Getting into science is often difficult for some kids, It’s something Ahmed Muhammad learned quickly while babysitting his niece and nephew.
Muhammad is an 18-year-old senior from California. who attends Oakland Tech High school. One day he asked his niece and nephew if they wanted to do science, and he was upset by their reaction.
“Whenever I babysit them, we do things like playing chess, playing video games, or watching TV or whatever. When I tried to do science with them, they were like, No, I hate science. I’m bad at it.” It was that moment that fueled Muhammad to create his nonprofit called “Kits Cubed” with a mission to introduce kids to science through fun, affordable and accessible means.
“I went into my room and I pulled out some science books. Then I went online and did some research and was able to design some science experiments for them to do at home. The materials were composed of fairly cheap stuff we have around the house, and they loved it” Muhammad said.
After witnessing their joy, he realized other children could benefit from it as well. “Having noticed the long-standing absence of science experiments in our school, I really feel like well need some science kits in the hands of kids,” Muhammad said.
That’s when he took the $200 he had saved to create a website and began creating science kits to sell, and eventually donated the earnings to kids in need. “I had enough money to make the website and enough to put together like 10 or 15 kits. My initial goal was the joy that my niece and nephew felt. I wanted it to get to as many kids as possible,” Muhammad said.
Muhammad, who has been accepted to Stanford University, is just thrilled he was able to help change his niece and his nephew’s opinion of science while inspiring others as well.
24．What is the main pursuit of Kits Cubed
A．To solve the absence of science at school.
B．To promote acceptance of scientific spirit.
C．To provide free access to household stuff.
D．To set in motion kids’ passion for science.
25．What made Muhammad decide to share the science kits
A．Online research he carried out about materials.
B．Enjoyable reactions he observed from the kids.
C．Science books he published about experiments.
D．Science fairs he participated in at his own school.
26．What can be known about his website
A．It targeted at kids aged from 10 to 15.
B．It received donations for kids in need.
C．It was primarily funded by local school.
D．It initially profited from sales of science kits.
27．Which of the following best describes Muhammad
A．Composed. B．Childlike. C．Charitable. D．Cooperative.

