Kawasaki disease is every parent’s nightmare. This rare illness causes inflammatin (炎症) in bld vessels and can damage the heart f babies and yung children. Histrically, it has been difficult t diagnse (诊断), until recently, when a yung inventr develped an app that can detect it.
When Ellen Xu, a San Dieg native, was five, her parents rushed her kid sister t the hspital. Three-year-ld Kate, develped a high fever, red eyes, and a rash (皮疹). At first the puzzled dctrs guessed that she had a flu. But when her cnditin didn’t imprve, the Xus returned t the Emergency Rm, where Kate was diagnsed with Kawasaki disease. Kate was then treated with antibdies that help bst immunity (免疫力). In time, she shk ff the illness withut suffering damage t her heart, making her ne f the lucky nes.
Years later, Ellen, needing a prject fr a high schl science fair, recalled her sister’s illness. “It was a puzzle I wanted t slve,” she says. S, she set ut t d just that. Using data, she created an AI-pwered app t identify the physical symptms f Kawasaki disease frm a pht. The app wrks similarly t apps that identify plants r birds. It scans a phtgraph f the child and lks fr signs f Kawasaki disease, such as rashes and a swllen tngue. It’s a brilliant innvatin that likely wuldn’t have cme abut if it all weren’t s persnal.
Ellen’s innvatin earned recgnitin, and sn, her app will be available n the Kawasaki Disease Fundatin’s website. What started as a science fair prject culd nw help dctrs diagnse the disease faster, preventing heart damage in yung children.
As fr Kate? Ellen says the little girl with the mysterius disease is nw a thriving high schl junir with dreams f becming an envirnmental engineer. And Ellen, nw at Stanfrd, prves that even childhd struggles can inspire brilliant slutins.
24. The underlined phrase “shk ff” in paragraph 2 mst likely means .
A. dealt withB. recvered frm
C. became aware fD. put up with
25. What inspired Ellen Xu t develp her AI app fr Kawasaki disease detectin?
A. Her interest in AI prgramming.
B. Her need fr her schl science fair.
C. Her wn battle with Kawasaki disease.
D. Her sister’s childhd illness experience.
26. Hw des Ellen’s app wrk t detect Kawasaki disease?
A. By mnitring the rashes and swllen tngue.
B. By analyzing phtgraphs f visible symptms.
C. By tracking antibdies that help bst immunity.
D. By cmparing symptms with histrical patient data.
27.What may be the best title fr the passage?
A. Hw AI Is Revlutinizing Rare Disease Detectin
B. Kawasaki Disease: Overcming Diagnsis Challenges
C. A Sister’s Fight against Disease Sparks an AI Lifesaver
D. Frm Science Fair t Medical Fame: Ellen Xu’s Jurney

Mst f us have sme “gut feelings” that we can’t explain. Fr example, when we hunt fr a new huse, we might suddenly like it a lt r dislike it right away. Or when we meet new peple, we make instant judgements n them withut careful thught. Research dne by Leeds University shws that these feelings, r intuitins, are real and we shuld take them seriusly.
Accrding t the research, intuitin is the result f the way ur brains stre, prcess and btain infrmatin n a subcnscius (潜意识的) level, and s is a real psychlgical phenmenn that needs further study t help us unlck its ptential.
There are many cases where intuitin prevented majr disasters, and cases f remarkable recveries when dctrs fllwed their gut feelings. Yet, science has histrically questined the cncept f intuitin, labelling it as “anti-scientific”. Thrugh analysis f a wide range f research papers examining the phenmenn, researchers have cncluded that intuitin is the brain drawing n past experiences and external cues t decide—but ne that happens s fast that the reactin is n a nn-cnscius level. All we’re aware f is a general feeling that smething is right r wrng.
Researchers believe that peple usually experience true intuitin when they are under severe time pressure r in a situatin f infrmatin verlad r acute danger, where cnscius analysis f the situatin may be difficult r impssible. They cite a Frmula One driver, wh nce braked suddenly befre a sharp U-turn withut knwing why. This autmatic reactin saved him frm crashing int a pile f cars ahead, likely preventing a fatal accident. Thugh he culdn’t explain his urge t stp, it verrde his cmpetitive drive t win. After psychlgists shwed the driver a vide replay, he realized at that very mment the crwd wasn’t cheering as usual—they std frzen, staring in the ppsite directin as he apprached the U-turn. That was the cue. He didn’t cnsciusly prcess this, but he knew smething was wrng and stpped in time.
