Katalin Karikó along with her colleague Drew Weissman won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2023 for the development of messenger RNA (mRNA) technology.
Karikó was born in January 1955 in a small village in Hungary. She had an ambition from early on to become a scientist. As a young adult, she became interested in mRNA, which carries DNA instructions to the protein-making engine of cells. She hoped that mRNA could play a key role in the treatment of various diseases. It became her mission to make her dream a reality to help cure patients. However, Karikó faced a shortage of money for her research in her country, and she then faced the choice of stop ping and doing something not connected to her mission or continuing her research at the price of having to leave her country.
After searching for posts and scholarships worldwide, Karikó accepted an offer from Temple University in Philadelphia for a postdoctoral fellowship. Karikó and her husband gave up everything they had in their homeland and bought a one-way ticket to the U. S., where they knew no one. She was aware of the risks but didn’t feel discouraged. As she put it in an award acceptance speech, “Follow your dreams and don’t hesitate to learn anything from anyone.”
She was initially on track to become a full professor but received repeated fund rejections. Undeterred by the problems and challenges, she chose to continue her research. By focusing on what mattered to her every day, she “accidentally” met her work partner Drew Weissman who was also interested in mRNA. They teamed up to work on mRNA and published papers about their groundbreaking discovery for years. Then the pandemic hit the world. The changed mRNA technology Karikó and Weissman invented was then used in vaccines that prevented the infection effectively.
Karikó’s life is a testament to finding one’s passion and then pursuing it every single day. Many of us know what we are fond of, but we are not good self-motivators on a daily basis.
4. What can we learn about Karikó from paragraph 2
A. She had a clear sense of purpose. B. She was poor when she was young.
C. She was hesitant to leave her country. D. She longed to be a doctor to cure patients.
5. What does the underlined part “Undeterred by” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Being afraid of. B. Not motivated by.
C. Being unaware of. D. Not discouraged by.
6. What is probably the main contribution of Karikó
A. Simplifying the mRNA technology. B. Making the structure of mRNA clear.
C. Laying the foundation for mRNA vaccines. D. Developing a vaccine for a serious disease.
7. What can we learn from Karikó’s success
A. Every minute counts. B. Two heads are better than one.
C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D. Necessity is the mother of invention.
C
A modern problem of the outdoor lifestyle is how to keep your devices powered. Battery packs are one option, but they have limited use and can be rather heavy. The team at Aurea Technologies has come to the rescue with the Shine Turbine, a lightweight wind-powered turbine (涡轮机) that offers renewable energy to outdoor enthusiasts who need to re charge electronic devices.
Last year, the Shine Turbine launched a campaign that was fully funded in a matter of hours, highlighting the level of interest in this innovative product. Designed in Nova Scotia, Canada, the turbine weighs in at just three pounds and is about the size of a water bottle for easy pack-and-go accessibility. While out backpacking or working remotely, the Shine Turbine takes just a few minutes to set up. There are no loose pieces to worry about losing while you f old out the high-efficiency blades and place the turbine on the retractable stand (可伸缩支架). Everything you need is stored inside the container.
This clean energy option also has battery storage, so you can charge your devices as the wind blows. Then you can take it with you for more charging later. It can also be pre - charged before you head out using a standard wall outlet.
“Wind is the second-largest producer of clean energy in the world, yet most people don’t have direct access to it. As a team of outdoor enthusiasts with backgrounds in science and engineering, we set out to create a wind power product that gives users the freedom to produce their own clean energy day or night, rain, cloud, or shine,” said Cat Adalay, CEO and founder of Aurea Technologies.
The portable design makes it convenient to use for day trip s to the beach or mountains, camping trips or as an emergency backup. “To live sustainably (可持续地), we need to rethink the ways in which we create and use energy,” added Adalay. “The simplicity of our design, two-minute setup, and ability to rapidly generate and store power, does just that. It’s a game-changer in allowing people to access wind energy in the wind.”
8. What can we learn about the Shine Turbine from the text
A. It is intelligent and works efficiently. B. It is user- friendly but expensive to buy.
C. It is sustainable and convenient to carry. D. It is cost- effective but breaks down easily.
9. What kind of people might need the Shine Turbine most according to the text
A. Emergency rescuers. B. Sea surfboarders.
C. Rock- climbing lovers. D. Geological explorers.
10. Why do the researchers create the Shine Turbine
A. Their product obtains financial support. B. They want to gain direct access to wind.
C. They attempt to prevent global warming. D. Their desired life promotes green rethink.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Wind: the world’s second clean energy B. Aurea Technologies: innovative pioneers
C. The Shine Turbine: a green power product D. Outdoor lovers: environment campaigners
D
Due to social events in recent years, the relationship between social media and teenagers mental health has been under heated discussion.
