Some Ohio high school students have become winners in a national contest (竞赛) after inventing a mobile phone app that helps needy families find local food pantries (公益食品仓库).
And someday the teens, who are students at Ross High School in Ross Township, may be selling the app to food pantries and food banks across America.
The app was created as part of a computer science class — coordinated (协调) by Butler Tech career school system at the high school. Three students, Jacob Kahmann, Gunner Nonnamaker and Kyle Inderhees, recently were visited by Congressman Warren Davidson, who praised their work. Davidson lauded the teens for creating “this app to set the standard for efficient food collection and distribution (分发).”
Butler Tech IT Instructor Tom O’Neill said the students’ app includes characteristics that help users locate the nearest food pantry and improve food collection processes, and that the national contest provides a real-life learning chance for his students.
The students are continuing to make additions to the app and are working on turning it into a product, said O’Neill, who in recent years has helped many Ross High School teens win national honors for their computer-science-based inventions.
“The teachers and students in the Ross School District continue to amaze me with their future-thinking and creation,” said Superintendent Scott Gates. “Our students are not only thinking about careers, they are thinking about problems they want to change, solve or improve. The app that was created will make serving a population in need more efficient.”

Electric scooter (踏板车) companies are turning to technology to try to reduce accidents and injuries among riders and pedestrians ( 行人). The problem has become so serious that countries including Singapore, France and Spain have banned e-scooters on pedestrian walkways. A study of more than 100 riders surveyed in Washington, D. C., found that nearly three in five were injured while riding on a sidewalk, even in places where it was banned.
Swedish operator Voi — which has more than 6 million scooter riders across 50 European cities — has worked with Dublin startup Luna to develop a system of cameras and sensors that can make out what surface a scooter is riding on, as well as the presence of nearby pedestrians.
The technology works in real time. A small camera fixed on the e-scooter films the lane ( 车道) ahead, while an algorithm ( 计算程序) — trained on thousands of pictures and videos — makes out the surrounding environment. With this information, the scooter can be programmed to react in a number of ways. “It could slow down its speed as the rider goes up on a sidewalk; it could reduce the speed if it discovers pedestrians on the pathway ... It could give warnings to both the rider and the surroundings if the technology discovers behavior that we feel is unsafe,” says Shahin Ghazinouri, Vice President of Hardware Engineering at Voi.
Exactly how Voi’s scooters will react is yet to be decided, he adds, and will depend on results from a year-long trial of the technology in Northampton, England. During the first stage of the trial, e-scooters fitted with Luna’s technology were ridden by Voi employees. Luna CEO Andrew Fleury expects, in the second stage, the scooters will be rolled out across Northampton for public use.
Other e-scooter companies are developing similar systems. Alexandre Santacreu, the author of the International Transport Forum’s 2020 report on micromobility, says that while the technology developed by e-scooter companies is promising, addressing city infrastructure ( 基础建设) and motor vehicle speed limits should come first. Accidents among riders and pedestrians often “happen in places where scooter riders do not feel safe on the streets and they go onto the walkways,” he says. To deal with this, cities must introduce more cycle routes and work on slowing down cars, says Santacreu.
28. What is the problem mentioned in the first paragraph
A. Many countries have banned e-scooters.
B. E-scooters have caused a lot of accidents.
C. Few e-scooter riders follow all traffic laws.
D. The number of e-scooters is rising rapidly.
29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. How the new technology works.
B. The testing of the new technology.
C. Why the new technology was developed.
D. The disadvantage of the new technology.
30. What can we learn about the new technology’s first-stage trial
A. It lasted one year.
B. It had mixed success.
C. It was carried out by Voi’s employees.
D. It was held without Luna’s cooperation.
31. What does Alexandre Santacreu consider most important
A. Slowing down e-scooters.
B. Improving the new technology.
C. Providing lanes for e-scooter riders.
D. Banning e-scooter riders on streets.
D
When Dmitry Ivanovsky was still a student in 1887 he began his work on the Tobacco Mosaic Disease (烟草花叶病). The disease appeared to take hold in tobacco plants early on in their growth cycle, causing green and brown mosaics on the affected leaves. Ivanovsky first repeated and confirmed experiments performed by Adolf Mayer in which he took diseased leaves, extracted their sap (the liquid in a plant that carries food to all its parts), and injected (注入) the sap into healthy plants. Up to 80% of the healthy plants then became infected in these experiments.
Ivanovsky originally thought the disease was bacterial, and so he designed an experiment in which the diseased sap of a tobacco plant was filtered (过滤) through a Chamberland filter-candle which could filter out bacteria and works much like a modern water purifier. After filtering the sap, Ivanovsky injected it into healthy tobacco leaves. When the healthy plants began to show signs of infection, Ivanovsky proved bacterial filtering of diseased sap did not prevent the disease, and thus the infective creatures had to be unlike any bacteria that they had seen before.
Additionally, Ivanovsky provided evidence that the creature that was infecting tobacco plants was more of a particle ( 颗 粒) than a liquid. He thought that the disease was more likely caused by either a living creature or a large molecule (分子). In his 1902 research paper he concluded: The sap of diseased plants was infectious; when the infected sap is heated, it is no longer infectious (heat changes the structure and characteristics of RNA and virus proteins, essentially killing them, so this makes sense); infection through bacteria may cause the disease.
It wasn’t until advancements in technology in the early-to-mid 20th century allowed scientists to take the first images of viruses that we were able to identify the Tobacco mosaic virus, and thus separated it from other living creatures such as bacteria and fungi. But it is because of the early work of Ivanovsky and Mayer scientists are able to understand viruses and viral diseases and continue the search for life-saving vaccines for fatal diseases such as COVID-19.
32. What did Adolf Mayer’s experiments prove
A. The sap of diseased tobacco plants is infectious.
B. The mosaics on infected plants are green or brown.
C. The disease affects tobacco plants at an early stage.
D. The infective creature threatens most tobacco plants.
33. Why did Ivanovsky use a Chamberland filter-candle in his experiment
A. To put much pressure on infected leaves.
B. To add some pure water to the infected sap.
C. To filter infected food in the tobacco leaves.
D. To remove the infective bacteria in the sap.
34. Which of the following does the author support
A. Filtering the diseased sap can prevent the disease.
B. The infected sap is no longer infectious when heated.
C. Some kind of large molecules might cause the disease.
D. The unknown creature was more of a particle than a liquid.
35. What was the significance of Ivanovsky’s work
A. It showed the differences between viruses and bacteria.
B. It took the first images of the Tobacco mosaic virus.
C. It made later identification of the virus possible.
D. It led to an effective life-saving vaccine.

