一、阅读理解
It is that time of the year, when a handful of world’s leading scholars, social activists and researchers are rewarded with what is often cited as the most prestigious acknowledgement of human effort-the Nobel Prize. Here’s a look at who has won the prize and for what.
Physiology or Medicine
Swedish geneticist Svante Peabo won the first Nobel of the year, for starting the field of ancient DNA studies. He is well-known for extracting, sequencing, and analyzing ancient DNA from Neanderthal bones.
Physics
Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger’s work in quantum (量子) technology landed them the second Nobel Prize announced in 2022. Although Aspect is from France, Clauser from the U.S, and Zeilinger from Austria, the three separately performed “groundbreaking experiments” as one team. “Their results have cleared the way for new technology,” the committee stated.
Chemistry
The Nobel Prize for chemistry went to another trio, Carolyn R. Bertozzi from the U.S., Morten Meldal from Denmark and K. Barry Sharpless from the U.S. “for the development of click chemistry and biorthogonal chemistry,” the committee stated. Dr. Bertozzi is the eighth woman chemist to be awarded the prize, while Dr. Sharpless is the fifth scientist to be awarded two Nobel Prizes.
Economics
The Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded to three American economists, Ben S. Bernanke, Douglas W. Diamond and Philip H. Dybvig “for research on banks and financial crises,” the Nobel Prize committee announced on Monday. By studying the history of American economics, particularly the Great Depression of the 1930s,they improved how we understand the role of banks during times of hardship and the bank’s impact on societal functions.
1、What prize is related to the research with bones?
A. Physiology. B. Chemistry. C. Physics. D. Economics.
2、For what study did Ben S. Bernanke, Douglas W. Diamond and Philip H. Dybvig win the prize?
A. About societal functions.
B. About the history of America.
C. About banks and financial crises.
D. About the Great Depression of the 1930s.
3、What do the prizes for physics, chemistry and economics have in common?
A. Their winners are from different countries.
B. They have three winners.
C. They improve new technology.
D. They help people understand hardship.
Industrial agriculture is often held up as the solution to feeding the world’s growing population. But small farms of about 25 acres or less produce over 70 percent of the world’s food. To raise awareness of the contribution of these farmers, a global photo exhibition, We Feed the World, is to open on October 12 in London.
“Industrial agriculture, which mainly focuses on a few types of crops, is not the only answer,” says art director Francesca Price. “We want these images to empower people to support their local food system.”
By growing traditional and non-commercial varieties, small farms support biodiversity and increase food security. With only 12 plants and five animal species making up 75 percent of what the world eats, food systems will be easily hurt by natural disasters and disease outbreaks. However, traditional farming communities are working to preserve their ancient seed diversity.
Keeping variety alive is very important in the face of climate change. In the future, researchers might need to get particular genes from one variety to help another to adapt to warmer, stormier, or drier weather, or to save a prized variety from disease.
Contrary to the false impression held by the public, small farms that practise traditional agriculture can be highly productive. Studies show that the output of crops rises when there’s a wider diversity of crops being grown on a farm, and money is saved since the need for harmful fertilizer and other chemicals is reduced.
“The photographs of family farmers may tell just a few local stories, but the message is universal,” says photographer Cheryl Newman. “I hope that the images will leave viewers thinking deeply about where their food comes from and the impact it has on the world around us.”
4、What is the purpose of the photo exhibition?
A. To help small farmers to sell their produce.
B. To show the challenges faced by small farmers.
C. To draw attention to small farmers’ contribution.
D. To help farmers to fight against industrial agriculture.
5、What can we say about the industrial agriculture?
A. It produces more food than small farms in total.
B. It harms biodiversity and decreases food security.
C. It has been competing unfairly with small farms.
D. It is the only way to feed the world’s population.
6、Why is it important to preserve the traditional and non-commercial crops?
A. Their genes are much better.
B. Their output is much higher.
C. They may help improve the other crops.
D. They don’t need chemical fertilizers at all.
7、What is the text mainly about?
A. The importance of traditional small farms.
B. The problems with the industrial agriculture.
C. The consequences of fast-growing population.
D. The impact of climate change on agriculture.
A 57-year-old Tonga man survived 27 hours at sea in the ocean after a tsunami wave swept him out to sea.
The incident (事件) happened after the huge eruption of a volcano in the island kingdom of Tonga. Lisala Folau said that he was painting his house when his brother told him a tsunami was moving toward the small island of Atata.
Folau is disabled and has difficulty walking. He said he climbed a tree to escape the first wave but when he got down, another big wave swept him away. “I could hear my son calling from land, but I didn’t want to answer him because I didn’t want him to swim out to rescue me,” said Folau.
Folau was swept out to sea at about 7 p. m. local time. Then, he said he swam another eight hours to a second island with no one living on it before finally swimming again to the main island of Tongatapu. The experience lasted more than 27 hours and covered 7.5 kilometers.
Folau said that he went underwater nine times. “On the eighth time I thought, ‘The next time I go underwater, my arms are the only things that are keeping me above water’,” said Folau. “So the ninth time I went under and came up and grabbed a log (原木). And that’s what kept me going.”
In an interview, Folau said he was frightened when the waves took him from land into the sea. “What came into my mind when I was helpless at sea was one thing,” he said. “That was my family.”
The amazing story of Folau’s survival was shared on the Internet. And people described him as a “real-life Aquaman (潜水侠)”.
8、Why does the author mention “27 hours at sea”?
A. To make his article out of the ordinary.
B. To give a description of a long journey.
C. To stress the difficulty of the survival.
D. To deepen readers’ impression of tsunami.
9、What does the underlined word “escape” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Sit on something. B. Go after something.
C. Experience physical pain. D. Get away from danger.
10、What supported Folau when he wanted to give up?
A. A log. B. His Family.
C. His experience. D. A real-life Aquaman.
11、Where can we probably read the text?
A. A news website. B. A blog post.
C. A travel brochure. D. A science magazine.
Cases of the omicron variant of the coronavirus popped up in countries on opposite sides of the world on Sunday and many governments rushed to close their borders even as scientists cautioned that it’s not clear if the new variant is more alarming than other versions of the virus.
The variant was identified days ago by researchers in South Africa, and much is still not known about it, including whether it is more infectious, more likely to cause serious illness or more able to evade the protection of vaccines. But many countries rushed to act, reflecting anxiety about anything that could prolong the pandemic that has killed more than 5 million people.
Israel decided to bar entry to foreigners, and Morocco said it would stop all incoming flights for two weeks starting Monday. Scientists in several places — from Hong Kong to Europe to North America — have confirmed its presence. The Netherlands reported 13 omicron cases on Sunday, and both Canada and Australia each found two.
Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health in the United States, meanwhile, emphasized that there is no data yet that suggests the new variant causes more serious illness than previous COVID-19 variants. Collins, along with several experts, said that the news should make everyone redouble their efforts to use the tools the world already has, including vaccinations, booster shots and measures such as mask-wearing. “I know, America, you’re really tired about hearing those things, but the virus is not tired of us,”Collins said.
As more omicron cases have been found in more countries such as Dutch, Canada, Australia, many countries are introducing travel bans or closing borders, though they go against the advice of the WHO. It has warmed against any overreaction before the variant is thoroughly studied, noting that travel restrictions may play “a role in slightly reducing the spread of COVID-19 but place a heavy burden on lives and livelihoods.”
Spain announced it won’t admit unvaccinated British visitors starting Dec. 1. David Hui, a respiratory medicine expert in Hong Kong, agreed with that strategy, saying the two people who tested positive for the omicron variant had received the Pfizer vaccine and exhibited very mild symptoms, such as a sore throat.
12、What is the meaning of the underlined word “evade” in Paragraph 2?
A. cause B. engage in C. assist D. escape from
13、What did Dr. Francis Collins imply according to his view?
A. The new variant causes more serious illness than previous variants.
B. All the countries should close their borders.
C. Regular public health measures are effective against the variant.
D. Omicron is more alarming than other versions of the virus.
14、What can we learn from the passage?
A. Any reaction before the variant is thoroughly studied is essential.
B. Omicron has originated in South Africa.
C. Unvaccinated British visitors will be infected with the virus.
D. WHO is opposed to omicron-related travel bans.
15、Which might be the best title for this passage?
A. More Omicron Cases Emerge As the World Rushes to Learn More
B. All Countries Should Introduce Travel Bans
C. Vaccinations and Booster Shots Are of Little Use in Fighting Against Omicron
D. Omicron Has Already Made Americans Tired of the Disease

