Unit 6 The Admirable-单元提升强化练 2025-2026学年高中英语北师大版必修第二册

Unit 6　The Admirable Ⅰ.阅读理解 A On July 14,2017,Maryam Mirzakhani,Stanford professor of mathematics and the first female winner of the Fields Medal in Mathematics,died at the age of 40. The news was especially hard-hitting for a generation of younger academics who have always held Maryam to be a role model whose example is helping redefine (重新定义) women’s status in science and especially in mathematics.What was fun was that Maryam always tried to avoid the media’s spotlight.Despite being the first woman to gain such high status in the world of mathematics—winning what’s often called the “Nobel Prize of Math”— her modesty (谦逊) and simplicity stood out to those who knew her. Maryam originally wanted to be a writer,a passion of hers that never faded away even during her postgraduate studies.However,she found an even greater joy in how rewarding it felt to solve mathematical problems.As a student,she was the first female member of Iran’s national team to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO),and she won two gold medals in two years,which is still a record. She received her bachelor’s degree in Iran and later studied at Harvard.In 2014,Maryam was recognized with the Fields Medal,the highest-ranking award in mathematics.Her work focused on curved surfaces like sphere (球体).Her achievements have applications in other scientific fields including engineering and material science.Unfortunately,at that time she was already fighting against the breast cancer. Maryam’s legend (传奇) may continue to grow after her early death.Still only 20 percent of full-time math teachers at U.S.universities are women.The example of a woman who rose to the top of this still very male field may help inspire math’s next generation. In the same way people think of Marie Curie or Jane Goodall as scientific pioneers,Maryam Mirzakhani will go down in history as a pioneer as well as a mathematical genius. 1.What made Maryam famous worldwide? A.Everlasting love for writing. B.Hiding behind the media’s spotlight. C.Fighting for women’s equal social status. D.Being the first female winner of the Fields Medal. 2.What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A.Maryam’s early experience. B.Maryam’s life achievements. C.Maryam’s individuality. D.Maryam’s life dream. 3.What can we learn about Maryam from the text? A.She stopped working when she was fighting against cancer. B.She encouraged the younger generation in mathematics. C.She applied mathematics to material science. D.She got her bachelor’s degree at Harvard. 4.Which of the following can best describe Maryam Mirzakhani? A.Able and modest. B.Tough and energetic. C.Talented and outgoing. D.Determined and generous. B Ellen Ochoa’s life journey offers an outstanding example of how invention can lead to adventure.She first worked as a creative engineer and went on to become the world’s first Hispanic female astronaut. Ochoa graduated from San Diego State University in 1980 with a degree in Physics.Mindful of her mother’s stress on the importance of education,she entered graduate school at Stanford University.When Neil Armstrong had first walked on the moon,Ochoa was 11 years old.It never would have hit her then that she too might someday become an astronaut.However,in 1983,when Ochoa was on the way to earning her PhD in Electrical Engineering,Sally Ride became the first female U.S.astronaut.This gave Ochoa the encouragement to aim high.Upon graduation,she applied to NASA to become an astronaut herself. At Stanford,Ochoa specialized in designing optical (光学) systems that study the objects that they “see”.After graduating,she continued this work at Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque,New Mexico.Sandia’s work for NASA includes developing optical, computerized recordings and models of events and phenomena (现象) in space.In time,Ochoa became the co-inventor of three optical devices.Later,working at NASA’s Ames Research Center,Ochoa branched off into developing computer systems designed for space exploration. Here she also managed a team of 35 scientists. Ochoa’s excellence in optics and computer hardware had caught NASA’s attention.In 1990,NASA accepted her into its astronaut training program,and in July 1991,Ochoa became an official U.S.astronaut.Less than two years later,Ochoa flew as a Mission Specialist on a Discovery Space Shuttle Mission. Ellen Ochoa has won numerous awards for her success as an engineer,an astronaut,and a role model—not just for Hispanic or female ambitious scientists,but for anyone who believes that excellence will finally find its recognition and reward. 5.What inspired Ochoa to have a higher ambition in 1983? A.Sally Ride’s example. B.Neil Armstrong’s life experience. C.Her mother’s stress on further education. D.Her graduation from San Diego State University. 6.What did Ochoa co-invent before becoming an astronaut? A.Optical systems to see the moon. B.Computerized models used in space. C.Three optical devices. D.Computer systems for management. 7.When was Ochoa’s first visit to space? A.In 1980. B.In 1983. C.In 1991. D.In 1993. 8.What can be learnt through Ochoa’s experiences? A.Creativity starts with an idea. B.Courage is knowing what not to fear. C.Follow excellence,and success will come to you. D.Understand your limitations,and you can remove them. C Working for a big company in London on a salary of over ￡100,000,you might expect Grayden Reece-Smith to have a luxurious (奢侈)lifestyle,going on expensive holidays or driving a sports car around south London,where he lives.In fact,the 28-year-old lives a very different existence from his colleagues.He gives away everything he earns over ￡42,000—a figure that he thought he could comfortably live on. Over the past five years,Reece-Smith has handed over more than ￡250,000 to organizations such as International Care Ministries,which helps poor families in the Philippines,and the Against Malaria Foundation.He is part of a growing number of young professionals described as “effective altruists”.Effective altruists typically donate regularly to a charity which they think will have a great effect.Some change careers to make more money,which can then be given away. Reece-Smith considered working in the charity sector after graduating from university,but thought that he could make a bigger difference by donating a large part of his salary.He had volunteered as a teacher at a school in Tanzania,but then realized that earning and giving would be more effective.“The cost of my flights there could have paid the salaries of two teachers for an entire year,” he says.Instead,he could “stay at home,living a nice life and still make a huge difference in the world”. He is not mean with money.Last year he went to Cuba on holiday,and spent several thousand pounds on a new sofa.But his lifestyle isn’t as luxurious as some of the people he works with.“I usually don’t buy supermarket-branded food products,and I don’t own a car.Other people on my salary might have a bigger house.Some of my colleagues have four-bedroom houses,but we only bought what we needed—a two-bedroom flat.￡42,000 is more than enough to live on and still save,” he says. 9.How much money does Grayden spend on donation every year? A.Less than ￡42,000. B.Over ￡100.000. C.￡50,000. D.Any income over ￡42,000. 10.What may an “effective altruist” do according to the text? A.Donate to impactful charities. B.Make more money to enjoy lives. C.Create a good public image. D.Enter a teaching profession. 11.Why did Grayden decide to donate money but not work in the charity sector? A.To access his inner life. B.To create a stronger effect. C.To give away all of his salary. D.To be a teacher at a school. 12.What can be inferred about Grayden from the text? A.He leads an expensive lifestyle. B.He buys food produced by supermarkets. C.He lives in a four-bedroom house. D.He balances his life and donation.
