British Science Week is entering its third decade in 2025, taking place on 7-16 March, and the theme to mark
the start of this new era is “Change and adapt”!
Change and adaptation are all around us
Changing and adapting play a big part in science. You can find examples in every area of STEM (science,
technology, engineering and maths). Cities, towns and other areas where people live change and adapt. Plants and
animals change and adapt to their surroundings to survive.
Our behaviors change too— we need to change how we consume the world’s resources to make up for the
worst effects of the climate crisis, and adapt our lifestyles to reduce our impact through recycling or reducingwaste. But change and adaptation don’t just happen here on Earth, and even the stars and other heavenly bodies
change as they gain and lose mass. Perhaps there is life on other planets that adapts as the environment changes.
When exploring this theme, we can also consider how attitudes to STEM and the people who do it have
changed and adapted. Concepts of scientists are changing and we need to keep adapting our thinking until we can
no longer picture a stereotypical (模式化的) scientist— anyone can be a scientist.
Get involved
“Change and adapt” offers a huge variety of topics to explore as part of your British Science Week 2025
activities. Why not contribute your thoughts to our discussion using the hashtag (话题标签) # BSW25?
We’ll be opening the British Science Week activity packs call for contents in the coming weeks, so keep your
eyes on our website and social media for further details.
Applications for Kick Start Grants (拨款), funding for schools to run events during British Science Week in
2025, will open in September 2024.
21. Which of the following fits the theme of British Science Week 2025?
A. Reviewing the history of ancient civilizations.
B. Exploring how urban areas develop over time.
C. Memorizing fixed properties of chemical elements.
D. Tracing the daily routine of a stereotypical scientist.
22. What is the purpose of using the hashtag # BSW25?
A. To apply for Kick Start Grants.
B. To promote British Science Week 2025.
C. To share a wide range of relevant ideas and activities.
D. To restrict participation to those who use social media.
23. What is the text?
A. An event announcement. B. A news report.
C. A scientific research paper. D. A diary entry.
B
If a word is said or looked at steadily for some little time, it will be found to take on a curiously strange and
foreign aspect. This is a phenomenon called semantic satiation that affects our understanding of words when they are
mentioned too often.
The term was created by psychologist Leon James. He conducted several experiments to explore how the concept
affects our thinking and found that it is a kind of tiredness called reactive inhibition (反应性抑制). When a brain cell
fires, it takes more energy to fire afterwards, and finally it won’t even respond unless you wait a few seconds.For example, “Black Friday (a shopping day)” is no longer as appealing as it once was. We’ve repeated “Black
Friday” so much that it is now as indistinct as the packages of common Wal-Mart string cheese that you go past
hurriedly on your way to argue over a half- price vegetable steamer at 3 a. m. Hence, marketers are reconsidering
their sales strategies.
One experiment he conducted sought to explore whether semantic satiation could be used to lessen stuttering
(口吃). He had an assistant call a stuttering participant and they talked on the phone for one minute, creating a
situation that increased anxiety as there were no alternative means of communication for the participant other than
speaking. Ten minutes later, the assistant called again. And the cycle was repeated 10 times throughout the day. The
goal was to induce (诱发) semantic satiation in the stuttering participant related to the emotion of the stress - inducing
phone call. And he says it worked.
Any word can be the victim of semantic satiation, but the amount of time before words lose meaning can vary,
with words that can draw out strong emotions taking longer due to the brain cycling through other associations with
the words. One study showed that when presented with a tone, the sleeping cat immediately woke up. But as they
played the tone again and again, the cat took time to wake up each time, until it kept on sleeping. But when the tone
was varied slightly, the cat woke up immediately. Therefore, when teachers assign word memorization exercises to
students, it is wise to avoid repetitive memorization or the words will become meaningless to students.
24. Which of the following can best explain “semantic satiation”?
A. It’s a kind of serious language learning disability.
B. It’s a reflection of the subjective nature of language.
C. It’s a practice of rearranging letters to form new words.
D. It’s an occurrence arising from the repetition of words.
25. How does semantic satiation affect “Black Friday” according to the text?
A. People lose their craze for “Black Friday”. B. People start buying Wal- Mart string cheese.
C. People merely show interest in goods on sale. D. People make the best of some shopping strategies.
26. What’s the result of the experiment involving a stuttering participant?
A. The participant’s stuttering improved. B. The participant’s stuttering was cured.
C. The participant became more stressed. D. The participant failed to communicate.
27. What’s the implication of the cat experiment f on teachers?
A. Delivering classes in a clear tone.
B. Employing variations in word exercises.
C. Highlighting the importance of the word meaning.
D. Encouraging students to get up early in the morning.C
Mosquitoes (蚊子) carry malaria (疟疾), which kills thousands of people each year. Now some researchers are
trying to use genetic engineering (基因工程) to make them into partners in the fight against the disease.