On Sept 30 a British court decided that content on social media platforms contributed to the depression of 14-year-old Molly Russell. Russell interacted with 2,100 posts related to pessimistic, self-harm in the six months, leading up to her depression, reported the Observer website.
The correlation has also been proved by science. A study in 2019 showed that the frequent use of social media by teenagers can lead to a decrease in their mental health.
So, how can we make sure that teenagers won’t get hurt while using social media Chan, 18, from the University of Macao shared her experience. Chan said that she once came across short videos romanticizing mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. She immediately reported them to the platform.
But she said that the users’ power to regulate videos is still limited. “It is ultimately the responsibility of the social media platforms to filter out content that is potentially harmful.” She also noticed that the age of social media users has become increasingly younger. Society should pay attention to this, she said. “Since it’s not possible to cut off access to social media for younger users, why not introduce a ‘supervision mode’ with which parents can regulate the content to be viewed by teenagers beforehand ” she said.
Wu Chengyu, 18, studies at Tianjin Experimental High School. He said that several years ago he came across a game that lures teenagers to self-abuse and depression. He quickly chose to ignore it so he wouldn’t be influenced. This is the same way he reacts when exposed to negative content on social media.
In Wu’s opinion, teenagers today should improve their social media literacy (素养), telling real from fake and good from bad. “Also, everyone can be a content creator on social media.” he said, “We should all strengthen our awareness of ethics”.
12. What led to Russell’s depression according to a British court
A. Her interaction with others online.
B Negative information on social media platforms.
C. Short videos she watched on the Internet.
D. Her addiction to online posts.
13. Which of the following statements does Chan probably agree with
A. The number of younger Social media users should be limited.
B. Parents should monitor the content to be viewed by teenagers in advance.
C. A supervision mode ought to be introduced by parents.
D. It is the responsibility of the society to romanticize mental illnesses.
14. Who should be ultimately responsible for removing negative content according to Chan
A. Parents. B. Social media platforms
C. Content creators. D. Social media platforms.
15. What does Wu suggest teenagers should do
A. Use social media wisely. B. Reduce social media usage.
C. Stay away from online games. D. Learn more about social media.

As she put it in an award acceptance speech, “Follow your dreams and don’t hesitate to learn anything from anyone.”
She was initially on track to become a full professor but received repeated fund rejections. Undeterred by the problems and challenges, she chose to continue her research. By focusing on what mattered to her every day, she “accidentally” met her work partner Drew Weissman who was also interested in mRNA. They teamed up to work on mRNA and published papers about their groundbreaking discovery for years. Then the pandemic hit the world. The changed mRNA technology Karikó and Weissman invented was then used in vaccines that prevented the infection effectively.
Karikó’s life is a testament to finding one’s passion and then pursuing it every single day. Many of us know what we are fond of, but we are not good self-motivators on a daily basis.
4. What can we learn about Karikó from paragraph 2
A. She had a clear sense of purpose. B. She was poor when she was young.
C. She was hesitant to leave her country. D. She longed to be a doctor to cure patients.
5. What does the underlined part “Undeterred by” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Being afraid of. B. Not motivated by.
C. Being unaware of. D. Not discouraged by.
6. What is probably the main contribution of Karikó
A. Simplifying the mRNA technology. B. Making the structure of mRNA clear.
C. Laying the foundation for mRNA vaccines. D. Developing a vaccine for a serious disease.
7. What can we learn from Karikó’s success
A. Every minute counts. B. Two heads are better than one.
C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D. Necessity is the mother of invention.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. C

A modern problem of the outdoor lifestyle is how to keep your devices powered. Battery packs are one option, but they have limited use and can be rather heavy. The team at Aurea Technologies has come to the rescue with the Shine Turbine, a lightweight wind-powered turbine (涡轮机) that offers renewable energy to outdoor enthusiasts who need to re charge electronic devices.
