Despite the awesme nature f the prblem they were facing, the cuple was spurred n by Selah’s reslutin, “We really, shuld just give away 20 hundred thusand bks,’” Nicle remarks, recalling her daughter’s wrds, The family gt t wrk—starting initiatives such as Prject 500 and their Hliday Bk Drive.
As they began, ne f the main issues the family fund, cntributing t illiteracy, was representatin—children are, nt as excited abut reading when they dn’t find themselves reflected in the pages f the bk. And after realizing that very few f the characters in the stries she’d read lked like her. Selah then decided t write a bk f her wn that features a herine wh lks like her and shares her same interests and sense f adventure. In Nvember 2019, Selah’s first bk Penelpe the Private Princess, was published , and the sequel (续集) just released in December 2020.
“There is s mush inspiratin behind the fact that this is a child that wrte this stry and came up with this” says Khalil. “Yu can reclaim yur stry, d yur wn stry, and d all the things that adults at a at yur yung age and yu shuld really knw that yu have pwer in yur vice and ideas.”

High emplyment, falling inflatin (通货膨胀), and ecnmic grwth. On the surface, the US ecnmy currently seems t be ding great. But as it turns ut, things are nt s rsy fr the average wrking American.
Accrding t a March 6 survey cnducted by the Savings website, 47 percent f parents prvide sme degree f financial supprt t their adult children t help deal with the cst f living struggles.
Gen Zers (defined in the survey as aged 18-27) were fund t be the mst likely generatin t get financial help frm their parents, receiving n average 1,515 dllars (abut 10.950 an) per mnth. Still, many lder parents were fund t be supprting their Millennial (aged 28-43) r Generatin X (aged 44-59) adult children, accunting fr 21 percent f parents prviding supprt. The mst cmmn expenses cited were grceries, tuitin and health insurance, amng thers, reprted The Guardian.
But why are s many US adults, bth yung and ld, struggling t “leave the nest”? One majr reasn is saring fd prices. Accrding t the US Department f Agriculture, fd prices are expected t increase by nearly 2.5 percent acrss the bard in 2024.
Meanwhile, stable husing remains an elusive dream fr many. The average rate fr a 30- year, fixed rate mrtgage (抵押贷款) was almst 8 percent in Octber 2023, said the Mrtgage a Bankers Assciatin. An extremely expensive mrtgage means that many Americans are priced ut f affrding their wn hme.
The final piece f the puzzle is falling salaries. Previus generatins were able t cunt n graduating frm cllege as the key t landing a jb that paid well. But nw, yung US graduates have fund that they earn less than their parents. Accrding t a CNBC analysis, cllege graduate salaries have decreased mre than 10 percent in fur decades after adjusting fr inflatin. In ther wrds, steadily declining salaries make it even harder fr yung Americans t cpe with steadily rising csts.
AS Gen Zers in the US struggle under financial pressures, s d the lder generatins supprting them, as their genersity puts their prspects fr retirement at risk. The Savings website discvered that wrking parents were fund t cntribute “2.4 times mre t supprt adult children than they cntribute t their retirement accunts each mnth”.
Essentially, while the US ecnmy remains aflat, we might witness multiple generatins f Americans sinking in their wn lifebats in the years ahead.
28. What did the March 6 survey find ut abut adult children in the US?
A. Nearly half f them are financially dependent. B. Over half f Gen Zers are financially struggling.
C. Generatin X ften ffer their parents financial aid. D. A majrity f them rely n their parents fr educatin.
29. What des the underlined wrd “elusive” in paragraph 5 mst prbably mean?
A. Easy t realize. B Difficult t achieve. C. Often misunderstd. D. Cmmnly sught after.
30.What can be inferred frm the article abut peple nw in the US?
A. Gvernment plicies favr lder generatins. B. Cllege educatin guarantees a well-paid jb.
C. Salaries fr graduates remain stable in fur decades. D. Financial pressures affect bth the yung and the ld.
31. What is the authr's attitude tward the future prspects f Americans?

The human brain is a pwerful natural cmputer that has evlved ver tens f thusands f years. But what wuld yu get if yu cmbined this bilgical cmputer with areal ne?
