A
I am Fionn Ferreira, an Irish teenager. Thank you judges for this honor and giving this award in my hand. I am very delighted to have won $50,000 for my project. My project came about as I was constantly hearing about plastic pollution on the news. And I also see the real effects on our beaches every day. I discovered, to my shock, that at present no filtration(过滤)for microplastics takes place in any European wastewater treatment centers, so I set up my project and started looking for a solution.
Seeing that there was none, I decided to study further, finally finding a way to use the fberofluid(铁磁流体), a liquid which sticks to the plastic allowing it to be removed using magnets(磁体).After over 1,000 tests I have proved that my method would remove 87% or higher of microplastics.
I grew up in West Cork, Ireland. My hometown is surrounded by untouched nature. This has been my first inspiration about how nature works. I soon discovered that science really was in everything. The fact that I lived in such a remote place meant that I had to build my own equipment and lab to do tests and experiments.
Inspired by scientists such as Ben Feringa and his work with organic chemistry and nanotechnology(纳米技术), I would like to study chemistry or chemical engineering when finishing my last year of secondary school. Both of these subjects will be suited to me as I really enjoy problem-solving and experiments.
One of the most valuable rewards from the science fair for me is the opportunity to present my work to a group of professional judges. Winning the prize is a great honor to me as this is a recognition of my project and ideas.
Also, the prize will give my project more attention. There is nothing I would like to see more than my project to be used in removing microplastics in our oceans worldwide.
26. Why did Fionn set up the project?
A. To win the prize. B. To clean the air.
C. To remove microplastics. D. To build a wastewater center.

