A protein is a large, complex macromolecule composed of one or more long chains of amino

acids (氨基酸). Present in and vital to every living cell, proteins are essential for the structure,

function, and regulation of the body’s tissues and organs. Yet, before Frederick Sanger — one of

only two people to ever receive two Nobel Prizes in the same category — little was known about

proteins and the sequence (排序) of their amino acid chains.

Frederick Sanger graduated with a doctorate in biochemistry from St. John's College in 1943.

Yet, it wasn’t until his work with insulin (胰岛素) that Sanger differentiated himself in the field of

chemistry. His first true accomplishment occurred when he successfully determined the complete

amino acid sequence of two protein chains in bovine(牛) insulin in the early 1950s. His research

3 / 13

学科 网(北 京)股 份有限 公司

proved that proteins have a defined chemical composition, and he eventually concluded that every

protein had a unique sequence. In 1958, Sanger was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for

showing how amino acids link together to form insulin, and, therefore, providing the tools for

scientists to analyze any protein in the body.

He went on to think about the ideas of how DNA codes for proteins. Together with another

scientist, Sanger published the “Plus and Minus Technique,” a sequencing procedure to determine

the order of the chemical bases which spell out the genetic code for all living things. When he

designed a more efficient method in 1977, he named it the “Sanger Method”. The “Sanger Method”

allows long stretches of DNA to be rapidly and accurately sequenced, which earned him his

second Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1980.江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126

This method eventually allowed scientists to decode the three billion letters of the human

genetic code, giving science the ability to distinguish between normal and abnormal genes. In the

same way, Sanger’s work directly contributed to the development of biotechnology drugs like

human growth hormone.

24. Why does the passage starts with mentioning the function of proteins?

A. To lead in the topic of biochemistry.

B. To attract the attention of the readers.

C. To illustrate the significance of Sanger’s discovery.

D. To show the complexity of bodies’ tissues and organs.

25. What mainly leads to Sanger’s success

A. His life-long commitment to the same scientific field.

B. His choice of majoring in biochemistry in college.

C. His cooperative relationship with other scientists.

D. His courage of challenging former research findings.

26. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. Side effects of Sanger's findings.

B. Sanger’s primary methods of research.

C. Practical applications of Sanger' s discovery.

D. Proper justifications for Sanger's research process.

27. The author develops this article _____.

A. in order of time B. in order of space

C. by making comparisons D. by giving examples

C

Many say artificial intelligence is the biggest invention since the Internet. The sudden rise of

large language models like ChatGPT has fueled the hype(大肆宜传)to a higher level—AI will be

the common language the world speaks and humans can build the Tower of Babel again. With the

technology in hand, it seems spending thousands of hours to master a different tongue is simply a

waste of time.

Duolingo’s co-founder and CEO Luis von Ahn has a different opinion He said it’s still

worthwhile for people to learn a new language despite the rapid advancement of AI powered

translation technology in the past decade. “Computers are better than humans playing chess. And

there are more people playing chess now than there’s ever been,” said von Ahn. “People just want

to do certain things even if computers are good at it.

According to Duolingo's research, the majority of new language learners agreed learning a

4 / 13

学科 网(北 京)股 份有限 公司

new language could make travelling a better experience and more fin; and 80 percent think

learning new languages will inspire them to be travelers with an adventurous spirit.

Luis von Ahn co-founded Duolingo in 2011, which offers customized learning exercises,

immediate feedback and gamification(游戏化). The platform provides equal access with over 40

languages to everyone who wants to learn. Last year, the company even rolled out sessions for its

first dialect language - Cantonese. The app attracted many Mandarin leaners as well. Their

primary motivation to try the language was for “intellectual(智力的) development,” according to

the company. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126

Duolingo has applied AI technology to the language learning platform since day one. With a

powerful AI tool, it can provide conversations based on previous exchanges with the user to make

language leaning more natural. The AI can understand the sentences and react to the input from

learners to keep the conversation going.

