Ever since my daughter Gabi was just a young child, she has been curious about the world around her, always
ready to ask “why” and “how” questions. I thought it could be fun to talk to my daughter about female scientists. I
discovered there was a scientist, Ada Lovelace. She had a love for mathematics and a belief that computers can be
第 4页/共 12页used to finish many tasks humans do. I told Gabi about Lovelace's contributions to the field and the impact she had
on me as a scientist and mathematician.
Today, computers are such an essential part of our daily lives; we can’t imagine living without them. The idea
that computers can go beyond just calculating numbers and perform any abstract operation is the phenomenon of
our technology. However, not everyone knows that this idea dates back to long before the first programmable,
general-purpose digital computer was introduced in the 1940s. This concept goes back to the 1800s, thanks to
Loveluce, a pioneer in mathematics and computing, who was recognized as the first computer programmer.
Lovelace also held her belief that while computers had endless potential, they could not be truly intelligent.
She argued that AI can’t create anything original without learning from human input. This is still true today as AI
becomes increasingly common in our everyday lives. While ChatGPT and similar AI tools may seem to have a
“mind” of their own, those tools are simply parroting human-generated content on the internet.
Lovelace was an incredibly intelligent woman, who contributed so much to mathematics and computer science.
Her enthusiasm and determination led her to look further and search deeper. I hope Loyelace will inspire my
daughter and other young girls to consider following in her footsteps.
4. What can be learned about Gabi?
A. She has great admiration for Lovelace. B. She has a dream of becoming a scientist.
C. She shows strong curiosity about the world. D. She believes computers are as smart as humans.
5. What does the author stress in paragraph 2?
A. The invention of computers. B. Lovelace’s contribution to science.
C. The development of technology. D. Lovelace’s education background.
6. What does the underlined word “parroting” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Repeating. B. Creating. C. Appreciating. D. Imagining.
7. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To show her interest in science. B. To explain the significance of computers.
C. To provide an example for girls to follow. D. To demonstrate the disadvantage of computers.

In rural Pakistan, a new project, called Improving Access to Sustainable Energy in Rural Pakistan Using Food
and Fiber Agro-Waste as a Renewable Fuel (SAFER), aims to turn banana waste into a reliable source of electricity
for off-grid (远离电网的) communities.
Every year, Pakistan generates 80 million metric tons of agricultural waste from growing bananas. Academics
第 5页/共 12页from Northumbria University, in partnership with UK and Pakistani organizations, have developed an innovative
two-part system that will make use of this waste product and provide benefits for local people at the same time. The
first part will use new technology to turn the banana waste into textile fibers (纺织纤维), and the second part takes
the waste generated from that process and uses it to produce renewable (可再生的) energy.
This will not only reduce the environmental impact of Pakistan’s textile industry but also bring cleaner
electricity to the 50% of people living in rural areas of the country who currently rely on fossil (化石) fuels for
energy. The process has the potential to be applied to almost any form of agricultural waste, benefiting
communities and the environment worldwide through the supply of renewable textiles and energy.
Dr. Jibran Khaliq, of Northumbria University, is a material scientist who researches turning waste energy.
“Pakistan’s textile department is responsible for significant environmental impacts, including greenhouse gas
emissions (排放), and microplastics,” said Dr. Khaliq in a statement.
He revealed that his partners have developed a technology to turn banana waste into textile fibers, but the lack
of electricity in rural Sindh, where the majority of the bananas are grown, has prevented this innovation from being
scaled-up until now.
“Over the next year we will be working to develop a new waste-to-energy technology. The technology will
benefit the textile industry and local communities, improving soil fertility (肥沃) and food production through the
generation of biofertilizers (生物肥料),” he added.
8. What is SAFER intended to do?
A. To reduce textile waste. B. To promote banana planting.
C. To increase agricultural production. D. To generate electricity from banana waste.
9. How does the author present the two-part system in detail?
A. By giving a definition. B. By giving an example.
C. By making a comparison. D. By making an explanation. .
10. What has prevented the wide application of the technology in rural Sindh?
A. Lack of labor force. B. Electricity shortage.
C. Insufficient funding. D. High cost of the technology.
11. What is a potential benefit of the new waste-to-energy technology?
A. Developing agriculture. B. Decreasing soil fertility.
C. Increasing use of fossil fuel. D. Promoting the sale of textile.

