As the excitement of the Summer Olympics attracts audiences worldwide, it presents a golden opportunity to inspire our younger generation not just in sports but in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). These disciplines, often perceived as complex, can be made accessible and enjoyable through the lens of the Olympics. Here, we explore a series of innovative STEM challenges designed for both lower elementary and upper elementary students, aimed at sparking their curiosity and fostering a love for learning.
Surfing STEM Challenge
The Surfing STEM Challenge invites students to explore the fascinating world of magnetic forces (磁力) by keeping a surfer suspended in mid-air. Using a magnetic stick, students guide the surfer’s track, mirroring the fluid movements of surfing waves.
Basketball STEM challenge
The Basketball STEM challenge attracts students by tasking them with inventing a basketball game tailored for one-handed play, making use of materials at hand. The activity highlights the importance of creativity, engineering capability, and collaborative effort, all within the vibrant atmosphere of the Summer Olympics.
Skateboarding STEM Activity
The Skateboarding STEM Activity challenges students to craft a small skateboard, along with constructing a skatepark to demonstrate their fingerboarding skills. It’s an engaging way to connect with the dynamic world of skateboarding in the Summer Olympics, encouraging teamwork, innovation, and hands-on learning.
Golf STEM Challenge
The Golf STEM Challenge tasks students with the exciting project of designing and building a mini golf course, along with creating their own golf club. This innovative approach to learning not only brings the spirit of the Summer Olympics into the classroom but also fosters teamwork, problem-solving, and a deeper understanding of the scientific concepts behind the game of golf.

As Elizabeth Stone once said, “Having children is like having your heart go walking around outside of your body.” You send them off to school and hope that the world treats them kindly because when they hurt, you hurt.
Surely it’s inevitable (不可避免的) that your child will experience hurt feelings at some point. So, it’s wise to be ready for those moments.
But what truly prepares you for the moment when the child you love so much unexpectedly heals the wounds of your own inner child A mom, named Soogia, posted a video on TikTok explaining a phone call she received from a parent in her daughter’s classroom. The mom called to inform Soogia that their kids had been sharing lunch with each other.
Soogia wasn’t prepared for what came next. The classmate’s mother informed her that her son loved the food Soogia’s daughter brought to school and wanted to learn how to cook it too.
That may seem like a small thing to some, but the small gesture healed a little bit of Soogia’s inner child. Growing up as a Korean kid in California, Soogia had different experiences from her children.
“I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open and accepting to it,” Soogia said through tears. “They don’t sit there eating their food alone, feeling ashamed and wishing that their fried rice was a sandwich instead or something like that. And I know, it sounds so small and it sounds so stupid, but knowing that their experience at school is so different from mine in such a positive way is just so hopeful.”
Soogia’s tearful video tug at the heartstrings of her viewers who shared their thoughts in the comments. “These Gen Alpha babies really are a different, kinder generation. I love them so much,” someone commented.
24. What is the purpose of quoting at the beginning of the passage
A. To illustrate the hard work of being a parent.
B. To stress parents’ consistent concerns about their children.
C. To introduce the story about a child’s growth that follows.
D. To contrast the different feelings between parents and children.
25. Why did the classmate’s mother call Soogia
A. To invite her daughter to go out for lunch.
B. To invite Soogia to prepare lunch for the children together.
C. To inform Soogia of her daughter’s understanding behavior at school.
D. To express her app reciation for the lunch Soogia’s daughter brought.
26. What can we infer about Soogia’s opinion of the new generation of children
A. Open-minded and inclusive. C. Tolerant and ambitious.
B. Adventurous and open-minded D. Friendly and ambitious.
27. What does the underlined phrases “tug at the heartstrings” in paragraph 6 mean
A. Encourage cooperation. B. Appeal to feelings.
C. Promote good deeds. D. Provide advice.

