Maths,he said,has so much to contribute to society that addressing this fear is a challenge of the highest importance. Why do we fear mathematics?At heart,says Auerbach,it comes down to a fundamental misunderstanding of what maths is.The fear of messing up a calculation may be real,but the fact that there are many excellent mathematicians who are terrible at arithmetic proves that numeracy and mathematics aren't the same thing.We understand this about writing literature.The art of creating an appealing narrative in beautiful prose (is different from the technical skill of getting the spelling and punctuation right. The same is true with maths.It isn't mere calculation. What,then,is mathematics?Auerbach says it is three things:a science,a language and an art.Actually,part of the issue is that we are stuck in the first box.The incredible application of maths in the sciences and engineering has meant that it is possible,though undesirable,to teach it only with this application in mind.A focus merely on technical skills misses the joy and excitement that can come from finding patterns and understanding them,from seeing the true beauty of mathematics.That beauty lies in wonderfully elegant thinking that allows us to understand the infinite,explore the great symmetries (of art and nature,and delight in the perfection of an abstract world of ideas. As a language,what sets maths apart is the universality of its truths-you can become fluent wherever you are from.As Auerbach memorably puts it,you cannot do "German mathematics with a Japanese accent".But it is the case for maths as an art that is closest to my heart.In researching my book Once Upon a Prime,about the beautiful connections between mathematics and literature,I have found many examples of mathematicians and poets praising each other's disciplines.This is no surprise,as mathematics is,says Auerbach,"without exception,a poetic art".If we can be shown the beauty of mathematics, we will forget to be afraid of the technical details supporting it. 28.What can be inferred from Paragraph 1? A.Math phobia lies in the fear of calculation. B.People scared of math made Auerbach upset. 湖北云学名校联盟高二年级11月联考英语试卷第6页共12页 CS扫描全能王 】亿人在用的扫描Ap C.Tackling math anxiety is challenging but rewarding. D.Auerbach's book serves as a cure-all for math phobia 29.How does the author develop Paragraph 2? A.By giving a definition. B.By making a comparison. C.By illustrating an opinion. D.By presenting a phenomenon. 30.Which of the following might Felix Auerbach agree with? A.Math is a useful tool to explore the unknown world. B.Math teaching only needs to center on its application. C.The charm of math can help reduce the math anxiety. D.Focus on technical skills makes people more anxious. 31.What is the author's main purpose in writing this passage? A.To analyze math phobia's causes. B.To explore math phobia's solution. C.To illustrate the essence of math phobia. D.To clarify the complexity of math phobia. D This year's Nobel Prize in chemistry honored a real-world example of how Al is helping humans today with astonishing discoveries in protein structure that have far-reaching applications.This is a development worth savoring. Proteins are biology's lead actors.As the Nobel committee pointed out,proteins "control and drive all the chemical reactions that together are the basis of life."In the human body,they are necessary for the structure,function and regulation of tissues and organs.At the end of the 1950s,University of Cambridge researchers John Kendrew and Max Perutz successfully used a method called X-ray crystallography to produce the first 3D models of proteins.In the following half-century,the search for documenting protein structures remained laborious. This year's Nobel Prize in chemistry went to three scientists who revolutionized the field.David Baker of the University of Washington built entirely new kinds of proteins. Demis Hassabis and John Jumper of DeepMind,a Britain-based firm that is part of Alphabet,Google's parent company,developed an AI and machine learning model that can predict the structure of proteins,decoding(解码)the amino acids(氦基酸)that make up each.The model,AlphaFold,can do in minutes what once took years to overcome. 湖北云学名校联盟高二年级11月联考英语试卷第7页共12页 CS扫描全能王 亿人幕在用的扫描A AlphaFold takes advantage of neural networks that can locate patterns in enormous amounts of data.The system was trained on the vast information in the databases of all known protein structures and amino acid sequences.AlphaFold has predicted more than 200 million protein structures,or nearly all cataloged proteins known to science.To design new drugs and vaccines,scientists need to know how a protein looks or behaves.The AlphaFold result is just a prediction-a visual representation of a protein's expected structure-but such predictions can accelerate biomedical research. Anyone who has used ChatGPT knows that AI is not always correct.But AI will only get better over time.Already,the AlphaFold effort is expanding to create accurate visualizations of how proteins interact with other biomedical structures.For now, AlphaFold shows that AI can supercharge existing knowledge to benefit mankind.And there will be more to come. 32.What does the underlined word"laborious"in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Aimless. B.Productive. C.Energy-consuming. D.Thought-provoking 33.What can we learn about AlphaFold? A.It makes use of anything but the prior information. B.Its prediction can contribute to biomedical research. C.It is collective efforts of three scientists of DeepMind. D.Its prediction shows protein structures multi-dimensionally. 34.What is the author's attitude towards the AI in biology? A.Cautious. B.Doubtful. C.Dismissive. D.Approving 35.Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A.AI:a Booster of Protein Research. B.Protein:the Builder of Human Life C.AlphaFold:the Decoder of Protein Structure. D.Nobel Prize:a Recorder of Protein Development. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读短文，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。 湖北云学名校联盟高二年级11月联考英语试卷第8页共12页 CS扫描全能王 亿人在用的扫描A The early teen years served as the start of high school,adolescence,and growing up.
