Any teenager can take part.BWhen you picture doing a science project, you might imagine peering through a microscope or building a model volcano. But science projects can be done anywhere. Many teens get inspired from playing musical instruments to doing gymnastics. All it takes to transform your favorite activities into a science project is identifying a problem you want to solve.Elizabeth, 14,who is in seventh grade at Davis Drive Middle School in Cary, N. C, designed a program. Her method is based on the golden ratio（比例）.This ratio is often used to create pleasing parts in artworks. The ratio also appears in nature. Elizabeth＇s data storage strategy helps computers write data evenly（均匀地） across memory devices. This could help such devices last longer.“As long as I can remember, I've been an artistic person,” Elizabeth said, “In fourth grade, my art teacher taught us about the golden ratio. And at that point it was just. you know, something to use when we were painting." But last year, Elizabeth had to replace the memory in her own computer, thinking the golden ratio might work in tech, too. Elizabeth tested her golden-ratio technique by running programs on a computer.But before this project. Elizabeth had no coding experience. To prepare, she spent months reading textbook on how to code. She says. “It wasn’t like an ‘ah-ha’ moment. Writing algorithms（程序）is such a boring process. But it was just cool to explore and see the computer actually just doing stuff that I told it to do after those hours.”“Don't limit yourself,” Elizabeth adds. “One of the biggest challenges you face is changing your mindset. I never thought that science or computer science would be my kind of thing, but after learning a bit about programming, I found that it was actually a new way to express myself. Words, painting, now programming.”24. What can we learn about science projects according to this passage?
A.They need skills in building models.C.They can come from different hobbies.B.They may involve great imagination.D.They will inspire teens to find solutions.
25. What is Elizabeth's programming used for?
A.Creating fine works.C.Strengthening memories.B.Protecting nature.D.Storing information.
26. Where did Elizabeth get inspiration for her program?

27.Which proverb explains Elizabeth's story best?
A.The early bird catches the worm.C.Rome was not built in a day.B.Many hands make light work.D.Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.
CThe chatbot ChatGPT. developed by American company OpenAI, has taken the world by storm in the past few months. This new research, however, has not been welcomed in education as expected.

The move from the nation's largest school system could have ripple effects as districts and schools across the country grapple with how to respond to the arrival of the dynamic new technology.In addition, Sciences Po in Europe. A number of Canadian universities. and several Australian states are developing policies on student use of ChatGPT.Vice president at UBC Vancouver, Simon Bates, said that all AI tools come with both potential benefits and real challenges， adding that the university is in the process of developing a newsletter（简报）and FAQ （frequently asked questions） as part of its educative approach to academic integrity（诚信）.In order to find out what the public thinks about using ChatGPT in schools, online course provider Study. com surveyed more than 100 educators and more than 1.000 students over the age of 18. The results showed that72% of college professors who are aware of ChatGPT,are concerned about its impact on cheating. Over a third (34%) of all educators believe that ChatGPT should be banned in schools and universities. 66% support students having access to it.Surprisingly,72% of college students believe that ChatGPT should be banned from their college's network.28.What is the attitude of the education departments towards ChatGPT?A.Neutral.B.Approval.C.Disapproval.D.Ambiguous.29.

