Part of STEM learning is seeing and doing,and then recording and analyzing the results.But not all online or homeschool programs are set up to accommodate science experiments or other STEM learning activities.Let's take a look at a few mind-blowing labs that can help bring STEM topics alive for-your child's online school experience.
Weather Laboratories
To make learning about weather accessible and fun,the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) created a huh of informative weather activities and virtual labs they recommend for students and educators.In fact,their weather science content for kids features a Weather Lab application that allows middle school students to predict weather patterns,and learn what happens when ocean currents and air masses interact.
Simulations(模拟)for Science and Math
It is a project of the University of Colorado Boulder and one of the richest single databases of online science interactives and virtual labs.Investigate more than 150 physics,chemistry,math,biology,and Earth science topics.Available in dozens of languages,the interactives are searchable by grade level,subject,and accessibility.
Space Exploration Simulations
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA)features many STEM learning activities for students in grades K-12.The interactive simulations are,also gamified and make learning engaging and fun for your child.The app allows users to explore the universe and unlock stories of trailblazing scientists and their contributions to space exploration and science.
21.Who are the intended readers
A.Parents. B.Students. C.Teachers. D.Researchers.
22.What makes Simulations for Science and Math different from the other labs
A.It covers the most subjects. B.It has a translation centre.
C.It offers gamified learning experiences. D.It provides multiple tools for recording.
23.What do all the three labs have in common

In this fast-paced world,quiet moments are often spent staring at a phone screen.For those who have forgotten how to switch off and reconnect with ourselves,Deborah Alma may have just what the doctor ordered.She is the founder of The Poetry Pharmacy(药房), whose aim is to ease worry with words,allowing visitors to book poetry consultations for tailored advice or pick up a quick fix off the shelves.Last year, another Poetry Pharmacy opened its doors inside LUSH on London's Oxford Street,seeking to bring a little calm to the capital.
Even before she had two successful"practices"under her belt,Deborah was keenly aware of the power of poetry.She noticed how it could bring people a positive change.This inspired her to become the“Emergency Poet”traveling the country in a vintage ambulance to offer poetry prescriptions(处方). The 1950s ambulance, which was bought on eBay,carried 200 poems,each with advice like"take this poem with a cup of tea"or "listen to some birdsong".
After about a decade of mobile medicine,Deborah parked up her practice for a permanent location in Shropshire.This became the world's first walk-in-poetry pharmacy,and -unlike the ambulance -it had central heating.From a cozy coffee corner to an inspiring physic garden,the Pharmacy is described as"a peaceful place to rest and dream”.“What happens in the shops is that people who look at pills are often buying things for others.It's potentially a little theatre,but that act of giving and thinking about someone else is heartwarming."The Pharmacy also provides a more personalized service.“We ask about people's reading habits,how they relax,rather than their problems.It should be a pleasure to answer these questions,”Deborah says.
Despite never having done any online marketing,The Poetry Pharmacy has a dedicated following of creative souls,including Mark Constantine,CEO and co-founder of LUSH.We don't know what the future holds for The Poetry Pharmacy and its founder,but one thing is certain-the next chapter is bound to be a good one!
24.How many poetry pharmacies has Deborah opened
A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.
25.What can possibly happen in The Poetry Pharmacy
A.Poetic healing. B.Helping phone addicts.
C.Enjoying theatre performances. D.Discussing poetry writing.
26.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A.The shop needs some marketing. B.The shop has gained acceptance.
C.Deborah will open a new shop soon. D.Deborah has found some co-founders.
27.Which of the following best describes Deborah
A.Creative but inconsistent. B.Conventional but warm.
C.Innovative and compassionate. D.Sociable and adventurous.
C
When Alexander Fleming returned to his lab in 1928,he found a bacteria culture he had grown was infected by fungus(霉菌),killing any colonies it touched.Rather than simply starting over,Fleming switched his focus to the fungus.He identified the bacteria-killing substance,which he called“penicillin,”and seemingly in a single stroke,created the new field of antibiotics(抗生素).
That's how most people see innovation:A.flash of brilliance and Eureka!,a new world is born.The truth,however,is messier.It wasn't until 1943 that penicillin came into widespread use.
To put Fleming's discovery in context,consider Ignaz Semmelweis,who pioneered hand washing in maternity wards(产房), significantly reducing childbed fever but receiving scorn instead of fame.That was because in the 1850s,his ideas conflicted with the popular miasma theory,which attributed disease to "bad airs."After his death in 1865,germ theory was accepted,paving the way for Fleming's later work.
