The 2023 Big Thinkers series from New Scientist events features four online talks streamed throughout 2023, covering a wide range of topics all brought to you by world-class scientist speakers and experts. What We Don’t Know About Gravity We are all familiar with the concept of gravity, from the force that keeps us firmly on the ground, to the phenomenon that explains the whole structure of our universe. In this talk, Professor Claudia de Rham will explore how much we actually know about gravity and how much more there is left to uncover. Physics at the End of the Universe The Big Bang theory tells the story of the beginning of the universe. But how does the story end? Join astrophysicist (天体物理学家) Katie Mack as she shares what modern astrophysics tells us about the final result of the universe. Fantastic Numbers and Where to Find Them In the talk, leading physicist Tony Padilla takes us on a tour of the most extraordinary numbers in physics, using them to build a picture of how the universe works. Padilla proves how these numbers are the key to unlocking such puzzling phenomena as black holes. A Brief History of Timekeeping From Stonehenge to atomic clocks, here is the 5, 000-year history of how science is used to mark time. Chad Orzel offers us an amusing journey through scientific theory and unusual historical detail to show the amazing physics that makes time something we can set, measure and know. He’ll also consider the future of timekeeping and find new ways of measuring tomorrow. Save £20 off the standard ticket price by purchasing a series ticket to all four talks in the Big Thinkers series (also available on-demand) or purchase single tickets for just £13 per lecture (early booking rate), to hear from the finest minds in science in 2023. 21. What does Tony Padilla depend on to do his research? A. Theory of gravity. B. Big Bang theory. C. The history of timekeeping. D. Remarkable numbers. 22. Whose talk has little to do with the universe? A. Chad Orzel’s. B. Katie Mack’s. C. Tony Padilla’s. D. Claudia de Rham’s. 23. How much does it cost if you buy all the lectures? A. £13. B. £20. C. £32. D. £52. B Gordon Brown was born in Scotland in 1951. His childhood was a brilliant success because of his intellectual strength. He was accepted into middle school at 10. At 16 he became the youngest student at the University of Edinburgh. “At that time, he was a lucky boy, good at almost everything,” said his old friend Murray Elder. However, setbacks (挫折) fell on the brilliant boy. After a rugby injury, he became blind in his left eye. Before long, similar symptoms developed in his right eye. “I lay in the hospital bed in total darkness, uncertain about my future,” said Brown. Looking back on the past, Brown didn’t complain about his bad luck. He even said, “One door closes; you can’t play rugby any more, so you focus on other things.” Brown was interested in student politics in university, which helped a lot in his political career later in life. In 1997, Brown was made Chancellor of the Exchequer (财政大臣). He has succeeded in giving the country a high rate of employment and the longest period of economic growth in its history. Compared with his successful career, Brown’s family life is full of downs. He lost his first daughter ten days after her birth. His one-year-old youngest son has a deadly disease. “These accidents make me appreciate my life more,” he said. 24．Gordon Brown was successful in his childhood because he _______. A．was very intelligent B．went to middle school at ten C．played rugby very well D．became the youngest student at the University of Edinburgh 高二年级英语科段考试题 第 3 页 共 6 页 25．When Gordon Brown looked back on the past, he _______. A．still had hope for the future B．wished that he had not played rugby C．believed that his door was closed D．felt very sad about his misfortune 26．Which of the following is TRUE about Gordon Brown? A．He didn’t like politics at university. B．He became Chancellor of the Exchequer at 48. C．He did a good job to improve the national economy. D．He didn’t do well for the country’s employment rate. 27．From the last paragraph, we learn that Brown’s family life _____. A．is as successful as his career. B．is full of accidents C．makes him upset about his life D．is filled with good luck C Scientists at the University of Central Florida (UCF) have created a new kind of paint that’s very light and very strong. The colors in the new paint aren’t at all like those in most paints. Instead, they’re more like the colors on a butterfly’s wings. The colors in most paints come from pigments (色素)—small amounts of colored things mixed into the paint. For hundreds of years, humans have been blending different minerals, metals or chemicals together to produce different colors of paint. But nature has another way to create color, called “structural color”. Structural color comes from small shapes on the surfaces of things like wings or feathers. Normally, we never see the shapes that create these colors. Researchers at Dr. Debashis Chanda’s lab at UCF weren’t really planning on making paint. They were trying to create a special mirrored surface. But they found super-tiny clumps (簇) of aluminum atoms (铝原子) on the surface. They realized that these clumps made colors when light hit them. So they turned their discovery into paint. The new paint is so light that it could reduce the amount of fuel used by planes and cars. Normally, it takes about 500 kilograms of paint to cover a Boeing 747 airplane. It’d only take 1.3 kilograms of Dr. Chanda’s structural paint to do the same job. American Airlines once figured that cutting 30.4 kilograms from its flights could save 1,514,000 liters of fuel every year. Structural paint could save over 16 times as much. In regular paints, pigments break down and become less bright over time. That’s not true for the new paint. “Once we paint something with structural color, it should stay for centuries,” says Dr. Chanda. Besides, the new paint doesn’t heat up like regular paint. The new paint can keep surfaces up to 16.6° Celsius cooler than normal paint. The scientists know how to make small amounts of the new paint in the lab. Now they’re trying to figure out how to make large amounts of the paint cheaply, and hopefully, it will soon come onto the market. 28．What does the underlined word “blending” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Mixing. B．