一、阅读理解
There are many scientific breakthroughs made by women in the Antarctic. Here are four landmarks in Antarctica and they’re named for the female pioneers.
Jones Terrace(梯田)
The ice-free terrace in eastern Antarctica’s Victoria Land bears Jones name. In 1969, geochemist Lois M. Jones led the first all-female research team from the US to work in Antarctica. Jones and her team studied chemical weathering(风化作用)in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, an ice-free area of Antarctica. Through chemical analyses of rocks they had collected,Jones and her team discovered many geochemical characteristics of the valley’s ice-covered lakes.
Mount Fineness
8,202-foot-high Mount Fineness,located on Antarctica’s largest island—Alexander Island-is named for Ginny Fineness. She established and maintained 80-foot-tall radio towers in the Antarctic. In 1985, Fineness became the first female invited to join the Antarctic Club, a British supper club open to individuals who have spent extended time in the Antarctic region. Francis Peak
Francis Peak
The 3,727-foot-tall peak on Antarctica’s Adelaide Island is named after Dame Jane Francis,who is the first female director of the British Antarctic Survey, the national polar research institute of the UK. Her collection of fossils on Seymour Island helped conclude in a 2021 paper that Antarctica’s abundant plant fossils indicate the continent once had a much warmer climate than it currently does.
Peden Cliffs
Peden Cliffs near Antarctica’s Marie Byrd Land are proof of the labor of Irene Peden. She was the first American female scientist to both live and work in the Antarctic,where she used radio waves to study ice sheets. Peden and her team determined how very low frequency radio waves spread over long polar distances by measuring pathways in the ice. They also used varying radio wave frequencies to measure the thickness of Antarctica’s ice sheets.
1、Which of the following is named after a builder of radio towers in the Antarctic
A. Peden Cliffs. B. Francis Peak.
C. Mount Fineness. D. Jones Terrace.
2、Who helped prove the previous higher temperatures of the Antarctica
A. Irene Peden. B. Dame Jane Francis.
C. Ginny Fineness. D. Lois M.Jones.
3、What was special about Irene Peden according to the text
A. She could judge the thickness of Antarctica’s ice sheets.
B. She discovered a lot of ice-covered lakes in the Antarctic.
C. She was the first female American to explore the Antarctic.
D. She correctly measured the spreading speed of radio waves.
Seyton Thomas is a college student with a heart of giving. She has experienced challenges in her life that sculpted her drive to light a spark in young children from all backgrounds to develop leadership, perseverance, compassion and self-love. She says, “Service is what saved me, and I hope that this is a message that I can spread to the youth across the world.”
During the pandemic, Seyton Thomas organized a diverse group of young people to help a local crisis center. The Community Crisis Center in Miami, Oklahoma, is a home that gives shelter and other services to women and children who are suffering from domestic abuse. The crisis center depends on volunteers to help the women and children receive encouragement and a break from stress, but the pandemic made volunteer interaction difficult.
Seyton got the idea from the crisis center director of painting encouraging messages on stones and hiding them in the lawn of the crisis center for the children to find. Seyton pulled together other students from the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society and her college soccer team. Together the young people collected stones, painted kind messages and filled two boxes full of fun and colorful stones. Then they gave them to the crisis center to hide. The children at the crisis center were delighted to find and read these messages. They thought highly of the experience as well as the words coming from community members who took time to make them realize they were valued.
Seyton reflects with the group of volunteers that the project is a great way to bring people together positively in the community to do something for the good of others. They talk about how serving others can make a difference to someone’s life. It seems that the deed is as small as a stone, but the impact can be as large as a mountain.
