Mekhi Johnson sat with his mother at a restaurant. It was 7 pm on 28 March — time for Ivy League schools to
release their admissions decisions.
Johnson pulled out his iPhone and quickly started checking his status at each of the eight elite(精英的) schools
that he applied to. He started with Yale — he was in. Next, Columbia and Cornell. Those schools accepted him, too.
Then, he checked Harvard's decision.
“As soon as I saw I got into Harvard, my mom started screaming，” said the 17-year-old Baltimore student.
“She started yelling, ‘My son just got into Harvard，’ and everyone in the restaurant started applauding.”
Johnson, a senior at the Gilman School, is one of just a handful of students in the country to be accepted into
all eight Ivy League schools.
“I didn't have words then, and I don't have words now，” he said. “I just felt extraordinary.”
When Johnson was 6 years old, he heard a story on the radio about a student who gained acceptance into all
the Ivy League institutions. His mother, Tawana Thomas Johnson, said her son turned to her and said，“I want to
do that.”
“Even at six, he was pretty serious，” she said. “He kept this goal in front of him through all those years. It's
a wonderful thing and is certainly a testament (证明) to what you can do when you set your mind to it.”
The chances of getting into any one of the Ivy League schools are slim: Less than 5 percent of applicants got
into Harvard this year, for example.
Thomas Johnson said her son is modest, and he hasn't even posted about his accomplishment on Facebook.
But plenty of his friends are celebrating his achievements, rushing to give him high-fives upon hearing the news.

(2022·南京市第二次模拟)As the new year approaches, crowds around the world may be expecting whizzes
and bangs to light up the sky. The appeal of fireworks could fizzle_out with the growing use of drones (无人机)
for light shows, though.
Ollie Howitt, the creative coordinator at SkyMagic, which used a team of 300 drones to create a display for
London's new year celebration, said demand had increased substantially. “We do think it's going to be
something that's ever catching on, as opposed to it being a short-lived sort of fashion people have suddenly got
interested in. Drones are reusable and there's no fallout. In that sense they're a very good, sustainable option，”
she said.
But not everyone agrees. A spokesperson from the British Fireworks Association said drones could also pose
environmental problems. “Suggestions are that drones have a smaller impact on the environment, but we have
serious concerns about electrical demand and the use of lithium batteries which are known not to be all that
‘green’，” they said.
An RSPCA spokesperson said that while drones were a possible idea to try to reduce the impact of displays on
animals, there were shortcomings. “Drones are not without their own negative issues such as scaring horses or
crashing into birds, and can cause disturbance to animals and members of the public. It's therefore important for
their effects to be fully considered and measures taken to minimize the chance of accidents，” they said.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司Some express the opinion that the use of fireworks and drones don't exclude each other.
The sight, sound and smell of fireworks will always provide its own unique thrill.
“We find fireworks work really well when teamed with drones. But we don't really see it as a replacement at
all. We feel as if it's just another tool in the chest for how you enliven the sky and what you want to do with the
show you're putting on，” said Howitt, noting that while fireworks give a loud, emotive, big performance, drones
offer the chance to tell stories in the sky by using a series of images.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了将无人机用于灯光表演的优点、可能给环境带来的影响以
及人们对无人机灯光表演的态度。
8．What does the underlined phrase “fizzle out” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Catch on. B．Wind up.
C．Create an impact. D．Make a comeback.
解析：B 词义猜测题。结合常识和第一段中的 fireworks和the growing use of drones可知，烟花表演
与无人机灯光表演都属于点亮夜空的表演秀，因此，当无人机越来越多地被用于灯光表演，烟花表演就减
少或被替代。由此推知，fizzle out与wind up意思相近，意为“结束”。
9．What does Howitt think about a drone display in Paragraph 2?
A．It's definitely an upward trend.
B．It'll get us to reflect on energy crisis.
C．It's nothing but a temporary phenomenon.
D．It'll excite the public curiosity about science.
解析：A 推理判断题。根据第二段中Howitt的话可知，我们确实认为它将会成为一种流行趋势，而
不是人们突然间对其产生兴趣的一种短暂的时尚。另外，无人机可以重复使用，而且不会产生放射性尘埃。
从这个意义上说，它们是一种非常好的、可持续的选择。由此可推知，Howitt认为无人机表演呈上升的趋
势。
10．Which of the following may Howitt suggest according to the last paragraph?
A．Promoting the production of drones.
B．Diversifying the functions of drones.
C．Prohibiting the displays of fireworks.
D．Regarding drone shows as an alternative.
解析：D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中Howitt的话可知，他们发现烟花和无人机配合时效果非常好，
但他们并没有真正把无人机视为一个替代品。他们觉得它只是另一个工具，用来让天空更有生气，让你想
对你正在表演的节目做些什么。由此可知，Howitt认为无人机并不会取代烟花，建议把它作为一种选择。
11．In which section of a website can we read this text?
A．Advertisement. B．Education.
C．Health. D．Environment.
解析：D 文章出处题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了将无人机用于灯光表演的优点、可能给环境带来
的影响以及人们对无人机灯光表演的态度，因此我们可能在网站上与环境有关的部分读到这篇文章。

学科网（北京）股份有限公司(2022·西安市五校联考)Kids, parents, teachers and health experts are calling for traditional school uniforms
to be replaced with sports uniforms five days a week.
Matthew Mclaughlin and a team of researchers, found in a recent survey four in five parents and six in ten
teachers support a change in uniform policy allowing students to wear sports uniforms every day. The research also
showed 62 percent of primary school students and 72 percent of secondary school students would prefer to wear a
sports uniform five days a week. “We think sports uniforms should be worn five days a week and that would be a
saving of $167 for primary students and $363 for secondary students in Victoria，” Mr Mclaughlin said. “Sports
uniforms are cheaper than traditional uniforms. Most sports uniforms consist of a tracksuit, a polo shirt with a
school logo, sport shorts and trainers.”
He said older students strongly agreed they would be more active wearing sports uniforms due to traditional
uniforms being “too uncomfortable”. “The sports uniforms make it easier for students to engage in more physical
activity. An example of this is girls being able to play on monkey bars without having to worry about exposing their
underwear while going upside down. They can already see from a young age that this sets them apart from the
boys.”
Geoff Roberts said his school's students had been wearing an “active wear uniform” since the start of the year.
“It's incredibly popular with students. It's everyday comfort, easy to wash and dry and gender-diverse，” he said.
It had increased the students' activity levels at lunch and recess.
Independent Schools Victoria chief executive Michelle Green said independent schools set their own
uniform policies and had adopted a wide range of approaches. “Some don't prescribe (规定) a uniform at all，”
Ms Green said. “In recent years there has been a trend among many schools towards more flexible and in some
cases more informal policies on uniforms. This has included gender-neutral options and uniforms that don't restrict
physical activity, particularly for girls.”

愿意一周五天穿运动服。如果一周五天穿运动服，维多利亚州的中小学生分别能省下363美元和167美元。
据此可知，这里提及数据是为了说明运动服得到了认可。
