tours are available in the four parksC.all the parks can provide driving-through servicesD.visitors can have access to walking trails in the four parksBScientists regularly make vital new discoveries,but few can claim to have invented an entirely new field of science.Chemist Carolyn Bertozzi is one of them.Her discovery of biorthogonal chemistry(生物正交化学)in 2003 created a brand-new discipline of scientific investigation,which has enabled countless advances in medical science and led to a far greater understanding of biology at a molecular(分子的)level.On October 5,Bertozzi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry,jointly with two other professors.She is also the only woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize in science this year,after an all-male line-up in 2021.Bertozzi was the middle daughter of an MIT physics professor and a secretary.Few predicted that Bertozzi would be the most famous person in the family.While her academic performance was not bad in high school,she was fond of playing soccer.She end ed up being admitted to Harvard University.Despite her talent in soccer,she found it too time-consuming and quit the sport to devote herself to academics.But before becoming a rock star scientist,Bertozzi almost became an actual rock star.When she started at Harvard,she was tempted to major in music.That idea was “unpopular”with her parents,and she was timid about defying them.Instead,she chose the premed(医学预科的)track that included classes in math and sciences,and declared herself a biology major at the end of her first year of college.Her interest in music did not completely fall by the wayside,however.Bertozzi played keyboards and sang backup vocals for a hair metal band.Bertozzi,however,did not play with the band for long.Once the bands practices and performances conflicted with her labs and classes,there was only one outcome.Plus,shed soon have organic chemistry to think about a course which is infamous for weeding out pre-meds.Without any clear career ambitions up to that point,Bertozzi had been thinking about possibly becoming a doctor when,in her sophomore year(大二学年),she suddenly fell so head over heels in love with her chemistry course that she couldnt tear herself away from her textbooks long enough to go out onSaturday nights.A torture to many was pure pleasure for her.Bertozzi changed her major from bi ology to chemistry a year later.Bertozzi has sometimes joked about her having missed out on her chance to follow Morello to LosAngeles.“I didnt get on that bus,and my playing is now limited to The Wheel s on the Bus Go Round,Im waiting for my sons to get old enough to appreciate 1980s heavy metal!”4.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Bertozzi is one of those scientists who made significant new discoveries.B.Bertozzi was the only female to win a Nobel Prize in science in 2021.C.Bertozzi played keyboards and sang backup vocals throughout her college years.D.Bertozzi initially planned to become a doctor.5.The underlined word in Para 3 means .A.tell B.disobey C.approach D.threaten学科网(北京)股份有限公司6.The organic chemistry course Bertozzi took was known to be .A.easy and enjoyableB.difficult to pass for pre-med studentsC.popular among hair metal band playersD.a required course for all college students7.What kind of person do you think Carolyn Bertozzi is?A.Brave and sympathetic.B.Athletic and critical.C.Humble and passionate.D.Talented and creative.CWillie Sutton,a once celebrated American criminal,was partly famous for saying he robbed banks because“thats where the money is.”Actually,museums are where the money is.In a single gallery there can be paintings worth more,taken together,than a whole fleet of jets.And while banks can hide their money in basements,museums have to put their valuables in plain sight.Nothing could be worse than the thought of a painting as important as The Scream,Edvard Munchs impressive image of a man screaming against the backdrop of a blood-red sky,disappearing into a criminal underworld that doesnt care much about careful treatment of art works.Art theft is a vast problem around the world.As many as 10,000 precious items of all kinds disappear each year.And for smaller museums in particular,it may not be a problem they can afford to solve.The money for insurance on very famous pictures would be budget destroyers even for the largest museums.Although large museums have had their share of embarrassing robberies,the greatest problem is small institutions.Neither can afford heavy security.Large museums attach alarms to their most valuable paintings,but a modest alarm system can cost$500,000 or more.Some museums are looking into tracking equipment that would allow them to follow stolen items once they leave the museums.But conservators are concerned that if they have to insert something,it might damage the object.Meanwhile,smaller museums can barely afford enough guards,relying instead on elderly staff.Thieves sometimes try using artworks as money for other underworld deals.The planners of the 2006robbery of Russborough House near Dublin,who stole 18 paintings,tried in vain to trade them for Irish Republican Army members held in British prison.Others demand a ransom(赎金)from the museum that owns the pictures.Once thieves in Frankfurt,Germany,made off with two major works by J.M.W.Turner from the Tate Gallery in London.The paintings,worth more than$80 million,were recovered in 2012 after the Tate paid more than$5 million to people having“information”about the paintings.Though ransom is illegal in Britain,money for looking into a case is not,provided that police agree the source of the information is unconnected to the crime.All the same,where information money end s and ransom begins is often a gray area.8.Why do smaller museums face a greater challenge in preventing art theft?A.They lack experienced staff.B.They cannot afford high-tech security systems.C.They do not have valuable artworks.D.They lack interest in art conservation.