their search for the truth.Sir Isaac Newton,the seventeenth century scientist,was very smart,but that didnt stop him from doing some pretty stupid things.In his laboratory in Cambridge he often did the strangest experiments.Once,while testing how light passes through lenses(晶状体),he put 日期：2022 年二月八日。日期：2022 年二月八日。a long needle into his eye,pushed it to the back,and then moved it around just to see what would happen.Luckily,nothing long-lasting did.On another occasion he stared at the sun for as long as he could bear,to discover what effect this would have on his sight.Again he escaped suffering permanent damage,though he had to spend some days in a darkened room before his eyes recovered.In the 1750s the Swedish chemist Karl Scheele was the first person to find a way to produce phosphorus(磷).He in fact discovered eight more chemical elements including chlorine(氯),though he didnt get any praise for them.He was a very clever scientist,but his one failing was a curious habit of tasting a little of every substance he worked with.This risky practice finally caught up with him,and in 1786 he was found dead in his laboratory surrounded by a large number of dangerous chemicals,any of which might have been responsible for his death.Eugene Shoemaker was a respected geologist.He spent a large part of his life studying craters(火山口)on the moon,and how they were formed,and later did research into the comets of the planet Jupiter.In 1997 he and his wife were in the Australian desert where they went every year to search for places where comets might have hit the earth.While driving in the Tanami desert,normally one of the emptiest places in the world,another vehicle crashed into them and Shoemaker was killed on the spot.Some of his ashes(骨灰)were sent to the moon aboard the Lunar Prospector spacecraft and left there he is the only person who has had this honor.21.What did Karl Scheele like doing when performing experiments?A.Tasting chemicals.B.Staying in the empty lab.C.Experimenting in darkness.D.Working together with others.22.What special honor was Shoemaker given after his death?日期：2022 年二月八日。日期：2022 年二月八日。A.He was buried in the Tanami desert.B.Some of his ashes were placed on the moon.C.One comet of Jupiter was named after him.D.A spacecraft carrying him traveled around Jupiter.23.The text is mainly about three great scientists _.A.special honors B.great achievements C.famous experiments D.sufferings in the job B More primary care doctors in a community(社区)appear to lead to improved life expectancy for people living there,though a lack of such physicians across U.S.could be a cause of concern for overall population health in years to come.For the study,researchers looked at physician counts per 100,000 people in a range covering 2021 to 2015 in the U.S.,along with life expectancy and specific causes of death.They found that an increase of 10 primary care physicians per 100,000 population was associated with a 51.5-day increase in life expectancy,while an increase of 10 specialty physicians per 100,000 population increased life expectancy by 19.2 days.An increase in primary care physicians also was associated with reductions of many deaths including heart diseases and cancers.Along with those findings,though,the study said many communities did not have primary care physicians in 2021,with the decline in supply more prominent in rural areas than their urban areas.Many believe that a well-functioning health care system requires a solid foundation of primary care,however,payment difference between primary care and technical specialties 日期：2022 年二月八日。日期：2022 年二月八日。continue to dispirit the U.S.primary care physician workforce.“Higher pay and lifestyle preferences lead most students to choose non-primary care fields,even when their hearts say primary care,the study said.“We must turn this trend around with practical changes in physician payment policy;no amount of superb primary care training or creative practice reform will prevent further declines in primary care physician,which will lead to worsening health for the United States.The studys researchers conclude that future research should focus on the“quality and cover of primary care,types of primary care physician training and service offerings,and effective access rather than just supply.24.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A.Provide some data for the readers,B.Offer some tips on life expectancy.C.Add some background information,D.Stress the importance of primary care,25.Which of the following best explains“prominent underlined in Paragraph 3?A.Adequate.B.Considerate.C.Obvious.D.Reasonable.26.What discourages young people from taking up the primary care?A.Primary care is badly paid.B.They have to work in rural areas,C.They need to face fierce competition.D.Primary care lacks superb training 27.What is the main idea of the text?A.Primary care can lengthen life.B.Primary care needs improving.C.Primary care physicians are decreasing.D.Higher pay attracts more primary care physicians 日期：2022 年二月八日。日期：2022 年二月八日。