Winning a remarkable science award is really a big deal. especially if you are 12 years old. But
Shanya Gill, a middle-schooler from San Jose, California, won the top award in the Thermo Fisher
Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge for designing a fire detection system that is superior to existing
ones, as stated in the press release.
"The top winners have exhibited boundless curiosity," Maya Ajmera president and CEO of
Society for Science, said in the press release. "Their remarkable research not only reflects their talent
but also paves the way for an exciting new future."
Shanya's inspiration cam.r after a fire destroyed a restaurant in her neif hborhood during t.he
summer of 2022, reported The Washington Post. "I had never really experienced something like that
before," she told The Washington Post about the early morning fire at Holders Country Inn, which
started in the kitchen. "They had smoke detectors and yet it still burned down," she added.
After she studied fire statistics, Shaya spent over a year developing a fire detection system that
she believes could have prevented the fire. Unlike traditional smoke detectors that sense active fires
from the smoke in the air, Shanya's thermal l热的） imaging device is designed to stop fires from
occurring.
With a thermal camera and a Raspbe叩Pi, a tiny computer, the device detects when a heat
source has been left unattended for ten minutes and sends a text message warning. Creating the
3
prototype(原型） was difficult and the hardest part was the programming, "I'had two des.igns, and my
first design completely failed. It was a really big challenge I had to go through." she said. The final
device outperfonns smoke detectors in speed and accuracy. Shanya wants to bring the costs down to
make it even more common than hardwired smoke detectors.
"Shanya saw a problem, went after It and tried to solve it, and that's what we need to encourage
with all young people," said Ajmera. She also highlighted the significance of supporting individuals,
especially girls and kids of color, in STEM fields, as research indicates that many young people drop
out of these areac;.
24. What can we learn about Shanya from the first two paragraphs
A. She gained a lot of money in the award.
B. She showed a curious nature as a schooler.
C. She set a big stage for young people.
D. She was junior to other winners in pcrfonnance.
25. What motivated Shnnya to develop her fire detection system
A. Her desire to win the science award. B. Her experience of a destructive fire.
C. Her interest in computer programming. 0. Her goal to improve STEM education for girls.
26. What is an advantage of Shanya's invention
.A. It consists of two parts that are easier to conduct.
B. It can send out a warning against a potential fire.
C. It can detect active fires from the smoke in the air.
D. It functions when a fire breaks out within 10 minutes.
27. Which of the following can best describe Shanya
A. Reliable. B. Cooperative. C. Innovative. D. Generous.
C
Scientists have shown how plants can protect themselves against genetic damage caused by
environmental stresses. The growing tips of plant roots and shoots have an in-h11ilt me h.1ni,m (机制）
that spells cell death if DNA damage is detected、avoiding passing on faulty DNA.
Plants have small populations of stem cells (干细胞） at the tips of their roots and shoots, which
enable them to continuously grow and produce new tissues throughout their lifetime. These stem cells
serve as ancestors for plant tissues and organs. However, any genetic faults present in the stem cells
will continue to exist and be passed on pennanently throughout由e plant's iife, which could last
thousands of years.
Given the critical role of stem cells and their exposure to potentially dangerous environments at
the growing tips of roots and shoots, safeguards are necessary to prevent stem cell faults from
becoming fixed. Researchers N{ck Fulcher and Robert Sablowski,_funded by the Biotechnology and
Biological Sciences Research Council, aimed to uncover these protective mechanisms. Through
experiments involving X-rays and chemicals, they discovered that stem cells were more sensitive to
DNA damage compared to other cells.
When DNA damage occurs, the cells have the capaci to dete t it and cause·programmed cells
to die, preventing the propat,tatJon of the damaged genetic code to the rest of the plant tissues. This
4
process bas similarities to the safeguard mechanism found In animal cells, which has been broadly
studied due to its relevance in preventing cancer.
The identification of a similar protective system 阳 plants is of great interest i the field of plant
development It also helps scientists develop plants that can better handle environmental stress. So
knowledge of how: plants deal with these stresses is of fundamental significance to agricultural
science's response to cl血ate change.
28. W血t is the function of the in-built mechanism in plants
A. To produce more roots and shoots.
B. To increase the overall lifetime of the plant
C. To enhance plant growth and nutrient intalce.
D. To stop genetic faults in stem cells passing on.
29. W匝t can we know about stem cells in plants according to the te双？
A. They are relatively abundant in quantity.
B. They are resistant to environmental stresses.
C. They make quick response to DNA damage.
D. They have the ability to rep吐damaged DNA.
30. What does the underlined word "propaeation" in _paragraph 4 mean
A. Spread. B. Change. C. Existence. D. Self-repair.
31. W恤t does the last paragraph focus on
A. The way'of dealing with climate change on the earth.· : . :.
B. The significance ofidentifying the protective system in plants.
C. The method of ensuring plant survival under environmen也1 stress.
D. The urgency of developing plants that can handle environmental stress.

In a study published in Personality and Social Psycholo窃Bulletin, researchers found that people
tend to tum down offers of"free money", as well. as unus叫ly h'igh° salaries or cheap services, because
they seem "toe> ood to be true."
