Emily Temple-Wood was 12 years old the first time she was bullied(欺凌) online. They left ugly comments on her Wikipedia and Facebook pages about her looks “that would make my mother’s hair curl.” says Temple-Wood, now 22 and in medical school. The reason? “I was a woman on the Internet,” she said.

Over the years, she considered how she might take revenge(复仇). Then, as a freshman in college, it hit her: “What do misogynists(men who hate women) hate most?” she asked herself. “Women who are productive!” Her solution: For every rude comment she received, Temple-Wood would post a biography(传记) of a woman scientist, and thus, in 2012, Wiki Project Women Scientists was born. She wrote about her heroes, like Barbara McClintock, who received the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and Caroline Still Anderson, one of the first African American women to become a doctor in the United States, in the late 1800s. With help from other women, many of them scientists who have also been bullied online, Temple-Wood has published hundreds of these biographies and women of all ages have taken notice.

“When I was a kid, I could count the number of women scientists I knew about on one hand,” wrote Siko Bouterse, who used to work for the Wikimedia Foundation. “But our daughters have the chance to get much more knowledge about scientists who look like them because of Emily.

The ugly comments still come, says Temple-Wood. Being a strong woman online is not easy. “We all have days when we break down and need to have a glass of wine,” she says. “I tell people who are being bullied that it’s OK to be sad. But now you need to find a productive way to take revenge.”

1.The underlined part in Paragraph 1 shows a feeling of ______.

A. shock　　 B. disappointment

C. excitement　　 D. confidence

A day in the life of 18-year-old David Lanster is full of teenage activities: school, baseball practice, homework. And then he starts cooking. “Some nights I’m up until 1 a.m. making pies, or even later if we’re cooking beef,” said the student at Ransom Everglades High School in Florida, US.

For the past year, Lanster and Kelly Moran, his classmate, have been hosting fancy dinner parties at Lanster’s parents’ home. Their meals have 17 courses and are all made by them. Their guests used to give them gifts to thank them, until the pair decided to do something nice for charity. “We got some really great Miami Heat tickets, a nice watch, and many kitchen machines,” Lanster said. “But we wanted to make this something positive for people rather than us.”

Lanster and Moran focused on Common Threads, a charity(慈善机构) that helps to teach kids in poor neighborhood to cook and make healthy eating choices. The young cooks ask their guests to give however much they want as payment for their meals. It all goes to Common Threads because Lanster’s parents cover their food costs. After their last 12-person event, Lanster and Moran gave $1,600 to the charity. Now, they’re taking their show out of the kitchen and on the road. Lanster and Moran have started to organize private dinner parties in a similar way: the host pays for the ingredients(食材), and the guests make a donation (捐赠) to a charity.

Outside the kitchen, the two are busy preparing their college applications. Neither is sure what they will do in the future, but they’ve promised their parents that they’ll leave cooking alone until they finish high school.

1.Why does Lanster and Moran cook now?

A.To get gifts from guests. B.To raise money for charity.

C.To become cooks. D.To make healthier eating choices.

2.What can we infer about Lanster and Moran?

A.They will give up cooking forever.

B.They are sure about their future jobs.

C.Their parents support cooking as a job.

D.They will stop cooking for college application.

3.How can we best describe Lanster and Moran?

A.Selfish and reliable. B.Creative and helpful.

C.Confident and careful. D.Outgoing and patient.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.A Great Cook B.Eat as you Wish

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Big cats have existed on the earth for millions of years, though scientists aren’t sure exactly how long. But a new study indicates that a skull (颅骨) of a snow leopard (豹) relative that was recently unearthed is 4.4 million years old. That makes it the oldest big cat fossil (化石) ever found.

A team of US and Chinese scientists unearthed the skull in Tibet. This creature is not a direct ancestor to big cats, but it is closely related to the snow leopard, study leader Jack Tseng told the Associated Press. The fossil lends evidence to the belief that big cats existed in Asia and spread out from there.

Big cats are at the top of the food chain and have few predators of their own. Big cats include snow leopards, clouded leopards, tigers and lions. Based on genetic judgements, most scientists believe they first existed in Central Asia. But previously, the oldest known big cat fossil was 3.6 million years old and found in Africa.

The new fossil findings were published in the November 13 issue of the science journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. Tseng and his team were fossil hunting in the Himalayas in 2010 when they discovered some bones, including the buried cat skull. The researchers were able to determine its age by studying the surrounding rocks and soil. The skull indicates that the animal was about the size of a clouded leopard, which can grow up to 50 pounds. In 2012, the team returned to unearth more cat bones.

David Polly from Indiana University told the Associated Press that the fossil is “convincingly older than the current record holder”. He added that there could be even older big cat fossils in the Tibetan plateau to uncover.

1.What does the newly unearthed skull prove?

A. Big cats might have their origins in Asia.

B. The oldest fossil is 4.4 million years old.

C. The snow leopard is the oldest big cat.

D. The skull is of big cats’ direct ancestor.

2.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. relatives.　　 B. enemies.

C. partners.　　 D. protectors

3.How do the researchers know the skull’s age?

A. By measuring its size and forehead.

B. By examining other bones around it.

C. By studying its chemical composition.

D. By exploring the rocks and soil around it.

4.Where was “the current record holder” in the last paragraph found?

A. Asia.　　 B. Africa.

C. America.　　 D. Australia.
