STOCKHOLM, Oct. 6 (Xinhua) -- Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi were awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine on Monday for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance(外周免疫耐受).
"Their discoveries have been decisive for our understanding of how the immune system functions and why we do not all develop serious autoimmune diseases," said Olle Kampe, chair of the Nobel Committee.
The Nobel Assembly at Sweden's Karolinska Institute said the trio's work has had far-reaching clinical implications, paving the way for new treatments for autoimmune diseases and cancer, and potentially improving the success of transplantations.
Brunkow, born in 1961, is a senior program manager at the Institute for Systems Biology in the United States. Ramsdell, born in 1960, serves as a scientific advisor at Sonoma Biotherapeutics, also in the United States. Sakaguchi, born in 1951, is a professor at the Immunology Frontier Research Center of Osaka University in Japan.
The laureates will share the prize sum of 11 million Swedish kronor (about 1.17 million U.S. dollars).
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded since 1901. Last year's prize went to American scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for discovering microRNA and its role in gene regulation.

Passage1阅读理解
(2026·河南省百所名校高三上学期开学)
Most of us grow up believing that the colors we see around us form the complete palette (调色板) of the world. Yet a team of researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, has challenged that assumption by revealing a color that had never before entered human vision.
Ren Ng, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science, together with Austin Roorda, a professor of vision science, made this groundbreaking work possible. Their team developed an experimental platform named Oz, capable of stimulating individual photoreceptor cells (感光细胞) in the retina (视网膜) with extraordinary precision. Instead of merely presenting familiar shades, Oz creates signals in a way that generates entirely novel visual experiences.
The scientists likened their exploration to a journey into a brand-new territory. They found themselves face to face with something brilliant and wholly unfamiliar. By directing finely tuned laser beams onto M cone cells—the receptors typically associated with perceiving green—they discovered a color beyond anything nature provides. This striking new color was named “olo” by lead author James Carl Fong.
Ng admitted that he initially expected something like the “greenest green” imaginable. Instead, what appeared was a blue-green that didn’t match any standard color. Only five people have been able to witness it, because running Oz requires extreme precision and strict safety measures. The system must account for the eye’s constant micro-movements while keeping laser exposure within safe limits.
Far from being a mere curiosity, this discovery raises profound questions about human perception. If technology can find “olo”, how many other hidden colors might await discovery? Consider tetrachromacy (四色视觉), a rare condition enabling certain individuals—mostly women—to see hundreds of millions of colors invisible to most people. Ng wonders if a vast, unexplored area of color could exist beyond our current understanding where colors like “olo” are only the start.
1.What can we know about the Oz platform?
A.It generates artificial cells. B.It causes new colors to emerge.
C.It is named after its creator. D.It works like humans’ retinas.
2.What is special about the color “olo”?
A.It is a common color found in nature.
B.It is the greenest green that can be imagined.
C.It is a color that doesn’t match any standard one.
D.It can only be seen by people with tetrachromacy.
3.Why is tetrachromacy mentioned?
A.To describe how the Oz system operates.
B.To stress the unique vision power of women.
C.To explain the principle behind the experiment.
D.To illustrate the possibility of discovering unseen colors.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.A Breakthrough in Human Vision
B.How Did Scientists Find a New Cell?
C.The Discovery of a Never-Before-seen Color
D.Could There Be More Colors We Cannot See?
