Here’s a look at who has won the prize and for what. Physiology or Medicine Swedish geneticist Svante Peabo won the first Nobel of the year, for starting the field of ancient DNA studies. He is well-known for extracting, sequencing, and analyzing ancient DNA from Neanderthal bones. Physics Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger’s work in quantum (量子) technology landed them the second Nobel Prize announced in 2022. Although Aspect is from France, Clauser from the U.S, and Zeilinger from Austria, the three separately performed “groundbreaking experiments” as one team. “Their results have cleared the way for new technology,” the committee stated. Chemistry The Nobel Prize for chemistry went to another trio, Carolyn R. Bertozzi from the U.S., Morten Meldal from Denmark and K. Barry Sharpless from the U.S. “for the development of click chemistry and biorthogonal chemistry,” the committee stated. Dr. Bertozzi is the eighth woman chemist to be awarded the prize, while Dr. Sharpless is the fifth scientist to be awarded two Nobel Prizes. Economics The Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded to three American economists, Ben S. Bernanke, Douglas W. Diamond and Philip H. Dybvig “for research on banks and financial crises,” the Nobel Prize committee announced on Monday. By studying the history of American economics, particularly the Great Depression of the 1930s,they improved how we understand the role of banks during times of hardship and the bank’s impact on societal functions. 21．What prize is related to the research with bones? A．Physiology. B．Chemistry. C．Physics. D．Economics. 22．For what study did Ben S. Bernanke, Douglas W. Diamond and Philip H. Dybvig win the prize? A．About societal functions. B．About the history of America. C．About banks and financial crises. D．About the Great Depression of the 1930s. 23．What do the prizes for physics, chemistry and economics have in common? A．Their winners are from different countries. B．They have three winners. C．They improve new technology. D．They help people understand hardship. “How can you be okay with living in a country so far away and so different?” “The language is so hard. How are you going to be able to find your way around?” These are the most common questions I heard after I told people I was going to study abroad in China, a country that seemed so far away. Why risk dealing with that when Paris or London would be so much more accessible? But a part of studying abroad is about embracing (欣然接受) the inaccessible. I took Chinese in high school and fell in love with it. Ever since I started college, I was determined to study in China. Three years later, I made it happen. Of course, it was not easy. At the airport, people spoke English so I didn’t worry too much about finding my way around. And then I met other foreign students who would become my best friends for five straight months. But once leaving the airport and downtown areas, we were fully immersed (沉浸) in China. I lived in a more suburb-like (类似城郊的) area, more residential than the rest of Shanghai. People always looked at us curiously as we went about our days and few of them spoke English. It was awkward at first. Slowly, as we got more used to the language, people talked with us. Of course, they wanted to know the differences between living in America and living in China. My roommate studied abroad in Ireland last semester while I was in China. There is nothing wrong with going to Europe, but if you want to broaden your horizons, I would suggest looking elsewhere. Living in a place that is so different from what I am used to gives me valuable experiences I can’ t get any other way. My Chinese teacher was so amazing and patient with us, and my other Chinese friends helped me through the difficult part of feeling out of place in the unknown. In a strange way, not being able to express everything I want brings me closer to people. 24．How did people feel when knowing the author’ s decision? A．Excited. B．Puzzled. C．Appreciated. D．Disappointed. 25．When did the author fall in love with Chinese? A．When she started college. B．When she was in high school. C．Three years after she went to college. D．The third year she studied in China. 26．What do we learn about the author’ s experience in China? A．She failed to get on with other foreign students. B．She once had difficulty finding her way to college. C．She spent little time sightseeing in the rest of Shanghai. D．She was uncomfortable with people’ s curious stares at first. 27．What might the author agree with according to the last paragraph? A．Language won’t be a problem for making friends. B．It isn’t wise for her roommate to study in Ireland. C．Her English-speaking friends make China a place of comfort. D．