第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
It is that time of the year, when a handful of world’s leading scholars, social activists and researchers are rewarded with what is often cited as the most prestigious acknowledgement of human effort-the Nobel Prize. Here’s a look at who has won the prize and for what.
Physiology or Medicine
Swedish geneticist Svante Peabo won the first Nobel of the year, for starting the field of ancient DNA studies. He is well-known for extracting, sequencing, and analyzing ancient DNA from Neanderthal bones.
Physics
Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger’s work in quantum (量子) technology landed them the second Nobel Prize announced in 2022. Although Aspect is from France, Clauser from the U.S, and Zeilinger from Austria, the three separately performed “groundbreaking experiments” as one team. “Their results have cleared the way for new technology,” the committee stated.
Chemistry
The Nobel Prize for chemistry went to another trio, Carolyn R. Bertozzi from the U.S., Morten Meldal from Denmark and K. Barry Sharpless from the U.S. “for the development of click chemistry and biorthogonal chemistry,” the committee stated. Dr. Bertozzi is the eighth woman chemist to be awarded the prize, while Dr. Sharpless is the fifth scientist to be awarded two Nobel Prizes.
Economics
The Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded to three American economists, Ben S. Bernanke, Douglas W. Diamond and Philip H. Dybvig “for research on banks and financial crises,” the Nobel Prize committee announced on Monday. By studying the history of American economics, particularly the Great Depression of the 1930s,they improved how we understand the role of banks during times of hardship and the bank’s impact on societal functions.
21．What prize is related to the research with bones
A．Physiology. B．Chemistry. C．Physics. D．Economics.
22．For what study did Ben S. Bernanke, Douglas W. Diamond and Philip H. Dybvig win the prize
A．About societal functions. B．About the history of America.
C．About banks and financial crises. D．About the Great Depression of the 1930s.
23．What do the prizes for physics, chemistry and economics have in common
A．Their winners are from different countries. B．They have three winners.
C．They improve new technology. D．They help people understand hardship.
B
At 1:43 a. m, Bertozzi was awakened by a phone call from a Nobel committee representative who, revealing the momentous news, told her, “You have 50 minutes to collect yourself and wait until your life changes.”
Instructed not to share the announcement outside of her tightest inner circle, the first person Bertozzi called was her father, William Bertozzi, a retired physics professor from MIT. “He’s 91 and, of course, he was just overjoyed,” said Bertozzi. “And then he called my sisters for me. One of my sisters and my dad watched it live.”
Bertozzi was recognized for founding the field of bioorthogonal chemistry (生物正交化学), a set of chemical reactions that allow researchers to study molecules (分子) and their interactions in living things without involving natural biological processes, Bertozzi’s lab has been using the new methods to answer fundamental questions about the role of sugars in biology, to solve practical problems, such as developing better tests for infectious diseases, and to create a new medicine that can better target tumors (肿瘤).
“I could not be more delighted that Bertozzi has won the Nobel Prize in chemistry,” said Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne. “In pioneering the field of bioorthogonal chemistry, Bertozzi invented a new way of studying biomolecular processes, one that has helped scientists around the world gain deeper understanding of chemical reactions in living systems. Being a crown jewel in chemistry, her work has had remarkable real-world impact. The research achievements have been used to study how cells build proteins and other molecules, to develop new cancer medicines, and to produce new materials for energy storage, among many other applications.”
“They call and I’m not even awake ... have hundreds of voicemails. This is how it’s going to be all day. This is crazy,” she said. Pausing between interviews about two hours later to check her messages, Bertozzi said, “My family is already booking their flights to Stockholm. It’s amazing. Go back to sleep!”
24．Why was a call made to Bertozzi at midnight
A．To warn her of some emergency. B．To inform her of winning the prize.
C．To make preparations for a meeting. D．To collect things to visit her relatives.
25．What does Bertozzi’s lab use the new methods to do
A．Develop a new drug for cancer. B．Produce more nutritious sugars.