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.D 4.C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是加州大学伯克利分校的研究团队通过科技创新发现了一种人类从未见过的全新色彩“olo”,并由此引发了对人类视觉认知边界的深刻探讨。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段的“Their team developed an experimental platform named Oz, capable of stimulating individual photoreceptor cells (感光细胞) in the retina (视网膜) with extraordinary precision. Instead of merely presenting familiar shades, Oz creates signals in a way that generates entirely novel visual experiences.(他们的团队开发了一个名为Oz的实验平台,能够以非凡的精度刺激视网膜中的单个感光细胞。Oz不只是呈现熟悉的色调,而是以能生成全新视觉体验的方式来产生信号。)”可知,Oz平台会产生新的颜色。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段的“They found themselves face to face with something brilliant and wholly unfamiliar.(他们发现自己面对的是一件辉煌而又完全陌生的东西。)”和第四段的“Ng admitted that he initially expected something like the “greenest green” imaginable. Instead, what appeared was a blue-green that didn’t match any standard color.(Ng承认,他起初本以为会看到一种堪称“最绿的绿色”。然而,实际呈现的却是一种蓝绿色,与任何标准颜色都不匹配。)”可知,“olo”这个颜色的特别之处是这是一种与任何标准颜色都不匹配的颜色。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段的“If technology can find “olo”, how many other hidden colors might await discovery? Consider tetrachromacy (四色视觉), a rare condition enabling certain individuals—mostly women—to see hundreds of millions of colors invisible to most people. Ng wonders if a vast, unexplored area of color could exist beyond our current understanding where colors like “olo” are only the start.(如果技术可以发现“olo”,那么还有多少隐藏的颜色等待被发现呢?以四色视为例,这是一种罕见的视觉特质,使某些人——主要是女性——能够看到大多数人看不见的数亿种颜色。Ng想知道,在我们目前的理解之外,是否存在一个广阔的、未开发的颜色领域,像“olo”这样的颜色只是一个开始。)”可知,文中提到tetrachromacy是为了说明发现看不见的颜色的可能性。故选D。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第三段“The scientists likened their exploration to a journey into a brand-new territory. They found themselves face to face with something brilliant and wholly unfamiliar. By directing finely tuned laser beams onto M cone cells—the receptors typically associated with perceiving green—they discovered a color beyond anything nature provides. This striking new color was named “olo” by lead author James Carl Fong.(科学家们把他们的探险比作进入一个全新领域的旅行。他们发现自己面对的是一件辉煌而又完全陌生的东西。通过将精细调谐的激光束射向M锥细胞(通常与感知绿色有关的受体),他们发现了一种超越自然界提供的颜色。这种引人注目的新颜色被主要作者James Carl Fong命名为“olo”。)”可知,本文主要讲的是加州大学伯克利分校的研究团队通过科技创新发现了一种人类从未见过的全新色彩“olo”,并由此引发了对人类视觉认知边界的深刻探讨,因此最好的题目是C选项“The Discovery of a Never-Before-seen Color(一种从未见过的颜色的发现)”,故选C。

Passage2阅读理解
(2026·江西省吉安市上进联考红十校联盟高三上学期开学)
Parkinson’s law states: “Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.” In other words, things become harder to complete when more time is given to complete them as the build-up to the task becomes stressful and frightening.
Parkinson’s law is not a scientific principle. Instead, it is simply an observation of a phenomenon many people including scientists have experienced rather than dug into. As first described by CyrilNorthcote Parkinson in a 1955 humor essay published in The Economist, it can explain the expansion of organizations. However, it can also be a helpful way to think about other types of work, including personal productivity.
The complexity of a task tends to grow when more time is distributed for its completion. When you find yourself finishing the task, you might feel a sense of relief but also wonder why the project became so much more of a burden in your mind than it was in real life. The “extra time” that the task requires often isn’t related to the task itself — it’s mental stress caused by worrying about getting it done.
In Parkinson’s original example, a woman’s task for the day was just to mail a postcard. As a result of having the entire day to complete the simple task, the amount of work and time required expanded to fill the whole day. The fictional woman spent a half-hour searching for her reading glasses. Writing the postcard took another two hours. More time was spent finding a stamp, writing the address, and walking the postcard to the post office.
One reason why this phenomenon happens lies in how people tend to approach tasks. Research indicates that when people start a new project, they tend to focus on how much time they have available to do it instead of how much time the task would take to complete. While Parkinson’s law is a phenomenon that can lead to wasted time and inefficient work, it doesn’t have to be a problem if you’re aware of it.
5.Why does Parkinson’s law fail to be a scientific principle?
A.It lacks profound research. B.It serves certain enterprises.
C.It has shallow implications. D.It aims to uncover an issue.
6.What does paragraph 3 mainly discuss about Parkinson’s law?
A.Its present situation. B.Its underlying logic.
C.Its mental influence. D.Its unnoticed worth.
7.What does Parkinson’s original example imply?
A.Looking for glasses didn’t matter. B.Mailing a postcard took two hours.
C.Categorizing tasks consumed time. D.Task expands to fill available time.
8.What might be discussed in the follow-up text?
A.Views on deadline setting. B.Modes of task assignment.
C.Difficulties in high outputs. D.Tips for time management.
