Find Your Adventure at the Space and Aviation(航空) Center
If you’re looking for a unique adventure, the Space and Aviation Center (SAC) is the place to be. The Center offers programs designed to challenge and inspire with hands-on tasks and lots of fun.
More than 750,000 have graduated from SAC, with many seeking employment in engineering, aviation, education, medicine and a wide variety of other professions. They come to camp, wanting to know what it is like to be an astronaut or a pilot, and they leave with real-world applications for what they’re studying in the classroom.
For the trainees, the programs also offer a great way to earn merit badges(荣誉徽章). At Space Camp, trainees can earn their Space Exploration badge as they build and fire model rockets, learn about space tasks and try simulated(模拟) flying to space with the crew from all over the world. The Aviation Challenge program gives trainees the chance to earn their Aviation badge. They learn the principles of flight and test their operating skills in the cockpit(驾驶舱) of a variety of flight simulators. Trainees also get a good start on their Wilderness Survival badge as they learn about water- and land-survival through designed tasks and their search and rescue of “downed” pilot.
With all the programs, teamwork is key as trainees learn the importance of leadership and being part of a bigger task.
All this fun is available for ages 9 to 18. Families can enjoy the experience together too, with Family Camp programs for families with children as young as 7.
Stay an hour or stay a week — there is something here for everyone!

I once was a quick-tempered boy. If I mumbled (嘟哝), I got angry. When I got angry, I’d yell at anyone nearby, not caring who they were or what they were doing. Then they would make fun of me. Eventually, many people around me disliked me because of this. They started avoiding me. Even though I felt like I needed to improve myself, I didn’t know how.
My father was patient with me and one day he gave me a basket full of nails (钉子) and a hammer (铁锤). Every time I got angry, he advised me to avoid scolding (责骂) the people involved and hammer a nail into the wooden fence behind the house until I calmed down. The first day, I hammered about 50 nails into the fence. As the days passed, I learned to control my hurtful speech in front of those who made me angry. Only when I got angry should I go and hammer the nails immediately!
Eventually, before I could take the basket and hammer and go to the fence, my anger cooled and I started hammering nails into the fence less. In a few days, I no longer felt the need to hammer nails into the fence. I went to my father and told him the details. Although he was happy inside, he didn’t show it. He gave me a nail puller and asked me to pull out the nails I had hammered into the fence one by one. It took me a whole day to pull them all out. After pulling out all the nails, my father and I went to see the fence. My father showed me the scars where the nails had been pulled out from the fence and said, “When you get angry, you lose your mind and say things like this nail. Even if you apologize for speaking as if you were pulling out a nail, the wound left by those words is just as hard to heal as the scar from this nail.”
I too understood the concept well, changed, grew up to respect my village, and achieved many successes in life.

