Frankie Gaw, an Asian American fd creatr and authr f a ckbk, is knwn fr his unique apprach t
cuisine. He changes American classics with an Asian twist, creating dishes like a Pp-Tart tpped with strawberry
litchi frsting (糖霜) and a Happy Meal that includes fried prk, cucumber salad and a Yakult. Gaw’s scial media
page is filled with vides f these innvative creatins.
“I asked myself, ‘Since the wrld is much mre inclusive and embraces all f these diverse flavrs, what are
the things that Asian Americans wuld want t see?’” Gaw talked abut hw his hit scial media cking series
“Turning American Classics Asian” came t be.
The idea appeared after a trip t his lcal supermarket. Walking thrugh aisles, Gaw nticed that much f the
fd stcked n the shelves lked like what he saw as a kid 20 years ag. Meanwhile, ingredients like sy sauce
and mis (味噌) were still strictly gruped in “Asian” aisles. Fr many immigrants and children f immigrants,
fd is an imprtant part f life. Fr Gaw, standing between the “Asian” aisle and the rest f the grcery stre was
als symblic f his upbringing in Cincinnati, Ohi. Grwing up, Gaw felt like he was living a duble life. In
public, Gaw enjyed McDnald’s chicken and fries. At hme, he feasted n his grandmther’s beef ndle sup. It
tk time fr him t embrace his dual-taste palette.
Years later in his Seattle apartment, Gaw began experimenting with his childhd favrites. He changed
Campbell’s cream f mushrm sup and turned it int prridge. He added mis t the macarni and cheese. Gaw
shared his fd n scial media. It tk ff. His fd and his experiences at the grcery stre received strng
feedback, especially frm ther Asian Americans.
“Turning American classics Asian is nt just abut my appreciatin fr Asian flavrs and ingredients, r
disrespect t American fd. Instead, it’s my way f shwing respect fr bth — and n a larger scale, fr the
experiences f Asian Americans. Seeing this familiar fd at a fast-fd restaurant makes me feel like I have a seat
at the table.” he said.

One f the 2024 Nbel Prize winners in Physics, Geffrey Hintn, wh pineered wrk n the neural (神经的)
netwrks that supprt artificial intelligence, has warned that machines might smeday get smarter than humans.
Perhaps. But the 2024 Nbel Prize in Chemistry hnred a real-wrld example f hw AI is helping humans tday
with amazing discveries in prtein structure that have far-reaching applicatins. This is a develpment wrth
appreciating.
Prteins are bilgy’s lead actrs, which cntrl and drive all the chemical reactins that tgether are the basis
f life. Prteins als functin as signal substances, building blcks f different tissues. In the human bdy, they are
necessary fr the structure, functin and regulatin f tissues and rgans.
In the late 1950s, Jhn Kendrew and Max Perutz frm Cambridge University created the first 3D mdels f
prteins, earning them the 1962 Nbel Prize in Chemistry. But in the fllwing decades, prgress in figuring ut
prtein structures has been slw. It might take years t characterize a single structure.
The three scientists wh wn the 2024 Nbel Prize in Chemistry have revlutinized the field. During
bilgical research, they develped an AI and machine learning mdel that can predict the structure f prteins,
第 5页/共 12页
decding the amin acids (氨基酸) that make up each. The mdel, AlphaFld, can d in minutes what nce tk
years.
Besides, with the help f AlphaFld, scientists have fund a better vaccine (疫苗) fr malaria, a deadly
disease caused by a shape-shifting parasite (寄生虫). Matthew Higgins at the University f Oxfrd said the
breakthrugh helped his team decide which bits f the prtein t put in the vaccine, which trains the bdy’s
immune system t detect it and act. This helped expedite his research frm “a fundamental science stage t the
preclinical and clinical develpment stage”.
Anyne wh has used ChatGPT knws that AI is nt always crrect. And withut a dubt, there are risks
when pwerful technlgy falls int the hands f evil actrs. S in the years ahead, AI dangers must be cnfrnted
and safeguards cnsidered. But, at least fr nw, AlphaFld shws that AI can greatly enhance existing knwledge
t benefit mankind.
8. What des the secnd paragraph fcus n?
A The way that prteins help keep life healthy.
B. The prcess f prteins regulating chemical reactins.
C. The imprtant rle f prteins in bilgical research.
D. The cmplex interactin between prteins and ther tissues.
9. Hw des the authr illustrate the impact f AI n bilgical research?
A. By making a cmparisn. B. By presenting statistics.
C. By referring t experts’ wrds. D. By describing a prcess.
10. What des the underlined wrd “expedite” in paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Wrk ut. B. Speed up. C. Put ff. D. Hld back.