【答案】5.A 6.B 7.D 8.D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了帕金森定律,说明其并非科学原理,而是对常见现象的观察,解释了其潜在逻辑、原始例子及成因,并指出意识到这一现象可避免其带来的问题。
5.细节理解题。根据第二段“Parkinson’s law is not a scientific principle. Instead, it is simply an observation of a phenomenon many people including scientists have experienced rather than dug into. (帕金森定律不是一个科学原理。相反,它只是对一种现象的观察,包括科学家在内的许多人都经历过,而不是深入研究过。)”可知,帕金森定律不能成为科学原理是因为它缺乏深入的研究。故选A。
6.主旨大意题。根据第三段“The complexity of a task tends to grow when more time is distributed for its completion. When you find yourself finishing the task, you might feel a sense of relief but also wonder why the project became so much more of a burden in your mind than it was in real life. The “extra time” that the task requires often isn’t related to the task itself — it’s mental stress caused by worrying about getting it done. (当分配更多的时间来完成任务时,任务的复杂性往往会增加。当你发现自己完成了任务,你可能会有一种解脱的感觉,但也想知道为什么这个项目在你的脑海中比在现实生活中成为了如此多的负担。任务所需的“额外时间”通常与任务本身无关——它是由于担心完成任务而引起的精神压力。)”可知,第三段主要讨论了帕金森定律的基本逻辑。故选B。
7.推理判断题。根据第四段“In Parkinson’s original example, a woman’s task for the day was just to mail a postcard. As a result of having the entire day to complete the simple task, the amount of work and time required expanded to fill the whole day. The fictional woman spent a half-hour searching for her reading glasses. Writing the postcard took another two hours. More time was spent finding a stamp, writing the address, and walking the postcard to the post office. (在帕金森最初的例子中,一位女士当天的任务只是寄一张明信片。由于她有一整天的时间来完成这项简单的任务,所需的工作量和时间便扩展到了填满一整天。这位虚构的女士花了半个小时找她的老花镜。写明信片又花了两个小时。她还花了更多时间找邮票、写地址,以及把明信片送到邮局。)”可知,帕金森氏症最初的例子暗示了任务会扩展以填满可用时间。故选D。
8.推理判断题。根据最后一段“While Parkinson’s law is a phenomenon that can lead to wasted time and inefficient work, it doesn’t have to be a problem if you’re aware of it. (虽然帕金森定律是一种会导致时间浪费和工作效率低下的现象,但如果你意识到这一点,它就不会成为一个问题。)”可知,接下来可能会讨论如何应对帕金森定律,即掌握管理时间的技巧,以避免时间浪费和低效工作。故选D。
【长难句分析】
【文章原句】Research indicates that when people start a new project, they tend to focus on how much time they have available to do it instead of how much time the task would take to complete.
【句式分析】 这个句子是一个复合句,包含多个分句和修饰成分。that后是宾语从句,when people start a new project是宾语从句中的时间状语从句,how much time they have available to do it是宾语从句中的宾语从句,instead of前后是并列关系,how much time the task would take to complete仍然是宾语从句。
【翻译】研究表明,当人们开始一个新项目时,他们倾向于关注他们有多少时间去做它,而不是任务需要多少时间来完成。

Passage 5 语法填空
(2025·甘肃省天水市模拟预测(B))
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Back in 1 late 1700s, long before people understood the reason behind immunity, farmers and doctors in rural areas of Britain noticed that dairymaids (挤奶女工) and other people who got a mild disease called cowpox (牛痘) seldom caught its fearsome cousin, smallpox (天花). Was there a connection? Some decided there was and inserted (嵌入的) material from the cowpox into an incision they cut on the arm of healthy people, thus somehow 2 (protect) them from smallpox. In 1798, a doctor named Edward Jenner published the results of his experiments using this procedure, earning 3 (he) fame as the “Father of Immunology”.
Scientists later figured out that cowpox somehow protected one from smallpox. When people caught cowpox, their bodies made special cells 4 (call) antibodies. They fought the disease. That’s not all. They stayed in the blood 5 case the disease ever returned. Because cowpox and smallpox are fairly similar, if a person was later exposed to the more serious disease, antibodies were ready 6 (fight) it too.
That knowledge helped scientists develop vaccines. The term vaccination originated from Latin. They contain the viruses, weakened, dead or modified (改良的). Injected into the blood, they trick the immune system into making antibodies. 7 the body ever meets with those same 8 (virus), even at full strength, the antibodies make short work of them.
Vaccination prior to 9 (expose) to the virus is ideal. But a vaccination given within three days of exposure will 10 (complete) prevent or significantly modify smallpox in the majority of people and given within the first four to seven days will likely offer some protection or soften the disease.
