Macinley Butson was just 16 year s old when she first had the idea to try and protect women from more-than-necessary radiation during breast cancer treatments—and now, her invention could be a game changer in the medical field.

Butson, whose father works in medical physics, has always been interested in science. But she only began researching the side effects of radiation treatment after her father discussed his experience with ineffective cancer treatment in his work. Since Butson had also recently lost a relative to breast cancer, she felt inspired to conduct her own research on the subject. She tried to begin her medical research by consulting scientific journals, but she found their academic terms almost impossible to understand.

She then turned to the Internet to find videos that taught how to read scientific journals. As she went deeper in her research, she stumbled_upon a key bit of information: copper (铜) has been shown to be effective at protecting skin from radiation. An idea hit this Australian teen as she was viewing a film on medieval wars in her 10th grade history class. When she saw the scale (鳞) patterns of the mail (铠甲), she was inspired to create a wearable protective tool out of copper. She then headed back online and watched videos on how to put tiny scales together. She made her own flexible scale mail which she now calls SMART (Scale Maille Armour for Radiation Therapy)．

When her invention was tested in a laboratory setting, it reduced surface exposure to unnecessary radiation by 75%. And now Butson is working on getting her SMART into clinical settings for use.

24．Why did Macinley Butson start her research?

A．To assist her father with his work.

B．To save her relative from cancer.

C．To publish some articles in journals.

D．To find effective ways to treat cancer.

25．What does the underlined phra se “stumbled upon” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Came across. B．Missed.

C．Passed on. D．Required.

26．Where did Macinley Butson get inspiration for her invention?

A．Videos online. B．Scientific journals.

C．History textbooks. D．Soldiers' defensive clothes.

27．Which of the following best describes Macinley Butson?

A．Stubborn. B．Creative.

C．Selfless. D．Considerate.

Step into Moving to M ars, an exhibition of Mars mission and colony design at London's Design Museum, and immediately you have good reasons not to move there.

Frightening texts on the walls announce that Mars wasn't made for you; that there is no life and precious little water; that, dressed in a spacesuit, you will never touch, taste or smell the planet you now call “home”. As Lisa Grossman wrote for NewScientist a couple of years ago, “What's different about Mars is that there is nothing to do there except try not to die.”

It is an odd beginning for such a celebratory exhibition, but it provides a valuable, dark background against which the rest of the show can sparkle (闪耀)—a show that is, as its chief manager Justin McGuirk remarks, “not about Mars; this is an exhibition about people”．

Moving along, there is a quick yet clear flash through what the science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson calls “the history of Mars in the human mind”. A Babylonian clay tablet and a Greek vase speak of early ideas about the planet. A poster for the original TotalRecall film reminds us of Mars's psychological threat.

The main part of the show is our current plans for the Red Planet. There are real spacesuits and models of 3D-printed Martian settlements and suitable clothing and furniture. Mission architecture and engineering sketches line the walls. Real hammers meant for the International Space Station are wall-mounted (固定在墙上的) beside a low-gravity table that has yet to leave and may indeed never leave Earth.

This, of course, is the great strength of approaching science through design: reality and assumptions can be given equal visual weight, drawing us into an informed conversation about what it is that we actually want from a future on Mars.

28．What is the text mainly about?

A．How to move to Mars.

B．How to survive on Mars.

C．What preparations we made for Mars.

D．What the exhibition of Mars truly tells us.

29．What can we learn from Lisa Grossman?

A．It's impractical to live on Mars.

B．It's no good settling on Mars.

C．You have nothing to do when living on Mars.

D．You can live on Mars in a spacesuit.

30．What does the exhibition focus on?

A．The current plans for Mars.

B．The advantages of living on Mars.

C．The early ideas about Mars.

D．The history of Mars in the human mind.

31．What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A．A story. B．An opinion.

C．A fantasy. D．A solution.

Need for closure is a psy chological term that describes a person's desire for a firm answer to a question. Our need for closure is our natural preference for definite answers ove r confusion and uncertainty. Every person has their own baseline level of need for closure. It likely evolved vi a natural selection.

What I find really fascinating is how our need for closure is affected by the situation we're in. Ou r need for closure rises when we have to act rather than just observe, and it matters much more when we're rushed, or bored, or tired. Any stress can make our discomfort with uncertainty increase, and a high need for closure negatively influences some of our most important decisions: who we decide to trust, whether we admit we're wrong and even how creative we are.

In hiring, for instance, a high need for closure lead s people to put far too much weight on their first impression. It's called the Urgency Effect. In one experiment, psychologists tried to lower people's need for closure by telling them, right before participants are about to make various judgments of a job candidate, that they'll be responsible in some way for them, or that their judgments have serious consequences.

In making any big decision, it's not enough just to know that we should take our time. We all know that important decisions shouldn't be rushed. The problem is that we don't keep that advice in mind when it matters. So, one of the

best solutions is to formalize the reminders. Before making important decisions, write down not just advantages and disadvantages but what the consequences could be. Also, think about how much pressure you're under. If your need for closure is particularl y high that day, it's even more important to think twice.

32.How does "need for closure" probably come into being?

A. By accident.

B. By nature.

C. By acquiring.

D. By imitating.

33.It can be inferred that a high need for closure ______.

A. brings about more stress

B. leads to not so good decisions

C. causes discomfort and uncertainty

D. promotes one's creativity

34.In the experiment the psychologists reduced participants’ need for closure by telling them to ______.

A. value their first impression

B. be responsible for their boss

C. be cautious about their judgments

D. pay little attention to the consequences

35.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

A. More helpful solutions to high need for closure.

B. Some serious consequences of making decisions.

C. Other approaches to making important decisions.

D. Another strategy to escape the pressures of modern life.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

A wealthy man and his son liked to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire these great works of art.

When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. Unfortunately he died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was in deep sorrow for his only son.

About a month later, just before Christmas, there was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands. He said,“Sir, you don't know me. I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life.”“He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and killed him instantly.”“He often talked about you and your love of art.” The young man held out that package.“I know this isn't much.”“I'm not a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this.”

The father opened the package. It was a picture of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in surprise at the way the soldier captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that tears welled up in his own eyes. He thanked the young man and offered to pay for the painting.“Oh, no, sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift.”

The father hung the picture on the wall. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.

The man died a few years later. There was to be a great auction(拍卖) of his art collection. Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having the opportunity to purchase one for their collection.

Paragraph 1:

On the platform sat the painting of the son.
