2024 Youth Design Challenge (YDC) saw remarkable participation from across the world. The winners have offered unique nature-inspired ideas to solve local design challenges.
Green Buoy (浮标)
Oyster farming in South Korea is an industry that contributes to microplastic pollution in the ocean through the breakdown of buoys. Team Design Matter from Seoul created Green Buoy, which is made from a material that breaks down naturally, removing the risk of microplastic pollution and promoting sustainable marine farming. The team took inspiration from a water plant, mimicking its dome-shaped air pockets to provide buoyancy. They designed the buoy connector modules by studying the way that seahorses use their tails to hold firmly onto coral reefs.
The Beenard’s Canopy
Access to clean and affordable drinking water is still not a universal reality, particularly in South Sudan. Team A Squared from Beijing designed the Beenard’s Canopy. Inspired by the Namib Beetle, Moloch Lizard, and the Desert Rattlesnake, their device gathers the dew in the air, channels the collected water through a filter (过滤器) , and stores the water in a container for drinking purpose. The idea addresses the problem of lack of access to clean water by providing an economically practical solution.
Rain Net
In recent years, extreme weather has caused severe flooding in California, and yet, for most of this team’s life, California has been in a drought. Addressing both problems at once, the team designed a rain catchment device, Rain Net. Inspired by how plants move water and the patterns of leaf veins, the Rain Net has got inspiration from the xylem (木质部) in plants, in its design of tubes that guide, collect, and filter rainwater. The invention could be adapted to fit various roofs and the design makes it possible to connect various “nets,” allowing for more than one drainage (排水) system.
21. What problem did Team Design Matter intend to solve?
A. Coral reef damage. B. Microplastic pollution.
C. Marine diversity loss. D. Low oyster production.
22. What inspired the solution to urban flooding?
A. Desert creatures. B. The shapes of leaves.
C. Water movement in plants. D. The network of plant roots.
23. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To promote YDC program. B. To introduce the 2024 YDC winners.
C. To advertise nature-inspired designs. D. To explain the concept of biomimicry.
B
The outstanding biography portrays (刻画) the life of the complicated Renaissance (文艺复兴) artist with details. We come to see da Vinci as not only an inventor of music al instruments and early flying machines, but also a notebook keeper and vegetarian, who had trouble finishing many of the projects and paintings he started.
Yet what is most thrilling is getting to know da Vinci the scientist. Isaacson explains how loving science and applying the scientific method to observing the world was really what made da Vinci a great artist and, Isaacson argues, a genius. Da Vinci was fascinated with observing and understanding phenomena in nature. He wanted to know about everything around him, in minute detail, Isaacson writes. He wondered about questions “most people over the age of ten no longer puzzle about”— for instance, how the tongue of a woodpecker works.
To learn about the world, da Vinci combined his own observations with experimentation. Never formally schooled, “he preferred to induce (归纳) from experiments rather than deduce (推理) from theoretical principles.” Isaacson explains. He recorded his observations, looked for patterns among them, and then tested those patterns through additional observation and experimentation.
When he became fascinated with the idea that he could invent flying machines, he observed various birds and filled notebooks with the function and speed at which their wings flapped. That’s why Isaacson calls da Vinci an exemplar of this scientific method. He goes on: “Galileo, born 112 years after Leonardo, is usually credited with being the first to develop this kind of approach and is often regarded as the father of modern science.” There can be no doubt that this honor would have been bestowed (赠与) on Leonardo da Vinci had he published his scientific writings during his lifetime.
Da Vinci’s emphasis on empirical observation also helped him improve his art. First, he was able to use what he learned from looking at nature to paint and draw. His studies of the body, animals, motion, shadow and light, perspective and proportion helped him better understand what he was seeing in front of him, and render(表现) it in art more accurately and finely than anyone else of his time. Most importantly, his ability to connect art and science, helped him innovate in his work. Da Vinci made surprisingly diverse series of discoveries, including conceptualizing the helicopter and solar power and advancing knowledge about everything from the reproductive organs to botany. This genius is also what drew Isaacson to Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs as subjects: They’ re all innovators who were inspired by and drew connections between art and science.
