Long story short, I would really appreciate meeting with you at some point to see if you can offer up any advice or suggestions. Thanks in advance. Regards, Sandy

Neudy Rojop, 29, looks across the rough, rocky road in the small rural village of San Rafael Pacaya. It leads to the home where she grew up and where she still lives today.
When Rojop was about 10, her cousin, Carlos, was very sick. Without any local clinics (诊所), Rojop’s family couldn’t even figure out what the disease was. They could do nothing but wait. Growing up, she noticed how frequently many of those around her were getting sick. As a teenager, she started to realize her community needed better chance to health care. So she determined to go to a nursing school.
But her vision was beyond being a nurse. After graduation, she realized one person was not enough to make the community better. “The people here may have common diseases,” she thought. “Some are known. But there may be new diseases that we don’t know about.” She wanted to do something to keep any illness from being a threat in the first place. She wanted to train people and do some research to monitor these illnesses and try to provide early actions, or try out new ways to prevent some of them.
Over the next few years, she and a small team brought her vision to life. They provided measures that could limit the possible risks. Olson, one of her colleagues, recalled, “She has zero clinical experience and zero research experience at first, but now she is a superstar here. Her working place is usually busy with about 300 patients per month.”
Now Rojop starts her days with a morning meeting, making decisions, solving problems and setting priorities with her teammates. “In the past, I was so young that I could do nothing for my community,” she says. “But now I can help because I know how.”
4．What inspired Rojop to go to a nursing school
A．A future well-paid job.
B．Her poor family background.
C．The need of community health care.
D．Her childhood experiences of being sick.
5．What was Rojop’s vision after graduation
A．Building more local hospitals.
B．Acting as a professional nurse.
C．Preventing diseases through early actions.
D．Providing better education for the school kids.

A．Rojop has been accepted widely.
B．Rojop lacks working experience.
C．Rojop enjoys being brought into focus.
D．Rojop hasn’t satisfied public expectations.
7．Which of the following best describes the quality of Rojop
A．Frank. B．Flexible. C．Determined. D．Generous.
Greatest Scientists of All Time
Albert Einstein
As a journalist might say, Albert Einstein was the whole package: unique look (wild hair, untidy sweater), witty personality (his words, such as God not playing dice, would live on) and major scientific reputation (his papers turned physics upside down). Time magazine named him Person ofthe Century.
Marie Curie
Born Maria Salomea Sklodowska in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland, she lived a hard life in her youth. In 1903, Curie, her husband and Becquerel won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work on radioactivity, making Curie the first woman to win a Nobel. In 1911 Curie won her second Nobel Prize, this time in chemistry, for her work with polonium and radium. She remains the only person to win Nobel prizes in two different sciences.
Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace earned her place in history as the first computer programmer — a full century before today’s computers appeared. She couldn’t have done it without British mathematician, inventor and engineer Charles Babbage. Their cooperation started in the early 1830s, when Lovelace was just 17. Babbage thought Lovelace threw her magic around the most abstract of Sciences and has grasped it with a force which few male intellects could have placed over it.
Nikola Tesla
We owe much of our modern electrified life to the lab experiments of Nikola Tesla, the Serbian-American engineer, born in 1856 in what’s now Croatia. His designs advanced alternating current at the start of the electric age, powering American homes across the country. He developed the Tesla coil — a high-voltage transformer — and techniques to convey power wirelessly. Cellphone makers (and others) are just now using the potential of this idea.
8．What does the underlined word witty most probably mean
A．Funny and clever. B．Proud and optimistic.
C．Sensitive and careful. D．Successful and reliable.
9．How many of the scientists in the passage worked with others to make great achievements
A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.
10．What can we learn from the passage
A．Albert Einstein was named Person of the Century by a journalist.
B．Marie Curie remains the only person to win Nobel Prizes twice in physics.
C．Ada Lovelace was the first woman British mathematician.
D．Nikola Tesla made great contributions to our modern electrified life.

