Twenty-two years ago, I went to London on a special mission — talking about establishing a museum to celebrate the founder of genetics, Gregor Mendel. Suddenly, someone came in and told me I had won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly with Tim and Leland Hartwell, for our work on how cells control their division.
Suddenly you become a public character being asked to do all sorts of things: to give lectures, to sit on committees and reviews you are not always well qualified to be on. A big problem is that people think you have something sensible to say about nearly everything. Over time, a potential red flag is that you start to believe that perhaps you do know about nearly everything. This is a disease I’ve called “Nobelitis”, which I sincerely hope I have managed to avoid.
Within a year of getting the prize, I was offered and accepted the Presidency of Rockefeller University in New York. The Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of sciences, elected me president. The society traditionally elects accomplished researchers, which greatly helps it to be taken seriously when it gives scientific advice. Meanwhile, I became director of the Francis Crick Institute.
What about my research after the prize? Doing high-quality science depends on high-quality researchers. When you are young and are starting a new field, it’s not difficult to attract very good research colleagues because people like working with new researchers in exciting areas, but as you get older that can become more difficult. Having a Nobel Prize does help. I’ve just started three excellent new PhD students. It’s a privilege for me to be able to pursue curiosity-driven research at this late stage of my career.
Anyway, one thing I am glad to say that the Nobel Prize did not influence was peer review from my fellow scientists, responsible for assessing the suitability of my own research for publication, and my funding applications. My rejection rates have remained essentially the same before and after the prize. And that, of course, is exactly how it should be.
4. What was the author’s original aim of visiting London 22 years ago?
A. To honor a pioneer in science.
B. To attend Nobel Prize ceremony.
C. To promote the author’s work on cells.
D. To show gratitude to the author’s colleagues.
5. Which of the following can best explain “Nobelitis”?
A. A burning desire to win a Nobel Prize.
B. Being addicted to being a public character.
C. A Nobel Prize winner acting as a “Mr. Know-all”.
D. Being overconfident in a particular research field.
6. What do paragraph 3 and 4 mainly talk about?
A. How the author contributed to various institutes.
B. How the author balanced leadership and research.
C. How the Nobel Prize impacted the author’s career.
D. How the Nobel Prize enhanced the author’s reputation.
7. What does the author take comfort in after winning the Nobel Prize?
A. The ever-increasing public recognition.
B. The objective and fair evaluation from peers.
C. The closer cooperation with fellow scientists.
D. The easier accessibility of funding opportunities.
C
A small device no bigger than a toaster has generated oxygen on the surface of Mars, bringing the chances of surviving on the red planet a step closer.
The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, better known as Moxie, has been generating oxygen from the atmosphere on Mars, as part of NASA’s Perseverance rover (漫游者) mission.
Moxie produced breathable oxygen in seven hour-long tests conducted in various weather and atmosphere conditions since landing. During each test, the device produced six grams of oxygen, about the same as a small tree and enough to sustain an astronaut for 15 minutes. It’s also found that even in extreme temperatures and after a Martian dust storm, Moxie continued to produce high-purity oxygen.
“This is the first demonstration of actually using resources on the surface of another planet and transforming them chemically into something that would be useful for a human mission,” said Jeff Hoffinan, a retired astronaut and professor at MIT.
NASA and the MIT team are planning to build a bigger version of Moxie, as they hope advanced models will produce enough oxygen to support a crewed mission to Mars. “We have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth to support a human mission, but oxygen is a big problem. If you can make it there, go for it and you’re way ahead of the game,” Hoffinan said.
The device uses pumps that absorb in carbon dioxide which is heated to 800℃and processed to separate the carbon and oxygen. Carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) is emitted as waste while the pure oxygen is left behind.
Expanding the device to support a human mission to Mars presents challenges. It is needed to run continuously for 400 days, a leap from the one-hour tests and its inner temperature should be controlled stably. Moxie has proved to endure the extreme conditions on Mars, however, and the team plans to assess the machine’s limits in the coming months when atmosphere is thick and carbon dioxide levels are high. They say they just want to set everything as high as they dare and make as much oxygen as they can.
8. What can we learn about Moxie?
A It works well in a series of tests.
B. It is stopped by extreme conditions.
C. It aims to purify breathable oxygen.
D. It produces oxygen enough for a team.
9. What is the author’s purpose by quoting Hoffinan’s words in Paragraph 5?
A. To present a plan to further explore Mars.
B. To demonstrate Nasa’s ambition to win the game.
C. To show the plentiful and useful resources on Mars.
D. To highlight the significance of making oxygen on Mars.
10. Which of the following best describes the team according to the last paragraph?
A. Cautious and ambitious. B. Practical and independent.
C. Confident and intelligent. D. Courageous and imaginative.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Nasa Mars rover landed successfully.
