Some Famous People With Surprising Achievements
Hedy Lamarr — Wi-Fi
Austrian-born film star Hedy Lamarr was a box-office hit during the Hollywood Golden Age in the late 1930s and early 1940s.During World War Ⅱ, she worked on a torpedo guidance system which forms the basis of today's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi communications.Patented (获得专利权) in 1942 together with composer George Anthiel, their “frequency hopping” device was used during the war.Surprisingly, neither Lamarr nor Anthiel profited from their invention during their lifetimes.
Uri Geller — Radiation Shield (辐射防护屏)
As an Israeli-British magician, Uri Geller is best-known for using “mind power” to bend spoons on live TV.However, a lesser-known achievement is his invention of a radiation shield to protect cell phone users from the radiation.Patented in 1998, the shield covers the device completely to protect users from the harmful effects of radiation from cell phones and other hand-held devices.
Jamie Lee Curtis — Baby Diaper (尿布)
Jamie Lee Curtis was a screen legend.She has featured in many movies during her career.With a busy acting schedule, it's quite surprising that she found time to turn her hand to invention.Curtis actually patented a baby diaper during 1980s, aiming at improving the traditional diaper design.
Gary Burghoff — Fishing Equipment
American actor Gary Burghoff is best-known for his role in the 1970s' TV series M*A*S*H. Burghoff also has a gift for inventing things.He holds two patents for “Chum Magic”, a fishing device that draws fish toward the boat, as well as a fishing pole.

The father of an 8-year-old boy says his son is now the youngest person to climb California's El Capitan.After four days of guided climbing, Joe Baker and his son Sam reached the top of the cliff (悬崖) face inside Yosemite National Park last week.
“We made it!” Joe said.“What an amazing week! I'm so proud of Sam.He completed the youngest rope climbing of El Capitan! In a few years he might be back breaking more records.”
Rock climbing has been a favorite pastime for the Baker family.Though Sam's mother didn't join the climbing, she is also a crazy climber.The family set up a website to record Sam's adventures and collect money to make films that inspire parents to adventure with their kids.Sam began training at least 18 months ago and did well in a test run.They began the climbing on October 25 and reached the top on 28.They made the journey with the help of two guides.
But their achievement has not been without controversy (争议): as the climbing made headlines around the world, some members of the Yosemite climbing community began to say publicly that what the pair had done was not actually called climbing.The Bakers used a technique known as “jugging” which needs using hand-held devices to slide up a fixed rope that's been placed by a guide, without touching the rock face.
Reaching the top can not be so simple.The climbing takes many days, which means carrying up all necessary food, water and other heavy equipment.It also involves setting up and sleeping on a small platform that's suspended (悬) thousands of feet in the air.The rock face is very exposed, a term (术语) used to describe a place that's steep (陡峭的) and unprotected.

