She often beats her rivals by tens of seconds, breaking records. Her success is based on three things. One is natural talent. Another is relentless training. And the third is biology. Although she identifies as a woman, Ms Thomas was born male.On the eve of her biggest competition, Ms Thomas finds herself at the centre of the bad-tempered debate about whether trans women—males who identify as women-should compete in women's sports. That, in turn, is part of a broader argument: should biological facts sometimes override people's deeply held feelings about their identities? This newspaper believes it is almost always unfair to allow transgender women to compete in women's sports. The advantages bestowed by male puberty (青春期) are so big that no amount of training or talent can enable female athletes to overcome them.Florence Griffith Joyner's 100-metres world sprinting record has stood for three decades.A male matching it would not even make it to the Olympics, let alone the final. Much of the male advantage is granted by testosterone (睾酮, 睾丸素) , a powerful anabolic steroid (合成类胆固醇) whose levels rise sharply in male puberty. For many years many sporting bodies, following the lead of the International Olympic Committee, hoped to cope with the issue by allowing trans-women to compete in women's events provided they took testosterone-testosterone in adults, it seems, does little to undo the advantages granted by a male adolescence.Sports must therefore choose between inclusion and fairness;and they should choose fair play. That does not mean that trans-women would be barred from all sport. One way to make that clear would be to replace the "men's" and "women's" categories with "open" and "female" ones.

Scientists at the vacuum chamber have made similar dust particles (颗粒) with similar features to those on the moon. These elements together produce a chamber which can test materials and items in simulated lunar conditions.The facility was developed by the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) , based in the city of Harbin in Heilongjiang province in northeast China. "The comprehensive lunar surface simulator, which can simulate many environments which are very close to the real state on the moon, helps us understand the lunar dust formation process in such an environment and its effects on spacecraft, spacesuits and astronauts and prepare us for acrewed moon landing in the future" said Li Liyi, dean (院长) of the HIT's Institute of Space Environment and Material Science. "At the experiment chamber, we can simulate six major kinds of environmental factors. It is an experiment facility that can simulate the most environmental factors and has the comprehensive performance most similar to the real space environment in the world, "Li added.A leading Chinese lunar scientist said that China is working to land astronauts on the moon before 2030.The country is actively working on the hardware needed for the mission, including a new launch vehicle, a new generation spacecraft for crew and a lunar lander.A representative from the China Aerospace Scienceand Technology Corporation, the country's main space contractor, presented an animated film earlier this year giving an impression of what the future Chinese crewed lunar landing might look like.12.Why do Chinese scientists design a vacuum chamber to simulate the conditions on the surface of the moon?A.It can test ultraviolet rays on the moon.B.The low-voltage electrical charge can be beneficialC.It can help prepare the country for future lunar exploration.D.It is close to the real environment on the moon13.What can we infer from what Li Liyi said in the passage?A.Lunar dust is a big challenge for crewed moon landingB.The new facility can simulate all environments on the moonC.The facility can generate the real space environment in the worldD.The chamber can make the future lunar exploration successful14.What is the author's purpose to write this passage?A.To indicate the difficulties of crewed moon landingB.To introduce China's newly-built vacuum chamberC.To describe the real environment on the moonD.To introduce China's crewed moon landing project15.which application of the lunar surface simulator is not mentioned below?A.understand its impacts on spacecraftB.prepare us for a crewed moon landingC.help us have a better understanding of the dust formation processD.help us to design flying dust二、七选五16.As technology continues to advance, the way we work will continue to develop.

Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She was known aroundthe world for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.Her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women. But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She was an expert at the language of poetry. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago. The South Side of Chicago is where many back people live. In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville. It was A Street in Bronzeville that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945. Critics praised her poetic skill and her powerful descriptions of the black experience during the time. The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. She won the prize for her second book of poems called Annie Allen. Annie Allen is a collection of poetry about the life of a Bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and mother. She experiences loneliness, loss, death and being poor. Ms. Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called Maud Martha, Maud Martha received little notice when it was first published. But now it is considered an important work by some critics. Its main ideas about the difficult life of many women are popular among female writers today.In some of her poems, Gwendolyn Brooks described how what people see in life is affected by who they are. One example is this poem, Corners on the Curing Sky.By the end of the 1960s, Gwendolyn Brooks's poetry expanded from the everyday experiences of people in Bronzeville.