B. Challenges for a human mission to Mars.
C. A little oxygen on Mars, a great leap forward.
D. Human beings survive with oxygen made on Mars.
D
Jade Benjamin-Chung, an assistant professor at the Stanford School of Medicine, worked with her coworkers to analyze the impact of hygiene (卫生) interventions on health outcomes in middle — and low-income Bangladeshi households. They found many common strategies used to protect children from disease weren’t as effective as expected. Feeling curious, Benjamin-Chung and her coworkers identified a potential reason.
Around 70% of rural homes in Bangladesh have soil-packed floors. As young kids eat and play on the floor, they often absorb tiny soil-based parasites (寄生虫) that spread disease. So they thought about the concrete floors, which could create a space easier to clean and reduce pathogen (病原体) spread.
Benjamin-Chung mentioned their idea to Sarah Billington, an expert on concrete and building materials from the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. When Billington heard the team’s idea of broadly replacing soil-packed floors with concrete, she worried the approach could have unintended consequences for the climate due to heavy carbon emissions (排放) from concrete production.
So Billington invited other Stanford experts into the fold to understand why concrete was effective in reducing pathogen spread and design low-emission concrete alternatives that kept those helpful properties. They wanted to develop a mix using materials that’ re easily found in countries like Bangladesh. Finally, one possible material was recycled fly ash, a byproduct of burning coal. The concrete mix was affordable, durable and produced fewer emissions. Then they did an experiment where they hardened concrete test tiles (砖) made with alternative “green” concrete and then some pathogens were put into the tiles to measure how well they survived on the surface.
The team’s findings suggest the pathogens have similar rates of survival on traditional concrete mix tiles and “green” alternative fly ash tiles. “This project could be a model for how to improve public health with sustainability baked in at the beginning,” said Benjamin-Chung.
12. What did Benjamin-Chung and her coworkers focus on initially?
A. The bad influences of concrete. B. Disease spread in the neighborhood.
C. Hygiene practices in specific families. D. Recycling methods of fly ash.
13. What made Billington invite other experts in?
A. Her lack of knowledge of pollution. B. Her worries about health outcomes.
C. Her struggle with pathogen resistance. D. Her concern about climate impacts.
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The alternative is effective at reducing disease spread.
B. Traditional concrete does more harm to people’s health.
C. The study helps reduce the cost of healthcare in Bangladesh.
D. The study offers good educational resources to medical schools.
15. What could be a suitable title for the text?
A. Strategies for Bangladeshi Public Health B. Sustainable Concrete for Healthier Homes
C. Hygiene Interventions in Low-income Homes D. Pathogens Spread through Building Materials

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a sunny Friday morning, Mr. Stone, the Grade 4 head teacher, walked into the classroom with a new student following him. She was a lively girl from Mexico, and her red mushroom hair cut immediately drew everyone’s eyes. With a welcoming smile, Mr. Stone gestured for her to sit beside Mike, a student known for teasing others.
During break time, Mike couldn’t help but laugh when he caught sight of his new deskmate. Sara’s distinctive hairstyle seemed like an open invitation for him to make fun of her. Leaning in towards Sara, he playfully suggested, “Hey, Sara. Ever thought about changing your name to Dora? You look just like Dora the Explorer!” His words caused laughter and cheers from the others in the classroom.
Sara’s eyes filled with tears, her cheeks turning red with embarrassment. Feeling hurt and upset, she stood up suddenly, rushing to the teacher’s office to seek support from Mr. Stone. After hearing her story, Mr. Stone offered her gentle comfort, saying, “Sara, your hairstyle is truly pretty. Remember, everyone has their own sense of beauty.”
Mr. Stone then directed his attention to Mike, expressing his disappointment and urging Mike to apologize to Sara. “Mike,” he continued, “your actions were unkind. We must treat everyone with empathy(同情). Laughing at Sara’s hair has deeply hurt her.”
This conflict was temporarily settled, but Mr. Stone found himself lost in thought. Reflecting on his own childhood, Mr. Stone recalled how he had been teased for being overweight. The pain caused by hurtful words was like wrinkles on a crumpled(压皱的)ball of paper. Even if you smoothed them out, the wrinkles stayed.