The goal for the language learning app for von Ahn himself, is to operate on par with a

human tutor. He said Duolingo is already as effective as study in a classroom. “I think with AI,

we’re getting closer and closer to being as good as a one-to-one human tutor.” he said.

28. The author writes the underlined part in paragraph 1 to show that many people believe ______.

A. learning a second language is significant to humans

B. AI should not be used as a common language for humans

C. it is unnecessary for humans to learn different languages

D. humans are powerful enough to master different languages

29. Why do people want to learn a new language according to Duolingo's CEO and research?

A. Out of human nature.

B. Out of pressure of travelling,

C. Thanks to human’s increasing intelligence.

D. Thanks to the advancement of AI technology.

30. What does the underlined phrase “on par with” in paragraph 7 mean?

A. together with B. instead of C. specially for D. as well as

31. What is the best title of this text?

A. People learn languages to enrich their life, not ruin it.

B. Duolingo uses AI to help, language learning, not kill it.

C. With Duolingo, learning a second language is time-consuming.

D. Helped by Duolingo, more people are learning a new language.

D

The great British public loves two things: dogs and banning things. What happens when the

two passions bump into each other?

To answer that, consider the dilemma of the Bully XL, a dog that has huge, powerful jaws

and can grow to be 60kg. To fans the creature is a gentle giant. To campaigners, it is a threat

behind a sharp increase in fatal attacks.

After a man was killed by a pair of the dogs in Staffordshire on September 14th, the

government sided with the campaigners. Adopting the serious manner of a prime minister

declaring war, Rishi Sunak said that the Bully XL would be banned by the end of the year.

Although they account for barely 1% of all dogs, Bully XL carry out almost half of all

reported attacks, says Bully Watch, a campaign group. The data are not exact, as not all dog bites

are recorded. But nor are they equal. Gentle bites from a Chihuahua are one thing; an attack by a

5 / 13

学科 网(北 京)股 份有限 公司

monster mutt (凶猛的杂交犬) is another.

Before the Bully can be banned, however, the government is struggling to define (定义) it.

Only then would it be added to a list of four existing illegal breeds (品种) with consequences for

anyone who owns, sells, breeds or abandons them.

Lawyers argue that the law used, the Dangerous Dogs Act of 1991, is a mess. Animal

charities say bad owners are the problem — they can always find large equally fierce dogs.

The affair shows how it can be easy to influence policy. The campaign against them began as

a one-man operation by an academic. By attracting attention mostly via social media, he and some

volunteers won press and politicians' interest. It helps that the problem is cheap to fix, but the

posting-to-policy pipeline can be remarkably short for a specific campaign to succeed. It pays to

be dogged.

32. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?

A. The British are divided over Bully XL.

B. The British like arguing over things.

C. Bully XL is gentle unless made annoyed.

D. Bully XL often attacks people.

33. What does “they” (underlined in Paragraph 4) refer to?

A. Bully XL. B. Dog bites.

C. The dog attack data. D. Gentle bites from Chihuahua.

34. According to animal charities, who are to answer for the tragic attacks?

A. Fierce large dogs. B. The messy law.

C. The victims themselves. D. The dog owners.

35. The text seems to suggest that the Bully XL ban was declared ______.

A. under the influence of campaigners B. due to the life losses by dog attacks

C. under the pressure of lawyers D. due to the call from animal charities

A fixed mindset of interest can harm creativity and innovation. If people believe they are

limited to only a few particular interests and, in consequence, do not explore other areas, they may

miss seeing important connections across different dimensions. 36 Those who with a

growth mindset are also more likely to be creative when solving problems.

37 In June we published findings from an intervention that succeeded in that aim. In

two studies involving more than 700 first-year liberal arts undergraduates, we began by assessing

how our participants saw themselves. The majority held strong interests in the arts, humanities and

social sciences. 38

We then randomly assigned students to either our intervention or a study skills module. Our

intervention included reading and effective writing activities that helped students think about

interests and passions as cultivated(培育) rather than as simply found and fixed. 39 The

study skills module had a similar set of exercises but with an emphasis on building classic skills,

such as time management and active learning.