Nations need to clear up misunderstandings between each other. B Scientists have developed a new type of smart bandage that can signal the type of bacterial infection it’s protecting，just like a traffic light，as well as release the right type of drugs on demand.The traffic light system works just like this: Green means no bacteria or a low concentration of bacteria，yellow means drug-sensitive (DS) bacteria responsive to standard antibiotics(抗生素) and causes antibiotic release，and red means drug-resistant (DR) bacteria that need extra help to be wiped out. In testing the bandage on mice，the research team was able to successfully treat both DS and DR infections using the new method.The common methods of sensing resistance are limited by time-consuming，the requirement for professional personnel，and expensive instruments.Moreover，the abuse of antibiotics causes the accelerated process of bacterial resistance. It’s easy to see how a simple bandage and light could overcome some of these limitations.Treatment doesn’t have to wait for a doctor to make a diagnosis，and the bandage can get the right sort of drugs applied at the earliest opportunity.What’s more，the person wearing the bandage gets real-time feedback on what’s happening with the infection，if there’s an infection at all.The researchers say it offers numerous benefits over existing treatments that make use of light. We’ve been seeing quite a few upgrades to the traditional bandage in recent years，thanks to advances in science—like the nanofibre mesh(纳米纤维网) that attracts bacteria and draws some of it out，speeding up the healing process.Then there’s the novel bandage for treating burns，which stops bacteria from multiplying and lowers the risk of infection. The more work that a bandage can do while it’s protecting a wound，the better.Efforts to improve bandages continue and now we’ve got a bandage that not only releases antibiotics，but also tells the patient exactly what’s going on too. 28．Which of the following advantages is NOT mentioned for the smart bandage? A．It prevents bacterial resistance. B．Much time and cost can be saved. C．Bacterial infections can be detected soon. D．Antibiotic can be released if a DS light shows. 29．What can we infer from the third paragraph? A．The advantages of the new bandage outweigh those of traditional ones. B．A person with the smart bandage can cure himself of any wound. C．Doctors can make a diagnosis with the help of the new bandage. D．The new smart bandage still has a lot of drawbacks. 30．What does the underlined word “novel” mean in the fourth paragraph? A．Useful. B．New. C．Virtual. D．Fashionable. 31．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Prevention of Abuse of Antibiotics B．A Successful Test on Bacterial Infection C．Introduction to a Color-Changing Bandage D．A New Treatment on Drug-Resistance Bacteria You probably get your eyes tested to protect your sight, maybe have a yearly hearing test to check your ears—but, protecting your nose ... eh? Recent research has discovered more than 600 genes in the human body associated with the sense of smell and that it’s actually important to the human body. Smell can help keep us alive by warning us of dangers such as food that might make us sick or the threat of fire, and it does this within only 100—150 milliseconds of breathing. “Smell also helps create the flavour of food and plays a role in controlling the variety of our diet and the nutrients we consume,” says Jeanne Hort, a professor at News Zealand’s Massey University. In fact, each of us has a unique sense of smell and the strength of our unique smell is related to the genes you inherit(遗传) from your parents which determine which smell receptors(感受器) are expressed in the nose. Other factors further determine how sensitive your sense of smell is. Women generally have a stronger sense of smell than men, while damage from air pollution means people who live in highly polluted cities have a less sensitive sense of smell than those in rural areas. “We also know the sense of smell declines with age,” says Professor Hort. “And if you’ve damaged your nose through head injury, illness or breathing in something that causes pain and discomfort, your sense of smell can also be negatively affected.” Protecting your nose from such damage is therefore the first step in activating your sense of smell. Avoid breathing in strong scents like chemicals. Then, keep your nose busy. For example, sniff(唉) vegetables and fruit as part of determining ripeness before you buy them and sniff more different smells exposed to your nose. “The sense of smell is a bit like a muscle, you can train it to become stronger by exercising it,” says sensory expert Eugeni Roura. 