It's the first time in 55 years that a woman has won this celebrated prize, but why has it taken so long? We look at four other pioneering female scientists — past and present — who had a genuine claim to the prize.Lene HauHau is best­known for leading the research team at Harvard University in 1999 that managed to slow a beam of light, before managing to stop it completely in 2001. Often topping Nobel Prize prediction lists, could 2019 be Hau's year?Chien­Shiung WuChien­Shiung Wu's “Wu experiment” helped disprove the “law of conservation of parity” , a fundamental particle physics law. Her experimental work was instrumental but never honoured, and instead, her male colleagues won the 1957 Nobel Prize for their theoretical work behind the study.Jocelyn Bell BurnellPerhaps the most famous absent treatment: then student Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovered the first radio pulsars (脉冲星) in 1967, when she was a PhD student at Cambridge. The Nobel Prize that recognised this great discovery in 1974, however, went to her male supervisor, Antony Hewish. The award is considered one of the most unfair in the history of the Nobel Prize, so even some people called it “The No Bell Nobel”. Recently awarded a ￡2.3­million Breakthrough Prize, she joked: “I feel I've done very well out of not getting a Nobel Prize.”Lise MeitnerPhysicist Lise Meitner led groundbreaking work on the discovery of nuclear fission (核裂变), the splitting of an atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei (原子核). However, the discovery was acknowledged by the 1944 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which was won by her male co­lead, Otto Hahn.21．Who is always predicted to win the Nobel Prize?A．Lene Hau. B．Chien­Shiung Wu.C．Jocelyn Bell Burnell. D．Lise Meitner.22．In which year was the Nobel Prize called “The No Bell Nobel”？A．1944. B．1957.C．1967. D．1974.23．What is the text mainly about?A．Some unfair Nobel prizes.B．Some women who missed the Nobel Prize.C．The first woman who won the Nobel Prize.D．Some great women physicists in history.BTraditionally, robots have been hard, made of metal and other hard material. But a team of scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed to build an entirely soft robot — one that draws inspiration (灵感) from an octopus (章鱼)．Described in science journal Nature, the “Octobot” could pave the way for more effective autonomous robots that could be used in the search, rescue and exploration. “The Octobot is a minimal system which may serve as a foundation for a new generation of completely soft, autonomous robots，” the study's authors wrote.Robots built for precise, repetitive movements in a controlled environment don't do so well on the rough ground or in unpredictable conditions. And they aren't especially safe around humans because they're made out of hard and heavy parts that could be possibly dangerous to their users.So researchers have been working on building soft robots for several ten years. They've taken inspiration from nature, looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches, which are often made up of more soft matter.But creating a completely soft robot remains a problem. Even if engineers build a silicone (硅酮) body, it's still a big challenge to make soft versions of essential parts, such as a source of power.“Although soft robotics is still in its early stage, it holds great prospects for several applications, such as searches and rescue operations and exploration”， Barbara Mazzolai and Virgilio Mattoli of the Italian Institute of Technology's Center for Micro­BioRobotics wrote. “Soft robots might also open up new ways to improving wellness and the quality of life.”24．What's the special feature of the Octobot?A．It's completely soft.B．It's made of hard metal.C．It's very small.D．It looks like an octopus.25．What's the disadvantage of traditional robots?A．They're hard to control.B．They're too heavy to be moved.C．They can't predict conditions.D．They can't behave well all the time.26．One of the biggest difficulties is to build soft robots' ________.A．silicone body B．complex partsC．precise movements D．soft power source27．What's the possible application of the Octobot?A．Medical research. B．Life rescue.C．Machine operation. D．House cleaning.CMore and more people around the world are living in city areas and the need for high­quality fresh food is rising. At the same time, new homes, apartment buildings, shopping centers and roads are taking the place of rich land near cities. That makes growing crops in tall buildings an interesting solution.In Dallas, Texas, a company called Green Habitat Hydroponics (GHH) sells vertical farming supplies. “You can control anything and everything you want to with hydroponics — the process of growing plants in sand, small stones or water with added nutrients (营养物) but not soil，” Kris Maxwell, a sales employee at GHH said. “For example, certain plants need certain nutrients and pH levels. But don't worry. You can change the hydroponics solutions (溶液) by adding or taking away nutrients, or by changing the PH level, or even by controlling the amount of water in a solution, so that plants get all the nutrients and water requirements they need. There are even different solutions for certain stages in the plants' growth.”In this indoor environment, LED lights, which are environmentally friendly, replace the sun. Heaters, coolers, special machines control the temperature and humidity (湿度). Up to 300 plants can grow in one container unit.GHH also sells aeroponic systems. With this system, plants are placed in huge containers where only the roots are put in a solution. Nutrient­rich wastes from fish, for example, are filtered and sent through the system.The good thing about this method is that no fertilizers have to be used because the fish produce all of the necessary nutrients. Another advantage of vertical farming is that no pests will damage your crops.What do you think? Does vertical farming have a bright future?28．