If Dhruv Rebba, an Indian American, had to live on an isolated island, he would bring a ham radio kit along. “The island wouldn’t have cellular connectivity (蜂窝网络连接), of course. Ham radio would be the best option to contact someone as it uses the ionosphere (电离层) to communicate, instead of cellular towers. That’s why we use it when mobile phone networks are destroyed during natural disasters,” he said in an interview.
When Rebba was nine, he received his ham radio technician license—becoming the youngest person of Indian origin then to receive it. “My dad has been a ham radio operator for the past 25years. When I was in the third grade, I convinced him to take me along to the Dayton Hamvention, where I was totally overwhelmed by some cool stuff including Morse code keyers. From then on, I decided to go further in this field,” Rebba said.
In 2017, Rebba was part of the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) project. It involves amateur radio operators across the world speaking directly to astronauts through their radio stations. “After three tries, I received the approval. As I have an amateur radio license! was able to make my initial contact. Some 16 students across America were given the chance to ask Joseph M. Acaba who was then on the International Space Station (ISS) 23questions,” Rebba explained.
Besides being a ham radio operator, Rebba is also the CEO of Universal Help Foundation. “I once visited my dad’s village in India where I noticed the gap in the standard of living. That’s what made me start Universal Help Foundation—to create an impact.” said Rebba. He named the foundation Universal Help-Foundation rather than an limiting it to environmental sustainability (可持续发展) or disaster relief. Instead, he wanted to bridge the gap.
Meanwhile, Rebba hopes to get further high up in space. However, the overall picture of the ham radio field is unpleasant. “The ham population is aging and fewer youngsters are drawn to it. Now we all have cell phones and the younger crowd doesn’t see the everyday use of ha m radio as important,” Rebba added.
41. What characterizes ham radio
A. Being convenient and safe to take along.
B. Being a reliable means of communication.
C. Being effective in evaluating natural disasters.
D. Being quick to repair a broken mobile network.
42. How would Rebba describe the Dayton Hamvention
A. Dull. B. Fair. C. Demanding. D. Inspiring.
43. What did ARISS allow Rebba to do
A. Obtain his amateur radio license.
B. Apply for membership of ARISS.
C. Contact an astronaut in space via radio.
D. Use his self-made radio station on the ISS.
44. What’s Universal Help Foundation mainly committed to
A. Improving the poor’s quality of life.
B. Raising people’s environmental awareness.
C. Providing disaster relief for remote villages.
D. Strengthening the connections among villagers.
45. What’s Rebba concerned about
A. Ham radio is a dying hobby.
B. Young people are addicted to cell phones.
C. Ham radio is useless in some circumstances.
D. Young people attach little importance to technology.
C
Three-dimensional printers are fast becoming everyday devices in the United States. Three-D printers are used to make everything from automobile parts to bone replacements for human patients.
American research scientists are now working on creating replacements for living tissue(生物学上的组织). Researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina have been working on creating and manufacturing living tissue since 2003. This process is called biofabrication (生物制造). It requires special printing equipment and a special kind of ink.
Traditional printers require ink to produce an image or design on a piece of paper. For their three-D printer, the South Carolina researchers prepare complex nutritious solutions they call bio-inks. Bio-inks are made of proteins and glucose(葡萄糖), which normally provides energy for most cells of the body. The researchers also add living cells taken from the animal that will receive the new, printed tissue. The bio-inks are then added to a device that researchers call the Palmetto bio-printer.
Sarah Grace Dennis is one of the researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina. She says new technology, like the Palmetto bio-printer, is a great help to the biofabrication process. “When I got here a year ago, we were printing acellular(非细胞的) bio-inks to see if patterns could be printed. And now we are printing skeletal muscle replica implants(骨骼肌肉复制品移植物) that we have been implanting into rats.”
The bio-inks are placed in three dispensers(分配器), containers, inside the printer. Lasers control both the position of the printing surface and the places where the bio-ink is released. Michael Yost is a leader of the research team. He says the printing process is fully automated-machine-operated. He says that the Palmetto bio-printer makes it possible to create complex tissue types.
The researchers say bio-printing is still experimental. But they hope in a few years they may be able to print tissue to replace damaged human organs(器官). However, there are still some concerns with biofabrication. Some scientists worry about how to get blood to the replacement tissue. The flow of blood is important to keep the printed tissue alive.
Michael Yost hopes that more people will believe in the benefits of biofabification.“Tissue biofabrication is a reality, and it is a reality now, and if you come here and you get to see it. You can’t touch it, but you will see it and think this is real. And this is really human.”