32． Why does the author mention eye and ear protection in paragraph 1? A．To compare different human senses. B．To call attention to the sense of smell. C．To clarify the concept of good health. D．To show the importance of medical exams. 33． What does paragraph 2 focus on? A．The advice on healthy eating. B．The basic functions of the nose. C．The important role of smell in life. D．The ways to avoid hidden dangers. 34． Which of the following would the author most probably agree with? A．There is sex difference in terms of smell. B．The sense of smell doesn’t change with age. C．Smell receptors decide the strength of smell. D．Air pollution is very likely to cause loss of smell. 35． What does the quote from Eugeni Roura imply? A．It is essential to protect your nose from damage. B．Different parts of your body sometimes work the same. C．Sniffing different smells helps to build up your strength. D．The more you use the sense of smell, the more you sharpen it. Five Subtle Behaviors To Make People Like You It looks like you like someone. Are you thinking if there are some little things you can do to get them to notice you a bit more? Here are five subtle behaviors to make people notice you and like you more. ●Don’t be afraid to talk about your flaws(缺陷). A psychological phenomenon states that if you are seen as very competent, making a mistake makes you more likable than those other very competent people who don’t show their mistakes or flaws. 36 So, it’s not a bad thing if you do show your flaws once in a while. ●Keep their secrets and share one of yours. 37 Or are you horrible at keeping them? A 2009 study by researchers found that trust is a big deal in a relationship. One way you can show you trust someone early on is to tell them a small secret of yours. This may just bring you closer. ●Mirror your partner’s gestures and behavior. If you’re often subconsciously mirroring the gestures and movements of your partners, this could make them like you a bit more. Why? 38 ●Show them you like them. If you like someone and want to be friends, or perhaps more than friends, let them know you like them. 39 And then they may just like you back. ●Display open body language and build your confidence. Displaying confident behavior is often seen as an attractive quality. One way you can seem more confident is to display open body language. Keep your chest and torso (躯干) open. 40 Closed body language can give people the impression you aren’t available or simply don’t want to talk. 【选项】 A．Do you keep secrets? B．Do you hate small talks? C．Availability is key in making friends. D．And try not to cross your arms as much. E．People tend to like people who are like them. F．This may get them to start thinking of you more. G．People can sometimes be frightened by people who seem to have no flaws. 三、完形填空（本大题共1小题） My mother turned ninety. I knew I needed to find a senior 41 center. Not for her — for me.

Naturally I was curious, so I went towards the truck when I noticed that there was a small little goat that wasn’t even an adult yet. I asked my dad and he said that he bought the goat from his friend and he was going to kill it twenty minutes after he brought it home so that we would have a big meal. My sister was there too and she was strongly for my view. We found out we got really mad at my dad and told him not to kill it. After about 10 minutes of complaining we finally convinced my dad not to kill it because we told him that there was no reason for him to kill the goat himself when he could just buy goat meat at a store. My parents know some friends that we visit sometimes and their family really likes animals so we decided to give it to them. For about a month, they had the goat as a pet and they also had the same problems as we had because the dad wanted to kill it and eat it but the rest of the family didn’t want it to die.They also were able to persuade him not to do so. They ended up sending the goat to a family member’s farm where it would grow up happily. Another thing that has happened to influence my belief is that I have a neighbor that really likes hunting.  One day he hunted a deer and brought the body home, but he decided to leave it outside his house for everyone to see. He just left it there as if it were some kind of award that he just won. Sadly little kids started to make fun of the body and pretended to ride on it. They laughed at it and felt no problem with there being a dead deer just laying. Paragraph 1： I felt sick by what was happening and left because of what I had just witnessed._ Paragraph 2： It amazes me how we have changed from hunting to survive to hunting for sport._ 参考答案 一、听力选择题 1．【答案】A 【听力材料】M: What’s your plan for the weekend, Liu Ying?

