B Twenty-twoyears ago,I went to London on a special mission-talking about establishing amuseum to celebrate the founder of genetics,Gregor Mendel. Suddenly,someonecame in and told me I had won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointlywith Tim and Leland Hartwell,for our work on how cells control their division. Suddenly youbecome a public character being asked to do all sorts of things:to givelectures,to sit on committees and reviews you are not always well qualified tobe on.A big problem is that people think you have something sensible to sayabout nearly everything.Over time,a potential red flag is that you start tobelieve that perhaps you do know about nearly everything.This is a diseasel've called "Nobelitis", which I sincerely hope I have managed to avoid. Within a yearof getting the prize,I was offered and accepted the presidency of RockefellerUniversity in New York.The Royal Society,the UK's national academy ofsciences,elected me president.The society traditionally elects accomplishedresearchers,which greatly helps it to be taken seriously when it givesscientific advice.Meanwhile,I became director of the Francis Crick Institute. What about myresearch after the prize?Doing high-quality science depends on high-qualityresearchers.When you are young and are starting a new field,it's notdifficult to attract very good research colleagues because people like workingwith new researchers in exciting areas,but as you get older that can becomemore difficult.Having a Nobel Prize does help.I've just started threeexcellent new PhD students.It's a privilege for me to be able to pursuecuriosity-driven research at this late stage of my career. Anyway,onething I am glad to say that the Nobel Prize did not influence was peer reviewfrom my fellow scientists,responsible for assessing the suitability of my ownresearch for publication,and my funding applications.My rejection rates haveremained essentially the same before and after the prize.And that,of course,is exactly how it should be. 24.What was theauthor's original aim of visiting London 22 years ago? A.To honor a pioneer in science. B.To attenda Nobel Prize ceremony. C.To promote the author's work on cells. D.To show gratitude to the author's colleagues. 25.Which of thefollowing can best explain "Nobelitis"? A.A burningdesire to win a Nobel Prize. B.Beingaddicted to being a public character. C.A Nobel Prize winner acting asa "Mr.Know-all". D.Beingoverconfident 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 theauthor balanced leadership and research. C.How the Nobel Prize impactedthe author's career. D.How the Nobel Prize enhanced the author'sreputation. 27.What does the authortake comfort in after winning the Nobel Prize? A.Theever-increasing public recognition. B.The objective and fairevaluation from peers. C.The closer cooperation with fellow scientists D.The easieraccessibility of funding opportunities. C Nothing awakens the mind and body quite like amorning cup of coffee,yet this daily routine faces an uncertain future."Coffee is becoming increasingly difficult to grow,which will likely driveprices higher in coming years,"said Arnold Mathijssen,a physicist at theUniversity of Pennsylvania."The idea for our research is really to see if wecould help do something by reducing the number of coffee beans that are neededwhile still keeping the same amount of extraction ()so that you get the same strength of coffee." Mathijssen told USA Today that the inspiration forthis study started with his PhD student,Park,who just loved trying outdifferent things,pouring coffee with different speeds,boiling an egg atdifferent temperatures,etc.One day,when he was making coffee,he suddenlysaid,"Wait!This tastes good."Later,he conducted a series of tests,findingthat a slow pour was best. "At low heights,though,the water's speed was tooslow to effectively move through the coffee bed.At higher heights,the watermixed with the coffee bed more, creating a stronger coffee.And then a steadyflow led to an 'avalanche effect( )'during which the flow could pass through thecoffee bed while washing up and remixing coffee grounds at the bottom.The increased height makes up forthe slow pouring.You only get the avalanche if there is enough energyavailable since if you pour too slowly,or if you go too high,then the flowtends to break up into powerless smaller drops that can't mix the coffeegrounds effectively," Mathijssen explains..