21、I don’t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field controlled by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.
At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement — jobs, research papers, awards — was viewed from the angle of gender（性别）. So were my failures.
Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations（挑衅）: I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist?
Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And Idon’t dismiss those concerns. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.
【1】Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?
A．She finds space research more important.
B．She is not good at telling stories of the kind.
C．She is fed up with the issue of sexual discrimination.
D．She feels unhappy working in male-controlled fields.
【2】According to Paragraph 2, what bothered the author constantly?
A．People’s fixed attitude toward female scientists.
B．Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science.
C．Widespread misunderstanding about her space research.
D．Unfair treatment from both inside and outside her circle.
【3】What does the underlined sentence convey?
A．Women should do science experiments while having a baby.
B．Women can balance a career in science and having a family.
C．Women now have fewer problems pursuing a science career.
D．Women have more barriers on their way to academic success.
22、When someone is happy, can you smell it?
You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile, hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug. But can you also smell their happiness? Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent, and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell, reports Phys.org.
For the study, 12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them. All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers, and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period.
Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell, while researchers monitored their reactions. Only women were selected to smell the samples, apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling—though it's unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents.
Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents—particularly their facial expressions—indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them.
“Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell,” said study co-author Gun Semin, a professor at Koc University in Turkey.
This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent, but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others. The study also found that other emotions, such as fear, seem to carry a scent too. This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell, but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings.
Researchers have yet to isolate(分离) exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is, but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be. Happiness perfumes, for instance, could be invented. Scent therapies（香味疗法）could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety.
Perhaps the most surprising result of the study, however, is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated, and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us.
【1】What is the main finding of the new research?
A. Pleasant feelings can be smelt out.
B. Negative emotions have a smell.
C. Men produce more sweats.
D. Women have a better sense of smell.
【2】The underlined part “abstain from” in Paragraph 3 probably means _________.
A. continue B. practice C. avoid D. try
【3】What is the application value of the new research?
A. Perfumes could help people understand each other.
B. Some smells could be created to improve our appearance.
C. Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases.
D. Some smells could be developed to better our mood.
【4】 We can learn from the last paragraph that .
A. happiness comes from a scent of sweat
B. social surroundings can influence our emotions
C. people need more emotional communication
D. positive energy can deepen understanding
23、Mark Smith and Jarryd Haines are good friends. The two boys from Sydney have known each other for most of their lives. Both of them enjoy playing Australian football.
A few years ago, when Mark was nine, he developed brain cancer. The disease robbed the boy of his sight, part of his hearing and his ability to play his favorite sport. However, throughout the years, Jarryd remained his closest friend. They still share their love of Australian football. And they still enjoy talking about the Sydney Swans, their favorite team.
Two weeks ago, I took my seat at Sydney Cricket Ground to watch the Swans. The old stadium was crowded with fans. Shortly into the second quarter, heard some great commentary(实况报道） from a boy. Play by play, Jarryd was bringing the game to life. I turned and saw him. Mark was sitting next to him.
Although he cannot see anymore, Mark still loves the Swans very much. Usually, he goes to the stadium and listens to the commentary on the radio. However, in the second quarter of that match, the radio system broke down. That was when his friend Jarryd stepped in.
I hardly looked at the Swans and Buddy, the team’s star player. Instead, I was focusing on Jarryd and Mark. “What’s happening now, mate?” Mark asked. “Don’t worry. Mark,” Jarryd replied. “Okay. Buddy’s got it. Will he go for it? He’s going for it! It’s his tenth goal! Buddy is on fire!” Mark listened carefully. He was lost in the magic of Australian football brought to life by his friend.
Sports can be competitive. However, they can also allow us to share wonderful moments with others, may they be close friends or perfect strangers. Here, Jarryd and Mark have moved me, and perhaps some other spectators（观众）, with the best commentary.
【1】Why didn’t Mark play Australian football any longer?
A．He took up new hobby.
B．He lost his sight .
C．He was unable to play it because of his disease.
D．His favorite team-the Sydney Swans lost the game.
【2】What did Jarryd do for Mark at the stadium?
A．He helped him step into the stadium.
B．He made Buddy score his tenth goal.
C．He was lost in the magic of Australian football.
D．He provided commentary for him when the radio system failed.
【3】Which of following words best describe Jarryd?
A．Generous and active.
B．Considerate and patient.
C．Diligent and ambitious.
D．Competitive and smart
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．A lively commentary.
B．The Swans and Buddy.
C．An Australian football match.
D．The precious friendship between two boys.
24、For the past few years, several companies have tried self-cooling undershirts, wrist-worn cooling plates, and windowless cooling machines as extreme heat waves spread across the world. But so far, none seems quite as practical as the Coolify, a $150 wearable that hangs around your neck.
Torras, the company behind Coolify, says its product is different from those cheap neck fans, even if it looks similar on the surface. That’s largely because of its ceramic (陶瓷的) cooling plate that sits right behind your neck. By running the plate, the device creates a cooling sense. “Basically, a neck fan can sometimes just blow hot air around,” Torras spokesman Jackson Wightman says. “This is genuinely an air conditioner as a result of the cooling plate.”
The Coolify comes in smooth plastic and has circular speaker grilles (格栅) on either side of its horseshoe design, somewhat like a pair of headphones. Look through either grille, and you’ll see a fan that draws in air and pushes it out through the long pair of passages above.
The device runs on a built-in battery that charges via USB-C. Torras says the battery lasts between two hours and eight hours on a charge, depending on which of its three fan speeds (H/M/L) you select.
Spending $150 on this might seem expensive. But the real appeal of a device like Coolify---and of wearable air conditioners (A/C) in general---is that they can spare you from having to turn on the A/C just when one person is feeling hot. The Coolify fulfills that goal, so we could pay for it in the long run.
【1】Why did some companies try to make self-cooling machines?
A．Self-cooling machines are easy to carry.
B．Science and technology is developing.
C．Traditional air conditioners are out of date.
D．The globe is becoming hotter and hotter.
【2】What makes Coolify different from a neck fan?
A．It uses smooth plastic.
B．It has circular speaker grilles.
C．It adopts a horseshoe design.
D．It adopts ceramic cooling plate.
【3】How can you make Coolify run as long as possible on a charge?
A．By charging it for 8 hours.
B．By choosing a built-in battery.
C．By choosing the low fan speed.
D．By using USB-C to offer power for it.
【4】What does the author think of the Coolify from the last paragraph?
A．It is the best.
B．It is worth buying.
C．It is expensive.
D．It is better than the A/C.
