A
We’ve got a list of teen scientists from a variety of fields.
Jack Andraka
Jack Andraka created a biosensor for cancer that he says is 168 times faster, 26,667 times less expensive and 400 times more sensitive than technology nowadays.
He’s the youngest person to have spoken in front of the Royal Society of Medicine.
Taylor Wilson
Taylor Wilson was the youngest person to achieve nuclear fusion(核聚变). He was inspired by The Radioactive Boy Scout, a novel in which a kid tries and fails to build a nuclear reactor.
Taylor thought he could do better. Long story short, he wanted to build a small nuclear reactor. And he did it at the age of fourteen. He received a Thiel Fellowship, which gave him $100,000 to work on his own research.
Sara Volz
Sara Volz performed experiments in which she grew algae based on their oil output for the purpose of growing them as biofuel(生物燃料). This research is especially important as the world continues to search for a way to lessen our dependence on non-renewable energy. She won the top prize of $100,000 in the Intel Science Talent Search.
Daniel Burd
Plastic usually takes thousands of years to decompose(降解), but this high school student Daniel Burd managed to do it in three months.
In an experiment, he mixed plastic bags and a special kind of dirt together, and found that they did decompose faster. He then performed tests to find the bacteria responsible for decomposing the plastics.
His solution only produces water and small amounts of carbon dioxide. He says it could easily be used elsewhere.

Mary Anning was an English fossil(化石) collector, dealer and paleontologist(古生物学家). Her fossil hunting helped change the way people thought about the world.
Mary was born into a poor family in England on May 21, 1799. She lived in the seaside town of Lyme Regis, in Dorset. The family had nine children. Only Mary and her brother Joseph grew up. Mary’s father took his children along the beach. They picked up shells and stones to sell to visitors. Mary did not go to school much. Her family was too poor. And schools did not teach children about fossils. Mary could read and write. She taught herself. She learned about rocks and how bodies are made.
In 1811 when Mary and Joseph were hunting fossils, Joseph saw a bone sticking out of the rock. Mary had a hammer to chip away at the rock. Very carefully she uncovered it. She found the first complete fossil of the ichthyosaur (鱼龙).
Since then, Mary became crazy about fossil hunting. She liked to hunt on the beach after a storm. The wind, rain and waves made the rocks crumble. It was easy to spot fossils. Most days Mary went fossil hunting with her dog, Tray.
Rich friends helped Mary by selling fossils for her. They sent her money. Scientists wrote letters and came to see her. One good friend was William Buckland, a professor at Oxford University. Mary also opened a shop to sell fossils, stones and shells. She chatted with visitors.
Mary Anning died in 1847. How evolution(进化) works was explained by Charles Darwin not long after Mary died. Her fossils had helped scientists understand how things began.
24. Why did Mary’s father take his children along the beach?
A. To enjoy life.
B. To make a living.
C. To look for fossils.
D. To teach them about fossils.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Mary was born into a poor family ... Mary’s father took his children along the beach. They picked up shells and stones to sell to visitors.”可知,玛丽家境贫寒,父亲带着孩子沿海滩捡贝壳和石头卖给游客,以维持生计。故选B。
答案:B
25. What can we learn about Mary?
A. Her father was a paleontologist.
B. Her father educated her at home.
C. She had nine brothers and sisters in all.
D. She might be popular at that time.
解析:推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Rich friends helped Mary by selling fossils for her. They sent her money. Scientists wrote letters and came to see her ... Mary also opened a shop to sell fossils, stones and shells.”可知,有钱的朋友帮她卖化石,科学家们写信给她并来看她,她还开了一家商店卖化石、石头和贝壳,由此可推断,当时她可能很受欢迎。故选 D。
答案:D
26. Who was the first one to catch sight of the rock containing the first complete ichthyosaur fossil?
A. Charles Darwin. B. Mary’s dog.
C. Joseph. D. Mary.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段首句“In 1811 when Mary and Joseph were hunting fossils, Joseph saw a bone sticking out of the rock.”可知,约瑟夫首先看到了鱼龙化石。故选C。
