Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分)

难度:☆☆☆
For Mireille Kamariza,a graduate student at one of the world's top universities,the fight against tuberculosis (TB) (结核病),which sickens nearly 10 million people a year,is not just about scientific progress and reputation.It's personal.
Kamariza grew up in the small African country of Burundi,where many around her were stricken with TB.In Burundi,it's rare for girls to attend college.“Science was something that Europeans and Americans did,” she says,“It was for other people—not for me.” “I never dreamt Kamariza would become a scientist because it is a career path that is unknown in Burundi,” says Denise Sinankwa,Kamariza's mother.She and her husband were raising four kids,and Sinankwa often did multiple jobs to feed the family.But Sinankwa still pushed Kamariza to do well in school.She wanted her daughter to land a good-paying job and be able to support herself.
When Kamariza was 17,she went to San Diego,US,in the fall of 2006 with her brothers.They took various jobs at grocery stores,restaurants and shops.At San Diego Mesa College,she met Saloua Saidane,her chemistry teacher,who was a fellow French-speaking African.“She started my journey into science.She really pushed me and kept motivating me and telling me I should aim high.Whatever she told me,I did,” says Kamariza.She is now a graduate student at Stanford University.
Kamariza wanted to focus on infectious disease.So she started brainstorming with her partner,another graduate student,to figure out a quicker way to diagnose TB.They eventually came up with a new test that recognises a sugar,called trehalose,that is only found in TB bacteria (细菌).Current TB tests take a lot of time and effort and are not very sensitive—some infections are missed.TB cultures are more reliable but take six weeks to produce a result.Kamariza's methods could make TB diagnoses simpler and more accurate.
In 2018,Harvard offered Kamariza a position in its Society of Fellows.“I'm the first black woman biologist at the society,” she says.“At that point,it's not about me any more.It's what I represent.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了生于布隆迪的Mireille Kamariza通过努力成为一名科学家并研发出了一种更快诊断结核病的方法的故事。

难度:☆☆☆
Many of us remember the feeling of having our braces(牙箍)regularly adjusted and retightened at the dentist's.And interventions are based entirely upon the estimate of dentists and involve a great deal of trial and error,which can lead to too many visits to the dentist's.
Professor Erleben and his team created a computer model that creates accurate 3D simulations(模拟) of an individual patient's jaw,which dentists can use to predict how sets of braces should be designed to best straighten a patient's teeth and plan the best possible treatment.To create these simulations,the computer model was used to map sets of human teeth after getting detailed CT images of teeth and the small,fine structures between the jawbone and the teeth.This type of precise digital simulation is referred to as a digital twin,a virtual model that lives in the cloud.
The virtual model can answer what's happening in the real world,and do so instantly.For example,one can ask what would happen if you pushed on one tooth and get answers with regards to where it would move and how it would affect other teeth.The model also helps to predict the post treatment effect,achieve “visualization” of treatment,and facilitate patients to understand the plan of straightening their teeth.What's more,it has enabled more flexible and convenient digital medical follow-up services.
The area of research that uses digital twins is relatively new.“ However,we need to set up a sufficiently big database if digital twins are to really take root and benefit the healthcare industry,” Erleben said,“In the future,the virtual model can be used to plan and improve,and can therefore be used to operate companies,robots,factories and used much more in the energy,healthcare and other fields.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Erleben教授和他的团队利用电脑建模制作3D牙齿模拟以帮助牙医的事情。
5.What is paragraph 1 mainly about? ( )
A.The professional integrity of dentists.
B.The current state of dental treatment.
C.The procedure of retightening braces.
D.The intervention of modern technology.
解析:B 段落大意题。根据第一段内容可知,我们中的许多人都记得定期去牙医那里调整和重新紧固牙套的感觉。干预措施完全基于牙医的估计,涉及大量的反复试验,这可能会导致去牙医那里太多次。由此可见,本段主要讲述了现如今人们看牙的状况,故B项正确。
6.Which was the first step in creating 3D simulations? ( )
A.Predicting treatment effect.
B.Designing a computer model.
C.Drawing the shape of a mouth.
D.Obtaining the details of teeth.
解析:D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To create these simulations...between the jawbone and the teeth.”可知,为了创建这些模拟,在获得牙齿和下颌骨和牙齿之间的小且难以看出的结构的详细CT图像后,该计算机模型被用来绘制人类牙齿集。由此可见,创建3D模拟的第一步是获得牙齿的详细信息,故D项正确。
7.What is Professor Erleben's attitude towards digital twins?( )
A.Doubtful. B.Curious.
C.Favorable. D.Dismissive.
解析:C 观点态度题。根据最后一段中Erleben所说的话“In the future...more in the energy,healthcare and other fields.”可知,Erleben认为,在未来,虚拟模型可以被用于计划和改善,因此也可被用于运作公司、机器人和工厂,也可在能源、医疗保健和其他领域得到更多应用。由此可见,Erleben对于数字孪生的态度是支持、赞成的,故C项正确。
8.What can be a suitable title for the text?( )
A.Why Digital Twins Make a Hit?
B.Where Virtual Treatment Goes?
C.What Trouble Dentists Encounter?
D.How a Virtual Model Aids Dentists?
解析:D 标题归纳题。本文第一段主要讲述了现如今人们看牙的状况,第二段则提到了针对目前状况,Erleben和他的团队利用电脑建模制作3D牙齿模拟,第三段讲到了3D牙齿模拟的作用,最后一段主要讲述了3D牙齿模拟的前景。综上可知,本文主要讲述了3D牙齿模拟的应用和前景,D项“一个虚拟模型是如何帮助牙医的”适合作本文的标题,故D项正确。

