Many teenagers spend their free time hanging out with friends or scrolling through social media, but Tiffany Gay, an 18-year-old student at Orlando Science Schools, spent hers developing a device that could potentially help millions of people.
“Growing up, I actually lived with my aunt who had a vision problem, and I watched as her eyesight declined over time. And seeing that made me realize that there was a lack of technologies out there that were able to help those with visual disabilities adapt to their circumstances,” said Gay.
Through years of trial and error, Tiffany developed a wearable device that uses LIDAR, a very common type of sensor, to map an area and then uses vibrations (振动) to warn the wearer when there are obstacles and other things in their path. As they get closer, the vibrations get stronger.
The technology on Tiffany’s visor appeals to more than just the sense of touch. She has the lights to indicate distance. As you get closer, you’ll see the light turn red. As you get moderately far away, you’ll see the light turn blue. And as you get really far away, it should turn green. And the different lights symbolize how intense the vibration may be.
Tiffany has been working on this project for the past three years. “A lot of crazy ideas, but in that time, I was able to create different models. I’ve been able to make it a lot more efficient over these past three years, and I’m also working on raising fund to get my patent.” said Gay.
Her invention now costs around $200, which is quite reasonable for medical assistance devices, but Tiffany wants to make it even more accessible to people. She said, “Decreasing the price is a significant change I want to make. But, what I really want is making it accessible to the countries where we have the highest percentage of people who are visually impaired.”
4. What inspired Tiffany Gay to invent the device?
A. Her aunt’s visual declining.
B. Her parents’ encouragement.
C. Her own interest in invention.
D. Her sympathy for elderly people.
5. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The materials of the device.
B. The limitation of the device.
C. The working principle of the device.
D. The inventing process of the device.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Tiffany Gay?
A. Kind and creative. B. Curious and honest.
C. Brave and generous. D. Determined and loyal.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Application of LIDAR Sensors
B. A Student’s Dream of Starting a Business
C. Tiffany Gay: a Pioneer in Wearable Technology
D. A Teen’s Invention for People with Visual disabilities
C
According to a new international study, “women consistently exhibit higher sensitivity to loud clicking noises.” Though it is believed that growing older can take a toll on your hearing, but more than your age, the study has revealed another biological factor that may influence how your ears respond to sound: your sex.
When the ear is stimulated, researchers found the hairs inside the cochlea (耳蜗) of women were two decibels more sensitive than the cochlear hairs of men. The findings provide convincing evidence that the inner ears of women are more sensitive to sounds than the inner ears of men.
“Age is a well-established factor in the decline of cochlear sensitivity,” write the authors, led by biologist Patricia Balaresque. “However, in our study, the effect of age is overshadowed by sex and environmental factors.” Using a click test called Transient-Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (TEOAE), researchers analyzed the cochlear sensitivity of 448 healthy participants from five countries. In all the analytical models, sex was the main biological factor explaining inter-individual differences in TEOAE results. Age came second.
When the authors turned to non-biological factors, they found where a person lived had a greater impact on their cochlear sensitivity than their age. Those who live in forest environments, for instance, tend to outperform those in urban environments. “Our findings highlight the need to consider both biological and environmental factors when studying hearing,” says Balaresque.
Initial research indicates that as ages age, they lose their hearing twice as fast as females. Scientists still don’t understand why that is. Some have proposed that men are exposed to more damaging noises in their lives, but these new results suggest sex differences in sensitivity cannot simply be explained by age or by environmental exposure.
This field of research remains relatively unexplored. The study is one of the first detailed investigations of what influences the sensitivity of the human inner ear. The sex-based differences the authors identified now need to be explored further. Identifying what drives hearing loss will be essential when it comes to offering hearing aids to diverse populations.
8. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Be of benefit to.
B. Improve the function of.
C. Have a negative effect on.
D. Limit the development of.
9. What can be learned from the result of the TEOAE test?
A. Only biological factors need to be considered.
B. Age is the main reason for individual differences.
C. environments have no influence on cochlear sensitivity.
D. Sex is the key biological factor in inter- individual differences.
10. According to Balaresque, who is likely to have the best hearing?
A. A teenage girl living in a remote village.
B. A retired male professor living in London.
C. An old lady working in a furniture factory.
D. A mid- aged man living downtown in New York.
11. What can be concluded about the research from the last paragraph?
A. It has achieved perfect results.
B. It still needs to be studied further.
C. It fails to find out the influencing factors.
D. It offers hearing aids to diverse populations.
D
Climate change is increasing the risk of wildfires in many regions of the world. This is partly due to specific weather conditions-known as fire weather-that facilitate the spread of wildfires. Researchers from the Helmholtz Centre have found that fire weather seasons are increasingly overlapping (重合) between eastern Australia and western North America.
