In February, Dr. Robert Lefkowitz published a memoir (回忆录) called A Funny Thing Happened on the Way
to Stockholm: The Adrenaline-Fueled Adventures of an Accidental Scientist. As a physician and biochemist,
Lefkowitz is a professor of biochemistry and chemistry at the Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North
Carolina.
In a recent conversation via video, Lefkowitz said that he wanted his memoir to be “funny, interesting, and easy
to understand”. In the book, Lefkowitz humorously describes his Journey from a cardiologist (or a heart doctor) to
a biochemist.
Lefkowitz’s dream of becoming a doctor began when he was eight years old and growing up in the Bronx of
New York City. After his father died of a heart attack, Lefkowitz made up his mind to be a cardiologist. He earned
his medical degree at Columbia University.
Lefkowitz is no stranger to conducting experiments and making discoveries. He was awarded the 2012 Nobel
Prize for Chemistry with Brian Kobilka. The two scientists were honored for their discoveries that could help
unlock the secrets of many diseases.
When asked what played the most important role in his success, Lefkowitz mentioned about himself and he
described himself as “reasonably intelligent and creative, hardworking, and not easily disturbed”. He added that
being funny could also be very good for you and the people around you.
Before winning the Nobel Prize Lefkowitz did countless experiments, and only 1 out of 50 turned out OK.
“With difficult decisions I’ve had to make, I tend to make them with my heart rather than my head.” Lefkowitz said.
“However, I don’t mean that deciding with your heart is always right.”
第 4页/共 11页At age 78, the scientist has no plans for slowing down. “My body and mind are still working,” he said. “I want to
continue running my lab at Duke University and writing and publishing research papers.”
4. What directly motivated Lefkowitz to be a doctor?
A. His conversation with a cardiologist.
B. His father’s death from a heart attack.
C. His enthusiasm for a doctor’s memoir.
D. His poor physical health in childhood.
5 What is the key to Lefkowitz’s success in his own opinion?
A. His good teamwork. B. His family’s support.
C. His positive qualities. D. His interest in research.
6. Which of the following can best describe Lefkowitz according to the last paragraph?
A Practice makes perfect. B. Bad luck brings good luck.
C. You are never too old to work. D. Experience is the best teacher.
7. Where is the passage probably taken from?
A. A travel journal B. A play review
C. A short story D. A science magazine
C
After living, studying and traveling in Rome for over nine months, I finally flew back "across the pond" to
America. While the reunion with my friends and family was unbelievable, I began to feel the so-called "reverse (反
向的)culture shock".
Before experiencing any psychological distress(忧虑)upon re-entry, I noticed all of the obvious physical and
cultural differences between Italy and Indiana-one of which occurred in Walmart. As I walked down the seemingly
endless aisles, I was confused. When I finally found the cream cheese, I just stopped and stare. "Is it really
necessary to sell over ten different flavors of the same product?" I thought. 1 immediately recalled the small
grocery store, Carrefour, a block away from the Rome Global Gateway. While the store was small compared to
Walmart, it still sold everything I ever wanted. It seemed that Walmart is a perfect example of over-indulgence(放
纵)and materialism, two known negative qualities of American culture.
Because I struggled to communicate with the locals of Rome, who spoke very little English, I was
unexpectedly pleased to have the ability to talk to anyone once again. Personally, I have never been the type to
第 5页/共 11页strike up conversation with strangers, yet I found myself enjoying conversation with others I hadn’t met before in
public. It feels good to no longer be the "outsider" walking on eggshells so as not to offend anyone or say
something with the wrong accent or incorrect grammar.
While attending a Student Safety Summit for Notre Dame students traveling abroad, one of the speakers noted
that living in a foreign country will "change you in ways you can't even imagine yet," including the way you
interact with others, how you dress, what you eat, and how you perceive(感知)the world. Before living abroad, I
thought to myself that nothing could influence my sense of identity, let alone the way I dress! However, those
words have stuck with me, and I believe the speaker was right!
8. What puzzled the author at Walmart?
A. It was not selling a common product. B. Its cream cheese had a terrible flavor.
C. It was located very close to its competitor. D. It was unnecessarily rich in product varieties.
9. According to paragraph 2, what's the author's attitude towards American culture?
A. Proud. B. Curious. C. Unsupportive. D. Uninterested.
10. Before coming to Rome, the author was used to .
A. speaking with an accent B. not talking to strangers
C. keeping his identity secret D. correcting others’ grammar
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. How to Prepare for Culture Shock B. Keeping Your Identity During Travel
C. Dealing with Reverse Culture Shock D. How to Follow Foreign Customs as You Travel
D
Meeting people from another culture can be difficult.From the beginning,people may send the wrong signal(信号).
Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize(强调)the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree.For
example,business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust.Even with people at work,it
is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”,usually over a glass of tea,before they do any job.In many
European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at
restaurants or cafés rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures.I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech
to be a success and start a lively discussion;instead there was an uncomfortable silence.The people present just
stared at me and smiled.After getting to know their ways better,I realized that they thought I was talking too
第 6页/共 11页much.In my own culture,we express meaning mainly through words,but people there sometimes feel too many
words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe,cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German
cultures share similar values;however,Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.We think that they are
rude.In fact,this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values,and sometimes these values are quite against each
other.However,if we can understand them better,a multicultural environment(多元文化环境)will offer a wonderful
chance for us to learn from each other.
12. In some countries,eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to .
A. develop closer relations B. share the same culture
C. get to know each other D. keep each other company
13. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that .
A. the English prefer to make long speeches
B. too many words are of no use
C. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
D. even talk and silence can be culturally different
14. According to the text,how can people from different cultures understand each other better?
A. By sharing different ways of life.
B. By accepting different habits.
C. By recognizing different values.
D. By speaking each other’s languages.
15. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Multicultural Environment
B. Cross-Cultural Differences
C. How to Understand Each Other
D. How to Build Up a Relationship

down on sugar.

by another name, like high fructose(果糖).
Try to reset the diet

is truly shocking.___20___. The next time you’re making a big shopping trip at the grocery store, stop to read the
ingredient label of every single thing you buy. Watch out for keywords that are used to cover up sugar and watch
how much sugar you’ve been eating without even realizing it.

C. Sugar is hard to avoid,but it can be done

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up in a poor family with six brothers, three sisters, my father and mother. We had little money and few
第 10页/共 11页goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person
was, he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics. By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit
anything moving on the football field. And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not
only believed in me, but often told me “Dream is priceless”. However, when I was about to get off the ground, one
particular incident happened, which almost ruined my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in senior two and a friend recommended me for a summer job. I was offered $
12.25 per hour. Compared with the average $3.5, that was a big sum. I was so excited, because this meant a chance
for money in my pocket, certainly money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for
my mother. The prospect(前景)of the job was inviting, and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule. I didn't dare to
tell my coach, I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage, "If you make your bed, you
have to lie in it." I decided to talk to my coach in person. After all, my dream of buying my mom a house and
having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 字左右。
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I gathered my courage and knocked at his door.
