Shanya Gill, a 12-year-old middle schooler from San Jose, California, won the top award in the Society for Science’s annual middle school competition for designing a fire detection system that is superior to existing ones, according to a press release from the organization.
Shanya’s inspiration came after a fire destroyed a restaurant in her neighborhood during the summer of 2022, reported Washington Post. “I had never really experienced something like that before,” she told Washington Post about the early morning fire at Holder’s Country Inn, which started in the kitchen. “They had smoke detectors, and yet it still burned down,” she added.
After she studied fire statistics and saw how common fires are, Shanya decided that she was going to do something about it. She spent more than a year developing a fire detection system that she believes could prevent the fire. That’s because smoke detectors sense active fires from the smoke in the air, while Shanya’s thermal （热的） imaging device is designed to stop fires from occurring.
Her complex system has two parts, a thermal camera and a Raspberry Pi, a tiny computer. The device detects when a heat source has been left unattended for ten minutes and sends a text message.
Creating the prototype （原型） was difficult and the hardest part was the coding. “I had two designs, and the final device succeeded because it outperforms smoke detectors in speed and accuracy.” Shanya wants to bring the costs down to $60 to make it even more affordable than hardwired smoke detectors.
“Shanya saw a problem, went after it and tried to solve it, and that’s what we need to encourage with all young people,” said Ajmera, president and CEO of Society for Science. Her remarkable research not only reflects her talent but also paves the way for an exciting new future.
（ ）24．What inspired Shanya to design the fire detection system
A．A neighbor’s burnt kitchen. B．A report on Washington Post.
C．A terrible restaurant experience. D．A horrible fire in her community.
（ ）25．How can Shanya’s fire detection system help prevent fire
A．By having people updated. B．By sending a warning mail.
C．By controlling the water tap. D．By putting out a heat source.
（ ）26．Why did the final device succeed
A．It was cheap and simple. B．It was fast and precise.
C．It was complex and unique. D．It was affordable and convenient.
（ ）27．What may Ajmera agree
A．Teenagers are the architect of the future.
B．A problem is a chance to bring out the best.
C．The thirst for knowledge is a never-ending one.
D．The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Are you an early bird or a night owl Our activity patterns and sleep cycles could influence our risk of heart disease. New research published in Experimental Physiology found wake/sleep cycles cause metabolic （新陈代谢） differences and change our body’s preference for energy sources.
Researchers from Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA classified participants into two groups (early and late) based on their natural tendency to seek activity and sleep at different times. The participants were monitored for a week to assess their activity patterns across the day. They ate a calorie and nutrition-controlled diet and had to fast overnight to minimise dietary impact on the results. To study fuel preference, they were tested while at rest before completing two 15-minute period of exercise: one moderate and one high intensity session on a running machine. Aerobic （有氧的） fitness levels were tested through an incline （斜坡） challenge where the incline was raised 2.5% every two minutes until the participant reached a point of exhaustion.
The researchers found that those who stay up later have a reduced ability to use fat for energy, meaning fats may build up in the body and increase the risk of heart disease. People who are “early birds” rely more on fat as an energy source and are more active during the day with higher levels of aerobic fitness than “night owls”. On the other hand, “night owls” use less fat for energy at rest and during exercise.
Researchers also found that early birds use more fat for energy at both rest and during exercise than night owls. Professor Steven Malin from Rutgers University said, “We found that early birds are more physically active and have higher fitness levels than night owls. Further research is needed to examine the link between exercise and metabolic adaptation to identify whether exercising earlier in the day has greater health benefits.”
（ ）28．What does the underlined word “fast” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Move quickly. B．Exercise regularly. C．Go without food! D．Fall sound asleep.
（ ）29．How was the research con ducted
A．By making a survey. B．By making contrasts.
C．By providing examples. D．By introducing a concept.
（ ）30．What is the characteristic of the “early birds”
A．Having lower fitness level. B．Using less fat during exercise.
C．Being more active during the night. D．Consuming more fat at rest.
（ ）31．What is Malin’s attitude to the result of the research
A．Uncertain. B．Pessimistic. C．Indifferent. D．Tolerant.
D
“You’re so smart!” This encouraging response to children’s math performance is commonly heard. Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time.
Parents who make comments linking their children’s performance to personal characteristics like intelligence are using what’s referred to as person responses. In contrast, parents who link their children’s actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses.
For the study, researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they responded to their children’s math performance and their math beliefs and goals. Children were assessed in two waves across a year to measure their math motivation and achievement.
The results show that parents who view math ability as changeable are more likely to give process responses focused on their children’s strategy use and efforts rather than their intelligence or other personal characteristics. In contrast, parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be constructive give more person responses. Parents with high expectations for their children give a combination of both responses. While responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes, children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics—in particular, related to failure—are more likely to avoid harder math problems, exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests.
Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home. Another recommendation for parents is to think about their own beliefs and goals for their kids and examine how these might lead them to respond in person or process ways. Simply telling parents to avoid talking about math ability may not be enough. Focusing less on how children perform and more on their strategy and enjoyment of math might be a more effective way to enhance motivation.
（ ）32．Which of the following is an example of process response
A．You are a lucky dog. B．Running is in your blood.
C．What works well for your study D．Why are you such a math genius
（ ）33．What can be inferred from the study results
A．Parents prefer to give more process responses.
B．Children are more likely to be affected by math anxiety.
C．Process responses help with children’s math achievement.
D．Person responses can discourage children from learning math.
（ ）34．What do researchers advise parents to do
A．Restrict person responses. B．Defend their own beliefs.
C．Stress children’s performance. D．Ignore children’s math problems.
（ ）35．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．The Strategy Children Adopt to Learn Math Helps
B．The Way. Parents Talk, to Children on Math Matters
C．Responses to Enhance Children’s Math Performance
D．Suggestions for Parents to Teach Their Children Math
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。
The summer heat and humidity （湿度） can make even the most dedicated outdoor runner feel unmotivated. For those who want an alternative to running on the roads without losing their fitness, deep water running, or aqua jogging, could be a useful cross-training exercise. Many runners turn to deep water running as the final option when they are injured because aqua jogging is not weight-bearing. 36
To get into this exercise, you will need access to a pool that is deep enough so that your feet don’t touch the ground. The depth of the water should be at least five inches less than your height. 37 There are different kinds available to purchase or rent online and at swimming pools. Wear one that feels comfortable.
The best way to aqua jog is to imitate （模仿） running on land. The movement of your arms and legs should look similar to land-based running. Everything except your head and the top part of your shoulders should be underwater. 38 But practice a running motion once you feel more confident in your balance and core control.
39 Runners should treat the first three session s as a learning experience rather than a hard workout. Workouts can be continuous, easy running or a combination of short bursts at a comfortably hard pace followed by brief periods at an easier active recovery pace. The sessions can be as short as 20 minutes.
As helpful as it is, aqua jogging is not meant to replace all of your regular running. Your heart rate will be slightly lower while aqua jogging for the same level of exercise on land. 40
A．Work your legs up as you would in a run.
B．Getting used to running in the pool takes time.
C．A cycling action of the legs is easier to start with.
D．Professional instructions are essential for beginners.
E．So increase your speed if you want to increase intensity.
F．It provides massive benefits to healthy individuals, too.
G．A floatation belt around your waist will help your running techniques.

