Growing up, Deka Ismail says she let labels define what she could be. “I was a black girl, from a refugee(难民) family，” Deka said. “It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this predetermined（预定的） box.”

After a high school chemistry class inspired her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field, Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future. Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor.

Born and raised in San Diego's City Heights neighborhood, Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple. While some might say Deka's success happened in spite of her background, she would say differently, that experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven, young scientist that she is today.

When Deka was eight years old, her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family. That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one's life. She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didn't do many of the things her peers did, like partying or having romantic relationships.

“I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family，” Deka said. “You have to do your best and do much better than everyone else. I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up.”

Deka's efforts paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme. “She brought both enthusiasm and focus，” Botham, a researcher at this research institute, recalled. “She arrived every day ready to work, ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar.”

When asked what advice she would give to others like her, Deka warned them not to underestimate（低估） themselves. “Don't tell yourself that scholarship（奖学金） is too big or this programme is too competitive or I'll never get into this school，” she said. “I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance letters rolling in.”

A ten­year­old boy from Howell, Michigan is being praised as a hero thanks to his persistence(坚持) that led to saving the life of an elderly neighbor.The event happened late in an evening when Danny DiPietro was being driven home from hockey practice by his mom.

That's when the young boy noticed an open garage and a figure that he believed was a dog outside an apartment building near his house. Given the freezing weather, the young boy got a feeling that something was not right. But instead of giving it up like most kids at his age,  he insisted that his mother,  Dawn,  find out what was going on. Dawn tried to make Danny believe that no one would leave a dog out in such cold  weather, but he refused to take no for an answer.

Dawn finally gave in and decided to drive to the area with the family dog and see if there was any truth in Danny's hunch(直觉). Sure enough, as she got closer to the apartment building she noticed a garage that was wide open and someone waving madly for help. Upon getting there, she realized that it was not a dog the young boy had seen, but Kathleen St. Onge.The 80­year­old woman had fallen down on some ice in front of her garage and had been lying there for two hours, unable to get up.

Dawn rushed home to get her husband to help and called 911. The two then returned with some blankets to cover Ms St. Onge, and after that they waited for the ambulance to arrive. Though still in hospital, the elderly woman is recovering well and forever grateful to Danny for following his hunch!

Scientists say they have developed a system that uses machine learning to predict when and where lightning will strike. Researchers report the system is able to predict lightning strikes up to 30 minutes before they happen within a 30­kilometer area.

Lightning is a strong burst of electricity in the atmosphere. Since it carries an extremely powerful electrical charge, it can be destructive and deadly. European researchers have estimated that between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. For this reason, climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict lightning.

The system tested in the experiments uses a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods. The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning.

The model was created with data collected over a 12­year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas. The data, related to four main surface conditions: air pressure, air temperature, relative humidity（潮湿） and wind speed, was placed into a unique machine learning algorithm(算法), which compared it to records of lightning strikes. Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens.

The researchers tested and ran the system several times. They found that the system made predictions that proved correct almost 80 percent of the time. “It can now be used anywhere，” the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology said in a statement.

The researchers plan to keep developing the technology in partnership with a European effort that aims to create a lightning protection program. The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod project. Scientists working on the project are experimenting with a laser technology that could someday control lightning activity, transferring lightning charges from clouds to the ground. They hope that such technology can one day be used as protection against lightning strikes. Possible uses could be at stations, airports or places where large crowds gather.

32．Why was the system developed?

A．To meet kids' curiosity about lightning.  B．To show the power of lightning.

C．To keep track of lightning deaths.      D．To protect people from lightning.

33．What is special about the system?

A．It was based on a number of samples worldwide.

B．It adopted a different machine learning algorithm.

C．It used an effective method of collecting data.

D．It required low cost of predicting lightning.

34．What will the researchers do next with the laser technology?

A．Monitor lightning activity.       B．Prevent the occurrence of lightning.

C．Direct energy from lightning.    D．Generate electricity with lightning.

35．What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．A System of Controlling Lightning   

B．A Method of Forecasting Lightning

C．A Theory of Employing Lightning   

D．A Model of Creating Lightning

Competition（竞争） is a common phenomenon in our social life.  36   There is constant competition for academic degrees, jobs, customers, money and so forth. In a sense, competition is one of the motive forces to the development of society.

  37   Therefore, the only way to survive is to be competitive. Growing in a competitive environment is important for a child because future adult life is difficult. Finding a good job, for example, is an extremely competitive activity.

Today, most people obtain knowledge through various ways and a large number of people get good education.   38   The quality of people is rapidly increasing. Competition is more violent than what we thought it should be. The potentially successful job applicant has to be prepared in stronger position by gaining more qualifications and experience. In the sports contests, the strongest will come out as winners. In the business world, to beat your competitors, you must be better than the other employees.   39 

Though the only way our world rewards people is to give honor to the winners, not to the losers, by attempting to compete at different activities, we can still learn to win and lose, gain experience and know our strengths and weaknesses. Competition prepares us for the tough things in life.

Whether in games, in study or in business alike, the aim is to win the game, the degree, the trophy, and the contract.  40 

A．Otherwise, you will be defeated.

B．Modern society demands high­quality talents.

C．Learning to be competitive is clearly the best preparation for life.

D．There are also many people who have higher degrees in their special fields.

E．Children have to learn to be competitive in order to adapt to modern society.

F．In the natural world, the weak will be replaced by the strong and the fittest can live.

G．We compete when we play games and when we try to do better than others in our study.

Two years ago, my friend and I were at college. With his birthday quickly   41  , he came to me with an unusual request:  Instead of receiving presents,  he wanted to do some acts of kindness.

I was   42   with such an idea. Giving instead of taking for the birthday was really different. I asked him how he could come up with such a   43   idea. He told me about a TED talk he had watched on generosity, which had   44   him. So we started to   45   creative things we could do.

We were met with many smiles and appreciative words. It was amazing to see how a   54   act or even intention of generosity can lift everyone's spirit.

Dujiangyan is the oldest man­made water system in the world, and a wonder in the development of Chinese science.  56  (build) over 2,200 years ago in what is now Sichuan Province in southwest China, this amazing engineering   57  (achieve) is still used today.

In ancient times, the region in which Dujiangyan now stands  58  (suffer) from regular floods caused by overflow from the Minjiang River.   59  (help) the victims of the flooding, Li Bing, the region governor, together with his son, decided to find a solution. Li designed a series of channels built at different levels along Mount Yulei that would take away the floodwater while leaving the river flowing naturally.   60  (good) still, the extra water could be directed to the dry Chengdu Plain, making   61   suitable for farming.

Once the system was finished, no more floods occurred and the people were able to live   62  (peaceful). Today, Dujiangyan is admired by scientists from around the world because of one feature. Unlike modern dams   63   the water is blocked with a huge wall, Dujiangyan still lets water flow through the Minjiang River naturally,   64   (enable) ecosystem(生态系统) and fish populations to exist   65   harmony.

Recently our city has often seen the heavy smog weather, which has done great harm to our daily life. Due to the heavy smog, many traffic accidents happened, some people got injured and some even lost their life. Besides, more and more people who are suffering symptoms related to smog have to go to see the doctor.

Now that we have realised the great harm caused by the smog, we should take measures to reduce the smog.It is vital to raise people’s awareness of protecting environment. People should go to work by bus or by bike instead of driving and should plant more trees to make air cleaner.Only in this way can we save ourselves from the smog.

I sincerely hope all the citizens in our city can work together to do something to save the air we breathe every day.