C Technology offers conveniences such as opening the garage door from your car or changing the television station without touching the TV.Now one American company is offering its employees a new convenience:a microchip implanted(植入)in their hands.Employees who have these chips can do all kinds of things just by waving their hands.Three Square Market is offering to implant microchips in all of their employees for free.Each chip costs$300 and Three Square Market will pay for the chip.Employees can volunteer to have the chips implanted in their hands.About 50 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so.The president of the company,his wife and their children are also getting chips implanted in their hands.The chip is about the size of a grain of rice.Implanting the chip only takes about a second and is said to hurt only very briefly.The chips go under the skin between the thumb and forefinger.With a chip in the hand,a person can enter the office building,buy food,sign into computers and more,simply by waving that hand near a scanner.The chips will be also used to identify employees.Employees who want convenience,but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin,can wear a wristband(腕带)or a ring with a chip instead.They can perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip.Three Square Market is the first company in the United States to offer to implant chips in its employees.Epicenter,a company in Sweden,has been implanting chips in its employees for a while.Three Square Market says the chip cannot track the employees.The company says scanners can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them.“The chips protect against 日期：2022 年二月八日。日期：2022 年二月八日。identity theft,similar to credit cards.The U.S.Food and Drug Administration approved the chips back in 2021,so they should be safe for humans,according to the company.In the future,people with the chips may be able to do more with them,even outside the office.Todd Westby is Chief Executive Officer of Three Square Market.He says,“Eventually,this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport,public transit,all purchasing opportunities,etc.28.What is the third paragraph mainly about?A.The substitutes of the chips.B.The advantages of the chips.C.The places to implant the chips.D.The potential risks of implanting the chips.29.What does the underlined word“them in Paragraph 5 refer to?A.the hands B.the employees C.the credit cards D.the scanners 30.We can infer that _.A.the chips are very popular among the employees B.the chips have magic powers C.the price of the chips is reasonable D.most people suspect the application of the chips 31.Which of the following best describes Todd Westby s attitude towards the chips?A.Defensive.B.Disappointing.C.Optimistic.D.Casual.D Ever walked to the shops only to find,once there,youve completely forgotten what you 日期：2022 年二月八日。日期：2022 年二月八日。went for?Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend?For years weve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of aging as wrinkles and gray hair.But now a new book suggests that weve got it all wrong.According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain,by science writer Barbara Strauch,when it comes to the important things,our brains actually get better with age.In fact,she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s much later than previously thought.Furthermore,rather than losing many brain cells as we age,we keep them,and even produce new ones well into middle age.For years its been assumed that brain,much like the body,declines with age.But the longest,largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956,testing them every seven years.It has found that on average,participants performed better on cognitive(认知的)tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s.Specifically,older people did better on tests of vocabulary,verbal memory(how many words you can remember)and problem solving.Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed how fast you can push a button when ordered.However,with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language,we are at our best at middle age and beyond.In short,researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with aging.A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions.It is thought that when were younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn 日期：2022 年二月八日。日期：2022 年二月八日。about the possible dangers in the world,but as we get older weve learned our lessons and are aware that we have less time left in life:therefore,it becomes more important for us to be happy.32.Barbara Strauch probably agrees that _.A.the young are better at handling important things B.peoples brains work best between their 40s and 60s C.aging leads to the decline of the function of the brain D.wrinkles and gray hair are the only symbols of aging 33.The continuing research has found older people perform better on _.A.perceptual speed B.number ability C.vocabulary tests D.body balance 34.People are happier with aging because _.A.they learn to value the time left B.they know how to share feelings C.they cannot focus on negative aspects D.they do not realize the possible dangers 35.What is the main idea of the passage?A.People get happier with age.B.People get wiser with age.C.People get more forgetful with age.D.People get more self-aware with age.第二节(每一小题 2 分，满分是 10 分 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。选项里面有两项为多余选项。日期：2022 年二月八日。日期：2022 年二月八日。How to Remember What You
