At schl, I was in the tp set fr maths. My teacher recmmended that I study ecnmics andstatistics as my A-level subjects, but I had my mind set n a life filled with the arts.
In fact, I was a victim f gender steretypes that men d science r maths and wmen d art rlanguages. Cmputer science, technlgy and physics just did nt figure in my teenage wrld view. Ngirls ppular in my schl chse t study thse subjects.
Reality struck hard when I began attending jb interviews and interviewers wuld say, “It’s great yuspeak freign languages, but what else can yu d?” Nbdy asked my friends wh had studied science rtechnlgy thse questins.
A recent survey shwed that three f the best-paid jbs fr wmen are in the technlgy sectr. It’s a sectr that really can change the wrld. We must shw girls that technlgy has an effect n every industry, frm fashin t architecture. Anybdy can learn t cde prgrams and these days it’s as imprtant asreading and writing. I’ve realized that at university I’d achieved the wrng kind f literacy.
Nt being able t cde prgrams limits yur impact n the wrld far mre than ignrance f greatliterature.
Nw I have a five-year-ld daughter. I dn’t want her t blindly fllw gender rles the way I did. Iwant her t knw the fact that a science r technical degree will nt limit her creativity but expand it andbraden her hrizns far mre than my arts backgrund can. I’m expsing her t Minecraft and apps, whichhelp imprve analytical thinking and prblem slving skills. I’m hping that my daughter will discver andaccept her ptential fr science and want t change the wrld.
21. What des the underlined phrase“gender steretypes” in Paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Persnal learning style.B. Sex characteristics.C. Cnventinal sex cncepts.D. Prfessin difference.
22. Accrding t the authr, which may be the benefit f learning science?
A. Imprving language cmpetence.B. Increasing jb pssibilities.
C. Winning ppularity.D. Understanding great literature.
23. Hw did the authr feel fr her majr chice?
A. Satisfied.B. Active.C. Discuraged.D. Regretful.

Blmberg reprted n the status f Tky Bay, the pen water swimming venue fr triathletes (铁人三项运动员). Blmberg’s reprt actually sums itself up quite nicely in just tw wrds:“It stinks.”
The questin f water quality first came up in 2019. During a water test prir t a paratriathln race, E.cli was detected in mre than duble the amunt allwed fr cmpetitin by the Internatinal TriathlnUnin. A lcal newspaper quted ne athlete as saying the bay“smelled like a tilet”.
Where the prblems lie in this specific case is that there have been cncerns ver the pllutin inTky Bay fr a very lng time. This is due t the Tky metrplis having a mixed sewage (污水) system.In a mixed sewage system, drainage (排水系统) fr rainwater and sewage are cmbined, nt separate.
Accrding t Blmberg’s reprt, during times f flding, untreated sewage system gets flusheddirectly int the bay in an effrt t avid fld damage. S, what happens t the untreated waste water thatgets pumped directly int the bay? Fr the mst part, it simply stays in the bay. Accrding t research byKibuchi, due t the size and depth f the bay, apprximately 60 percent f the water in the bay is frm therivers and Tky’s drainpipes.
In respnse t that water test, Tky put frward new effrts t clean up the pllutin in the bay. Thesesteps include dumping massive amunts f sand int the bay, putting in plyester screens t prtect againstE.cli, and installing new strage tanks t hld fld runff, s it can be treated befre being released intthe bay. Despite these measures, the bay has been emitting an unpleasant smell fr a few weeks, accrdingt Blmberg’s reprt.
24. Accrding t the passage, E.cli ______.
A. can be a harmful substanceB. cmes frm the bdy f a sea animal
C. may help clean the seaD. is a kind f husehld waste
25. What causes Tky Bay t smell unpleasant?
A. Rainwater trapped in it.B. The ld strage tank.
C. Untreated sewage system.D. Fldwater frm the grund.
26. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. The sand dumped int the bay wrks well t reduce the smell f the bay.
B. The effrts newly made greatly prevent the bay frm emitting a bad smell.
C. The measures taken lately in respnse t the water test are nt s effective.
D. Frequent water tests help t prevent against water pllutin.
27. What will pssibly be discussed in the paragraph that fllws?
A. The bad effect f sewage.B. The further measures t be taken.
C. Different pinins abut the previus measures.D. Athletes: attitude t the unpleasant smelling.

Falls are the leading cause f injury death and the mst cmmn cause f death in hspital amngpeple 65 and ver. But nw the gd news is that scientists have develped a“magic carpet”. It desn’t fly, and it wn’t take yu ver, sideways, and under n a ride thrugh the Arabian night sky, but it can use tinysensrs t map peple’s walking patterns - patterns that may then be analyzed t predict and even preventfalls.
British researchers say their inventin culd sund a warming befre the fall, simply by mnitring apersn’s every step, using a series f fibre ptic cables (光纤维) wven int the carpet. Laid beneath acarpet, tiny electrnics can bend when anyne steps n it and act as sensrs sending signals t a cmputer, which can be analyzed t shw the image f the ftprint and spt gradual changes in walking behaviur ra sudden incident like a fall.
Each year, mre than a third f lder adults suffer a fall and with the wrld’s ppulatin aging everyyear, that number is likely t increase. The researchers believe the technlgy culd be used t fit smartcarpets in care hmes r hspitals, as well as being fitted in peple’s hmes if necessary.
Dr. Patricia Scully, frm The University f Manchester’s Phtn Science Institute, believes the magiccarpet culd be vital nt nly fr helping peple in the immediate result f a fall, but als in identifyinglittle changes in peple’s walking habits which might nt be sptted by a family member r carer.
This is really exciting research wrk using technlgies t prevent falls and demnstrates hwengineers, scientists and healthcare prfessinals, can wrk tgether t develp new and innvative healthcare technlgies that make a real difference in practice.
28. Which f the fllwing statements is TRUE?
A. The carpet can use sensrs t give a map fr walking directin.
B. The warning alarm ges ff the mment the fall takes place.
C. The carpet represents a jint effrt f scientists frm different backgrunds.
D. Besides the carpet, a family member can identify the little changes in walking habits.
29. The best title f the passage might be ______.
A. Researchers find a cure fr falls
B. The magic carpet stps elderly falling ver
C. A new technlgy can change elderly’s walking behaviur
D. Smart equipment fr elderly peple is n the way
30. Yu can mst prbably see this article in ______.