The west coast of North America and the east coast of Australia have been repeatedly hit hard by wildfires. For example, the January 2025 wildfire disaster in Los Angeles destroyed over 10,000 buildings and claimed 29 lives. The east coast of Australia was hit by one of the country’s most disastrous bush-fires between September 2019 and March 2020: more than 12 million hectares of forest burned. Firefighters from Canada, the US, and Australia have supported each other during these disasters.
The greatest likelihood of overlap — around 75% — occurs between July and December. Overall, the number of overlapping fire days in eastern Australia and western North America has been increasing by one day per year for the past 40 years. “This is because the fire season in eastern Australia is starting earlier in spring and overlapping with the fire season on the west coast of North America,” explains Dr Andreia Ribeiro.
This poses a challenge for cooperation between US, Canadian, and Australian fire services, which have long supported one another during wildfire emergencies. In the past, the fire seasons occurred at different times of the year: on the west coast of North America between June and October and in eastern Australia between October and March. These gaps provided enough time for teams to assist one another when needed. But these increasingly overlapping fire weather seasons in the US and Australia are narrowing the window for international cooperation and making it harder to respond quickly to large-scale wildfires.
The research will contribute to the improvement of international firefighting cooperation and national firefighting capacities. Both Australia and the US will need to strengthen their firefighting capacities in order to reduce reliance on international cooperation.
12. What’s the function of the figures mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To prove the significance of forests.
B. To explain the cause of the wildfires.
C. To show the severity of the wildfires.
D. To encourage the protection of forests.
13. What has led to the increasing overlap of fire weather days in the regions mentioned?
A. The warming temperature around the globe.
B. The extended fire season in western America.
C. The high frequency of disasters in North America.
D. The early arrival of the fire season in eastern Australia.
14. What is the consequence of the increasing overlap of fire seasons according to the passage?
A. It will reduce the damage caused by wildfires.
B. It will make international cooperation challenging.
C. It will pave the way for quick response to wildfires.
D. It will strengthen the support between US and Australia.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward the research?
A. Opposed. B. Favorable.
C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.

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。
Smile: It Is Good For You
Research reveals that showing you’re happy can enhance both physical and mental health. And here is why.
Smiling is a stress reliever. A University of Kansas study found that participants who were asked to smile during stressful tasks had lower heart rates during stress recovery. So it seems even forcing yourself to look happy helps to manage tricky situations.
Smiling may lower blood pressure. The benefits of smile go beyond stress reduction. ____16____ Another research has shown that blood pressure doesn’t rise when people are exposed to humour.
Smiling boosts immunity. A smile releases certain hormones in the brain, including serotonin, which is associated with an improvement in immune function. Depression, meanwhile, can weaken your immune system. ____17____
A smile can reduce your pain. Being amused also prompts the release of endorphins (内啡肽) in the brain. ____18____ In one study, participants who smiled while being injected reported 40 percent less pain.
____19____ It seems smiling really can boost your mood, rather than simply being a response to feeling happy. A 2022 study of 3,878 participants in 19 countries found people’s happiness rating was higher when they smiled.
Of course, smiling endears you to others and helps you to connect with them. ____20____ Give yourself cues to remind you to smile — when you see someone laughing or you’re making a cup of tea — or put a note on your phone as a reminder. Think of something pleasurable, such as a favourite person, place or memory when you smile. You will harvest the rewards of your continuous efforts.
A. Looking happy encourages positivity.
B. Endorphins are the body’s natural painkillers.
C. Those who have the broadest smile live longer.
D. If you practise enough, it’ll become second nature.
E. So, it makes sense to smile more if you want to stay well.
F. It is also likely to have a knock-on effect on blood pressure.
G. It not only releases endorphins but also boosts your immune system.

Benefiting from first aid skills learned in school Jiang ____26____ without hesitation. He laid his classmate ____27____ and began performing CPR. Meanwhile, the driver, Wang Tao sped to the hospital, running six red lights and arriving in just seven minutes — half the ____28____ time.
“The first four minutes of CPR in the car were absolutely vital,” ____29____ the doctor. Only after ____30____ his classmate was under professional care did Jiang report the emergency to school officials. He rushed to the exam then, but ____31____ to take the 9 a.m. Chinese language test.
Jiang said he has no ____32____ about his decision, “Exams can be retaken, but a life cannot.”
