When 12 girls from San Fernando High School in California were allowed to develop an invention to solve a real-world problem,they decided to create a solar-powered shelter to help the homeless.
Now for over a year,the girls have been working after school and over their winter and spring breaks to complete their project.“They have this amazing inner power that I’ve never seen,” said Violet Mardirosian.She is a math teacher at San Fernando High,who has worked with the team since the beginning of the project.“I thought at the beginning that maybe some of them would give up after meeting with some difficulties,but they go on.”
As local people of a low-income community,the girls have seen the problem of homelessness first-hand,which is why they chose that population to create a product for.Seventeen-year-old Maggie Mejia said that while she had no prior (优先的) engineering experience,the girls figured out as a team how to create the prototype (原型),using how-to videos that taught them how to do.But the most important lesson she’s learned over the course of the project isn’t professional.
“I’ve learned a lot about helping others,helping the community and being selfless and showing a better world to other people and changing someone else’s life,” she said.The girls have been invited to MIT to show their invention and are raising money on Gofundme hoping that the whole team can attend.“In order not to put any pressure on the parents,we’d like to raise money for their trip.We want all 12 girls to be able to go because every single student has had some efforts into creating this great product,” Mardirosian said.
Mardirosian says all the students taking part in the project have expressed interest in going into technical fields and that students from lower grades are already expressing interest in taking part in the project next year.
24.The shelter is powered by taking advantage of 　　　　.
A.sunlight B.earth heat
C.wind D.moving water
25.In the opinion of Violet Mardirosian,the girls 　　　　.
A.are all from rich families
B.felt blue when facing the problem
C.are helpful students with a strong will
D.got lots of support from their teachers and parents
26.How did the girls figure out how to create the prototype
A.By reading books.
B.By asking experts.
C.By doing experiments.
D.By watching videos.
27.It can be inferred from the passage that 　　　　.
A.all girls have no interest in technical fields
B.girls need help to present the invention at MIT
C.only one girl can go to MIT to show their invention
D.helping others makes girls learn how to work together
C
Ancient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today,thousands of years later.Roman engineers built thick concrete sea barriers,for example.And Chinese builders raised walls against invaders.But there are many recent structures that are already starting to fail.The concrete that makes up much of our modern world lasts around 50 to 100 years.
A growing number of scientists have been studying materials from long ago.They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years.The research has turned up a surprising list of materials that were mixed into old buildings.They include tree bark,volcanic ash,rice,beer and even urine (尿液).These unexpected materials could have the ability to get stronger over time and “heal” cracks when they form.
Figuring out how to copy these features could have real impacts today.While our modern concrete has the strength to hold up very tall buildings and heavy infrastructure (基础结构),it cannot compete with the endurance of these ancient materials.With the rising threats of climate change,there is a growing call to make construction more sustainable.A recent UN report estimates that the built environment is responsible for more than a third of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide.Cement (水泥) production alone makes up more than 7 percent of those emissions.
Is ancient Roman concrete better In places where seawater has been hitting structures for ages,you will find concrete “basically the way it was when it was poured 2,000 years ago,” said John Oleson,an archaeologist at the University of Victoria in Canada.
Most modern concrete starts with Portland cement,a powder made by heating limestone (石灰岩) and clay to super-high temperatures and breaking them up.That cement is mixed with water to create a paste.Then,materials like rock and gravel are added.Records from ancient builders show the Roman process was similar.The ancient builders mixed materials like burnt limestone and volcanic sand with water and rocks,creating chemical reactions to tie everything together.
Now,scientists think they have found an important reason why some Roman concrete has held up structures for thousands of years.The ancient material has an unusual power to repair itself.Exactly how is not yet clear,so scientists are starting to find reasons why.
28.What is the purpose of the comparison in Paragraph 1
A.To introduce a topic.
B.To list a motivation.
C.To give a definition.
D.To present an argument.
29.Which aspect of ancient Roman building materials surprises scientists
A.Their necessary ingredients.
B.Their processing procedure.
C.Their amazing sustainability.
D.Their high-end technology.
30.According to the passage,it remains a mystery 　　　　.
A.what made up those ancient Roman materials
B.where the ancient Roman materials were produced
C.how those ancient Roman materials were transported
D.why the ancient Roman materials healed automatically
31.Where is the text probably from
A.A travel brochure.
B.A science fiction.
C.An architecture essay.
D.An environment report.

