A
Four Women Who Made Scientific History
Katherine Johnson (1918-2020)
Katherine Johnson was a black mathematician and one of the first African-American women to work as a NASA scientist. As a mathematician, she calculated (计算) and analyzed the flight paths of NASA spacecraft. She is best known for making the calculations that allowed the first Americans to enter Earth’s orbit and set foot on the moon. The 2016 movie Hidden Figures records Johnson’s life and work at NASA.
Sally Ride (1951-2012)
Sally Ride was important in creating career and educational opportunities for women and girls in science and mathematics. As an astronaut, she became the first American woman in space in 1983. On NASA’s second and third Space Shuttle missions, her job was to work the robotic arm, which she used to put satellites into space. After she stopped working for NASA, she founded NASA’s EarthKAM project, which provided students the opportunity to take pictures of the Earth and then study them. In 2003, she was added to the Astronaut Hall of Fame.
Ada Lovelace (1815-1852)
Ada Lovelace is regarded as the world’s first computer programmer. She helped develop the idea for a computing machine, and invented an algorithm (算法) for a computer. To honor her contributions, the U.S. Department of Defense named a new computer language “Ada” in the 1980s.
Mae Jemison (1956- )
Mae Jemison is a doctor, engineer, and former NASA astronaut. In 1992, she became the first Black woman to travel into space. Jemison excels in many scientific fields, has authored several books, and even appeared on an episode (一集) of Star Trek: The Next Generation. She was included in the National Women’s Hall of Fame the International Space Hall of Fame. Currently, she leads the 100 Year Starship project through the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. This project is devoted to ensuring that human travel to another star is possible in the next 100 years.

When I suggested my 13-year-old try tennis she quickly refused me. “I’m not sporty; stop trying to get me to do sports,” Julianna said. I had suggested it because some of my happiest recent memories were of playing ping-pong with her. Tennis seemed like a natural progression from ping-pong and a great way to work out some of her growing pains on a larger playing field. But my suggestion was always refused by her.
Still, I was undeterred. I believed that doing some sports would help Julianna manage her emotions. I’ve seen how sports help with stress. It worked for me when I was a teenage girl.
Midway into summer, we stayed at home, and Julianna and I felt really bored. “Do you want to play tennis ” I asked her at lunch one afternoon. Sure, she said. At that time, we were both eager to spend as much time as possible out of the house.
Arriving at the court, we set down our bags, picked up our rackets (球拍), and headed to our sides of the court. The net was like the growing divide between us — I desiring connection and my teenage daughter longing for independence.
I started by hitting a ball over the net, and Julianna took a big swing and missed. We repeated this several more times. I didn’t tell her she was holding the racket too close to the neck or she should step more into her forehand. My daughter wanted the chance to figure these things out for herself. We repeated the pattern of me hitting the ball and her missing it a few times before she finally got it back over the net. “This is fun,” she said with a mixture of surprise and delight and then she smiled widely.
Now we always find time to play tennis. We’re both eager for an activity that can ease tensions between us in daily life. It’s nice to have a place where both of us can release our negative moods and let them go.
24. Why did the author persuade her daughter to play tennis
A. Tennis was as popular as ping-pong.
B. They had a good time playing tennis together.
C. It would help her daughter make more like-minded friends.
D. It would be good for her daughter’s emotional management.
25. What does the underlined word “undeterred” mean in paragraph 2
A. Not dishonest. B. Not sure. C. Not discouraged. D. Not surprised.
26. What did the author do when her daughter missed the ball
A. She stood close to the net. B. She repeated hitting the ball.
C. She changed ends with her daughter. D. She instructed her daughter immediately.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Mom Coaches Teen Daughter in Tennis
B. Mom Helps Teen Daughter Express Her Emotions
C. Mom Encourages Teen Daughter to Be Independent
D. Mom and Teen Daughter Find Some Peace on the Tennis Court
C
Most people tend to take a high-pitched (声调高的), sing-song tone when speaking to animals and human babies. Although the research before has suggested that such “baby talk” is more likely to catch dogs’ attention, less was known about how cats react to being spoken to in this way.