Fleming was a gifted biologist but a poor communicator.When he published his results in 1929,few took notice.In 1935,Howard Florey and Ernst Chain discovered Fleming's paper,understood its importance, and developed methods to produce penicillin in quantity.By 1943,with World War IⅡ raging,the War Production Board enlisted 21 companies to mass-produce penicillin,saving countless lives and ushering in the new age of antibiotics.Fleming,Florey and Chain received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1945.
Penicillin owes much of its success to government support.For many other groundbreaking innovations like the Internet and GPS,their innovators,while carving their own path,are often uncertain of where the opportunity lies until they team up with other visionaries and corporations,who might have the resources to fast-track their ideas.So,look at any significant innovation and the myth of the lone genius and the "eureka moment"breaks down.
28.What are the first two paragraphs mainly about
A.An account of a lab story. B.Redefinition of a traditional view.
C.Correction of a popular misconception. D.An analysis of a scientific phenomenon
29.What is the message conveyed in paragraph 3
A.Great minds think alike.
B.The early bird catches the worm.
C.Luck's got your back when it comes to success.
D.Early work is a stepping stone to later breakthroughs.
30.What does the underlined part"ushering in" in the paragraph 4 mean
A.Delaying. B.Introducing. C.Predicting. D.Transforming.
31.Which of the following can be the best title
A.Great Innovations:Individuals Are True Heroes
B.From Failure to Success:The Story of Penicillin
C.The Lone Genius:Fleming's Discovery of Penicillin
D.The Long Road to Penicillin:How Innovation Happens
D
Plastic and cheap clothes are not a glorious legaey (遗产) . But a scientist exploring which items from our technological civilisation are most likely to survive for many millions of years as fossils (化石) has reached an ironic and instructive conclusion:Plastic and fast fashion will be our everlasting geological signature.
“Plastic will definitely be a signature 'technofossil',because it is incredibly durable,we are making massive amounts of it,and it gets around the entire globe," says Sarah Gabbott,a University of Leicester expert on fossils.“So wherever those future civilisations dig,they are going to find plastic."
Clothes will also make an abrupt entry into humanity's fossil record.Today,the world's growing population often wears mass-produced synthetic(合成的)clothing that are rapidly dumped and they are not as easily rotted as cotton and silk.
“We are making them in ridiculous amounts,"says Gabbott.“We stick them into landfills(填埋场), which are like giant mummification tombs.It is already clear that much of modern fashion will end up being truly timeless."
Fossils are not just objects left behind,but also the traces of life's activity written into the rocks.Human activities,such as oil drilling and nuclear tests,will leave lasting scars.Humankind has also created many near-indestructible chemicals,such as dioxins and DDT.Given that similar molecules produced by bacteria have been found in rocks that are 1,600m years old in Western Australia,these chemicals appear to be here to stay.“And there is the graphite(石墨)used in pencils,"says Gabbott.“It is endearing to think that it may be the drawings of children that may survive best of all:a pencil portrait,perhaps,of a family outside a house,with the sun shining and a rainbow arcing across the sky,"she says jokingly.
“The big message here is that the amount of stuff we are now making is eve- watering-it's off the scale,"says Gabbott.All of the stuff made by humans by 1950 was a small part of all the matter on Earth.But today it outweighs all plants and animals.“This raises serious questions for us all,"she says,“Do you need that Do you really need to buy more ”
32.What does the author think of the legacy mentioned in paragraph 1
A.Troubling. B.Short-lived.
C.Technologically weak. D.Environmentally harmless.
33.What can be categorized as technofossils
A.Dinosaur bones. B.Cotton clothing.
C.Nuclear waste. D.Solid landfills.
34.Why is"children's drawings"mentioned in paragraph 5
A.To highlight human creativity. B.To celebrate modern technology.
C.To stress that warmth of life is here to stay. D.To indicate that chemicals could be fossilized.
35.What is Gabbott's primary concern
A.Biodiversity loss. B.Geological record accuracy.
C.Technological progress. D.Overproduction of material goods.
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
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。
Many adults are proud to share their fascinations with what others would label as kids' toys.Mini Brands mystery packs or other blind boxes have become a phenomenon as collectibles for some adults. 36 For others,Legos are on their wishlist encouraged by the brand's growing number of grown-up sets.