The story quickly went viral online and drew widespread ____33____ from netizens. Due to joint efforts, Jiang received a ____34____ exam with a backup test paper.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was teaching in a college in Manitoba and always drove to school. However, one winter morning, the principal announced, “The city is taking up our school’s parking lot to build a public library. From tomorrow, the lot won’t be available.” What a shock!
The next morning, I arrived early to find a suitable parking spot. I finally found a street with only a few cars parked alongside. I just parked my car and the curtains of the nearest house were pulled open. An elderly man looked out of the window. When I left the car, he still didn’t move; I felt that he was watching me.
At the end of the day, he was again at the window. It made me uneasy, but not enough to move the car elsewhere; the parking spot was too convenient. In the following days, I felt he continued watching my arriving and leaving. Although it made me uneasy, I tried not to give the situation too much thought.
The next afternoon, the man didn’t appear at the window. Then, just as I was warming up the car, he turned the corner, limping (跛行) along, with a walking stick and groceries. I smiled and waved; he just nodded solemnly (严肃地). His response discouraged me. I felt he was definitely not an easy-going person.
The following Monday, when I was in a hurry to the college after parking the car, I suddenly realized I had left my wallet in my car. I could do nothing without it, so I had no choice but to return to get it. When approaching my car, I was surprised to see the elderly man was standing by my car and looking into the car through the window.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Thinking of his odd behavior, I had a bad feeling.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Realizing my car window was left open, I was embarrassed.

Many teenagers spend their free time hanging out with friends or scrolling through social media, but Tiffany Gay, an 18-year-old student at Orlando Science Schools, spent hers developing a device that could potentially help millions of people.
“Growing up, I actually lived with my aunt who had a vision problem, and I watched as her eyesight declined over time. And seeing that made me realize that there was a lack of technologies out there that were able to help those with visual disabilities adapt to their circumstances,” said Gay.
Through years of trial and error, Tiffany developed a wearable device that uses LIDAR, a very common type of sensor, to map an area and then uses vibrations (振动) to warn the wearer when there are obstacles and other things in their path. As they get closer, the vibrations get stronger.
The technology on Tiffany’s visor appeals to more than just the sense of touch. She has the lights to indicate distance. As you get closer, you’ll see the light turn red. As you get moderately far away, you’ll see the light turn blue. And as you get really far away, it should turn green. And the different lights symbolize how intense the vibration may be.
Tiffany has been working on this project for the past three years. “A lot of crazy ideas, but in that time, I was able to create different models. I’ve been able to make it a lot more efficient over these past three years, and I’m also working on raising fund to get my patent.” said Gay.
Her invention now costs around $200, which is quite reasonable for medical assistance devices, but Tiffany wants to make it even more accessible to people. She said, “Decreasing the price is a significant change I want to make. But, what I really want is making it accessible to the countries where we have the highest percentage of people who are visually impaired.”
4. What inspired Tiffany Gay to invent the device?
A. Her aunt’s visual declining.
B. Her parents’ encouragement.
C. Her own interest in invention.
D. Her sympathy for elderly people.
5. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The materials of the device.
B. The limitation of the device.
C The working principle of the device.
D. The inventing process of the device.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Tiffany Gay?
A. Kind and creative. B. Curious and honest.
C. Brave and generous. D. Determined and loyal.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Application of LIDAR Sensors

According to a new international study, “women consistently exhibit higher sensitivity to loud clicking noises.” Though it is believed that growing older can take a toll on your hearing, but more than your age, the study has revealed another biological factor that may influence how your ears respond to sound: your sex.
When the ear is stimulated, researchers found the hairs inside the cochlea (耳蜗) of women were two decibels more sensitive than the cochlear hairs of men. The findings provide convincing evidence that the inner ears of women are more sensitive to sounds than the inner ears of men.
“Age is a well-established factor in the decline of cochlear sensitivity,” write the authors, led by biologist Patricia Balaresque. “However, in our study, the effect of age is overshadowed by sex and environmental factors.” Using a click test called Transient-Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (TEOAE), researchers analyzed the cochlear sensitivity of 448 healthy participants from five countries. In all the analytical models, sex was the main biological factor explaining inter-individual differences in TEOAE results. Age came second.
When the authors turned to non-biological factors, they found where a person lived had a greater impact on their cochlear sensitivity than their age. Those who live in forest environments, for instance, tend to outperform those in urban environments. “Our findings highlight the need to consider both biological and environmental factors when studying hearing,” says Balaresque.