To find out the truth, Charlotte de Mouzon and her team members watched how 16 cats responded to hearing pre-recorded sentences spoken by their owner or a stranger, by recording changes in their behaviour, such as moving their ears or tails, or suddenly stopping what they were doing — any of which could show that a sound had caught their attention.
They found that the cats often made no response to hearing a stranger’s voice calling their name, but when their owner did it, 10 of the 16 cats showed a series of behaviors suggesting increased attention. Cats also showed more signs of interest when they heard their owner speaking sentences in a tone usually used to talk to their cats - but not when a stranger used this tone, or when their owner spoke the same sentence as if talking to a fellow adult human.
“For a long time it has been thought that cats are very independent animals, only interested in humans for food and shelter (庇护),” de Mouzon said. “But our research supports the idea that they are attached. It brings further evidence to encourage humans to consider cats as sensitive and communicative individuals,” she added. “The fact that, in return, cats show a greater reaction when their humans specifically address them brings a new dimension to previous considerations of this interactive relationship.”
Considering these findings, de Mouzon said cat owners shouldn’t feel shy about the way they speak to their pets. “I also talk to my two cats as if they were children and they do respond,” she said. “People may be shy about admitting this, but I think it can help to strengthen the bond between cats and their owners. They know that we are giving them attention.”
28. How did de Mouzon’s team carry out their study
A. By recording the sounds that caught cats’ attention.
B. By listing the causes of cats’changes in behaviors .
C. By watching the reaction of cats to different recordings.
D. By studying the interaction between cats and their owners.
29. What can be learned about most cats in the study
A. They liked hearing people calling their name.
B. They were able to tell their owner’s voice from a stranger’s.
C. They had a greater reaction when their owner talked to other cats.
D. They showed more interest when a stranger imitated their owner’s tone.
30. What do de Mouzon’s words in paragraph 4 indicate
A. Cats aren’t as independent as believed. B. Cats aren’t eager to please their owners.
C. Cats see their owners as a food provider. D. Cats are sensitive and like interacting with people.
31. What did de Mouzon encourage cat owners to do
A. Give more attention to their cats. B. Treat their cats like their children.
C. Admit that they are a cat person. D. Talk to their cats using baby talk.
D
A surprising discovery was reported by a team of South Korean researchers in late July. They said that they had created LK-99, a superconductor (超导体) that works at room temperatures and normal pressure levels.
When electricity travels through wires (电线), it loses some energy and heats up along the way because of resistance (电阻). Superconductors can let electricity flow through without any resistance. However, according to Science Daily, they usually only work at very low temperatures, around -200℃. It makes them difficult to produce and use.
After the team’s report, LK-99 became the center of discussion. Scientists around the world began to copy the steps. However, as of mid-August, researchers had published several new reports showing that LK-99 is not a superconductor at room temperature. It was rather a magnetic material that has some characteristics of superconductors, said The New York Times.
Early in March, US scientists also said they had created such material, but the research is still waiting to be proved. Why have superconductors been a key focus of world science
It could make the energy systems more efficient. Currently, around 8 to 15 percent of electricity is lost between the generator (发电站) and the user, according to China’s CHINT Group, a leading new energy company with a global presence. Superconductors ensure that the loss will be no more. Each wire can carry much more electricity. ”The electricity prices for everyone may be reduced to one-tenth of the current prices, Xu Qingjin at the Chinese Academy of Sciences told China Daily.
With superconductors, smartphones can be charged in a very short time, maybe just seconds. Electronic cars can travel longer distances, and drivers don’t need to worry about running out of electricity in the middle of their trip. Since superconductors don’t heat up, the power grid (电网) will be safer. We can have thinner phones and laptops because fans won’t be needed to cool them.
“The development of all future technology needs the support of energy,” wrote Zhou Hongyi, founder of 360 Security Group. “The problem of energy should be considered first, rather than just creating better technology.”
