The Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished (卓越的) Americans, Inc., a nonprofit that honors leaders who have overcome difficulties and supports young people in furthering their education, announced that Eileen Collins, retired U.S. Air Force Colonel and Former Space Shuttle Commander at NASA, will receive the famous Horatio Alger Award and become a lifetime member of the organization.
Collins was born in Elmira, New York, in a household that faced financial hardship and instability. Despite these challenges, she developed an early interest in aviation (航空) and space, and a dream of becoming a pilot.
After earning an associate’s degree from Corning Community College, Collins earned her bachelor’s (学士) degree in mathematics and economics at Syracuse University, where she joined the Air Force ROTC program. After college, she received her master’s degrees from Stanford University and Webster University. Collins was the first woman to earn pilot’s licenses at Vance Air Force Base.
Her distinguished career with NASA included commanding the first space shuttle mission following the Columbia disaster. Over the course of her career, she practiced in 30 different types of aircraft and logged 872 hours in space.
“As a child, I dreamed of becoming a great explorer, admiring the pilots and astronauts who came before me. Those dreams, which once seemed impossible, taught me the value of determination, and the courage to keep moving forward in the face of hardship,” said Eileen Collins.
Beyond her groundbreaking career, Collins is deeply committed to charity and teaching. She served on the Astronaut Memorial Foundation Board of Directors for nine years and remains on its Board of Advisors. She also supports the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation and has used her career to inspire others to pursue their dreams in aviation, business and science.
As the first woman to pilot and command a NASA Space Shuttle, Eileen Collins showed what is possible through education, determination, and hard work. She became a role model for young people seeking not only careers in aviation, but the courage to chart their own path.
24. What was special about Collins’s educational path
A. It was funded by an organization. B. It followed a fast-track route.
C. It skipped professional training. D. It was entirely military-focused.
25. What can we learn about Collins from paragraph 4

C. She experienced the Columbia disaster. D. She commanded an challenging task.
26. Which of the following words can best describe Collins

When people feel a strange pain or notice a worrying symptom (症状), more and more of them are skipping the doctor’s office and heading straight to an AI chatbot. It’s fast, free, and available at any time. But a study suggests that convenience might come with a serious catch: even the best-performing AI medical descriptions were wrong about one out of every five times.
Despite this risk, many medical professionals were interviewed about what doctors think about this phenomenon. Some patients will turn to AI first. Let’s look at their broader views on AI in medicine. On the positive side, they saw real potential for AI to improve health literacy (素养): helping patients understand their conditions, explore possible explanations for symptoms, and feel more engaged in their own care. Several noted that AI could serve as a useful first step for people who are delaying a symptom needs a doctor’s visit, potentially easing the burden on overcrowded hospital rooms.
Concerns ran equally deep. Every doctor interviewed raised worries about depending on AI too much. One described the situation of a father being falsely reassured by an AI while his child was seriously ill. Another pointed out the risk that patients from groups historically underrepresented in medical research might receive less accurate responses, which could make existing health differences even worse.
Privacy was another concern. Several doctors warned that people entering detailed personal health information into AI chatbots may face serious data risks. Questions about mental health drew special concern. The interviewers said AI responses on mental health topics could be actively dangerous, with one suggesting that if an AI can’t deal with a mental health issue responsibly, it simply shouldn’t respond at all.
A 20% error rate would be considered unacceptable in almost any medical setting. Researchers are direct about this: these results are not a green light for using AI chatbots as substitutes (替代) for professional medical advice. People who depend on these tools for health decisions should treat them as a starting point for conversation, not a final answer. In medicine, “pretty good” has never been good enough.
28. What does the second paragraph mainly focus on
A. Positive effects of AI in medical care. B. Doctors warn patients not to use AI.
C. AI may give wrong medical suggestions. D. Ways to raise people’s health awareness.
29. How does the author present doctors’ worries in paragraph 3
A. By explaining how AI chatbots work. B. By giving examples of possible harm.
C. By comparing AI with hospital machines. D. By quoting findings from previous studies.
30. What did the interviewees think of AI’s performance on mental health
A. It offers expert advice typically. B. It should respond to every operation.
C. AI may wrongly harm some users. D. It deals with mental issues with care.
31. Why does the author write the text
A. To call on using AI before seeing a doctor.
B. To explain why patients prefer AI over doctors.
C. To present doctors’ mixed opinions on AI tools.
D. To show the risks of depending on AI in medicine.
D
The world is facing a significant challenge, with about 2.2 billion people lacking access to safe drinking water, as reported by the United Nations (UN). However, there is wonderful news: Nobel Prize-winning professor Omar Yaghi has developed a new device that offers a promising solution by extracting moisture (水分) directly from the air to create clean drinking water. Remarkably, this device works even in extremely hot deserts and has passed strict tests in Death Valley successfully.
Professor Yaghi, honored with the 2025 Nobel Prize in chemistry, believes that this invention can “change the world”, particularly for those living in dry areas and communities. Yaghi’s journey to this invention was shaped by his own experiences—growing up in a refugee (难民) community in Jordan, where he often faced challenges with access to running water and electricity. He still recalls the exhaustion and urgency in his neighborhood when the announcement came that water would be available, emphasizing the importance of this precious resource.
The key technology of the device is a special material called metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which can catch water vapor (水蒸气) from very dry air. Once this moisture is gathered, it is transformed into clean drinking water by the device. The technology is a great breakthrough for humans, when traditional water resources are limited.
Yaghi also set up a company to produce practical equipment. Each equipment unit is as big as a 20-foot shipping container and can produce 1,000 liters of clean water every day, which is highly efficient. Moreover, the device can operate independently of traditional power grids (电网), making it ideal for remote regions that lack proper water facilities. Its design offers a perfect solution for situations where transporting water or constructing pipelines is not feasible.
In his Nobel speech, he said science could reshape our world. He also encouraged global leaders to break limitations and achieve clean water to everyone on earth through innovation. With such great technology, we believe clean water will be accessible to everyone around the world in the future.
32. What inspired Professor Yaghi to invent the water device
A. His business challenges. B. His childhood experience.
C. The Nobel Prize’s recognition. D. A refugee community’s request.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly discuss about the device
A. Its operating conditions. B. Its necessary materials.
C. Its working principles. D. Its functional advantages.
34. What does the underlined word “feasible” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Necessary. B. Useful. C. Popular. D. Practical.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. A New Device Turns Air into Clean Drinking Water
B. The Economic Effect of a Nobel Winner’s Invention
C. Academic Freedom Promotes Scientific Innovation
D. The Significance of Using Water Resources Wisely

