第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项
A
Maja Kazaic looked closely down into the aquarium(水族馆).For two years，she’d been watching the injured
dolphin named Winter swim around the tank.From a distance，the dolphin seemed approachable enough.Still，as
Kazazic prepared to j ump into the water，a little panic
gradually came into her excitement.
The young woman eased herself into the pool.Despite
her fear，she felt strong wearing her new leg.She was ready
to make good on a promise from long ago.
In second grade in Mostar，Yugoslavia，Kazazic’s five- year-old cousin，Jasmina，died of leukemia(白血病).Kazazic
swore that she would honor the little girl by swimming with a dolphin，an animal they both adored.“Jasmina never got the
chance to do it，”says Kazazic，32，“so I decided that someday
I’d do it for her.”
In 1993，during the Bosnian civil war，16-year-old
Kazazic was badly injured.Her left leg was cut off just below
the knee and was brought to the United States for treatment.A few months later，Kazazic received her first artificial leg.Because her right leg was also damaged，walking was still
very painful.Nonetheless，she managed to graduate from a
local high school.
After receiving a BA in psychology，she moved to
Florida’s Gulf Coast.She liked watching the dolphins play at
the aquarium.A young dolphin，Winter，who had lost her tail
in a crab trap，caught Kazazic’s eye：“She swam more like a
shrimp(虾)than a dolphin.” After one doctor’s visit，trainers fit Winter with a high—tech tail.When it was done，Winter swam away fast.Kazazic
was impressed.She approached the trainers，who put her in
touch with the inventors.Within ten days，she had a new leg
and she could walk without pain again.
Eight months 1ater，Kazazic was ready to keep the
promise she had made in honor of Jasmina.“After being in a
war zone，this should be a piece of cake，”Kazazic said as she
lowered herself into the tank.She held out a hand to Winter who approached cautiously，and then moved away.After a
few minutes，the dolphin let Kazazic move her hand gently
over her back.The two started an hour—long swim around the
pool.When Kazazic climbed out，her parents hugged her.She
would have shouted with joy had she not been aware of
dolphins’sensitivity to noise.Instead she quietly said，“I felt I owed somebody something，and now I’ve paid my debt.”Out
in the parking lot，she got into her car and shouted loudly and
happily all the way.
Which is the correct order of the following events?
a.Kazazic was brought to the USA for treatment.
b.Kazazic’s five—year—old
cousin，Jasmina，died
of
leukemia.
c.Kazazic swam with a dolphin named Winter.
d.Kazazic’s left leg was cut off below the knee.
e.Kazazic had a new leg and could walk without pain.
A.b.d，c，a，e
B.b.d.a.e，c

B.…“so I decided that someday I’d do it for her.”(Paragraph 3)
C.“I felt I owed somebody something，and now I’ve paid my debt.”(Paragraph 7)
D.“After being in a war zone，this should be a piece of cake，”…(Paragraph 7)
Whieh of the following words can we use to describe

It is easy to lose patience with science today． The questions are pressing: How dangerous is air pollution? What about low-level radiation? When will that horrible earthquake strike California? And why can't we predict weather better? But the evidence is often described as "uncertain", forcing scientists to base their points of view almost as much on intuition（直觉）as on science．
When historians and philosophers of science listen to these questions, some conclude that science may not be able to solve all these problems any time soon． The unknowns can grow into riddles that are impossible to solve． Because of the unstable and changing state of the earth's atmosphere, for example, scientists have struggled for centuries to predict the weather with precision（精确） but failed．
The case is different for scientists of astronomy． For example, they think that the gravitational force of a nearby space vehicle, though tiny, is able to change the path of a much larger planet if the vehicle spends enough time close to it． With the aid of Newton's laws of gravitational attraction, ground controllers can predict the path of a planetary probe （探测仪）-or satellite-with incredible accuracy． They do this by calculating the gravitational force from each of the passing planets until the probe speeds beyond the edge of the solar system．A much more difficult task is to calculate what happens when two or three times of such force pull on the probe at the same time． Such procedures can, of course, be very difficult, but for experiments, they are effective．
This range of questions-from simple problems to those impossibly complex-has resulted in nicknames for various fields of study: "soft" sciences and
" hard "
sciences．“Soft” sciences admit a great degree of uncertainty． Academicians tend to judge fields such as sociology, psychology, and political science as “soft” because they are assumed to be understandable, of unnecessary mathematical accuracy, and concerned with everyday affairs such as interpersonal relationships． However, "hard" sciences, such as astronomy and chemistry, are said to offer precise answers． Precise definitions for "hard" sciences vary, but the characteristics of "hard" sciences include: producing testable predictions; performing controlled experiments; relying on quantifiable data and mathematical models; a high degree of accuracy and objectivity; and generally applying a pure form of the scientific method
We can learn from the passage that
．
A．a large planet is able to change the size of a tiny planet
B．ground controllers can affect the gravitational force of planets
C．calculating the probe speeds beyond the solar system is possible
D．predicting the weather is more difficult than predicting the path of a satellite
According to the author, "soft" sciences
．
A．allow for certain inaccuracy
B．focus on personal relationships
C．are based on controlled experiments
D．are rooted in data and mathematical models
What might be the best title for the passage?
A． Science, a Long History?
C． Science, Accurate or Not?
B． Science and Its Functions
D． Science and Its Application
What is the author's attitude towards science in this passage?
A． Objective． B． Sceptical． C． Disapproval．
D． Optimistic

Britain’s private schools are one of its most successful exports．The children of the well-off flock to them，whether from China，Nigeria or Russia ：the number of foreign pupils rose by 1.4％in the last year alone．
Yet foreign students，whether educated in British private schools or elsewhere，are decreasingly likely to go to English universities．According to the Higher Education Funding Council for England，307,200 overseas students began their studies in the country in 2024-13，down from 312，000 two years earlier and the first drop in 29 years．Student numbers from the rest of the European Union(EU)fell—probably a result of the increase in annual tuition fees in England from ￡6，000(＄10，000)a year to ￡9，000．But arrivals from India and Pakistan declined most sharply．