Scientists have known for years that plants respond to sounds around them. For example, flowers make sweeter nectar (花蜜) to the sound of buzzing bees. But now scientists in Israel have shown that plants also seem to be doing some “talking”.
Professor Lilach Hadany and her team at Tel Aviv University set up microphones to record tomato and tobacco plants under different conditions. Their recordings showed that the plants made ultrasonic (超声波的) sounds.
When the researchers adjusted their recordings so that humans could hear them, they heard sharp clicking noises. Plants clicked hardly at all when they had enough water. But as their soil got drier, they clicked more and more. When scientists cut off a stem (茎) from the plants, the plants also clicked more. But the clicking wasn’t the same as when the plants needed water.
It’s not clear how the plants make the sounds and whether the plants are making the sounds on purpose. But the plants are definitely making noises, and creating much more noises when they’re stressed (not enough water, stem cut off) than when they’re not.
The researchers trained an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system to identify the different kinds of clicking sounds. The system was able to tell the difference between plants that needed water and plants with cuts about 70% of the time. The result suggests that researchers may one day be able to use a plant’s sounds to figure out when it is having trouble, and what trouble it is having. That could be very helpful to farmers.
The new discovery raises many more questions. One important question is: Do plants make sounds to communicate with each other Other research has shown that plants do seem to communicate in some ways. Plants being attacked by insects send chemicals into the air. Soon, nearby plants (that haven’t been attacked yet) start to make other chemicals that don’t taste good to insects. It’s possible that the ultrasonic sounds could work in a similar way.
28．What do the researchers find in their recordings
A．Plants’ stems click less when they are cut off.
B．Plants click harder if they have enough water.
C．Plants make more noises when they are thirsty.
D．Flowers make sweeter nectar to the sound of bees.
29．What can we learn about the plants from paragraph 4
A．There are still some unknown issues.
B．Not all of them are able to make sounds.
C．There are ultrasonic sounds around them.
D．They make less noises when they’re stressed.
30．What is the purpose of the AI system created by the researchers
A．To help farmers drive away insects.
B．To identify people who are in trouble.
C．To show the growing process of plants.
D．To distinguish types of clicking sounds.
31．What might the author continue talking about
A．Methods for plants to protect themselves.
B．Other questions raised by the new finding.
C．When plants communicate with each other.
D．Under what conditions plants attract insects.
D
A lunar crystal (水晶) was found in lunar basalt particles (玄武岩颗粒) collected from the moon in 2020 when the Chinese moon mission landed in Oceanus Procellarum, returning with more than 1.7 kg of lunar samples delivered safely to the Earth.
The crystal found on the near side of the moon is giving scientists hope of providing limitless power for the world forever. It is made of material previously unknown to the scientific community and contains a key ingredient for the nuclear fusion (核聚变) process, a form of power generation that uses the same forces that fuel the sun and other stars. It is transparent and roughly the width of a single human hair, and it formed in a region of the moon where volcanoes were active around 1.2 billion years ago.
One of the primary ingredients found in this crystal is helium-3 (氦-3) , which scientists believe may provide a stable fuel source for nuclear fusion reactors. The element is incredibly rare on the Earth, but it seems to be fairly common on the moon. China’s next moon mission is expected to be carried out by Chang’e 6 in 2024, which will attempt to collect the first samples from the far side of the moon, which never faces the Earth.
Although it is too early for scientists to have made financial estimates on such a fuel source, it will undoubtedly be extremely costly. There is, of course, the matter of bringing the crystals back from the moon, especially in large amounts that are needed to fuel fusion reactors.
Helium-3 produces significantly less radiation and nuclear waste than other elements. The current nuclear fusion process has raised serious safety concerns, and as a result, scientists have been searching for a way to create nuclear power from nuclear fusion. During the fusion process, radioactive waste is not produced, potentially making a securer and more efficient fuel source.
Around 25 tons of helium-3 could power the US for a year. Multiple private companies and countries with space agencies have signaled their intentions to mine the moon for helium-3, and this latest discovery could kick start the race.
32．What can we learn about the crystal
A．It is 1.7 centimeters wide.
B．It is expected to power the Earth.
C．It is commonly found on the Earth.
D．It is made of previously familiar material.
33．What will Chang’e 6 try to do in the next moon mission
A．Collect up nuclear waste.
B．Find out the elements of helium-3.
C．Set up lunar nuclear fusion reactors.
D．Take back the samples of lunar crystals.
34．What is helium-3 as fuel expected to be like
A．It is low in cost. B．It is clean and safe.
C．It absorbs radiation. D．It produces no waste.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．A Struggling Race to Make Crystals
B．An Undoubted Discovery Powering the US
C．An Efficient Way to Collect Crystals from the Moon
D．A Rare Moon Crystal Discovered by Chinese Scientists
第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）
For many American high school seniors and their families, May 1 is “National College Decision Day,” when students make a decision about their academic future. 36 According to a recent survey, more than half of Americans don’t even think college is worth the cost. This is upsetting, as completing college is as important as ever.
37 Even in today’s competitive labor market, college graduates find work much easier and tend to command significantly higher incomes. The unemployment rate for those with a bachelor’s degree or greater is currently half that of those with a high school degree. This college income advantage is due to technological advances like the personal computer and the Internet, which have caused a huge demand for skilled workers. The rapid advances today in automation and artificial intelligence will further increase the need for a highly skilled workforce. 38
It is understandable why many students and families suspect that college is no longer “worth it.” College tuition has been rising for years, and many students fear being burdened with loans after graduation. But in fact, the net price of a four-year college, which is what students pay after financial aid, has been falling since 2018 and is now lower than it was in 2006. 39 In other words, the investment paid off.
To make smart decisions about where to go and what to study, students and parents can make use of resources available today to make informed choices. 40 With these resources, students can gain a reasonable picture of what their future holds down each potential path.
A．To acquire these advanced skills, college remains the surest path.
B．However, recent years have seen a sharp drop in college registration.
C．These attitudes are also reflected in the actions of the youngest generation.
D．Higher education must make college pricing clear to would-be college-goers.
E．Huge data shows a college degree actually gives graduates economic advantages.
F．Furthermore, students in debt were more likely to finish their degrees and earn more later.
G．For example, tools like College Scorecard offer graduation rates and future earnings across schools.

Excitement and danger always coexist. Even Rogers had just taken a turn on his mountain bike in April 2020 when he was stopped short by the sight of a woman sitting on the side of the trail. She was cute and had long brown hair and big expressive eyes. What he didn’t know then was that she was also in pain.
Sydney Linden, 28, bad been jogging down Adobe Jack Trail in Sedona, Arizona, when she jumped over a rock and her leg overextended on the landing. The pain was instant. Her right leg collapsed and she hit the dirt hard. Linden tried to stand but collapsed. She wasn’t sure if she had tom her ACL (韧带), broken her leg, or something else. All she knew was that the pain was a 15out of 10.
Linden dragged herself to the shade, “like an animal preparing to die,” she says. She’d called a friend, but after 30 minutes, her friend was lost. That’s when she saw the mountain biker.
Rogers was trying to play it cool. “I didn’t want to be strange,” he says, “so I was just going to casually ride by — at a slower speed.” But Rogers, 33, an active-duty airman, sensed her sufferings and asked if be could help. Linden explained her dilemma. That’s when he noticed the swelling under her leggings. She needed a hospital — now.
Leaning on Rogers, Linden tried to hop along, but the pain was burning. She’d never make it to the trailhead (登山扣) this way. Rogers had another idea. Ho abandoned his bike on the side of the trail and, after a brief discussion, lifted her over his shoulder. Then they began their way over the rocky area and bushes. Although it was spring, the Arizona sun beat down wildly.
Misfortune never came alone.

Linden was eager to thank Rogers, but he left without any information.

