Scientists regularly make vital new discveries, but few can claim t have invented an entirely new field f science. Chemist Carlyn Bertzzi is ne f them. Her discvery f birthgnal chemistry(生物正交化学) in 2003 created a brand-new discipline f scientific investigatin, which has enabled cuntless advances in medical science and led t a far greater understanding f bilgy at a mlecular(分子的) level. On Octber 5, Bertzzi was awarded the Nbel Prize in Chemistry, jintly with tw ther prfessrs. She is als the nly wman t be awarded a Nbel Prize in science this year, after an all-male line-up in 2021.
Bertzzi was the middle daughter f an MIT physics prfessr and a secretary. Few predicted that Bertzzi wuld be the mst famus persn in the family. While her academic perfrmance was nt bad in high schl, she was fnd f playing sccer. She end ed up being admitted t Harvard University. Despite her talent in sccer, she fund it t time-cnsuming and quit the sprt t devte herself t academics.

Instead, she chse the premed (医学预科的) track that included classes in math and sciences, and declared herself a bilgy majr at the end f her first year f cllege.
Her interest in music did nt cmpletely fall by the wayside, hwever. Bertzzi played keybards and sang backup vcals fr a hair metal band. Bertzzi, hwever, did nt play with the band fr lng. Once the band's practices and perfrmances cnflicted with her labs and classes, there was nly ne utcme.
Plus, she’d sn have rganic chemistry t think abut a curse which is infamus fr weeding ut pre-meds. Withut any clear career ambitins up t that pint, Bertzzi had been thinking abut pssibly becming a dctr when, in her sphmre year(大二学年), she suddenly fell s head ver heels in lve with her chemistry curse that she culdn't tear herself away frm her textbks lng enugh t g ut n
Saturday nights. A trture t many was pure pleasure fr her. Bertzzi changed her majr frm bi lgy t chemistry a year later.
Bertzzi has smetimes jked abut her having missed ut n her chance t fllw Mrell t LsAngeles. “I didn't get n that bus, and my playing is nw limited t ‘The Wheel s n the Bus G Rund,’ I'm waiting fr my sns t get ld enugh t appreciate 1980s heavy metal!”

Willie Suttn, a nce celebrated American criminal, was partly famus fr saying he rbbed banks because “that’s where the mney is.” Actually, museums are where the mney is. In a single gallery there can be paintings wrth mre, taken tgether, than a whle fleet f jets. And while banks can hide their mney in basements, museums have t put their valuables in plain sight.
Nthing culd be wrse than the thught f a painting as imprtant as The Scream, Edvard Munch's impressive image f a man screaming against the backdrp f a bld-red sky, disappearing int a criminal underwrld that desn't care much abut careful treatment f art wrks. Art theft is a vast prblem arund the wrld. As many as 10,000 precius items f all kinds disappear each year. And fr smaller museums in particular, it may nt be a prblem they can affrd t slve. The mney fr insurance n very famus pictures wuld be budget destryers even fr the largest museums.
Althugh large museums have had their share f embarrassing rbberies, the greatest prblem is small institutins. Neither can affrd heavy security. Large museums attach alarms t their mst valuable paintings, but a mdest alarm system can cst $500,000 r mre. Sme museums are lking int tracking equipment that wuld allw them t fllw stlen items nce they leave the museums. But cnservatrs are cncerned that if they have t insert smething, it might damage the bject. Meanwhile, smaller museums can barely affrd enugh guards, relying instead n elderly staff.
Thieves smetimes try using artwrks as mney fr ther underwrld deals. The planners f the 2006rbbery f Russbrugh Huse near Dublin, wh stle 18 paintings, tried in vain t trade them fr Irish Republican Army members held in British prisn. Others demand a ransm(赎金) frm the museum that wns the pictures. Once thieves in Frankfurt, Germany, made ff with tw majr wrks by J. M. W. Turner frm the Tate Gallery in Lndn. The paintings, wrth mre than $80 millin, were recvered in 2012 after the Tate paid mre than $5 millin t peple having “infrmatin” abut the paintings. Thugh ransm is illegal in Britain, mney fr lking int a case is nt, prvided that plice agree the surce f the infrmatin is uncnnected t the crime. All the same, where infrmatin mney end s and ransm begins is ften a gray area.
8. Why d smaller museums face a greater challenge in preventing art theft?
A. They lack experienced staff.
B. They cannt affrd high-tech security systems.
C. They d nt have valuable artwrks.
D. They lack interest in art cnservatin.
9. What is the cncern f cnservatrs regarding the use f tracking equipment t prevent art theft?
A. It might damage the artwrk.
B. It is t expensive fr smaller museums.
C. It is difficult t insert int the paintings.
D. It is ineffective fr valuable paintings.
10. Frm Paragraph 4, we can learn that .
A. the thieves demanded a ransm frm the Tate Gallery
B. the Tate Gallery regained the lst paintings illegally
C. the mney paid was cnsidered an infrmatin fee, nt a ransm
D. the plice requested the Tate Gallery t pay the mney
11. The purpse f this passage is .
A. t remind criminals t prtect and preserve the painting
B. t give suggestins n hw t avid the crimes f art theft
C. t urge museums t set up mre advanced security systems
D. t make peple aware f art theft and the necessity f gd security systems

