one-handed play, making use of materials at hand. The activity highlights the importance of creativity, engineering
capability, and working together as a team, while immersing students in the thrilling atmosphere of the Summer
Olympics.Skateboarding STEM Activity
The Skateboarding STEM Activity challenges students to craft a small skateboard, along with constructing a
skatepark to demonstrate their fingerboarding skills. This hands-on experience is a fun way to connect with the
energetic world of skateboarding featured in the Summer Olympics, fostering teamwork, innovation, and practical
learning. Additionally, the activity emphasizes the importance of sustainable design, encouraging students to consider
environmental impact when choosing materials for their skateboard and skatepark.
Golf STEM Challenge
The Golf STEM Challenge offers students the exciting project of designing and building a mini golf course,
along with creating their own golf club. This innovative approach to learning not only brings the spirit of the Summer
Olympics into the classroom but also fosters teamwork, problem-solving, and a deeper understanding of the scientific
concepts behind the game of golf. Students are also prompted to think about sustainability in their golf course design,
exploring ways to minimize the environmental footprint of their project.
By integrating STEM education with the excitement of the Olympics, we can inspire students to see the value

On a sunny Sunday morning, I went to my first ballet class. But I didn’t do any dancing. This was Class on
Stage, a rare opportunity to watch dancers from the National Ballet of Canada warm up during their daily 75-
minute class at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts.
I went in knowing that I would be impressed by the physicality of it. Top athletes aren’t born; they’ re made.
Forty-five minutes into the class, the dancers didn’t even look tired. Now the basic warm-up work was done,
and the floor was cleared. Although watching dancers quietly plie (下蹲屈膝) in unison with complete control was
a calming experience, the floor exercises that followed were quite the opposite.
The sequences were short but became increasingly complicated, so I stopped paying attention to the directions
I couldn’t follow, and simply allowed myself to observe the remarkable results. At the end of the class, I applauded
and watched the dancers leave the stage. They had already accomplished so much with their day, and I was left in
complete awe, not just of my inadequacy, but also of their effort.
As I headed home I tried to think of the last time I worked as hard as those dancers at anything in my own life.
So much has been made easier by technology:I can listen to any song I want, whenever I want. I can have pretty
much anything delivered. I can stay in touch with friends without making the time to see them. But instead of
taking shortcuts, maybe I should look for challenges. Because once you start doing hard things, they become easier,
and then you know you can do them. Until one day you find yourself at the end of your ballet warmup, having
barely broken a sweat.
With the determination and discipline of ballet dancers still fresh in my mind, I commit to doing some hard
things: I get back in the habit of practicing a language I’ve been trying to learn. I lift heavier weights. I take the
stairs. I write the essay.
Nothing demands as much of me as what ballet demands of those dancers every day. They inspire me. So, I
guess what I’m trying to say is that sometimes a fitness class can change your life, even if you’ re not the one takingit.
41. Why did the author visit the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts?
A. To participate in a ballet class.

C. Amused and fascinated. D. Indifferent and uninterested.
43. What did the author reflect on as he headed home?
A. The experiences related to hard work. B. The importance of technology in life.
C. The techniques used by the dancers. D. The beauty of ballet performances.
44. What does the author commit to doing?
A. Developing a well-balanced lifestyle. B. Becoming a professional ballet dancer.
C. Setting personal challenges in daily life. D. Avoiding taking shortcuts when exercising.
45. What does the author convey at the end of the passage?
A. Fitness classes are only for athletes.
B. Ballet is the most important art form.
C. Watching others is more valuable than participating.
D. Hard work and discipline can lead to personal growth.

Just after hatching, many birds learn to identify and follow the first moving object they encounter — a process
called imprinting (印记行为，印随), which can offer protection in the wild as it helps them stay near a parent. It
doesn’t take much visual information for a bird to learn to prefer one object and follow it. Researchers wanted to
know whether AI models called transformers could do a similar task with limited inputs.
Transformers are generic (普通的) learning systems that can be trained to perform a wide variety of tasks,
making them useful in both AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and in computer vision applications, such as autonomous
car navigation.
“To directly compare learning algorithms(算法) to brains, we need to train them on the same experiences,”
says Samantha Wood at Indiana University Bloomington. She first raised chicks in a box where the only visual
stimulation came from a rotating 3D object presented on a screen. After the first week, she ran each chick through
hundreds of test trials that showed that same object on one screen-presented from both familiar and unfamiliarperspectives — and displayed a second unfamiliar object on another screen. The chicks spent more of their time
near the first object, suggesting they had imprinted on it.
The researcher then created a virtual simulation (仿造物) of the set-up and used a virtual agent to move
through it while looking around and recording a first-person view. That provided tens of thousands of simulated
images for training and evaluating four transformer models.
The AI models had just 300 milliseconds to learn from each simulated image — approximating how long
biological neurons (神经元) fire after being presented with an image. The researcher found that the AIs could learn
to recognise a 3D object as quickly and accurately as the chicks.
The study is “a great piece of work” in comparing machine performance with biological brains, says Antone
Martinho-Truswell at the University of Sydney. But he also notes, “We might be able to say that the chick ‘saw’ its
imprinting object, but that will have a component of experience to it. Particularly as imprinting is to do with
identifying its mother, it would be unsurprising if that visual experience were combined with a suite of other
components of experience: fear yielding to comfort, for example, as the chick comes to regard the object as its
imprinted’ mother’.”
46. Why do newborn birds engage in imprinting?
.
A To enhance their navigation skills. B. To develop their social behaviour.
C. To establish a protective bond with a guardian. D. To improve their communication with other birds.
47. How did Samantha Wood conduct the initial experiment with chicks?
A. She raised them with a rotating visual element.
B. She observed their behaviour in a natural habitat.
C. She showed them various moving objects on screens.
D. She exposed them to various visual stimulations in the wild.
48. What did the test trials indicate about the chicks’ behavior?
A. They were afraid of the imprinted object.
B. They preferred being near the imprinted object.
C. They confused the imprinted object with others.
D. They showed no preference for the imprinted object.
49. What role did the virtual simulation play in the research?
A. To imitate natural bird behaviour. B. To assess virtual agents’ effectiveness.
C. To create a visually diverse environment. D. To test AI models’ 3D object identification.
50. What’s challenging about comparing AI to biological brains?
A. The rapid learning pace of AI models.B. Recreating real-world environments for experiments.
C. The complexity and diversity of biological experiences.
D. Conducting additional experiments with various animals.

