Marie Curie, born in Sklodovka, Poland in 1876, led a hard life as a girl. Her parents, both teachers, had small salaries and were quite poor, especially after her mother stopped teaching to raise five children and take care of her poor health.
Marie’s mother suffered from tuberculosis (肺结核) and died of it when Marie was ten. When Marie was small, she showed great interest in science. She loved to study and hoped to become a scientist when she grew up. Her parents encouraged her interest in science. Excellent as she was in her studies, she couldn’t go on with the advanced education she needed because Poland was then ruled by Russia and women were not permitted to go to college.
In order to continue her education, she smoothed away many difficulties and entered Paris University, where she lived a simple life and studied hard, so she graduated with the highest grades in her class.
After graduation she was engaged in scientific research in Paris University.
There she met Pierre Curie, whom she married. Pierre joined her in her research into an unknown phenomenon “radiation”, which a certain scientist had declared that uranium gave off. The Curie spent several years trying their best to find the element that produced radiation.Finally they succeeded in 1902.
Marie Curie won two Nobel Prizes, one for physics in 1906, together with her husband and another scientist; the other for chemistry herself in 1911. Madame Curie was a scientist of great achievement, and the first woman ever to be honored in the Nobel Prize history.

Imagine if your clothes could pick up the sounds of everything going on around you. Scientists have created a fibre (纤维) which can pick up sounds and could be used as a hearing aid, to monitor heartbeats or even in spacecraft.
The new fibre works like a microphone. It picks up sounds and turns them into vibrations (震动) and then electrical signals, in a similar way to how ears work. When woven (编织) into a shirt, the researchers say the fibre can even detect a wearer’s heartbeat. The fibre can hear sounds as low as those in a quiet library to louder sounds like heavy road traffic. It can even accurately tell the direction of sudden sounds like handclaps.
The fibre was created by engineers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and researchers at Rhode Island School of Design. “Wearing a piece of clothing that can hear, you might talk through it to answer phone calls and communicate with others,” said lead author Yet Wan, who created the technology at MIT.
Once they had created the fibre, the team wove it into a more traditional piece of clothing which was much more flexible. When it was woven into the back of a shirt it was able to pick up the sound of people clapping, even picking up the direction the clapping was coming from. When woven into the shirt’s inner lining (内衬) it could pick up the person’s heartbeat, which the researchers think could be used in a pregnant woman’s clothes to monitor a baby’s heartbeat.
As well as wearable hearing aids, and clothes that track your heartbeat, the team says there are possibilities beyond clothing. “It can be integrated with spacecraft skin to listen to space dust, or embedded into (嵌入) buildings to detect cracks or strains,” Yet suggests. “It can even be woven into a smart net to monitor fish in the ocean.”
5.What is the scientists’ new invention?
A.A lightweight fibre. B.A new spacecraft skin.
C.A fibre that can hear. D.A microphone that can talk.
6.What can we learn about the new material?
A.It is easily distracted by loud sounds.
B.It can even pick up faint sounds.
C.It works more accurately than human ears.
D.It fails to recognise the direction of sounds.
7.What did the team do after creating the new material?
A.They wove it into babies’ clothes. B.They turned it into a fishnet.
C.They put it into mass production. D.They tested its performance.
8.What do Yet’s words in the last paragraph suggest?
A.The fibre has a wide range of applications. B.The fibre can bring in a big profit.
C.The fibre needs to be improved. D.The fibre is less flexible than traditional clothes.

