Lessons in Chemistry By Bonnie Garmus $29
Elizabeth Zott is a brilliant scientist trying to make it in a man’s world in the 1960s.

Nineteen-year-old Cora Watson of Mississippi was riding in the backseat of her friend’s car at night when they took a wrong turn that nearly cost them their lives. The three teens were following GPS directions, but the device didn’t set their location correctly so they were wound up driving straight into the dark Pascagoula River. In seconds, the car dropped off the boat launch and landed about 25 feet from shore. It immediately sank as the girls struggled to climb out of a passenger window. Cora dialed 911 on her cell phone and tried to keep it above water, but she did not know how to swim, so she began sinking.
Luckily, a 16-year-old high school student Corion Evans and brothers Karon and Caleb Bradley were hanging out nearby. As soon as they saw the car go into the water, Corion pulled off his shoes, shirt, and phone and then jumped into the water to save them, a river he knew alligators (短吻鳄) called home.
When Police Officer Gary Mercer arrived on the scene, he, too, jumped into the water. As he tried to help one of the victims to shore, she began to struggle in his arms. He breathed in water as well and started to go under the surface of the water! Corion swam the officer and two of the girls to shore, leaving only Cora struggling to keep her head above water. Right before Cora’s last dying breath underwater, Corion grabbed her.
Safely back on shore, all of the victims struggled with water inside their lungs. They were all taken to the hospital and made a full recovery.
Corion now says he “wasn’t thinking about” anything other than saving their lives. “I was right there looking at it, so I couldn’t just watch anybody die, even when I saw the police officer,” he told the Post. Now the entire Pascagoula community is praising Corion and his friends as heroes! He was awarded a Certificate of Commendation by Mayor Billy Knight.

Dogs and humans clearly have a special bond. But do dogs, like humans, produce more tears at times when they are flooded with emotion A new study, which may be the first to look at this question, says that, indeed, the eyes of dogs do well up with tears. In fact, it happens regularly when they’re reunited (团聚) with the owners.
“We found that dogs produce tears associated with positive emotions,” says Takefumi Kikusui of Azabu University in Japan. “We also made the discovery of a chemical, oxytocin, as a possible mechanism (机制) behind it.”
Kikusui and his colleagues made the discovery after one of his two dogs had babies 6 years ago. He noticed that, when his dog was nursing the babies, something changed in the dog’s face — there were tears. Those tears don’t fall as they often do in humans but they do get teary eyes. “That gave me the idea that oxytocin is likely to increase tears,” Kikusui says.
They decided to run a reunification experiment and see if oxytocin brought dogs to tears. First, they used a standard test to measure dogs’ tear volume (量) before and after reuniting with their owners. They found that tear volume indeed ascended when they got back together with the familiar human and not with a person they didn’t know. When they added oxytocin to the dogs’ eyes, their tear volume also increased. That finding supports the idea that the release of oxytocin plays a role in tear production when dogs and their owners get back together. They also asked people to rate pictures of dogs’ faces with and without artificial tears in them, and it turned out that people gave more positive responses when they saw dogs with teary eyes. These findings suggest that dogs’ tear production helps to develop stronger connections between people and their dogs.
Kikusui says they had never heard of the discovery that animals produce tears in joyful situations, such as reuniting with their owners, and that they were all excited that this would be a world first!
8. What’s the author’s purpose in raising the question in the first paragraph
A. To compare different ideas.
B. To express his personal doubt.
C. To lead in the topic for discussion.
D. To introduce the rich emotions of dogs.
9. What made Kikusui think oxytocin might increase tears
A. A lesson at university. B. An experience of his own.
C. The interaction with a dog. D. A reminder from his colleagues.
10. The underlined word “ascended” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. remained unchanged B. rose
C. became zero D. decreased
11. In Kikusui’s opinion, the experiment’s findings ________.
A. came as a big surprise B. required further evidence
C. were within their expectation D. were contrary to previous ones
D
It had always been assumed that the rarity of lightning in ocean storms was due to cleaner air over the vast seas, but keen observations have shown that even highly polluted air is associated with reduced lightning at sea when sea spray aerosols (气溶胶) are abundant. In their paper published in the journal Nature Communications, an international team of researchers describes their multi-year study of atmospheric conditions over the oceans bordering Africa and what it showed about salt in sea spray aerosols and its impact on lightning.
