Part Ⅰ Vocabulary & Grammar
[河北石家庄二中2022月考]Jack Andraka was 15 when he came up with an idea for a new way to test for pancreatic (胰腺的) cancer.When Andraka was 14, a family friend died of the disease, and this affected him deeply.This kind of cancer is particularly serious because there is no test you can have done to find it in the early stages.By the time standard tests determine you have the disease, it is often too late.Realising that this was the case, Andraka decided to try to develop a test that might identify the problem in the earliest stages.
The road ahead looked difficult for Andraka.He was still a high school student, and he wanted to create something that no one else had done.Andraka read endlessly about the disease, wrote a proposal for his idea, and sent it out to 200 cancer researchers.Only one professor, Dr Anirban Maitra, responded positively.Dr Maitra agreed to work with Andraka on his idea, giving him guidance and access to a laboratory.
The next big reward for Andraka’s perseverance was winning the grand prize at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.This great award is given to young innovators who have developed a world changing idea.Developing the test is likely to take many years, but Andraka hopes the test will eventually improve and even save people’s lives.
Jack Andraka is not alone as a young innovator.After all, there were 1 ,499 other contestants for the Intel award, and all of them had groundbreaking ideas.For Andraka, having a family that loves science and encourages creative thinking gave him an advantage.But the key to Andraka’s success is that reading, research, and discovery are just plain fun, and the chance to improve the world around him in the process makes it even better.

答案及解析
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段可知,安德拉卡家的一个家族友人死于胰腺癌,这对他影响很大。这种癌症在早期没有任何测试可以发现它,于是他决定尝试开发一种可以在最早期发现这种疾病的测试。因此安德拉卡发现胰腺癌的检测方法是源于一次令人苦恼的经历。故选B项。

[北京2022]Quantum (量子) computers have been on my mind a lot lately.A friend has been sending me articles on how quantum computers might help solve some of the biggest challenges we face as humans.I’ve also had exchanges with two quantum computing experts.One is computer scientist Chris Johnson who I see as someone who helps keep the field honest.The other is physicist Philip Taylor.
For decades, quantum computing has been little more than a laboratory curiosity.Now, big tech companies have invested in quantum computing, as have many smaller ones.According to Business Weekly, quantum machines could help us “cure cancer, and even take steps to turn climate change in the opposite direction.” This is the sort of hype (炒作) that annoys Johnson.He worries that researchers are making promises they can’t keep.“What’s new, ” Johnson wrote, “is that millions of dollars are now potentially available to quantum computing researchers.”

议论文 科学技术 401 难 8分钟
As quantum computing attracts more attention and funding, researchers may mislead investors, journalists, the public and, worst of all, themselves about their work’s potential.If researchers can’t keep their promises, excitement might give way to doubt, disappointment and anger, Johnson warns.Lots of other technologies have gone through stages of excitement.But something about quantum computing makes it especially prone to hype, Johnson suggests, perhaps because “‘quantum’ stands for something cool you shouldn't be able to understand.” And that brings me back to Taylor, who suggested that I read his book Q for Quantum.
After I read the book, Taylor patiently answered my questions about it.He also answered my questions about PyQuantum, the firm he co founded in 2016.Taylor shares Johnson’s concerns about hype, but he says those concerns do not apply to PyQuantum.
Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练
刷阅读理解
The company, he says, is closer than any other firm “by a very large margin (幅度)” to building a “useful” quantum computer, one that “solves an impactful problem that we would not have been able to solve otherwise.” He adds, “People will naturally discount my opinions, but I have spent a lot of time quantitatively comparing what we are doing with others.”
Could PyQuantum really be leading all the competition “by a wide margin”, as Taylor claims I don’t know.I’m certainly not going to advise my friend or anyone else to invest in quantum computers.But I trust Taylor, just as I trust Johnson.

3.A 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的But something about quantum computing makes it especially prone to hype, Johnson suggests, perhaps because “‘quantum’ stands for something cool you shouldn't be able to understand.”可知,因为“量子”代表一种人们无法理解的很酷的事物,所以它特别容易被炒作。故prone意为“易于……的”。open意为“开放的;易受损害的”;cool意为“酷的”;useful意为“有用的”;resistant意为“有抵抗力的”。故选A项。