In order to survive trips to Mars, humans need oxygen. Now, a team of scientists has designed a robot that could extract oxygen from water on the Red Planet.
The robot, which is called “AI chemist”, used a machine learning model to find a compound that could ignite an oxygen-producing chemical reaction on Mars. The compound, known as a catalyst (催化剂), is made entirely from elements found in Martian meteorites (陨石) — which means, if such a system could work reliably, space travelers would not need to bring oxygen or even the catalyst needed to produce it.
Mars’ atmosphere contains only trace amounts of oxygen. But scientists have detected evidence of liquid water beneath the planet’s southern ice cap. To create the breathable gas, researchers wanted to find a way to break down this water into its hydrogen and oxygen molecules using materials found on Mars.
Their robot analyzed five meteorites that either came from Mars or had a composition similar to that of the Martian surface. Using a laser, it identified significant amounts of iron, nickel, calcium, magnesium, aluminum and manganese in the samples. From these six elements, the robot’s algorithm (算法) deter-mined it could produce more than 3.7 million possible molecules to break down water and form oxygen on Mars. According to the researchers, finding the best one from this extensive list would take roughly 2,000 years of human labor, but for the AI chemist, it took only weeks.
“On the Earth, we don’t use these six elements,” Yi Luo, a co-author of the study says. “They are not the best choices for catalysts, but it’s only what you’ve got on Mars.”
With its chosen catalyst, the system could produce oxygen from the Martian materials at around - 37℃, demonstrating the chemical reaction could be possible on the cold Martian surface.
Notably, the robot was able to carry out the entire process — analyzing the rock samples, identifying the Jest possible catalyst and producing it without human intervention.
9.What inspired the scientists to design the robot that could extract oxygen?
A.Surviving on the Earth. B.Trips to Mars.
C.Traveling on the Moon. D.Water shortage.
10.What is the basis of extracting oxygen on Mars?
A.The existence of water and catalyst on Mars. B.The oxygen that Mars’ atmosphere contains.
C.The scientists’ previous study on meteorites. D.The low cost of “AI chemist”.
11.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.The finding of six elements. B.The advantages of the robots.
C.The process of producing oxygen. D.The formation of the meteorites.
12.What is the writer’s attitude towards “AI chemist”?
A.Doubtful. B.Unclear. C.Favorable. D.Indifferent.

Many robots track objects by “sight”as they work with them, but optical (光学的) sensors can’t take in an item’s entire shape when it’s in the dark or partially blocked from view. Now a new low-cost technique lets a robotic hand “feel”an unfamiliar object’s form- and skillfully handle it based on this information alone.
University of California, San Diego, roboticist Wang Xiaolong and his team wanted to find out whether complex actions could be achieved in robotics using only simple touch data.
The researchers attached 16 contact sensors, each costing about and fingers of a four-fingered robot hand. These sensors simply indicate if an object is touching the hand or not. “While one sensor doesn’t catch much, a lot of them can help you capture different aspects of the object”, Wang says. In this case, the robot’s task was to rotate (旋转) items placed in its palm.
They first ran simulations (模拟) to collect enough touch data as a virtual robot hand practiced rotating objects, including balls and other irregular objects. Using information from each sensor, the team built a computer model that determines an object’s position at every step of the handling process and moves the fingers to rotate it smoothly and stably.
Next, they transferred this capability to operate a real robot hand, which successfully controlled previously unfamiliar objects such as apples, tomatoes, soup cans and rubber ducks. Transfering the computer model to the real world was relatively easy because the sensor data were so simple. However, New York University’s Lerrel Pinto, who studies robots’ interactions, wonders whether the system would fail at more complicated tasks.
So, in future work, Wang’s group aims to tackle more complex movements as well as to add sensors in places such as the sides of the fingers. “This means that there will be more accurate information from touching that allows reconstructing the object shape,”Wang says. The researchers will also try adding vision to complement touch data for handling complicated shapes.
13.Why did Wang Xiaolong’s group conduct the research?
A.To develop a robot with advanced optical sensors.
B.To explore the use of touch data in complex robotic actions.
C.To investigate the impact of lighting on robotic recognition.
D.To create a robotic hand to take hold of familiar objects.
14.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The function of robot hands in Wang’s research.
B.The way that robot hands capture different objects.
C.The type of contact sensors attached to the robot hand.
D.The working principle of robot hands in Wang’s research.
15.How did the researchers gather touch data for the robotic hand’s training?
A.They used real-world objects.
B.They used complex optical sensors.
C.They relied on vision-based technology.
D.They conducted simulations with a robot hand.
16.What is Wang Xiaolong’s attitude towards Pinto’s concern over the system?
A.In different. B.Doubtful. C.Positive. D.Dismissive.

Four surprising ways algae (藻类) are driving innovation
Algae can be a double-edged sword. Increased human activity and climate change have caused explosions of algae populations in water bodies around the world sometimes choking entire ecosystems of sunlight and oxygen. Even though they are so closely associated with humanity’s negative impact on Earth, algae could also play key roles in helping fight pollution, viruses, and more. 17
Filtering (过滤) water.
With microplastic pollution documented in almost all water bodies, a recent study shows that through absorption, algae can help filter microplastics out of water. 18
Fueling air travel.
19 Researchers at a German algae cultivation facility are already using it to fuel drones. They believe this and other sustainable fuels could reduce carbon emissions from airplanes by up to 80 percent.
Fighting viruses.
Red algae can prevent the replication (复制) of some viruses, including COVID-19, according to a 2020 study. 20 Thus, it could become a powerful medication to treat HIV, the virus that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes (AIDS).
21
In 2019, freshwater algae were launched into space to turn the carbon dioxide exhaled (呼出) by astronauts on the International Space Station into oxygen. Since algae are also high in protein, they could replace up to 30 percent of astronaut food in the future.
A.Making space food more nutritious.
B.Making long-term space travel possible.
C.These are several ways algae are solving modern problems.
D.Some algae can also filter chemicals that can be used in fertilizers.
E.Brown algae have been shown to stimulate the body’s immune system.
F.Algae can produce more effective biofuels than traditional sources like soybeans.
G.It aims to harvest algae for energy while keeping the environment pollution-free.

