Brooke Martin’s golden retriever(金毛猎犬)Kayla hated being left alone or separated.She would howl,pace,and chew on things.Brooke learned that other people had the same problem with their pets.Shewondered:“What if you could talk to your dog if you were gone?”

Working with her father in their garage,the 16-year-old came up with several ideas.Finally,she invented a device that allowed pet owners to video chat with their pets!She calls the device iCPooch.“The dog doesn’t have to answer the call,”explainsBrooke.“It comes up immediately on the screen on its end.It’s a two-way audio and video—you can see and hear each other.”With a click of a button you can even send the dog a treat!

Her invention has earned her a spot competing against nine other finalists in a young scientist competition for middle-school students.Thesefinalists,selected based on their short video presentations,are working with mentors over the summer before heading to the final competition in St.Paul,Minn.

After Martin’s video put her among the 10 finalists in the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge,she was paired with Delony Langer-Anderson,a product development scientist in 3M’s consumer health care division.“I just lead her down the product development path,”Langer-Anderson told LiveScience.This path includes guidance on how to test the potential product,which combines a video chat device that answers immediately on the dog’s end with a dog treat device the owner can remotely activate.

“One thing I have thought about a lot is,what happens if while the device is on the floor,what if your dog knocks it over,or scratches the screen?”Martinsaid.She and Langer-Anderson discussed this,andMartin is now testing materials at a local dog shelter by taping them to the dog house floor to see how well they withstand sharp teeth and claws.

The finalists create models they can test,with the guidance from a mentor.Their projects include a fuel cell that transforms cut grass into electricity and an app that rewards drivers for not texting or calling.Langer-Anderson tries to help the students work through the scientific method,testing their hypothesis,in a determined way.“So the kids don’t get buried in data,”she said.

4.Which of the following would be the best title of the text?

A.“iCPooch” wins in a young scientist competition

B.A 16-year-old girl invents a device for dogs’ hunger

C.A man-made device lets people chat with their pets

D.A kid-invented device calms dogs’ separation anxiety

5.“iCPooch” calms pet dogs by 　　　. 

A.allowing video chat　　 B.making dogs sleep

C.answering the call  D.giving them food

6.What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “mentors”?

A.Competitors.  B.Assistants.

C.Instructors.  D.Companions.

7.What do the inventions of the finalists have in common?

A.They are all new inventions dealing with pets.

B.They are possible solutions to everyday problems.

C.They cope with the problems related to computers.

D.They are all accomplished through individual work.

Ⅱ.七选五阅读

The Model T,created by Henry Ford,changed the way Americans live,work and travel.　1　 The car came only in black.But at $850,it cost about half as much as other cars on the market.Henry Ford’s great improvement in an automobile assembly line(汽车装配线) made the Model T the first car to be affordable for most Americans.　2　 

Assembly-line production allowed the price of the touring car to be lowered from $850 in 1908 to less than $300 in 1925.　3　 Even before it lost favour to larger and more powerful cars,the Model T,known as the “Tin Lizzie,” had become an American symbol,basically realizing Ford’s goal to “democratize the automobile.” 

Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company in 1903.At first,Ford built only a few cars a day.Because demand for Model Ts was so high,Ford developed a way to make more of them without increasing cost.　4　Workers stood in front of a conveyor belt(传送带),and each completed one step in putting the cars together.Ford’s method of mass production changed life in the U.S.More people could travel.Highways grew. 

The Ford Motor Company stopped making the Model T in 1927.But the automotive lifestyle had taken hold of America.Today,the race is on to make cars more efficient and to find green energy to power them.　5　 

A.In 1913,he invented a moving assembly line.

B.The Model T was offered in several body styles.

C.Will inventors with Ford’s creativity bring the next revolution?

D.At that time half of all the cars in the United States were Model Ts.

E.On October 1,1908,the Ford Motor Company introduced the Model T.

F.Between 1913 and 1927,Ford factories produced more than 15 million Model Ts.

G.For the first time car ownership became a reality for normal American workers,not just the wealthy.

Ⅲ.短文改错

I once took part in a speech contest.Such difficult was the topic that I completely had no idea about it.Even a time for preparation was so limited.I felt hopeful and wanted to give up.And deep in my heart I didn’t want to be a failure.So I recovered my courage and take the contest seriously.I kept remind myself,“If I try my best,I won’t feel regretful,whichever the result is.”In the following days I struggled my goal.At the end,all my efforts paid off.I won first prize,which was much better than what I had expected it.

4.D　标题归纳题。本文主要讲了一位16岁的中学生发明了一种设备,这种设备能让狗和主人视频,让狗在主人离开时不感到焦虑,故选D项。

5.A　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的“...adevicethatallowedpetownerstovideochatwiththeirpets!”可知,iCPooch通过让狗主人和狗视频聊天,从而让狗安静下来。故选A项。

6.C　词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Thesefinalists...areworkingwithmentorsoverthesummer...”可知,这次青年科学家挑战赛的决赛选手已经和指导者一起工作了一个夏天,画线词应表示“指导者”,故选C项。最后一段的withtheguidancefromamentor也是提示。

7.B　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的第二句“Theirprojectsincludeafuelcell...andanappthatrewardsdriversfornottextingorcalling.”可知,这些决赛选手的发明可能帮助解决日常生活中的问题,故选B项。

Ⅱ.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了福特汽车公司的T型汽车,它改变了美国人生活、工作和出行的方式。

2.G　根据上文提到的“亨利·福特在汽车装配线上的巨大改进使T型汽车成为大多数美国人买得起的第一辆车”可知,G项可以和上文构成因果关系。

3.D　上文提到一个时间“in1925”,D项中的“Atthattime...”可与之相衔接。

4.A　根据下文的“Workersstoodinfrontofaconveyorbelt...”可知,此处介绍的是汽车装配线,所以选A项。

5.C　上文提到“今天,人们正在争相提高汽车的效率,并寻找绿色能源来为汽车提供动力”,由此可知,C项“拥有福特创造力的发明家会带来下一次革命吗?”可承接上文。
