21、 John B. Goodenough, an engineering professor from the University of Texas at Austin, has been awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry-jointly with M. Stanley Whittingham, a chemistry professor from the State University of New York and Japan’s Akira Yoshino, a professor of Meijo University-for the development of lithium-ion batteries (锂电池). According to the Nobel Committee, the three scientists “have created the right conditions for a wireless and fossil fuel-free society, and so brought the greatest benefit to humankind”.
Goodenough, born in 1922, identified and developed the key materials that can power portable electronics, leading to the wireless revolution. Today, batteries containing Goodenough’s innovations are used worldwide for mobile phones, power tools, laptops, tablets and other wireless devices, as well as electric vehicles.
Goodenough received a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Yale University and a doctorate in physics from the university of Chicago. He beat the odds against him, first overcoming dyslexia (阅读困难症) as a child, and then the claim of a teacher who told the doctoral student in his 20s that he had started too late to be successful in physics.
He began his career in 1952 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Lincoln Laboratory, where he laid the groundwork for the development of random-access memory (RAM) for the digital computer. After MIT, Goodenough became a professor and head of the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory at the University of Oxford where in 1979 he discovered it would be possible to store energy in rechargeable batteries through lithium cobalt oxide (锂钴氧化物).That discovery helped develop the lithium-ion battery. Goodenough joined the University of Texas at Austin in 1986, where his groundbreaking work continued.
At 97 years old, he still continues to push the boundaries of materials science. Despite the lithium-ion battery being well developed and available as a commercial product, it has its limitations. It can’t be charged too fast or overcharged. Goodenough still wants to see some new developments.
“I hope Ut-Austin still keeps me employed,” Goodenough once joked.
【1】The underlined phrase “beat the odds” in Paragraph 3 means “ “.
A.become very famous B.face the challenges
C.win the competition D.overcome the difficulties
【2】What can we infer from the passage?
A.In MIT, Goodenough made the important discovery leading to the development of the Lithium-ion battery.
B.When he studied for his doctorate in university, not all his teachers encouraged him to be successful.
C.According to the Nobel Committee, Goodenough made the greatest contributions in the discovery.
D.Because of his old age, Goodenough found it difficult to improve the limitations of the lithium-ion battery.
【3】What is the best title for the text?
A.The Father of the Lithium-ion Batteries. B.Three Scientists are Awarded the Nobel Prize.
C.Make the World “Good enough”. D.It’s Never too Old to Learn.
22、 Environmental experts warn that our planet is drowning in plastic.
The world’s cities produce 2 billion tons of trash every year. By the year 2050 that number is expected to rise to 3 billion tons. The World Bank estimates that the largest amount of trash today, about 44 percent, is plastic. But we often have to buy packaged goods. And often that packaging is made of plastic.
Now, that may be changing. A new environmentally-friendly shopping model was recently launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. This shopping model, called Loop, aims to replace throwaway containers with reusable ones.
Loop is the idea of Terra Cycle, an American-based recycling company. Its chief, Tom Szaky, told the Associated Press (AP) that “removing plastics from the ocean is not enough. ” He said the point is to get away from single-use packages. Szaky said that Loop is the future of shopping. But it comes from an idea of the past.
He compared it to the “milkman model” of the 1950s in the United States. Back then, someone brought milk to your doorstep in glass bottles and then left with empty bottles. These could be cleaned and used again. The result is zero-waste.
Jennifer Morgan from the environmental non-profit organization Greenpeace also joined in the discussion about Loop at Davos. She said that “Greenpeace welcomes the aim of the Loop Alliance to move away from throwaway culture and disposability”. But Morgan questioned whether companies worldwide are ready to change their business models.
Loop is set to launch later 2019 in three eastern U. S. states, and also in Paris, France and some of the surrounding areas. Then Loop plans to expand to the U. S. West Coast, Toronto, Canada and Britain by the end of this year or 2020.
【1】What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?
A．Provide background information.
B．Advocate zero-waste lifestyle.
C．Explain the reason for trash.
D．Introduce a new topic.
【2】Where does the idea “Loop” come from?
A．The World Economic Forum.
B．Demand of some companies.
C．Zero-waste model.
D．Jennifer Morgan.
【3】Which countries is Loop expected to expand to by 2020?
A．United States and Switzerland.
B．Switzerland and Britain.
C．Canada and Britain.
D．France and Canada.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．A new shopping model.
B．The development of future city.
C．The world’s environmental issue.
D．The concerns of future shopping.
23、In the early days of human history, people survived by hunting wild animals, or gathering wild grains and plants for food. Then, some people learned to grow crops and raise animals for food. They were the first farmers.
From the sixteenth century on, the word “farm” has meant agricultural land. But a much older meaning of the word “farm” is linked to economics. The word “farm” comes from the Latin word “firma”, which means an unchanging payment. Experts say the earliest meaning of the English word “farm” was a yearly payment made as a tax or rent.
Farmers in early England did not own their land. They paid every year to use agricultural lands. In England, farmers used hawthorn trees along the edges of houses. They called this row of hawthorns a hedge. Hedging fields was how careful farmers marked and protected them. Soon, people began to use the word “hedging” to describe steps that could be taken to protect against financial loss. Hedging is common among gamblers who make large bets. A gambler bets a lot of money on one team. But, to be on the safe side, he also places a smaller bet on the other team, to reduce a possible loss.
You might say that someone is hedging his bet when he invests in several different kinds of business. One business may fail, but likely not all. Farmers know that it is necessary to make hay while the sun shines. Hay has to be cut and gathered when it is dry. So a wise farmer never postpones gathering his hay when the sun is shining. Rain may soon appear. A wise person copies the farmer. He works when conditions are right.
【1】We can know from the 3rd paragraph that farmers in early England _________.
A. had land of their own B. paid to use hawthorn trees every year
C. used hedging fields D. often suffered from financial loss
【2】Which of the following is wise?
A. A mother tries to sleep as soon as her baby is quiet
B. Hay has to be cut and gathered before it is dry
C. Put off gathering hay when the sun is shining
D. Gather hay as it is rainy
【3】If a boy is carefully listening to his teacher in class, he learns to _________.
A. become a wise farmer B. hedge his bet
C. gather his hay D. make hay while the sun shines
24、 With the graduation season approaching, millions of young college students are preparing to walk out of their schools and start their careers, But how will they take those first steps to transition (转变) from students to workers in today's fast-paced society?
A new show, the Shining One from Jiangsu TV, has caught the attention of young viewers who hope to learn how their peers are adjusting to this transition.