Last year, the Shine Turbine launched a campaign that was fully funded in a matter of hours, highlighting the level of interest in this innovative product. Designed in Nova Scotia, Canada, the turbine weighs in at just three pounds and is about the size of a water bottle for easy pack-and-go accessibility. While out backpacking or working remotely, the Shine Turbine takes just a few minutes to set up. There are no loose pieces to worry about losing while you f old out the high-efficiency blades and place the turbine on the retractable stand (可伸缩支架). Everything you need is stored inside the container.
This clean energy option also has battery storage, so you can charge your devices as the wind blows. Then you can take it with you for more charging later. It can also be pre - charged before you head out using a standard wall outlet.
“Wind is the second-largest producer of clean energy in the world, yet most people don’t have direct access to it. As a team of outdoor enthusiasts with backgrounds in science and engineering, we set out to create a wind power product that gives users the freedom to produce their own clean energy day or night, rain, cloud, or shine,” said Cat Adalay, CEO and founder of Aurea Technologies.
The portable design makes it convenient to use for day trip s to the beach or mountains, camping trips or as an emergency backup. “To live sustainably (可持续地), we need to rethink the ways in which we create and use energy,” added Adalay. “The simplicity of our design, two-minute setup, and ability to rapidly generate and store power, does just that. It’s a game-changer in allowing people to access wind energy in the wind.”
8. What can we learn about the Shine Turbine from the text
A. It is intelligent and works efficiently. B. It is user- friendly but expensive to buy.
C. It is sustainable and convenient to carry. D. It is cost- effective but breaks down easily.
9. What kind of people might need the Shine Turbine most according to the text
A. Emergency rescuers. B. Sea surfboarders.
C. Rock- climbing lovers. D. Geological explorers.
10. Why do the researchers create the Shine Turbine
A. Their product obtains financial support. B. They want to gain direct access to wind.
C. They attempt to prevent global warming. D. Their desired life promotes green rethink.

Due to social events in recent years, the relationship between social media and teenagers mental health has been under heated discussion.
On Sept 30 a British court decided that content on social media platforms contributed to the depression of 14-year-old Molly Russell. Russell interacted with 2,100 posts related to pessimistic, self-harm in the six months, leading up to her depression, reported the Observer website.
The correlation has also been proved by science. A study in 2019 showed that the frequent use of social media by teenagers can lead to a decrease in their mental health.
So, how can we make sure that teenagers won’t get hurt while using social media Chan, 18, from the University of Macao shared her experience. Chan said that she once came across short videos romanticizing mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. She immediately reported them to the platform.
But she said that the users’ power to regulate videos is still limited. “It is ultimately the responsibility of the social media platforms to filter out content that is potentially harmful.” She also noticed that the age of social media users has become increasingly younger. Society should pay attention to this, she said. “Since it’s not possible to cut off access to social media for younger users, why not introduce a ‘supervision mode’ with which parents can regulate the content to be viewed by teenagers beforehand ” she said.
Wu Chengyu, 18, studies at Tianjin Experimental High School. He said that several years ago he came across a game that lures teenagers to self-abuse and depression. He quickly chose to ignore it so he wouldn’t be influenced. This is the same way he reacts when exposed to negative content on social media.
In Wu’s opinion, teenagers today should improve their social media literacy (素养), telling real from fake and good from bad. “Also, everyone can be a content creator on social media.” he said, “We should all strengthen our awareness of ethics”.
12. What led to Russell’s depression according to a British court
A Her interaction with others online.
B. Negative information on social media platforms.
C Short videos she watched on the Internet.
D. Her addiction to online posts.
13. Which of the following statements does Chan probably agree with
A. The number of younger Social media users should be limited.
B. Parents should monitor the content to be viewed by teenagers in advance.
C. A supervision mode ought to be introduced by parents.
D. It is the responsibility of the society to romanticize mental illnesses.
14. Who should be ultimately responsible for removing negative content according to Chan
A. Parents. B. Social media platforms
C. Content creators. D. Social media platforms.
15. What does Wu suggest teenagers should do
A. Use social media wisely. B. Reduce social media usage.
C. Stay away from online games. D. Learn more about social media.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A

Katalin Karikó along with her colleague Drew Weissman won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2023 for the development of messenger RNA (mRNA) technology.
Karikó was born in January 1955 in a small village in Hungary. She had an ambition from early on to become a scientist. As a young adult, she became interested in mRNA, which carries DNA instructions to the protein-making engine of cells. She hoped that mRNA could play a key role in the treatment of various diseases. It became her mission to make her dream a reality to help cure patients. However, Karikó faced a shortage of money for her research in her country, and she then faced the choice of stop ping and doing something not connected to her mission or continuing her research at the price of having to leave her country.
