On the one hand, I feel lucky to be able to provide a service that may have a positive health effect on the residents. But, on the other hand, I feel a sense of sadness and disappointment as I see the prisoners being escorted（押送）by guards to the nursing unit.‎ ‎ My last visit was very memorable. For some reason, there was a lightness in the air.‎ More than ever before, I felt a lightness as I spoke with each person. We shared stories and smiles and fears. Even the toughest prisoners seemed to be surrounded by light. As a mother,‎ I saw them as not only youth, being punished for crimes, but also as children who have the potential to change for the better. Most of them wanted to talk longer! They were reaching out to us! It felt right.‎ There was one more prisoner. He was limited to a different unit in a lonely cell. We were asked if we were okay going down there. We said that we were. Two guards escorted us down and when we entered the area, instant tears welled up in my eyes. The area was sad. These guards didn't smile. We entered the cell and had to make do with what was there We were done but I didn't want to leave. I gave the 17 year old a gentle touch and smile as I explained what to do regarding the side effects. At first there was no response, so I just looked down at his bare feet and then to my supplies. I thought that I had better pack up Suddenly, he looked up at me and smiled before he said "Thanks" and then he gave me a thumbs-up. I smiled back and said, "You're welcome. Take care of yourself."‎ It was wonderful to receive a kind response from someone who was in such a harsh place. As we walked back to the main entrance, we didn't speak. Where there can be a smile,‎ there is hope. Sometimes smiles can be very powerful ‎24. What can we know about the young in the young criminal center A.

While the toy's release met with strong public reaction, this underlying assumption persists, spreading the myth that women do not thrive in science, technology,engineering and mathematic (STEM) fields due to biological inadequacies in math aptitude.‎ ‎ However, in 2019 Jessica Cantlon at Carnegie‎ Mellon ‎University led a research team that comprehensively examined the brain development of young boys and girls and found no gender difference in brain function or math ability.‎ ‎ Cantlon and her team conducted the first neuroimaging study to evaluate biological gender ‎ differences in math aptitude of young children. Her team used functional MRI【核磁共振）to measure the brain activity in 104 young children (3-to-lO-year-old; 55 girls) while watching an educational video covering early math topics, like counting and addition. The researchers compared scans from the boys and girls to evaluate brain similarity. In addition,the team examined brain maturity by comparing the children's scans to those taken from a group of adults (63 adults; 25 women) who watched the same math videos.After numerous statistical comparisons, Cantlon and her team found no difference in the brain development of girls and boys. In addition, the researchers found no difference in how boys and girls processed math skills and were equally engaged while watching the educational videos. Finally, boys' and girls' brain maturity were statistically equivalent when compared to either men or women in the adult group. Cantlon said she thinks society and culture are likely steering girls and young women away from math and STEM fields, as previous studies show that families spend more time with young boys in play that involves spatial cognition (空间认知)．"Typical socialization can make worse small differences between boys and girls that can snowball into how we treat them in science and math," Cantlon said. "We need to be aware of these origins to ensure we aren′t the ones causing the gender inequities." However, this project is focused on early childhood development using a limited set of math tasks. Cantlon wants to continue this work using a broader scope of math skills, such asspatial processing and memory, and follow the children over many years ‎28. What can we infer about the toy's release?‎ A. It has raised a storm of applause B . Girls perform no worse than boys in math C. Math is a subject difficuit to every one ofus D .Women are born with insufficient math abilities ‎29.What can we learn from the study conducted by Cantlon?‎ A.Boys process math skills more quickly than girls B .Boys and girls have similar brain in math abilities C.Boys and girls have similar interest in math D . Adults have better brain than children in math ‎30. What will Cantlon most likely agree with?‎ ‎ A. Parents should lengthen the time spent with girls.‎ ‎ B . Society is causing a greater gender difference in math abilities.‎ ‎ C . Culture plays a leading role in children's brain development.‎ ‎ D. We should cultivate boys' and girls' math abilities equally.‎ ‎31 . How will Cantlon further her research?‎ ‎ A. By using a wider range of math skills.‎ ‎ B . By involving a broader scope of subj ects.‎ ‎ C. By increasing the complexity of math tasks.‎ ‎ D . By following the children until their adulthood.‎ D Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde has spent much of his time seeking artistic solutions (解决方案) to solve our environmental problems. His past projects include "Bioluminescent (生物发光) Trees" to light streets, a "Smog-Free Tower" to clean Beijing's polluted air, and"Gates of Light". which uses the headlamps of passing cars to light up the 60 floodgates of the Afsluitdijk, a major dam in the Netherlands. Now, he is hoping to use his skills to solve a pressing global problem-space ‎ junk!Scientists guess that there are over 500,000 bits of large rubbish. To deal with the problem, Roosegaarde intends to achieve his goal by educating the public about the need of the situation and coming up with possible solutions. The plan, called the Space Waste Lab,started in October 2018 with a laser(激光) show in the Netherlands. The unique outdoor artwork of LEDs used real-time tracking information to point at pieces of space junk floating at altitudes of 200 to 20,000 kilometers. The experience was designed to make the public know more about how much space junk there are To find a solution, the designer has been thinking with experts. One of the proj ects being considered is "Shooting Stars", which attempts to reintroduce the trash to the atmosphere in a controlled way. Upon reentry, the waste would burn in the atmosphere like a shooting star Roosegaarde envisageS that if successful, buming space trash could someday replace fireworks at large public events In September 2018, the RemoveDEBRIS satellite successfully sent a net to catch a target while orbiting at an altitude of about 300 kilometers (190 miles) . Sometime this year,the capsule will set free a harpoon that has been designed to remove space trash. At the end of its task, RemoveDEBRIS will let go a sail to bring the satellite itself, and, hopefully some trash, back into the atmosphere, where it will burn up ‎32. What can we infer about Daan Roosegaarde?‎ A. He is too aggressive to put forward good plans B .

What does the underlined word "envisage" in paragraph 3 probably mean?‎ ‎ A. Suspect. B. Demand. C. Advise D. Imagine ‎35. Whatis the function ofa sail?‎ A. Bringing the satellite to atmosphere to burn.‎ ‎ B Keeping trash traveling along its own orbit.‎ ‎ C. Taking the satellite away from atmosphere.‎ ‎ D. Removing space trash out of the capsule.‎ 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。‎ Live Every Day Like It's A Holiday We feel great on holiday because we let go of everyday stresses and strains36 So whether or not you're going away this summer, there's plenty you can do to make sure you benefit from that holiday feeling ‎ Sleep like a holidaymaker ‎ Sleep like a baby when you're on your holidays but stay awake when you're in yourusual routine? 37To reset your sleep pattern, avoid bringing problems to bed.
