2．（10分） A protein is a large，complex macromolecule composed of one or more long chains of amino acids （氨基酸）.Present in and vital to every living cell，function，and regulation of the body's tissues and organs.Yet（排序） of their amino acid chains.
Frederick Sanger graduated with a doctorate in biochemistry from St.John's College in 1943.Yet，it wasn't until his work with insulin （胰岛素 ） that Sanger differentiated himself in the field of chemistry.His first true accomplishment occurred when he successfully determined the complete amino acid sequence of two protein chains in bovine（ 牛），and he eventually concluded that every protein had a unique sequence.In 1958，Sanger was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for showing how amino acids link together to form insulin，therefore，providing the tools for scientists to analyze any protein in the body.
He went on to think about the ideas of how DNA codes for proteins.Together with another scientist，Sanger published the "Plus and Minus 7 technique，" a sequencing procedure to determine the order of the chemical bases which spell out the genetic code for all living things.When he designed a more efficient method in 1977，which earned him his second Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1980.
This method eventually allowed scientists to decode the three billion letters of the human genetic code，giving science the ability to distinguish between normal and abnormal genes.In the same way，Sanger's work directly contribute to the development of biotechnology drugs like human growth hormone.

3．（10分） Many say artificial intelligence is the biggest invention since the Internet.The Sudden rise of large language models like ChatGPT has fueled the hype（大肆宣传） to a higher level﹣ AI will be the common language the world speaks and humans can build the Tower of Babel again.With the technology in hand，it seems spending thousands of hours to master a different tongue is simply a waste of time.
Duolingo's co﹣founder and CEO Luis von Ahn has a different opinion.He said it's still worthwhile for people to learn new language despite the rapid advancement of AI powered translation technology in the past decade. "Computers are better than humans playing chess And there are more people playing chess now than there's ever been， " said von Ahn. "People Just want to do certain things even if computers are good at it"
According to Duolingo's research，the majority language learners agreed learning a new language could make travelling a better experience and more fun，and 80 percent think learning new languages will inspire them to be travelers with an adventurous spirit.
Luis von Ahn co﹣founded Duolingo in 2011，which offers customized learning exercises，immediate feedback and gamification（游戏化），the company even rolled out sessions for its first dialect language﹣ Cantonese.The app attracted many Mandarin learners as well.Their primary motivation to try the language was for "intellectual（智力的）development"
Duolingo has applied AI technology to the language learning platform since day one.With a powerful AI tool，it can provide conversations based on previous exchanges with the user to make language learning more natural.The AI can understand the sentences and react to the input from learners to keep the conversation going.
The goal for the language learning app for von Ahn himself，is to operate on par with a human tutor.He said Duolingo is already as effective as study in a classroom. "I think with AI，we're getting closer and closer to being as good as a one﹣to﹣one human tutor." he said.

D.humans are powerful enough to master different languages
（2）Why do people want to learn a new language according to Duolingo's CEO and research？
A.Out of human nature
B.Out of pressure of travelling
C.Thanks to human's increasing intelligence
D.Thanks to the advancement of AI technology
（3）What does the underlined phrase "on par with" in paragraph 6 mean？
A.together with
B.instead of
C.specially for
D.as well as
（4）What is the best title of this text？
A.People learn languages to enrich their life，not ruin it
B.Duolingo uses AI to help language learning，not kill it
C.With Duolingo，learning a second language is time﹣consuming
D.Helped by Duolingo more people are learning a new language
4．（10分） The great British public loves two things：dogs and banning things.What happens when the two passions bump into each other？
To answer that，consider the dilemma of the Bully XL，a dog that has huge，it is a threat behind a sharp increase in fatal attacks.
After a man was killed by a pair of the dogs in Staffordshire on September 14th，the government sided with the campaigners.Adopting the serious manner of a prime minister declaring war，Rishi Sunak said that the Bully XL would be banned by the end of the year.
Although they account for barely 1% of all dogs，Bully XL carry out almost half of all reported attacks，says Bully Watch，as not all dog bites are recorded.But nor are they equal.Gentle bites from a Chihuahua are one thing；an attack by a monster mutt （凶猛的杂交犬）
Before the Bully can be banned，however，th e government is struggling to define （定义）（品种） with consequences for anyone who owns，sells
Lawyers argue that the law used，the Dangerous Dogs Act of 1991，is a mess.Animal charities say bad owners are the problem﹣they can always find large equally fierce dogs.
The affair shows how it can be easy to influence policy.The campaign against them began as a one﹣man operation by an academic.By attracting attention mostly via social media，he and some volunteers won press and politicians' interest.It helps that the problem is cheap to fix，but the posting﹣to﹣policy pipeline can be remarkably short for a specific campaign to succeed.It pays to be dogged.
（1）What can we learn from the first two paragraphs？
A.The British are divided over Bully XL.
B.The British like arguing over things.
C.Bully XL is gentle unless made annoyed.
D.Bully XL often attacks people.
（2）What does "they" （underlined in Paragraph 4）refer to？
A.Bully XL.
B.Dog bites.
C.The dog attack data.
D.Gentle bites from Chihuahua.
（3）According to animal charities，who are to answer for the tragic attacks？
A.Fierce large dogs.
B.The messy law.
C.The victims themselves.
D.The dog owners.
（4）The text seems to suggest that the Bully XL ban was declared
A.under the influence of campaigners.
B.due to the life losses by dog attacks.
C.under the pressure of lawyers.
D.due to the call from animal charities.