32. What normally makes superconductors hard to use
A. Their working temperature. B. Their limited availability.
C. Their zero resistance. D. Their high cost.
33. What did researchers discover about LK-99 by mid-August
A. It is a confirmed superconductor. B. It turned out to be a magnetic material.
C. It has no potential for superconductivity. D. Its superconductivity is still not certain.
34. What do paragraphs 5 and 6 mainly talk about
A. Current electricity shortages. B. Progress in energy technology.
C. Benefits of using superconductors. D. Difficulties in developing superconductors.
35. What does Zhou think of the development of technology
A. People should spare no effort to achieve it. B. It requires support from various aspects.
C. It will help solve energy issues eventually. D. It should come after solving energy problems.

Four Women Who Made Scientific History
Katherine Johnson (1918-2020)
Katherine Johnson was a black mathematician and one of the first African-American women to work as a NASA scientist. As a mathematician, she calculated (计算) and analyzed the flight paths of NASA spacecraft. She is best known for making the calculations that allowed the first Americans to enter Earth’s orbit and set foot on the moon. The 2016 movie Hidden Figures records Johnson’s life and work at NASA.
Sally Ride (1951-2012)
Sally Ride was important in creating career and educational opportunities for women and girls in science and mathematics. As an astronaut, she became the first American woman in space in 1983. On NASA’s second and third Space Shuttle missions, her job was to work the robotic arm, which she used to put satellites into space. After she stopped working for NASA, she founded NASA’s EarthKAM project, which provided students the opportunity to take pictures of the Earth and then study them. In 2003, she was added to the Astronaut Hall of Fame.
Ada Lovelace (1815-1852)
Ada Lovelace is regarded as the world’s first computer programmer. She helped develop the idea for a computing machine, and invented an algorithm (算法) for a computer. To honor her contributions, the U.S. Department of Defense named a new computer language “Ada” in the 1980s.
Mae Jemison (1956- )
Mae Jemison is a doctor, engineer, and former NASA astronaut. In 1992, she became the first Black woman to travel into space. Jemison excels in many scientific fields, has authored several books, and even appeared on an episode (一集) of Star Trek: The Next Generation. She was included in the National Women’s Hall of Fame the International Space Hall of Fame. Currently, she leads the 100 Year Starship project through the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. This project is devoted to ensuring that human travel to another star is possible in the next 100 years.

When I suggested my 13-year-old try tennis, she quickly refused me. “I’m not sporty; stop trying to get me to do sports,” Julianna said. I had suggested it because some of my happiest recent memories were of playing ping-pong with her. Tennis seemed like a natural progression from ping-pong and a great way to work out some of her growing pains on a larger playing field. But my suggestion was always refused by her.
Still, I was undeterred. I believed that doing some sports would help Julianna manage her emotions. I’ve seen how sports help with stress. It worked for me when I was a teenage girl.
Midway into summer, we stayed at home, and Julianna and I felt really bored. “Do you want to play tennis ” I asked her at lunch one afternoon. Sure, she said. At that time, we were both eager to spend as much time as possible out of the house.
Arriving at the court, we set down our bags, picked up our rackets (球拍), and headed to our sides of the court. The net was like the growing divide between us — I desiring connection and my teenage daughter longing for independence.
I started by hitting a ball over the net, and Julianna took a big swing and missed. We repeated this several more times. I didn’t tell her she was holding the racket too close to the neck or she should step more into her forehand. My daughter wanted the chance to figure these things out for herself. We repeated the pattern of me hitting the ball and her missing it a few times before she finally got it back over the net. “This is fun,” she said with a mixture of surprise and delight and then she smiled widely.
Now we always find time to play tennis. We’re both eager for an activity that can ease tensions between us in daily life. It’s nice to have a place where both of us can release our negative moods and let them go.
