Anna BissellAlthough it was her husband who invented the carpet-sweeping machine in 1876 and founded Bissell, Anna Bissell became the CEO of the company in 1889, making her the first female CEO in America. After her husband's 信息卷英语（四）第 2 页（共 8 页） death, she traveled around the country selling sweepers and making deals with major retailers to carry the Bissell brand.

Junko Tabei Twenty-two years after the first-ever successful mission to the top of Mount Qomolangma, the Japanese mountaineer Junko Tabei became the first woman to reach the peak. She reached the summit on May 16, 1975. In 1992, she also became the first woman to reach the Seven Summits. With a five-foot stature and a weight of only 92 pounds, Tabei broke stereotypes（刻板印象）about how a strong, athletic person could look. Gertrude Ederle The Queen of Waves, who happened to be deaf, was the first woman to swim across the English Channel. And not only did the International Swimming Hall of Fame finish one of the world’s most difficult long-distance swims, she set a record doing it in 1911. Fighting through cold temperatures and strong tides, she clocked a time of 14 hours and 34 minutes. Virginia Apgar Generations of parents owe this American doctor a huge thank you, as she developed the Apgar Score, the first standardized system of tests to assess if newborn babies were healthy once they made their way from womb to world.

But when you do what you love for a living and know that you're making a difference, every day is filled with purpose. Over the Veteran's Day break, Turlock High School English teacher Jared Jeffries visited a family where he overheard a relative, Uncle Will, told his 16-year-old niece that nobody loves their jobs and that we do the things that really matter after work. Jared couldn't disagree more. So Jared Jeffries shared his wise words on Facebook for anyone who needs a little inspiration this school year. “I’ve often called teaching the ‘ impossible job' 一 to do it perfectly is to understand the unique needs of about 30 different students in a 45-minute period and to meet those individual needs. Every new year is an opportunity to reflect and improve 一 to inch closer to the impossible task to teach every kid every day. I think that's why Uncle Will has no passion 一 his job is entirely too possible. The goals are too easily attainable and the risks too small and the rewards a reflection. You will want to quit, at times, because your job is impossible. And because your job is impossible, at times, you will never want to quit. You can love your job. The excitement never has to wear off. The purpose of work is that you can do things that really matter. ” Jared's message resonated（共鸣）with hundreds, many of whom are teachers themselves. The idea was clear: to find meaning in life, we must create it. And that comes from pushing ourselves to achieve the impossible because we'll never stop striving for greatness. Let's all follow his lead and build passion and purpose in every single part of our lives. 24. What caused Jared Jeffries to post the words on Facebook? A. His dissatisfaction with his job. B. The confusion of a 16-year-old girl. C. His opposition to Uncle Will's opinion. D. The appeal from someone who needs encouragement. 25. How does Jared Jeffries introduce his opinion? A. By using data. B. By making comparisons. C. By listing examples. D. By giving explanations. 26. Which of the following can best describe Jared Jeffries? A. Inspiring. B. Considerate. C. Determined. D. Stubborn. 27. What is the author s purpose of writing the text? A. To call on students to be teachers. B. To inspire people to be passionate. C. To tell people Jared's work experience. D. To recommend ways to guarantee success to people. C Back in April 1939 and armed with a $ 5,000 grant supplied by the Rockefeller Foundation, Columbia University Teachers College professor Frank Cyr took a tour of ten states to assess the extent of school transportation issues. What he found proved that student transportation was in a sorry state. Many students had no dependable way to get to school and the ones who did often traveled in unsafe, unstandardized buses in the over 100 ,000 school districts that existed back then （ contrast with the roughly 13,000 that exist today）. One of the huge variations （变化）in school transportation that he saw is the bus color, which is yellow now. Seeing a need to fix this system, Cyr organized a conference——one that would change the future of school buses forever. School officials and transportation specialists met to set much-needed standards for buses, including those for color, height, and width as well as safety rules that hadn't previously been set or that varied by state. There were many different bus colors in the United States before this conference ； several districts even planned to have red, white, and blue buses as a way of promoting patriotism（爱国主义）among students. Cyr presented his new options to education officials, a reported “50 shades ranging from lemon yellow to deep orange-red”. The matter was settled quickly. Yellow was chosen for its high visibility and the way it emphasized the bold, black writing that would be on the side of each bus to denote its respective school district. This yellow color is an important factor for vehicles that travel during early morning and late afternoon hours. Thirty-five states made the changes promptly, and every state was on board by 1974. Known as the “father of the yellow school bus ”，Frank Cyr s legacy has definitely affected your life if you ever took a school bus or saw that familiar color pulling up to your stop on a dusky morning. 28. What did Cyr find in the tour of ten states in 1939? A. No one cared about student transportation. B. One of the states had terrible transportation. C. Bus color had no effect on the school bus safety. D. School bus safety then was much terrible. 