Unit 1 单元话题阅读理解专项练习
(2022·湖南师大附中高二期中) Women scientists around the world have made significant contributions to Stem (science, technology, engineering, and maths). Here are four who pushed boundaries and changed the world.
Wu Chienshiung (1912— 1997)
Born in Taicang, Jiangsu province, Wu took part in the Manhattan Project which helped create the world’s first nuclear weapon. Her famous Wu experiment overturned the theory of parity in physics. This breakthrough led to a Nobel Prize that was awarded to her male colleagues, but Wu’s critical role in the work was overlooked.
Hedy Lamarr (1914—2000)
Austria-born Lamarr starred in a lot of Hollywood films and made great success. She was also super smart and a self-taught inventor. During the second world war, Lamarr together with George Antheil, a composer, developed a radio guidance system. The principle of their work is part of the basis of Bluetooth and wireless technology.
Katherine Johns (1918—2020)
African American NASA mathematician Johnson’s calculations were critical in getting the first US astronauts
to space and back safely. During her 33-year career at NASA, Katherine earned a reputation for mastering complex
calculations and was referred to as a “human computer” .
Tu Youyou (1930—)
Born in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, Tu shared the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with two other foreign scientists, for her work in discovering artemisinin, a drug used to treat malaria. Her work has saved millions of lives all over the world. Tu is the first Chinese Nobel winner in physiology or medicine and the first female citizen of the PRC to win a Nobel Prize.

by Michael Houghton, from the United Kingdom, and United States scientists Harvey J. Alter and Charles M. Rice, who all made notable contributions toward the discovery of the blood-born virus that causes chronic (慢 性的) liver problems.
Alter demonstrated in the 1970s that some people who received blood transfusions (输血) would develop cases of hepatitis that were not caused by the hepatitis A or B viruses, suggesting that another infectious agent was to blame. In the 1980s, Houghton managed to isolate (分离) the genetic sequence of the virus, while Rice proved that the pathogen(病原体) could replicate and cause infection. The World Health Organization estimates that around 71 million people worldwide live with hepatitis C, which can cause major liver complications (并发症) and, in some cases, death.
The Nobel Assembly said the three researchers had contributed to a “landmark achievement in the ongoing battle against viral diseases” . “The discovery ofhepatitis C virus revealed the cause ofthe remaining cases of chronic hepatitis and made blood tests and new medicines that have saved millions of lives possible, ” the assembly said in a statement. “Thanks to their discovery, highly sensitive blood tests for the virus are now available and these have essentially eliminated post-transfusion hepatitis in many parts of the world, greatly improving global health. ” The assembly said that the discoveries performed by the newly minted Nobel Laureates also allowed for the rapid development of antiviral drugs directed at hepatitis C ．“For the first time in history, the disease can now be cured, raising hopes of eradicating hepatitis C virus from the world population”, the statement said.
The award for physiology and medicine is the first of the Nobel Prizes to be handed out this year, with prizes in physics, chemistry, literature, peace and economics to follow during the next seven days.

(2022· 四川广安 · 高二期末) In 1945, 23-year-old Joan Hinton was one of the few female nuclear physicists joining in the Manhattan Project, an American project set up in 1942 to develop an atom bomb. Even as she rejoiced in the project’s success, she was deeply shocked when the U.S. dropped two bombs in Japan in 1945 during World War II. She then quit the project and left the U.S..
In 1948, she managed to travel to Yan’an, where she married her boyfriend Erwin Engst. Her husband got his first impressions of China from the book Red Star Over China by Edgar Snow. He came to China as a member of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration in 1946 and went on to serve as an expert on farm equipment in Yan’an. “My father kept on writing letters to my mom, telling her to come to China and that ‘China was about to climb a hill. If you arrive late, you’ll miss the bus’,” Fred Engst, son of Hinton, said.
Hinton and her husband lived a simple life in China. During her time in Yan’an, she only stood out as a foreigner, dressed in ordinary clothes. The villagers treated the U.S. scientist like they would be a family member. During one Chinese New Year’s party in the village she lived in, Hinton shared her sense of humor by amusing the locals with her performances using a northern Shaanxi dialect (方言).
The couple witnessed the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Hinton, who held high hopes of making milk available to the Chinese population, devoted herself to the improvement of agricultural machinery and the milk industry at large. She applied her scientific skills to developing a continuous-flow automatic milk pasteurizer (巴氏杀菌机) and tending to about 200 cows in the following years.