Researchers believe that all intuitive experiences are based n the autmatic evaluatin f such internal and external cues. They say that we clearly need bth cnscius and nn - cnscius thught prcesses, but neither is superir t the ther.
28. What des the research frm Leeds University indicate?
A. Gut feelings are nt reliable in daily life.
B. Peple ught t trust their intuitive feelings.
C. Intuitin is just a randm psychlgical respnse.
D. Intuitive respnses ften lead t wrng decisins.
29. Accrding t Paragraph 3, what can we infer abut intuitin?
A. Intuitin is a randm guess with n lgical basis.
B. Intuitin nly wrks in life - threatening situatins.
C. Intuitin relies n cnscius analysis f visible dangers.
D. Intuitin invlves subcnscius prcessing f external cues.
30. Which f the fllwing real - life situatins best illustrates the applicatin f intuitin?
A. A shpper picks a prduct simply because its package lks attractive.
B. A firefighter suddenly rerutes a rescue missin after sensing sme hidden risks.
C. A student slves math prblems by strictly fllwing frmulas and lgical reasning.
D. A student quickly guesses randm answers withut cnsideratin during a timed quiz.
31. What is the authr’s main purpse in writing this article?
A. T describe hw brains prcess external cues.
B. T criticize the veruse f intuitin in daily life.
C. T cmpare cnscius and subcnscius thinking.
D. T explain the scientific basis and value f intuitin.

The Chinese Assciatin fr Artificial Intelligence recently annunced that Tianjin University’s jint research prject n “Key Technlgies and Applicatins f Lw - Altitude Intelligent Perceptin (低空智能感知)” has wn the 2024 Wu Wenjun Artificial Intelligence Science and Technlgy Prgress Award. This breakthrugh addresses three majr challenges in drne perceptin—pr visibility in bad weather, imaging inaccuracy during high—speed flight, and limited bservatin angles—marking significant prgress in China’s lw-altitude ecnmy develpment.
Despite drnes’ grwing rles in disaster relief and brder patrls, their practical applicatins have been restricted by envirnmental factrs. Prfessr Hu Qinghua explained that rain, snw, and fg culd reduce image recgnitin accuracy by up t 60%, while single drnes ften miss critical spatial (空间的) infrmatin. The research team tackled these issues thrugh three innvative slutins: all-weather sensing technlgy, self-imprving algrithms (算法), and multi-drne cperatin systems.
The team established a “tw - way cupling between degradatin and restratin” theretical framewrk, enabling clearer image recvery in cmplex cnditins. By creating multi - sensr engines and dynamic clsed - lp systems, which use feedback t autmatically adjust their actins and maintain desired cnditins, they imprved target tracking precisin by 6.3% during sandstrms and enhanced lw - light detectin capability by 13.2%. Their self - evlving perceptin mdel, trained using China’s largest lw - altitude visual database VisDrne and supprted by Tianjin’s Ascend cmputing center, addresses data blurring caused by rapid mvement thrugh real-time quality enhancement.
Practical applicatins have shwn remarkable results. Drne fleets can nw lcate fire surces thrugh thick smke during frest fires, while agricultural plant prtectin drnes achieve centimeter-level pesticide spraying accuracy. During fld rescue peratins, 30 crdinated drnes successfully tracked three speeding vehicles at the same time in heavy rain, achieving 85.6% tracking success rates.
These technlgies are sld as smart systems fr single drnes and systems fr drne teams wrking tgether, earning ver 2.8 billin yuan by selling 340,000 devices. Experts predict wider applicatins in smart city management and eclgical prtectin as 5G netwrks expand. This innvatin is expected t reshape airspace resurce applicatin patterns, ptentially creating a trillin-yuan market in China’s emerging lw-altitude ecnmy.
