He moved to the Netherlands and majored in Biological Chemistry. It was this university that directed his interest in the synthesis (合成) of nucleotides, the basic units that are required to build DNA. At that time, not many researchers studied the combination of genes (基因), but Roberto's strong chemistry background made a historical invention possible. In 1977, he joined the Genentech, Inc. and the gene synthesis team at City of Hope Medical School. The company funded Dr. Crea's ongoing research on gene synthesis. After working day and night, the brilliant individual finally invented a new procedure that improved the chemical synthesis of genes. Thanks to his rich knowledge and the joint efforts of the excellent Genentech team, he made use of this__discovery to produce the human insulin (胰島素) genes, A and B. It was his invention that allowed Genentech to be labeled as the first producer of human protein. This benefited hundreds of millions of people suffering from diabetes (糖尿病) all over the world.Today Roberto is known as the father of synthetic insulin and had almost won the Nobel Prize. His efforts did not stop after discovering the synthetic insulin; in fact, he was more than driven and tried to make more contributions to the field of biotechnology. His team of experts discovered Ziconotide under his teachings and guidance. According to leading scientists and researchers, this drug is more powerful and effective than morphine (嗎啡), and the best part of this is that it has zero side-effects.Dr. Roberto Crea has a long list of creditable discoveries and researches that he has achieved in 65 years of his life. He is an inspiration for many individuals who aim to add value to humanity with the help of science.4.What may contribute to Roberto's invention of the human insulin genes?A.His good luck in his life.B.His curiosity about his study.C.His creative imagination.D.His knowledge of chemistry.5.What do the underlined words “this discovery” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.A special way of producing human protein.B.A reliable method for curing people of diabetes.C.A new procedure for improving gone synthesis.D.A simple technique of separating human genes.6.What do we know about Roberto in Paragraph 3?A.He won a Nobel Prize.B.He stuck to his scientific research.C.He discovered morphine with his team.D.He retired after making the great discovery.7.Which of the following best describes Roberto?A.Enthusiastic and generous.

This precious cargo, collected by Chang'e-5's robotic research vehicle in the northwest region of the lunar near side, is now being studied by scientists in Beijing. The success of the latest Chinese space mission also showcased technology that may be used in future years to create human settlements on the Earth's near neighbour.“The returned lunar samples will absolutely add new knowledge of the history of the moon, particularly its volcanoes,” says Xiao Long, a planetary scientist at China University of Geosciences. “The rocks sent back by Chang'e-5 will ask us to rethink about why and how the moon's volcanic history lasts this long,” he says.The Chang'e-5 mission was more than just a trip to collect moon rocks. It was also the latest stage of a long, planned sequence of robotic lunar explorations by China that have grown ever more scientifically advanced.The program began with the 2007 launch of Chang'e-1 and Chang'e-2 three years later. These craft circled the moon collecting data used to help guide Chang'e-3 and Chang'e-4, the first Chinese spacecraft to land on the moon surface, and to direct their robotic vehicles. The robot on Chang'e-5 was able to collect rock and soil samples and return them to the Earth. In the near future, an identical spacecraft called Chang'e-6 will attempt a sample-return mission from the moon's south pole—an area of intense scientific interest—given the large amount of water ice present.The more advanced Chang'e-7 and Chang'e-8 spacecraft are also planned to land near the south pole to carry out analysis of the region and test new technologies, including detecting and obtaining materials that could be useful to future human explorers, such as water and hydrogen, and testing 3D printing on the lunar surface.The long-term aim of the Chang'e program is to establish an International Lunar Research Station around 2030 to support robotic and, eventually, crewed missions.8.