三、阅读理解
18. 40 years ago, the community of Seneca Falls, New York, decided to create a hall of fame for women. The town was the birthplace of the women' s rights movement.
In 1848, 300 women and men gathered in Seneca Falls for the first Women' s Rights Convention. Among them were feminist leaders Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott.
The delegates passed a declaration calling for voting rights for women, among other demands. 72 years later the nineteenth amendment to the United States Constitution gave women the right to vote.
In 1969, the people of Seneca Falls wanted to honor the women who took part in the struggle. So they established the National Women' s Hall of Fame. 10 years later, the
group raised enough money to buy a historic bank building to house the Hall of Fame.
There are more than two hundred-women in the National Women' s Hall of Fame today. They include teachers, doctors, artists and athletes. There are also pilots, social activists, comedians, politicians, poets and builders.
The National Women' s Hall of Fame announced ten new members on March second to honor National Women' s History Month, who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in October this year.
One of them is Louise Bourgeois, a 97 years old artist in New York City, whose best known works are huge sculptures of spiders. Her art has been exhibited in major museum collections around the world.
Another new member of the Hall of Fame has been fighting to help victims of abuse for more than 30 years. Growing up in a violent home, Susan Kelly-Dreiss started her career
by helping to set up a shelter for abused women. Later she helped gain passage of the first law against domestic violence in the state of Pennsylvania. Now, Susan Kelly-Dreiss
works on the issue at the national level.
Susan Solomon is an international leader in atmospheric science. She developed the theory explaining how and why the ozone (臭氧) hole happens over Antarctica. She also got some of the first chemical measurements that showed man-made chlorofluorocarbons ( 氯氟化碳) caused the hole. Susan Solomon served as one of the leaders of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This group shared the Nobel Peace Prize with former American Vice-President Al Gore in 2007.
Other new members include Emma Lazarus, the great 19th century Jewish poet. Her famous poem is on the base of the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. Scientist Mildred Cohen, whose biological research has won many awards including a National Medal of Science, will also be inducted into the National Women' s Hall of Fame.

19. Life’s greatest moments often happen when they’re least expected. For the average person, that may be when your friends throw you a surprise party or someone else covers your dinner bill. This has also proven to be true in the fields of science and medicine. Now, we can add another monumental find to thi s list: a new treatment for Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症).
Researchers at Lancaster University were studying a new medication that was created to treat type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) when they realized that it also “significantly turn memory loss for better.” The drug has only been used on mice so far, but after taking it, the animals exhibited improved learning and memory formation in a maze(迷宫)text. Scientists also noticed a decrease in symptoms in the brain that has been linked to Alzheimer’s, as well as a slowe r rate of never cell loss. Lead researcher Professor Christian Holscher said in the press release that this treatment “ holds clear promise of being developed into a new treatment for Alzheimer’s
disease.”
Previous studies have suggested that type 2 diabet es is a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease because it can damage blood vessels(血管) and potentially reduce or block blood flow to the brain. Additionally, insulin desensitization can result from both conditions.
“With no new treatments in nearly 15 years,we need to find new ways of treating Alzheimer’s,” Dr. Doug Brown, Director of Research and Development at Alzheimer’s Society, said in a press release. “This approach to research could make it much quicker to get promising new drugs to the people who nee d them.”
32. The researchers came to the new treatment when they were .
A. having a surprise party
B. covering a dinner bill
C. studying Alzheimer’s
D. studying type 2 diabetes
33. What does the maze test show?
A. The mice have a good memory.
B. Alzheimer’s disease is cured.
C. The drug benefits the mice’s memory.
D. Alzheimer’s slows down nerve cell loss.
34. What does the underline phrase “insulin desensitization” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. A disease.
B. A blood vessel.
C. A treatment.
D. A medicine.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Scientists have found former treatments useless,
B. New drugs for Alzheimer’s are around the corner.
C. It took scientists 15 years to find the new treatment.
D. The group promise to give the drug to people for free.