46. What can we learn about 3-D printers from paragraph 1
A. They are playing a bugger role around the world.
B. They are gaining popularity quickly in the States.
C. They are bringing severe challenges to patients.
D. They are. mainly used to make simple things now.
47. According to Sarah Grace Dennis, ________.
A. new technology has made the biofabrication process possible
B. the biofabrication process has become perfect now
C. acellular bio-inks have been widely used in the US.
D. printing skeletal muscle replica implants is impossible at present
48. According to Michael Yost, we can infer that the Palmetto bio-printer ________.
A. can work perfectly without power
B. can only be found in the United States
C. has already been used to treat the patients
D. has a bright future in medical application
49. Which of the following is one of the problems with biofabrication according to the passage
A. People are worried about the safety of the biofabrication process.
B. The price of the bio-printer is too high and most people can’t afford it.
C. Scientists have difficulty in getting blood to the replacement tissue.
D. Researchers can’t find enough living cells of animals to make the bio-inks.
50. We can know from the passage that ________.
A. the fast growing demand for biofabrication worries people
B. special bio-inks are developed and bio-printing is being experimented
C. the use of the bio-printer is spreading widely around the world
D. the 3-D printer. has already been applied widely in treating patients
D
Female role models are having a moment. In the United States, there is a female vice president. The women’s soccer team is fighting a public, uphill battle for equal pay. Women are even making their way into what had seemed a permanent men’s club: the senior operation ranks of the armed forces.
Role models inspire people by showing what is actually possible. Research supports that it works: these pioneers not only help us imagine where we might go but also map out the path there. Role models have also been shown to have a bigger impact on women and underrepresented communities—those who have not easily achieved their goals. Seeing more women in the world of science, girls of today are more likely, when asked to draw a scientist, to draw a woman than those in past decades. Even one role model can benefit a child, helping them perform better in school and maintain a positive attitude.
However, the idea of “good role models” needs an update, especially when it comes to girls; otherwise the endless stream of shining snapshots of achievement they see can actually lead to self-doubt. In addition to role models, our work on girls and the process of building confidence has found that what girls really need are “work in progress” models. Girls tend to judge themselves harshly and suffer from perfectionism. They need to see the struggles and failures in their role models, as well as great perseverance. Anything that suggests success effortlessly achieved can be discouraged rather than inspired, playing into girls’ worst self-doubt thinking patterns.
Helping girls see the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary is a good solution to unrealistic expectations. “Everyday heroes have a special impact,” said the child psychologist Bonnie Zucker. “Take a young girl who has to shoulder-the-responsibility for raising her brothers or sisters for some reason. She might not have attractive social media presence, but her bravery, devotion, and emotional labor are, in fact, heroic.”
51. What is Paragraph 1 mainly talking about
A. Some jobs suitable for females.
B. Some influences of female role models.
C. Females’ challenges at the workplace.
D. Females’ achievements in different fields.
52. What can we infer about role models from Paragraph 2
A. They give us realistic guides to success.
B. They help us know more outstanding people.
C. They are preferred by female groups.
D. They show us the value of keeping learning.
53. What influence can the snapshots of achievement have on girls
A. Broadening their minds.
B. Inspiring them to dream big.
C. Driving them to work harder.
D. Making them doubt themselves.
54. Why do girls need “work in progress” models
A. They make them achieve success quickly.
B. They help them accept their imperfect selves.
C. They teach them to be strict with themselves.
D. They encourage them to follow their dreams.
55. What does the author imply by mentioning Bonnie Zucher’s words
A. Many girls’ expectations are unrealistic.
B. Girls have a strong sense of responsibility.
C. Girls can follow heroic examples in daily life.
D. Social activities are of great importance to girls.

If Dhruv Rebba, an Indian American, had to live on an isolated island, he would bring a ham radio kit along. “The island wouldn’t have cellular connectivity (蜂窝网络连接), of course. Ham radio would be the best option to contact someone as it uses the ionosphere (电离层) to communicate, instead of cellular towers. That’s why we use it when mobile phone networks are destroyed during natural disasters,” he said in an interview.
When Rebba was nine, he received his ham radio technician license—becoming the youngest person of Indian origin then to receive it. “My dad has been a ham radio operator for the past 25years. When I was in the third grade, I convinced him to take me along to the Dayton Hamvention, where I was totally overwhelmed by some cool stuff including Morse code keyers. From then on, I decided to go further in this field,” Rebba said.
In 2017, Rebba was part of the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) project. It involves amateur radio operators across the world speaking directly to astronauts through their radio stations. “After three tries, I received the approval. As I have an amateur radio license! was able to make my initial contact. Some 16 students across America were given the chance to ask Joseph M. Acaba who was then on the International Space Station (ISS) 23questions,” Rebba explained.
