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, Shaya 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 from occurring.
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 hardwired 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.
4．What can we learn about Shanya from the first two paragraphs?
A．She gained a lot of money in the award. B．She showed a curious nature as a schooler.
C．She set a big stage for young people her age. D．She was junior to other winners in performance.
5．What motivated Shanya to develop her fire detection system?
A．Her desire to win the science award. B．Her experience of a destructive fire.
C．Her interest in computer programming. D．Her goal to improve STEM education for girls.
6．What is an advantage of Shanya’s invention?
A．It consists of two parts that are easier to conduct.
B．It can send out a warning against a potential fire.
C．It can detect active fires from the smoke in the air.
D．It functions when a fire breaks out within 10 minutes.
7．Which of the following can best describe Shanya?
A．Reliable. B．Cooperative. C．Innovative. D．Generous.
C
One overlooked benefit of lab-grown food is that it may help the UK deal with the crisis in housingaffordability. As farming is replaced by precision fermentation (发酵) , the significant amount of land currently
used for livestock farming(including parts of the green belt) will be freed up for development in places that people
actually want to live.
However, we’d take a different lesson from the promise of lab-grown meat. Free-market environmentalism
and harnessing the power of innovative technologies — supported by market-based measures like a border-
adjusted carbon tax — can successfully tackle the problem of man-made climate change without fundamentally
uprooting the way we run society. Saving the planet doesn’t have to cost us the earth.
It is important to acknowledge that certain types of livestock farming may have issues with sustainability and
climate change. But it is not true of all farming systems; and the issues that do exist are being dealt with using the
latest research into genetics and biotechnology-for example, recent research has shown that certain types of
seaweed can reduce methane emissions from cattle to close to zero.
Farmer data also shows that increased sales of milks have not seen a corresponding reduction in dairy sales.
The global food system, consumer choices and climate change are incredibly complex issues, and anyone who
proposes simple solutions is almost certainly not in possession of all the relevant facts and data. Livestock are an
important part of humanity’s future food needs.
8．Why does lab-grown food help Britain to solve the housing affordability crisis?
A．As farming is replaced by precision fermentation, the level of agricultural development is improved.
B．The significant amount of green belts are used for development in places that people actually want to live.
C．Lab-grown food is more environmentally friendly and beneficial to human health.
D．A large amount of land used for livestock farming will be freed up for residence.
9．What lessons have learned from the promise of lab-grown meat?
A．Free-market environmentalism can change the way society operates.
B．Adjusting carbon tax can successfully solve the problem of climate change.
C．Adopting the power of innovative technologies is useful for saving the earth.
D．Saving the earth requires changing the way society operates.
10．Which of the following best explains “harnessing” underlined in paragraph 2?
A．obtain B．exploit C．inherit D．develop
11．It can be inferred from this passage that______________.
A．global food issue is so complex that there are no complete research data.
B．sustainability and climate change are common problems in agricultural systems.
C．some kinds of seaweed can make the amount of methane emitted by cattle ineffective.D．the sales of substitute dairy products increased, and the sales of dairy products decreased accordingly.
D
The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late
1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the
child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be
given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed
a connect ion between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success.
As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’ re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but
by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various
types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.
We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed
a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve
reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have
the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to
resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.
A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was
information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has
greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information.
Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more
thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to
manage our time most effectively.
12．What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test?
A．Take an examination alone. B．Show respect for the researchers.
C．Share their treats with others. D．Delay eating for fifteen minutes.
13．According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between ___________.
A．the calorie-poor world and our good appetites
B．the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs
C．the rich food supply and our unchanged brains
D．the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit
14．What does the author suggest readers do?A．Absorb new information readily. B．Be selective information consumers.
C．Use diverse information sources. D．Protect the information environment.
15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Eat Less, Read More B．The Bitter Truth about Early Humans
C．The Later, the Better D．The Marshmallow Test for Grownups
