Winning a remarkable science award is really a big deal, especially if yu are 12 years ld.But Shanya Gill, a middle schler frm San Jse, Califrnia, wn the tp award in the Therm Fisher Scientific Junir Innvatrs Challenge fr designing a fire detectin system that is superir t existing nes, as stated in the press release.
“The tp winners have exhibited bundless curisity,” Maya Ajmera president and CEO f Sciety fr Science, said in the press release.“Their remarkable research nt nly reflects their talent but als paves the way fr an exciting new future.”
Shanya’s inspiratin came after a fire destryed a restaurant in her neighbrhd during the summer f 2022, reprted The Washingtn Pst.“I had never really experienced smething like that befre,” she tld The Washingtn Pst abut the early mrning fire at Hlder’s Cuntry Inn, which started in the kitchen.“They had smke detectrs.and yet it still burned dwn,” she added.
After she studied fire statistics, Shaya spent ver a year develping a fire detectin system that she believes culd have prevented the fire.Unlike traditinal smke detectrs that sense active fires frm the smke in the air, Shanya’s thermal (热的) imaging device is designed t stp fires frm ccurring.
With a thermal camera and a Raspberry Pi, a tiny cmputer the device detects when a heat surce has been left unattended fr ten minutes and sends a text message warning.Creating the prttype(原型) was difficult and the hardest part was the prgramming, “I had tw designs, and my first design cmpletely failed.It was a really big challenge I had t g thrugh.” she said.The final device utperfrms smke detectrs in speed and accuracy.Shanya wants t bring the csts dwn t make it even mre cmmn than hardwired smke detectrs.
“Shanya saw a prblem, went after it and tried t slve it, and that’s what we need t encurage with all yung peple,” said Ajmera.She als highlighted the significance f supprting individuals, especially girls and kids f clr, in STEM fields, as research indicates that many yung peple drp ut f these areas.
24.What can we learn abut Shanya frm the first tw paragraphs?
A.She gained a lt f mney in the award. B.She shwed a curius nature as a schler.
C.She set a big stage fr yung peple her age.D.She was junir t ther winners in perfrmance.
25.What mtivated Shanya t develp her fire detectin system?
A.Her desire t win the science award. B.Her experience f a destructive fire.
C.Her interest in cmputer prgramming. D.Her gal t imprve STEM educatin fr girls.
26.What is an advantage f Shanya’s inventin?
A.It cnsists f tw parts that are easier t cnduct.
B.It can send ut a warning against a ptential fire.
C.It can detect active fires frm the smke in the air.
D.It functins when a fire breaks ut within 10 minutes.
27.Which f the fllwing can best describe Shanya?

