It is that time of the year, when a handful of world’s leading scholars, social activists and researchers are rewarded with what is often cited as the most prestigious acknowledgement of human effort-the Nobel Prize. 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.

When I was in primary school, I was actually a little shy. One thing that really frightened me was speaking in front of many people, whether strangers or acquaintances (熟人). It was my sixth-grade teacher, Mr. Bamick, who helped me get past that. That year we had to make four oral (口头的) book reports in front of the class. Some of the kids were even glad to do it, but I was scared to death. Mr. Bamick recognized my fear, so be told me to do a report on a book that was about something that really interested me. So I did the first report on baseball.
When it came time for me to present it to the class, Mr. Bamick cut me some slack and let me read the report rather than give it from memory. Some of my classmates laughed at me, but Mr. Bamick defended (……辩解) me. By the end of the year I had completed all four of the oral book reports. It wasn’t easy or comfortable for me, but I did it.
Years later I realized that Mr. Bamick did me a great favor in sixth grade. One of the chances I got when I won a tennis tournament (锦标赛) was to make comments to the fans who attended the match. Some of those were carried live on television and all of them were before thousands of people. It was still not one of my favorite things to do, but, with Mr. Bamick’s help, I got through it from time to time. Before long, I was asked to bring my favorite childhood teacher to a national event in Dallas. 1 was excited when Mr. Bamick joined me for the event. It meant a lot to me that he was there.
Mr. Bamick believed in me and helped me to believe in myself. It was he who helped me build the person I became.

The global movement to get rid of plastic has led to concern about single-use plastic tea bags, with many people now considering them wasteful and potentially dangerous. New research by a team at McGill University found that a tea bag soaked (浸泡) in 95℃ water released 11.6 billion units of microplastics and 3.1 billion smaller nanoplastic particles (微粒). The researchers are suggesting that dipping into boiling water makes the tea bags release higher numbers of plastic particles or poisonous substances.
This quantity of microplastics is larger than the amount consumed by a person in an entire year, so the question remains whether the consumption of microplastics is harmful to the human body. Worryingly, when exposed to these levels of microplastics, water fleas (水蚤) were noted to show body and behavior abnormalities. For a nation that consumes up to 60.2 billion cups of tea a year, this has caused concern. While there is no evidence that these micro-plastics affect human health, the UN has said more research is needed to fully understand the effect microplastics have on the body.
It is not only plastic tea bags that contain chemicals. 96 per cent of paper tea bags sold in the UK contain polypropylene—a chemical used to close the openings. This chemical can makeup 25 per cent of the bag.
Some brands such as the Co-op and PG Tips had already adopted 100 per cent compostable (可堆肥的) ten bags due to public pressure. While Lidl is exploring the alternative for biological tea bags. Yorkshire Tea is aiming to switch to plant-based materials by the end of the year. The most eco-friendly tea, however, remains loose leaf in a pot or cup.
8. What does the new research show
A. Tea bags are becoming unpopular.
B. Tea bags contain different plastics.
C. Tea bags in hot water release bad materials.
D. Tea bags should be dipped in cold water.
9. Which can best describe the microplastics’ effect on human health
A. Direct. B. Long-lasting. C. Insignificant. D. Uncertain.
10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Tea makers are aware of tea bags’ harm.
B. The public are particular about tea brands.
C. People are concerned about the environment.
D. The production of tea becomes eco-friendly.
11. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A textbook. B. A technology report.
C. A biography. D. A health magazine.
D
“The history of the world is but the biography (传记) of great men,” argued Thomas Carlyle, the advocate of what has come to be known as the “Great Man Theory of History.” This theory suggests that the broader movements and outline of history all go back to the leadership of great individuals who had unique influence on their times. Whether or not Carlyle’s theory proves true is debatable, but that certain individuals cast long shadows is not.
As one who is entrusted with a leadership position, I find it profitable to read of others who have led. Wherever you find me, you’ll likely find a good biography nearby. Why is this the case First, I find good biographies fascinating. I’ll occasionally read a novel, but I’ve never been overly drawn to fiction. I have found myself unable to sleep while in the struggle of the Battle of Britain in William Manchester’s The Last Lion. For me, not to read biographies would rob me of pleasure in my life.
Second, I find good biographies informative. A good biographer tells not only the story of a person, but also of their times. Reading a good biography is like wandering through an intellectual shopping mall. The first store is what drew you there, but you will be pleasantly surprised along the way at what other items grab your attention. You’ll find no better account of the British Empire at its peak than the opening chapters of Manchester’s Visions of Glory, volume one of his The Last Lion. Strictly speaking, a biography is but a slice of history.
Third, I find good biographies relaxing. Winston Churchill once noted a man who works with his hands should have a hobby that engages his mind, and a man who works with his mind should have a hobby that engages his hands. Another way to apply Churchill’s saying is to combine technical, pen-in-hand vocational reading with leisurely biographical reading. Indeed, few things are more relaxing to me than winding down the evening and entering into another world.
This is why I love reading good biographies, and why I pity the person who neglects them. Don’t be counted among their number.
12. What is implied in the first paragraph
A. The author finds Carlyle’s theory undebatable.
B. Carlyle believes great men alone cannot create history.
C. It is debatable whether one should read great men’s biographies.
D. The author agrees that history is greatly influenced by certain men.
13. What does the underlined phrase “other items” in the third paragraph refer to
A. good biographies B. stories of certain times
C. the volumes of The Last Lion D. the chapters of the British Empire
14. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. The author considers biographical reading enjoyable.
B. The author can travel to another world in the evening.
C. The author has fought many battles during his lifetime.
D. The author profits commercially by reading biographies.
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article
A. To analyze the benefits of vocational reading.
B. To introduce to readers his unique reading strategies.
C. To present great men’s history through biography reading.
D. To recommend biography reading through his own experiences.

46. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
“Tiki!” I yelled desperately.
Our dog, Tiki, had slipped out the door earlier that evening. Now I was searching the neighborhood trying to find him. My seven-year-old son, Jordan, was following behind.
I was worried about Jordan. He had lost so much already. The last few months had been difficult. After getting divorced, I could no longer afford our house in Indianapolis. Jordan and I moved in with my parents in northern Indiana. Jordan missed his friends and his old school. Losing his childhood dog was the last thing he needed.
We called out Tilki’s name until it was completely dark. We were forced to return home, empty-handed.
“Mom, it’s all new here. What if Tiki can’t find Grandma’s house ” asked Jordan. “It’s okay,” I said. “He’s wearing his collar and dog tag (标牌).” It was at that moment that I realized Tiki’s tag listed our address and phone number in Indianapolis. If someone found him, they’d have no way to reach me. I felt sick to my stomach.
The next day, I kept asking around to see if anyone had spotted him. But after two weeks, I began to lose hope.
One afternoon I found Jordan crying in his room. “At school, we had to write about our wishes,” he said. “I wrote, ‘I wish my dog would come home.’ Mrs. Rush hung our papers in the hallway. Every time I see my paper, I feel sad.” My heart broke for him.
So later that week, when he put on a stained shirt from his old school back in Indianapolis, I just let it slide. If it helped him get through the school day, that was more important than looking put-together.
When he got home that afternoon, he told me the school custodian (管理员) had asked him about his shirt. “I told him we just moved here from Indianapolis,” said Jordan.
The next day, I got a call from Mrs. Rush. “I’m calling on behalf of our school custodian,” she began. “His grown daughter found a dog a few weeks ago, and he thinks it might be yours.”

Before long, I was asked to bring my favorite childhood teacher to a national event in Dallas. 1 was excited when Mr. Bamick joined me for the event. It meant a lot to me that he was there.