24. Why did the author persuade her daughter to play tennis
A. Tennis was as popular as ping-pong.
B. They had a good time playing tennis together.
C. It would help her daughter make more like-minded friends.
D. It would be good for her daughter’s emotional management.
25. What does the underlined word “undeterred” mean in paragraph 2
A. Not dishonest. B. Not sure. C. Not discouraged. D. Not surprised.
26. What did the author do when her daughter missed the ball
A. She stood close to the net. B. She repeated hitting the ball.
C. She changed ends with her daughter. D. She instructed her daughter immediately.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Mom Coaches Teen Daughter in Tennis
B. Mom Helps Teen Daughter Express Her Emotions
C. Mom Encourages Teen Daughter to Be Independent
D. Mom and Teen Daughter Find Some Peace on the Tennis Court
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要讲述的是一位母亲发现和女儿一起参加竞技运动有助于解决她们之间的分歧。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I believed that doing some sports would help Julianna manage her emotions. I’ve seen how sports help with stress. It worked for me when I was a teenage girl.(我相信做一些运动可以帮助朱莉安娜控制自己的情绪。我知道运动是如何缓解压力的。当我还是个小女孩的时候，这对我很有效。)”可知，作者认为进行体育运动有助于女儿管理情绪，青少年时期的作者深有体会，由此可知，作者之所以要说服女儿从事体育运动是因为她认为体育运动对她女儿的情绪管理有好处。故选D项。
【25题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“But my suggestion was always refused by her.(但我的建议总是被她拒绝。)”可知，作者建议女儿从事体育运动的建议总是被拒绝，根据划线单词前的still可知，此处意为“然而”，与上文为转折关系，结合下文中的“I believed that doing some sports would help Julianna manage her emotions.(我相信做一些运动可以帮助朱莉安娜控制自己的情绪。)”可知，作者认为运动可以帮助女儿管理情绪，所以很坚持要女儿从事运动；由此可知，划线单词undeterred的意思是“不泄气”，与C选项Not discouraged的意义相近。故选C项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“I started by hitting a ball over the net, and Julianna took a big swing and missed. We repeated this several more times. I didn’t tell her she was holding the racket too close to the neck or she should step more into her forehand.(我一开始把球打过了网，朱莉安娜挥了一大步，没打中。我们又重复了几次。我没有告诉她，她把球拍拿得离脖子太近，或者她应该更多地用正手击球。)”可知，在作者女儿Julianna没有击中球，他们又重复了几次，而且作者并没有告诉她应该如何击球，由此可知，在作者女儿没有击中球的时候，作者重复击球。故选B项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据尾段“Now we always find time to play tennis. We’re both eager for an activity that can ease tensions between us in daily life. It’s nice to have a place where both of us can release our negative moods and let them go.(现在我们总是找时间打网球。我们都渴望一项活动，可以缓解我们在日常生活中的紧张关系。能有个地方让我们俩都能释放负面情绪，让它们散去，真是太好了。)”可知，现在作者与女儿经常找时间去打网球，这样缓解了他们在日常生活中的紧张关系，还可以释放负面情绪，结合上文讲述的女儿拒绝从事运动的建议到后来开始喜欢上打网球的经历可知，本文主要讲述的是一位妈妈与十几岁的女儿从事网球运动帮助他们解决了她们之间的一些紧张关系，D选项“Mom and Teen Daughter Find Some Peace on the Tennis Court(妈妈和十几岁的女儿在网球场上找到了一些平静)”能够概括本文主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。
C
Most people tend to take a high-pitched (声调高的), sing-song tone when speaking to animals and human babies. Although the research before has suggested that such “baby talk” is more likely to catch dogs’ attention, less was known about how cats react to being spoken to in this way.
To find out the truth, Charlotte de Mouzon and her team members watched how 16 cats responded to hearing pre-recorded sentences spoken by their owner or a stranger, by recording changes in their behaviour, such as moving their ears or tails, or suddenly stopping what they were doing — any of which could show that a sound had caught their attention.
They found that the cats often made no response to hearing a stranger’s voice calling their name, but when their owner did it, 10 of the 16 cats showed a series of behaviors suggesting increased attention. Cats also showed more signs of interest when they heard their owner speaking sentences in a tone usually used to talk to their cats - but not when a stranger used this tone, or when their owner spoke the same sentence as if talking to a fellow adult human.
