21、The 2022 Future Science Prize, a privately funded science honor established by a group of famous scientists and entrepreneurs, called “China’s Nobel Prize,” was awarded on Sunday to three Chinese scholars for their outstanding achievement in basic scientific research, an exciting boost to encourage innovation in the country’s basic science.
The Life Science Award, the Physical Science Award, and the Mathematics and Computer Science Award of the 2022 Future Science Prize respectively went to Li Wenhui, Yang Xueming, and Mok Ngai-ming, with each of them winning $ 1 million, the award organizer announced.
Lin Chao, chairman of the scientific committee of the 2022 Future Science Prize, said the winners’ research has achieved great international influence. It is the spirit of exploration and continuous scientific research of these scientists that have broadened human beings’ cognitive boundaries in the macro and micro world, and set the direction for an uncertain future.
The Future Science Prize aims at recognizing scientific successes and innovations in China with long-term significance to the world. Chinese research fellows generally believe the selection of famous scientists will play a positive role in encouraging innovation in basic science in China and inspire scientific eagerness among young people.
Liu Dingzhen, a professor from the College of Life Sciences, Beijing Normal University, said that on Sunday that encouraging China’s basic science is of great significance, because basic science takes a long period of time to harvest achievements but it is one of the key factors for the country to resolve bottlenecks in technology, secure supply chains in global competition and achieve the goal of becoming a powerful nation in science and technology.
The prize committee, composed of 23 outstanding scientists, is at the core of the award selection. The award ceremony of the 2022 Future Science Prize is scheduled to be held in November.
Since 2016, 24 winners have been awarded the Future Science Prize, all of whom have been widely recognized both in scientific circles and in society.

22、 Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost £118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid — or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time — check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.
STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.
Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE London’s “Boris bikes” have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.
Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day).
【1】The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________.
A.help travelers pass time
B.attract lots of travelers to the UK
C.allow travelers to make flexible plans
D.cause travelers to pay more for living
【2】“Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably ________.
A.a hotel away from the train station B.the tube line to Covent Garden
C.an ideal holiday destination D.the name of a travel agency
【3】The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat ________.
A.lies on the ground floor
B.is located in central London
C.provides cooking facilities for tourists
D.costs over £100 on average per day in late September
23、China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them,all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However, people still use their bicycles to get around.For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue,yellow, whatever you want.
It’s fun people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic,and ride even on sidewalks.Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture,I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly.To be safe, I stayed with a“pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn't want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide,so crossing took time,skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.
【1】According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?

24、This year’s Olympic Games have been closed to most spectators (观众) because of COVID-19, but the eyes of the world are still on the athletes thanks to five extra cameras—the first step in a 3D tracking system that supplies spectators with instant insights into each step of a race.
The tracking system being used in Tokyo, an Intel product called 3DAT, feeds live footage (影像) into the cloud. There, an artificial intelligence program uses deep learning to analyze an athlete’s movements and identifies key performance characteristics such as top speed and slowdown. The system shares that information with viewers by displaying the action of slow-motion, highlighting key moments. The whole process, from capturing the footage to broadcasting the analysis, takes less than 30 seconds.
“It’s like having your own personal commentator point things out to you in the race,” says Jonathan Lee, director of the Olympic technology group.
To train their Olympic AI via machine learning, Lee and his team had to capture as much footage of best athletes as they could. They needed recordings of human bodies performing specific moves, but the preexisting footage shows average people in motion, Lee says. “People aren’t usually seven feet in the air,” he notes, but world-class high jumpers reach such heights regularly.
In the footage, a team at Intel record every part of the body—eyes, nose, shoulders, and more. Once those key points were identified, the model began connecting them in three dimensions (维度) until it had a simplified performance of an athlete’s form. Lee thinks the AI could help everyone from Olympians to average gymgoers correct their form and track changes in their moves that may indicate upcoming injury. “Long-term, what this technology will do is help improve an athlete’s performance by giving them more information,” two-time Olympic champion Ashton Eaton said.
【1】What does the tracking system provide for the viewers?
A.Information about 3DAT.
B.Live footage from gymgoers.
C.Analysis of the athletes’ personalities.
D.Highlighted key moments in slow motion.
【2】Why did Lee and his team need footage of best athletes?
A.To increase the accuracy of AI.
B.To reach the world-class heights.
C.To record moves of average people.
D.To improve athletes’ specific moves.
【3】What can the system do for average sports enthusiasts?
A.Lower the risk of injury.
B.Train them to be Olympians.
C.Simplify the training process.
D.Track changes in their heights.
【4】What can we infer from Eaton’s words?
A.He benefited a lot from the technology.
B.He was positive about the future of AI.
C.He thought AI was useless for athletes.
D.He wasn’t interested in the development of AI.