五、书面表达
45．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My first year living in Los Angeles, I was a birthday-party clown (小丑). I struggled a lot with my identity because, though I viewed myself as a filmmaker, everyone in my life viewed me as this ridiculous day job. To make matters more confusing, being a clown is itself an identity-masking job. You wear makeup to cover your features. Sometimes I’d have to wear a mask and completely cover my face.
For certain parties, I’d have to go as a specific character. The way that would work is someone from the company would drop off costumes for me the night before a party at an appointed spot. It was like a shameful deal.
One night, they handed me my trash bag and said, “Tomorrow you’re going to be Batman.” Now, keep in mind that at the time I had a giant moustache. I know: a clown with a moustache—that’s a huge red flag for parents. But I hadn’t wanted to change my physical appearance for that job, because that would have been me subconsciously (下意识地) admitting I was more of a clown than an artist, So for the party, I chose not to shave.
The next day, I went to the party. It was at this huge public park, and I had to leave my car parked far enough away so that the kids couldn’t see me getting off my car. So I was all the way on the edge of the park, and the only way for me to get to the party was to walk to it. Normally at these parties, all you have going for you is the element of surprise. You pop in through the front door: “Surprise! Batman’s here!” All the kids go crazy. Without the element of surprise, these visits are meaningless. So I thought, “Should I try to make an entrance (入场) for them ” Reflecting what to do next, I heard a scream, “Look, a Batman with a moustache!” Suddenly, the entire party broke out in laughter.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
I was so embarrassed and wanted to run back.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I stared at the cake with a clown wearing a moustache in disbelief.

【导语】本文是一篇报道。文章主要报道了袁隆平院士因对中国粮食安全和农业科学发展以及增加世界粮食产量的贡献而被授予共和国勋章。

45．I was so embarrassed and wanted to run back. But I had to complete my ridiculous task. After I ran into the party, they were embarrassing me. I saw the birthday boy with his dad, who was laughing, and he said, “you see, I told you, son. Batman has a moustache.” He took me to the huge birthday cake with a Batman drawn on it, and the Batman had a moustache.
I stared at the cake with a clown wearing a moustache in disbelief. When initially bringing the cake out, instead of just admitting that it was messed up, the parents tried to save face and said to the boy, “Batman always has a moustache. He just shaves moustache it for movies.” In a surprising twist of fate, my moustache confirmed what the parents had said and convinced the kids that I was actually Batman. Not shaving the moustache was a correct thing. I was the hero that they needed.
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文以作者作为生日派对小丑的经历为线索展开，有人看到作者在扮演蝙蝠侠的时候自己是“有胡子”的，在十分尴尬的情况之下，过生日的男孩的父母却“将错就错”地向自己的孩子展示了一个被留着胡子的蝙蝠侠装饰的生日蛋糕，作者意外地成为了这次派对的“英雄”。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我很尴尬，想跑回去。”可知，第一段可描写作者作为“有胡子”的蝙蝠侠在生日派对上的尴尬，讲述过生日男孩的父亲做出的举动，向孩子证明生日蛋糕上的“有胡子”的蝙蝠侠是没错的。
②由第二段首句内容“我难以置信地看着蛋糕上一个留着小胡子的小丑。”可知，第二段可描写作者的难以置信以及男孩的父亲为了在孩子面前挽回面子将错就错，使孩子相信蝙蝠侠是有胡子的，作者则成为他们所需要的“英雄”。
2.续写线索：作者的初次尴尬——父亲的回应——作者的二次尴尬——父亲将错就错的解释——作者的感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①完成：complete/finish
②承认：admit/acknowledge
③大笑：laugh/ burst into laughter
情绪类
①尴尬的：embarrassed/awkward
②难以置信地： in disbelief/unbelievably
【点睛】[高分句型1] I saw the birthday boy with his dad, who was laughing, and he said, “you see, I told you, son. Batman has a moustache.” （关系代词who引导非限制性定语从句）
[高分句型2] In a surprising twist of fate, my moustache confirmed what the parents had said and convinced the kids that I was actually Batman.（confirmed后面由what引导宾语从句，convinced 后面由that引导宾语从句）
