Scientific Breakthroughs
If you had to choose the single most important discovery of the 20th century,you would have a real problem on your hands.In just 100 years,the world has changed completely.Amazing discoveries were made in medicine,communications and transport,not to mention① our knowledge of the world and space.Medical advances ranged② from discovering the causes of diseases under microscopes③ to staging operations to replace diseased organs with donated④ munications changed with the introduction of mobile phones,and the way we correspond⑤ went from writing letters to emailing and sending instant⑥ messages.
We started flying around the world,launching⑦ satellites⑧ into orbit⑨ and,at the same time,scientists figured out⑩ how to split the atom,previously thought to be the smallest particle of matter in the universe.

Although it is impossible to choose the most important discovery,it is possible to single out a few pioneers of the 20th century.Here are some of them.
One of the 20th century's premier scientists was Albert Einstein.In the summer of 1905,this outspoken young man [1]was rocking his one-year-old baby when he was suddenly inspired.Subsequently ,“E=mc2” was born.It showed [2]how a small piece of mass could produce an unbelievable amount of energy.Einstein then showed in his“theory of relativity ”that not even time,mass or length are constant —they change according to our experience of them.

[1]此处为“be doing...when...”句型,意为“正在做……,这时(突然)……”。
[2]此处为how引导的宾语从句,how在从句中作状语。
In 1928,another important finding was made by biologist Alexander Fleming.Before he went on holiday,Fleming left a dish of bacteria in his laboratory.When he came back,he noticed something strange.He double-checked and saw a blue mould in the dish [3]around which the bacteria had been destroyed.This blue mould was in fact the natural form of penicillin ,[4]which Fleming perceived could be used to kill bacteria.A few years later,penicillin was being mass-produced and helping to save the lives of millions.Fleming remained humble about the amazing outcome of his discovery.“Nature made penicillin,” he said,“I just found it.”
finding/'fa nd /n.研究的结果;发现
biologist/ba ' l d st/n.生物学家
biology n. 生物学

penicillin/ pen 's l n/n.青霉素,盘尼西林
perceive/p 'si v/ vt.察觉,注意到,发觉

[3]此处为“介词+which”引导的定语从句。
[4]此处为which引导的非限制性定语从句,which在从句中作主语。
During World War Ⅱ,[5]when Fleming's discovery was first helping to cure people,the US Navy was looking for ways of improving the accuracy of their missiles .[6]The navy turned to Eckert,an engineer,and Mauchly,a physicist ,to deal with the problem and produce a machine to do the job in a joint effort.Although they only finished after the war in 1946,it did not matter.This huge machine was the world's first computer,but it was nothing like our computers today.It measured 100 feet long by over 10 feet high and weighed over 30,000 kilograms.With 18,000 tubes ,thousands of circuits and 6,000 switches,it used so much energy that when it was turned on,the lights in the local town went out !
accuracy/' kj r si/n.准确性;精准度;正确,准确
accurate adj.准确的,精准的
to be accurate精确地说
missile/'m sa l/n.导弹,飞弹
physicist/'f z s st/n.物理学家

joint effort 共同努力
tube/tju b/n.圆管,管子;电视显像管,阴极射线管
circuit/'s k t/n.电路,线路;环形道路
go out熄灭;外出
[5]此处为when引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰World War Ⅱ。
[6]此处an engineer和a physicist分别作Eckert和Mauchly的同位语。
With the development of computers,people expected to get more things done efficiently .During the Cold War,a “huge network” of computers was proposed by two American scientists.[7]With computers talking to one another,it would enable government leaders to communicate with each other.By the end of the 1960s,some mini-networks were established,but only a few computers could connect to them.In 1990,Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web,which enabled computers all over the world to communicate with each other.Nowadays,life without the Internet for most people is unimaginable.
expect to do sth期待/预料做某事
efficiently/ 'f ntli/adv.有效率地,高效能地
efficient adj.有效率的
propose/pr 'p z/vt.提出(某观点、方法等);提名,推荐;求婚
propose sb for提名(某人)
proposal n.建议;提出;求婚
[7]此处为with复合结构,在句中作伴随状语。
These pioneers of the 20th century were all dedicated to improving the quality of human life on Earth.Human life on this planet has been transformed into a“global village”,[8]with all the different countries linked in the chain of common interests.There is no doubt about it.Without the breakthroughs of these pioneers in science and technology,whether lucky or planned,the world as we know it today would be a completely different place.
be dedicated to doing sth致力于……
transform v.使转换,使变形
be transformed into转变成
[8]此处为with复合结构,在句中作原因状语。

