3M and Discovery Education announced Sean Jiang from Gilman School as one of the top ten finalists from across the nation for the 2023 3M Young Scientist Challenge. It’s a competition that encourages students to identify an everyday problem and submit a video showing the science behind the solution he or she came up with.
14-year-old Jiang decided to help those who can’t see. Blind people had a hard time navigating (导航) objects that are medium to far range. So Jiang wanted to design something to give them a heads-up on obstacles (障碍) that may be incoming.
Jiang’s inspiration came from the powers of the hearing system. “I learned in school that bats and whales are able to use echolocation (回声定位) to help them navigate and just use their sense of hearing and I also saw on YouTube some very skilled blind people that use echolocation to help them walk,” said Jiang.
Jiang started with a virtual reality setting and then made it a reality. His creation uses a depth camera that can detect how close objects are, thus giving enough time to dodge the obstacles. When a blind is walking with the device, the sensor of the depth camera gathers the information regarding the obstacles’ position and distance. Then the AI system in it will turn the distance data into musical sound guidance. This could significantly increase the walking speed of a blind person as well as decrease the number of obstacles they hit.
Some other similar programs were alright at finding objects that were in close range, but Jiang still wanted the blind to experience the world even fuller so they were able to see stuff that was much further away than their circle of reach.
In October, the top ten finalists will compete in person in Minneapolis for the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” and a $25, 000 prize.
4.What can we learn about Jiang from the first two paragraphs
A. He was the champion of the 2023 3M event.
B. He invented technology to remove road obstacles.
C. He sought to assist the blind in walking smoothly.
D. He developed a new navigation app for his school.
5.Why did Jiang mention “echolocation”?
A. To show the development of technology.
B. To present the difficulties the blind face.
C. To stress the significance of hearing.
D. To explain the inspiration of his invention.
6.What does the underlined word “dodge” mean in paragraph 4
A. Avoid. B. Encounter. C. Challenge. D. Remove.
7.What is the text mainly about
A. 3M facilities intended for the blind.
B. A teen using sound to help the blind.
C. An invention to cure vision problems.
D. A competition to improve the blind’s life.
When delivering medications to patients, one of the most effective methods is direct injection (注射) into the bloodstream using a needle. But this can be an uncomfortable experience, especially for kids or adults with a fear of needles. While patients do have the option to take oral pills instead, drugs containing large molecules (分子) are not absorbed effectively this way.
Now, inspired by octopus suckers (章鱼吸盘), researchers from China and Switzerland have designed a needle-free alternative: a tiny, drug-filled, cup-like patch (贴片) that sticks to the inside of the cheeks. The device is easily accessible, and it can be removed at any time and the drug gets absorbed through the lining of the inner cheek, the team reports in a paper in Science Translational Medicine.
To test the design, the team 3D printed the suckers. They loaded each with the drug and stuck them inside the cheeks of three beagles, a kind of dog which has a similar inner cheek lining to humans. For comparison, they also delivered the drug to beagles via a pill. After three hours, the team found that drug blood concentrations in dogs with the patch were more than 150 times higher than in the dogs that took a tablet. They also found patches worked effectively for drugs with large molecules.
40 healthy human volunteers self-applied water-filled patches to see how well they would stay on while talking and moving their mouths. After 30 minutes, only five of the 40 patches had fallen off, which was because of improper placement. Most volunteers said they would prefer a patch over injections for daily applications.
Still, the team only tested the patch for a short time so they would need to find out what would happen if it was used repeatedly. They’d also need to determine which drugs would work with the technology: the target is large molecules, such as those used to treat obesity or osteoporosis, but they can’t be too large to fit in the cup.