One evening I was running late for a meeting and I passed a friend in the hallway.

Instead of showing empathy （同理心）, my friend asked thought-provoking （引人深思的） question, “What would have happened if your guardian angel hadn’t created those 45 ” The inference was that I might have been 46 something much worse than being late for a meeting. My immediate reaction was to 47 and walk on, but later I began to 48 what he had asked. Over the next few days, the more I thought about his question, the more 49 I was able to see in it.
I thought about my 50 experiences as well as the things that had happened to me, and the seed he had 51 started to grow. I remembered an uncle who was late for a flight and the flight he had missed 52 . I remembered when 53 kept me from accidents on the same road I was traveling on.
Ever since my friend gave me his advice in the form of a 54 , I have become less stressed. Keeping the advice in mind makes me more at ease and has 55 my life.

A skywell, or “tian jing” in Chinese, is a typical feature of a traditional home in Southern and Eastern China. They are commonly seen in homes 56 (date) to the Ming and Qing dynasties, which 57 (design) to house different generations of relatives. Despite their varied sizes and designs, these skywells are typically square and located in 58 heart of the house. They serve to allow in light, enhance airflow, and harvest rainwater.
Since decades ago, the government 59 (advocate) green buildings, promoting environmentally-friendly practice. The increased interest towards traditional Chinese architecture is leading to the restoration of historic buildings with skywells 60 modern use. Architects are also looking towards the principles behind the skywells while designing new buildings 61 (save) energy. The Dongguan TBA Tower in Guangdong Province, for example, brings natural airflows into every floor with internal “windpipes” 62 function in a similar way to skywells. The aim is to keep the building’s temperature 63 (comfort) in all seasons, using only natural airflow.
The fact that skywells still exist today shows 64 clever ancient builders were in using nature’s elements to create energy-sufficient and sustainable living spaces. These timeless architectural 65 (wonder) continue to inspire architects in their efforts to find green solutions for cooling homes and buildings.