(2022· 宁夏·银川唐徕回民中学高二期末)Known as the “First Lady of Physics” and Queen of Nuclear (原 子核) Research, Chien-Shiung Wu was born in China in 1912 and came to the United States in 1936 to take part in the doctorate( 博士) rogram in nuclear physics at the University of Michigan. After learning that women were disrespected at the University of Michigan, she instead chose to go to the University of California Berkley.
During her earlier life in China, she had been an outstanding student whose love of learning had been encouraged by her father. By the time she arrived in the United States, she had already stood out in her undergraduate academic work and later during post-graduate research. At Berkley, she benefited from working with some of the top physicists in the country at that time. After one year at Berkley, she received a scholarship (奖学金) to Caltech. She completed her doctorate in 1940 and moved to the east coast. Unable to find a research position at a university, Wu became a physics instructor at Princeton University and at Smith College. In 1944, she joined the Manhattan Project where she began work on beta decay and uranium enrichment.
During the 1960’s, while at Columbia University, Wu began working with two other Chinese American scientists, Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen Ning Yang conducting research in the field of particle physics. Wu developed an experiment disproving (反驳) a hypothetical physical law called the conversation of parity. The Wu Experiment smoothed the way for her two colleagues to earn the Nobel Prize, an award for which she was overlooked, she believed, because she is a woman. In 1978, her work was finally recognized when she received the Wolf Prize, a $100,000 international award given to artists and scientists for achievements in the interest of mankind and friendly relations among people... no matter what his nationality, race, color, religion, sex or political views are.
She continued advancing her work in nuclear physics for many years and later joined in protecting women’s rights. She died in 1997 from a stroke.

(2022· 贵州 · 凯里一 中高二期末 ) At 5, Zhang Haidi found she had a spinal tumor and, due to three operations to remove it, she was left paralysed( 瘫痪) from chest down. However, with a strong will, she has extended the meaning of her life in many possible ways, and achieved much more than one might think is possible.
Not being able to go to school, Zhang taught herself to read and write. At 15, Zhang moved to a small village with her parents in 1970. There was no hospital and the villagers had to walk more than 10 km to see a doctor. She decided to make a change. She read medical books and practiced acupuncture (针灸) on herself. Soon she acquired enough medical knowledge to help villagers with basic treatments. During her years there, she treated more than 10,000 people for free.
Zhang also taught herself several foreign languages, including English, Japanese, German and Esperanto. To learn a new English word, she had to repeat it as many as 200 times. To expand her vocabulary, she wrote words on desks, mirrors and even lamps so she could recite them anytime anywhere. She later translated several works of Western literature into Chinese. She also wrote a double-language book called Beautiful English to tell about her experience learning English.
She has encouraged so many young people and was awarded the title of “Excellent Member of the Communist Youth League of China” in 1983. In 2018 she was elected president of the China Disabled Persons’ Federation. She has been using her position and influence to call for more rights for people with disabilities. Before and during the Beijing 2022 Paralympics, Zhang worked as executive president of the organizing committee to promote a barrier- free environment.

(2022· 湖南 · 高二期末) Sometimes a person who thinks in an unusual way can look at the world from a different point of view. Such was Richard Phillips Feynman, a role model change maker. Born in 1918, he began showing some unusual qualities.
The first sign of Feynman’s unique qualities was that he hadn’t yet spoken by age three. But young Feynman showed a talent for math and engineering. He enjoyed repairing household objects, and built a simple laboratory in his room. By the time he was in high school, he was experimenting things which were only taught to college students. After Richard Feynman graduated from high school in 1939, he studied at the MIT. Despite the fact that his grades in science and math were “the best that we’ve seen,” according to Princeton, he was almost rejected due to his very poor grades in writing and his Jewish religion. Finally, he was accepted and continued to study physics at Princeton where he got his PhD ． His lectures attracted many great scientists of the time, including Albert
Einstein.
At Princeton, Feynman began his most famous work: his work on nuclear weapons. He moved to a lab and not all of his work there has been released to the public, but we know he performed experiments related to uranium. After the war, Feynman taught at Cornell University, where he continued his studies. He was also awarded the Nobel Prize for his work in particle physics.
Then, in 1978, Feynman developed cancer and died a year later. Though Feynman and his work are honored by physicists across the world, his personal qualities and skills are what really makes him unique. Faced with all the challenges, he never gave up, doing work that he loved until the day he died.