What images does science conjure up (使浮现) in your mind You may well be visualizing a laboratory,equations (方程式) written on a blackboard.Figures are surrounded by glassware filled with colored liquids.Maybe someone is studying the world under a microscope.
But what this scene fails to show is that science isn’t about labs,equipment or highly trained professionals.It’s not even a body of knowledge locked away in great minds or kept within textbooks and journals.Instead,it’s about having a curious,creative,critical and evidence-based mindset,which means anyone who uses the scientific method can and should consider themselves a scientist.Indeed,many a discovery has been made by amateur (业余的) scientists.
Amateur scientists are helping to shape science.In January 2023,a new study confirmed the theory of amateur archaeologist Ben Bacon who concluded 20,000-year-old cave markings were a lunar calendar.He spent hours decoding (破译) the mysterious writing system,which may predate other similar record-keeping systems by at least 10,000 years.
Astronomy has a long history of encouraging input from nonprofessional scientists.Brother and sister team William and Caroline Herschel are among the most well-known.Back down on the ground there is still plenty for the amateur to explore.Mary Anning is one of the most notable amateur Earth scientists.
In the early 19th century,Mary Anning unearthed fossils (化石) on the beaches of Lyme Regis,Dorset.Despite her limited education,she read as much scientific literature as she could get her hands on and produced detailed technical drawings to record her finds.Unfortunately,the influential Geological Society of London did not allow female members.So Anning was forced to sell her finds to “gentlemen” geologists who passed her work off as their own.
32.Why does the author mention the images in paragraph 1
A.To explain what science is.
B.To introduce how scientists experiment.
C.To show people’s general opinion of science.
D.To stress the importance of having scientific equipment.
33.What does the author think of scientific discovery
A.It relies on labs and equipment.
B.It requires an innovative mindset.
C.It is mainly done by professionals.
D.It is irrelevant to amateur scientists.
34.How is paragraph 3 mainly developed
A.By giving an example.
B.By following time order.
C.By making a comparison.
D.By analyzing cause and effect.
35.Why did Anning sell her finds to other geologists
A.She sold them for money.
B.She considered them unimportant.
C.She wanted to pursue higher education.
D.She experienced inequality in the scientific field.
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。
What is the most important thing a scientist needs 　36　 So I’m going to talk about three important things.
Asking questions
Most scientists are inspired by wanting to understand how things in the world work.　37　 The questions might be driven by curiosity about something amazing in nature,like “Why do these birds have such fancy feathers (羽毛) ”Or they might be driven by wanting to help communities or even the whole world with a problem,like “What can we do about climate change ”
Finding answers
How do scientists investigate the world to find answers It often takes a lot of training and some creativity.　38　 It goes like this:
1.Ask a question;
2.Come up with a guess or hypothesis (假设) to answer your question;
3.Do an experiment to test your hypothesis;
4.Report what you learned,so others can learn from it too.
　39　 But many others don’t.Some scientists do experiments.Some make observations instead,or create models of the things they want to learn about.
There is always more to learn
Becoming a scientist takes a lot of learning.But it is important for scientists to keep in mind they don’t know everything.The relationship between science and truth is complicated (复杂的).Scientists work hard to learn true things about the world.　40　 A few hundred years ago,people thought that when we get sick it’s because of some sort of poison in the air.Then we learned about bacteria and viruses,and figured out they can make us sick.But we still haven’t figured out how everything works.
A.That means they start by asking questions.
B.There is a thing called the scientific method.
C.Science doesn’t have to involve experiments.
D.But the things we think are true change over time.
E.Unfortunately,there’s not really one simple answer.
F.Also,not all scientific projects start with a hypothesis and then test it.
G.This is a good way to do science,and many scientists always follow these steps.

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。
I used to be a lonely girl sitting at the back of the classroom.Having failed the college entrance exams and changed schools twice,I seldom smiled.Every day I would sit at the desk,staring into textbooks and exercises,motionless and heavy-hearted.However,my classmates were in a different picture.They were playing,laughing and chatting delightedly.Besides,I hated it when they were always answering the teachers’ questions,loudly and confidently.Obviously,I had no friends in this fiercely competitive class.
Life is harder for senior students.Hardly does a day go by without exercises or tests.Every time when the scores came out,mine wouldn’t be the first or second but last.I was especially tired of the endless exercises and exams,which I seemingly would never do well in.I was under a lot of pressure,feeling like a fish being fried in a pan.
