Every year across the world, vaccines (疫苗) prevent as many as five million people from dying. Unfortunately, most vaccines need to be kept cool to stop them from going off. This makes it difficult to transport them to remote areas, because if they get too warm they won’t work. This is what Dr Asel Sartbaeva has been attempting to solve.
Growing up, Asel Sartbaeva always looked up to scientists like Michael Faraday and Marie Curie. When she studied at Cambridge University in England, she met an award-winning physicist called Brian Josephson. “My jaw dropped,” she said, “It felt like a ‘big thing’ for me to be working in the same place as scientists I had looked up to for so long.”
In 2010, Asel Sartbaeva took her daughter Melinda to be vaccinated. She noticed the doctor had kept the vaccines in the fridge. When she got home, she started reading about it online and found that there are places around the world where vaccines can’t be delivered because they can’t be refrigerated for the whole journey — meaning some people miss out on getting vaccines. Sartbaeva wanted to invent a way to keep vaccines stable at all temperatures, so she came up with ensilication.
Over the next few years, Sartbaeva and her team have tested out a number of different ways to see if the ensilicated vaccines can be kept stable when they’re out of the fridge. One of these experiments involved sending some vaccines in the post from Bath to Newcastle. The journey is more than 300 miles, which can take a day or two by post, but the vaccines were still safe to use when they arrived.
In 2021, Sartbaeva was named a UNICEF Ambassador for Girls in Science project. She designed experiments to get more girls interested in the science-based subjects. “In addition to my scientific and teaching work, I want to make scientific discoveries closer and more understandable to people,” she said.
4. What does the underlined phrase “going off” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A．Boiling.
B．Being misused.
C．Failing.
D．Being polluted.
5. How did Sartbaeva feel about her meeting with Brian Josephson
A．Honored.
B．Scared.
C．Amused.
D．Embarrassed.
6. What inspired Sartbaeva’s idea of ensilication
A．Limitations of the vaccine storage.
B．Vaccine shortages in some places.
C．Her daughter’s unexpected illness.
D．The children’s high demand for vaccines.
7. Why does the author mention the journey in paragraph 4
A．To introduce the core of ensilication.
B．To show the effectiveness of ensilication.
C．To compare different means of transportation.
D．To emphasize the hardship of the experiment.
C
Every day seems to bring more exciting news about the super drugs — glp-l receptor agonists. First the drugs tackled diabetes (糖尿病). Then, with just one shot a week, they fought obesity. Now studies of health records suggest that they may treat addiction, too. Researchers are even talking, in quiet tones, of their anti-ageing effects.
According to a new finding, not only do the drugs act in the gut (肠道), but they combine with receptors (受体) all over the body and in the brain. The drugs appear to reduce inflammation (炎症) and interact with pathways linked to desires and feelings of reward. With every new finding, researchers are learning more about the workings of disease and the links between the body and the brain.
Naturally, more work is needed. Although glp-1 agonists have been used in diabetes for 20 years, some of the newer findings are based on observational studies, and will need to be tested by randomized trials. Patients may need to remain on these drugs for their whole lives, which makes the costs uncertain.
Yet with time, experimentation and innovation, the benefits will become clearer, and the costs will come down. For patients, the new uses of glp-l drugs mean not just longer lives, but healthier and happier ones. For governments, though the total bill for these drugs could be vast, they would lower some other costs: the direct medical bill for obesity alone amounts to 260 billion dollars a year in America; alcohol abuse is a huge burden for the criminal-justice system. The state would raise less money from taxes on alcohol, but income taxes would go up, as the workforce became healthier.
Glp-1 drugs could lead to significant economic and social change. Some business models could be upended. If desires can be controlled, junk-food companies, advertisers and even drug-dealers may shift their focus from quantity to quality. Social values could develop: If being thin is easier, obesity may less often be seen as moral failings. The glp-1 breakthrough is just beginning. Its future is full of promise.
8. Why are the glp-1 receptor agonists called super drugs
A．They are expensive and rare.
B．They can be highly addictive.
C．They make people feel excited.
D．They can treat multiple diseases.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．How the drugs build up.
B．How the drugs are taken.
C．How the drugs function.
D．How the drugs are produced.
10. How can the drugs benefit the government
A．They lower overall costs.
B．They end crimes.
C．They increase workforce.
D．They raise alcohol taxes.
11. What does the author imply about the glp-1 drugs in the last paragraph
A．Their influence will expand.
B．They may cause economic crisis.
C．They will replace traditional drugs.
D．Their social acceptance is dropping.
D
Nitrogen fertiliser (氮肥) is essential for modern agriculture but carries a heavy environmental price, contributing to water pollution and soil degradation. However, simply reducing its use is not a solution. Crops typically respond to nitrogen shortage by investing more in root growth to search for nutrients, often at the expense of shoot (茎叶) development and grain production. While adaptive in the wild, this root-shoot trade-off limits agricultural productivity.
For decades, the gene behind this trade-off has been unknown. In a new study, researchers from Nanjing Agricultural University, the University of Oxford, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences not only identified the gene responsible, but demonstrated that modifying it in rice can ensure stable shoot growth and yields even when nitrogen levels are low. The breakthrough could ultimately reduce dependence on artificial fertilisers.
In experiments, the team found that a gene in rice called WRINKLED1a has distinct roles in the shoot and root. In the shoot, it switches on NGR5, a key gene that promotes branching. In the roots, WRINKLED1a supports nitrogen uptake, but also prevents the formation of a protein complex that would otherwise limit root growth. Interestingly, WRINKLED1a does not prevent this protein complex in the shoot, showing that its roles are tissue-specific.
From over 3,000 rice varieties, the team identified a naturally stronger version of the gene and used traditional plant breeding (育种) to cross it into varieties carrying a weaker form. Over three field trials in Hainan and Anhui provinces, China, rice plants with this improved version maintained a more stable root-to-shoot balance across different nitrogen conditions, resulting in a 23.7% yield increase under low fertiliser use and a 19.9% increase under high fertiliser use.
Lead author Dr. Shan Li noted that WRINKLED1a helps rice avoid the usual “more roots, less shoot” situation under nitrogen limitation, supporting stable yields with lower nitrogen inputs. “The next step is to investigate whether similar genes in other crops, such as wheat and corn, can be used to achieve the same outcomes,” she added.
12. Which aspect of the root-shoot trade-off does the new study focus on
A．Its economic cost.
B．Its nutritional demand.
C．Its genetic mechanism.
D．Its environmental impact.
13. What can we learn about WRINKLED1a
A．Its function varies in different tissues.
B．Its effect is restricted to the shoot.
C．It promotes protein complex formation.
D．It reduces nitrogen levels in the roots.
14. What might the study help to do according to the text
A．Contribute to food diversity.
B．Facilitate sustainable farming.
C．Justify nitrogen fertiliser use.
D．Advance rice breeding methods.
15. What do Dr. Shan Li’s words suggest
A．The limitation of the research.
B．A challenge in applying the findings.
C．The need to test the outcomes.
D．A possible direction for further study.

