known about her private life.As a college student,she studied a number of subjects and fell in love with astronomy(天文学).Leavitt never married and was considered a serious woman with little time to waste on unimportant aspects of life.Her co-workers described her as pleasant and friendly,and much focused on the importance of the work she was doing.She began to lose her hearing as a young woman due to a condition that only worsened with time.In 1893,she began working at Harvard College Observatory under the direction of astronomer E.C Pickering.He directed a group of women,who were called“computers”.These“computers”conducted important astronomy research by studying photographic plates(照相底片)of the sky and cataloging(编入目录)characteristics of stars.The women were not allowed to operate telescopes,which limited their ability to conduct their own research.They lived at a time when womens contributions were undervalued or ignored.Henrietta Swan Leavitt continued her research until just before her death,always thinking of herself as an astronomer,despite her start as a nameless“computer”in Pickerings department.While Leavitt was not officially recognized during her life for her work,Harlow Shapley,the astronomer who was the Harvard College Observatory director,did recognize her worth and made her head of Stellar Photometry in 1921.At that time Leavitt was suffering from cancer,and she died at the same year.This prevented her from being 学科网（北京）股份有限公司4recognized as a Nobel Prize owner for her contributions.After her death,her name was placed on a lunar crater(月球陨石坑),and asteroid(小行星)5383 Leavitt carries her name.At least one book has been published about her and her name is usually mentioned as part of the history of astronomical contributions.24What can we learn about Leavitt?AShe was hard to get along with.BShe suffered from cancer in childhood.CShe became interested in astronomy at college.DShe never regarded herself as an astronomer.25Why were the women regarded as“computers”?AThey were looked down upon by others.BThey devoted themselves to science.CThey knew nothing but photographic plates.DThey used to serve as working computers.26What happened after Leavitts death?AHer achievements were ignored.BA Nobel Prize was awarded to her.COne of her books was published.DShe was honored in a special way.27Which of the following can best describe Leavitt?AKind.BDevoted.CReliable.DEnergetic.CIn 1999,John Smyth,a high-school teacher decided it was time to retire.Together with his wife Helen,he set off on a journey around Australia.But when they returned,John found he missed the classroom,so he spent another eight years doing casual teaching.Then he heard about a program known as Volunteers for Isolated Students Education(VISE),which pairs up energetic people with educational experience,usually retired teachers,with children whose schooling is largely done remotely,because they live too far away from towns and cities to attend regular schools.John grew up in the country and as a kid in the bush,he always dreamed of running with circus,but he didnt even have much chance to see the circus in person.Therefore he was immediately interested in the program and got a travelling post as a teacher with Stardust Circus.The lesson timetable was built around the kids performance schedules.“The eight-year-old I tutored was an awesome gymnast who was part of the teeterboard(跷跷板)act,”he explains.“A big guy would jump on the other side,he would swing up in the air,do a couple of twirls(旋转)and land on his uncles shoulders,and his uncle was standing on the boys fathers shoulders!”The circus still includes some animal acts,including lions,monkeys,horses,goats and pigs.John and his wife Helen found it extraordinary enough to sink into sleep to the sound of lions roaring,but one day the lion-trainer,Matt,gave him a very special privilege,inviting him in to meet four 13-month-old lions in person.While it was understandably a little scary at first,for John it was a never-to-be-forgotten experience,which helped him realize his boyhood dream in his 75th year.28.What can we know about the children in the Stardust Circus?A.They missed the classroom.B.Most of them lived downtown.C.They were dreaming of travelling.D.They were lacking in regular schooling.29.What can we learn from the passage?A.John taught the gymnast to perform in the air.学科网（北京）股份有限公司5B.Teachers of the program had a flexible schedule.C.The couple were tired of the sound of lions roaring.D.Johns dream came true as a volunteer in the circus.30.How did John probably feel after meeting the little lions?A.Scared.B.Calm.C.Excited.D.Regretful.31.What is the best title for the text?A.Enjoying Retirement B.Missing Regular School C.Running with Circus D.Travelling with Animals D“Creativity is the key to a brighter future,”say education and business experts.Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925,we might not have the product that we now think greatly important:a new type of tape.Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company.At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together.But his boss told him not to think more about the idea.Finally,using his own time,Drew improved the tape,which now is used everywhere by many people.And his former company learned from its mistake.Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas.Creativity is not something one is just born with,nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence.The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively.Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.Unfortunately,schools have not tried to encourage creativity.With strong attention to test results and the development of reading,writing and mathematical skills,many educators give up creativity for correct answers.The result is that children can gain information but cant recognize ways to use it in new situations.They may know the rules correctly but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.It is important to give children choices.From the earliest age,children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results.Even if its choosing between two food items for lunch,decision-making helps thinking skills.As children grow older,parents should try to let them decide how to use their time or spend their money.This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.32.What did the company where Drew once worked learn from its mistake?A.It should encourage people to work a longer time.B.People should be discouraged to think freely.C.People will do better if they pay all attention to their work.D.It is necessary for people to spend some of their working time developing new ideas.33.What can we know from the passage about creativity?A.It is something that most people are born with.B.It is something that has nothing to do with intelligence at all.C.It is something that is not important to the life in the future at all.D.It is a way of using what one has learned to work out new problems.34.Why dont schools try to encourage creativity?A.They pay no attention to examination marks.B.They dont attach importance to creativity education.C.They dont want their students to make mistakes.D.They think it impossible to develop creativity in class.学科网（北京）股份有限公司635.What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money?A.Allow them to have a try.B.Try to help them as much as possible.C.Take no notice of whatever they do.D.Order them to spend the least money.第二节第二节 七选五七选五(共共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分分，满分 12.5
