For 65 years, Women of Achievement has been shining a
spotlight on the outstanding women. Here are 4 out of 10
finalists in 2020.
Susan Katzman
After a 36-year career with Saint Louis Public Schools, Susan
Katzman has aimed at improving lives around. She co-founded
the CORO Women in Leadership Alumnae program, an effort for
program graduates to continue the work in the community on
behalf of women. “My final goal is to make sure that there are
fair opportunities for everyone, regardless of gender (性别) or
race,” Katzman says.

co-founded the Breakfast Club, Inc., an African American breast
cancer support group now in its 22nd year. “Our task is to
provide education, awareness, resources and support for our
community about breast cancer and its prevention,” Jackson
says.
Jennifer Hillman
The past 20 years, Hillman has focused on charity work—providing support in areas of education, health care, and local
businesses. In 2015, Hillman set up the Hillman Scholars program
for high school students. She is far more creative to organize the
program not only providing funding for students, but also filled
with special events and networking opportunities.
Carlene Davis
For 37 years, Carlene Davis has developed her days to
teaching children from kindergarten to eighth grade. An
operation, though, resulted in Davis’ retirement (退休). However,
she never stops. After Davis got to feel better, she continued to
teach fourth-graders at Montessori Schools and also began
volunteering for American Association of Retired Persons.

Soft cries came from the back seat about halfway through
road trip home. Allison heard her 2-year-old daughter’s voice
asking: “Ruff? Ruff?” She suddenly realized her daughter’s
favorite toy dog, Ruff, had been left behind at the Doubletree, a
hotel in the capital. Allison said she felt terrible about forgetting
her daughter Juniper’s comfort companion. As soon as the
family unloaded the car that night, she called the hotel and
learned that Ruff was in the lost-and-found and would be mailed
to them in a day or two.
Three days later, a box arrived at the Allison’s home
addressed to Juniper. Inside, next to Ruff, she found a tin of
cookies, a note and some photos, which showed how Juniper’s
toy dog had spent her solo vacation at the Doubletree. “Dear
Juniper,” the note read, “thanks for letting us borrow Ruff for a
day! Don’t worry, she didn’t work hard and we gave her plenty
of playtime! Hope you and Ruff visit us again soon! Love,
Doubletree Team.” The funny photos were taken by front-desk
clerk Maria. The photos showed her talking on the phone, using
a computer, hanging out at the hotel swimming pool and
sleeping in the middle of a king-size bed.
“Juniper couldn’t stop laughing as she looked at the
photos,” said Allison, who runs a photography business. “The
love and care they put into doing this is unbelievable. A lot of times, when kids lose their toys or toy animals at a hotel, they
might never see them again.”
She decided to write a post about the hotel’s kind deed on
the Internet. She included photos she had taken of Juniper after
she was reunited with her dog. “I wanted to do something to
cheer people up during the pandemic (疫情), and it seems to have
worked,” she said. “People started sharing it almost
immediately.”
did Allison find Ruff missing?
way to the hotel.
the way home.
she called the Doubletree.
she unloaded the car.
does the underlined word “her” in paragraph 2
refer to?
r.
n.

