When asked how physics could become more exciting for kids, Greene said that books by Stephen Weinberg, Leonard Susskind, and other physicists, make it a great time for people who want to learn about big ideas but aren't yet ready, perhaps, to learn maths. When I pointed out that some students still might find physics boring, Greene said that the key is to teach them about things that are strange.“The basic stuff is important，” Greene said.“But I think it's really important to also describe the more modern ideas, things like black holes and the Big Bang.If kids have those ideas in mind, then at least some of them will be excited to learn all the details.” Greene has followed Albert Einstein's lead in trying to solve the mysteries of the universe.Now he wants kids to do the same.As Greene said, physics is “not just a matter of solving problems in an exam”．It's about experimenting, showing an interest in strange phenomena — and having fun! 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。物理学家Brian Greene希望更多的孩子能对现代物理学感兴趣。 1．A million­dollar question is probably very ________. A．direct　　　　　　　　 B．difficult C．personal D．long 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第二段中Greene对这个问题的解释以及他说需要未来的物理学家去解决可知，作者提出的这个问题非常难。 2．The books by Weinberg, Susskind and other physicists ________. A．are boring to read B．are mainly about maths C．are popular science books D．are only popular among kids 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“ ...make it a great time for people who want to learn about big ideas but aren't yet ready, perhaps, to learn maths”可知，Greene认为Weinberg和Susskind等物理学家写的书浅显易懂，适合普通大众阅读，故这些书属于科普读物。 3．According to paragraph 4, which of the following does Greene agree with? A．Modern physics is a boring subject. B．Interest plays an important role in studying. C．It is not necessary to learn all about physics. D．It is easy to describe black holes and the Big Bang. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第四段可知，当作者指出一些学生觉得物理无聊时，Greene说重要的是向孩子们讲述一些稀奇古怪的事以引起他们的兴趣。因此他认为兴趣在学习过程中起着非常重要的作用。 4．In the last paragraph, Greene hopes that ________. A．kids can love science and physics B．kids can do well in physics exams C．kids can have fun with experiments D．kids can find more strange things in life 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据最后一段的前两句可知，Greene希望孩子们可以像他一样对科学和物理感兴趣，去探索宇宙的奥秘。 A major scientific achievement has been recognized with the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.This award was given to a team using machine learning to solve a big problem in biology：predicting and designing the 3D shapes of proteins.Most of this work was done at a tech company, marking a notable shift that high­level scientific research can also originate outside traditional academic settings. Proteins are crucial for our bodies and are involved in almost every biological process.The shape of a protein determines its function.If a protein is shaped incorrectly, it can cause serious diseases like Alzheimer's and diabetes.Historically, predicting a protein's shape from its amino acid sequence (序列) was very difficult and puzzled scientists for decades. The breakthrough happened with A­Fold, a machine learning program that can accurately predict protein structures from their amino acid sequences.This tool has changed the field, providing insights into the structure of over 200 million proteins so far.This data is expected to speed up progress in medicine and drug development, opening new ways to treat diseases. The tech company's success with A­Fold also underscores the growing impact of artificial intelligence in various scientific domains, showing that AI can tackle complex biological problems and contribute to critical advancements in health and medicine. The Nobel Prize committee awarded this work to highlight the value of combining different areas in science, where technology and biology meet to create amazing results.This achievement not only shows what AI can do but also sets an example for future scientific projects that combine technology with traditional research to address global problems. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一个团队因开发AI预测和设计蛋白质结构而荣获诺贝尔化学奖。 5．Why was the team awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry? A．They discovered a cure for Alzheimer's and diabetes. B．They analyzed the functions of essential body elements. C．They worked out protein structures with a machine learning program. D．They created a new way to treat diseases through traditional research. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第一段中“This award was given to a team using machine learning to solve a big problem in biology：predicting and designing the 3D shapes of proteins.”可知，该团队使用机器学习程序解决了蛋白质结构的问题。 6．Why is the shape of a protein critical to its function? A．It leads to the development of the diseases. B．It offers insights into the structure of protein. C．It speeds up the progress of medicine and drug. D．It affects the protein's role in biological processes. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段中“Proteins are crucial for our bodies and are involved in almost every biological process.The shape of a protein determines its function.”可知，蛋白质的形状影响其在生物过程中的作用。 7．What does the underlined word “underscores” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Minimizes.　　　　 B．Highlights. C．Questions. D．Overlooks. 解析：选B　词义猜测题。根据第四段中“The tech company's success with A­Fold”及“the growing impact of artificial intelligence in various scientific domains, showing that AI can tackle complex biological problems and contribute to critical advancements in health and medicine.”可知，A­Fold的成功凸显了人工智能在各个领域的影响力，因此“underscores”与选项B意思相近，意为“强调，突出”。 8．What possibility does the author imply about the future of scientific research? A．A new focus on solving biological problems. B．An amazing change in academic research settings. C．An increase in joint efforts between different fields. D．A lessened dependence on machine learning techniques. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据最后一段“The Nobel Prize committee awarded ...address global problems.”可知，作者暗示了未来科学研究的一个可能性是不同领域之间的合作将增加，特别是在技术和生物学交汇的领域。 (二)完形填空 Do you ever feel like an outsider?
