Despite facing significant obstacles as a woman in a male-dominated field, she became the first person to win Nobel Prizes in two different scientific disciplines—Physics in 1903 and Chemistry in 1911. Curie’s early life was marked by hardship. Her family, once part of the educated middle class, fell into financial ruin due to political turmoil in Poland. Determined to pursue higher education, she moved to Paris in 1891 to study at the Sorbonne, where she excelled academically. In 1895, she married Pierre Curie, a French physicist, and the couple began collaborating on research into radioactive materials. Their most famous discovery was the isolation of two new elements, polonium (named after Marie’s homeland) and radium, from pitchblende, a uranium-rich mineral. This work earned them the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics, shared with Henri Becquerel, who first discovered radioactivity. Tragically, Pierre died in a street accident in 1906, leaving Marie to continue their research alone. Despite personal grief, Curie persisted. In 1911, she won her second Nobel Prize. this time in Chemistry, for her work on radium and polonium. She became the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne and later established the Radium Institute in Paris to further study radioactive elements. During World War I, she developed mobile X-ray units, known as “petites Curies”, to help treat wounded soldiers. Curie’s dedication to science came at a personal cost. Prolonged exposure to radioactive materials eventually led to her death from aplastic anemia in 1934. However, her legacy endures. She inspired generations of scientists and laid the foundation for modern research into nuclear energy and cancer treatment. 49. What was Marie Curie’s birth name? A. Maria Sklodowska. B.

Traditional media, such as newspapers, radio, and television, once dominated how people consumed information and entertainment. However, with the rise of the internet and digital technology, these platforms now face unprecedented challenges. According to recent statistics, the global digital media market is expected to reach $350 billion by 2025, while print media continues to decline, with newspaper circulation dropping by nearly 50% since the early 2000s. Digital media has revolutionized how content is created, distributed, and consumed. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have become primary sources of news for many users, especially younger generations. These platforms enable instant sharing of information, allowing news to spread virally within minutes. However, this speed has also led to challenges, such as the spread of misinformation and “fake news”, which traditional media outlets with established fact checking processes are less prone to. Another significant shift is the rise of streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+, which have transformed how people watch television and movies. Unlike traditional broadcast networks, these services offer on-demand content, allowing viewers to watch what they want, when they want. This shift has led to a decline in traditional TV viewership, with younger audiences increasingly turning to streaming platforms for their entertainment needs. The advertising industry has also evolved dramatically. Digital advertising now accounts for over 50% of all advertising spending globally, surpassing traditional methods like TV commercials and print ads. Advertisers are increasingly leveraging data analytics to target specific demographics, making digital ads more effective and personalized. Despite these changes, traditional media is not disappearing entirely. Instead, many organizations are adapting by integrating digital strategies. For example, newspapers like The New York Times have shifted their focus to digital subscriptions, while TV networks are launching their own streaming services. This hybrid approach suggests that the future of media may not be a replacement of old by new, but rather a coexistence where each platform leverages its unique strengths. 54. What is the primary reason for the decline of traditional media like newspapers and television? A Increased production costs B. The rise of digital media and the internet C. Decreased interest in news and entertainment D. Government regulations on media companies 55. Which of the following is a challenge associated with social media as a news source? A. Faster distribution of news B. Spread of misinformation and fake news C. Increased engagement with content D. Higher quality of journalistic standards 56. What has contributed to the growth of streaming services? A. The decline of movie theaters B. The availability of on-demand content C. The increase in traditional TV viewership D. The decrease in internet speeds 57. How has the advertising industry adapted to media changes? A. By focusing solely on print advertisements B. By reducing overall advertising budgets C. By using data analytics for targeted ads D. By eliminating digital advertising 58. What strategy are traditional media companies using to remain relevant? A. Completely abandoning digital platforms B. Integrating digital strategies with their existing models C. Relying exclusively on government support D. Ignoring changes in consumer behavior （D） Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Life is full of challenges and obstacles, but it is often through these difficult moments that we discover our true potential. When faced with adversity, some people ____59____ and give up, while others rise to the occasion and emerge stronger. The difference lies not in the circumstances themselves, but in how we ____60____ to them. Consider the story of Thomas Edison, who ____61____ over 1,000 attempts before successfully inventing the light bulb. When asked about his repeated failures, Edison famously replied, “I didn’t fail. I just found 1,000 ways that ____62____.” This mindset shift from viewing failures as endpoints to seeing them as learning opportunities is crucial for personal growth. Adversity also teaches resilience, a quality that helps us bounce back from setbacks. Resilient individuals ____63____ challenges as temporary and ____64____, believing that they can overcome whatever comes their way. This optimism is not blind; it is rooted in the ____65____ that effort and persistence will eventually yield results. Moreover, difficult experiences often lead to greater empathy and compassion. When we have faced our own struggles, we are better equipped to ____66____ others who are going through similar situations. This connection fosters a sense of community and support, which benefits everyone involved. In today’s fast-paced world, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by pressures and expectations. However, viewing challenges as opportunities for growth rather than threats can transform our perspective. By ____67____ a growth mindset, we can develop the skills and confidence needed to navigate life’s obstacles. Remember, the greatest ____68____ are not those who never fall, but those who rise each time they ____69____. As the saying goes, “Smooth seas never made a skilled sailor.” Embrace your challenges—they are the ____70____ that shape you into a stronger, more capable individual. 59. A. collapse B. persist C. hesitate D. compromise 60. A. object B. respond C. refer D. relate 61. A. succeeded B. managed C. failed D. attempted 62. A. worked B. wouldn’t work C. didn’t work D. wasn’t working 63. A. regard B. treat C. face D. meet 64. A. manageable B. difficult C. possible D. likely 65. A. hope B. belief C. wish D. thought 66.

