Louis Pasteur was a great scientist who not only made significant achievements in the
field of microbiology but also invented a food preservation method that is still widely
used today--the process of pasteurization(巴氏杀菌法).
In the mid-19th century, Pasteur noticed that wine and beer often turned sour during
production, causing substantial economic losses for the brewing industry(酿酒行
业).At that time, brewers did not understand the specific reasons why alcoholic drinks
would turn sour.
Pasteur began conducting a series of experiments to determine the cause of the souri
ng of alcoholic drinks. He discovered that the souring was due to microorganisms in t
he air entering the drinks. These microorganisms would multiply in the drinks, causing
them to go bad.
To prove that microorganisms were not generated on their own but came from pre- e
xisting microorganisms, Pasteur designed a famous experiment known as the swan ne
ck flask(鹅
瓶)experiment. He attached a curved glass tube to a bottle containing soup. The soup
was exposed to air, but microorganisms in the air could not directly enter the soup. T
his experiment demonstrated that soup without microorganisms would not go bad.
Based on these findings, Pasteur began searching for a method to kill the microorgani
sms in wine while preserving its quality. He discovered that by heating the wine to a c
ertain temperature and maintaining it for a period, he could kill the microorganisms w
ithout destroying the flavor of wine. This method later became known as pasteurizatio
n.
4
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Pasteurization was quickly adopted by the brewing industry and rapidly spread to oth
er food and beverage industries. This method not only extended the shelf life of food
s but also improved food safety.
The invention of pasteurization had a profound impact on the food industry. Even tod
ay, pasteurization is widely used in the production of milk, juice, and other foods, help
ing to reduce the risk of food-related illnesses,
24. What does the author want to state in paragraph 2?
A. The topic of the text.
B. The process of pasteurization.
C.Pasteur's scientific contribution,
D. Pasteur's inspiration for inventing pasteurization.
25.Why did Pasteur do the swan neck flask experiment?
A. To show that soup exposed to air will always go bad.
B. To demonstrate that microorganisms can generate themselves.
C.To prove that microorganisms come from pre-existing ones.
D. To indicate that soup can keep long without any air exposure.
26. What did Pasteur's method achieve for the brewing industry?
A. The extended shelf life. B. Improved wine flavors.
C. The faster production time. D.Changed beverage colors.
27. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. The Role of Temperature in Food Safety

C. The Economic History of Brewing in the 19th Century
D. The Discovery of Microorganisms and Pasteur's Experiments
C
In Mediterranean waters, off the coast of France, a diver recently visited the shipwreck
La Lune, which lay untouched and unexplored on the ocean bottom since it sank in 1
664. But the wreck's first visitor in centuries wasn't human. It was a robot.
Called OceanOne, the bright orange diving robot measures about 1. 5 meters i
n length and has a torso ( 躯 干 ) ， a head with stereoscopic vision( 立 体 视
觉)and arms. Its lower section holds its computer “brain", a power supply, and an arra
y of eight multidirectional thrusters(推进器).
Guided by a computer scientist from a boat,OceanOne combined artificial int
elligence, sensory feedback and flexible mechanical construction to perform delicate t
asks underwater, such as retrieving a delicate cultural relic from the ruins. It can place
the cultural relic in a box so the thing can be brought to the surface.
OceanOne can not only investigate parts of the ocean that are less accessible
to people, but can do so with the flexibility of a human diver. The engineers also crea
5
学科网（北京）股份有限公司ted an interface ( 接 口 )that allows a person to not only control the robot, but to actually
“feel” what the robot is touching. “The intention here is to have a human diving virtually,” sa
id
Oussama Khatib,who piloted OceanOne on its La Lune visit. Khatib,a professo
r of computer science at Stanford University in California,explained that the experienc
e of guiding the robot is almost like being the diver. "You can feel exactly what the ro
bot is doing," said Khatib.
OceanOne is also capable of interpreting and responding to its environment
autonomously, detecting whether its hands-on work requires a lighter touch and whe
n it needs to make adjustments to stay in place or change direction.
The team behind OceanOne viewed the robot as a means for studying Red Sea
's coral reefs at depths that were inaccessible to a human diver. OceanOne would con
duct underwater research--operated by a scientist on the surface--without damaging
the reef or its inhabitants.
28. What do we know about OceanOne?
A. It has replaced a diver's job. B. It functions as a human.
C. It is a fish living in the ocean. D. It can conduct demanding tasks.
29. What does the underlined word “retrieving” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Carving. B.Recovering.
C.Guiding. D.Crashing.
