What would life be like if you were a rocker, a soccer player, a professor(教授）at Stanford University, and a Nobel Prize winner? Carolyn Bertozzi from the US lives such a cool life!
Bertozzi,56,wins this year's Nobel Prize in chemistry and becomes this year's only female(女性)winner in science and the eighth female to receive the chemistry prize in history.
Bertozzi won the prize for studying the sugar coats of cells(细胞）. She has found a smart way to connect cells together. This finding helps to develop better tests for serious diseases like cancer.
However, Bertozzi said she only fell in love with chemistry until her second year at Harvard University.“Most of my classmates thought the class was very difficult.But I liked it a lot because in my eyes the problems were challenging even though it usually took me long hours to solve them.”
Besides doing science studies, Bertozzi has lived a colorful life. She was a keyboarder in a rock band and she also played soccer, winning an athletic scholarship from Harvard.
Moreover, Bertozzi never forgets her job as a female scientist. “In the late 1980s, only 10 percent of the students were females,”she told Chemical & Engineering News."There were maybe only one or two females in a lab, so we tried to support each other by starting a monthly get-together.Now,I'm so glad to see more and more females taking part in science.” In 2022, Bertozzi won an award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science for her work to increase diversity(性别多元）in science.
48. Bertozzi won this year's Nobel Prize because she ______
A.invented a medicine for cancer B. is a female professor at Stanford University
C.found a way to connect cells together D.likes music,soccer and chemistry
49.The underlined word “challenging" in Paragraph 4 probably means “ ______”
A.difficult in an interesting way B. so difficult that nobody likes it
C.easy and requires no hard work D.easy and meaningless
50.According to the passage,we can infer that ______
A.there were a lot of females in science labs in the US in the 1980s
B.Bertozzi was interested in music and soccer
C.the experience of Bertozzi will encourage more girls to do science
D. Bertozzi built a new lab for girls to do research
51.The best title of the passage may be“ ______”
A.A New Chemical Finding B.A Different Nobel Prize Winner
C.An Unusual Working Experience D.A Stanford Professor's Colorful Life
D
You might have watched people upload(上传）their brains to the cloud in science fiction movies. Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of companies Tesla and SpaceX, recently said on Twitter that he had already done it.
This caused a lot of discussion on Chinese social media. People wondered if Musk was serious, and others discussed the future development of this technology.
How would mind uploading work? Michael S.A. Graziano, a neuroscience professor at Princeton University,US,said we would need two types of technology: an artificial brain and a scan(扫描）of a person's brain. After getting an artificial brain, scientists would scan a person's brain and work out how the cells of the brain were connected to build up a system, just like Windows.
This way,your brain, with all its traits(特点） and memories, could be stored and kept “alive".It's a bit like how your phone can store your photos and films for you.
______▲______? You could talk with a loved one who has already passed away.You could see them
and talk to their uploaded mind through a screen. It would feel just like you're having a video call with someone who lives in another place. But the difference is that your loved one lives in a “human-made
heaven(天堂），”said The Guardian.
Although it is a very new technology, people have been talking about the idea of a computer “brain" for decades. US writer Frank Herbert created Cymeks in his 1965 hit sci-fi book, Dune(《沙丘》）.The Cymek's human brain was kept “alive” in a container(容器）with a special fluid(液体）.
This way, the brain could live for thousands of years and control the robotic body it lives in. A more recent example is the 2020 US TV series called Upload(《上载新生》）．It is set in 2033, a time when humans can “upload” themselves into a virtual world before they die.
52.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph I refers to “______”
A.uploading his brain to the cloud B.making billions for his companies
C.watching a science fiction movie D.creating a new model of Tesla
53.The mind uploading process follows the order of______
a. scan a person's brain b.prepare an artificial brain
c.store the traits and memories into the artificial brain d.work out the connection between brain cells
A.d-a-b-c B.b-a-d-c C.b-c-a-d D.d-a-c-b
54.Which of the following sentences can be put in the______▲______?
A.Where would our memories be kept B.How could we upload our mind
C.What could we use mind uploading for D.When should we upload our mind
55.The passage is mainly about______
A. a discussion on Chinese social media B. a person in the human-made heaven
C.some scientific fictions on the Internet D. a new technology on mind uploading

