五、阅读理解。
Close your eyes and picture a scientist. Does an image of a man show up in your mind
It is hard to ignore that even in the 21st century, the “scientist equals male” stereotype(成见) is still there. In the science world, women’s voices are often unheard.
According to UNESCO, only 35 percent of global STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) students in higher education are women. In pursuing science and technology careers, women are more likely to be treated unfairly because of their motherhood and skin color, noted Teen Vogue.
In November, at the 4th World Laureates Forum(世界顶尖科学家论坛) held in Shanghai, some of the world’s top female scientists announced an initiative(倡议), encouraging institutions around the world to promote gender equality(性别平等) in STEM areas.
“Role models of women scientists need to be better represented on important international stages and allow their voices to be heard as a way to encourage youths,” Lenore Blum, a female scientist from the US, said at the forum.
In December, Talk With Lu Jian, a Chinese TV show, launched a series of programs under the title of She Power in Tech. The show interviewed Chinese female scientists, including geneticist(遗传学家) Fu Qiaomei at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lü Zhi, a professor of life sciences at Peking University, and Rong Yi, a chief designer of the Long March 2F rocket.
“These female scientists share a strong passion for science,” said Lu Jian, the TV show’s host. “They are making a pathway(通道) for the next women scientists.”
Actions should also be taken to create a better environment for women working in the field of science and technology, noted Science and Technology Daily. For example, they should be given more resources, join in decision-making and gain support for their research during maternity(生育).

六、任务型阅读。
Over the past billions of years, many animals and plants have lived on this beautiful planet. But about 99.9 percent of them died out. This is because they couldn’t adapt to （适应） where they lived. To survive, living things must change over time. This is called evolution（进化）.
When reading this article, please remember that every one of us is a lucky dog. We evolve, and we survive! After years of evolution, now we have the abilities to live in the world and enjoy it. Just like humans, other animals on-Earth also evolve great abilities. For example, giraffes live on the grassland of Africa. To adapt to life there, they have evolved longer necks to reach the high trees, as well as longer legs to run away from lions and cheetahs（猎豹）.
However, evolution also gives giraffes a strange habit: They only sleep for about 30 minutes a day and less than 5 minutes a time, and they sleep standing! Why are they so wakeful Well, that’s because they are so tall. They need longer time getting off the ground and run. Because of this special sleep style, they won’t become easy meals for others.
As you see, evolution isn’t always perfect. It helps animals to live, but it sometimes also gives them what they don’t really want. Don’t feel sorry. It’s part of natural selection（选择）. In order to survive, all of this is necessary.