Think back to your first memory. How old were you at the time Chances are you can’t remember anything earlier than kindergarten or primary school — nothing about your first words, steps, or solid food other than what your parents have later told you. This phenomenon is called “infantile amnesia”, due to which the majority of adults rarely remember things that happen to them before the age of three.
So why is it that we can’t remember being a baby. The answer lies in the way that our brain’s ability to store memories changes as we grow. At birth, a baby’s brain is only a quarter of its adult size, growing to three-quarters the size of an adult brain by age two. This increase is associated with a growth in the number of brain cells — called neurons (神经元) — and the connections between these cells.
A part of the brain that is particularly important in forming memories is the hippocampus (海马体), says Dr Dhanisha Jhaveri, a researcher at The University of Queensland. This region stores autobiographical memories from specific events in our lives. “In the hippocampus, new neurons are constantly being created. In adulthood, new cells are still being produced, but the rate of production in the hippocampus slows down,” says Dr Jhaveri.
Neuroscientists believe that the rapid rate at which brain cells are being produced in childhood could be the cause of infantile amnesia. Because so many new neurons are being produced and form connections with each other in memory circuits, they might disrupt (扰乱) existing networks of memories that have already formed.
Despite this memory loss, childhood experiences have been found to influence adult behaviour years later, which suggests that traces of these memories could be stored somewhere in the brain that isn’t easy to access.
In research in animals, scientists have found that latent (潜在的) traces of early experiences remain in the brain for a long time, and can later be triggered (触发) by a reminder. It highlights the important influence of early life experiences on mental and emotional well-being later in life.
8. What is infantile amnesia
A. The inability to form memories during adulthood.
B. The inability to recall early experiences.
C. The influence on existing memory networks.
D. The influence on mental and emotional well-being.
9. What do we learn about the brain according to the passage
A. New neurons disrupt existing memory circuits.
B. The hippocampus plays a passive role in one’s memory.
C. A baby’s brain is three-quarters the size of an adult brain.
D. Brain cells are being produced more rapidly in adulthood.
10. What does the research in animals show
A. Memories are stored separately in their brain.
B. Memories are mainly formed when they are young.
C. Early experiences have a long-term impact on life.
D. Early experiences are easy to be triggered by a reminder.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. The Formation of Early Childhood Memories
B. The Impact of Infantile Amnesia on Memory Networks
C. The Role of the Hippocampus in Memory Formation
D. The Influence of Early Life Experiences on Mental Well-being
D
ChatGPT, designed by OpenAI to carry on conversations just like humans, has become a viral excitement. The AI-powered tool went from zero to a million users in just five days! Its ability to provide in-depth answers to user questions has even drawn the attention of distinguished technology companies.
The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense. Its vast body of knowledge has been gathered from the internet and archived books. It is further trained by humans. This makes ChatGPT a useful tool for researching almost any topic.
“We have a lot of information on the internet, but you normally have to Google it, then read it and then do something with it,” says Ricardo, chief science officer and co-founder of AI company Erudit. “Now you’ll have this resource that can process the whole internet and all of the information it contains for you to answer your question.”
ChatGPT cannot think on its own. It depends on the information that it has been trained on. As a result, the AI tool works well for things that have accurate data available. However, when unsure, ChatGPT can get creative and flow out incorrect responses. OpenAI cautions users to check the information no matter how logical it sounds. Also, ChatGPT has only been trained with information till 2021. Hence, it cannot be relied upon for anything that happened after that.
Experts believe ChatGPT has limitless potential to solve real-world problems. It can translate long texts into different languages, create content on almost any topic, and even summarize books.
However, ChatGPT has received mixed reactions from educators. Some believe it could serve as a valuable tool to help build literacy skills in the classroom. It could also be used to teach students difficult science or math concepts. But other educators think ChatGPT will encourage students to cheat. They fear this will prevent them from building critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As a result, many districts are starting to ban its use in schools.
12. What is the unique feature of ChatGPT
A. It has artificial intelligence. B. It can answer users’ questions.
C. It has the largest number of users. D. It can engage in meaningful conversations.
13. What makes ChatGPT helpful to research various topics
A. Its capability of information processing. B. Its accurate information.
C. Its availability of up-to-date data. D. Its vast body of questions.
14. Why do ChatGPT users have to be cautious when using it
A. ChatGPT is unable to think itself. B. ChatGPT lacks creativity.
C. ChatGPT offers illogical information. D. ChatGPT is not properly trained.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards ChatGPT
A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Objective. D. Intolerant.

47. 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。
It was my first day at a new school in England because my family had moved here from Wales a week before. The moment I stepped through the big iron gates a feeling of worry came over me. The large campus, with its old buildings covered in ivy and very neatly cut lawns, was really beautiful, but it just made me more nervous. I held my books tightly, and my hands started to sweat as the unfamiliar faces and the strange accents surrounded me like a thick fog that I couldn’t get through. I felt like a lonely traveler in a strange place, really wanting to see something familiar.
Along the way, I accidentally knocked into a boy. “Sorry, ”I said quietly, my eyes quickly looking down at the ground because I was too shy to look at him. “No problem,” he answered with a warm and real smile that cut through my uneasiness like a bright light. In that short talk, a little hope started to shine inside me; maybe this new place wouldn’t be the scary maze (迷宫) I was afraid of.
When I entered the classroom, the teacher introduced me to the class. I could feel everyone looking at me, and my cheeks turned bright red, as if they were on fire. I quickly sat down, and my heart was beating so hard that it seemed like the whole room could hear it. Would I be able to make friends Could I do well in the classes These questions kept bothering me all the time. The bell rang for the first break, and I walked slowly and nervously to the schoolyard, my steps as careful as a baby deer’s first steps in the woods. I looked around, partly hoping to see a friendly face, but also afraid of being refused.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Standing alone in the corner of the schoolyard, I watched the other students chatting and laughing.

【47题答案】
Standing alone in the corner of the schoolyard, I watched the other students chatting and laughing. The cold wind blew hard through the schoolyard, moving the leaves and making me tremble. I crouched closer to the corner, the cold stone wall against my back. Groups of students got together, their active conversations floating in the air, so different from my silence. Worries filled my mind like the spinning dead leaves around my feet. Was it worth it to try to fit in The greatness of the strangeness seemed impossible to get over. I almost persuaded myself to go back to the empty classroom, but a faint hope held me back.
Just as I was about to give up, the boy I bumped into earlier came towards me. With a friendly wave, he closed the distance between us. “Come on, let’s join the fun!” he exclaimed. His friends nodded in agreement, their faces open and inviting. As we talked, I found myself relaxing. It turned out that we all loved the same books and dreamed of faraway adventures. By the time the bell rang, I was no longer the outsider. I learned that a simple act of kindness could transform a day, and that reaching out was all it took to find my place in this new world.
