Despite Kyle Tianshi being only a 15-year-old US high schooler,he has published five sci-fi novels.His fifth book Eventide was released in July.However,this may not be his most impressive achievement as Kyle just received the “Hero Award”,a $20,000 grand prize.It is the top honor in the California Youth Sustainability Awards.The competition aims to encourage and support young community leaders who are making a difference for sustainability in their communities by taking action for the planet.
Kyle,a sophomore from the Cambridge School in the US,received the honor for his portable invention called NEREID.The device can detect microscopic particles(粒子) in water by using a laser and microscope.These particles can be harmful to people and the environment.
Kyle came up with the idea for the invention based on his experience growing up in San Diego,California,US.People had no access to unpolluted drinking water and his parents asked him not to drink tap water.Kyle spent about $60 buying the tools needed to analyze the tap water:a laser,a microscope and a micro-computer.“It’s incredibly powerful for the price,”Kyle said.Then he used their family’s garage as his laboratory,doing research on the pollution of drinking water caused by micro-plastics.
Kyle hopes to bring to market a low-cost alternative tool for detecting micro-plastic pollution levels in drinking water.In this way,he can offer help to people who don’t have access to water filtration(过滤) systems.He has applied for a patent.
Kyle said his sister Emily,a freshman at Stanford University,inspired his interest in environmental research.She was recognized nationally for developing a water collection device.They have founded the Clearwater Innovation program to advocate for clean water through social media platforms and organize community cleanup events.
4.What do we know about Kyle
A.He is good at adapting sci-fi works.
B.He entered many novel contests.
C.He received an award for his invention.
D.He’s found microscopic particles in water.
5.What led to Kyle’s creation of NEREID

The global population growing,the climate is warming,and,no surprise,the demand for energy is steadily increasing.We need to use less energy in any way that we can.
German design student Tobias Tribenbacher,from the University of the Arts Berlin,has created a street light called Papilio in response to global sustainability initiatives,saying that he initially chose to create a city-facing street light due to such lights’ role in tight pollution.
Papilio can be mounted to walls or set up as a freestanding lantern.The lamp should ideally be placed between three to six metres above ground,where ground-level winds are the strongest.The lamp is shaped like a pinwheel that acts as a wind turbine(涡轮),catching the wind to produce its own energy.It also has a rechargeable battery that stores electricity,so the lamp can operate even on less windy days.
Another key component of the lamp is the light itself.The warm-colored light doesn’t draw the attention of insects,and it uses an infrared(红外线的) sensor so that the light is only started by nearby motion,reducing its contribution to light pollution.
Aside from saving public space and beautifying streets,the street light’s design is also a visual signal of clean energy in action.“Design not only determines how street lights are working.It can also shape our attitude towards them and consequently affect how we use them,”Tobias Tribenbacher says.“Because energy creation is often an invisible process,projects such as these help the production of electricity become comprehensible.”
The lamp’s ability to change wind power into electricity can also be a huge benefit to naturally windy areas.And since it doesn’t require any electrical infrastructure(基础设施),there will be an opportunity to fix the street lights in remote settings or places where infrastructure innovations can be cost-prohibitive.
Just as lanterns create the character of streets and squares,Papilio is envisioned as a public sustainability statement that motivates residents to take part in transforming our cities into climate-friendly,future-proof environments.
8.Why did Tribenbacher choose to create the street light
A.To tackle light pollution.
B.To reduce biodiversity loss.
C.To beautify the city he lives in.
D.To draw public attention to waste.
9.Which of the following is the feature of the street light
A.It occupies a large space.
B.It can be fixed anywhere.
C.It is switched off by hand.
D.It is unattractive to insects.
10.What do Tribenbacher’s words in paragraph 5 imply
A.The climate crisis is tough to address.
B.Design can facilitate our comprehension.
C.We must take action to save clean energy.
D.We know little about electricity generation.
11.What is the purpose of the text
A.To stress the importance of innovation.
B.To introduce a wind-powered street light.
C.To advocate environmental sustainability.
D.To analyze the sustainability of the street light.

