Do you still remember the lecture from China’s Tiangong space station last year? On March 23, astronaut Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping ang Ye Guangfu gave another one! It was livestream（直播）worldwide. What fun experiments did they do this time?
Hot “ice”
Last time, the astronauts made a water ball in space. This time, they turned a water ball into an “ice” ball! Well, it’s not a 36 ice. It’s supersaturated sodium acetate solution（过饱和乙酸钠溶液）.
The supersaturated solution is very unstable（不稳定的）. The astronauts dropped a small crystal（晶体）of sodium acetate into the ball-shaped solution. Suddenly, more sodium acetate crystals grew, making a white ball of “ice”. This “ice” is anything but cold, however. The p 37 actually gives off heat.
A bridge of water
How do you build a “bridge” with water? It’s h 38 to do it on Earth. But in the space station, with little gravity, it’s quite easy!
In the lecture, Wang Yaping first made two water balls on two plates, then let them touch each other. Next, Wang p 39 the two plates apart, and the water between them didn’t break. It became a “bridge”! This is because the surface tension（表面张力）of water is not disturbed by gravity in space. The surface tension keeps the “skin” of the water strong so that the bridge doesn’t break.
Separate water and oil
If we m 40 oil and water in a bottle on Earth, they will quickly separate because they have different densities（密度）. Gravity brings the water down while the oil stays on top. H 41 , if you do this in the space station, with no gravity, the oil and water will blend together.
How can we separate them, then? In the lecture, Ye Guangfu rotated（旋转）the bottle to c 42 centrifugal force（离心力）. With this man-made gravity, the heavier water is pushed to the furthest point, which brings the lightest oil closer to the center.

Mary Anning: The Fossil Hunter
As a fossil（化石）scientist, Mary Anning (1700—1847) made great contributions（贡献）to her field in the 19th century. Her name is now widely known in Britain and even Europe. But that was not always the case.
Anning was a talented woman. She was born in a poor family in Lyme Regis, Britain. She did not receive any proper education and had to teach h 53 geology（地质学）and paleontology（古生物学）.
Anning grew up by the sea. At a young age, she showed great interest in studying the fossils along the coastline. Anning worked very hard. She went out in all weathers to search for fossils. At the age of 12, she uncovered a skeleton that looked like a crocodile. Then, after ten years of tireless e 54 , she made an amazing discovery. It was a huge fossil of something that the world had never seen before.
However, many of Anning’s findings d 55 with the widely accepted theories（理论）at that time. So most of the scientists didn’t believe or recognize the value of her findings. What’s more, in that period, people s 56 respected women. Anning’s findings were even published without her name. During her lifetime, the woman was never s 57 considered to be a scientist.
But such troubles didn’t stop Anning from making more discoveries. The woman was still keen on studying v 58 sizes and types of fossils alongside the sea. Some of them were as large as a huge rock while others were smaller than an egg. Until 1829, she carefully uncovered a skeleton of a fossil fish which made her known among first-class scientists. Her discoveries helped to study some extinct（已灭绝的）animals. They formed the basis for Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species（《物种起源》）.
In recent years, more and more people have come to realize the importance of Anning’s work. She is now listed among the top ten British women who have greatly a 59 the history of science. Anning was an ambitious and hard-working woman in history. She deserves to be remembered.

【导语】本文介绍了英国女性科学家化石猎人玛丽·安宁的科学研究经历。
53．句意：她没有接受任何真正的教育，只能自学地质学和古生物学。根据“She did not receive any proper education”可知，她没有接受任何真正的教育，因此她只能自学。teach oneself sth意为“自学某物”，主语为She，首字母为h，因此应填入反身代词herself。故填(h)erself。
54．句意：然后，经过十年的不懈探索，她有了一个惊人的发现。根据上文“She went out in all weathers to search for fossils. At the age of 12, she uncovered a skeleton that looked like a crocodile.”和首字母e可知，“寻找化石”和“发现像鳄鱼的骨架”都是安宁在探索，形容词tireless应是修饰名词exploration“探索”，此处应用其复数形式explorations。故填(e)xplorations。
55．句意：然而，安宁的许多发现与当时被广泛接受的理论不同。根据下一句“So most of the scientists didn’t believe or recognize the value of her findings.”可知，大多数科学家不相信或不认可她的发现的价值，说明她的发现与当时的科学家们的理论不同，根据“from”和首字母d，可知动词短语differ from表示“与……不同”，该句应用一般过去时，动词differ的过去式为differed。故填(d)iffered。
56．句意：而且，在那个时期，人们极少尊重女性。根据下一句“Anning’s findings were even published without her name.”和首字母s，可知她的发现甚至没有被冠上她的名字就被发布，说明此处应用频度副词seldom来表示当时人们对女性的不尊重。故填(s)eldom。
57．句意：在她的一生中，这位女士从未被认真地认为是一位科学家。根据上文“What’s more, in that period, people…respected women. Anning’s findings were even published without her name.”可知，在她所在的时代，女性不被尊重，女性的科学研究不被认可，由此可知，她也从未被认真地认为是一位科学家。结合首字母s，此处应用副词seriously修饰动词considered。故填(s)eriously。
58．句意：这位女士仍然热衷于研究海边各种大小和类型的化石。根据“studying...sizes and types of fossils”及首字母v可知，此处指研究各种大小和类型的化石，应用形容词various“各种各样的”来修饰名词sizes and types of fossils。故填(v)arious。