There is nothing wrong with going to Europe, but if you want to broaden your horizons, I would suggest looking elsewhere. Living in a place that is so different from what I am used to gives me valuable experiences I can’ t get any other way. My Chinese teacher was so amazing and patient with us, and my other Chinese friends helped me through the difficult part of feeling out of place in the unknown. In a strange way, not being able to express everything I want brings me closer to people.(上学期我在中国的时候，我的室友在爱尔兰留学。去欧洲没有错，但如果你想开阔视野，我建议你去别的地方看看。生活在一个与我习惯的地方如此不同的地方给了我宝贵的经验，这是其他任何方式都无法获得的。我的中文老师对我们很好，很有耐心，我的其他中国朋友帮助我度过了在未知环境中感到不适应的困难时期。以一种奇怪的方式，不能表达我想要的一切让我更接近人们)”可推知，根据最后一段，作者可能会认同语言对交朋友来说不是问题。故选A。 【答案】28．A　29．A　30．B　31．C 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新型智能绷带，它可以像红绿灯一样发出细菌感染类型的信号，并根据需要释放正确类型的药物。 【详解】28．细节理解题。第一段中的“yellow means drug-sensitive (DS) bacteria...and causes antibiotic release”对应D项；根据第二段中的“The common methods of sensing resistance are limited by...expensive instruments.”和第三段内容可知B、C符合文意，所以A选项“它能预防细菌耐药性”没有被提到。故选A。 29．推理判断题。根据第三段尤其是最后一句可推断，这款新型绷带优于传统绷带。故选A。 30．词义猜测题。根据上文“We've been seeing quite a few upgrades...speeding up the healing process.”可推断，此处是在介绍绷带技术的进步，故画线词所在句意思是“还有一种治疗烧伤的新型绷带，它可以阻止细菌繁殖，降低感染的风险。”所以novel意为“新的”。故选B。 31．标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第一段可知，文章主要介绍了一种新型的可变色智能绷带。故选C。 【答案】 32． B 33． C 34． A 35． D 【分析】 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了嗅觉的重要性，它受到哪些因素的影响，以及如何提高嗅觉的敏锐性。 【详解】 32． 推理判断题。根据一段的“but, protecting your nose ... eh? Recent research has discovered more than 600 genes in the human body associated with the sense of smell and that it’s actually important to the human body.(但是，你的鼻子的保护呢……？最近的研究发现，人体中有600多个基因与嗅觉有关，而嗅觉对人体非常重要。)”推知，第一段提到人们对眼睛和耳朵的保护是为了唤起人们对嗅觉的关注。故选B。 33． 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Smell can help keep us alive by warning us of dangers such as food that might make us sick or the threat of fire, and it does this within only 100—150 milliseconds of breathing. ‘Smell also helps create the flavour of food and plays a role in controlling the variety of our diet and the nutrients we consume,’ says Jeanne Hort, a professor at News Zealand’s Massey University.(嗅觉可以通过警告我们可能使我们生病的食物或火灾威胁等危险来帮助我们生存，而它在呼吸的100至150毫秒内就能做到这一点。新西兰梅西大学教授Jeanne Hort说：“嗅觉还有助于创造食物的味道，并在控制我们饮食的多样性和摄入的营养方面发挥作用。”)”可知，本段主要介绍了嗅觉在生活中的重要性。故选C。 34． 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Women generally have a stronger sense of smell than men(女性的嗅觉通常比男性更强)”推知，作者认为嗅觉存在性别差异。故选A。 35． 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The sense of smell is a bit like a muscle, you can train it to become stronger by exercising it(嗅觉有点像肌肉，你可以通过锻炼来训练它，让它变得更强壮)”推知，Eugeni Roura的话表明，嗅觉被使用得越多，就会越敏锐。