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。
On a sunny early spring morning, Anna, together with her grandchildren Julie, Fred and Erik, was playing happily in the backyard. While playing, Anna said to the kids, “I am going to plant something in the garden. Who would like to help me ”
“What are you going to plant, Grandma ” asked Julie. “I like pleasant, bright-colored roses.”
“But I like lively, big, yellow sunflowers!” said Fred.
“Well, I’m going to plant some vegetables so that we can have fresh vegetables to eat when they are ready,” said Anna.
“How long does that take ” asked Erik. He liked vegetables sometimes, especially tomatoes.
“It will take several months before anything is ready to eat,” answered Anna. The kids were surprised.
“Several months Why would you do all that work and then have to wait so long ” asked Julie. “Why not just go to the store and buy them ”
“Patience, my sweeties! Don’t you know food always tastes best when you grow it yourself ” replied Anna. “And if all of you come to help, it won’t be too much work.”
“I’ll help you, Grandma,” offered Erik. He put down the basketball and went to look at the gardening tools Anna had laid out. “What should we do first ” Fred and Julie came over to have a look, too.
Firstly, Anna taught Erik how to use a travel （小铲子） to dig rows of small holes for the seeds. Next, she showed Julie how to pour the seeds into each hole carefully. And then it was Fred’s job to cover up the holes with soil little by little. Finally, Julie wrote the vegetable names on sticks that Erik pushed into the ground. “This way we can remember which vegetable seeds we have planted,” said Anna.
After planting everything, the kids took turns in filling up the watering pot so that Anna could make the soil nice and wet for the seeds to start to grow.
“From now on, we just water them a little each day, and with some time and sunshine, we’ll have some delicious things to eat in the summer,” said Anna.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Every time the kids came to visit, they would rush into the garden as fast as possible.
Eventually, Anna said, “It was about time for the first harvest.”

Shanya Gill, a 12-year-old middle schooler from San Jose, California, won the top award in the Society for Science’s annual middle school competition for designing a fire detection system that is superior to existing ones, according to a press release from the organization.
Shanya’s inspiration came after a fire destroyed a restaurant in her neighborhood during the summer of 2022, reported Washington Post. “I had never really experienced something like that before,” she told Washington Post about the early morning fire at Holder’s Country Inn, which started in the kitchen. “They had smoke detectors, and yet it still burned down,” she added.
After she studied fire statistics and saw how common fires are, Shanya decided that she was going to do something about it. She spent more than a year developing a fire detection system that she believes could prevent the fire. That’s because smoke detectors sense active fires from the smoke in the air, while Shanya’s thermal （热的） imaging device is designed to stop fires from occurring.
Her complex system has two parts, a thermal camera and a Raspberry Pi, a tiny computer. The device detects when a heat source has been left unattended for ten minutes and sends a text message.
Creating the prototype （原型） was difficult and the hardest part was the coding. “I had two designs, and the final device succeeded because it outperforms smoke detectors in speed and accuracy.” Shanya wants to bring the costs down to $60 to make it even more affordable than hardwired smoke detectors.
“Shanya saw a problem, went after it and tried to solve it, and that’s what we need to encourage with all young people,” said Ajmera, president and CEO of Society for Science. Her remarkable research not only reflects her talent but also paves the way for an exciting new future.
（ ）24．What inspired Shanya to design the fire detection system
A．A neighbor’s burnt kitchen. B．A report on Washington Post.
C．A terrible restaurant experience. D．A horrible fire in her community.
（ ）25．How can Shanya’s fire detection system help prevent fire
A．By having people updated. B．By sending a warning mail.
C．By controlling the water tap. D．By putting out a heat source.
（ ）26．Why did the final device succeed
A．It was cheap and simple. B．It was fast and precise.
C．It was complex and unique. D．It was affordable and convenient.
（ ）27．What may Ajmera agree
A．Teenagers are the architect of the future.
B．A problem is a chance to bring out the best.
C．The thirst for knowledge is a never-ending one.
D．The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Are you an early bird or a night owl Our activity patterns and sleep cycles could influence our risk of heart disease. New research published in Experimental Physiology found wake/sleep cycles cause metabolic （新陈代谢） differences and change our body’s preference for energy sources.
Researchers from Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA classified participants into two groups (early and late) based on their natural tendency to seek activity and sleep at different times. The participants were monitored for a week to assess their activity patterns across the day. They ate a calorie and nutrition-controlled diet and had to fast overnight to minimise dietary impact on the results. To study fuel preference, they were tested while at rest before completing two 15-minute period of exercise: one moderate and one high intensity session on a running machine. Aerobic （有氧的） fitness levels were tested through an incline （斜坡） challenge where the incline was raised 2.5% every two minutes until the participant reached a point of exhaustion.
The researchers found that those who stay up later have a reduced ability to use fat for energy, meaning fats may build up in the body and increase the risk of heart disease. People who are “early birds” rely more on fat as an energy source and are more active during the day with higher levels of aerobic fitness than “night owls”. On the other hand, “night owls” use less fat for energy at rest and during exercise.
Researchers also found that early birds use more fat for energy at both rest and during exercise than night owls. Professor Steven Malin from Rutgers University said, “We found that early birds are more physically active and have higher fitness levels than night owls. Further research is needed to examine the link between exercise and metabolic adaptation to identify whether exercising earlier in the day has greater health benefits.”
（ ）28．What does the underlined word “fast” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Move quickly. B．Exercise regularly. C．Go without food! D．Fall sound asleep.
（ ）29．How was the research con ducted
A．By making a survey. B．By making contrasts.
C．By providing examples. D．By introducing a concept.
（ ）30．What is the characteristic of the “early birds”
A．Having lower fitness level. B．Using less fat during exercise.
C．Being more active during the night. D．Consuming more fat at rest.
（ ）31．What is Malin’s attitude to the result of the research
A．Uncertain. B．Pessimistic. C．Indifferent. D．Tolerant.

