A kid moved away from his friends and the familiarity of New Jersey to California, then immediately solved a local problem with a brilliant invention.
Along with potentially winning himself a career in advertisement television with an excellent reveal video and excitable voice, Mathur, an 11th grade San Francisco student, has invented a fire-activated extinguisher (灭火器) to protect the property of those he loves now that he lives in a state that has a wildfire “season”.
A single device is capable of protecting fire-risk areas in one’s house, while multiple can form a defensive area around one’s entire property against fires. “Over the past three years, there have been almost 7,500,000 acres of wildfire in California alone, destroying nearly 50,000 structures,” describes Arul Mathur, inventor of the Fire-Activated-Canister-Extinguisher, or F. A. C. E.
When a sensor on the device heats up to a certain temperature, a chemical bursts within, releasing an eco-friendly fire-retardant (阻燃剂) spray 5-6 feet in all directions. The retardant can be re-filled quite easily, and the only other human-controlled aspect is the initial introduction of air-pressure into the canister which can be done manually (用手的).
Mathur planned to introduce the device via Kickstarter, which saw his goal of $10,000 reached in less than a day, and came with an offer of $99 for F. A. C. E, that will be sold for $120 when production begins.
The only existing market alternative for F. A. C. E is a manual extinguisher, or an automatic sprinkler system, which unless it can be fixed during construction of the house, will normally cost between $1 to $3 dollars per square foot, amounting to many thousands for a family home. Mathur wrote in his Kickstarter that every penny of profit will go to providing F. A. C. E. donations to fire risk areas.
Indeed 5-6 feet of spray isn’t enough to stop large fires, but if enough devices are placed in strategic areas, neighborhoods or rural communities can work together to prevent brush fires from becoming wildfires, or living room fires from becoming house fires.
24. What can we know about Mathur?
A. He lives with his friends. B. He is engaged in advertising.
C. He lives in San Francisco now. D. He refuses to help local people.
25. What’s the feature of the device?
A. It’s costly. B. It’s affordable. C. It’s hard to produce. D. It’s difficult to operate.
26. Which of the following can best describe Mathur?
A. Intelligent and generous. B. Shy and kind. C. Brave and strong. D. Patient and careful.
27. What does the author want to stress in the last paragraph?
A. The safety of the device. B. The significance of the device.
C. The limitations of the device. D. The development of the device.
C
A Californian company that teaches a computer to “taste” wine is using the technology to help winemakers improve their products and attract new customers. Founder Katerina Axelsson says, “Tastry uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze tens of thousands of wines a year, generating lots of data to help winemakers target their products more effectively.”
Axelsson formed her idea as a chemistry student working at a winery, where she noticed strange practices in how wine was evaluated. A 100,000-gallon tank of wine would be divided in two and sold to two different brands, where it would end up in different bottles, be sold at different prices and receive different scores from critics, she says.
Axelsson began analyzing wine samples, identifying thousands of compounds. Using AI, she could see how these compounds interacted with each other, creating the wine’s flavor profile. She then took that profile and used machine learning to compare its flavor, texture (口感) and color with other wines in the database.
The method allowed Axelsson to develop a wine recommendation app, which was launched in 2019. Through a quiz, consumers could input their flavor preferences, and the software would recommend a suitable wine with 80%-90% accuracy at the first attempt, she says, rising to 95% with additional input from the user.
But in an industry full of artisan (工匠) tradition, there are some critics of this algorithmic (算法的) approach. “It’s like having a computer analyze a piece of art,” says Ronan Sayburn, master sommelier (酒水师) and head of wine at 67 Pall Mall, a private members’ club for wine lovers in London. “I don’t know how keen people would be on following what a computer tells them to drink, based on what they had previously,” he says.
Axelsson agrees that Tastry is not a substitute for a sommelier. But she says the scalability (可伸缩性) of her product makes it possible to analyze more wines per year than a human could ever taste. Her company will start offering services in Europe later this year in cooperation with an online seller, and is already thinking beyond wine, having conducted tests for beers, coffees and fragrances.
28. Why does the author list the figures in paragraph 4?
A. To prove the app’s accuracy. B. To list consumers’ flavor preferences.
C. To show the app needs no improvement. D. To state the app is popular with winemakers.
29. What is Ronan Sayburn’s attitude to AI’s analyzing wine?
A. Favorable. B. Neutral. C. Unclear. D. Critical.
30. Which of the following can Axelsson probably agree with?
A. Sommeliers will be replaced by AI in the future.
B. Strange practices in making wine should be changed.
C. Tastry can analyze more wines per year than a human does.
D. The wine recommendation app is the best app of its kind.
31. What’s the best title of the text?
A. The Wide Application of AI B. Teaching Computers to Taste Wine
C. Is Tastry a Substitute for a Sommelier? D. Will an App Succeed in the Near Future?
D
If you’re homeless and looking for temporary shelter in Hawaii’s capital, expect a visit from a robotic police dog that will scan your eye to make sure you don t have a fever. That’s just one of the ways public safety agencies are starting to use Spot, the best-known of a new commercial category of robots that run around with animal-like agility (敏捷).
