21、Science has just proven what we’ve suspected all along that sitting at a desk all day could be making us fat．According to a new study women who work in an office are consuming a shocking 100，030 extra calories in snacks every year—which can add up to a terrifying two stone in weight gain．Yikes!
The research quizzed 1，000 women who work in offices and revealed that on a typical working day women prefer to have at least three snacks，which adds up to almost 500 calories．
Crisps were named as the top weak point of female workers，with an average of 135 bags eaten at work annually and 45 per cent of those surveyed admitting to having “hidden” food personally in the office．Unsurprisingly biscuits were also a favorite desk snack with 39％admitting to hiding away packets of biscuits and the average woman dipping 135 biscuits in their tea every year．Office“cake culture’’ likely has a role to play in the ninety slices of cake women are wolfing down each year．The study also revealed we’re indulging(放纵)our sweet tooth by ploughing through 90 packets of sweets and 45 doughnuts throughout the working year．
Just over a fifth of female workers admit they have absolutely no willpower when it comes to office treats，while three in ten say they eat the food purely because it's there．Women also mentioned being bored，tired or stressed as common reasons for them to eat more in the office．
The survey revealed that so-called “low fat’’ treats are actually adding to that yearly calorific total，with the average female employee consuming 45 packets of high-fat nuts and another 45 bags of sugary dried fruits，every year．The most popular times to reach for a snack are 10：30 am and 3：30 pm，with 48％ of women saying they are always too hungry to wait until lunch．Women also admitted sugary coffees and energy drinks help get them through the day．
【1】How did the researchers find the result of their study?
A. They found it met their expectation． B. They felt confused and puzzled．
C. They found it quite amusing． D. They felt quite surprised．
【2】Women have snacks almost at any time because they_______________.
A. are free to go out when hungry
B. have put them away in advance
C. have too little work to do in the office
D. have the same favourite food with the colleagues
【3】When are women more likely to have snacks in their office?
A. When they have finished hard jobs．
B. When they get their new work started．
C. When they feel tired or anxious．
D. When they feel relaxed and comfortable．
【4】What does the passage want to tell us?
A. Snacks in office time make women fat．
B. Office women having snacks work harder．
C. Female workers have more power in offices．
D. Women working in offices are easy to get fat．
22、The COVID crisis has led many scientists to take up arms (or at least keyboards) to defend their companies and to be sure, science needs defenders these days. But in their passion to fight back against vaccine (疫苗) rejection and other forms of science denial (否定), some scientists say things that just aren’t true.
One popular move is to insist that science is right—full stop—and that once we discover the truth about the world, we are done. Anyone who denies such truths (they suggest) is stupid or ignorant. Even a modest familiarity with the history of science offers many examples of matters that scientists thought they had decided, only to discover that they needed to be reconsidered. Some familiar examples are Earth as the center of the universe, the absolute nature of time and space, the stability of continents, and the causes of infectious disease.
Science is a process of learning and discovery, and sometimes we learn that what we thought was right is actually wrong. Science can also be understood as an institution (or better, a set of institutions ) that promotes this work. To say that science is “true” or “permanent” is like saying that “marriage is permanent”. At best, it’s a bit off-key. Marriage today is adapted to a world that is very different from what it was in the 16th or l8th century, so are most of our “laws” of nature. They are at best, true for now or true until proven otherwise.
In my view, the biggest mistake scientist make is to claim that this is all somehow simple and therefore to imply that anyone who doesn’t get it is dumb. Yet science is not simple, and neither is the natural world where the greatest challenge of science communication lies.
Scientific theories are not perfect copies of reality, but we have good reasons to believe that they capture (捕获) significant elements of it. And experience reminds us that when we ignore reality, it sooner or later comes back to bite us.
【1】What can we learn from Paragraphs 1 and 2?
A．What scientists said is absolutely trustworthy.
B．Scientific findings call for further consideration.
C．It is unwise to deny some truths scientists have found.
D．Social common sense contributes to discovering a scientific theory.
【2】Why does the author compare science to marriage?
A．Neither science nor marriage is reliable.
B．Both science and marriage are true and permanent.
C．Neither science nor marriage remains the same all the time.
D．Both science and marriage can help us tell right from wrong.
【3】What can we know about scientific findings?
A．They are always permanent.
B．They can be proven by experiments.
C．We should be ready for their changes.
D．Different scientific methods reach more scientific findings.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Are Scientists Dependable?
B．Is Science Actually “Right”?
C．Does Truth Really Function?
D．What’s the Scientific Method?
23、It is that time of the year, when a handful of world’s leading scholars, social activists and researchers are rewarded with what is often cited as the most prestigious acknowledgement of human effort — the Nobel Prize. Here’s a look at who has won the prize and for what.
Physiology or Medicine
Swedish geneticist Svante Peabo won the first Nobel of the year, for starting the field of ancient DNA studies. He is well-known for extracting, sequencing, and analyzing ancient DNA from Neanderthal (尼安德特人) bones.
Physics
Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger’s work in quantum (量子) technology landed them the second Nobel Prize announced in 2022. Although Aspect is from France, Clauser from the U.S, and Zeilinger from Austria, the three separately performed “groundbreaking experiments” as one team. “Their results have cleared the way for new technology,” the committee stated.
Chemistry
The Nobel Prize for chemistry went to another trio, Carolyn R. Bertozzi from the U.S., Morten Meldal from Denmark and K. Barry Sharpless from the U.S. “for the development of click chemistry and biorthogonal chemistry (双正交化学),” the committee stated. Dr. Bertozzi is the eighth woman chemist to be awarded the prize, while Dr. Sharpless is the fifth scientist to be awarded two Nobel Prizes.
Economics
The Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded to three American economists, Ben S. Bernanke, Douglas W. Diamond and Philip H. Dybvig “for research on banks and financial crises,” the Nobel Prize committee announced on Monday. By studying the history of American economics, particularly the Great Depression of the 1930s, they improved how we understand the role of banks during times of hardship and the bank’s impact on societal functions.
【1】For what study did Svante Peabo win the prize?
A．The study about the bones of dinosaurs.
B．The study about a new medicine of cancer.
C．The study about the genes of our ancestors.
D．The study about the new ways of sequencing.
【2】How many scientists have won the Nobel Prize twice according to the passage?
A．Eight.
B．Five.
C．Three.
D．Two.
【3】What do the prizes for physics, chemistry and economics in 2022 have in common?
A．Each of them has three winners.
B．Their findings develop a new technology.
C．Their winners are all from the same countries.
D．Their winners help people solve social problems.