Andrew Grey doesn't fit most people's idea of an astronomer.He works in a car repair shop, not in a lab or university, yet the Australian repairman discovered a star system hiding in data from NASA's Kepler space telescope.
Mr Grey is one of millions of citizen scientists helping researchers to expand collective understanding.For centuries, only a few ordinary people had been contributing to science, but advances in technology have brought a higher level of democratization (民主化) to science.
“This is a collaborative (合作的) effort that anyone could get involved in,” says Chris Lintott, an Oxford University astrophysicist (天体物理学家) and co-founder of Zooniverse, a platform that hosts dozens of citizen science projects.Citizen scientists can contribute to breakthroughs in almost any field, from ecology to astrophysics.
“As long as pattern recognition is involved, there are no limits to what can become a citizen science project,” Lintott says.“Anyone can identify patterns in images, graphs, or even seemingly boring data after a short tutorial.Machine learning allows computers to do some pattern recognition.But humans, particularly amateur scientists, don't stay focused on what they're supposed to.And that's good, because people who do that notice the unusual things in a data set.”
“And citizen science doesn't have to be directed by a scientist,” says Sheila Jasanoff, director of the Program on Science, Technology and Society at Harvard University.“Citizens producing knowledge in places where official organs have failed them can also be citizen scientists,” she says.That's what happened in Flint, Michigan, when a local mother started drinking water tests that caused a broader investigation of lead levels.
Citizen-powered research is as old as scientific inquiry.For centuries before science became professionalized, regular people looked for patterns in the world around them.Despite a lot of advanced equipment and computer models, scientists still welcome help from everyday people.
As a professional scientist himself, Lintott says, “People think that we're intelligent, but science is easy and we need your help.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。数个世纪以来,只有少数普通人为科学做出了贡献,但科技的进步已经为科学带来了更高水平的民主化,科学是任何人都能参与的,每个人都有可能成为科学家。
8.What made citizen scientists appear?
A.The high level of science projects.
B.The development of technology.
C.The support of the government.
D.The foundation of Zooniverse.
√
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“but advances in technology have brought a higher level of democratization to science”可知,科技的进步为科学带来了更高水平的民主化,从而使更多的普通人也能参与科学研究,促成了平民科学家的出现。
9.What is an advantage of humans in pattern recognition compared with machines?
A.Humans can identify patterns more swiftly.
B.Humans focus their attention on data.
C.Humans can observe uncommon things.
D.Humans have stronger emotions.
√
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段尤其是最后一句可知,在模式识别方面,人类与机器相比,人类的优势在于能够注意到一些不寻常的东西。
10.What is Lintott's attitude towards citizen science?
A.Favorable. B.Cautious.
C.Indifferent. D.Doubtful.
√
解析:观点态度题。根据第三段中Lintott表述的科学人人都能参与,第四段中他表述的平民科学家有自身的优势和尾段中他说的话可推知,Lintott对平民科学持支持态度。
11.What would be the best title of the text?
A.Citizen scientists can be intelligent
B.Science is important to everyone
C.Anyone can be a scientist
D.Science is everywhere
√
解析:标题归纳题。文章第一段以澳大利亚汽车修理工Andrew Grey成为平民科学家来引入话题,接着又讲到天体物理学家Chris Lintott和Sheila Jasanoff对于平民科学的看法,并结合倒数第二段中的“scientists still welcome help from everyday people”可知,本文主要肯定了平民科学家,表达了任何人都可能成为科学家的观点,故C项最适合作文章标题。
D
Xie Hongxing spent 46 days trying to copy, in minute detail, a spacecraft, the very example of modern engineering.His feat of craftsmanship was all the more extraordinary when you realize the material he was using was bamboo.The delicate miniature version was his own way of celebrating the country's ambitious space program.
“It's a combination of tradition and modernity — a new way to promote the intangible cultural heritage,” says Xie. He used more than a dozen species of local bamboo to demonstrate the aesthetics (美学) of the space station and carefully wove the small solar wings with three different types.
It took him seven hours to figure out how to weave a perfect five-star flag with dyed bamboo strips.“I used very thin bamboo strips of two colors, wove them together with a tool and stretched them tightly to make the pattern of the stars,” says Xie.
Xie posted the weaving process on a popular short video platform, where he has more than 27,000 followers.The topic drew several million views and people online expressed their amazement at the delicate workmanship.He's quite __________.He also shared how to make a delicate tea tray in the shape of a boat from an old piece of bamboo, as well as how to repair a shabby desk in an artistic way.
a dab hand
Xie says that some old items are bound to be out-of-date, but craftsmen can change the designs to create art.He often creates novel handicrafts as well.“Bamboo weaving is like composing a piece of writing — you should think carefully at first.The most difficult part is innovation, and you need imagination to achieve that,” he says.
Every year, he joins in activities and contests to communicate with other bamboo weavers from across the country, and to pool ideas and information to promote the art form.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了民间艺人谢宏星用竹子编制宇宙飞船、五星旗等艺术品,将传统与新时代产物进行融合创新。
12.What makes Xie Hongxing's miniature spacecraft special?
A.The novel design of it.
B.The beautiful appearance of it.
C.The attractive color of it.
D.The special material used to make it.
√
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中“His feat of craftsmanship was all the more extraordinary when you realize the material he was using was bamboo.”可知,他的作品的特别之处在于其使用的材料。
13.What troubled Xie when making the miniature?
A.Weaving the small solar wings.
B.Collecting available material.
C.Changing the color of bamboos.
D.Making a double-colored pattern.
√
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中“I used very thin bamboo strips of two colors, wove them together with a tool and stretched them tightly to make the pattern of the stars”可知,困扰他的是制作一个双色的样式。
14.Which of the following can best replace the underlined words “a dab hand” in paragraph 4?
A.Skillful at making crafts.
B.Willing to share weaving techniques.
C.Able to bring outdated stuff back to life.
D.Expert at separating treasure from trash.
√
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词组前后文可知,网上的人们对他精湛的手艺感到非常惊讶,故画线词组意为“擅长制作工艺品”。
15.Which statement may Xie Hongxing probably agree with?
A.Good things take time.
B.The pupil surpasses the master.
C.Imagination is the source of creation.
D.Everything is difficult before it is easy.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The most difficult part is innovation, and you need imagination to achieve that”可知,他可能会认同“想象力是创作的源泉”这一观点。