The handful of police officials experimenting with the four-legged machines say they’re just another tool, like existing drones (无人机) and simple wheeled robots, to keep emergency responders out of harm’s way as they search for dangers.
Joseph O’Neal, an officer of the Honolulu Police Department, said the robot has protected officers, shelter staff and residents by scanning body temperatures between meal times at a shelter where homeless people could quarantine (隔离) and get tested for COVID-19. The robot is also used to remotely interview individuals who have tested positive.
The company that makes the robots, Boston Dynamics, says it’s trying to do a good job of explaining to the public—and its customers—what Spot can and cannot do. “One of the big challenges is accurately describing the state of the technology to people who have never had personal experience with it,” said Michael Perry, vice president of business development at Boston Dynamics. “Most people are applying ideas from science fiction to what the robot’s doing.”
Earlier this year, the police division sent its Spot into the site of a deadly drug lab explosion near the Belgian border to check for dangerous chemicals and other hazards.
There are roughly 500 Spot robots now in the wild. Perry said they’re commonly used by utility companies to inspect high-voltage zones and other dangerous areas. Spot is also used to monitor construction sites, mines and factories, equipped with whatever sensor (传感器) is needed for the job.
It’s still mostly controlled by humans, though all they have to do is tell it which direction to go and it can climb stairs or cross over rough area. It can also operate autonomously, but only if it’s already memorized an assigned route and there aren’t too many surprise obstacles. “The first value that most people see in the robot is taking a person out of a dangerous situation,” Perry said.
32. What’s the company’s big challenge?
A. To describe the technology. B. To win its customers’ respect.
C. To promote the Spot robots. D. To produce more Spot robots.
33. What’s the underlined word “hazards” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Robbers. B. Labs. C. Dangers. D. Sensors.
34. What can we infer about Spot robots from the last paragraph?
A. They can plan their own route easily. B. They can memorize a familiar route.
C. They can overcome many obstacles. D. They can choose direction themselves.
35. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A textbook. B. A newspaper. C. A science fiction. D. A health magazine.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Persistence (坚持) is a hot topic among education researchers these days and for good reason: It’s critical for success in school and beyond. Here are five tips for developing this quality in your child.
Let them play.
Just like adults, kids tend to work harder when they love what they’re doing. What’s the best way to help your child discover what they’re passionate about? 36 So if your child’s curiosity is inspired by any topic from acrobatics (杂技) to zoology, you can support their interest by offering additional exposure to that subject.
Help them practise self-control.
37 Studies have shown that higher levels of self-control early in life predict how well kids do academically, as well as a host of other positive outcomes including adult earnings, savings, and physical health.
Aim high.
Many studies have shown that kids work harder and do better when their teacher has high expectations for them. 38 High achievers who persevere in the face of challenges tend to come from families with high standards for their academic success and a home environment that supports learning.
Praise the process.
A previous research shows that when children are praised for their intelligence or talents, they avoid challenges. But when children are praised for hard work that paid off, they are more likely to seek out challenges and keep going when things get tough. 39
Extracurricular help.
Activities outside of regular school hours, such as sports, drama, debate, or music, are a great context for learning how to work hard at something over time. Research shows that students who participate in extracurricular activities get better grades and have higher self-esteem (自尊), lower rates of depression, and lower dropout rates than students who don’t. 40 Kids who stick with the same activity for two years are more likely to increase their possibilities of employment soon after college.
A. Parental expectations matter, too.
B. Let them explore freely and widely.
C. They are more motivated and successful.
D. Switching from person-praise to process-praise is easy.
E. Hard goals can help your child focus their attention and work harder.
F. Self-control is closely related to the ability to work toward a goal over time.
G. Kids who devote one year to the same activity are more likely to graduate from college.

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 was moving as fast as I could, stepping carefully from rock to rock along the uneven jetty (防波堤). “Too slow, sister!” I heard my brother Sam yell as he jumped with ease.
I’ll show him and attempted a double jump. What a mistake! My left foot came down hard between the edges of two gray rocks, scraping (刮伤) my ankle. “Ouch!” I yelled.
