Sarah Park has known about the effect of music on the brain since a young age. The 13-year-old, who has been playing violin since she was 4, says she noticed its positive effect on those around her, especially her grandmother, who suffered from a mental health illness.
Now, Sarah Park, the middle-schooler hopes to use music therapy (疗法) to help others struggling with mental health. Her invention, Spark Care+, earned her the title of America's Top Young Scientist at the 3M Young Scientist Challenge on October 19, 2021. “I was pretty shocked when they announced my name as the grand prize winner,” Park said. “I am excited and thrilled with what's to come next with Spark Care+.”
Spark Care+ requires participants to respond to a series of questions based on the Hamilton Anxiety and Depression Scale, designed to assess the person's mental state. The device's inbuilt sensors record vital mental health indicators, such as heart rate and blood pressure. Spark Care+ 's AI (Artificial Intelligence) component analyzes the information and recommends the appropriate music to help lift the participant's spirits. It also monitors its impact on the listener.
In addition to being an inventor, Park is also a musical prodigy (天才) who has won several violin competitions, including the Florida state championship. She also plays the piano and is a math champion. The teen aspires to be an innovator and researcher in the medical field using technology and robotics. Her advice to other young scientists? “Dream big, ask questions, and anything is possible.”
Now in its 14th year, the 3M Young Scientist Challenge is an annual national competition that invites students in grades 5-8 to find a unique solution to an everyday problem. In addition to the well-renowned title of “America's Top Young Scientist”, the grand prize winner receives a special guidance of a 3M scientist, a $25, 000 cash prize, and a special destination trip.

A new study focuses on K2-18b an exoplanet(系外行星) discovered in 2018, which orbits a red dwarf star close enough to receive about the same amount of radiation from its star as Earth does from our sun.
Recently, scientists have discovered gas giants that have water in their atmospheres, but this is the least giant planet ever to have water detected in its atmosphere. “The water detection was quite clear to us relatively early on,” lead author Bjorn Benneke, a professor at the Institute for Research on Exoplanets at the Universite de Montreal, told Space.com in an interview.
“Studies have suggested that planets with hydrogen-rich atmospheres could host certain forms of life.” Benneke said. However, “K2-18b’s large atmosphere is extremely thick and creates high-pressure conditions, which likely prevents life as we know it from existing on the planet’s surface.” a news release reads. While these researchers found evidence for liquid water clouds on K2-18b, because of its lack of surface, rain wouldn’t pool on the planet. Without a real surface, so to speak, landing on the planet would also be nearly impossible to land on, especially because the gas is so thick and has such an incredibly high pressure that any Earth-created spacecraft sent there would be destroyed.
Benneke suggests that, possibly, this planet formed by rock absorbing large amounts of gas, “like a vacuum cleaner,” he said. The gas absorbed would have more than doubled the planet and increased its volume Warren eightfood.
To come to these conclusions, the research team analyzed data from Hubble Space Telescope observations that they made between 2019 and 2020 of the K2-18b planet passing in front of its star eight times. This type of research, Benneke said, is leading toward a final goal of “being able to study real, true earth-like planets.” We are not quite there yet, he said, but this is really exciting.”
8. Why is it impossible to land on the K2-18b?
A. It has thin gas. B. It doesn’t have a real surface.
C. It has too much water. D. It is too far from the earth.
9. How does K2-18b expand according to Benneke?
A. By releasing gas itself. B. By receiving radiation from the sun.
C. By taking in much gas by rocks. D. By getting away from the red dwarf star.
10. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Scientists are making progress in studying real earth-like planets.
B. It is impossible for humans to land on other earth-like planets.
C. Scientists have succeeded in exploring K2-18b completely.
D. The K2-18b planet has passed before its star eight times between 2019 and 2020.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The exploration of the outer space.
B. The study of solar systems’ environment.
C. The discovery of the K2-18b planet.
D. The research on the K2-18b planet.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了K2-18b行星的新发现。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Without a real surface, so to speak, landing on the planet would also be nearly impossible to land on, (可以说，没有一个真正的表面，在行星上着陆几乎是不可能的)”可知，在K2-18b行星上着陆是不可能的，因为它没有真正的表面。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The gas absorbed would have more than doubled the planet and increased its volume Warren eightfood. (吸收的这种气体将使地球增加一倍以上，使其体积增加8倍）”可知，K2-18b是通过岩石吸入大量气体扩张的。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“This type of research, Benneke said, is leading toward a final goal of “being able to study real, true earth-like planets.” We are not quite there yet, he said, but this is really exciting. (这种类型的研究正朝着“能够研究真正的类地球行星”的最终目标前进。我们还没有到达那里，但这真的很令人兴奋)”可知，科学家在研究类地球行星方面取得了进展。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“A new study focuses on K2-18b, an exoplanet(系外行星) discovered in 2018, (一项新的研究将注意力集中在2018年发现的系外行星，K2-18b上)”可知本文主要介绍对K2-18b行星的研究。故选D。

