When Emily Beardmore first heard that a trip was being planned by the biology class at Windsor High School, she thought about how much fun it would be.
“I thought it would be a really good experience to go with other friends and teachers to another country in an environment other than a vacation environment,” the 10- year-old girl said.
A few months later, Emily got her chance when she and 14 of her classmates, along with biology teacher Tamara Pennington went to Costa Rica for eight days in late May.
“It was not just a tour,” said Pennington, who organized the trip. “You can go to any place in the world on just a tour. This one was practical, really working with the sea turtles and practicing conservation (保护). It just seemed like the perfect science field trip for kids who think they want to get into science to see what it’s really like to be out in the field and enjoy themselves.”
Emily said her time on the turtle project, which was the focus of the trip, was “crazy”. “We were walking on the beach at night and you can’t see anything — just see a big black dot (点),” she said with a laugh. “I was not expecting the turtles to be that big.” The turtles are leatherback turtles, which are becoming extinct because their eggs are used as food.
“When they would move their legs while laying their eggs they were really hard to control because they were a lot more powerful than you would imagine,” Emily said.
Once the eggs were collected, the students took them back to a hatchery (孵化场) and dug holes to copy the hole the mother turtle had made and then buried the eggs for the 60 days needed to hatch.
“It was an amazing experience,” Emily said. “You go to another country to see what their culture is like and learn what their everyday lives are like. It made me really want to help out my mom a lot more than I do, and value what I have.”
1.What did Pennington consider the trip to be?
A. It was a common tour to a foreign country.
B. It was a journey to practice what students learned.
C. It was a trip to do practical science activities.
D. It was to attract students’ interest in science.
2.From what Emily said on her turtle project, we know that _____.
A. she was afraid of walking on the beach at night
B. she didn’t dare to catch the powerful turtles
C. she got crazy at the sight of turtles at night
D. she had thought turtles were small animals
3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Emily thought the trip being planned by the biology class would be fun.
B. Totally, 16 people went to Costa Rica for the 8-day trip in May.
C. Generally, it takes about 60 days to hatch little turtles.
D. The trip mainly aimed to get fun and rest.

I don’t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated (控制) by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.
At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my PhD at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement --- jobs, research papers, awards --- was viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures.
Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all annoyance. I don’t talk about that any more. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.
Today I research and teach at Bamard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.
1.Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?
A．She is unhappy working in male-dominated fields.
B．She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination.
C．She is not good at telling stories of the kind at all.
D．She finds space research more important than that.
2.We learn from Paragraph 2 that people would contribute the author’s failures to _______.
A．the very fact that she is just a woman
B．her involvement in gender politics
C．the very fact that she is just a scientist
D．her over-confidence as a female scientist
3.Why does the author feel satisfied when talking about her class?
A．Female students no longer have to bother about gender issues.
B．Her students’ achievement has brought back her confidence.
C．Her female students can do just better than male students.
D．More female students now love science than before.
4.What does the image that the author presents to her students suggest?
A．Women students needn’t have the concerns of her generation.
B．Women have more troubles on their way to academic success.
C．Women can balance a career in science and having a family.
D．Women now have no problems pursuing a science career.