科技突破
如果必须在20世纪重大发现中选出最重要的一项,这可不是件容易的事。在仅仅100年中,世界就完全变样了。医学、通信和交通方面都有惊人的发现,更别提我们对世界和太空的认知了。医学上的进步范围很广,从利用显微镜揭示病因,到施行手术,用捐赠的器官做器官移植。随着移动电话的问世,通信方式也发生了变化。我们从用写信通信变成了发电子邮件和发送即时信息。我们开始坐飞机周游世界,把人造卫星发送至轨道。同时,科学家们发现了如何分裂原子。在此之前,原子被认为是宇宙中最小的物质微粒。
尽管不太可能选出哪项发现是最重要的,但是挑选出20世纪的几位先驱还是可能的。例如以下几位。
阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦是20世纪最杰出的科学家之一。1905年夏天,这个坦率的年轻人给他一岁的孩子晃动摇篮时,突然受到启发。于是,“E=mc2”诞生了。它证明了一小块物质如何释放令人难以置信的巨大能量。爱因斯坦随后在他的“相对论”中指出,即使是时间、质量或长度,它们也不是恒定不变的——它们会根据我们对它们的感知而变化。
1928年,另一项重要的发现被生物学家亚历山大·弗莱明发现了。在去度假之前,弗莱明在实验室里留下了一个培养细菌的器皿。回来时,他注意到器皿里有点儿奇怪。他反复检查并发现器皿里有一种蓝色的霉菌,而霉菌周围的细菌已经被杀死了。这种蓝色的霉菌实际上是青霉素的自然形态,弗莱明注意到它可以用来杀死细菌。数年后,青霉素开始大量生产,并且帮助挽救了数百万人的生命。弗莱明对他这一发现带来的惊人结果保持谦虚态度。他说:“是大自然制造了青霉素,我只是发现了它。”
第二次世界大战期间,正当弗莱明的发现首次被用来帮助治疗病人时,美国海军正在寻找提高导弹精度的方法。海军求助于工程师埃克特和物理学家莫克利来解决这个问题并共同努力制造一台机器来完成这项工作。尽管机器在1946年战争结束后才制造出来,但仍产生了巨大影响。这台巨大的机器是世界上第一台计算机,但是与今天的计算机完全不同。它长100英尺,高10多英尺,重达30 000多千克。它有18 000个显像管、数千条电路和6 000个开关,耗电量异常巨大,以至于当它启动的时候,当地所有的灯都熄灭了!
随着计算机的发展,人们期望能高效地完成更多的事情。冷战期间,两位美国科学家提出建立一个计算机的“庞大网络”。计算机能互换信息,也能使政府领导人相互沟通。到20世纪60年代末,一些小型网络已经建立起来,但只有少数计算机可以接入。1990年,蒂姆·伯纳·李发明了万维网,使世界各地的计算机能够相互沟通。如今,对大多数人来说,没有互联网的生活是难以想象的。
这些20世纪的先驱都致力于改善地球上人类的生活质量。不同国家因共同利益而连接起来,地球上人类的生活已经转变为“地球村”。此事毋庸置疑。如果没有这些先驱取得的科技突破,无论这些突破是偶然取得的还是计划之中的,我们今天所了解的世界将是一个完全不同的地方。

(2025·福建泉州高二下质检)When I was four,my grandfather suddenly got lost in a park one day.It was the first instance that informed us that he had Alzheimer's disease (阿尔茨海默病).Over the past 12 years,his worsening condition and his wandering have been worrying us.My aunt struggled to stay awake at night to watch over him,but often failed.Concerned about my aunt's well-being and my grandfather's safety,I searched widely for a solution,but in vain.
Then two years ago,while looking after my grandfather,I was impressed by the moment when his foot landed on the floor.Why don't I put a pressure sensor on the bottom of his foot Once he stepped onto the floor and out of the bed,the pressure sensor would detect an increase in pressure caused by body weight and then wirelessly send an alarm to the caregiver's smartphone.My desire to create a sensor-based technology was born.
When laying out my plan,I faced three main challenges.First,I had to create a wearable sensor.After testing different materials like rubber,which was too thick,I decided to print a film sensor with pressure-sensitive ink particles.Next,I had to design a wearable wireless circuit.Thankfully,I was able to find out about the Bluetooth low energy technology,which produces little power and can be driven by a coin-sized battery.Lastly,I learnt to code a smartphone app to turn the caregiver's smartphone into a remote monitor.
Integrating these components,I successfully created two models:a built-in sock sensor and a reattachable one.Having tested it on my grandfather with 100% success in detecting his wandering,I beta-tested it at California care facilities last summer.Now,I'm using response from tests to improve it into a marketable product.
One thing I'll never forget is when my device first caught my grandfather's wandering at night.At that moment,I was really struck by the power of technology to change lives for the better.

