Twenty-two years ago, I went to London on a special mission — talking about establishing a museum to celebrate the founder of genetics, Gregor Mendel. Suddenly, someone came in and told me I had won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly with Tim and Leland Hartwell, for our work on how cells control their division.
Suddenly you become a public character being asked to do all sorts of things: to give lectures, to sit on committees and reviews you are not always well qualified to be on. A big problem is that people think you have something sensible to say about nearly everything. Over time, a potential red flag is that you start to believe that perhaps you do know about nearly everything. This is a disease I’ve called “Nobelitis”, which I sincerely hope I have managed to avoid.
Within a year of getting the prize, I was offered and accepted the Presidency of Rockefeller University in New York. The Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of sciences, elected me president. The society traditionally elects accomplished researchers, which greatly helps it to be taken seriously when it gives scientific advice. Meanwhile, I became director of the Francis Crick Institute.
What about my research after the prize Doing high-quality science depends on high-quality researchers. When you are young and are starting a new field, it’s not difficult to attract very good research colleagues because people like working with new researchers in exciting areas, but as you get older that can become more difficult. Having a Nobel Prize does help. I’ve just started three excellent new PhD students. It’s a privilege for me to be able to pursue curiosity-driven research at this late stage of my career.
Anyway, one thing I am glad to say that the Nobel Prize did not influence was peer review from my fellow scientists, responsible for assessing the suitability of my own research for publication, and my funding applications. My rejection rates have remained essentially the same before and after the prize. And that, of course, is exactly how it should be.
24. What was the author’s original aim of visiting London 22 years ago
A. To honor a pioneer in science.
B. To attend Nobel Prize ceremony.
C. To promote the author’s work on cells.
D. To show gratitude to the author’s colleagues.
25. Which of the following can best explain “Nobelitis”
A. A burning desire to win a Nobel Prize.
B. Being addicted to being a public character.
C. A Nobel Prize winner acting as a “Mr. Know-all”.
D. Being overconfident in a particular research field.
26. What do paragraph 3 and 4 mainly talk about
A. How the author contributed to various institutes.
B. How the author balanced leadership and research.
C. How the Nobel Prize impacted the author’s career.
D. How the Nobel Prize enhanced the author’s reputation.
27. What does the author take comfort in after winning the Nobel Prize
A. The ever-increasing public recognition.
B. The objective and fair evaluation from peers.
C. The closer cooperation with fellow scientists.
D. The easier accessibility of funding opportunities.
C
The interplay between literature and scientific research has been evident throughout history. At a surface level, literature often anticipates future scientific developments, and science, in turn, provides a rich source of inspiration for literary creation. However, the interaction between these two goes beyond mere creativity; it invites deeper thoughts on the ethical (道德的) and philosophical impacts of technological advancements.
For instance, science fiction works like Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot play a direct role in shaping and inspiring the development of artificial intelligence (AI). This book pictures a future where robots coexist with humans and are governed by the “Three Laws of Robotics”. These laws not only influence the real-world AI research but also become a cornerstone in the debate surrounding AI ethics. These fictional laws provide more than just a blueprint for scientists; they serve as a bridge, making complex technological issues easier for the public to grasp.
Yet, the influence of literature on science extends even further. Take Liu Cixin’s The Three-Body Problem as an example. The scientists in this fiction are not merely pioneers of scientific breakthroughs — they also represent the difficult choices and inner conflicts that humanity faces. Through their struggles, Liu presents a profound question: As science pushes us into new territory, are we truly prepared to bear the responsibility for the unforeseen impacts of technological advancements in the future
The true value of literature in relation to science is its ability to stir the pot. It not only question what we can achieve through science but also whether we should pursue these achievements. While science focuses on problem-solving and innovation, literature makes us consider the broader influence on nature and society, ensuring our progress is guided by wisdom, understanding, and humanity.
28. What do we know about I, Robot
A. It instructs scientists in detail. B. It boosts research on bridges.
C. It facilitates public access to science. D. It sets laws for robots in the real world.
29. Why does the author mention The Three-Body Problem
A. To point out the complexity of science.
B. To warn about the dangers of technology.
C. To show literature’s moral concerns about science.
D. To suggest literature’s direct influence on innovation.
30. What do the underlined words “stir the pot” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Explore and explain. B. Challenge and reflect.
