9、iverse.Born in a small town near Shanghai, Wu attended a school started by her father, who believed in education for girls, despite it being an uncommon belief at that time. She went on to study physics at Nanjing University, where she first pursued mathematics but quickly switched her major to phys
10、ics, inspired by Marie Curie. And in 1936, she moved to the United States, where she pursued doctors degree in physics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1940. Then, she taught briefly at Smith College before being hired as Princeton Universitys first female instructor.A year later, Dr.
11、Wu accepted a post at Columbia University, where she became involved in the Manhattan Project, designing and building the worlds first atomic bombs. She held various positions with the university until her retirement in 1981, but is best known for her experiments on beta decay(衰变) in 1957. Dr. Wus g
12、roundbreaking experiments proved Drs. Tsung- Dao Lee and Chen Ning Yangs theory right. This resulted in Lee and Yang receiving the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics for their theory, while Dr. Wus experimental proof of the theory was overlooked.In her later life, Dr. Wu devoted much of her time to educati
13、onal programs, promoting girls in the STEM fields both in the US and in China. Her motivational story made her a hero for many young women scientists, just as her name “Chien-Shiung” implies. She was so great that she was elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1958, and in 1990,

Which words can best describe Dr. Wu?A. Enthusiastic and considerate.B. Pioneering and inspiring.C. Creative but controversial.D.
17、 Well-educated but uninfluential.C“W hen people talk, listen completely.” Those words of Ernest Hemingway might be a pretty good guiding principle for many people.Some firms use a technique known as a “listening circle” in which participants are encouraged to talk openly and honestly about the issue
18、s they face (such as problems with colleagues). In such a circle, only one person can talk at a time and there is no interruption. A study cited in the Harvard Business Review found that employees who had taken part in a listening circle suffered less social anxiety and had fewer worries about work-
19、related matters than those who did not afterwards.Listening has been critical to the career of Richard Mullender, who was a British police officer for 30 years. Eventually he became a negotiator. When he left the force, he realised that his skills might be applicable in the business world. So he set
20、 up a firm called the Listening Institute. Mr Mullender defines listening as “the identification, selection and interpretation of the key words that turn information into intelligence. It is crucial to all effective communication.Plenty of people think that good listening is about nodding your head
21、or keeping eye contact. But that is not really listening, Mr Mullender argues. A good listener is always looking for facts, emotions and indications of the speakers values. Another important point to bear in mind is that, when you talk, you are not listening. “Every time you share an opinion, you gi
22、ve out information about yourself, Mr Mullender says.The lockdown has increased the need for managers to listen to workers, since the opportunities for casual conversation have dwindled. Mr Mullender thinks that many people have become depressed in their isolation (隔离),which can lead to stress and a
23、nger. He thinks there may be a business opportunity in helping managers listen more efficiently, so they can enhance employee well-being. After a year of isolation, many workers would probably love the chance to be heard.8. What is the value of attending a “listening circle?A. Employees can relieve
24、stress.B. Managers give comfort to colleagues.C. Employees may become more honest.D. Managers can solve technology problems.9. According to Mr Muilender, the key to being a good listener is _.A. talking with speakers B. keeping eyes communicationC. giving out your informationD. focusing on the analy

26、he Listening Principle for ManagersDRobots have rolled into retail(零售), from free-moving machines in Giant Foods Stores to autonomous shelf-scanners in Walmart. They free up workers from routine tasks, but thats only the beginning.The real benefit of retail robots is the opportunity to capture more
27、data about the products on the shelves and customer buying patterns, which can increase efficiency and accuracy in stock management. The key is using retail robots as data-collectors within an internet-of-things (IoT), which creates an intelligent digital ecosystem by combining a complex network of
28、connected devices, objects, and sensors gathering data. With robots in stores, retailers already have the beginnings of IoT solution. For example, Auchan Retail Portugal is launching autonomous shelf-monitoring technology in its supermarkets. As the robots move around the stores, they capture photos
29、 of every shelf, which are then put into digital form and turned into analysis about out-of-stock goods.Such detailed data is incredibly valuable in retail. For traditional retailers, however, merely tracking what consumers purchase does not paint the entire picture. The real competitive advantage f
30、or retailers comes in knowing what they couldnt purchase but wanted to. Thats where robots come in.In the not-too-distant future, robots may be able to do more than those. Consider a retail robot scanning grocery store and detecting that supplies of sugar-free peanut butter are decreasing at twice t
31、he rate of regular peanut butter. That real-time discovery then activates an automated(自动的) order for more sugar-free peanut butter to be sent to a specific store.As product cycles speed up, retailers will need to become even faster in identifying micro-trends in consumer behavior to produce, distri
32、bute, and supply the goods and services that customers want right now. The key to it may be a robot walking around freely, bringing data from the consumer into the data management system in the cloud.12. The retail robots are mainly used toA. distribute tasks to workersB. collect sales informationC.
33、 take pictures of customersD. analyze digital signals 13. How do the retail robots help improve stock managing? A. By tracking purchasing trends.B. By monitoring the workers.C. By changing information into analysis.D. By creating an intelligent ecosystem.14. What does the underlined words “paint the
34、 entire picture” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Draw the whole picture.B. Capture all data needed.C. Provide all necessary information.D. Imagine everything might happen. 15. What might be like after using retail robots in the future?A. The product circles will speed up.B. Companies will produce more goods.
35、C. Customers can access data in the cloud.D. Stock management will become automatic.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Sleep disorders and insufficient sleeping hours have become more distinct in recent years.
