My brother and I were driving home together and we were deep in conversation. Because of his 1 my brother

took a wrong turn, taking us towards a bridge and we had no way to turn back. 2 , my brother paid the bridge fee

We eventually reached an exit slipway and, as we took it, my brother 4 a beat-up black car parked by the side

I know that I wasn’t a willing student. 11 I wasn’t slow to learn new things. The problem was that I lacked

confidence in myself. Mr. Jenkins made me feel that I had my own 12 (strong). I was interested in the study of the

stars and planets and he asked me to give a presentation to the class. That was really the first time I 13 (try) to

explain science to an audience and now it’s my job! Often when I’m preparing a programme, I think about 14 Mr.

Jenkins would have done it. Sometimes I think if only I could call him and ask for his opinion!

Finally, my last tip is: keep trying. Luckily for Harry Potter fans, the author J.K. Rowling didn’t listen to the

negative comments from the twelve publishers 15 rejected her books. For two years, she tried to get them 16

(publish). Even the publisher who gave her a contract said she had no chance of making money in children’s books.

He was wrong and for the last ten years, J.K. Rowling 17 (be) the author of the most famous children’s books in

the world.

I’m barely the only person who feels this way. According to research, over two-thirds of young people find it

easier 18 (make) friends online than it is “in real life”. I’m way beyond a shy or reserved person, but I’m wired up

every day, like most of my friends. On the surface, I have an active social life. I attend parties and play sports but I’m

always distracted. They say that phones bring people 19 (close) together but in reality, my mind is always a

million miles away. I obsess 20 exactly how many followers I have on my account, but I can’t remember the

birthdays of some of my oldest mates.

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，38 分）

第一节（共 14 小题；每小题 2分，共 28 分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Charles Robert Darwin was born on 12 February 1809 in Shropshire, England. Darwin’s childhood passion was

science, and his interest in chemistry, however, was clear: he was even nicknamed ‘Gas’ by his classmates.

In 1825, his father sent him to study medicine at Edinburgh University, where he learned how to classify plants.

Darwin became passionate about natural history and this became his focus while he studied at Cambridge. Darwin

went on a voyage together with Robert Fitzroy, the captain of HMS Beagle, to South America to facilitate British trade

in Patagonia. The journey was life-changing. Darwin spent much of the trip on land collecting samples of plants,

animals and rocks, which helped him to develop an understanding of the processes that shape the Earth’s surface.

Darwin’s analysis of the plants and animals that he gathered led him to express doubts on former explanations about

how species formed and evolved over time.

Darwin’s work convinced him that natural selection was key to understanding the development of the natural

world. The theory of natural selection says that individuals of a species are more likely to survive when they inherit

(经遗传获得) characteristics best suited for that specific environment. These features then become more widespread

and can lead eventually to the development of a new species. With natural selection, Darwin argued how a wide

variety of life forms developed over time from a single common ancestor.

Darwin married his cousin, Emma Wedgwood, in 1839. When Darwin’s eldest daughter, Annie, died from a

sudden illness in 1851, he lost his belief in God. His tenth and final child, Charles Waring Darwin, was born in 1856.

Significantly for Darwin, this baby was disabled, altering how Darwin thought about the human species. Darwin had

previously thought that species remained adapted until the environment changed; he now believed that every new

variation was imperfect and that a struggle to survive was what drove species to adapt.

Though rejected at the beginning, Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection is nowadays well accepted by

the scientific community as the best evidence-based explanation for the diversity and complexity of life on Earth. The

Natural History Museum’s library alone has 478 editions of his On the Origin of Species in 38 languages.

21. What made Darwin reconsider the origin and development of species?

A. Examining plants and animals collected.

B. His desire for a voyage to different continents.

C. Classifying samples in a journey to South America.

D. His passion for natural history at Edinburgh University.

22. Which of the following changed Darwin’s view on the human species?

A. That he had ten children in all. B. That he lost his eldest daughter.

C. His youngest son’s being disabled. D. His marriage with Emma Wedgwood.

23. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Darwin’s interest of study never changed.

B. Darwin’s happy family gave him much support in his studies.

C. Darwin’s discoveries were based on his life and field studies.

D. Darwin’s theory of evolution was accepted at the very beginning.

24. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Darwin’s passion for medical science.

B. Charles Darwin’s changing interest.

C. Charles Darwin’s discoveries and family tics.

D. Charles Darwin’s life and work.
