Many teenagers spend their free time hanging out with friends or scrolling through social media, but Tiffany Gay, an 18-year-old student at Orlando Science Schools, spent hers developing a device that could potentially help millions of people.
“Growing up, I actually lived with my aunt who had a vision problem, and I watched as her eyesight declined over time. And seeing that made me realize that there was a lack of technologies out there that were able to help those with visual disabilities adapt to their circumstances,” said Gay.
Through years of trial and error, Tiffany developed a wearable device that uses LIDAR, a very common type of sensor, to map an area and then uses vibrations (振动) to warn the wearer when there are obstacles and other things in their path. As they get closer, the vibrations get stronger.
The technology on Tiffany’s visor appeals to more than just the sense of touch. She has the lights to indicate distance. As you get closer, you’ll see the light turn red. As you get moderately far away, you’ll see the light turn blue. And as you get really far away, it should turn green. And the different lights symbolize how intense the vibration may be.
Tiffany has been working on this project for the past three years. “A lot of crazy ideas, but in that time, I was able to create different models. I’ve been able to make it a lot more efficient over these past three years, and I’m also working on raising fund to get my patent.” said Gay.
Her invention now costs around $200, which is quite reasonable for medical assistance devices, but Tiffany wants to make it even more accessible to people. She said, “Decreasing the price is a significant change I want to make. But, what I really want is making it accessible to the countries where we have the highest percentage of people who are visually impaired.”
4. What inspired Tiffany Gay to invent the device
A. Her aunt’s visual declining.
B. Her parents’ encouragement.
C. Her own interest in invention.
D. Her sympathy for elderly people.
5 What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The materials of the device.
B. The limitation of the device.
C. The working principle of the device.
D. The inventing process of the device.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Tiffany Gay
A. Kind and creative. B. Curious and honest.
C. Brave and generous. D. Determined and loyal.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Application of LIDAR Sensors
B. A Student’s Dream of Starting a Business
C. Tiffany Gay: a Pioneer in Wearable Technology
D. A Teen’s Invention for People with Visual disabilities
C
Many dog owners believe their pets understand and respond not only to commands such as “sit” and “stay, ” but also to words referring to their favorite objects. “Bring me your ball” will often result in exactly that. But science has had trouble determining whether dogs really activate (激活) a mental image in their minds when they hear the name of an object.
A new study has found that beyond being able to respond to commands like “roll over, ” dogs can learn to connect words with specific objects — a relationship with language called referential understanding that had been unproven in dogs until now.
The study involved 18 dogs and a procedure using electrodes (电极) attached to dogs’ heads to measure brain activity and register brain waves. Dog owners participating in the study would play a voice recording in which they said the name of their dog’s toy — like “ball” — and then they would show the dog an object. The researchers measured the dogs’ brain activity when the object in the recording matched the object that was displayed, and also when it differed.
“We expected that if a dog really understands the meaning of the object’s word, it will expect to see that object. And if the owner shows a different one, there will be a so-called surprise reaction in the brain, ” Boros said.
The study found a different brain pattern when the dogs were shown an object that matched the word, compared to when it didn’t — suggesting the animals formed a mental image of an object based on hearing the word for it. The study supports “theories of language evolution (进化) which actually say that referential understanding is not necessarily unique to humans,” added Magyari, an associate professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway.
While the study has received praise, some experts have expressed doubts about its findings. Behavioral scientist and professor of psychology, Clive Wynne, said in a post onFacebook that he believes that all the study shows is that dogs respond to stimuli (刺激) — but that they don’t actually understand the meaning of specific words.
8. What has puzzled scientists about dogs
A. How dogs activate mental images in mind. B. How dogs respond to their favorite objects.
C. Whether dogs can connect words with objects. D. Whether dogs can truly understand commands.
9. How did the researchers conduct the study of dogs
A. By observing their interactions with owners.
B. By training them to identify specific objects.
C. By monitoring their brain waves in different situations.
D. By comparing their reactions to different human voices.
10. In the study, surprise reactions in dog’s brain are caused by a mismatch between ________.
A. what they want and what they are given B. what they hear and what they are shown
C. what they are trained to do and what is tested D. what they are familiar with and what is displayed
11. What is Clive Wynne’s attitude toward the study’s findings
A. Doubtful. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Supportive.
D
The Plastic Problem: A Global Challenge
Environmental scientist Dr. Sarah Johnson once joked that if aliens (外星人) visited Earth, they might think plastic bags were the planet’s dominant species. “These lightweight creatures cover land and sea, threat wildlife, and never truly disappear,” she said. Her words highlight a serious issue: humanity’s addiction to single-use plastics.