学科网(北京)股份有限公司9.What is the concern of conservators regarding the use of tracking equipment to prevent art theft?A.It might damage the artwork.B.It is too expensive for smaller museums.C.It is difficult to insert into the paintings.D.It is ineffective for valuable paintings.10.From Paragraph 4,we can learn that .A.the thieves demanded a ransom from the Tate GalleryB.the Tate Gallery regained the lost paintings illegallyC.the money paid was considered an information fee,not a ransomD.the police requested the Tate Gallery to pay the money11.The purpose of this passage is .A.to remind criminals to protect and preserve the paintingB.to give suggestions on how to avoid the crimes of art theftC.to urge museums to set up more advanced security systemsD.to make people aware of art theft and the necessity of good security systemsDWho cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine?Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of peoples opinions.However,they have real impacts,as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology)revolution,represented by the Internet,has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so“yesterday”that they should try to live on ideas.This belief in“post-industrial society”has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业)with negative consequences for their economies.Even more worryingly,the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the“digital divide”between the rich countries and the poor countries.This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities.The question,however,is whether this is what the developing countries need the most.Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells,extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved peoples lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages,I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important,but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.In yet another example,a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a“borderless world”.As a result,in the last twenty years or so,many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress,going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back.Believing in such a world,many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital,labour and goods,with poor results.Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies,both at the 学科网(北京)股份有限公司national and the international levels,and for making the right career choices at the individual level.However,our fascination with the latest,and our under valuation of what has already become common,can,and has,led us in all sorts of wrong directions.12.What are the effects of people misjudgments on the influences of new technology?A.It stimulates innovation.B.It affects their personal opinions.C.It influences their use of resources.D.It leads to improved technology.13.Why is the“digital divide”a concern related to the fascination with the Internet in rich countries?A.It leads to competition between rich and poor countries.B.It results in a lack of access to technology in developing countries.C.It increases the cost of computer equipment in rich countries.D.It promotes global digital cooperation.14.From Paragraph 4,we know that .A.donating for technology is always the better optionB.the author does not provide opinions on this matterC.donating for technology and basic needs should be balancedD.donating for basic needs should be prioritized over technology15.What is the passage mainly about?A.Significance of information and communication technology.B.Serious consequences of over-emphasizing high technology.C.Technological trends guiding economic policy making.D.How to use donation money in the new age.第二节(共 5小题;每小题 3 分,满分 15

can imagine:tickets for fabulous seats to see your favorite musical act.But what if you got to the venue and something terrible had just happened to you?16 .Even while facing the prospect of extreme difficulty in your life,you are so thrilled to see your favorite group that for a couple of hours,you can put all of that behind you.17 .That is the ability to suspend our fears and worries and focus on what we love.In the example of the concert,we know that when the music ends,we may go back to our concerns,but while its playing,there is nothing we can do about them,so we might as well just give in.Life always has its music,and we dont need to be front-row center at a concert to hear it.Throughout our lives,no matter what else is going on,a melody is present.But we are often so focused on the present moment that we fail to hear the melody.18 .We can become magnificent listeners to life,with enough practice.And lets face it,this is something we were born to do,so the skill is there,waiting for us to employ it.We can tap into the music,and when we do find ourselves distracted from it,we can use consciousness to bring us right back.It is as simple as saying,“OK,Im distracted again;I am going to start listening again.”19 .学科网(北京)股份有限公司Life is always playing music,but we have to listen,and we listen by being present.We can do this.20 .When we do this,well discover that the symphony inside of us is magnificent.A.As humans,we have been given a wonderful giftB.These feelings ma</p>
