Unlike traditional computers that use bits to store and process information, quantum computers use quantum bits, or qubits. Qubits can exist in multiple states at the same time, a phenomenon known as superposition. This allows quantum computers to perform complex calculations much faster than traditional computers. One of the most promising applications of quantum computing is in the field of drug discovery. Developing a new drug usually takes 10 to 15 years and costs billions of dollars. Quantum computers can simulate the behavior of molecules and atoms with unprecedented accuracy, which can significantly speed up the drug discovery process. Scientists believe that quantum computing could help us find cures for diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s and diabetes in the near future. Another important application is in cryptography. Quantum computers can break many of the encryption algorithms that are currently used to protect our online information. This has led to the development of quantum cryptography, which uses the laws of quantum mechanics to create unbreakable encryption systems. Despite its great potential, quantum computing is still in its early stages. Building a practical quantum computer is extremely challenging because qubits are very fragile and easily affected by their environment. Scientists are working hard to overcome these challenges and build more powerful quantum computers. 26. What is the main difference between quantum computers and traditional computers? A. Quantum computers are smaller and cheaper. B. Quantum computers use qubits instead of bits. C. Quantum computers are easier to operate. D. Quantum computers use less energy. 27. How can quantum computing help with drug discovery? A. It can reduce the cost of drug production. B. It can simulate molecules and atoms accurately. C. It can test drugs on human beings directly. D. It can make drugs more effective. 28. What is the problem with quantum computing mentioned in the passage? A. Qubits are very fragile. B. It is too expensive to use. C. It can only be used for drug discovery. D. It is not supported by scientists. 【答案】26. B 27. B 28. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了量子计算的基本原理（使用量子比特）、其在药物发现和密码学领域的应用潜力，以及当前面临的技术挑战。 【26题详解】 根据第一段中“Unlike traditional computers that use bits to store and process information, quantum computers use quantum bits, or qubits.”可知，量子计算机与传统计算机的主要区别在于使用量子比特代替了比特。 【27题详解】 根据第二段中“Quantum computers can simulate the behavior of molecules and atoms with unprecedented accuracy, which can significantly speed up the drug discovery process.”可知，量子计算通过准确模拟分子和原子来帮助药物发现。 【28题详解】 根据最后一段中“Building a practical quantum computer is extremely challenging because qubits are very fragile and easily affected by their environment.”可知，文中提到的问题是量子比特非常脆弱。 B The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef system in the world, stretching over 2,300 kilometers along the northeast coast of Australia.

Little Isaac Newton was sitting by the window, reading a book. Suddenly, an apple fell from the tree outside his window and hit the ground. This simple event made Newton think: “Why do apples always fall down? Why don’t they fall up or sideways?” This question led Newton to develop the theory of gravity. He realized that there is a force that pulls all objects towards the center of the Earth. This force is called gravity. Newton’s theory of gravity changed the way people understand the universe. It explained not only why apples fall but also why the planets move around the sun. Newton was not only a great physicist but also a brilliant mathematician. He invented calculus, a branch of mathematics that is used in many fields today. He also made important discoveries in optics, including the fact that white light is made up of all the colors of the rainbow. Newton’s success was not due to luck. He was a hard worker who spent most of his time studying and experimenting. He once said, “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” This means that his discoveries were built on the work of previous scientists. Newton’s work has had a lasting influence on science and technology. His theories are still used today in many fields, from engineering to space exploration. He is considered one of the greatest scientists of all time. 37. What event led Newton to develop the theory of gravity? A. An apple fell from a tree and hit the ground. B. He saw the planets moving around the sun. C. He read a book about gravity. D. He talked to other scientists about it. 38. What is gravity? A. A force that pushes objects away from the Earth. B. A force that pulls all objects towards the center of the Earth. C. A force that makes objects move in circles. D. A force that makes objects float in the air. 39. What other important discoveries did Newton make? A. He invented the telephone. B. He discovered electricity. C. He invented calculus and made discoveries in optics. D.

