There is no doubt that women have come a long way in many different fields including music. Here we will take a look at some women in music who have contributed their talents to help shape music history. Nadia Boulanger Nadia Boulanger was a respected teacher of musical composition, an organist, and conductor of the 20th century. In 1937, she became the first woman to conduct a program in its entirety with London’s Royal orchestra. She taught privately, too, maintaining what is known among her students as the “Wednesday sessions”. Patsy Cline Patsy Cline was only 30 years old and at the height of her career when she tragically died in a plane crash. Her life may have been cut short, but her memory lives on through her music. With timeless songs like I Fall to Pieces, Crazy and She’s Got You, Patsy remains one of country music’s unforgettable vocalists. Ruth Etting Ruth Etting was a singer during the 1920s and 30s who earned the title “America’s Sweetheart of Song”. She recorded several songs, appeared on Broadway musicals, and in motion pictures. Her songs include Ten Cents A Dance and Love Me Or Leave Me. Connie Francis The road to success didn’t come easy for Connie Francis. At the beginning of her career, she recorded and released several singles that went unnoticed. It was her 1958 hit song titled Who’s Sorry Now that led her to stardom. Today, she is considered one of the world’s most legendary and skilled singers. Beverly Sills Beverly Sills left her mark not only in history but also in the hearts of the many people she touched.

September 8, 2017, was an exciting date for Katey Walter Anthony. On this cool, windless evening she first visited Alaska’s Lake Esieh. Few people visit this remote area of wilderness, covered by frozen ground with spruce trees. Thousands of lakes dot the region. But Walter Anthony quickly realized that this lake was strange. As her boat moved across it, she came to a place where the water seemed to be boiling. The water wasn’t warm. Bubbles of all sizes streamed up, popping at the surface. One bubble, as large as a softball, gave off a loud sound as it burst. The bubbles, which rose with such force that they slowly pushed her boat to the side, covered a part of the lake larger than a football field. Walter Anthony leaned over the edge of the boat and collected some bubbles in a bottle. Then she struck a match and opened the bottle to release the gas she had just collected. The gas caught fire! The fire dancing over the bottle confirmed her belief. It showed that the lake was flowing out a gas called methane. Each molecule(CH4) contains one atom of carbon bonded to four atoms of hydrogen. As a strong greenhouse gas, it can absorb radiation from the sun, warming the atmosphere. Methane, along with carbon dioxide, is a major source of global warming. Scientists believe that the Arctic could release large amounts of methane over the next 100 years. Some of them worry that this methane will cause the world to warm more quickly than they had predicted. Walter Anthony has spent nearly 20 years trying to understand this threat. She is trying to measure how much methane is coming out of warming Arctic lakes. And to her, Lake Esieh could be a warning. If other lakes respond the same way, the Arctic could be poised to flow out far more methane than anyone had expected. “We don’t even know how much gas is down there,” she says. “It’s a wild card.” 【1】Why is Lake Esieh considered strange? A. The water there is boiling. B. It is located in a remote area. C. Bubbles there give off a loud sound. D. It is flowing out a gas that can catch fire. 【2】What effect does the gas from the lake have on the environment? A. It warms the water of the Arctic lakes. B. It pollutes the fresh air in the Arctic. C. It takes in the sunlight and holds the Arctic ice. D. It absorbs carbon dioxide and gives off oxygen. 【3】How does Walter Anthony feel about the gas methane? A. It is amusing. B. It is beneficial. C. It is a blessing. D. It is a threat. 【4】Where might this text come from? A. A science fiction. B. A tourist brochure. C. A science report. D. A geography textbook. |

Though the Haskell Free Library and Opera House might not be as well-known as the Grand Canyon, it’s undoubtedly one of America’s most unique tourist attractions. Completed in 1904, the building is stationed directly between Stanstead, Quebec, and Derby Line, Vermont, with the official U.S.-Canada borderline running right across the library’s floor. Martha Stewart Haskell and her son, Colonel Horace Stewart Haskell, both Canadians, built the building as respect to Mrs. Haskell’s late husband, Carlos. The family hoped that citizens from both countries would use it as a “center for learning and cultural enrichment”, according to the official Haskell Free Library website. The Haskell is divided between the two countries. While the library’s official entrance is on the U.S. side of the building, most of the books are on the Canadian side. The opera house is similarly split, with most of its seats in the U.S. and its stage in Canada. As Atlas Obscura reported, it is often said that the Haskell is the only library in the U.S. with no books, and the only opera house in the country with no stage. Passports and other forms of identification aren’t required to cross from country to country in the library, though the Haskell’s website notes that the border inside the building “is real and it is enforced”. Visitors are expected to return to their side of the border after a visit. If they don’t, they risk possible detention and fines. Even beyond the building’s unique position, library director Nancy Rumery told CTV News that Haskell staffers—Canadian and American alike—consider the institution to be like any other library in the world. “We’re just trying to be the best library, and our community is made up of people from two different countries,” she said. “We don’t think of it in that big symbolic way that I think a lot of people do. These are all our neighbors and we do our very best to help them on their life-long learning journey.” 【1】What can be learned about the Haskell Free Library? A. It has a history of almost 100 years. B. It runs across the U.S.-Canada border. C. It can be compared to the Grand Canyon. D. It is a well-known tourism site in Mexico. 【2】Why was the Haskell Free Library built? A. To be in honor of Mrs. Haskell. B. To donate books to the community. C. To support the cultural needs of citizens. D. To offer a relaxing environment for both countries. 【3】What is required if you are a visitor to the library? A. A passport must be carried. B. Border laws must be respected. C. An ID card must be checked. D. A personal photo must be taken. 【4】What can be inferred from Nancy Rumery’s words? A. The library takes on a symbolic meaning. B. She hopes to offer the best service to the visitors. C. She expects the library to be something different from others. D. The library strengthens the ties between the bordering countries. |

