7、n in 1925, who was celebrated as a pioneer for female scientists and had advanced the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope, died on Dec. 25, 2018. When Nancy Roman asked for permission to take a second algebra (代数) course in high school, a teacher demanded to know “what lady would take mathematics i
8、nstead of Latin”. In college, a professor admitted that he often tried to prevent women from majoring in physics but Nancy stuck to it. And after receiving Doctors degree in astronomy, she found a professional home at NASA (美国宇航局). In 1959, Dr. Roman became the first chief of astronomy at NASA headq
9、uarters, a role that made her one of the agencys first female leaders.Dr Roman spent much of her career helping develop, fund and promote technology that would help scientists see more clearly beyond Earths atmosphere. But her most wellknown work was perhaps leading to design the Hubble Space Telesc
10、ope, the first major telescope to be sent into space for the purpose of gathering photographs and data from the universe. She was, therefore, named as “the mother of Hubble”. “She made it possible to get the early telescope up into space to learn what needed to be learned,” said science historian Bo
11、b Zimmerman, “and her hardnosed nature helped get the telescope built.”The telescope did not launch until 1990, a little more than a decade after Dr Roman retired, but when it did, its photographs of the universe thrilled the world. “I am glad，” she once told Science, “I ignored the people who told

BThe teacher didnt care about it. CThe teacher accepted it at once. DThe teacher was strongly against it.5What was the most

CShe was delighted to have become an astronomer in spite of the prejudice on her. DShe had hardnosed nature and
15、 never cared about other peoples opinions.CEach of Apples products such as the iPhone and the iPad sounds cool and has become a fashion. Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter i, and many other brands are following suit. The BBC iPlayer, which allows Web users to watch TV prog
16、rams on the Internet, used the title in 2008. A lovely bearpopular in the US and the UKthat plays music and video is called iTeddy. A simplified version of The Independent was launched in 2010 under the name i. In general, single-letter prefixes（前缀）have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such
17、as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use. Most “i” products are aimed at young people and considering the major readers of The Independents sister paper “I”, its no surprise that theyve selected this fashionable name. But its hard to see whats so special about the letter i. Why not use a, b, or
18、c instead? According to Tony Thorne, former Director of the Language Centre at Kings College London, i works because its meaning has become unclear. When Apple uses i, no one knows whether it means the Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. Even when Apple creat
19、ed the iPad, it seems it didnt have one clear definition, he said. However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability（轻便）, added Thorne.Clearly the letter i also agrees with the idea that the Western world is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own need
20、s, and they love personalized products for this reason. Along with Google and blog, readers of BBC Magazines voted i as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade. But as history shows, people grow tired of fashion. From the 1900s to the 1990s products with 2000in their names b
21、ecame fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the trend unavoidably disappeared. 8. Why do people use iPlayer?A. To listen to music. B. To make a call. C. To watch TV programs online. D. To read newspapers.9. What is The Inde
22、pendents sister paper i aimed at?A. Engineers. B. Young readers. C. Fashionable women. D. Old readers. 10. Nowadays，the term i often makes people think of the products which are_.A. easy to carry B. environmentally friendly C. advanced D. personalized11. What is implied in the last paragraph?A. i pr
23、oducts are often of high quality. B. Actually nobody likes products with 2000. C. Fashion is closely connected with time. D. The popularity of i products may not last long. DWhat is art? Thats an easy question to answer. Art is a painting, a drawing or a sculpture. Now there are new items to add to
24、the list. Art is a dead shark in a glass case. Art is an unmade bed. Art is a video of a group of people standing completely still for sixty minutes. A new group of young artists began to produce work that challenged the accepted idea of what art is and the role the artist should play in society. Th
25、is group came to be known as the YBAsthe Young British Artists. The art of the YBAs does not just stick to painting and sculpture. It uses all kinds of different materials to express the feeling of the artist. Damien Hirst is the most famous of the YBAs. The shark in the box is his work and is meant
26、 to express his own fear of dying. The shark stands for death. Right now, it is harmless. But eventually it will come for you. There is nothing to be done about it. Traditionally, artists have a message. They use their skills to lead us to enlightenment (启迪). The message of the YBAs is that they can
27、not do this. They are just as mixed up and confused as everybody else. A journalist once asked Damien Hirst what his next idea was for an artwork. “I dont know what Im going to do next. I never know what Im going to do next,” he replied. Another YBA, Tracy Emin recently produced a work called “Bed”.
28、 This is just her own bed with the sheets disarranged and dirty. And the message? “Look at meIm a mess.” Some artists work with the public in producing their work. Gillian Wearing filmed a group of people dressed as policemen trying to keep still for 60 minutes while standing on top of a table. At t
29、he end of that time, the table falls apart and everyone falls to the floor. You can try to be a good citizen and a respectable member of the community. But dont try too hard or the pressure will be too much. Art mirrors the state of society. In the work of the YBAs we can see a society on the thresh
30、old (开端) of the futurea bit worried, a bit excited and wondering what is going to happen next. The YBAs cant guide us, but they can make the journey more interesting.12. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The shark.B. Death.C. Damiens artwork.D. Damiens fear of dying.13. W
31、hat can be inferred from Tracys work “Bed”？A. She needs to be taken care of. B. She sees the world as a dirty one.C. She compares herself to the bed. D. She hopes for better living conditions.14. Which of the following refers to a person who tries too hard in Gillians work?A. The table. B. The floor
32、. C. 60 minutes. D. The people dressed as policemen.15. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To explain what the work of the YBAs is like.B. To show the YBAs have made a great difference in art.C. To describe the YBAs as artists full of imagination.D. To show how the YBAs form ideas for their wor