(2022· 湖南 · 高二期末) Tu Youyou is a Chinese medical scientist, pharmaceutical (制药的) chemist, and educator best known for discovering artemisinin (also known as qinghao su). The discovery of artemisinin and its treatment of malaria are regarded as a significant breakthrough of tropical medicine in the 20th century and health improvement for people of tropical developing countries in South Asin, Africa, and South America.
For her work, Tu received the 2011 Lasker Award in Clinical Medicine and the 2015 Nobel prize in Physiology (生理学) or Medicine. The Nobel Committee puts Tu’s work well by writing: “Malaria infects close to 200 million individuals yearly. Artemisinin is used in all malaria-ridden parts of the world. When used in combination treatment, it is estimated to reduce the death rate from malaria by more than 20% overall and by more than 30% in children. For Africa alone, this means that more than 100, 000 lives are saved each year.”
In China, Tu is known as a “sanwu scientist” . Tu has spent no time studying abroad, no membership with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and no doctoral degree. The Xinhua News Agency has commented on the significance of Tu’s achievement, “Not only is Tu the first Chinese Nobel laureate (获奖者) in natural science, but also the first Nobel laureate who received all scientific training in China. The award she won made Chinese scientists gain tremendous confidence.”
As part of the program charged with finding a treatment for malaria, Tu was inspired by an ancient Chinese text which said qinghao was used to tackle intermittent fevers (间歇热) around 400 AD．In the herb Tu discovered a compound, now known as artemisinin, which proved an effective treatment for the infection. Tu herself volunteered to be the first human recipient.
An article Tu Youyou published in Nature in 2011 ended up with an insightful sentence. “It is my dream that Chinese medicine will help us conquer life-threatening diseases worldwide, and people across the globe will enjoy its benefits for health promotion,” Tu wrote.

by Michael Houghton, from the United Kingdom, and United States scientists Harvey J. Alter and Charles M. Rice, who all made notable contributions toward the discovery of the blood-born virus that causes chronic (慢 性的) liver problems.
Alter demonstrated in the 1970s that some people who received blood transfusions (输血) would develop cases of hepatitis that were not caused by the hepatitis A or B viruses, suggesting that another infectious agent was to blame. In the 1980s, Houghton managed to isolate (分离) the genetic sequence of the virus, while Rice proved that the pathogen(病原体) could replicate and cause infection. The World Health Organization estimates that around 71 million people worldwide live with hepatitis C, which can cause major liver complications (并发症) and, in some cases, death.
The Nobel Assembly said the three researchers had contributed to a “landmark achievement in the ongoing battle against viral diseases” . “The discovery ofhepatitis C virus revealed the cause ofthe remaining cases of chronic hepatitis and made blood tests and new medicines that have saved millions of lives possible, ” the assembly said in a statement. “Thanks to their discovery, highly sensitive blood tests for the virus are now available and these have essentially eliminated post-transfusion hepatitis in many parts of the world, greatly improving global health. ” The assembly said that the discoveries performed by the newly minted Nobel Laureates also allowed for the rapid development of antiviral drugs directed at hepatitis C ．“For the first time in history, the disease can now be cured, raising hopes of eradicating hepatitis C virus from the world population”, the statement said.
The award for physiology and medicine is the first of the Nobel Prizes to be handed out this year, with prizes in physics, chemistry, literature, peace and economics to follow during the next seven days.

(2022· 四川广安 · 高二期末) In 1945, 23-year-old Joan Hinton was one of the few female nuclear physicists joining in the Manhattan Project, an American project set up in 1942 to develop an atom bomb. Even as she rejoiced in the project’s success, she was deeply shocked when the U.S. dropped two bombs in Japan in 1945 during World War II. She then quit the project and left the U.S..
In 1948, she managed to travel to Yan’an, where she married her boyfriend Erwin Engst. Her husband got his first impressions of China from the book Red Star Over China by Edgar Snow. He came to China as a member of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration in 1946 and went on to serve as an expert on farm equipment in Yan’an. “My father kept on writing letters to my mom, telling her to come to China and that ‘China was about to climb a hill. If you arrive late, you’ll miss the bus’,” Fred Engst, son of Hinton, said.
Hinton and her husband lived a simple life in China. During her time in Yan’an, she only stood out as a foreigner, dressed in ordinary clothes. The villagers treated the U.S. scientist like they would be a family member. During one Chinese New Year’s party in the village she lived in, Hinton shared her sense of humor by amusing the locals with her performances using a northern Shaanxi dialect (方言).
The couple witnessed the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Hinton, who held high hopes of making milk available to the Chinese population, devoted herself to the improvement of agricultural machinery and the milk industry at large. She applied her scientific skills to developing a continuous-flow automatic milk pasteurizer (巴氏杀菌机) and tending to about 200 cows in the following years.
Hinton was truly devoted to everything she did, whether in nuclear physics or the milk industry.

