It’s 1:30 am in Kenya’s ppulated nrth, and 50 peple are lying n their backs n the shre f a dried-up river, staring up at the night sky. These stargazers have travelled 250 miles t Samburu t witness the Perseid meter shwer (英仙座流星雨). They are nt disappinted: Every few minutes, arrws f light sht acrss the sky like silent firewrks.
The Star Safari is rganised by a Kenyan astrnmer, Susan Murabana, wh has brught a 50 kg, 170 cm-lng telescpe t allw the grup t view Mars and deep-sky bjects. But here in Samburu, where light pllutin is minimal, the Perseid meters—visible with the naked eye (裸眼)—steal the shw.
Every tw mnths, Murabana and her husband lad their telescpe n t the rf f their 4×4 and set ff t rural cmmunities, where they give up t 300 children a chance t view the planets and learn abut cnstellatins (星座) and the basics f astrphysics (天体物理学). They primarily targets schls in remte areas because f her missin t give girls an pprtunity that she wishes had been available t her.
“When I started this wrk, I didn’t see peple wh lked like me. I was a lne ranger and I wanted t change that.” says Murabana.
“There is a cmmn miscnceptin (误解) in Kenya that astrnmy in general is hard, bring, and nly fr bys,” she adds. “I’d like t teach yung girls that astrnmy is neither f these things and that they, t, can becme astrnmers,” says Murabana.
Murabana’s passin fr astrnmy began in her early 20s when her uncle invited her t jin a similar utreach sessin rganized by the Csms Educatin. “That was a gamechanger. If an utreach grup had cme t me when I was a yung teenager, my attitude twards a career in astrnmy wuld have been psitive. I ended up studying scilgy and ecnmics, but maybe I wuld have desired t be an astrnmer,” she says.
Inspired by the Csms Educatin, Murabana cmpleted an nline master’s degree in astrnmy with the James Ck University in 2011 and set up her wn utreach prgramme. She regarded Dr. Mae Jemisn, the first black wman in space, as a rle mdel. “I hpe that ne day, thrugh this wrk, I will spark a chain reactin that leads t the first African wman in space.”
4. What d the underlined wrds “steal the shw” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Ruin the effrt.B. Face the challenge.
C. Attract mre attentin.D. Keep the prmise.
5. Why des Murabana target girl students in remte areas?
A. T help them ut f pverty.
B. T inspire their lve f astrnmy.
C. T lk fr assistants fr her wrk.
D. T give them an edge ver bys in studies.
6. What can we learn abut Murabana frm paragraph 6?
A. She enjyed playing games.
B. She lnged t be an astrnmer.
C. She is an initiatr (创始人) f Csms Educatin.
D. She regretted nt taking astrnmy earlier.
7. What’s the passage mainly abut?

C. The Kenyan astrnmer bringing astrnmy t the peple.
D. The Kenyan stargazers watching the Perseid meters shwer.

Frm rlling hills t muntain ranges, views make any rad trip memrable, but fr blind passengers this is part f the experience they miss. Mtr cmpany Frd tries t change that. It teamed up with GTB Rma and AedPrject — t develp a technlgy that will give thse unfrtunate passengers a way t feel nature’s beauty thrugh their car windws.
The prttype (原型) f the smart car windw has a device with an utside-facing camera. With just a press f a buttn, the system takes a picture f the current view. The clrful picture is then turned int an image with different shades f grey thrugh LED lights, which vibrates (震动) differently. As the finger passes ver different regins f the image, its shaking mvements prvide feedback thrugh the sense f tuch t the persn using it. The smart windw als cmes with a vice assistant that uses AI t identify the scene and help the passengers get infrmatin n what they’re seeing.
“As the prttype started taking shape, we realized we were giving birth t a cmpletely new language that wuld give blind peple a new chance t visualize and experience traveling,” Federic Russ — ne directr f GTB Rma, said. “When the idea was at its first stage, we lked fr suppliers all arund the wrld t make it cme t life.” He believes the technlgy can be emplyed nt just in cars. “It culd be intrduced int schls and institutins fr blind peple as a tl that culd be used in multiple ways.”
The technlgy may shw up in a Frd autnmus vehicle. It’s knwn that the cmpany is testing their technlgy and future business mdel and struggling t figure ut hw an autnmus vehicle gives different passengers the details needed t get frm ne destinatin t anther. It’s unclear when this technlgy will be made available. Hwever, the idea is indeed a kind and influential actin.
8. Hw des the smart car windw wrk?
A. By srting shaking mvements.B. By recrding the view with a camera.
C. By translating scenery int vibratins.D. By presenting different clrs.
9. What can we knw abut the technlgy accrding t Federic Russ?
A. It will have wide applicatin.B. It will be used in schls first.
C. It will be tested arund the wrld.D. It will understand different languages.
10. What difficulty is Frd facing currently?
A. Hw t explre their future business mdel.
B. Hw the technlgy is applied t everyday life.
C. Hw t prduce autnmus cars in large numbers.
D. Hw an autnmus vehicle prvides rute infrmatin.
11. Which can be the best title fr the text?
A. Al-based Windw Adds Fun t Rad Trips
B. Frd Develps a System fr the Blind t Drive
C. Smart Windw Lets Blind Passengers Feel Views
D. Technlgy Makes Blind Peple’s Trip Enjyable

