This International Women's Day, we're celebrating four women who changed the face of science forever.

Anandibai Joshee, born in 1865 in India, became India's first woman physician with a medical degree. After graduation from a Woman's Medical College, she accepted an offer from the governor minister of Kolhapur in India to serve as “Lady Doctor of Kolhapur”. She died at 21 from tuberculosis. Despite her short life, Joshee's accomplishments were unprecedented for an Indian woman, and her achievements open the door for other Indian women to quickly follow.

Mamie Clark, an American social psychologist, specialized in child development in black children. In 1946, Clark and Kenneth founded the only mental health organization for black children in New York. Clark was awarded the American Association of University achievement award in 1973, and ten years later the National Coalition of 100 Black Women awarded her the Candace Award for humanitarianism.

Geochemist Katsuko Saruhashi was born in Tokyo in 1920. Saruhashi became the first woman elected to the Science Council of Japan, the first woman to win the Miyake Prize for Geochemistry, and the first woman recipient of an award from the Society of Sea Water Science in Japan. In 1981, she founded the Saruhashi Prize, a prize awarded annually to a female role model in science.

Born in Los Angeles, California, Ochoa was the first Latina woman to fly in space as

part of the crew of the shuttle Discovery in 1993. In 1990, Ochoa was selected to astronaut candidacy as part of a group of twenty-three NASA astronauts, and became an astronaut a year later. Her first spaceflight was aboard Discovery as a mission specialist and lasted nine days, in which the crew conducted scientific experiments and deployed a research satellite to study the solar corona.

American Mark Levine wears many hats in China-educator, author, volunteer, musician, sociologist, cross-cultural communicator, winner of the Chinese government's Friendship Award, and, most noticeably, wide-brimmed.

The bushy-bearded 73-year-old is perhaps best known among the Chinese public for writing American country music-style songs about China that he performs in full cowboy regalia. He often sings and plays his guitar to the accompaniment of the erhu played by his friend, Fu Han, in their musical duo, In Side Out. Levine has staged hundreds of performances in 15 provinces, and one had an audience over 50,000, he says.

Fu Han recalls he once performed in a well-known bar in Beijing's Houhai area, and she joined him on stage with her erhu. "A group of tourists from northern Europe came up and watched and filmed us, and started singing with us. I realized a Chinese instrument and face can help better tell China's stories to foreigners. “So, they officially became band mates. "I'm the 'in' and he's the 'out' in In Side Out，” she explains.

Levine plans to release a song book when he reaches 100 songs. He has so far written over 70 tunes that he calls "musical stories from my Chinese journey,, since he settled in Beijing in 2007 to take an occupation at Minzu University of China, where he still works, largely on account of its ethnic diversity.

Levine says two highlights during his time in the country have been winning the Friendship Award in 2014 and receiving his Chinese “green card” in 2016. Levine hopes it increases cross-cultural understanding. One of his friends says Levine is particularly apt for the task. "Mark is a perfect ambassador for humanity, so to speak, who has found his ideal place here,“ he says.

4.   What can we learn from Levine's musical achievement?

1.     He has released a book about his songs.

3.    His biggest concert attracted nearly 50,000 audiences.
4.     He combined American music style with Chinese stories.

5.   Why did he determine to work at Minzu University of China?

1.     He desired to settle in Beijing.
2.    He could win the Friendship Award.
3.     He could be exposed to diverse cultures.
4.     He could find more musical stories there.

6.   What's the meaning of the underlined word “apt” in the last paragraph?

A. Intelligent. B. Suitable. C. Reliable. D. Enthusiastic.

7.   Which of the following can best describe Levine?

A. Devoted and outspoken. B. Attentive and generous.

C. Intelligent and sensitive. D. Active and productive.

C

Numerous studies, including a 2019 review in the journal Annual Research & Review in Biology, have found that both performing and listening to music can have a significant impact on the immune system.