①Have you ever asked somebody a question but they didn't reply because they were looking at their phones? Or have you ever found that hours has passed since you planned to play a game just for 10 minutes? People are using digital devices(设备）more than ever.
②On May 2nd, a center for health study, Fairplay, came up with an idea of A Screen-Free Week. They encourage families to turn off their screens and enjoy activities in real life for one day a week. Their proposal(提议） is based on the following facts.
③One study in 2020 found that young people in China aged between seven and sixteen spend about three hours and 48 minutes a day online. A survey in 2022 shows that people in Philippines spend more than 10 hours a day online, the highest in the world. What's more, a research has proved that the human spine(脊柱）would bend a little for looking down at the phones for a long time.
④Should people have one screen-free day a week?
⑤People who answer"Yes” think using digital devices too much is bad for health. Too much time online can influence sleep and shorten how long young people are able to focus on things.Instead, whether it's playing sports or reading a book, a day offline would help people focus on their hobbies. And hobbies can make people feel more rested and relaxed.
⑥However,some disagree with the proposal. They think that rather than banning(禁止）digital devices for one day a week, people should be wise to how often they are online and how this makes them feel. After all, receiving a funny dog video from a friend can make them feel happy and less lonely.Therefore, there is no need to ban digital devices for one day.
⑦Surely,it's better to take daily breaks in the real world and turn screens off during mealtimes and an hour or two before bed. But it's unrealistic to spend a whole day offline. What if you find yourself in an emergency(紧急情况） and need to call someone for help? All in all,using digital devices in a proper way is what really matters.
56.The writer mainly leads into the topic by______
A.asking questions B.listing numbers C.telling a story D.making a survey
57.The reason“______”can be used to support(支持） Fairplay's idea.
A.Digital devices can make people less lonely.
B. People depend on digital devices to keep in touch.
C.Less time online means more time in the real world.
D.More time online will cause less stress.
58. If we put the passage into four parts,which of the following is the best?
A.①;②③④;⑤⑥;⑦ B.①;②③;④⑤⑥;⑦
C.①;②;③④;⑤⑥⑦ D.①;②;③;④⑤⑥⑦
59.The writer's main purpose in writing the passage is to______
A. introduce a health center to readers B. ask people to stop using the digital devices
C. list some facts about using digital devices D.call on readers to use the digital devices properly

you like the head wear in Story of Yanxi Palace? They are both about Ronghua, a traditional Chinese
folk art, which has the same pronunciation as Chinese characters Rong Hua (wealth and glory).
The Making of Ronghua
The making of Ronghua can date back to the Tang Dynasty(618-907). The Ronghua pieces are small but beautiful, in the shapes of not only flowers
but also animals. They are made of silk and mainly produced in Yangzhou and Nanjing. The making process is so complex(复杂的）that a basic type even takes 2 or 3 days to complete everything.
An Interview with a Ronghua Craftsman(手艺人）
（Zhao Shuxian is a famous craftsman in Ronghua art.)
Q:When did you start learning the art?
Zhao: Maybe since I remembered things. I was born and raised in a Ronghua family, so I could often see how my parents made Ronghua. They teach me the patience and carefulness because it takes time and you may ruin(毁坏） all just for a little mistake.
Q:What makes you work on the art for over 40 years?
Zhao: I like the Ronghua art and I enjoy making Ronghua. The finest art works are just like my kids.
Q: Do you have any wishes for the art?
Zhao:Yes. I'm 68 years old this year.My biggest wish is to find more inheritors(传承者）.I do hope more young people can work as Ronghua makers noble.

The Past and the Present

Now,they become popular in daily life. Young girls love to wear Ronghua because they're cute and to develop this traditional art. We can't afford to lose it.