Human harvesting f krill (磷虾) in the Suthern Ocean culd threaten the recvery f whale species that were
nearly wiped ut by industrial whaling in the 20th century, accrding t a study in Nature Cmmunicatins.
Krill are the essential fd surce fr baleen whales such as blue whales and humpbacks. Bming demand
fr krill, hwever, culd leave whales withut enugh fd t sustain despite their decreasing numbers. “Our
calculatins suggest an alarming pssibility that we might harvest krill t the pint where we d real damage t

recvering whale ppulatins,” said lead study authr Matthew Savca frm the Stanfrd Derr Schl f
Sustainability.
In the nearly 40 years since a glbal whaling ban went int effect in 1986, sme Suthern Ocean species,
particularly humpbacks, have made an impressive cmeback. Yet, this recvery has taken place against increasing
cmpetitin with humans fr the whales’ critical fd surce. Over the past 30 years, the krill catch has dubled t
arund 400,000 tns annually and is set t expand further.
Savca and his clleagues calculated hw much krill was left in the Suthern Ocean fr baleen whales,
seabirds, and ther predatrs t eat after industrial krill harvesting at current rates, and cmpared it with the
estimated amunt f krill available befre industrial whaling began. “The basic math makes it clear that the current
krill bimass (生物量) cannt supprt bth an expanding krill fishery and the recvery f whale ppulatins t
pre-whaling size.” said Savca.
The study ffers suggestins fr hw the CCAMLR, an internatinal rganizatin that manages Suthern
Ocean fisheries, can help prevent disaster. Regulatin f the areas and times f year when cmmercial krill bats
can perate t minimize cmpetitin with whales is a starting pint. As fr the krill themselves, imprved
mnitring t bring in mre data n krill eggs and larvae (幼虫) htspts culd identify znes t ban r limit
fishing.
The researchers hpe their study will inspire mre serius accunting and deeper investigatins int whales
and the krill themselves, ultimately frming a path ahead that preserves the delicate eclgical balance in the
Suthern Ocean.
12. What des the study in Nature Cmmunicatins mainly suggest?
A. Baleen whales have made an impressive cmeback.
B. Krill play a big rle in the Suthern Ocean ecsystem.
C. It’s wise t expand krill harvesting t supprt ecnmic grwth.
D. Current krill harvesting practices may destry whale recvery effrts.
13. What d we knw abut the current krill bimass?
A. It is likely t bunce back. B. It desn’t hld much research value.
C. It has increased greatly in the past 30 years. D. It is insufficient t supprt the lcal ecsystem.
14. What is mainly discussed in the fifth paragraph?
A. The ways t bst krill-related ecnmic grwth.
B. The practical measures taken by the CCAMLR.
第 7页/共 12页
C. The prpsals put frward by the researchers.
D. The cnflicts between whales and humans.
15. What wuld be a suitable title fr the text?

In a huse far frm the city lived Jhn and his mther. Jhn’s nly hbby was wandering in the nearby
picturesque frest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schls f fish dancing in it. Lvely animals such as
deer r rabbits were playing arund and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness f
nature, he desired t becme a great artist and present all the breath-taking scenes t the wrld.
Jhn studied in the lcal primary schl. Life was nt easy fr Jhn and his mm after his father died.
Knwing what hard wrk his mther did t make ends meet, Jhn really didn’t want his mther t wrry. His
mther knew the significance f educatin in life but she was against his dream f becming an artist. “The
prfessin f artist can’t aid a persn in meeting his daily expenses,” she wuld say. But as each day passed, Jhn’s
dream became mre passinate.
Due t the living circumstances, even buying sme new clrs wuld be a luxury. Jhn nly used the wrn
drawing file and limited clrs fr his daily practice. Thugh lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up
drawing. He spent a significant amunt f time staying in the frest, secretly perfecting his craft. With cntinuus
hard wrk and a distinct gift fr art, he drew beautifully.
One day Jhn read abut a cmpetitin being held in the twn, whse deadline was nly tw days away. He
gt the perfect pprtunity t fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as fr the cmpetitin he
needed special paints and sme brushes. He didn’t have the curage t ask his mther fr mney as he knew her
prejudice against art.
That evening his mm returned frm wrk and handed him a few paper ntes saying, “This is fr yur lunch
at schl next mnth.” The mney was enugh fr his desired materials! Jhn’s face lit up.
