Ariel Prcaccia has always been attracted by big questins and hard prblems. When he was a teenager, Prcaccia lved reading bks abut big ideas. One f his favrites was Fermat’s Last Therem, which tells the stry f a math puzzle (难题) that remained unslved fr mre than 300 years. Anther bk he enjyed was A Brief Histry f Time, which explres deep questins abut the universe.
By the time he went t cllege, Prcaccia knew he wanted t study tw f three things — math, cmputer science and physics. “But my dad is a physics prfessr, and it seemed strange t d the same thing he did,” Prcaccia says. “S I chse the ther tw.”
Tday, Prcaccia is a cmputer scientist at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. There, he designs cmputer algrithms (算法) that can slve prblems quickly and fairly. Thrugh this wrk, Prcaccia has been able t address sme big prblems that directly affect peple’s daily lives.
One f his favrite prjects is Spliddit.rg. It’s a free website that helps peple divide things in a way that mathematically ensures fairness. Fr example, ne f the apps n Spliddit is rent divisin. Say a few rmmates rent an apartment and have different preferences ver rms. The gal is t assign (分配) the rms and divide the rent in a way that each rmmate feels they gt the best deal. Since Spliddit was started in 2014, it has been used by hundreds f thusands f peple.
Fr thse wh think cmputer science is nly abut cmputers, Prcaccia has a different view. He believes it is really abut slving prblems in the best way pssible. He encurages peple t explre it, even if they think they are nt interested in cmputers. He says, “It’s nt just abut the machines; it’s abut using them t make a real difference in peple’s lives.”
4. What can we learn abut Prcaccia frm the first paragraph?
A. He has a curius mind.B. He lnged t be a teacher.
C. He was a quiet teenager.D. He enjys writing stries.
5. Why did Prcaccia study math and cmputer science in cllege?
A. He accepted his father’s suggestin.
B. He failed t chse the subjects he lved.
C. He was unwilling t fllw his father’s path.
D. He thught cmputer science was mre ppular.
6. What is the main purpse f the website Spliddit.rg?
A. T encurage students t explre math.B. T share infrmatin n lw-rent husing.
C. T help its users find suitable rmmates.D. T ffer slutins t fair divisin prblems.
7. What is Prcaccia’s pinin abut cmputer science?
A. It is mainly abut cmputers.B. It aims t imprve peple’s daily lives.
C. It nly draws cllege students.D. It depends n future cmputer scientists.

A recent update frm the U. S. Gelgical Survey ffers new insights int the chances f Yellwstne’s supervlcan erupting. This vlcan is ne f the wrld’s largest active vlcanes.
Written by Mark Stelten, a scientist at the Yellwstne Vlcan Observatry, the pst analyzes (分析) the vlcan’s eruptive histry and current activity t shw that the sleeping giant shuld, thankfully, remain asleep fr a while lnger.
Stelten says that predicting (预测) the likelihd f an eruptin depends n knwing the eruptive histry f the vlcanic system. Scientists need t cunt past eruptins and when they happened. This helps them figure ut eruptin prbabilities.
T explain this idea, Stelten takes a baseball fr example in the update: “Imagine yu live next t a baseball field, and smetimes balls land in yur yard. T guess when the next ball will cme, yu cunt hw many have landed in a perid (let’s say, ne year). Then, yu can estimate the chances f anther ball arriving tmrrw, next week, r next mnth.”
Applying this apprach t Yellwstne, Stelten ntes that the vlcan has nt erupted in the past 70,000 years, but was active with rhylite lava flws every 20,000 years n average between 160,000 and 70,000 years ag.
“Des this mean we are nw in the vlcanic ff-seasn? Or des it mean we are ‘due’ fr an eruptin?” Stelten asks.
“The reality is that we cannt say fr sure based n these methds alne. Instead, we must cmbine these types f predictins with real-time mnitring f the vlcan t assess (评估) the state f the vlcanic system. Right nw, the chance f an eruptin is abut 0.001% per year, and even that number might be t high,” Stelten writes.
There are n warning signs f an eruptin. Hwever as Stelten ntes, “One day — maybe in thusands f years r even tens f thusands f years — this culd change. Scientists will cntinue t watch fr any signs.”
8. What des the pst find abut Yellwstne’s supervlcan?
A. It has shwn warning signs f erupting.B. It is the wrld’s largest active vlcan.
C. It keeps inactive in the freseeable future.D. It will shape ur views n natural disasters.
9. Why did Stelten mentin a baseball in the update?
A. T intrduce a ppular sprts event t readers.
B. T stress the imprtance f ding mre exercise.
C. T warn peple t stay away frm baseball fields.
D. T explain hw scientists predict vlcanic eruptins.
10. What did Stelten think f Yellwstne’s eruptive histry?
A. It will remind researchers t change methds.
B. It plays a part in assessing the vlcanic system.
C. It means we are nw in the vlcanic ff-seasn.
D. It helps scientists t understand climate change.
11. What is the text mainly abut?
A. A science reprt.B. A turist attractin.
C. A famus expert.D. A mathematical errr.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A

Plants play a key rle in cntrlling Earth’s climate, but new research suggests rising temperatures may break this balance. Dr. Sean Michaletz, a researcher at the University f British Clumbia, studies hw plants respnd t heat. His findings challenge a lng-held idea abut hw plants lse water, leading t new ways f understanding climate change.
Previusly, scientists thught plants lst mst f their water thrugh tiny pres (气孔) that clse in high temperatures t save water. Hwever, Michaletz’s research finds that as temperatures rise, plants lse mre water thrugh their cuticle (角质层) — which cannt clse — than thrugh their tiny pres. The thinner the cuticle, the greater the water lss.
This means that in extreme heat, plants cntinue lsing water but cannt take in carbn dixide (CO2), reducing their rle as a carbn sink. In extreme temperatures, they culd even becme carbn surces, wrsening climate change.
Michaletz’s studies shw that phtsynthesis (光合作用) starts t break dwn between 40℃ and 51℃. In the 2021 heatwave, temperatures sared t 49.6℃, pushing plants t their limits. Michaletz’s nging research suggests that 60℃ may be the highest temperature plants can survive — beynd this pint, prteins break dwn, leading t cell damage and death. Only a few desert and trpical species have ever been bserved surviving at such extreme temperatures.
Scientists are wrking t find ut the “tipping pint” where Earth’s vegetatin gives ut mre CO2 than it takes in, which turns them frm a carbn sink int a carbn surce. This tipping pint culd happen at arund 30℃, thugh key uncertainties remain — especially hw micrclimates and water affect phtsynthesis under extreme heat.
Plants have survived ht weather fr hundreds f millins f years, but all species face upper limits set by the laws f physics. While sme plants can bear higher temperatures better than thers, scientists are unsure hw sn they might reach their breaking pint. Based n recent measurements, we may be clser than we think.
12. It was previusly believed that plants in ht weather culd ______.
A. lse water thrugh their cuticleB. have side effects n the ecsystem
C. send ut mre carbn than expectedD. save water by clsing their tiny pres
13. What des Michaletz’s research suggest?
A. Plants’ cuticle culd stp water lss in the heat.
B. Sme desert plants can predict extreme weather.
C. Phtsynthesis starts t break dwn at arund 60℃.
D. Rising temperatures reduce plants’ ability t take in CO2.
14. What des the underlined wrd “sared” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Fell sharply.B. Changed daily.C. Increased quickly.D. Mved carefully.
15. What can be inferred abut glbal warming frm the last paragraph?
A. It is likely t get wrse sn.B. It is reaching the breaking pint.
C. It is nt as serius as we thught.D. It is nt based n the latest study.
