Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821,and moved to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取)to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught at school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.
In 1849,after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon, but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.
Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital, she also set up the first medical school for women.

C. She couldn’t graduate from medical school.

Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off and on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity(湿度).A sensor(感应器)will find the presence of a human(and, with luck, ignore the dog!) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave, it will turn them off again.
The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will find faulty electrical appliances(用品),plugs or switches, separate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the firefighters. It will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using your personal card—the one you use for shopping—maybe using a number known only to you.
It will be impossible to lose the key, and a housebreaker will have to tamper(胡乱摆弄)with the lock or with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.
The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home. It does now, of course, but by 2040“entertainment(娱乐)”will mean much more. For one thing, you will be able to take part actively, rather than just watching.
8.The author intends to tell us that in 2040 　　　. 
A. we will live without lights and heaters
B. we will use much more lights and heaters
C. there will be no switches of lights and heaters
D. lights and heaters will be on and off automatically
9. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The sensor is multi-functional.
B. Without a computer, the sensor cannot do much.
C. The sensor will detect fire and make an emergency call when you are at home.
D. It is less likely to lose the key.
10.According to the author, in 2040,new technology 　　　. 
A. will free us from the keys we use today
B. will turn everything into sensors
C. will make the locks out of date
D. will get rid of all crimes
11.Thanks to computers, in 2040 people 　　　. 
A. will have no entertainment outside
B. will replace TV with computers
C. will be controlled by computers
D. will have more fun at home
D
To take the apple as a forbidden fruit is the most unlikely story the Christians（基督教徒）ever cooked up. For them, the forbidden fruit from Eden is evil（邪恶的）.So when Columbus brought the tomato back from South America, a land mistakenly considered to be Eden, everyone jumped to be the obvious conclusion. Wrongly taken as the apple of Eden, the tomato was shut out of the door of Europeans.
What made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake(曼德拉草), a plant that was thought to have come from Hell （地狱）.What earned the plant its awful reputation was its roots which looked like a dried-up human body occupied by evil spirits. Though the tomato and the mandrake were quite different except that both had bright red or yellow fruit, the general population considered them one and the same, too terrible to touch.
Cautious Europeans long ignored the tomato, and until the early 1700s most of the Western people continued to drag their feet. In the 1880s, the daughter of a well-known plant expert wrote that the most interesting part of an afternoon tea at her father’s house had been the “introduction this wonderful new fruit-or is it a vegetable?” As late as the twentieth century some writers classed tomatoes with mandrakes as an” evil fruit”.
But in the end tomatoes carried the day. The hero of the tomato was an American named Robert Johnson, and when he was publicly going to eat the tomato in 1820, people journeyed for hundreds of miles to watch him drop dead. “What are you afraid of?” he shouted. “I’ll show you fools that these things are good to eat!” Then he bit into the tomato. Some people fainted. But he survived and, according to a local story, set up a tomato-canning factory.
12. The tomato was shut out of the door of early Europeans mainly because ______.
A .it made Christians evil B. it was the apple of Eden
C. it came from a forbidden land D. it was religiously unacceptable
13. What can we infer from the underlined part in Paragraph 3?
A .The process of ignoring the tomato slowed down
B .There was little progress in the study of the tomato
C .The tomato was still refused in most western countries
D .Most western people continued to get rid of the tomato
14. What is the main reason for Robert Johnson to eat the tomato publicly?
A. To make himself a hero B. To remove people’s fear of the tomato
C .To speed up the popularity of the tomato
D To persuade people to buy products from his factory
15. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A .To challenge people’s fixed concepts of the tomato
B .To give an explanation to people’s dislike of the tomato
C .To present the change of people’s attitudes to the tomato
D. To show the process of freeing the tomato from religious influence

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Question: When I feel mad, what do I need to do?　16　 
Answer: Anger has gotten a bad name. But if you can deal with it properly, it can actually do much good to you. Just take the following steps.
Step 1:Don’t suppress(压制)it.
Studies have linked keeping anger suppressed with the development of health problems.　17　One study found that angry couples who always keep silent instead of having fights nearly double their chances of early death. 
Step 2:　18　 
If it’s social unfairness that has your blood boiling, release that anger into action. For example, you can donate your time to a charity. Helping others always leads to happiness.
Step 3:React strategically(战略性地).
Shouting at someone isn’t likely to improve the situation.　19　 Instead, take time to make a careful decision, and then speak your mind calmly. Force yourself to react more slowly and quietly than usual because angry people always speak louder and faster. 
Step 4:　20　 
Take your anger and go for a run or hit the gym; you’ll blow off steam and improve your health. Now that’s how you get rid of getting mad.
A. Put your anger into action.
B. This is especially true in marriage.
C. It will probably make things worse.
D. Will anger keep your blood boiling?
E. Work off your anger by working out.
F. How can I get rid of getting mad?
G. Do as follows and you’ll control your anger.