“Leonardo da Vinci is the ultimate example of the main theme of my previous biographies: how the ability to make connections across disciplines — arts and sciences, humanities and technology — is a key to innovation, imagination, and genius,” Isaacson writes. And this wonderful book is a reminder, in a time of increasingly narrow specialization and focus, that the methods of Renaissance men like da Vinci are as relevant as ever.
24. What is the highlight of da Vinci’s biography?
A. His unfinished paintings. B. His preference for vegetables.
C. His spirit of exploring science. D. His opposition to formal education.
25. Why does Isaacson mention Galileo in the book?
A. To introduce his important findings in science.
B. To illustrate the significance of da Vinci’s research method.
C. To show the challenges faced by da Vinci during his lifetime.
D. To memorize his contributions as the father of modern science.
26. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Da Vinci improved his art and drew more accurately by painting mostly in the natural world.
B. The methods of Renaissance men like da Vinci can still apply to contemporary scientific research.
C. Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs are as famous as da Vinci for combining art with science.
D. Da Vinci failed to publish his scientific writing because the scientific method was inaccessible at that time.
27. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. How a Genius Changed the World B. The Features of Renaissance Art
C. How Science Shaped His Art D. The Comparison between Art and Science
C
Mark Temple, a medical molecular (分子的) biologist, used to spend a lot of time in his lab researching new drugs for cancer treatments. He would extract DNA from cells and then add a drug to see where it was binding (结合) along the chemical sequence (序列). Before he introduced the drug, he’d look at DNA combination on a screen to see what might work best for the experiment, but the visual readout of the sequences was often unimaginably large.
So Temple wondered if there was an easier way to detect favorable patterns. “I realized I wanted to hear the sequence,” says Temple, who is also a musician. He started his own system of assigning notes to the different elements of DNA — human DNA is made of four distinct bases, so it was easy to start off with four notes — and made a little tune out of his materials. This trick indeed helped him better spot patterns in the sequences, which allowed him to make better choices about which DNA combinations to use.
Temple isn’t the first person to turn scientific data into sound. In the past 40 years, researchers have gone from exploring this trick as a fun way to spot patterns in their studies to using it as a guide to discovery. And the scientific community has come to realize that there’s some long-term value in this type of work. Temple, who from that first experiment has created his own algorithmic software to turn data into sound, believes the resulting music can be used to improve research and science communication.
So Temple decided to add layers of sound to make the sonification (可听化) into songs. He sees a clear difference between “sonification” and “musification”. Using sound to represent data is scientific, but very different from using creative input to make songs. The musical notes from DNA may be melodic to the human ear, but they don’t sound like a song you’d listen to on the radio. So when he tried to sonify the virus, he added layers of drums and guitar, and had some musician friends add their own music to turn the virus into a full-blown post-rock song.
Temple sees this work as an effective communication tool that will help a general audience understand complex systems in biology. He has performed his songs in public at concert halls in Australia.
28. What is Mark Temple’s purpose in turning DNA data into sound?
A. To aid the process of his experiments. B. To develop his creative ability.
C. To make his drug more powerful. D. To help him fight boredom.
29. What can we learn about Temple’s system?
A. Its effect remains to be seen. B. It has produced satisfying results.
C. It is too complicated to operate. D. It failed to work as expected.
30. Why did Temple try to make the virus sound like real music when sonifying it?
A. To enhance people’s understanding of science.
B. To show his talent in producing music.
C. To get rid of public fear of the virus.
D. To remind people of the role of science in art creation.
31. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Why music can be the best way to present science.
B. How scientists help the public understand science.
C. Why scientists are turning molecules(分子) into music.
D. How music helps scientists conduct their research.
D
Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Liu’s imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life — wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away.
But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It’s the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.
In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C. Clarke (1917 — 2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke’s 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.
“My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (充满敬畏的) by the mystery of the universe.”
But no matter how far away Liu’s imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational (理性的). In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Liu’s works aren’t simply daydreams.