Extinctions are seldom a cause for celebration. Humans are wiping out species at a frightening rate, whether hunting them into history or, far more threateningly, damaging the habitats on which they depend. How, then, to think about a new technology that will make driving a species to extinction far easier? That technology is known as a gene drive, so called because it uses genetic engineering to drive certain features through a population. Those characteristics need not be harmful: they might become stronger against disease among crops or, perhaps, greater tolerance to warming waters on the part of corals. And if the species in question were the three types of mosquito responsible for spreading malaria(疟疾), it could save close to half a million lives a year, many of them children. The same approach could be used against other diseases such as Lyme disease, and Zika. Gene drives also offer us a potential weapon against foreign species such as foxes, mice, rabbits and rats, which are threatening native species in some parts of the world. Normally genes have a 50:50 chance of being passed on during reproduction. Gene drives tip the evolutionary scales. One area of research focuses on genes that can copy themselves to the second, ensuring that they will be passed on by all offspring(后代). Like many technologies, however, gene drives may lead to bad outcomes as well as good. They could in theory make a species extinct. One concern is practical: removing a species from the food chain could have unintended consequences, particularly if gene drives can move to a closely related species. Another relates to governance. Genetically modified crops can be kept relatively contained; animals carrying gene drives could be mobile and respect no borders. One country’s decision to use gene drives will have consequences for its neighbors. A third worry concerns improper uses of the technology, and not only by states. A mosquito, engineered to inject toxins(毒素), could be used as a weapon. But putting the brakes on research may pay real costs: not just the annual rising number of deaths taken by malaria and other killers before an answer is found, but also slower progress towards making gene drives safer. 【1】What’s the main idea of the second paragraph? A. Diseases spread among crops. B. The definition of gene drives. C. The bright sides of gene drives. D. The possible ways against diseases. 【2】What does the underlined word “governance” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Management. B. Adjustment. C. Instructions. D. Relevance. 【3】What attitude does the author have towards gene drive research? A. Unconcerned. B. Disapproving. C. Ambiguous. D. Supportive. 【4】What’s the best title for the passage? A. Pros and Cons of Gene Drives B. Gene Drives Make Our Life Safer C. Dangers Gene Drives Bring to Us D. One Concern We don’t Ignore |

Growing up, I’d always had a love for Australia. There was the United Kingdom, as well. However, I never imagined myself going to a country with a language barrier. 【1】. Before I knew it, I had applied for a summer studying abroad in Berlin, Germany. Though I had taken a last-minute semester German class at my home university, I was still worried about how I would be able to communicate in my new city. 【2】. In addition to getting accustomed to those differences, I would have to change how I would communicate. Still, I was over-the-moon excited for the opportunity and pushed the nervousness to the back of my mind. It wasn’t until I had just arrived in Berlin and was trying to order lunch that I realized I had begun to face my first test. I remember so vividly working with the other students on my program who also had a bit of German language learning experience to try to put together a few sentences as best as we could in order to get something to eat.【3】. How was I going to survive nine weeks in a country where I couldn’t speak enough of the native language? Over the next couple of weeks, I searched the Internet for key sentences that would help. Even if I couldn’t understand every word spoken to me, I learned that many Berliners are very open to people who make an effort to speak the language. They are very appreciative of it, too. 【4】. Now, eight weeks have gone by since my first few days in Berlin. Every day I am excited to try out my German in the city, learning something new by doing so. I have completed two German language courses so far. 【5】, but I highly encourage you to take the leap if you have an interest in studying somewhere where they speak an unfamiliar language. You never know what you will learn from the experience! A. It really is a special feeling B. The culture would be so different from my own C. Eventually, I would find myself with an interest in Germany and its culture D. Being in a new and completely foreign language may not be for everyone E. Ever since I was in high school, I knew that I wanted to study abroad in college F. Maybe I’ll even join the German Club at my home university in the United States G. The experience eventually turned out okay, but I was suddenly filled with fear again |