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章从四个方面解释了同伴指导是如何帮助我们解决问题的。
16.解析:选F 前文讲到在校期间会面临很多的挑战,同伴指导是解决问题最有效的方式之一,所以此处对同伴指导的好处进一步说明。故F项“他们总是在那里帮助你渡过难关”符合语境,其中的“they”指代前文中的“peer tutors”。
17.解析:选G 上文提到指出错误可能是最让人不舒服的一部分,但同伴想让你表现出最佳水平,故G项“他们确保这一点的唯一方法是对你完全诚实”承接上文,符合语境。
18.解析:选A 根据下文可知,本段主要说明如果同伴给我们的建议是有用的,那我们一定要改变自己,去接纳他们的意见。故A项“给你一个改变的机会”适合作本段的主旨句。文中的“Change”是标题中“change”的复现。
19.解析:选C 根据上文可知,人有时会懒惰。此处需要顺接前面的表述,即我们每个人都有懒惰的时候,也要承接下文,表明我们也需要克服这个问题。故C项“当然,这没什么好羞愧的”承上启下,符合语境。C项中的“it”指代前文懒惰这件事。
20.解析:选D 根据上文可知,同伴指导帮助我们解决了学习中的很多问题。所以此处需要表明同伴指导是有效的。故D项“所以我认为这真的值得你的努力”为前一句表述的结果,符合语境。

Crying Mother
Coming home from school that dark winter day so long ago, I was filled with excitement of having the weekend off.But I was shocked into stillness by what I saw.Mother was seated at the far end of the sofa, crying with the second-hand green typewriter on the table.She told me that she couldn't type fast and then she was out of work.
My shock and embarrassment at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof of how little I understood the pressures on her.Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very slowly to understand.“I guess we all have to fail sometimes.” Mother said quietly.I could sense her pain and the tension of holding back the strong feelings that were interrupted by my arrival.
Suddenly something inside me turned.I reached out and put my arms around her.She broke then.She put her face against my shoulder and sobbed (啜泣).I held her tightly and didn't try to talk.I knew I was doing what I should, what I could and that it was enough.At that moment, feeling Mother's back with feelings, I understood for the first time her being so easy to break.She was still my mother, yet she was something more: a person like me, capable of fear and hurt and failure.I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I sought comfort in her arms.
A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station offered.“It's a job I can do, though,” she said simply.But the evening practice on the cold green typewriter continued.I had a very different feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her tapping away across the paper.I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.

