●ⅡOne possible version:
Dear Tom,
I am excited to share with you my design of a smart home companion robot, which won first prize in the school’s Technology Innovation Competition.
Using AI technology, this robot can provide companionship, entertainment, and assistance to users. Not only can it keep them company and ease their loneliness, but it is also able to offer timely feedback to their families, thus ensuring the users’ safety.
Participating in the competition was a challenging yet rewarding experience, and I learned a lot about teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving.

Sometimes a book comes along that isn’t just “interesting” or “well done”—it’s a book where it seems like the author looked into your brain and wrote a book specifically for you. A book like that for me was released this week. It’s called 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet, written by editor Pamela Paul.
Paul lists 100 things we used to do that the Internet has either changed or taken over completely: writing letters, printing newspapers, the joys of being bored, and not having all the knowledge in the world in your pocket.
As I’m a long-time accumulator of random knowledge, certain entries—“Being the Only One”, “Figuring out Who That Actor Is”—hit me where I live; remembering detailed facts is no longer nearly as impressive when everyone has the capability to find the answer in seconds.
On and on the list goes, with every minor shift adding to the pile. What this book does so well is illustrate the growth of that pile; while any individual item might be no big deal, the collected set is significant. It’s a list of ways in which the world now is different from the world then.
Obviously, Paul isn’t saying that everything back then was better. Time marches on, after all. And it’s tough to argue against the many benefits that the Internet has brought into our lives. But that isn’t really the point. It’s not about whether it used to be better. It’s that it used to be different.
100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet is a fun read for those of us who share some of Paul’s memories and experiences. We remember what it was like and we like to remember. The landscape has shifted, and no doubt it will shift again as technology’s advancement continues apace. This book serves as a reminder of the simple truth that when gains are made, sometimes something is lost.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are due for huge upgrades in driving range and charging time as new battery technologies are introduced. Lithium (Li)-ion (锂离子) batteries could be out of date in a few years as alternatives like Li-sulfur, Li-air and Li-metal enter production. Meanwhile, quantum (量子) battery charging promises to reduce charging time from hours to seconds.
Scientists at the University of Michigan have produced a stable Li-sulfur battery using Kevlar, the material used in body armour, to increase the amount it can be charged and discharged. Fibres in the Kevlar stop certain parts of Lithium from growing between the electrodes (电极) and destroying the battery. Research group leader Nicholas Kotov called the design “nearly perfect” in terms of capacity and efficiency. The battery can handle summer heat and winter cold extremes, and in real-world driving conditions, its lifespan should be 1,000 cycles or ten years.
Sulfur is a great alternative for EVs because it is a tiny amount of the cost of metals like what is used in Li-ion battery electrodes, and there is simply more of it. Mainstream electric cars fitted with its battery could achieve around 900 miles on a single charge. Battery researchers say the Li-sulfur battery’s energy density could theoretically be 10 times higher than the best Li-ion battery, so it will enable electric cars to drive further, be safer and more environmentally friendly, for less money.
In Japan, university researchers have teamed up with a telecommunications company to develop a Li-air battery with an energy density (500 Wh/kg) two to five times better than Li-ion.
Newer quantum technologies that will speed up vehicle charging time are added to these breakthroughs in battery materials and energy density. Li-metal, often talked about as solid-state batteries, is long-lasting and capable of rapid charging, especially when it is paired with quantum technologies that connect all the battery cells simultaneously. And once investments in quantum charging and batteries are made, it could revolutionize transport and the way we use energy worldwide.
( )5.What can we learn about Kevlar
A.It will speed up vehicle charging.
B.It can lengthen battery’s cycle life.
C.It can boost EVs range to 1,000 miles.
D.It will break down in extreme weather.
( )6.Why is sulfur a fantastic option for EVs
A.It has been tested in Li-ion batteries.
B.It is less expensive and more abundant.
C.Li-sulfur battery has been installed in mainstream EVs.
D.Li-sulfur battery features a higher energy density than Li-metal.
( )7.What can we conclude from the last paragraph
A.Quantum technologies give rise to Li-metal.
B.Battery materials determine vehicle charging speed.
C.Li-metal is more efficient in charging than Li-sulfur.
D.More investments are needed in quantum technologies.
( )8.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Which battery suits EVs best
B.What is the future road of EVs
C.Why will Li-ion batteries be replaced
D.How will reformed Li-ion batteries influence EVs

