Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times. Dozens of women have won the Nobel Prize in science, one of the highest honors in the world. Some women scientists never married, some worked with their husbands, and others raised large families. It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists. In the early 1800s in England, Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth. Mary and her father collected fossils(化石)in their village on the south coast of Great Britain. Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years. When she was only twelve years old, Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons (骨架)of several animals that no longer existed on earth. She didn’t become famous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family. In 1891, a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics. She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland. She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together. They received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 along with another scientist. Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Nobel Prize in 1911, this time in Chemistry. Marie Curie was one of the few women at the time that became famous as a scientist. 【1】What does the author think of women scientists according to Paragraph 1? A.They go through difficulties to be successful. B.They cannot get the highest honors in the world. C.They had better pay more attention to their families. D.They have more opportunities to become successful. 【2】Why did Mary fail to be famous for her discoveries of fossils? A.She didn’t want to be known to anyone. B.They weren’t worth studying. C.Nobody recognized them. D.She sold them for money. 【3】What can we know about Marie Curie? A.She finished her college education in Poland. B.She was the first woman to win two Nobel Prizes. C.She won the first Nobel Prize before getting married. D.She and her husband won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. 【4】What’s the text mainly about? A.Ancient discoveries of scientists. B.Some stories of women scientists. C.Successful marriages of women scientists. D.Some women scientists winning the Nobel Prize. |

There are many ways to travel within a city. We can walk, cycle, or take a bus. But no matter which way we travel, we have to stick to the route(线路) the city planners laid down for us. Parkour practitioners (跑酷爱好者), however, see the city in a completely different way. To them, there are no fixed routes. There are no walls and no stairs—since they jump, climb, roll and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything that they find in their path. The city is their playground. The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has noticed that this activity is drawing more and more people to it—there are 100,000 people taking part in parkour today in the UK alone, according to the Guardian—and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination(协调性) and balance. So the organization is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the Olympics by 2024. But parkour practitioners themselves don’t seem to be happy with the idea. They see parkour as “a lifestyle”, wrote the website NextSportStar. “It’s a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport.” Indeed, many do parkour just to “escape the daily routine(事务) and experience the city in different ways”, wrote reporter Oli Mould on The Conversation. They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure. It’s great that the FIG wants to develop new sport and stay close to a new cultural form. But it would be greater if they knew that not everything in life is a competition. 【1】How do the parkour practitioners do parkour? A.They move on as they wish. B.They choose the routes the city planners laid down. C.They run faster than others. D.They stick to certain routes. 【2】Why does the FIG want to add parkour to the Olympics? A.It’s a special way of life. B.It draws their attention. C.It’s good for people to keep healthy. D.It needs some rules and instructions. 【3】What is the author’s idea on parkour? A.It is more formal than other sports. B.It helps people to be creative. C.It’s worth adding to the sporting event. D.It calls on people to work as a team. 【4】What is the best title for the passage? A.A new sports competition B.Parkour practitioners C.Training in a different way D.Making the city their own |

US author Henry Rollins once wrote: “Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.” Indeed, in the eyes of artists, loneliness never seems to go out of style. There are paintings that portray loneliness, songs that are inspired by loneliness, and many works of literature that center around this theme. In the eyes of UK economist Rachel Reeves, however, loneliness is far from romantic (浪漫的). Instead, it’s a “giant evil” that’s become a serious problem in the country. So just how serious is it? On Jan 17, UK Prime Minister Theresa May appointed politician Tracey Crouch as the country’s very first “Minister for Loneliness”. Her job is to tackle (处理) the loneliness that the country’s been feeling – a problem which, according to UK government research, is affecting more than 9 million people in the country, and is more harmful to one’s physical and mental health than smoking 15 cigarettes a day. And the problem hasn’t just appeared recently. Back in 2014, the UK was given the title of the “loneliness capital of Europe” by The Telegraph. A survey carried out by the newspaper found that British people were less likely to get to know their neighbors or build strong relationships with people than those from other European countries. “There is something British about wanting to deal with problems yourself,” Christian Guy, director of the Centre for Social Justice think-tank (智囊团), told The Telegraph. But this doesn’t mean that the problem only affects Britons. In fact, we’re all suffering from loneliness now more than ever, in spite of most of the world now having access to the internet, which has enabled us to be more connected than ever. What we need, according to Kim Leadbetter, sister of the late UK politician Jo Cox, is to have “proper human connections”. “Our lives nowadays are so busy. We spend the vast majority of our time on our phones, on our laptops. We need to press pause on that and actually sit down and speak to human beings,” Leadbetter said at an event last year. But the first steps toward fighting this problem are to accept its existence and not be ashamed or intimidated (吓倒) by it. After all, without loneliness, many beautiful paintings, songs, and literary works wouldn’t even exist. And “evil” or not, being lonely is simply part of the experience of being human. 【1】What can we learn about the UK’s loneliness problem? A.The UK became the loneliest country in the world in 2014. B.More than half of British people suffer from loneliness. C.The government is working to solve the problem. D.British people communicate less with their neighbors than ever. 【2】According to the text, social loneliness _______. A.has become a problem worldwide B.didn’t attract the public’s attention until recently C.is mainly caused by the wide use of the internet D.does more harm mentally than physically 【3】What does Leadbetter suggest doing to cope with loneliness? A.Making more phone calls to our friends. B.Stopping the use of electronic products. C.Interacting with the people around us face to face more often. D.Accepting its existence calmly. 【4】Which of the following would the author probably agree with? A.Loneliness is a giant evil of society. B.Only artists can appreciate the beauty of loneliness. C.It is hard to find a solution to social loneliness. D.Loneliness is just a normal part of our life. |
