They are one of the most influential people of todays world. With practical advantages in engineering, medicine and technology, they have helped us to grow better understanding about the world and different working phenomenon that governs us. Their names are remembered in the sands of time for their work in the welfare of mankind with different inventions that has made our modern lives easy. Here is a list of the four great scientists weve ever seen who changed the world. Louis Pasteur(18221895)Pasteur contributed greatly towards the advancement of medical sciences developing cures for rabies, anthrax and other infectious diseases. He also invented the process of pasteurization(加热杀菌法)to make milk safer to drink. He probably saved more lives than any other person.Otto Hahn(18791968)Hahn was a German chemist who discovered nuclear fission(裂变)in 1939. He was a pioneering scientist in the field of radiochemistry, and discovered radioactive elements in 1921. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1944.Nikola Tesla(18561943)Tesla worked on electromagnetism and AC current. He obtained around 300 patents worldwide for his inventions from electricity to radio transmission, but many inventions developed by Tesla were not put into patent protection. He played a key role in the development of modern electricity.James Clerk Maxwell(18311879)Maxwell made great progress in understanding electromagnetism. His research in electricity and kinetics laid the foundation for quantum(量子)physics. Einstein said of Maxwell, “The work of James Clerk Maxwell changed the world forever.”【解题导语】本文介绍了四位伟人， 四个人都是社会的重要贡献者， 为社会变革做出了巨大的贡献。21What contribution did Louis Pasteur make to society?AThe development of medicine.BRadiochemistry.CModern electricity.DQuantum physics.解析：选A细节理解题。根据“Pasteur contributed greatly towards the advancement of medical sciences developing cures for rabies, anthrax and other infectious diseases.”可知， Louis Pasteur 促进了医学的发展。所以A选项是正确的。22Who was thought highly of by Einstein?ALouis Pasteur.BOtto Hahn.CNikola Tesla.DJames Clerk Maxwell.解析：选D细节理解题。根据“Einstein said of Maxwell, The work of James Clerk Maxwell changed the world forever.”可知， 爱因斯坦对James Clerk Maxwell的评价很高。所以D选项是正确的。23What can we infer about the four people?AThey are medical pioneers.BThey are Nobel Prize winners.CThey are great contributors to society.DThey are founders of modern physics.解析：选C主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知， 他们四个人都是社会的重要贡献者， 为社会变革做出了巨大的贡献。所以C选项是正确的。BOne day while shopping in a small town in southern California，it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality conflicted with mine. He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing，and marched angrily out of the store. My hostility toward that clerk increased with each step.On the outside，standing by the road，was a darkskinned young man in his early twenties. His expressive brown eyes met and held mine，and in the next instant a beautiful，dazzling smile covered his face. I gave way immediately. The magnetic power of that smile dissolved all bitterness within me，and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding.“Beautiful day，isnt it？” I remarked，in passing. Then，I turned back.“I really owe you a debt of gratitude，”I said softly. His smile deepened，but he made no attempt to answer. A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby. The woman stepped forward and eyed me inquiringly.“Sir，but he doesnt speak English，” she volunteered.“You want I should tell him something？”At that moment I felt transformed. The young mans smile had made a big person of me.“Yes，” my reply was enthusiastic and sincere，“tell him I said Thank you！”“Thank you？” The woman seemed slightly puzzled. I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave. “Just tell him that，” I insisted.“Hell understand；I am sure！”Oh，what a smile can do！Although I have never seen that young man again，I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning. From that day on，I became smileconscious，and I practice the art diligently，anywhere and everywhere，with everybody.【解题导语】作者在一次对别人充满了怨恨的时候，从一位迎面而来的小伙子那里感悟到了微笑的巨大能量。24The author left the store angrily because _.Ahis intended purchases were of poor qualityBtheres nothing he wanted in the shopCthe clerk didnt speak EnglishDthe clerk didnt treat him kindly解析：选D细节理解题。由第一段第二句“He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase.”可知答案。