Some people are under the impression that success is an exclusive club for those who are either born with
exceptional talent or grew up in privileged circumstances. There are also those who would argue that success is
mostly a matter of being in the right place at the right time, relying heavily on luck. I’m not here to dismiss the fact
that luck, talent, and favorable circumstances do indeed play a part in one’s success. It’s true that some individuals
have the advantage of being born into families that provide them with a head start, while others are endowed with
remarkable intelligence from birth. These are undeniable aspects of life as we know it.
However, when it comes to achieving success in life, the journey begins with setting a clear and ambitious goal.
This goal must then be broken down into manageable steps that make it more practical and attainable. Beyond setting
goals, to truly excel at something, one must be prepared to dedicate a significant amount of time to studying and
practicing. The often-cited rule of thumb (经验法则) is that it takes at least 10,000 hours of focused effort to master
a skill. For some pursuits, the path to greatness may require even more time and commitment, a level of dedication
that many are unwilling to give.
This is why it’s crucial to choose a path that aligns with (使一致) your passions. If you don’t genuinely enjoy
what you’ re doing, the long hours of hard work can become a source of unbearable pain and frustration, making it
likely that you’ ll abandon your efforts well before you achieve any level of proficiency.
When we observe individuals who have developed exceptional skills or reached great heights of success, we
should recognize the substantial investment of time and the sacrifices they’ve made to get there. It’s sometimes easy
to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s
a huge chance that you’ re wrong anyway.
No matter what your pursuit, if you desire to be great at it, you must be willing to work tirelessly, day after day,
to the point where your work becomes an integral part of your identity. Over an extended period, this level of
commitment is what separates the good from the great. If you’ re not ready to make such a significant investment of
time and effort, then it’s unrealistic to expect to harvest significant rewards. While consistent, hard work does not
guarantee the level of success you may desire to, it does guarantee that you will become highly skilled and
accomplished in whatever field you have chosen to dedicate yourself to. Success, in the end, is a testament to your
perseverance and dedication, not just the hand you were dealt in life.
51. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to _________.
A. make a comparison of views on successB. reach a conclusion about the factors of success
C. propose a definition of what success truly means
D. present an argument on the complexity of success
52. The author mentions the “10,000 hours” rule to _________ .
A. highlight the role of luck in success
B. show the extensive time needed for mastery
C. argue against the significance of goal-setting
D. emphasize the importance of being born talented
53. Why is it important to choose a path that aligns with your passions?
A. To reduce the amount of effort needed to succeed.
B. To make hard work more bearable and fulfilling.
C. To help you avoid any challenges or difficulties.
D. To guarantee immediate success in your career.
54. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Successful people follow the same path to achievement.
B. People need to have equal chance of achieving great success.
.
C Successful people are fond of showing their exceptional skills.
D. People are likely to ignore hard work and dedication in achieving success.
.
55 What is the main theme of the passage?
A. Luck and talent alone bring success.
B. A privileged background matters most.
C. Hard work and passion lead to success.
D. Success happens by chance at the right moment.

Colin Moore, a 16-year-old football player, may not leap to the top of the headlines, but his story is as inspiring as
any sports tale. On the field, Colin plays just as hard as the other players, and you can’t tell the difference because ofhis arm. However, what sets him apart is his remarkable ability to compete without a complete right arm. Born without
the lower part of his right arm, Colin has never let his physical difference stand in the way of his dreams or his love
for football. His personal motto, “mind of steel, heart of gold,” shows his strong determination to move forward no
matter what challenges he faces.
The challenges Colin faces are unique, but he uses them to push himself even harder. He has always been
committed to working twice as hard as anyone else to ensure his success. His goal to become a starting center, a
position that requires a lot of strength, shows how strong and determined he is. Even though he is missing an arm, he
makes up for it with his fast movements and strength, making him the perfect choice for this position.
Colin’s hard work paid off when he achieved his dream of becoming the starting center for his high school team.
During the championship game, Colin’s team found themselves behind by two touchdowns (触地得分) in the second
half. The atmosphere was tense, and doubts started to appear. But it was Colin’s strong spirit that helped turn things
around. With great determination, he encouraged his teammates, reminding them of their training and how important
it was to work together.
Using his quick movements and skills, Colin made impressive plays, weaving through defenders and delivering
accurate passes. His leadership inspired the entire team. In a critical moment, he made a bold move that not only
scored a touchdown but also energized his teammates. They fought back with renewed strength, ultimately defeating
their opponents and winning the championship title. The victory was a result of hard work, determination, and Colin’s
strong spirit.
Colin’s coach, Frank Holmes, commends Colin’s perseverance. “Colin was born with challenges, but every day
he maintains a positive attitude and focuses fully on his training,” says Holmes. “His hard work is the evidence to his
character.”