六、读后续写
34、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The day was Thankful Thursday, our “chosen day” of service. It’s a weekly tradition that my two little girls and I began years ago. Thursday has become our day to go out in the world and make a positive contribution, however small it is. On this particular Thursday, we had no idea exactly what we were going to do, but we knew that something would present itself.
Driving along a busy Houston road, I prayed for guidance in our quest to fulfill our weekly Act of Kindness. Around the noon hour, my two little ones wasted no time in letting me know their hunger, chanting, “McDonald’s, McDonald’s, McDonald’s” as we drove along. And I began searching earnestly for the nearest McDonald’s. Suddenly I realized that almost every crossroad I passed through was occupied by a beggar. And then it hit me!
If my two little ones were hungry, then all these beggars must be hungry, too. Perfect! Our Act of Kindness had presented itself. We were going to buy lunch for the beggars. After finding a McDonald’s and ordering two Happy Meals for my girls, I ordered an additional 15 lunches and we set out to deliver them. It was exciting. We would pull alongside a beggar, make a contribution, and tell him or her that we hoped things would get better. Then we’d say, “Oh, by the way, here’s lunch.” And then we would head to the next crossroad.
It was the best way to give. There wasn’t enough time for us to introduce ourselves or explain what we were going to do, nor was there time for them to say anything back to us. The Act of Kindness was anonymous and empowering for each of us, and we loved what we saw in the rearview mirror: a surprised and delighted person holding up his lunch bag and just looking at us as we drove off. It was wonderful!
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then at a crossroad stood a small woman, asking for change.

She looked at me and added, “You know what, this is my daughter’s favorite.”

34、答案：Then at a crossroad stood a small woman, asking for change. As usual, we told her things would get better and my two little girls handed out our final lunch bag. But as we drove off, what I saw from the rearview mirror confused me a lot. Instead of enjoying the lunch, she just took a deep sniff of the burger and gently put it away in her pocket. Strong curiosity drove us back to ask her, “Do you enjoy the lunch?” “The lunch is perfect, but I’m not going to eat it.” the woman said with sincere gratitude in her eyes.
She looked at me and added, “You know what, this is my daughter’s favorite.” Then I learned that she had a little girl of her own at home and she just liked McDonald’s as my two little ones. With a smile on her face she continued, “Tonight she is going to have McDonald’s!” So many times I had questioned whether our Acts of Kindness were too small or insignificant to really make any change. Yet in that moment, I recognized the meaning of Mother Teresa’s words, “We cannot do great things — only small things with great love.”