He wanted to teach an important lesson to Mike, the troublemaker. Then, a unique strategy came to mind. He contacted Mike’s mother, explaining the situation and discussing a plan with her to develop empathy in her son. They agreed that over the weekend, Mike’s mother would arrange for Mike to have his hair cut extremely short.
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。
On Monday morning, Mike unwillingly approached the classroom.

Twenty-two years ago, I went to London on a special mission — talking about establishing a museum to celebrate the founder of genetics, Gregor Mendel. Suddenly, someone came in and told me I had won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly with Tim and Leland Hartwell, for our work on how cells control their division.
Suddenly you become a public character being asked to do all sorts of things: to give lectures, to sit on committees and reviews you are not always well qualified to be on. A big problem is that people think you have something sensible to say about nearly everything. Over time, a potential red flag is that you start to believe that perhaps you do know about nearly everything. This is a disease I’ve called “Nobelitis”, which I sincerely hope I have managed to avoid.
Within a year of getting the prize, I was offered and accepted the Presidency of Rockefeller University in New York. The Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of sciences, elected me president. The society traditionally elects accomplished researchers, which greatly helps it to be taken seriously when it gives scientific advice. Meanwhile, I became director of the Francis Crick Institute.
What about my research after the prize? Doing high-quality science depends on high-quality researchers. When you are young and are starting a new field, it’s not difficult to attract very good research colleagues because people like working with new researchers in exciting areas, but as you get older that can become more difficult. Having a Nobel Prize does help. I’ve just started three excellent new PhD students. It’s a privilege for me to be able to pursue curiosity-driven research at this late stage of my career.
Anyway, one thing I am glad to say that the Nobel Prize did not influence was peer review from my fellow scientists, responsible for assessing the suitability of my own research for publication, and my funding applications. My rejection rates have remained essentially the same before and after the prize. And that, of course, is exactly how it should be.

A small device no bigger than a toaster has generated oxygen on the surface of Mars, bringing the chances of surviving on the red planet a step closer.
The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, better known as Moxie, has been generating oxygen from the atmosphere on Mars, as part of NASA’s Perseverance rover (漫游者) mission.
Moxie produced breathable oxygen in seven hour-long tests conducted in various weather and atmosphere conditions since landing. During each test, the device produced six grams of oxygen, about the same as a small tree and enough to sustain an astronaut for 15 minutes. It’s also found that even in extreme temperatures and after a Martian dust storm, Moxie continued to produce high-purity oxygen.
“This is the first demonstration of actually using resources on the surface of another planet and transforming them chemically into something that would be useful for a human mission,” said Jeff Hoffinan, a retired astronaut and professor at MIT.
NASA and the MIT team are planning to build a bigger version of Moxie, as they hope advanced models will produce enough oxygen to support a crewed mission to Mars. “We have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth to support a human mission, but oxygen is a big problem. If you can make it there, go for it and you’re way ahead of the game,” Hoffinan said.
The device uses pumps that absorb in carbon dioxide which is heated to 800℃and processed to separate the carbon and oxygen. Carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) is emitted as waste while the pure oxygen is left behind.
Expanding the device to support a human mission to Mars presents challenges. It is needed to run continuously for 400 days, a leap from the one-hour tests and its inner temperature should be controlled stably. Moxie has proved to endure the extreme conditions on Mars, however, and the team plans to assess the machine’s limits in the coming months when atmosphere is thick and carbon dioxide levels are high. They say they just want to set everything as high as they dare and make as much oxygen as they can.
8. What can we learn about Moxie?
A. It works well in a series of tests.
B. It is stopped by extreme conditions.
C. It aims to purify breathable oxygen.
D. It produces oxygen enough for a team.
9. What is the author’s purpose by quoting Hoffinan’s words in Paragraph 5?
A. To present a plan to further explore Mars.
B. To demonstrate Nasa’s ambition to win the game.
C. To show the plentiful and useful resources on Mars.
D. To highlight the significance of making oxygen on Mars.
10. Which of the following best describes the team according to the last paragraph?
A. Cautious and ambitious. B. Practical and independent.
C. Confident and intelligent. D. Courageous and imaginative.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Nasa Mars rover landed successfully.

Jade Benjamin-Chung, an assistant professor at the Stanford School of Medicine, worked with her coworkers to analyze the impact of hygiene (卫生) interventions on health outcomes in middle — and low-income Bangladeshi households. They found many common strategies used to protect children from disease weren’t as effective as expected. Feeling curious, Benjamin-Chung and her coworkers identified a potential reason.
