menIntoScienceB．JamesGross,ConfusionAboutHisdaughterC．SituationofWomenintheWholeCountryD．FutureofWomenintheWorkforce答案：A標(biāo)題判斷題。通讀全文可知本文主要講述了長期以來科學(xué)界一直存在的一個現(xiàn)象：科學(xué)界的女性較少。分析文章可知大學(xué)畢業(yè)的女性多于男性，但在高端的數(shù)學(xué)密集領(lǐng)域非常少。這更說明這一領(lǐng)域需要更多的女性。分析選項中可知A項符合題意，故選A。C(2019·全國卷Ⅱ)Bacteriaareanannoyingproblemforastronauts.Themicroorganisms(微生物)fromourbodiesgrowuncontrollablyonsurfacesoftheInternationalSpaceStation,soastronautsspendhourscleaningthemupeachweek.HowisNASAovercomingthisverytinybigproblem?It'sturningtoabunchofhighschoolkids.Butnotjustanykids.ItisdependingonNASAHUNCHhighschoolclassrooms,liketheonescienceteachersGeneGordonandDonnaHimmelbergleadatFairportHighSchoolinFairport,NewYork.HUNCHisdesignedtoconnecthighschoolclass-roomswithNASAengineers.Forthepasttwoyears,Gordon'sstudentshavebeenstudyingwaystokillbacteriainzerogravity,andtheythinkthey'reclosetoasolution(解決方案).“Wedon'tgivethestudentsanybreaks.TheyhavetodoitjustlikeNASAengineers，”saysFlorenceGold,aprojectmanager.“Therearenotests，”Gordonsays.“Thereisnogradedhomework.Therealmostarenogrades,otherthan‘Areyouworkingtowardsyourgoal？’Basically,it's‘I'vegottoproducethisproductandthen,attheendoftheyear,presentittoNASA.’Engineerscomeandreallydoanin-personreview,and...it'snotaverynicethingattimes.It'sahardbusinessreviewofyourproduct.”GordonsaystheHUNCHprogramhasanimpact(影響)oncollegeadmissionsandpracticallifeskills.“ThesekidsaresoabsorbedintheirstudiesthatIjustsitback.Idon'tteach.”Andthatannoyingbacteria?GordonsayshisstudentsareemailingdailywithNASAengineersabouttheproblem,readyingaworkablesolutiontotestinspace.＋9mm]篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了美國一所中學(xué)與NASA合作的聯(lián)合科研項目，解決國際空間站中的細(xì)菌問題。8．WhatdoweknowaboutthebacteriaintheInternationalSpaceStation?A．Theyarehardtogetridof.B．Theyleadtoairpollution.C．Theyappearindifferentforms.D．Theydamagetheinstruments.答案：A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第二句可知，來自我們身體的微生物在太空站的表面增長得很快，宇航員每周得花很長時間清理它們，由此斷定太空站里的細(xì)菌很難清除，故答案為A。9．WhatisthepurposeoftheHUNCHprogram?A．Tostrengthenteacher-studentrelationships.B．Tosharpenstudents'communicationskills.C．Toallowstudentstoexperiencezerogravity.D．Tolinkspacetechnologywithschooleducation.答案：D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句可知，HUNCH項目的目的是把學(xué)校教育與航天技術(shù)聯(lián)系在一起，故答案為D。10．WhatdotheNASAengineersdoforthestudentsintheprogram?A．Checktheirproduct. B．Guideprojectdesigns.C．Adjustworkschedules. D．Gradetheirhomework.答案：A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后兩句可知，NASA工程師親自檢查那些高中學(xué)生的產(chǎn)品，故答案為A。11．Whatisthebesttitleforthetext?A．NASA:TheHomeofAstronautsB．Space:TheFinalHomeworkFrontierC．Nature:AnOutdoorClassroomD．HUNCH:ACollegeAdmissionReform答案：B標(biāo)題判斷題。本文主要介紹了一個項目：把高中的教室教學(xué)與太空的研究聯(lián)系起來，使學(xué)生們得到NASA工程師們的指導(dǎo)。因此在選標(biāo)題時既要有太空，還要有學(xué)生，選項B將其完美地結(jié)合了起來，故答案為B。D(2020·廣西柳州市高三上學(xué)期摸底考試)DrNancyRoman,bornin1925,whowascelebratedasapioneerforfemalescientistsandhadadvancedthelaunchoftheHubbleSpaceTelescope,diedonDec.25,2018.WhenNancyRomanaskedforpermissiontotakeasecondalgebra(代數(shù))courseinhighschool,ateacherdemandedtoknow“whatladywouldtakemathematicsinsteadofLatin”.Incollege,aprofessoradmittedthatheoftentriedtopreventwomenfrommajoringinphysicsbutNancystucktoit.AndafterreceivingDoctor'sdegreeinastronomy,shefoundaprofessionalhomeatNASA(美國宇航局).In1959,DrRomanbecamethefirstchiefofastronomyatNASAheadquarters,arolethatmadeheroneoftheagency'sfirstfemaleleaders.DrRomanspentmuchofhercareerhelpingdevelop,fundandpromotetechnologythatwouldhelpscientistsseemoreclearlybeyondEarth'satmosphere.Buthermostwell-knownworkwasperhapsleadingtodesigntheHubbleSpaceTelescope,thefirstmajortelescopetobesentintospaceforthepurposeofgatheringphotographsanddatafromtheuniverse.Shewas,therefore,namedas“themotherofHubble”.“Shemadeitpossibletogettheearlytelescopeupintospacetolearnwhatneededtobelearned，”saidsciencehistorianBobZimmerman,“andherhard-nosednaturehelpedgetthetelescopebuilt.”Thetelescopedidnotlaunchuntil1990,alittlemorethanadecadeafterDrRomanretired,butwhenitdid,itsphotographsoftheuniversethrilledtheworld.“Iamglad，”sheoncetoldScience,“IignoredthepeoplewhotoldmethatIcouldnotbeanastronomer.”篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了美國天文學(xué)家NancyRoman(南希·羅曼)傳奇的一生。文章旨在告訴我們堅持自己的夢想，你一定會成為你想成為的那個人！12．Whatcanweconcludefromtheteacher'sreactiontoNancyRoman'sapplicationfortakingasecondalgebracourse?A．Theteacherdoubtedit.B．Theteacherdidn'tcareaboutit.C．Theteacheraccepteditatonce.D．Theteacherwasstronglyagainstit.答案：A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一句可知在中學(xué)時當(dāng)NancyRoman請求批準(zhǔn)再參加代數(shù)課程時，一位老師要求知道“哪個女士會選擇數(shù)學(xué)而不是拉丁語？”可推知老師持懷疑的態(tài)度，故選A。13．WhatwasthemostfamousachievementofNancyRoman'swork?A．ShewasoneofthefoundersofNASA.B．Sheprovedtheblackholereallyexisted.C．Shewasthefirstfemaleastronomerintheworld.D．SheledtodesigntheHubbleSpaceTelescope.答案：D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二句“但是她最著名的工作也許是帶領(lǐng)設(shè)計哈勃空間望遠(yuǎn)鏡，這是第一個被送入太空的大型望遠(yuǎn)鏡，目的是從宇宙中收集照片和數(shù)據(jù)?！笨芍xD。14．WhendidDrNancyRomanprobablyretire?A．In1969.