When Philip Sontag first visited Antarctica as a PhD student,he collected a bag of penguin feathers.A decade later,Sontag and his team have discovered how to use these feathers to map mercury (汞) pollution in the Southern Hemisphere,a growing threat to wildlife.
Mercury,a poisonous by-product of gold mining,becomes more and more in the food chain and affects animals' nervous systems.While sampling rocks or soil for mercury provides limited insight,tracking its presence in the food web is crucial for ecosystem monitoring.
Penguins have a way to dispose of mercury through their feathers,which they molt (换羽) regularly.Sontag,now a polar researcher at Rutgers University,and his team analyzed these molted feathers to determine where penguins were exposed to mercury.They found a clear relationship between mercury levels and carbon-13,which varies geographically and acts as a marker for where penguins feed or breed.The study confirmed this pattern across seven penguin species in the Southern Ocean,revealing higher mercury exposure in northern,warmer regions with higher carbon-13 levels.
The findings suggest that penguins could serve as bioindicators,living trackers of environmental pollutants.By measuring mercury in feathers,scientists can track the metal's movement through the oceanic food web over time,rather than just at a single moment.For example,penguin species living near each other showed different mercury and carbon-13 levels due to varying migration and feeding patterns.These data could be modeled into a map-like database to aid conservation and polar research.
Marine scientist Miriam Gimeno Castells notes that penguins are mid-level predators (捕食性动物),and undergo dramatic molts,making it easy to collect feathers from many individuals.The molted feathers contain mercury that gets into their body during the non-breeding season.
Sontag plans to collect newer feathers from different species and compare mercury levels in penguins' blood and their food with those in their feathers.As for the penguins' health,senior author John Reinfelder makes it clear that they have not yet been exposed to poisonous mercury levels.“The penguins will be okay,” he says.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了菲利普·桑塔格及其团队发现了如何利用企鹅羽毛绘制南半球的汞污染地图,汞污染对野生动物构成了日益严重的威胁。
5.How did Sontag use the penguin feathers he collected
A.He kept them as a reminder of his trip.
B.He studied the content of a chemical in them.
C.He observed their changes in different environments.
D.He classified them to identify different species of penguins.
解析 B 细节理解题。根据第二段“While sampling rocks or soil...crucial for ecosystem monitoring.”可知,对岩石或土壤中的汞进行采样来追踪汞很重要;再结合第三段“analyzed these molted feathers to determine where penguins were exposed to mercury”可知,桑塔格团队分析脱落的羽毛,以确定企鹅是在哪里接触到汞的,说明他们主要研究他收集的企鹅羽毛中的化学物质含量。故选B。
6.What does the underlined part “dispose of” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Recognize. B.Consume.
C.Remove. D.Combine.
解析 C 词义猜测题。根据第五段“The molted feathers contain mercury that gets into their body during the non-breeding season.”可知,脱落的羽毛中含有汞;再结合第三段“which they molt regularly”可知,企鹅羽毛中含汞,而企鹅换羽的习性,可以消除身体内的汞。由此可推知,dispose of指企鹅通过换羽去除体内积累的汞,与remove“消除,摆脱”语义相近。故选C。
7.What do we know about penguins from the text
A.They are ideal bioindicators.
B.They are sensitive to carbon-13.
C.They are top-level predators in the food chain.
D.They are free from the effects of human activities.
解析 A 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“The findings suggest that...environmental pollutants.”可知,企鹅是理想的生物指示器。故选A。
8.What is a suitable title for the text
A.The Life Cycle of Penguins in Antarctica
B.Gold Mining and Its Effects on Penguins
C.The Impact of Climate Change on Penguin Populations
D.Penguins Help Map Antarctica's Growing Mercury Threat
解析 D 标题归纳题。通读全文,根据第一段“collected a bag of penguin feathers”,“map mercury pollution”可知,本文主要介绍了菲利普·桑塔格和他的团队发现了如何利用企鹅羽毛绘制南半球的汞污染地图,汞污染对野生动物构成了日益严重的威胁,由此可推知,D项“企鹅帮助绘制南极洲日益严重的汞威胁图”为本文最佳标题。故选D。