C．Separate biology from chemistry. D．Find cures for infectious diseases.
26．What does the underlined part “a crown jewel” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．The king’s treasure. B．The universal focus.
C．The most complex part. D．The most valuable breakthrough.
27．What kind of person is Bertozzi
A．Courageous and quiet. B．Helpful and generous.
C．Wild and hard-working. D．Pioneering and Creative.
C
In the future, the Internet will be different from what it is now. There will be many more websites. It is predicted that in the year 2100, there will be hundreds of billions of websites. This means that the use of search engines will become much more important. And there will also be many more sites in different languages. This means that on every proper website, there will be links with the language you want.
Another prediction on the Internet is that data transmission (传输) speed will increase globally. According to Akamai Technologies, the average global data transmission speed in late 2019 was 26.7 megabits per pare that to the record for data transmission speed set by Bell Labs: 100 billion megabits per second. At that speed, you could transmit 400 DVDs worth of data every second. That’s an enormous gap between what’s currently possible and what’s commercially available. But as time passes, the costs of producing super-high-speed networks will decrease.
In the future, people will live under the sea and the housing shortage will be solved. There will be lots of glass domes (穹状建筑物)under the sea, which allow people to look all around into the sea. Air will be provided via air pipes which lead to the open air. You can travel from one dome to another via a kind of submarine which will also be made of glass. The domes will be so beautiful and the view under the sea will be so impressive that many people will prefer to live under water, and less people will prefer to live on land. This will have a positive effect on the environment on land.
In the future we won’t use oil or gas as energy any more. We will make use of sunlight, water and wind. Cars will run on water. Just fill your tank with water, and you can drive further than you could drive with the same amount of gasoline. Also, the exhaust won’t be damaging to the environment, because it’ll just be water vapour. So the water cycle won’t change, we’ll keep the same amount of water on the earth, and we won’t run out of water. Also, all energy will be supplied by natural sources: sunlight, wind and water.
28．What can we know about the Internet in the future from the first two paragraphs
A．It will be more important to use search engines.
B．Most of the websites will be designed in English.
C．People not knowing a foreign language will find it hard to surf the Internet.
D．There will be great gaps between developed countries and developing countries in Internet usage.
29．Why are super-high-speed networks not available to the public at present
A．Because the costs are too high. B．Because there are technical difficulties.
C．Because Bell Labs doesn’t want to sell its technique. D．Because governments haven’t recognised their value.
30．The underlined word “exhaust” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to “ .
A．oil product B．waste air C．solar energy D．wind energy
31．What can we infer from the text
A．The Internet is the most advanced invention in history.
B．Water will run out sooner than we have expected.
C．Houses under the sea will be made from metal.
D．Sunlight, wind and water will benefit people more in the future.
D
In order to help discover spoilage and reduce food waste for supermarkets and consumers, researchers have developed new low-cost, smart phone-linked, eco-friendly spoilage sensors for meat and fish packaging.
One in three UK consumers throw away food just because it reaches the use-by date, but 60% of the 12.5 billion-worth of food we throw away each year is safe to eat.
The researchers, whose findings were published in ACS Sensors, say the sensors could also eventually replace the use-by date—a widely used indicator of being fresh and eatable.
The sensors cost two US cents each to make. Known as “paper-based electrical gas sensors (PEGS)”, they detect spoilage gases like ammonia (a poisonous gas with a strong unpleasant smell) in meat and fish products. The information provided by the electronic nose is received by a smart phone, and then you can know whether the food is fresh and safe to eat.
The Imperial College London researchers who developed PEGS made the sensors by printing carbon electrodes onto a special type of paper. The materials are eco-friendly and harmless, so they don’t damage the environment and are safe to use in food packaging. The sensors, combined with a tiny electronic system, then inform nearby mobile devices, which identify and understand the data about spoilage gases.