37 Seeking and sparking child-like joy may be part of the appeal,said behavioral therapist Maddy Ellberger.“When something reminds us of a positive memory,we are likely to engage with it because the association recalls those memories.”
38 Clothing brands are also cashing in on nostalgia(怀旧情怀) - from Crocs creating a Lizzie McGuire clog to Lululemon's Disney collection making a full comeback that includes adults.Barbie isn't just for kids clothes now either,thanks to the recent film and“Barbie-core”fashion trend.
In addition to the trendy appeal,all these revivals can also touch on a feeling of connection during a time of increased division.But whether that desire for connection is satisfied depends on if you can translate the excitement into real,in-person connection. 39 But having or wearing the same thing is not the actual steps of forming shared identity,"Ellberger said.“And I feel like that's some of what gets lost,and it isn't impossible."
Ellberger has a great idea for this.“You are into a certain trend,like toys.There's a good chance you’ll find others who are into the same trend. 40 If it was part of everyone's secret Santa or white elephant -that's a really cute way of connecting over this,"she said.
A.The craze goes beyond toys.
B.So,what's with the fascination
C.It's a great way to form community.
D.Then give these toys to them as holiday gifts.
E.Social media fuels the trend by creating shared experiences.
F.Even stuffed animals are making their way into adults' homes.
G.Childhood favorites have instead become relevant to adults again.

I remember opening my iPad one day in fifth grade,inspired by a lighthearted conversation with my cousin about scary stories.Hours later,I had 41 my first short story.Writing 42 became a beloved hobby, but as I grew older,the 43 began to fade.I started reading more books,encountering critiques online, and comparing my work to others.Self-doubt crept in,and what once felt like a creative outlet beeame a source of 44 .I felt I had to be"good"at writing to share it.

For me,writing has been the one hobby I've regularly returned to, 49 moments of self-doubt.I've taken creative writing classes and seen significant improvement,but the constant 50 for perfection tuns writing from a 51 into a chore.I've come to realize that this mindset 52 me of the joy I once found in it.
We need to recognize that it's 53 not to be great at something.Perfection is often 54 ,and more often than not,we are our toughest critics.The challenge, then,is finding balance between enjoyment and 55 .Embrace imperfection,and enjoy the process,even if you're not"great"at it.