The history of the school bus can date back to 1886 when the Wayne Works company made horse-drawn carriages (四轮马车) known as “ school wagons” or “kid hacks” in Indiana. 22
In the early 1900s, the car industry was beginning to develop fast. 23 The company managed to make its carriages powered by engines. But the design remained mostly the same as that of the previous ones, with students sitting along the walls of the bus while facing inside.
In 1927, a man built the first bus that primarily used steel. Before long, Wayne Works introduced the first all-steel school bus body with safety glass windows. 24 This led to a turning point in the history of the school bus in 1939, when a conference was organised at Manhattan College to develop school bus standards.
Many new national standards were created, determining everything from seating designs to the famous yellow color that school buses still sport today. The reason why the color was chosen was simple. 25 The color is especially easy to see in the early morning and evening light when school buses usually operate.
26 For example, a variety of changes have been made to enable the school bus to not only be safer but also have better fuel (燃料) economy, be easier to drive, etc. The most creative approach among all of these is probably a kind of stop signal arm that warns traffic of a stop in progress, which states began to require in the early 1950s.
A.Horses were easy to control.
B.Not all chose to paint their buses yellow.
C.Yellow is quite eye-catching to human beings.
D.Before then, many children simply walked to school.
E.Now, school buses have had many more improvements.
F.Still, parents were increasingly concerned for children’s safety.
G.This gave Wayne Works a great opportunity to improve its carriages.

If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It’s easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating (低估) what robots can do? 27 Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. 28
British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. 29 And teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’ facial expressions, body movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever have empathy (同感) and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.
One thing is certain, though. 30 In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers and 9-16 percent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere.
Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not “Will robots replace teachers?” but “How can robots help teachers?” Office workers can use software to do things. 31 If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.
A.Teachers can be replaced by robots.
B.A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all.
C.Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work.
D.He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information.
E.Could there be a place for robots in education after all?
F.Robots can save time that teachers spend in teaching in classroom.
G.In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing (诊断) illness.

Use Body Language to Build Trust
Body language can help people see you as more trustworthy, resulting in stronger relationships at home, work and school. Although some gestures vary across cultures, there’re certain basic body language gestures.
Keep eye contact when someone is talking. 32 So put your phone down and listen with your eyes. Building stronger human ties makes it easier to trust people and know more about them.
Uncross your arms and legs. 33 However, that will close you off. You’re unknowingly communicating something negative because you’ve positioned your body in a way that blocks any basis for building trust. 34 Thus, you’ll look more open to hearing others’ thoughts.
35 Sitting behind a desk creates another obstacle that could make the person you’re talking to put his or her own walls up. According to Professor Carla Chamberlin-Quinlisk, sitting at a table with her students encourages them to be more vocal during class. So try the smart way to get your boss to trust you.
Limit your own note taking. Sometimes notes are necessary when you’re talking to a coworker, but make sure all that doesn’t get in the way of your eye contact. If you’re constantly writing down what the other person says, that person could start feeling self-conscious. What’s more, taking notes makes the other person feel uncomfortable. 36
A.Don’t sit behind a desk.
B.Make sure your body looks open.
C.Nod and smile while someone is talking.
D.You might only be crossing your arms and legs because you’re cold.
E.It will help build trust because it shows real interest.
F.And they may question like “Why are they writing that down?”
G.Unfortunately, most people have no training on how to read body language.

