These winners have made remarkable contributions to their respective fields, pushing the boundaries of human knowledge and understanding. Nobel Prize in Physics The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton. They employed physics tools to develop methods that paved the way for advanced machine learning. Hopfield created a structure capable of storing and reconstructing information, while Hinton invented a method that independently identifies data properties, crucial for modern artificial neural networks. Nobel Prize in Chemistry In Chemistry, the focus was on proteins, vital for life. David Bakerachieved the seemingly impossible by crafting entirely new protein types. Demis Hassabis and John Jumper tackled a 50-year-old challenge with their AI model that predicts complex protein structures, holding immense potential. Nobel Prize in Literature Han Kang, a South Korean author, won the Nobel Prize in Literature for her intense poetic prose (散文) addressing historical mental scars and exposing human life's weakness. Her unique awareness of body-soul connections and her innovative style have made her a contemporary prose pioneer. Nobel Peace Prize The 2024 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Nihon Hidankyo, a grassroots Japanese organization of atomic bomb survivors. This is quite different from other awards given to individuals. It won the prize for its efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons. The organization was formed by survivors of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima (广岛) and Nagasaki (长崎) in 1945. 11. Whose contribution is vital for artificial neural connections? A. Geoffrey Hinton. B. Demis Hassabis. C. Han Kang. D. John Hopfield. 12. What assisted scientists in solving a half-century-old problem? A. Crafting new protein types. B. Advanced machine learning. C. AI model. D. Analysing data properties. 13. Which prize was awarded to a group? A. Nobel Prize in Physics. B. Nobel Prize in Chemistry. C. Nobel Prize in Literature. D. Nobel Peace Prize. B Virginia “Ginger” Hislop, 105, recently walked the stage at Stanford University to receive her master’s degree in education for the coursework she completed in 1941. A smiling Hislop rose to an ovation (鼓掌) on June 16 as she received her degree and master’s hood at the university’s Graduate School of Education diploma ceremony while her family, including her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, cheered her on. Hislop, a native of Palo Alto, California, earned her bachelor’s degree in education in 1940 from Stanford’s then-School of Education with the plan of earning a master’s degree so she could begin teaching. She was stimulated for an education career by her grandmother, who was a pre-Civil War educator in Kansas, and her aunt, who served as headmaster of a West Los Angeles school. However, her boyfriend at the time, George Hislop, was called to serve in World War II, so the two got married and Virginia Hislop left Stanford after completing her coursework but before handing in her thesis (论文). Her decision to put obtaining her master’s degree on hold did not pause her commitment to education. Hislop has served on the Yakima School Board of Directors, is a founding board of directors member of Yakima Community College and served for 20 years on the board of Heritage University in Toppenish, Washington. “I think I did good things for our local school system and I helped broaden it out,” she told Stanford University. “For me, this degree is an appreciation of the many years I’ve put in working for the schools in the Yakima area and on different boards.” “I felt that all the kids should have an opportunity to develop their potential as best they could, and that everybody should have a crack at higher education if they wanted,” Hislop said. 14．What happened to Hislop at Stanford University on June 16? A．She completed her master’s thesis. B．She received her master’s degree in education. C．She was praised for her service in education. D．She was honored and included in the Hall of Fame. 15．How did World War II impact Hislop’s educational pursuits? A．It led her to join the military along with her boyfriend. B．It inspired her to become an advocate for fairness in education. C．It caused her to move to Washington state for work opportunities. D．It caused her to delay completing her master’s degree due to marriage. 16．What can be inferred about Hislop’s commitment to education? A．She was a firm advocate for equal opportunities. B．She was not involved in education until her late age. C．She only pursued her master’s degree after retirement. D．She actively contributed to the education system in Yakima. 17．What is the main idea of the text? A．The life story of an elderly female graduate. B．The challenges faced by women in education. C．The importance of pursuing higher education. D．The recognition of a lifetime of service in education. C Naming hurricane New research from the University of Illinois finds that hurricanes with female names are likely to cause more deaths than those with male names. The study examined over 60 years of hurricanes which hit the US. The results showed there were higher death tolls, on average, when the hurricanes were given a female name. This wasn’t because female-named hurricanes were any more severe; rather that people’s behavior changed. Sharon Shavitt, one of the authors of the report, explained: “In judging the intensity of a storm, people appear to be applying their beliefs about how men and women behave. This makes a female-named hurricane, such as Belle or Candy, seem gentled and less violent.” People unconsciously say to themselves: how could I be killed by a hurricane called Candy? In fact, hurricanes are named arbitrarily, and the names tell you nothing