We were designing a wheelchair fr a cllege engineering curse and my classmates felt nly steel wuld be strng enugh fr the handheld levers (操作杆). I believed aluminum (铝) wuld be a better ptin. But the student wh mst strngly advcated fr steel wrked at a bike shp; surely I didn’t knw better, having used metal nly fr crafts. A few days later, when the heavy steel arm kept falling, I felt validated. I had been right and I wished I had shwn mre steely reslve in defending my psitin.
I was a crafty kid. My parents always came hme prepared fr whatever creative chas I had made that day — painting, clay sculpting, sewing stuffed animals, and mre. But when I enrlled in engineering in cllege, I put these pursuits aside. I didn’t think they were relevant t my academic wrk and I hesitated t highlight my “feminine” crafting interests in the male-dminated engineering envirnment where I already felt like an utsider. I tld myself that engineering sufficiently fed my creative side.
The wheelchair prject suggested my crafting might be imprtant, but fr the next few years I cntinued t avid bringing it up in prfessinal spaces. When I was being interviewed fr engineering jbs later and was asked whether I made things in my spare time, I was sure the interviewers wuldn’t care abut my hmemade hliday cards. Instead, I expressed my interest in ding mre 3D printing. The cmpany ffered me the jb, s I felt my assumptin was cnfirmed.
My attitude didn’t change until ne day I was making a set f dice (骰子) as a gift fr a friend. While puring the liquid resin (树脂) int the muld, I suddenly realized that resin art shares the same spirit and sme f the skills f engineering. Maybe my crafting was smething I shuld welcme.
Since then, I’ve built crafting back int my free time. I’ve als stpped hiding it frm my clleagues. I mentined my dicemaking adventures at a rbtics cnference and intrduced hw we culd gain inspiratin frm an art experience I had recently had in a meeting. The respnses were cnsistently psitive and cnstructive — nt dismissive (鄙视的), as I used t fear.
I’ve grwn int an engineer with valuable skills gained frm my first passin.
4. What des the underlined wrd “validated” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Inspired.B. Cnfirmed.C. Disappinted.D. Acknwledged.

A. The reasn she chse t hide her hbby.
B. The challenges she encuntered in cllege.
C. Her parents’ impact n her creative develpment.
D. Her strategy fr balancing crafting and engineering.
6. What made the authr realize the significance f crafting t engineering?
A. Her dice making.B. Her jb interview.
C. The wheelchair prject.D. The rbtics cnference.
7. Hw did the authr’s cwrkers react when she shared her crafting experiences?
A. They were interested and jined her.
B. They were critical and reacted negatively.
C. They were cnfused and did nt understand her.
D. They were supprtive and prvided helpful advice.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. D
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者在工程学习和工作中起初隐藏自己的手工爱好，后来意识到手工对工程有重要意义，分享手工经历也得到积极回应。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“We were designing a wheelchair fr a cllege engineering curse and my classmates felt nly steel wuld be strng enugh fr the handheld levers (操作杆). I believed aluminum (铝) wuld be a better ptin.(我们当时正在为大学工程课程设计一种轮椅，我的同学们觉得只有钢的强度才够做手持杠杆。我认为铝将是一个更好的选择)”可知，对于选择什么材料来做操作杆，作者和其他同学观点不一致，结合划线词所在句“A few days later, when the heavy steel arm kept falling, I felt validated. I had been right and I wished I had shwn mre steely reslve in defending my psitin.(几天后，当沉重的钢制操作杆不断掉落时，我感到validated。我是对的，我真希望自己在捍卫自己的立场时能表现出更坚定的决心)”中“when the heavy steel arm kept falling”和“I had been right”可知，钢制操作杆出现了问题，证明作者之前认为铝制操作杆更好的观点是对的，作者觉得自己观点得到了证实，所以划线词“validated”与“cnfirmed”同义，意思是“被证实”。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“But when I enrlled in engineering in cllege, I put these pursuits aside. I didn’t think they were relevant t my academic wrk and I hesitated t highlight my “feminine” crafting interests in the male dminated engineering envirnment where I already felt like an utsider.(但当我上大学选了工程专业时，我把这些爱好放在了一边。我认为它们与我的学业无关，而且在男性主导的工程环境中，我已经觉得自己是个局外人，所以我犹豫是否要突出我‘女性化’的手工爱好)”可知，作者在第二段中解释了她选择隐藏自己手工爱好的原因。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“My attitude didn’t change until ne day I was making a set f dice (骰子) as a gift fr a friend. While puring the liquid resin (树脂) int the muld, I suddenly realized that resin art shares the same spirit and sme f the skills f engineering.(直到有一天，我为一个朋友做一套骰子作为礼物时，我的态度才发生了改变。当我把液态树脂倒入模具时，我突然意识到树脂艺术与工程学有着相同的精神和一些技能)”可知，是做骰子这件事让作者意识到手工对工程的重要性。故选A项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“The respnses were cnsistently psitive and cnstructive — nt dismissive (鄙视的), as I used t fear.(回应一直是积极且有建设性的——不像我过去担心的那样遭到鄙视)”可知，作者的同事们对她分享手工经历是支持的，并给出了有用的建议。故选D项。

D
Over the past 40 years, neurscience (神经科学) researchers have begun t build a remarkably accurate picture f what exactly happens in the brain during adlescence (青春期).