8.Why do the researchers develop the patch
A. To help patients overcome the fear of needles.
B. To enable kids to swallow tablets smoothly.
C. To offer a better way of drug delivery.
D. To guarantee the efficiency of oral pills.
9.What does the research on dogs prove
A. It is technologically possible to 3D print the patches.
B. The cheek lining of dogs is similar to that of humans.
C. Patches fall easily with their mouth movement.
D. Drugs are absorbed better through patches than pills.
10.Which of the following can best describe the device
A. Innovative and profitable. B. Effective and user-friendly.
C. Affordable and accessible. D. Flexible and long-lasting.
11.What does the last paragraph stress
A. The related issues to be solved.
B. The risk of using patches repeatedly.
C. The way to identity large molecules.
D. The trouble of improving the technology.
You see a shopper trip over in a busy street. Someone else can help. That’s what you tell yourself. This is the bystander effect in action — the dilution (淡化) of responsibility in the presence of others — and it has been demonstrated in many past studies.
But life is complicated and psychologists have seen exceptional circumstances. Two experiments were conducted by Marco van Bommel and his team using an online chat room for people with extreme emotional problems. Eighty-six students were logged into the forum (论坛) and shown five messages from troubled users. They were told to write a reply if they wanted, but it was entirely up to them.
Basically, participants could see their names on the screen alongside others’ names. A counter also told them if the forum was quiet, with just one other person logged in, or busy, with 30 others online. This arrangement reproduced the classic Bystander Effect-participants were less likely to post replies with more people logged in. However, when the researchers cued (提示) self-awareness by highlighting participants’ names in red on the screen, they posted more replies on a busy forum.
A second study was built on these findings, but this time self-awareness was raised by the presence, or not, of a computer web-camera. Over 100 participants took part. Although told the camera wouldn’t be used until later, those with cameras were asked to check the camera’s indicator-light during the study. The Bystander Effect was reproduced when web-cameras were absent-on busy forums participants posted fewer replies to needy users. By contrast, those cued to be self-aware by the web-cam actually wrote more replies.
Nearly any online community can benefit from the research. The ability to turn hesitant bystanders into eager helpers is a recipe for engagement and collective benefit. As in the research, simple design cues could be integrated to help online users remember they are visible to the community. For example, the size of profile images and specific on-site reminders can be used to highlight how users see themselves within the community.
12.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. The hidden danger of a busy street.
B. The bystander effect in action.
C. The dilution of responsibility.
D. The presence of other people.
13.In the first study, the participants posted more replies to the troubled when
A. there were more emotional problems
B. the counter indicated the forum was quiet
C. their presence was reminded on the screen
D. more individuals were logged in the forum
14.Why is the web-camera used in the second study
A. To encourage more replies.
B. To reproduce the bystander effect.
C. To further test participants’ mindset.
D. To better record participants’ actions.
15.What strategy can online communities learn from the research
A. Working together to attract more users.
B. Combining designs to boost users’ memory.
C. Building more platforms for public promotion.
D. Exploring ways to change bystanders into upstanders.

Saving the Daisies
Taylor aged 14 opened her sleepy eyes and looked out the window below. “NO!” she cried, now fully awake. Buttermilk the cow was in Mama’s daisy (雏菊) garden.
“I must have forgotten to close the gate last night,” Taylor thought as she pulled a sweatshirt over her head. Mama was planning to sell the daisies at the fair next week. But Buttermilk was eating the flowers. Taylor hurried outside and grabbed a rope.
“Why can’t you stay in the field ” she called to Buttermilk as she headed across the yard to the daisy garden. Buttermilk stood biting the tender flowers.
“When I grow up, I’ll be an artist and paint pictures all day,” Taylor thought. “I’ll not own a cow. Too much trouble.” Taylor was fond of painting since the day she had memory. She would like to help with family but she loved seeing birds and flowers alive under her brush more.
Just as Taylor was about to throw the rope onto Buttermilk’s collar, the family dog barked. Buttermilk couldn’t stand it and took off, tearing through the daisies. It finally ran through the open gate and into the field outside. “Thank goodness!” Taylor said as she closed the gate and secured the lock. But as she turned to look at the flower garden, most of the daisies were either eaten or left in pieces.
Mama and Dad came out of the house. “What’s going on ” Mama asked. She looked sadly at her garden. “I forgot to close the gate,” Taylor said. “I’m so sorry. ” “I know you are.” Mama sighed and gave Taylor a hug.