about the severity of the storm. But, if people in the path of the storm are letting its name affect whether they take shelter, what we call it may matter more than we think. Having searched through the records, the researchers returned to the lab to test their finding experimentally. People were given a series of hypothetical（假设的） storms with male and female names and asked to make judgments about their intensity and the risk they faced. The results showed that people often regarded male-named hurricanes, like Hurricane Christopher or Hurricane Victor as more intense and riskier than the female-named ones, like Hurricane Alexandra and Hurricane Christ. Shavitt continued, “People imagining a ‘female’ hurricane were not as willing to seek shelter. The fixed ideas that underlie these judgments are subtle and not necessarily hostile toward women — they may involve viewing women as warmer and less aggressive than men.” The fact is that until the late 1970s, hurricanes were always given female names, as they were thought to represent women’s qualities like unpredictability. This practice — and the sexist reasoning behind it — was rightly abandoned in favour of choosing between male and female. Strangely, though, what we’ve learnt is that we’d be better off naming all hurricanes after men to take advantage of people’s fixed views. The researchers estimate that changing a severe hurricane’s name from “Eloise” to “Charles” could potentially cut the death toll by one-third. Perhaps the naming of hurricane is one specific situation where we shouldn’t worry about being sexist, if being a little sexist is going to save lives. 18．Hurricanes with female names are likely to cause more deaths because________. A．male named hurricanes are not terrible B．female-named hurricanes are more severe C．people think the female-named hurricanes are not severe D．people prefer to challenge the male-named hurricanes 19．The underlined word “arbitrarily” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________. A．for humor B．on purpose C．by chance D．in turn 20．It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A．future hurricane’s will be named after men more often B．being sexist in naming hurricane’s helps save lives C．sexism in naming hurricane’s will be banned D．rules of naming hurricane will be changed D It started during yoga class. She felt a strange pull on her neck, a sensation completely foreign to her. Her friend suggested she rush to the emergency room. It turned out that she was having a heart attack. She didn’t look like someone of a heart attack. She exercised, did not smoke, watched her plate. But on reviewing her medical history, I found that her cholesterol (胆固醇) level was sky high. She had been prescribed a cholesterol-lowering statin (他汀) medication, but she never picked up the prescription because of the scary things she had read about statins on the internet. She was the victim of fake medical news. While misinformation has been the object of great attention in politics, medical misinformation might have an even greater body count. As is true with fake news in general, medical lies tend to spread further than truths on the internet — and they have very real impacts. False medical information can also lead to patients experiencing greater side effects through the “nocebo effect”. Sometimes patients benefit from certain treatment or medication simply because they believe they will. The nocebo effect is the opposite: Patients can experience negative effects just because they expect them. This is very true of statins. In blinded trials, patients who get statins are no more likely to report feeling muscle aches than patients who get a placebo (安慰剂). Yet, in clinical practice, according to one study, almost a fifth of patients taking statins report side effects, leading many to discontinue the drugs. Silicon Valley needs to own this problem. When human health is at risk, perhaps search engines, social media platforms and websites should be held responsible for promoting or hosting fake information. The scientific community needs to do its part to educate the public about key concepts in research, such as the difference between observational studies and higher-quality randomized trials (随机对照试验). Finally, journalists can do a better job of spreading accurate information. News sites are more likely to cover catchy observational studies than randomized controlled trials, perhaps because the latter are less likely to produce surprising results. Such coverage can overstate benefits, claiming for example, that statins could cure cancer; it can also unduly emphasize potential risks, such as suggesting a misleading connection with dementia (痴呆). 21．The lady’s experience of a heart attack is mentioned in paragraph 1 and 2 in order to . A．introduce the topic B．warn against a disease C．explain an established theory D．highlight the writer’s opinion 22．Which of the following examples best illustrates the‌ “nocebo effect”? A．You feel better after taking the medicine that you think will work. B．You feel dizzy after taking the medicine that you believe has side effects. C．You have a fever after taking the medicine even if you know it is harmless. D．You have a headache after taking the medicine even if the doctor says it’s safe. 23．According to the writer, what should journalists do? A．Use as few social media platforms as possible. B．Educate the public about key medical ideas. C．Report as complete a story as possible. D．Spread more benefits than risks. 24．Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A．Doctor Internet is a Liar B．Why‌ “Nocebo Effect” Works C．Watch out for Partial Coverage D．Stand up for Better Human Health 第二部分 非选择题（共 62分） 一、单句语法填空。（共8小题，每空1分，共9分） 阅读下列句子，根据句意填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 25.

