9、lege Observatory, hired her, and quickly found Fleming was hard-working, intelligent, dependable, highly attentive to detail, and good with numbers.Fleming wasnt the first woman to work in Pickerings lab. The Observatory was, in the beginning, the province of men, young physicists and astronomers. P
10、ickering had become soexasperatedwith the careless work of his male assistants. Hed said that his“Scotch maid” could do a better job.When Pickering officially hired Fleming as an assistant in 1881, she was one of a handful of women assistants in the lab, and the only one at that time with no scienti
11、fic education. But that proved not to be a problem. She began by assisting Pickering with photometry (光度测定), the process of measuring the brightness of stars. She finally became responsible for not only measuring and cataloging stars and publishing the Observatorys annual review but also for hiring,
12、 managing and training the women computers.When Fleming first began her work as a computer, there were known to be just under 200 variable stars. Within a decade at the Observatory, she and her fellow computers had recognized 100 more, many of them personally identified by Fleming. Her work of disco
13、vering, identifying and cataloging the stars resulted in the 1890 publication of the firstDraper Catalogue of Stellar Spectra, which listed the brightness, position and type of 10,351 stars.By 1893, thanks to Flemings initiative and Pickerings encouragement, there were 17 women computers working for
14、 the Observatory, totaling nearly half of all of the employees.“Wanting to work, wanting intellectual excitement, wanting to make a difference, and wanting the chance to make a contribution to science made women ideally suited to the kind of research the Observatory required.

18、s for blood diseases will enter the new year free of painful symptoms.The experiments suggest that changing DNA could treat sickle cell disease (SCD) and beta thalassemia, conditions both caused by faulty genes that make it difficult for the blood to carry oxygen. The companies behind the trials sai
19、d that a patient in the US with SCD had been well since July. A thalassemia patient in Germany had been free of symptoms for nine months.The treatment for both conditions involved a gene-editing tool called CRISPR-Cas9. It was used to change the DNA of some of the cells of Victoria Gray, 34, who has
20、 SCD. This caused her body to produce foetal haemoglobin, a substance not usually present after the age of six months. Earlier work had shown that foetal haemoglobin effectively treated the symptoms of SCD.SCD is a genetic condition in which red blood cells, which should be round, adopt a C-shaped l
21、ook and are sticky. They block blood vessels (血管) and damage organs. Until now the only means of curing SCD involved a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植), which relies on a suitable donor and carries a risk of rejection and death.The new treatment involved harvesting bone marrow stem cells from Ms Gray,
22、who then had chemotherapy (化疗) to kill her bone marrow. The obtained cells were edited using CRISPR-Cas9. It consists of a gene-cutting enzyme (酶), led by instructions to a particular part of a cells DNA. Once it arrives there it locks onto the DNA and removes a part of it, leaving the cell to repai
23、r the damage. It was used to disable a gene that stops foetal haemoglobin being produced. Billions of Ms Grays blood-producing bone marrow cells were treated in this way before being put back into her body.Ciaran Lee of University College Cork said that previous studies involving individual cells ha
24、d been highly promising. “What remains to be seen is whether the stem cells corrected by CRISPR-Cas9 can survive for the lifetime of the patient, providing a permanent cure, or whether the effect is temporary.”28. What can we say about the new treatment?A. It may cause serious symptoms.B. It seems l
25、ess effective than expected.C. It could cure various blood diseases.D. It proves successful at least for now.29. Which of the following was first done during the treatment given to Ms Gray?A. Finding a suitable donor for her.B. Leading the enzyme to a part of a cells DNA.C. Taking bone marrow stem c
26、ells from her.D. Using chemotherapy to kill her bone marrow.30. Why does the treatment require cutting the gene?A. To improve the patients ability to produce blood.B. To make the patients living cells create an enzyme.C. To let the patients body produce foetal haemoglobin.D. To kill the patients C-s
27、haped red blood cells.31. What is Ciaran Lees opinion about the new treatment?A. It will give the patient a permanent cure.B. Its effectiveness needs more examination.C. It requires more research on individual cells.D. Its risk may be higher than traditional treatments.DNoting that my 19-year-old da
28、ughter seemed frustrated with career choices after changing college majors a few times, I did what any good helicopter parent would do: I bought her a career-testing and counseling (咨询) session.Vendors (销售商) of career tests, which assess ones interests and abilities and link them with potential occu
29、pations, see rising demand from teenagers, young adults and their parents. My daughter says her experiencea three-hour assessment of her innate (先天的) aptitudes and abilities, followed by a two-hour interpretive session with a Seattle-area psychologistwas helpful. It enabled her to put the last nail
30、in the coffin (棺) of her decreasing interest in medicine, by showing that most medical careers dont suit her problem-solving style.As a parent, however, dont make the mistake I did: expecting a “Eurekamoment” when the perfect career path unfolds before your child like the yellow brick road. Too many
31、 people believe “you take a test and it tells you what you should do,” says Spencer Niles, a professor of counselor education atPennsylvaniaStateUniversity. “There is no such test.”A good place to begin is a campus career center. Many offer students free or low-cost tests. It is often helpful for yo
32、ung people who say things like, “I dont know myself, I dont know what my skills are, or I have so many options, I cant decide.”For a deeper look, batteries of aptitude tests assess inborn abilities and skills. My daughter took theHighlandsassessment, plus a personality test, with Seattle-area psycho
33、logist Paul Marano. From the skills she exhibited, he saw more than a dozen career possibilities, from design analyst to astronomer.The data was almost overwhelming. But as I listened to Dr. Marano encourage my daughter to speak out her self-doubts, unearth her passions and plan follow-up job shadow

