Everything you can see around you was once an invention, but do you ever wonder who the brains behind them were Women have made numerous contributions throughout history, leaving an ever-lasting impact on society. Here are three things that were the brainchildren of women.
Spray-on skin by Dr Fiona Wood
Dr Fiona Wood introduced spray-on skin to the world in the 1990s. This changed the way in which burn victims used to be treated, as spray-on skin can be directly applied to wounds to form a new layer of skin that helps healing and reduces the risk of infection. Spray-on skin proved to be a popular game-changer that allowed burns and skin injuries to be treated more effectively and with less pain, and with Dr Wood’s constant improvements over the years, is now widely used in hospitals.
Modern ironing beard by Sarah Boone
Would you believe that clothing used to be ironed on wooden pieces balanced between chairs It wasn’t until dressmaker Sarah Boone came along that the modern ironing board was created in 1892. Though it seems like a simple invention, Boone put a lot of thought into it. Apart from solving the initial problem of uneven ironing, Boone also made the ironing board’s legs foldable for ease of storage.
Home security system by Marie Van Brittan Brown
If you have a home security system installed (安装) for peace of mind, you have Marie Van Brittan Brown to thank. Brown had worked as a nurse and often went home alone at late hours. To give herself a sense of security, she worked on the first home security system with Albert Brown, her husband. Brown’s invention laid the groundwork for modern-day CCTV, including camera images and a two-way microphone system. Needless to say, this invention was ahead of its time and yet another product of necessity.
21. What is spray-on skin used for
A. To improve victims’ health condition. B. To treat burns and skin injuries.
C. To prevent skin from being injured. D. To clean and cool down the burns.
22. Which words can best describe these inventions
A. Practical and well-thought. B. Digital and effective.
C. Tech-based and affordable. D. Complicated and widely-used.
23. What is the purpose of this text
A. To highlight advanced inventions. B. To encourage pioneering inventions.
C. To introduce significant inventions by women. D. To sing high praises for extraordinary women.
B
How do you get school pupils interested in poetry It is hard.
Glasgow-based performance poet Imogen Stirling has been on that mission in rural south-west Scotland over the past year or so. She admitted there had been an element of trick in her work. “I’ve learned that you just can never use the word poetry because that puts people off immediately,” she said. “To be honest, I had no interest in poetry when I was in school and I didn’t really resonate (引起共鸣) with the way that it was taught to me at all. So it did take me quite a long time from having sort of dipped into poetry at school to coming back to it because I really just didn’t think it was for me.”
However, there are ways to get it across. “I think it’s more about bringing out the performative elements and the storytelling elements,” she said. “We’re really fortunate in that there are so many artists who are blending (融合) poetry and raps, which is a much more accessible art form, I think.”
School visits are one part of her work in the region. “We come together once a month, to work together and help develop their skills as writers.” she said. “It is as much about skill development as it is about socializing with other writers and also locking on to see what a career in writing could look like.” Ms Stirling said poetry was more than producing work to end up in “some dusty books on a shelf”.
Her own journey into performance poetry has been an indirect one after studying theater and literature. “I’d worked abroad as a musician for a couple of years, then came back to Glasgow and found that this really rich performance poetry scene existed, which had never been there to my knowledge when I’d been here studying.” she said. “I fell into that and frequented (常去) a lot of open mic nights.”
Who knows, in the future, maybe some of her current students will be inspired to follow in her footsteps.
24. What did Ms Stirling think when at school
A. She would become a poet in the future. B. She hadn’t been taught poem skills.
C. She was often too honest to be tricked. D. She wasn’t suitable to learn poetry at all.
25. How does Ms Stirling probably teach students to learn poetry
A. By letting them act poems out. B. By analyzing the elements of poetry.
C. By turning poetry into popular raps. D. By inviting artists to talk about art.
26. What academic skills will students focus on during Ms Stirling’s visits
A. The judgment of a career in writing. B. The skills of writing poems.
C. The ability to communicate with writers. D. The need to read dusty books on the shelf.
27. What attracted Ms Stirling back to Glasgow
A. The colorful night life. B. The familiar local environment.
C. The sufficient scenes to perform poetry. D. The performance chance as a musician.
C
Researchers at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) have created a chameleon-like (变色龙般的) material for construction that changes its infrared (红外的) color, as well as how much heat it absorbs or gives off, depending on the surrounding temperature.
