B Dr. Nancy Roman, born in 1925, who was celebrated as a pioneer for female scientists and had advanced the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope, died on Dec 25, 2018. When Nancy Roman asked for permission to take a second algebra ( 代数) course in high school, a teacher demanded to know “what lady would take mathematics instead of Latin”. In college, a professor admitted that he often tried to prevent women from majoring in physics but Nancy stuck to it. And after receiving Doctor’s degree in astronomy, she found a professional home at NASA (美国宇航局). In 1959, Dr. Roman became the first chief of astronomy at NASA headquarters, a role that made her one of the agency’s first female leaders. Dr. Roman spent much of her career helping develop, fund and promote technology that would help scientists see more clearly beyond Earths atmosphere. But her most well-known work was perhaps leading to design the Hubble Space Telescope the first major telescope to be sent into space for the purpose of gathering photographs and data from the universe. She was, therefore, named as “the mother of Hubble”. “She made it possible to get the early telescope up into space to learn what needed to be learned,” said science historian Bob Zimmerman, and her hard-nosed nature helped get the telescope built. The telescope did not launch until 1990, a little more than a decade after Dr. Roman retired, but when it did, its photographs of the universe thrilled the world. “I am glad,” she once told Science, “I ignored the people who told me that I could not be an astronomer.” 4.What can we conclude from the teacher’s reaction to Nancy Roman’s application for taking a second algebra course? A. The teacher doubted it. B. The teacher didn’t care about it. C. The teacher accepted it at once. D. The teacher was strongly against it. 5.What was the most famous achievement of Nancy Roman’s work? A. She was one of the founders of NASA. B. She proved the black hole really existed. C. She led to design the Hubble Space Telescope. D. She was the first female astronomer in the world. 6.When did Dr. Nancy Roman probably retire? A. In 1969. B. In 1979. C. In 1990. D. In 2000. 7.What can we learn from Dr. Nancy Roman’s words in the last paragraph? A. She was very proud of what she had done for the country. B. She thought highly of the people who hadn’t believed her. C. She had hard-nosed nature and never cared about other people’s opinions. D. She was delighted to be an astronomer despite discrimination against her. C How many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face? Do you have the same facial expressions as the people from different cultures? Read this passage to find out what scientists have just discovered about this topic. New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion. However, how these expressions are interpreted(解释) might depend on where you are from. Research by scientists from the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. It was widely believed that six basic emotions (happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust) were expressed and recognized across different cultures. However, the University of Glasgow's work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish(辨别). Fear and surprise, for example, both share wide open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same. So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate a much more complex(复杂的) kind of feeling? The study found that the way expressions are interpreted is different in different cultures. However, while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, scientists found that although there are some common features across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized universally. What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research? This work leads to understanding which emotions we share and appreciating our differences. 8.What did the University of Glasgow find? A.Six basic emotions greatly influence our character. B.Six basic emotions can be recognized. C.It is easy to tell from the basic facial expressions. D.Some of the six facial expressions are similar. 9.Which group may be the four basic facial expressions of emotion? A.Sadness, fear, anger and surprise. B.Anger, sadness, fear and happiness. C.Happiness, surprise, sadness and fear. D.Disgust, happiness, anger and sadness. 10.What can we learn according to Paragraph 3? A.Basic facial expressions are not universal. B.Facial expressions can't show complex feelings. C.Western people have more kinds of facial expressions. D.The way to express emotions changes with time. 11.Which is the proper title for the passage? A.What Does Your Face Say? B.How Do We Communicate? C.What Are the Six Basic Emotions? D.Do We Have the Same Expressions? D We have heard some interesting ways that 5G wireless technology might change our lives in the future. 5G, short for the 5th generation mobile communication technology, promises Internet speeds between 50 to 100 times faster than current 4G systems. While 5G is set to be used in some limited areas of America this year, much of the world is not expected to receive widely available service until 2023. One project in Britain, however, is already testing this superfast technology on an unlikely grou
