Women Who Shaped Modern Science
Dorothy Hodgkin
Starting at Oxford's Women's College, Hodgkin moved over to Cambridge where she spent time studying X-ray crystallography (晶体学). After returning back to Oxford, Hodgkin spent years perfecting X-ray crystallography. This led to her confirmation of the penicillin structure by Ernst Boris Chain and Edward Abraham and the discovery of vitamin B12 structure.
Catherine Coleman
Catherine Coleman is a living example of the impact women have on the world of science. Following a career in chemistry and as a former United States Air Force officer, Coleman was selected to join the NASA Astronaut Corps. She has two Space Shuttle missions to her name including Expedition 27 to the International Space Station — the final mission to the ISS with the Space Shuttle Endeavour.
Rosalind Franklin
Rosalind Franklin was an English chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose work on DNA, RNA and viruses formed the basis for Watson and Crick's DNA work that won them a Nobel Prize in 1962, sadly after she had already passed away. Working as a researcher at King's College in London, she took an X-ray photograph of B-DNA, famously known as Photo 51, which served as the basis for the identification of the DNA structure.
Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin
A British-American astronomer and astrophysicist, Cecilia stretched the boundaries of thought in her PhD thesis with an explanation of stars as relative quantities of helium and hydrogen. Following the completion of her PhD, Cecilia studied the stars to understand the structure of the Milky Way. Through her studies, she and her team made well over three million observations that help us understand our galaxy today.

(2026·成都模拟)Huang Yahui, 40, has been fascinated by nature since she was engaged in adventurous outdoor activities in her youth. In 2011, she chanced_upon a life-changing opportunity to volunteer with a research team led by Ma Ming, a professor at the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Having been involved in fieldwork for several months alongside the team, Huang immersed herself in butterfly observation and conservation efforts. The brief experience deepened her interest in environmental preservation and helped shape her future career.
“When the fragile golden creature, raised under our care, spread its wings and soared into the sky, I felt a deep sense of responsibility to protect the ecological environment of my hometown and preserve its biodiversity,” recalled Huang, a native of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
With a strong passion for butterflies, over the past decade, Huang has actively worked to record their habitats and compile (编纂) ecological conservation reports, documenting hundreds of butterfly species. From March to November each year, Huang and her colleagues live and work outdoors, trekking through the forests, mountains and plateaus across Xinjiang, equipped with camping gear, cameras, binoculars and notebooks.
Huang is now a full-time wildlife conservationist and co-founder of a nature conservation and science popularization center, which focuses on heightening environmental awareness and conservation efforts.
“Butterflies are highly sensitive to slight climatic variations throughout their life cycle from egg to larva to imago,” Huang explained. “Therefore, changes in their population structure, numbers, phenological period (物候期), habits and habitats can reflect regional climate change,” she said.
However, due to the high diversity and abundance of butterfly species, as well as the migratory patterns and regional variability among certain species, it is insufficient to rely solely on scientific researchers for butterfly observation. According to Ma, ecological conservation organizations play a vital role in establishing butterfly observation networks. And over the years, Huang's team has actively contributed to this effort.
8.Which is closest in meaning to “chanced upon” in paragraph 1?
A.Got across. B.Came across.
C.Took upon. D.Looked upon.
9.What can be learned about Huang's volunteer experience in 2011?
A.It required her to protect wildlife.
B.It impacted her career choice.
C.It sparked her enthusiasm for outdoor expeditions.
D.It taught her survival skills in the wild.
10.What challenges scientific researchers in butterfly observation?
A.The complex landscape in the wild.
B.Expensive observation equipment.
C.Unpredictable weather changes.
D.The rich varieties of the butterfly.
11.What does Ma think of Huang's co-founded center?
A.It helps professionals to monitor slight climate changes.
B.It assists in making high quality butterfly documentaries.
C.It contributes to constructing a butterfly watching system.
D.It aids in establishing professional outdoor camping sites.

(2026·深圳模拟)Role models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research shows that scientists who work hard are more inspiring than those who seem naturally smart.
In a few studies, researchers found that young people are more motivated by scientists whose success comes from hard work than those who seem naturally brilliant, even if that scientist is Albert Einstein.
Danfei Hu, a student at Pennsylvania State University, and Janet N. Ann, a professor at William Paterson University, said their findings could help explain what it takes to succeed in science. Their research was recently published in a science journal.
Many students want to study science in school, but some give up on science careers after college. To help with this problem, Hu and Ann looked at role models, who can show students what goals to aim for and how to achieve them.
The researchers did two studies, one with 176 people and the other with 162 people. In the first study, everyone read the same story about a scientist's struggles. Half were told it was about Einstein, and the other half were told it was about Thomas Edison. Even though the stories were the same, people thought Einstein's success was because he was a genius. But those who thought the story was about Edison were more motivated to solve math problems.
Hu said, “People usually see Einstein as a genius, and they think his success is because he was super talented.” But Edison is known for trying over 1,000 times to make the light bulb, and his success is linked to hard work. Hu added, “If students know that hard work can lead to great things, they'll be more confident in pursuing science careers.”
12.What kind of scientists is more inspiring?
A.Those who made important discoveries.
B.Those who were born with a gift.
C.Those who are viewed as great inventors.
D.Those who are famous for their hard work.
13.What is the concern in the science community?
A.The students will drop out of school soon.
B.There are fewer role models for students to follow.
C.Fewer students will continue to work on science.
D.Some scientists cannot give students specific goals.
14.Why were some participants motivated to complete a series of maths problems?
A.They knew the problems were given by Edison.
B.They believed they could solve the problems by working hard.
C.They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein.
D.They knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison.
15.What is the best title for the text?
A.Einstein Is Less Encouraging Than Edison
B.Einstein's Success Story
C.How to Be a Great Scientist
D.Edison's Achievements Are Greater