Unlike traditional computers that use bits to store and process information, quantum computers use quantum bits, or qubits. Qubits can exist in multiple states at the same time, a phenomenon known as superposition. This allows quantum computers to perform complex calculations much faster than traditional computers. One of the most promising applications of quantum computing is in the field of drug discovery. Developing a new drug usually takes 10 to 15 years and costs billions of dollars. Quantum computers can simulate the behavior of molecules and atoms with unprecedented accuracy, which can significantly speed up the drug discovery process. Scientists believe that quantum computing could help us find cures for diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s and diabetes in the near future. Another important application is in cryptography. Quantum computers can break many of the encryption algorithms that are currently used to protect our online information. This has led to the development of quantum cryptography, which uses the laws of quantum mechanics to create unbreakable encryption systems. Despite its great potential, quantum computing is still in its early stages. Building a practical quantum computer is extremely challenging because qubits are very fragile and easily affected by their environment. Scientists are working hard to overcome these challenges and build more powerful quantum computers. 26. What is the main difference between quantum computers and traditional computers? A. Quantum computers are smaller and cheaper. B. Quantum computers use qubits instead of bits. C. Quantum computers are easier to operate. D. Quantum computers use less energy. 27. How can quantum computing help with drug discovery? A. It can reduce the cost of drug production. B. It can simulate molecules and atoms accurately. C. It can test drugs on human beings directly. D. It can make drugs more effective. 28. What is the problem with quantum computing mentioned in the passage? A. Qubits are very fragile. B. It is too expensive to use. C. It can only be used for drug discovery. D. It is not supported by scientists. B The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef system in the world, stretching over 2,300 kilometers along the northeast coast of Australia. It is home to an incredible diversity of marine life, including more than 1,500 species of fish, 600 species of coral, and countless other animals such as sea turtles, dolphins and whales. The reef is not only a natural wonder but also an important ecosystem. It provides food and shelter for millions of marine animals. It also protects the coastline from storms and erosion. In addition, the Great Barrier Reef is a major tourist attraction, bringing in billions of dollars to the Australian economy every year. However, the Great Barrier Reef is facing serious threats. Climate change is the biggest danger. Rising ocean temperatures cause coral bleaching, which kills the coral. Since 1995, more than half of the coral in the Great Barrier Reef has died. Pollution from agriculture and industry is also damaging the reef. Chemicals from farms run into the ocean, causing algae blooms that block sunlight and kill coral. The Australian government has taken many measures to protect the Great Barrier Reef. It has set up marine protected areas where fishing and other activities are restricted. It is also working to reduce pollution and combat climate change. However, more needs to be done to save this precious natural treasure. 29. How long is the Great Barrier Reef? A. About 1,500 kilometers. B. About 2,300 kilometers. C. About 600 kilometers. D. About 10,000 kilometers. 30. What is the biggest threat to the Great Barrier Reef? A. Pollution. B. Overfishing. C. Climate change. D. Tourism. 31. What causes coral bleaching? A. Rising ocean temperatures. B. Chemical pollution. C. Algae blooms. D. Fishing activities. 32. What has the Australian government done to protect the reef? A. It has closed the reef to tourists. B. It has set up marine protected areas. C. It has stopped all fishing in the area. D. It has moved all the coral to other places. C Since the popular TV series The Longest Day in Chang’an was shown, a large number of viewers have become interested in the Tang Dynasty. The series is famous for its detailed reconstruction of Tang Dynasty culture, including architecture, clothing, food and customs. Chang’an, now known as Xi’an, was the capital of the Tang Dynasty. It was one of the largest and most prosperous cities in the world at that time. The city had a population of over one million people and was divided into 108 districts. It was a center of trade and culture, attracting people from all over the world. One of the most impressive things about the Tang Dynasty was its open and inclusive culture. People from different countries and regions came to Chang’an to trade, study and live. They brought with them their own cultures, which were absorbed and integrated into Chinese culture. This cultural exchange made the Tang Dynasty one of the most brilliant periods in Chinese history. The Tang Dynasty was also famous for its literature and art. Poetry reached its peak during this period, with poets such as Li Bai, Du Fu and Bai Juyi creating some of the greatest works in Chinese literature. Painting, calligraphy and music also flourished, leaving behind many precious cultural treasures. After watching the series, many viewers have started to learn more about the Tang Dynasty.

Little Isaac Newton was sitting by the window, reading a book. Suddenly, an apple fell from the tree outside his window and hit the ground. This simple event made Newton think: “Why do apples always fall down? Why don’t they fall up or sideways?” This question led Newton to develop the theory of gravity. He realized that there is a force that pulls all objects towards the center of the Earth. This force is called gravity. Newton’s theory of gravity changed the way people understand the universe. It explained not only why apples fall but also why the planets move around the sun. Newton was not only a great physicist but also a brilliant mathematician. He invented calculus, a branch of mathematics that is used in many fields today. He also made important discoveries in optics, including the fact that white light is made up of all the colors of the rainbow. Newton’s success was not due to luck. He was a hard worker who spent most of his time studying and experimenting. He once said, “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” This means that his discoveries were built on the work of previous scientists. Newton’s work has had a lasting influence on science and technology. His theories are still used today in many fields, from engineering to space exploration. He is considered one of the greatest scientists of all time. 37. What event led Newton to develop the theory of gravity? A. An apple fell from a tree and hit the ground. B. He saw the planets moving around the sun. C. He read a book about gravity. D. He talked to other scientists about it. 38. What is gravity? A. A force that pushes objects away from the Earth. B. A force that pulls all objects towards the center of the Earth. C. A force that makes objects move in circles. D. A force that makes objects float in the air. 39. What other important discoveries did Newton make? A. He invented the telephone. B. He discovered electricity. C. He invented calculus and made discoveries in optics. D.