29. Why did Cyr organize a conference ? A. To revise some safety regulations. B. To improve safety of student transportation. C. To remind students to take safe transportation. D. To appeal to schools to use official school buses. 30. What does the underlined word “denote” in the third paragraph probably mean? A. Decorate. B. Conduct. C. Prohibit. D. Indicate. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. Why School Buses Are Always Yellow B. Why Yellow School Buses Are the Safest C. How Cyr Makes School Bus Safety Rules D. How We Should Improve School Bus Safety D Like most people, you have probably lost count of the number of perfectly pristine-looking shoes you have thrown away because the rubber soles （鞋底）are cracked. In addition to the expense, it is also harmful to our environment. Now, thanks to a revolutionary self-healing 3-D printed rubber material, cracked shoe soles may be a thing of the past. The magical polymer（聚合物，多聚体）is the brainchild of researchers at the University of Southern California （USC） and the University of Connecticut （ UConn） . The team, led by USC Assistant Professor Qiming Wang, created it through a process called photopolymerization （光聚合作用），which uses light to solidify the liquid used to create 3-D printed plastic. The researchers found that adding the right proportion of oxidant（氧化剂) to the liquid allowed the 3-D polymer to heal without slowing down the hardening process. “When we gradually increase the oxidant, the self-healing behavior becomes stronger, but the photopolymerization behavior becomes weaker,” explained Wang. " There is competition between these two behaviors. And eventually, we found the ratio that can enable both high self-healing and relatively rapid photopolymerization. ” The team, who published their findings in the journal NPG Asia Materials on February 1st, 2019, state that the repair time can be reduced by increasing the room temperature. “ If you just put a broken shoe on a bench at room temperature, the rubber will heal itself in six to eight hours,” Wang said. “If you apply heat, at maybe 60°C, that accelerates the healing process to about two hours. ”Given the material's tremendous potential, it is not surprising to hear that Wang and his team have been approached by several shoe manufacturers （制造商）eager to be the first to use the technology, which is still in the early stages. Once perfected, the scientists also hope to apply the technique to hard plastics that can be used to create self-healing toys, electronics, vehicle parts, and, if Wang has his way, even tires. 32. How do the researchers make 3-D printed plastic self-heal? A. By changing the proportion of light used. B. By raising the temperature at which it is used. C. By increasing the hardening speed of the liquid. D. By adding the proper amount of oxidant to the liquid. 33. What can we infer from Qiming Wang? A. The more oxidant added, the faster the healing process becomes. B. The concentration of the liquid contributes to self-healing. C. The surrounding temperature determines the speed of healing. D. There is cooperation between self-healing and photopolymerization. 34. What is shoe manufacturers' attitude to the revolutionary material? A. Interested. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Doubtful. 35. Where is this text most likely from? A. A science magazine. B. An advertisement for shoes. C. An instruction about 3-D printing. D. A report on environmental protection. 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。 People seeking a fast solution to weight loss are often willing to try any options, from special tea to a spoonful of apple vinegar every day. 36 . A study in Journal of Endocrinology & Metabolism found that black seed oil causes gradual partial rebirth of pancreatic （胰腺的）beta-cells, increases the lowered serum insulin （胰岛素）concentrations, and decreases the raised serum glucose（葡萄糖）.37 ____ Black seed oil is available as an oil or a liquid supplement at many health food or vitamin stores. As with most supplements, the Food and Drug Administration （ FDA） does not regulate the production of black seed oil. 38 . The FDA can then regulate the product if they find it makes claims that aren't true or perhaps don't meet the safety standards. In short, you can't know you're getting genuine black seed oil unless you're buying from a reputable brand. 39 ________You can take 500mg twice a day, and research shows you're unlikely to experience side effects. It may even be safe to take as much as two grams in a day, but for the best results, start with a small dose （剂 量） and increase as you find you can tolerate it. 40 Some of the active ingredients （成分，原料）in black seed oil can influence prescription medicines. “ Even though the sample of studies is small to nonexistent when it comes to using black seed oil for weight loss, I would say there's no harm in trying it given its other powerful properties," says Nikola Djordjevic, MD. A. Be careful of side effects from taking too much. B. The FDA also does not have a recommended daily dose.C. It's left up to the manufacturer to meet all the safety requirements. D. However, the newest supplement for weight loss is black seed oil. E. Be sure to check with your doctor before taking the supplement, though. F. Proper glucose control can reduce appetite and may help you lose weight. G. But if you want to lose weight, you'd better think about changing your overall diet first. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分） 第一节（共 20 小题;每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Sometimes a seemingly unimportant option can mean the difference between life and death.
