Winning a remarkable science award is really a big deal, especially if you are 12 years old. But
Shanya Gill, a middle schooler from San Jose, California, won the top award in the Thermo Fisher
Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge for designing a fire detection system that is superior to
existing ones, as stated in the press release.
“The top winners have exhibited boundless curiosity,” Maya Ajmera, president and CEO of
Society for Science, said in the press release. Their remarkable research not only reflects their talent
but also paves the way for an exciting new future.
Shanya’s inspiration came after a fire destroyed a restaurant in her neighborhood during the
summer of 2022, reported The Washington Post. “I had never really experienced something like that
before”, she told The Washington Post about the early morning fire at Holder’s Country Inn, which
started in the kitchen. “They had smoke detectors, and yet it still burned down, ” she added.
After she studied fire statistics, Shanya spent over a year developing a fire detection system that
she believes could have prevented the fire. Unlike traditional smoke detectors that sense active fires
from the smoke in the air, Shanya’s thermal (热的) imaging device is designed to stop fires fromoccurring.
With a thermal camera and a Raspberry Pi, a tiny computer, the device detects when a heat
source has been left unattended for ten minutes and sends a text message warning. Creating the
prototype (原型) was difficult and the hardest part was the programming. I had two designs, and my
first design completely failed. “ It was a really big challenge I had to go through, ” she said. The final
device outperforms smoke detectors in speed and accuracy. Shanya wants to bring the costs down to
make it even more common than previous smoke detectors.
“Shanya saw a problem, went after it and tried to solve it, and that’s what we need to encourage
with all young people, ” said Ajmera. She also highlighted the significance of supporting individuals,
especially girls and kids of color, in STEM fields, as research indicates that many young people drop
out of these areas.
24. What can we learn about Shanya from paragraph 2?
A. She created an important platform for her peers.
B. She demonstrated her curious nature as a student.
C. She earned a large amount of money from the award.
D. She was younger than the other winners in performance.
25. What inspired Shanya to develop her fire detection system?
A. Her experience with a destructive fire. B. Her ambition to win the science award.
C. Her interest in computer programming. D. Her aim to enhance STEM education for girls.
26. What is an advantage of Shanya’s invention?
A. It can issue a warning about a potential fire.
B. It consists of two parts that are easier to manage.
C. It can detect active fires through smoke in the air.
D. It operates when a fire breaks out within ten minutes.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Shanya Gill’s？
A. Intelligent and resourceful. B. Passionate and sympathetic.
C. Curious and innovative. D. Knowledgeable and studious.
C
We’ve all experienced the sudden urge to check our phone, and a new study from Duke
University might explain why. The research suggests that this isn’t just a bad habit, but rather that
our smartphones might be reshaping our brain’s reward system, making us seek information in a way
similar to how we seek food or money.
The study involved people playing a simple game where they had to choose between differentsymbols that offered certain chances of receiving a reward. The rewards were either money, the
opportunity to learn a random piece of information (like a fun fact), or nothing. Meanwhile, the
participants’ brain activity was monitored using FMRI scans.
The results were striking. The researchers found that the brain’s dopamine-rich reward centers,
particularly the vmPFC (前额叶皮层), became active when participants were expecting both
monetary rewards and informational rewards. This suggests that our brains process the opportunity
to gain new information as a valuable reward itself. The desire for information followed a classic
“law of demand” — the more expensive (in terms of effort or cost) it was to get information, the
less people sought it, just like any other product.
“This finding helps explain the ‘checking’ behavior we see with smartphones,” said the study’s
lead author. “Each time we slide down to refresh our news feed or check updates, we are
essentially seeking a small piece of new information. Our brain perceives this information as having
potential value, releasing dopamine (多巴胺) that makes the action feel rewarding, even if the
information itself is unimportant.”
The researchers believe this insight is crucial for understanding modern behaviors. It indicates
that the appeal of digital platforms is not merely about social connection but taps into a fundamental
biological mechanism. However, they also warn that this cycle, if left unchecked, could contribute to
problematic internet use, as the brain gets caught in a continuous circle of seeking minor
informational rewards.
28. How does the author introduce his topic?
A. By presenting a personal experience.
B. By describing a common daily behavior.
C. By quoting a famous philosopher’s saying.
D. By comparing ancient and modern human behaviors.
29. The author mentions the “FMRI scans” in Paragraph 2 mainly to ________.
A. emphasize the high cost of the scientific research
B. describe the physical experience of the participants
C. provide objective evidence for the study’s conclusions
D. explain the complex technology used in modern psychology
30. What does the “law of demand” in Paragraph 3 indicate ?
A. The harder it is to get information, the less people want it.
B. People always want more information regardless of the cost.
C. The value of information decreases as it becomes easier to get.D. Information is the most valuable product in the modern world.
31. What is the potential risk of the brain’s reward system for information?
A. It could slow down our thinking process.
B. It might end up with too much screen time.
C. It can damage our brain’s fundamental structure.
D. It will prevent us from learning essential knowledge.