Wh cares if peple think wrngly that the Internet has had mre imprtant influences than the washing machine? Why des it matter that peple are mre impressed by the mst recent changes?
It wuld nt matter if these misjudgments were just a matter f peple's pinins. Hwever, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use f scarce resurces.
The fascinatin with the ICT(Infrmatin and Cmmunicatin Technlgy) revlutin, represented by the Internet, has made sme rich cuntries wrngly cnclude that making things is s “yesterday” that they shuld try t live n ideas. This belief in “pst-industrial sciety” has led thse cuntries t neglect their manufacturing sectr(制造业) with negative cnsequences fr their ecnmies.
Even mre wrryingly, the fascinatin with the Internet by peple in rich cuntries has mved the internatinal cmmunity t wrry abut the “digital divide” between the rich cuntries and the pr cuntries. This has led cmpanies and individuals t dnate mney t develping cuntries t buy cmputer equipment and Internet facilities. The questin, hwever, is whether this is what the develping cuntries need the mst. Perhaps giving mney fr thse less fashinable things such as digging wells, extending electricity netwrks and making mre affrdable washing machines wuld have imprved peple's lives mre than giving every child a laptp cmputer r setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am nt saying that thse things are necessarily mre imprtant, but many dnatrs have rushed int fancy prgrammes withut carefully assessing the relative lng-term csts and benefits f alternative uses f their mney.
In yet anther example, a fascinatin with the new has led peple t believe that the recent changes in the technlgies f cmmunicatins and transprtatin are s revlutinary that nw we live in a “brderless wrld”. As a result, in the last twenty years r s, many peple have cme t believe that whatever change is happening tday is the result f great technlgical prgress, ging against which will be like trying t turn the clck back. Believing in such a wrld, many gvernments have put an end t sme f the very necessary regulatins n crss-brder flws f capital, labur and gds, with pr results.
Understanding technlgical trends is very imprtant fr crrectly designing ecnmic plicies, bth at the natinal and the internatinal levels, and fr making the right career chices at the individual level. Hwever, ur fascinatin with the latest, and ur under valuatin f what has already becme cmmn, can, and has, led us in all srts f wrng directins.
12. What are the effects f peple' misjudgments n the influences f new technlgy?
A. It stimulates innvatin.
B. It affects their persnal pinins.
C. It influences their use f resurces.
D. It leads t imprved technlgy.
13. Why is the “digital divide” a cncern related t the fascinatin with the Internet in rich cuntries?
A. It leads t cmpetitin between rich and pr cuntries.
B. It results in a lack f access t technlgy in develping cuntries.
C. It increases the cst f cmputer equipment in rich cuntries.
D. It prmtes glbal digital cperatin.
14. Frm Paragraph 4, we knw that .
A. dnating fr technlgy is always the better ptin
B. the authr des nt prvide pinins n this matter
C. dnating fr technlgy and basic needs shuld be balanced
D. dnating fr basic needs shuld be priritized ver technlgy
15. What is the passage mainly abut?
A. Significance f infrmatin and cmmunicatin technlgy.
B. Serius cnsequences f ver-emphasizing high technlgy.
C. Technlgical trends guiding ecnmic plicy making.
D. Hw t use dnatin mney in the new age.

Imagine it's yur birthday, and yur friends and family pl their mney t get yu the best gift yu can imagine: tickets fr fabulus seats t see yur favrite musical act. But what if yu gt t the venue and smething terrible had just happened t yu? 16 .

We can tap int the music, and when we d find urselves distracted frm it, we can use cnsciusness t bring us right back. It is as simple as saying, “OK, I'm distracted again; I am ging t start listening again.” 19 .
Life is always playing music, but we have t listen, and we listen by being present. We can d this. 20 . When we d this, we'll discver that the symphny inside f us is magnificent.

In this way, they culd help students in the area and prtect the envirnment at the same time.
Fr a 33 slutin t e waste, the drp ff center wasn't enugh. Laws wuld have t be passed. In 2016,WIN helped 34 fr an e waste bill in their twn, which required cmpanies that manufactured r sld electrnics t take back e waste. The bill clearly 35 the dumping f e waste.
Because f the wrk f WIN, mre and mre peple, like Alex and his team, are getting the message abut safe dispsal f e-waste. As Alex says, “Tday’s technlgy shuld nt becme tmrrw’s harmful garbage.

As a child, I grew up in a mdest neighbrhd where access t bks was limited. My parents installed in me a lve fr reading, and I lnged fr mre knwledge. That's when Mrs. Hendersn, a retired teacher with a passin fr bks, decided t establish a little library in ur cmmunity.
The library was a small wden structure, almst like a dllhuse, situated at the end f ur street. Mrs. Hendersn filled it with a variety f bks, frm children's stries t classics and nn-fictin. The library was free fr anyne in the neighbrhd t use, and it quickly became a hub fr the curius minds f ur cmmunity, myself included.
I vividly remember the first time I stepped int that tiny library. The shelves were packed with bks f all kinds. I felt like I had entered a treasure trve. I started brrwing bks regularly, and the mre I read, the mre I thirsted fr knwledge.
It wasn't just the bks that made this library special; it was Mrs. Hendersn herself. She wuld spend hurs talking t each child, helping them chse bks that matched their interests. She made learning fun and accessible, and she inspired us t dream big.
注意：续写词数应为 150 左右。
As I cntinued t visit the library, my hrizns expanded. I read abut places I had never seen, met characters with diverse backgrunds and experiences, and learned abut different cultures and perspectives.
Every time I entered the library, I culd always see Mrs. Hendersn bus y with the bks. She knew us by name, ur favrite genres, and ur wildest dreams. One day,