Survivr bias (偏见，偏差) ccurs when yu tend t assess successful utcmes and disregard (忽视) failures. This sampling bias paints a mre prmising r even misleading picture f reality.
Survivr bias is a sneaky (鬼鬼祟祟的) prblem that tends t slip int analyses unnticed. Fr starters, it feels natural t emphasize success, whether it’s entrepreneurs, r survivrs f a medical cnditin. We fcus n and share these stries mre than the failures.
Think abut the famus cllege drputs wh became highly successful, such as Mark Zuckerberg. Steve Jbs, and Bill Gates. These successful examples might make yu think a cllege degree isn’t beneficial. Hwever, that’s survivr bias at wrk! These famus individuals are at the frefrnt f media reprts. Yu hear mre abut them because they are extrardinary. Yu’re nt cnsidering the millins f ther cllege drputs that aren’t rich and famus. Yu need t assess their utcmes as well.
Survivr bias has even ccurred in medical studies abut severe diseases. Yunger, healthier, and mre fit patients tend t survive a disease’s initial diagnsis mre frequently. Hence, they are mre likely t jin medical studies. On the cntrary, lder, weaker patients are less likely t survive lng enugh t participate in studies. Cnsequently, these studies verestimate successful disease utcmes because they are less likely t include thse wh die shrtly after diagnsis.
Undeniably, successful cases are usually mre visible and easier t cntact than unsuccessful cases. Hwever, fcusing n the high-perfrming successes and disregarding ther cases intrduces survivr bias. After all, yu’re leaving ut a significant part f the picture as it’s harder t cllect data frm the less successful members f a ppulatin. Incmplete data can affect yur decisin-making prcess. Put simply, survivr bias prduces an inaccurate sample, causing yu t jump t incrrect cnclusins.
T minimize the impact f survivr bias, yu shuld find ways t draw a representative sample frm the ppulatin, nt just a few f successful samples. That prcess might call fr mre expense and effrt, but yu’ll get better results.
12. What writing technique is used in Paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. Making cmparisns.B. Giving examples.
C. Describing facts.D. Analyzing data.
13. What may ccur if yu have a survivr bias?
A. Yu will take all factrs int accunt befre making a final analysis.
B. Yu will verestimate the failure rate s yu may quit yur prject.
C. Yu will nly have partial data and reach an incrrect cnclusin.
D. Yu will be mre likely t survive in unfavrable circumstances.
14. What can we infer frm the passage?
A. Peple tend t lse sight f the verall statistics.
B. Peple arc unwilling t read unsuccessful stries.
C. Dctrs dn’t have enugh expense t cllect abundant samples.
D. The media shuld be respnsible fr kids’ drpping ut f schl.
15. What des the authr suggest readers d t avid survivr bias?
A. Leave ut the famus histric cases.
B. Cllect a wide enugh range f samples.
C. Fcus n thse mst mentined examples.
D. Select sme successful and inspiring tales.

I started t pedal and the bicycle mved. Sweat welling n my frehead, I tried my utmst t keep the balance by cntrlling the handle. Srt f afraid as I was, I made myself calm dwn because I knew my dad wuld keep prtecting me. What I needed t d was hlding the bars and keeping pedaling. With it mving, I felt it wasn’t as difficult as I had expected and even began t speed up. S delighted was I that I wanted t yell ut and share my feelings with my dad.
I turned arund and fund my dad was nt behind. A great sense f shck and scare seized me and my mind suddenly went blank. My bdy began shaking and I fell ff the bicycle. Lying n the grund, I felt great pains n my legs. Then Dad apprached and said. “Be manly.” Regaining my curage, I climbed nt the bicycle again. I held the bars tightly and made effrts t balance my bdy. My father cmmented I was ne f the quickest learners he had ever seen. But he didn’t realize it was the almighty sense f security and trust frm him that played the best part.

I started t pedal and the bicycle mved. “Lk straight frward and keep hld f the handle tightly!” My father emphasized. With palms sweating and legs trembling, I made every effrt t keep the balance and the bike was winding frward slwly. Deeply cnvinced that my dad was hlding my back scat, I was much in relief and wbbled ff dwn the rad. All f a sudden, I stumbled n the uneven grund and fell flat n my face. A sharp pain swept acrss my whle bdy and I culdn’t help bursting int tears.
I turned arund and fund my dad was nt behind. In a fit f anger, I blurted ut, “Dad, yu prmised t hld my back seat, why did yu let it g?” My dad ran up t me, carefully checked my situatin and cmfrted, “Dear, actually yu have pedaled fr abut 50 yards, by yurself!” Rted t the spt, I almst culdn’t believe my ears. “Everything is difficult befre they are easy. Try again?” Inspired by his wrds, I picked up my curage and had a secnd try, finally realizing what being a man was all abut.