Luckily, this coffee-brewing alarm clock could make those few struggling minutes practically disappear.An alarm clock that brews a fresh pot of coffee as soon as you wake up actually exists, and you can buy it right now. Thanks to the Barisieur, your morning time will never be the same.Here’s how it works: Before you go to bed, fill the glass container with water and pour ground coffee into the filter (过滤器). Not a black coffee drinker?Not to worry --- special drawers keep your cream cold and store your sugar, too.Then, just set your alarm and go to sleep. This machine will take care of the rest.A few minutes before your alarm goes off next morning, the Barisieur will begin to brew your coffee. And voila! A hot cup of coffee is waiting for you when your alarm rings and you open your eyes. You won’t even have to leave your bed.London designer Joshua Renouf designed this invention himself, raising over$500,000 through donations on IndieGoGo. Coffee lovers should act fast and put in a pre-order on the website now, paying just $300. Otherwise, you have to wait until it hits stores and pay $420.Owning one of these clocks will be totally worth it. Nothing says “seize the day” quite like waking up to a pot of freshly brewed coffee, after all. Also, the machine isn’t limited to making coffee only in the morning. You can go out and return home with a hot cup of coffee waiting for you.28. Why does the author mention the struggle?A. To show making coffee is challenging.B. To show coffee can make us feel better.C. To show the coffee-brewing alarm clock is great.D. To show it is difficult to get up early in the morning.29.

To recommend a special kind of alarm clock.D. To compare traditional alarm clocks and new ones.DAsk any readers who their favorite fictional character in a novel is and you’ll likely get a detailed explanation about the beloved character that they admire. It might even sound like they’re talking about a person they know.In a study, researchers looked at the brains of a group of people over nine days.Half of the group read the novel Pompeii, and half didn’t. After examining, re searchers found the readers’ brains showed heightened connectivity (连通性) in some areas. This is likely because the brain imagines the movement and emotions of the character they read about in the book. Even though the participants were then asked not to read the novel, they kept this heightened connectivity. We call that a “shadow activity”, almost like a muscle memory. So even after you’ve finished a book, your brain keeps those benefits for some time afterwards.It has been suggested that people who read a lot of fiction become more empathic (移情作用的), because fiction is a simulation (模仿) of social experiences, in which people practice and improve their interpersonal skills. The people who not only read fiction, but felt a high level of “emotional transportation” while reading --- as compared to people who weren’t taken by the story or who read non-fiction---displayed higher levels of empathy when tested. Increase of empathy is important for people because empathy is positively related to creativity, performance at work and cooperative behaviors.Besides, reading improves “Theory of Mind”. It is “the ability to understand that others have mental states that are different from one’s own.” Of various activities, reading novels has been found to improve this ability, while watching television programs or movies has been found to do just the opposite --- a reduced understanding of others and weaker cognitive (认知的) development overall.Maybe we should put more of a priority on novel-reading. And many readers believe that reading a novel is far better and more meaningful than watching any movie. As David Kidd of the New School study said, “Fiction is not just a simulator of a social experience; it is a social experience.”32. What is implied in the Paragraph 2?A. Reading novels is just a waste of time.B. Reading novels can help people become happy.C. Reading novels increases connectivity in our brain.D. Reading novels helps enhance our memory greatly.33. What do we know about novel readers from Paragraph 3?A. They tend to be emotional in social experiences.B. They understand the emotions of people better.C. They like to talk about their favorite characters.D. They are more sensitive to everything.34. What’s the effect of watching TV or movies?A. It distinguishes your views from those of others.B. It contributes to your cognitive development.C. It reduces your empathy for others a lot.D. It changes your overall mental states.35. What does the underlined word “priority” in the last paragraph mean?A. Preference.B. Authority.C. Exposure.D. Evaluation.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