Around 70% of rural homes in Bangladesh have soil-packed floors. As young kids eat and play on the floor, they often absorb tiny soil-based parasites (寄生虫) that spread disease. So they thought about the concrete floors, which could create a space easier to clean and reduce pathogen (病原体) spread.
Benjamin-Chung mentioned their idea to Sarah Billington, an expert on concrete and building materials from the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. When Billington heard the team’s idea of broadly replacing soil-packed floors with concrete, she worried the approach could have unintended consequences for the climate due to heavy carbon emissions (排放) from concrete production.
So Billington invited other Stanford experts into the fold to understand why concrete was effective in reducing pathogen spread and design low-emission concrete alternatives that kept those helpful properties. They wanted to develop a mix using materials that’ re easily found in countries like Bangladesh. Finally, one possible material was recycled fly ash, a byproduct of burning coal. The concrete mix was affordable, durable and produced fewer emissions. Then they did an experiment where they hardened concrete test tiles (砖) made with alternative “green” concrete and then some pathogens were put into the tiles to measure how well they survived on the surface.
The team’s findings suggest the pathogens have similar rates of survival on traditional concrete mix tiles and “green” alternative fly ash tiles. “This project could be a model for how to improve public health with sustainability baked in at the beginning,” said Benjamin-Chung.
12. What did Benjamin-Chung and her coworkers focus on initially?
A. The bad influences of concrete. B. Disease spread in the neighborhood.
C. Hygiene practices in specific families. D. Recycling methods of fly ash.
13. What made Billington invite other experts in?
A. Her lack of knowledge of pollution. B. Her worries about health outcomes.
C. Her struggle with pathogen resistance. D. Her concern about climate impacts.
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The alternative is effective at reducing disease spread.
B. Traditional concrete does more harm to people’s health.
C. The study helps reduce the cost of healthcare in Bangladesh.
D. The study offers good educational resources to medical schools.
15. What could be a suitable title for the text?
A. Strategies for Bangladeshi Public Health B. Sustainable Concrete for Healthier Homes
C. Hygiene Interventions in Low-income Homes D. Pathogens Spread through Building Materials
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B

【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“The team’s findings suggest the pathogens have similar rates of survival on traditional concrete mix tiles and “green” alternative fly ash tiles.(研究小组的发现表明,在传统的混凝土混合瓦和“绿色”替代粉煤灰瓦上,病原体的存活率相似)”可推断,新型的水泥混合板在减少疾病传播方面一样有效。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“So they thought about the concrete floors, which could create a space easier to clean and reduce pathogen (病原体) spread.(所以他们想到了混凝土地板,这样可以创造一个更容易清洁的空间,减少病原体的传播)”以及本文主要介绍的是与世界上一些农村地区常见的泥土地面不同,混凝土地面可减少携带疾病的病原体——但它们的成本很高,且对环境有害。一种低碳混合板块可以提供解决这一问题。故B项“可持续混凝土打造更健康的家园”适合作本文标题。故选B。

【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:呼伦贝尔草原是一个幅员辽阔的地区,风景秀丽,植物茂盛,周围有许多河流和湖泊,就像一幅巨大的绿色画卷,让你一望无际。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是Hulun Buir Grassland,且从句缺少主语,因此填which,引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意:呼伦贝尔这个名字的意思是“湖泊和河流之地”,追溯到很久以前的一个传说。结合句意和空前的means可知,本句用一般现在时,且本句主语是The name Hulun Buir,为第三人称单数,因此谓语动词也用第三人称单数形式dates。date back to“追溯到”,为固定短语。故填dates。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意:是中国保存最完好的草原,被公认为“草原王国”。本句中的the best-preserved grassland in China和recognized as “The Grass Kingdom是并列关系,故用连词and连接。故填and。
【39题详解】
考查原因状语从句。句意:呼伦贝尔草原拥有中国最丰富、最优良的牧场,因为那里几乎没有任何污染,所以也被称为“最纯净的草原”。空后there is hardly any pollution there为空前Hulun Buir Grassland also has the name The Purest Grassland的原因,故用because引导原因状语从句。故填because。
【40题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:它的动物产品,如肉、奶、皮革和羊毛,深受国内外人民的喜爱。结合句意可知,本句陈述事实,故句子用一般现在时,且本句主语Its animal products和favor是被动关系,故填are favored,构成一般现在时的被动语态。故填are favored。
【41题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:在成千上万条河流的灌溉下,草原在蓝天白云下呈现出一片绿色的地毯。本句主语是grassland,宾语也是grassland,因此宾语用反身代词itself,意为“它自己”,present oneself as“呈现出……”。故填itself。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:你可以骑骆驼和马,看摔跤和赛马,享受篝火晚会,充分领略游牧民族独特的生活方式。分析句子结构可知,本题用副词fully“充分地”,修饰动词appreciated,作状语。故填fully。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:该地区的地理位置使其在夏天温暖宜人,而在冬天寒冷多雪。本空和 and前面的形容词pleasant并列,因此本空也用形容词snowy“多雪的”。故填snowy。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在夏天,草地被一层五颜六色的野花覆盖。blanket“毯子”,为可数名词,故填冠词a。a blanket of“一层”,固定短语。故填a。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a sunny Friday morning, Mr. Stone, the Grade 4 head teacher, walked into the classroom with a new student following him. She was a lively girl from Mexico, and her red mushroom hair cut immediately drew everyone’s eyes. With a welcoming smile, Mr. Stone gestured for her to sit beside Mike, a student known for teasing others.
