The design and technology unit at the School of Sāo Paulo of America offers four structured projects, which combine STEAM principles with real-world application.
Project Introduction
Light-Up Greeting Cards Personalized electronic cards, crafted with copper tape, coin cells and LEDs, carry warm and sincere messages including holiday blessings or gratitude to loved ones. This project not only equips students with basic circuit principles and structures, but also inspires thoughtful design, enabling them to integrate creativity with technology through engaging practice.
Interactive Awareness Posters Students create interactive posters to promote energy-saving habits in school spaces. They gather in pairs to design sensor-equipped posters that can detect light change and human motion and then remind viewers of energy-saving rules through flashing eye-catching slogans (标 语).Programmed via free platforms, the posters are exhibited in school public areas as part of “Tech for Good” showcase.
Smart Houses With the goal of connecting automation and energy-saving practices, students create digital models using computer-aided design tools, and then build physical prototypes (原型) using cardboard and wood. Automation is incorporated through the integration of sensors and AI models to bring smart lighting. The project also encourages students to reflect on how technology can be used to promote more sustainable living environments.
Campus Emergency Response Kits Driven by the core goal of cultivating practical care and cooperative responsibility, this project guides students to design and put together campus emergency response kits for school clinics or gyms. Kits include essential first-aid supplies, as well as a practical warning device that sounds an alarm and flashes LEDs when the button is pressed.
21. What do Light-Up Greeting Cards and Campus Emergency Response Kits have in common
A. Pair work. B. AI integration.
C. Energy focus. D. LED application.
22. What is special about the posters in Interactive Awareness Posters
A. They are fully recyclable. B. They provide campus lighting.
C. They react to surroundings. D. They’ re printed with striking images.
23. What does the project Smart Houses inspire students to think
A. How to live a low-carbon life. B. How to automate house surroundings.
C. How to prioritize digital design. D. How to use tech for greener living space.

South Florida’s coastal seawalls, which Keith Van de Riet, a professor at the University of Kansas, fittingly names the “forgotten edge”, have long posed a severe threat to marine ecosystems. These man-made concrete structures, originally built to protect human properties, have replaced the natural life-sustaining intertidal (潮间) zones with smooth single-dimensional surfaces, significantly destroying habitats that once supported a wealth of marine creatures.
As an architect and a keen fisherman, Van de Riet observed that large-scale seawall construction had eliminated winding mangrove forests and streams in the life-rich intertidal zone, where oysters, crabs and fish once thrived (繁荣). Marine organisms, which rely on gaps and holes for shelter and reproduction, find such smooth structures totally uninhabitable. He was deeply concerned about this issue.
Drawing on nature’s wisdom, Van de Riet created mangrove planters after careful research and design. These planters are intentionally cut roughly to copy natural oyster beds and mangrove roots which provide essential habitat for marine life. When hung on otherwise featureless seawalls, each planter can house two living mangrove trees, creating small but vital ecosystems that sustain marine species.
In 2023, Van de Riet had his first set of one-of-a-kind planters installed on a newly built seawall in a residential canal in South Florida. The results exceeded expectations. Within months, fish, oysters and other marine life occupied the area, turning the dead-end canal into a thriving coastal ecosystem.
Rachel Gittman, a coastal ecologist, warns that copying the complexity of natural habitats is tough yet acknowledges that Van de Riet’s planters outperform conventional seawalls by balancing human needs and marine biodiversity. She notes that scaling up such innovations requires significant policy adjustments from national and local governments.
24. Why does Van de Riet call the seawalls “forgotten edge”
A. To reveal a marine possibility. B. To criticize faulty architecture.
C. To expose ignored ecological harm. D. To emphasize geographical location.
25. What is the core concept behind Van de Riet’s design
A. Nature-based habitat restoration. B. Harmony with coastal beauty.
C. Human-focused landscape engineering. D. Survival of the fittest in nature.
26. How do Van de Riet’s planters mainly function
A. Purifying sea water. B. Establishing artificial nesting sites.
C. Securing residential areas. D. Weakening wave force on seawalls.
27. What does Gittman think is a must to promote innovations like the planters
A. Rich experience. B. Public participation.
C. Official initiatives. D. Financial investment.