32. What do we know about Liu Cixin?
A. He became a full-time writer when he was young.
B. He is the first Asian to win the Arthur Clarke Award.
C. He is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award.
D. He dreamed about wandering in space from childhood.
33. Liu Cixin’s words are used mainly to show ___________.
A. his feeling after reading Clarke’s work B. his love of reading science fiction
C. his interest in mysteries of the universe D. his confusion when he started writing
34. Why did the author mention The Three-Body Problem and The Wandering Earth?
A. To prove that Liu Cixin’s works relate science to reality.
B. To explain how Liu Cixin came up with his ideas.
C. To show that Liu Cixin has a powerful imagination.
D. To compare the different writing styles in the two books.
35. What’s the text mainly about?
A. Liu Cixin’s contributions to science fiction. B. Liu Cixin’s achievements and writing style.
C. How Liu Cixin became a sci-fi writer. D. How Liu Cixin started a new sci-fi style.

Lucy was only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Heaving wandered in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand for while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand. She sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand, noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?”
“Oh yes... but I don’t have money on me” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man.
“Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Lucy cried silently.
“What is it?” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Lucy. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thank me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were baby. Can you remember the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?”
Lucy sat there speechless and numb with shock; she remembered mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home Lucy made up his mind to make an apology to her mother for his rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

2024 Youth Design Challenge (YDC) saw remarkable participation from across the world. The winners have offered unique, nature-inspired ideas to solve local design challenges.
Green Buoy (浮标)
Oyster farming in South Korea is an industry that contributes to microplastic pollution in the ocean through the breakdown of buoys. Team Design Matter from Seoul created Green Buoy, which is made from a material that breaks down naturally, removing the risk of microplastic pollution and promoting sustainable marine farming. The team took inspiration from a water plant, mimicking its dome-shaped air pockets to provide buoyancy. They designed the buoy connector modules by studying the way that seahorses use their tails to hold firmly onto coral reefs.
The Beenard’s Canopy
Access to clean and affordable drinking water is still not a universal reality, particularly in South Sudan. Team A Squared from Beijing designed the Beenard’s Canopy. Inspired by the Namib Beetle, Moloch Lizard, and the Desert Rattlesnake, their device gathers the dew in the air, channels the collected water through a filter (过滤器) , and stores the water in a container for drinking purpose. The idea addresses the problem of lack of access to clean water by providing an economically practical solution.
Rain Net
In recent years, extreme weather has caused severe flooding in California, and yet, for most of this team’s life, California has been in a drought. Addressing both problems at once, the team designed a rain catchment device, Rain Net. Inspired by how plants move water and the patterns of leaf veins, the Rain Net has got inspiration from the xylem (木质部) in plants, in its design of tubes that guide, collect, and filter rainwater. The invention could be adapted to fit various roofs and the design makes it possible to connect various “nets,” allowing for more than one drainage (排水) system.
21. What problem did Team Design Matter intend to solve?
A. Coral reef damage. B. Microplastic pollution.
C. Marine diversity loss. D. Low oyster production.
22. What inspired the solution to urban flooding?
A. Desert creatures. B. The shapes of leaves.
C. Water movement in plants. D. The network of plant roots.
23. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To promote YDC program. B. To introduce the 2024 YDC winners.
C. To advertise nature-inspired designs. D. To explain the concept of biomimicry.
【答案】21. B 22. C 23. B
【解析】

The outstanding biography portrays (刻画) the life of the complicated Renaissance (文艺复兴) artist with details. We come to see da Vinci as not only an inventor of music al instruments and early flying machines, but also a notebook keeper and vegetarian, who had trouble finishing many of the projects and paintings he started.
Yet what is most thrilling is getting to know da Vinci the scientist. Isaacson explains how loving science and applying the scientific method to observing the world was really what made da Vinci a great artist and, Isaacson argues, a genius. Da Vinci was fascinated with observing and understanding phenomena in nature. He wanted to know about everything around him, in minute detail, Isaacson writes. He wondered about questions “most people over the age of ten no longer puzzle about”— for instance, how the tongue of a woodpecker works.
To learn about the world, da Vinci combined his own observations with experimentation. Never formally schooled, “he preferred to induce (归纳) from experiments rather than deduce (推理) from theoretical principles.” Isaacson explains. He recorded his observations, looked for patterns among them, and then tested those patterns through additional observation and experimentation.