答案:C
27. What does the underlined word “crumble” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. Break. B. Shake.
C. Float. D. Dive.
解析:词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“She liked to hunt on the beach after a storm. The wind, rain and waves made the rocks crumble. It was easy to spot fossils.”可知,玛丽喜欢在暴风雨后到海滩上搜寻化石,因为风、雨和海浪会使岩石崩裂,因此很容易发现化石。故选A。
答案:A
C
(2023年·广东一模)
Like any doctor, Jacques Fellay wants to give his patients the best care. Hidden inside our bodies are genetic (基因的) markers that can tell him which patients could probably have diseases such as AIDS and provide early treatments. However, there are worries for Fellay: they contain sensitive details that could lead to embarrassment, discrimination or even worse.
A new kind of encryption, fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) (全同态加密), is making it possible for data users to run multiple operations on genetic data without seeing the contents. This can help end big data’s privacy problem, and Fellay’s patients can be some of the first to benefit.
In 1978, the concept of homomorphic encryption (HE) was firstly proposed. According to it, one could encrypt and share data with others, who could analyze and perform calculations on the data with no idea what it means. After getting the data back, the data user could simply arrive at the result using the secret key and it will make total sense.
In 2009, Craig Gentry firstly provided a workable FHE programme. Like HE, it rests on a mathematical idea called a homomorphism, which mostly relies on using algebra (代数) to map data from one form to another without changing its underlying structure. However, it supports multiple operations on encrypted data, rather than only one calculation in HE.
Later, Gentry went on to work at the international corporation, which now has complicated FHE tools to run encrypted data. In the medical field, for example, it detected signs of COVID-19 infection by applying FHE to analyze the encrypted CT scans of more than 1,500 people’s lungs. In a paper published in October 2021, the team used FHE to collect data from multiple sources and predicted the effect of cancer treatments or the process of HIV infection, as in Fellay’s case.
Workable, but still slow: calculations on the FHE-encrypted data could take millions of times longer than those on raw data. But, as Goldwasser says, “If you believe that security is not a plus, but it’s a must,” she says,“then in some sense there is no overhead.”
28. What is Fellay concerned about?
A. Serious diseases.
B. Sensitive patients.
C. The safety of personal data.
D. The lack of genetic information.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“However, there are worries for Fellay: they contain sensitive details that could lead to embarrassment, discrimination or even worse.(然而,费莱也有一些担忧: 其中包含的敏感细节可能会导致尴尬、歧视甚至更糟。)”可知,费莱很担心个人数据的安全。故选C。
答案:C
29. In what way is FHE different from HE?
A. It speeds up the analyses.
B. It allows more calculations.
C. It prevents direct access to data.
D. It depends on the use of algebra.
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“However, it supports multiple operations on encrypted data, rather than only one calculation in HE.(但是,它支持对加密数据进行多次操作,而不是在HE中只进行一次计算。)”可知, FHE和HE的不同之处在于它允许更多的计算。故选B。
答案:B
30. What is Goldwasser’s attitude towards FHE?
A. Contradictory. B. Unclear.
C. Favourable. D. Intolerant.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“But, as Goldwasser says,‘If you believe that security is not a plus, but it’s a must,’ she says, ‘then in some sense there is no overhead.’ (但是,正如戈德瓦瑟所说, ‘如果你认为安全不是加分项,而是必需的,’她说,‘那么在某种意义上,就没有开销。’)”可知, 戈德瓦瑟对FHE的态度是赞成的。故选C。
答案:C
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A. FHE protects privacy in the big data era.