30. What is the engineers' purpose of creating an interface?
A. To make a diver operate it conveniently.
B. To connect the robot to other computers,
C. To satisfy an operator's virtual experience.
D. To learn well how the robot performs tasks.
31. Which word can best describe OceanOne?
A. Tiny. B.Traditional.
C.Human-like. D. Multifunctional.
D
New research indicates that physical activity lowers cardiovascular(心血管
的)disease risk in part by reducing stress-related signals in the brain.
In the study, which was led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH)
， people with stress-related conditions such as depression experienced the most car
diovascular benefits from physical activity.
To assess the mechanisms(机
制)underlying the psychological and cardiovascular disease benefits of physical activity,Ahmed Ta
wakol，MD，
an investigator and cardiologist in the Cardiovascular Imaging Research Center at MG
6
学科网（北京）股份有限公司H,and his colleagues analyzed medical records and other information of 50,359 partici
pants from the Mass General Brigham Biobank who completed a physical activity surv
ey. A subset of 774 participants also underwent brain imaging tests and measurement
s of stress-related brain activity.
Over a median follow-up of 10 years, 12.9% of participants developed cardiovascular
disease.Participants who met physical activity recommendations had a 23% lower risk
of developing cardiovascular disease compared with those not meeting these recomm
endations. Individuals with higher levels of physical activity also tended to have lower
stress-related brain activity.
Significantly, reductions in stress-related brain activity were driven by gains in function
in the prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮质)，a part of the brain involved in executive(执行
的) function (i. e. decision making and impulse control). It is known to control stress c
enters of the brain.
As an extension of this finding, the researchers found in a group of 50,359 participant
s that the cardiovascular benefit of exercise was substantially greater among participa
nts who would be expected to have higher stress-related brain activity, such as those
with pre-existing depression.
Analyses accounted for other lifestyle variables and risk factors for cardiovascular dise
ase.Moreover,reductions in stress-related brain signals partially accounted for physical
activity's cardiovascular benefit.
“Physical activity was roughly twice as effective in lowering cardiovascular disease risk
among those with depression. Effects on the brain's stress-related activity may explain
this novel observation," said Tawakol, who is the senior author of the study.
32.Why did the research group analyze medical data of the participants?
A. To assess the impact of cardiovascular disease,
B. To find out how exercise lowers cardiovascular risk.
C.To decide the mechanisms of cardiovascular disease.
D. To test how much physical activity the participants needed.
33. How may physical activity lower cardiovascular disease risk?
A. By promoting function of the brain.
B.By controlling stress centers of the brain.
C.By decreasing stress-related brain activity.
D.By reducing executive function of the brain.
34.What advice may Tawakol give?
A. To work out regularly. B. To eat healthily.
C. To be in a good mood. D.To avoid cardiovascular disease.
35. In which section may the text appear in a newspaper?
A. Mind and learning, B. Matter and energy.
7
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. Science and society. D.Health and medicine.

This is a story about an act of kindness that I did, which in turn changed my life in a
way.
I used to teach in a university with a master's degree. In my country, it was better to
have a PhD for career advancement, and my qualifications needed to be improved. So
I telephoned Professor Smith for help. I had heard that he was a good doctoral supe
rvisor in the university, but I hadn't met him. I tried to call him once, but to my disap
pointment, he said he was a little busy at that time and that he would contact me lat
er.
One day, I was driving home from the university when I saw an accident at the side of
the road. The two cars collided(碰撞)，
but fortunately the drivers were not injured. They argued with each other about the a
ccident and became annoyed. Then I stopped my car to see if they might need my he
lp.
“Calm down, gentlemen. What's the matter?" I approached them and said.
“It's just a minor scratch(划
10
学科网（北京）股份有限公司痕).There were some disagreements when we tried to work things out privately. I think
he is asking for a little too much," one driver said to me. I learned that he didn't hav
e enough money on hand to pay for the damage. Understanding the situation, I offer
ed to help. I paid the amount needed to settle the matter.
A troublesome matter turned into a peaceful resolution with my involvement. When t
he driver offered to exchange our business cards, I agreed. “It was so kind of you to r
each out. I'll repay your money tomorrow," he said. “Forget it. It's just a small thing," I
responded. Finally, we said goodbye to each other. However, I didn't expect my kind
behavior would really bring me good luck.
When I went back home, I happened to see the driver's business card. I was surprised
to find that the driver I had helped was Professor Smith who I wanted to turn to for
help. I confidently decided to call him again the next day to make an appointment.