While it moves awkwardly and rigidly, Northwestern University’s robot represents a remarkable breakthrough in robotics. The AI-assisted robot, composed of independent modular units like Lego blocks, can handle unexpected damage and adjust its structure and movement strategies according to external changes, demonstrating a form of “motor intelligence” rarely seen in existing robots.
Most contemporary robots are equipped with two or four legs, or rely on wheels for movement. Though expert in walking and jumping, they will break down instantly once a leg is lost. In contrast, the novel robot consists of basic modules, each integrating a circuit board, a battery and a motor, which function as the robot’s “nervous system”, “metabolism” and “muscles” respectively. Each module features only one moving joint, yet its simple mechanical design does not restrict its mobility. When connected together, these modules can form robots with three, four or five legs, enabling free shape transformation.
The core power driving the robot originates from AI algorithms (算法) that simulate natural evolution. In a virtual environment, the AI rapidly tests billions of structural combinations, discarding unworkable designs and keeping excellent ones. Within seconds, it completes the evolutionary process that would take nature billions of years, generating highly efficient robot structures beyond human imagination.
These modular robots achieved fantastic performance. They can move steadily across uneven and varied landscapes autonomously. Even when overturned or losing legs, they quickly adjust their strategies and continue moving. In tests, these robots have already exhibited movement patterns similar to leaping kangaroos and rolling seals.
“This robot excels in complex environments and more notably, its ability to self-adjust to unexpected conditions can deepen human understanding of the laws of biological evolution. teaching us about why spiders have 8 legs, centipedes a hundred and snakes no legs at all, as well as how each has adapted to navigate their environments,” noted Sam Kriegman, lead author of the study.
This novel technology advances the development of robotics. In the future, such modular parts can be mass-produced, allowing people to put together custom robots easily.
28. What is the most remarkable advantage of the novel robot
A. AI-generated system. B. Odd appearance.
C. Rhythmic movement. D. Unique adaptability.
29. What is the AI’s key role in the robot design
A. Evaluating sample data. B. Creating virtual environments.
C. Evolving ideal structures. D. Simplifying robot components.
30. Why are kangaroos and seals mentioned
A. To show motion likeness. B. To praise their skills.
C. To prove evolutionary laws. D. To compare flexibility.
31. What does Sam mainly say concerning the robot
A. Its affordability. B. Its cross-field implications.
C. Its test performance. D. Its large-scale market demand.
D
A growth mindset. pioneered by psychologist Carol Dweck, holds that intelligence and abilities can be improved through effort, practice and learning from failure. On the contrary, a fixed mindset sees these as inborn qualities that are fixed at birth and unchangeable.
Previous research has shown that a growth mindset encourages students to persevere through challenges, while a fixed mindset tends to promote early withdrawal. Yet applying this theory to real classroom settings has produced mixed and inconsistent outcomes, leading Dweck and his colleagues to conduct further investigations into the effectiveness of growth-mindset interventions and the conditions for their success. A recent analysis detailing these findings was published in Psychological Science.
This paper analyzed data from a large-scale study of a national sample of ninth-grade students in the United States called the National Study of Learning Mindsets. It focused on math grades, given that math is a topic that many students struggle with and where people hold conflicting views about the inborn capability to learn math concepts.
Students were randomly divided into two groups: one received two 25-minute lessons on the brain’s adaptability, while the control group learned about the brain without mentioning growth. Notably, the researchers assessed the teachers’ mindset as well. Statistical analysis showed the intervention significantly boosted students’ math grades, 0.11 points higher on a 4-point scale only when the teachers also had a growth mindset. When students had a teacher with a fixed mindset about learning, though, the growth mindset intervention had no reliable influence.
Though the exact reason remains unconfirmed, fixed-mindset teachers may reinforce fixed beliefs through feedback. They might explain a student’s poor performance by saying, “Math is hard and you might not be good at it.” Correspondingly, they might explain a student’s good
performance by saying, “Oh, you have a real aptitude for math.” While such feedback is positive, it reinforces the students’ mindset that they are either mathematically gifted or not. More research would be required to determine exactly why the teacher’s mindset has such a big influence on the impact of the growth-mindset intervention. Studies like this are an important part of the path to finding ways to use psychology to help students.
32. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By clarifying terms. B. By making assumptions.
C. By listing examples. D. By analyzing backgrounds.
33. How did the prior theory work in real-class situations
A. Unnoticeably. B. Unstably. C. Negatively. D. Effectively.
34. Why did the study focus on math grades
A. They indicate students’ thinking gaps.
B. They reflect students’ learning efficiency.
C. Whether math is hard depends on attitude.
D. Whether math ability is natural is debatable.
35. What does the underlined word “aptitude” in the last paragraph mean
A. Passion. B. Genius. C. Reputation. D. Taste.