“You’re so smart!” This encouraging response to children’s math performance is commonly heard. Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time.
Parents who make comments linking their children’s performance to personal characteristics like intelligence are using what’s referred to as person responses. In contrast, parents who link their children’s actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses.
For the study, researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they responded to their children’s math performance and their math beliefs and goals. Children were assessed in two waves across a year to measure their math motivation and achievement.
The results show that parents who view math ability as changeable are more likely to give process responses focused on their children’s strategy use and efforts rather than their intelligence or other personal characteristics. In contrast, parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be constructive give more person responses. Parents with high expectations for their children give a combination of both responses. While responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes, children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics—in particular, related to failure—are more likely to avoid harder math problems, exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests.
Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home. Another recommendation for parents is to think about their own beliefs and goals for their kids and examine how these might lead them to respond in person or process ways. Simply telling parents to avoid talking about math ability may not be enough. Focusing less on how children perform and more on their strategy and enjoyment of math might be a more effective way to enhance motivation.
（ ）32．Which of the following is an example of process response
A．You are a lucky dog. B．Running is in your blood.
C．What works well for your study D．Why are you such a math genius
（ ）33．What can be inferred from the study results
A．Parents prefer to give more process responses.
B．Children are more likely to be affected by math anxiety.
C．Process responses help with children’s math achievement.
D．Person responses can discourage children from learning math.
（ ）34．What do researchers advise parents to do
A．Restrict person responses. B．Defend their own beliefs.
C．Stress children’s performance. D．Ignore children’s math problems.
（ ）35．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．The Strategy Children Adopt to Learn Math Helps
B．The Way. Parents Talk, to Children on Math Matters
C．Responses to Enhance Children’s Math Performance
D．Suggestions for Parents to Teach Their Children Math