I tried to pull my foot out, but my shoe was stuck. I bent closer to the rock, and that’s when I saw it: a shiny, square shaped stone attached to a shining gold chain. It was just lying there on the wet sand, and a few seconds later it was in my pocket.
“Why do you look strange?” my brother asked once I’d freed my foot and caught up to him. “I don’t look strange,” I said. Sam looked at the sun. Could he tell I was hiding the most perfect discovery of the summer? I kept turning the treasure around in my pocket, pushing each corner of the square stone into my finger. I was excited, but I didn’t want Sam to notice. He liked to tell everybody my business.
“Ryan kept the paper napkins (餐巾) from the Andersons’ barbecue!” he had once announced. They were stamped “R.A.” Those are my initials! “Ryan saved the mini cola bottle from the carnival!”
My family calls me their “little collector”. Some mean kids at school call me “trash (垃圾) girl”.
Sam and I walked along the main street. Through the window of the candy shop I could see tubes of colourful jelly beans. A sign on the window’s glass read LOST: Gold and blue necklace. Verry special. If found, call Chrissy at 555-9924.
Chrissy had drawn a crayon version of the necklace at the bottom of the poster. The necklace looked different from the one I clutched (抓) in my pocket, I decided. Rounder, bluer. The poster appeared old and weathered. It must have been put up months ago.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Once home, I placed the necklace into my box, attracted by it.
Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting in a café across from Chrissy.

第二节
One possible version:
Once home, I placed the necklace into my box, attracted by it. I stared at the stone, so clean and polished. I liked it so much. But another voice whispered, “Could it be Chrissy’s? Was it her ‘verrry special’ necklace?” I struggled a while but I called the number on the poster. “Hello?” said a girl’s voice after one ring. “Hi,” I said, nervous. “Is this Chrissy?” “Yes.” ‘‘Um, my name is Ryan. I think I have something that belongs to you.” “My necklace?”
Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting in a café across from Chrissy. We were drinking milk tea. “It was a gift from my mum,” she said, “before she got sick.” Chrissy looked down at the blue stone in her hand. “I’m really sorry,” I said. “Holding on to it somehow makes things a little better,” she said. “Do you know what I mean?” I thought about the mean kids at school and how holding on to beautiful things often makes me feel better. I nodded. “I think I do.”

A kid moved away from his friends and the familiarity of New Jersey to California, then immediately solved a local problem with a brilliant invention.
Along with potentially winning himself a career in advertisement television with an excellent reveal video and excitable voice, Mathur, an 11th grade San Francisco student, has invented a fire-activated extinguisher (灭火器) to protect the property of those he loves now that he lives in a state that has a wildfire “season”.
A single device is capable of protecting fire-risk areas in one’s house, while multiple can form a defensive area around one’s entire property against fires. “Over the past three years, there have been almost 7,500,000 acres of wildfire in California alone, destroying nearly 50,000 structures,” describes Arul Mathur, inventor of the Fire-Activated-Canister-Extinguisher, or F. A. C. E.
When a sensor on the device heats up to a certain temperature, a chemical bursts within, releasing an eco-friendly fire-retardant (阻燃剂) spray 5-6 feet in all directions. The retardant can be re-filled quite easily, and the only other human-controlled aspect is the initial introduction of air-pressure into the canister which can be done manually (用手的).
Mathur planned to introduce the device via Kickstarter, which saw his goal of $10,000 reached in less than a day, and came with an offer of $99 for F. A. C. E, that will be sold for $120 when production begins.
The only existing market alternative for F. A. C. E is a manual extinguisher, or an automatic sprinkler system, which unless it can be fixed during construction of the house, will normally cost between $1 to $3 dollars per square foot, amounting to many thousands for a family home. Mathur wrote in his Kickstarter that every penny of profit will go to providing F. A. C. E. donations to fire risk areas.
Indeed 5-6 feet of spray isn’t enough to stop large fires, but if enough devices are placed in strategic areas, neighborhoods or rural communities can work together to prevent brush fires from becoming wildfires, or living room fires from becoming house fires.
24. What can we know about Mathur?
A. He lives with his friends. B. He is engaged in advertising.
C. He lives in San Francisco now. D. He refuses to help local people.
25. What’s the feature of the device?
A. It’s costly. B. It’s affordable. C. It’s hard to produce. D. It’s difficult to operate.
26. Which of the following can best describe Mathur?
A. Intelligent and generous. B. Shy and kind. C. Brave and strong. D. Patient and careful.
27. What does the author want to stress in the last paragraph?
A. The safety of the device. B. The significance of the device.
C. The limitations of the device. D. The development of the device.
C
A Californian company that teaches a computer to “taste” wine is using the technology to help winemakers improve their products and attract new customers. Founder Katerina Axelsson says, “Tastry uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze tens of thousands of wines a year, generating lots of data to help winemakers target their products more effectively.”