Which of the following may not be the reason for vertical farming?A．The earth has to support more and more people.B．Many people nowadays are flowing into cities.C．People show greater interest in eating fresh food.D．The fields for growing crops near cities are reducing day by day.29．As for vertical farming, what can be used to take the place of the sunshine?A．Heaters.B．Coolers.C．Air conditioning machines.D．Light from a kind of bulb.30．The underlined word “filtered” in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by “________”．A．balanced B．destroyedC．removed D．created31．What is the advantage of aeroponic systems used in vertical farming?A．They may bring about a good harvest.B．There is no need for chemical nutrients.C．People can get delicious food.D．They can save energy.DYou carry 1.3 kg fatty material in your head that controls everything you will ever do. This fantastic control center lets you think, learn, create, and feel emotions. It also controls everything your body does. What is this amazing machine? It's your brain — a structure so amazing that the famous scientist James Watson called it “the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe”． Imagine your cat jumped onto the kitchen counter, and was about to step onto a hot stove. You would have only few seconds to act. In situations like this, your brain reads the signals from your eyes and quickly calculates when, where and at what speed you need to run to save her. Then it tells your muscles to move. No computer can match your brain's great ability to download, process, and react to the flood of information from your eyes, ears and other sensory organs. If a bee lands on your foot, sensory neurons (感觉神经元) in your skin send this information to your brain at a speed of more than 240 kilometers per hour. Your brain then uses motor neurons (运动神经元) to send a message back to your foot: Shake the bee off quickly! Motor neurons can send this information at more than 320 kilometers per hour!Your brain has about 100 billion tiny cells: neurons — it would take you more than 3,000 years if you tried to count them all. Whenever you dream, laugh, think, see or move, tiny chemical and electrical signals are racing between these neurons along billions of tiny neuron pathways. Believe it or not, the activity in your brain never stops. Countless messages fly around inside it every second, like a super­fast game of table tennis. Your neurons create and send more messages than all the phones in the entire world. And although a single neuron produces only a tiny amount of electricity, all your neurons together can produce enough electricity to power a light bulb.32．What does “the most complex thing” mean?A．A supercomputer. B．Human brains.C．The universe. D．Our emotions.33．What can we know from the passage?A．Brains can download more information than any computer.B．The cat plays an important role in testing human brain power.C．Motor neurons in human brains serve to send messages.D．Your brains can use neurons to send messages back faster than bees'.34．The author mentions “to power a light bulb” in Para. 4 to show ________.A．neurons can create lots of messagesB．how many active tiny cells the brain haveC．how much electricity the brain can produceD．there is countless information in the brain35．What is the main idea of the passage?A．The powerful brain is a wonderful machine.B．Brains work well in controlling body movements.C．The brain is the most complex structure in the universe.D．Human brains are made up of numerous neurons.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Do you remember those times when your mother told you to avoid talking to strangers?

Kwarteng, who led the new study.Kwarteng and her co­workers studied 919 adults in poor and middle­class neighborhoods in Detroit, asking them how much they exercised and how often. The researchers also walked around the neighborhoods and studied the condition of sidewalks and streets.According to the results, people who lived near more uneven (不平坦的) sidewalks would be less active. That was especially the case for younger people. “We found that better sidewalk condition was associated with increases in physical activity among women and men，” Kwarteng said.Kwarteng said although it's possible that sidewalk condition affects how much time people spend outside being active, it's only one way. “Another reason for the result is that people hating physical activity choose to live in neighborhoods that are run­down (破旧的)，” Kwarteng said. “Maybe that's because it's less expensive to live there.”Following a neighborhood over a long time and seeing if activity levels change with sidewalk condition would be a better way of understanding how much effect the sidewalks have. “This study makes sure an association between sidewalk condition and physical activity，” Kwarteng said. “Further studies should try to explain why this is.”Most homeowners with the freedom to choose between neighborhoods will probably pick the one in better condition. “Good living environments should be available to all people，” Kwarteng said. “Cities should implement (贯彻) policies that keep sidewalks in good condition to increase physical activity among people.”________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________单元质量检测(三)第一部分答案：1－5　BCBAC　6－10　CABCB11－15　ABCBA　16－20　BACBC听力材料(Text 1)W：Here is your money order.

Now, let's take a look at some of them.Exit is an award­winning summer music festival. It is held in the city of Novi Sad, Serbia, every year. Exit is special in the festival world, because it started as a student movement fighting for peace in Serbia.Tomorrow Land is the largest electronic music festival in the world. It is held in a small town in Belgium. Every year the festival organizers spend a long time decorating the stages. For example, in 2011, Tomorrow Land took on an “Alice in Wonderland” theme for its main stage.