Back in 1930, one economist predicted that with technological change and improvements in productivity, we’d only be working 15 hours a week by now. But while working hours have 82 by 26%, most of us still average 42.5 hours a week. One of the things he underestimated is the human desire to 83 with our peers.
So when some predicted that automation would create an extra amount of 84 time, needless to say, that didn’t happen. In the 1980s, managers could demand employees under the 85 that jobs could be given to someone else thanks to computerization. The 86 piled on. Overwork has been proven to 87 many diseases and even death. 88 we carried on — until COVID-19 came along.
Besides making us work longer hours from home, COVID-19 bas also 89 the move towards the adoption of automated machine. By 2050, some professor predicts that at least 40% of current jobs will be lost to 90 .
There are 91 . Jobs that involve complex social interactions are all likely to 92 the AI revolution. As are jobs that rely on creativity. The same also goes for 93 jobs, due to the large number of different objects and the variety of ways those objects need to be cleaned. Also, robots are unlikely to 94 in the “work” of taking care of children, preparing lunchboxes, etc.
Those whose work falls outside the caring, cleaning or creative field will still work in future, just 95 . In about 60% of occupations, a third of the tasks can be automated, meaning changes to the way we work. One study has predicted that over the next 20 years, 7.2 million new jobs will be 96 as a result. So we will work in future: we just don’t know what we’ll be doing yet.

When we think of paper, we think of newspapers and books. But there are many other uses. Only half of the world’s paper 127 (use) for books and newspapers.
Paper is very good for 128 (keep) you warm. You have perhaps seen homeless men 129 (sleep) on large numbers of newspapers. In Finland, it is sometimes -40℃ in winter. The farmers wear paper boots (靴子) in the snow. Nothing could be 130 (warm).
Each year, more and more things are made of paper. We have had paper cups 131 plates for a long time. But now we hear 132 chairs, tables, and even 133 (bed) can be made of paper. Besides paper boots and shoes, you can wear paper hats, paper dresses, and paper raincoats. When you have used them once, you may throw them away and buy new ones.
The latest use of paper 134 (seem) to be paper houses. These are not small houses for children to play in, but real, big houses for people to live in. You can buy 135 house with three rooms for about 500 dollars. You can put it up by 136 (you) in a few hours, and you can use it for about five years.

Marie Curie, born in Sklodovka, Poland in 1876, led a hard life as a girl. Her parents, both teachers, had small salaries and were quite poor, especially after her mother stopped teaching to raise five children and take care of her poor health.
Marie’s mother suffered from tuberculosis (肺结核) and died of it when Marie was ten. When Marie was small, she showed great interest in science. She loved to study and hoped to become a scientist when she grew up. Her parents encouraged her interest in science. Excellent as she was in her studies, she couldn’t go on with the advanced education she needed because Poland was then ruled by Russia and women were not permitted to go to college.
In order to continue her education, she smoothed away many difficulties and entered Paris University, where she lived a simple life and studied hard, so she graduated with the highest grades in her class.
After graduation she was engaged in scientific research in Paris University.
There she met Pierre Curie, whom she married. Pierre joined her in her research into an unknown phenomenon “radiation”, which a certain scientist had declared that uranium gave off. The Curie spent several years trying their best to find the element that produced radiation.Finally they succeeded in 1902.
Marie Curie won two Nobel Prizes, one for physics in 1906, together with her husband and another scientist; the other for chemistry herself in 1911. Madame Curie was a scientist of great achievement, and the first woman ever to be honored in the Nobel Prize history.

Imagine if your clothes could pick up the sounds of everything going on around you. Scientists have created a fibre (纤维) which can pick up sounds and could be used as a hearing aid, to monitor heartbeats or even in spacecraft.
The new fibre works like a microphone. It picks up sounds and turns them into vibrations (震动) and then electrical signals, in a similar way to how ears work. When woven (编织) into a shirt, the researchers say the fibre can even detect a wearer’s heartbeat. The fibre can hear sounds as low as those in a quiet library to louder sounds like heavy road traffic. It can even accurately tell the direction of sudden sounds like handclaps.
The fibre was created by engineers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and researchers at Rhode Island School of Design. “Wearing a piece of clothing that can hear, you might talk through it to answer phone calls and communicate with others,” said lead author Yet Wan, who created the technology at MIT.
Once they had created the fibre, the team wove it into a more traditional piece of clothing which was much more flexible. When it was woven into the back of a shirt it was able to pick up the sound of people clapping, even picking up the direction the clapping was coming from. When woven into the shirt’s inner lining (内衬) it could pick up the person’s heartbeat, which the researchers think could be used in a pregnant woman’s clothes to monitor a baby’s heartbeat.
As well as wearable hearing aids, and clothes that track your heartbeat, the team says there are possibilities beyond clothing. “It can be integrated with spacecraft skin to listen to space dust, or embedded into (嵌入) buildings to detect cracks or strains,” Yet suggests. “It can even be woven into a smart net to monitor fish in the ocean.”
5.What is the scientists’ new invention?
A.A lightweight fibre. B.A new spacecraft skin.
C.A fibre that can hear. D.A microphone that can talk.
6.What can we learn about the new material?
A.It is easily distracted by loud sounds.
B.It can even pick up faint sounds.
C.It works more accurately than human ears.
D.It fails to recognise the direction of sounds.
7.What did the team do after creating the new material?
A.They wove it into babies’ clothes. B.They turned it into a fishnet.
C.They put it into mass production. D.They tested its performance.
8.What do Yet’s words in the last paragraph suggest?
A.The fibre has a wide range of applications. B.The fibre can bring in a big profit.
C.The fibre needs to be improved. D.The fibre is less flexible than traditional clothes.
【答案】5.C 6.B 7.D 8.A

