21、 On March 25, 2010, Kate and David heard the words every parent fears: Their newborn wasn’t going to make it. Their twins — a girl and a boy — were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks ahead of time, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he’d stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live.
“I saw him gasp, but the doctor said it was no use,” Kate told the Daily Mail five years later. “I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of life. I wasn’t going to give up easily.”
Still, the Sydney Couple knew this was likely goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him.
Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and ordered David to take his shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition. They also talked to him.
“We were trying to entice him to stay,” Kate told the Daily Mail. “We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him.” Then something miracle happened. Jamie gasped again — and then he started breathing. Finally, he reached for his father’s finger.
The couple’s lost boy had made it.
“We’re the luckiest people in the world,” David told Today.
Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The couple only recently told the kids the story of their birth. “Emily burst into tears,” Kate said. “She was really upset, and she kept hugging Jamie. This whole experience makes you cherish them more.”
【1】What can we learn about the newborn babies?
A.The girl’s heartbeat was nearly gone.
B.They were born 2 minutes before it was expected.
C.The boy showed no sign of surviving in the doctor’s words.
D.They were in bad condition and the doctor gave up saving them.
【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Jamie felt cold so Kate tried to keep him warm with a blanket.
B.Kate required to hold Jamie in the belief that she could save him.
C.The couple kept the story a secret until the twins knew it accidently.
D.The couple tried to save Jamie by contacting him physically and talking to him.
【3】What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Kate and David. B.Kate and Emily. C.Kate and Jamie. D.Jamie and Emily.
【4】What can we learn from the story?
A.Love can work wonders. B.All life is a game of luck.
C.Science fails now and then. D.Time and tide wait for no man.
22、Donna Strickland was awarded the 2018 Nobel prize for physics jointly with Arthur Ashkin and Gérard Mourou. It’s the first time in 55 years that a woman has won this famous prize, but why has it taken so long? We look at five other pioneering female physicists — past and present — who actually deserve the prize.
Jocelyn Bell Burnell
Perhaps the most famous snub(冷落): then-student Bell discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967, when she was a PhD student at Cambridge. The Nobel prize that recognized this landmark discovery in 1974, however, went to her male supervisor, Antony Hewish. Recently awarded a £2.3m Breakthrough Prize, which she gave away to help under-represented students, she joked to the Guardian，“I feel I’ve done very well out of not getting a Nobel prize.”
Lene Hau
Hau is best known for leading the research team at Harvard University in 1999 that managed to slow a beam of light, before managing to stop it completely in 2001. Often topping Nobel prize prediction lists, could 2019 be Hau’s year?
Vera Rubin
Rubin discovered dark matter in the 1980s, opening up a new field of astronomy. She died in 2016, without recognition from the committee.
Chien-Shiung Wu
Wu’s “Wu experiment” helped disprove the “law of conservation of parity”. Her experimental work was helpful but never honoured, and instead, her male colleagues won the 1957 Nobel prize for their theoretical work behind the study.
Lise Meitner
Meitner led groundbreaking work on the discovery of nuclear fission. However, the discovery was acknowledged by the 1944 Nobel prize for chemistry, which was won by her male co-lead, Otto Hahn.
【1】When was the discovery of radio pulsars recognized by the Nobel?
A．In 1944
B．In 1967.
C．In 1974.
D．In 1980.
【2】Which woman is most likely to win a Nobel prize later according to the text?
A．Donna Strickland
B．Jocelyn Bell Burnell
C．Lene Hau
D．Vera Rubin
【3】What do we know about the five females?
A．The five female scientists did greatly in chemistry.
B．Vera Rubin had opened up a new field in geometry.
C．Lise Meitner’s teacher won a Noble prize for her work.
D．All their findings haven’t been recognized by the Nobel.
23、An 18, 000-year-old human genome has been sequenced as a consequence of genetic research of ancient African skeletons, revealing information as to how the continent’s former people lived, migrated, and reproduced.
