Trying a New Way to Express
Elizabeth is a 14-year-old girl. She is in the seventh grade at Davis Drive Middle School in Cary, N. C. Students at
school are required to do different science projects, such as building a model volcano. They get inspired from playing
musical instruments to doing gymnastics. All they need to do is to transform their favorite activities into science
projects.
Elizabeth enjoys doing science projects. She has designed a program based on the golden ratio (黄金分割) by
herself. This ratio is often used to create pleasing parts in artworks. The ratio also appears in nature. Elizabeth’s new
program helps computers write data evenly across the storing system. This could help it live longer.
“As long as I can remember, I’ve been an artistic person, “Elizabeth says, “In the fourth grade, my art teacher
taught us about the golden ratio. And at that point it was just, you know, something to use when we were painting.”
But last year, Elizabeth had to replace the memory in her own computer, thinking the golden ratio might work in
technology, too. Elizabeth tested her golden-ratio technique (技法) by running programs on a computer.
But before this project, Elizabeth had no coding (编码) experience. To prepare for it, she spent months reading
a textbook on how to code. She says, “It wasn’t like an ‘ah-ha’ moment. Writing program is such a boring process.
第4页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司But it was just cool to explore and see the computer actually just doing the things that I told it to do after those
hours.”
“Don’t limit yourself,” Elizabeth adds, “One of the biggest difficulties you face is changing your mindset (思
维定式). I never thought that science or computer science would be my kind of thing, but after learning a bit about
programming, I found that it was actually a new way to express myself. In the past I used words, then I tried painting,
and now I’m using programming. “
24. According to the passage, Elizabeth’s new program is good for________.
.
A the science courses B. the musical instruments
.
C the understanding of artwork D. the storing system
25. Before this project, Elizabeth made efforts to________.
A. draw pictures on computer screen B. learn how to code from a textbook
C. express herself in different ways D. practise gymnastics in the gym
26. After Elizabeth programmed, she expected to examine________.
A. the development of the science projects at her school
B. the advantages of using digital technology for painting
C. the relationship between science and computer science
D. the effects of the golden ratio working on her computer

Biodiversity refers to various kinds of living things on our planet. It includes not only the different species of
animals and plants, but also the genetic diversity(多样性) within each species and the diversity of ecosystem in which
they live. Biodiversity is necessary for all living things, including humans. However, it is dangerous because of
human activities such as deforestation(毁林), pollution, and climate change.
One of the main reasons why biodiversity is important is that it provides us with many necessary ecosystem
services. For example, forests help to control the Earth’s climate by absorbing carbon dioxide (CO ) from the air.
2
Wetlands help to separate out pollutants from water and offer living space for many kinds of birds and animals. Coral
reefs protect coastlines from storms and provide home for thousands of living things in the ocean.
Biodiversity also plays a key role in providing us with food ,medicine, and other resources(资源). For example,
many of the fruits and vegetables that we eat are from wild plants. Many of the medicines that we use to treat diseases
come from plant and animal resources. And many of the materials that we use to build our homes and make our
clothes come from natural resources.
However, besides its importance, biodiversity is under threat. According to the World Wildlife Fund, we are
now in the process of the sixth mass extinction(灭绝) event in Earth’s history. This extinction event is largely caused
第5页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司by human activities such as habitat destruction, pollution, and overfishing.
Protecting biodiversity is therefore completely necessary if we want to make sure that all living things can
survive continually, including ourselves. This can be achieved through a combination of measures, including protection
of natural environment, continuous use of natural resources, and reducing our carbon footprint(碳排放量).
In conclusion, biodiversity is important for the survival and well-being of all living things, including humans. It
is important that we must take actions to protect it for ourselves and for our future generations.
27. We can know from the passage that________.
A. humans provide necessary ecosystem services for biodiversity
B. biodiversity includes all kinds of living things except humans
C. humans make great influence on the biodiversity on the earth
D. the development of biodiversity relates to the climate change
28. The phrase “under threat” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________.”
A. in danger B. out of date C. under control D. on balance
29. What’s the passage mainly talking about?
A. It suggests us how we can take the advantage of biodiversity.
B. It encourages us to try to control biodiversity’s development.
C. It tells us why we should take actions to protect biodiversity.
D. It talks about the importance of improving our environment.