In order to survive trips to Mars, humans need oxygen. Now, a team of scientists has designed a robot that could extract oxygen from water on the Red Planet.
The robot, which is called “AI chemist”, used a machine learning model to find a compound that could ignite an oxygen-producing chemical reaction on Mars. The compound, known as a catalyst (催化剂), is made entirely from elements found in Martian meteorites (陨石) — which means, if such a system could work reliably, space travelers would not need to bring oxygen or even the catalyst needed to produce it.
Mars’ atmosphere contains only trace amounts of oxygen. But scientists have detected evidence of liquid water beneath the planet’s southern ice cap. To create the breathable gas, researchers wanted to find a way to break down this water into its hydrogen and oxygen molecules using materials found on Mars.
Their robot analyzed five meteorites that either came from Mars or had a composition similar to that of the Martian surface. Using a laser, it identified significant amounts of iron, nickel, calcium, magnesium, aluminum and manganese in the samples. From these six elements, the robot’s algorithm (算法) deter-mined it could produce more than 3.7 million possible molecules to break down water and form oxygen on Mars. According to the researchers, finding the best one from this extensive list would take roughly 2,000 years of human labor, but for the AI chemist, it took only weeks.
“On the Earth, we don’t use these six elements,” Yi Luo, a co-author of the study says. “They are not the best choices for catalysts, but it’s only what you’ve got on Mars.”
With its chosen catalyst, the system could produce oxygen from the Martian materials at around - 37℃, demonstrating the chemical reaction could be possible on the cold Martian surface.
Notably, the robot was able to carry out the entire process — analyzing the rock samples, identifying the Jest possible catalyst and producing it without human intervention.
9.What inspired the scientists to design the robot that could extract oxygen?
A.Surviving on the Earth. B.Trips to Mars.
C.Traveling on the Moon. D.Water shortage.
10.What is the basis of extracting oxygen on Mars?
A.The existence of water and catalyst on Mars. B.The oxygen that Mars’ atmosphere contains.
C.The scientists’ previous study on meteorites. D.The low cost of “AI chemist”.
11.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.The finding of six elements. B.The advantages of the robots.
C.The process of producing oxygen. D.The formation of the meteorites.
12.What is the writer’s attitude towards “AI chemist”?
A.Doubtful. B.Unclear. C.Favorable. D.Indifferent.

Many robots track objects by “sight”as they work with them, but optical (光学的) sensors can’t take in an item’s entire shape when it’s in the dark or partially blocked from view. Now a new low-cost technique lets a robotic hand “feel”an unfamiliar object’s form- and skillfully handle it based on this information alone.
University of California, San Diego, roboticist Wang Xiaolong and his team wanted to find out whether complex actions could be achieved in robotics using only simple touch data.
The researchers attached 16 contact sensors, each costing about and fingers of a four-fingered robot hand. These sensors simply indicate if an object is touching the hand or not. “While one sensor doesn’t catch much, a lot of them can help you capture different aspects of the object”, Wang says. In this case, the robot’s task was to rotate (旋转) items placed in its palm.
They first ran simulations (模拟) to collect enough touch data as a virtual robot hand practiced rotating objects, including balls and other irregular objects. Using information from each sensor, the team built a computer model that determines an object’s position at every step of the handling process and moves the fingers to rotate it smoothly and stably.
Next, they transferred this capability to operate a real robot hand, which successfully controlled previously unfamiliar objects such as apples, tomatoes, soup cans and rubber ducks. Transfering the computer model to the real world was relatively easy because the sensor data were so simple. However, New York University’s Lerrel Pinto, who studies robots’ interactions, wonders whether the system would fail at more complicated tasks.
So, in future work, Wang’s group aims to tackle more complex movements as well as to add sensors in places such as the sides of the fingers. “This means that there will be more accurate information from touching that allows reconstructing the object shape,”Wang says. The researchers will also try adding vision to complement touch data for handling complicated shapes.
13.Why did Wang Xiaolong’s group conduct the research?
A.To develop a robot with advanced optical sensors.
B.To explore the use of touch data in complex robotic actions.
C.To investigate the impact of lighting on robotic recognition.
D.To create a robotic hand to take hold of familiar objects.
14.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The function of robot hands in Wang’s research.
B.The way that robot hands capture different objects.
C.The type of contact sensors attached to the robot hand.
D.The working principle of robot hands in Wang’s research.
15.How did the researchers gather touch data for the robotic hand’s training?
A.They used real-world objects.
B.They used complex optical sensors.
C.They relied on vision-based technology.
D.They conducted simulations with a robot hand.
16.What is Wang Xiaolong’s attitude towards Pinto’s concern over the system?
A.In different. B.Doubtful. C.Positive. D.Dismissive.