One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company. He passed the first interview and then the director did the last interview to make the last decision. The director discovered from the CV that the youth's academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research. Never did he have a year when he did not score.
The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?" The youth answered, "None."
The director asked, "Was it your father who paid for your school fees?" The youth answered, "My father passed away when I was one year old, so it was my mother who paid for all my school fees."
The director asked, "What did your mother do?" The youth answered, "My mother worked as a clothes cleaner." The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.
The director asked, "Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?" The youth answered, "Never. My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me."
The director said, "I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother's hands, and then see me back here tomorrow morning."

【答案】Paragraph 1: Feeling his high chance of landing the job, when he went back home, the youth happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid. It was the first time he had noticed that there were so many bruises in her hands. His tears fell as he cleaned her hands. This was the first time he had realized that it was the bruises in the mother’s hands that were the price that the mother had to pay for his graduation, academic excellence and his future. After finishing the cleaning of his mother’s hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother. That night, mother and son talked for a very long time. The next morning, the youth went to the director’s office. （121 words）
Paragraph 2: The director noticed the tears in the youth’s eyes and asked, “What have you done and learned, young man?” The youth answered, “I cleaned my mother’s hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes.” The director nodded, “Please tell me your feelings.” The youth said, “Firstly, I know now what appreciation is. Without my mother, there would not be the successful me today. Additionally, by working together and helping my mother, I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done. Ultimately, I have learned to appreciate the importance and value of family relationship.” The director smiled, “This is what I am looking for to be my manager. You are hired. Congratulations!” （107 words）

Spark Care+ requires participants to respond to a series of questions based on the Hamilton Anxiety and Depression Scale, designed to assess the person's mental state. The device's inbuilt sensors record vital mental health indicators, such as heart rate and blood pressure. Spark Care+ 's AI (Artificial Intelligence) component analyzes the information and recommends the appropriate music to help lift the participant's spirits. It also monitors its impact on the listener.
In addition to being an inventor, Park is also a musical prodigy (天才) who has won several violin competitions, including the Florida state championship. She also plays the piano and is a math champion. The teen aspires to be an innovator and researcher in the medical field using technology and robotics. Her advice to other young scientists? “Dream big, ask questions, and anything is possible.”

