B Fourteen-year-old Sirish Subash from Georgia has won the 3M Young Scientist Challenge for inventing an AI-based hand-held pesticide()detector that is very accurate in detecting pesticide residue().The ninth-grader at the Gwinnett School of Mathematics,Science, and Technology in Snellville has received the title "America's Top Young Scientist", according to a press. In its 17th year,the challenge supports middle school students to think creatively and apply STEM principals to discover real-world solutions.Sirish spent four months competing against nine other finalists and secured his win at the final challenge events at 3M's global headquarters in St.Paul,Minnesota that were held in October last year.The finalists had to go through a series of interactive challenges and were evaluated on their innovation,application of STEM,as well as their ability to inspire others. "The Young Scientist Challenge finalists have demonstrated an incredible ability to develop innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges,"said Torie Clarke, EVP and chief public affairs officer at 3M."I am beyond impressed and inspired by their intelligence and their scientific minds." Sirish's journey to winning the award came from watching his mother washing vegetables and fruits and telling him to always do so.Since 70 percent of produce in the US has pesticide residues that are linked to illnesses like cancer,it's very important to know if the fruits and vegetables are safe to eat.That's what PestiSCAND was designed to do. The device works by shining light on the surface of the produce and measuring the wavelengths that bounce back.PestiSCAND uses a sensor and AI-based processor to achieve an accuracy of over 85 percent.Sirish tested the device on more than 12,000 food samples including strawberries,apples and tomatoes. Sirish aims to make this technology widely accessible so that consumers will be able to make safe food choices. 24.What can we know about Sirish from paragraph 2? A.He won the award effortlessly. B.He copied other finalists'ideas. C.He centered on challenging others. D.He stood out in certain areas. 25.How did Torie Clarke find the finalists? A.They were creative. B.They were odd. C.They were patient. D.They were easygoing. 26.Why was PestiSCAND designed? A.To help wash vegetables and fruits. B.To detect some illnesses. C.To measure the safety of produce. D.To scare pests away. 27.What is the best title for the text? A.Pesticide Detection:Most Scientists'Dream B.A 14-year-old Wins Young Scientist Award C.3M Challenge:A Search for Top Innovators D.An Invention Frees People from Illnesses C Construction workers recently found the ruins of a large pyramid beside a highway in Mexico.After discovering the site,researchers collected many ancient objects that would be studied in their laboratories over the coming months.The structure was found last year during highway expansion work in Hidalgo,central Mexico.The discovery happened accidentally as workers were adding a third lane to the federal highway,showing how ancient structures can still be found during modern construction projects. Scientists from Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History went to study the site.They used drones to take pictures and collected 155 items,including pieces of pottery,stone tools and shells.To safeguard the old building,they built a large wall around the pyramid,which is 43 meters long and 11.7 meters high. The pyramid is part of an old settlement called San Miguel,built between 650-1519 CE. The area was ruled by the "Metzca lordship",which influenced the region until the 1500s. People lived in this region for a very long time,with the oldest settlements dating back at least 14,000 years.This shows that many different groups of people lived here over thousands of years. Scientists keep finding ancient buildings in Mexico and other parts of the Americas.Many discoveries are made using LiDAR,a technology that uses laser light to see things hidden under plants and trees.This tool helps archaeologists(考古学家)find old structures that they couldn't see just by looking at the ground.Last year,researchers used LiDAR to find an 18-kilometer road that connected ancient Maya cities over 1,200 years ago.In Guatemala, they also discovered a previously unknown Maya civilization with 964 settlements connected by 177 kilometers of ancient roads. These findings show that the Americas had complex and thriving()societies long before European settlers arrived.The discoveries are a solid reminder of how advanced these ancient civilizations were,though their development was later interrupted by colonization(). Each new discovery helps build a more complete picture of these remarkable ancient societies. 28.How was the pyramid in Hidalgo discovered? A.By using LiDAR technology. B.During an archaeological research. C.By chance during a highway construction. D.Through the study of historical documents. 29.What does the discovery of San Miguel site show? A.The settlement lasted briefly. B.Different cultures ever existed. C.One group controlled everything D.Ancient structures were appealing 30.What can be known about LiDAR technology? A.It preserves ancient buildings. B.It connects different sites. C.It is mainly used to find stone tools. D.It helps uncover hidden structures. 31.What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A.The new discoveries redefine precolonial histories. B.Colonization promoted the ancient civilization growth. C.Ancient American societies were highly underdeveloped. D.European settlers paid high attention to ancient civilizations. D What's the secret to a thriving garden?Sunlight and water,of course.And,it turns out that another surprising helper can help grow healthy plants:music!According to a study published in Frontiers in Plant Science,music has the power to help plants grow,and even the type of music can have a different effect on plants. Plants don't hear sound like humans do,but they can feel movements from sound and respond positively to certain type of music,according to a study published in Nature.The sound movements from music copy natural stimuli()like wind or water.The study showed that plants exposed to music grow faster,with taller stems and healthier leaves.King Charles talks to his plants to foster their growth,reported the Independent. "Gardening expert"Chris Beardshaw told The Scotsman that he believed playing heavy metal music boosted plant growth,producing shorter plants with larger,more disease-resistant flowers. Beardshaw did a greenhouse test comparing music types.He found that classical music slightly helped growth,while rock and roll singer Cliff Richard's music probably led to plants dying.The loud,rhythmic energy of heavy metal proved most effective for blooms(), suggesting an unexpected link between head banging music and plant health. Overall,findings seem to show that plants do better with more rhythmic types,especially classical and heavy metal.According to the garden company Moana Nursery,classical music seems to work well to keep plant pores(f)open longer.Heavy metal appears to help even more growth.You can even find song lists on Spotify made just for your plants! However,understanding what music plants like best can be hard.It depends on things like plant types,music styles and growing conditions.Some people say more testing needs to be done to prove music helps plants grow.The better plant growth seen in these studies might also come from better plant care.Whether or not plants truly like music,adding songs to your gardening can't hurt.Play Mozart-or Metallica-and see if your plants grow better! 32.What do we learn from the study in Frontiers in Plant Science? A.Plants were unable to grow without music. B.The type of music decides on plant growth. C.Music has the ability to assist plant growth. D.Plants can hear sounds exactly like humans. 33.What does the underlined word "foster"in paragraph 2 mean? A.Encourage. B.Weaken. C.Limit. D.Predict. 34.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.Reasons for plants'preference for music. B.The advantages of playing different music. C.Ways to help plants grow more naturally. D.The impact of music types on plant growth. 35.What is the author's attitude towards playing music for plants? A.Doubtful. B.Favorable. C.Opposed. D.Unconcerned. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In addition to healthy eating and being more active,the following lifestyle choices can have an enormous impact on longevity and quality of life.