“Certainly music has an impact on the brain, and anxiety and stress impact the immune system,” said Andrew Levin, a neurologist at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Levin, an amateur trumpet player who performs with several local ensembles, said he's not an expert in the ways music interacts with the brain. But it works for him. "Music is a part of my stress release paradigm,“ he said. "We know that music can affect brain states, so I don't believe it is much of a stretch to say that music can indirectly affect our physiology, and there is research that supports this notion. ”

According to a 2013 review in the journal Brain Behavior and Immunity, the emotional and psychological effects of listening to music have direct impacts on biomarkers and hormone levels. There is also general consensus among researchers that listening to music reduces cortisol （皮质醇）levels.

Does the type of music matter? It does. Prior associations and relationships with different types of music affect how your body responds. In general, research indicates that “relaxing music” (i. e. slower pace, peaceful music) is better for calming tense nerves， decreasing blood pressure and breath and settling the heart rate.

Singing a different tune? Potvin, a professor of music therapy at Duquesne University, is skeptical of some of the research linking music with the immune system, questioning whether it's healthy to use music or any other tool to resist anxiety. "The research is superficial, though I don't mean that in a negative way,“ he said. "I think the information we have is valuable, but we need to go deeper. ”

8.   What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Music. B. Brain. C. Immune system.                     D. The research.

9.   What do we know about relaxing music according to the text?

1.     It has fast rhythm.
2.    It contributes to a stable heart rate.
3.    It does no good to calm tense nerves.
4.     It can increase blood pressure and breath.

10.    What do we learn from the last paragraph?

1.     Potvin has some prejudice about the research.
2.    Potvin thinks further study about it is necessary.
3.    Potvin questions whether music effectively resists anxiety.
4.     Potvin is convinced of the impact of music on the immune system.

11.    What might be the best title of the text?

A. What's the function of music? B. Does music benefit your brain?

C. How to promote your immune system? D. Can music boost your immune system?

D

For 30 years, Alaska's northern fur seal population has not increased. But the ocean mammals are appearing in growing numbers in one unlikely place—a small island that forms the tip of an active undersea volcano. Bogoslof Island is distant and unpopulated. It sits in the eastern Bering Sea. Openings on the ground there release mud, steam and sulfurous gases, but northern fur seals find the island to be a good place for giving birth and raising their young.

It is unclear why the seals have chosen to live on an active volcanic island instead of other unpopulated islands in the area. "The surface is covered with these big blocks, some as big as 10 meters in length, which were exploded out of the vent,” said Chris Waythomas, a U. S. Geological Survey research scientist.

Northern fur seals get their name from their extremely thick fur； they have about 60,000 hairs per square centimeter. When Russian Emperor Alexander II needed money and decided to sell Alaska to the United States in 1867, fur was one of the future state's known valuables.

Most of the world's northern fur seals live in the eastern Bering Sea area. They live in the ocean from November to June and return to land in summer, when they breed and nurse pups. Between 1950 and 1988, the northern fur seal population dropped from 2. 1 million to 1. 1 million. Scientists do not know why they have not made a comeback. Northern fur seals were first seen on Bogoslof in 1980. NOAA researchers have since carried out periodic studies of the population.

Volcanic activity on Bogoslof has remained mostly stable. But Gelatt's crew chose not to camp there during their week-long visit in August. They feared an explosion could shoot up huge rocks. Instead, they made day trips from a secured boat. The crew counted the number of seals and examined whether images taken from above by an unpiloted aircraft could be used in future counts.

12.    What's the text mainly about?

A. The scientists are worried about the extinction of seals.

2.    The environment protection is crucial to wild animals.
3.     The northern fur seals are on the rise on Bogoslof Island.
4.     The northern fur seals like distant and unpopulated places.

13.    What do Chris Waythomas, words mean?

A. The conditions on Bogoslof Island are tough and terrible.

2.    An active undersea volcano makes Bogoslof Island livable.
3.    Bogoslof Island is suitable for the northern fur seals to live on
4.     It's reasonable for the northern fur seals to live on a small island.

14.    What can be learned from the paragraph 3 & 4?

1.      The northern fur seals breed and nurse pups in winter.
2.    The northern fur seals' thick fur is of no value nowadays.
3.     There were about 1. 1 million northern fur seals on the island.
4.     It's not clear why northern fur seal population has not increased.

15.    How did researchers guarantee their safety during the study?

1.      By observing in the distance.
2.    By doing the research inside an aircraft
3.    By taking a boat with protective equipment every day.
4.     By using photos shot by an unmanned vehicle to count seals.

