Time magazine named him Person ofthe Century. Marie Curie Born Maria Salomea Sklodowska in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland, she lived a hard life in her youth. In 1903, Curie, her husband and Becquerel won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work on radioactivity, making Curie the first woman to win a Nobel. In 1911 Curie won her second Nobel Prize, this time in chemistry, for her work with polonium and radium. She remains the only person to win Nobel prizes in two different sciences. Ada Lovelace Ada Lovelace earned her place in history as the first computer programmer — a full century before today’s computers appeared.She couldn’t have done it without British mathematician, inventor and engineer Charles Babbage. Their cooperation started in the early 1830s, when Lovelace was just 17. Babbage thought Lovelace threw her magic around the most abstract of Sciences and has grasped it with a force which few male intellects( 知识分子) could have placed over it. Nikola Tesla We owe much of our modern electrified life to the lab experiments of Nikola Tesla, the Serbian-American engineer, born in 1856 in what’s now Croatia. His designs advanced alternating current( 交流电) at the start of the electric age , powering American homes across the country. He developed the Tesla coil — a high-voltage transformer （高压变压器） — and techniques to convey power wirelessly. Cellphone makers (and others) are just now using the potential of this idea. 21.What does the underlined word witty most probably mean? 22.How many of the scientists in the passage worked with others to make great achievements?

Nikola Tesla made great contributions to our modern electrified life. B Betty White, a longtime television star who enjoyed a second wave of popularity in her 90s, was best known for her roles on The Golden Girls and The Mary Tyler Moore Show. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下列短文， 从每题所给的 A 、B 、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Greatest Scientists of All Time any photos of your private parts,” and “get eight hours of beauty sleep — nine if you’re ugly”.The following year White told The New York Times that she was a “health nut” whose “favorite food is hot dogs with French fries. And my exercise — I have a two-story house and a very bad memory, so I’m up and down those stairs.” However, there were times when White gave some more serious understanding about how mental health was really important in staying healthy.“First of all, keep busy and don’t focus everything on you. That wears out pretty fast. It’s not hard to find things you’re interested in, but enjoy them and get involved in them. And I think that keeps you on your toes,” she told journalist Katie Couric on her 95th birthday. White would have turned 100 on Jan. 17, 2022 and for aPeople profilethat was meant to celebrate her centennial year, the actress spoke about how she was feeling.“I’m so lucky to be in such good health and feel so good at this age,” she said. “It’s amazing.” 24.What happened to Betty White in her 90s? 26.What plays an important role in Betty White’s exercise? 27.What did Betty White think difficult to keep mentally healthy? C CTK Bio Canada (the “Company”) has developed a new bioplastic resin( 树脂) designed to degrade(break down) by both industrial and home compostin( 堆制肥料), as well as in unmanaged environments like soil and seawater, in order to reduce microplastic pollution. The Company is now undertaking detailed experimental trials with academic partners to further strengthen and prove its technology ahead of expected commercial release in 2022, meanwhile a temporary patent( 专利) has been applied for. Over 360 million tons of plastic waste are now produced every year, with only 9% of that being recycled. CTK Bio Canada is aiming to replace conventional plastic used for packaging with a safer, more sustainable( 可持续的) choice. Bioplastics currently account for only 1% of global plastic production, and much of this requires specialized composting equipment in order to break them down. High costs, issues with production equipment, and poor long-term steady state have also limited the broader commercial consumption of bioplastics. Now, CTK Bio Canada founded by JK Park and Daniel Shum believes they have found a solution. The company is the new Canadian subsidiary( 附属公司) ofKorean cosmetic giant CTK “The goals we set for ourselves were high, so we wanted to work with the very best in the field to produce a material that could do better than what was currently on the market.” 28. Why is the new bioplastic resin developed? 29. How many tons of plastic waste is recycled? A. 360,000,000. B. 32,400,000. C. 3,600,000. D. Not mentioned. 30. What is the attitude of Park towards the research on bioplastics? A. Negative. B. Unclear. C. Positive. D. Opposed. 31. What is the passage mainly about? D “It’s like tasering( 电击) an elderly person who’s already on a pacemaker( 起搏器),” says a British newspaper boss ofthe newsprint （新闻纸） market, where prices have risen by over 50% in a matter ofmonths. When times were good, before ads went online, newspapers had a supportive partnership with paper mills( 工厂).As ads went away and circulations fell, “paper mills had the worst of it for years as newspapers reduced pages, went wholly digital or shut for ever.” The papers were able to cut down the cost of newsprint from firms fighting for business as demand decreased. Price-taking paper mills suffered in silence, taking out newsprint capacity( 容 量) and adjusting machines to make packaging for e-commerce.The pandemic, with people working from home, meant even fewer newspaper sales, which depressed demand for newsprint again and increased the pain for paper suppliers.In the past 24 months European mills have responded by shutting almost a fifth of their newsprint capacity, says a buyer for a large British newspaper group. Then reopening of economies and growing demand for newsprint, combined with much reduced capacity and coupled with up-going energy prices, has r