32．细节理解题。根据第二段“The crystal found on the near side of the moon is giving scientists hope of providing limitless power for the world forever. It is made of material previously unknown to the scientific community and contains a key ingredient for the nuclear fusion (核聚变) process, a form of power generation that uses the same forces that fuel the sun and other stars. It is transparent and roughly the width of a single human hair, and it formed in a region of the moon where volcanoes were active around 1.2 billion years ago.(在月球背面发现的晶体给科学家们带来了希望，即永远为世界提供无限的能源。它是由科学界以前未知的材料制成的，含有核聚变过程的关键成分，核聚变是一种能源产生形式，使用与为太阳和其他恒星提供燃料相同的能量。它是透明的，大约有一根头发丝那么宽，它形成于大约12亿年前火山活跃的月球区域。)”可知，在月球背面发现的晶体预计它将为地球提供能源，由科学界以前未知的材料构成的，是透明的，大约有一根头发丝那么宽，它形成于大约12亿年前火山活跃的月球区域；由第三段中的“One of the primary ingredients found in this crystal is helium-3 (氦-3) , which scientists believe may provide a stable fuel source for nuclear fusion reactors. The element is incredibly rare on the Earth, but it seems to be fairly common on the moon.(在这种晶体中发现的主要成分之一是氦-3，科学家认为它可以为核聚变反应堆提供稳定的燃料来源。这种元素在地球上非常罕见，但在月球上似乎相当普遍。)”可知，这种晶体中发现的主要成分之一是氦-3，这种元素在地球上非常罕见，但在月球上似乎相当普遍。由此可知，B项“It is expected to power the Earth.(预计它将为地球提供能源。)”正确。故选B。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“China’s next moon mission is expected to be carried out by Chang’e 6 in 2024, which will attempt to collect the first samples from the far side of the moon, which never faces the Earth.(中国的下一次探月任务预计将于2024年由嫦娥6号执行，它将尝试从月球背面采集第一批样本，月球背面从未面向地球。)”可知，下一次探月任务中嫦娥六号将尝试从月球背面采集第一批样本。故选D。
34．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Although it is too early for scientists to have made financial estimates on such a fuel source, it will undoubtedly be extremely costly.(尽管科学家们对这种燃料来源进行财务估算还为时过早，但它无疑将是极其昂贵的。)”以及第五段“Helium-3 produces significantly less radiation and nuclear waste than other elements. The current nuclear fusion process has raised serious safety concerns, and as a result, scientists have been searching for a way to create nuclear power from nuclear fusion. During the fusion process, radioactive waste is not produced, potentially making a securer and more efficient fuel source.(氦-3比其他元素产生的辐射和核废料要少得多。目前的核聚变过程已经引起了严重的安全问题，因此，科学家们一直在寻找一种从核聚变中产生核能的方法。在核聚变过程中，不会产生放射性废物，这可能会成为一种更安全、更有效的燃料来源。)”可知，氦-3这种燃料来源会非常昂贵，氦-3比其他元素产生的辐射和核废料要少得多，在核聚变过程中，不会产生放射性废物，这可能会成为一种更安全、更有效的燃料来源。因此，作为燃料的氦-3应该是清洁、安全的。故选B。

Dear Me,
I’m YOU in 10 years!
Knowing that you are curious about what your future job will be like, I’m writing to help you picture it.
In 10 years, you’ll become a psychological consultant. With the advanced technology, there’s no need for patients to consult a doctor in person. Seeing a doctor will be convenient, especially for the disabled or those exposed to autism. What they need to do is to put a “headpad” on their heads, and the device will read their mind. By the way, you are the one who will invent the chip of the “headpad”. Thousands of patients have fully recovered thanks to your invention.
Please be confident and work hard to equip yourself with extensive knowledge. Trust me. Hard work will eventually pay off.
Best wishes,
Me in 10 years

67．One possible version
Misfortune never came alone. As they headed for the parking lot, Rogers wanted to distract Linden from the pain by chatting with her. Unfortunately, he tripped over a stone and they both fell to the ground. Painful though he was, Rogers dropped to his knees, checked Linden’s condition and lifted her over his shoulder again. Exhausted but determined, Rogers tightly carried Linden on his back, moving forward carefully. Eventually, after an hour’s struggle in the bushes, they finally made it to the parking lot, where Linden’s friend was waiting anxiously with the car. Rogers carefully loaded Linden into the front seat and she was rushed to the hospital.
Linden was eager to thank Rogers, but he left without any information. She spared every effort to search for him but couldn’t find anything relevant. Linden contacted the local newspaper, which published her story the day after the surgery with the headline “Runner Looking for Trail Hero.” Luckily, that same day, the journalist emailed Linden, telling her Rogers had read the article and wanted to get in touch. A week later, Rogers and Linden finally met again. In tears, Linden thanked him for everything he’d done, excited beyond words. From that day on, the pair became good friends, discussing life goals and future plans from time to time. It was kindness and a grateful heart that made a real difference.(212 words)
