【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了西方第一位成为医生的女性伊丽莎白·布莱克威尔的求学与工作经历。她不仅是西方第一位女性内科医生,不仅创办了自己的医院,还为女性朋友建立了第一所医学学校。

1考查序数词。句意:在19世纪中期,那几乎是不可能的事情。某一个世纪是按照顺序排序下来的,所以空格处应使用序数词。故填nineteenth

2考查名词。句意:她给医学学校写了很多信希望能够被录取,最终她被费城一名医生接受了。空格位于两个介词之间,所以应用名词形式。admit(承认,准许)的名词形式为admission,故填admission

3考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意同上。句子主语sheaccept之间是被动关系,所以使用被动语态。根据前文中的wasadmitted等词汇可知,本文对于伊丽莎白·布莱克威尔事迹的描述,使用的都是一般过去时,所以这句话也应使用一般过去时。故填was accepted

4考查形容词。句意:她如此意志坚定,她通过教书、上音乐课来获得她上学的费用。空格位于be动词was后作表语,所以空格处填形容词。形容“某人意志坚定”,应使用-ed形式的形容词。故填determined

5考查介词。句意同上。“上学用的钱”是表达钱的目的的,所以可以使用介词for(表示对象、用途等)给,为了。故填for

6考查形容词。句意:1849年,从医学学校毕业后,她决定去巴黎深造。空格位于名词介词from后,名词school前,所以使用形容词。medicine()的形容词为medical(医疗的),故填medical

7考查动名词作宾语。句意:返回美国后,她发现因为她是女性,开始她的工作是很难的。空格位于介词upon后,并且return(返回)是动词,所以应使用动名词作宾语。故填returning

8考查代词。句意同上。这里found后真正的宾语是不定式to start her own practice,所以空格处应使用人称代词it作形式宾语。故填it

9考查不定冠词。句意:到1857年,伊丽莎白·布莱克威尔与她的姐姐、另外一名女医生一起,开办了一家新医院,第一个专门为妇女和孩子开设的医院。这个new hospital(新医院)在文中第一次出现,所以应使用不定冠词修饰。new是以辅音音素开始的。故填a

10考查现在分词。句意:另外,作为第一位女性内科医生,她建立了自己的医院,还为女性开办了医学学校。句子主语she与空格处单词be之间是主动关系,所以应使用现在分词作状语。故填being

【题目】 We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn't even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched mouth open in surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop. She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, “Very dirty floors.”

“Yes, I'm glad they've finally decided to clean them,” the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, “But aren't you working late?”

Mum just pushed harder, each swipe(拖一下)of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to write in the big book.

After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum bowed politely to the nurse and said, “Thank you.”

Outside, Mum told me, “Dagmar is fine. No fever.”

“You saw her, Mum?”

“Of course. I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. It's a fine hospital. But such floors! A mop is no good. You need a brush.”

【题目】 A desire among many seniors is to “age in place.” Aging in place is a term used to describe a person living in their own house, for as long as they are able to, as they age. Yes, the familiarity of your current home is the advantage of aging in place, but the potential financial drawbacks to renovate(翻新)the house might actually be more costly than the long-term benefits.

40 years ago, with a growing family, you probably purchased a 4-bedroom child-friendly house. Now, with kids moving out, you might be thinking about changing one of your bedrooms into a massive master bathroom, and another into an open-space reading area. You might also be thinking about cutting back on lawn maintenance(草坪维护)by installing a pool surrounded by beautiful paving stones. It all sounds wonderful doesn’t itFor the short term, you may really enjoy the new upgrades, but you’ll still have to climb those stairs, pay to heat and cool a home that’s larger than what you need, and continue fixing all the things that start to go wrong with a 40-year-old home.

Last month, in their Retirement Repot, Kiplinger addressed the point, “Renovations are just a part of what you need to make aging in place work for you. While it’s typically less expensive to remain in your home than to pay for assisted living, that doesn’t mean it’s a slam dunk to stay put. You’ll still have a long to-do list. You need to plan ahead for how you will manage maintenance and care-for your home, and for yourself.”

So, at some point, the time may come when you decide to sell this house anyway. That can pose a big challenge if you’ve already taken cash value out of your home and used it to do the type of renovation we mentioned above. The family moving into your neighborhood is probably similar to what your family was 40 years ago.

1Why do many seniors want to age in place

A.They are familiar with the house.B.They can enjoy long-term benefits.

C.They can live as long as they desire.D.They are likely to avoid financial trouble.

2What do the seniors renovate the houses mainly for

A.Preparing for aging in place.B.Making it more energy-efficient.

C.Cutting back on the necessary cost.D.Making full use of the space available.

3What is conveyed in the Retirement Report

A.Aging in place turns out to be very rewarding.

B.Renovating the house calls for a lot of money.

C.Assisted living deserves wider public attention.

D.Aging in place is more than renovating the house.

4What can be the author’s advice for those wishing to age in place

A.Take life as it is.B.Think before you act.

C.Better late than never.D.Enjoy life to the fullest.