A professional cleaner arrives at the door with an unusual partner—a specialized domestic robot. This futuristic scene is now a reality in Shenzhen, China, where the nation’s first home cleaning robot has officially entered the consumer service market.
Chen Gao, a resident of Bao’an District, got a firsthand look at this human-robot cooperation when she booked a home cleaning service one morning. 37 It moves steadily across the floor with flexible mechanical arms, arranging daily items in order and tying up garbage bags carefully. Working side by side, the two clean every corner of the house and turn messy rooms into neat and comfortable spaces.
38 However, the attempt turned out much better than expected. The robot stood quietly at the living room entrance, its camera scanning as it “observed” the space. When it noticed children’s toys on the floor, it automatically cleaned detaches, picking up one toy by one from the outermost edge and placing them in a box. This “observe first, plan later” approach made Long see the robot not just as a machine, but as a “thoughtful helper”.
With time going by, the two have formed an efficient division of labor. The robot is responsible for repetitive and labor-intensive tasks. 39 For Long Mei, the robot is never a threat to her job. On the contrary, it greatly eases her daily workload.
This special human-robot teamwork has left a deep impression on many residents. They think the new housekeeping model is convenient and caring. 40 Bookings for the next two weeks are all fully reserved according to the robot’s developer.
A. The silver robot is about 1.5 meters tall.
B. A limited number of robots are used currently.
C. Long focuses on work requiring a personal touch.
D. It will be packed and sent away by an engineer.
E. They are willing to accept this new form of home service.
F. Long felt curious and unsure when first working with the robot.

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。
Rohan was not the kind of student who usually made first in class. He worked hard, completed his homework on time, and respected his teachers, but there was always someone who scored a bit higher. He never complained, though. His father often reminded him, “Marks matter, but honesty matters more.” Rohan believed that—or so he thought.
Then came the day when the math exam results were announced. The classroom buzzed with nervous whispers. Some students prayed silently, while others tapped their pencils anxiously. When Mrs. Sharma began calling out names, Rohan’s heart raced. He had studied extremely hard and hoped for a satisfying score.
“Rohan,” Mrs. Sharma called. He stepped forward and took his paper with shaking hands. Looking at the top, he froze: 95 out of 100—the highest score he had ever achieved. His best friend Arun, who usually topped the class, had only 93. Rohan felt overjoyed.
“Well done, Rohan! You’ve earned it,” Arun smiled sincerely. Rohan forced a smile, yet he felt uneasy. Checking his paper carefully, he spotted a careless calculation (计算) mistake in Question 7. He clearly remembered being unsure about that answer. But Mrs. Sharma had given him full marks.
His fingers tightened around the paper. “No one will notice,” a small voice inside him whispered. “Just three points. You worked hard anyway.” Another voice insisted, “But it’s wrong.”
If he told the truth, his marks would drop to 92 and he would lose the first place. For a moment, he imagined going home and sharing his parents the 95. They would be so proud. His father might even bring sweets to celebrate. But his heart felt heavy.
He recalled a time when his father had returned extra change that a shopkeeper had given him by mistake. “Son,” he told Rohan that day, “wealth got without honesty never brings peace.”
Rohan stared at his exam paper again. The number “95” no longer brought him excitement, only guilt (愧疚). Slowly, he rose, legs shaking.

Dear Bryan,
Knowing that you are interested in the tech exhibition that I have recently visited, I’m writing to share my experience with you briefly.
The exhibition, launched in the science center last week, featured a variety of cutting-edge inventions with the theme of “Envision the Future Life”. There I witnessed the artificial intelligence used in diverse fields, like smart appliances, transportation system and health monitoring. More interestingly, the guide demonstrated how science and innovation were working together to make future life more convenient, efficient, and sustainable.
The tech exhibition left me totally amazed, which will be set to redefine our lives and spark my eagerness for what lies ahead.
Yours,
Li Hua
读后续写范文
Rohan walked toward Mrs. Sharma’s desk, hands sweating. “Mrs. Sharma, I ... I found a mistake in my paper.” He pointed to Question 7, his eyes fixed on the paper. “This answer is wrong, but you gave me full marks. I should only get 92.” The classroom fell silent for a moment. Mrs. Sharma examined the paper carefully, and then looked up at him with surprise. “You’re right, Rohan. I missed this error.” She adjusted the score on his paper, writing 92 instead of 95. “I’m proud of you, Rohan,” she said softly, her eyes warm with praise.
Back at his seat with the corrected paper, Rohan was surprised by his classmates’ reaction. Instead of feeling sorry for him, Aarav clapped him on the shoulder, and other students nodded in admiration, some even whispering words of praise. The 92 points now felt heavier yet lighter—though he’d given up the top spot, his heart was at peace. Mrs. Sharma praised his honesty in front of the whole class, calling it “the most valuable score”. Rohan realized that true success isn’t measured by ranks or scores. It’s the courage to admit mistakes, and he got far more precious self-respect that day.