32.答案:①lasted②it③fully④since⑤a⑥with⑦is located⑧designing⑨traditional⑩architectures
解析:①考查时态。句意:西安是陕西的省会,在中国历史上有13个王朝建都于此,共延续了约1,100年。分析可知,所填动词在从句中作谓语动词,与主句保持时态一致,用一般过去时,动词为过去式形式。故填lasted。
②考查it作形式宾语。句意:陕西历史博物馆以展示中国古代文明为己任。分析可知,设空处为动词“considers”的宾语,即,“to be a showcase of Chinese ancient civilization”,因此,所填应是用“it”作形式宾语。故填it。
③考查副词。句意:人们称陕西历史博物馆为“古都明珠,中华瑰宝”,因为它是一座充分展示陕西历史文化和中国古代文明的艺术殿堂。分析可知,所填应是副词作状语,修饰动词“showing”。“full”,形容词,意为“满的,完全的”,其副词形式为“fully(完全地,彻底地)”。故填fully。
④考查连词和时间状语从句。句意:自1991年向公众开放以来,它的建筑和展品使它成为中国一流的博物馆。分析可知,所填应是连词,引导后文作时间状语从句。结合主句谓语动词“have made”可知,主句为现在完成时,与“since”引导的时间状语从句连用。故填since。
⑤考查不定冠词和固定短语。句意:它占地总面积65000平方米。分析可知,“a total area of…”,固定短语,意为“总面积为……”。故填a。
⑥考查介词。句意:博物馆的基本展厅分为三个展厅,其中有2000件文物,按时间顺序展示古代历史。根据结构可知应是with复合结构“with+名词+to do…”形式。故填with。
⑦考查时态和被动。句意:第一个展厅位于一楼,另外两个展厅位于二楼。分析可知,所填动词作句子的谓语动词。根据后文谓语“are”以及前后文语境可知,应是一般现在时,动词“locate(设立,把……建在)”与主语“The first exhibition hall”之间为被动关系,用一般现在时被动结构:is done。故填is located。
⑧考查省略句。句意:这位伟大的设计师在设计陕西历史博物馆的建筑时,借鉴了唐代传统的宫殿建筑。其主语与主句主语“the great designer”一致,与动词“design”为主动关系,这里用现在分词形式。故填designing。
⑨考查形容词。句意:这位伟大的设计师在设计陕西历史博物馆的建筑时,借鉴了唐代传统的宫殿建筑。分析可知,这里应是形容词作定语,修饰名词“palace construction of Tang Dynasty”。“tradition”,名词,意为“传统”,其形容词形式为“traditional(传统的)”。故填traditional。
⑩考查名词复数。句意:建筑群采用对称轴线布局,主体建筑与配套建筑排列有序,呈现出唐代特有的风貌。分析可知,“the complex 10 (architecture)”为句子的主语,用名词形式。结合谓语动词“show”可知,应是名词复数作主语。故填architectures。

34.答案: Suddenly, Taylor noticed a flower painting in the house and an idea jumped in. She raced up stairs, grabbed her art supplies and sat down at her desk. Looking at the remaining daisies below the window, she moved her brush. As her brush moved smoothly across the paper, daisies came alive. Taylor made one painting after another. The next few days witnessed Taylor’s continuing efforts and burst of creativity. She even drew the greedy Buttermilk and hot-tempered dog. Her paintings mounted but Taylor’s heart was beating more quickly as the fair day was approaching.
A week later, when her parents were loading the car, Taylor brought her paintings downstairs. With butterflies in stomach, she presented the paintings to Mama and Dad. Right in front of them were Taylor’s paintings of beautiful daisies! Mama’s eyes went wet, not just for the vivid colors, but for the sweats Taylor put in bringing the flowers back to life. She gathered Taylor into her arms. “Do you think anyone will buy them ” Taylor asked. Mama smiled, “Oh, sweetie, yes. I’m sure they will.” The sunlight then shone upon the family. Not only were the daisies saved but their family bond was also strengthened.
