(2023·山东枣庄一中高二上学期月考试)Some of the greatest scientists of all time are women who have made important discoveries in a variety of fields in science. Several of their contributions throughout history are even more than men’s contributions. Our list of the most famous female scientists below is organized in order of popularity so you can read about the advancements that they made.
Marie Curie (1867-1934)
Famous for:Work on radioactivity
Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize and the only woman to win this award in two fields:Physics and Chemistry. She discovered polonium and radium and her work helped with the creation of X-rays.
Jane Goodall (1934)
Famous for:Primate(灵长类) studies
Jane Goodall is known world-wide for her groundbreaking studies on primates. She is considered as the top expert on chimps in the world and is perhaps best known for her 45-year study on the social lives of these animals in Tanzania.
Rita Levi-Montalcini (1909-2012)
Famous for:Nerve growth studies
Rita Levi-Montalcini was a neurologist(神经病学家) who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1986 for her findings in Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). She was the first Nobel Prize winner to live past her 100th birthday.
Lise Meitner (1878-1968)
Famous for:Work on radioactivity and nuclear physics
Lise Meitner was a key member of a group that discovered nuclear fission(裂变). One of her colleagues, Otto Hahn,was given the Nobel Prize for this work. That Meitner didn’t get the award is considered to be a huge error by the Nobel committee.

Edwin Hubble made his most important discoveries in the 1920s. Today, other astronomers continue the work he began. Many of them are using the Hubble Space Telescope that is named after him.
Edwin Powell Hubble was born in 1889 in Marshfield, Missouri. He spent his early years in the state of Kentucky. Then he moved with his family to Chicago, in Louisville. He attended the University of Chicago. He studied mathematics and astronomy. Hubble was a good student. He was a good athlete, too. He was a member of the University of Chicago championship basketball team in 1909.He also was an excellent boxer. Several people urged him to train for the world heavyweight boxing championship after college. Instead, he decided to continue his studies. He went to Queen’s College at Oxford, England.
At Oxford, Hubble studied law. He was interested in British Common Law, because his family had come to America from England many years before. He spent three years at Oxford. In 1913, Hubble returned to the United States. He opened a law office in Louisville, Kentucky. After a short time, however, he decided he did not want to be a lawyer. He returned to the University of Chicago. There, once again, he studied astronomy. Edwin Hubble was the first person to use the Hale Telescope. He died in 1953 while preparing to spend four nights looking through the telescope at the sky.
Hubble’s work led to new researches on the birth of the universe. One astronomer said scientists have been filling in the details ever since. And, he said, there is a long way to go.

(2023·江苏南京高二上学期联考)Death is natural,but do you have any idea of the process of dying Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two phases—clinical or temporary death and biological death. Clinical death occurs when the vital organs,such as the heart or lungs,have ceased to function,but have not suffered permanent damage. The organism can still be revived(复活的). Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaking up” of vital cells and tissues. Death is then unchangeable and final.
Scientists have been seeking a way to prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs. The best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism,combined with narcotic sleep. By slowing down the body’s metabolism(新陈代谢), cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.
To illustrate how this works,scientists performed an experiment on a six-year-old female monkey called Keta. The scientist put Keta to sleep with a narcotic(麻醉药). Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checking her body temperature. When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from an artery. The monkey’s blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped: clinical death set in. For twenty minutes Keta remained in this state. Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees. At this point, the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificial breathing. After two minutes, Keta’s heart became active once more. After fifteen minutes,spontaneous(自发的)breathing began, and after four hours Keta opened her eyes and lifted her head. After six hours,when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection, Keta seized the syringe and ran with it around the room. Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal.
( )8.What can we learn from a person who suffers from the clinical death
A.His most important organs are damaged.
B.He still has the possibility of getting back to life.
C.He can not avoid final death.
D.He is still very much alive.
( )9.Why do scientists try to make the time of clinical death longer
A.To slow down the body’s metabolism.
B.To bring vital cells and tissues back to active life.
C.To cool the organism.
D.To delay the coming of biological death.
( )10.How did the scientists put Keta into clinical death
A.By putting her to sleep,lowering her temperature and draining her blood.
B.By surrounding her body with ice-bags and draining her blood.
C.By lowing her blood pressure and stopping her heart from beating.
D.By draining her blood,lowering her blood pressure and stopping her breathing.
( )11.All of the following indicate that the monkey has almost restored to her original physical state EXCEPT the fact that________.
A.her heart beat again
B.she regained her normal breath
C.she rejected a penicillin injection
D.she acted as lively as a healthy monkey
D
(2022·全国新高考Ⅱ卷)Over the last seven years,most states have banned texting by drivers, and public service campaigns have tried a wide range of methods to persuade people to put down their phones when they are behind the wheel.
Yet the problem,by just about any measure, appears to be getting worse. Americans are still texting while driving, as well as using social networks and taking photos. Road accidents,which had fallen for years, are now rising sharply.
That is partly because people are driving more,but Mark Rosekind,the chief of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,said distracted(分心)driving was “only increasing,unfortunately”.
“Big change requires big ideas,” he said in a speech last month,referring broadly to the need to improve road safety. So to try to change a distinctly modern behavior,lawmakers and public health experts are reaching back to an old approach: They want to treat distracted driving like drunk driving.
An idea from lawmakers in New York is to give police officers a new device called the Textalyzer. It would work like this: An officer arriving at the scene of a crash could ask for the phones of the drivers and use the Textalyzer to check in the operating system for recent activity. The technology could determine whether a driver had just texted,emailed or done anything else that is not allowed under New York’s hands-free driving laws.
“We need something on the books that can change people’s behavior,” said Félix W. Ortiz,who pushed for the state’s 2001 ban on hand-held devices by drivers. If the Textalyzer bill becomes law,he said,“People are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone. ”
( )12.Which of the following best describes the ban on drivers’ texting in the US
A.Ineffective. B.Unnecessary.
C.Inconsistent. D.Unfair.
( )13.What can the Textalyzer help a police officer find out
A.Where a driver came from. B.Whether a driver used their phone.
C.How fast a driver was going. D.When a driver arrived at the scene.
( )14.What does the underlined word “something” in the last paragraph refer to
A.Advice. B.Data.
C.Tests. D.Laws.
( )15.What is a suitable title for the text
A.To Drive or Not to Drive Think Before You Start
B.Texting and Driving Watch Out for the Textalyzer
C.New York Banning Hand-Held Devices by Drivers
D.The Next Generation Cell Phone: The Textalyzer