Researchers at Indiana University Blmingtn in the US have linked human brain-like tissues t an electrnic chip, which can perfrm simple cmputer tasks. Their creatin, named Brainware, is part f a grwing field called bilgical cmputing that might ne day an d better than current cmputers, accrding t Nature.
The brain-like tissues the researchers used, als，knwn as brain rganids (类器官) weren’t part f a living persn’s brain. They were “grwn” frm human stem cells, which are capable f prducing different types f cells and frming bdy tissues. It tk tw mnths fr the stem cells t mature int an rganid.
The researchers then placed ne rganid nt an electrnic chip with thusands f electrdes (电极). Althugh rganids are much simpler and smaller than an actual brain, they act similarly t human brains, such as respnding t electrical signals, which is What ur brain des all the time. These respnses lead t changes in the brain, which fuel ur ability t learn. T test Brainware, the researchers used it fr vice recgnitin by training it with 240 Japanese recrdings spken by eight speakers. They fund that the rganid reacted different tward each vice. With an accuracy f 78 percent, it successfully identified the speakers by shwing different neural activities.
What’s special abut Brainware is that researchers can take advantage f the rganid’s cmplexity withut understanding its cell netwrks, accrding t Daily Mail. In ther wrds, scientists dn’t need t knw exactly hw the rganid wrks in rder t use it.
Accrding t the researchers' wrk published in December, cmbining rganids and electrnic chips culd increase the speed and efficiency f AI in the future. Als, such mdels can be used t study human brains, accrding t Nature. Using Brainware t mdel and study neurlgical disrders, such as Alzheimer s disease, is ne example. It culd als be used t test the effects f different treatments fr such diseases. “That’s where the prmise is: using the t ne day hpefully replace animal mdels f the brain,” Arti Ahluwalia, a researcher in Taly, tld Nature.