“For a long time it has been thought that cats are very independent animals, only interested in humans for food and shelter (庇护),” de Mouzon said. “But our research supports the idea that they are attached. It brings further evidence to encourage humans to consider cats as sensitive and communicative individuals,” she added. “The fact that, in return, cats show a greater reaction when their humans specifically address them brings a new dimension to previous considerations of this interactive relationship.”
Considering these findings, de Mouzon said cat owners shouldn’t feel shy about the way they speak to their pets. “I also talk to my two cats as if they were children and they do respond,” she said. “People may be shy about admitting this, but I think it can help to strengthen the bond between cats and their owners. They know that we are giving them attention.”
28. How did de Mouzon’s team carry out their study
A. By recording the sounds that caught cats’ attention.
B. By listing the causes of cats’changes in behaviors .
C. By watching the reaction of cats to different recordings.
D. By studying the interaction between cats and their owners.
29. What can be learned about most cats in the study
A. They liked hearing people calling their name.
B. They were able to tell their owner’s voice from a stranger’s.
C. They had a greater reaction when their owner talked to other cats.
D. They showed more interest when a stranger imitated their owner’s tone.
30. What do de Mouzon’s words in paragraph 4 indicate
A. Cats aren’t as independent as believed. B. Cats aren’t eager to please their owners.
C. Cats see their owners as a food provider. D. Cats are sensitive and like interacting with people.
31. What did de Mouzon encourage cat owners to do
A. Give more attention to their cats. B. Treat their cats like their children.
C. Admit that they are a cat person. D. Talk to their cats using baby talk.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于猫的研究，研究发现大多数猫能分辨出主人和陌生人的声音，并且猫很敏感，喜欢和人交往，建议猫主人多关心他们的猫。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“To find out the truth, Charlotte de Mouzon and her team members watched how 16 cats responded to hearing pre-recorded sentences spoken by their owner or a stranger, by recording changes in their behaviour, such as moving their ears or tails, or suddenly stopping what they were doing—any of which could show that a sound had caught their attention. (为了找出真相，Charlotte de Mouzon和她的团队成员观察了16只猫在听到主人或陌生人说的预先录制好的句子时的反应，通过记录它们的行为变化，比如移动耳朵或尾巴，或者突然停止它们正在做的事情——任何一种都可能表明某个声音引起了它们的注意。)”可知，de Mouzon的团队通过观察猫对不同录音的反应来进行他们的研究。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They found that the cats often made no response to hearing a stranger’s voice calling their name, but when their owner did it, 10 of the 16 cats showed a series of behaviors suggesting increased attention. (他们发现，猫在听到陌生人叫它们名字时通常没有反应，但当它们的主人叫它们名字时，16只猫中有10只表现出了一系列表明注意力增加的行为。)”可知，大多数猫能分辨出主人和陌生人的声音。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““But our research supports the idea that they are attached. It brings further evidence to encourage humans to consider cats as sensitive and communicative individuals,” she added. “The fact that, in return, cats show a greater reaction when their humans specifically address them brings a new dimension to previous considerations of this interactive relationship.” (“但我们的研究支持了这一观点，即它们是相互依赖的。它提供了进一步的证据，鼓励人类将猫视为敏感和健谈的个体，”她补充说。“作为回报，当人类专门对猫说话时，猫会表现出更大的反应，这一事实为之前对这种互动关系的考虑带来了新的维度。”)”可推知，猫很敏感，喜欢和人交往。故选D。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Considering these findings, de Mouzon said cat owners shouldn’t feel shy about the way they speak to their pets. “I also talk to my two cats as if they were children and they do respond,” she said. “People may be shy about admitting this, but I think it can help to strengthen the bond between cats and their owners. They know that we are giving them attention.” (考虑到这些发现，de Mouzon说猫主人不应该对他们和宠物说话的方式感到害羞。她说：“我也把我的两只猫当作孩子一样和它们说话，它们也会回应。人们可能羞于承认这一点，但我认为这有助于加强猫和主人之间的联系。他们知道我们在关注他们。”)”可知，Mouzon鼓励猫主人多关心他们的猫。故选A。
D
A surprising discovery was reported by a team of South Korean researchers in late July. They said that they had created LK-99, a superconductor (超导体) that works at room temperatures and normal pressure levels.
