She made important discoveries about genes and chromosomes（染色体）.Barbara McClintock was born in
16、 1902 in Hartford, Connecticut. Her family moved to （he Brooklyn area of New York City in 1908. Barbara was an active child with interests in sports and music. She also developed an interest in science.She studied science at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Barbara was among a small number of
17、 undergraduate students to receive training in genetics in 1921. Years later, she noted that few college students wanted to study genetics.Barbara McClintock decided to study botany, the scientific study of plants, at Cornell University. She completed her undergraduate studies in 1923. McClintock de
18、cided to continue her education at Cornell. She completed the master*s degree in 1925. Two years later, she finished all her requirements for the doctorate degree.McClintock stayed at Cornell after she completed her education. She taught students botany. The 1930s was not a good time to be a young s
19、cientist in the United States. The counti-y was in the middle of the great economic depression. Millions of Americans were unemployed. Male scientists were offered jobs. But female geneticists were not much indemand.An old friend from Cornell, Marcus Rhoades, invited McClintock to spend the summer o
20、f 1941 working at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. It is a research center on Long Island, near New York City. McClintock started a temporary job with the genetics dcpailmcnt. A short time later, she accepted a perpetual position in the laboratory and got continual incomes. This gave her the freed
21、om to continue her research without repeatedly asking for financial aid.By Ihe 1970s, her discoveries had had an effect on everything from genetic engineering to cancer research. McClintock won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of the ability of genes to change pos
22、itions on chromosomes. She was the first American woman to win an unshared Nobel Prize.4. When did McClintock get a doctorate degree?A. In 1921.B. In 1923.C. In 1925.D. In 19275.

With the coming of new technologies like computers and smart phone, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic（怀旧的）skill. However, whi
26、le todays educators are using more and more technologies in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful both in school and in life. Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says its important
27、to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks-both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a
28、 pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete senten3ces and had a faster word production rale.In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a students writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. Spelling ma
29、kes some of the thinking parts of the brain active, which helps us access our vocabulary, word meanings and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with idcas. Berninger said.Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe （转 换）“those wo
30、rds in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,the study said. Seeing the words in the minds eye helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time.“In our computer a
31、ge, some people believe that we dont have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,“ she said. 44But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they wont have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”8.

Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.It is a well-known fact that plastic bottles, which take
35、 hundreds of years to rot, are harmful to our environment. However, efforts by environmentalists to encourage consumers to switch to alternatives, like water fountains or reusable bottles, have not been very effective. The U.S. alone uses over 50 million plastic bottles annually, 80% of which end up
36、 in landfills.To try to stop that, Rodrigo Garcia Gonzdlez, Pierre Paslier and Guillaume Couche from the Imperial College London have been working on a revolutionary solution - water wrapped inside an eatable container made mostly from seaweed. All the customer has to do to relieve his/her thirst is
37、 pop the entire drop into the mouth.The inventors, who have been working on the Ooho bubble since 2014, use a simple two-step cooking process called spherification （球化）to create the delicate container. They begin by dipping a frozen ball of water or juice into a chemical solution （溶液）.This helps for
38、m a layer around the liquid. The ball is then absorbed in a solution made from seaweed extract. This creates a second layer, helping strengthen the structure so that the water or juice does not leak. In addition to saving our environment, the biodegradable （可降解的） packaging costs just two cents each,
39、 making it cheaper to produce than plastic.After three years of perfecting the design, the inventors, who recently raised over 1 million USD from a financial activity, arc ready to bring the Ooho bubble to local market. However, there arc a few challenges that still need to be overcome before the pr
40、oducts launch. In addition to getting accustomed to the taste of the covering, each eatable container contains just a mouthful of water, requiring consumers to drink multiple bubbles to relieve their thirst. There is also the issue of finding an eco-friendly packaging to transport the bubbles so tha
41、t they remain clean and do not burst. Hopefully, the inventors will find ways to handle the issues so that wc can reduce, or perhaps even remove, plastic bottles.12. Why was the Ooho bubble created?A. To test a newly-designed material.B. To change consutncrs, drinking habit.C. To reduce pollution ca
42、used by plastic.D. To take a share of drinking waterindustry.13. What will the inventors probably do next?A. Solve some specific problems of the product. B. Collect more money to expand production.C. Distribute the Ooho bubble to global market. D. Advertise the advantages of the Ooho bubble.14. What
43、 is the authors attitude towards the Ooho bubbles launch?A. Uncaring.B. Doubtful.C. Confident. D. Opposed.15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. Scientists Work out a New Kind of WaterB. Plastic Bottles Will Be Replaced by the Ooho BubbleC. Environmental Pollution is Expe
44、cted to Be SolvedD. The Ooho Bubble Aims to Remove Plastic Bottles二、七选五How to Feel ConnectedIts easy to feel disconnected from what is going on around you in todays fast-paced world. 16 You can get in touch and feel connected, however, by following (he tips below:Consider why you feel disconnected.
