B Parkinson’s disease (帕金森病) often causes “freezing”, which means a person suddenly cannot move their feet forward, leading to a high risk of falls. Amey Desai, a 30-year-old electrical engineer, was inspired to create a device to help people with walking difficulties after his grandfather suffered from Parkinson’s disease. His studies in engineering helped him to develop a special wearable device called “WALK”. Developing WALK took several years until he worked closely with Dr. Samit Chakrabarty, whose research is related to movement control through signals created by the muscles. This experience proved to be a turning point. After their first model was built, he worked with many medical experts and doctors to test it. They followed strict medical safety standards and got the necessary papers. To their excitement, the result at a major hospital showed that using WALK reduced freezing by nearly half during tests. WALK is a small wearable device which can be tied to the lower legs. It uses sensors (传感器) to monitor walking patterns. When it senses signs of freezing, it produces gentle vibrations (振动) and mild electrical shock. These act as signs to help the wearer start moving again. The device also comes with a smartphone app that lets users track their progress and do guided exercises. Doctors can also check patient data through it. The device has already helped nearly 300 families across Amey Desai’s home country. Users report feeling more confident and independent. One user’s son shared that his mother said it felt like “life had returned to her legs”. Another user, a 70-year-old man, said it helped him walk better and even return to playing golf. The device has benefited many people at the price of Rs 50,000 in his country. “We really hope to diminish it in the coming months,” Amey shares. Looking forward, Amey aims to make WALK more affordable and accessible to patients worldwide. 4. Why did Amey develop WALK? A. To apply his studies to practice. B. To meet the demands of the seniors. C. To become a famous medical expert. D. To help people with walking problems. 5. What’s the function of the smartphone app? A. Monitoring walking patterns. B. Tracking users’ daily exercise. C. Providing gentle vibrations and shock. D. Sharing patient information with doctors. 6. What do the users’ comments suggest? A. The users could run on their own. B. The device cures the users’ diseases. C. The device works well for the users. D. The users gained strength to play sports. 7. What does the underlined word “diminish” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Decrease. B. Design. C. Change. D. Quit. C About 8.8 million of the world’s people are called scientists. This means only a small number of people know a scientist in person. Two physicists, Alan Lightman and Martin Rees, wrote a new book called The Shape of Wonder and their goal is to help the public understand scientists better. They say scientists are just like everyone else. As individuals, they can be influenced by feelings. But scientists find new things in different ways: some discoveries happen by accident while others come from small studies. However, all scientists share what the authors call a “prepared mind” — something they get from years of studying, which helps them notice important findings. In the book, Lightman and Rees show readers how scientists think and work. Scientists look at the world around them, use critical thinking and create and test ideas about how the universe works. This simple process has led to many important improvements in society, like more food being produced, people living longer and new ways to treat diseases. The most interesting parts are the stories about different scientists. Unlike the common image in pop culture — strange and awkward — scientists are made up of different people. Readers meet modern scientists, such as Lace Riggs, a 30-something American neuroscientist from a wealthy family. The book also highlights past scientists, like Barbara McClintock. She was an American biologist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for finding “jumping genes”. In the end, Alan Lightman and Martin Rees argue that scientists should help the public. Today, we live in a “post-truth” world where people often rely on their feelings, which makes it hard to solve big problems. Scientists’ knowledge can help us deal with important issues, like those related to artificial intelligence. The authors believe that if people connect with the human side of scientists, they will start seeing them as members of society. 8. What problem do Alan Lightman and Martin Rees aim to solve? A. The number of scientists is dropping. B. The public are unfamiliar with scientists. C. Scientists tend to be influenced by feelings. D. Scientific discoveries are often hard to make. 9. Why are “Lace Riggs” and “Barbara McClintock” mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To show science is a complex subject. B. To prove scientists are a diverse group. C. To explain how scientists work and think. D. To stress scientists are strange and awkward. 10. What did Alan Lightman and Martin Rees tell in the end? A. Their opinions on scientists’ roles. B. Their tips about solving scientific problems. C. Their methods of connecting with scientists. D. Their feelings about scientific development. 11. What’s the text mainly about? A. Two scientists’ stories. B. A new scientific finding. C. A book for knowing scientists. D. Approaches to being scientists. D At 89, Anne and Dudley O’ Sullivan made the decision to downsize. Choosing from thousands of books to keep seemed to be their biggest challenge. As Australia’s population ages, the “downsizing puzzle” troubles countless seniors. Unlike those forced to move due to health conditions, the Sydney couple decided to shift to independent living before conditions robbed them of choice. “Our old house was too sizeable; we no longer hosted big gatherings, so it was time to move,” Dudley explained. Letting go of familiar items for the senior is emotional. Besides, the determination is easy to shake because of the troublesome process. However, it is rewarding because life can become simpler and more joyful. For Anne and Dudley O’ Sullivan, the new small apartment is easy to clean, with no trouble in tidying up. They have more time to participate in community activities: yoga, walking groups, pool exercises, and Friday happy hours. For Dudley, who struggles with balance and vision, the onsite pool is a daily choice, while Anne values the safety of her daily walks. As a matter of fact, helping those to downsize ease their transition (过渡) was the key. The couple’s granddaughter Emma O’ Sullivan is a professional organizer who has made a career of helping older Australians downsize and settle into retirement communities like St Busil’s. Emma now runs her business, Mum’s PA, which helps families through the process, managing everything from organizing cleaners to setting up the new home. Through her experience, she offered key tips: start five years early, clear gradually, donate items generously, set family collection deadlines and seek professional help. Simony Eleftheriades, a village manager, made a comment, “Early preparation helps ease the stress of downsizing. Downsizing isn’t losing independence but gaining peace of mind.” For Anne and Dudley, that peace of mind is the greatest reward. The couple offered the advice to the seniors who want to downsize: stay in a familiar place, which is a big comfort. 12. What did Anne and Dudley think of their old house? A. They regretted buying it. B. They hated the large space. C. They were eager to leave it quickly. D. They felt it no longer suitable for them. 13. What aspect of downsizing does the second paragraph focus on? A. The advantages of downsizing. B. The factors that lead to downsizing. C. The troublesome process of downsizing. D. The difficulty of living out downsizing. 14. What role does Emma O’ Sullivan play in downsizing? A. She offers free professional help. B. She manages everything in person. C. She reduces the stress of downsizing. D. She sets up new houses independently. 15. How does Simony Eleftheriades feel about downsizing? A. Curious. B. Positive. C. Strange. D. Concerned. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Mastering new knowledge can take a lot of time and effort, but what do you do if you need to learn something quickly?