Lead author Dr Firat Guder of Imperial’s Department of Bioengineering, said, “Although they’re designed to keep us safe, use-by dates can lead to eatable food being thrown away. They don’t always reflect its actual freshness. In fact, people often get sick from food-borne diseases due to poor storage, even when an item is within its use-by date.”
“These sensors are cheap enough so we hope to see supermarkets using them within three years. Our goal is to use PEGS in food packaging to reduce unnecessary food waste.”
The authors hope that PEGS could have applications beyond food processing, like sensing chemicals in agriculture, air quality, and detecting disease markers in breath like those involved in kidney disease.
32．What is the function of PEGS according to the text
A．To improve the taste of foods. B．To improve the service of stores.
C．To help supermarkets store foods. D．To help people test food freshness.
33．What role does the smartphone play while PEGS are functioning
A．It acts as an electronic nose. B．It reads the data collected by PEGS.
C．It helps print the gas sensors onto paper. D．It discovers the spoilage gases from foods.
34．What does Dr. Firat Guder say about use-by dates
A．They are not completely reliable. B．They can help reduce food waste.
C．They are based on scientific research. D．They are not accepted by the consumers.
35．What does the author mainly talk about in the text
A．The process of researching spoilage sensors.
B．A new technology in packaging to reduce food waste.
C．The application of spoilage sensors beyond food processing.
D．The influence of use-by dates on supermarkets and consumers.

How to focus on today and do your best
If you want to be successful, then you must appreciate the importance of living in the present. 36 Here are some tips to motivate you to make the most of the present.
Be grateful for the little things. Start a gratitude journal. 37 Take time to appreciate the things going well in your everyday life, the things you are thankful for, or the things you accept as normal without thinking about them.
Train yourself to do one thing at a time. Don’t work on too many projects no matter how big your ambitions (抱负) are. 38 Take it one day at a time, and soon you’ll be surprised at how much you’ve managed to accomplish.
39 Remind yourself of where you are by asking yourself, “Is this what I should be doing right now ” “Am I feeling happy doing this at present ” “What is the one thing I can do to make today count ” Know your own character well and listen to your feelings.
Schedule some “me time” and make the most of it. Make some time out of your busy schedule to follow a creative hobby, enjoy the beauty of nature or simply some pop culture entertainment. 40

第二节 读后续写
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。
Dad and Mum had got to go on a four-day business trip. They taught their elder son Daniel and younger daughter Jane how to feed and look after their dog, Spot, and how to take good care of themselves—learning to cook if they could, or ordering pizza with money left on the table—if they were busy, and told them to keep their rooms clean and tidy. They asked Daniel to be in charge.
On the very morning when the parents left, Mum kissed them and said to Daniel gently, “Young man, do take care of Spot and Jane.” Daniel promised, “I will, mum.”
Too excited to fall asleep again, Daniel and Jane jumped out of bed, calling out each other to get up. Their pet dog, Spot, heard the similar voice and rushed in, with a ball in its mouth. Jane stuck(伸) her head into Daniel’s room, “Spot got up an hour earlier. Let’s walk it.” Daniel said excitedly, “I’m coming, but, Jane, don’t forget to keep your room clean and tidy.” “I will.”
They ran with the dog in the yard and threw the ball away for Spot to bring it back. They had fun playing with Spot the whole morning. Washing Spot was slow and tiring as it was the first time they had done it. Then Daniel settled down to his homework while Jane did her reading with interest.
The following day, Jane begged her brother to order pizza for lunch. Daniel agreed excitedly, “We haven’t tasted that for long and we behave ourselves, right ” After a while, he added, “We should save money, too.” Within half an hour, they treated themselves to a big pizza. However, in the afternoon, Spot looked sick, lying lazily and unwilling to move. Daniel was concerned about the dog and took it to the pet clinic immediately with Jane as their parents had done.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
When Dad and Mum arrived a day earlier, they were amazed to find everything in a mess.






Paragraph 2:
Daniel ran into his room, with tears in his eyes, “Jane, there is no need to explain and mum won’t trust me any longer.”
