8、August.二、阅读理解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 usChanging and adapting play a big part in science. You can find examples in every area of ST
9、EM (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 worlds resources to make up for the worst effects of t
10、he climate crisis, and adapt our lifestyles to reduce our impact through recycling or reducing waste. But change and adaptation dont 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 en
11、vironment 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 sci

16、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 t
17、hinking 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 wont even respond unless you wait a few seconds.For example, “Black Friday (a shopping day)” is no longer as appealing as it once was.
18、 Weve 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 so
19、ught 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
20、 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 vi
21、ctim 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
22、. 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 o
23、r the words will become meaningless to students.24Which of the following can best explain “semantic satiation”?AIts a kind of serious language learning disability.BIts a reflection of the subjective nature of language.CIts a practice of rearranging letters to form new words.DIts an occurrence arisin
24、g from the repetition of words.25How does semantic satiation affect “Black Friday” according to the text?APeople lose their craze for “Black Friday”.BPeople start buying Wal- Mart string cheese.CPeople merely show interest in goods on sale.DPeople make the best of some shopping strategies.26Whats th
25、e result of the experiment involving a stuttering participant?AThe participants stuttering improved.BThe participants stuttering was cured.CThe participant became more stressed.DThe participant failed to communicate.27Whats the implication of the cat experiment f on teachers?ADelivering classes in a

Now some researchers are trying to use genetic engineering (基因工程) t
27、o 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, “beca
28、use 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 u
29、nderstand 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. Its 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 wi
30、pe 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
31、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 genet

Perls points out that natural ways to reduce malaria appear to be showin

36、elligence (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
37、 the big bad wolf at the door of the health care industry isnt the unknown of machine learningits 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 prioriti
38、zes 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 w
39、ill ultimately change the lives of millionsbut 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 err
40、or when human lives are on the line, nor is it acceptable to misuse private patient data for profit-driven purposes. Yet were seeing new business models grow at alarming rates without regard for ethical health care practices. Its this “growth at all costs” attitude that blurs the lines between profi
41、tability 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 significantlyindividuals are showing up to appointments having done extensive research, and not
42、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 provi
43、ders 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 providers influence and
44、 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. At the s
45、ame time, startup companies must take steps to ensure data security and patient-centric ethical practices with medical professionals in advisory and decision-making positions.32What leads to the authors concerns about the role of AI in health care?AThe ability of AI to meet patients needs.BThe lack
