UNIT 1 SCIENCE AND SCIENTISTS
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分)
A(2024湖南益阳三模)
College professors these days face an ever-higher bar to grab the attention of their students,forced to compete with the stimuli of smartphones and laptops in large lecture halls.But when your professor is a social media star,it’s a little bit easier.
Tatiana Erukhimova,who teaches physics at Texas A&M University,has managed to get her students,as well as future generations,excited about the science.Known as “Dr.Tatiana” to her students and online fan base,the professor performs physics tricks with boundless energy and enthusiasm.Videos of her theatrical demonstrations have racked up hundreds of millions of views across TikTok and other social media platforms.
In the kid-friendly videos,Erukhimova uses a range of everyday objects in her experiments,from pingpong balls and toilet paper to marshmallows,bicycle wheels and hair dryers.She credits the university marketing team’s videos of her lessons for her social media success.“This is just one of our ways to connect with people to make physics accessible to people,” she tells NPR.As part of the physics department’s extensive outreach program,she also puts on shows almost every week teaching physics to K-12 students.“The sooner kids are taught physics and taught it well,the better,” she says.
It’s clear she knows what it takes to get young people excited about a hard science.But it wasn’t always that way.When she first started teaching college freshman classes almost two decades ago,she says she struggled to grab the attention of her younger students.She was used to teaching juniors,as she had for a few years prior to that.But when it comes to teaching a large lecture hall of 100-plus first-year students,first impressions are make or break.
“I did not grab their attention on the first day — that was my mistake,” she says.“I missed this opportunity to bond with them from the very beginning,and then it took me a while to find my voice.”
By the second semester,she found her footing,tweaking her approach to make her lecture halls feel smaller,and get her students engaged.The key,she says,has been to make herself approachable and her instruction personal.
1.What is the main challenge faced by college professors in large lecture halls
A.Competition with smartphones and laptops.
B.Limited resources for teaching materials.
C.Inadequate support from the university.
D.Lack of interest from students.
2.What role does the university marketing team play in Tatiana Erukhimova’s social media success
A.Encouraging students to use social media.
B.Creating TikTok accounts for professors.
C.Producing videos of her physics lessons.
D.Promoting weekly teaching program.
3.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Erukhimova’s junior students in paragraph 4
A.To review her teaching plans.
B.To show an application of her idea.
C.To highlight the differences of teaching.
D.To erase doubts about her approaches.
4.What lesson did Tatiana Erukhimova learn when she initially started teaching college freshmen
A.The importance of establishing a personal connection with students.
B.The significance of focusing on junior-level students.
C.The effectiveness of traditional teaching methods.
D.The need for advanced teaching materials.
B(2024湖北八市一模)
Chinese scientists have created a breakthrough fibre that can be woven into warm,lightweight clothing using aerogel,a thermal insulation(热绝缘) material mainly used in the aerospace industry.
Aerogel,notable for their performance and durability,could have various applications.As the world’s lightest solid material,it has long been valued for its thermal insulation properties.Traditional aerogel,made by replacing the liquid in aerogel with air,is extraordinarily light,resembling a solid cloud of smoke.Its high porosity (多孔性) gives it exceptional heat resistance,but this also makes it fragile and challenging to process,limiting its use in civilian applications.
But now,researchers at Zhejiang University have overcome aerogel’s fragility and designed an encapsulated aerogel fibre (EAF) with similar thermal insulation mechanisms—after being inspired by the structure of polar bear hair.
China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation as well as Nasa has used EAF in Mars Rovers,which endure extreme temperatures ranging from thousands of degrees during the Martian landing to-130 degrees Celsius (-202 degrees Fahrenheit) on the planet’s surface.
In an experiment,a volunteer wore textiles (纺织品) made of EAF,down,wool,and cotton in a-20 degree Celsius environment.The surface temperatures of these materials were 3.5 degrees,3.8 degrees,7.2 degrees,and 10.8 degrees respectively,indicating the superior insulation of EAF.They showed the practicality of EAF by weaving a jumper and comparing its thermal insulation to common textile materials.
As well as being strong and stretchable,EAF can also be washed and dyed,improving its use in practical applications.Traditional silica aerogel will absorb water and collapse on itself.As a result,it quickly loses its thermal insulation qualities in wet or humid environments.However,EAF maintains its performance even after machine washing.
Professor Zhang Xuetong of the Suzhou Institute of Nano-tech and Nano-bionics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences,highlighted the potential of the aerogel fibres in advanced thermal textiles.As well as its potential for civilian use,EAF fibre also holds promise for industries that are already familiar with aerogels.“EAF textiles feature excellent thermal insulation and multifunction and have great potential in areas such as military uniforms and spacesuits in extremely cold environments,” professor Zhang noted in a paper.However,he also noted the gap between existing technology and capacity for mass production.Challenges exist regarding how to develop fast-spinning technology and resolve the continuous fabrication that is necessary for mass production.
5.What is the characteristic of traditional aerogel
A.It can be easily processed.
B.It is resistant to high temperatures.
C.It is a solid cloud of smoke.
D.It can effectively insulate electricity.
6.What is EAF’s advantage in enduring extreme temperature based on
A.Research statistics.
B.Public comments.
C.Scientific prediction.
D.Commercial reports.
7.Professor Zhang Xuetong’s study found that mass production could be possible if    .
A.advancement is made in thermal textiles
B.there exists need for continuous fabrication
C.barriers in fast-spinning technology are overcome
D.aerogel’s strengths and weaknesses get balanced
8.What is the text mainly about
A.The development of aerogel fibre.
B.The potential use of biomimetic fibre.
C.Great breakthrough in aerospace industry.
D.China’s newly-woven clothing made from aerogel.
