1. 应用文范文
Last week our school held a “Psychological Health Week” campaign on our campus, with the theme “how to
relieve mental pressure.” The aim of the campaign is to help the Senior students deal with the great pressure due
to the fierce competition in study.
There were various kinds of activities. A lecture, given by a psychological professor on what to do with the
pressure, provided students with professional guidance. There was also an excellent drama performance.
Additionally, some fun games were played among the students. The activities were warmly welcomed and
enjoyed by students as well as teachers. Most students think the campaign is beneficial for them to relieve
pressure and could help them to study more efficiently.

Suddenly he had an idea. He dashed into his room, and took out a pencil and a piece of blank paper from
his desk. Then he began to write carefully, with his eyes sparkling. After he finished writing, he copied it neatly,
and got another envelope from his dad. He put the letter into the envelope with great care and thought his mom
would love the present. A smile of satisfaction flashed across his face. He rose from his chair, stretched himself,
and went to bed happily.
The next morning, Jim handed his present to his mom. Seeing the present, her face brightened up. “I
hope you will like it, mom,” Jim looked at his mom eagerly. His mom gave him a big smile, “Thank you, my dear!
Whatever it is, I will like it.” Then she took out the letter, reading, “Dear mom, thank you for making me meals and
dessert, telling me stories and giving me hugs. Thank you for everything. I love you!” Mom hugged Jim tightly,
“Thank you, my son. I love you, too. This is the best present I have ever received.”

The Fields Medal is awarded to recognize outstanding mathematical achievements for existing
work and for the promise of future achievements. Out of a total of about 60 people, only one woman
ever managed to receive these highest honors for impressive new mathematical discoveries.
Now a second woman has received this highest mathematical award: the 37-year-old Ukrainian
Maryna Viazovska, holder of the Chair for Number Theory at the Swiss EPFL.
She was rewarded for solving a problem that can be explained quite clearly at first sight: It is
the so-called sphere-packing(球堆积) problem that had appealed to mathematicians for more than
four centuries: how to pack spheres like oranges as tightly as possible (using the smallest volume)
Viazovska was born on Dee.2, 1984, in Kyiv, Ukraine. ‘‘I’ve liked mathematics since my
schooldays,’’ she says. ‘‘It always seemed like the most uncomplicated subject. And since I liked it,
I spent more time on it, and eventually became better at math than other subjects. So then I liked it
even more, and so on.’’
After earning her Bachelor’s degree at the National Taras Shevchenko University in Kyiv,
Viazovska went to Germany to earn a Master’ s degree at the Technical University of Kaiserslautem
(2007) before moving to the University of Bonn, where she completed her doctor degree on modular
forms (模式研究) in 2013.
During her postdoctoral research at the Berlin Mathematical School and the Humboldt
University of Berlin, Viazovska solved the sphere packing problem in 8 and 24 dimensions. Then,
in December 2016, she accepted an offer from EPFL to become a lifelong assistant professor. Just
one year later, at the age of 33, she was promoted to full professor.
What drives Viazovska is solving problems, which she describes as ‘doing a jigsaw puzzle’ ,
and understanding abstract(抽象的) concepts ‘so I can link them to other problems and find
practical applications.’
24. What can we learn from the passage
A. Viazovska has received the Fields Medal twice for her great mathematical achievements.
B. The same number of outstanding male and female mathematicians won the Fields Medal.
C. The sphere-packing problem has attracted mathematicians’ attention at the present time.
D. Viazovska’s mathematical achievements are largely out of her enthusiasm and devotion.
25. From Viazovska’s words in Para. 4, we can infer that ______.
A. Experience is knowledge. B. Strike while the iron is hot.
C. All roads lead to Rome. D. Interest is the seed.
26. In which order did the following things happen in Viazovska’s life
a. She received this highest mathematical award.
b. She became a lifelong assistant professor.
c. She moved to the University of Bonn and completed her doctorate on modular forms.
d. She earned her Bachelor’s degree at the National Taras Shevchenko University.
e. She solved the sphere packing problem in specific dimensions.
A. dbcea B. cdeba C. dceba D. cbdea
27. How does Viazovska describe ‘solving math problems’
A. By comparison. B. By listing. C. By example. D. By questioning.

