Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times. Dozens of women have won the Nobel Prize in science, one of the highest honors in the world. Some women scientists never married, some worked with their husbands, and others raised large families. It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists.

In the early 1800s in England, Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth. Mary and her father collected fossils(化石)in their village on the south coast of Great Britain. Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years.

When she was only twelve years old, Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons (骨架)of several animals that no longer existed on earth. She didn’t become famous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family.

In 1891, a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics. She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland. She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together. They received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 along with another scientist. Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Nobel Prize in 1911, this time in Chemistry. Marie Curie was one of the few women at the time that became famous as a scientist.

4．What does the author think of women scientists according to Paragraph 1?

A．They go through difficulties to be successful.

B．They cannot get the highest honors in the world.

C．They had better pay more attention to their families.

D．They have more opportunities to become successful.

5．Why did Mary fail to be famous for her discoveries of fossils?

A．She didn’t want to be known to anyone.

B．They weren’t worth studying.

C．Nobody recognized them.

D．She sold them for money.

6．What can we know about Marie Curie?

A．She finished her college education in Poland.

B．She was the first woman to win two Nobel Prizes.

C．She won the first Nobel Prize before getting married.

D．She and her husband won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

B．Some stories of women scientists.

C．Successful marriages of women scientists.

D．Some women scientists winning the Nobel Prize.

C

Half of US dog owners and 62 percent of American cat owners share the sheets with their pets, a practice that sleep experts warn can lead to sleep deprivation (剥夺). Besides，Mayo Clinic found that more than half of the patients seeking consultations at its sleep clinic were pet owners whose sleep was disturbed by their cats or dogs in 2014.

However, a 2018 study found that is not the case. Researchers from Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona, surveyed 150 of the patients who visited the facility’s center for sleep medicine. Every participant received a piece of paper and answered questions on it about their sleeping habits, their pets’ behavior, sleeping locations and how their pets affected their nightly sleep.

The researchers found that 56 percent of the study participants shared their bed or bedroom with their cat or dog. However, while 20 percent reported disturbed sleep because of their pets, 41 percent said that their pets presence in bed actually helped them sleep better.

Those who reported sleeping more soundly when their pets were present said that having them in the bedroom or on the bed offered them relaxation and provided a sense of companionship and security. Single sleepers were especially likely to report that sharing a bed with a cat or dog helped them get some shut-eye.

“Participants described feeling secure, content and relaxed when their pet slept nearby,” the study authors wrote. “The value of these experiences, although poorly understood, cannot be dismissed because sleep is dependent on a state of physical and mental relaxation.”

A similar small study published by the researchers from the University of Alberta found that having pets in bed can help people with chronic (慢性的) pain sleep better, while also easing feelings of loneliness and anxiety.

“They liked the physical contact with their dogs — cuddling before bed, and how it distracted them from feeling anxious about being alone at night,” researcher Cary Brown said. “They felt more relaxed and safer, so they weren’t anxious as they were trying to sleep.”

8．What is the 2018 study based on?

A．A controlled experiment of sleep.

B．A questionnaire survey of the patients.

C．The comparison of the patients’ sleeping habits.

D．The long-term observation of all the participants.

9．What can be concluded from the two studies mentioned in the text?

A．Sleeping with pets is beneficial.

B．It is painful to sleep with pets.

C．Some people suffer from loneliness.

D．Physical relaxation is important to our health.

10．How do people sleeping with pets feel according to Cary Brown?

A．Distracted.    B．Crowded.       C．Calm.      D．Nervous.

11．What would be the best title for the text?

A．Sleeping has something to do with health

B．Owners can get on well with their pets

C．It is hard for people to sleep soundly

D．Pets may help you sleep better

D

  There are many ways to travel within a city. We can walk, cycle, or take a bus. But no matter which way we travel, we have to stick to the route(线路) the city planners laid down for us.

Parkour practitioners (跑酷爱好者), however, see the city in a completely different way. To them, there are no fixed routes. There are no walls and no stairs—since they jump, climb, roll and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything that they find in their path. The city is their playground.

The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has noticed that this activity is drawing more and more people to it—there are 100,000 people taking part in parkour today in the UK alone, according to the Guardian—and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination(协调性) and balance. So the organization is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the Olympics by 2024.

But parkour practitioners themselves don’t seem to be happy with the idea. They see parkour as “a lifestyle”, wrote the website NextSportStar. “It’s a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport.”

Indeed, many do parkour just to “escape the daily routine(事务) and experience the city in different ways”, wrote reporter Oli Mould on The Conversation. They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure.

It’s great that the FIG wants to develop new sport and stay close to a new cultural form. But it would be greater if they knew that not everything in life is a competition.

12．How do the parkour practitioners do parkour?

A．They move on as they wish.    B．They choose the routes the city planners laid down.

C．They run faster than others.     D．They stick to certain routes.

13．Why does the FIG want to add parkour to the Olympics?

A．It’s a special way of life. B．It draws their attention.

C．It’s good for people to keep healthy. D．It needs some rules and instructions.

14．What is the author’s idea on parkour?

A．It is more formal than other sports. B．It helps people to be creative.

C．It’s worth adding to the sporting event. D．It calls on people to work as a team.

15．What is the best title for the passage?

A．A new sports competition B．Parkour practitioners

C．Training in a different way D．Making the city their own

Escape the busy city life

Why go camping? 16． Once your tent and campsite is set-up, you don’t have to worry about cleaning, laundry or any other tasks that seem to consume your everyday life. And it’s a chance for you to turn off the smart phone, computer and other electronics to just sit back and relax.

52．One possible version:
Dear Jack,
     How is everything going? I am very glad to learn that you are coming to China this summer. You said you are worried about having difficulty in communicating in Chinese. Now let me tell you something about how to learn Chinese well.
     First, you should be brave and confident to speak Chinese when you communicate with others. We Chinese are very friendly, so do not be afraid to make mistakes. Second, speak Chinese slowly and clearly when you talk to others. Only in this way can you make yourself understood easily. Finally, you can use drawings and body languages to communicate with others. As you know, body language of different cultures has a lot in common in the world.
     I hope my suggestions above can help you.
    Best wishes!

Yours,
LiHua.