After searching for posts and scholarships worldwide, Karikó accepted an offer from Temple University in Philadelphia for a postdoctoral fellowship. Karikó and her husband gave up everything they had in their homeland and bought a one-way ticket to the U. S., where they knew no one. She was aware of the risks but didn’t feel discouraged. As she put it in an award acceptance speech, “Follow your dreams and don’t hesitate to learn anything from anyone.”
She was initially on track to become a full professor but received repeated fund rejections. Undeterred by the problems and challenges, she chose to continue her research. By focusing on what mattered to her every day, she “accidentally” met her work partner Drew Weissman who was also interested in mRNA. They teamed up to work on mRNA and published papers about their groundbreaking discovery for years. Then the pandemic hit the world. The changed mRNA technology Karikó and Weissman invented was then used in vaccines that prevented the infection effectively.
Karikó’s life is a testament to finding one’s passion and then pursuing it every single day. Many of us know what we are fond of, but we are not good self-motivators on a daily basis.
4. What can we learn about Karikó from paragraph 2
A. She had a clear sense of purpose. B. She was poor when she was young.
C. She was hesitant to leave her country. D. She longed to be a doctor to cure patients.
5. What does the underlined part “Undeterred by” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Being afraid of. B. Not motivated by.
C. Being unaware of. D. Not discouraged by.
6. What is probably the main contribution of Karikó
A. Simplifying the mRNA technology. B. Making the structure of mRNA clear.
C. Laying the foundation for mRNA vaccines. D. Developing a vaccine for a serious disease.
7. What can we learn from Karikó’s success
A. Every minute counts. B. Two heads are better than one.
C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D. Necessity is the mother of invention.

Katalin Karikó along with her colleague Drew Weissman won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2023 for the development of messenger RNA (mRNA) technology.
Karikó was born in January 1955, in a small village in Hungary. She had an ambition from early on to become a scientist. As a young adult, she became interested in mRNA, which carries DNA instructions to the protein-making engine of cells. She hoped that mRNA could play a key role in the treatment of various diseases. It became her mission to make her dream a reality to help cure patients. However, Karikó faced a shortage of money for her research in her country, and she then faced the choice of stop ping and doing something not connected to her mission or continuing her research at the price of having to leave her country.
After searching for posts and scholarships worldwide, Karikó accepted an offer from Temple University in Philadelphia for a postdoctoral fellowship. Karikó and her husband gave up everything they had in their homeland and bought a one-way ticket to the U. S., where they knew no one. She was aware of the risks but didn’t feel discouraged. As she put it in an award acceptance speech, “Follow your dreams and don’t hesitate to learn anything from anyone.”
She was initially on track to become a full professor but received repeated fund rejections. Undeterred by the problems and challenges, she chose to continue her research. By focusing on what mattered to her every day, she “accidentally” met her work partner Drew Weissman who was also interested in mRNA. They teamed up to work on mRNA and published papers about their groundbreaking discovery for years. Then the pandemic hit the world. The changed mRNA technology Karikó and Weissman invented was then used in vaccines that prevented the infection effectively.
Karikó’s life is a testament to finding one’s passion and then pursuing it every single day. Many of us know what we are fond of, but we are not good self-motivators on a daily basis.
4. What can we learn about Karikó from paragraph 2
A. She had a clear sense of purpose. B. She was poor when she was young.
C. She was hesitant to leave her country. D. She longed to be a doctor to cure patients.
5. What does the underlined part “Undeterred by” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Being afraid of. B. Not motivated by.
C. Being unaware of. D. Not discouraged by.
6. What is probably the main contribution of Karikó
A. Simplifying the mRNA technology. B. Making the structure of mRNA clear.
C. Laying the foundation for mRNA vaccines. D. Developing a vaccine for a serious disease.
7. What can we learn from Karikó’s success
A. Every minute counts. B. Two heads are better than one.
C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D. Necessity is the mother of invention.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. C
C
A modern problem of the outdoor lifestyle is how to keep your devices powered. Battery packs are one option, but they have limited use and can be rather heavy. The team at Aurea Technologies has come to the rescue with the Shine Turbine, a lightweight wind-powered turbine (涡轮机) that offers renewable energy to outdoor enthusiasts who need to re charge electronic devices.
