Eighteen-year-old Indian programmer Anika Sharma has created a low-cost AI tool that can assist in the early detection of eye diseases. Her project, named "EyeScan AI," was awarded the top prize at the International Science and Engineering Fair in August 2025, attracting attention from medical experts worldwide.
Anika's inspiration came from witnessing her grandfather struggle with diabetes-related vision loss, a condition that could have been managed with earlier diagnosis. With limited resources, she spent over a year teaching herself machine learning and collecting thousands of public medical images to train her model. The resulting software can analyze images of a person's retina taken with a smartphone adapter and identify early signs of diseases like diabetic retinopathy with an accuracy exceeding 90%. Its low cost is a key advantage, making it potentially accessible to rural clinics in developing regions.
"My goal is not to replace doctors, but to provide a tool that helps them, especially in areas with few specialists," Anika stated. Her computer science teacher, Mr. Patel, described her as incredibly resourceful, highlighting how she solved complex problems using free online courses and collaborative coding platforms. Anika has already begun working with a non-profit organization to pilot "EyeScan AI" in several community health centers. She believes that technology should bridge healthcare gaps, and she plans to continue her studies in both computer science and public health to further this mission.
24. What is the main function of Anika's "EyeScan AI" tool
A. To replace eye doctors in urban hospitals.
B. To cure diabetes-related vision loss.

Access to safe drinking water is a basic need for every household, yet traditional water treatment often fails to address tiny pollutants or user oversight. On September 18, 2025, a breakthrough emerged at the China Home Technology Expo in Guangzhou: "QingShui-1," a smart water purifier developed by South China University of Technology, which redefines home water safety with innovative technology .
Traditional purifiers struggle with two critical flaws: they cannot filter particles smaller than 0.01 micron, such as certain heavy metals, and users often forget to replace filter elements. The QingShui-1 team targeted these gaps with a multi-layer composite filter made of activated carbon and ceramic. Laboratory tests confirm it removes 99.8% of heavy metals and 99.5% of bacteria, trapping particles as small as 0.001 micron .
What sets it apart is smart connectivity. Linked to a WeChat mini-program, the device sends real-time alerts when the filter element nears expiration, and users can order replacements directly through the app. This solves the long-standing problem of delayed maintenance that undermines water safety .
Installation and usability were also prioritized. Its compact size fits under most kitchen sinks, and it connects to standard faucets in 5 minutes—no professional help needed. A month-long trial with 500 families in Guangzhou and Shanghai yielded positive feedback. "I used to stress about my baby’s drinking water," said Ms. Chen, a participant. "Now I check quality on my phone anytime—it’s such a relief."
Mass production is scheduled for December 2025, with a price 20% lower than imported alternatives. This innovation not only enhances household water safety but also makes advanced treatment technology accessible to ordinary families, reflecting China’s practical approach to solving daily life challenges .
28. What is the main purpose of the QingShui-1 smart water purifier
A. To replace all imported water purifiers in the Chinese market.
B. To introduce a new concept for home water safety by technological innovation.
C. To showcase the research capabilities of South China University of Technology.
D. To compete with traditional water purifiers in terms of pricing.
29. What makes QingShui-1 superior to traditional water purifiers
A. It removes 99.8% of bacteria and filters 0.01-micron particles.
B. It costs 20% less than all imported purifiers and works at high temps.
C. It fits all kitchen sinks and needs no professional installation.
D. It connects to phones for alerts and traps ultra-tiny pollutants.
30. What can we infer from Ms. Chen’s words
A. She no longer worries about her baby’s drinking water safety.
B. The purifier has improved her baby’s drinking habits.
C. She doubts the accuracy of the app’s water quality data.
D. She found the installation more complex than expected.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the passage
A. WeChat Mini-Programs: A New Tool for Home Maintenance
B. QingShui-1: A September 2025 Innovation in Home Water Safety
C. Breakthroughs in China’s 2025 Home Appliance Technology
D. How to Choose a Cost-Effective Water Purifier for Families