Perhaps you are familiar with the following scene: you’re meeting up with a friend, excited to catch up on the week and looking forward to sharing your news. But before you can get a word in, your friend passes you something and excitedly announces, “Look what I’ve got!” All other topics of conversation fall away and you spend the whole time listening to detailed descriptions of his new phone. You should probably be feeling happy for him. ____16____
When a friend is completely occupied with a new possession, it’s common for you to feel ignored and left out. ____17____ Before, conversations might have circled around hobbies, shared plans, or what’s happening at school. Now, it might seem like everything centres around their expensive new high-tech device.

____19____ Psychologist Catherine Hallissey explains, “Our brains are hardwired to seek out freshness-this means we desire new things. Sometimes, the urge is for the object itself and other times it’s for the respect from others.”
Perhaps an even more discomforting feeling that arises with others’ good fortune is envy. ____20____ It’s a normal reaction, especially when social media encourages comparison with others. The key is to allow yourself to feel it but not let it drive your behavior and negatively impact your relationship.
A．The new becomes old quickly.
B．Anyway, friendship is of value to you.
C．Why can the appeal of the new be powerful
D．Instead, a large number of uncomfortable feelings arise.
E．It might feel like the focus of your friendship has shifted.

52. 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。
Charlie became a street boy after his parents died in an accident. When I found him, he was 13, living in a large box on the roadside. He was hungry, dirty, full of fear and caution towards strangers. The only belongings he had was a piece of worn-out cover of The Sorcerer’s Stone. “You into Harry Potter ” I asked. “I have the entire book at home”, I added, hoping he’d understand my meaning. Instead he looked at me doubtfully. I told him that I was a lawyer and I just wanted to help. Maybe he’d like somewhere warm to stay, at least for a couple of days. He kept silent. Finally, after a full minute or so, he nodded.
My wife Bev was a lawyer too and she couldn’t have kids. When she saw the poor child, she frowned and gave Charlie a mother-like care. She filled his hungry stomach, led him to the bathroom with her nephew’s clothes for him to change into, and washed his clothes while he was getting cleaned up. I put the The Sorcerer’s Stone on the table in the living room, but Charlie was so tired that he went to sleep after the bath.
The next morning, I found he was reading The Sorcerer’s Stone in the living room. After breakfast, he said he would leave for his aunt in Denver. Looking at him, I really didn’t believe there was an aunt. Why was he so anxious to get back on the road Whatever his motivation, he needed supplies.
So we took out a hiking backpack. Bev included another of her nephew’s clothes, a hat and a pair of ski gloves. I gave him two of my Harry Potter books: The Sorcerer’s Stone and The Chamber Of Secrets. “And now for the best part,” I said, handing Charlie an envelope. “There’s eight-hundred dollars in there.” His head suddenly raised up and he stared at me, wide-eyed. “That should get you to wherever you need to go,” I said. Though refused at first, I drove him to the bus station and bought the ticket for him.

Charlie stood before me, his eyes clouded with hesitation.

六、读后续写参考范文
Charlie stood before me, his eyes clouded with hesitation. He held the envelope tightly in his hands and hesitated to take the bus ticket. He said he didn’t dare to accept so much money and such precious books, for he had nothing to repay us. I patted his shoulder and told him we expected nothing in return, just hoping he could live a safe and warm life. After repeated persuasion, he finally took them, tears rolling down his cheeks. He bowed deeply to us before boarding the bus.
The next morning, while Bev and I were having breakfast, the doorbell rang. To our surprise, it was Charlie. He handed back the envelope of money, only keeping one Harry Potter book. He explained that he had found a part-time job nearby and could support himself. He came back to thank us sincerely for our kindness and care those days. We felt so touched, realizing small warmth could light up a lonely teenager’s whole world.