Buying. C．Creating. D．Discovering. 29．How was the new paint discovered? A．Smartly. B．Carefully. C．Purposefully. D．Accidentally. 30．How does the new paint help to reduce planes’ consumption of fuel? A．By improving their quality. B．By making them fly faster. C．By reducing their weight. D．By using more pigments. 31．What is the author’s attitude towards the new paint? A．Disapproving. B．Positive. C．Unconcerned. D．Doubtful. D A casual walk along the Beijing Central Axis, connecting the Drum Tower and the impressive Forbidden City — this was Zhao’s first city-walking journey in the spring of last year. Since then, the 21-year-old student from Beijing Foreign Studies University has remained a city-walk fan, believing it to be the best way to “rediscover a city”. “I visited Beijing before the start of my college life here, and it was a typical package tour during which going to scenic spots and taking photos was a big thing. The crowded tourist attractions gave me the impression that Beijing was a noisy place,” Zhao said. With the increasing variety of travel choices, traditional group tours no longer satisfy people who are looking for a more personal and different travel experience and hoping to explore every part of the city in a more immersive (沉浸式的) way. Compared with tightly scheduled routes and picture-taking tours, city-walking focuses on free, casual and spontaneous (自发的) experiences. The trending city-walk culture, which 高二年级英语科段考试题 第 4 页 共 6 页 encourages experiencing urban life with no transportation means except one’s legs and feet, has also made splashes on various social media platforms. On the video-sharing app Douyin, the Chinese version of Tik-Tok, a recent video about citywalk routes in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, has gained more than 171,000 likes, with 72,000 viewers of all ages adding the video to their favorites. According to a report from lifestyle-sharing platform Xiaohongshu, in the first half of this year, searches about city-walks increased 30-fold from the previous year. “The route offers a glimpse (瞥见) into the culture and landscape in different historical stages, as well as its beautiful natural scenery,” it said. Following his experience in Beijing, Zhao has also explored Wuhan in Hubei province, Hangzhou in Zhejiang province and other cities through city-walking tours. “City-walking is all about doing whatever you want in your own exploration of a city, and it is actually the kind of slow-paced, low-carbon lifestyle that I relate to so much,” he said. 32．Why do Zhao call city-walking the best way to “rediscover a city”? A．The variety of travel choices is limited. B．Traditional group tour totally satisfies people’s need. C．It is a more enjoyable and personal way to explore the city. D．Common tour wastes much time in taking pictures. 33．What do we know about city-walk culture? A．It refers to a 30-minute walk on the video-sharing app Douyin. B．It encourages the experience of free urban life without transportation. C．It offers practical travel tips through social media platforms. D．It shows historical moments of life-sharing platform Xiaohongshu. 34．What can we learn in paragraph 5? A．City-walk has gained popularity on the Internet. B．City-walk attracts more young people. C．City-walk recommends the shortest route from one city to another. D．City-walk has both advantages and disadvantages. 35．What is the best title of the passage? A．Walking Out from Home B．Culture of Walking Catching on in Cities C．A Popular Social Platform D．Going Free to Explore the World 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 Tricks To Becoming A Patient Person Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common? There is one answer. 36 . In the Digital Age, we’re used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips. However, research suggests that if we practiced patience, we’d be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks. ●Practice gratitude (感激) Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic. 37 . “Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California. ● Make yourself wait Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run.

You’ll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other, more annoying situations. ● 39 . So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to say to yourself, “ 40 .” You’ll then gradually become more patient.

It just felt good to be in the play, even if I had only four or five lines(台词). I worked hard at perfecting those lines. I repeated them over and over again. I put in the emphases and intonations (语调) that my drama teacher had suggested and, because I was on stage much longer than for just four or five lines, I had many actions to practice and perform. “Do them in front of a mirror,” my drama teacher had advised me. “Watch how you look; practice and rehearse as often as you can.” I did just that. I worked and worked at it. It was fun and exciting practicing. Then finally the big night came. Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of people. As I dressed, I could hear the chatting and noises of the audience. I looked around at the other more experienced actors and saw that their previous confidence seemed to have disappeared. Had they got their makeup right? Was the costume done up correctly? What if they forgot their lines? The more people talked about their anxiety, the more nervous everyone became. The worries spread from person to another—like a baton (接力棒) being passed in a relay race—until the whole of the backstage area seemed to be full of tension and worry. I was on stage early, at first performing my non-spoken role in the background with several other guys around the same age. When, suddenly, I heard my cue (出场提示), the lights were bright in my eyes, I couldn’t see the audience but knew there were hundreds of people out there all watching me. The words that had flowed so easily when I stood in front of a mirror didn’t want to come, and when they did I found myself hurrying into them. I tried to slow down my thoughts and my words. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1：But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence. ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2：I bowed to the audience excitedly and went back to my drama teacher. ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________
