It is with mixed emotions that I went to the young criminal center every few months to
give vaccinations(按种疫苗). On the one hand, I feel lucky to be able to provide a service
that may have a positive health effect on the residents. But, on the other hand, I feel a sense
of sadness and disappointment as I see the prisoners being escorted（押送）by guards to the
nursing unit.
My last visit was very memorable. For some reason, there was a lightness in the air.More than ever before, I felt a lightness as I spoke with each person. We shared stories and
smiles and fears. Even the toughest prisoners seemed to be surrounded by light. As a mother,
I saw them as not only youth, being punished for crimes, but also as children who have the
potential to change for the better. Most of them wanted to talk longer! They were reaching
out to us! It felt right.
There was one more prisoner. He was limited to a different unit in a lonely cell. We were
asked if we were okay going down there. We said that we were. Two guards escorted us down
and when we entered the area, instant tears welled up in my eyes. The area was sad. These
guards didn't smile. We entered the cell and had to make do with what was there
We were done but I didn't want to leave. I gave the 17 year old a gentle touch and smile
as I explained what to do regarding the side effects. At first there was no response, so I just
looked down at his bare feet and then to my supplies. I thought that I had better pack up
Suddenly, he looked up at me and smiled before he said "Thanks" and then he gave me a
thumbs-up. I smiled back and said, "You're welcome. Take care of yourself."
It was wonderful to receive a kind response from someone who was in such a harsh
place. As we walked back to the main entrance, we didn't speak. Where there can be a smile,
there is hope. Sometimes smiles can be very powerful
24. What can we know about the young in the young criminal center
A. They received regular medical service.
B .They were treated unfairly
C.They stayed in bad conditions
D . They were forced to take treatment
25 .What was special about the center the last time the author went there?
A. She was asked to share stories B . Every prisoner was kind to her
C. The young people talked freely D. She sensed a relaxing atmosphere
26. What did the young man think of the author?
A. He disliked her for her sympathy
B . He really appreciated her kindness
C. He thought she would change his life
D. He thought she was just an ordinary doctor
27. What impressed the author most in this story?
A. The young man's smile.
B .The medical care for prisoners.
C. The punishment to the prisoners.
D. The difference between the young man and others.

In 1992, Teen Talk Barbie was released with the controversial voice fragment, "Mathclass is
hard." While the toy's release met with strong public reaction, this underlying assumption persists,
spreading the myth that women do not thrive in science, technology,engineering and mathematic
(STEM) fields due to biological inadequacies in math aptitude.
However, in 2019 Jessica Cantlon at Carnegie Mellon University led a research team that
comprehensively examined the brain development of young boys and girls and found no gender
difference in brain function or math ability.
Cantlon and her team conducted the first neuroimaging study to evaluate biological gender differences in math aptitude of young children. Her team used functional MRI【核磁共振）to
measure the brain activity in 104 young children (3-to-lO-year-old; 55 girls) while watching an
educational video covering early math topics, like counting and addition. The researchers compared
scans from the boys and girls to evaluate brain similarity. In addition,the team examined brain
maturity by comparing the children's scans to those taken from a group of adults (63 adults; 25
women) who watched the same math videos.After numerous statistical comparisons, Cantlon and her
team found no difference in the brain development of girls and boys. In addition, the researchers
found no difference in how boys and girls processed math skills and were equally engaged while
watching the educational videos. Finally, boys' and girls' brain maturity were statistically equivalent
when compared to either men or women in the adult group. Cantlon said she thinks society and
culture are likely steering girls and young women away from math and STEM fields, as previous
studies show that families spend more time with young boys in play that involves spatial cognition
(空间认知)．"Typical socialization can make worse small differences between boys and girls that
can snowball into how we treat them in science and math," Cantlon said. "We need to be aware of
these origins to ensure we aren′t the ones causing the gender inequities." However, this project is
focused on early childhood development using a limited set of math tasks. Cantlon wants to
continue this work using a broader scope of math skills, such asspatial processing and memory, and
follow the children over many years
28. What can we infer about the toy's release?
A. It has raised a storm of applause
B . Girls perform no worse than boys in math
C. Math is a subject difficuit to every one ofus
D .Women are born with insufficient math abilities
29.What can we learn from the study conducted by Cantlon?
A.Boys process math skills more quickly than girls
B .Boys and girls have similar brain in math abilities
C.Boys and girls have similar interest in math
D . Adults have better brain than children in math
30. What will Cantlon most likely agree with?
A. Parents should lengthen the time spent with girls.
B . Society is causing a greater gender difference in math abilities.
C . Culture plays a leading role in children's brain development.
D. We should cultivate boys' and girls' math abilities equally.
31 . How will Cantlon further her research?
A. By using a wider range of math skills.
B . By involving a broader scope of subj ects.
C. By increasing the complexity of math tasks.
D . By following the children until their adulthood.

Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde has spent much of his time seeking artistic solutions (解决方
案) to solve our environmental problems. His past projects include "Bioluminescent (生物发光)
Trees" to light streets, a "Smog-Free Tower" to clean Beijing's polluted air, and"Gates of Light".
which uses the headlamps of passing cars to light up the 60 floodgates of the Afsluitdijk, a major
dam in the Netherlands. Now, he is hoping to use his skills to solve a pressing global problem-space junk!Scientists guess that there are over 500,000 bits of large rubbish. To deal with the problem,
Roosegaarde intends to achieve his goal by educating the public about the need of the situation and
coming up with possible solutions. The plan, called the Space Waste Lab,started in October 2018
with a laser(激光) show in the Netherlands. The unique outdoor artwork of LEDs used real-time
tracking information to point at pieces of space junk floating at altitudes of 200 to 20,000 kilometers.
The experience was designed to make the public
know more about how much space junk there are To find a solution, the designer has been
thinking with experts. One of the proj ects being considered is "Shooting Stars", which attempts to
reintroduce the trash to the atmosphere in a controlled way. Upon reentry, the waste would burn in
the atmosphere like a shooting star Roosegaarde envisageS that if successful, buming space trash
could someday replace fireworks at large public events In September 2018, the RemoveDEBRIS
satellite successfully sent a net to catch a target while orbiting at an altitude of about 300 kilometers
(190 miles) . Sometime this year,the capsule will set free a harpoon that has been designed to
remove space trash. At the end of its task, RemoveDEBRIS will let go a sail to bring the satellite
itself, and, hopefully some trash, back into the atmosphere, where it will burn up
32. What can we infer about Daan Roosegaarde?
A. He is too aggressive to put forward good plans
B . He is creative in solving environmental problems
C.He is fond of spending all of his time seeking art skills
D.He is sensitive to art reflected in environmental projects
33.Why was a laser show held in October 2018?
A.To confirm real-time information about space trash.
B. To show the great beauty of LEDs to common people.
C. To raise public awareness of the amount of space trash.
D. To inspire people to consider the solution to space trash.
34. What does the underlined word "envisage" in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Suspect. B. Demand. C. Advise D. Imagine
35. Whatis the function ofa sail?
A. Bringing the satellite to atmosphere to burn.
B Keeping trash traveling along its own orbit.
C. Taking the satellite away from atmosphere.
D. Removing space trash out of the capsule.
