Four Places Named After Scientists in Antarctica
There are many scientific breakthroughs made by women in Antarctic. Here are four landmarks in Antarctica and the female pioneers they’re named for.
Jones Terrace (梯田)
The ice-free terrace in eastern Antarctica’s Victoria Land bears Jones’ name. In 1969, geochemist Lois M. Jones led the first all-female research team from the U.S. to work in Antarctica. Jones and her team studied chemical weathering in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, an ice-free area of Antarctica. Through chemical analyses of rocks they had collected, Jones and her team discovered many geochemical characteristics of the valley’s ice-covered lakes.
Mount Fiennes
8,202-foot-high Mount Fiennes, located on Antarctica’s largest island — Alexander Island — is named for Ginny Fiennes. She established and maintained 80-foot-tall radio towers in the Antarctic. In 1985, Fiennes became the first female who was invited to join the Antarctic Club, a British supper club open to individuals who have spent extended time in the Antarctic region.
Francis Peak
The 3,727-foot-tall peak on Antarctica’s Adelaide Island is named after Dame Jane Francis, who is the first female director of the British Antarctic Survey, the national polar research institute of the UK. Her collection of fossils on Seymour Island helped conclude in a 2021 paper that Antarctica’s abundant plant fossils indicate the continent once had a much warmer climate than it currently does.
Peden Cliffs
Peden Cliffs near Antarctica’s Marie Byrd Land are proof of the labor of Irene Peden. She was the first American female scientist to both live and work in the Antarctic, where she used radio waves to study ice sheets. Peden and her team determined how very low frequency radio waves spread over long polar distances by measuring pathways in the ice. They also used varying radio wave frequencies to measure the thickness of Antarctica’s ice sheets.
21. Which place is named after a builder of radio towers in the Antarctic
A. Jones Terrace. B. Mount Fiennes.
C. Francis Peak. D. Peden Cliffs.
22. Who proved the previous higher temperatures of the Antarctic
A. Lois M. Jones. B. Ginny Fiennes.
C. Dame Jane Francis. D. Irene Peden.
23. What is special about Irene Peden
A. She could judge the thickness of Antarctica’s ice sheets.
B. She discovered a lot of ice-covered lakes in the Antarctic.
C. She was the first female American to explore the Antarctic.
D. She correctly measured the spreading speed of radio waves.
B
What will man be like in the future — in 5,000 or even 50000 years from now We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular, the forehead will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in use constantly. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair This will probably disappear from the body altogether in the course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.
Perhaps all these give the impression that in the future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
24. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Man’s life will be different in the future. B. Future man will look quite different from us.
C. Man is growing taller and uglier as time passes. D. Man’s organs, functions will be useless in the future.
25. What serves as the evidence that man is changing
A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.
B. Man’s hair is getting thinner and thinner.
C. Man’s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.
D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.
26. Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future
A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.
B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.
C. He thinks and feels in quite different ways from us.
D. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn’t have to use them.
27. What can we infer from the passage
A. Human beings will become less attractive in the future.
B. Less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration (退化).
C. Human beings all hope for a change in the future life.
D. We are certain about our future life and appearance.
C
Many people think of travel as an experience. Sometimes, however, you cannot choose the places you travel to. This happened to me.
My husband found himself posted in Brunei for work. Three months pregnant meant that I had a choice: Either stay with him in Brunei for three months before returning to India or remain in India, alone. I chose the former. Not because of my love for the country but because I wanted to be close to him.
Brunei had never held any appeal to me. Whatever research that I pulled off the Internet showed me nothing other than one beautiful mosque (清真寺). The flights in and out of the country were expensive so traveling frequently out was not an option either. I was drowned by a sense of being trapped in a remote place. I think one of the things that struck me most was the large range of greenery that surrounded us. We were not staying in the big city but as far away on the outskirts as you could imagine.
It took a week, but I soon found myself interacting with people around me. Foreign residents and locals all went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. The more comfortable I felt, the more we explored. We went hiking, we joined the board game community, and we enjoyed the local cuisine.
Three months later when it was time to leave, I found myself reluctant to say goodbye to the warmth of the country I had called home for a short while. I think that my time in Brunei taught me a valuable lesson: Don’t judge a place by what others say or a lack of information. Sure, you may not always like what you see, but there will always be something that you will like. You just need to look hard enough to find it!
28. Why did the author go to Brunei
A. To give birth to a baby. B. To escape the busy life in India.
C. To keep her husband company. D. To prove she loved the country.
29. What can we infer from Paragraph 3
A. Brunei is a beautiful country. B. Attractions in Brunei were appealing.
C. The author’s husband loved traveling. D. The author showed little interest in Brunei.
30. What does the underlined word “reluctant” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Pleased. B. Unwilling. C. Impatient. D. Courageous.