Glaciers (冰川) are enormous masses of ice created by snow that has become packed over many years. Hidden
inside some of them are dramatic and beautiful caves called glacier caves (洞), which are made entirely of ice.
How do they form? Ice caves, usually lying within or beneath glaciers, are formed by the meltwater of the
glacier that flows through the ice during periods of rainfall or during the warmer months when the glacier ice is
melting (融化). Where the melted water flows through cracks (裂缝) in the ice, the cracks get bigger and bigger
over time. Eventually, a glacier cave is formed.
Glacier caves are valuable to glaciologists, scientists who study glaciers. Usually, glaciologists can study the
surface of a glacier, but these caves let them see the underside and inside. Studying a glacier from the inside helps
scientists learn about the way a glacier moves and slides.
As the climate changes, glaciers are melting quickly, leading to rising sea levels. Glacier caves are changing
quickly too. From one visit to the next, people might find that some rooms in a cave have disappeared while others
have formed. Ice may have thickened or thinned as more air enters through places where the ice has melted through.
Because of this, the volume has to be re-mapped every few weeks. “It’s very different from a rock cave, which
never changes,” said Cartaya, a 46-year-old Forest Service worker and EMT in Bend, Oregon. “Once you survey a
rock cave, it’s done. With these, every week it’s changing.”
Glaciologists and other scientists measure these changes. The information can help them figure out what is
happening with our sea levels and our planet. In recent years, data collected from the cave system has unlocked an
important clue in tracking glacial loss. They hope to provide critical new information for understanding the impact
of glacial loss on water resources and global sea level rise.
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The effects of glacier caves. B. The changes of glacier caves.
C. The formation of glacier caves. D. The definition of glacier caves.
13. Why does the author mention Cartaya’s words in paragraph 4?
A. To prove a point. B. To introduce a topic.
C. To draw a conclusion. D. To attract readers’ interest.
14. What can we learn from the text?
A. Glacier caves change slowly.
B. Glacier caves are made partly of ice.
C. Meltwater flows through the ice cracks in colder weather.
第 7页/共 12页D. Glacier caves help figure out how glaciers move and slide.
15. What do scientists think of the current research?
A Satisfying. B. Disappointing. C. Shocking. D. Confusing.

Lynn sighed as she tried to remove the dirt on her brand-new California Vibes T-shirt. Her annoying sister
April, had completely ruined (毁坏) her nice Saturday morning.
Couldn’t a super-busy teenage girl get some rest from a continuously-working week? OK, maybe Lynn had
pushed April onto the table, spilling juice everywhere onto the floor, and maybe her mom had blamed April for
what happened and didn’t give April time to explain. Being unfairly treated, April was in a stormy mood. To pay
her back, she “accidentally” spilled a bowl of jelly (果冻) onto Lynn, ruining Lynn’s new T-shirt. And just last
week, April had secretly poured sticky glue on Lynn’s seat in class. Lynn couldn’t have been happier to see her
sister suffer.
This chain of payback and tricks had been going on forever between the two girls ever since there had been
too much stress (endless homework, mountainous tests, and many more) in eighth grade.
One day, as Lynn thought about all this, she couldn’t help feeling a bit sad, remembering the joyous days
when the two girls were small, they challenged themselves to climb a pretty steep and high rock at the back of their
house inside a small wood. And when they struggled to get to the top together, they would have “conquered the
world”. They felt they were at the top of the world. What a happy memory!
She sighed again and gave up trying to rub the jelly on her shirt. Perhaps... it was time to stop having a world
war with her sister.
So, Lynn changed into a new shirt, took a deep breath and knocked on her sister’s door.
April opened the door hesitantly and Lynn entered the room quickly. April looked confused for a second
wondering why her sister was here. Somehow, she seemed to sense her sister wanted to do something about their
displeasure.