【答案】
1.the 2.protecting 3.himself/his 4.called 5.in 6.to fight 7.If/When 8.viruses 9.exposure 10.completely
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了18世纪末Edward Jenner发现接种牛痘提取物能预防天花,从而开创疫苗接种的历史,并解释了抗体如何通过识别相似病毒提供免疫力。
1.考查冠词。句意:早在18世纪末,远在人们理解免疫原理之前,英国乡村的农民和医生注意到,挤奶女工和其他感染过一种名为牛痘的轻微疾病的人,很少染上其可怕的近亲——天花。空后为late 1700s,“某世纪某年代”前需加定冠词the。故填the。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意:一些人认为有,于是将牛痘的提取物注入健康人手臂上的切口,从而以某种方式保护他们免受天花侵害。句子主干成分完整,空处表示随着谓语行为自然发生的结果,作结果状语,应用protect“保护”的现在分词形式。故填protecting。
3.考查代词。句意:1798年,一位名叫Edward Jenner的医生发表了使用此方法的实验结果,并因此赢得了“免疫学之父”的声誉。earn sb. sth.意为“为某人赢得某物”,空处作earning的宾语,此处earn这一动作的实施者和承受者为同一人,空处应用he的反身代词形式,或用earn sth.表示“赢得某物,挣得某物”,把空处看作修饰名词fame的定语,用形容词性物主代词his。故填himself/his。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意:当人感染牛痘时,身体会产生一种特殊的细胞,称为抗体。空处是非谓语,作special cells的后置定语,call“称作”和special cells逻辑上是被动关系,因此用call的过去分词形式。故填called。
5.考查介词。句意:它们还会留在血液中,以防疾病再次来袭。结合“the disease ever returned”可知,此处应用固定搭配in case表示“以防”,引导目的状语从句。故填in。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意:由于牛痘和天花非常相似,如果一个人后来接触更严重的天花病毒,抗体也能迅速投入战斗。be ready to do sth.是固定短语,意为“准备好做某事”,空处应用fight“与……作斗争”的不定式形式。故填to fight。
7.考查状语从句。句意:如果身体日后遇到同样的病毒/当身体日后遇到同样的病毒时,哪怕病毒来势汹汹,抗体也能轻松消灭它们。前半句也可理解为是后半句发生的条件,空处可用从属连词if引导条件状语从句,意为“如果”;前半句可理解为和后半句同时发生,空处可用从属连词when引导时间状语从句,意为“当……的时候”,且空处位于句首,if或when的首字母均需大写。故填If/When。
8.考查名词的数。句意:如果身体日后遇到同样的病毒/当身体日后遇到同样的病毒时,哪怕病毒来势汹汹,抗体也能轻松消灭它们。空处作with的宾语,those后应用可数名词virus“病毒”的复数形式。故填viruses。
9.考查名词。句意:理想情况下,应在接触病毒前接种疫苗。空处作介词to的宾语,名词exposure符合题意,意为“接触”,是不可数名词。故填exposure。
10.考查副词。句意:但若在接触后3天内接种,仍能完全预防或大幅减轻天花症状;而在接触后4至7天内接种,也可能提供部分保护或减轻病情。空处修饰动词prevent,副词completely符合题意,意为“完全地”。故填completely。

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 6 (Xinhua) -- Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi were awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine on Monday for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance(外周免疫耐受).
"Their discoveries have been decisive for our understanding of how the immune system functions and why we do not all develop serious autoimmune diseases," said Olle Kampe, chair of the Nobel Committee.
The Nobel Assembly at Sweden's Karolinska Institute said the trio's work has had far-reaching clinical implications, paving the way for new treatments for autoimmune diseases and cancer, and potentially improving the success of transplantations.
Brunkow, born in 1961, is a senior program manager at the Institute for Systems Biology in the United States. Ramsdell, born in 1960, serves as a scientific advisor at Sonoma Biotherapeutics, also in the United States. Sakaguchi, born in 1951, is a professor at the Immunology Frontier Research Center of Osaka University in Japan.
The laureates will share the prize sum of 11 million Swedish kronor (about 1.17 million U.S. dollars).
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded since 1901. Last year's prize went to American scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for discovering microRNA and its role in gene regulation.

Passage1阅读理解
(2026·河南省百所名校高三上学期开学)
Most of us grow up believing that the colors we see around us form the complete palette (调色板) of the world. Yet a team of researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, has challenged that assumption by revealing a color that had never before entered human vision.