When electricity travels through wires (电线), it loses some energy and heats up along the way because of resistance (电阻). Superconductors can let electricity flow through without any resistance. However, according to Science Daily, they usually only work at very low temperatures, around -200℃. It makes them difficult to produce and use.
After the team’s report, LK-99 became the center of discussion. Scientists around the world began to copy the steps. However, as of mid-August, researchers had published several new reports showing that LK-99 is not a superconductor at room temperature. It was rather a magnetic material that has some characteristics of superconductors, said The New York Times.
Early in March, US scientists also said they had created such material, but the research is still waiting to be proved. Why have superconductors been a key focus of world science
It could make the energy systems more efficient. Currently, around 8 to 15 percent of electricity is lost between the generator (发电站) and the user, according to China’s CHINT Group, a leading new energy company with a global presence. Superconductors ensure that the loss will be no more. Each wire can carry much more electricity. ”The electricity prices for everyone may be reduced to one-tenth of the current prices, Xu Qingjin at the Chinese Academy of Sciences told China Daily.
With superconductors, smartphones can be charged in a very short time, maybe just seconds. Electronic cars can travel longer distances, and drivers don’t need to worry about running out of electricity in the middle of their trip. Since superconductors don’t heat up, the power grid (电网) will be safer. We can have thinner phones and laptops because fans won’t be needed to cool them.
“The development of all future technology needs the support of energy,” wrote Zhou Hongyi, founder of 360 Security Group. “The problem of energy should be considered first, rather than just creating better technology.”
32. What normally makes superconductors hard to use
A. Their working temperature. B. Their limited availability.
C. Their zero resistance. D. Their high cost.
33. What did researchers discover about LK-99 by mid-August
A. It is a confirmed superconductor. B. It turned out to be a magnetic material.
C. It has no potential for superconductivity. D. Its superconductivity is still not certain.
34. What do paragraphs 5 and 6 mainly talk about
A. Current electricity shortages. B. Progress in energy technology.
C. Benefits of using superconductors. D. Difficulties in developing superconductors.
35. What does Zhou think of the development of technology
A. People should spare no effort to achieve it. B. It requires support from various aspects.
C. It will help solve energy issues eventually. D. It should come after solving energy problems.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. D
【解析】

【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“However, according to Science Daily, they usually only work at very low temperatures, around -200℃. It makes them difficult to produce and use. (然而，据《每日科学》报道，它们通常只能在极低的温度下工作，大约在-200℃左右。这使得它们难以生产和使用)”可知，通常是工作温度让超导体难以使用。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“However, as of mid-August, researchers had published several new reports showing that LK-99 is not a superconductor at room temperature. It was rather a magnetic material that has some characteristics of superconductors, said The New York Times.