In an age of rapid technological evolution, innovations have permeated every corner of human life,
transforming how we work, communicate, and explore the world. For 18-year-old Mia, a passionate tech
enthusiast, this wave of change has become a calling to bridge innovation with practicality and inclusivity. What
started as a high school robotics club project soon evolved into a journey of creating tech solutions that address
real-life challenges and empower communities.
Mia's fascination with tech's potential began unexpectedly. During a community service trip to a rural area,
she noticed that elderly residents struggled with basic digital tools—many couldn't use smartphone apps to book
medical appointments or access agricultural information tailored to their needs. While some viewed this as an
inevitable gap between generations, Mia saw it as an opportunity. She was struck by how technology, which
had simplified so much of urban life, was leaving vulnerable groups behind. Unlike her peers who were drawn
to cutting-edge gadgets for entertainment, Mia focused on the human side of tech: its ability to connect, support,
and improve lives. On weekends, she volunteered at community centers, teaching seniors basic digital skills—
from video-calling family members to using weather forecast apps. She also researched international cases of
inclusive tech, discovering how user-centered design and simple innovations could make technology accessible
to all.
Later, Mia joined a national youth innovation competition themed "Tech for Good." The task was to design
technological solutions that solve social problems. Her team, composed of students with backgrounds in

programming, design, and social work, debated intensely—some advocated for advanced, high-tech prototypes,
while others emphasized affordability and ease of use. Mia proposed a balanced approach: developing a
simplified smart device tailored to rural seniors, with large buttons, voice guidance, and pre-installed apps for
healthcare, agriculture, and emergency assistance. The device would also connect to local community centers,
allowing volunteers to remotely assist users when needed. Mia took charge of the user experience design,
conducting interviews with rural residents to ensure the device met their specific needs. Their prototype won
the first prize, and a tech company later partnered with them to mass-produce the device, bringing tangible
benefits to thousands of rural families.
Through her journey with technology, Mia has grown into a more empathetic, innovative, and socially
responsible young adult. She has realized that technological development is not just about breakthroughs and
progress, but about using innovation to serve humanity. As a tech industry expert told her, "Technology is a
powerful tool—when you guide it with empathy, you are not just advancing innovation, but building a more
inclusive and sustainable future for everyone." Today, Mia continues to advocate for inclusive tech, shares her
experiences at youth forums, and proves that technology can be a force for good, fostering connection, equality,
and progress for all who engage with it.（469 词）

Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea
and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic
snow. They are even appearing inside humans.
Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level of microplastics
in water from your tap (水龙头): boiling and filtering (过滤) it. In a study published Wednesday in Environmental
Science & Technology Letters, researchers from China found that boiling tap water for just five minutes — then
filtering it after it cools — could remove at least 80 percent of its microplastics.
Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics.
In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in
plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by
just 25 percent. Additionally, the research didn’t include all types of plastics. The team focused only on three common
types — polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene — and they didn’t study other chemicals previously found in
water such as vinyl chloride.
Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming
increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more
microplastics than originally thought.
Scientists are still trying to determine how harmful microplastics are — but what they do know has raised
concerns. The new study suggests boiling tap water could be a tool to limit intake. “The way they demonstrated how
microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental
engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We
should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.”
32．How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A．By quoting an expert.
B．By defining a concept.
C．By giving examples.
D．By providing statistics.
33．What determines the effectiveness of trapping microplastics in water?
A．The hardness of water.
B．The length of cooling time.
C．The frequency of filtering.
D．The type of plastic in water.
34．What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning bottled water in paragraph 4?
A．The importance of plastic recycling.
B．The severity of the microplastic problem.
C．The danger in overusing pure water.
D．The difficulty in treating polluted water.
35．What is Gauchotte-Lindsay’s suggestion about?
A．Choice of new research methods.
B．Possible direction for further study.
C．Need to involve more researchers.
D．Potential application of the findings.

In the race to document the species on Earth before they go extinct, researchers and citizen scientists have
collected billions of records. Today, most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos, videos, and other
digital records. Though they are useful for detecting shifts in the number and variety of species in an area, a new
Stanford study has found that this type of record is not perfect.
“With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observations of different species with the aid of a
mobile application,” said Barnabas Daru, who is lead author of the study and assistant professor of biology in the
Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences. “These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from
physical specimens (标本), and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are
responding to global change, I wanted to know: Are they usable?”
Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants, insects, birds, and animals, Daru and his team tested
how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns.
“We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias (使有偏差) data, like
the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it,”
said Daru.
Their study revealed that the large number of observation-only records did not lead to better global coverage.
Moreover, these data are biased and favor certain regions, time periods, and species. This makes sense because the
people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile devices are often citizen scientists recording their
encounters with species in areas nearby. These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye-
catching features.
What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity?
“Quite a lot,” Daru explained. “Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform users of oversampled
areas and lead them to places — and even species — that are not well-sampled. To improve the quality of
observational data, biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their
uploaded image.”
32．What do we know about the records of species collected now?
A．They are becoming outdated.
B．They are mostly in electronic form.
C．They are limited in number.
D．They are used for public exhibition.
33．What does Daru’s study focus on?
A．Threatened species.
B．Physical specimens.
C．Observational data.
D．Mobile applications.
34．What has led to the biases according to the study?
A．Mistakes in data analysis.
B．Poor quality of uploaded pictures.
C．Improper way of sampling.
D．Unreliable data collection devices.
35．What is Daru’s suggestion for biodiversity apps?
A．Review data from certain areas.
B．Hire experts to check the records.
C．Confirm the identity of the users.
D．Give guidance to citizen scientists.