40、y you still enjoy a lot of your work activities, but if thats not the case, it might be time to start considering a new job or career.Set career goals.While you can be successful in your career without setting goals, you can be even more successful after setting them. What are your short-term (withi

71、人与社会历史、社会本文是记叙文。文章介绍了一位名为威廉敏娜弗莱明的苏格兰女性从女佣到杰出天文学家的蜕变过程。24. A。词义猜测题。根据第二段中的with the careless work of his male assistants. Hed said that his“Scotch maid”could do a better job可知，皮克林对哈佛大学天文台所雇用的男性职员在工作中的粗心表现表示恼火。25. D。推理判断题。根据第三段中的the only one at that time with no scientific education . managing and trai
72、ning the women computers可知，虽然弗莱明没有相关的科学教育背景，但她从帮助皮克林做光谱测定开始，到最终不但要对星星进行测量和归类还要负责管理、培训新计算员，这些成绩的取得都说明她学习能力超强，是皮克林的得力助手。26. A。推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知，在弗莱明刚加入皮克林的团队时，哈佛大学天文台之前总共发现了不到200颗变星，而在她开始找星星的10年中，她和她手下的女助手们总共发现了100多颗变星，其中相当大一部分是弗莱明自己独立发现的。而且在1890年出版的第一本关于星体分类的书里，弗莱明总共给10,351颗星星做了仔细分析和归类。由此可见，她“找星星”的能力非
73、同寻常。27. D。写作目的题。通读全文后可知，在被男性一直占领的天文学领域，弗莱明通过自己的不懈努力最终带领女性同胞争得了一席之地，并取得了卓越的成就。因此，本文的目的是介绍这位天文学领域的女性先锋弗莱明。C篇主题语境：人与社会科学与技术本文是说明文。研究发现，CRISPR-Cas9基因编辑技术可以让镰状细胞病及地中海贫血病患者病情得到好转。28.

78、ld like the yellow brick road和There is no such test可知，Spencer Niles认为这种能力测试并不是很多父母认为的那样，并不是说做完测试，孩子的未来职业就走上了成功之路。言外之意就是希望家长们不要将其重要性夸大。注：Eureka moment: the moment when you suddenly understand something important, have a great idea, or find the answer to a problem，意为“顿悟时刻；突发灵感的一刻”，指凡人通过神秘灵感获得重大发现的时刻。据
79、说阿基米德洗澡时福至心灵，想出如何测量皇冠体积的方法，因而惊喜地叫出一声“Eureka”。the yellow brick road：黄砖路，指通向成功或历险的路，在本文中指“成功之路”。该短语源自小说The Wonderful Wizard of Oz（绿野仙踪）。35.

B。由上文中的In denying ourselves the chance to see a situation from different perspectives, we rob ourselves of many wonderful opportunities
84、以及该段中的we may choose a direction . rather than allows us to flourish可知，设空处所在句与上文构成并列关系，意为：选择不“考虑（consider）”一种境况所有可能的后果，我们可能会选择一个实际上“限制（limits）”我们而非让我们发展的方向。43. A。由下文的描述以及give young students with a passion for music the same nurturing in their . growth that I received可知，作者“酷爱（passion）”音乐。44. D。45. C。由