For years, public health officials have tried to limit the disease by controlling mosquito populations. “But that
approach is short-term,” says Anthony James, a professor of biology and genetics at the University of California,
Irvine, “because mosquitoes are very tough little insects, and their populations can quickly increase.”
Therefore, James and his colleagues want to try a different approach: making mosquitoes themselves into
malaria-fighting warriors, which is completely different from traditional ways of controlling malaria.
To understand how it works, it helps to understand the life cycle of malaria. The malaria pathogen (病原体) is
a parasite (寄生虫) that grow inside humans. It’s passed via mosquitoes that move from person to person, sucking
blood. “If we can make the mosquitoes difficult for the pathogens to survive, we can wipe out the disease,” he says.
But making mosquitoes uninviting to malaria is a Herculean task.
To solve the problem, the team used a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. They started with genes from
mice, whose immune systems do fight human malaria, engineered those genes, and then gave them to the
mosquitoes.
It turned out the gene-edited mosquitoes worked very well. They reduced the number of parasites in the
mosquito before they were passed to a human host.
James’ team are now working on planning a field trial, which he hopes could be done on an island or in
another isolated location.
But genetically changing wild animals does not sit well with environmentalists. “There’s no need to engineer a
mosquito,” says Dana Perls, senior program manager for the emerging technology program at the non-profit
Friends of the Earth. Perls points out that natural ways to reduce malaria appear to be showing promise, as does a
new vaccine (疫苗) against the disease. “Why take unnecessary risks and use mosquitoes that can’t be controlled
once sent into the wild?” she asks.
28. What can we know from the second and third paragraphs?
A. Mosquitoes can reproduce quickly.
B. Mosquitoes can be easily controlled.
C. Mosquitoes have killed thousands of people.
D. Mosquitoes have been used to fight against malaria.
.
29 What does the underlined phrase “a Herculean task” in Para.4 mean?
A. A great comfort. B. A tough job. C. A narrow escape. D. A key factor.
30. What is environmentalists’ attitude towards this new approach?A. Unconcerned. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Unclear.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Preventing Malaria with a New Vaccine.
B. Curing Malaria with Gene-edited mosquitoes.
C. Limiting Malaria by Controlling Mosquito Populations
D. Controlling Malaria by Engineering Mosquitoes’ Genes
D
Everyone is worried about the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care. Opinion pieces debate the ability
of AI to manage patient needs. Doctors are alternately criticizing and advocating for how it can be used in their
practices, and patients are questioning how it will impact their quality of care and their bills. But the reality is that
the big bad wolf at the door of the health care industry isn’t the unknown of machine learning—it’s the very real
threat of innovation leading the charge without doctors controlling the direction.
Trust forms the bedrock of an ethical (道德的) health care system, which creates an environment that prioritizes
the well-being of the patient above all else. Bu as health care startups (初创公司) attempt to reshape the delivery of
patient care, major concerns have emerged regarding the prioritization of business interests over patient outcomes.
Innovation is the key to promising new treatments and cures that will ultimately change the lives of millions—
but the lack of provider involvement in new health care businesses is putting patients in grave danger.
Health care is more complex than any other field, and demands the highest standards when it comes to ethical
practices. There is no room for trial and error when human lives are on the line, nor is it acceptable to misuse private
patient data for profit-driven purposes. Yet we’re seeing new business models grow at alarming rates without regard
for ethical health care practices. It’s this “growth at all costs” attitude that blurs the lines between profitability and
patient outcomes. Investors and executives are putting themselves in positions of power without any strategic advising
from an experienced medical provider.
The modern-day patient has evolved significantly—individuals are showing up to appointments having done
extensive research, and not always on reliable platforms. Patients must be mindful of what information they are giving
out and the associated comfort level of it being shared. Medical history can have unexpected results for your entire
life. Could the release of certain information impact your family, job, or career? The provider’s job is to advocate for
the patient. This includes demanding transparency regarding data handling and security rules, challenging questionable
marketing claims, and ensuring businesses prioritize evidence-based medicine and patient safety.
So, we have to make full use of a provider’s influence and experience, ensuring they are used to promote patient
well-being and protect their interests at every turn. As trusted custodians (管理人) of patient data, health care providers
bear the responsibility of ensuring that the business prioritizes privacy protection and obeys data security rules. Atthe same time, startup companies must take steps to ensure data security and patient-centric ethical practices with
medical professionals in advisory and decision-making positions.