5．（12.5分） A fixed mindset of interest can harm creativity and innovation.If people believe they are limited to only a few particular interests and，in consequence，do not explore other areas（1） .Those who with a growth mindset are also more likely to be creative when solving problems.
（2） ，In June we published findings from an intervention that succeeded in that aim.In two studies involving more than 700 first﹣year liberal arts undergraduates，we began by assessing how our participants saw themselves.The majority held strong interests in the arts，humanities and social sciences. （3） .
We then randomly assigned students to either our intervention or a study skills module.Our intervention included reading and reflective writing activities that helped students think about interests and passions as cultivated（培育） rather than as simply found and fixed. （4） .The study skills module had a similar set of exercises but with an emphasis on building classic skills，such as time management and active learning.
These students were required to take at least one math and science course during their first year.That meant we could check how the intervention may have influenced their perspectives on math and science.
By the end of the year，students who had received the intervention were more interested in their required math and science courses than those who received the study skills module﹣﹣and this boost was particularly apparent among students who initially reported that they were not a "math﹣and﹣science person." （5） .These students became more skilled in math and science and grew into interdisciplinary scholars.
A.How can a growth mindset of interest be cultivated？
B.Meanwhile，a growth mindset of interest comes with many advantages.
C.So can a growth mindset of interest be taught？
D.Moreover，most reported that they were not a "math﹣and﹣science person."
E.They also earned better grades in courses than those receiving the study skills module.
F.However，a growth mindset of interest can fuel people's further exploration to different fields.
G.For example，students read an article stating the benefits of viewing interests as develop able.

【解答】（1）考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：澳大利亚研究人员表示，并表示这项研究为宇宙如何起源提供了新的思路，所以用一般现在时态，所以谓语用第三人称单数形式。
（2）考查连词。句意：第一张图显示了宇宙膨胀和冷却时的温度和密度。表示"当……的时候"，所以用as引导时间状语从句。
（3）考查现在分词。句意：第一张图显示了宇宙膨胀和冷却时的温度和密度。the map （3）____（illustrate） mass size all in universe和前面的句子之间没有连接词 second ，所以用现在分词的独立主格结构。
（4）考查宾语从句。句意：这项研究表明，而不是奇点，在从句中作主语，所以用what引导。
（5）考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：奇点被定义为具有巨大密度和温度的点，所以用一般现在时态，所以用被动语态，所以be动词为is。
（6）考查副词。句意：简而言之，这对研究人员来说很重要，宇宙极限之外的东西也是一个重大谜团，所以用副词构成固定搭配put simply"简而言之"。
（7）考查介词。句意：简而言之，这对研究人员来说很重要，宇宙极限之外的东西也是一个重大谜团，用介词in。
（8）考查可数名词的复数。句意：简而言之，这对研究人员来说很重要，宇宙极限之外的东西也是一个重大谜团，所以用名词复数表示不止一个。
（9）考查形容词。句意：也许对宇宙起源的研究可以帮助回答一些关于地外生命的基本科学问题，所以用形容词。
（10）考查宾语从句。句意：最基本的是，也许我们就能更好地猜测其他地方是否有其他生命形式，表示"是否"，故填whether。
【点评】做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上，灵活运用所学的词汇和语法知识。因此，这就需要在平时的学习中，牢固掌握语言点及一些语法知识。