(2022· 宁夏·银川唐徕回民中学高二期末)Known as the “First Lady of Physics” and Queen of Nuclear (原 子核) Research, Chien-Shiung Wu was born in China in 1912 and came to the United States in 1936 to take part in the doctorate( 博士) rogram in nuclear physics at the University of Michigan. After learning that women were disrespected at the University of Michigan, she instead chose to go to the University of California Berkley.
During her earlier life in China, she had been an outstanding student whose love of learning had been encouraged by her father. By the time she arrived in the United States, she had already stood out in her undergraduate academic work and later during post-graduate research. At Berkley, she benefited from working with some of the top physicists in the country at that time. After one year at Berkley, she received a scholarship (奖学金) to Caltech. She completed her doctorate in 1940 and moved to the east coast. Unable to find a research position at a university, Wu became a physics instructor at Princeton University and at Smith College. In 1944, she joined the Manhattan Project where she began work on beta decay and uranium enrichment.
During the 1960’s, while at Columbia University, Wu began working with two other Chinese American scientists, Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen Ning Yang conducting research in the field of particle physics. Wu developed an experiment disproving (反驳) a hypothetical physical law called the conversation of parity. The Wu Experiment smoothed the way for her two colleagues to earn the Nobel Prize, an award for which she was overlooked, she believed, because she is a woman. In 1978, her work was finally recognized when she received the Wolf Prize, a $100,000 international award given to artists and scientists for achievements in the interest of mankind and friendly relations among people... no matter what his nationality, race, color, religion, sex or political views are.
She continued advancing her work in nuclear physics for many years and later joined in protecting women’s rights. She died in 1997 from a stroke.

(2022· 贵州 · 凯里一 中高二期末 ) At 5, Zhang Haidi found she had a spinal tumor and, due to three operations to remove it, she was left paralysed( 瘫痪) from chest down. However, with a strong will, she has extended the meaning of her life in many possible ways, and achieved much more than one might think is possible.
Not being able to go to school, Zhang taught herself to read and write. At 15, Zhang moved to a small village with her parents in 1970. There was no hospital and the villagers had to walk more than 10 km to see a doctor. She decided to make a change. She read medical books and practiced acupuncture (针灸) on herself. Soon she acquired enough medical knowledge to help villagers with basic treatments. During her years there, she treated more than 10,000 people for free.
Zhang also taught herself several foreign languages, including English, Japanese, German and Esperanto. To learn a new English word, she had to repeat it as many as 200 times. To expand her vocabulary, she wrote words on desks, mirrors and even lamps so she could recite them anytime anywhere. She later translated several works of Western literature into Chinese. She also wrote a double-language book called Beautiful English to tell about her experience learning English.
She has encouraged so many young people and was awarded the title of “Excellent Member of the Communist Youth League of China” in 1983. In 2018 she was elected president of the China Disabled Persons’ Federation. She has been using her position and influence to call for more rights for people with disabilities. Before and during the Beijing 2022 Paralympics, Zhang worked as executive president of the organizing committee to promote a barrier- free environment.

(2022· 湖南 · 高二期末) Sometimes a person who thinks in an unusual way can look at the world from a different point of view. Such was Richard Phillips Feynman, a role model change maker. Born in 1918, he began showing some unusual qualities.
The first sign of Feynman’s unique qualities was that he hadn’t yet spoken by age three. But young Feynman showed a talent for math and engineering. He enjoyed repairing household objects, and built a simple laboratory in his room. By the time he was in high school, he was experimenting things which were only taught to college students. After Richard Feynman graduated from high school in 1939, he studied at the MIT. Despite the fact that his grades in science and math were “the best that we’ve seen,” according to Princeton, he was almost rejected due to his very poor grades in writing and his Jewish religion. Finally, he was accepted and continued to study physics at Princeton where he got his PhD ． His lectures attracted many great scientists of the time, including Albert
Einstein.
At Princeton, Feynman began his most famous work: his work on nuclear weapons. He moved to a lab and not all of his work there has been released to the public, but we know he performed experiments related to uranium. After the war, Feynman taught at Cornell University, where he continued his studies. He was also awarded the Nobel Prize for his work in particle physics.
Then, in 1978, Feynman developed cancer and died a year later. Though Feynman and his work are honored by physicists across the world, his personal qualities and skills are what really makes him unique. Faced with all the challenges, he never gave up, doing work that he loved until the day he died.