(然而，截至8月中旬，研究人员发表了几篇新报告，表明LK-99在室温下不是超导体。《纽约时报》称：“这是一种具有超导体特性的磁性材料。”)”可知，到8月中旬，研究人员发现LK-99原来是一种磁性材料。故选B。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“It could make the energy systems more efficient. Currently, around 8 to 15 percent of electricity is lost between the generator (发电站) and the user, according to China’s CHINT Group, a leading new energy company with a global presence. Superconductors ensure that the loss will be no more. Each wire can carry much more electricity. ”The electricity prices for everyone may be reduced to one-tenth of the current prices, Xu Qingjin at the Chinese Academy of Sciences told China Daily.(它可以使能源系统更有效率。根据中国正泰集团（一家领先的全球新能源公司）的数据，目前，在发电机和用户之间，大约有8%到15%的电力损失。超导体保证损耗不会再增加。每根电线可以输送更多的电。”中国科学院的徐庆进在接受《中国日报》采访时表示，每个人的电价可能会降至目前价格的十分之一)”以及第六段“With superconductors, smartphones can be charged in a very short time, maybe just seconds. Electronic cars can travel longer distances, and drivers don’t need to worry about running out of electricity in the middle of their trip. Since superconductors don’t heat up, the power grid (电网) will be safer. We can have thinner phones and laptops because fans won’t be needed to cool them.(有了超导体，智能手机可以在很短的时间内充满电，也许只有几秒钟。电动汽车可以行驶更远的距离，司机不必担心在旅途中耗尽电力。由于超导体不会发热，电网将更加安全。我们可以拥有更薄的手机和笔记本电脑，因为不需要风扇来冷却它们)”可知，第5段和第6段主要讲了使用超导体的好处。故选C。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The problem of energy should be considered first, rather than just creating better technology.(首先应该考虑的是能源问题，而不仅仅是创造更好的技术)”可知，周认为科技的发展应该在解决能源问题之后。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是中国女子跨栏运动员——吴燕妮。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意：吴燕妮，一个年轻的跨栏运动员，已经进入了中国人的心，成为了网络红人。分析句子结构可知，此空所在的短语为同位语对Wu Yanni进行解释，hurdler为可数名词单数，其前无限定词，所以此处使用冠词，结合句意可知，此处表示“一个年轻的跨栏运动员”表示泛指，所以使用不定冠词，young的首个音素为辅音。故填a。
【57题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：2023年8月4日，在FISU世界大学生运动会女子100米栏比赛中，吴燕妮以12.76秒的个人最好成绩获得银牌，帮助她进入2024年巴黎奥运会。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，help与逻辑主语之间为主动关系，所以此处应使用现在分词形式。故填helping。
【58题详解】
考查代词。句意：尽管她在运动方面取得了成就，但一些网上评论转向了她的风格。分析句子结构可知，空后为名词style，所以此处应为形容词性物主代词，she的形容词性物主代词为her。故填her。
【59题详解】
考查形容词。句意：吴化着淡妆，把头发扎成小麻花辫，与传统的运动员形象不同。分析句子结构可知，此处为形容词作定语修饰名词image，tradition的形容词为traditional意为“传统的”符合句意。故填traditional。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意：对此，吴燕妮在接受中国国际电视台采访时表示，她认为“是我的肌肉让我广为人知，而不是我的脸。能力是最重要的。为力量而战是我的时尚。”分析句子结构可知，此处为固定短语in response to意为“作为对……的回应”符合句意。故填to。
【61题详解】
考查强调句型。句意：对此，吴燕妮在接受中国国际电视台采访时表示，她认为“是我的肌肉让我广为人知，而不是我的脸。能力是最重要的。为力量而战是我的时尚。”分析句子结构可知，此处为强调句型“it is+被强调部分+that+其它”结构，强调的是句子主语my muscles，所以此处应为that。故填that。
【62题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：作为一名运动员，吴燕妮看起来比她的许多同龄人更轻松，在面对挑战时变得更强大。分析句子结构可知，此处为形容词作表语，根据句意和上文中的“much more at ease”可知，此处应使用形容词的比较级，表示在面对挑战时，她变得“更强大”符合语境。故填stronger。
【63题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：每次比赛前，她都会被看见转头，用食指指着天空。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，根据时间状语Before each competition可知，此处讲述的是过去发生的事情，所以此处使用一般过去时，see与句子she之间为被动关系，且句子主语为第三人称单数。故填was seen。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意：吴燕妮告诉《中国日报》，她从刘翔那里得到了灵感。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作宾语，inspire的名词为inspiration意为“灵感”为不可数名词。故填inspiration。
【65题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：她强调，“这不仅仅是关于我；我希望中国女子跨栏运动员获得更多的国际认可。”分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作宾语补足语，根据want sb. to do sth.可知，此处应使用动词不定式形式，结合句意，gain与宾语Chinese female hurdlers之间为主动关系。故填to gain。
