[河北武邑中学2020高一月考]WHAT are scientists？They are often described as grey-haired white-coated dull scholars.
But the world has changed. Young scientists are making their voices heard and releasing their powers on the world stage.
This is also true in China. Rising stars include new materials expert Gong Yongji, university professor Liu Mingzhen，and biologist Wan Ruixue.
At the age of 28 in 2018.Wan Ruixue received the 2018 Science&SciLifelLab Prize for Young Scientists. This is a global prize to reward outstanding scientists at the early stages of their careers.
She focuses mainly on Biomedicine（生物医学）and Molecular Biology（分子生物学）. “Both are cutting-edge（尖端的）technologies at an early stage of development,” she said.
So, I think they have great potential for being developed. I think in the study of cutting-edge technologies. China and other leading countries in the world are standing at the same starting line. And in the study of Structural Biology, China is likely to become the leader.”
She felt it was her fate to become a biologist. “I grew interested in the natural world when I was young,” she said. In 2009, she entered Sun Yat-sen University.
In her third year at university, she realised that she wanted to do something related to biomedicine. So she e-mailed Chinas top biologist Shi Yigong, hoping to join his lab at Tsinghua University.
Shi recognised her talent and welcomed her. Years of efforts at the lab have paid off. Her research on the high-definition 3D structure of spliceosome led to a scientific breakthrough.
Unlike many of other young scientists who choose to pursue further study abroad, Wan currently has no plan to go overseas.
“The whole ecosystem for scientific research is continually improving in China,” she said, adding that the country has great science facilities.
1. What does the underlined word “releasing” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Giving out.
B. Getting over.
C. Finding out.
D. Taking over.
2. What does Wan Ruixue feel about the study of cutting-edge technologies in China
A. Anxious.
B. Confident.
C. Disappointed.
D. Satisfied.
3. What can we learn about Wan Ruixue’s journey of becoming a biologist
A. Her teacher led her into the field.
B. She finds it’s easier than she thought.
C. Her contribution has been recognized.
D. She thinks it's boring but worth trying.
4. Which can be the best title of the text
A. China’s Breakthrough in science
B. Rising Young Scientists in China
C. Successful Chinese scientists
D. New Image of Chinese Scientists

Could you imagine what it would be like if there were no other ways to get around except by using your feet？Not only would you wear out a lot of shoes but it would take you a long time to get anywhere.
1 But that’s just the wheel；did you know that the earliest boats were dugout canoes（独木舟） People lit a fire on a big log（原木）and then put the fire out and dug out the burnt wood!
Then there were the Egyptians, who invented the sailing boat，but this could only be used in one direction. 2 Later the clever Romans came along and built their famous network of roads across the Roman Empire. 3
Some of the roads did not last very long and they soon became dirt tracks（小路）. People travelled on road by waggon（马车），but most things would be taken by sea in the 16th century. In the 19th century, some of the forms of transport that you know today were invented—the bike and the car. 4 The first underground railway the world was built in London。
As it got easier to travel，people wanted to get to other places faster. 5 It was first used in the war，but now it has become an indispensable（不可或缺的）way of transport.
A. Then the aeroplane came into being.
B. Do you know when the car was invented？
C. How many kinds of transport can you name？
D. In addition，travel was made much easier by railways.
E. If the wind was blowing in another direction then they had to row the boat.
F. So the Roman army could march from one part of the empire to another quickly！
G. You really need to thank a few people for saving your poor shoes，like the person who invented the wheel！

Modern inventions have speeded up people’s lives amazingly. Motor cars 1 a hundred miles in more than an hour and aircraft cross the world within a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of 2 seems never-ending. Every year motor cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts（吹嘘）of 3 precious seconds on handling tasks.
All these save time but at a cost. When we lose or 4 half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane，our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet lag（飞行时差综合征）.Our bodies feel that they have been 5 behind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at 6 results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers：too much use may transmit harmful 7 into our brains.
However how do we 8 the time we have saved？Certainly not relax，or so it seems. We are so used to constant activity that we find it 9 to sit down and do nothing or even just one thing at a 10 . Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen 11 to a story on the radio，letting imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation（耕作）of the 12 or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there；their lives went on at a much gentler pace. There is much that we might envy about a 13 of life like this Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors 14 . Modern machines have 15 people from that primitive existence.