Investigate more than 150 physics, chemistry, math, biology, and Earth science topics”，涵盖多个学科，而其他实验室未提及如此广泛的学科范围，A 选项正确。
第23题 C 题目问这些实验室的共同之处。根据原文，气象实验室有虚拟实验室让学生预测天气模式；“Simulations for Science and Math” 是在线科学互动和虚拟实验室数据库；太空探索模拟实验室有互动模拟，让用户探索宇宙，它们都提供了虚拟科学探索，C 选项正确。
B篇讲述了 Deborah Alma 创立诗歌药房，用诗歌慰藉人们心灵，其诗歌药房从移动服务发展到固定场所，还获得了不少人的喜爱。
第24题 B 题目问 Deborah 开了多少家诗歌药房。文中提到 “Last year, another Poetry Pharmacy opened its doors”，说明她开了两家，B 选项正确。
第25题 A 题目问在诗歌药房可能发生什么。从 “whose aim is to ease worry with words” 可知，诗歌药房用诗歌缓解人们的忧虑，也就是进行诗意的治愈，A 选项正确。
第26题 B 题目问从最后一段能推断出什么。最后一段提到 “The Poetry Pharmacy has a dedicated following of creative souls, including Mark Constantin, CEO and co - founder of LUSH”，说明诗歌药房获得了认可，有了一批追随者，B 选项正确。
第27题 C 题目问哪个选项最能描述 Deborah。Deborah 创立诗歌药房，用独特的方式帮助人们，这体现了她的创新（innovative）；她关注人们的内心，想帮助人们缓解忧虑，这体现了她的同情心（compassionate），C 选项正确。
C篇讲述了以青霉素的发现和发展为例，说明重大创新并非源于单个天才的灵光乍现，而是经历了诸多过程，且离不开多方支持。
第28题 C 文章开头先呈现了人们普遍认为创新是灵光乍现的观点，接着以青霉素的发现为例进行阐述。在介绍青霉素发现过程中，指出其并非是简单的天才瞬间发现，而是经历了诸多环节，这是对人们常见的关于创新的误解进行纠正。
第29题 D 第三段讲述了 Ignaz Semmelweis 在产房倡导洗手，虽当时未获认可，但他的理论为后来 Fleming 的工作奠定了基础，“After his death in 1865, germ theory was accepted, paving the way for Fleming's later work”，这表明早期的工作成果为后续的重大突破创造了条件，起到了铺垫作用。
第30题 B 原句 “By 1943, with World War II raging, the War Production Board enlisted 21 companies to mass - produce penicillin, ushering in a new era of medicine”，结合上下文可知，大规模生产青霉素这一行为开启了医学的新时代，“ushering in” 在这里意思是引入、开启新的时代，所以选 B。
第31题 D 文章主要围绕青霉素的发现、发展历程展开，深入探讨了创新是如何发生的，并非强调个人的英雄主义。A 选项强调个人是英雄，不符合文章主旨；B 选项只突出了从失败到成功，没有体现创新的过程；C 选项强调孤独的天才，也与文章不符。D 选项 “The Long Road to Penicillin: How Innovation Happens” 准确概括了文章内容。
D篇介绍了科学家研究发现塑料、快时尚衣物等人类制造的物品很可能成为数百万年后的化石，这引发了对物质过度生产的思考。
第32题 A 第一段提到 “Plastic and cheap clothes are not a glorious legacy”，说明作者认为塑料和廉价衣服作为遗产并非好事。后文又指出这些物品会成为化石，带来一系列问题，如 “This raises serious questions for sustainability”，所以作者对其的看法是令人担忧的。
第33题 C 文中提到 “Human activities, such as oil drilling and nuclear tests, will leave lasting scars. Humankind has also created many near - indestructible chemicals, such as dioxins and DDT”，核废料是核试验产生的，属于人类活动产生的难以分解、会长期留存的物质，符合 “technofossis”（技术化石）的特征。
第34题 D 文中提到 “Given that similar molecules produced by bacteria have been found in rocks that are 1,600m years old in Western Australia, these chemicals appear to be here to stay. 'And there is the graphite used in pencils,' says Gabbot”，先说明了一些化学物质能长期留存，然后提到铅笔中的石墨，接着说孩子的画，目的就是表明像铅笔中的石墨这种化学物质可以形成化石。
第35题 D文中 “The big message here is that the amount of'stuff' we're making is incredibly important...This raises serious questions for sustainability. 'Do you need that Do you really need to buy more '”，Gabbot 强调了人类制造的物质数量过多，并对可持续性提出质疑，还反问是否真的需要这么多东西，这表明他主要关注的是物质产品的过度生产问题。
七选五 本篇文章主要讲述了成年人热衷收藏儿童玩具和怀旧商品的现象及其背后的心理原因与社会意义。难度中等，主要考察句子和段落间逻辑关系。