C
Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing
fixed about attitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease,
as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in.
A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath
houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus it began a long time when the rich
and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously
dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of
disease, the nobleman should not go out.
Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice
neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health.
Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that
standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly
sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate
for dirt, however, gone too far
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn
their children of touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary,
Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to
build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.
28. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because________.
A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.
B. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in
C. they believed disease could be spread in public baths
D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease
29. Which of the following best describes Henry IV’ s attitude to bathing
A. Uninterested B. Curious C. Approving D. Afraid
30. What does the underlined word “merit” in paragraph 3 mean
A. effect B. advantage C. damage D. attitude
31. What is the author’ s purpose in writing the passage
A. To stress the role of dirt. B. To introduce the history of dirt.
C. To present the change of views on dirt. D. To call attention to the danger of dirt.

D
Chimps live in a male-dominated society, where most of their valuable partners are other males.
However, as young male chimps become adults, they continue to maintain tight bonds with their
mothers, a new study finds.
‘‘The dramatic changes of adolescence are difficult for chimps, just like they are for humans,’’
says Elizabeth Lonsdorf, an expert on primates(灵长动物) at Franklin&Marshall College who was
not involved in the study. “Sure enough,” she adds, “their moms remain a key social partner during
this time.”
Previous research has shown chimp mothers provide their sons with support that goes far
beyond nursing. Young male chimps that are close with their moms grow bigger and have a greater
chance of survival. What’s more, losing their mothers after weaning(断奶), but before age 12，gets
in the way of the ability of young chimps to win other males and reproduce.
To see whether this bond extends later into life, researchers followed 29 adolescent (9 to 15
years old) and young adult (16 to 20 years old) male chimps at a research site in Kibale National
Park in Uganda and observed them from a distance for 3 years. The team found that the young adult
males spent less time with their mothers than the adolescents did- 26% vs. 76%. As the male chimps
grew older and more independent, they began to travel over wider ranges and spent more time away
from their moms.
However, when these young adult males happened to be in the company of their mothers, they
acted just like the adolescents. They groomed(梳理) their moms just as often and kept track of them.
“Many mothers remained the males’ ‘best friends’ or ‘social partners’ they associated with most
frequently,” says study co-leader Rachna Reddy from Harvard University.
Such persistent ties are also common in humans after sons leave their mothers and live on their
own-especially in tough times, Reddy says. “We really feel what it’s like to not be able to see our
mothers when we want to in tough times. The importance of those bonds in our lives and the comfort
we get from them have deep evolutionary roots.”
32.What do we know about Elizabeth Lonsdorf
A. She is in favor of the new study’s finding.
B. She played a supporting role in the new study.
C. She did a different study on chimps’ adolescence before.
D. She thinks chimps actually live in a female-dominated society.
33. What may happen when a male chimp loses its mother at 8
A. It may be easier for it to produce babies.
B. It may be easier for it to interact with other chimps.
C. It may be tough for it to defeat other males.
D. It may be much more aggressive than other males.
34. What did the researchers probably do during their study
A. They took care of some motherless chimps.
B. They recorded the chimps’ social interaction.
C. They worked hard to win the chimps’ trust.
D. They limited the chimps’ range of movement.
35. What does Reddy aim to do in the last paragraph
A. To stress the purpose of the study. B. To improve humans’ mother-son relationship.
C. To call on us to protect chimps. D. To emphasize the significance of the study.

Jim slumped on the couch. Mother’s Day was coming up, and he didn’t have a present. “How
can I buy a present without money ” he thought.
Jim picked up the newspaper that was lying on the couch. He noticed a large advertisement on
the front page. The local department store was sponsoring a contest. “Tell us why your mom is
special and win a shopping spree(疯狂购物) for her,” said the ad.
“This is perfect!” thought Jim. He ran to his room with the newspaper, taking a pencil and a
blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write.
“My mom is the best mother in the world. She always makes a lunch for me to take to school,
and she never forgets my dessert. She reads as many books to me before bed as I want. She always
remembers to check under the bed for monsters. And she gives the best hug, but never in front of
my friends, who would laugh at me for hugging my mom.”
Jim liked what he had written. He copied it neatly and got an envelope and a stamp from his
dad. He ran to the mailbox with his entry(参赛作品), “Mom will love having a shopping spree,” he
thought.
Jim checked the mailbox every day for his prize. Days passed by, and then weeks. Soon it was
the day before Mother’s Day. Jim still hadn’t heard anything about the contest.
“What am I going to do now ” he wondered. He didn’t have a present, and he didn’t have a
shopping spree, and he still didn’t have any money. He had to think of something. Jim closed his
eyes and curled his toes and thought so hard that his ears hurt.