My grandfather belonged to a world of formal manners. He was handsome, always perfectly dressed, neat and tidy in his appearance. But that was only one part of my grandfather’s character. He was also the kindest and the most generous person I have ever known.
One story returns to my memory again and again. I was 16 and took part in a school play. We had been preparing for the play for several months; it was our yearly event. All our parents, family and friends were scheduled to attend.
Our teacher, Mr. Razin, was devoted to art and took even a school play very seriously. He had written our play himself and he was committed to making sure it would succeed. He had strong views on social equality and he had written a play about a group of people who met a bedraggled (全身泥污的) homeless tramp (流浪者). That was the plot.
Then disaster struck. The man who was to play the elderly tramp called in and told Mr. Razin that he could not appear. He did not give a reason. His unexpected decision shocked our teacher, and the cast (全体演员) sat looking at each other in hopelessness. It was two hours before the opening, and soon the audience seats would be full. The tramp was on stage the entire ninety minutes of the play. In addition, he was an old man, and we were all under twenty.
“Where can I find an actor at the last minute !” cried Mr. Razin. At that moment, I heard the familiar, sharp click of a man’s shoes, and my grandfather walked in. He was on his way to a formal event that night and had come to promise me that he would see most of the play even though he would have to leave early because of the event at which he had to make a speech. I took my grandfather aside and explained what had happened and that we probably would not be able to perform the play that night. I then introduced him to my teacher.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The teacher stopped and looked at my grandfather.
My grandfather then said to Mr. Razin quietly:“I will do the part.”

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Kevin,
I’m writing to tell you about the English speech contest I participated in last Friday afternoon in the school lecture hall.
In my speech, I quoted the great achievements some world-famous scientists made and how their spirit has been inspiring me. My fluent spoken English and my passion eventually helped me win first prize. The contest greatly improved my determination to devote myself to scientific research and make contributions to human life.
What’s your opinion on recent scientific achievements Please write and tell me.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
The teacher stopped and looked at my grandfather. “Sir, you can save our play!” cried Mr. Razin in an extremely excited voice. “You are our answer! You are the right age! You have almost no lines! Our play can go on!” Nothing could have seemed more unbelievable. Nobody looked more formal than Grandfather: white tie, shirt, trousers, and a pair of black leather shoes. My grandfather asked me: “Will you really have to cancel the play after all your hard work ” I nodded.
My grandfather then said to Mr. Razin quietly: “I will do the part.” I quickly explained that he was playing a homeless tramp and that he would have to wear a costume. Within one hour, Mr. Razin changed my grandfather into a homeless tramp who wore a dirty T-shirt and neither socks nor shoes. The play began and my grandfather played his part perfectly. The theater was filled with people. He had done it for me. That was my grandfather. I still remember that day and always will.

