When Ben Edlavitch was in elementary school，his grandfather，David Levine，got him his
first Lego set.Growing up in Richmond， Edlavitch enjoyed plenty of quality time with his
grandfather.From Edlavitch's young age，the two shared countless hours tending to Levine's 1926
Ford Model A，which developed in them a working rapport(融洽) that served them well when
they participated as contestants on the fourth season of Lego Masters，a reality competition show
on Fox，in the fall of 2023.
Edlavitch and Levine were among 12 teams chosen from over 2，000 applicants to appear on
the show，hosted by Lego Batman himself，Will Arnett.Over the course of the show，the teams
were tasked with creating original builds for a chance to win $100，000 and the title of Lego
Master.To prepare for it，Edlavitch says，“We spent a lot of time together figuring out Lego
techniques...We studied past seasons to see what the judges liked and responded to.”
For Edlavitch，21，a student at the University of Virginia studying community－focused
architecture，Lego bricks build a lifetime of “play”，an essential aspect of his approach to
architecture.“Lego teaches you a world perspective(视角)，which is that you can take anything
apart and put it back together again in a way that makes it better，” he says，“and that，I think，
is what got me into architecture.”
Aside from his builds on Lego Masters，Edlavitch has created a 433－brick model of the
Richmond skyline and a Richmond city block.Moreover， Edlavitch says he will offer kids'
workshops that combine Lego and architecture in an approachable way，introducing the field to a
8new generation through “play”．
According to Edlavitch，most people don't think about architecture very seriously as a career
until later high school or college，at which point a lot of these kind of old－fashioned programs
are considered too late to get started，and this leads to a less diverse and less creative field.He
hopes，through his builds and workshops，to model a different approach.
24．How was Edlavitch and his grandfather's perfor－mance at the show?
A．Unsatisfying. B．Unexpected. C．Excellent. D．Worrying.
25．What did Edlavitch and his grandfather do for the show?
A．They arranged three seasons. B．They consulted Lego Batman.C．They interviewed the judges. D．They studied Lego techniques.
26．What does Edlavitch think of “play”？
A．It is important for learning architecture. B．It takes up much of his study time.
C．It fails to open opportunities for creation. D．It is meaningless for a new generation.
27．Why does Edlavitch decide to provide workshops for kids?
A．To offer chances for them to recognize Lego.
B．To develop their interest in architecture.
C．To encourage them to be more serious.
D．To show his talent in building Lego.

The world's oceans, lakes and rivers are under increasing pressure from climate change,
growing demand, urbanization, and pollution, threatening their ability to sustain life.
“Without better data to understand the health of increasingly stressed waterways, the fight
to save these most precious resources will be ineffective，” said the co－founder of a technology
company.“Virtually every waterway is polluted to an extent where the ecosystem just can't
balance back anymore，” he explains.
The company is aiming to fill that information gap using fishlike robots that collect data from
underwater environments.Powered by batteries, they are designed to look and swim like fish.The
standard version is about 1.3 meters long and weighs 30 kilograms and can be equipped with
cameras and sensors to measure oxygen, salinity (盐度) and PH levels.
The founder was motivated to build the robots after his eight－year－old daughter learned
about the ocean crisis and asked him to help protect the seas.He says it's important that the robots
can integrate into natural habitats—swimming among other creatures without disturbing them and
moving around obstacles smoothly.
The company has put its technology to use in different regions.It has operated in both fresh
and saltwater, near dams, and in harbors and fish farms, checking things like water quality and
fish health and collecting data wherever they go.The CEO of the company said its technology
could be used in the region for water management, sustainable aquaculture (水产养殖) operations,
and monitoring the health of corals.
Still, the company has some blocks to clear before its fishlike robots will be seen cruising (游
弋) through the world's waterways.“We need capital to commercialize，” said the CEO, “but
there are very few people who are willing to actually support those that are doing frontier
technologies in the waterways.”The founder hopes more funding will follow.He said,“Investors
should absolutely wake up.”
28．What is the purpose of the first two paragraphs?
A．To introduce the topic of the text.
B．To state the importance of the text.
C．To explain the urgency of water resources.
D．To weaken the seriousness of water pollution.
29．Which is one of the advantages of the robots?
A．They can imitate other fishes. B．They can easily catch children's eyes.
C．They work efficiently under the water. D．They can swim without being recharged.
30．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A．The launch of a new program. B．The application of the technology.C．Management of the company. D．Development of the company.
31．What problem does the company face currently?
A．How to make people focus on technology.
B．How to keep investors positive.
C．How to produce more robots.
D．How to collect more money.
D
Is comprehension the same whether a person reads a text onscreen or on paper? And are
listening to and viewing content as effective as reading the written word when covering the same
material? The answers to both questions are often “no”．The reasons relate to a variety of factors,
including reduced concentration, an entertainment mindset (心态) and a tendency to multitask
while consuming digital content.
When reading texts of several hundred words or more, learning is generally more successful
when it's on paper than onscreen.A large amount of research confirms this finding.The benefits of
print reading particularly shine_through when experimenters move from posing simple tasks—like
identifying the main idea in a reading passage—to ones that require mental abstraction—such as
drawing inferences from a text.
The differences between print and digital reading results are partly related to paper's physical
properties.With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of
distinct pages.People often link their memory of what they've read to how far into the book it was
or where it was on the page.
But equally important is the mental aspect.Reading researchers have proposed a theory called
“shallowing hypothesis (假说)”．According to this theory, people approach digital texts with a
mindset suited to social media, which are often not so serious, and devote less mental effort than
when they are reading print.
Audio (音 频 ) and video can feel more engaging than text, and so university teachers
increasingly turn to these technologies—say, assigning an online talk instead of an article by the
same person.However, psychologists have demonstrated that when adults read news stories, they
remember more of the content than if they listen to or view identical pieces.
Digital texts, audio and video all have educational roles, especially when providing resources
not available in print.However, for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are
called for, educators shouldn't assume all media are the same, even when they contain identical
words.
32．What does the underlined phrase “shine through” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Seem unlikely to last. B．Seem hard to explain.
C．Become ready to use. D．Become easy to notice.
33．What does the shallowing hypothesis assume?
A．Readers treat digital texts lightly.
B．Digital texts are simpler to understand.
C.People select digital texts randomly.
D．Digital texts are suitable for social media.
34．Why are audio and video increasingly used by university teachers?
A．They can hold students' attention.
B．They are more convenient to prepare.C．They help develop advanced skills.
D．They are more informative than text.
35．What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A．Students should apply multiple learning techniques.
B．Teachers should produce their own teaching material.
C．Print texts cannot be entirely replaced in education.
D．Education outside the classroom cannot be ignored.

Shavi, a homeless dog, suffered a terrifying moment on the deserted streets of south－west
Russia during a bitter winter.After being struck by a car, with two broken legs, her pain echoed
(回响) silently in the icy air.Fortunately, a warm－hearted vet (兽医) happened upon the scene,

efforts and treatment, Shavi's broken bones began to heal.After launching an appeal to find

they formed a beautiful partnership, united by love and the shared happiness of companionship.
Nina's life took an unexpected turn when she got a new job that made her move to another