The researchers obtained atmospheric data on Africa and the oceans around it for the period 2013 to 2017. The data included numbers of lightning flashes, rainfall, temperatures and cloud representations. They looked for differences in atmospheric conditions in storms that occurred over land versus those that occurred over the sea and found one main difference: the amount of salt in the air.
Lightning is produced when upwardly moving air in clouds forms ice crystals (冰晶)—aerosol particles then begin to bump into one another, creating an electrical charge. Lightning happens when the electrical field in one part of the cloud becomes positively charged (usually at the top of the cloud) and another negatively charged (usually at the bottom of the cloud). And clouds form, of course, when vapor evaporates (蒸发) from the surface of the Earth and the water drops bond with aerosols.
The researchers found that things are slightly different over the ocean. When water evaporates from the sea, it bears a load of salt. When the salt water bonds with aerosols to form water droplets, they tend to be bigger and heavier than those that form over land due to the salt—and that results in more of the water in the clouds falling as rain before it can rise up and form ice crystals. The result is far fewer lightning discharges.
The researchers suggest their findings could be useful in improving the accuracy of both climate models and meteorological reports. It could also possibly lead some to attempt to seed storm clouds with salt to reduce their severity.
12. What is the common belief of lightning over oceans
A. Lightning pollutes the remote sea. B. Polluted air leads to less lightning at sea.
C. Cleaner air results in less lightning at sea. D. Cleaner air contributes to more lightning at sea.
13. How does the author mainly develop paragraph 3
A. By presenting facts. B. By listing similarities.
C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons.
14. How do water droplets on land differ from those at sea
A. They drop much faster. B. They contain more water.
C. They are bigger and heavier. D. They are smaller and lighter.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Salt in Sea Spray Worsens Storms over the Sea
B. Salt in Sea Spray Keeps Lightning Strikes Away
C. Lightning Strikes Are More Common over Oceans
D. Sea Spray Is Found Evaporating Faster over Oceans

Nineteen-year-old Cora Watson of Mississippi was riding in the backseat of her friend’s car at night when they took a wrong turn that nearly cost them their lives. The three teens were following GPS directions, but the device didn’t set their location correctly so they were wound up driving straight into the dark Pascagoula River. In seconds, the car dropped off the boat launch and landed about 25 feet from shore. It immediately sank as the girls struggled to climb out of a passenger window. Cora dialed 911 on her cell phone and tried to keep it above water, but she did not know how to swim, so she began sinking.
Luckily, a 16-year-old high school student Corion Evans and brothers Karon and Caleb Bradley were hanging out nearby. As soon as they saw the car go into the water, Corion pulled off his shoes, shirt, and phone and then jumped into the water to save them, a river he knew alligators (短吻鳄) called home.
When Police Officer Gary Mercer arrived on the scene, he, too, jumped into the water. As he tried to help one of the victims to shore, she began to struggle in his arms. He breathed in water as well and started to go under the surface of the water! Corion swam the officer and two of the girls to shore, leaving only Cora struggling to keep her head above water. Right before Cora’s last dying breath underwater, Corion grabbed her.
Safely back on shore, all of the victims struggled with water inside their lungs. They were all taken to the hospital and made a full recovery.
Corion now says he “wasn’t thinking about” anything other than saving their lives. “I was right there looking at it, so I couldn’t just watch anybody die, even when I saw the police officer,” he told the Post. Now the entire Pascagoula community is praising Corion and his friends as heroes! He was awarded a Certificate of Commendation by Mayor Billy Knight.