In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of·participants ate a cookie offered freely
compared with about 20 percent of th-ose offe- -re· d ·S-5 as well. Nine further experiments, involving more-
than 4,000 participants, used online questionnaires to present other scenarios (设想） . These included
being offered money to accept a ride home, e志emely high co心truction-job wages and surprisingly
cheap flights. In each case, past a certain point, higher potential monetary gain reduced participants'
likelihood of accepting the offer.
The study lead a,uthor Vonasch says it illustrates that contrary to the "standard economic model",
which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions need to a so be understood as
social interactions between people叩ing to understand each other's minds. ff someone seems to break
accepted rules, such as self interest, without any explanatio凡we assume they have hidden mo ves
and infer there will be "phantom costs" - imagined consequences, that reduce what-Vonasch calls an
offer's "psychological value."
Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. "Understanding that others'perceived
5
．
overgenerosiW may put us in their debt could also help explain people's reluctance," says Rachel
McCloy, a psychologist at England's University of Reading. The researchers also showed, how to
mlttiate the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The "cheap flights" experiment included a
condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable." Uncomfortable seats aren't
typically a selling point," Vonasch says. "But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them
more willing to take them because it W!lS suffi ient (充足的） explanation."
The scientists are now experimenting with whether phantom costs play into humans'interactions
with robots and artificial intelligence. "If AI is overly generous, will people imagine phantom costs "
Vonasch says. "People tend to treat AI as if they have a mind, when obviously they don't."
32. According to paragraph 2, the experiments m皿ly focus on people's .
·.
A. Thinking method. B. Decision making.
C. Financial condition. D. Potential ab廿ity
33. Why does the author mention "standard economic model"
A. To explain the experiments further. B. To clarify. a psychological concept
C. To provide evidence for the study. D. To express do\lb on the experiments.
34. What does the underlined word "皿血监" in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Analyze. B. Improve. C. Measure. D. L七ssen.
35. W比ch of the following is the best title for the text
A. Phantom cos.ts: Where "standard economic model" doesn't work
B. Phantom costs: Whether people's likelihood of accepting an offer reduces
C. Phantom costs: Why "too good to be true" scares people off
D. Phantom,cQsts:_ How imagined consequences pi:event hidden motives

"Number 7. Jobie Nymble, takes the lead," cried the announcer. "Just one more hurdle (跨栏）
and - " Cheers erupted. "Jobie Nyrnble from Riverside Middle School takes first place in the girls'
100-meter hurdles!"
The crowd went wild as Jobie's teammates screamed and yelled.
Determined to go all the way to County championships, Jobie patted·her worn neon-green track
spikes (钉鞋） . They were her lucky shoes and she loved them. "Next Saturday, we're taking the gold
home," Jobie whispered to her spikes, excitedly retying them.
"Don't forget, guys." said Marisol. one of her teammates cheerfully. "My birthday party is next
Friday at Hidden Park."
"Beep. Party recorded in calendar," joked Jobie in her best robot voice.
Jobie brimmed with excitement all week long. At track practice, she leaped over those hurdles
faster than she'd ever leaped before.
The day of Marisol's party came. Jobie put on her favorite equipment: her fancy blue shorts, an
old track T-shirt from her dad, and her lucky spikes.
The party was in full swing when Jobie arrived at Hidden Park. Music and the smell of grilled
food filled the air. Two of Jobie's teammates rushed toward her, breathless and barefoot, asking her to
try the slide. Jobie's eyes took a glance at the party area. Suddenly, she saw it. The BIGGEST
inflatable slide (充气滑梯） she had ever s氏n was on the far side of the park. Smiling kids zoomed
down the slide at unspeakable speeds.
Without thinking twice, Jobie took off her spikes and rushed toward the slide. Its ladder stretched
to the sky like Jack's magical beanstalk, but she reached the top in no time. She sat down, slipped to
the edge, and closed her eyes as she let go. Jobie couldn't get enough, conquering the slide over and
over again. When it was finally time to go home, she reluctantly made her way back to the track
where she'd left her shoes.
注意： 1. 续写词数应为ISO左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
As she eyed the area from a distance, panic set in.
The next day, without her lucky spikes, Jobie was among the best track teams gathering for the
championships.