14.段落大意题。根据第三段的“The researchers attached 16 contact sensors, each costing about and fingers of a four-fingered robot hand. These sensors simply indicate if an object is touching the hand or not. “While one sensor doesn’t catch much, a lot of them can help you capture different aspects of the object”, Wang says.

Four surprising ways algae (藻类) are driving innovation
Algae can be a double-edged sword. Increased human activity and climate change have caused explosions of algae populations in water bodies around the world sometimes choking entire ecosystems of sunlight and oxygen. Even though they are so closely associated with humanity’s negative impact on Earth, algae could also play key roles in helping fight pollution, viruses, and more. 17
Filtering (过滤) water.
With microplastic pollution documented in almost all water bodies, a recent study shows that through absorption, algae can help filter microplastics out of water. 18
Fueling air travel.
19 Researchers at a German algae cultivation facility are already using it to fuel drones. They believe this and other sustainable fuels could reduce carbon emissions from airplanes by up to 80 percent.
Fighting viruses.
Red algae can prevent the replication (复制) of some viruses, including COVID-19, according to a 2020 study. 20 Thus, it could become a powerful medication to treat HIV, the virus that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes (AIDS).
21
In 2019, freshwater algae were launched into space to turn the carbon dioxide exhaled (呼出) by astronauts on the International Space Station into oxygen. Since algae are also high in protein, they could replace up to 30 percent of astronaut food in the future.
A.Making space food more nutritious.
B.Making long-term space travel possible.
C.These are several ways algae are solving modern problems.
D.Some algae can also filter chemicals that can be used in fertilizers.
E.Brown algae have been shown to stimulate the body’s immune system.
F.Algae can produce more effective biofuels than traditional sources like soybeans.
G.It aims to harvest algae for energy while keeping the environment pollution-free.
【答案】17.C 18.D 19.F 20.E 21.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了藻类推动创新的四种惊人方式。
17.上文“Even though they are so closely associated with humanity’s negative impact on Earth, algae could also play key roles in helping fight pollution, viruses, and more.(尽管藻类与人类对地球的负面影响密切相关,但它们也可以在帮助对抗污染、病毒等方面发挥关键作用。)”说明藻类除了对地球的负面影响也有一些积极作用,选项C“这是藻类解决现代问题的几种方法。”承接上文,引出本文主题,介绍藻类的积极作用。故选C项。
18.小标题“Filtering (过滤) water. (过滤水。)”说明藻类能够过滤水。上文“With microplastic pollution documented in almost all water bodies, a recent study shows that through absorption, algae can help filter microplastics out of water.(几乎所有的水体都有微塑料污染的记录,最近的一项研究表明,通过吸收,藻类可以帮助过滤水中的微塑料。)”说明藻类的一种过滤作用,选项D“一些藻类还可以过滤用于肥料的化学物质。”承接上文,说明藻类的另一种过滤作用。故选D项。

