Her mother， Divya Gupta had a suggestion： write an app. She was half-kidding， but Medha took the challenge seriously. So she went to work. The result was Safe Travel， an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel more secure when travelling alone. Using the iPhone， a person can programme it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she fails to arrive at a destination within a certain time. It was the first IOS app that Medha had created. While she didn’t think much would come from the project， her effort caught the eye of judges for the annual Congressional App Challenge， who selected her as the winner for Virginia’s 10th District. The App Challenge is designed to encourage students to consider careers in science， technology， engineering， and maths by experimenting with coding （编码） and computer science. Winning students are invited to attend a reception on Capitol Hill in April and also receive $250 in Amazon Web Service credits. Medha said it took her about 40 hours to design， programme and test the app. As for her next app， Medha’s not certain. She temporarily （暂时） has her app-development tasks on hold because she’s busy teaching herself AI to help deal with wrong words on Facebook. Yes， she knows that there are teams of engineers possibly doing the same thing. But she figures it can’t hurt her own part， too. “If we see something wrong with the world， we should do something about it，” she said. “After all， the only one stopping us from doing something is ourselves.” 1.What did Medha Gupta’s mother advise her to do？（　　） A.Develop an app. B.Take a bus. C.Travel with others. D.Walk to school. 2.What does the underlined word “secure” in paragraph 2 probably mean？（　　） A.Fascinating. B.Safe. C.Trusty. D.Cheerful. 3.How are the students encouraged by the App Challenge to consider their careers？（　　） A.By receiving praise for their achievements. B.By meeting famous scientists and professors. C.By experimenting with coding and computer science. D.By attending lectures about science and technology. 4.What message does Medha seem to express in the last paragraph？（　　） A.Never too old to learn. B.Practice makes perfect. C.Always be creative in life. D.AI leads to a better future. B 　　（2025·河南许昌高一下期中）Once upon a time， researchers dreamed of building a robot storyteller. It would not only entertain young children， but also help them learn well. This dream has come true. The robot is called Tega. It is cute and appears to be useful in increasing young children’s language skills. Developed by a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT）， Tega sounds like a child， makes its body and face full of energy while storytelling and explains the stories on a screen with pictures. In an eight-week experiment， Tega read picture books to 67 children aged from 4 to 6 in weekly meetings lasting an hour. During the meetings， Tega asked questions to get knowledge of the listeners’ language skills， tested them on a word’s meaning or asked them to draw conclusions about a character. For example， Tega asked， “What do you think will happen to the boy？” Tega also recorded the facial expressions and body positions of the children to see how interested they were. One group of kids played with a personalized version （版本） of the robot， which improved each time it interacted with the kids， learning about their language skills from the conversations they had. For this group， Tega chose which book to read based on what it thought would be most suitable and informative for the children’s language level. Every second time， Tega would replace several words in the story for these children with more difficult words with similar meanings. A second group interacted with a non-personalized Tega that remembered the children each week， but chose stories to read at random （随机的） from its library of 81 picture books. For this group， the story difficulty increased every two weeks. A third group of kids didn’t interact with Tega at all. Several weeks after the last meeting， the team found that all the children who played with Tega had increased their vocabularies， but the personalized group learned the most words. Their error rate on a vocabulary test dropped by 23 per cent， almost double that of the non-personalized group. 5.What do we know about Tega？（　　） A.It has a voice of an adult. B.It is connected to the Internet. C.It can tell stories in a lively way. D.It is mainly designed to entertain kids. 6.Why did Tega ask questions during the meetings？（　　） A.To keep the kids interested. B.To help kids better understand a story. C.To know about the kids’ language skills. D.To encourage the kids to think independently. 7.What do the results of the experiment show？（　　） A.Young kids really love interacting with others. B.The robot needs to be improved to work better. C.Children can increase their vocabularies quickly. D.The personalized version of the robot helps kids most. 8.Which of the following can be the best title for the text？（　　） A.A New Storytelling Invention for Kids B.A Personalized Method for Teaching C.A Study to Research Storytelling Robots D.A New Way to Increase Kids’ Vocabularies Ⅱ.阅读七选五 　　（2025·辽宁实验中学检测）The digital age has made it almost impossible to track children’s screen time. 9.（　　） Luckily， we’ve prepared several useful tips that will empower parents to keep their kids engaged in activities outside the screen. 　　10.（　　） 　　Clear and consistent rules about screen time are necessary for the management of digital habits in children. Set limits on daily or weekly screen time and openly express these limits to your kids.

Get children involved in a team sport or outdoor class such as swimming or soccer to help them enjoy these experiences even more and develop social skills. Promote educational screen time 12.（　　） Focus on the educational content， which will make a huge difference in children’s intelligence as well as their skills. So let them have access to age-appropriate educational apps and online coursed， making learning fun and attractive. Create screen-free bones and times Restrict the amount of screen time your children experience by having areas and times where no screen exists. Have zones such as the dinner table or the bedrooms where devices are not allowed. 13.（　　） A.Build confidence by example. B.Establish specific screen time rules. C.Develop children’s intelligence and skills offline. D.This will definitely give them face-to-face interactions and good sleep.