Axelsson formed her idea as a chemistry student working at a winery, where she noticed strange practices in how wine was evaluated. A 100,000-gallon tank of wine would be divided in two and sold to two different brands, where it would end up in different bottles, be sold at different prices and receive different scores from critics, she says.
Axelsson began analyzing wine samples, identifying thousands of compounds. Using AI, she could see how these compounds interacted with each other, creating the wine’s flavor profile. She then took that profile and used machine learning to compare its flavor, texture (口感) and color with other wines in the database.
The method allowed Axelsson to develop a wine recommendation app, which was launched in 2019. Through a quiz, consumers could input their flavor preferences, and the software would recommend a suitable wine with 80%-90% accuracy at the first attempt, she says, rising to 95% with additional input from the user.
But in an industry full of artisan (工匠) tradition, there are some critics of this algorithmic (算法的) approach. “It’s like having a computer analyze a piece of art,” says Ronan Sayburn, master sommelier (酒水师) and head of wine at 67 Pall Mall, a private members’ club for wine lovers in London. “I don’t know how keen people would be on following what a computer tells them to drink, based on what they had previously,” he says.
Axelsson agrees that Tastry is not a substitute for a sommelier. But she says the scalability (可伸缩性) of her product makes it possible to analyze more wines per year than a human could ever taste. Her company will start offering services in Europe later this year in cooperation with an online seller, and is already thinking beyond wine, having conducted tests for beers, coffees and fragrances.
28. Why does the author list the figures in paragraph 4?
A. To prove the app’s accuracy. B. To list consumers’ flavor preferences.
C. To show the app needs no improvement. D. To state the app is popular with winemakers.
29. What is Ronan Sayburn’s attitude to AI’s analyzing wine?
A. Favorable. B. Neutral. C. Unclear. D. Critical.
30. Which of the following can Axelsson probably agree with?
A. Sommeliers will be replaced by AI in the future.
B. Strange practices in making wine should be changed.
C. Tastry can analyze more wines per year than a human does.
D. The wine recommendation app is the best app of its kind.
31. What’s the best title of the text?
A. The Wide Application of AI B. Teaching Computers to Taste Wine
C. Is Tastry a Substitute for a Sommelier? D. Will an App Succeed in the Near Future?
D
If you’re homeless and looking for temporary shelter in Hawaii’s capital, expect a visit from a robotic police dog that will scan your eye to make sure you don t have a fever. That’s just one of the ways public safety agencies are starting to use Spot, the best-known of a new commercial category of robots that run around with animal-like agility (敏捷).
The handful of police officials experimenting with the four-legged machines say they’re just another tool, like existing drones (无人机) and simple wheeled robots, to keep emergency responders out of harm’s way as they search for dangers.
Joseph O’Neal, an officer of the Honolulu Police Department, said the robot has protected officers, shelter staff and residents by scanning body temperatures between meal times at a shelter where homeless people could quarantine (隔离) and get tested for COVID-19. The robot is also used to remotely interview individuals who have tested positive.
The company that makes the robots, Boston Dynamics, says it’s trying to do a good job of explaining to the public—and its customers—what Spot can and cannot do. “One of the big challenges is accurately describing the state of the technology to people who have never had personal experience with it,” said Michael Perry, vice president of business development at Boston Dynamics. “Most people are applying ideas from science fiction to what the robot’s doing.”
Earlier this year, the police division sent its Spot into the site of a deadly drug lab explosion near the Belgian border to check for dangerous chemicals and other hazards.
There are roughly 500 Spot robots now in the wild. Perry said they’re commonly used by utility companies to inspect high-voltage zones and other dangerous areas. Spot is also used to monitor construction sites, mines and factories, equipped with whatever sensor (传感器) is needed for the job.
It’s still mostly controlled by humans, though all they have to do is tell it which direction to go and it can climb stairs or cross over rough area. It can also operate autonomously, but only if it’s already memorized an assigned route and there aren’t too many surprise obstacles. “The first value that most people see in the robot is taking a person out of a dangerous situation,” Perry said.
32. What’s the company’s big challenge?
A. To describe the technology. B. To win its customers’ respect.
C. To promote the Spot robots. D. To produce more Spot robots.
33. What’s the underlined word “hazards” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Robbers. B. Labs. C. Dangers. D. Sensors.