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The moon's recent volcanic activities.B.The significance of the moon rock samples.C.New knowledge of the history of the moon.D.Further studies of the returned lunar samples.9.What distinguishes the mission of Chang'e-6 from that of Chang'e-5?A.The technology they use.B.The time they spend on the moon.C.The specific locations they explore.D.The amount of material they bring back.10.Chang'e-7 and Chang'e-8 space missions are mainly intended to ________.A.transport researchers to the moon stationB.build up an International Lunar Research StationC.collect data necessary to guide moon-landing spacecraftD.find and test resources and means to support living on the moon11.Which of the following best summarizes the Chang'e space program?A.A project to study the surface of the moon.B.A plan to improve human settlements on the moon.C.A set of experiments to test the possibility of manned spacecraft.D.A series of increasingly challenging scientific lunar explorations.D[2022·昆明市高三“三診一模”]As digital devices (設(shè)備) have taken over society, “Keyboard activity is now often recommended as a substitute for early handwriting,”a new study notes. The idea is that typing may be easier for young children.“Some schools in Norway have become completely digital,” notes Audrey Van der Meer, the new study's leader,who measuresbrainactivity tobetterunderstandlearningand behaviors. She works at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. The human brain has developed to interact with the world in as many ways as possible, she notes. She believes that young children should learn to write by hand successfully, and, at the same time learn to manage a keyboard.Using a pen involves more of the brain than using a keyboard, her new findings show. This is because writing and printing involve complex movements that activate more areas of the brain. The increased brain activity, “gives the brain more ‘hooks’ to hang your memories on,” she explains.Think about it. The same movement is required to type each letter on a keyboard. By comparison, when we write, our brain needs to think about and recover memories of the shape of each letter. We also need to use our eyes to watch what shapes we're writing. And we need to control our hands to press a pen or pencil to shape the different letters. All of this uses and connects more areas of the brain.Along the way, these processes appear to “open the brain up for learning”, says Van der Meer. So learning through only one format—digital—could be harmful, she worries.Van der Meer also points out that taking notes by hand stimulates (激發(fā))“visual notetaking”.Rather than typing blindly, the visual note-taker has to think about what is important to write down. Then, key words can be“interlinked by boxes, and arrows, and supplemented by small drawings”.12.What is the main idea of the text?A.Digital devices are popular with students.B.Handwriting beats typing in taking notes.C.The process of taking notes changes thinking.D.The new study makes contributions to science.13.What should young kids do according to Van der Meer?A.Communicate with the world.B.Rely on keyboard activity.C.Learn to write by hand.D.Master basic drawing skills.14.How does the author draw the conclusion?A.By studying how the brain develops.B.By observing social phenomena.C.By assessing functions of senses.D.By comparing ways of taking notes.15.In which section of a newspaper may the text appear?A.Relationship.B.Fashion.C.Culture.D.Science.第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)閱讀下面短文,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。[2022·福建省高三診斷性練習(xí)]People often want to simplify their lives.

more of the brain than using a keyboard, her new findings show”可知,比較而言,使用筆要比使用鍵盤(pán)涉及較多的大腦活動(dòng);結(jié)合尾段第二句可知,與盲打不同,視覺(jué)記錄者必須思考什么是重要的,要寫(xiě)下來(lái)的。據(jù)此可以推知,本文是通過(guò)比較記筆記的方法來(lái)得出結(jié)論的,故D項(xiàng)正確。15.答案與解析:D 考查理解文章類型的能力。通讀全文可知,本文介紹了一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn):隨著數(shù)字設(shè)備在社會(huì)的廣泛使用,用鍵盤(pán)代替手寫(xiě)成為一種思潮;但是,人類的大腦應(yīng)當(dāng)以盡可能多的方式與世界互動(dòng),這樣更有利于思維的訓(xùn)練;手寫(xiě)比使用鍵盤(pán)更有利于大腦發(fā)展。據(jù)此可知,本文屬于科普類說(shuō)明文,最可能摘自“科技”版塊,故D項(xiàng)正確。第二節(jié)語(yǔ)篇類型:說(shuō)明文 主題語(yǔ)境:人與自我——生活態(tài)度——簡(jiǎn)化生活【語(yǔ)篇解讀】 人們都想要簡(jiǎn)化生活,以減少焦慮、壓力與憂慮。本文從三個(gè)方面提出了建議:清理所有你去年未曾用過(guò)的私人物品、管理你的社交媒體以及電子設(shè)備的使用、簡(jiǎn)化思考。1.答案與解析:C 考查上下文銜接??蘸笾v到按照下面的步驟一步一步地簡(jiǎn)化生活,因此空處應(yīng)是對(duì)此句的設(shè)問(wèn),故C項(xiàng)“那么怎樣簡(jiǎn)化我們的生活呢?”符合語(yǔ)境。2.答案與解析:G 考查上下文銜接。根據(jù)空后句中的“in that bag”可知,空處應(yīng)提到“bag”,故G項(xiàng)(找個(gè)大垃圾袋,繞著你的生活空間走)與空后句“把一年內(nèi)不用的東西放到那個(gè)袋里”語(yǔ)意連貫,符合邏輯,故選G項(xiàng)。3.答案與解析:F 考查上下文銜接。根據(jù)本段主旨句可知,要管理電子設(shè)備的使用,結(jié)合空前一句可知,雖然這些多功能電子設(shè)備是很好的工具,但是它們不應(yīng)成為我們生活中的重心,故F項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。4.答案與解析:A 考查上下文銜接。根據(jù)本段首句可知,本段主要講我們可以簡(jiǎn)化思考??涨爸v我們大部分的思考是不必要的,A項(xiàng)(沒(méi)有思考很重要)是對(duì)上句的遞進(jìn)性闡述,符合語(yǔ)境。5.答案與解析:E 考查段落主旨句。根據(jù)本段尾句可知,上述的三條建議都要花費(fèi)精力與時(shí)間,而我們的精力與時(shí)間是有限的。故E項(xiàng)(簡(jiǎn)化我們的生活是一項(xiàng)復(fù)雜的工作)可作本段主旨句。
