Here are four who pushed boundaries and changed the world.Wu Chienshiung (19121997)Born in Taicang, Jiangsu province, Wu took part in the Manhattan Project which helped create the world's first nuclear weapon. Her famous Wu experiment overturned the theory of parity in physics. This breakthrough led to a Nobel Prize that was awarded to her male colleagues, but Wu's critical role in the work was overlooked.Hedy Lamarr (19142000)Austria-born Lamarr starred in a lot of Hollywood films and made great success. She was also super smart and a self-taught inventor. During the second world war, Lamarr together with George Antheil, a composer, developed a radio guidance system. The principle of their work is part of the basis of Bluetooth and wireless technology.Katherine Johns (19182020)African American NASA mathematician Johnson's calculations were critical in getting the first US astronauts to space and back safely. During her 33-year career at NASA, Katherine earned a reputation for mastering complex calculations and was referred to as a “human computer”.Tu Youyou (1930一)Born in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, Tu shared the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with two other foreign scientists, for her work in discovering artemisinin, a drug used to treat malaria. Her work has saved millions of lives all over the world. Tu is the first Chinese Nobel winner in physiology or medicine and the first female citizen of the PRC to win a Nobel Prize.20. Besides being an inventor, Hedy Lamarr is also a(n).A. composerB. producerC. actressD. mathematicianWhat is Tu Youyou,s greatest contribution to the world?A. She treated people for cancer. B. She is the first Chinese Nobel winner.C. Her discovery helped save millions.D. Her research project is one of a kind.21. What do the four female scientists have in common according to the text?A. They shared the same interest. B. They each constructed a theory.C. They were all awarded the Nobel Prize. D. They all made a difference to the world.BPeople don't like new things. It is not any different in health care. It took plenty of time until the stethoscope。听诊器)，the symbol of health care was accepted by the medical community back in the 19th century. The instrument was invented by a French physician, who published its description in 1819, but it took several decades until doctors actually started using it.I don't expect any difference with artificial intelligence (AI). After many of my talks, physician colleagues ask me whether AT might replace them in their jobs and whether it can eventually become better at identifying the exact cause of an illness. Both will happen but not the way they imagine it. Huge waves are coming to health care. While some of physicians9tasks will be taken over by AI, they will deal with patients with real care and more patience. Doctors will not have to struggle with being up-to-date in medical research, with administrative tasks, with consultation or making notes. They do not have to have a headache about how to choose the best treatment.What even the most learned professors know cannot match cognitive computers. As the amount of information they accumulate grows, the assistance of computing solutions in medical decisions is approaching. AI will help doctors on the personal level as well as hospitals and other medical institutions on the structural level. On the institutional level, the most obvious use of AI will be data management. It could also analyze entire health care systems quickly and easily.AI will gradually appear in more and more hospitals and get through the initial stage very quickly. Although it is coming, it will need the medical community's understanding, initiative (主动，性)and drive for a better health care in order to work its best. If we introduced AI everywhere from Bolivia to Harvard, health care would not change a bit. There are many reasons for it but everyone in health care should play their part to improve those elements.22. Why does the author refer to the stethoscope?A. To show it has many limitations.B. To imply it will give way to ALC. To explain it is widely used in treating disease.D. To illustrate people refuse to accept new things. 25 . How will AI influence physicians?A. They needn't do medical research.B. They'll spare more time for patients.C. They'll have difficulty with treatments.D. They9re likely to lose their jobs to ALWhat does the author intend to convey in Paragraph 3?A. AI will face uncertainties in the future.B. Cognitive computers do better than man.C. Existing health care has its disadvantages.D. AI will open a new dimension for health care.26. What will the following paragraph（s） probably talk about?A. When health care will be improved.B. How people can promote the change.C. What benefits AI will bring about.D. How AI will transform health care.CHaving a microchip implanted in a man's brain may be common in sci-fi movie plots, but it may soon become an actual possibility.Elon musk, founder of Space X and co-founder of electric car maker Tesla-has been working on this technology. On Aug 28, Musk gave display of the chip, which was implanted into the head of a pig named Gertrude.The chip, developed by Musk's company, is the size of a coin. But don't let its size fool you. The tiny chip has over 3,000 electrodes attached to flexible threads, which can monitor about 1,000 neurons （神经元）.It collects neural signals from an area of the brain, and then transmits those signals wirelessly to nearby computers. In the display, Gertrude could be seen walking around her pen sniffing the ground while a monitor showed her brain activity.Though the technology is still in its early stage, it is encouraging for humans. This technology would solve a lot of brain injuries, which will allow the human brain to combine with an artificial intelligence.When the device can be applied to humans, its main goal will be to help those who have mobility issues. Musk hopes this technology can also be used to help those with hearing and eyesight issues and one day lead to a cure for epilepsy （癫痫）.Although such a device could, in principle, repair those problems, putting it into practice is by no means a piece of cake. Currently, the device can transmit signals from about 500 neurons in the pig's brain. Compared to 80 billion neurons in a human brain, this number is tiny. And to cover the whole human brain also means the electrodes have to be much smaller.Also, implanting the chip into the brain poses a potential danger. There is a risk of the immune system attacking this foreign body.Right now, the hope of controlling the brain via controlling a few neurons seems overly optimistic. "There are many technological challenges to overcome before Neuralink can put its devices to the purposes J YuanLanfeng, an associate professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, told China Daily. 