Hanging over me was a dark cloud.The only dim light came from Mr.Smith.Every time I stepped into the classroom,he welcomed me with a warm smile;every time my gaze began to wander over the classroom or stare out of the window,his caring eyes would draw me back to his class.Besides,he was the only teacher who invited me to the office,talking about my studies and scores.I remembered when I came out of his office,I felt refreshed believing that I could work harder.
I was feeling everything was changing for the better.I prepared hard for the final exam of the first semester,desiring to prove that I was not the last one.So before Mr.Smith told us the test result,I was expecting something good in store for me.
But I was still the last one in the class.A burst of sadness and shame consuming me,I was heartbroken.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Right at that moment,Mr.Smith invited me to his office.

When 12 girls from San Fernando High School in California were allowed to develop an invention to solve a real-world problem,they decided to create a solar-powered shelter to help the homeless.
Now for over a year,the girls have been working after school and over their winter and spring breaks to complete their project.“They have this amazing inner power that I’ve never seen,” said Violet Mardirosian.She is a math teacher at San Fernando High,who has worked with the team since the beginning of the project.“I thought at the beginning that maybe some of them would give up after meeting with some difficulties,but they go on.”
As local people of a low-income community,the girls have seen the problem of homelessness first-hand,which is why they chose that population to create a product for.Seventeen-year-old Maggie Mejia said that while she had no prior (优先的) engineering experience,the girls figured out as a team how to create the prototype (原型),using how-to videos that taught them how to do.But the most important lesson she’s learned over the course of the project isn’t professional.
“I’ve learned a lot about helping others,helping the community and being selfless and showing a better world to other people and changing someone else’s life,” she said.The girls have been invited to MIT to show their invention and are raising money on Gofundme hoping that the whole team can attend.“In order not to put any pressure on the parents,we’d like to raise money for their trip.We want all 12 girls to be able to go because every single student has had some efforts into creating this great product,” Mardirosian said.
Mardirosian says all the students taking part in the project have expressed interest in going into technical fields and that students from lower grades are already expressing interest in taking part in the project next year.

Ancient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today,thousands of years later.Roman engineers built thick concrete sea barriers,for example.And Chinese builders raised walls against invaders.But there are many recent structures that are already starting to fail.The concrete that makes up much of our modern world lasts around 50 to 100 years.
A growing number of scientists have been studying materials from long ago.They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years.The research has turned up a surprising list of materials that were mixed into old buildings.They include tree bark,volcanic ash,rice,beer and even urine (尿液).These unexpected materials could have the ability to get stronger over time and “heal” cracks when they form.
Figuring out how to copy these features could have real impacts today.While our modern concrete has the strength to hold up very tall buildings and heavy infrastructure (基础结构),it cannot compete with the endurance of these ancient materials.With the rising threats of climate change,there is a growing call to make construction more sustainable.A recent UN report estimates that the built environment is responsible for more than a third of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide.Cement (水泥) production alone makes up more than 7 percent of those emissions.
Is ancient Roman concrete better In places where seawater has been hitting structures for ages,you will find concrete “basically the way it was when it was poured 2,000 years ago,” said John Oleson,an archaeologist at the University of Victoria in Canada.
Most modern concrete starts with Portland cement,a powder made by heating limestone (石灰岩) and clay to super-high temperatures and breaking them up.That cement is mixed with water to create a paste.Then,materials like rock and gravel are added.Records from ancient builders show the Roman process was similar.The ancient builders mixed materials like burnt limestone and volcanic sand with water and rocks,creating chemical reactions to tie everything together.
Now,scientists think they have found an important reason why some Roman concrete has held up structures for thousands of years.The ancient material has an unusual power to repair itself.Exactly how is not yet clear,so scientists are starting to find reasons why.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家研究了世界上一些古代建筑屹立上千年而不倒的原因。

What images does science conjure up (使浮现) in your mind You may well be visualizing a laboratory,equations (方程式) written on a blackboard.Figures are surrounded by glassware filled with colored liquids.Maybe someone is studying the world under a microscope.
But what this scene fails to show is that science isn’t about labs,equipment or highly trained professionals.It’s not even a body of knowledge locked away in great minds or kept within textbooks and journals.Instead,it’s about having a curious,creative,critical and evidence-based mindset,which means anyone who uses the scientific method can and should consider themselves a scientist.Indeed,many a discovery has been made by amateur (业余的) scientists.
