Sharanya, 14, an eighth grader from Challenger School, built a solar-powered trash-collecting robot, which will play a vital role in taking care of the environment.
Volunteering in local city cleanups, Sharanya was always saddened to see tons of rubbish still out there after hours’ hard work. “People do have very limited time and resources, but robots don’t. They’ll collect double the amount and work for longer hours,” Sharanya says. “I learned from a science journal that solar panels moving to always face the sun collect more energy than stationary ones. So I determined to design a trash-collecting robot powered by a sun- tracking solar panel.”
However, Sharanya had no experience in robotics, so it was a completely new experience. She firmly believed there’s no instant way to success and that it’s just a process of trial and error. Throughout the project, she studied operating instructions repeatedly and had to use tons of power tools and cut pieces of metal to certain lengths. Her dad would come to her rescue whenever she accidentally burned a wire. “It’s difficult to follow the scientific method, but sticking to this and changing just one variable at a time gets you the best results,” Sharanya says.
Sharanya’s robot has trash and recycling bins and moves with motorized wheels. The device’s front and back have object-detecting sensors. One end of the robot has a rubbish- collecting moveable arm with a pan to gather objects and drop them into the trash or recycling bins. This pan also contains a metal-detecting sensor to sort metal recyclables into the appropriate place. A solar panel sits at the robot’s other end, extended into the air. Attached to it is a light- tracking device that follows the sun, enabling the solar panel to move accordingly.
In tests, the sun- tracking solar panel generated more power than a stationary one over six hours. And the robot correctly identified an object every time it was presented. It picked up items and accurately classified aluminum cans as recyclables 80 percent of the time. Sharanya is confident that the robot will soon sort plastic and glass by striking the items and detecting the difference in their frequencies.
24. What led Sharanya to intend a sun- tracking solar panel for the robot
A. Her survey findings. B. The knowledge she acquired.
C. Her social experiences. D. The extra courses she attended.
25. What does paragraph 3 focus on concerning Sharanya
A. What contributed to her success. B. Why she didn’t fear failure.
C. Whether goals counted in her work. D. How she was financially supported.
26. What may be the function of the object- detecting sensors
A. To identify colors. B. To locate metal materials.
C. To discover garbage. D. To analyze moving routes.
27. What does the author mainly want to say in the last paragraph
A. The robot needs retesting. B. The robot reached no desired effect.
C. The robot enjoys wide popularity. D. The robot faces a promising prospect.
C
From the beloved New York Times opinion writer Margaret Renkl comes a “howling (咆哮) love letter to the world”: an insightful book that tracks the passing of seasons.
In The Comfort of Crows (乌鸦), Margaret Renkl presents fifty- two chapters that follow the creatures and plants in her backyard in the state of Tennessee over the course of a year. As we move through the seasons—from a crow spied on an icy New Year’s Day, its resourcefulness and sense of community setting a theme for the year, to the unwillingly departing bluebirds of December, revisiting the nest they used in spring—what develops is a picture of joy and sorrow: joy in the ongoing pleasures of the natural world, and sorrow over winters that end too soon and dramatically decreasing songbird population.
Renkl acknowledges her desperation at the human- caused crises the natural world faces, and her determination not to stand by. “The very least I owe my wild neighbors is a willingness to witness their struggle, to make up for their losses in every way I can, and to speak on their behalf about all the ways I can’t,” she writes.
Renkl makes good on that commitment. She ensures fallen leaves in her yard are left where they were so that insects overwinter and birds can dine there. She also creates a shelter for frogs in the form of a large tank filled with water and frog- friendly plants.
With these steps, Renkl refuses to give up in the face of human- caused global warming that is changing our environment and harming other species. Renk l sees this harm primarily through absences. For two decades, Renk l hasn’t seen a turtle in her yard, and only one grasshopper has appeared in each of the last two years. Fewer birds come as well.
The phenomenon of ecological damage is alarmingly apparent. To help, we humans do require fuel to restore our destroyed spirit. Fortunately, you can find that in Renkl’s book. Find it as well in the informative, original full-color illustrations, all done by the author’s brother Billy Renkl. The animals and plants so valued by Renkl need us now more than ever.
28. What season does the content of the book start with
A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Fall. D. Winter.
29. What can we learn about Renk l from paragraph 3 and 4
A. She’s to blame for environmental issues.
B. She shows her love for animals by action.
C. The last thing she’ll do is sympathize with animals.
D. Her inability to preserve nature discouraged her from attempts.
30. How did Renkl find the harm of global warming to other species
A. By hearsay. B. By official document. C. By journal. D. By personal observation.
31. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to
A. The book. B. Destroyed spirit. C. The fuel. D. Ecological damage.
D
Your mind’s being drawn away while you’re engaging in enjoyable activities can reduce satisfaction and result in over- consuming everyday pleasures later, according to new research.
The study looked at how distraction affects “hedonic consumption”—pleasure-related consumption like buying goods or experiencing cheerful things because they make us feel good and not necessarily because we need them. When distracted while doing a pleasant activity, people are likely to experience less enjoyment from it than if they were fully focused. That may lead to dissatisfaction and drive more consumption to compensate for that shortfall.
The researchers invited 122 participants who reported on how much they expected to enjoy their lunch before eating it and were then asked to eat their lunch under one of three conditions: no distraction, mild distraction (watching a video), and high distraction (playing a video game). After lunch, participants reported on their actual enjoyment, satisfaction, desire for further satisfaction and amount consumed. They also reported on their snacking later in the day.