A. The sandy beaches. B. The nature of his hometown.

C
A high school soccer player leaps into the air, hits the ball with his head and directs it to a teammate. Amid today’s growing awareness surrounding head injuries in sports, would wearing helmets protect the teen and prevent a possible concussion(脑震荡)?
Almost not. Two top doctors who specialize in sports helmet injuries—Dr. James Robinson and Dr. Larry Lemak, founders of Lemak Sports Medicine, said that there was no good scientific evidence that helmets could reduce the rate of concussion. Both of them regarded proper training, not helmets, as the best concussion prevention for soccer players.
That doesn’t mean there’s no need to worry about soccer concussions. For boys soccer, concussions accounted for 23 percent of all game injuries and 10 percent of all practice injuries, according to the study. For girls soccer, the study found concussions accounted for 36 percent of game injuries and 31 percent of practice injuries.
Knowing that, why isn’t a helmet useful? Isn’t some protection better than none at all? The doctors outlined several reasons helmets provide little protection.
First, wearing a helmet makes the head heavier. A heavier upper part may be more dangerous to the beginners. Secondly—and perhaps most importantly for girls, whose neck muscles are often weaker than boys—a helmet makes the head heavier. Imagine a top-heavy head, Robinson said, which increases the risk of falls. Since girls already face a heightened concussion risk, helmets could be especially dangerous for them. Lastly wearing helmets often gives teens a false sense of security. When helmets were matedated(授权)in hockey, head injuries increased ”because they felt unbeatable. “Sometimes the kids wearing helmets are more daring,said Chad Harrelson, boys soccer coach at St. PauPs in Mobile, ‘”because they think they have that added layer of protection.,,
Both coaches and doctors agree on three main ways to prevent soccer concussions. Firstly, learn proper rules and follow norms. Players who understand soccer’s rules and behave themselves are less likely to put themselves in harm’s way. Secondly, promote proper technique. Ifs important to have players know where other players are positioned. This reduces contact and can prevent head-to-head collisions or other dangerous situations. Thirdly, strengthen neck muscles which can protect both your necks and heads.
34. What can we learn from the words of two top doctors?
A. High quality helmets are a wise choice.
B. Athletes need wear helmets.
C. Science is on the side of helmets.
D. Helmets provide little protection.
35. The data in paragraph 3 serves as an evidence to show________.
A. training is the best prevention
B. how girls players get injured
C. boys are more likely to be hurt in training
D. why concussion should be concerned about
36. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Why helmets are useless. B. How helmets work.
C. What causes head injuries. D. Whom helmets are fit for.
37. What does the underlined word “norms” in the last paragraph mean?
A. The early examples. B. The set standards.
C. The suggestions of the athletes. D. The ways of using helmets.
D
University educators largely think highly of the wonders of teaching through technology, but experts question whether something is lost when professors and lecturers rely too heavily on electronic media or when interaction with students takes place remotely — in cyberspace rather than the real space of the classroom. Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, the Professor of Literature at Stanford University, is one such expert. “I think this enthusiastic and sometimes childish and blind pushing toward the more technology the better, the more websites the better teacher, and so forth, is very dangerous — is, indeed, self-destructive,” he indicates.
However, Gumbrecht warns that there are few, if any, studies either supporting or disapproving the assumption that traditional ways of teaching are superior to teaching via the Internet. He says that he could point only to his “insight that real classroom presence should be kept,” and emphasizes the need for educators to examine critically where technology serves a useful pedagogical (教学法的) function and where it does not.
Yet, Gumbrecht allows that, for courses in which knowledge transmission (传递) is the sole purpose, electronic media probably can do the job well enough. Indeed, given the 20th century’s knowledge explosion and the increasing costs of higher education, using technology as opposed to real-life teachers for the transmission of information is probably unavoidable, he admits. In any case, knowledge transmission should not be the core function of the university he maintains, noting that universities should be places where people deal with open questions, places for ‘‘intellectual complexity” and “riskfill thinking”.
“We are not about finding or transmitting solutions; we are not about recipes; we are not about making intellectual life easy. Challenges with complexity are what expands your mind. It is something like intellectual gymnastics. And this is what makes you a suitable member of the society.”
Moreover, discussions in the physical presence of others can lead to the intellectual innovation. There’s a qualitative change, and you don’t know how it happens. Discussions in the physical presence have the power of being the catalyst (催化齐) for such intellectual breakthroughs. The possibility of in-classroom teaching — of letting something happen which cannot happen if you teach by the transmission of information — is a strength.
38. What is Professor Gumbrecht’s major concern about teaching?
A. The systems of teaching through technology.
B. Students’ overdependence on electronic media.
C. The trend towards the more technology the better.
D. Experts’ questions on remote interaction with students.
39. Professor Gumbercht might agree that university education should ________.
A. replace the real-life teachers for the increasing costs
B. facilitate solution transmission for the knowledge explosion
C. prepare students for a well-rounded life for society
D. help students establish core values
40. According to the passage, discussion in the physical presence of others can________.
A. reduce the intellectual complexity
B. be the catalyst for the qualitative changes
C. lead to swifter and stronger information transmission
D. combine traditional teaching ways well with technology
41. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Cyberspace Interaction
B. Traditional Teaching Has Its Place
C. The Core Function Of The University
D. Information Transmission Cannot Help You Survive
四、阅读回答问题(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分)
阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，完成对该问题的回答。
Why are so many people afraid of failure? Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure can play a role as an experience that will lead to growth in our lives. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.
Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. The trouble with failure-prevention methods is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. Actually, the young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when we don’t win. A child who’s not invited to a birthday party, who doesn’t make the honor roll on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents shouldn’t of fer a quick comfort, prize or say. It doesn’t matter because it does. The young should be allowed to experience disappointment一and be helped to master it.
Failure is never pleasant. It hurts grown-ups and children alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Even a failure that seems total can stimulate(促进) fresh thinking or a change of direction.
After 12 years of studying ballet, a friend of mine went for a professional company. She was turned down. “Would further training help?” she asked. The ballet master shook his head. “You will never be a dancer”, he said, “You haven’t the body for it.”
In such cases, the way to use failure is to take stock of(估量) the situation courageously, asking, “What have I left? What else can I do?”My friend put away her toe shoes and moved into dance therapy, a field where she’s both able and useful. Failure frees one to take risks because there less to lose. Often there is recovery of energy—a way to find new possibilities.
42. What role does failure play in our lives?
______________________________________________________________________
43. What is the result of failure-prevention methods?
______________________________________________________________________
44 What positive contribution can a total failure make?
______________________________________________________________________
45. When the ballet master shook his head to the author’s friend, what did she do?
______________________________________________________________________
46. What do you learn from the friend of the author?
______________________________________________________________________

五、书面表达(共25分)
47. 【答案】Dear editor,
I am Li Hua an exchange student from China. I would like to share my environmental protection ideas and specific practices with you.
As we all know, everyone uses a lot of paper every day, which means cutting down a lot of trees every year. Therefore, I think we should save paper at ordinary times. The easiest way to do this is to fold a piece of paper whose both sides are used up, pack it up, and send it to a paper mill for recycling.
That’s how I save paper. I hope everyone can start from the little things around to love and protect our home.
Yours,
Li Hua