A research team from the University of California has developed a new type of fully biodegradable plastic derived from seaweed, offering a promising solution to the global plastic pollution crisis. The findings, published in a leading scientific journal in September 2025, demonstrate that this innovative material decomposes completely in natural environments within weeks, unlike conventional plastics that persist for centuries.
The research process involved extracting specific polymers from common brown seaweed and modifying them to create a durable yet flexible material. Laboratory tests confirmed that the new bioplastic possesses strength comparable to traditional plastic packaging. Most significantly, when exposed to soil or seawater, it breaks down into harmless organic matter through natural microbial activity. Field experiments showed complete decomposition within four to eight weeks, leaving no microplastic residues. The production method is also energy-efficient, requiring 30% less energy than conventional plastic manufacturing.
Dr. Emily Chen, the lead researcher, expressed cautious optimism about the potential impact. "This material could revolutionize packaging industries, particularly for food and consumer goods," she stated. However, she acknowledged the challenges ahead, noting that "scaling up production while maintaining cost competitiveness with established plastics remains a significant hurdle." Several major companies have already shown interest in adopting this technology, recognizing both its environmental benefits and growing consumer demand for sustainable products. The team is now focusing on optimizing the material for various commercial applications and conducting further tests to ensure its safety and durability meet industry standards.
32. What is the main advantage of the new bioplastic discussed in the passage
A.It breaks down completely in natural environments.
B. It is cheaper to produce than traditional plastic.
C. It is stronger than any existing plastic material.
D. It can be produced from any type of plant.
33. According to the passage, how does the new bioplastic break down
A. Through recycling processes in special facilities.
B. By dissolving quickly in water.
C. Through the natural action of microorganisms.
D. By exposure to sunlight only.

Homework has long been tied to school. 36 But with the way of learning shifted,it’s fair to ask: Is homework still relevant, or a leftover from a different time
The idea of homework goes back a long way. Historians trace it to ancient Rome. Pliny the Younger, a teacher around AD 61—113, encouraged students to practice speaking at home. Homework evolved slowly over the centuries. 37 In the U.S., it grew common in the early 20th century. In 1957, American schools piled on homework to raise academic demands. By the 1980s, it was seen as key to academic success.
38 For high schoolers, homework links to academic performance. But younger kids seem to gain little from traditional homework. Furthermore, students who are responsible and supported at home are most likely to complete assignments and benefit from them. For students from lower-income families who might lack internet access, homework can actually widen the achievement gap.
Then everything changed. As educators recognized the limitations of passive, one-size-fits-all tasks in encouraging genuine understanding and student engagement, traditional worksheets and reading logs gave way to project-based assignments or online lessons, clouding the line between homework and classwork. However, just assigning tasks wasn’t enough. 39
So, what now Keep, change, or get rid of it 40 It all comes down to how it’s used.When it’s just something to keep kids busy, it doesn’t do much. But when thoughtful, clear, and actually fitting what a student needs, it has its place. In a world where information is instant, the purpose of homework needs a fresh look.
A. The concept, however, faded significantly during the Middle Ages.
B. The question of whether homework actually helps students is tricky.
C. The thing is, homework isn’t automatically good or bad.
D. Furthermore, access to reliable internet became a critical factor.
E. It took on a more formal role during the Industrial Revolution.
F. Ask students what school’s like, and you’ll hear about tests, teachers and homework.
G. Without engagement, feedback, and support, homework lost its effectiveness.

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。
When entering seventh grade, I was excited about many new things, but one thing really bothered me——I started getting acne(青春痘). Initially, it was just a little, but then, it seemed like overnight, my face was covered with it. I tried to hide it with my hair, but it just wouldn't work.
I was consumed with worry that my peers would make fun of me. I couldn't concentrate in class, as my mind was constantly preoccupied with my appearance, causing my grades to slip sharply. I started to feel inferior to my classmates and even avoid interaction with them.I tried to get rid of the acne. I washed my face multiple times a day, using all sorts of acne creams I found. I also avoided snacks that might cause it. But all ended up in vain.
One day, our school announced a sports day and the teacher asked us to form our own teams. As a sports enthusiast, I had been eagerly expecting it, but I was scared that no one would join me because of how I looked. Standing in front of the mirror, I kept imagining how my classmates would react when I asked them to team up with me. The fear of rejection held me back from approaching them.
But then, Kim came to me, “Do you want to join us for the relay race(接力赛) I' ve seen you run before and you' ve got the speed. If you join us, we' ll have a good chance to win.” In disbelief, I managed to utter“Yes”, still feeling self-conscious but also incredibly grateful.
Along with three other classmates, I signed up for the relay race. We trained and discussed strategies together, with no one paying any attention to my acne. Thanks to my speed advantage, I was even assigned to run the final leg—— the most critical role in the race.
注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右；(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then came the long-awaited sports day.
The victory was a turning poing in my junior life.