Initial research indicates that as ages age, they lose their hearing twice as fast as females. Scientists still don’t understand why that is. Some have proposed that men are exposed to more damaging noises in their lives, but these new results suggest sex differences in sensitivity cannot simply be explained by age or by environmental exposure.
This field of research remains relatively unexplored. The study is one of the first detailed investigations of what influences the sensitivity of the human inner ear. The sex-based differences the authors identified now need to be explored further. Identifying what drives hearing loss will be essential when it comes to offering hearing aids to diverse populations.
8. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Be of benefit to.
B. Improve the function of.
C. Have a negative effect on.
D. Limit the development of.
9. What can be learned from the result of the TEOAE test?
A. Only biological factors need to be considered.
B. Age is the main reason for individual differences.
C. environments have no influence on cochlear sensitivity.
D. Sex is the key biological factor in inter- individual differences.
10. According to Balaresque, who is likely to have the best hearing?
A. A teenage girl living in a remote village.
B. A retired male professor living in London.
C. An old lady working in a furniture factory.
D. A mid- aged man living downtown in New York.
11. What can be concluded about the research from the last paragraph?
A. It has achieved perfect results.
B. It still needs to be studied further.
C. It fails to find out the influencing factors.
D. It offers hearing aids to diverse populations.

Climate change is increasing the risk of wildfires in many regions of the world. This is partly due to specific weather conditions-known as fire weather-that facilitate the spread of wildfires. Researchers from the Helmholtz Centre have found that fire weather seasons are increasingly overlapping (重合) between eastern Australia and western North America.
The west coast of North America and the east coast of Australia have been repeatedly hit hard by wildfires. For example, the January 2025 wildfire disaster in Los Angeles destroyed over 10,000 buildings and claimed 29 lives. The east coast of Australia was hit by one of the country’s most disastrous bush-fires between September 2019 and March 2020: more than 12 million hectares of forest burned. Firefighters from Canada, the US, and Australia have supported each other during these disasters.
The greatest likelihood of overlap — around 75% — occurs between July and December. Overall, the number of overlapping fire days in eastern Australia and western North America has been increasing by one day per year for the past 40 years. “This is because the fire season in eastern Australia is starting earlier in spring and overlapping with the fire season on the west coast of North America,” explains Dr Andreia Ribeiro.
This poses a challenge for cooperation between US, Canadian, and Australian fire services, which have long supported one another during wildfire emergencies. In the past, the fire seasons occurred at different times of the year: on the west coast of North America between June and October and in eastern Australia between October and March. These gaps provided enough time for teams to assist one another when needed. But these increasingly overlapping fire weather seasons in the US and Australia are narrowing the window for international cooperation and making it harder to respond quickly to large-scale wildfires.
The research will contribute to the improvement of international firefighting cooperation and national firefighting capacities. Both Australia and the US will need to strengthen their firefighting capacities in order to reduce reliance on international cooperation.
12. What’s the function of the figures mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To prove the significance of forests.
B. To explain the cause of the wildfires.
C. To show the severity of the wildfires.
D. To encourage the protection of forests.
13. What has led to the increasing overlap of fire weather days in the regions mentioned?
A. The warming temperature around the globe.
B. The extended fire season in western America.
C. The high frequency of disasters in North America.
D. The early arrival of the fire season in eastern Australia.
14. What is the consequence of the increasing overlap of fire seasons according to the passage?
A. It will reduce the damage caused by wildfires.
B. It will make international cooperation challenging.
C. It will pave the way for quick response to wildfires.
D. It will strengthen the support between US and Australia.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward the research?
A. Opposed. B. Favorable.
C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“For example, the January 2025 wildfire disaster in Los Angeles destroyed over 10,000 buildings and claimed 29 lives. The east coast of Australia was hit by one of the country’s most disastrous bush-fires between September 2019 and March 2020: more than 12 million hectares of forest burned.(例如,2025年1月,洛杉矶的野火灾害摧毁了1万多栋建筑,造成29人死亡。2019年9月至2020年3月,澳大利亚东海岸遭受了该国最严重的森林大火之一:超过1200万公顷的森林被烧毁)”可知,第二段中提到的数字是为了展示野火的严重性。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“This is because the fire season in eastern Australia is starting earlier in spring and overlapping with the fire season on the west coast of North America(这是因为澳大利亚东部的火灾季节在春季开始得更早,与北美西海岸的火灾季节重叠)”可知,澳大利亚东部火灾季提前到来导致了上述地区火灾季重叠现象加剧。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“This poses a challenge for cooperation between US, Canadian, and Australian fire services(这给美国、加拿大和澳大利亚消防部门之间的合作带来了挑战)”及“But these increasingly overlapping fire weather seasons in the US and Australia are narrowing the window for international cooperation and making it harder to respond quickly to large-scale wildfires.(但美国和澳大利亚日益重叠的火灾天气季节正在缩小国际合作的窗口,使快速应对大规模野火变得更加困难)”可知,火灾季节重叠增加的后果是它将使国际合作具有挑战性。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The research will contribute to the improvement of international firefighting cooperation and national firefighting capacities.(这项研究将有助于改善国际消防合作和国家消防能力)”可推知,作者对这项研究持支持态度。故选B。

Smile: It Is Good For You
Research reveals that showing you’re happy can enhance both physical and mental health. And here is why.