Some Ohio high school students have become winners in a national contest (竞赛) after inventing a mobile phone app that helps needy families find local food pantries (公益食品仓库).
And someday the teens, who are students at Ross High School in Ross Township, may be selling the app to food pantries and food banks across America.
The app was created as part of a computer science class — coordinated (协调) by Butler Tech career school system at the high school. Three students, Jacob Kahmann, Gunner Nonnamaker and Kyle Inderhees, recently were visited by Congressman Warren Davidson, who praised their work. Davidson lauded the teens for creating “this app to set the standard for efficient food collection and distribution (分发).”
Butler Tech IT Instructor Tom O’Neill said the students’ app includes characteristics that help users locate the nearest food pantry and improve food collection processes, and that the national contest provides a real-life learning chance for his students.
The students are continuing to make additions to the app and are working on turning it into a product, said O’Neill, who in recent years has helped many Ross High School teens win national honors for their computer-science-based inventions.
“The teachers and students in the Ross School District continue to amaze me with their future-thinking and creation,” said Superintendent Scott Gates. “Our students are not only thinking about careers, they are thinking about problems they want to change, solve or improve. The app that was created will make serving a population in need more efficient.”

Electric scooter (踏板车) companies are turning to technology to try to reduce accidents and injuries among riders and pedestrians ( 行人). The problem has become so serious that countries including Singapore, France and Spain have banned e-scooters on pedestrian walkways. A study of more than 100 riders surveyed in Washington, D. C., found that nearly three in five were injured while riding on a sidewalk, even in places where it was banned.
Swedish operator Voi — which has more than 6 million scooter riders across 50 European cities — has worked with Dublin startup Luna to develop a system of cameras and sensors that can make out what surface a scooter is riding on, as well as the presence of nearby pedestrians.
The technology works in real time. A small camera fixed on the e-scooter films the lane ( 车道) ahead, while an algorithm ( 计算程序) — trained on thousands of pictures and videos — makes out the surrounding environment. With this information, the scooter can be programmed to react in a number of ways. “It could slow down its speed as the rider goes up on a sidewalk; it could reduce the speed if it discovers pedestrians on the pathway ... It could give warnings to both the rider and the surroundings if the technology discovers behavior that we feel is unsafe,” says Shahin Ghazinouri, Vice President of Hardware Engineering at Voi.
Exactly how Voi’s scooters will react is yet to be decided, he adds, and will depend on results from a year-long trial of the technology in Northampton, England. During the first stage of the trial, e-scooters fitted with Luna’s technology were ridden by Voi employees. Luna CEO Andrew Fleury expects, in the second stage, the scooters will be rolled out across Northampton for public use.
Other e-scooter companies are developing similar systems. Alexandre Santacreu, the author of the International Transport Forum’s 2020 report on micromobility, says that while the technology developed by e-scooter companies is promising, addressing city infrastructure ( 基础建设) and motor vehicle speed limits should come first. Accidents among riders and pedestrians often “happen in places where scooter riders do not feel safe on the streets and they go onto the walkways,” he says. To deal with this, cities must introduce more cycle routes and work on slowing down cars, says Santacreu.
28. What is the problem mentioned in the first paragraph
A. Many countries have banned e-scooters.
B. E-scooters have caused a lot of accidents.
C. Few e-scooter riders follow all traffic laws.
D. The number of e-scooters is rising rapidly.
29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. How the new technology works.
B. The testing of the new technology.
C. Why the new technology was developed.
D. The disadvantage of the new technology.
30. What can we learn about the new technology’s first-stage trial
A. It lasted one year.
B. It had mixed success.
C. It was carried out by Voi’s employees.
D. It was held without Luna’s cooperation.
31. What does Alexandre Santacreu consider most important
A. Slowing down e-scooters.
B. Improving the new technology.
C. Providing lanes for e-scooter riders.
D. Banning e-scooter riders on streets.
D
When Dmitry Ivanovsky was still a student in 1887 he began his work on the Tobacco Mosaic Disease (烟草花叶病). The disease appeared to take hold in tobacco plants early on in their growth cycle, causing green and brown mosaics on the affected leaves. Ivanovsky first repeated and confirmed experiments performed by Adolf Mayer in which he took diseased leaves, extracted their sap (the liquid in a plant that carries food to all its parts), and injected (注入) the sap into healthy plants. Up to 80% of the healthy plants then became infected in these experiments.
Ivanovsky originally thought the disease was bacterial, and so he designed an experiment in which the diseased sap of a tobacco plant was filtered (过滤) through a Chamberland filter-candle which could filter out bacteria and works much like a modern water purifier. After filtering the sap, Ivanovsky injected it into healthy tobacco leaves. When the healthy plants began to show signs of infection, Ivanovsky proved bacterial filtering of diseased sap did not prevent the disease, and thus the infective creatures had to be unlike any bacteria that they had seen before.
Additionally, Ivanovsky provided evidence that the creature that was infecting tobacco plants was more of a particle ( 颗 粒) than a liquid. He thought that the disease was more likely caused by either a living creature or a large molecule (分子). In his 1902 research paper he concluded: The sap of diseased plants was infectious; when the infected sap is heated, it is no longer infectious (heat changes the structure and characteristics of RNA and virus proteins, essentially killing them, so this makes sense); infection through bacteria may cause the disease.
It wasn’t until advancements in technology in the early-to-mid 20th century allowed scientists to take the first images of viruses that we were able to identify the Tobacco mosaic virus, and thus separated it from other living creatures such as bacteria and fungi. But it is because of the early work of Ivanovsky and Mayer scientists are able to understand viruses and viral diseases and continue the search for life-saving vaccines for fatal diseases such as COVID-19.
32. What did Adolf Mayer’s experiments prove
A. The sap of diseased tobacco plants is infectious.
B. The mosaics on infected plants are green or brown.
C. The disease affects tobacco plants at an early stage.
D. The infective creature threatens most tobacco plants.
33. Why did Ivanovsky use a Chamberland filter-candle in his experiment
A. To put much pressure on infected leaves.
B. To add some pure water to the infected sap.
C. To filter infected food in the tobacco leaves.
D. To remove the infective bacteria in the sap.
34. Which of the following does the author support
A. Filtering the diseased sap can prevent the disease.
B. The infected sap is no longer infectious when heated.
C. Some kind of large molecules might cause the disease.
D. The unknown creature was more of a particle than a liquid.
35. What was the significance of Ivanovsky’s work
A. It showed the differences between viruses and bacteria.
B. It took the first images of the Tobacco mosaic virus.
C. It made later identification of the virus possible.
D. It led to an effective life-saving vaccine.