Ren Ng, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science, together with Austin Roorda, a professor of vision science, made this groundbreaking work possible. Their team developed an experimental platform named Oz, capable of stimulating individual photoreceptor cells (感光细胞) in the retina (视网膜) with extraordinary precision. Instead of merely presenting familiar shades, Oz creates signals in a way that generates entirely novel visual experiences.
The scientists likened their exploration to a journey into a brand-new territory. They found themselves face to face with something brilliant and wholly unfamiliar. By directing finely tuned laser beams onto M cone cells—the receptors typically associated with perceiving green—they discovered a color beyond anything nature provides. This striking new color was named “olo” by lead author James Carl Fong.
Ng admitted that he initially expected something like the “greenest green” imaginable. Instead, what appeared was a blue-green that didn’t match any standard color. Only five people have been able to witness it, because running Oz requires extreme precision and strict safety measures. The system must account for the eye’s constant micro-movements while keeping laser exposure within safe limits.
Far from being a mere curiosity, this discovery raises profound questions about human perception. If technology can find “olo”, how many other hidden colors might await discovery? Consider tetrachromacy (四色视觉), a rare condition enabling certain individuals—mostly women—to see hundreds of millions of colors invisible to most people. Ng wonders if a vast, unexplored area of color could exist beyond our current understanding where colors like “olo” are only the start.
1.What can we know about the Oz platform?
A.It generates artificial cells. B.It causes new colors to emerge.
C.It is named after its creator. D.It works like humans’ retinas.
2.What is special about the color “olo”?
A.It is a common color found in nature.
B.It is the greenest green that can be imagined.
C.It is a color that doesn’t match any standard one.
D.It can only be seen by people with tetrachromacy.
3.Why is tetrachromacy mentioned?
A.To describe how the Oz system operates.
B.To stress the unique vision power of women.
C.To explain the principle behind the experiment.
D.To illustrate the possibility of discovering unseen colors.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.A Breakthrough in Human Vision
B.How Did Scientists Find a New Cell?
C.The Discovery of a Never-Before-seen Color
D.Could There Be More Colors We Cannot See?

Passage2阅读理解
(2026·江西省吉安市上进联考红十校联盟高三上学期开学)
Parkinson’s law states: “Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.” In other words, things become harder to complete when more time is given to complete them as the build-up to the task becomes stressful and frightening.
Parkinson’s law is not a scientific principle. Instead, it is simply an observation of a phenomenon many people including scientists have experienced rather than dug into. As first described by CyrilNorthcote Parkinson in a 1955 humor essay published in The Economist, it can explain the expansion of organizations. However, it can also be a helpful way to think about other types of work, including personal productivity.
The complexity of a task tends to grow when more time is distributed for its completion. When you find yourself finishing the task, you might feel a sense of relief but also wonder why the project became so much more of a burden in your mind than it was in real life. The “extra time” that the task requires often isn’t related to the task itself — it’s mental stress caused by worrying about getting it done.
In Parkinson’s original example, a woman’s task for the day was just to mail a postcard. As a result of having the entire day to complete the simple task, the amount of work and time required expanded to fill the whole day. The fictional woman spent a half-hour searching for her reading glasses. Writing the postcard took another two hours. More time was spent finding a stamp, writing the address, and walking the postcard to the post office.
One reason why this phenomenon happens lies in how people tend to approach tasks. Research indicates that when people start a new project, they tend to focus on how much time they have available to do it instead of how much time the task would take to complete. While Parkinson’s law is a phenomenon that can lead to wasted time and inefficient work, it doesn’t have to be a problem if you’re aware of it.
5.Why does Parkinson’s law fail to be a scientific principle?
A.It lacks profound research. B.It serves certain enterprises.
C.It has shallow implications. D.It aims to uncover an issue.
6.What does paragraph 3 mainly discuss about Parkinson’s law?
A.Its present situation. B.Its underlying logic.
C.Its mental influence. D.Its unnoticed worth.
7.What does Parkinson’s original example imply?
A.Looking for glasses didn’t matter. B.Mailing a postcard took two hours.
C.Categorizing tasks consumed time. D.Task expands to fill available time.
8.What might be discussed in the follow-up text?
A.Views on deadline setting. B.Modes of task assignment.
C.Difficulties in high outputs. D.Tips for time management.
【长难句分析】
【文章原句】Research indicates that when people start a new project, they tend to focus on how much time they have available to do it instead of how much time the task would take to complete.
