Ⅴ.阅读理解
A
In 1957 a group of physicists gathered in a lecture hall to be addressed by a Chinese American woman.As she told her recent experiment and its results,the response was dead silence for two minutes,then a thunderous applause continued for ten minutes.The woman was Chien-Shiung Wu,known as the First Lady of Physics,who transformed nuclear science through her work on the Manhattan Project and other groundbreaking experiments.
Born in 1912,Wu was unlike many Chinese women of her time,and received a formal education.Fascinated by new discoveries and the story of women scientists,she entered the university to study physics and began scientific studies.
It was a time of rapid change in both the field of physics and China.Domestic unrest and a bad relationship with Japan made life at home uneasy.With the help of an uncle,she immigrated to the United States for graduate school.
Wu planned to go to the University of Michigan,but a tour of the University of California,Berkeley — and word that a student center at Michigan did not allow female students to enter through the front door — changed her mind.At Berkeley Wu was visible for her gender and race,her male colleagues commenting as much on her appearance as her keen mind.She quickly gained a reputation and became an expert in the newly discovered phenomenon of nuclear fission(核裂变).
After graduation,she headed to Smith College to teach women physics.During World War Ⅱ Wu went to Princeton University,where she became the physics department’s first female instructor.But shortly after her arrival,her career took an unexpected turn in 1944.She ended up joining the staff at Columbia University on a top-secret research program now known as the Manhattan Project.
1.Why did the lecture cause a thunderous applause?
A.Because the lecture was boring.
B.Because the lecture was humorous.
C.Because the lecture was excellent.
D.Because the lecture was common.
2.What inspired Wu to study physics?
A.The formal education she received.
B.The success of women scientists.
C.The background of her family.
D.The rapid change in the field of physics.
3.What happened to Wu in America?
A.She was looked down on at Berkeley.
B.She went to the University of Michigan at first.
C.She taught women physics at Princeton University.
D.She joined a top-secret research program at Columbia University.
4.Which of the following best describes Wu as a scientist?
A.Modest and independent.
B.Creative and warm-hearted.
C.Responsible and cautious.
D.Committed and ambitious.

College professors these days face an ever-higher bar to grab the attention of their students.Yet,Tatiana Erukhimova,who teaches physics at Texas A&M University in the United States,has managed to get her students excited about science.
Known as “Dr.Tatiana”,the professor performs physics tricks with boundless energy and enthusiasm.Videos of her theatrical demonstrations have racked up(积累) hundreds of millions of views across social media platforms.In the videos,Erukhimova uses a range of everyday objects in her experiments,from ping-pong balls and toilet paper to bicycle wheels and hair dryers.
It’s clear that she knows what it takes to get young people excited about a hard science.But it isn’t always that way.When she first started teaching college freshman classes almost two decades ago,she struggled to grab the attention of her younger students.She was used to teaching juniors and found it easier to teach them.“In junior year,students enrolled in physics are determined to learn,” she says.“But when it comes to teaching a large lecture hall of 100-plus first-year students,first impressions are important.Unfortunately,I did not grab their attention on the first day—that was my mistake.”
In the second semester,she found her footing,adjusting her approach to make her lecture halls feel smaller and get her students engaged.“Talk to your students before and after class.Walk up and down the stairs when you teach your class rather than stay on the stage,”she says.“And add showy demonstrations,which helps students connect the abstract concepts with real life.”
Erukhimova has earned more than just recognition on social media.In October 2023,she was honored with a national award for science outreach for leadership in bringing the excitement of physics through innovative education programs.
5.What can we infer about Erukhimova from the first two paragraphs?
A.She likes to play a trick on her students.
B.She wants to be popular on social media.
C.She excites widespread interest in science.
D.She is passionate about making online videos.
6.Why did Erukhimova find it easier to teach juniors?
A.Juniors showed a higher level of commitment to learning.
B.She didn’t have to worry about first impressions.
C.She used simpler teaching methods for juniors.
D.Juniors could study entirely on their own.
7.How did Erukhimova find her footing in the second semester?
A.By improving her communication skills.
B.By following a traditional teaching method.
C.By reducing the number of students in the class.
D.By making herself approachable and her teaching engaging.
8.Which of the following best describes Erukhimova?
A.Ambitious. B.Enthusiastic.
C.Demanding. D.Hardworking.

It’s not so long ago that contactless card payments were exciting and new,but the technology is already old-hat.The new,better way to pay for things in shops?By using your phone to make a contactless payment.
Because traditionally,when you have paid with a card tap(轻敲) or using a chip and pin machine,ultimately the shop you are buying from will be noting down all of your card details. 1 And this could be a problem—it means that if the shop is hacked(侵入) or plays fast and loose with its data,you could find your card number exposed to the world.
However,when you tap to pay with your device,it generates a unique ID number for that deal and sends that instead.So you can pay for your goods and the shop can get your money. 2 That is to say,phone payments are smarter.
3 If a pickpocket steals your card he can immediately use up the money.But if he gets your phone,when the phone goes to pay it will typically perform a biometric check—it will ask for a finger-print or use the camera to look at your face,to check that you are who you say you are.
4 Because of this added security,the limit is typically higher than for contactless cards.In the UK,it’s around £100 for most retailers—though some shops including most supermarkets let you spend much more with just a tap of the phone.
Want to give it a try?To actually set things up,go to your Wallet app and follow the instructions. 5 Then it will automatically recognise the numbers and connect with your bank.Usually you receive a text message with a special code on it.And then,well,you’re done.When you pay,hold your phone over the payment machine,and pay for your goods!
A.It helps to build the client list.
B.The setup process varies with banks.
C.No one needs to share any sensitive data.
D.It’s also more effective against the threat of thefts.
E.And phone payments are increasingly convenient too.
F.Typically this starts by scanning your card with your phone.
G.Therefore,it knows which bank account to take the money from.