My grandfather belonged to a world of formal manners. He was handsome, always perfectly dressed, neat and tidy in his appearance. But that was only one part of my grandfather’s character. He was also the kindest and the most generous person I have ever known.
One story returns to my memory again and again. I was 16 and took part in a school play. We had been preparing for the play for several months; it was our yearly event. All our parents, family and friends were scheduled to attend.
Our teacher, Mr. Razin, was devoted to art and took even a school play very seriously. He had written our play himself and he was committed to making sure it would succeed. He had strong views on social equality and he had written a play about a group of people who met a bedraggled (全身泥污的) homeless tramp (流浪者). That was the plot.
Then disaster struck. The man who was to play the elderly tramp called in and told Mr. Razin that he could not appear. He did not give a reason. His unexpected decision shocked our teacher, and the cast (全体演员) sat looking at each other in hopelessness. It was two hours before the opening, and soon the audience seats would be full. The tramp was on stage the entire ninety minutes of the play. In addition, he was an old man, and we were all under twenty.
“Where can I find an actor at the last minute !” cried Mr. Razin. At that moment, I heard the familiar, sharp click of a man’s shoes, and my grandfather walked in. He was on his way to a formal event that night and had come to promise me that he would see most of the play even though he would have to leave early because of the event at which he had to make a speech. I took my grandfather aside and explained what had happened and that we probably would not be able to perform the play that night. I then introduced him to my teacher.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The teacher stopped and looked at my grandfather.
My grandfather then said to Mr. Razin quietly:“I will do the part.”

第二节
One possible version:
The teacher stopped and looked at my grandfather. “Sir, you can save our play!” cried Mr. Razin in an extremely excited voice. “You are our answer! You are the right age! You have almost no lines! Our play can go on!” Nothing could have seemed more unbelievable. Nobody looked more formal than Grandfather: white tie, shirt, trousers, and a pair of black leather shoes. My grandfather asked me: “Will you really have to cancel the play after all your hard work ” I nodded.
My grandfather then said to Mr. Razin quietly: “I will do the part.” I quickly explained that he was playing a homeless tramp and that he would have to wear a costume. Within one hour, Mr. Razin changed my grandfather into a homeless tramp who wore a dirty T-shirt and neither socks nor shoes. The play began and my grandfather played his part perfectly. The theater was filled with people. He had done it for me. That was my grandfather. I still remember that day and always will.