Smiling is a stress reliever. A University of Kansas study found that participants who were asked to smile during stressful tasks had lower heart rates during stress recovery. So it seems even forcing yourself to look happy helps to manage tricky situations.
Smiling may lower blood pressure. The benefits of smile go beyond stress reduction. ____16____ Another research has shown that blood pressure doesn’t rise when people are exposed to humour.
Smiling boosts immunity. A smile releases certain hormones in the brain, including serotonin, which is associated with an improvement in immune function. Depression, meanwhile, can weaken your immune system. ____17____
A smile can reduce your pain. Being amused also prompts the release of endorphins (内啡肽) in the brain. ____18____ In one study, participants who smiled while being injected reported 40 percent less pain.
____19____ It seems smiling really can boost your mood, rather than simply being a response to feeling happy. A 2022 study of 3,878 participants in 19 countries found people’s happiness rating was higher when they smiled.
Of course, smiling endears you to others and helps you to connect with them. ____20____ Give yourself cues to remind you to smile — when you see someone laughing or you’re making a cup of tea — or put a note on your phone as a reminder. Think of something pleasurable, such as a favourite person, place or memory when you smile. You will harvest the rewards of your continuous efforts.
A. Looking happy encourages positivity.
B. Endorphins are the body’s natural painkillers.
C. Those who have the broadest smile live longer.
D. If you practise enough, it’ll become second nature.
E. So, it makes sense to smile more if you want to stay well.
F. It is also likely to have a knock-on effect on blood pressure.
G. It not only releases endorphins but also boosts your immune system.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was teaching in a college in Manitoba and always drove to school. However, one winter morning, the principal announced, “The city is taking up our school’s parking lot to build a public library. From tomorrow, the lot won’t be available.” What a shock!
The next morning, I arrived early to find a suitable parking spot. I finally found a street with only a few cars parked alongside. I just parked my car and the curtains of the nearest house were pulled open. An elderly man looked out of the window. When I left the car, he still didn’t move; I felt that he was watching me.
At the end of the day, he was again at the window. It made me uneasy, but not enough to move the car elsewhere; the parking spot was too convenient. In the following days, I felt he continued watching my arriving and leaving. Although it made me uneasy, I tried not to give the situation too much thought.
The next afternoon, the man didn’t appear at the window. Then, just as I was warming up the car, he turned the corner, limping (跛行) along, with a walking stick and groceries. I smiled and waved; he just nodded solemnly (严肃地). His response discouraged me. I felt he was definitely not an easy-going person.
The following Monday, when I was in a hurry to the college after parking the car, I suddenly realized I had left my wallet in my car. I could do nothing without it, so I had no choice but to return to get it. When approaching my car, I was surprised to see the elderly man was standing by my car and looking into the car through the window.

Paragraph 1:
Thinking of his odd behavior, I had a bad feeling.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Realizing my car window was left open, I was embarrassed.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Thinking of his odd behavior, I had a bad feeling. Without the slightest hesitation, I quickened my pace and yelled, “What on earth are you up to?” Hearing my shouts, the elderly man froze. He stammered, “I… I spotted your window…” Anger surging through me, I cut him short, “Save the lies. You’ve been watching me for a week, waiting to steal from my car, haven’t you?” Seeming extremely hurt, the old man stood there, unable to speak, just pointing weakly at my car window.
Paragraph 2:
Realizing my car window was left open, I was embarrassed. I finally understood he was just trying to protect my wallet. I apologized sincerely, my voice trembling. He smiled gently and said, “It’s very common for you youngsters to be so careless, so I often look out of my window, hoping to remind you.” I’m so grateful to have experienced such a heart-warming moment in winter. From then on, we often greeted each other warmly through his window. Our relationship blossomed from a misunderstanding into a heartwarming friendship.