In general, DNA cannot survive in Africa’s heat and damp for lengthy periods of time, and researchers have never previously sequenced a sub-Saharan African human genome older than 9,000 years. The authors of this new study, on the other hand, regained genetic material from six people buried between 5, 000 and 18, 000 years ago.
They also looked at the records of 28 previously reported individuals found at burial sites around the continent, and these 34 people were from three unique source populations originating in northeastern, central, and southern Africa after studying their DNA. This means that the continent was originally inhabited by three distinct groups who must have lived in remote areas for long periods of time. The combination of these three branches, on the other hand, suggests that genetic information was exchanged between the three populations before 20, 000 years ago.
According to the authors of the study, this process began around 50, 000 years ago, because archaeological records suggest an increase in the movement of products over great distances around this time. People are thought to have started having offspring with partners from far-away places as trading networks grew across the continent.
However, the genomic data shows that this long-range DNA interchange began to decline some 20, 000 years ago, implying that humans began reproducing with their immediate neighbors at that time. According to the study’s authors, it may be due to the Last Glacial Maximum, when climate change may have limited people’s mobility and pushed them to become more sedentary.
In a statement, study author Jessica Thompson noted, “At first, people found their mates from a wide geographic pool. Further down the line, people valued partners who lived closer to them and were perhaps more culturally similar.” Co-author Elizabeth Sawchuk added, “Perhaps it was because previously established social networks allowed for the movement of information and technologies without requiring people to migrate.”
【1】What is the challenge of the DNA study in Africa?
A．Hot and wet climate.
B．Limited technology.
C．Too many cultural exchanges.
D．Complex human genomes.
【2】What caused the genetic information exchange around 50, 000 years ago?
A．Climate change.
B．Archaeological records.
C．Trades with distant groups.
D．Development in technology.
【3】What is the meaning of the underlined word “sedentary” in Paragraph 5?
A．Stable.
B．Diverse.
C．Active.
D．Reproductive.
【4】What can we learn from the ancient social network according to the passage?
A．Distant social exchange was booming 50, 000 years ago.
B．Long-ranged DNA interchange started to occur 20, 000 years ago.
C．Communication with people from similar cultures was always favored.
D．Migration declined when social networks for information became mature.
24、Small amounts of exercise could have a great effect on happiness.
According to a new review of research about good moods and physical activities, people who work out even once a week or for as little as 10 minutes a day tend to be more cheerful than those who never exercise. And any type of exercise may be helpful.
A number of past studies have noted that physically active people have much lower risks of developing depression and anxiety than people who rarely move.
Fewer past studies explored links between physical activity and upbeat emotions, especially in people who already were psychologically healthy, and those studies often looked at a single age group or type of exercise.
So for the new review, the Michigan researchers found, exercise was strongly linked to happiness. The type of exercise did not seem to matter. Some happy people walked or jogged. Others practiced yoga-style posing and stretching. And the amount of exercise needed to influence happiness was slight. In several studies, people who worked out only once or twice a week said they felt much happier than those who never exercised. In other studies, 10 minutes a day of physical activity was linked with happy moods.
But because most of the studies in this review were observational, it is not possible yet to establish whether exercise directly causes changes in happiness or if the two just happen to occur together often. In that case, exercise would not have helped to make people happy; rather, their happiness would have helped to make them exercisers
【1】Who is the least happy, according to the passage?
A．People who work out once a week.
B．People who only run for ten minutes a day.
C．People who never exercise.
D．People who practice yoga-style posing.
【2】What did researchers find in past studies?
A．The links between physical activities and happy emotion.
B．The relationship between exercise and depression.
C．Exercise can cause anxiety.
D．Exercise can never affect our moods.
【3】What kind of exercise can affect happiness according to the Michigan research?
A．Jogging.
B．Yoga.
C．Walking.
D．Any exercise.
【4】What will the researchers do next?
A．Study whether exercise directly changes happiness.
B．Show the reasons for happiness.
C．Tell people how to exercise.
D．Recommend some forms of exercise.