B. FHE opens a new world for medical workers.
C. Gentry proposed a new encryption technology.
D. Homomorphic encryption developed over time.
解析:主旨大意题。根据第二段“A new kind of encryption, fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), is making it possible for data users to run multiple operations on genetic data without seeing the contents. This can help end big data’s privacy problem, and Fellay’s patients can be some of the first to benefit.(一种新型的加密技术,即全同态加密,使得数据用户可以在不看到内容的情况下对遗传数据进行多次操作。这可以帮助解决大数据的隐私问题,费莱的患者可能是第一批受益的人。)”可知,文章主要是讲FHE在大数据时代保护隐私。故选A。
答案:A
D
The live streaming (直播) and fast delivery industry have attracted so many young people that the industrial sector is short of manpower. “My advice is to encourage more young people to work in the factories and less in the express delivery sector,” Zhang Xinghai, a deputy to the National People’s Congress, China’s top legislature, said during the ongoing NPC annual session.
Zhang wants more young people to work in the factories so that China’s manufacturing (制造业) sector continues to flourish. Whatever job young people do is a matter of choice, but the manufacturing sector is facing a labour crunch (短缺) for too many people prefer jobs in other sectors.
A survey conducted by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security in the third quarter of 2021 found that of 100 jobs that were facing a manpower crunch, 58 were in the manufacturing sector. By 2025, the shortage in 10 key manufacturing industries could be as high as 30 million.
It is time some strong measures were taken to attract people back to the factories. This can be done by raising the salaries of factory workers.
According to a survey in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province, the annual income of express delivery workers in the city is more than 100,000 yuan ($15,831). In contrast, the average monthly salary of those doing blue-collar jobs in Guangdong in 2020 was just 7,108 yuan, or about 84,000 yuan a year. That gap surely needs to be reduced.
Besides, the legal rights and interests of those doing blue-collar jobs need to be better protected. Express delivery workers can decide when they want to work, but factory workers have to work whenever the factory demands.
Therefore, the authorities should protect factory workers’ rights to weekends, 8-hour working schedules and paid leave.
Also, the promotion and salary growth structure of factory workers must be clearly defined. In a nutshell, to lure young people back to the factories, it is necessary to make blue-collar jobs more attractive.
32. What can we infer from Zhang Xinghai’s words?
A. The future of the express delivery sector is hopeless.
B. Working in factories in China are attractive to young people.
C. Most young people are unwilling to work in the manufacturing sector.
D. Working as a delivery man is quite easy for young people.
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“‘My advice is to encourage more young people to work in the factories and less in the express delivery sector,’”和第二段内容可知,制造业正面临着劳动力短缺的问题,而第一段张兴海说的话正表明中国年轻人越来越不愿意到工厂里去工作。故选C。
答案:C
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A. A lot of jobs in China are facing a labour crunch.
B. Employment rate in China will be dramatically increased by 2025.
C. There are 10 manufacturing industries facing manpower shortage in total.
D. The industrial sector is facing a severe labour shortage.
解析:段落大意题。根据第三段内容可知,人力资源和社会保障部在2021年第三季度进行的一项调查中发现,在面临人力短缺的100个就业岗位中,有58个来自制造业。到2025年,10个主要制造业的短缺能高达3 000万人。综上所述,本段主要讲述制造业正在面临严重的劳动力短缺问题。故选D。
答案:D
34. Which is NOT the reason for manpower shortage in factories?
A. Flexible working hours.
B. Lower incomes.
C. Undefined promotion structure.
D. Unprotected legal rights.
解析:细节理解题。根据第五段内容可知,2020年广东蓝领工人的平均月薪仅为7 108元,约合每年8.4万元;再根据第六段中的“Besides, the legal rights and interests of those doing blue-collar jobs need to be better protected.”和最后一段中的“Also, the promotion and salary growth structure of factory workers must be clearly defined.”可知,工厂里的蓝领工人们工资较低,合法权益没有得到更好的保护,晋升和工资增长结构不明确。这些是年轻人不愿意到工厂工作的原因。故选A。
答案:A
35. What is the author’s attitude towards the current situation of manufacturing industry?
A. Indifferent. B. Concerned.
C. Unclear. D. Neutral.
解析:观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“In a nutshell, to lure young people back to the factories, it is necessary to make blue-collar jobs more attractive.”可知,为了吸引年轻人回到工厂,有必要使蓝领工作更具吸引力。由此可推知,作者对目前制造业的现状是很关心的。故选B。
答案:B
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Succeed in Science
To succeed in science, you need a lot more than luck. In my view, you have to combine intelligence with willingness not to follow conventions when they block your path forward. Thus, these have come to be my rules for success.
