Ariel Procaccia has always been attracted by big questions and hard problems. When he was a teenager, Procaccia loved reading books about big ideas. One of his favorites was Fermat's Last Theorem, which tells the story of a math puzzle that remained unsolved for more than 300 years. Another book he enjoyed was A Brief History of Time, which explores deep questions about the universe.
By the time he went to college, Procaccia knew he wanted to study two of three things-math, computer science and physics. “But my dad is a physics professor, and it seemed strange to do the same thing he did,” Procaccia says. “So I chose the other two.”
Today, Procaccia is a computer scientist at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. There, he designs computer algorithms（算法）that can solve problems quickly and fairly. Through this work, Procaccia has been able to address some big problems that directly affect people's daily lives.
One of his favorite projects is Spliddit, org. It's a free website that helps people divide things in a way that mathematically ensures fairness. For example, one of the apps on Spliddit is rent division. Say a few roommates rent an apartment and have different preferences over rooms. The goal is to assign（分配）the rooms and divide the rent in a way that each roommate feels they got the best deal. Since Spliddit was started in 2014, it has been used by hundreds of thousands of people.
For those who think computer science is only about computers, Procaccia has a different view. He believes it is really about solving problems in the best way possible. He encourages people to explore it, even if they think they are not interested in computers. He says, “It's not just about the machines; it's about using them to make a real difference in people's lives.”
24. What can we learn about Procaccia from the first paragraph
A. He longed to be a teacher. B. He has a curious mind.
C. He was a quiet teenager. D. He enjoys writing stories.
25. Why did Procaccia study math and computer science in college
A. He accepted his father's suggestion.
B. He failed to choose the subjects he loved.
C. He thought computer science was more popular.
D. He was unwilling to follow his father's path.
26. What is the main purpose of the website Spliddit.org
A. To encourage students to explore math.
B. To share information on low-rent housing.
C. To offer solutions to fair division problems.
D. To help its users find suitable roommates.
27. What is Procaccia's opinion about computer science
A. It aims to improve people's daily lives. B. It is mainly about computers.
C. It only draws college students. D. It depends on future computer scientists.
C
The snow leopard is a big cat. It has developed to live in some of the most terrible conditions in the world, and is found in some of Central Asia's high mountain ranges.
Kazakhstan is now celebrating the revival of this endangered species within its borders. This follows the success of local conservation efforts, which have increased the number of these dwindling wonderful big cats, doubling them in the last thirty years. Since 2019, they've increased by over 26%. It is thought that there are between 152-189 of these big cats in the country. This is a significant achievement, as the snow leopard is listed in the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List and the national Red Books of all 12 countries within its range.
However, human activity remains the greatest threat to the survival of this species. A good example of this threat is provided by the photo of a snow leopard, standing beside and not affected by a huge truck on a Kazakhstan road, which went popular in 2022. The animal was rescued by Almaty Zoo, but sadly died soon afterwards. Later a plastic bag was found inside its stomach. To protect them, Kazakhstan signed a deal with Kyrgyzstan in 2024. They’ll share knowledge, watch over the cats and their habitats, and raise public awareness. Snow leopards are at the top of the food chain, and their survival shows that the mountain ecosystem is healthy. Importantly, the balance between people and nature is the central part of these efforts. Cooperations(合作)like these are very important, because these countries represent a cross-border region of traveling of snow leopards, A greater understanding of these mountain ecosystems will benefit local people who depend on them, as well as future protective efforts.
In Kazakhstan, the snow leopard is not only a national symbol but also a mascot(吉祥物)for the Asian Winter Games. With continued efforts, these amazing animals will keep living in the mountains.
What does the underlined word “dwindling” in paragraph 2 mean
Unchanged. B. Reduced. C. Temporary. D. Upset.
29. Why does the writer mention the death of a snow leopard in paragraph 3
A. To prove his/her point. B. To voice his/her thanks for the Zoo.
C. To warn people against dropping litter. D. To remind people of careful driving.
30. What is the key factor for protecting snow leopards
A. Stopping illegal hunting of snow leopards.
B. Providing food for snow leopards.
C. Keeping the balance between humans and nature.
D. Knowing the habits of snow leopards.
31. Which situation may arise in the future according to the text
A. Snow leopards will completely disappear from the Earth.
B. There will be snow leopards race in Asian Winter Games.
C. Snow Leopards will be pets of every family in Kazakhstan.
D. The population of snow leopards will continue increasing.
D
Smartphones means that you can read the news, check the weather, and keep in touch with families and friends on social media. Being connected comes with a lot of benefits. But smartphones are not always good when they cause less family conversations or less attention in class. In January 2024, Brazil signed a bill to ban(禁止) smartphone use in schools, joining the trend (趋势) in the US and Europe. The law applies to public and private schools and isn't just limited to classrooms. Using smartphones in hallways is also not allowed.
The law follows a growing ban against smartphone use in all of Brazil's states’ schools including Rio de Janeiro. Almost two-thirds of schools in Brazil introduced limitations and 28 percent had complete bans.
“Students were having trouble focusing,” a school's headmaster Meire Nocito said. “There was also the problem of social isolation(孤立). Many students who used technology too much would stay alone during breaks, only communicating through social media. Banning smartphone use has helped create a space for social interaction, developing relationships and teaching students to deal with disagreements and arguments, which are a normal part of human interactions. It has been very positive.”
Brazilians have one of the highest smartphone use rates in the world. There are actually more phones than people in this South American country with 258 million devices for 203 million people. Brazilians spend over nine hours a day on their phones. This is a hard habit to break. Smartphones have been connected with physical and mental health issues. Mariana Waetge, a 13-year-old student, uses her smartphone to talk with friends and family and to find entertainment on Instagram. Now that she is forced to put her phone away at school. She has found new ways to interact with friends. Brazil, along with France and China, is limiting smartphone use in schools. This measure will not only improve students’ academic performance but also make their mental health better.
What is not allowed since 2024 if you are a Brazilian student
A. Read online news outside classrooms. B. Chat with classmates at breaks.
C. Use a phone to check the weather at home. D. Take photos with a smartphone in the park.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Measures to develop friendship. B. Ways of keeping focused in class.
C. Advantages of smartphones. D. Reasons for banning smartphones.
34. Which is correct according to the text
A. Brazilians use their phones for only 9 hours every day.
B. Brazilians have a high rate of phone use.
C. Each Brazilian owns a smartphone.
D. There are 258 million phones across South America.
35. What is the writer likely to talk about next
A. The ownership of smartphones in France and China.
B. Advantages of current social media.
C. Positive influences of no-phone school on students.
D. Methods of balancing online entertainment and learning.

In today's fast-paced society, time management is important. Everyone tries to learn and work more efficiently within the limited time. 36
Use every moment
When you're busy, every moment in the day is important. 37 When you're taking the bus or you're waiting for a lecture, you can get something done online, like doing some research for an important project and pin some online resources or reading part of the studying material you need to cover for the tests.
Make to-do lists every single day
38 Then, translate that plan into weekly goals and create daily to-do lists that help you achieve them. When you have a plan, you'll notice it's easy to find a gap where your favorite TV show fits in. Suddenly, you realize that a 24-hour day gives you more space than you assumed.
Create blocks of courses
What happens when you leave 50 minutes of free time between the courses You end up having coffee and scrolling on your phone, waiting for the next course. You are wasting valuable time. Try this method: 39 lectures, relaxation, studying and good times. When you know that you'll be done with lectures soon, your mind will stay focused and excited about the relaxation that follows.