4、Whom does the Community Crisis Center mainly help
A. Poor families. B. Homeless orphans.
C. Victims of family violence. D. Pandemic disease sufferers.
5、How did Seyton Thomas help the crisis center
A. By raising a fund for all kids in the center.
B. By spreading useful news about the pandemic.
C. By encouraging her soccer team members to donate.
D. By presenting inspiring messages to children in the center.
6、What kind of person is Seyton Thomas
A. Curious and optimistic. B. Kind-hearted and caring.
C. Serious and modest. D. Creative and educated.
7、Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. Small stones make a big difference
B. Volunteer work has great benefits
C. Find hope during difficult times
D. Giving is better than receiving
It is reported that the sense of smell plays a dominant role in the social interactions of all land animals except humans. Then the question arises: Is this because humans don’t use their noses in social settings the way all other land animals do Or is this behavior covert (隐蔽的), rather than overt, in humans
In fact, this is exactly what Inbal Ravreby, a graduate student in Prof. Noam Sobel’s laboratory in Weizmann’s Brain Sciences Department, tried to answer. And as several lines of evidence suggest that humans are constantly, although mostly subconsciously, sniffing themselves and others, Ravreby supposed that the latter is the case.
To test her hypothesis, Ravreby conducted the study with pairs of click friends: same-sex nonromantic friends whose friendships had originally formed very rapidly. Because such friendships emerge prior to an in-depth acquaintance, they may be particularly influenced by physiological characteristics such as body smell. She then collected body smell samples from these click friends and conducted two sets of experiments to compare the samples with those collected from random pairs of individuals. In one set of experiments, she performed the comparison with a device known as an electronic nose, or eNose, which assessed the chemical signatures of the smells. In the other, she asked volunteers to smell the two groups of body smell samples in order to assess similarities measured by human perception. In both types of experiments, click friends were found to smell significantly more like each other than the individuals in the random pairs.
Next, to rule out the possibility that body smell similarity was a consequence of click friendships, rather than a contributing cause, Ravreby performed an additional set of experiments, in which she used the eNose to “smell” a number of volunteers who were complete strangers to one another, and then asked them to engage in nonverbal (非言语的) social interactions in pairs. After each such structured interaction, the participants rated the other individual in terms of how much they liked that person. Subsequent analysis revealed that the individuals who had more positive interactions indeed smelled more like each other, as determined by the eNose.
“These results imply that, as the saying goes, there is chemistry in social chemistry,” Ravreby concludes. However, Sobel offers words of caution, “This is not to say that we act like dogs or goats — humans likely rely on other, far more dominant signals in their social decision-making. Nevertheless, our study’s results do suggest that our nose plays a bigger role than previously thought in our choice of friends.”
8、What did Inbal Ravreby want to figure out
A. Whether humans have a sharp sense of smell.
B. Whether humans’ noses can detect all types of smells.
C. Whether it is necessary for humans to sniff other people.
D. Whether the sense of smell plays a role in humans’ interaction.
9、What makes the first two sets of experiments different from each other
A. The way to make comparisons.
B. The participation of random pairs.
C. The way volunteers used the eNose.
D. The number of pairs of click friends.
10、Why did Ravreby involve complete strangers in the following experiments
A. To determine the reliability of the finding.
B. To avoid interactions between click friends.
C. To make the experiments much more interesting.
D. To test the accuracy of the eNose in smell analysis.
11、What is Sobel’s attitude towards the research finding
A. Disapproving. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Indifferent.
Unless you’re blind or know someone who is, you might not know that blind people use the same smartphones as sighted people. In fact, many blind people use touch-screen smartphones every day. The secret is that smartphones have a screen reader, a tool that allows blind people to use a mix of gestures and taps, along with vibrations (震动) or audio feedback, to use their apps.
Screen readers work on desktop computers as well as mobile devices. A well-designed website or app user interface (用户界面) makes the information on the website or app accessible to the screen reader, which makes it accessible to blind users. However, a badly designed website or application will turn out to be invisible to a screen reader.
Many designers find a good way to make technology available to all, which can be explained through an example — the whole touch screen. It was reported that blind users found locating small icons and specific numbers on the on-screen keypad(键盘) difficult. At present, the prevailing solution to this problem is to use the whole touch screen as an input control. Instead of having to touch a particular part of the screen, users can tap anywhere in response to audio instructions. These insights would have been impossible without involving people with different disabilities in the evaluation and design of touch screens.