C. Assume and examine. D. Educate and entertain.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Science: the Blueprint of Literature B. Science: a Whisper in Literature’s Ear
C. Literature: a Critical Insight into Science D. Literature: the Gateway to Scientific Ideas
D
For years, experts have cautioned that excessive screen time wears away cognitive depth and sustained focus. Now, a cultural fightback is underway. Phrases like “digital burnout” and “attention recession (注意力衰退)” have entered mainstream discourse. According to a Deloitte survey, nearly 25% of respondents deleted at least one social media app in the past year — a figure that rises to one-third among Generation Z, who cite mental health strain and the performative pressure of constant connectivity.
This raises a pressing question: if users are increasingly aware of the psychological costs of infinite scrolling, why do brands push harder to capture attention The uncomfortable truth lies in advertising’s economic function. While advertising did not create the modern economy, it fuels its growth. Each paid impression sustains a system that regulators, parents and policymakers are now questioning. Thus, what began as a debate about technology has unavoidably become a conversation about marketing issues.
Yet the previous data shows this strategy is backfiring. Kantar’s Media Reactions study reveals a sharp decline in people saying social media ads capture their attention. In other words, brands are paying more for less effective engagement. Under such circumstances, some forward-thinking brands are choosing another way. Heineken, a Dutch beer brand, for instance, launched a “Boring Phone” campaign to encourage presence over scrolling. Similarly, Bottega Veneta, an Italian luxury fashion brand, made headlines by deactivating its social media accounts, redirecting focus toward craftsmanship, physical exhibitions, and cultural dialogue. These aren’t anti-digital moves. They’re signals of a shift: from maximising attention to respecting it.
So where does this leave us Young people say the always-on model is breaking them. Parents and regulators are desperate for solutions. The central question is no longer whether the attention economy carries consequences, but whether the market will lead a voluntary transformation or await imposed (强制的) force.
32. What is mainly discussed in the first paragraph
A. Public reaction to excessive screen time.
B. The mental harm caused by social media.
C. Professional warnings against screen overuse.
D. The pressure on digital apps to improve service.
33. Why do brands persist in aggressive digital engagement
A. Regulators demand more online content.
B. Policymakers desire efficient user response.
C. Users’ resistance is considered insignificant.
D. Brands regard users’ attention as profitable.
34. How did some forward-thinking brands address the challenge
A. By prioritizing care for users’ attention.
B. By refusing to update any digital output.
C. By expanding their social media presence.
D. By launching digital advertising campaigns.
35. What does the author expect for the future of the attention economy
A. The attention-based industry will soon collapse.
B. The transformation will take place in any case.
C. Brands will further maximize attention capture.
D. Regulatory measures will ultimately force changes.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Interrupting another person’s sentence is normally considered as undesirable. However, it is not always equally impolite. In addition to the hostile (敌意的) takeover of the sentence, which serves to dominate, there are also friendly, even positive interruptions. ___36___ And it can give a conversation momentum (动力). Over 30 years ago, communication scientist Julia A. Goldberg at the University of Wyoming categorized interruptions into three types—bad, good and neutral.
An interruption in the sense of gaining power almost always happens in front of an audience. And this is precisely the type of interruption that men tend to use. Sociologists from Princeton University found that the larger a group is, the more likely it is that men will take the floor. ___37___ This is because “speaking time also has an influence on dominance”, says Kothoff.
___38___ These interruptions can be used to express interest, for example by asking a quick question (“Do you mean Mina from 9b ”), commenting on something quickly (“How exciting! ”) or making approving humming noises (“Mmm”). ___39___ The person speaking feels even more heard and there is a resonance(共鸣) between the two.
“Of course, even mild interruptions can be unpleasant for the person being interrupted,” according to communication trainer Jorg Abromeit. For example, when someone asks a question just as the speaker is about to expand on the important part of their message. Asking questions too quickly and too often can also be annoying. The situation is similar with the third group of interruptions, neutral interruptions. They have no deeper meaning. ___40___
Therefore, the key to a successful interruption lies not in the act itself, but in the intention behind it and how it makes the other person feel.