(2023·辽宁沈阳高二检测)Children start out as natural scientists,eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy,as there’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. __16__.
Give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that,after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. __17__, children can give more logical,complete and creative answers.
Watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion,don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”. __18__. But in talking about science,quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead,keep things going by saying “That’s interesting or I have never thought of it that way before,” or coming up with more questions or ideas. Never force a child to think. __19__ as children are always thinking,without your telling them to.
What’s more,giving them freedom to think can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want,in as few words as possible,so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.
__20__. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜),and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates(蒸发),set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.
A.It doesn’t make sense
B.Listen to their questions
C.Teach them by examples
D.You only have to share your children’s curiosity
E.It began with a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours
F.When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more
G.These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behaviour

My name is John and I must share with you an event which took place on Flight 1553 out of DCA.My wife and I were travelling to Miami to celebrate an achievement for her and as you can imagine, we were looking forward to fun, sun and laughter.
We boarded the aircraft, without a care in the world. It was cold in Washington and we were ready for Florida. Shortly after taking my seat, I began to feel sick. I knew something wasn’t right but just couldn’t find out what was happening. Being a doctor and a stubborn man, I resisted efforts by my wife to call for assistance. As the aircraft began its departure roll, I lost consciousness for a short amount of time. As I came around, I quickly realised a few things. Firstly, something very bad had happened to me. Secondly, the aircraft was too heavy with the fuel to go back home. Thirdly, my loss of consciousness had been so deep that I found myself out of control. So not only did I have a medical issue to deal with, but I also had to figure out how to deal with an embarrassing experience.
My wife gathered the crew as soon as it was safe to move about and I made my way to the washroom to attempt to clean up. I did my best and the flight crew members were so supportive,checking on me often and reassuring me that there was nothing to be embarrassed about. It was their sympathy and support that helped me so much. During the flight they kept watching over me and I suddenly had a small group of nurse, bringing blankets, food, drinks and caring and smile. I was thankful to them.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Upon landing, I remained in my seat, allowing other people to go first. __________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

( )15.What is a suitable title for the text
A.To Drive or Not to Drive Think Before You Start
B.Texting and Driving Watch Out for the Textalyzer
C.New York Banning Hand-Held Devices by Drivers
D.The Next Generation Cell Phone: The Textalyzer
【语篇导读】本文一篇说明文。为解决司机在开车时使用手机造成“分神”,引发交通事故的问题,纽约的一名立法者提出使用Textalyzer(短信监控器)的技术来监控司机在开车的时候是否使用了手机。
12.A 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Over the last seven years,most states have banned texting by drivers,and public service campaigns have tried a wide range of methods to persuade people to put down their phones when they are behind the wheel(在过去的七年里,大多数州都禁止司机发短信,公共服务活动也尝试了各种各样的方法来说服人们在开车时放下手机). ”以及第二段中的“Yet the problem,by just about any measure,appears to be getting worse(然而,无论以何种标准衡量,这个问题似乎都在恶化). ”可知,大多数州使用了各种各样的方法说服司机们在开车的时候放下手机,可是情况却越来越糟糕。所以各种方法是无效的。A项ineffective意为“无效的”,与此相符。故选A。
13.B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“The technology could determine whether a driver had just texted,emailed or done anything else that is not allowed under New York’s hands-free driving laws(这项技术可以确定司机是否发了短信、发了邮件,或者做了纽约免提驾驶法不允许的其他事情). ”可知,Textalyzer能够确定的是司机是否使用了手机发短信、邮件以及其他驾驶法不允许的行为。B项意为“是否司机使用了手机。”与此相符。故选B。
14.D 词义猜测题。根据句中的“We need something on the books that can change people’s behavior(我们需要一些能改变人们行为的东西). ”可知,something是能够改变人们的行为的事情。根据下文的“If the Textalyzer bill becomes law,he said,’People are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone’(他说,如果Textalyzer法案成为法律,人们会更害怕拿起手机). ”可知,人们的行为会改变的条件是当Textalyzer法案成为法律。收到法律的约束和惩罚,司机们才不会在开车的时候使用手机。故something指代的是法律。故选D。
15.B 标题推测题。纵观全文,第一段和第二段阐述的是“虽然大多数州已经尝试了各种各样的方法来说服人们在开车时放下手机。可是问题却越来越严重”。第三段中的“That is partly because people are driving more(部分原因是开车的人越来越多). ”解释了该行为产生的部分原因。第四段至第五段讲述的是为了解决该问题是纽约立法者提出了一个新的想法即利用Textalyzer技术,来监控司机在开车的时候是否使用了手机。最后一段讲述的是:相关人士呼吁该项技术能够成为真正的法案由此才能真正地改变人们的行为。故B项Texting and Driving Watch Out for the Textalyzer(发短信还是在开车?防范短信监控器)适合文章的标题。故选B。