Amateur scientists are helping to shape science.In January 2023,a new study confirmed the theory of amateur archaeologist Ben Bacon who concluded 20,000-year-old cave markings were a lunar calendar.He spent hours decoding (破译) the mysterious writing system,which may predate other similar record-keeping systems by at least 10,000 years.
Astronomy has a long history of encouraging input from nonprofessional scientists.Brother and sister team William and Caroline Herschel are among the most well-known.Back down on the ground there is still plenty for the amateur to explore.Mary Anning is one of the most notable amateur Earth scientists.
In the early 19th century,Mary Anning unearthed fossils (化石) on the beaches of Lyme Regis,Dorset.Despite her limited education,she read as much scientific literature as she could get her hands on and produced detailed technical drawings to record her finds.Unfortunately,the influential Geological Society of London did not allow female members.So Anning was forced to sell her finds to “gentlemen” geologists who passed her work off as their own.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。并不是只有科学家才能从事科学发明,业余科学家也能做出重要的科学发现。
32.Why does the author mention the images in paragraph 1
A.To explain what science is.
B.To introduce how scientists experiment.
C.To show people’s general opinion of science.
D.To stress the importance of having scientific equipment.
答案　C　[推理判断题。根据第一段的“What images does science conjure up (使浮现) in your mind...Maybe someone is studying the world under a microscope.”可知,作者在第一段提到这些场景是为了展示人们对科学的普遍观点。]
33.What does the author think of scientific discovery
A.It relies on labs and equipment.
B.It requires an innovative mindset.
C.It is mainly done by professionals.
D.It is irrelevant to amateur scientists.
答案　B　[观点态度题。根据第二段中的“it’s about having a curious,creative,critical and evidence-based mindset”可知,作者认为科学发现需要创造性思维。]
34.How is paragraph 3 mainly developed
A.By giving an example.
B.By following time order.
C.By making a comparison.
D.By analyzing cause and effect.
答案　A　[写作手法题。根据第三段的“Amateur scientists are helping to shape science...predate other similar record-keeping systems by at least 10,000 years.”可知,本段主要通过举例的方式说明了业余科学家也会为科学发展做出重要的贡献。]
35.Why did Anning sell her finds to other geologists
A.She sold them for money.
B.She considered them unimportant.
C.She wanted to pursue higher education.
D.She experienced inequality in the scientific field.
答案　D　[细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Unfortunately,the influential Geological Society of London...passed her work off as their own.”可知,当时颇具影响力的伦敦地质学会不允许女性会员加入,因此Anning只能被迫把自己的研究成果卖给别的男性地质学家。]
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。
What is the most important thing a scientist needs 　36　 So I’m going to talk about three important things.
Asking questions
Most scientists are inspired by wanting to understand how things in the world work.　37　 The questions might be driven by curiosity about something amazing in nature,like “Why do these birds have such fancy feathers (羽毛) ”Or they might be driven by wanting to help communities or even the whole world with a problem,like “What can we do about climate change ”
Finding answers
How do scientists investigate the world to find answers It often takes a lot of training and some creativity.　38　 It goes like this:
1.Ask a question;
2.Come up with a guess or hypothesis (假设) to answer your question;
3.Do an experiment to test your hypothesis;
4.Report what you learned,so others can learn from it too.
　39　 But many others don’t.Some scientists do experiments.Some make observations instead,or create models of the things they want to learn about.
There is always more to learn
Becoming a scientist takes a lot of learning.But it is important for scientists to keep in mind they don’t know everything.The relationship between science and truth is complicated (复杂的).Scientists work hard to learn true things about the world.　40　 A few hundred years ago,people thought that when we get sick it’s because of some sort of poison in the air.Then we learned about bacteria and viruses,and figured out they can make us sick.But we still haven’t figured out how everything works.
A.That means they start by asking questions.
B.There is a thing called the scientific method.
C.Science doesn’t have to involve experiments.
D.But the things we think are true change over time.
E.Unfortunately,there’s not really one simple answer.
F.Also,not all scientific projects start with a hypothesis and then test it.
