15、ughter were trapped in the car.While his partner,Allen Hadley,was lending to the driver,Lloyd couldnt get the frightened girl to calm down.He saw she was holding several bottles of nail polish,and then he had a better idea.He asked her if she wanted to paint his nails.Soon her eyes lit up.At the sam

16、e time,Hadley showed up to check on the scene.Lloyd had calmed her down and was in the process of getting his fingers painted.Then Hadley just put his hand in there.The girl began to color his nails pink.By this time,she was not only calm,but she was also happy.The girls mother was not injured.She t

22、so add stress to a career.Now,a new study backs that up with some astonishing numbers:After science,technology,engineering,and mathematics(STEM)professionals become parents,43% of women and 23% of men switch fields,transition(转变)to part-time work,or leave the workforce entirely.Many researchers and

23、parents already knew that STEM can be unwelcoming to parents,particularly mothers.But “the considerable departure was astonishing,”says Erin Cech,an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and lead author of the study,published in the Proceedings of the National A

24、cademy of Sciences.For both genders,“the proportions were higher than we expected.”The surprisingly high reduction rate for men also highlights that “parenthood in STEM is not just a mothers issue;its a workers issue,”Cech says.She hopes that the findings“might motivate changes,”such as more paid pa

25、rental leave from both government and employers and policies that better support flexible work time without a tight routine.“We are not suggesting that people who want families should avoid STEM;thats not the solution,”she emphasizes.By 2018,78% of new fathers were still working in STEM,the vast maj

26、ority full time.For new mothers,68% were still in STEM,but only 57% worked full time.For professionals without children,on the other hand,84% of men and 76% of women were predicted to still be working in STEM full time in 2018.For the new parents across all fields,16% of women were working part-time

27、 and 15% had left the workforce,as compared with just 2% and 3%,respectively,for men.These sharp differences make clear that,even though the reduction rate for fathers is higher than expected,mothers still face particular career challenges.23.What makes many STEM employees change their jobs?A.Worryi

28、ng about their family. B.The attraction of part-time jobs.C.Being tired of the former jobs. D.The heavy burden at home and work.24.Which statement may Erin Cech agree with?A.Working at home may be a popular choice. B.Increasing welfare may keep STEM parents.C.People with families should leave STEM.

29、D.STEM professionals should obey the rules.25.How many new mothers among the labor force worked full time in 2018?A.69%.B.76%. C.57%.D.31%.26.What does the author want to stress by listing the sharp differences?A.Too many fathers leave STEM. B.Its hard for mothers to make a balance.C.STEM jobs are n

30、o longer popular. D.Its impossible to have a successful career.DRecently,few samples of mice with diabetes(糖尿病)in an experiment showed signs of recovery.Then there arose much discussion regarding the morality of such animal-testing procedures,especially since many unfortunate samples lost lives.Is i

31、t moral(道德的) and necessary to make sacrifices(牺牲) to benefit the majority?Or are these procedures merely an immoral and unnecessary waste of lives?Some people assume that it is acceptable to make sacrifices for the greater benefits because it can provide a more accurate insight to promote the progre

32、ss of science.Through the test,we are able to obtain more accurate and reliable results that can lead to beneficial scientific progress to help the majority.Scientists believe that sacrificing real animal samples can give more accurate insights compared to abstract computer modeling.For example,rese

33、archers who have conducted experiments on mice for Parkinsons disease have found more promising results which could reverse(撤销、反转) the symptoms of this previously incurable disease.Therefore,the long-term benefits are more important than the short-term sacrifices.However,others have argued that thes

34、e acts are morally inappropriate especially since we have advanced to the point where there are more moral alternatives at present.They believe that everything has an alternative as long as effort and money are placed.With the presence of better and more moral alternatives,there is no reason and mor

35、al room to sacrifice,even if it is for the larger benefits.In all,the samples sacrifice is unavoidable due to their potential to attain great scientific progress.Research has shown that the cases having better and more moral alternatives are in rare exception,and most alternatives actually end up co

36、mpromising(妥协) other moral boundaries instead.However,if there exist such alternatives to some of the scientific procedures,we should try.27.Why does the author use two questions in Paragraph 1?A.To present diabetes. B.To introduce the topic of the text.C.To remind readers to focus on their health.

37、D.To show sympathy for the dead people.28.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Morality. B.Progress. C.Sacrificing samples. D.Relieving the symptoms of the disease.29.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Mice-testing experiments are illegal. B.There is no moral deba

38、te about animal testing.C.Scientists decide not to use animals for experiments.D.Researchers still have to sacrifice animals for science.30.What is the best title for the text?A.Have Animal Experiments Made Progress? B.Researches Are Fighting for Animal RightsC.Is It Necessary to Sacrifice Animal Sa

D.More Effort and Money Will Be Spent on Animals七选五Sports performance can be influenced by many different things.31There are many physical factors(因素)that play a part in sports performance.32 The natural talent and strength of the players will make a difference.Also,it is important to get eno

40、ugh sleep before you are in a sports event.33 Eating good meals is also important.When you are hungry,you cannot perform the same.You might be thinking about food when you should be thinking about the game.Of course,the more a team or a player practices,the more likely they are to perform well.The s

41、ame person with the same physical abilities might just become better as he practices.Researching your competitor can matter a lot in sports performance.Knowing their strengths and weaknesses can help you adjust how you play to give yourself a better performance against them.34 If you can figure out

42、where to hit the ball in tennis that would confuse your competitor,for example,then this can help you score points.35 If someone is very pessimistic about a game,for example,and is sure that he will lose,then he might increase his chances of doing so.If he is very nervous then he might be thinking a

43、bout that instead of focusing on the game.If he is focused then he might do better,achieving what he didnt even realize he could.His confidence can also affect how the other team views him.A.It is important to be aware of these factors.B.It is necessary to get to know your competitor and yourself.C.

44、Also,there are ways to play something smartly and do better.D.If you are tired,you may not perform as you normally would.E.If you have practiced enough to keep fit,you should have a rest.F.If someone is in good shape,then of course he will perform better.G.There are many psychological factors that c