In Jingdezhen, known as China’s capital of porcelain, a quiet change is taking place. The city now offers visitors more than just finished porcelain products. 36
The experience follows a clear process guided by skilled artisans. Visitors first roll the clay to remove the air inside and make it soft. Then, at a turntable, they shape the material with their hands and cups, bowls or small vases slowly take form. 37 After shaping, they add colors or words to the work, which is then fired in a kiln (瓷窑). Days later, it is mailed to their home, bringing a pleasant surprise.
This kind of experience differs greatly from buying a finished product. A store product may be perfect. It offers little emotional connection, though. 38 Every small imperfection — an uneven edge or a fingerprint — tells a story. The waiting time adds meaning. When the package finally arrives, opening it feels like meeting an old friend. Pride and joy come from the whole-hearted dedication.
39 During the process, local artisans share knowledge of traditional techniques. Ancient skills become real and touchable. Visitors learn about the seventy-two steps of porcelain making, gaining a deep insight into this time-honored Chinese craft.
Today, pottery workshops have grown into a popular highlight of Jingdezhen’s cultural tourism. 40 More importantly, they connect visitors to tradition in a meaningful way.
A. The process takes patience and focus.
B. It invites them to create their own china.
C. It also integrates tradition into technology.
D. That’s because it never bears your own touch.
E. They meet people’s desire for hands-on experiences.
F. But a self-made piece is heavy with unique memories.
G. The experience helps build a living link to cultural roots.

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。
Vast grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the “roof of the world”, have long been home to the black-necked crane (鹤). Very fond of the graceful birds, Tibetan people have regarded them as the plateau’s messengers — soft-natured, strong enough to survive the plateau’s extremes and deeply tied to the balance of their land.
Drolma and Tashi were a couple who had tended yaks (牦牛) for decades in Lhunzhub, a county near the Yarlung Zangbo River. They often paused, watching the cranes flying or dancing. As loyal protectors of the plateau’s wildlife, they had long heard of TARWPA (Tibet Autonomous Region Wildlife Protection Association), but they never thought they would contact it one day.
One cool autumn morning, while rounding up yaks near a stream, Tashi suddenly froze. There, beneath the woods, lay a black-necked crane — its body muddled and left leg missing below the knee, likely from the attack of a predator like a fox. It let out a weak cry of pain. Tashi said, “We can’t leave it here.” Drolma bent down, gently wrapping the crane in her woolen scarf.
They carried it home. Drolma gently cleaned its body with care, removed blood from its left leg and dressed its wound carefully. Then they made it a soft bed near the stove and fed it with wheat. For three days, they took turns looking after it. Its bleeding wound began to heal, but anxiety still weighed heavily on the couple. The crane could neither walk nor fly.
However, a turning point came. On Saturday, their 15-year-old son Dawa returned home from boarding school. At the sight of the injured crane, his eyes widened with surprise. Drolma and Tashi told about the whole story. Dawa’s expression turned serious and then his eyes lit up with hope. “My teacher once talked about artificial legs for animals!” Dawa said cheerfully. “But it requires professional knowledge and skills from specialized institutions.”
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右：
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“That sounds a good idea!” Drolma and Tashi responded. A month later, a call of surprise came from TARWPA.

Dear Tom,
I can’t wait to share with you the event I participated in during the school fun sports meet held recently. It’s called the three-legged race, where two partners tie their neighboring ankles together as a shared leg and run side by side. It tests cooperation, balance and speed.
To prepare well, my partner and I practiced frequently after class to adjust our pace. Despite numerous falls, we never quit and soon found our rhythm. During the race, we encouraged each other and moved forward steadily and fast. With our classmates cheering us on, we were the first to cross the finish line.
This activity not only helped us truly realize the significance of teamwork and mutual trust,but also left us with precious joy and unforgettable memories.
Yours,
Li Hua

“That sounds a good idea!” Drolma and Tashi responded. Dawa picked up the phone and successfully got in touch with TARWPA, explaining what had happened to the crane. The association was moved by their acts of kindness, promising to send staff workers to fetch the crane and have an artificial leg fitted onto it. The next day, their vehicle arrived. Drolma held the crane and put it into the vehicle gently. The crane, with its long neck stretched backwards, let out soft sad calls, as if unwilling to part with the family, who were tearfully waving goodbye.
A month later, a call of surprise came from TARWPA. It told the family that the crane had fully recovered and invited them to visit it. They could hardly believe their ears and headed for TARWPA without delay. The moment they came into sight, the crane, with its wings spreading,raced to greet them. It circled them joyfully. Drolma and Tashi stroked the crane’s feathers,delighted to see its well-fitted artificial leg. The heartwarming reunion scene was frozen in time,touching everyone present. Kindness and love bridge humans and wildlife, safeguarding this magical land.