(2023·辽宁沈阳高二检测)Children start out as natural scientists,eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy,as there’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. __16__.
Give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that,after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. __17__, children can give more logical,complete and creative answers.
Watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion,don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”. __18__. But in talking about science,quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead,keep things going by saying “That’s interesting or I have never thought of it that way before,” or coming up with more questions or ideas. Never force a child to think. __19__ as children are always thinking,without your telling them to.
What’s more,giving them freedom to think can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want,in as few words as possible,so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.
__20__. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜),and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates(蒸发),set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.
A.It doesn’t make sense
B.Listen to their questions
C.Teach them by examples
D.You only have to share your children’s curiosity
E.It began with a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours
F.When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more
G.These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behaviour

17.F 根据下文“children can give more logical,complete and creative answers(孩子们可以给出更符合逻辑、更完整、更有创意的答案). ”可知,其原因是“成年人把他们的等待时间增加到3秒或更长”。

【答案】One possible version:
Science and Technology Influence Our Life
Science and technology have been deeply influencing both our life and study.
Take our school for example. Now there are several HD-cameras monitoring the whole campus in case of emergency or school bullying. At meal time, we can watch TV news in the dinning hall, learning the latest international and domestic events. Not only can our teachers use multimedia equipment to make their classes more lively, but also they can mark papers on the computer, which greatly improves the efficiency of paper-scoring.
Additionally, in our daily life we can do many things conveniently, such as paying by Alipay, getting food by card, going to school by shared bike and so on.
In a word, it is the development of science and technology that makes such a comfortable and convenient life available to us.
第二节(满分25分)
My name is John and I must share with you an event which took place on Flight 1553 out of DCA.My wife and I were travelling to Miami to celebrate an achievement for her and as you can imagine, we were looking forward to fun, sun and laughter.
We boarded the aircraft, without a care in the world. It was cold in Washington and we were ready for Florida. Shortly after taking my seat, I began to feel sick. I knew something wasn’t right but just couldn’t find out what was happening. Being a doctor and a stubborn man, I resisted efforts by my wife to call for assistance. As the aircraft began its departure roll, I lost consciousness for a short amount of time. As I came around, I quickly realised a few things. Firstly, something very bad had happened to me. Secondly, the aircraft was too heavy with the fuel to go back home. Thirdly, my loss of consciousness had been so deep that I found myself out of control. So not only did I have a medical issue to deal with, but I also had to figure out how to deal with an embarrassing experience.
My wife gathered the crew as soon as it was safe to move about and I made my way to the washroom to attempt to clean up. I did my best and the flight crew members were so supportive,checking on me often and reassuring me that there was nothing to be embarrassed about. It was their sympathy and support that helped me so much. During the flight they kept watching over me and I suddenly had a small group of nurse, bringing blankets, food, drinks and caring and smile. I was thankful to them.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

Hearing that, the captain left and returned a couple minutes later with a pair of his own blue jeans. __________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Upon landing, I remained in my seat, allowing other people to go first. As I was in my seat, I looked up and see the captain standing with a warm smile. “What can I do for you?” the captain asked. I told him I was OK. I was very embarrassed and concerned because of the previous things. He said, “What sizes of pants do you wear?” His voice was full of care. I was puzzled and replied,“34×34.Why do you ask this?”
Hearing that, the captain left and returned a couple minutes later with a pair of his own blue jeans. The man opened his own luggage and gave a complete stranger his pants. I didn’t know what to say. Then I looked at my wife, who smiled without saying a word, let me know it was OK. I made my way to the exit and he said,“Change on the aircraft. It is fine. ” Because of the experience, I was thankful to him for his kindness. I made up my mind to treat others with kindness.