Nowadays our life is getting more and more demanding. It seems that multitasking can help us get out of the
trouble. It was first used to describe computer performance. However, the human brain, is not a computer. And
human attention is a very limited resource. Can we actually multitask?
,
According to the spotlight theory of attention when we focus on the leftmost or rightmost things, our
attention must cover the intervening region(间隔区) because the spotlight of attention cannot be divided. Even
though we’re constantly receiving a huge amount of information from our senses, it’s only possible for a small
amount to make it through to conscious awareness(意识). Take the Bouncing Ball Experiment for an example.
Let’s watch carefully and pay particular attention to how many balls bounce(弹跳) in the circle. How many balls
can you count? Seven, right? But did you also notice that little dinosaur? What about the changing shape of the
circle? Or the smiley face on one of the balls? This experiment shows just how powerful our focused attention is.
Being able to delete irrelevant(无关的) detail is an amazingly useful tool, but it means we might miss things
that are right under our noses. This is the effect known as inattention blindness. You can see this very clearly in
the famous Invisible Gorilla experiment. When asked to concentrate exclusively on how often basketball players in
第6页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司white pass the ball, most people completely miss the gorilla walking across the screen and beating his chest.
We just don’t have the ability to process everything at a time. This is a particular problem when we try to
multitask. We can change attention from one task to another and back again. But when attention is overloaded, we
miss things, and the result is nearly always that we perform tasks less well than we will do them one at a time. It’s
only truly possible to do two things at once if they require different sets of mental(头脑的) resources. For example,
it’s totally possible to read a book and listen to music at the same time.
This would suggest that driving while talking on the phone is not a problem, as long as it’s a hands-free phone.
But it’s not that simple. Research has shown that while talking on the phone we have tendency(趋势) to create
mental images, and this uses the same visual resources needed for driving. And if visual resources become too
spread, it’s possible for a driver to look directly at a danger but, just like with that little dinosaur, fail to see it.
So multitasking makes us at best, inefficient, and at worst, downright dangerous. If you’re feeling like you
should be doing 17 things at once, remember, that’s just not the way your brain works.
30. The spotlight theory of attention in Paragraph 2 shows that ________.
A. only a small amount of information can be noticed by us
B. our attention is good at receiving information unlimitedly
C. the spotlight attention can be divided into several regions
D. it’s important to improve our powerful focused attention
31. According to the passage, “inattention blindness” might happen when ________.
.
A each of the tasks is completed as the way the brain works
B. several tasks are repeated in a regular cycle one by one
.
C mental resources are used to finish the tasks separately
D. mental attention resources are overloaded or too spread
32. What can we learn from the passage?
A. We should learn to recognize different information from multitask.
B. Multitasking can help us improve the efficiency of our daily work.
C. We have to carry out special training for higher quality of multitask.
D. Our brains are hardly able to deal with multitask at the same time.
33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To tell the advantages of changing tasks from one to another.
B. To remind us to take notice of the bad results of multitasking.
C. To teach us how to multitask to lower the stress in daily lives.
D. To show some successful experience of developing multitask.

Meeting the Needs of Elderly People
Smart phones are a part of our everyday life now, but not everyone can use them well, especially for the elderly
people. Seeing this problem, George, a 16-year-old middle school student, with other volunteers came into the
communities to help elderly people learn to use smart phones. But for all their goodwill, the service had some
flaws(缺陷). It took much time and effort, and more importantly, elderly people always forgot what they’d learned
and the volunteers had to do the same job over and over again.
George noticed the problems and came up with an idea of solving them with a guidebook. He then formed a
volunteer group called Silver Hair with seven members. It took them about a month to finish writing a book called May I
Show You How to Use Smart Phones.
The group members made a survey of more than 1, 000 elderly people and talked with many of them in nursing
homes and found out what the elderly people cared most about with smart phones. “How to use WeChat” topped the
list as the app covers many fields of life such as chatting, money transfers(转帐)and even ordering food in a restaurant.
These made up one part of the book. The other parts include the basic jobs of phones, online shopping, using online
maps and so on. To make the book more friendly to older readers, George also made the pages light yellow and the
characters big.
“Many elderly people are resistant(抗拒的) to smart phones at first as they are confused by so many different
apps with various functions, but they are familiar with books, which can make them more willing to learn,” said
George.” And besides, they can look for the tips in the book any time they need, just like using a dictionary.”
The Silver Hair members have already printed out 500 copies of the book and handed them all out to the
communities. They’ll soon start working on the second copy which includes more guidance such as hospital
registration(挂号) and photo editing. They also hope for the support from the public so they can print more copies
and help more elderly people.
34. Where did the elderly people learn to use smart phones?
__________________________________________________
35. How long did the group of Silver Hair spend on the guidebook?

36. Which part did the elderly people like to read most in the guidebook?