These students were required to take at least one math and science course during their first

year. That meant we could check how the intervention may have influenced their perspectives on

math and science. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126

6 / 13

学科 网(北 京)股 份有限 公司

By the end of the year, students who had received the intervention were more interested in

their required math and science courses than those who received the study skills module—and this

boost was particularly apparent among students who initially reported that they were not a

“math-and-science person.” 40 These students became more skilled in math and science

and grew into interdisciplinary scholars.

A. How can a growth mindset of interest be cultivated?

B. Meanwhile, a growth mindset of interest comes with many advantages.

C. So can a growth mindset of interest be taught?

D. Moreover, most reported that they were not a “math-and-science person.”

E. They also earned better grades in courses than those receiving the study skills module.

F. However, a growth mindset of interest can fuel people's further exploration to different

fields.

G. For example, students read an article stating the benefits of viewing interests as

developable.

Australian researchers say they have produced the most complete history of the universe by

mapping to date, saying the study 56 (offer) new ideas about how the universe might

have started. The first map shows temperature and density of the universe 57 it

expanded and cooled, the second map 58 (illustrate) the mass and size of all objects in

the universe. The study suggests the universe may have started as 59 is known as an

instanton (瞬子), not a singularity(奇点). An instanton has a defined size and mass. A singularity

60 (define) as a point of huge density and temperature. Put 61 (simple), this would

mean that the beginning of the universe was not infinite( 无 限 的 ) 62 size, which is

important to researchers because they say what lies beyond the 63 (limit) of the universe

is also a major mystery. Perhaps the research into the beginning of the universe could help to

answer some basic 64 (science) questions about life beyond Earth. The basic idea is that

if we can figure out how we got there, maybe we can make better guesses about 65

there have been other life forms elsewhere.

wonderland. In a small village nestled amidst the icy landscape, an unusual tale unfolded, starring

a dog named Max and a group of villagers. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126

Max, a loyal and spirited companion, belonged to a lovely girl named Emma. Together, they

braved the harsh winters, finding comfort in their unwavering (坚定的) bond. One fateful evening,

as the icy winds howled outside, a sudden snowstorm struck the village. Snow piled high, making

the roads dangerous and act of seeing nearly impossible. The village’s power supply was cut off,

leading the world into darkness.

In the midst of the storm, Emma found herself lost in the freezing wilderness. She had gone

out to fetch firewood for her family while Max was kept at home, but the snowstorm had

disoriented (使...失去方向) her, leaving her in severe danger. Emma's parents, consumed with

worry, desperately searched for her. “Emma! Emma!” her mother called out her daughter’s name

madly but got no response. Emma very probably lost her consciousness on such a cold night.

More and more villagers joined the search. They combed through the dark woods, their

breath forming misty clouds. The wind howled mournfully(哀伤地), echoing everyone’s worry.

Max, sensing the urgency and the bond between humans, sprang into action. With his keen

sense of smell and great determination, he set out to find the lost girl. Through the biting cold and

swirling snow, Max followed Emma’s scent(气味), not frightened by the freezing temperatures.

注意:

(1)续写词数应为 150 个左右;

(2)所给开头两段如下:

Para l: As Max searched the frozen landscape, he encountered numerous challenges.

Para 2: As the two figures emerged from the storm, everyone watched in awe(敬畏).

Mr/Ms Editor,

Recently, visiting museums has emerged as a new lifestyle in many cities, with several renow

ned museums becoming the “must-visit” destinations for the general public.

The surge in “museum fever” can be attributed to various factors. People’s increasing enthusi

asm for traditional Chinese culture has drawn them to seek a deeper understanding of China’s rich

cultural heritage and history. Besides, the application of new technologies has made cultural relics

more accessible, which appeals to the younger generations.

From my perspective, the museum fever is a pursuit of beauty that can enhance aesthetics and

broaden horizons. The immersive experience is of greater significance than anything else.

Yours,

Li Hua