　　•36. 　　　 
That might sound proud, but the fact is that you must always turn to people who are brighter than yourself. It’s like playing any game. Even as a child, I never wanted to play games with anyone who was as bad as I was. If you win, it gives you no pleasure. And in the game of science or life, the highest goal isn’t simply to win; it’s to win at something really difficult. 37. 　　　 
•Take risks.
　　To make a huge success, a scientist has to be prepared to get into deep trouble. If you are going to make a huge jump in science, you will very likely be unqualified to succeed by definition. 38. 　　　　This can be more than personally upsetting. 
　　•Never do anything that bores you.
My experience in science is that someone is always telling you to do things, and then leave you alone. I’m not good enough to do well in something I dislike.
39. 　　　　It’s very hard to succeed if you don’t want to be with other scientists—you have to go to key meetings where you find key facts that would have escaped you. And you have to chat with your competitors, even if you find them unpleasant. So my final rule is: 40. 　　　　 
A. Avoid foolish people.
B. Meet challenges with great courage.
C. In fact, I find it hard to do well in something I like.
D. If you can’t stand to be with your real peers, get out of science.
E. Be sure you always have someone to save you from a deep mess.
F. Besides, you even have to be prepared to disbelieve your scientific heroes.
G. Put another way, it’s to go somewhere beyond your ability and come out on top.
36. 解析:此段的段意是要与更聪明的人一起玩。且A项中的foolish与第二段中的brighter相反,与bad 呼应。故选A。
答案:A
37. 解析:根据上一句:在科学和生活的游戏中,最高的目标不是简单地去赢,而是去赢得一些非常困难的东西。G项与此意义相似。故选G。
答案:G
38. 解析:空处的句子结构与第三段句首中的be prepared to呼应,句意上进一步说明科学家的困难。故选F。
答案:F
39. 解析:根据上一句句意“我不擅长做我不喜欢的事情”可知,C项与此结构相似,意义承接前文。故选C。
答案:C
40. 解析:此句为总结句,选出的句子要具有总结意义。competitors 与real peers 呼应,unpleasant与out of science呼应。故选D。
答案:D

第二节(满分25分)
(2023·广东广州一模)
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。
Sandy and Jane came to see the jobo tree on the hilltop again. Jobos were their favourite fruit, but the tree belonged to a lady who lived in the house by the hill. They heard she was difficult, but that sometimes she would give fruit in return for an errand (差使).
The girls finally gathered their courage to knock on her door. An elderly woman with a fierce look answered, staring down at the girls.“We heard ...” said Sandy, her voice shaky,“that you give jobos in payment for running an errand.”
The lady raised one eyebrow, then went into the kitchen and took two baskets. She pushed them into the girls’ hands. “Go fill these with jobos, and come right back.”
The girls raced up the hill to the tree and filled the baskets with the ripest jobos. Back at the house, the lady filled a bag with rice and handed it to Sandy. “Take this bag and one basket of jobos to the Brown family. And ask them for the payment,” the lady added with a tight smile.“If you return without the payment, you won’t get the fruit.”
The girls struggled all the way with the bag and the basket. When they were there, Mrs Brown answered the door. Inside on the floor were three little children, each painting something on paper.
Mr Brown was lying sick in bed. Times were hard.
The girls handed her the food. “This is from the lady with the jobo tree,” said Sandy.
“She asked for the payment, too.” Jane said awkwardly.
“The payment! The payment!” The children repeated, waving the paper in their hands happily.
Sandy and Jane looked at each other strangely. With a smile, Mrs Brown handed Sandy a large sealed(密封的) envelope so full that it was almost starting to break open. The girls said goodbye and left quickly. “I wonder,” Sandy murmured, “whether Mrs Brown can afford to pay for that food.”