Dogs and humans clearly have a special bond. But do dogs, like humans, produce more tears at times when they are flooded with emotion A new study, which may be the first to look at this question, says that, indeed, the eyes of dogs do well up with tears. In fact, it happens regularly when they’re reunited (团聚) with the owners.
“We found that dogs produce tears associated with positive emotions,” says Takefumi Kikusui of Azabu University in Japan. “We also made the discovery of a chemical, oxytocin, as a possible mechanism (机制) behind it.”
Kikusui and his colleagues made the discovery after one of his two dogs had babies 6 years ago. He noticed that, when his dog was nursing the babies, something changed in the dog’s face — there were tears. Those tears don’t fall as they often do in humans but they do get teary eyes. “That gave me the idea that oxytocin is likely to increase tears,” Kikusui says.
They decided to run a reunification experiment and see if oxytocin brought dogs to tears. First, they used a standard test to measure dogs’ tear volume (量) before and after reuniting with their owners. They found that tear volume indeed ascended when they got back together with the familiar human and not with a person they didn’t know. When they added oxytocin to the dogs’ eyes, their tear volume also increased. That finding supports the idea that the release of oxytocin plays a role in tear production when dogs and their owners get back together. They also asked people to rate pictures of dogs’ faces with and without artificial tears in them, and it turned out that people gave more positive responses when they saw dogs with teary eyes. These findings suggest that dogs’ tear production helps to develop stronger connections between people and their dogs.
Kikusui says they had never heard of the discovery that animals produce tears in joyful situations, such as reuniting with their owners, and that they were all excited that this would be a world first!
8. What’s the author’s purpose in raising the question in the first paragraph
A. To compare different ideas.
B. To express his personal doubt.
C. To lead in the topic for discussion.
D. To introduce the rich emotions of dogs.
9. What made Kikusui think oxytocin might increase tears
A. A lesson at university. B. An experience of his own.
C. The interaction with a dog. D. A reminder from his colleagues.
10. The underlined word “ascended” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. remained unchanged B. rose
C. became zero D. decreased
11. In Kikusui’s opinion, the experiment’s findings ________.
A. came as a big surprise B. required further evidence
C. were within their expectation D. were contrary to previous ones
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家发现狗会像人类一样在情感激动时流泪并且狗的眼泪分泌有助于在人和狗之间建立更牢固的联系。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A new study, which may be the first to look at this question, says that, indeed, the eyes of dogs do well up with tears. In fact, it happens regularly when they’re reunited (团聚) with the owners.”（一项可能是第一次研究这个问题的新研究表明，事实上，狗的眼睛会流泪。事实上，当它们与主人团聚时，这种情况经常发生。）可知，作者在第一段提出问题的目的是为了引出谈论的话题——狗会像人类一样在情感激动时流眼泪。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“He noticed that, when his dog was nursing the babies, something changed in the dog’s face — there were tears.”（他注意到，当他的狗在哺乳婴儿时，狗的脸上发生了一些变化——有泪水。）及““That gave me the idea that oxytocin is likely to increase tears,” Kikusui says.”（Kikusui说：“这让我想到催产素可能会增加眼泪。”。）可知，Kikusui根据自己的一次经历，让他认为催产素会增加眼泪。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段划线词语后“When they added oxytocin to the dogs’ eyes, their tear volume also increased.”（他们发现，当他们给狗的眼睛添加催产素时，它们的眼泪量也增加了。）可知，前后句为排比句，根据also可知，前后句所发生的情况一致，既当狗狗与熟悉的人而不是不认识的人在一起时，眼泪的量确实也在上升，推断出ascended意为“上升，增加”和B项“上升”意思相近。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Kikusui says they had never heard of the discovery that animals produce tears in joyful situations, such as reuniting with their owners, and that they were all excited that this would be a world first!”（Kikusui说，他们从未听说过动物在快乐的情况下会流泪，比如与主人团聚，他们都很兴奋这将是世界上第一次！）可知，Kikusui认为，实验的发现是人们从未听说过的，说明这个结果会让人大吃一惊。故选A项。
D
It had always been assumed that the rarity of lightning in ocean storms was due to cleaner air over the vast seas, but keen observations have shown that even highly polluted air is associated with reduced lightning at sea when sea spray aerosols (气溶胶) are abundant. In their paper published in the journal Nature Communications, an international team of researchers describes their multi-year study of atmospheric conditions over the oceans bordering Africa and what it showed about salt in sea spray aerosols and its impact on lightning.
