B.Understanding. C.Indifferent. D.Enthusiastic.【答案】8.C9.D10.A11.B【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了阅读使人疲劳的几个原因。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“Engaginginacognitive(认知的)activitylikeroadingrequiresfocusedmentaleffortsandintenseconcentration.Asyourbrainprocessesunfamiliarwords,buildsimagesfromthetext’sdescriptions,andkeepstrackofmultiplecharactersorconcepts,itusesphysicalenergyjustlikeanyotherpartofyourbodywouldduringphysicalwork.(从事像开车这样的认知活动需要集中精神和高度集中注意力。当你的大脑处理不熟悉的单词，根据文本的描述构建图像，并跟踪多个字符或概念时，它就像你身体的任何其他部分在体力劳动时一样消耗体力)”可知，大脑在处理文字和故事元素时消耗能量导致疲劳，故选C。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Eyestrainisn’tjustaboutexhaustionthough;itbringsalongsymptomslikeheadaches,blurredvision,twitchingeyelids,wateryordryeyes—thingsthatcertainlypaintaratherawfulpictureforyourotherwiserelaxingleisureactivity!(眼疲劳不仅仅是疲劳所致；它会带来头痛、视力模糊、眼皮抽动、眼睛湿润或干燥等症状——这些症状肯定会给你原本轻松的休闲活动画上一幅相当糟糕的画面！)”可知，眼睛疲劳的症状是头痛、视力差、眼睛不适。故选D。【10题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Thiseffortengagesyourmindinanimmenselyfocusedtaskwhichmightfeelrelaxingbecauseit’sdistractingfromotherstressorsaroundus(这种努力使你的思想集中在一个高度集中的任务上，这可能会让你感到放松，因为它分散了我们周围其他压力源的注意力)”可知，将看到的字母形状转化为有意义的对话或叙述需要精神能量，这种努力让大脑专注于一项任务，虽有放松之感但也消耗精力，如同跑一场精神马拉松。这表明阅读就像马拉松一样，是一个漫长的过程，故划线部分意思是“长而劳累但有益的精神之旅”。故选A。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“Everfindyourselfyawingandreachingforthepillowafteronlyafewchaptersofyourfavoritebook?Trustme,I’vebeentheretoo;itappearsthatreadingcanindeedtireusout.Thereareseveralreasonsforthis.(你有没有发现自己在看完最喜欢的书的几章后就打哈欠，想要上床睡觉？相信我，我也有过这样的经历；看来阅读确实会使我们疲惫。这有几个原因)”可推知，作者对阅读使人疲劳持理解的态度。故选B。DThe2023NobelPrizeinChemistryhasbroughttheremarkablecapabilitiesofartificialintelligence(AI)intothespotlight,particularlyinthefieldofproteinstructureprediction.Thisyear’sawardcelebratedthedevelopmentofAlphaFold,anAItoolcreatedbyDeepMind,whichhastransformedourabilitytounderstandproteins—thefundamentalbuildingblocksoflife.Proteins,composedofchainsofaminoacids(氨基酸),areessentialforthestructure,function,andregulationoftissuesandorgansinthehumanbody.Traditionally,determiningaprotein’s3Dstructurewasatime-consumingprocessthatcouldtakeyearsofmeticulouswork.However,AlphaFoldhasrevolutionizedthisfieldbypredictingproteinstructuresfromtheiraminoacidsequencesinmereminutes.AlphaFold’ssuccessliesinitsuseofdeeplearningalgorithms(算法)thatcanidentifypatternsinvastamountsofdata.Ithasbeentrainedonextensivedatabasesofknownproteinstructuresandaminoacidsequences,allowingittopredictover200millionproteinstructures.Thisincludesnearlyallcatalogedproteinsknowntoscience,fromhumanstoplants,bacteria,animals,andotherorganisms.TheimpactofAlphaFoldisnotjustlimitedtotheoreticalscience;ithaspracticalapplicationsindrugandvaccinedevelopment.Forexample,AlphaFoldplayedacrucialroleinadvancingresearchforamalariavaccine.Byaccuratelypredictingthestructureofakeyprotein,AlphaFoldenabledscientiststoidentifywhichpartsoftheproteintotargetinthevaccine,thusacceleratingtheresearchfromfundamentalsciencetopreclinicalandclinicaldevelopmentstages.Moreover,AlphaFold’sopen-sourcenatureallowsacademicscientiststopredictproteininteractions,whichiscrucialforunderstandinghowproteinsbehaveinthepresenceofpotentialdrugs.Thisadvancementnotonlyacceleratesbiomedicalresearchbutalsohasthepotentialtoimproveourunderstandingofantibioticresistanceandcontributetothedevelopmentofenzymesthatcandecomposeplastic,addressingenvironmentalconcerns.WithAlphaFolddemonstratinghowAIcansuperchargeexistingknowledgetobenefitmankind,thepossibilitiesofAIinscientificresearcharevastandholdthepromiseoffurtherbreakthroughsthatcouldchangetheworld.12.WhywasAlphaFoldcelebratedbythe2023NobelPrizeinChemistry?A.Itquicklypredictsproteinstructures.
