A prtein is a large, cmplex macrmlecule cmpsed f ne r mre lng chains f amin acids (氨基酸). Present in and vital t every living cell, prteins are essential fr the structure, functin, and regulatin f the bdy’s tissues and rgans. Yet, befre Frederick Sanger — ne f nly tw peple t ever receive tw Nbel Prizes in the same categry — little was knwn abut prteins and the sequence (排序) f their amin acid chains.
Frederick Sanger graduated with a dctrate in bichemistry frm St. Jhn's Cllege in 1943. Yet, it wasn’t until his wrk with insulin (胰岛素) that Sanger differentiated himself in the field f chemistry. His first true accmplishment ccurred when he successfully determined the cmplete amin acid sequence f tw prtein chains in bvine(牛) insulin in the early 1950s. His research prved that prteins have a defined chemical cmpsitin, and he eventually cncluded that every prtein had a unique sequence. In 1958, Sanger was awarded the Nbel Prize in Chemistry fr shwing hw amin acids link tgether t frm insulin, and, therefre, prviding the tls fr scientists t analyze any prtein in the bdy.
He went n t think abut the ideas f hw DNA cdes fr prteins. Tgether with anther scientist, Sanger published the “Plus and Minus Technique,” a sequencing prcedure t determine the rder f the chemical bases which spell ut the genetic cde fr all living things. When he designed a mre efficient methd in 1977, he named it the “Sanger Methd”. The “Sanger Methd” allws lng stretches f DNA t be rapidly and accurately sequenced, which earned him his secnd Nbel Prize in Chemistry in 1980. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126
This methd eventually allwed scientists t decde the three billin letters f the human genetic cde, giving science the ability t distinguish between nrmal and abnrmal genes. In the same way, Sanger’s wrk directly cntributed t the develpment f bitechnlgy drugs like human grwth hrmne.
24. Why des the passage starts with mentining the functin f prteins?
A. T lead in the tpic f bichemistry.
B. T attract the attentin f the readers.
C. T illustrate the significance f Sanger’s discvery.
D. T shw the cmplexity f bdies’ tissues and rgans.
25. What mainly leads t Sanger’s success
A. His life-lng cmmitment t the same scientific field.
B. His chice f majring in bichemistry in cllege.
C. His cperative relatinship with ther scientists.
D. His curage f challenging frmer research findings.
26. What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A. Side effects f Sanger's findings.
B. Sanger’s primary methds f research.
C. Practical applicatins f Sanger' s discvery.
D. Prper justificatins fr Sanger's research prcess.
27. The authr develps this article _____.
A. in rder f timeB. in rder f space

Many say artificial intelligence is the biggest inventin since the Internet. The sudden rise f large language mdels like ChatGPT has fueled the hype(大肆宜传)t a higher level—AI will be the cmmn language the wrld speaks and humans can build the Twer f Babel again. With the technlgy in hand, it seems spending thusands f hurs t master a different tngue is simply a waste f time.
Duling’s c-funder and CEO Luis vn Ahn has a different pinin He said it’s still wrthwhile fr peple t learn a new language despite the rapid advancement f AI pwered translatin technlgy in the past decade. “Cmputers are better than humans playing chess. And there are mre peple playing chess nw than there’s ever been,” said vn Ahn. “Peple just want t d certain things even if cmputers are gd at it.
Accrding t Duling's research, the majrity f new language learners agreed learning a new language culd make travelling a better experience and mre fin; and 80 percent think learning new languages will inspire them t be travelers with an adventurus spirit.
Luis vn Ahn c-funded Duling in 2011, which ffers custmized learning exercises, immediate feedback and gamificatin(游戏化). The platfrm prvides equal access with ver 40 languages t everyne wh wants t learn. Last year, the cmpany even rlled ut sessins fr its first dialect language - Cantnese. The app attracted many Mandarin leaners as well. Their primary mtivatin t try the language was fr “intellectual(智力的) develpment,” accrding t the cmpany. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126
Duling has applied AI technlgy t the language learning platfrm since day ne. With a pwerful AI tl, it can prvide cnversatins based n previus exchanges with the user t make language leaning mre natural. The AI can understand the sentences and react t the input frm learners t keep the cnversatin ging.
The gal fr the language learning app fr vn Ahn himself, is t perate n par with a human tutr. He said Duling is already as effective as study in a classrm. “I think with AI, we’re getting clser and clser t being as gd as a ne-t-ne human tutr.” he said.
28. The authr writes the underlined part in paragraph 1 t shw that many peple believe ______.
A. learning a secnd language is significant t humans
B. AI shuld nt be used as a cmmn language fr humans
C. it is unnecessary fr humans t learn different languages
D. humans are pwerful enugh t master different languages
29. Why d peple want t learn a new language accrding t Duling's CEO and research?
A. Out f human nature.
B. Out f pressure f travelling,
C. Thanks t human’s increasing intelligence.
D. Thanks t the advancement f AI technlgy.
30. What des the underlined phrase “n par with” in paragraph 7 mean?
A. tgether with B. instead fC. specially frD. as well as
31. What is the best title f this text?
A. Peple learn languages t enrich their life, nt ruin it.
B. Duling uses AI t help, language learning, nt kill it.