A. Conversations between people are true works of art.
B. Being interrupted while speaking is a common thing to experience.
C. The second type of interruptions, on the other hand, consolidate a relationship.
D. They are neither about power nor about relationship.
E. And the more powerful men are, the longer they speak.
F. This signals to the other person that you are involved and emotionally engaged.
G. Interrupting can also be helpful and highly appreciative.

67. 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 Ms Carter led Mia into our classroom, the room fell quiet. With her hair tied loosely and a blue backpack held tight, she stood frozen by the door, eyes looking around like a lost bird. “This is our exchange student from Sweden,” Ms Carter said. “Hello,” Mia said. Her voice was so soft that I emptied the seat behind me, and I noticed her shaking hands as she pulled out a notebook.
The first sign of trouble came at lunch. I saw Mia staring at her tray (碟) of spicy noodles, fork in hand uselessly. When I waved her over, she shook her head, forcing a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. Later, during group work, we tried to include her, but her broken English got confusing. “I … I don’t know the word,” she whispered, cheeks burning. That afternoon, I passed the library and saw her sitting alone, looking through photos on her phone — tears on her cheeks. My heart ached. I knew that lonely, out-of-place feeling.
By the end of the week, Mia still hadn’t spoken much. She ate alone, kept her head down in class, and avoided the playground during breaks. My deskmate Lily talked to me one morning. “She looks so sad,” she said. “We have to do something.” I thought about how scared I’d been when I moved to this school last year — how a single kind word had made all the difference. Mia’s silence wasn’t shyness; it was fear of being invisible.
One day, I accidentally knocked over her water bottle. As I helped clean it up, I noticed her notebook was filled with English words scrawled (潦草地写) over and over. “You’re working really hard,” I said. She looked up, surprised, and then nodded. “It’s so hard,” she admitted, voice breaking. “I miss my mom. Everything here is ... too much.” I held her hand gently, promising we’d help. Her eyes welled up, and she quickly wiped them away, saying “Thank you.”

Dear fellow students,
Good morning! This is Voice of Teens — Li Hua from Senior Three. The hot question buzzing around is: “Should we be allowed to use AI tools for homework ”
My answer is a cautious YES — under clear rules. Indeed, AI tools can translate challenging materials, check grammar or generate essays in seconds, sparking fresh ideas when we feel stuck. But overusing AI kills creativity and violates academic honesty. If we let AI do all the work, we’ll lose the chance to practice our thinking and problem-solving skills. So treat AI as a springboard: credit it, rewrite it, then run your own brain-check.
Let’s make AI a partner in learning, not a shortcut. Let our brains lead the way!
Thank you for listening!
参考范文2(完全反对观点)：
Dear fellow students,
Good morning! This is Voice of Teens — Li Hua from Senior Three. While many see AI as a homework helper, I firmly believe we should not be allowed to use it for our assignments.
Firstly, homework is designed to practice and strengthen our own thinking. If we rely on AI, we miss the chance to truly understand and master knowledge. Secondly, it risks academic honesty — presenting AI’s work as our own is a form of cheating. Finally, over-dependence on AI weakens our creativity and problem-solving skills, which are essential for future challenges.
Let’s value the learning process, think with our own minds, and grow through genuine effort.
Thank you for listening!
【答案】
Lily and I brainstormed plans to make Mia feel welcome. We decided to organize a “Culture Share” party, where everyone could learn about Sweden and share their own cultures to cheer Mia up. First, we invited Mia to teach us Swedish words and traditional handcrafts. She agreed with a shy but eager smile. We also prepared Swedish snacks together, like cinnamon rolls, and made posters introducing Sweden. The whole class was excited and actively offered to help.
Fully prepared, the “Culture Share” party arrived on Friday. Mia stood nervously at first, but when she started showing us Swedish folk dances and teaching simple phrases, her eyes sparkled. We all cheered and tried the phrases, laughing loudly. Then, everyone shared their own cultures too. Mia’s smile became genuine, and she even joined in our games. After the party, she came to us, her voice filled with warmth, “Thank you. I feel like I’m home now.”