28. What do we know about Elon Musk's microchip according to the first three paragraphs?A. It was inspired by sci-fi movie plots.B. It is able to collect wireless signals.C. It is tiny in size but powerful in function.D. It has been implanted into a human's brain. 29. What do paragraph 6 and 7 mainly talk about?A. Potential problems in applying the chip to human.B. Key differences between pigs' and humans' brains.C. The amount of time and money implanting the chip could cost.D. How the immune system is the major obstacle to the implant.30. What is the major target of the microchip in human application?A. To monitor animals9 brain activity. B. To help people with difficulty in moving freely.C. To develop a cure for epilepsy.D. To contribute to the research on Al technologies.31. How does Yuan Lanfeng feel about implanting the chip into the human brain?A. Worried.B. Excited.C. Optimistic.D. Cautious.DSince the beginning of the summer in 2022, China has been sweltering under the worst heatwave in decades. A number of people in Zhejiang, Henan, Jiangsu and Sichuan provinces were diagnosed with thermoplegia （热射病）,the most severe form of heatstroke, and some even died of this disease.In a warming world, the hazards of heatwaves are increasing. According to a study, the number of deaths caused by heatwaves in China has increased rapidly since 1979, from 3,679 persons per year in the 1980s to 15,500 persons per year in the 2010s.“Over the past four decades, the main drivers of the large increase in heatwave-related deaths in China are the rapid increase in the frequency of heatwaves, followed by population growth, population aging, and rising baseline mortality（基线死亡率）said Prof. Huang Cunrui, a researcher from Tsinghua University.High temperatures would accelerate the loss in soil moisture （水分）and hurt the growth of corn, cotton, trees and fruits. What's more, each additional degree of warming will increase crop losses to insects by 10-25 percent, threatening food security for billions of people. China has witnessed a range of extreme weather events, including heavy rainfall, flooding, tornadoes and record heatwaves this year. Meteorological officials said the country had an average temperature of 21.3 degrees Celsius in June, 0.9 degrees Celsius higher than the same period on average, and the highest record for the same period since 1961.Experts say that while extreme summer heat is not entirely new, these sorts of occurrences could be something that becomes a standard part of life, requiring people to start learning how to cope with heatwaves that may continue for the rest of summer and well into the future.Remember that even healthy, young athletes can be harmed by extreme heat, so every activity, indoors or outdoors, should be evaluated when extreme heat hits. There are some ways to stay safe during extreme heat events, such as drinking plenty of water, looking for shade or remaining in shade when outside, and avoiding cooking large meals that can add heat to your indoor environment.32. What does the underlined word “hazards“ in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Discussions.B. Studies.C. Causes.D. Dangers.33. What is the main reason for the growing heatwave-related deaths in China?A. The aging of the population.B. The larger amount of outdoor workers.C. The increasing frequency of heatwaves.D. The rise in the number of the total population.34. What can we infer from paragraph 4?A. Rural areas suffer more from heatwaves than cities.B. China has witnessed the worst climate ever in 2022.C. High temperatures have negative effects on agriculture.D. Climate change contributes to the decline in insect species.35. . What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Ways to deal with extreme heat.B. The trend of heatwaves in the future.C. The importance of keeping healthy in summer.D. Influences of global warming on the environment.第二节（共5小题；每题2.5分，满分12.5分）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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Many students study with little thought about what comes after their study session.36 Here aresome no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning.When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity, like playing a video game or watching television. But research suggests that resting after you study may help you remember what you studied. This is what is called "wakeful rest”. According to the latest research, tcA period of wakeful rest immediately after new learning boosts free recall of verbal material, "the research says.37 The basic idea is this: byreducing your activity after the study session, your brain gets a chance to rest. However, resting is difficult when you have too much excitement from electronic devices, games, lights and so on.38 Rest quietly forfive to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. Just limit the amount of excitement you get. It is really that easy!In addition to wakeful rest,39 A person who lacks sleep cannot focus attention completely andtherefore cannot learn efficiently. Also, sleep itself has a role in strengthening memory, which is essential for learning new information. Someti
