With the world's attention on vaccines(疫苗), now it feels like a good moment to sing the praises of an often forgotten contributor to their development.Three hundred years ago this month, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu got her daughter inoculated(接种) against smallpox, making her child the first person in the West to be protected in this way.Without Montagu's willingness to adopt a practice she had learned from other cultures, the introduction of vaccines around 80 years later would never have taken place.
Montagu first witnessed inoculation when she accompanied her husband to Turkey.Inoculation had started in Asia, probably in China, as early as the 10th century AD.Montagu observed how older women in Turkey took a tiny amount of pus(脓) from a person with smallpox.They then used needles to make cuts on people's wrists and ankles and added the pus to their bloodstream.This helped people gain immunity from future infection.
Like other visitors to the country, Montagu took steps to ensure that her son was inoculated.This worked well, but she knew that trying it in England would be far more challenging.Inoculation performed by unlicensed amateurs would threaten doctors' professional standing and potentially rob them of valuable income.Some people also disagree with the practice, as they saw it as going against nature.
Back in England, Montagu observed the increased severity of smallpox infections.Eventually, in April 1721, she decided to use the Turkish practice to have her daughter inoculated, because she believed that the rewards would outweigh the risks.After a safe time had passed following the inoculation, Montagu allowed doctors to examine her daughter.
Doctors in Britain gradually accepted the practice.About 80 years later, a pioneering physician found smallpox vaccines to destroy smallpox completely.As early as last century, academics argued that Montagu was no more than an enthusiastic amateur.In truth, she made a vital scientific contribution towards finding the cure for smallpox.

Born on July 1st, 1948, in the small Italian city of Palmi, Roberto Crea was a genius kid.He moved to the Netherlands and majored in Biological Chemistry.It was this university that directed his interest in the synthesis(合成) of nucleotides, the basic units that are required to build DNA.At that time, not many researchers studied the combination of genes(基因), but Roberto's strong chemistry background made a historical invention possible.
In 1977, he joined the Genentech, Inc.and the gene synthesis team at City of Hope Medical School.The company funded Dr.Crea's ongoing research on gene synthesis.After working day and night, the brilliant individual finally invented a new procedure that improved the chemical synthesis of genes.Thanks to his rich knowledge and the joint efforts of the excellent Genentech team, he made use of this discovery to produce the human insulin(胰岛素) genes, A and B.It was his invention that allowed Genentech to be labeled as the first producer of human protein.This benefited hundreds of millions of people suffering from diabetes(糖尿病) all over the world.
Today Roberto is known as the father of synthetic insulin and had almost won the Nobel Prize.His efforts did not stop after discovering the synthetic insulin; in fact, he was more than driven and tried to make more contributions to the field of biotechnology.His team of experts discovered Ziconotide under his teachings and guidance.According to leading scientists and researchers, this drug is more powerful and effective than morphine(吗啡), and the best part of this is that it has zero side-effects.
Dr.Roberto Crea has a long list of creditable discoveries and researches that he has achieved in 65 years of his life.He is an inspiration for many individuals who aim to add value to humanity with the help of science.

Einstein's Opinions on Creative Thinking
“The greatest scientists are artists as well,” said Albert Einstein, one of the greatest physicists and an amateur pianist and violinist.
For Einstein, insight did not come from logic or mathematics. 1. “All great achievements of science must start from intuitive(直觉的) knowledge.Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
2. Surprisingly, it wasn't the content of an idea, or its subject, that determined whether something was art or science, but how the idea was expressed.If what is seen and experienced is described in the language of logic, then it is science.If it is communicated and recognized intuitively, then it is art. 3. That's why he said that great scientists were also artists.
4. “If I were not a physicist,” he once said, “I would probably be a musician.I often think in music and I see my life in terms of music.I get most joy in life out of music.” Music provided Einstein with a connection between time and space, which both combine spatial(空间的) and structural aspects.“The theory of relativity occurred to me by intuition and music is the driving force behind this intuition,” said Einstein.“My parents had me study the violin from the time I was six. 5. ”
A.But how did art differ from science for Einstein?
B.My new discovery is the result of musical insight.
C.Instead, it came from intuition(直觉) and inspiration.
D.There is no doubt that my theory was a great breakthrough then.
E.Einstein himself worked intuitively and expressed himself logically.
F.Einstein also owed his scientific insight and intuition mainly to music.
G.For Einstein, it was the humanities that mainly contributed to his achievements.
语篇类型:说明文 主题语境:人与社会——科学精神
语篇导读:本文主要介绍了爱因斯坦关于创造性思维的观点。
1.答案 B
解析 顺承关系。根据上下文可知,空处顺接上文,说明爱因斯坦认为洞察力应来自于直觉,B项符合语境,故选B项。
2.答案 A
解析 递进关系。空处引出了下文关于艺术和科学的区别的论述。A项中的art differ from science和下文的whether something was art or science相呼应,A项正好引出本段的主题,故选A项。
3.答案 E
解析 因果关系。E项中的worked intuitively and expressed himself logically和空前一句相呼应,表明爱因斯坦本人凭直觉工作,用逻辑表达自己,也是下文他被称为伟大的科学家也是艺术家的原因,故选E项。
4.答案F
解析 总分关系。根据下文可知,音乐对爱因斯坦帮助很大。F项(爱因斯坦的科学洞察力和直觉主要归功于音乐)适合做本段的主旨句,故选F项。
5.答案 C
解析 承接关系。空前一句说明音乐对他的工作产生的积极影响,空处承接上文,说明了爱因斯坦是靠音乐有了新发现。C项(我的新发现是音乐洞察力的结果)符合语境,故选C项。