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。
The summer heat and humidity （湿度） can make even the most dedicated outdoor runner feel unmotivated. For those who want an alternative to running on the roads without losing their fitness, deep water running, or aqua jogging, could be a useful cross-training exercise. Many runners turn to deep water running as the final option when they are injured because aqua jogging is not weight-bearing. 36
To get into this exercise, you will need access to a pool that is deep enough so that your feet don’t touch the ground. The depth of the water should be at least five inches less than your height. 37 There are different kinds available to purchase or rent online and at swimming pools. Wear one that feels comfortable.
The best way to aqua jog is to imitate （模仿） running on land. The movement of your arms and legs should look similar to land-based running. Everything except your head and the top part of your shoulders should be underwater. 38 But practice a running motion once you feel more confident in your balance and core control.
39 Runners should treat the first three session s as a learning experience rather than a hard workout. Workouts can be continuous, easy running or a combination of short bursts at a comfortably hard pace followed by brief periods at an easier active recovery pace. The sessions can be as short as 20 minutes.
As helpful as it is, aqua jogging is not meant to replace all of your regular running. Your heart rate will be slightly lower while aqua jogging for the same level of exercise on land. 40
A．Work your legs up as you would in a run.
B．Getting used to running in the pool takes time.
C．A cycling action of the legs is easier to start with.
D．Professional instructions are essential for beginners.
E．So increase your speed if you want to increase intensity.
F．It provides massive benefits to healthy individuals, too.
G．A floatation belt around your waist will help your running techniques.

One evening I was running late for a meeting and I passed a friend in the hallway. My friend asked the daily 41 question, “How are you doing ” Rather than give the expected response, “Good, how about you ” I decided to 42 my frustration with traffic, people who can’t put down their cellphones at traffic lights, poor 43 in the rain and everything else about my 44 journey to work.
Instead of showing empathy （同理心）, my friend asked thought-provoking （引人深思的） question, “What would have happened if your guardian angel hadn’t created those 45 ” The inference was that I might have been 46 something much worse than being late for a meeting.

A skywell, or “tian jing” in Chinese, is a typical feature of a traditional home in Southern and Eastern China. They are commonly seen in homes 56 (date) to the Ming and Qing dynasties, which 57 (design) to house different generations of relatives. Despite their varied sizes and designs, these skywells are typically square and located in 58 heart of the house. They serve to allow in light, enhance airflow, and harvest rainwater.
Since decades ago, the government 59 (advocate) green buildings, promoting environmentally-friendly practice. The increased interest towards traditional Chinese architecture is leading to the restoration of historic buildings with skywells 60 modern use. Architects are also looking towards the principles behind the skywells while designing new buildings 61 (save) energy. The Dongguan TBA Tower in Guangdong Province, for example, brings natural airflows into every floor with internal “windpipes” 62 function in a similar way to skywells. The aim is to keep the building’s temperature 63 (comfort) in all seasons, using only natural airflow.
The fact that skywells still exist today shows 64 clever ancient builders were in using nature’s elements to create energy-sufficient and sustainable living spaces. These timeless architectural 65 (wonder) continue to inspire architects in their efforts to find green solutions for cooling homes and buildings.

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。
On a sunny early spring morning, Anna, together with her grandchildren Julie, Fred and Erik, was playing happily in the backyard. While playing, Anna said to the kids, “I am going to plant something in the garden. Who would like to help me ”
“What are you going to plant, Grandma ” asked Julie. “I like pleasant, bright-colored roses.”
“But I like lively, big, yellow sunflowers!” said Fred.
“Well, I’m going to plant some vegetables so that we can have fresh vegetables to eat when they are ready,” said Anna.
“How long does that take ” asked Erik. He liked vegetables sometimes, especially tomatoes.
“It will take several months before anything is ready to eat,” answered Anna. The kids were surprised.
“Several months Why would you do all that work and then have to wait so long ” asked Julie. “Why not just go to the store and buy them ”
“Patience, my sweeties! Don’t you know food always tastes best when you grow it yourself ” replied Anna. “And if all of you come to help, it won’t be too much work.”
“I’ll help you, Grandma,” offered Erik. He put down the basketball and went to look at the gardening tools Anna had laid out. “What should we do first ” Fred and Julie came over to have a look, too.
Firstly, Anna taught Erik how to use a travel （小铲子） to dig rows of small holes for the seeds. Next, she showed Julie how to pour the seeds into each hole carefully. And then it was Fred’s job to cover up the holes with soil little by little. Finally, Julie wrote the vegetable names on sticks that Erik pushed into the ground. “This way we can remember which vegetable seeds we have planted,” said Anna.
After planting everything, the kids took turns in filling up the watering pot so that Anna could make the soil nice and wet for the seeds to start to grow.
“From now on, we just water them a little each day, and with some time and sunshine, we’ll have some delicious things to eat in the summer,” said Anna.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Every time the kids came to visit, they would rush into the garden as fast as possible.
Eventually, Anna said, “It was about time for the first harvest.”