Sitting on the edge of the world, Sydney is considered as one of the world's greatest cities for a reason. Want to relax yourself in Sydney? This shortlist of things to do and see in Sydney should point you in the right direction.
[阅读理解拓展练]
Hit the beaches
Everyone knows about Bondi Beach and its Icebergs pool, restaurants and the crashing waves are the postcard image of Sydney. Bondi is a great place to start. But after you've caught some sun or taken a surf lesson with Let's Go Surfing, we'd suggest taking the Coogee Coastal Walk. Beginning at the Bondi Icebergs swim club, the 3.7-mile walk affords amazing cliffside views of rock pools and bays.
Catch a show
Sydney is full of events and performances every night of the week. The first place that jumps to mind is the iconic Sydney Opera House, designed by Jørn Utzon. A UNESCO World Heritage site, this incredible piece of architecture doesn't just do opera. You'll also find stand-up comedy, ballets, and more. But it's not the only place in Sydney putting on a show. The 1920s State Theatre, in the central business district, is known to host international ballets, concerts and world-class orchestras.
Go to the zoo
From the skyline views to the charming grounds, there's a reason why Sydney's Taronga Zoo attracts more than 1 million visitors every year. The expansive space plays host to more than 4,000 animals, including tigers, giraffes, kangaroos, platypus, koalas, Komodo dragons, elephants, lions, chimps and more. Love it so much that you never want to leave? Stay the night in one of its luxury safari (狩猎) tents.
Climb the bridge
Nicknamed “the coathanger”, the Sydney Harbour Bridge opened in 1932. Like the Sydney Opera House, it was an engineering masterpiece that was way ahead of its time. Sure, you can walk or cycle across the bridge, but the best way to appreciate the architectural wonder is up close and personal.

The first time my parents watched me compete in a mountain bike race, they tried to get me to give up. While I was riding down a hill, I hit a huge rock, flew through the air and fell to the ground. However, this kind of thing happens all the time. I just got up as fast as I could, got back on my bike and kept going. And I won that race, despite taking quite a spill!
My earliest bike memories are of my father taking me out for rides in the child seat on the back of his ten-speed. A couple years later, I got my first bike. But my parents wouldn't let me ride more than a few blocks from the house until I was ten. The morning of my tenth birthday, I got my older sister to take me on a long ride. We ended up at my aunt's house. I was totally exhausted and every muscle in my body ached. But I didn't care. I knew that this was only the beginning, and all I could think about was where my next trip would take me.
When I was in the eighth grade, our gym teacher, Mr Raines, sent out a flyer about starting a mountain bike club. I signed up. Over the next few months, the ten of us who joined the club worked on our biking skills. Besides taking us out riding, Mr Raines taught us about bike safety, and showed us how to properly maintain and repair our bikes. He also helped us form a mountain bike team. At first, we competed against each other. Later, we went up against other schools. We continued to train and compete all through high school.
Biking has been the major focus of my life. Those early trips on the back of my father's bike got me started. The long rides with my sister increased my enthusiasm. Then, the training and competitions in the bike club guaranteed that I would turn into a lifelong bike fan. I think everyone should have a hobby like this — something that is good for them and makes them happy.

As a coder (程序员), Nand Vinchhi wanted to invent something that didn't require a device. He came up with the idea for a platform to translate sign language. “I've always been super interested in a better education system for everyone, especially in my country,” he says. “I wanted to do something through technology that would help.”
In just a few months, he developed the artificial-intelligence technology needed to translate American Sign Language (ASL) in real-time. It's basically a speech-to-text app for sign language. Here, hand movements are the speech.
The hardest part, Nand says, was figuring how to approach the problem. At times, he says, “I didn't know what to do.” When that happened, he would go to sleep. “In the morning, I tried again.”
Nand Vinchhi demonstrates (演示) how his translation tech works in his bedroom, where he spent long hours constructing the computer program. A camera identifies colorful, key points on arms and hands as they move. An algorithm matches these movements to words in American Sign Language, which are then spoken aloud.
For Nand, “sleeping on it” paid off. He decided to recognize body parts important in signing. This might be individual fingertips, for example. Using a machine-learning program, he then taught a computer to identify those key points in videos he took. The computer would compile data from many frames of the video. This created a dataset. Nand gathered lots of these datasets and then used an algorithm to look for differences between them. That allowed him to compare a sign to any of some 100 ASL words in that dataset.
His system now translates signs with 90.4 percent accuracy (准确度), he reported at the competition. The delay from signing to translation is only about three-tenths of a second. That's only a tenth of a second longer than the typical speech delay in video calls. The teen now plans to increase the accuracy and words available in the dataset.
语篇解读:本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了Nand Vinchhi是如何开发出实时翻译美国手语(ASL)所需的人工智能技术的。
8.Why did Nand develop the system?
A.To show his talent.
B.To help others.
C.To win an award.
D.To develop his interest.