(2026·武汉模拟)By my early 40s, I had tried every hobby meant to ease the transition into middle age: learning a new language, an abandoned project, and even yoga.__16__ So, in a moment of low-grade desperation, I decided to try ballet.
“But you're not very flexible,” my husband gently reminded me.He wasn't wrong.My history with physical activities — badminton, cycling, swimming — hadn't exactly been promising.__17__
Before my first class at the National Ballet School in Toronto, I grabbed a headband from my drawer.I was clearly aware that I was going to stand in front of a mirror with all my postural (体态的) problems on display.__18__ I didn't expect much from the class, but to my surprise, the things that had driven me away as a 10-year-old now brought me joy: the repetitive exercises, the physical effort, and the teacher's critical eye.
Though I expected my legs to ache, what I didn't expect was how my teacher's command to “take up more space” would change my way of being in the world.___19__ As a writer, this felt like the best advice I'd ever received.
__20__ At 50, I'm a ballerina — not the kind you'd see on stage, but someone who moves and breathes with purpose, marveling (惊叹于) at my body's possibilities, imperfections and all.
A.Nothing seemed to stick.
B.Then I might as well do it in style.
C.I had expected my classes to be physically demanding.
D.Now, I'm what you might call a lifelong advanced beginner.
E.I quickly realised ballet required more discipline than I had.
F.But I determined to prove my body could still move with elegance.
G.Ballet, he reminded me, isn't about perfection, but working towards it.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(2026·绍兴模拟)For years, swimming was one of those things where I thought: “I'm not good at it, and I never will be.” That thought lingered there most of my childhood.
This all changed last year when the company I worked for announced that they were going to arrange a swimrun, a race where you partially swim and partially run to finish the race.Of course, it was a voluntary activity and I was not going to participate.
However, as the weeks progressed, I started thinking to myself.“What would it feel like to break through my comfort zone and finally face my insecurity?” To help the swimrun participants prepare for the race, the company arranged an opportunity to learn how to swim freestyle with a swim instructor.I ultimately decided to at least participate in the first swimming lesson.
I was mentally prepared to be the worst student during the lesson.However, as it turned out, I had plenty of co-workers that were equally bad at swimming.After a few swimming lessons, I even got compliments for how quickly I managed to improve.Not only had I shattered my old belief about my disability in water, but something else had started to stir.I had gotten a taste for swimming and was curious to see where it could lead me.“How would it feel like to be completely comfortable in the water?” I wondered.
I started going to the public bathhouse to practice the few tips I had gotten from the swimming instructor.I'd watch videos and try and mimic the movements by myself in the water to the best of my abilities.
Without a doubt — in the beginning, I looked like a drowning monkey.I would swim; I would sink, coughing up water, and repeat it all over again.I'd get yelled at for swimming too slow at the freestyle range.However, I was so focused on the process and the soon-to-be new skillset that I did not get discouraged by the slow progress nor the occasional scolding.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
The thoughts of gliding through water effortlessly was what kept me going.
Regarding the swimrun, I eventually decided to participate.

参考范文:
The thoughts of gliding through water effortlessly was what kept me going.At a certain point, I hit a plateau. So, I decided to contact my swimming instructor for more swimming lessons.Under his guidance, I started to practice more by myself.Some days, I would come back seriously wondering if my body constitution was meant for swimming at all.On other days, I would feel fantastic while completing my laps.Still, there was one single thing that stood out during my practice sessions: while repeating thousands and thousands of crawling strokes, I slowly but surely started to enjoy the process of swimming thoroughly.
Regarding the swimrun, I eventually decided to participate.For me, this challenge was pushing me to my limits, as I had been utterly scared to confront this weakness of mine.The race began, and soon I was completely breathless from the physical exertion.However, I solely focused on all the movements I had been practicing repetitively throughout the summer.Before I knew it, I had finished.The swimrun had been my end goal but I already knew by then that I was going to continue swimming. I wished my childhood self could meet my present-day self to see that I was not naturally bad at swimming.It was possible to change and surpass the boundaries of my comfort zone.