32. What leads to the author’s concerns about the role of AI in health care?
A. The ability of AI to meet patients’ needs.
B. The lack of doctors’ guidance in practice.
C. Doctors’ criticism of AI in their practices.
D. Patients’ complaints about the quality of their care.
33. What does the underlined word “blurs” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Confuses. B. Links. C. Marks. D. Balances.
34. It is implied in this passage that we should ________.
A. limit the development of AI in health care startups
B. encourage doctors to be equipped with AI technologies
C. hold a critical view towards innovation in the health care area
D. inform patients of the threat of AI technologies in health care businesses
.
35 Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. How Is Innovation Advocating for Patients?
B. How Is Innovation Influencing People’s Lives?
C. How Are Some Health Care Startups Putting Patients at Risk?
D. How Are Some Health Care Startups Developing AI Technologies?

They say scuba diving opens up a world of possibilities, from learning new skills to exploring places beyond
your imagination. A few years ago, I was lucky enough to experience all these on a reef dive at the Gili Islands in
Indonesia.
After my first dive, I realized that it has far more in common with yoga than it does with extreme sports. On
land, switching off your brain can be a struggle. Breathing is something that just happens without thinking. When
you’re diving, it’s a totally different ball game. ___36___ You’re suddenly aware of how your movements connect
with each intake of breath.
It’s hard to feel distracted (分神的) when diving. Nature is putting on such a show-stopping performance that
your attention is fully absorbed. You’re right there on the stage, in the moment. ___37___
Something I hadn’t really considered before my first scuba dive was just how human-centric our lives are onland. Everything seems to go around the human experience. But when you dive, it’s a different story entirely.
___38___ A guest in someone else’s home.
___39___ Almost everything in front of you is alive and part of a delicate ecosystem of life. Here, clownfish
weave among the anemones (海葵) and parrotfish feed on their favorite coral (珊瑚). ___40___ Nothing is ours to
take or touch. Suddenly, your own world feels rather tiny and you realize you’re just part of the world.
A. All of a sudden, you’re the outsider.
B. Everything here has its place and purpose.
C. This is what living in the present feels like.
D. Rarely do you take the time to stop and just “be”.
E. Exploring the undersea world is a humbling experience.
F. Your breathing becomes slow, purposeful and rhythmic.
G. Your heart races, your breath quickens and logical thinking goes out.

People are being lured(引诱) onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service, ____56____ realizing
that they're paying for it by giving up plenty of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by
selling their data to advertisers that want to send___57___ (target) messages.
Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still
have no idea ___58___ they’re paying for Facebook, because people don’t really know what their personal details
are worth.
The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you could keep
everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook -- you could create your own little private network.
Last year, the company changed its privacy rules ____59____ many things -- your city, your photo, your friends’
names -- were set, by default(默认), to be shared with everyone on the Internet.
According to Facebook’s vice president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its
service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “___60___ (satisfying) experience.”
,
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model
___61___ involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads
when they are connecting with their friends online?
So far the privacy issue ___62___ (land) Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles
Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Commission to set regulations forsocial-networking sites.
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done ___63___ (invade) our privacy is only the beginning, which is
why I’m considering ___64___ (cancel) my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that
___65___ information is in the hands of people I don’t trust. That is too high a price to pay.

67. 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。
Last year, my brother and I entered the Pioneer Clubs, a weekly kid’s programme at our school. Daniel was
nine, and I was eleven. My dad and my mother were all teachers at the same school. At one point during the year,
my brother began to complain that a boy named John was picking on him.
John is an eleven-year-old boy. He and I were both in my dad’s class. He was the type of kid who always
seemed to be in trouble. What’s worse, he didn’t consider that it was his behaviour that was the problem, but
instead decided my dad was picking on him. He often picked on my brother by knocking off his hat, calling his
name, kicking him and running away. When my mum heard about the problem, she came home from town a few
days later with a bag of candies.
“These are for John,” she told Daniel and me. “For whom?”
“For John. ”Mum went on to explain how an enemy could be conquered (战胜) by kindness.It was hard for any of us to imagine being kind to John. But the next week we went to Pioneer Clubs with
candies in our pockets — one for ourselves and one for John. As I was heading to my class, I overheard Daniel
saying, “Here John, this is for you.” When we got home, I asked what John’s response had been.
Daniel shrugged (耸肩) “He just looked surprised, then he said thank you and ate it.”
The next week when John came running over, Daniel held on to his hat and got himself ready for an attack.
But John didn’t touch him. He only asked, “Hey, Daniel, do you have any more candies?”
After that, John found him every week and asked for a candy, and most times Daniel remembered to bring
them — one for himself, and one for John.