31. What does the author intend to convey in the text
A. Travel with an open mind. B. Do love our own country.
C. Experience what is impossible. D. Choose the right place to travel to.
D
Nearly 200 years after Ludwig van Beethoven’s death, researchers have pulled DNA from his hair, searching for clues about his health problems and hearing loss.
They weren’t able to solve the mystery of the German composer’s deafness or stomach problems. But they did find a genetic risk for liver disease, plus a liver-damaging hepatitis B(乙型肝炎 ) infection in the last months of his life. These factors, together with his frequent drinking, were probably enough to cause the liver failure that is widely believed to have killed him, according to a study published in the journal Current Biology.
March 26 marked the 196th anniversary of Beethoven’s death in Vienna in 1827, at the age of 56. The composer himself wrote that he wanted doctors to study his health problems after he died. Since his death, scientists have long tried to put together Beethoven’s medical history and have suggested various possible explanations for his many health problems.
Now, with advanced DNA technology, researchers have been able to pull genetic clues from some samples of Beethoven’s hair that were cut off and kept in his memory. Using almost 3 meters of Beethoven’s hair, scientists were able to pull out pieces of DNA and put together a genome that they could study for signs of genetic disease.
The researchers didn’t find any clear signs of what caused Beethoven’s hearing loss or stomach problems. However, they found two things probably weren’t causes: celiac disease(腹泻病)— a health problem caused by eating the gluten protein — and lactose ( 乳 糖 ) intolerance — a health problem caused by the lactose sugar in milk.
The researchers also made a surprising discovery: when they tested DNA from living members of the Beethoven family, scientists found a difference in the Y chromosomes (染色体) that get passed down on the father’s side. The Y chromosomes from five men in Beethoven’s family matched each other — but they didn’t match the composer’s. This suggests that sometime before Beethoven was born, a child in the composer’s family was born from an extramarital relationship.
32. What is the purpose of the research
A. To fulfill Beethoven’s wishes of studying for signs of genetic disease.
B. To introduce the advantages of DNA technology in medical researches.
C. To prove that Beethoven’s hearing loss was not caused by celiac disease.
D. To figure out the reasons for Beethoven’s deafness and health problems.
33. According to paragraph 2, what is generally considered to be the cause of Beethoven’s death
A. A liver-damaging infection and hearing loss.
B. The liver disease and too much drinking.
C. The lung cancer together with alcohol drinking.
D. A genetic risk of liver disease and stomach problems.
34. What can be inferred from the article
A. All the men in Beethoven’s family have the same Y chromosome.
B. Frequent drinking will definitely cause liver failure and even death.
C. Scientists pull out pieces of DNA by using more than 3 meters of Beethoven’s hair.
D. Celiac disease is not the probable cause of Beethoven’s hearing or stomach problems.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Lactose Sugar in Milk Can Cause Celiac Disease.
B. DNA from Hair Offers Clues for Beethoven’s Disease.
C. Advanced DNA Technology Help Make New Discovery.
D. Researchers Have Solved Mystery of Beethoven’s deafness.

67. 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。
When school was over, the day was fading and it started to drizzle (毛毛雨). I stood at the school gate, with a loaded backpack on my shoulders. It was Friday again: a weekend of joy with unlimited sleeping hours and dinner courses specially made to my taste, a weekend at home. I waved goodbye to my friends as they jumped into their fathers' warm and comfortable cars. Curiously, this gave rise to a disturbing feeling in me. It was not exactly what they called jealousy, but something like dismay (沮丧). I knew all I could expect was an old bike Mom would ride along on, with the badly- oiled chain creaking (嘎吱作响) against the wheel to announce her arrival.
Every Friday when Mom came to pick me up for the weekend, it was a moment full of great expectation and great unease. I always felt my face burning as we rode our way in and out of the numerous cars and saw my friends’ faces sticking out of the car windows. It was like stepping into a ballroom with beautifully dressed ladies and finding yourself in a smelly T -shirt.
To tell you the truth, Mom is quite a headache once in a while. She just looks a homely middle-aged housewife. Being a practitioner of DIY, she knits most of my sweaters, chiefly in old styles. Whenever caught by some curious classmates asking what brand my sweaters are, I'd force a smile and reply in a half joking manner: homemade.
I couldn’t remember when I started to find her such an embarrassment. As a little boy I relied on her so much. She had been working at home, cooking in the kitchen, knitting by the lamp or riding across town to buy me a book I badly needed. It had always been much fun riding with mom. But just now there seemed to be something standing between us, something that made her so strange to me and me to her.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Today she showed up in a raincoat.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mom tried to cover me with the back of the raincoat again as a storm set in.