A new study focuses on K2-18b an exoplanet(系外行星) discovered in 2018, which orbits a red dwarf star close enough to receive about the same amount of radiation from its star as Earth does from our sun.
Recently, scientists have discovered gas giants that have water in their atmospheres, but this is the least giant planet ever to have water detected in its atmosphere. “The water detection was quite clear to us relatively early on,” lead author Bjorn Benneke, a professor at the Institute for Research on Exoplanets at the Universite de Montreal, told Space.com in an interview.
“Studies have suggested that planets with hydrogen-rich atmospheres could host certain forms of life.” Benneke said. However, “K2-18b’s large atmosphere is extremely thick and creates high-pressure conditions, which likely prevents life as we know it from existing on the planet’s surface.” a news release reads. While these researchers found evidence for liquid water clouds on K2-18b, because of its lack of surface, rain wouldn’t pool on the planet. Without a real surface, so to speak, landing on the planet would also be nearly impossible to land on, especially because the gas is so thick and has such an incredibly high pressure that any Earth-created spacecraft sent there would be destroyed.
Benneke suggests that, possibly, this planet formed by rock absorbing large amounts of gas, “like a vacuum cleaner,” he said. The gas absorbed would have more than doubled the planet and increased its volume Warren eightfood.
To come to these conclusions, the research team analyzed data from Hubble Space Telescope observations that they made between 2019 and 2020 of the K2-18b planet passing in front of its star eight times. This type of research, Benneke said, is leading toward a final goal of “being able to study real, true earth-like planets.” We are not quite there yet, he said, but this is really exciting.”
8. Why is it impossible to land on the K2-18b?
A. It has thin gas. B. It doesn’t have a real surface.
C. It has too much water. D. It is too far from the earth.
9. How does K2-18b expand according to Benneke?
A. By releasing gas itself. B. By receiving radiation from the sun.
C. By taking in much gas by rocks. D. By getting away from the red dwarf star.
10. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Scientists are making progress in studying real earth-like planets.
B. It is impossible for humans to land on other earth-like planets.
C. Scientists have succeeded in exploring K2-18b completely.
D. The K2-18b planet has passed before its star eight times between 2019 and 2020.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The exploration of the outer space.
B. The study of solar systems’ environment.
C. The discovery of the K2-18b planet.
D. The research on the K2-18b planet.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了K2-18b行星的新发现。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Without a real surface, so to speak, landing on the planet would also be nearly impossible to land on, (可以说，没有一个真正的表面，在行星上着陆几乎是不可能的)”可知，在K2-18b行星上着陆是不可能的，因为它没有真正的表面。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The gas absorbed would have more than doubled the planet and increased its volume Warren eightfood. (吸收的这种气体将使地球增加一倍以上，使其体积增加8倍）”可知，K2-18b是通过岩石吸入大量气体扩张的。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“This type of research, Benneke said, is leading toward a final goal of “being able to study real, true earth-like planets.” We are not quite there yet, he said, but this is really exciting. (这种类型的研究正朝着“能够研究真正的类地球行星”的最终目标前进。我们还没有到达那里，但这真的很令人兴奋)”可知，科学家在研究类地球行星方面取得了进展。故选A。
【11题详解】

Wang Zhiguo, chairman and president of Shenzhen Skyworth-RGB Electronic, said the company is committed to providing a complete 8K solution that covers 8K video cameras, monitors, content creation and cloud operating systems, and expands application in a wide range of fields such as aerial photography, education, healthcare and advertising.
The company uncovered its new 8K TV product Q71, which supports 8K signal reception, decoding, image signal processing and screen display. The 8K TVs have a screen resolution ratio that is 4.3 times clearer than human eyesight and four times higher than the 4K ones. 8K UHD livestreaming and cloud-based broadcasting will give viewers a more immersive experience.
“5G offers technological support for the adoption of 8K, while 8K is one of the best application scenarios of the superfast wireless technology, ” said Wu Wei, chief engineer of Skyworth, adding 5G has the advantages of high speed, large capacity and low latency, which brings about a good opportunity for the popularization of 8K ultra-high definition TV.

The director asked, "What did your mother do?" The youth answered, "My mother worked as a clothes cleaner." The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.
The director asked, "Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?" The youth answered, "Never. My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me."
The director said, "I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother's hands, and then see me back here tomorrow morning."

The next morning, the youth went to the director’s office. （121 words）

Ultimately, I have learned to appreciate the importance and value of family relationship.” The director smiled, “This is what I am looking for to be my manager. You are hired. Congratulations!” （107 words）