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。

All left-handed humans have not had it easy in the world. In many cultures and in the dark ages, left-handed people have generally been seen as the devil.

The word "left" in English comes from the Anglo-Saxon word “lyft”，which means weak or broken. The Oxford English Dictionary defines "left-handed" as meaning defective, awkward or clumsy. 16   A "left-handed compliment" and a "left-handed marriage” can be set as examples. The former does not mean sincere praise but indicates an insult. The latter, as you may notice, refers to an illegal or informal marriage, which, in particular, involves one side of royal or noble birth and the other of lower rank.

In some certain cultures, things go beyond that. 17   In Nigeria, for instance, taking or giving anything to anyone with your left hand is assumed that you lack home training.

18    Many people around you in China, if asked, would tell you they were forced by their parents or teachers, to write with their right hand. Strangely enough, none of those elders can say what an actual problem there is with left-handedness. If it has to do with the fear of that child not being prosperous, there are a lot of left-handed personalities doing well and breaking grounds. The possible explanation here maybe lies in their long- held prejudice. 19  

Two-thirds of the world still view left-handedness as a shortcoming but it isn't. 20     That is what C. R. Manske points out, “Life without left-handed people wouldn't be right. ”             

1.     And that is not the only case.
2.    The following two examples can best reflect this point.
3.    A tiny gesture or movement with the left hand can mean a lot.
4.    Namely, people tend to believe in common ideas instead of the reality.
5.    The way forward for the left-handers is for them to be accepted as they are.
6.    Certain phrases in English suggest a rather negative view of “left-handedness”.
7.     In other words, different deep-rooted beliefs originate from different cultures.

For years, our children often asked us if we could get a dog. When faced with it, my husband and I had some 21    responses, such as “Someday?" and “Maybe when you're old enough. " Then 22    2020, the year of our pandemic dread. Sometime between my mother's livestreamed 23    this spring and back — to — school that never seemed to happen this fall, “maybe" 24     "yes" and “someday“ became “as soon as possible”.

We had lost so much during the pandemic — my mother, my grandmother... Hence, 25    a puppy became an attraction for all of us. PUPPY DAY!!! was soon written down and 26 on the calendar.

Our new puppy finally came 27    in mid-November and has brought a lot of joy to us. The kids picked a name “Peggy“ and refused to consider others. I tell Peggy several times a day what a 28 angel she is, using a 29    I wouldn't have dreamed of using even with my children. I've filled my Twitter and Instagram feeds with 30   of her. Every night, I spend a couple of quiet, peaceful hours enjoying cuddle time with her on the couch she wasn't supposed to be 31    on.

When I tell people that Peggy has 32 me this year — it's true. Peggy has given our weary, 33 family a new shared focus, an emotional center that isn't all about our 34     . She's given us all a new 35    to put our love in and brought us back to ourselves.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Daryl was a lorry driver and on his shortest way to Los Angeles there was a weather-beaten bridge he had to drive over day after day for almost 3 years.

Staying at home alone, his 66-year-old mum got into a strange habit of telling his sweet son the headline of the noon news on the phone. It was a daily routine for Daryl to pick up the cellphone at 12： 30 when he was about to drive away from the old shabby bridge. Unbelievable as it sounded, it was true, though.

The sun today was rising when Daryl's delivery truck reached the highway. This was the best time of day to drive, when the roads were wide open and empty. He felt sure he was going to make it to Los Angeles before nightfall, or he would have annoyed his boss. All looked like it was going to be a good day.

Two hours later, out of  nowhere, he saw it, a large lump in the middle of the road. Daryl often passed dead animals on the roadside but he knew that this was something different. He slammed on his brakes and the truck screeched to a halt.

It turned out to be a girl. Daryl jumped down, raced forward and tried shaking her awake but she wouldn't move, so he lifted her up and carried her to the side of  the road. At least she wouldn't be run over there.

Now she was someone else's problem. He had to make it to Los Angeles by nightfall and didn't have time to be a hero. He climbed back into his truck but as he looked in his mirror and saw the girl lying still by the side of the road, he was deep in thought, “What if she was smelt by wild animals around or knocked again by other drivers passing by?”