G.This is a good way to do science,and many scientists always follow these steps.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了对于科学家来说最重要的三件事。
36.E　[该空处为设问的回答,承上启下。根据该空前的“What is the most important thing a scientist needs ”和该空后的“So I’m going to talk about three important things.”可知,科学家需要的最重要的东西并不能一言以蔽之,作者在下文提到了三件重要的事情,E项“遗憾的是,关于这个问题并没有一个简单的答案。”符合此处的语境。E项中的answer与该空前的问句相呼应。]
37.A　[设空处补充说明前一句。根据本段的小标题Asking questions以及该空前句可知,本段主要讲述了科学发明首先需要提出问题,许多科学家想要知道世界上的事情是如何运转的,从而受到激励开始科学探索,A项“这意味着他们首先得提出问题。”符合此处的语境。A项中的they指代该空前的scientists,且A项中的asking questions原词复现该段小标题Asking questions。]
38.B　[根据该段首句“How do scientists investigate the world to find answers ”以及该空后的“It goes like this”可知,该空指出了科学家寻找答案的方法,B项“有一种东西叫作科学的方法。”符合此处的语境。]
39.G　[该空与后一句为转折关系。根据该空后的“But many others don’t...the things they want to learn about.”可知,并不是所有的科学家都使用上述方法,其他科学家使用了很多与之不同的科研方法,G项“这是个很好的科研方式,许多科学家都遵循这些步骤。”符合此处的语境。]
40.D　[设空处与前一句为转折关系,与后面的内容为例证关系。根据该空前以及该空后内容可知,科学家需记住他们并不了解一切事物,他们需要不断地进行探索,因为我们所认为的对的事情会随着时代的发展而变化,故D项“我们所认为正确的事情随着时间的推移会发生改变。”符合此处的语境。D项中的true与上文中的truth和true为原词复现关系。]

I’m glad to be here to make a speech.As for me,a person of value is not just about personal achievements but meaningful contributions.
The role model that inspires me most is Dr.Yuan Longping,a pioneer in agriculture.His commitment to developing hybrid rice has helped feed millions and alleviate hunger.Dr.Yuan’s life teaches us that being valuable means making a meaningful impact on the lives of others.
To be a person of value starts with small actions.I’ll set clear learning goals,and earnestly devote myself to acquiring knowledge to be a helpful contributor to my people,and even the world.
Thank you!

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。
I used to be a lonely girl sitting at the back of the classroom.Having failed the college entrance exams and changed schools twice,I seldom smiled.Every day I would sit at the desk,staring into textbooks and exercises,motionless and heavy-hearted.However,my classmates were in a different picture.They were playing,laughing and chatting delightedly.Besides,I hated it when they were always answering the teachers’ questions,loudly and confidently.Obviously,I had no friends in this fiercely competitive class.
Life is harder for senior students.Hardly does a day go by without exercises or tests.Every time when the scores came out,mine wouldn’t be the first or second but last.I was especially tired of the endless exercises and exams,which I seemingly would never do well in.I was under a lot of pressure,feeling like a fish being fried in a pan.
Hanging over me was a dark cloud.The only dim light came from Mr.Smith.Every time I stepped into the classroom,he welcomed me with a warm smile;every time my gaze began to wander over the classroom or stare out of the window,his caring eyes would draw me back to his class.Besides,he was the only teacher who invited me to the office,talking about my studies and scores.I remembered when I came out of his office,I felt refreshed believing that I could work harder.
I was feeling everything was changing for the better.I prepared hard for the final exam of the first semester,desiring to prove that I was not the last one.So before Mr.Smith told us the test result,I was expecting something good in store for me.
But I was still the last one in the class.A burst of sadness and shame consuming me,I was heartbroken.

Right at that moment,Mr.Smith invited me to his office.Hesitantly,I walked into the office.Mr.Smith greeted me with a smile.As he began talking,not about my grades or mistakes,but about my potential and perseverance,it became apparent that this talk was totally a different one.He didn’t blame me.Instead,he praised my resilience and determination.He encouraged me to embrace my struggles,reminding me that success was never a straight path.In his eyes,I could see his belief in me,and I knew I should never quit.
Finally,the college admission letter came.I held it in my shaking hands,doubting whether I was in a world of fantasy.But as I opened the envelope,I couldn’t believe my eyes.Despite all the odds,I got admitted! I stared at the letter in disbelief for a long time.It felt like the dawn after a seemingly endless night,a reward for the perseverance I didn’t know I had until Mr.Smith showed me.Tears welling up in my eyes,Mr.Smith might never know how much his encouragement might mean to me in my toughest time.