Participants who ate while distracted reported lower enjoyment and satisfaction, which was associated with increased snacking afterward and a more general desire for further satisfaction.
The researchers also followed 220 participants for weeks to investigate this broader effect beyond food. As with the food-based experiment, they found when people were distracted during consumption, they were likely to enjoy a product less than they hoped, feel less satisfied and need further satisfaction.
“Overconsumption often results due to a lack of self-control,” said lead author Murphy, PhD, of Ghent University. “However, our findings suggest overconsumption may also often be driven by the simple human desire to reach a certain level of enjoyment from an activity. When distraction gets in the way, it’s likely we may try to compensate by consuming more.”
Murphy and his team plan to conduct more research to confirm the existence of a hedonic compensation effect. If it’s confirmed, they intend to apply interventions that could help people pay more attention to their consumption experiences in an effort to lower the likelihood of overconsumption. “By understanding the key drivers of hedonic overconsumption, we can develop strategies to prevent its occurrence,” said Murphy.
32. What do the underlined words “compensate for” mean in paragraph 2
A. Add to. B. Look into. C. Make up for. D. Put up with.
33. Participants who are eating but attracted to video games tend to ________ soon.
A. have refreshments B. purchase luxuries
C. watch more videos D. hang about with partners
34. What may be the newly found driver of overconsumption according to Murphy
A. Divided attention. B. Addiction to games.
C. Others’ interventions. D. Lack of self- discipline.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. There exist data errors in the study.
B. The study outcomes deserve further proof.
C. Overconsumption will be rooted out in the near future.
D. Murphy’s solutions to overconsumption are conventional.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever sat in front of a blank canvas (画布), just out of ideas and feeling completely uninspired 36 The good news is that as an artist you can develop that ability.
The best way is to have as many experiences as possible. The more experiences you have, the more ideas will flow to your artwork. 37 If you want to draw birds, you must watch how they move, discuss them with knowledgeable professionals and view other artists’ works of the same subject. It’ll boost your creativity towards what you wish to paint.
Making notes of your thoughts and reactions can also be a useful tool. Some artists feel content simply by drawing their reactions and emotions, but others find more understanding in their experiences by recording things to later process. 38
Join an art community and reach out to those like-minded. 39 Surrounding yourself with fellow art lovers will push you to explore diverse areas of the art world. Remember such experiences are fuel for creativity.
40 You just need to know how to develop that creativity intentionally. It’s a skill that takes attention, but once cultivated, it can enable you to create more impressive works of art.
A. Creativity doesn’t always come naturally.
B. Plus, you need to investigate the experiences.
C. New ideas can give a whole fresh meaning to life.
D. Ask them how they exercise and enhance creativity.
E. Learning how to be more creative in art couldn’t be easier.
F. Carry a journal around and take down what catches your eye.
G. We have the false impression that artists are simply born with talents.

Eleven-year-old Jack was selling balloons in a park one day over a long holiday weekend when he stepped upon a wallet. After picking it up, he searched the wallet to identify the owner and found some $100 notes, some loose change and a key card inside. He didn’t hesitate to do the right thing: according to the sign on the key card, he found where the owner lived.
Seventeen-year-old Chase had lost his wallet earlier that day while out fishing with his friends. He had searched and searched, but in vain. Eventually, Chase returned home and found his wallet sent back in the gate house of the community. But the one who sent the wallet had left without leaving his name or address When the family were talking about the story later that day, they decided that they wanted to do something to pay back the finder’s kindness. But what could they do They didn’t know who the finder was, not to mention his address. Could they find him
It was when they were at a loss that a good idea occurred to Chase’s mother, Michelle: they could check the monitor recording of the gate house. Luckily, they got a picture of the boy. She quickly made a Facebook post using the photo, describing the boy’s honest act and expressing how the family were hoping to meet him to convey their thanks in person.
In no time at all, some people in the community recognised Jack and informed Michelle. When Michelle and her family got contact with Jack, they were surprised to learn just what Jack’s family had been going through.
Jack’s father had recently recovered from a disease but was still suffering from the aftereffects. He had difficulty breathing and wasn’t allowed to return to his job at a meat packing plant. So that was the reason why the boy had to sell balloons to help support the family.

Good morning, everyone!
Today, I’d like to deliver a speech on“ Failure and Growth”. I believe failures are inevitable in life. A school music competition witnessed my setback experience. I had prepared diligently, but on the day of the performance, my nerves got the better of me. My voice trembled and I forgot the lyries. The audience’s whispers and disappointed expressions were a harsh reminder of my failure, which urges me to strive forward. Not only does this experience make me stronger, but it teaches me a valuable lesson. Failure is not the end but a stepping stone to success. It motivates me to practice harder, stay more focused and get better prepared for the future.
Thank you.
第二节（满分25分）(One possible version)
Chase and his mother decided to help. Originally, they wanted to give a reward to the boy who demonstrated his integrity even when he was in such a great need of money, but now they thought Jack and his family needed more help. They mapped out a strategy. It was the Internet that helped them quickly find Jack, so they turned to the Facebook again. They posted photos of Jack’s selling balloons, his story of returning the wallet and his family’s suffering on the Internet, appealing to people to help.
The response online was great. The support came rolling in, quicker and in greater quantities than expected! Jack’s story went viral. People living in the city visited the park where Jack sold balloons, and happily bought one or two. Besides, a store owner nearby offered an easy job to Jack’s father. The kind man said he was impressed by Jack. “Nothing could be shinier than an honest heart and duty for the family for a child,” he added. Indeed, an honest heart deserved all the best things in the world.
