Seattle, a lively city in the United States, awaits your exploration! Here’re its four famous attractions.

The Space Needle

This is an absolute must-visit. Standing tall against the skyline, it offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the

city. You can take a lift ride to the sightseeing stand. Tickets start from$30 for adults. There’re also dining options

available at the top, allowing you to taste a delicious meal while taking in beautiful scenery. Before visiting it,

check the weather forecast, as clear days provide the best views.

Discovery Park

It’s Seattle’s largest park, offering miles of hiking tracks through forests, grassland, and along the coastline.

You can spot wildlife such as eagles, deer, and various seabirds. The park also has beautiful beaches where you can

relax and take in the ocean views. It’s free to access. Stay on designated tracks to avoid disturbing the natural

habitat. In case of encountering wildlife, keep a safe distance and do not feed them.

Chihuly Garden and Glass

The exhibition showcases the splendid works of Dale Chihuly, with his complex and colorful glass art

installations (装置). The garden combines nature and art well, with glass sculptures placed among the greenery.

Tickets are about $35. Photography is allowed, but be careful not to touch the glass art, as it’s very delicate.

Seattle Art Museum

Housing an extensive collection of art from different cultures and time periods, this museum is a cultural

treasure. From ancient sculptures to modern paintings, there’s something to inspire every visitor. Special

exhibitions are often held. Admission prices vary depending on the exhibits. Keep in mind that some exhibits may

have restrictions on photography.

Demis Hassabis, one of the recipients of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, was born on July 27th, 1976, in

London.

He started learning chess at 4 and won the London Under-8 Championship two years later. Another 7 years

later, he achieved the second place globally in the under-14 age group chess competition. This was the first time

that he’d shocked the world. In 1992, he was admitted to the Computer Science program at the University of

Cambridge. He entered University College London in 2005 to pursue a Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience. In 2011, he

founded DeepMind, which is a world-leading artificial intelligence (AI) research group. After 5 years, the AI

program AlphaGo he created defeated the world’s top Go player, Lee Sedol. In 2020, DeepMind’s AI system

AlphaFold participated in a competition organized by the Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP) on

calculating the 3D structure of protein molecules (分子) and achieved an unexampled level of prediction accuracy.

Hassabis was considered one of the “smartest humans on Earth” by the great British physicist Stephen

Hawking, who served as a professor at the University of Cambridge before he passed away in 2018. In 2014,

DeepMind was acquired by Google for 600 million dollars even before it had publicly released any products and

had only 20 technicians. Since then, Hassabis and his team have influenced Google’s development direction for the

next decade, guiding the tech giant from a mobile-first approach to an AI-first one.

Demis Hassabis, along with David Baker and John M. Jumper, was awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in

Chemistry for their contributions to protein structure prediction. Their AlphaFold has solved a 50-year-old problem

by being able to predict the complex structures of approximately 200 million known proteins. The success of

AlphaFold not only lies in its accuracy of prediction but also in its broad application prospects. Through this model,

scientists can gain a deeper understanding of the structure and function of proteins, providing more accurate

information for new drug research and development and disease treatment.

4. At what age did Hassabis surprise the world for the first time?

A.4. B.6. C.13. D.16.

5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about regarding Hassabis?

A. His hobbies as a child. B. His growing-up experiences.

C. His studies on protein molecules. D. His purposes of inventing AlphaGo.

6. Why does the author mention Stephen Hawking?

A. To compare him with Hassabis. B. To recall the birth of DeepMind.

C. To stress Hassabis’ bond with him. D. To show Hassabis’ being recognized.

7. What does Hassabis’ success mainly imply?

A. AI aids scientific progress. B. Teamwork makes a difference.

C. Opportunities are multiple. D. Prediction is the key point.

Scurvy has long been associated with early explorers who lacked access to fresh fruits and vegetables while

they traveled around the globe for years at a time. But scurvy, which is caused by Vitamin C deficiency (缺乏),

isn’t an illness that has gone away.

Doctors recently diagnosed (诊断) scurvy in two patients living in distant parts of the planet, one in Canada

and one in Australia. The Australian case centers on a 51-year-old man. Doctors ran their first series of tests to

check for internal bleeding, as well as blood disorders. But none of their diagnostic tools offered any clues as to

what was causing the man’s illness. Doctors learned that the man was unemployed and living alone. He’d been

eating mostly processed foods, and he had begun skipping meals more frequently in the weeks leading to his

hospital visit. He received a weight loss surgery eight years earlier but to save money, he stopped taking the

nutrients that the doctor told him to take.

Armed with this information, doctors ordered a new round of tests, which showed that the man had no

detectable levels of Vitamin C in his system. Eventually, doctors diagnosed him with scurvy.

Doctors in Canada described a similar experience this month in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. A

65-year-old woman came to a Toronto hospital with leg weakness, and poor mobility.

In both cases, doctors didn’t routinely test for scurvy because they thought humans had got rid of scurvy. “This

is based on the condition that there is plentiful Vitamin C in our modern food supply, so deficiency should not

occur,” says Lauren Ball, a community health researcher. Fortunately, Vitamin C deficiency is easy to treat.

While doctors diagnosed 8.2 cases per 100,000 children in 2016, that number had increased to 26.7 per

100,000 by 2020. The average age of patients with scurvy was 2 years old. And in an analysis of nearly 13,000

Vitamin C tests, 29.9 percent of patients had a modest deficiency and 24.5 percent had a significant deficiency.

8. What did the doctors find after conducting their first series of tests on the man?

A. The man once suffered from scurvy. B. The man used to eat irregularly.

C. Their diagnostic tools went wrong. D. Their test methods didn’t work at all.

9. What’s the doctors’ initial attitude to the possibility of developing scurvy in both cases?

A. Concerned. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.

10. What are the statistics in the last paragraph about concerning scurvy?

A. Its features. B. Its variety. C. Its trend. D. Its results.

11. What’s the best title for the text?

A. Scurvy: A New Problem? B. Scurvy: A Forgotten Illness?

C. Scurvy: A Permanent Memory? D. Scurvy: An Easily-treated Disease?

Mislabeling is a worldwide issue, and it occurs when the species of fish you’re buying is not the one you

actually receive.

Fish products often pass through multiple countries before they finally reach our table. Along the way,

products can be misidentified as another species or intentionally renamed to make more profit. For instance, a

cheap fish like tilapia may be given the name of a more expensive fish, like red snapper, or an endangered species