B.It is exactly in real-time.
C.It is better than video calls.
D.It still needs some improvement.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The teen now plans to increase the accuracy and words available in the dataset.”可知,Nand的系统仍然需要一些改进。
11.What contributes to Nand Vinchhi's success?
A.His perseverance. B.Help from family.

Flowing through winding streets of London were smells, so common during the Great Plague (瘟疫) of the 17th century that they almost meant the plague itself, historians said. For hundreds of years, people believed that disease was spread not through tiny drops or insect bites, but through taking in unpleasant smells. To purify the air around them, they would burn rosemary and hot tar.
Now a team of historians and scientists from six European countries is seeking to identify and categorize the most common smells of daily life across Europe from the 16th century to the early 20th century and to study what changes in smells over time reveal about society.
The project will search through more than 250,000 images and thousands of texts, including medical textbooks, novels and magazines in seven languages. Researchers will use machine learning and AI to analyze references to smells. Once they are cataloged, researchers, working with chemists and perfumers, will re-create roughly 120 smells with the hope that museums will ___________ some of them into exhibits to make visits more immersive (沉浸式的) or memorable to museum-goers. The use of smells in exhibits could also make museums more accessible for blind people and those with limited sight, historians said.
incorporate
“With smell, you can open up questions about national culture, global culture and differences between communities,” said Dr Inger Leemans, a professor of cultural history at Vrije University Amsterdam. He said that introducing smells into museums or classrooms leads people to open up in discussions in ways they do not always do when discussing other issues of national identity. “It is such an open topic and what we want to do is think about how we can bring history to the nose.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。气味会随着时间的推移而发生变化,不仅会激起人们的回忆,还可能成为民族文化和身份的象征。
12.What does the author intend to do by paragraph 1?
A.Introduce the topic.
B.Put forward his argument.
C.Voice his opinion.
D.Offer detailed information.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,作者借助史学家之口,介绍数百年前生活在英国伦敦的人们焚烧迷迭香、焦油等物品来驱赶瘟疫似的“气味”,引出“气味”这一话题。
13.Why does the team carry out the project?
A.To study the effects of smells.
B.To develop a cure for plagues.
C.To find out the causes of the disease.
D.To help us learn about the past.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“... to study what changes in smells over time reveal about society.”以及第三段中的“Once they are cataloged, researchers ... historians said.”可知,研究并重现“历史上的气味”,是为了让人们对历史有更直观、更深刻的认识。
14.What does the underlined word “incorporate” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Include. B.Break.
C.Change. D.Create.
√
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的意思可知,一旦这些气味被分类,研究人员将与化学家和香水制造商合作,重现大约120种气味,希望博物馆将其中的一些气味融入展览中,使参观者更加身临其境。因此incorporate在此处表示“包含,并入”,与A项词义相近。
15.What's Dr Inger Leemans's attitude towards the project?
A.Sceptical. B.Ambiguous.
C.Supportive. D.Negative.
√
解析:观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“It is such an open topic and what we want to do is think about how we can bring history to the nose.”可推知,Dr Inger Leemans对待此项目的态度是支持的。