The motivation for his invention came to Aarrav Anil last year when he saw his uncle Arjun, who has Parkinson’s disease, struggle to eat. Some food spilled (溢出) out of his mouth, and the rest splattered (溅) on his clothes. Arjun attempted to keep his dignity but the frustration forced him to give up and call his helper to feed him.
The sight of his uncle’s shaking the spoon so violently inspired Aarrav, 17, from Bengaluru, South India, to turn to robotics. He locked himself in his room with microcontrollers, sensors, motors, and a 3D printer. What emerged was a prototype (原型) of a smart spoon that is now undergoing trials at the RV College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru.
The sensors in the battery-operated spoon detect shaking on one side and activate movement on the other, effectively cancelling out shaking to keep the spoon stable.
“I’ve been fine tuning the design based on the college’s feedback—that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; that it must be removable so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork,” Aarrav says.
For Aarrav it is the peak of a 10-year interest in mechanics that began when his mother bought him a Lego set. He has now represented India at more than 20 robotics competitions across the world.
When the blueprint for the smart spoon won first prize in the future innovators category at last year’s World Robot Olympiad in Germany, Aarrav felt encouraged to make the prototype.
More than 7 million people in India are estimated to have Parkinson’s disease, a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged and which mainly affects people over the age of 50. Symptoms include involuntary shaking and stiff muscles. As the disease progresses, eating can become more difficult, forcing people to rely on help from others.
Aarrav’s ambition is that every family that has someone with Parkinson’s disease will have the smart spoon. He says his uncle Arjun’s words keep echoing (回响) in his mind:“Who would have thought such a small thing could mean the difference between dignity and indignity ”
( )9.What can Aarrav’s invention help people with Parkinson’s disease do
A.Control their physical balance.
B.Boost their mood and relieve stress.
C.Maintain a good range of movement.
D.Feed themselves more independently.
( )10.What does the underlined part “fine tuning” in Paragraph 4 mean
A.Overturning.
B.Reconsidering.
C.Conducting a study of.
D.Making minor changes to.
( )11.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Parkinson’s disease in India
A.To show prospects of Aarrav’s invention.
B.To reveal the nation’s poor health situation.
C.To popularize general knowledge of the disease.
D.To convince people to volunteer for social causes.
( )12.What can be learned about Aarrav from the text
A.He enjoys being alone.
B.He has an innovative mind.
C.He used to be a health worker.
D.He longed to be a businessman.

Sometimes a book comes along that isn't just “interesting”
or “well done”—it's a book where it seems like the author
looked into your brain and wrote a book specifically for you. A
book like that for me was released this week. It's called 100
Things We've Lost to the Internet, written by editor Pamela Paul.

Paul lists 100 things we used to do that the Internet has
either changed or taken over completely: writing letters, printing
newspapers, the joys of being bored, and not having all the
knowledge in the world in your pocket.
As I'm a long-time accumulator of random knowledge,
certain entries—“Being the Only One”, “Figuring out Who That
Actor Is”—hit me where I live; remembering detailed facts is no
longer nearly as impressive when everyone has the capability to
find the answer in seconds.

On and on the list goes, with every minor shift adding to
the pile. What this book does so well is illustrate the growth of
that pile; while any individual item might be no big deal, the
collected set is significant. It's a list of ways in which the world
now is different from the world then.
Obviously, Paul isn't saying that everything back then was
better. Time marches on, after all. And it's tough to argue
against the many benefits that the Internet has brought into our
lives. But that isn't really the point. It's not about whether it
used to be better. It's that it used to be different.