第36题 F 前文提到成年人喜欢收集Mini Brands盲盒和乐高玩具，这些都是传统意义上的儿童玩具。空格处需要一个与前文并列的例子，进一步扩展这种现象的范围。"Even stuffed animals are making their way into adults' homes"（甚至毛绒玩具也进入成年人家中）完美符合这一要求，其中的"even"表示递进关系，与前文形成自然衔接。
第37题 B 前文已经列举了现象，这里需要一个承上启下的过渡句引出原因分析。"So, what's with the fascination "（那么，这种迷恋是怎么回事？）以问题的形式自然引出后文行为治疗师的解释，符合英语议论文"现象-问题-解释"的典型结构。这个问句起到了很好的桥梁作用，将具体现象与深层原因分析连接起来。
第38题 A 前文主要讨论玩具，而后文转向服装品牌利用怀旧情怀的设计。"The craze goes beyond toys"（这种热潮不仅限于玩具）完美地总结了前文并引出新话题，其中的"goes beyond"明确表示了话题的扩展。这个过渡句使文章从玩具自然过渡到服装等其他领域，保持了论述的连贯性。
第39题 C 前文提到怀旧潮流可以增强人与人之间的联系，但需要将这种兴奋转化为现实的互动。空格后引用专家观点，指出“拥有或穿戴相同的东西并不是形成共同身份的实际步骤”。C项“这是形成社区的好方法”与后文形成对比，暗示虽然潮流有助于联系，但仅靠潮流是不够的，上下文形成转折关系。
第40题 D 前文建议找到志同道合的人，这里需要具体的行动建议。"Then give these toys to them as holiday gifts"（然后把这些玩具作为节日礼物送给他们）与后文"秘密圣诞老人或白象礼物"的具体场景完全对应，将抽象建议转化为可操作的实际行动，使文章结尾更加生动具体。
完形填空 本篇通过个人经历揭示了兴趣爱好如何从快乐源泉变成压力来源的过程，并最终提出要接受不完美、享受过程的观点。难度中规中矩。
第41题 D 选项"wrapped up"需要结合前文"hours later"这个时间状语来理解。作者用几个小时完成了人生第一个短篇故事，"wrap up"这个短语本身就带有"圆满完成"的意味，特别适合用来描述创作过程的完结。相比之下，"showed off"带有炫耀意味，与初次创作的私密性不符；"pulled over"多用于车辆停靠；"cut off"表示突然中断，都与创作完成的语境不符。这个选择为后文奠定了基调：一个自然而然的创作开端。
第42题 C 前文提到"hours later"完成故事，说明写作速度很快，"quickly"最符合文意。其他选项"slowly"（缓慢）、"openly"（公开）、"carefully"（仔细）与作者想要表达的快速完成创作的语境不符。
第43题 D "excitement"准确捕捉了初尝创作时的那种纯粹喜悦。孩子们对新事物天然的好奇和热情，正是最珍贵的创作原动力。"hope"显得太过目标导向；"surprise"只强调意外性；"curiosity"则偏重求知欲。唯有"excitement"能完整呈现那种发现创作乐趣时的雀跃心情，与后文热情消退形成鲜明对比。
第44题 D 与前文的"self-doubt"（自我怀疑）相呼应，从创作出口变成了压力来源，"stress"（压力）最准确。其他选项"relief"（解脱）、"truth"（真相）、"inspiration"（灵感）与作者想传递的负面情绪不符。
第45题 A 这里需要一个描述这种变化的词，"shift"（转变）最符合从乐趣到压力的转变过程。其他选项"accident"（事故）、"blessing"（祝福）、"adjustment"（调整）都不如"转变"准确。
第46题 B 前文说爱好最初是轻松的，因此"escape"（逃避/放松方式）最符合作为休闲活动的本质。其他选项"growth"（成长）、"focus"（焦点）、"commitment"（承诺）与放松，轻松的语境不符。
第47题 C 社会压力往往是要"excel"（擅长/出类拔萃），与后文的高标准期望一致。其他选项"live"（生活）、"struggle"（挣扎）、"contribute"（贡献）不如"擅长"贴切。
第48题 B 列举绘画、演奏乐器等都属于"pursuits"（追求/活动）。其他选项"ideas"（想法）、"distraction"（分心）、"ambition"（野心）与文章中的具体爱好不符。
第49题 C 尽管有自我怀疑，仍然坚持写作，"in spite of"（尽管）最准确。其他选项"by means of"（通过）、"with respect to"（关于）、"in search of"（寻找）不符合让步关系。
第50题 A 追求完美需要很强的"drive"（驱动力）。其他选项"doubt"（怀疑）、"supply"（供应）、"imagination"（想象）与本段内追求完美的语境不符。
第51题 B 从"passion"（热情）变成琐事，形成强烈对比。其他选项"story"（故事）、"challenge"（挑战）、"possibility"（可能性）不如"热情"准确。
第52题 A 这种心态"robs"（剥夺）了曾经的快乐，与后文呼应。其他选项"reminds"（提醒）、"warns"（警告）、"informs"（通知）与'文章中的'负面影响''不符。
第53题 B 认识到"okay"（没关系）不擅长某事，与后文的"接受不完美"一致。其他选项"sad"（悲伤）、"intolerable"（无法忍受）、"awesome"（很棒）不符合接受缺点的语境。
第54题 C 完美往往是"subjective"（主观的），与个人标准相关。其他选项"random"（随机）、"temporary"（暂时）、"magical"（神奇）与文章中完美主义的特点不符。
第55题 D "expectation"与"enjoyment"的平衡是全文的解题钥匙。不是要放弃追求（"overwork"），也不是盲目乐观（"enthusiasm"），更不是否定快乐（"joy"），而是在自我期待与现实享受间找到平衡点。这个选择完美总结了全文的主旨思想。