One area f research has been neurplasticity — that is, the brain’s ability t rerganise itself by frming new neural cnnectins. During childhd, the brain’s 86 billin neurns create numerus cnnectin patterns. Each time we learn t d smething, neural pathways are created that allw us t repeat and imprve upn the actin. By adulthd, neural pathways that have been used frequently becme “fixed”, whereas the less-used r unused pathways disappear. These strnger “fixed” cnnectins enable adults t have mre cmplex thughts and t carry ut regular actins mre effectively. Hwever, the disappearance f ther less-used cnnectins reduces the brain’s “flexibility”. As a result, adults find it harder t master new skills r remember unfamiliar infrmatin.
It used t be thught that teenagers’ brains were similar t adults in this respect, but research has revealed that the teenage brain still has tremendus “plasticity” — less than in childhd, but mre than adults — and s teenagers are better at learning and memrising things than adults. This means this is a great age t develp new skills such as playing an instrument, learning t drive r speaking a new language. Recent research has even shwn that a persn’s IQ, which was previusly thught t be unchanging, can imprve in the teen years!
Research has als shwn a further difference in the prefrntal crtex (PFC) f teenagers and adults. The PFC is the area f the brain that’s respnsible fr abstract thinking. Its functins include planning. predicting the results f actins as well as regulatin f emtins, and fcusing n gals. Unlike in adults, the teenage PFC is still develping, which explains why teenagers can be impulsive (冲动的) and take risks and why they find it hard t cncentrate and make gd chices.
Psychiatrist Dr Daniel Siegel thinks the teenage years are very exciting nes. He believes that learning abut hw their brains wrk helps teenagers develp their emtinal intelligence and thught prcesses, allwing them t be the very best persn they can be. It seems then, that the teenage years are the ideal time t learn prblem-slving and critical thinking skills.
12. What happens t neural pathways as individuals grw frm children t adults?
A. Sme disappear because new cnnectins are frmed.
B. Sme becme strengthened thrugh frequent use.
C. They increase in number but decrease in strength.
D. They remain highly flexible thrughut adulthd.
13. What des higher brain plasticity mean t teenagers?
A. They have mre intelligence than adults.
B. They have a remarkable ability t learn.
C. They can play an instrument better than adults.
D. They have an intense interest in learning.
14. Hw are teenagers influenced by the PFC?
A. They act withut much cnsideratin.B. They can memrise things very quickly.
C. They experience pwerful emtins.D. They adapt t new envirnments easily.
15. What is Dr Daniel Siegel’s pinin?
A. Adlescence is the mst difficult perid f life.
B. Teenagers’ brain develpment is already cmplete.
C. Teenagers shuld be given mre freedm and independence.
D. Studying the develpment f teenagers’ brains benefits them.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. D
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了神经科学对青少年大脑的研究，包括神经可塑性和前额叶皮层的发育特点及其影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“By adulthd, neural pathways that have been used frequently becme “fixed”, whereas the less-used r unused pathways disappear. These strnger “fixed” cnnectins enable adults t have mre cmplex thughts and t carry ut regular actins mre effectively.(到成年后，经常使用的神经通路变得“固定”，而较少使用或未使用的神经通路则消失。这些更强的“固定”连接使成年人有更复杂的想法，并更有效地执行常规行动)”可知，随着个体从儿童成长为成年人，经常被使用的神经通路会变得“固定”，也就是得到了加强。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“It used t be thught that teenagers’ brains were similar t adults in this respect, but research has revealed that the teenage brain still has tremendus “plasticity” — less than in childhd, but mre than adults — and s teenagers are better at learning and memrising things than adults. This means this is a great age t develp new skills such as playing an instrument, learning t drive r speaking a new language.(过去人们认为，青少年的大脑在这方面与成年人相似，但研究表明，青少年的大脑仍然具有巨大的“可塑性”——比儿童时期少，但比成年人多——因此，青少年在学习和记忆方面比成年人更好。这意味着这是一个培养新技能的好年龄，比如演奏乐器、学习开车或说一门新语言)”可知，青少年大脑具有更高的可塑性，这意味着他们比成年人更擅长学习和记忆东西，也就是他们有很强的学习能力。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Unlike in adults, the teenage PFC is still develping, which explains why teenagers can be impulsive (冲动的) and take risks and why they find it hard t cncentrate and make gd chices.(与成年人不同，青少年的PFC仍在发育中，这就解释了为什么青少年会冲动、冒险，以及为什么他们很难集中注意力、做出正确的选择)” 可知，青少年的前额叶皮层（PFC）仍在发育，这解释了为什么青少年会冲动、冒险，也就是他们做事不经过太多考虑。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Psychiatrist Dr Daniel Siegel thinks the teenage years are very exciting nes. He believes that learning abut hw their brains wrk helps teenagers develp their emtinal intelligence and thught prcesses, allwing them t be the very best persn they can be. It seems then, that the teenage years are the ideal time t learn prblem-slving and critical thinking skills.(精神病学家丹尼尔·西格尔博士认为青少年时期是非常令人兴奋的时期。他认为，了解大脑是如何工作的有助于青少年发展他们的情商和思维过程，使他们成为最好的人。因此，青少年时期似乎是学习解决问题和批判性思维技能的理想时期)” 可知，丹尼尔·西格尔博士认为青少年时期很令人兴奋，了解他们的大脑如何工作有助于青少年发展他们的情商和思维过程，让他们成为最好的自己，也就是研究青少年大脑的发展对他们有益。故选D项。