When he became fascinated with the idea that he could invent flying machines, he observed various birds and filled notebooks with the function and speed at which their wings flapped. That’s why Isaacson calls da Vinci an exemplar of this scientific method. He goes on: “Galileo, born 112 years after Leonardo, is usually credited with being the first to develop this kind of approach and is often regarded as the father of modern science.” There can be no doubt that this honor would have been bestowed (赠与) on Leonardo da Vinci had he published his scientific writings during his lifetime.
Da Vinci’s emphasis on empirical observation also helped him improve his art. First, he was able to use what he learned from looking at nature to paint and draw. His studies of the body, animals, motion, shadow and light, perspective and proportion helped him better understand what he was seeing in front of him, and render(表现) it in art more accurately and finely than anyone else of his time. Most importantly, his ability to connect art and science, helped him innovate in his work. Da Vinci made surprisingly diverse series of discoveries, including conceptualizing the helicopter and solar power and advancing knowledge about everything from the reproductive organs to botany. This genius is also what drew Isaacson to Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs as subjects: They’ re all innovators who were inspired by and drew connections between art and science.
“Leonardo da Vinci is the ultimate example of the main theme of my previous biographies: how the ability to make connections across disciplines — arts and sciences, humanities and technology — is a key to innovation, imagination, and genius,” Isaacson writes. And this wonderful book is a reminder, in a time of increasingly narrow specialization and focus, that the methods of Renaissance men like da Vinci are as relevant as ever.
24. What is the highlight of da Vinci’s biography?
A. His unfinished paintings. B. His preference for vegetables.
C. His spirit of exploring science. D. His opposition to formal education.
25. Why does Isaacson mention Galileo in the book?
A. To introduce his important findings in science.
B. To illustrate the significance of da Vinci’s research method.
C. To show the challenges faced by da Vinci during his lifetime.
D. To memorize his contributions as the father of modern science.
26. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Da Vinci improved his art and drew more accurately by painting mostly in the natural world.
B. The methods of Renaissance men like da Vinci can still apply to contemporary scientific research.
C Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs are as famous as da Vinci for combining art with science.
D. Da Vinci failed to publish his scientific writing because the scientific method was inaccessible at that time.
27. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. How a Genius Changed the World B. The Features of Renaissance Art
C. How Science Shaped His Art D. The Comparison between Art and Science
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. B 27. C

Mark Temple, a medical molecular (分子的) biologist, used to spend a lot of time in his lab researching new drugs for cancer treatments. He would extract DNA from cells and then add a drug to see where it was binding (结合) along the chemical sequence (序列). Before he introduced the drug, he’d look at DNA combination on a screen to see what might work best for the experiment, but the visual readout of the sequences was often unimaginably large.
So Temple wondered if there was an easier way to detect favorable patterns. “I realized I wanted to hear the sequence,” says Temple, who is also a musician. He started his own system of assigning notes to the different elements of DNA — human DNA is made of four distinct bases, so it was easy to start off with four notes — and made a little tune out of his materials. This trick indeed helped him better spot patterns in the sequences, which allowed him to make better choices about which DNA combinations to use.
Temple isn’t the first person to turn scientific data into sound. In the past 40 years, researchers have gone from exploring this trick as a fun way to spot patterns in their studies to using it as a guide to discovery. And the scientific community has come to realize that there’s some long-term value in this type of work. Temple, who from that first experiment has created his own algorithmic software to turn data into sound, believes the resulting music can be used to improve research and science communication.
So Temple decided to add layers of sound to make the sonification (可听化) into songs. He sees a clear difference between “sonification” and “musification”. Using sound to represent data is scientific, but very different from using creative input to make songs. The musical notes from DNA may be melodic to the human ear, but they don’t sound like a song you’d listen to on the radio. So when he tried to sonify the virus, he added layers of drums and guitar, and had some musician friends add their own music to turn the virus into a full-blown post-rock song.
Temple sees this work as an effective communication tool that will help a general audience understand complex systems in biology. He has performed his songs in public at concert halls in Australia.
