In the 1960s, Syukuro Manabe started to study how carbon dioxide (CO2二氧化碳) could make Earth warmer. He did it out of curiosity(好奇心). On Oct.5, Manabe got the 2021 Noble Prize for his work. Curiosity has driven scientists to make new findings. What kinds of curiosity led to this year’s Nobel Prize in science? Take a look!
l Nobel Prize in physics
Three scientists won this prize together. Japan-born Syukuro Manabe works at Princeton University, US. He made a computer model. It showed people that doubling CO2 would increase Earth’s temperature by more than 2 degrees. It was the first model to study climate. His work greatly helped scientists study climate later. The other two winners are German scientist Klaus Hasselmann and Italian scientist Giorgio Parisi.
l Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine
Why can we feel cold, pain or touch? American scientist David Julius and Lebanon-born Ardem Patapoutian answered this question. They found some special nerve cells(神经细胞). these cells send a message to our brains when we eat hot food or hug someone. Their findings can help treat many disease. For example, some children can’t see their hands. They need to see where their fingers are when they pick up something. This findings could help develop drugs(药物) for this. It may also help make human-like robots in the future!
l Nobel Prize in chemistry
Making new materials or drugs is not easy. You often need to build new molecules(分子). Atoms(原子) need to be put together through many chemical reactions(化学反应). It is often slow. Benjamin List from Germany and Scotland-born David MacMillan found a way to make chemical reactions faster, easier and greener. Each of them found a catalyst to do this. Their work has greatly faster the world’s drug development.

七、阅读填空(本题共5小题;第1题1分)
Thinking about visiting Antarctica(南极洲)? If you are, then there are some things that you should know about before you go. Here are things that you need to know before visiting it .
When it comes to visiting Antarctica, there is pretty possible to spend much money. Cruises(航行) booked at the last minute can go for as little as $4,000 and luxury cruises can go for as much as $ 50,000.
When people have asked about how cold it is in Antarctica, they are always told that it very rarely gets below freezing, and on the non-windy days, you could easily get around the ship in no more than a T-shirt. Cold wind is much more of a trouble than the temperature(温度) itself, so as long as your clothing is windproof, the cold really shouldn’t give you any trouble at all.
More importantly, you need to respect the penguin highways. The penguins follow the same way up and down hills, leaving tracks in the snow named “penguin highways”. These highways are the penguins favorite way , so it is important to keep away from them, and not to get too close.
A whale alert(鲸鱼警报) is exactly what you’d expect it to be. When whales are found by the ship, the captain will announce it over the loudspeaker to give anyone who wants to see the wildlife half a chance. Whale alerts can come at any hour of the day or night, so make sure you always have a battery(电池) and memory card in your camera.