32. What d we knw abut the tissues used by the researchers?
A. They were artificially cnstructed. B. They frmed a cmplete human brain.
C. They were harvested frm dead human bdies. D. They were cultured frm specific human cells.
33. What success did Brinware achieve in the vice recgnitin test?
A. Distinguishing the vices between speakers. B. Understanding the cntent f the recrdings.
C. Shwing preferences fr sme f the vices. D. Crrectly matching all the speakers with their vices.
34. What makes Brainware special, accrding t Daily Mail?
A. Its cmplexity is easy t learn and understand. B. It pens up new pssibilities fr studying human brains.
C. Its cell netwrks are the same as thse f human brains. D. N in-depth knwledge f rganids is needed t use it.
35. What des the last paragraph fcus n regarding Brainware?
A. Its underlying prblems.B. Its ptential applicatins.
C. Its influence n AI technlgy.D. Its cntributin t animal welfare.

详细解析：（龚露高考英语公众号）
A篇
A篇是一篇宣传。文章介绍了一场面向高中生的科技博览会，包含虚拟现实、编程和机器人等互动活动，以及科技领域的专业人士分享经验，旨在激发学生对科技的兴趣和创新能力。
21. B 上来第一题问写作对象。The High Schl Creatr Exp是一个怎么样的机构？根据做题经验通常第一段便有答案，”The High Schl Creatr Exp is a melting pt f hands-n activities, interactive demnstratins, and educatinal wrkshps that bring the wnders f science and technlgy t life.“（高中创作者博览会是一个汇集了动手活动、互动演示和教育工作坊的盛会，将科学与技术的奇妙世界生动展现出来。），其中”a melting pt f...“比较难翻译。因此这可能是一个科技组织，再快速浏览下面强调的部分，大部分都是集中培养个人的科技能力。因此，写作对象最有可能是科技爱好者。其他均没有依据，其中D项，tutr是导师的意思。
22. C 这道题的依据在Highlight部分的第二段”They’ll share their experiences, ffer advice n career paths, and answer yur questins, helping yu chart yur tech-driven future.“（他们将分享他们的经验，就职业道路提供建议，并回答您的问题，帮助您规划由技术驱动的未来。）这直接对应了C项。其中A项推广产品，不对；B项有一个求职面试也不对，没有提到直接给你提供工作；D项太大了。
23. A 这篇文章主要来自于一篇学校报纸。因为最直接的就是就是他是以高中冠名的。其他的也可以用排除法，这不是学术文章排除B项。C项有迷惑性，要好好翻译，这不是科技类说明文。更不是项目手册，更像是一种宣传。
B篇
B篇是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了一名5岁女孩因看到同龄人识字困难而发起的读书项目，帮助提高儿童识字率，并创作了自己的书，呼吁儿童通过故事表达自我。
24．C 这道题要求逻辑推理。首先要知道题干中Khslil提到的”the practice f prisns“是什么，在第二段中指的是“The statistics said sme prisns frecast the number f prisn cells they are ging t build in the future based n third-grade reading test scres.”（统计数据显示，一些监狱根据三年级阅读测试成绩预测了未来将建造的牢房数量。）侧面说明了文盲率越高，犯罪率越高。这与C项“为了暗示文盲的结果”相符合。
25. B 这种题目需要仔细翻译第三段内容。这段比较难翻译“be spurred n”(受到激励)。如果词汇量够大，直接是对应了B项。其他均用排除法可以一一排除，注意选项中的一些限定词容易无中生有。
26. C 该题的依据在第四段，“As they began, ne f the main issues the family fund, cntributing t illiteracy, was representatin—children are, nt as excited abut reading when they dn’t find themselves reflected in the pages f the bk.”（当他们开始时，这个家庭发现的导致文盲的主要问题之一是代表性——当孩子们发现自己没有反映在书中时，他们对阅读并不那么兴奋）也就是图书的代表性不足，选择C项。
27. D 这本书是Selah为了解决儿童图书代表性问题而写的一本书。倒数第二段有句话“Selah then decided t write a bk f her wn that features a herine wh lks like her and shares her same interests and sense f adventure.”（Selah随后决定写一本自己的书，书中的女主角长得像她，有着相同的兴趣和冒险精神。）因此，很容易得出D项，注意细节。
C篇
C篇是一篇经济分析文。文章分析了尽管美国经济数据看似良好，但多代人面临生活成本压力，年轻人难以独立，父母因此推迟退休计划。
28. A 该题也有直接的依据，在文章的第二段“Accrding t a March 6 survey cnducted by the Savings website, 47 percent f parents prvide sme degree f financial supprt t their adult children t help deal with the cst f living struggles.”（根据储蓄网站3月6日进行的一项调查，47%的父母为成年子女提供一定程度的经济支持，以帮助他们应对生活成本问题。），这就对应了A项中的将近一半的成年子女经济上是不独立的。其他的不要想太多。
