In mid-September in 2022, to honor the 110th anniversary of the birth of nuclear physicist Wu Chien-shiung,     1     global online conference was held to mark this anniversary. Compared with physicists such as Marie Curie, Wu is not a household name in China or in the United States,     2     she was one of the most influential nuclear physicists of the 20th century.

Wu was born on May 31, 1912, in Liuhe town, Taicang,     3     the Yangtze River flows into the East Sea. Wu’s father, Wu Zhongyi, received a modern     4     (educate) in Shanghai, and in 1913,     5     (found) the first school for girls in Taicang. He aimed     6     (break) the old sexist advocacy that it was women’s virtue to have no talents.

The father, absorbing the merits of Western ideas while bearing the great thoughts rooted deep in Chinese culture in mind, had the most profound influence     7     Wu Chien-shiung’s life. She spent most of her life in the US, but always wore qipao. Working in the scientific world dominated by men, she never gave up or lowered her standards even if     8     (unequal) treated.

During her 44-year career as a nuclear physicist, Wu’s great     9     (achievement) won her nicknames such as “Chinese Madame Curie”. She was the first woman to be president of American Physical Society, and the first female winner of the Comstock Prize in physics     10     (give) by the US National Academy of Sciences.

4 . Customized STEM Study Trips for High School Groups

We have over 50 years of experience in designing student STEM trips around the globe for all science related subjects - everything from Astronomy to Zoology! You can select from a number of topical areas to add to your curriculum and maximize student learning including, but not limited to:

Earth Sciences & Geology Trips

Participate in problem-solving workshops on topics like vectors, exponentials or calculus in physics. Tour the facility at CERN, site of the world’s largest particle physics laboratory. Start a geological adventure through Iceland, the land of fire and ice, or explore the alpine landscapes, mountaintops and glaciers of Switzerland.

Life Sciences & Biodiversity Trips

Our life sciences and biodiversity programs offer a window into the fascinating worlds of biology, zoology, botany, ecology and many others. Explore the interdependence of various species and their impact on one another in the rainforest of Bolivia. Consider changes in geography, habitat, atmosphere, and how life forms have adapted… or not!

Mathematics & Technology Trips

Uncover the significant impact of mathematics and technology on human life in our developing world. Understand how a storm surge barrier works and how countries like the Netherlands use wind turbines to power all of their electric trains. Learn what goes into making and breaking codes like those used in World War II.

Green Engineering Trips

Learn the basic function of photovoltaic (光电的) cells and how they form together to make solar panels. Investigate how various factors like temperature and angle impact the performance of solar panels, and take on the role of an engineer and develop the optimal solar panel array for a given geographic location.

We can also customize STEM trips based on your interests and needs. Please contact us at 800-522-2398 or email us today at educationalpartnerships@worldstrides.org to discuss other academic themes you are interested in pursuing.

6 . The earliest discovered cave paintings date back to the Upper Paleolithic (旧石器) period. We might expect that they would be simply made, but the cave paintings of Spain and southern France show a high degree of skill. So do the cave paintings in southern Africa. Some of those appear to have been painted as much as 28,000 years ago, which suggests that painting in Africa is as old as painting in Europe. The early Australians may have painted on the walls of rock shelters at least 30,000 years ago.

The researchers identified three principal locations of paintings in the caves of western Europe: in obviously inhabited rock shelters and cave entrances; in galleries near the inhabited areas of caves; and in the inner reaches of caves, whose difficulty of access has been interpreted as a sign that magical-religious activities were performed there.

The subjects of the paintings are mostly animals. The paintings rest on bare walls, with no decoration. Perhaps, like many contemporary peoples, Upper Paleolithic men believed that the drawing of a human image could cause death or injury, and if that were their belief, it might explain why human figures are rarely found in cave art. Another explanation for the focus on animals might be that these people sought to improve their luck at hunting.

The particular symbolic significance of the cave paintings in southwestern France is more clearly revealed by the results of a study. The data suggest that the animals in the cave paintings were mostly the ones that the painters preferred for meat. For example, wild cattle and horses are found more often than we would expect by chance, probably because they were larger and heavier (meatier) than other animals in the environment. In addition, the paintings mostly draw animals that the painters may have feared the most because of their size, speed, natural weapons such as horns. That is, mammoths (猛犸) are drawn more often than deer.

1. What do we know about cave painting in Europe?

A．It is as much as 28,000 years old.

B．It is much more than 30,000 years old.

C．It is much older than painting in Australia.

B．The paintings were in hard-to-reach places.

C．The paintings were obviously more attractive.

D．The paintings were similar to those in galleries.

3. Why are human figures rarely found in the cave painting?

A．Human figures could improve their hunting luck.

B．Human figures were too difficult to draw at that time.

C．The drawings of human figures were believed to cause death.

D．The drawings of human figures differ from those of contemporary people.

4. Which best represents hunters’ attitude to deer in the Upper Paleolithic period?

A．Hunters did not fear deer as much as mammoths.

B．Hunters didn’t hunt deer because of their size and speed.

C．Hunters avoided deer because of their natural weapons.

7 . 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。

When my parents first told me I was going to a youth camp, I was not happy. And, to be honest, I was a little scared. My parents said they knew what was best for me. Most of my summer vacations were spent with family at home. I’d miss swimming at swimming pool, riding bikes to park nearby and picnicking there. Why would I want my perfect summer in the suburbs to be interrupted by some stupid youth camp where I wouldn’t’ know anyone? Would they be funny? What camp activities would there be?

I pouted(撅嘴) angrily in the backseat while my dad drove me to the youth camp for the first day. We went past the familiar city amusement parks and finally reached the destination— Lake Erie. I was also upset because the camp organization sent a list of things we should pack and a sari(纱丽) was one of them. As a tomboy(假小子) who lived in jean shorts and T-shirts, a girly fit wasn’t on my list of favorite things, not to mention the performance on the last day.

Wearing my best frown, I walked past screaming reunited campers and dragged my way to the girls’ cabin. Its tragic emptiness was a perfect match for my pathetic state of mind. I wanted to run after my parents and beg them to take me home, but instead I pulled my bag on an unoccupied bunk bed(上下铺) and unwillingly unpacked. Suddenly, the cabin door sprang open and Mishti bounced in. She threw a lot of questions at me. Where was I from? What school did I go to? Was I good at softball?

Mishti was an experienced camper there. She introduced me to all her friends. We all came from Indian backgrounds and grew up in the same region. We all used the same brand of mosquito repellent(驱蚊剂) recommended strongly by our Indian immigrant parents.