The history of the school bus can date back to 1886 when the Wayne Works company made horse-drawn carriages (四轮马车) known as “ school wagons” or “kid hacks” in Indiana. 22
In the early 1900s, the car industry was beginning to develop fast. 23 The company managed to make its carriages powered by engines. But the design remained mostly the same as that of the previous ones, with students sitting along the walls of the bus while facing inside.
In 1927, a man built the first bus that primarily used steel. Before long, Wayne Works introduced the first all-steel school bus body with safety glass windows. 24 This led to a turning point in the history of the school bus in 1939, when a conference was organised at Manhattan College to develop school bus standards.
Many new national standards were created, determining everything from seating designs to the famous yellow color that school buses still sport today. The reason why the color was chosen was simple. 25 The color is especially easy to see in the early morning and evening light when school buses usually operate.
26 For example, a variety of changes have been made to enable the school bus to not only be safer but also have better fuel (燃料) economy, be easier to drive, etc. The most creative approach among all of these is probably a kind of stop signal arm that warns traffic of a stop in progress, which states began to require in the early 1950s.
A.Horses were easy to control.
B.Not all chose to paint their buses yellow.
C.Yellow is quite eye-catching to human beings.
D.Before then, many children simply walked to school.
E.Now, school buses have had many more improvements.
F.Still, parents were increasingly concerned for children’s safety.
G.This gave Wayne Works a great opportunity to improve its carriages.
【答案】22.D 23.G 24.F 25.C 26.E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了校车的起源以及其发展的过程。
22.根据上文“The history of the school bus can date back to 1886 when the Wayne Works company made horse-drawn carriages(四轮马车) known as “ school wagons” or “kid hacks” in Indiana.”(校车的历史可以追溯到1886年,当时Wayne Works公司在印第安纳州制造了被称为“学校马车”或“儿童马车”的马车。)可知,讲的是校车的历史。结合选项D项Before then, many children simply walked to school.(在此之前,许多孩子只是步行上学。)可知,承接上文内容,说明校车未出现之前孩子们是如何上学的,上下文紧密连接,符合语境。故选D项。
23.根据上文“In the early 1900s, the car industry was beginning to develop fast.”(20世纪初,汽车工业开始迅速发展。)以及下文“The company managed to make its carriages powered by engines.”(该公司设法使其马车由发动机驱动。)由此可知,空格处应讨论汽车工业的快速发展给Wayne Works公司带来的影响。结合选项G项This gave Wayne Works a great opportunity to improve its carriages.(这给了韦恩工厂一个改进车厢的好机会。)可知,起到上下文的承上启下作用,G项中的“improve its carriages”与下文中的“make its carriages powered by engines”相照应。故选G项。
24.根据上文“Before long, Wayne Works introduced the first all-steel school bus body with safety glass windows.”(不久,韦恩·沃克推出了第一辆全钢车身和安全玻璃窗的校车。)提到推出了第一辆校车。以及下文“This led to a turning point in the history of the school bus in 1939, when a conference was organised at Manhattan College to develop school bus standards.”(这导致了1939年校车历史上的一个转折点,当时在曼哈顿学院组织了一次会议来制定校车标准。)提到曼哈顿学院组织了一次会议来制定校车标准。由此可知,空格处内容应和校车的安全问题有关,结合选项F项Still, parents were increasingly concerned for children’s safety.(尽管如此,家长们还是越来越担心孩子的安全。)符合此推断,上下文语意连贯,符合语境。故选F项。
25.根据上文“The reason why the color was chosen was simple.”(选择这种颜色的原因很简单。)可知,空格处内容应为解释选择该颜色其原因。结合选项C项Yellow is quite eye-catching to human beings.(黄色对人类来说是非常引人注目的。)符合此推断,为对上文内容的语意递进,上下文紧密连接。故选C项。
26.由空格处位于段首可知,应为本段的主旨句。根据下文“For example, a variety of changes have been made to enable the school bus to not only be safer but also have better fuel(燃料) economy, be easier to drive, etc. The most creative approach among all of these is probably a kind of stop signal arm that warns traffic of a stop in progress, which states began to require in the early 1950s.”(例如,已经做出了各种改变,使校车不仅更安全,而且有更好的燃油经济性,更容易驾驶,等等。在所有这些方法中,最有创意的可能是一种停车信号臂,它可以警告正在进行中的车辆,这是各州在20世纪50年代初开始要求的。)可知,本段主要讲的是列举了对校车的一系列的改进。结合选项E项Now, school buses have had many more improvements.(现在,校车有了更多的改进。)意思一致,为总结该段内容。故选E项。

If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It’s easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating (低估) what robots can do? 27 Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. 28
British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. 29 And teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’ facial expressions, body movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever have empathy (同感) and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.
One thing is certain, though. 30 In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers and 9-16 percent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere.
Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not “Will robots replace teachers?” but “How can robots help teachers?” Office workers can use software to do things. 31 If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.
A.Teachers can be replaced by robots.
B.A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all.
C.Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work.
D.He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information.
E.Could there be a place for robots in education after all?
F.Robots can save time that teachers spend in teaching in classroom.
G.In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing (诊断) illness.