Honey is a sweet treat that most people take for granted. But it is more than just a topping for
cakes or a sweetener for tea. It’s a miracle of sorts.
Honey is the only food product made by an insect that humans eat. Even with all our technical
abilities, no one has figured out how to make artificial honey. There’s really no replacement.
A single pound of honey may require a beehive of up to 60,000 bees to visit two million flowers.
No wonder some people call it liquid gold! Although amber-colored clover honey tends to be most
common, honey comes in a variety of shades and flavors, depending on the flowers that the bees
gather nectar (花蜜) from.
Honey has been used throughout history in a number of ways. One of the most remarkable
things about it is that it never goes bad. It may crystallize, meaning that it becomes solid in parts, but
simply warming it slightly will melt the crystals and return the honey to its liquid form.
No one knows exactly how long honey has been used by humans, but Spanish cave paintings
dated at 7,000 BC show early evidence of beekeeping. Honey was also used by the ancient
Egyptians as a sweetener, as a gift to the gods, and even as an element used to create mummies (木
乃伊). Honey has been found inside the Egyptian pyramids, and although that honey was more than
3,000 years old, it would still taste like honey and be safe to eat. No other food has such lasting
power!
Besides its many uses as a sweetener, honey has long been used as a medicinal treatment.
Because it’s difficult for any kind of bacteria to survive in honey, it makes a perfect barrier on cuts
and can prevent infection. Honey is also an effective remedy to relieve a painful throat. It has even
been found to be as effective in easing coughs in children.
The next time a bee flies through your garden or you spread some honey on a piece of toast,
think about the miracle of honey.
32. According to the passage, what makes honey unique among the foods that humans eat?
A. Its various shades. B. Its natural creation.
C. Its delightful sweetness. D. Its remarkable history.33. Why does the author mention the honey in the Egyptian pyramids?
A. To illustrate that it never goes bad. B. To show the cleverness of Egyptians.
C. To compare it with the honey in Spain. D. To inform that it originates from Egypt.
34. What is one of the medicinal uses of honey?
A. Resisting common colds. B. Curing throat pain.
C. Preventing infection in wounds. D. Promoting bacterial growth.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Honey: a Timeless Treasure B. Honey: a Sweet Miracle of Nature
C. Honey: a Common Sweetener D. Honey: a Natural Medicinal Treatment

When I was a child, my mother battled with me over learning the art of conversation and how to
chat to grown ups. As a shy person, making small talk can feel unnecessary and forced. 36
First impressions really do count. People make judgments based on your appearance and how you
present yourself in the first few seconds of meeting. Simply smiling at a person can tell them that
you’re trustworthy and easy-going. Even if you’re stressed about work or your boiler has exploded,
your body language matters.
37 Smile and dress appropriately. Smile is like a warm welcome mat for your face —
signaling applicability and friendliness — making all the difference in how people treat you. 3 8
Think about what you’re going to wear so you’re not stressed over choosing an outfit on that day.
Select clothes that make you feel empowered and confident. Remember, confidence starts with
feeling good in your own skin, and the right outfit can be helpful in that journey.
Mirror the other person’s body language. If you’re struggling to connect with a person and have
different views, mirroring their behavior can help you. 39 Whether you like what they’re
saying or not, it doesn’t matter that much.
Be swan-like. Think of yourself as a swan on a pond. You can sail calmly, but secretly be
working hard, kicking your legs at full speed beneath the water. 40 You can shake out your
tension later with a dance or a bath.
A.Then, how to create the right impression?
B. If you’re going to a social event, preparation is key.
C. Body language makes a difference in any social contexts.
D. It’s like becoming an automatic printer of their behaviors.E. It’s an effective way to bond and make them feel understood.
F. Despite my resistance, I can see mum gave me a useful life skill.
G. Keep your stress in check, hold your head high and move proudly.

Yuan Longping, known as the “father of hybrid rice”, is one of China’s most famous scientists.
When he was young, 6 2 concerned him most was that farmers often had poor harvests and
sometimes even had a serious food shortage. After graduating in 1953, he worked as a researcher to
pursue the creation of hybrid rice. One characteristic of hybrids is that they usually attain a

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Tom Young was on his way home from a hard day’s work at a construction site, carrying his
worn-out hammer (锤子) which had gone through thick and thin with him. With each step, his
mind was filled with worry as he racked his brain to find money for his seriously ill son, Andrew,
who was in great need of heart surgery.
Tom had run out of choices and time. Desperation was beginning to set in, but he refused to let
his son suffer helplessly. As he walked, the weight of his troubles pressed heavily on his shoulders.
So desperate was he that he even heard a hum in his ears. The next moment the hum was entirely
covered by a loud sound.
He turned in shock, and what he saw took his breath away. An expensive luxury car was
wrapped around a big tree on the other side of the street, with its front twisted (变形) and flames
starting to spring up from the car.Without a second thought, he ran to the flaming car. He noticed that although the young lady in
the driver’s seat did not seem to have been severely injured — apparently because of the open
airbag — she was unconscious. Tom saw that the flames began to grow increasingly intense. He
realized that he had to get the girl out of the car immediately because there was a high risk of the
vehicle exploding at any time.
He grabbed the handle and pulled it, but the door was bent and did not open. He used all his
strength and tried again, but in vain. It was a sports car, so it had only two doors, and the other one
was blocked by the tree. He decided that he had to break the glass to take her out as quickly as
possible. He struck it forcefully with his fist but realized that there was no way he could break the
thick glass with bare hands, and the flames were getting bigger.
注意：(1) 续写词数应为150左右；
(2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Time was running out, and his mind raced madly.
The girl was sad to know Tom’s trouble from the local news.