.
did Allison write the post on the Internet?
thank the clerk at the Doubletree.
advertise her photography business.
make people happy during the pandemic.
share the photos of Juniper with the toy dog.
of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.A Lost Toy Dog
B.A Warm-hearted Clerk
Unbelievable Post
D.A Careless Mother
C When I'm surfing the Web, I want to be attracted by articles
on Europe's political history, but I end up reading trivia (琐事)
such as a menu from a Michelin restaurant. Why am I not curious
about the things I want to be curious about? Curiosity feels as if
it's outside your control, but if you understand what causes
curiosity, you might be able to direct it a little bit better.
Humans will give up the known benefit to explore the
unknown. In one experiment, subjects were asked to
choose one of four photos, each carrying some chance of
paying a cash prize. Photos appeared again and again, so
subjects learned to pick the best-paying. But when a novel photo
appeared, they chose it quite more often. This preference for
novelty is the reason why producers regularly change product
packaging and advertising.
We're super curious when we sense that the environment
offers new information to add to what we already know. Note
that your brain calculates what you might learn in the short-term—your long-term interests are ignored. That' s why a cardiac
surgeon (心脏外科医生) who is excited about her job will find a
conference presentation on the operation boring if her brain
decides that the talk won't add to her knowledge. However, when
her friend persuades her to attend a lecture on arts, her brain
may calculate that this will be a rich source of information—and
she finds herself interested.
Why not just search for topics you truly want to learn about
at present? That sounds logical, but a search for a topic like
"universe" will lead to thousands of results. And there is no way
of knowing which offers the just-right match to your present
knowledge that will maintain (维持) your curiosity. You'll probably
end up like the surgeon at the boring conference talk. Albert Einstein advised a young student to "never lose a holy
curiosity." But the challenge is changing its focus from something
short-lived to something more lasting.
is the first paragraph mainly about?
seems difficult to control our curiosity.
's no hard task to fully understand curiosity.
can always attract everyone's attention.
's political history is too boring to focus on.
does the cardiac surgeon find attending the art
lecture interesting?
is tired of her present job.
often attends art exhibition.
finds it can expand her knowledge.
considers it does good to her work.
can we learn from this text?
ts were more likely to choose repeated photos.
-matched results offer no way to maintain our curiosity.
in suggested it was challenging to awaken the short-term curiosity.
g our curiosity focused on the long-term interests is
quite an effort.
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选入能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余项。
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? 31 Philosophers
used it as an excuse to argue about cause and effect. What's more,
it’s what is known as a paradox—a situation or statement that
appears to present contrary facts, both of which can logically be
true.
Some might say the chicken came first, since you can’t have an egg without a chicken to lay it. But others might argue the
egg came first, since all chickens begin life inside of an egg. A
paradox, right? 32 “It’s
pretty easy to understand,” said Jasmina Wiemann, a
scientist at Yale University. “The egg is much older,
evolutionarily(进化地) , than the chicken.”
Chickens, as we all know, probably became domesticated (驯养) about 10,000 years ago. 33 These animals are known as jungle
fowl or Gallus.
34 Dinosaurs, birds, reptiles and even mammals that lay eggs
evolved about 300 million years ago, Wiemann said. This pushes
the origins of the egg back even further.
By the way, if you thought it strange to see mammals are put
into a group with egg-laying animals, you should know that egg-laying is part of our evolutionary history. And female humans
today still produce eggs through a process called ovulation. The
soft eggs without shell stay inside of humans. 35
existed even long before this.
question has its roots in ancient Greece.
answer remains mysterious even if you ask a specialist.
e eggs came into being hundreds of millions of years
ago.
answer is rather simple if you talk to an ancient expert
about it.
the animals that they developed from date back to 21
million years ago.
stranger, some mammals still reproduce by laying
eggs that survive outside the body.

Then, just as I was about to 46 , a plant appeared from the
ground. I tracked its growth by the minute, 47 every inch it grew.
But my mother 48 announced, “We’re moving elsewhere.”
The next year, I was 49 that back in my old home, another
child was eating my home-grown watermelon. But now, as an
adult, I 50 that in terrible weather, even with my continuous 51 ,
no plant could grow into a melon. However, when I was a child,
believing was enough.
In 52 the mystery of a person's life, childhood stands as the
key to its secrets. 53 my childhood, I realize my grandmother
makes a 54 to my life. She taught me, "If you 55 for your dreams,
they can come true." She taught me to believe in
“watermelons”.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
When Edith heard there was a competition to invent a brand-new machine, she longed to enter. Her idol (偶像), the famous
inventor Mathew, was going to be the judge! Edith planned and
worked on her invention every day after school. Finally, a huge
light-up music box was finished—just in time for the competition.
She was sure it would win first prize. Everyone would certainly be
amazed when the lights shone and the music began to play.
However, when Edith slowly turned the handle (手柄),
nothing happened. The machine needed more power.
Edith turned the handle faster, but no matter how quickly she
went, she couldn’t get more than a flash from the lights. There
was no way this would win and she had run out of time to fix it.
On the competition night, Edith went to the town hall with a
heavy heart. She set up her music machine, feeling like a failure.
Mathew burst through the doors on his bike, whose pedals
(脚踏板) gave off light. Everyone cheered excitedly. He got off the
bike and walked around the rooms to see the inventions on show.
Edith was nervous as he came over. “Can you tell me about your
machine?” he asked. “It is a music machine that lights up.”
Edith said in a low voice. Mathew clapped happily. “Amazing!
Show me how it works.”
Edith turned the handle faster than she’d ever managed
before. Terrible slow music started and the lights flashed on and off. Someone nearby laughed. Edith’s cheeks turned red.
“Don’t worry.” Mathew smiled, “All my inventions went
wrong when I was younger. You mustn’t give up.” Hiding
behind the machine, Edith couldn’t wait for the competition to
end.
The judging had almost finished when suddenly the lights of
the hall went out. No one could get the lights to work and the
competition couldn’t carry on. Edith thought for a moment. If
only she were stronger, she could have turned the handle of her
machine faster and lit up the room. In the dark, Edith could just
see Mathew climbing onto his bike, with his pedals glimmering
(发出微光).