The material is identified as chameleons, which are recognized for their ability to adapt to their surroundings. On hot days, for example, the material can expel up to 92 percent of the infrared heat it contains, assisting in cooling the inside of a building. On colder days, the material releases only 7% of its infrared heat, which helps keep a building warm.
“We’ve essentially figured out a low-energy way to treat a building like a person; you add a layer when you’re cold and take off a layer when you’re hot,” said Asst. Prof. Po-Chun Hsu who led the study. “This kind of smart material lets us maintain the temperature in a building without huge amounts of energy.”
Buildings are projected to use 30% of the energy produced in the world and contribute 10% of greenhouse gas emissions (排放). About half of this carbon footprint is used for heating and cooling inner spaces. “For a long time, most of us have taken our indoor temperature control for granted without thinking about how much energy it requires,” said Hsu. “If we want a carbon-negative future, I think we have to consider diverse methods to control building temperature in a more energy-efficient way.”
Researchers have described how the material can quickly change between the metal and liquid states. Moreover, they demonstrated that even after 1,800 cycles, the ability to change between the two states was still effective.
The team created models of their material’s potential to lower energy costs in buildings in15 different cities, and they concluded that in a typical office building, the electricity needed to control the changes in the material would account for less than 0.2 percent of the building’s total electrical consumption. However, it might reduce the facility’s annual energy use by 8.4%.
28. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 2
A. To hide. B. To give off. C. To take in. D. To consume.
29. What is one way to have a carbon-negative future according to Po-Chun Hsu
A. To develop more smart materials. B. To take off a layer of the buildings.
C. To give more layers to the buildings. D. To control building temperature smartly.
30. What can be inferred from paragraph 5
A. The material is metal. B. The material is liquid.
C. The material is wearable. D. The material is time-proof.
31. Which may be the best title for the text
A. Great New Material That Saves Energy
B. America Cuts Down the Electricity Consumption
C. New Chameleon-like Building Material to Save Energy
D. The Chameleon Gives Scientists Inspiration to Develop New Material
D
Voluntourism is a type of tourism in which travellers participate in volunteer work, usually for a charity or a non-profit, Most often, voluntourists travel for the specific purpose of volunteering in an organized way for specific causes, but others simply include volunteer aspects to a traditional vacation experience.
Much like sustainable tourism as a whole, the legitimacy (合法性) or success of a voluntourism program depends highly on how it is managed. When done the right way, it can help communities grow and truly provide benefits to a specific cause. But it’s up to the individual volunteer, too, who has the added responsibility of staying informed and setting their destinations up for success. Ken Budd, author of the award-winning memoir The Voluntourist, says that countless organizations around the world create lasting results. The writer, who volunteered in at least six countries, speaks for it, such as teaching English in a Costa Rican elementary school that relied on volunteers when they couldn’t afford teachers.
However, not all voluntourism programs are helping. A reporter for The New York Times wrote in 2016 about their experience with a group of people building a school in Haiti: “These people knew nothing about how to construct a building. Collectively they had spent thousands of dollars to fly here to do a job that Haitian bricklayers could have done far more quickly. Imagine how many classrooms might have been built if they had donated that money rather than spending it to fly down themselves. Perhaps those Haitian bricklayers could have found weeks of employment instead of out of a job, at least for several days.”
If an organization can get free labor from an unskilled volunteer, they’re not spending money hiring locals to do the same work for a fee. In a poverty-stricken economy where residents are already struggling to find jobs, funds that go towards digging a well or building a school will have more of an impact if they stay within the local economy. Taking work from locals can prevent developing communities from self-establishment. Not to mention, volunteers who are untrained in whatever service they are providing can sometimes actually end up holding back progress.