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories (卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
28. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes
A. They must run long distances. C. They have to follow special rules.
B. They are qualified for the marathon. D. They are good at swinging their legs.
29. What advantage does race walking have over running
A. It’s more popular at the Olympics. C. It’s more effective in body building.
B. It’s less challenging physically. D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.
30 What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking
A Getting experts’ opinions. B. Having a medical checkup.
C. Hiring an experienced coach. D. Doing regular exercises.
31. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking
A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.
D
Switching food and drink purchases to very similar but more environmentally friendly alternatives could reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from household groceries by more than a quarter (26%), according to a new Australian study from The George Institute published in Nature Food. Making bigger changes - like swapping a frozen meat lasagne (宽面条) for the vegetarian option—could push the reduction to as much as 71%.
Lead author Dr Allison Gaines said, “Dietary habits need to change significantly if we are to meet global emissions targets, particularly in high-income countries like Australia, the UK, and the US.” But while consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of the food system, they lack reliable information to identify the more environmentally friendly options.
Researchers calculated the projected emissions of annual grocery purchases from 7,000 Australian households in The George Institute’s FoodSwitch database and global environmental impact databasets. More than 22,000 products were assigned to major, minor and sub-categories of foods (e.g. ‘bread and bakery’, ‘bread’ and ‘white bread’, respectively) to measure emissions saved by switching both within and between groups. Making switches within the same sub-categories of foods could lead to emission reductions of 26% in Australia, equal to taking over 1.9 million cars off the road. Switches within minor categories of foods could lead to even bigger emission reductions of 71%.
The results of the study show the potential to significantly reduce our environmental impact by switching like-for-like products. “It showed that you can switch to lower emissions products while still enjoying nutritious foods,” Dr Gaines added.
A free app, called ecoSwitch, has been developed currently available in Australia, based on this research. Shoppers can use their device to scan a product barcode and check its ‘Planetary Health Rating’, a measure of its emissions shown as a score between half a star (high emissions) to five stars (low emissions).
“While ecoSwitch is a much-needed first step in providing environmental transparency (透明度) for grocery shoppers, the vision is for compulsive (强制性的) display of a single, unified sustainability rating system on all supermarket products,” concluded prof Neal, Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at Imperial College London.
32. What’s the function of paragraph 2
A. To set the stage for further explanation.
B. To summarize the previous paragraph.
C. To give supporting details for the writer’s argument.
D. To make a comparison between different countries.
33. Why do researchers make a detailed classification for products
A. To set up a comprehensive database. B. To figure out the detailed food categories.
C. To measure emissions reduced by switching food. D. To ensure less air pollution caused by food options.
34. What do we know about ecoSwitch
A. It is popular in high-income countries. B. It checks the emissions of star products.
C. It is a measurement system for a supermarket. D. It ensures greener choices for food purchase.
35. What’s the best title of the text
A. EcoSwitch - a Reminder of Food Safety
B. Dietary habits - a Factor of Physical Health
C. Food swaps - a Way of Environmental Sustainability
D. Greenhouse gas emissions - a Cause of Environmental Crisis

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。
No woman can be too rich or too thin. This saying from the late Dutchess (公爵夫人) of Windsor reflects much of the odd spirit of our times. Being thin is recognized as such a virtue. The problem with this view is that some people actually attempt to live by it. 36 Consequently, I have been on a diet for the better-or-worse-part of my life.
37 And when did eating butter become a sin (原罪) All religions have certain days when people contain their desire from eating and excessive eating is one of Christianity’s seven deadly sins. However, until quite recently, most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some social groups, wealth was a blessing and a symbol of high morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.
38 We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue. The result is that being fat, or somewhat overweight, is bad because it implies a lack of moral strength. 39 It is true that we have more overweight people than before, and that being overweight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood diseases. These diseases, however, may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets as with extra weight. And the risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dietary problem -too much fat and a lack of fibre - than a weight problem.
The real concern, then, is not that we weigh too much, but that we neither exercise enough nor eat well. Exercise is necessary for strong bones and overall health. A balanced diet can also help the body avoid diseases. Simply being thin is not enough. It is actually dangerous if those thin people think they are automatically healthy and thus free from caring about their lifestyle. 40
A. Today the opposite is true.
B. Thinness makes a big difference
C. Then where did we go off the track
D. It is time to change their (and our) concept of thinness.
E. There is much to do when we realize we’ve gone too far.
F. Our addiction to thinness is also fueled by health concerns.
G. I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes.