34. What can we infer about Spot robots from the last paragraph?
A. They can plan their own route easily. B. They can memorize a familiar route.
C. They can overcome many obstacles. D. They can choose direction themselves.
35. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A textbook. B. A newspaper. C. A science fiction. D. A health magazine.

Persistence (坚持) is a hot topic among education researchers these days and for good reason: It’s critical for success in school and beyond. Here are five tips for developing this quality in your child.
Let them play.
Just like adults, kids tend to work harder when they love what they’re doing. What’s the best way to help your child discover what they’re passionate about? 36 So if your child’s curiosity is inspired by any topic from acrobatics (杂技) to zoology, you can support their interest by offering additional exposure to that subject.
Help them practise self-control.
37 Studies have shown that higher levels of self-control early in life predict how well kids do academically, as well as a host of other positive outcomes including adult earnings, savings, and physical health.
Aim high.
Many studies have shown that kids work harder and do better when their teacher has high expectations for them. 38 High achievers who persevere in the face of challenges tend to come from families with high standards for their academic success and a home environment that supports learning.
Praise the process.
A previous research shows that when children are praised for their intelligence or talents, they avoid challenges. But when children are praised for hard work that paid off, they are more likely to seek out challenges and keep going when things get tough. 39
Extracurricular help.
Activities outside of regular school hours, such as sports, drama, debate, or music, are a great context for learning how to work hard at something over time. Research shows that students who participate in extracurricular activities get better grades and have higher self-esteem (自尊), lower rates of depression, and lower dropout rates than students who don’t. 40 Kids who stick with the same activity for two years are more likely to increase their possibilities of employment soon after college.
A. Parental expectations matter, too.
B. Let them explore freely and widely.
C. They are more motivated and successful.
D. Switching from person-praise to process-praise is easy.
E. Hard goals can help your child focus their attention and work harder.
F. Self-control is closely related to the ability to work toward a goal over time.
G. Kids who devote one year to the same activity are more likely to graduate from college.

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 was moving as fast as I could, stepping carefully from rock to rock along the uneven jetty (防波堤). “Too slow, sister!” I heard my brother Sam yell as he jumped with ease.
I’ll show him and attempted a double jump. What a mistake! My left foot came down hard between the edges of two gray rocks, scraping (刮伤) my ankle. “Ouch!” I yelled.
I tried to pull my foot out, but my shoe was stuck. I bent closer to the rock, and that’s when I saw it: a shiny, square shaped stone attached to a shining gold chain. It was just lying there on the wet sand, and a few seconds later it was in my pocket.
“Why do you look strange?” my brother asked once I’d freed my foot and caught up to him. “I don’t look strange,” I said. Sam looked at the sun. Could he tell I was hiding the most perfect discovery of the summer? I kept turning the treasure around in my pocket, pushing each corner of the square stone into my finger. I was excited, but I didn’t want Sam to notice. He liked to tell everybody my business.
“Ryan kept the paper napkins (餐巾) from the Andersons’ barbecue!” he had once announced. They were stamped “R.A.” Those are my initials! “Ryan saved the mini cola bottle from the carnival!”
My family calls me their “little collector”. Some mean kids at school call me “trash (垃圾) girl”.
Sam and I walked along the main street. Through the window of the candy shop I could see tubes of colourful jelly beans. A sign on the window’s glass read LOST: Gold and blue necklace. Verry special. If found, call Chrissy at 555-9924.
Chrissy had drawn a crayon version of the necklace at the bottom of the poster. The necklace looked different from the one I clutched (抓) in my pocket, I decided. Rounder, bluer. The poster appeared old and weathered. It must have been put up months ago.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Once home, I placed the necklace into my box, attracted by it.
Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting in a café across from Chrissy.

第二节
One possible version:
Once home, I placed the necklace into my box, attracted by it. I stared at the stone, so clean and polished. I liked it so much. But another voice whispered, “Could it be Chrissy’s? Was it her ‘verrry special’ necklace?” I struggled a while but I called the number on the poster. “Hello?” said a girl’s voice after one ring. “Hi,” I said, nervous. “Is this Chrissy?” “Yes.” ‘‘Um, my name is Ryan. I think I have something that belongs to you.” “My necklace?”
Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting in a café across from Chrissy. We were drinking milk tea. “It was a gift from my mum,” she said, “before she got sick.” Chrissy looked down at the blue stone in her hand. “I’m really sorry,” I said. “Holding on to it somehow makes things a little better,” she said. “Do you know what I mean?” I thought about the mean kids at school and how holding on to beautiful things often makes me feel better. I nodded. “I think I do.”