The researchers obtained atmospheric data on Africa and the oceans around it for the period 2013 to 2017. The data included numbers of lightning flashes, rainfall, temperatures and cloud representations. They looked for differences in atmospheric conditions in storms that occurred over land versus those that occurred over the sea and found one main difference: the amount of salt in the air.
Lightning is produced when upwardly moving air in clouds forms ice crystals (冰晶)—aerosol particles then begin to bump into one another, creating an electrical charge. Lightning happens when the electrical field in one part of the cloud becomes positively charged (usually at the top of the cloud) and another negatively charged (usually at the bottom of the cloud). And clouds form, of course, when vapor evaporates (蒸发) from the surface of the Earth and the water drops bond with aerosols.
The researchers found that things are slightly different over the ocean. When water evaporates from the sea, it bears a load of salt. When the salt water bonds with aerosols to form water droplets, they tend to be bigger and heavier than those that form over land due to the salt—and that results in more of the water in the clouds falling as rain before it can rise up and form ice crystals. The result is far fewer lightning discharges.
The researchers suggest their findings could be useful in improving the accuracy of both climate models and meteorological reports. It could also possibly lead some to attempt to seed storm clouds with salt to reduce their severity.
12. What is the common belief of lightning over oceans
A. Lightning pollutes the remote sea. B. Polluted air leads to less lightning at sea.
C. Cleaner air results in less lightning at sea. D. Cleaner air contributes to more lightning at sea.
13. How does the author mainly develop paragraph 3
A. By presenting facts. B. By listing similarities.
C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons.
14. How do water droplets on land differ from those at sea
A. They drop much faster. B. They contain more water.
C. They are bigger and heavier. D. They are smaller and lighter.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Salt in Sea Spray Worsens Storms over the Sea
B. Salt in Sea Spray Keeps Lightning Strikes Away
C. Lightning Strikes Are More Common over Oceans
D. Sea Spray Is Found Evaporating Faster over Oceans
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现海雾中的盐可以防止雷击，解释了研究开展的经过以及研究的意义。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It had always been assumed that the rarity of lightning in ocean storms was due to cleaner air over the vast seas, but keen observations have shown that even highly polluted air is associated with reduced lightning at sea when sea spray aerosols (气溶胶) are abundant.(人们一直认为，海洋风暴中闪电的罕见是由于广阔的海洋上的空气更清洁，但敏锐的观察表明，即使是高度污染的空气，当海洋喷雾气溶胶丰富时，海上闪电也会减少)”可知，人们普遍认为清洁的空气减少了海上的闪电。