A machine can now not only beat you at chess, it can also outperform you in debate. Last week, in a public
debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents, including Noa Ovadia,
Israel’s former national debating champion.
Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents and
prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make. Such
wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out, yet they also point to a fundamental problem. As Kristian Hammond, professor
of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, put it: “There’s never a stage at which the
system knows what it’s talking about.”
What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least
intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines. A computer works with symbols. Its program specifies
a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another. But it does not specify what those symbols mean.
Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant. Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, also work with
symbols. But for humans, meaning is everything. When we communicate, we communicate meaning. What matters
is not just the outside of a string of symbols, but the inside too, not just how they are arranged but what they mean.
Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the content
of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society,
in social memory, social conventions and social relations. It is this that distinguishes humans from machines. And
that’s why, however astonishing Project Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will
not end with artificial intelligence.
28. Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph?
A. To explain the use of a software program.
B. To show the cleverness of Project Debater.
C. To introduce the designer of Project Debater.
D. To emphasize the fairness of the competition.
29. What does the underlined word “wrinkles” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Arguments.
B. Doubts.
C. Errors.
D. Differences.
30. What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond?
A. Create rules.
B. Comprehend meaning.
C. Talk fluently.
D. Identify difficult words.
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Social interaction is key to understanding symbols.
B. The human brain has potential yet to be developed.
C. Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters.
D. Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future.

Drones, once used mainly by the military, are now widespread around the world thanks to one company: DJI.
Founded in 2006 in a university dormitory in Shenzhen, China, by Frank Wang, DJI has reshaped the industry and
changed how we see the world.
Before DJI’s rise, consumer drones were complex, unstable, and required significant technical knowledge to
operate. DJI changed this by creating a unique flight control system that made drones easy to fly. This user-friendly
approach, combined with adding high-quality cameras, opened up a world of possibilities. From then on, DJI’s
drones have become a hit. Not only Hollywood filmmakers but also common people and professionals could create
amazing aerial videos.
The influence of DJI’s technology goes beyond just creating beautiful images. Drones are now vital tools in
disaster response. After earthquakes, they can fly over dangerous areas to check the damage and find survivors,
keeping rescue teams safer. In agriculture, they help with precision farming, checking crop health from the air and
spraying water or pesticides exactly where needed, which helps protect the environment. Ultimately, they are also
used in search and rescue, check infrastructure like bridges and power lines, and even deliver medicine to remote
villages.
However, the rapid growth of drones has also raised some concerns. People worry that drones might fly too
close to their homes and violate their privacy. There are also safety concerns, especially when drones fly near
airports and might endanger planes, which have led governments worldwide to rush to create new rules. Despite
these challenges, DJI continues to innovate, focusing on making its drones safer and more secure.
From a hobbyist’s gadget to a powerful tool for good, DJI’s story is not just about technological innovation,
it’s about how a single company’s vision can create a new industry and provide a new perspective on our world.
28. What made DJI’s drones popular with the public?
A. Their low price and military-grade technology.
B. Their strong structure and long-lasting batteries.
C. Their simple flight control system and well-made cameras.
D. Their special use in professional movie making.
29. The word “precision” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. speed
B. accuracy
C. freedom
D. safety
30. Why governments rush to create new rules？
A. DJI’s innovation is no longer welcomed by the public.
B. Drones have raised concerns about privacy and safety.
C. Drones should be completely banned near the airports.
D. Governments are racing to develop their own drone technologies.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards DJI?

What sounds like science fiction is becoming an increasingly common reality in medical facilities worldwide.
Originally, virtual reality (VR) glasses, primarily associated with gaming and entertainment, are now emerging as
powerful medical tools. Whether applied in physical recovery, pain management, or surgical training, this wearable
technology is transforming traditional medical practices. Patients can be lost in interactive therapeutic
environments while receiving real-time guidance for their treatment.
The advantages of medical VR systems begin with their user-friendly design. Modern VR wearable devices
feature lightweight construction and wireless connectivity, ensuring comfortable extended use. High-definition
displays create realistic virtual environments, while integrated sensors precisely track body movements. Advanced
models even combine eye-tracking technology to monitor patients’ visual attention, providing valuable data for
healthcare professionals. Beyond creating realistic experiences, these systems employ complicated software to
enhance treatment outcomes. Artificial intelligence algorithms (算法) can analyze patients’ movements in real time,
automatically adjusting therapy difficulty to match individual progress. The combination with cloud technology
allows for secure data storage and enables remote monitoring by medical teams. This connectivity also lets
different systems work together by connecting with other digital health platforms, like telemedicine services and
wearable fitness trackers.
The practical benefits of VR in healthcare are epoch-making. For patients, interactive virtual environments
increase engagement and motivation during recovery exercises. For medical institutions, these systems can reduce
staff workload while providing detailed progress tracking. Some VR systems have already obtained official medical
device certification, confirming their safety and effectiveness for clinical use.
Looking ahead, as technology continues to advance, VR applications in medicine are expected to expand
further. Current research explores their potential in treating psychological conditions, managing chronic pain, and
enhancing medical education. While not replacing traditional methods entirely, VR technology offers a valuable
supplement to traditional treatments, potentially making healthcare more accessible and effective for patients
everywhere.