The great British public lves tw things: dgs and banning things. What happens when the tw passins bump int each ther?
T answer that, cnsider the dilemma f the Bully XL, a dg that has huge, pwerful jaws and can grw t be 60kg. T fans the creature is a gentle giant. T campaigners, it is a threat behind a sharp increase in fatal attacks.
After a man was killed by a pair f the dgs in Staffrdshire n September 14th, the gvernment sided with the campaigners. Adpting the serius manner f a prime minister declaring war, Rishi Sunak said that the Bully XL wuld be banned by the end f the year.
Althugh they accunt fr barely 1% f all dgs, Bully XL carry ut almst half f all reprted attacks, says Bully Watch, a campaign grup. The data are nt exact, as nt all dg bites are recrded. But nr are they equal. Gentle bites frm a Chihuahua are ne thing; an attack by a mnster mutt (凶猛的杂交犬) is anther.
Befre the Bully can be banned, hwever, the gvernment is struggling t define (定义) it. Only then wuld it be added t a list f fur existing illegal breeds (品种) with cnsequences fr anyne wh wns, sells, breeds r abandns them.
Lawyers argue that the law used, the Dangerus Dgs Act f 1991, is a mess. Animal charities say bad wners are the prblem — they can always find large equally fierce dgs.
The affair shws hw it can be easy t influence plicy. The campaign against them began as a ne-man peratin by an academic. By attracting attentin mstly via scial media, he and sme vlunteers wn press and pliticians' interest. It helps that the prblem is cheap t fix, but the psting-t-plicy pipeline can be remarkably shrt fr a specific campaign t succeed. It pays t be dgged.
32. What can we learn frm the first tw paragraphs?
A. The British are divided ver Bully XL.
B. The British like arguing ver things.
C. Bully XL is gentle unless made annyed.
D. Bully XL ften attacks peple.
33. What des “they” (underlined in Paragraph 4) refer t?
A. Bully XL.B. Dg bites.
C. The dg attack data.D. Gentle bites frm Chihuahua.
34. Accrding t animal charities, wh are t answer fr the tragic attacks?
A. Fierce large dgs.B. The messy law.
C. The victims themselves.D. The dg wners.
35. The text seems t suggest that the Bully XL ban was declared ______.
A. under the influence f campaigners B. due t the life lsses by dg attacks
C. under the pressure f lawyersD. due t the call frm animal charities

A fixed mindset f interest can harm creativity and innvatin. If peple believe they are limited t nly a few particular interests and, in cnsequence, d nt explre ther areas, they may miss seeing imprtant cnnectins acrss different dimensins. 36 Thse wh with a grwth mindset are als mre likely t be creative when slving prblems.
37 In June we published findings frm an interventin that succeeded in that aim. In tw studies invlving mre than 700 first-year liberal arts undergraduates, we began by assessing hw ur participants saw themselves. The majrity held strng interests in the arts, humanities and scial sciences. 38
We then randmly assigned students t either ur interventin r a study skills mdule. Our interventin included reading and effective writing activities that helped students think abut interests and passins as cultivated(培育) rather than as simply fund and fixed. 39 The study skills mdule had a similar set f exercises but with an emphasis n building classic skills, such as time management and active learning.
These students were required t take at least ne math and science curse during their first year. That meant we culd check hw the interventin may have influenced their perspectives n math and science. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126
By the end f the year, students wh had received the interventin were mre interested in their required math and science curses than thse wh received the study skills mdule—and this bst was particularly apparent amng students wh initially reprted that they were nt a “math-and-science persn.” 40 These students became mre skilled in math and science and grew int interdisciplinary schlars.
A. Hw can a grwth mindset f interest be cultivated?
B. Meanwhile, a grwth mindset f interest cmes with many advantages.
C. S can a grwth mindset f interest be taught?
D. Mrever, mst reprted that they were nt a “math-and-science persn.”
E. They als earned better grades in curses than thse receiving the study skills mdule.
F. Hwever, a grwth mindset f interest can fuel peple's further explratin t different fields.
G. Fr example, students read an article stating the benefits f viewing interests as develpable.

Mr/Ms Editr,
Recently, visiting museums has emerged as a new lifestyle in many cities, with several renwned museums becming the “must-visit” destinatins fr the general public.
The surge in “museum fever” can be attributed t varius factrs. Peple’s increasing enthusiasm fr traditinal Chinese culture has drawn them t seek a deeper understanding f China’s rich cultural heritage and histry. Besides, the applicatin f new technlgies has made cultural relics mre accessible, which appeals t the yunger generatins.
Frm my perspective, the museum fever is a pursuit f beauty that can enhance aesthetics and braden hrizns. The immersive experience is f greater significance than anything else.
Yurs,