Use Body Language to Build Trust
Body language can help people see you as more trustworthy, resulting in stronger relationships at home, work and school. Although some gestures vary across cultures, there’re certain basic body language gestures.
Keep eye contact when someone is talking. 32 So put your phone down and listen with your eyes. Building stronger human ties makes it easier to trust people and know more about them.
Uncross your arms and legs. 33 However, that will close you off. You’re unknowingly communicating something negative because you’ve positioned your body in a way that blocks any basis for building trust. 34 Thus, you’ll look more open to hearing others’ thoughts.
35 Sitting behind a desk creates another obstacle that could make the person you’re talking to put his or her own walls up. According to Professor Carla Chamberlin-Quinlisk, sitting at a table with her students encourages them to be more vocal during class. So try the smart way to get your boss to trust you.
Limit your own note taking. Sometimes notes are necessary when you’re talking to a coworker, but make sure all that doesn’t get in the way of your eye contact. If you’re constantly writing down what the other person says, that person could start feeling self-conscious. What’s more, taking notes makes the other person feel uncomfortable. 36
A.Don’t sit behind a desk.
B.Make sure your body looks open.
C.Nod and smile while someone is talking.
D.You might only be crossing your arms and legs because you’re cold.
E.It will help build trust because it shows real interest.
F.And they may question like “Why are they writing that down?”
G.Unfortunately, most people have no training on how to read body language.
【答案】32.E 33.D 34.B 35.A 36.F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章作者就如何用肢体语言建立信任这一问题给出了一些建议。
32.上文“Keep eye contact when someone is talking.(当别人说话时,保持眼神交流。)”指出当别人说话时要保持眼神交流;E选项“It will help build trust because it shows real interest.(这将有助于建立信任,因为它显示了真正的兴趣。)”承接上文,阐述了保持眼神交流有助于建立信任的原因,与下文“So put your phone down and listen with your eyes.(所以放下你的手机,用你的眼睛倾听。)”构成因果关系,符合语境。故选E。
33.由段首句“Uncross your arms and legs.(不要交叉双臂和双腿。)”可知本段主要阐述不要交叉双臂和双腿;D选项“You might only be crossing your arms and legs because you’re cold.(你可能只是因为冷而交叉双臂和双腿。)”指出你交叉双臂和双腿可能只是因为冷;下文“However, that will close you off. You’re unknowingly communicating something negative because you’ve positioned your body in a way that blocks any basis for building trust.(然而,这将会使你与别人隔离。你在不知不觉中传达了一些消极的东西,因为你的身体已经挡住了建立信任的任何基础。)”承接D选项,指出即使因为冷而交叉双腿或者双臂,但也会使你与别人隔离,会影响你与别人建立信任;由此可知,D选项符合语境。故选D。
34.根据段首句“Uncross your arms and legs.(不要交叉双臂和双腿。)”以及下文“Thus, you’ll look more open to hearing others’ thoughts.(因此,你会更愿意听取别人的想法。)”可知和别人交流时不要交叉双臂和双腿,应该保持身体是放开的,让人感觉你是乐于倾听别人的想法;B选项“Make sure your body looks open.(确保你的身体看起来是放开的。)”符合语境,选项中的“open”与下文中的“open”相对应。故选B。
35.文章结构分析可知,设空处为主旨句;由下文“Sitting behind a desk creates another obstacle that could make the person you’re talking to put his or her own walls up.(在桌子后面会造成另一个障碍,可能会让与你交谈的人筑起自己的墙)”可知,本段主要阐述和别人交流时不要坐在桌子后面;A选项“Don’t sit behind a desk.(不要坐在桌子后面。)”符合本段主旨,能够引领下文,适合作为主旨句。故选A。
36.由上文“If you’re constantly writing down what the other person says, that person could start feeling self-conscious. What’s more, taking notes makes the other person feel uncomfortable.(如果你不停地写下别人说的话,那个人可能会开始感到不自在。更重要的是,记笔记会让对方感到不舒服。)”可知,你不停地记下别人所说的话会让对方感到不舒服;F选项“And they may question like “Why are they writing that down?”(他们可能会问:‘他们为什么要写下来?’)”承接上文,继续阐述你一直记笔记会给对方带来的影响。故选F。

134.考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:纸的最新用途似乎是纸房子。此处为谓语动词的填入,根据上下文时态可知,此处应为一般现在时,主语是The latest use of paper,所以谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填seems。
135.考查冠词。句意:你可以花大约500美元买一栋有三个房间的房子。根据句意以及空后house为单数名词可知,此处为表示泛指“一栋房子”,结合house为首音节辅音单词,所以为不定冠词a的填入。故填a。
136.考查代词。句意:你可以在几个小时内自己把它装起来,你可以使用它大约五年。根据句意以及空前by可知,此处为固定短语by oneself“独立地,靠自己”,满足句意要求,所以此处为反身代词填入。故填yourself。
