AHere are some well-known female scientists and their work.● Chien-Shiung Wu (1912—1997)She was a Chinese American experimental physicist known for her work in radioactivity. She was a part of the Manhattan project where she helped develop the process of making U- 235 and U-238 from uranium (铀). She was a winner of the first Wolf Prize in Physics and was recognized as the Chinese Madam Curie.● Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin (1910—1994)She was a British chemist who worked in the field of protein crystallography (蛋白质结晶学). She played a key role in determining the structure of penicillin and vitamin B12. This work earned her a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Enthusiastic and peace-loving by nature, she’s one of the most notable scientists in the field of X-ray crystallography.● Henrietta Swan Leavitt (1868—1921)She was an American astronomer who began working at the Harvard College Observatory as a student “computer” to record the brightness of stars. She was among the first few to note that variable stars followed a pattern. She inferred that the brighter ones have longer periods. This relationship proved to be helpful to measure distances in the Universe. The Leavitt crater (环形山) on the Moon was named in her honor.● Rachel Louise Carson (1907—1964)She was an American oceanic biologist who won many awards. She became a nature writer in the 1950s. Her book Silent Spring published in 1962 spoke about the harm that synthetic pesticides (合成农药) caused to the environment. Although chemical industries opposed the writing, it led to the start of a ban on pesticides in the country. Her writing inspiredthe creation of the US Environmental Protection Agency.21. What is Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin famous for?A. Her big achievements in chemistry.B. Her inventing two kinds of medicine.C. Her unusual educational background.D. Her similar efforts like Madam Curie.22. According to the text, Henrietta Swan Leavitt .A. was the first to find the similarity of starsB. participated in astronomic field as a studentC. created a pattern to measure distances in spaceD. named a crater on the moon after her own name23.

Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin.BBeck was a young skilled artist and lived a simple and peaceful life with his wife and two lovely sons. One night, his elder son developed a severe stomachache. Thinking he was only suffering from some common intestinal (肠内的) disorder, neither Beck nor his wife took it very seriously. But the boy died suddenly that night.Knowing the death could have been avoided if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, Beck always felt guilty. To make matters worse, his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Beck could stand, and he turned to alcohol for help. In no time Beck became an alcoholic.As the alcoholism progressed, Beck began to lose everything he possessed—his land, house, etc. Finally Beck died in a small bar. Hearing of Beck’s death, I thought, “What a totally wasted life! What a complete failure!”As time went by, I began to revalue my earlier rough judgme nt. I knew Beck’s now adult son, Ernie. He was one of the kindest and most caring men I had ever known. I saw the love between Ernie and his children, thinking that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.I hadn’t heard Ernie talk much about his fa ther. One day, I gathered up my courage to ask him what on earth his father had done so that he became such a special person. Ernie said quietly, “As a child until I left home at 18, Beck came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said ‘love you, son’.”Tears came to my eyes as I realized that I had been a fool to judge Beck as a failure.24.

The reason why Ernie was kind and caring.27. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To tell a sorrowful story.B. To prove the value of family.C. To show a father’s deep love.D. To warn people of stomachache.CUS scientists say they have poured cold water on the theory that washing hands with hot water kills more germs (细菌) than unheated water. The small study of 20 people found using water at 15℃ left hands as clean as water heated to 38℃.National Health Service (NHS) recommends that people wash their hands in either cold or warm water. In this study, scientists at Rutgers University-New Brunswick wanted to find out if popular assumptions about the benefits of warm or hot water and official guidanceon hot water—given to the food industry in the US—held true. They asked 20 people to wash their hands 20 times each with water that was 15℃, 26℃ or 38℃. Volunteers were also asked to experiment with varying amounts of soap. Before they started the tests, their hands were covered in harmless germ. Researchers say there was no difference in the amount of germ removed as the temperature of the water or the amount of soap changed.Prof Donald Schaffner said, “People need to feel comfortable when they are washing their hands but as far as effectiveness goes, this study shows us that the temperature of the water used did not matter.”However, the researchers accept their study is small and say more abundant work is needed to determine the best ways to remove harmful bacteria.In the UK, NHS experts say people can use cold or hot water to wash their hands. They say hands should be washed for at least 20 seconds and stress the importance of using enough soap to cover the whole surface of the hands. Their guidance focuses on rubbing hands together in various ways to make sure each surface of each hand is clean.28. What does the underlined phrase “poured cold water on” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. ProvedB. CreatedC. ContradictedD. Accepted29. After they washed their hands with either hot or cold water, .A. volunteers all talked about American food industryB. volunteers nearly had the same amount of germ removedC. volunteers still had much germ on their handsD. volunteers all didn’t feel very comfortable30. How does researchers feel about their study?A. It is incomplete.B. It is popular.C. It is convincing.D. It is abstract.31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Using Cold Water Instead of Hot WaterB. How to Use Cold Water to Wash HandsC. It Is Better to Wash Hands in Cold WaterD. Washing Hands in Cold Water as Good as HotDIn a time where power-banks and solar-power devices (设备) have become mainstream, a device that lets you charge gadgets (小物件) as you wish doesn’t sound very special. But while power-banks have to be charged the old way, and solar batteries need the sun to store energy, HandEnergy just needs a hand.The working principle behind HandEnergy is that of a two-axis rotor gyroscope (双轴转子陀螺仪). “You may be familiar with the wrist-training device called the Powerball, which is a powerful handheld gyroscope,” HandEnergy co-founder Alex Novik told Digital Trends. “We came up with the idea of putting a battery, metal coil (线圈) and magnets (磁铁) inside a similar device for making electricity. We spent a year developing it, and finally arrived at one we were happy with.”To use HandEnergy, users start by winding a starter ring. This sends a signal to drive the rotor, at which point they can start rotating (旋转) their wrists to keep the rotor spinning. The rotor inside HandEnergy spins at an average speed of 5,000 rotations per minute, conveying mechanical power to create electricity, and charging the built-in batteries. To charge a device, just hook it up to HandEnergy using a USB data line.“We don’t necessarily think this will be something you use every day, because it takes around on e hour to reach full charge,” Novik says. “But it’s small enough to fit in your pocket, and you can use it anywhere.”Actually, HandEnergy charges smartphones at the same speed as a power outlet (插座). The battery only has a capacity of 1,000 mAh, so it won’t charge your phone completely at a time, but it can surely keep it running for a while longer when you really need it. Plus, it uses clean, unlimited energy.HandEnergy will be available for the masses in December 2017, at a price of 99 Euros. One thing is for sure—it beats paying thousands of dollars on a solar-powered battery-charging coat.32. Why is HandEnergy considered to be special?A. It’s able to charge a gadget anytime anywhere.B. It produces clean energy on an unlimited basis.C. It charges a gadget with users’ personal energy.D. It’s so small that you can carry it with yourself.33. The Powerball is mentioned in Paragraph 2 just in order to show .A. how HandEnergy is producedB. what HandEnergy looks likeC. what HandEnergy can doD. how HandEnergy works34. What is the disadvantage of HandEnergy?A. It is difficult to create it.B. It takes longer to charge it.C. It can be used only once.D. It produces too little energy.35. What is the author’s attitude towards HandEnergy?A. Supportive.B. Disapproving.C. Doubtful.D. Unconcerned.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。
