27、gram（SIMR）, and spending approximately 170 hours of the past month studying human embryonic stem cells（hESCs）（人 胚胎干细胞），I was back to square on-with only one month of my internship（实习）left. How in the world was I going to make up for lost time?As I asked myself the question, I thought back to exactly

28、 how I had spent those 170 hours working to develop the stem cells. I started my internship a little overwhelmed by the complex equipment in the lab. After I familiarized myself with the equipment, I began to find the function of PRDMI-a gene thought to control replication（复制）in hESCs. First，though，

29、I needed to make a growth medium（培 养基）for the hESCs. I painstakingly measured to the ten millionth of a liter，testing the accuracy of each measurement multiple times before finally putting it into the medium solution. After I plated the hESCs on my new medium, I waited with bated breath for the resu

30、lts. To my joy, two days later, my cells were growing very well and even outgrowing their new home. I successfully created hundreds of stable hESCs. Everything seemed to be going so well.

CAs people travelling by air become increasingly aware of their carbon footprint, flying has become not only one of the most polluting industries, but also one with the most potential to turn things around.

36、After Solar Impulse 2 completed the worlds first flight by a solar-powered aircraft in 2016, airlines and aircraft producers looked to become the first to provide a commercial plane. Bertrand Piccard, one of the pilots responsible for Solar Impulse 2s journey said, “All the clean technologies weve a

37、lready had can be used everywhere. We have to use them, not only for the environment, but also because they are profitable and able to create jobs. The following year saw many projects in the aviation（航空）field as the airline industry acknowledged the future of low-carbon transportation methods. In 2

38、017, Zunum Aero, a small aviation company which focused on delivering a range of hybrid-electric （混合电动的）planes received financial aid from JetBlue and Boeing, whist EasyJet teamed up with Wright Electric to develop battery-powered aircraft and NASA also announced its plans to develop its own electri

39、c aircraft. Orkney Islands, lying about 20 miles north of the Scottish mainland, are rich in renewable resources, especially the wind energy. Loganair, a Scottish airline, is cooperating with aviation companies to make Orkney the worlds first fully electric airline routes. However, this is never eas

40、y. Due to the limited size and weight of a battery that an airplane can carry, airplane producers are faced with a bottleneck-the continued power supply for electric airplanes. They believe the abundant wind energy in Orkney could be the key to solving it. The benefits of electric air travel transce

41、nd its low-carbon emissions. Aviation experts believe these aircrafts power source will also mean they will be less noisy, smaller, require less maintenance costs, and need a shorter runway to take off and land-this could lead to more airports in small cities and more rural areas being connected to

42、the world at large. 46. What did Bertrand want to convey in his words?A. The future of aircraft pilots. B. The success of Solar Impulse 2. C. The convenience of commercial planes. D.

45、des its green footprint?A. Making plane tickets cheaper. B. Making the flying time shorter. C. Making the world more connected. D. Making the plane maintenance easier. DIndustry and educators all agree that the world needs creativity. There is interest in the field, lots of urging but very little ac

46、tion. Everyone is a bit scared of what to do next. On the question of creativity and imagination, they are mostly uncreative and unimaginative. Educators seek artificial ways to change imaginative activity into problem-solving models that end up compromising the very creativity they celebrate. Creat

47、ivity is often reduced to problem-solving. To be exact, you need imagination to solve many problems and creativity is part of what it takes. But problem-solving is far from the whole of creativity; and if you only focus creative thinking on problems and solutions, you will fall into a trap. For teac

48、hing purposes, problems are an anxious place to cultivate creativity. If you think of anyone coming up with an idea- a new song, a dance step or a joke, it isnt necessarily about a problem but rather an opportunity for the mind to exercise its independence. This is the purpose behind the theory of s

49、cholars now called Big C Creativity, which is the breakthrough kind of thinking that benefits culture or science, such as Mozarts Alla Turca and Einsteins theory of relativity. But the same is true of everyday Small C Creativity that isnt specifically problem-based. Enjoying the independence of the

50、mind is the basis for naturally imaginative activity, like humor or amusing answers. Our contemporary education systematically damages creativity and unintentionally punishes students for exercising their imagination. Schools use grades to evaluate students, which is a passive attack to the imaginat

51、ion. It might be indeed impossible to teach creativity but the least we can do for our students is to make school a safe place for imagination. My viewpoint is that learning outcomes are only good for uncreative study. For education to cultivate creativity and imagination, we need to stop asking stu

52、dents anxiously to follow demonstrable （可论证的）proofs learning which cause a burden to students imagination. 51. What can be learned from the first paragraph? A. Educators are uncreative in teaching. B. The world has lost interest in creativity. C. People fail to do much to become creative. D. Educato

53、rs have got down to cultivating creative students. 52. Whats the authors attitude to educators changing creativity into problem-solving mnodels?A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Neutral. D. Disapproving. 53. Which of the following is a Big C Creativity?A. Mike finds a way to solve a math problem. B. T

54、om makes a discovery in the Biology field. C. Darwin answers a question humorously. D. Mary learns to sing a new song. 54. According to the author, what can be done to help cultivate students creativity?A. Encouraging students to get rid of fixed rules of learning. B. Helping students to obtain bett

55、er learning outcomes. C. Starting more classes to teach students creativity. D. Providing students with a safe place to study. 55. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Why does the world need creativity?B. Why is it impossible to teach creativity?C. How can we solve problems more creatively?

56、D. How can educators build better schools for students?第II卷 （共35分）第三部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：阅读表达（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。My neighbor Josie was a good cook and college professor.