28. What is Mark Temple’s purpose in turning DNA data into sound?
A. To aid the process of his experiments. B. To develop his creative ability.
C. To make his drug more powerful. D. To help him fight boredom.
29. What can we learn about Temple’s system?
A. Its effect remains to be seen. B. It has produced satisfying results.
C. It is too complicated to operate. D. It failed to work as expected.
30. Why did Temple try to make the virus sound like real music when sonifying it?
A. To enhance people’s understanding of science.
B. To show his talent in producing music.
C. To get rid of public fear of the virus.
D. To remind people of the role of science in art creation.
31. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Why music can be the best way to present science.
B. How scientists help the public understand science.
C. Why scientists are turning molecules(分子) into music.
D. How music helps scientists conduct their research.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. A 31. C

Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Liu’s imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life — wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away.
But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It’s the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.
In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C. Clarke (1917 — 2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke’s 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.
“My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (充满敬畏的) by the mystery of the universe.”
But no matter how far away Liu’s imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational (理性的). In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Liu’s works aren’t simply daydreams.
32. What do we know about Liu Cixin?
A. He became a full-time writer when he was young.
B. He is the first Asian to win the Arthur Clarke Award.
C. He is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award.
D. He dreamed about wandering in space from childhood.
33. Liu Cixin’s words are used mainly to show ___________.
A. his feeling after reading Clarke’s work B. his love of reading science fiction
C. his interest in mysteries of the universe D. his confusion when he started writing
34. Why did the author mention The Three-Body Problem and The Wandering Earth?
A. To prove that Liu Cixin’s works relate science to reality.
B. To explain how Liu Cixin came up with his ideas.
C. To show that Liu Cixin has a powerful imagination.
D. To compare the different writing styles in the two books.
35. What’s the text mainly about?
A. Liu Cixin’s contributions to science fiction. B. Liu Cixin’s achievements and writing style.
C. How Liu Cixin became a sci-fi writer. D. How Liu Cixin started a new sci-fi style.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. A 35. B

【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“He said that reading Clarke’s 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.(他说,在1980年代早期阅读克拉克1968年的经典小说《2001:太空漫游》对他影响很大。)”和第四段““My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (充满敬畏的) by the mystery of the universe.”(“我的思想前所未有地开阔了。我感觉自己就像一条狭窄的小河,终于看到了大海,”刘慈欣说。“那天晚上,在我眼里,繁星点点的天空与过去完全不同。这是我有生以来第一次对宇宙的神秘感到敬畏。”)”可知,刘慈欣说克拉克的小说对自己产生了巨大的影响,他说他这些话是在描述他阅读后的感受。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段首句“But no matter how far away Liu’s imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational(理性的).(但不管刘慈欣的想象力带他走多远,他的小说总是保持理性。)”可知,刘慈欣的小说虽然富有想象力,但总会保持理性,接着“In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Liu’s works aren’t simply daydreams.(例如,在《三体》中,刘慈欣讲述了外星人入侵地球的故事。但与其他外星故事不同的是,刘慈欣更多地谈论文明之间的关系、生存法则以及生命的意义。在《流浪地球》中,刘慈欣展望了太阳系终结的那一天,人类必须寻找一个新的生活场所。然而,他的所有设想和解决办法都是建立在“硬科学”的基础上的。刘慈欣的作品不仅仅是白日梦。)”讲述了刘慈欣小说《三体》和《流浪地球》的独特立意,并指出他的所有设想和解决办法都是建立在“硬科学”的基础上的,并不仅仅是想象。由此可推测出,作者提到这两部小说是为了证明刘慈欣的作品将科学与现实结合了起来。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中的“Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin.(也许没有人比中国作家刘慈欣更了解想象力的力量。)”、第二段“But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C.

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。
Is there a link between social media and depression? ___36___ It’s complicated.
Sometimes, looking through Instagram just makes you feel bad. You try not to envy your friends, but they always seem to be traveling somewhere cool, eating something fancy, or looking cute in perfect just- rolled- out- of- bed hair. ___37___ Clearly, social media isn’t all bad.
___38___ Things like cyberbullying (网上欺凌), screen addiction, and being exposed to endless filtered images (美颜) that make it impossible not to make comparisons between yourself and others often make the news.

“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man.
“Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Lucy cried silently.
“What is it?” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Lucy. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thank me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were baby. Can you remember the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?”
Lucy sat there speechless and numb with shock; she remembered mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