Last year, the Shine Turbine launched a campaign that was fully funded in a matter of hours, highlighting the level of interest in this innovative product. Designed in Nova Scotia, Canada, the turbine weighs in at just three pounds and is about the size of a water bottle for easy pack-and-go accessibility. While out backpacking or working remotely, the Shine Turbine takes just a few minutes to set up. There are no loose pieces to worry about losing while you f old out the high-efficiency blades and place the turbine on the retractable stand (可伸缩支架). Everything you need is stored inside the container.
This clean energy option also has battery storage, so you can charge your devices as the wind blows. Then you can take it with you for more charging later. It can also be pre - charged before you head out using a standard wall outlet.
“Wind is the second-largest producer of clean energy in the world, yet most people don’t have direct access to it. As a team of outdoor enthusiasts with backgrounds in science and engineering, we set out to create a wind power product that gives users the freedom to produce their own clean energy day or night, rain, cloud, or shine,” said Cat Adalay, CEO and founder of Aurea Technologies.
The portable design makes it convenient to use for day trip s to the beach or mountains, camping trips or as an emergency backup. “To live sustainably (可持续地), we need to rethink the ways in which we create and use energy,” added Adalay. “The simplicity of our design, two-minute setup, and ability to rapidly generate and store power, does just that. It’s a game-changer in allowing people to access wind energy in the wind.”
8. What can we learn about the Shine Turbine from the text
A. It is intelligent and works efficiently. B. It is user- friendly but expensive to buy.
C. It is sustainable and convenient to carry. D. It is cost- effective but breaks down easily.
9. What kind of people might need the Shine Turbine most according to the text
A. Emergency rescuers. B. Sea surfboarders.
C. Rock- climbing lovers. D. Geological explorers.
10. Why do the researchers create the Shine Turbine
A. Their product obtains financial support. B. They want to gain direct access to wind.
C. They attempt to prevent global warming. D. Their desired life promotes green rethink.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Wind: the world’s second clean energy B. Aurea Technologies: innovative pioneers
C. The Shine Turbine: a green power product D. Outdoor lovers: environment campaigners
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. C
D
Due to social events in recent years, the relationship between social media and teenagers mental health has been under heated discussion.
On Sept 30 a British court decided that content on social media platforms contributed to the depression of 14-year-old Molly Russell. Russell interacted with 2,100 posts related to pessimistic, self-harm in the six months, leading up to her depression, reported the Observer website.
The correlation has also been proved by science. A study in 2019 showed that the frequent use of social media by teenagers can lead to a decrease in their mental health.
So, how can we make sure that teenagers won’t get hurt while using social media Chan, 18, from the University of Macao shared her experience. Chan said that she once came across short videos romanticizing mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. She immediately reported them to the platform.

Society should pay attention to this, she said. “Since it’s not possible to cut off access to social media for younger users, why not introduce a ‘supervision mode’ with which parents can regulate the content to be viewed by teenagers beforehand ” she said.
Wu Chengyu, 18, studies at Tianjin Experimental High School. He said that several years ago he came across a game that lures teenagers to self-abuse and depression. He quickly chose to ignore it so he wouldn’t be influenced. This is the same way he reacts when exposed to negative content on social media.
In Wu’s opinion, teenagers today should improve their social media literacy (素养), telling real from fake and good from bad. “Also, everyone can be a content creator on social media.” he said, “We should all strengthen our awareness of ethics”.
12. What led to Russell’s depression according to a British court
A Her interaction with others online.
B. Negative information on social media platforms.
C Short videos she watched on the Internet.
D. Her addiction to online posts.
13. Which of the following statements does Chan probably agree with

【答案】Dear Linda,
How’s it going I’m glad to hear from and sorry to know that you have difficulty in learning English, so I’m writing to give you some useful advice on it.
First of all, I suggest you read the English words, sentences and short articles aloud every morning. Meanwhile, try to memorize words and sentences as much as possible, which helps enlarge your vocabulary, Besides, it is suggested that you read a variety of English books after school, which is good for your writing. Last but not least, you should use English more often, such as trying communicating in English with classmates.
As the saying goes, “Practice makes perfect.” If you hold on to your dream and consider my suggestions, I’m sure you will be successful in your English learning some day. I’m looking forward to receiving your good news next time.
Yours,
Li Hua