Besides being a ham radio operator, Rebba is also the CEO of Universal Help Foundation. “I once visited my dad’s village in India where I noticed the gap in the standard of living. That’s what made me start Universal Help Foundation—to create an impact.” said Rebba. He named the foundation Universal Help-Foundation rather than an limiting it to environmental sustainability (可持续发展) or disaster relief. Instead, he wanted to bridge the gap.
Meanwhile, Rebba hopes to get further high up in space. However, the overall picture of the ham radio field is unpleasant. “The ham population is aging and fewer youngsters are drawn to it. Now we all have cell phones and the younger crowd doesn’t see the everyday use of ha m radio as important,” Rebba added.
41. What characterizes ham radio
A. Being convenient and safe to take along.
B. Being a reliable means of communication.
C. Being effective in evaluating natural disasters.
D. Being quick to repair a broken mobile network.
42. How would Rebba describe the Dayton Hamvention
A. Dull. B. Fair. C. Demanding. D. Inspiring.
43. What did ARISS allow Rebba to do
A. Obtain his amateur radio license.
B. Apply for membership of ARISS.
C. Contact an astronaut in space via radio.
D. Use his self-made radio station on the ISS.
44. What’s Universal Help Foundation mainly committed to
A. Improving the poor’s quality of life.
B. Raising people’s environmental awareness.
C. Providing disaster relief for remote villages.
D. Strengthening the connections among villagers.
45. What’s Rebba concerned about
A. Ham radio is a dying hobby.
B. Young people are addicted to cell phones.
C. Ham radio is useless in some circumstances.
D. Young people attach little importance to technology.
【答案】41. B 42. D 43. C 44. A 45. A
【解析】

【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Ham radio would be the best option to contact someone as it uses the ionosphere (电离层) to communicate, instead of cellular towers. That’s why we use it when mobile phone networks are destroyed during natural disasters(业余无线电将是联系某人的最佳选择，因为它使用电离层进行通信，而不是手机信号塔。这就是为什么我们在自然灾害期间手机网络被破坏时使用它)”可知，业余无线电是为一种可靠的交流方式。故选B。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“When I was in the third grade, I convinced him to take me along to the Dayton Hamvention, where I was totally overwhelmed by some cool stuff including Morse code keyers. From then, on, I decided to go further in this field,” Rebba said.(Rebba说“当我三年级的时候，我说服他带我去Dayton Hamvention，在那里我完全被包括摩尔斯电码键盘等一些很酷的东西所淹没。从那时起，我决定在这个领域走得更远。”)”可知，Dayton Hamvention启发了Rebba在无线电这个领域继续前行，由此可推知，Rebba会用“鼓舞人心”这个词来描绘Dayton Hamvention，故选D。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“In 2017, Rebba was part of the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) project. It involves amateur radio operators across the world speaking directly to astronauts through their radio stations. “After three tries, I received the approval. As I have an amateur radio license! was able to make my initial contact. (2017年，Rebba是国际空间站(ARISS)项目业余无线电的一部分。它包括世界各地的业余无线电操作员通过他们的无线电台与宇航员直接对话。“经过三次尝试，我得到了批准。因为我有业余无线电执照这能够使我和他们初次联系。”)”可知，ARISS使Rebba通过无线电与太空中的宇航员联系。故选C。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中““I once visited my dad’s village in India where I noticed the gap in the standard of living. That’s what made me start Universal Help Foundation—to create an impact.” said Rebba. (“我曾经去过我父亲在印度的村庄，在那里我注意到了生活水平的差距。正是这一点促使我创立了环球帮助基金会(Universal Help Foundation) ，来产生影响。”瑞巴说。)”可知，Universal Help Foundation主要致力于改善穷人的生活水平，故选A。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““The ham population is aging and fewer youngsters are drawn to it. Now we all have cell phones and the younger crowd doesn’t see the everyday use of ha m radio as important,” Rebba added.(Rebba接着说“业余无线的数量正在老龄化，越来越少的年轻人被它吸引。现在我们都有了手机，年轻人不再认为每天使用业余无线电是重要的。”)”可知，喜欢业余无线电的人都是老年人，喜欢它的年轻人很少，由此可推知，Rebba担心这一爱好将慢慢消失，故选A。
C
Three-dimensional printers are fast becoming everyday devices in the United States. Three-D printers are used to make everything from automobile parts to bone replacements for human patients.
American research scientists are now working on creating replacements for living tissue(生物学上的组织). Researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina have been working on creating and manufacturing living tissue since 2003. This process is called biofabrication (生物制造). It requires special printing equipment and a special kind of ink.