D
“The history of the world is but the biography (传记) of great men,” argued Thomas Carlyle, the advocate of what has come to be known as the “Great Man Theory of History.” This theory suggests that the broader movements and outline of history all go back to the leadership of great individuals who had unique influence on their times. Whether or not Carlyle’s theory proves true is debatable, but that certain individuals cast long shadows is not.
As one who is entrusted with a leadership position I find it profitable to read of others who have led. Wherever you find me, you’ll likely find a good biography nearby. Why is this the case First, I find good biographies fascinating. I’ll occasionally read a novel, but I’ve never been overly drawn to fiction. I have found myself unable to sleep while in the struggle of the Battle of Britain in William Manchester’s The Last Lion. For me, not to read biographies would rob me of pleasure in my life.
Second, I find good biographies informative. A good biographer tells not only the story of a person, but also of their times. Reading a good biography is like wandering through an intellectual shopping mall. The first store is what drew you there, but you will be pleasantly surprised along the way at what other items grab your attention. You’ll find no better account of the British Empire at its peak than the opening chapters of Manchester’s Visions of Glory, volume one of his The Last Lion. Strictly speaking, a biography is but a slice of history.
Third, I find good biographies relaxing. Winston Churchill once noted a man who works with his hands should have a hobby that engages his mind, and a man who works with his mind should have a hobby that engages his hands. Another way to apply Churchill’s saying is to combine technical, pen-in-hand vocational reading with leisurely biographical reading. Indeed, few things are more relaxing to me than winding down the evening and entering into another world.
This is why I love reading good biographies, and why I pity the person who neglects them. Don’t be counted among their number.
12. What is implied in the first paragraph
A. The author finds Carlyle’s theory undebatable.
B. Carlyle believes great men alone cannot create history.
C. It is debatable whether one should read great men’s biographies.
D. The author agrees that history is greatly influenced by certain men.
13. What does the underlined phrase “other items” in the third paragraph refer to
A. good biographies B. stories of certain times
C. the volumes of The Last Lion D. the chapters of the British Empire
14. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. The author considers biographical reading enjoyable.
B. The author can travel to another world in the evening.
C. The author has fought many battles during his lifetime.
D. The author profits commercially by reading biographies.
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article
A. To analyze the benefits of vocational reading.
B. To introduce to readers his unique reading strategies.
C. To present great men’s history through biography reading.
D. To recommend biography reading through his own experiences.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文，作者阐述了喜欢读好的传记的原因。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段“This theory suggests that the broader movements and outline of history all go back to the leadership of great individuals who had unique influence on their times”可知，这一理论表明，更广泛的历史运动和轮廓都可以追溯到对其时代有独特影响的伟大人物的领导。所以通过第一段的关键词“go back to，had unique influence on their times”，判断出第一段暗示了作者同意历史受某些人的影响很大。故D选项正确。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。由第三段“A good biographer tells not only the story of a person, but also of their times. Reading a good biography is like wandering through an intellectual shopping mall. The first store is what drew you there, but you will be pleasantly surprised along the way at what other items grab your attention. ”可知，一个好的传记作家不仅讲述一个人的故事，而且还在讲述他们所处的时代。读一本好的传记就像漫步在一个充满智慧的购物中心。第一家商店吸引了你，但你会惊喜地发现，还有其它的商品吸引了你的注意力。所以作者把读好的传记比喻成购物，将历史人物和某个时期的历史故事比喻成商店的商品。故判断出第三段划线的“other items”指的是某个时期的故事。故B选项正确。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段“For me, not to read biographies would rob me of pleasure in my life”以及第三段“ Indeed, few things are more relaxing to me than winding down the evening and entering into another world.”可知，对我来说，不读传记会剥夺我生活的乐趣。的确，没有什么事情比悠闲地度过夜晚，进入另一个世界更令我放松。所以作者认为传记阅读令人愉快。故A选项“作者认为传记阅读令人愉快”是正确的。故A选项正确。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“First, I find good biographies fascinating.”第三段“Second, I find good biographies informative.”第四段“Third, I find good biographies relaxing.” 以及最后段“This is why I love reading good biographies, and why I pity the person who neglects them. Don’t be counted among their number.”可知，首先，我觉得好的传记很吸引人。我发现好的传记信息丰富。我发现好的传记让人放松。这就是为什么我喜欢读好的传记，以及为什么我同情忽视它们的人。不要成为那些不读传记的人群的一员。可知，作者通过自己的经历阐述了自己喜欢读好的传记的原因目的是推荐人们读传记。故D选项正确。
【点睛】抓住特定信息进行逆向或者正向推理。做此类试题要善于抓住某一段话中的关键信息，即某些关键词或短语去分析、推理、判断，利用逆向思维或正面推理，从而推断出这句话所隐含的深层含义。
由第一段“This theory suggests that the broader movements and outline of history all go back to the leadership of great individuals who had unique influence on their times”可知，这一理论表明，更广泛历史运动和历史大纲都可以追溯到伟大人物的领导，他们对自己的时代有着独特的影响。所以通过第一段的关键词“go back to，had unique influence on their times”，判断出第一段暗示了作者同意历史受某些人的影响很大。故小题2的正确选项为B选项。
七选五（根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项）

