A15-year-old Colorado high school student and young scientist who has used artificial intelligence (AI) and created apps to address polluted drinking water, drug addiction and other social problems has been named Time Magazine’s first-ever “Kid of the Year”.
Rao told The Associated Press in an interview from her home that the prize is nothing that I could have ever imagined. And I’m so grateful and just so excited that we’re really taking a look at the upcoming generation and our generation, since the future is in our hands.
Time said Rao stood out for creating a global community of young innovators and inspiring them to pursue their goals. Rao insisted that starting out small doesn’t matter, as long as you’re passionate about it.
She told Time contributing editor Angelina Jolie in an interview that her science pursuits started early as a way to improve social conditions. The drinking water crisis in Flint, Michigan, inspired her work to develop a way to detect pollutants and send those results to a mobile phone, she said.
“I was like 10 when I told my parents that I wanted to research carbon nanotube sensor technology at the Denver Water quality research lab, and my mum was like, A what?” Rao told Jolie. She said that work is going to be in our generation’s hands pretty soon. “So if no one else is g onna do it, I’m gonna do it.”
In a world where science is increasingly questioned or challenged, Rao insisted that its pursuit is an act of kindness, the best way that a younger generation can better the world.
“We have science in everything we’re involved in, and I think that’s the biggest thing to put out there, that science is cool, innovating is cool, and anybody can be an innovator.” Rao said, “Anybody can do science.”
24. What did Rao think of the award she received?
A. It was a mark of social progress.
B. It was a title beyond her expectation.
C. It was an inspiration to the youth.
D. It was a recognition of her work.
25. Why would Rao start to pursue science?
A. To encourage people to aim high.
B. To stop science from being questioned.
C. To change the society for the better.
D. To pursue her passion for research.
26. Which word can best describe Rao?
A. Generous.
B. Selfish.
C. Independent.
D. Creative.
27. What’s the purpose of the text?
A. To improve social conditions.
B. To introduce new inventions.
C. To report a young genius.
D. To present artificial intelligence.

Anyone wanting to help the poor may like this idea—recycling aluminum（铝）cans in a different way, which is apparently also good for the environment. So you're actually killing two birds with one stone. Itgoes without saying that recycling aluminum cans can save resources, energy, time and money. Peopleusually save and place aluminum cans in the dustbins, which are then collected and taken away by cleaners,who will finally recycle them in the recycling center. But if you save the aluminum cans, and skip thecleaners, you can save these same cans for something more important—helping the poor. In other words, bydoing less, you are giving the environmental cause some new significance.
Here is how to put this idea into action. Take your aluminum cans and place them in a plastic bag. Forthe dirty ones, rinse them out first. Store the bag of clean aluminum cans. Once you collect about onehundred cans or more, take the cans to the recycle center yourself. There are about eighteen aluminum cansin a pound. And you can receive three to four dollars for one hundred cans. Donate your
three to fourdollars to the poor or any charity organization of your choice.
By now, you may wonder if your few dollars have really made a difference to the poor. Consider this:Is there any individual or any specific event that is great enough to change the world or decide the directionthat history takes? The answer is probably no. What if there were a lot of people who would do the samething? History shows nothing but the collective will of the whole community. And that will surely bepowerful enough to make a bigger difference.
Go to your community or your school and spread your idea. Share your idea and save your aluminumcans with other people. One hundred people can speak louder than one. And the money you make by savingcans can be multiplied by one hundred times. And if more people join in the cause around the world, aneven larger difference can be made , and more people in need will enjoy the benefits.