29. B 这道题倒不是很难，首先第四段谈到这种现象发生的原因之一是食物价格的上涨。第五段开始，有“Meanwhile“这说明在谈第二个原因，即稳定的住所。这是一个大多数人来说难以实现的梦想。
30. D 该题的依据在倒数第二段”AS Gen Zers in the US struggle under financial pressures, s d the lder generatins supprting them, as their genersity puts their prspects fr retirement at risk.“（当美国的Z世代在经济压力下挣扎时，支持他们的老一辈人也是如此，因为他们的慷慨使他们的退休前景面临风险。）所以，不管是年轻人还是老人都面临着经济压力。
31. C 这里还是考查翻译能力。在文章的最后一段”Essentially, while the US ecnmy remains aflat, we might witness multiple generatins f Americans sinking in their wn lifebats in the years ahead.“（从本质上讲，在美国经济保持运转的同时，我们可能会在未来几年目睹几代美国人在自己的救生艇上沉没。）所以，作者的态度比较悲观。
D篇
D篇是一篇科技报道。文章介绍了研究人员通过将类脑器官与电子芯片结合，展示了在生物计算领域的突破，未来可能用于提高AI效率或研究神经疾病。
第32题 D 根据文章第三段”The brain-like tissues the researchers used, als，knwn as brain rganids (类器官) weren’t part f a living persn’s brain. They were “grwn” frm human stem cells, which are capable f prducing different types f cells and frming bdy tissues.“（研究人员使用的类脑组织，也被称为类器官，不是活人大脑的一部分。它们是由人类干细胞“生长”而来的，干细胞能够产生不同类型的细胞并形成身体组织。）因此，这是一种特定的人类细胞。
33. A 在声音识别测试中Brinware实现了什么？依据在第三段后面，”T test Brainware, the researchers used it fr vice recgnitin by training it with 240 Japanese recrdings spken by eight speakers. They fund that the rganid reacted different tward each vice. With an accuracy f 78 percent, it successfully identified the speakers by shwing different neural activities.“（为了测试Brainware，研究人员使用它进行语音识别，用八个说话者说的240段日语录音对其进行训练。他们发现，类器官对每种声音的反应都不同。准确率为78%，它通过显示不同的神经活动成功地识别了说话者。）它对每种声音的反应都不同说明他能识别不同的声音。
34. D 根据倒数第二段，”What’s special abut Brainware is that researchers can take advantage f the rganid’s cmplexity withut understanding its cell netwrks, accrding t Daily Mail. In ther wrds, scientists dn’t need t knw exactly hw the rganid wrks in rder t use it.“（据《每日邮报》报道，Brainware的独特之处在于，研究人员可以在不了解其细胞网络的情况下利用类器官的复杂性。换句话说，科学家不需要确切地知道类器官是如何工作的，就可以使用它。）因此，这直接对应了D项。
35. B 该题比较简单，通读最后一段就可以知道，Brainware未来可能在人工智能喝医疗等领域发挥作用。
七选五
36-40 CGEDA
这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了关于雨声的一些知识。
36. A 根据下文“Rain sunds can mask ther sharper nises in yur envirnment.”(雨声可以掩善你周围环境中其他更尖锐的噪音。)可知，本段主要讲雨声可以掩盖其它声音。故A选项“雨声掩盖了其他声音。”切题。故选A项。
37. C 根据上文“With a masking backgrund f wind in the leaves r a sft rain, the drip wuld never be detected.”(有了树叶上的风或柔和的雨的掩蔽背景，滴水声永远不会被发现。)可知，选项承接上文说明雨声的作用。故C选项“所以雨声可以创造一种平静的背景噪音。”切题。故选C项。
38. D 根据上文“By masking backgrund sunds,rain tacks might seem like they're just rdinary white——but they aren't.(通过掩盖背景音，雨声可能nise看起来只是普通的白噪音——但事实并非如此。)”和下文“which are named after clrs.”(它们以颜色命名)可知，选项承接下文说明白色噪音的定义。故D选项“白噪音是一个专业术语，指各种各样的声音”切题。故选D项。
39. E 根据上文“'In additin t helping peple fall asleep, rain sunds can be simply relaxing.”(雨声除了能帮助人们入睡，还能让人放松。)和下文“As evidence pints t their psychlgical benefits,including increased cgnitive (认知的) capacity and reduced anxiety and stress.(有证据表明，它们对心理有好处，包括提高认知能力、减少焦虑和压力。)”可知，选项承接上文说明其原因。故E选项“这可能是因为它们是一种自然的声音”切题。其中选项中的they指代前文提到的rain sunds。故选E项。
40. G 根据上文“Rain sunds might help sme peple, but they're nt fr everyne.”(雨声可能对某些人有帮助，但并不适合所有人)和后文“One persn's gentle rain is anther's fd wrry r need t g t the bathrm.(一个人的细雨是另一个人的食物担忧或上厕所的需要。)”可知，不同的人对雨声会有不同的反应。故G选项““不同的声音会引起不同的反应，这取决于个体。”切题。故选G项。