【答案】16. D 17. E 18. F 19. G 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本篇是说明文。文章讲述了用金钱买不到的几样东西。
【16题详解】
根据后一句“Because of money,people can live a luxurious life.(因为钱，人们可以过上奢侈的生活)”，以及前一句“Every individual wants financial security.(每个人都想要财务安全)”可知，此句应该在空处提到钱这一概念，并且提出钱的重要性，然后后文解释为什么，所以D项“Money has become the most important necessity of people.(钱已经成为人们最重要的必需品)”符合文意。故选D项。
【17题详解】
根据本段小标题“Money can never buy respect(金钱永远买不到尊重)”可知，本段主要是讲金钱和尊严的关系，再根据前句“Actually, if you feel that just because of money you have a license to disrespect anyone, then this attitude of yours will for sure not keep you at the top for a long time, hence respect others and stay humble and polite with others.(事实上，如果你觉得仅仅因为钱，你就有了不尊重任何人的许可，那么你的这种态度肯定不会让你在顶端呆很长时间，所以要尊重别人，对别人保持谦逊和礼貌)”可知，空处位于段尾，应是对本段下结论，所以E项“This attitude of yours will help you to get others’ respect not money.(你的这种态度会帮助你获得别人的尊重而不是金钱)”符合文意。故选E项。
【18题详解】
根据本段小标题“True friends and love(真正的朋友和爱)”可知，本段主要讲朋友，再根据后文“Because they are the ones who will always stay beside you whether you have money or not(因为无论你有没有钱，他们都会一直在你身边)”可知，空处应是讲朋友的重要性，此处解释，所以F项“never forget people who were there with you in your struggling days.(永远不要忘记那些在你奋斗的日子里和你在一起的人)”符合文意。故选F项。
【19题详解】
根据本段小标题“Money can’t give you an extra hour(钱不能多给你额外的一个小时)”，可知，本段主要讲金钱买不来时间，空处位于本段段首，应是对本段的总领，以及后文“You have to manage everything in those twenty-four hours, who will not be rewarded by any extra hours.(你必须在这24小时内处理好所有的事情，而谁也不会得到额外的时间奖励)”所以G项“No matter how rich you are, you will get the same 24 hours like others.(不管你多有钱，你都和别人一样有24小时的工作时间)”符合文意，其中24 hours为同词复现。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据本段小标题“Money can’t buy life(金钱买不到生命)”可知，本段主要讲金钱和生命之间的关系，根据前文“You can never buy good health and life.(健康和生命是买不到的)”，再分析设空处，位于首句后面，应是对前文的进一步解释，所以A项“Death is obvious, which will come for sure.(死亡是显而易见的，它必然会到来)”符合文意。故选A项。