Since the last ice age, humans have cleared nearly half f the earth’s frests and grasslands fr agriculture. With the wrld ppulatin expanding, there's ever-increasing pressure n farmland t prduce nt nly mre fd but als clean energy, In places such as Yakima Cunty, Washingtn, it’s created cmpetitin fr space as land-hungry slar panels (板) cnsume available fields. Last mnth, the state apprved plans t cver 1,700 acres f agricultural land with slar panels, fueling cncerns ver the lng-term impacts f lsing crpland.
A recent study frm the University f Califrnia, hwever, shws hw farmers may sn harvest crps and energy tgether, One researcher, Majdi Abu Najm, explains that visible light spectrum (光谱) can be separated int blue and red light waves, and their phtns (光子) have different prperties. Blue nes have higher energy than red nes. While that gives blue light what is needed t generate pwer, it als results in higher temperatures. “Frm a plant angle, red phtns are the efficient nes,” says Abu Najm. “They dn’t make the plant feel ht.”
A gal f the study is t create a new generatin f slar panels. He sees ptential in the rganic slar cells, which cme frm carbn-based materials. Thin and transparent, the cells are applied like a film nt varius surfaces. This new technlgy culd be used t develp special slar panels that blck blue light t generate pwer, while passing the red light n t crps planted directly belw. These panels culd als prvide shade fr heat-sensitive fruits during the httest part f the day.
By 2050, we’ll have tw billin mre peple, and we'll need mre fd and mre energy. By maximizing the slar spectrum, “we’re making full use f an endlessly sustainable resurce,” says Abu Najm. “If a technlgy kicks in that can develp these panels, then the sky is the limit n hw efficient we can be.”
28. What prblem des the first paragraph fcus n?
A. Lsing crpland t slar panels. B. Distributin f the wrld ppulatin.
C. Reductin in frests and grasslands. D. Cmpeting fr land between farmers.
29. What des the underlined wrd “that” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Generatin f slar pwer. B. Ht weather increasing efficiency.
C. Blue phtns having higher energy. D. Separatin f visible light spectrum.
30. What d we knw abut the rganic slar cells?
A. They make fruits heat-sensitive. B. They can cl dwn in ht days,
C. They allw red light t pass thrugh. D. They can stre carbn-based materials.
31. What des Abu Najm think f the future f the new slar panels?
A. Limited.B. Prmising.C. Uncertain.D. Challenging.
D
“Anxiety.” The very wrd invites discmfrt. Is effects—shrtness f breath, punding heart, muscle tensin—are utright upsetting. But, as a clinician, I find that we tend t miss ut n many valuable pprtunities presented by this human emtin. In and f itself, anxiety is nt deadly, nr is it a disease. Quite the cntrary: it is an indicatr f brain and sensry health. Once we accept that it is a nrmal, thugh uncmfrtable, part f life, we can use it t help us.
We all knw wrking ut at the gym is hard. By nature, a “gd wrkut” is uncmfrtable, since it invlves pushing ur physical strength past what we can easily d. The sweet spt f exercise is always a smewhat challenging experience. Similarly, if yu want t be emtinally strnger, yu need t face sme tensin. Fr example, ne effective treatment fr fear is expsure therapy (疗法), which invlves gradually encuntering things that make ne anxius, reducing fear ver time.
Humans are scial creatures. When my patients learn t pen up t their partners abut their anxieties, they almst always reprt a greater sense f emtinal clseness. Als, as internatinal relatinship expert Sue Jhnsn teaches, when we express ur need fr cnnectin during challenging mments (e.g., “I’m having a hard time right nw and culd really use yur supprt”), it creates greater cnnectin and turns ur anxiety int lve.
Frm time t time, we find urselves at the end f ur rpe. Our respnsibilities pile up, ur resurces break dwn, and we feel uncmfrtably anxius—what we’re experiencing is called stress. Simply put, the demands placed upn us utweigh ur available resurces, just like a set f scales (天平) ging ut f balance. Fcusing n wrk and pretending everything is OK nly leads t disastrus results. Medical treatment fr stress may functin fr a while, but it tends t make things wrse in the lng run. The nly slutin t deal with stress is t d the mathematics t balance the scales.
32. What des the authr say abut anxiety?
A. It is an invitatin t diseases. B. It indicates stable mental health.
C. It csts us many valuable chances. D. It is a natural emtinal expressin.
33. Why des the authr mentin “gd wrkut” in paragraph 2?
A. T prve hw exercise influences emtins. B. T suggest an effective way t challenge limits.
C. T explain hw anxiety builds emtinal strength. D. T shw a psitive cnnectin between mind and bdy.
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. The key t clseness is partners’ supprt. B. Sharing anxieties imprves relatinships.
C. Humans are defined by their scial nature. D. Expressing feelings keeps us ff anxieties.
35. Accrding t the last paragraph, hw can we deal with stress?
A. Devte mre energy t ur wrk. B. Increase resurces available t us.
C. Seck prfessinal medical treatment. D. Master advanced mathematical skills.

When we were little, my yunger brther Daniel and I had a special kind f relatinship. I scared him, and he wuld cry. I dn’t remember exactly why I thught scaring him was s funny.

This methd prvided years f yuthful fun, but ver time I fund it increasingly harder t scare my little brther. He was just getting t ld t be frightened. I tried t change my strategies, but failed.
Sadly, all gd things must end. I annunced peace and said srry t my yunger brther and he tk it very well. I shuld have realized that I wuldn’t get away with my previus bad behavir s easily. I wuld pay fr what I did. Finally, I was shcked and frightened by Daniel.
One afternn, Daniel was racing dwn a steep (陡峭的) hill n a bike. All f a sudden, the handlebars (车把手) fell ff n his hands. He had n helmet (头盔) n. He fell nt the shulder f the rad.
Daniel lay there with bld flwing. After a while, his friends arrived and managed t send him t the nearest hspital. They called the rest f my family, except fr me.
When I came hme frm schl, I fund an empty huse. It didn’t surprise me since it was nrmal in my family. Mm and Dad ften wrked late, and Daniel usually stayed at a friend’s huse in the afternns. My lder brther Fred usually shwed up by dinnertime. I liked having the quiet huse all t myself. It meant I culd listen t my music as lud as I wanted. On that day, hwever, I culdn’t pay attentin t my music. Smehw, I felt s wrried and unhappy.