The Atbai Desert, a part of the Sahara Desert, is one of the driest 56 (place) on Earth, with a sandy and barren landscape that averages zero millimeters of rainfall each year. So, archaeologists were surprised when they discovered rock art showing boats and cattle in an area 57 is 60 miles away from the closest body of water.
“It was surprising to find cattle 58 ( carve) on desert rock walls as they require plenty of water and wide-open grassland, and would not survive in Sahara today,” said Julien Cooper, 59 archaeologist from Macquarie University. “The discovery of boat images in the rock art this distant from lakes and rivers was also surprising.”
Archaeologists believe the discovery 60 (provide) clear evidence supporting the theory of an once “Green Sahara” around 3,000 B.C.E. During this period, the area was a grassy plain with lakes and rivers, 61 (sustain) a variety of wildlife and human activities such as cattle herding. However, changes in African monsoon (季风) patterns transformed the Sahara 62 the barren desert we know today. 63 (current), only hard y animals like camels and goats can survive there.
The rock art’s detailed carvings suggest that the creators spent plenty of time in the area, 64 (far) indicating that the region was once supportive of human life. As the climate grew unforgiving, many residents were forced to migrate closer to the Nile, contributing to the formation of early urban states and culture in Egypt and Nubia. The discovery offers valuable insight into the changes that 65 (occur) in the Sahara over the past thousands of years.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My pulse quickened as my feet took me closer and closer to the door. In my head, I could hear the words my father kept telling me, “Do it, Stephanie. You never do anything for yourself. Just set it up.” I felt my lungs filled with air and released it.
“Did you sign up ” my father asked. When he saw the drumsticks in my hand, he smiled and then came to hug me.
Wednesday came, and along with it was my first drum lesson. I walked through the door and headed directly to the seating area in the back. My hands kept fidgeting (摆弄) with the sticks. I kept nervously looking at the time. I tried to slow down my breath. I knew the teacher would say I was not the right type of person to play the drums. I turned around to see an old man looking at me.
“Stephanie I’m Mike, the drum teacher,” he said.
He led me to a room. There were two drum sets, and he told me to sit at the one close to the door. Out of the door gathered the crowd, chatting and chuckling.
People made me nervous. That’s the way I’d always been. But Mike had a very calm manner, so I relaxed just slightly. Not only did he not tell me that I was the wrong type of person to play the drums, but he praised me on how well I held the sticks and followed along with him. I learned how to read simple sheets of music, but then my thirty-minute lesson was over.
Walking back to my father’s car, I felt the energy beaming from within me. It was the first time that I had done something purely for my enjoyment, something just for myself.
I practiced as much as I could throughout the week. Even my four-year-old dog Pluto often complained that I never played with it. My second lesson came, and I played the sheets of music for Mike. I noticed as I played that Mike’s concentration became more and more apparent. When I finished the whole lesson, Mike said “You played that perfectly!”
注意：(1) 续写词数应为150左右；(2) 开头已给出
Paragraph 1:
After months of playing, one day, Mike invited me to play at a small concert.
Paragraph 2:
Walking up on the stage, I took a deep breath and sat at the drum set.

A Memorable Visit to a Handicraft Workshop
Last Saturday, our class went on a journey through time to a local handicraft workshop, where the art of making is not just an exceptional skill, but a living, breathing tradition.
As we stepped into the workshop, the air was filled with the scent of clay and the soft hum of tools at work. Stunned by a wide array of delicate ceramics, I embarked on my first attempt at a vase under the guidance of a seasoned craftsman, With the wheel spinning and clay taking form under my hands, I was overwhelmed with thrill and satisfaction.
This experience has left me with a newfound respect for the art of making and deeper insights into the cultural heritage that the craft represents.

One possible version:
After months of playing, one day, Mike invited me to play at a small concert. The following weeks witnessed my passion fueled by the upcoming concert. Practicing drumming became an essential part of my daily routine. Every beat and every rhythm, filled me with a sense of accomplishment. The hours spent honing my skills were not just about mastering the instrument; they’re about discipline and love. My father, watching with a gentle smile, often stood by the door. His words of encouragement soothed my anxiety. Mike also provided some constructive feedback on his occasional visits . With each nod of his head and every proud grin, my determination skyrocketed. Finally, the big day came.
Walking up on the stage, I took a deep breath and sat at the drum set. Lights flashing, I began to play. My hands moved swiftly, striking the drumheads with precision and power, each hit sending vibrations through the air that seemed to capture the audience’s hearts. The rhythm intensified, building like a storm, and the crowd watched in awe, their eyes glued to my every move. As the final beat hit, the air was filled with an electrifying energy, and the yard erupted in applause. The satisfaction of performing and feeling the music move through me and resonate with the audience, was pure magic. Their applause was recognition to the power of music and me. “Stephanie, yes, you can do anything that you like!” I grinned with delight, drumsticks in my hands.

M: Welcome back to the show! This is Andrew. And now let’s have a look at the books that are coming out this month. October is the month of autumn and Halloween, so as you would expect, there are a few horror novels hitting bookstores soon. The first book is The Dark which comes out on October 10th, and there is only one week before that. (18) It includes 13 short stories written by journalist Lee Ryan. What’s more, it is hoped that this book will be turned into a movie series. Next, we have Stone Cold. This is the first novel by Japanese writer Ichiro Fujino that has been translated into English. It will be published on October 17th. His writing is really excellent and I can’t wait for more of his works to be translated. Lastly, we have The Mall from American writer John Clarke. (19) It tells about a newly opened library in Australia where people start going missing. I don’t want to say any more, or I’ll ruin the surprise. You can learn more about these books on our show’s website. (20) That’s all from me. Have a great October!
