Many teens get inspired from playing musical instruments to doing gymnastics.All it takes to transform your favorite activities into a science project is identifying a problem you want to solve. Elizabeth,14,who is in the 7th grade at Davis Drive Middle School in Cary,N.C, designed a program.Her method is based on the golden ratio ()This ratio is often used to create pleasing parts in artworks.The ratio also appears in nature.Elizabeth's data storage strategy helps computers write data evenly (across memory devices.This could help such devices last longer. "As long as I can remember,I've been an artistic person,"Elizabeth says,"In the fourth grade,my art teacher taught us about the golden ratio.And at that point it was just, you know,something to use when we were painting."But last year,Elizabeth had to replace the memory in her own computer,thinking the golden ratio might work in tech, too.Elizabeth tested her golden-ration technique by running programs on a computer. But before this project,Elizabeth had no coding experience.To prepare,she spent months reading a textbook on how to code.She says,"It wasn't like an'ah-ha'moment. Writing algorithms()is such a boring process.But it was just cool to explore and see the computer actually just doing stuff that I told it to do after those hours." "Don't limit yourself,"Elizabeth adds,"One of the biggest challenges you face is changing your mindset.I never thought that science or computer science would be my kind of thing,but after learning a bit about programming,I found that it was actually a new way to express myself.Words,painting,now programming." 24.What can we learn about science projects according to this passage?

D.They will inspire teens to find solutions 25.What is Elizabeth's programming used for? A.Creating fine works. B.Protecting nature. C.Strengthening memories.

Several studies in recent years have suggested that ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft can worsen traffic problems in cities.The new study represents an attempt to center on how ride-sharing services affect pollution. Overall,the researchers reported that ride-sharing trips now"esut ina69percent more climate pollution on average than the trips they replace."The study notes that the same passengers could have chosen to travel by bus,train,bike or on foot. One of the big reasons they give for this result is that ride-sharing vehicles are ofte driven with no passengers in the car.This happens when drivers are either waiting for rider requests,are n the way to pick up passengers.This situation,known as"deadheading,"takes up about 42 percent of all ride-sharing driving activity,the study found.The researchers said that deadheading resultiabout50percentmoreabodioxide thaneperso driving ina private vehicle. Both Uber and Lyft have said in the past that most studies on the subject overstate ( the effects of their services on pollution.Uber told Reuters news agency in a statement it had no comment on the latest report and that the study made misleading claims about ride-sharing. Meanwhile,the company said it would work directly with cities to address climate changes, promoting sharing trips and other means of transportation. 28.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

When many students finish studying,they often go straight to another activity. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer.They might even play a video game or watch television.But research suggests that resting after your study may help you remember what you have studied. The basic idea is this:by stopping your activity after the study,your brain gets a chance to rest.Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games. While this might sound unusual to you,many studies have explored the benefits of resting after learning-what is called "wakeful rest". A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember information they learned after doing wakeful rest. If you want to give "wakeful rest"a try,here are a few simple things to do.Rest quietly for five to ten minutes.Do not look at your phone,read stories or play games.It is really that easy! Besides wakeful rest,sleep is also important for learning.The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School (HMS)notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways.A report on the school's website explains that "a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention well and therefore cannot learn well."It also says,"Sleep itself helps us to memorize and that memorizing is very important for learning new information." The National Sleep Foundation (NSF)suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get about between 6 and 7 hours of sleep per day.Teenagers may need a little bit more,and people over the age of 65 may need a little less. Try to get some "wakeful-rest"after a study.Then try to get a good night's sleep. That's it-a simple,no-cost way to help you remember what you learn. 32.According to the research,shortly after studying students are recommended A.To take a wakeful rest. B.To play a video game. C.To have a nice sleep at night.D.To read a newspaper. 33.What's paragraph 3 mainly about? A.The importance of sleep.B.The types of resting activities. 为 C.The good ways to get a rest. D.The reason for having a rest. 6n 34.How long should teenagers sleep each day according to NSF? n无70y060. A.Less than 6 hours. B.No more than 7 hours. C.Around 8 hours. D.Just 7 hours 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? 行两火)进。成孩 A.Low-cost Tips on Working. 止：小母1品头) B.Good Things to Do After Your Study. ,A人“ C.Why Do We Need to Have a Good Sleep? D.How Long Should We Rest After Learning? 中考试英语第3页共5页 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 Whether you are a professional or an amateur,basketball is the best sport for you.36 Here are some of the benefits you can acquire from playing basketball.