故选D。 【点睛】 在做主旨大意题时，可以采用排除法来提高解题速度和准确率。首先排除那些与文章主题不符的选项，然后进一步缩小选择范围。本题第二小题，根据文章原文可以先排除A、D两个选项。再根据原文中Jeanne Hort的话“Smell also helps create the flavour of food and plays a role in controlling the variety of our diet and the nutrients we consume(嗅觉还有助于创造食物的味道，并在控制我们饮食的多样性和摄入的营养方面发挥作用)”可知这一段介绍了嗅觉基本功能以外的用途，也就是嗅觉在生活中的重要性。故选C。 【答案】 36．G； 37．A； 38．E； 39．F； 40．D 【分析】 本文是一篇说明文。介绍了让人们喜欢你的五种微妙行为。 36． 根据上文“A psychological phenomenon states that if you are seen as very competent, making a mistake makes you more likable than those other very competent people who don’t show their mistakes or flaws. (一种心理现象表明，如果你被视为非常有能力，犯一个错误会让你比那些没有表现出错误或缺点的非常有能力的人更受欢迎)”可知，表现出自己的缺点或错误会让别人觉得你更容易接近，如果没有一点缺点，会让人觉得不容易接受。G项“人们有时会被似乎没有缺点的人吓坏”符合题意，且引出下文“So, it’s not a bad thing if you do show your flaws once in a while.(所以，如果你偶尔表现出你的缺点，这不是一件坏事)”，形成明显的转折关系。故选G。 37． 根据下文“Or are you horrible at keeping them?(还是你很讨厌留着它们？)”中的or可知，上文也是一个问句，再结合小标题“Keep their secrets and share one of yours.(保守他们的秘密，也分享你的秘密)”可知，A项“你保守秘密吗？”符合题意，贴合本段主旨，且下文的them指代选项中的secrets。故选A。 38． 根据上文“If you’re often subconsciously mirroring the gestures and movements of your partners, this could make them like you a bit more. Why?(如果你经常下意识地模仿搭档的手势和动作，这可能会让他们更喜欢你。为什么？)”可知，下文应对模仿搭档的手势和动作会让他们更喜欢你的原因。E项“人们倾向于喜欢与他们相似的人”符合题意。故选E。 39． 根据上文“If you like someone and want to be friends, or perhaps more than friends, let them know you like them.(如果你喜欢某人并且想成为朋友，或者可能不仅仅是朋友，让他们知道你喜欢他们)”可知，下文应陈述让别人知道你喜欢他们的结果。F项“这可能会让他们开始更多地想你”符合题意，选项中的this指代上文“让他们知道你喜欢他们”这件事。故选F。 40． 根据小标题“Display open body language and build your confidence.(展现开放的肢体语言，建立自信)”可知，本段主要介绍通过肢体语言让别人喜欢自己。D项“尽量不要交叉双臂”符合本段主旨。故选D。 三、完形填空 【答案】 41．B     42．D     43．A     44．C     45．B     46．C     47．D     48．A     49．D     50．C     51．A     52．D     53．B     54．A     55．B 【详解】 〖导语〗本文是一篇记叙文。作者在自己的母亲90岁时，打算找一家老年人健身中心——不是为母亲而是为自己找。作者希望自己活到90岁的时候能够健健康康地、好好地享受生活。在参加健身中心的有氧课程后，作者收获了比身体健康更重要的东西； 41．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我知道我需要找一个老年人健身中心。A. leisure闲暇；B. fitness健康；C. community社区；D. learning学习。根据下文提到的“I would want to stay in shape”“walking”“aerobics (有氧运动) classes”等信息可推断出，此处表示作者需要找一家老年人健身中心。fitness center“健身中心”。故选B； 42．考查动词词义辨析。句意：如果我在她这个年龄，我会想保持身材享受生活，获得很多乐趣。A. change改变；B. remember记住；C. wait等待；D. enjoy享受。根据下文的“getting a lot of pleasure”可知，此处表示作者希望自己到了母亲那个年龄还能保持健康好好享受生活。故选D； 43．考查名词词义辨析。句意：在当地公园散步是我的日常惯例，但我没有以前那么活跃了。A. routine惯例；B. aim目标；C. challenge挑战，钦佩；D. plan计划。由第三段的“in daily walks”可知，作者每天都散步。所以可以推断出，此处表示在公园散步是作者的日常惯例。故选A； 44．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：你有适合老年人的健美操课吗？