DThe effect of television on children has been debated ever since the first sets were turned on. Now three new studies find that too much tube time can lower test scores, affect learning and even predict college performance.In the first report, researchers studied the effect that having a TV in a child's bedroom can have on third graders. Dina L. G. Borzekowski, an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and her colleague, Dr.Thomas Robinson of Stanford University, collected data on 386 third graders and their parents about the time children spent watching TV. The researchers found that children who have a TV in their bedrooms are likely to have a score that is eight points lower on maths and language tests compared with children who don't have a TV in the bedrooms.In the second report,Dr.Robert J.Hancox from the University of Otago in Dunedin,New Zealand, and colleagues found, regardless of your intelligence or social background, if you watch a lot of TV during childhood, you are a lot less likely to have a college degree by your mid-20s. In their study, the researchers followed 1,037 people born in 1972 and 1973. Every two years, between the ages of 5 and 15,they were asked how much television they watched. The researchers found that those who watched the most television during these years had earned fewer degrees by the time they were 26.“We found that the more television the child had watched, the more likely they were to leave school without any qualifications,”  Hancox said in a prepared statement.In the third paper, Frederick J. Zimmerman and Dr.Dimitri  A.Christakis from the University of Washington report that,for very young children, watching TV can result in lower test scores in mathematics, reading recognition and reading comprehension. “We looked at how much television children watched before age 3 and then at ages 3 to 5,"Zimmerman said. “We found that for children who watched a small amount of TV in the earlier years, there was considerable beneficial effect compared to children who watched a lot of TV.”One expert believes that TV can have both positive and negative effects, but it all depends on what children are watching. “Content matters,”  said Deborah L. Line barger, an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania, who co-authored an accompanying editorial. “Educational content has been found to be related to performance on school readiness tests, higher grades when they are teenagers, whereas, non-educational content tends to be associated with lower academic performance."Another expert agrees. “TV watching takes up space that could be used by more useful things,” said Dr.Christopher P. Lucas, “TV is not necessarily toxic, but is something that has to be done in moderation: something that balances the other needs of the child for healthy development.”32. How is the passage developed?
A.By giving examples.C.By explaining the result of studies.B.By listing statistics.D. By presenting data.
33.What do the three reporters have in common?A.The subjects were all third graders.B.They all drew the same conclusion.C.They were all carried out by the same group of researchers.D.They all focused on the link between watching TV and maths scores.34. What does the underlined phrase “in moderation" in the last paragraph mean?
A.In a controlled way.C.In a reflective way.B.In a modern way.D.In a casual way.
35. What does this passage mainly talk about?A.Watching TV has both positive and negative effects.B.Watching too much TV is linked to lower marks.C.Watching educational content is related to higher grades.D. Watching non-educational content is associated with lower grades in maths.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Many of us were told from an early age that. be it at school or in life, “you learn from your mistakes”.  But is this actually true?The short answer is “yes”-failure can be a teachable moment. But learning from our mistakes is. in reality, very hard because we don't like to fail. It doesn't feelgood. 36 . like giving up on a task prematurely, telling ourselves we don't care whether we succeed, or finding fault with the task itself. This is self-protective, according to Hallgeir Sjåstad, a professor of psychology and leadership at the Norwegian School of Economics.  “Most of us want to think of ourselves as competent and capable” , he says. 37.38.One of them is to adopt a third-person perspective. Instead of asking “Why did I fail?”,  we could ask “Why did Sam fail?", for example. Multiple studies by psychologist Ethan Kross at the University of Michigan show that adopting a third-person perspective helps to soften our negative emotional reactions, allowing us to look at failure more objectively.39 .This strategy led to better levels of motivation and academic success in the test groups-involving both adults and children - that were asked to give advice based on their own failures. Professors Eskreis-Winkler, Fishbach  and Duckworth found that the satisfaction of helping others "forces people to engage with their experience and what they have learned".The writer Samuel Beckett once said:  “fail again, fail better”. 40 . Failure is an inevitable part of life, but by learning to overcome the emotional barriers around it, we may find the road to success is a little easier to navigate（确定）.A.Making mistakes should be considered as a mustB.So we react to failure in impulsive and emotional waysC.So when we fail, it poses a serious threat to our self-imageD.But it now seems that we should be saying: “fail again, fail smarter”E.However, we should do our utmost to avoid making the same mistakes twiceF.A second strategy involves offering advice to others who may be in the same position as usG.Fortunately. there is research to suggest that there are some strategies to help us overcome the emotional barriers around failure第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。On a typical day, off the coast of a small Brazilian island, Joao Pereira de Souza was headed out fishing.