25The underlined word “hostility” in the first paragraph probably means _.AattitudeBhatredCideaDopinion解析：选B词义猜测题。由前面的描述可以看出，由于售货员的不和善，“我”很生气，由此可以看出四个选项中只有“hatred(怨恨，讨厌)”符合语境。26What does the author mean by saying “I found the muscles in my own face happily responding.” in Paragraph 2?AHe did not want to smile.BHe would thank the young man.CHe smiled back at the young man.DHe was happy to meet the young man.解析：选C句意理解题。该句中的最后一个词意为： 回应。由此可以看出，对于对方的微笑，“我”同样以微笑来回应。27The passage tells us that we should _.Ahelp people in troubleBsmile at othersCpractice smiling every dayDbe generous to strangers解析：选B主旨大意题。作者通过自己的经历告诉我们微笑的重要意义，因此B项正确。CWhat are the biggest problems that society will have to deal with in the new age? There are diseases like AIDS and cancer. Theres climate change, of course. And what about producing enough cheap food and energy for the worlds growing population? Whos going to solve all these terrible problems? Yes, politicians and world leaders will have a big part to play. Yes, businesses will need to create the economic wealth to pay for some of these things. But whos going to make a much greater difference to something like AIDS or climate change. Its going to be a scientist. It is the scientist who can turn some new bit of science into a new technology to solve these problems. If you like thinking about the world around you, why not become a scientist? It doesnt mean you have to wear a white coat and plastic glasses and spend all your time in a lab as most people often imagine! Scientists do all kinds of amazing things that are actually interesting! Military scientists develop not only new weapons but new military technologies that could help make wars out of date. Forensic(法医的) scientists work with the police to find quite small clues to catch criminals. Scientists work in schools and colleges as the teachers and professors who will train tomorrows scientists. Dont think a scientist is far away! Maybe you like cooking? You could be a food technologist helping to keep fruit and vegetables fresher for longer. Perhaps sport is your thing? Do you know that most top athletes work with sports scientists in order to improve their performance? You could even be the science writer who gets to spend the life studying the latest advances and sharing them with the world. Looking for something to do for the rest of your life? My advice? Take a long and hard look at science. It is interesting and ever. 【解题导语】本文提出在新时代社会必须解决的最大问题， 科学家在解决这些问题中起着重要作用。其实每个人都可以成为某个领域的科学家。28Many problems are mentioned in the first paragraph to _.Asuggest they are impossible to be solvedBintroduce the causes of these problemsCshow the writers worry about the future worldDshow scientists play an important part in solving them解析：选D推理判断题。根据第一段最后三句“But whos going to make a much greater difference to something like AIDS or climate change.

The findings are similar to a recent University of Michigan survey, which also noticed the decrease. Its unclear why teen vaping fell last year, and its too soon to know if the numbers will continue to drop.One possibility may be a growing push to ban the sale of ecigarettes to minors(未成年人), including a federal regulation that took effect in August. Another may be the influence of ad campaigns by the government and other organizations to stop kids from smoking, the CDC said.Ecigarettes may also be losing their novelty (新奇) among teens, said Matthew Farrelly, a tobacco control researcher at RTL International. Studies suggest many kids who vape use the products less often than kids who smoke cigarettesa sign that vaping seems to be more social and experimental，some experts said.“These products were new and unusual and now were starting to see that change，” said Robin Koval, president of Truth Initiative，a public health education organization that runs antitobacco ads.According to the CDC, cigarette smoking among young people has been falling for many years, but the decrease in ecigarettes was more remarkable (显著的)In 2011, 1.5 percent of high school students said theyd recently vaped. That jumped to 16 percent in 2015, and its become more common than cigarette smoking. But it dropped to about 11 percent last year, the CDC said. For middle school students, about 5 percent said theyd recently vaped in 2015. That fell to about 4 percent last year, the study found.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项政府调查表明，使用电子烟的中学生数量大幅下降。32What does the underlined part “ that change” in Paragraph 4 refer to?AEcigarette
