A
He Zehui, a Chinese nuclear physicist, accomplished great things in physics and became an outstanding scientist.
Her family is famous for producing three famous women scientists, including her two sisters. She graduated from Tsinghua University in 1936 with a degree in physics, and then went on to study at the Technical University of Berlin, where she was the top in her class, outperforming her future husband Qian Sanqiang—China's “father of the atomic bomb”. In 1940, she earned a Ph.D. in Engineering.
The couple made great discoveries in the field of uranium fission(铀核裂变), which drew global attention and earned them worldwide reputations, also marking a milestone in the development of China's experimental fission physics. Many Western media called the couple the “Marie Curie and Pierre Curie of China”.
As one of the pioneers in nuclear science and technology in China, Professor He contributed a great deal to nuclear physics. During the 1950s, she started the research and development of nuclear emulsions(核乳胶)in China and their research reached the advanced world level at that time. He and her research group took the lead in building China's first nuclear reactor and accelerator. She was awarded the first Award of the National Prize of Natural Sciences for making outstanding achievements in supporting the national program of nuclear weapon development.
Throughout her career, He conquered many obstacles, and was always on the front lines of China's science-related work. She published dozens of papers yet placed little value on personal fame. The world's top physicists recognized He as a famous scientist—“Chinese Madame Curie”.
He passed away in Beijing in 2011 at the age of 97, nearly 20 years after Qian Sanqiang. She dedicated herself to science, living a simple life, always nurturing young researchers and maintaining the highest standards that she had always valued. She loved her country and science;to both she is now an icon.

British chemist David Evans has become an overnight celebrity on Chinese social media. His chemistry experiments have attracted over 2 million followers in just a few months. Evans is a chemistry professor at the Beijing University of Chemical Technology. The 60-year-old man always wears a white lab coat,a pair of safety goggles(护目镜), and smiles often. Some web users say he looks just like the “grandpa of KFC”.
Evans has posted videos of various experiments. His most popular experiments have attracted millions of hits on video-sharing apps. Excited children's cheers and shouts can be heard in his videos. “I hope my experiments can arouse people's interest in science, ” he says.
Evans has been interested in China since childhood. In the early 1970s,before the reform and opening-up, he viewed it as “a country full of mysteries”. He first visited the Chinese mainland in 1987 to attend a chemistry conference in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. He quit his job in the United Kingdom and moved to Beijing in 1996. Many of his friends thought he was crazy. But Evans said they just saw China's challenges but not its potential.
Since 2011,Evans has turned to the Internet to popularize science. He learned short-video apps are also popular in small cities and rural areas. And he realized this enables him to reach more students,who lack opportunities to perform fun experiments. But even a one-minute video requires a considerable amount of work. Still,he thinks it's worth it to fulfill his responsibility to popularize science.
His experiments always fill schools' lecture halls with laughter. Some viewers call him “a Harry Potter-like magician”,but he disagrees. “A magician never tells the secrets behind his tricks,but a scientist always gives an explanation. ” He sees himself as a teacher. He performs experiments to spread knowledge,inspire thinking,remove misunderstandings and show that science can create change. Evans says he looks forward to more “chemical reactions” with China.
5.Who is David Evans according to the passage?
A.A film celebrity. B.A chemistry teacher.
C.A manager of KFC. D.A British magician.
6.Why did Evans begin to post videos of experiments on the Internet?
A.To popularize science. B.To rise to fame.
C.To apply short-video apps. D.To make a fortune.
7.Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 3?
A.Evans considered the UK to be a country full of mysteries.
B.Evans first visited Chinese mainland in his childhood.
C.Evans went to China for a chemistry meeting in 1987.

Ⅱ.七选五
Online courses have become popular in many countries. There are different kinds of online courses, but most show a video of a teacher and students in a classroom. Students watch the video online and take part in online activities. Some courses are free and open to anyone. 1 Of course, watching videos on a screen is not the same as taking part in a real class.
2 In Singapore, eight schools have been chosen to try new ways of using technology in the classroom. The schools have tablets(平板电脑)and touchscreens instead of books and blackboards in the classrooms. 3 Through them, students can communicate with each other and work on projects together.
In South Korea, some students have been taught English by teachers in the Philippines and other countries since 2011. The teachers are in their home country and are connected to the South Korean classrooms via the Internet. Instead of looking at a screen, the students interact with a robot in the classroom. The robot is controlled by the teachers. 4
Thanks to technology, more and more ways of teaching and learning are being developed.
5 But one thing is for sure—there has never been a more interesting time than being a student.
A.E-learning can be successful.
B.There are also social media platforms(平台).
C.Other kinds of e-learning are being tested around the world.
D.They give students the chance to study anywhere, at any time.
E.Nobody knows what the classroom of the future will look like.
F.And it can move around the classroom and talk with the students.
G.The courses that are taught via the Internet are called online courses.