32. How does the author introduce the topic “voluntourism”
A. By explaining its origin. B. By presenting its concept.
C. By discussing its classification. D. By sorting out its causes.
33. What helps guarantee the success of a voluntourism program according to the passage
A. The purpose and legitimacy of a program.
B. Participants’ previous voluntary experience.
C. The degree of involvement of each volunteer.
D. Proper control of the program and responsible volunteers.
34. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Voluntourists’ donations to their destinations.
B. The enthusiasm of people for rebuilding Haiti.
C. The invisible problem brought by voluntourists.
D. Voluntourists’ determination to make contributions.
35. What’s the author’s attitude to voluntourism
A. Objective. B. Indifferent, C. Favorable. D. Disapproving.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。
Imagine a friend has just asked how you’re feeling. You’re clearly upset but unable to express how you really feel. It’s incredibly difficult to understand how you feel and why. Yet, research shows that understanding your own emotions is essential to maintaining good mental health. 36 But it gets easier with practice.
Practice daily self-reflection
Self-reflection develops emotional awareness and is key to understanding why you feel the way you do. Activities such as journaling can be really beneficial in leaning about your thought processes. Free-writing, where you write out everything that’s on your mind without judgement, can be used to explore deeper into your thoughts and feelings. Think of it like getting into a car and just driving. 37
Turn to mindfulness
38 There are many ways to be mindful, from practising breathwork to sitting in silence Where emotional awareness is concerned, meditation (冥想), which can aid clarity, is recommended. Doing this regularly allows you to be more aware of the source of your emotions. Moreover, it enables you to come up with ways to manage them more effectively.
39
Sometimes what you really struggle with is putting your emotions into words. It can be difficult to feel heard by others if you don’t have the language. Try consulting The Emotion Wheel, developed by Dr Robert Plutchick in 1980. 40 It gives you a specific name for what you’re feeling, which is an excellent starting point for working through it.
Reflecting on the messy and difficult emotions, you can not only find relief from those uncomfortable feelings but bring more joy and fulfilment into your lives too.
A. Name what you’re feeling.
B. Mask your real emotions.
C. Go ahead, and get it all out on paper
D. Being aware of your emotions is hugely beneficial.
E. Being honest with yourself for the first time may prove tough.
F. It identifies eight primary emotions at the centre of the wheel.
G. It’s a process of bringing your attention to the present moment.

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。
At the age of twenty, I began to work at the Children’s zoo. Orphaned (使…成为孤儿的) members of the local native wildlife were brought to our zoo for care. The baby seals in our care were kept in the back building. My partner Ross had been working here for three years. He taught me a lot of methods to take care of the seals. Twice a day, we would bring them out to the man-made pond and allow them to swim. The pond was at the bottom of a waterfall of fresh, cold water.
One day, as I walked in the freezing water with two baby seals, visitors gathered to watch. The seals stayed close to me. From time to time, they surfaced to take a breath and look around. A few minutes later, I saw a boy pointing at one and calling to his mother to come and see.
As I walked around, the boy yelled, “Hey! Where’s the other one ”
While one of the seals was near my leg, my eyes searched the pond for the other, Emileo. The water was clear and it was soon obvious Emileo was not where he should be. My heart skipped a beat as I realized he had swum under the rocks, which were there to hide the drain (排水管). There was a small. fist-sized hole on one end of the rocks, and another hole, just large enough for a baby seal, on the other end. But I was quite certain that the inside area was too narrow for Emileo to tum around in.
“Oh no!” yelled the boy. “The little seal is under the rocks and can’t get out!”
I immediately dove under the water and felt that small hole. Sure enough, Emileo was trying to get through it. And then, Ross came to the rescue. He dove under and attempted to reach Emileo through the larger opening, but he could not even touch it.
“Ok, Frederick,” he said to me. “Dive under and push him back as far as you can. I’ll try to grab him from this side. Ready Go!” he commanded.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
I held my breath, found Emileo still near the small opening and pushed as hard as I could. When the mother was comforting the boy, Ross burst out of the water, holding Emileo in hands, which looked very weak.