During break time, Mike couldn’t help but laugh when he caught sight of his new deskmate. Sara’s distinctive hairstyle seemed like an open invitation for him to make fun of her. Leaning in towards Sara, he playfully suggested, “Hey, Sara. Ever thought about changing your name to Dora? You look just like Dora the Explorer!” His words caused laughter and cheers from the others in the classroom.
Sara’s eyes filled with tears, her cheeks turning red with embarrassment. Feeling hurt and upset, she stood up suddenly, rushing to the teacher’s office to seek support from Mr. Stone. After hearing her story, Mr. Stone offered her gentle comfort, saying, “Sara, your hairstyle is truly pretty. Remember, everyone has their own sense of beauty.”
Mr. Stone then directed his attention to Mike, expressing his disappointment and urging Mike to apologize to Sara. “Mike,” he continued, “your actions were unkind. We must treat everyone with empathy(同情). Laughing at Sara’s hair has deeply hurt her.”
This conflict was temporarily settled, but Mr. Stone found himself lost in thought. Reflecting on his own childhood, Mr. Stone recalled how he had been teased for being overweight. The pain caused by hurtful words was like wrinkles on a crumpled(压皱的)ball of paper. Even if you smoothed them out, the wrinkles stayed.
He wanted to teach an important lesson to Mike, the troublemaker. Then, a unique strategy came to mind. He contacted Mike’s mother, explaining the situation and discussing a plan with her to develop empathy in her son. They agreed that over the weekend, Mike’s mother would arrange for Mike to have his hair cut extremely short.
注意:

At that moment, Mr. Stone walked into the classroom with a ball of paper.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】On Monday morning, Mike unwillingly approached the classroom. Feeling nervous and embarrassed, his heart was heavy with worry that his classmates would tease him. His hair had been cut so short that the skin under the hair was nearly visible. As he stepped through the door,the room erupted in giggles, nicknaming him “Baldy.” A few curious boys came up and attempted to touch his newly shaved head. Overwhelmed by shame and anger, Mike shouted out, “You are mean!” Tears welled up in his eyes as Mike stood up and ran towards the door.
At that moment, Mr. Stone walked into the classroom with a ball of paper. With a gentle pat on Mike’s shoulder, he guided him back to his seat. As Mr. Stone made his way to the platform, the room fell silent. Holding up the crumpled ball of paper, he began to smooth out its wrinkles. “Each fold represented a scar of hurtful words. Even when we try to apologize,” Mr. Stone explained softly, “the wounds remain. Let us always speak with kindness and warmth.” From that day on, Mike learned a valuable lesson: the importance of kindness and empathy.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了小学四年级的班主任Mr. Stone在一次课间休息时发现新学生Sara被同学Mike因为发型而嘲笑,感到伤心。Mr. Stone不仅安慰了Sara,还教育了Mike要尊重他人,对Mike进行了深刻的反思,想起自己童年也曾因体重被嘲笑。为了帮助Mike理解别人的感受,Mr. Stone与Mike的母亲合作,计划让Mike体验被嘲笑的滋味,通过这种方式培养他的同理心。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“星期一早上,Mike不情愿地走近教室。”可知,第一段可描写他走进教室后被同学们嘲笑,还有同学给他起外号,他羞愧且愤怒的跑出教室。
②由第二段首句内容“就在这时,Mr. Stone先生拿着一团纸走进了教室。”可知,第二段可描写引导Mike回到座位,用褶皱的纸形象的说明伤人的话语对人造成的伤害,以及Mike的感悟。
2.续写线索:走进教室——嘲笑——羞愧——跑出教室——回到座位——褶皱的纸——伤人的话语——宝贵一课——感悟