Despite facing significant obstacles as a woman in a male-dominated field, she became the first person to win Nobel Prizes in two different scientific disciplines—Physics in 1903 and Chemistry in 1911. Curie’s early life was marked by hardship. Her family, once part of the educated middle class, fell into financial ruin due to political turmoil in Poland. Determined to pursue higher education, she moved to Paris in 1891 to study at the Sorbonne, where she excelled academically. In 1895, she married Pierre Curie, a French physicist, and the couple began collaborating on research into radioactive materials. Their most famous discovery was the isolation of two new elements, polonium (named after Marie’s homeland) and radium, from pitchblende, a uranium-rich mineral. This work earned them the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics, shared with Henri Becquerel, who first discovered radioactivity. Tragically, Pierre died in a street accident in 1906, leaving Marie to continue their research alone. Despite personal grief, Curie persisted. In 1911, she won her second Nobel Prize. this time in Chemistry, for her work on radium and polonium. She became the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne and later established the Radium Institute in Paris to further study radioactive elements. During World War I, she developed mobile X-ray units, known as “petites Curies”, to help treat wounded soldiers. Curie’s dedication to science came at a personal cost. Prolonged exposure to radioactive materials eventually led to her death from aplastic anemia in 1934. However, her legacy endures. She inspired generations of scientists and laid the foundation for modern research into nuclear energy and cancer treatment. 49. What was Marie Curie’s birth name? A. Maria Sklodowska. B. Maria Pierre. C. Maria Becquerel. D. Maria Radium. 50. In which two scientific fields did Marie Curie win Nobel Prizes? A. Physics and Biology. B. Chemistry and Medicine. C. Physics and Chemistry. D.

Traditional media, such as newspapers, radio, and television, once dominated how people consumed information and entertainment. However, with the rise of the internet and digital technology, these platforms now face unprecedented challenges. According to recent statistics, the global digital media market is expected to reach $350 billion by 2025, while print media continues to decline, with newspaper circulation dropping by nearly 50% since the early 2000s. Digital media has revolutionized how content is created, distributed, and consumed. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have become primary sources of news for many users, especially younger generations. These platforms enable instant sharing of information, allowing news to spread virally within minutes. However, this speed has also led to challenges, such as the spread of misinformation and “fake news”, which traditional media outlets with established fact checking processes are less prone to. Another significant shift is the rise of streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+, which have transformed how people watch television and movies. Unlike traditional broadcast networks, these services offer on-demand content, allowing viewers to watch what they want, when they want. This shift has led to a decline in traditional TV viewership, with younger audiences increasingly turning to streaming platforms for their entertainment needs. The advertising industry has also evolved dramatically. Digital advertising now accounts for over 50% of all advertising spending globally, surpassing traditional methods like TV commercials and print ads. Advertisers are increasingly leveraging data analytics to target specific demographics, making digital ads more effective and personalized. Despite these changes, traditional media is not disappearing entirely. Instead, many organizations are adapting by integrating digital strategies. For example, newspapers like The New York Times have shifted their focus to digital subscriptions, while TV networks are launching their own streaming services. This hybrid approach suggests that the future of media may not be a replacement of old by new, but rather a coexistence where each platform leverages its unique strengths. 54. What is the primary reason for the decline of traditional media like newspapers and television? A. Increased production costs B. The rise of digital media and the internet C. Decreased interest in news and entertainment D. Government regulations on media companies 55 Which of the following is a challenge associated with social media as a news source? A. Faster distribution of news B. Spread of misinformation and fake news C. Increased engagement with content D. Higher quality of journalistic standards 56.
