Girls took the top five prizes at the 2019 Broadcom MASTERS, a competition for middle school students across the country. The winners were announced last month.
In first place was 14-year-old Alaina Gassier. She designed a system to make driving safer by reducing blind spots the areas that drivers cannot see outside their vehicle. Gassier developed the technology while in eighth grade.
“She, along with the entire Class of 2019, is already leaders in their fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM),” said Paula Golden, president of the Broadcom Foundation. “These young inventors give every one of us hope for the future.”
The Broadcom MASTERS competition is a project of the Society for Science & the Public. The program was set up to encourage young people to attend college and pursue careers in STEM fields. The winners were honored tor their STEM successes, as well as for showing skills in critical thinking, communication, creativity and team-work.
This year, all the major awards in the competition went to girls. The top prize winner, Aliana Gassier, says she got the idea for her project after seeing her mother struggle with blind spots in her family’s car. Blind spots lead to many accidents—about 840,000 accidents a year nationwide.
Gassler’s system helps drivers see “through” the A-frame pillar (A柱)—the part of the vehicle, in the front, that joins the top and front window. The A-frame pillar is important for safety, and cannot be taken oil. Gassier used a camera to help drivers look “through” the structure to see what is blocked. The camera sends video to a device (设备) that shows images on the other side of the pillar. The driver then can “see” what’s in the blind spot.
The young inventor won a $25,000 prize for her invention. She told Popular Mechanics she could make improvements on her device with that money. Gassier said she wanted to improve the picture—making it easy to see in any weather, or time of day. She also told the magazine she hoped to sell her idea.
38．Why did Gassier receive an award?
A．For her interest in science. B．For her STEM success.
C．For the vehicle knowledge. D．For her communication.
39．From the underlined sentence in paragraph 5, we can know ___________.
A．the reasons why the mother struggled B．the great need of STHM education
C．the great value of Gassler’s invention D．the poor quality of family vehicles
40．What is paragraph 6 mainly about?
A．How Gassler’s system works.
B．Why the A-frame pillar is important.
C．When Gassler’s system helps.
D．What arc included in her inventions.
41．What is the best title for the passage?
A．A $25,000 Prize for a competition
B．Students compete in science
C．Middle School STEM education
D．Girls take top science prizes

Type in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask the robot to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who clawed his way past many difficulties to sing among the stars.
This robot writer is real. It’s called ChatGPT. From writing Shakespeare-style poetry to making music, ChatGPT has amazed the world since its launch out in late 2022 by the US company OpenAI. It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes. It’s one of the most powerful AT of its kind, with the complete writing abilities of a real person!
People around the world have tried ChatGPT and posted their results on social media. Some used it to write history reports, some asked it to take notes of presentations, and some even asked advice on how to communicate with people at a party, reported The Atlantic.
The power of ChatGPT lies in its speed and understanding of complicated(复杂的) matters. We may spend hours researching, understanding and writing an article on the theory of evolution(进化论). Another good thing about it is that if you ask dark, harmful question, such as how to make weapons(武器), it will not give you an answer.
ChatGPT comes along at a time when AI is becoming increasingly able to do creative tasks. There is no doubt that ChatGPT is a powerful tool. However, some schools in the US, Ausiralia and France have students and teachers from using ChatGPT on the local networks and computers, CNN reported. The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on homework. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread improper information.
“It does not build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills,” said Jenna Lyle from the New York City Department of Education. “The materials they create arc difficult to tell from those made by humans. This causes many problems, such as the issue of copyright(版权). Since the system is largely trained using words from the internet, it can also pick up on the Internet’s biases(偏见). These are all the things that depend on humans to solve.”
42．The cat story was written to ______.
A．show what creative work ChatGPT can do
B．introduce a cat that wants to go to space
C．introduce a series of bedtime books
D．show how robots create scientific research
43．Paragraph 3 is mainly about ______.
A．the disadvantages of ChatGPT
B．the most popular report of ChatGPT
C．what people think about ChatGPT
D．how ChatGPT has helped people so far
44．Which sentence should go in the empty box in the fourth paragraph?
A．But ChatGPT can write almost anything humans can write.
B．But ChatGPT is faster and safer compared with human writing.
C．But ChatGPT can produce a well-written one in seconds.
D．But ChatGPT is a powerful tool to spread information.
45．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．How people feel about writing in the future.
B．What problems A1 writing can cause.
C．People’s wrong ideas about AT writing.
D．Human efforts in developing A1 writing.

六、阅读回答问题
阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。（每题答案不超过10个词）
As any younger brother will tell you, having a big brother has a lot of walking in someone else’s shadow（影子）, especially when you have a brother who is an example of “cool”. For years I wanted to do everything my elder brother Tyson did, but no matter how hard I tried, I was always receiving less attention. My legs just weren’t made to run like his. I could never play football or basketball well.
I probably would have continued trying to keep up with him for the rest of my high school career, but when my family moved, everything changed. Tyson left for college, so I attended a new school all by myself. This new start gave me a chance to know myself and discover a new definition（定义）of “cool”.
I don’t know what made me decide to try some new activities at the new school, but one day I happened to attend an after-school meeting of the Science Olympiad team. I had always been interested in chemistry, biology, and math,but since those interests hadn’t fit Tyson’s definition of “cool”. I had never studied them further. On this day, for some reason, I did.
As we organized teams, prepared resources and practiced answering questions, I felt more connected that I ever had to any sports team. I didn’t feel as though I needed to keep up with anybody else; I was finally with partners who understood me. It was so good to feel accepted for what I’m good at. For the first time in my life, I felt cool. Now I know who I am! I’m Tyson’s little brother, but that’s only part of my identity（身份）. I’m cool in my own way, too. I’m happy to know that “cool” has a much broader definition than what I used to think.
56．What was Tyson good at according to Paragraph 1?

57．What does “this new start” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

58．Why had the writer never studied his favourite subjects further?

59．What does the last Paragraph mainly talk about?

60．What is your example of “cool”? Why?

76．例文
Good morning，everyone！
My name is Li Hua. It’s my great pleasure to talk about “core abilities” today. I think sports and life-long learning are the core abilities that we should have.
First of all, health is more important than wealth. So we should pay more attention to our health. It’s necessary for us to spend more time doing sports to keep healthy. We students need to make a plan of exercising and do sports for at least twenty minutes every day.
Next, with the rapid development of science and technology, we must have the ability of life-long learning to meet the needs of our work and life. I think the best way of keeping life-long learning is to learn by ourselves. We can learn from book, Internet or even radios. Only by doing this can we take on new challenges any time.
I hope that everyone can keep doing sports and keep learning to make ourselves and our life better.
That’s all for my speech. Thank you for your listening!