There are few places on Earth that humans haven’t messed up.Now even Antarctica,the only continent with no permanent human inhabitants,is being altered by us.A study found that the increasing human presence in Antarctica is causing more snowmelt—bad news for a frozen world already battling the effects of human-caused global warming.
Black carbon,the dark dusty pollution that comes from burning fossil fuels has settled in locations where tourists and researchers spend a lot of time,scientists found.Even the smallest amount of the dark pollutant can have a significant impact on melting because of its very low reflectiveness:things that are light in color,like snow,reflect the sun’s energy and stay cool;things that are dark,like black carbon,absorb the sun’s energy and warm up.
“The snow albedo(反射率) effect is one of the largest uncertainties in regional and global climate modeling right now,”Alia Khan,a snow and ice scientist at Western Washington University,told CNN.“That’s one of the motivations for the study,to quantify the impact of black carbon on regional snowmelt,which is important for quantifying the role of black carbon in the global loss of snow and ice.”
“Antarctica is sitting there pretty much silently all year.But,if it weren’t there,in the state that it is meant to be,the balance that we have in the climate system will no longer be,”Marilyn Raphael,a geography professor said.“Antarctica’s sea ice is also important to maintain a balance in atmospheric circulation,”he added.As waters get warmer,some Antarctic creatures are finding their homes more and more unlivable.
“Everything we do has consequences,”Raphael said.“We need to educate ourselves about those consequences,especially in systems that we know relatively little about.We have to be careful that we don’t upset the climate balance.”
15.Why can the smallest amount of black carbon have a huge impact on melting
A.It is highly reflective.
B.Its dark colour absorbs heat.
C.It produces vast energy.
D.It causes much pollution.
16.According to Alia,which of the following is one reason for conducting the study
A.To measure the impact of black carbon on melting.
B.To quantify the cost of battling against climate change.
C.To remove the uncertainties of global warming effects.
D.To urge people to pay more attention to melting problem.
17.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A.The change caused by Antarctic ice melting.
B.The methods to stop Antarctic ice melting.
C.The significance of Antarctic being in its state.
D.The sufferings Antarctic creatures are experiencing.
18.What does Raphael advise people to do
A.Reduce tourist numbers.
B.Face the consequences.

Ever wondered if dogs can learn new words?Yes,say researchers as they have found that talented dogs may have the ability to grasp new words after hearing them only four times.
While previous evidence seems to show that most dogs do not learn words,unless eventually very well trained,a few individuals have shown some extraordinary abilities,according to a study published in the journal Scientific Reports.
“We wanted to know under which conditions the gifted dogs may learn novel words,” said researcher Claudia Fugazza from the E tv s Lor?nd University in Hungary.For the study,the team involved two gifted dogs,Whisky and Vicky Nina.The team exposed the dogs to the new words in two different conditions.
In the exclusion-based task,presented with seven known toys and one new toy,the dogs were able to select the new toy when presented with a new name.Researchers say this proves that dogs can choose by exclusion when faced with a new word,they selected the only toy which did not have a known name.
However,this was not the way they would learn the name of the toy.In fact,when they were presented with one more equally new name to test their ability to recognize the toy by its name,the dogs got totally confused and failed.
The other condition,the social one,where the dogs played with their owners who pronounced the name of the toy while playing with the dog,proved to be the successful way to learn the name of the toy,even after hearing it only 4 times.“The rapid learning that we observed seems to equal children’s ability to learn many new words at a fast rate around the age of 18 months,”Fugazza says.“But we do not know whether the learning mechanisms(机制) behind this learning are the same for humans and dogs.”
To test whether most dogs would learn words this way,20 other dogs were tested in the same condition,but none of them showed any evidence of learning the toy names,confirming that the ability to learn words rapidly in the absence of formal training is very rare and is only present in a few gifted dogs.
19.What was the purpose of the study published in Scientific Reports
A.To better train dogs’ ability to learn new words.
B.To further confirm previous evidence about dogs.
C.To prove extraordinary memory abilities of gifted dogs.
D.To explore favorable conditions for gifted dogs’ new-word learning.
20.How did the dogs react when exposed to two new names in the first condition
A.Slow to understand.
B.Quick to learn.
C.At a loss.
D.In a panic.
21.What was found about dogs’ new-word learning in the social condition
A.Learning through playing applied to most dogs.
B.The social condition helped dogs learn new words.
C.Dogs’ new-word learning turned out to be less effective.
D.Dogs shared similar learning mechanisms with children.
22.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.Gifted Dogs Can Learn New Words Rapidly
B.Dogs Identify Newly-named Toys by Exclusion
C.Dogs Can Acquire Vocabulary through Tons of Training
D.Gifted Dogs Have Similar Learning Abilities to Humans