四、书面表达
甲（读后续写）
46. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
“Tiki!” I yelled desperately.
Our dog, Tiki, had slipped out the door earlier that evening. Now I was searching the neighborhood trying to find him. My seven-year-old son, Jordan, was following behind.
I was worried about Jordan. He had lost so much already. The last few months had been difficult. After getting divorced, I could no longer afford our house in Indianapolis. Jordan and I moved in with my parents in northern Indiana. Jordan missed his friends and his old school. Losing his childhood dog was the last thing he needed.
We called out Tilki’s name until it was completely dark. We were forced to return home, empty-handed.
“Mom, it’s all new here. What if Tiki can’t find Grandma’s house ” asked Jordan. “It’s okay,” I said. “He’s wearing his collar and dog tag (标牌).” It was at that moment that I realized Tiki’s tag listed our address and phone number in Indianapolis. If someone found him, they’d have no way to reach me. I felt sick to my stomach.
The next day, I kept asking around to see if anyone had spotted him. But after two weeks, I began to lose hope.
One afternoon, I found Jordan crying in his room. “At school, we had to write about our wishes,” he said. “I wrote, ‘I wish my dog would come home.’ Mrs. Rush hung our papers in the hallway. Every time I see my paper, I feel sad.” My heart broke for him.
So later that week, when he put on a stained shirt from his old school back in Indianapolis, I just let it slide. If it helped him get through the school day, that was more important than looking put-together.
When he got home that afternoon, he told me the school custodian (管理员) had asked him about his shirt. “I told him we just moved here from Indianapolis,” said Jordan.
The next day, I got a call from Mrs. Rush. “I’m calling on behalf of our school custodian,” she began. “His grown daughter found a dog a few weeks ago, and he thinks it might be yours.”

Paragraph2:
“What made your dad think the dog was ours ” I asked curiously.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Mrs. Rush didn’t know the details, but she passed on the daughter’s phone number. Pinching the little scrap with the “possible-Tiki” phone number, I was hopeful mingled with fear——What if it’s not our Tiki I still dialed anyway. Seconds later, the phone was connected. “He’s a small white dog and his tag says TIKI,” the lady on the phone said. Then we reached an agreement to have a check in person. Jordan and I piled into the car and rushed over. Minutes later, Jordan was sitting on the floor in the custodian’s daughter’s kitchen, laughing while Tiki licked his face.
“What made your dad think the dog was ours ” I asked curiously. She told me that she’d mentioned to him that she’d found a little dog. A few weeks later, he was mopping the hallway when he spotted the kids’ latest essays. He paused to read Jordan’s. Could it be the same dog His daughter said no, the dog had Indianapolis tags with a disconnected phone number. “But then he noticed Jordan’s Indianapolis T-shirt and put two and two together ” I said, connecting the dots. She nodded. That night, Jordan thanked everything for bringing Tiki home. And I thanked everything for prompting me to let Jordan wear the ratty old T-shirt that made the reunion possible.

①由第一段首句内容“拉什太太不知道细节，但她留下了女儿电话号码。”可知，第一段可描写作者打电话联系了拉什太太女儿，与她确认是否对方捡到的是提基的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“‘是什么让你爸爸认为那只狗是我们的 ’我好奇地问道。”可知，第二段可描写对方是如何把这只狗和作者丢失的狗联系起来的。
2.续写线索：期待——打电话——重聚——好奇——感谢

A Meaningful Lecture
Last Saturday we invited Professor Liu, a folklore expert, to give us a lecture, whose theme is “lantern”.
The lecture was held at 3：00 p.m., lasting about 2 hours. Nearly 500 students crowded into the library for the talk.
The lecture covered a wide range of topics, ranging from the history of lantern, the meaning of lantern to how to make lanterns. The lecture was a huge success and thunderous applause filled the library.
Through the speech, not only did the students have a deep knowledge of lantern, but they also knew that lanterns carry Chinese people's best wishes as well as their wisdom.