难度:☆☆☆☆
German physicist Albert Einstein is one of the most famous scientists of all time,the personification of a genius and the subject of a whole industry of scholarship.In The Einsteinian Revolution,two experts on Einstein's life and his theory of relativity—Israeli physicist Hanoch Gutfreund and German historian of science Jurgen Renn—offer an original and penetrating (精辟的) analysis of Einstein's revolutionary contributions to physics and our view of the physical world.
For the first time ever,by setting Einstein's work in the long course of the evolution of scientific knowledge,Gutfreund and Renn discover the popular misconception about Einstein as an unconventional scientific genius who created modern physics single-handedly and by pure thought alone.
As a large part of the book explains,Einstein typically argued that science progresses through steady evolution,not through revolutionary breaks with the past.He saw his theory of relativity not as something from scratch,but a natural extension of the classical physics developed by pioneers such as Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei and English physicist Isaac Newton in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries,as well as nineteenth-century physicists.
The authors highlight how classical physics cannot be separated cleanly from modern Einsteinian physics.The book also includes substantial sections on Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo whose methods inspired Einstein.When Einstein considered himself as standing on their shoulders,he meant that,without their contributions,he would not have formulated (认真阐述) the theory of relativity.
The Einsteinian Revolution is an important and thought-provoking contribution to the scholarly literature on Einstein and his surprising scientific creativity between 1905 and 1925.Gutfreund and Renn might not have given the final answer as to why Einstein,of all people,revolutionized physics in the way that he did.But they argue in fascinating detail that,to understand his genius,one must take into account not just the earlier history of physics but also the history of knowledge more broadly.Although not always an easy read,the book will interest physicists and historians alike.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一本书,在书里两位专家对爱因斯坦所取得的辉煌成就进行了另外一种诠释——爱因斯坦所取得的成就离不开先驱者们的研究成果。
9.What's the attitude of Gutfreund and Renn to the popular viewpoint on Einstein?( )
A.Opposing. B.Favorable.
C.Ambiguous. D.Indifferent.
解析:A 观点态度题。根据第二段“For the first time ...Gutfreund and Renn discover the popular misconception ...and by pure thought alone.”可推知,这两个专家对关于爱因斯坦的流行观点持否定态度。故选A项。
10.What does the underlined phrase “from scratch” probably mean?( )
A.From nothing.
B.Up to a certain standard.
C.By learning from others.
D.With previous knowledge.
解析:A 词义猜测题。根据第三段的内容可知,这本书有很大一部分解释了爱因斯坦认为科学的进步是通过稳定的发展,而不是对过去革命性的突破。他认为他的相对论不是横空出世,而是一批先驱者研发的经典物理学的自然延伸。故选A项。
11.What does the author mean to say by mentioning the famous physicists?( )
A.Their ideas were rejected by Einstein.
B.Their devotion to physics impressed Einstein.
C.Their research contributed to Einstein's success.
D.Their hard work deserved the worldwide respect.
解析:C 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,爱因斯坦认为自己的相对论不是横空出世,而是十六世纪和十七世纪意大利天文学家Galileo Galilei和英国物理学家Isaac Newton等先驱以及十九世纪物理学家发展起来的经典物理学的自然延伸。所以作者提到这些著名的物理学家是为了说明爱因斯坦的成功受益于他们的研究成果。故选C项。
12.Where is the text most probably taken from?( )
A.A guidebook to a course.
B.An introduction to a book.
C.An essay on Albert Einstein.
D.A review of physics development.
解析:B 文章出处题。根据全文尤其是第四段中的“The authors highlight ...The book also includes”和第五段中的“Although not always an easy read,the book will interest physicists and historians alike.”可知,全文主要为读者介绍了The Einsteinian Revolution这本书,所以本文最有可能摘自图书导语。故选B项。