Plastic pollution is widespread and cause a lot of damage and destruction. Every year, over 8 million tons of plastic waste enter the oceans, killing millions of marine animals. Sea turtles mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, birds get tangled in fishing nets, and whales ingest microplastics that accumulate in their stomachs. Microplastics—tiny plastic particles smaller than a grain of rice—have even been found in human bodies, potentially harming our health. Studies suggest they could enter our bloodstream and organs, causing long-term risks. Plastic production also contributes to climate change: manufacturing and disposing of plastics release greenhouse gases, worsening global warming. In fact, if plastic production continues at current rates, the industry could account for 20% of global oil consumption by 2050.
The convenience of plastic has come at a high cost. In some countries, plastic bags are used for just minutes but take centuries to degrade. Many cities spend millions on cleanup efforts, while poorer regions struggle to manage waste. For example, in coastal towns in Southeast Asia, plastic waste blocks drainage (排水) systems during rainy seasons, causing floods. In some African countries, plastic bottles and bags litter streets and fields, attracting pests and spreading diseases. The economic costs are astonishing: a recent report estimated that plastic pollution costs the global economy $13 billion annually in environmental damage and cleanup expenses.
Solutions exist, but they require action. Bans on single-use plastics have been effective in some places. However, new technologies are emerging. Additionally, reusable alternatives are affordable and eco-friendly. “Change starts with individual choices,” says Johnson. “If we stop using disposable plastics and demand sustainable options, we can save our planet from becoming a plastic graveyard.” The time to act is now. But governments, businesses, and communities must also cooperate. Together, we can turn the tide against this global challenge.
12. What does the word “dominant” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean
A. well-controlled B. fastest-growing
C. most common D. highly intelligent
13. According to the passage, which of the following is a direct effect of plastic pollution
A. Global temperatures rise due to plastic production.
B. Recycling programs become more expensive.
C. Cities spend less money on waste management.
D. Floods occur frequently in all coastal areas.
14. What can be inferred from the example of Southeast Asia in Paragraph 3
A. Plastic waste is the main cause of floods worldwide.
B. Wealthier countries have better waste management systems.
C. Rainy seasons make plastic pollution more visible.
D. Poor regions face greater challenges in handling plastic waste.
15. What is Dr. Sarah Johnson’s attitude towards plastic pollution
A. She believes plastic is necessary for human convenience.
B. She is worried about its long-term effects on the environment.
C. She doubts the effectiveness of plastic recycling methods.
D. She is optimistic that plastic problems will solve naturally.

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。
I am a high school student, and I’ve always been shy and quiet. Speaking up, especially in front of my classmates, has always been difficult for me. In class, I tend to avoid the teacher’s look and rarely volunteer answers. I find myself more comfortable observing from the sidelines, quietly taking notes and participating only when absolutely necessary.
So, when our teacher assigned a group project to create a mind map (思维导图) for a travel journal, I felt completely lost. It seemed like a huge task, and I had no idea where to begin. The thought of working with a group and contributing my ideas was difficult.
We were supposed to work in groups of four, and I wasn’t sure if I could contribute enough to make it a success. I was stressed by the idea of cooperating with others, especially since I wasn’t sure whether I had the creative skills they would expect for something like a mind map.
My friend Alice noticed my hesitation and immediately invited me to join her group. She said, “You should join Chris, Ryan, and me. You’re so creative, and I know that you’ll bring something great to the table.” She even mentioned how I had helped her before by creating small stories to memorize words, and how my creativity always surprised her.
I was touched by her faith in me, but despite her encouragement, I was still unsure. I didn’t feel confident about my ability to contribute to the group, especially when it came to something as creative as a mind map. I feared that my ideas might not be good enough or that I would let the team down. The thought of standing out in front of everyone with my contributions felt challenging. But Alice insisted, gently encouraging me to give it a try, promising me that we could work together and that my creativity would be valuable.
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。
After a bit of hesitation I finally agreed to join.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next class, Alice and I presented our group’s mind map to the class.
