2．Dr.Nancy Roman，born in 1925，who was celebrated as a pioneer for female scientists and had advanced the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope，died on Dec 25，2018.
When Nancy Roman asked for permission to take a second algebra（代數(shù)）course in high school，a teacher demanded to know "what lady would take mathematics instead of Latin".In college，a professor admitted that he often tried to prevent women from majoring in physics but Nancy stuck to it.And after receiving Doctor's degree in astronomy，she found a professional home at NASA（美國宇航局）.In 1959，
Dr.Roman became the first chief of astronomy at NASA headquarters，a role that made her one of the agency's first female leaders.Dr Roman spent much of her career helping develop，fund and promote technology that would help scientists see more clearly beyond Earths atmosphere.But her most well-known work was perhaps leading to design the Hubble Space Telescope the first major telescope to be sent into space for the purpose of gathering photographs and data from the universe.She was，therefore，named as "the mother of Hubble".
"She made it possible to get the early telescope up into space to learn what needed to be learned，" said science historian Bob Zimmerman，and her hard-nosed nature helped get the telescope built.
The telescope did not launch until 1990，a little more than a decade after Dr Roman retired，but when it did，its photographs of the universe thrilled the world. "I am glad，" she once told Science，"I ignored the people who told me that I could not be an astronomer."

3．Four homes built using everyday objects Can newspapers and bottles be used as building materials？After touring these four homes built using these objects，you might just believe the answer is yes.
Plastic Bottle Village，Bocas del Toro
One man's trash is another man's treasure.Truer words could not describe Robert Bezeau's project which began in 2012.After collecting tens of thousands of bottles，Bezeau recruited a team of locals to construct a building using the unwanted materials.
The Bottle Houses，Cape Egmon，Prince Edward Island
The Bottle Houses on Prince Edward Island，Canada，are the creation of Edouard T.Arsenault and his daughter Rejeanne.The father and daughter began construction in 1980.Over the months，they collected empty bottles，and by 1981 they opened the house to the public.Since then，the building has remained open to visitors，with sunny days being the best time to visit.
Earthship Biotecture，Taos，New Mexico
Michael Reynolds built his first Earthship when he was 23 years old.Starting out with nothing more than empty bottles，Reynolds set out to create a home that was not only sustainable，but also easy enough for someone without a construction background to build.Earthship Biotecture offers nightly stays.Self-guided tours are also available.
The Paper House，Rockport，Massachusetts
When Elis F.Stenman built his summer home in 1922，he turned to paper for materials.The design has proven to be quite durable，as it's still standing nearly 100 years later.The home has been open to visitors since the 1930s，and only began charging 10 cents per person in 1942 when it became a museum.Today visitors can experience the Paper House for themselves for ﹩2 for adults and ﹩1 for children.

4．Mobile phones are one of the most useful inventions of the last 50 years，but not everything that is said about them is good．Mobiles are frequently blamed for a number of things，from thumb injuries and headaches to house fires． （1）
The theory is that the bees' navigation （導(dǎo)航）systems are damaged by the radiation that is given off by mobile phones．Bees have a built-in system a bit like GPS and this helps them find their way back to their hive．But recently，thousands of bees have failed to find their way home． （2）
The problem was first noticed by beekeepers in America and is a lot more complicated than it at first seems．The important thing about bees is that most of the crops in many countries of the world are pollinated （授粉）by them． （3）Many beekeepers in America and Europe have reported losing between 50 and 70 percent of their bees．Jim Piper，a London beekeeper，was recently asked how the problem was affecting him． "My business has been ruined by this， " he explained， "twenty-nine of my forty hives are now empty．"
（4）However，the fact that bees are disappearing in very large numbers is real．And we can't manage without them．Einstein said that if all our bees disappeared，man would only live for four more years! （5）If the mobile phone theory is correct，we need to do something about it immediately-before it's too late．
A．Bees are losing their way．
B．Nobody has proved the theory is true．
C．More evidence is provided to support the theory．
D．It is believed they are dying far from their hives．
E．Without bees，the crops can't continue to grow．
F．The situation needs to be evaluated by the world's best scientists．
G．One theory even blames mobile phones for the disappearance of bees．組卷：15引用：2難度：0.3

The best exercise is one that you enjoy and will do.But otherwise…it's probably running.To avoid knee pain，you can run on soft surfaces，do exercises to（8）（strength）your leg muscles（肌肉），avoid hills and get good running shoes.Running is cheap，easy and it's always（9）（energy）.If you are time poor，you need run for only half the time to get the same benefits as other sports，so perhaps we should all give（10）a try.組卷：32引用：11難度：0.4