100 Things We've Lost to the Internet is a fun read for
those of us who share some of Paul's memories and
experiences. We remember what it was like and we like to
remember. The landscape has shifted, and no doubt it will shift
again as technology's advancement continues apace. This book
serves as a reminder of the simple truth that when gains are
made, sometimes something is lost.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are due for huge upgrades in driving
range and charging time as new battery technologies are
introduced. Lithium (Li)-ion (锂离子) batteries could be out of
date in a few years as alternatives like Li-sulfur, Li-air and Li-
metal enter production. Meanwhile, quantum (量子) battery
charging promises to reduce charging time from hours to
seconds.

Scientists at the University of Michigan have produced a
stable Li-sulfur battery using Kevlar, the material used in body
armour, to increase the amount it can be charged and
discharged. Fibres in the Kevlar stop certain parts of Lithium
from growing between the electrodes (电极) and destroying the
battery. Research group leader Nicholas Kotov called the design
“nearly perfect” in terms of capacity and efficiency. The battery
can handle summer heat and winter cold extremes, and in real-
world driving conditions, its lifespan should be 1,000 cycles or
ten years.

Sulfur is a great alternative for EVs because it is a tiny
amount of the cost of metals like what is used in Li-ion battery
electrodes, and there is simply more of it. Mainstream electric
cars fitted with its battery could achieve around 900 miles on a
single charge. Battery researchers say the Li-sulfur battery's
energy density could theoretically be 10 times higher than the
best Li-ion battery, so it will enable electric cars to drive further,
be safer and more environmentally friendly, for less money.

In Japan, university researchers have teamed up with a
telecommunications company to develop a Li-air battery with an
energy density (500 Wh/kg) two to five times better than Li-ion.
Newer quantum technologies that will speed up vehicle
charging time are added to these breakthroughs in battery
materials and energy density. Li-metal, often talked about as
solid-state batteries, is long-lasting and capable of rapid
charging, especially when it is paired with quantum technologies
that connect all the battery cells simultaneously.

The motivation for his invention came to Aarrav Anil last
year when he saw his uncle Arjun, who has Parkinson's disease,
struggle to eat. Some food spilled (溢出) out of his mouth, and
the rest splattered (溅) on his clothes. Arjun attempted to keep
his dignity but the frustration forced him to give up and call his
helper to feed him.

The sight of his uncle's shaking the spoon so violently
inspired Aarrav, 17, from Bengaluru, South India, to turn to
robotics. He locked himself in his room with microcontrollers,
sensors, motors, and a 3D printer. What emerged was a
prototype (原型) of a smart spoon that is now undergoing trials
at the RV College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru.
The sensors in the battery-operated spoon detect shaking
on one side and activate movement on the other, effectively
cancelling out shaking to keep the spoon stable.

“I've been fine tuning the design based on the college's
feedback—that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be
washed without damaging all the electronics inside; that it must
be removable so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork,”
Aarrav says.
For Aarrav it is the peak of a 10-year interest in mechanics
that began when his mother bought him a Lego set. He has
now represented India at more than 20 robotics competitions
across the world.

When the blueprint for the smart spoon won first prize in
the future innovators category at last year's World Robot
Olympiad in Germany, Aarrav felt encouraged to make the
prototype.
More than 7 million people in India are estimated to have
Parkinson's disease, a condition in which parts of the brain
become progressively damaged and which mainly affects people
over the age of 50. Symptoms include involuntary shaking and
stiff muscles. As the disease progresses, eating can become
more difficult, forcing people to rely on help from others.

Aarrav's ambition is that every family that has someone
with Parkinson's disease will have the smart spoon. He says his
uncle Arjun's words keep echoing (回响) in his mind:“Who
would have thought such a small thing could mean the
difference between dignity and indignity ”