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Lightning is produced when upwardly moving air in clouds forms ice crystals (冰晶)—aerosol particles then begin to bump into one another, creating an electrical charge. Lightning happens when the electrical field in one part of the cloud becomes positively charged (usually at the top of the cloud) and another negatively charged (usually at the bottom of the cloud). And clouds form, of course, when vapor evaporates (蒸发) from the surface of the Earth and the water drops bond with aerosols.(当云层中向上移动的空气形成冰晶时，闪电就产生了——气溶胶颗粒开始相互碰撞，产生电荷。当云的一部分电场带正电（通常在云的顶部）而另一部分电场带负电（通常在云的底部）时，闪电就会发生。当然，当水蒸气从地球表面蒸发，水滴与气溶胶结合时，云就形成了)”可推知，作者主要是通过陈述事实展开第三段。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“When the salt water bonds with aerosols to form water droplets, they tend to be bigger and heavier than those that form over land due to the salt—and that results in more of the water in the clouds falling as rain before it can rise up and form ice crystals.(当盐水与气溶胶结合形成水滴时，它们往往比陆地上因盐而形成的水滴更大、更重——这导致云层中更多的水在上升形成冰晶之前就以雨的形式落下)”可知，陆地上的水滴和海上的不同在于它们更小更轻。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“It had always been assumed that the rarity of lightning in ocean storms was due to cleaner air over the vast seas, but keen observations have shown that even highly polluted air is associated with reduced lightning at sea when sea spray aerosols (气溶胶) are abundant. In their paper published in the journal Nature Communications, an international team of researchers describes their multi-year study of atmospheric conditions over the oceans bordering Africa and what it showed about salt in sea spray aerosols and its impact on lightning.(人们一直认为，海洋风暴中闪电的罕见是由于广阔的海洋上的空气更清洁，但是敏锐的观察表明，当海洋雾气溶胶丰富时，即使是高度污染的空气也与海上闪电的减少有关。在《自然通讯》杂志上发表的一篇论文中，一个国际研究小组描述了他们对与非洲接壤的海洋大气状况的多年研究，以及该研究显示的海洋雾气溶胶中的盐及其对闪电的影响)”结合文章主要说明了研究发现海雾中的盐可以防止雷击，解释了研究开展的经过以及研究的意义。可知，B选项“海雾中的盐可以防止雷击”最符合文章标题。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己在九寨沟的一次旅游经历。
【详解】1. 考查非谓语。句意：说到旅行，我不禁想起2017年在四川九寨沟的一次难忘之旅。固定句型：when it comes to doing sth.“当提及……”，to为介词，其后跟动名词，故go改为going。
2. 考查定语从句。句意：我和父母一起去的，他们强烈推荐我和他们一起去。分析句子可知，本句为含有非限制性定语从句的复合句。先行词为my parents，在从句中作主语，所以关系代词用who，不用that，因为that不能引导非限定性定语从句，故that改为who。
3. 考查代词。句意同上。结合前文内容“I went there with my parents”可知，我随父母一起去，所以此处指父母让我和他们去，因此这里使用代词them，故him改为them。
4. 考查名词。句意：从我家到九寨沟有很长的距离。形容词修饰名词，结合句中“long”可知，其后应用名词，a long distance很长一段距离，故distant改为distance。
5. 考查名词的数。句意：然而，当我们到达目的地时，我震惊地看到眼前的美景。结合前文“Jiuzhaigou”可知，我们的目的是九寨沟，为单数含义。所以destinations改为destination。故destinations改为destination。
6. 考查冠词。句意：然而，当我们到达目的地时，我震惊地看到眼前的美景。短语：in front of“在……的前面”，没有空间限制，而in the front of“在……的前部”则有空间限制，通常指室内的地方，这里为户外，所以删除the，故删除the。
7. 考查so与such的区别。句意：在我去那里旅行之前，我从未见过如此美丽清澈的水。so修饰名词时，其结构为：so + adj.+ a(n) + 可数名词单数或者so + adj.+ 可数名词复数；such修饰名词时，结构为：such a (n) +adj.+可数名词单数，或者 such + adj. + 不可数名词，这里water为不可数名词，所以应用such修饰，故so改为such。
8. 考查时态。句意：那里的环境如此吸引我们，以至于我和我的父母都不想回家。结合前文“in 2017”及句中“that I as well my parents didn’t want to return home”可知，句子所述的动作为过去时，所以时态用一般过去时。故attract改为attracted。
9. 考查短语。句意同上。短语：as well“也”，为副词；as well as“和”为并列连词，这里表示“我和我的父母”，所以用as well as，故在well后加as。
10. 考查副词。句意：未来，我可能会再去那里度假。修饰动词用副词，所以此处用possibly，修饰动词go，故possible改为possibly。