C
When I'm surfing the Web, I want to be attracted by articles
on Europe's political history, but I end up reading trivia (琐事)
such as a menu from a Michelin restaurant. Why am I not curious
about the things I want to be curious about? Curiosity feels as if
it's outside your control, but if you understand what causes
curiosity, you might be able to direct it a little bit better.
Humans will give up the known benefit to explore the
unknown. In one experiment, subjects were asked to choose one
of four photos, each carrying some chance of paying a cash prize.
Photos appeared again and again, so subjects learned to pick the
best-paying. But when a novel photo appeared, they chose it
quite more often. This preference for novelty is the reason why
producers regularly change product packaging and advertising.
We're super curious when we sense that the environment
offers new information to add to what we already know. Note
that your brain calculates what you might learn in the short-term—your long-term interests are ignored. That' s why a cardiac
surgeon (心脏外科医生) who is excited about her job will find a
conference presentation on the operation boring if her brain
decides that the talk won't add to her knowledge. However, when
her friend persuades her to attend a lecture on arts, her brain
may calculate that this will be a rich source of information—and
she finds herself interested.
Why not just search for topics you truly want to learn about at present? That sounds logical, but a search for a topic like
"universe" will lead to thousands of results. And there is no way
of knowing which offers the just-right match to your present
knowledge that will maintain (维持) your curiosity. You'll probably
end up like the surgeon at the boring conference talk.
Albert Einstein advised a young student to "never lose a holy
curiosity." But the challenge is changing its focus from something
short-lived to something more lasting.
28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. It seems difficult to control our curiosity.
B. It's no hard task to fully understand curiosity.
C. Trivia can always attract everyone's attention.
D. Europe's political history is too boring to focus on.
29. Why does the cardiac surgeon find attending the art
lecture interesting?
A. She is tired of her present job.
B. She often attends art exhibition.
C. She finds it can expand her knowledge.
D. She considers it does good to her work.
30. What can we learn from this text?
A. Subjects were more likely to choose repeated photos.
B. Well-matched results offer no way to maintain our
curiosity.
C. Einstein suggested it was challenging to awaken the short-term curiosity.
D. Keeping our curiosity focused on the long-term interests
is quite an effort.
【答案】A C D
【篇章解读】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了人们对未知事物有好奇心，但这种好奇心一般是短期的，要想维持长时间的好奇心还需要付出努力。
21.【解析】主旨题。根据作者自身的例子，本来想浏览政治性新闻，最后注意力放到了一些琐碎的事情上，加上“Curiosity feels as if
it's outside your control…,”这句话可知，第一段主要讲述了控制我们的好奇心似乎是一件很困难的事情。故选择A选项。
21.【解析】细节题。根据第三段的定位句“However, when her
friend persuades her to attend a lecture on arts, her brain may
calculate that this will be a rich source of information—and she
finds herself interested.”可知，外科医生参加艺术类的讲座，能够接收到丰富的信息，与C选项“能够扩大她的知识量”不谋而合，故选C选项。22.【解析】推断题。根据最后一段“But the challenge is
changing its focus from something short-lived to something
more lasting.”从关注短期的事物转移到关注长期的事物是一个挑战可以推断出，把好奇心集中在长期的兴趣点上是需要付出努力的，故选D选项。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选入能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余项。
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? 31 Philosophers
used it as an excuse to argue about cause and effect. What's more,
it’s what is known as a paradox—a situation or statement that
appears to present contrary facts, both of which can logically be
true.
Some might say the chicken came first, since you can’t have
an egg without a chicken to lay it. But others might argue the
egg came first, since all chickens begin life inside of an egg. A
paradox, right? 32 “It’s pretty easy to understand,” said
Jasmina Wiemann, a scientist at Yale University. “The egg is
much older, evolutionarily(进化地) , than the chicken.”
Chickens, as we all know, probably became domesticated (驯养) about 10,000 years ago. 33 These animals are known as jungle
fowl or Gallus.
34 Dinosaurs, birds, reptiles and even mammals that lay eggs
evolved about 300 million years ago, Wiemann said. This pushes
the origins of the egg back even further.
By the way, if you thought it strange to see mammals are put
into a group with egg-laying animals, you should know that egg-laying is part of our evolutionary history. And female humans
today still produce eggs through a process called ovulation. The
soft eggs without shell stay inside of humans. 35
A. Eggs existed even long before this.
B. This question has its roots in ancient Greece.
C. The answer remains mysterious even if you ask a specialist.
D. Eatable eggs came into being hundreds of millions of
years ago.
E. The answer is rather simple if you talk to an ancient expert
about it.
F. But the animals that they developed from date back to 21
million years ago.
G. Even stranger, some mammals still reproduce by laying
eggs that survive outside the body.