Traditional printers require ink to produce an image or design on a piece of paper. For their three-D printer, the South Carolina researchers prepare complex nutritious solutions they call bio-inks. Bio-inks are made of proteins and glucose(葡萄糖), which normally provides energy for most cells of the body. The researchers also add living cells taken from the animal that will receive the new, printed tissue. The bio-inks are then added to a device that researchers call the Palmetto bio-printer.
Sarah Grace Dennis is one of the researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina. She says new technology, like the Palmetto bio-printer, is a great help to the biofabrication process. “When I got here a year ago, we were printing acellular(非细胞的) bio-inks to see if patterns could be printed. And now we are printing skeletal muscle replica implants(骨骼肌肉复制品移植物) that we have been implanting into rats.”
The bio-inks are placed in three dispensers(分配器), containers, inside the printer. Lasers control both the position of the printing surface and the places where the bio-ink is released. Michael Yost is a leader of the research team. He says the printing process is fully automated-machine-operated. He says that the Palmetto bio-printer makes it possible to create complex tissue types.
The researchers say bio-printing is still experimental. But they hope in a few years they may be able to print tissue to replace damaged human organs(器官). However, there are still some concerns with biofabrication. Some scientists worry about how to get blood to the replacement tissue. The flow of blood is important to keep the printed tissue alive.
Michael Yost hopes that more people will believe in the benefits of biofabification.“Tissue biofabrication is a reality, and it is a reality now, and if you come here and you get to see it. You can’t touch it, but you will see it and think this is real. And this is really human.”

Female role models are having a moment. In the United States, there is a female vice president. The women’s soccer team is fighting a public, uphill battle for equal pay. Women are even making their way into what had seemed a permanent men’s club: the senior operation ranks of the armed forces.
Role models inspire people by showing what is actually possible. Research supports that it works: these pioneers not only help us imagine where we might go but also map out the path there. Role models have also been shown to have a bigger impact on women and underrepresented communities—those who have not easily achieved their goals. Seeing more women in the world of science, girls of today are more likely, when asked to draw a scientist, to draw a woman than those in past decades. Even one role model can benefit a child, helping them perform better in school and maintain a positive attitude.
However, the idea of “good role models” needs an update, especially when it comes to girls; otherwise the endless stream of shining snapshots of achievement they see can actually lead to self-doubt. In addition to role models, our work on girls and the process of building confidence has found that what girls really need are “work in progress” models. Girls tend to judge themselves harshly and suffer from perfectionism. They need to see the struggles and failures in their role models, as well as great perseverance. Anything that suggests success effortlessly achieved can be discouraged rather than inspired, playing into girls’ worst self-doubt thinking patterns.
Helping girls see the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary is a good solution to unrealistic expectations. “Everyday heroes have a special impact,” said the child psychologist Bonnie Zucker. “Take a young girl who has to shoulder-the-responsibility for raising her brothers or sisters for some reason. She might not have attractive social media presence, but her bravery, devotion, and emotional labor are, in fact, heroic.”
51. What is Paragraph 1 mainly talking about

B. Some influences of female role models.
C. Females’ challenges at the workplace.
D. Females’ achievements in different fields.
52. What can we infer about role models from Paragraph 2
A. They give us realistic guides to success.
B. They help us know more outstanding people.
C. They are preferred by female groups.
D. They show us the value of keeping learning.
53. What influence can the snapshots of achievement have on girls
A. Broadening their minds.
B. Inspiring them to dream big.
C. Driving them to work harder.
D. Making them doubt themselves.
54. Why do girls need “work in progress” models
A. They make them achieve success quickly.
B. They help them accept their imperfect selves.
C. They teach them to be strict with themselves.
D. They encourage them to follow their dreams.
55. What does the author imply by mentioning Bonnie Zucher’s words
A. Many girls’ expectations are unrealistic.
B. Girls have a strong sense of responsibility.
C. Girls can follow heroic examples in daily life.
D. Social activities are of great importance to girls.

Anything that suggests success effortlessly achieved can be discouraged rather than inspired, playing into girls’ worst self-doubt thinking patterns.”（女孩往往会严厉地评判自己，并遭受完美主义的折磨。她们需要看到自己的榜样身上的挣扎和失败，以及巨大的毅力。任何暗示毫不费力就能取得成功的东西都可能受到阻碍，而不是受到鼓舞，这正好迎合了女孩们最糟糕的自我怀疑思维模式。）可知，女孩需要“进行中的工作”模式通过看到榜样的挣扎和失败，从而帮助她们接受不完美的自己。故选B项。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Take a young girl who has to shoulder-the-responsibility for raising her brothers or sisters for some reason.