32. What majr limitatins did drnes face befre this technlgical breakthrugh?
A. Battery drain during cmplex data prcessing.
B. Sensr degradatin in high-altitude envirnments.
C. Image recgnitin failures under different weather cnditins.
D. Limited wireless cmmunicatin capabilities in muntainus regins.
33. Which methd imprved drnes’ wrk in sandstrms?
A. Using special camera filters.
B. Making camera lenses lighter.
C. Creating systems that self - adjust.
D. Prgramming AI t remve dust.
34. Hw has the innvatin enhanced agricultural applicatins f drnes?
A. By enabling precise chemical spraying.
B. By imprving image recgnitin accuracy.
C. By enabling centimeter - level detectin accuracy.
D. By using a self - evlving algrithm fr pesticide spraying.
35. What can be inferred abut the future develpment f drne technlgy?
A. It will be widely applied due t its high prfitability.
B. It will be sld as smart systems in eclgical cnservatin.
C. It will sn replace manned aircraft in disaster rescue peratins.
D. It will cntribute t the refrm f airspace resurce applicatin patterns.

Mike awke t the sund f the alarm clck. Nrmally, this was fllwed by feelings f wrry abut the day ahead. But tday was different. Tday he culdn’t wait t g t schl.
He rushed t his desk and picked up the ld jam jar which cntained a clurful butterfly. It had taken him hurs t catch and nw it was ging t be part f his bilgy presentatin fr schl.
While mst f his classmates wuld be shwing drawings f insects r animals taken frm textbks, Mike planned t present smething different—a live creature. This was sure t get him the highest grade in the class.
Mike sat at his desk admiring the insect’s beautiful red and yellw wings. He had made air hles in the jar’s lid, and added leaves fr the butterfly t eat. It might be in a glass prisn but at least it was being well cared fr, Mike thught as he left fr schl.
Mike entered the classrm early, and put the jar in his desk. Bilgy was the first lessn after lunch and he wanted his presentatin t be a surprise. After taking the jar frm his bag, he nticed the butterfly was very still. Its wings mved very slwly and its clur seemed t have faded t. Prbably just a little tired frm the trip in the bag, Mike hped.
Thrughut the mrning, Mike secretly checked n the insect. Each time it seemed a little stiller, its clur a little duller. Smething was wrng. When the lunch-bell rang, he waited fr his classmates t leave befre pening the jar. The butterfly was still alive, but nly just.
He tk the jar t the bathrm and sprinkled a few drps f water n the butterfly’s head. The cling effect was instant. The butterfly came t life again and Mike barely managed t replace the lid befre the butterfly flew ut. But rather than pleasure, the sight f the revived butterfly crashing against the jar, desperate fr freedm, made Mike feel guilty. He was being cruel fr a mark.
As he walked back t class, feeling ashamed, the bell went again. It was time fr Bilgy. He walked ver t the windw, pened the jar and set the butterfly free. A mment later the bilgy teacher entered. “Mike, yur presentatin’s first tday.”
“Srry sir,” the by replied, “I frgt all abut it.”

Pssible Versin 1 :
The teacher nticed an empty jam jar in Mike's hand. “What happened t yur presentatin, Mike?” Mr. Thmpsn asked, raising an eyebrw. Mike hesitated, then cnfessed. “ set the butterfly free. It wasn’t right t keep it trapped.” T his surprise, the teacher ndded. “Smetimes the best lessns aren't abut grades,” he said, “but abut understanding life.”
After hearing what the teacher said, Mike culd hardly believe his ears. Instead f sclding him, Mr. Thmpsn invited Mike t share his experience with the class. With shaky hands, Mike std up. “I thught catching a butterfly wuld make my prject special,” he admitted, “but watching it struggle made me realize-we shuldn't hurt living things just t impress thers." The classrm fell silent, then burst int applause. Later, Mike wrte a new reprt titled “Respect Over Grades”.
Pssible Versin 2 :
The teacher nticed the empty jar in Mike’s hand. Mike frze, his sweaty hands almst drpping it. He expected a sclding fr his failed prject, but the teacher smiled gently. “Yu set the butterfly free, didn’t yu?” Mike ndded, his face turning red. Instead f getting angry, the teacher patted his shulder. “This shws yu understand smething mre imprtant than grades,” he said. Mike's heart punded - this wasn’t hw he imagined the cnversatin wuld g.
After hearing what the teacher said, Mike culd hardly believe his ears. The teacher’s wrds gave Mike unexpected curage. Standing befre the class, he shared his stry simply: “I culdn’t hurt the butterfly fr a grade.” T his surprise, classmates ndded thughtfully. One even said, “That was brave!” Thugh Mike received n grade that day, he learned a real lessn abut respecting life--a truth that wuld stay with him lng after schl.
