Unit 1　Great scientists

Stephen William Hawking was born on 8 January 1942 (300 years after the death of Galileo) in Oxford，England.His parents' house was in north London，but during the second world war Oxford was considered as a safer place to have babies.When he was eight，his family moved to St Albans，a town about 20 miles north of London.At eleven Stephen went to St Albans School，and then on to University College，Oxford，his father's old college.Stephen wanted to do Mathematics，although his father would have preferred medicine.There was no mathematics，so he did Physics instead.After three years and not very much work he was awarded a First Class Honours Degree in Natural Science.

Stephen then went on to Cambridge to do research in cosmology(宇宙学)，there being no one working in that area in Oxford at the time.His supervisor(导师)was Denis Sciama，although he had hoped to get Fred Hoyle who was working in Cambridge.After gaining his Ph.D.he became first a Research Fellow，and later on a Professorial Fellow at Gonville and Caius College.After leaving the Institute of Astronomy in 1973 Stephen came to the Department of Applied
Mathematics and Theoretical Physics，and since 1979 has held the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics.The chair was founded in 1663 with money left in the will of the Reverend Henry Lucas，who had been the Member of Parliament for the University.It was first held by Isaac Barrow，and then in 1663 by Isaac Newton.
His many publications include The Large Scale Structure of Spacetime(《时空的大规模结构》)with G．F.R Ellis，General Relativity：An Einstein Centenary Survey(《广义相对论：爱因斯坦世纪眺望》)with W. Israel，and 300 Years of Gravity(《重力300年》)with W．Israel.Stephen Hawking has two popular books published；his best seller A Brief History of Time(《时间简史》)．

Ⅰ.阅读理解
阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。
(2019·全国卷Ⅲ)Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.
A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0－25 drops of water or juice as a reward.The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward.
Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone，who led the team，described the experiment：In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens.On one part of the screen，a symbol would appear，and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown.For example，the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8.If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice；if they went for the circle，they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.
After running hundreds of tests，the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time，indicating that they were performing a calculation，not just memorizing the value of each combination.
When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely，they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估)a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing，for example，a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6.The underestimation was systematic：When adding two numbers，the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two，and then added only a fraction(小部分)of the smaller number to it.
“This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains，”Dr.Livingstone says.“But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one.”
【语篇解读】　本文讲述了哈佛医学院科学家Margaret Livingstone及其团队通过反复实验得出结论：猴子能算算术，且它们对大数值的关注胜过小数值。
1．What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?
A．They fed them.　　 B．They named them.

Ⅱ.七选五阅读
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
(2019·全国卷Ⅱ)Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question：“Should I jump？”This is what motivation or the lack of it can do.Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin.____1____Like the child on the diving board，you will stay undecided.
2____More than that，how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal？First，you need to evaluate yourself，your values，your strengths，your weaknesses，your achievements，your desires，etc.Only then should you set your goals.
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation.This is quite important，because it is directly related to your commitment.There are times when your heart is not in your work.____3____So，slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment.Clarity(清晰)of thoughts can help you move forward.
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives，keeping in mind your beliefs，values and strengths.Remember that goals are flexible，____4____They also need to be measurable.You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.
Your personal circumstances are equally important.For example，you may want to be a pilot but can't become one because your eyesight is not good enough.____5____You should reassess your goals，and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties，some planned，but most unplanned.You cannot overcome them without ample motivation.Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.
A．This can affect your work.
B．So how should you motivate yourself?
C．However，this should not discourage you.
D．So why should we try to set specific goals?
E．They can change according to circumstances.
F．Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.
G．Without motivation，you can neither set a goal nor reach it.
【语篇解读】　没有动力，你既无法设定目标，也无法实现目标。本文就如何保持动力来实现自己的目标提出了一些建议。
1．解析：根据空前一句“Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin”可知，此处在讲动力和设定目标之间的关系，故G项“没有动力，你既无法设定目标，也无法实现目标”符合语境。
答案：G
2．解析：第一段阐述了动力和设定目标之间的关系，结合空后的“More than that，how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal”可知，空处与空后内容形成递进关系，故B项符合语境。
答案：B
3．解析：空前讲有时候你的心思并不在工作上，由此可知空处应选A“这会影响你的工作”。
答案：A
4．解析：根据空前一句中的“goals are flexible”可知，目标是可变动的，因此E项“它们可以根据情况发生改变”符合语境。
答案：E
5．解析：空前一句说你可能想当飞行员，但因为视力不好，你的目标不能实现。再结合空后一句中的“reassess your goals...set a fresh goal”可知C项符合语境。
答案：C
Ⅲ.完形填空

Imagine that your life is like a treasure hunt.One day，a particular goal ____1____ your attention and you decide to ____2____ on a treasure hunt.You begin the long hike and encounter a ____3____ or two along the way.Already the ____4____ path is starting to look different from the buried treasure that you have been imagining.Things get ____5____ when you finally arrive at the spot.You say to yourself，“This doesn't look like the treasure I ____6____ imagined! I must be on the wrong path.I ____7____ all this time！”
You wonder，“Hmm...maybe I should ____8____ goals？”after thinking for a few moments.It's ____9____ to feel a sense of disappointment or ____10____ when this occurs，but I think the deeper problem is ____11____ in how we approached the treasure in the first place.
The ____12____ is that most people spend all of their time thinking about the treasure.The fastest way to get to a particular spot，____13____，is to set your compass and start walking.The idea here is to commit yourself to your goal with the strongest ____14____．Develop a clear，single?minded ____15____ for where you are.And then ____16____ all of your energy to the journey and be committed to the path you are walking.
In other words，your goal becomes your compass，not your buried treasure.The goal is your ____17____，not your destination.The goal is a mission that you are on，a path that you ____18____．That is just fine and worthwhile，____19____ comes from the path.It is the dedication to walking the path that ____20____．
