一、完形填空

A hundred years ago, a group of scientists built a model that      1      changed the old way people understood reality: quantum mechanics (量子力学). To celebrate the 100th anniversary of its birth, the United Nations named 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology.

Quantum mechanics studies very      2      things, like atoms and even smaller particles (粒子). Around 1900 scientists such as Max Planck and Albert Einstein started to describe why the atomic (原子的) world could not be explained by the classical theories developed by Isaac Newton and others two centuries earlier. In the 1920s, more scientists including Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrodinger bravely      3      from classical physics and developed quantum mechanics further, opening the door to future progress and useful inventions that continue to      4      our modern life. As Nature noted: “Modern physics is quantum physics.”

In quantum mechanics, many counter-intuitive phenomena happen. For example, an atom can be in two places at the same time, and a cat in a box can be both alive and dead. In another      5      called “spooky action at a distance”, when two particles become entangled (纠缠的), the state of one instantly influences the state of the other,      6      far apart they are. It’s like having a pair of magical dice (骰子) that always show the same numbers, even from opposite sides of the galaxy (星系).

These      7      may sound hard to imagine or even strange, but they are the reason we have modern technology today. The GPS that finds your location, the bright LEDs in your phone screen and MRI machines that make medical images all come from quantum principles. Most importantly, the design of the silicon chip (硅芯片)      8      every computer and smartphone depends on our understanding of how electrons behave in semiconductors (半导体) a quantum effect.

As we celebrate its 100th birthday, quantum science is advancing faster than ever. Scientists are building quantum computers that could solve problems too hard for today’s supercomputers and      9      quantum encryption (加密技术) to make unbreakable communication networks. Quantum physics has taught us that the universe is full of surprises and that its      10      are as great as our imagination.

You’re not alone! Many kids feel a mix of willingness and fear when they want to speak up. You can practice while doing homework. Pretend (假装) a teacher asked a question. Then raise your hand and answer. Doing this at home may help your voice feel stronger. Next, try to raise your hand once or twice a week at school. You might ask a friend to give you a smile. It’s easier to be brave when someone’s cheering you on. Finally, when you have a question, tell yourself that your classmates may be curious about the same thing. That may help you feel more confident.

That sounds frustrating. Your brothers and sisters may not realize how strongly you feel about this. Here are a few ideas.Make a special place. Find a place to keep your favorite toys. Ask a parent to help you think of a place that is just for your things. Talk it out. Have a calm dialogue with your brothers and sisters. You could say, “This toy is really important to me. Can we make a deal that you will ask before touching it?” Offer other toys. Choose one or two toys that you

are willing to share. That way, your brothers and sisters will still feel included and your special things will stay safe.

11．Which part of a magazine is the passage probably taken from?

A．Science news. B．Healthy lifestyles.

C．Personality tests. D．Teenage problems.

12．What does the underlined word “included” mean?

A．Accepted. B．Guilty. C．Praised. D．Nervous.

13．What can we learn from the passage?

A．We can get our friends’ support if we raise our hands in class.

B．We can share our favourite toys with others to keep them safe.

C．Practicing speaking up at home can make us more confident in class.

D．Communicating with our parents can help us protect our favourite toys.

Every summer, thousands of swamp sparrows (沼泽麻雀) sing songs in the North America’s wetlands. These special brown birds only know a few songs, but they sing them very well. In fact, their song list hasn’t changed much for hundreds of years.

Like humans, baby swamp sparrows learn songs from their elders. “Swamp sparrows just make few mistakes when they learn their songs.” says biologist Robert Lachlan. Actually, they copy the music so well that it stays the same from the elder to the young.

“Just like children, the sparrows don’t remember every song they hear,” Lachlan says. “They just pick up the songs they hear most often. It’s an example of what scientists call ‘conformist bias’.” Until recently, this learning ability was thought to be special only to humans.

Between 2008 and 2009, Lachlan’s team recorded the songs of 615 swamp sparrows across the northeastern United States. The study found that only 2% of these sparrows sang a different song, while the other sparrows sang songs just from their list. “The song-types that you hear in the wetland of North America today may have been there 1,000 years ago.” says Lachlan.

However, another team found that a few sparrows changed their song list in recent years. Now scientists are