Yet many technologies are still not accessible to users with disabilities. One way to make apps and websites more accessible is to have people with disabilities designing the technologies. But the design process itself is not very accessible to those very people, because very few tools in user interface designers’ toolbox are accessible. It’s a catch-22.
Our recent research evaluated the existing prototyping software, a tool allowing user interface designers to create temporary models to show clients or to test among users. We found that most popular prototyping software fails to work together with screen readers. Therefore, blind designers cannot use the prototyping software to create models of their own. This is where the problem is in the process of creating accessible technology.
Accessibility is an issue that touches everyone. Providing access to technology is legally required in most cases. While it is useful for designers to be aware of how users with disabilities interact with technologies, the most powerful insights may come from those with disabilities themselves.
12、What’s the major difference between a well-designed app and a badly designed one
A. The former functions well with a screen reader.
B. The former is applicable to most mobile devices.
C. The latter fails to interact with desktop computers.
D. The latter’s complex mix of information distracts users.
13、What do many designers think is a good way to make technology friendly to all
A. Evaluating users’ response to on-screen keypads.
B. Making input and output controls easy to operate.
C. Creating special icons and numbers for blind people.
D. Including disabled people in the development process.
14、What does the underlined word “catch-22” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Priority. B. Prejudice. C. Dilemma. D. Puzzle.
15、What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text
A. To show disabled people’s difficulty in using digital devices.
B. To urge people to be concerned about the situation of the disabled.
C. To inform us of the specific needs of the disabled in the digital era.
D. To stress the importance of engaging the disabled in technology development.
二、七选五
16、The typical cellphone user touches his or her phone 2,617 times every day. Most people spend 3 hours on their phones each day. The effects of this usage are shocking: reducing the quality of conversations and negatively affecting short-term memory and problem solving. ①_______. How can you cut down on your usage of cellphones The following are some methods suggested by experts.
Keep to your schedule.
You could set alarms specifying how often you can check your phone. ②_______. When your alarm sounds, read and handle notifications (通知) and then put down the phone. To reduce response anxiety, tell your friends or family that you may not respond to their messages as quickly as you used to.
Create no-phone time zones.
During working hours, if you’re constantly upset by your phone going off, you won’t remain focused on the work. Therefore, you could create a no-phone time zone. ③_______. So you can concentrate on the work in front of you.
④_______.
One idea is to replace some smartphone functions with real objects. For example, purchase a radio alarm clock instead of depending on your phone to wake you up, and start your new year by buying a new notebook, so you can write your appointment and to-do list there instead of in your phone.
Put a hairband (发带) around your phone.
When placed in the middle of the phone, the hairband allows users to answer phone calls easily, but makes other uses of the phone more difficult. Every time you want to use your phone, this brings about a mindfulness exercise and makes you ask yourself what your intention is. If you really want to use the phone, set your intention for why and remove the hairband. ⑤_______. Choose the methods most suitable for your situation and make efforts to avoid too much use of cellphones.
A. Reduce your reliance
B. Learn to live a life without phones
C. People get addicted to smartphones for different reasons
D. For example, every half-hour, every 45 minutes or every hour
E. And the relation between phone addiction and mental illness is alarming
F. The practice helps avoid mindlessly unlocking your phone every 3 minutes
G. Shut your phone for at least 2 hours of your day, when you’re most productive

④考查非谓语动词。句意见上一题。此处"lots of people (ride) bikes"为独立主格结构,ride用非谓语动词形式,非谓语动词ride和其逻辑主语people之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词作宾语补足语。故填riding。
⑤考查冠词。句意:运动的积极理念可以满足当今城市骑手对现代、环保生活方式的渴望根据句意可知,此处泛指“一种现代的、环保的生活方式”,所以需要用不定冠词。modern又是以辅音音素开头。故填a。