【句式分析】 这个句子是一个复合句,包含多个分句和修饰成分。that后是宾语从句,when people start a new project是宾语从句中的时间状语从句,how much time they have available to do it是宾语从句中的宾语从句,instead of前后是并列关系,how much time the task would take to complete仍然是宾语从句。
【翻译】研究表明,当人们开始一个新项目时,他们倾向于关注他们有多少时间去做它,而不是任务需要多少时间来完成。
Passage 3 阅读七选五
(2026·江苏省南京市六校联合体高三上学期8月学情调研考试)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
With data shaping everything from healthcare breakthroughs to the latest entertainment trends, data scientists are at the heart of some of the most exciting innovations happening right now. 1
In the simplest terms, data scientists are the problem-solvers of the digital age. They collect, analyze and interpret complex datasets to help businesses solve real-world problems. 2 Whether it’s uncovering hidden patterns in customer data, improving product quality or helping businesses make smarter decisions, data scientists are always deeply engaged in it.
Data scientists are highly skilled in coding. 3 It’s also used to automate repetitive tasks, freeing up time for more creative work. While not every task will involve coding, it’s still a core skill that enables data scientists to obtain insights efficiently and effectively. It’s the foundation upon which they build the models and tools that power business innovations.
4 With more and more data being generated every day, skilled data professionals are more popular than ever. This rapid growth is driven by the increasing need for data to inform smarter decision-making across every industry. Roles in the field span a wide range, including machine learning engineer, data analyst, quantitative researcher and business intelligence specialist.
With AI moving at lightning speed, it’s natural to wonder if data scientists could one day be replaced by AI. While AI can automate repetitive tasks like data preparation, it doesn’t have the critical thinking and strategic decision-making that human data scientists bring to the table. 5 If you have a passion for coding and get excited about turning data into real-world solutions, data science might just be your perfect match.
A.Are data scientists in demand?
B.Coding isn’t just for creating instructions.
C.The life of a data scientist is anything but dull.
D.They excel at turning raw data into actionable insights.
E.So, rather than replacing data scientists, AI will help them.
F.But what is it actually like to be a data scientist in today’s world?
G.However, their work could not always lead to practical solutions.

One of my 6 in becoming a scientist is Barbara McClintock. She has been awarded the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. At 25 she already had her PhD in botany and after that she started her 7 as the leader in the development of maize cytogenetics (玉米细胞遗传学) and she was 8 to that research for the rest of her life.
If I am lucky and given the 9 to achieve my ambition as a scientist, I want to be like Doctor McClintock. She 10 something that helped the other scientists 11 the thing about genetics that did not just help her generation but also the future generation.
I know I will be able to achieve my 12 as long as I put my heart and perseverance into it. If I am lucky enough to achieve my goal, I will share my 13 with all the kids who also love science and want to become scientists. My future will be as 14 as the stars in the night sky. My future is still far but I will make the most of all in the 15 to achieve my greatest ambition of becoming a scientist.

Passage 5 语法填空
(2025·甘肃省天水市模拟预测(B))
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Back in 1 late 1700s, long before people understood the reason behind immunity, farmers and doctors in rural areas of Britain noticed that dairymaids (挤奶女工) and other people who got a mild disease called cowpox (牛痘) seldom caught its fearsome cousin, smallpox (天花). Was there a connection? Some decided there was and inserted (嵌入的) material from the cowpox into an incision they cut on the arm of healthy people, thus somehow 2 (protect) them from smallpox. In 1798, a doctor named Edward Jenner published the results of his experiments using this procedure, earning 3 (he) fame as the “Father of Immunology”.
Scientists later figured out that cowpox somehow protected one from smallpox. When people caught cowpox, their bodies made special cells 4 (call) antibodies. They fought the disease. That’s not all. They stayed in the blood 5 case the disease ever returned. Because cowpox and smallpox are fairly similar, if a person was later exposed to the more serious disease, antibodies were ready 6 (fight) it too.
That knowledge helped scientists develop vaccines. The term vaccination originated from Latin. They contain the viruses, weakened, dead or modified (改良的). Injected into the blood, they trick the immune system into making antibodies. 7 the body ever meets with those same 8 (virus), even at full strength, the antibodies make short work of them.
Vaccination prior to 9 (expose) to the virus is ideal. But a vaccination given within three days of exposure will 10 (complete) prevent or significantly modify smallpox in the majority of people and given within the first four to seven days will likely offer some protection or soften the disease.