A. attached附着的；B. familiar熟悉的；C. appropriate合适的；D. vital至关重要的。根据上文的“Not for her — for me”和下文的“suiting me fine”可知，此处表示作者打电话询问有没有适合老年人的有氧课程。故选C； 45．考查动词词义辨析。句意：“当然。过来看看吧！我们上午10点开始，”接待员回答并邀请道。A. comforted安慰；B. invited邀请；C. promised承诺；D. welcomed欢迎。上文提到“Come and check us out!”，即接待员让作者过去了解一下他们的情况，下文“The next morning, I went there”提到作者第二天去了那家健身中心。由语境可以推断出，此处表示接待员发出邀请。故选B； 46．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我有一点担心课程太容易，对我没有任何用处。A. sure注确定；B. disappointed失望的；C. anxious担忧的；D. hopeful有希望的。由下文的“The other part feared it was too hard”可知，另一方面，作者担心课程太难。由语境可推知，空处所在部分应与后面一句形成对比，表示一方面作者担心课程太简单，对自己没用。故选C； 47．考查动词短语辨析。句意：另一部分担心我很难跟上。A. make up for弥补；B. look down on轻视；C. get down to开始；D. keep up with跟上。根据上文“The other part feared it was too hard”可知，作者担心课程太难自己跟不上。故选D； 48．考查动词词义辨析。句意：当我走进房间时，一位女士向我打招呼：“哦，你是新来的。欢迎。”A. greeted打招呼；B. recognized意识到；C. helped帮助；D. introduced介绍。根据下文的“Oh, you’re new.

They didn’t think they were doing wrong and that they were to blame for that. A month later, I found out that my neighbors’ daughter wanted to hunt when she got older because she thought it was “fun”， which bothered me greatly. Paragraph 2： It amazes me how we have changed from hunting to survive to hunting for sport. I just don’t think there is any reason to kill a living thing for fun. This just leads people to hunt animals.And even the small little goat is endangered because people start to think that there’s nothing wrong with killing a life as long as it’s not a human. If there’s one thing I beg you to do, it’s to be open­minded towards animals not just to humans and don’t kill for sport. 【详解】 〖导语〗本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者父亲带回一头羊，准备杀掉它，作者和姐姐劝说父亲，救下了山羊，并把山羊送到农场，让山羊能快乐地长大，然后作者通过邻居猎杀一头鹿的事，让作者感悟希望人类能不会为了娱乐去猎杀动物。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我对所发生的一切感到恶心，并因为我刚刚目睹的一切离开了。”可知，第一段可描写作者对周围的人认为猎杀动物是应当的，而感到很困恼。 ②由第二段首句内容“让我惊讶的是，我们如何从狩猎生存到狩猎运动。”可知，第二段可描写作者对因为娱乐而去猎杀动物的反感，以及期望不要为了娱乐而猎杀。 2. 续写线索：父亲带回羊——救下羊——邻居展示猎杀的鹿——周围的人感到正常——作者感到反感——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①认为：think/consider ②变得：get/grow/become ③开始；start/begin ④恳求：beg/plead/ appeal 情绪类 ①有趣：fun/enjoyment/pleasure ②错误的：wrong/incorrect/wicked 【点睛】[高分句型1]They didn’t think they were doing wrong and that they were to blame for that.(that引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2]And even the small little goat is endangered because people start to think that there’s nothing wrong with killing a life as long as it’s not a human.(because引导的原因状语从句以及as long as引导的条件状语从句) 第 page number 页，共 number of pages 页 第 1 页 共 21 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $Hello, everyone.
