However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.‎ Born in September, 1987, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.‎ Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities（设备）to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgrum. Her services were recognized in the form of a Military’s Medal by the French government.‎ ‎ In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.‎ Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity（辐射能). Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.‎ ‎4.Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal?‎ A. Because she received a degree in mathematics.‎ B.

In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).‎ ‎ In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations – UNESCO and National Geographic among them –have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.‎ ‎ Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes (专门研究) in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas , is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working and raising a family in a village in Nepal.‎ ‎ Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan,and China.But he is not content tosimply record these voices before they disappear without record.‎ ‎ At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials- including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes- which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.‎ ‎ Now, through the two organizations that he has founded-the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project- Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected.Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes,the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.‎ ‎7.Many scholars are making efforts to _____.‎ A. promote global languagesB. rescue disappearing languages C. search for language communitiesD. set up language research organizations.‎ ‎8.What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A.

The cultural studies in India.B. The documents available at Yale.‎ C. His language research in Bhutan.D. His personal experience in Nepal.‎ ‎10.Which of the following best describes Turin’s work?‎ A. Write, sell and donate.B. Record, repair and reward.‎ C. Collect, protect and reconnect.D. Design, experiment and report.‎ D In its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, horses, and carts got stuck. An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this: A man is stuck up to his waist(腰) in a muddy Chicago street. Asked if he needs help, he replies, "No, thanks. I've got a good horse under me."‎ The city planner decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system, but there simply wasn't enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level. The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.‎ An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced me the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12 feet.‎ This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago. Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and the second stories into main floors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level. Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy structures like Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick building That's where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skills successfully. To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤顶) beneath the building's foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullman's signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly. Astonishingly, the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation, and many of its guests didn't even notice anything was happening. ‎ Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago's early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicago's waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the city's next step was to clean the polluted river.‎ ‎11.The author mentions the joke to show ______.‎ A. horses were fairly useful in Chicago B. Chicago's streets were extremely muddy C. Chicago was very dangerous in the spring D. the Chicago people were particularly humorous ‎12.The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to_______.‎ A. get rid of the street dirt B. lower the Chicago River C. fight against heavy floodsD. build the pipes above ground ‎13.The underlined word "hoist" in Paragraph 4 means "_______".‎ A. change B. lift C. repair D. decorate ‎14.What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?‎ A. It went on smoothly as intended.‎ B. It interrupted the business of the hotel.‎ C. It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews.‎ D. It separated the building from its foundation.‎ ‎15.The passage is mainly about the early Chicago's ______.‎ A. popular life styles and their influences B. environmental disasters and their causes C. engineering problems and their solutions D. successful businessmen and their achievements 第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。‎ Kids' health: Four steps for fighting stress Everybody gets stressed time to time. 16 Some ways of dealing with stress -like screaming or hitting someone一don't solve (解决) much.
