2．Growing up，Deka Ismail says she let labels define what she could be． "I was a black girl，from a refugee（难民） family，" Deka said． "It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this predetermined box．"
After a high school chemistry class inspired her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field，Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future．Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California，planning to become a professor．
Born and raised in San Diego's City Heights neighbourhood，Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple．While some might say Deka's success happened in spite of her background，she would say differently，that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven，young scientist that she is today．
When Deka was eight years old，her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family．That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one's life．She spent a lot of time in the library reading books，and didn't do many of the things her peers did，like partying or having romantic relationships．
"I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family，" Deka said． "You have to not even do your best but two times better than everyone else．I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up．"
Deka's efforts paid off．The summer before her senior year of high school，she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme． "She brought both enthusiasm and focus，" Botham，a researcher at this research institute，recalled． "She arrived every day ready to work，ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar．"
When asked what advice she would give to others like her，Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves． "Don't tell yourself that scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or I'll never get into this school， " she said． "I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance letters rolling in．"
（1）From the passage，we can learn that．
A．Deka was adopted by a refugee family
B．Deka spent a lot of time going to parties
C．Deka's experiences drove her to work hard
D．Deka became a professor after graduation
（2）Deka realized the importance of education．
A．after her chemistry class

C．by reading books in the library
D．through working at the institute
（3）According to the last paragraph，Deka advised that students be．
A．patient

C．adaptable
D．confident
（4）What does the story intend to tell us？

C．Well begun is half done．
D．Life is not all roses．组卷：4引用：3难度：0.5 -
3．Ants keep traffic flowing by changing their behavior to meet changing conditions，according to new research.
For their experiment，researchers from the University of Toulouse and the University of Arizona focused on Argentine ants，which are only 2-3 millimeters long and frequently move from colony（栖息地） to colony depending on how far food is.Tapping into the ants' talent for fast commutes （通勤），the researchers constructed bridges between their colonies.The bridges varied in width from a fifth to three-quarters of an inch.
Then the researchers sat back and monitored the traffic.To their surprise，even when those narrower bridges were nearly overloaded，there were no 20-ant pile-ups.And traffic remained steady regardless of how crowed the bridges were because ants could adjust to the flow of road conditions.
"When crowding on the path increased，ants assessed it locally and adjusted their speed accordingly to avoid any interruption of traffic flow，" the researchers said. "Moreover，ants avoided entering a crowded path and made sure the bridge was never overloaded."
The lesson for humans？The traffic problem mostly lies in our loss of the quality that the ants have.
You've probably noticed it on your own commute to work.Driving is fun when there're few cars on the road-a lane-change （车道变换） here，a little acceleration there.Then traffic slows down.But some impatient drivers still constantly move between lanes.
"Traffic jams are common in human society where some people are focusing on their own personal objectives，" the researchers said.16 Iri contrast，ants share a common goal：the survival of the colony，thus they're expected to act cooperatively to get food.
The research also suggests that the ever-widening of highways may never free us from traffic jams.As long as we drive along with our own agendas，no matter how many other people are on the road，we'll always end up in a traffic jam.Indeed，less space may be a good thing.It leaves less room for personal choices and forces us to take a page from the driving handbook of ants.
（1）What did the researchers do to the ants in the experiment？
A．They fed them with much delicious food.
B．They trained them to avoid heavy traffic.
C．They built bridges linking their colonies.
D．They improved their colonies constantly.
（2）How did the ants behave during the experiment？
A．They worked together to remove the road blocks.
B．They sped up to get out of the traffic jam quickly.
C．They made their way carefully in the given direction.
D．They adjusted themselves for the flow of the traffic.
（3）What is the biggest cause of the traffic jam in human society？
A．Poor road construction.
B．People's inability to adjust.
C．People's selfish driving.
D．Too many vehicles on roads.
（4）What is the text mainly about？
A．What ants help us do for driving safety.
B．What ants can teach us about traffic jams.
C．Why ants drive much better than humans.
D．Why ants are best at handling traffic jams.组卷：6引用：2难度：0.4