Telemedicine has existed for a long time, but the rise of smart phones, tablets and webcam-equipped computers is raising telemedicine to new levels. Some health care systems in the United States now offer Virtual Urgent Care（虚拟紧急护理）, patients see a doctor by video chat without having to leave home. Diana Rae recently demonstrated how Virtual Urgent Care works. She used an iPad tablet and Skype — the video chat service. Doctor Green first has the patient describe her symptoms. Then the doctor performs a physical exam by demonstrating what he wants her to do. Doctor Green decides that the problem is an infection and gives her some penicillin for medicine. He says about 3 out of 4 patients who have health problems can be treated like this — through Virtual Urgent Care, which means a video chat could substitute a visit to the doctor’s office. Franciscan charges $35 for this kind of virtual house call, that is much less than the cost of going to an emergency room, a doctor’s office or an urgent care clinic. After trying the video conference, Diana Rae says she would be happy to pay the 35 dollars, when she was recently home with a bad cold. “I would have paid twice that for the convenience of getting taken care of without having to sit in a waiting room, wait, and get exposed to everyone else’s germs.” Rae said. But a company official says state rules have not kept progress with development in telemedicine. The workers who provide Virtual Urgent Care must be licensed separately in each state where the company does business. For now, that means Franciscan doctors can treat patients in Washington state and California, for example, but not in neighboring Oregon or Idaho. 43．What is helping telemedicine to rise to new stages? (No more than 10 words) 44．What does the underlined word “substitute” mean? (1 word) 45．Why can’t Virtual Urgent Care develop fast now? (No more than 10 words) 46．What do you think of Virtual Urgent Care’s future? Why? (No more than 20 words) 五、书面表达（满分20分） 假设你是李华。你的英国朋友Jim发来邮件，提到中国所取得的科技成就举世瞩目，他非常想了解一些中国科学家的光荣事迹，请你用英语给他写一封邮件，向他介绍一位你最钦佩的中国科学家，内容包括： 1、科学家的简介； 2、取得的主要成就； 3、对你的影响。 注意：    1. 词数不少于100； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours 北京市第八中学京西校区2025-2026学年度第二学期期中练习题 Li Hua 试卷第1页，共3页 第1页（共3页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 10 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $北京市第八中学京西校区2025-2026学年度第二学期期中练习题答案及评分标准 2025-2026学年度第二学期期中练习题参考答案及评分标准 高一年级 英语科目 第一部分：选择题（共38分） 一、完形填空（本大题共10个小题，每小题1分，共10分） 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 D B A C D B B B D A 二、阅读理解（本大题共14小题，每小题2分，共28分） 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 答案 A C D B D D D C C B A B C A 第二部分：非选择题 （共62分） 一、单句语法填空。（本大题共8小题，每空1分，共9分） 25.effective 26.awareness 27.when 28.energetic 29.whose 30.whom 31.which 32.thanking;recognition 二、选词填空。（本大题5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 33.fight against 34.is regarded as 35. are picking out 36.engaged in 37.came across 三、根据括号中所给提示完成下列句子。（本大题5小题，每题3分，共15分） 38.We should make a contribution to keeping our campus/school clean/tidy. 39.We must fight for independence and freedom. 40.This is the first difficulty (that) I have met in my career. 41.He signed the check in support of their decision. 42.It is your devotion to work that is worthy of/deverses all admiration. 四、阅读表达（本大题4小题，每题2分，共8分） 43.The rise of smartphones, tablets and webcam-equipped computers. 44.

Among them, the one I admire most is Yuan Longping, an outstanding agricultural scientist known as the “Father of Hybrid Rice”. A few decades ago, the lack of food was one of the main problems threatening Chinese people. After years of study, Yuan Longping successfully developed the world’s first hybrid rice, which dramatically increased rice production. His approach to rice breeding also serves as a solution to food problems around the globe. There is no doubt that his contribution is of great significance. His story gives me inspiration and motivates me to love science. And I would like to make contributions to it in the future.                                                                                                                  Yours, Li Hua   1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