江苏省海安高级中学景苏华QQ:771515126 The researchers published their new method in thejournal Physics of Fluids on Tuesday:Just slowly and steadily add water from agoose-neck pot while increasing the pour height to about 11 inches.Be carefulnot to stop the stream. From the lab to the kitchen,physics can help withyour coffee routine.So next time you make coffee,give this method a try! 28.What did Mathijssenintend to do through the research? A.Develop new coffee species. B.Cut down the prices ofcoffee. C.Improve coffee extraction efficiency. D.Make coffee more popular amongpeople. 29.What can be inferredfrom the origin of the research? A.Two heads are better than one. B.Curiosity can drive discovery. C.Many hands make light work. D.Facts speak louder than words. 30.What can we learnfrom Mathijssen's explanation of coffee making? A.Height matters as much as speed. B.Energy loss makes the tastestronger. C.Slow pouring prevents better extraction.D.An avalanche effect requires a slow pour. 31.Which can be asuitable title for the text? A.Coffee Prices Will Rise Soon B.A PhD Student's CoffeeStory C.Tips on Selecting Coffee Beans D.Physics Improves CoffeeMaking D Have you ever wondered why certain songs orpaintings feel deeply satisfying? Language expert Jay Keyser's research findsthat repetition makes art speak to us. Artists like jazz musician Duke Ellington andpainter Andy Warhol purposefully use repetition-not simply as copying,but asa clever "same,but different"skill.In Ellington's Satin Doll,for example,the rhythm repeats while the notes stay high or low,and the song's wordsmirror this pattern.Warhol's soup cans appear alike at first sight,yet eachdesign changes a little.This skill called "same/except"by Jay Keyser in hisbook Play it again,Sam -makes art feel richer and more pleasant to ourbrains. Interestingly,discovering repetition brings muchmore.Consider a photograph of the US city of Albuquerque that is oftendiscussed for its meaning.Look closer,and you may find that a dog sits in thecenter with a street sign shadow to its right copying its shape.Recognizingthis hidden pattern,as Keyser suggests,repays us with unexpected pleasure andmore.Training our eyes to notice such patterns-whether in poetry,paintingsor songs-unlocks new meaning. Why does repetition create such a connection?According to Keyser,science offers an answer::the mere exposure effect(单纯曝光效应).Just as a baby grows fond of a mother's facethrough repeated sightings,we naturally develop a liking for familiarpatterns.Advertisers use this by repeating product names to build trust.Artists harness it too-Warhol's repeated cans or a song's repeatedcatchy parts make us feel comforted and connected. Keyser shows great art works with the brain'smakeup.When artists repeat certain parts with changes,the art is in line withhow our minds seek order,expect patterns,and gain joy from"finding"connections-though we are not aware of it. By studying how artists skillfullyapply the "same/except"skill across mediums,and by connecting these choiceswith science,we gain the key to admiring creativity's universal magic.Thismakes everyday experiences with music,paintings,and words much richer. 32.What does the"same/except"skill focus on? A.Non-traditional artistic styles. B.Combining different artforms. C.Repetition with slight variations. D.Breaking all patternscompletely. 33.What does theexample of the Albuquerque photo highlight? A.Fun designs attract more attention. B.Admiring street art lifts one'sspirits. C.Repetition enriches art experiences D.Famous art deserves lastingdiscussion. 34.What does theunderlined word "harness"in paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Take advantage of. B.Turn down. C.Have control of. D.Make out. 35.What does the lastparagraph mainly tell us? A.Art sometimes matches our mindset. B.Science explains artistictechniques. C.Artists use repetition unconsciously. D.Creativity is the key to admiringart. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中 有两项为多余选项。 A digital nomad(数字游民)is a person who travels freely while working remotely using information and communications technology.Such people usually depend on Internet connectivity,remote work tools and online platforms to completetheir job.And they are often technically skilled.Today,there are over 35million digital nomads worldwide.36 The digitalnomad lifestyle has a ton of benefits.Let's be honest,who doesn't want to get away from the everyday9-5 schedule and the rules of office life?37 They mostly love the convenience of choosingwhere to work from,the control over their work hours and the ability to designtheir own days. 38By exploring different cultures,they canchallenge their comfortable habits and enrich their understanding of life.Besides,travel develops problem-solving skills,independence,and resourcefulness.These are all qualities and skills that can be useful in any area of life.