28. What's special about the new idea?
A. It benefits the poor.
B. It saves resources.
C. It makes profits.
D. It involves cleaners.
29. What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A. Dirty cans do not sell well.
B. The recycle center is conveniently located.
C. Ahundred cans weigh about 3 pounds.
D. You decide who receives the money.
30. What does the underlined w ord “that” in p aragraph 3 probably refer to?
A. The collective will of people.
B. The direction history takes.
C. Agreat individual or event.
D. The neighbourhood you live in.
31. Which of the following does the writer want to tell us?
A. Don't put the cart before the horse.
B. Rome is not built in one day.
C. Many hands make light work.
D. No man can do two things at once.
D
A study found wireless signals are able to pass through bags and suitcases to judge the sizes ofdangerous metal objects and identify them. “These items could include weapons, chemicals, laptops andbatteries for bombs,” the re search team said on Tuesday.
Research suggested that Wi-Fi can now be used to estimate the volume of liquids such as water, acid,alcohol and other chemicals for explosive material. The study led by researchers at the Wireless Information Network Laboratory (WINLAB) in the School of Engineering showed a wireless device with two to three antennas (天线) that could be fitted in existing Wi-Fi networks.
The detection system analyzes what happens when wireless signals go through and bounce off objects or materials. The approach, which the paper states, works by separating the wireless interference (干扰) caused by two factors of objects —the material and shape. “Most dangerous objects such as weapons areusually metal or liquid, which have significant interference,” researchers said.
When it was tested on a backpack, the accuracy rate topped 95 percent. “But the accuracy dropped toabout 90 percent when objects inside bags are wrapped. And the tech could save lives if used in museums,stadiums, theme parks or schools,” the team said, noting its design can inspect bags or luggage withoutbeing an exposure to privacy.
It uses channel state information (CS) that is readily available in low-cost Wi-Fi devices. “This couldhave a great impact on protecting the public from dange rous objects,” said Yingying Chen, a co-author ofthe study, “There’s a growing need for that now. In large public areas, it’s hard to set up expensivescreening equipment like what’s in airports. Manpower is always needed to check bags and we want todevelop a method to try to reduce manpower. “
The peer-reviewed study, which recently won a best paper award at the 2018 IEEE Conference onCommunications and Network Security, is now published online. “Future work will continue to focus onimproving the accuracy o f identifying objects and imaging shapes and volumes,” researchers said.
32. What does paragraph 3 talk about?
A. The function of the technique.
B. The way the device works.
C. The principle the study is based on.
D. The benefit of the study findings.
33. What’s the advantage of the device?
A. It saves people in danger of natural disasters.
B. It passes through bags without damaging them.
C. It uses antennas to pick up networks’ signals.
D. It protects personal information from being exposed.
34. What is Yingying Chen’s attitude toward using the new device??
A. Indifferent.
B. Opposed.
C. Supportive.
D. Doubtful.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text ?
A. Wireless Signals to Judge Metal Objects.
B. A Wireless Device for Identifying Danger.
C. Antennas to Be Fitted in Wi-Fi Networks.
D. Devices for Improving the Accuracy of Identifying Objects

How is eating in space different from eating on Earth?
If you send astronauts into space, you have to send along food as well. But what do astronauts eat, andhow do they eat it? Scientists take several factors into consideration as they plan meals for space.
First, and possibly most important, is nutrition (营养). 36 Providing junk food to eat, such as potato chips, sodas, and pizza, would make the astronauts unhealthy.
37 If the food that has been provided is distasteful, then the astronauts may avoid eating it.If you’ve ever tried to concentrate on something important while your stomach doesn’t feel well, you’llknow why the scientists in charge of a space mission want their astronauts to eat regularly.
The lack of gravity in a spacecraft also determines what foods can or cannot be eaten in space. Meals must be packaged carefully so they won’t spill(洒落/溢出) into the cabin (one of the areas inside a spacecraft). Water or tiny bits of food could get inside a machine or electronic device and damage it.38 Aloose knife bouncing (弹起) around inside the cabin would be dangerous.
39 The weight of every object included in a spacecraft must be calculated (计算) in order to ensure that there is enough fuel and power to carry the craft safely into space and back home again.
40 Most foods are stored in plastic bags, and often, the foods are dehydrated (使脱水). When an astronaut is ready to eat, hot water is added to the meal and warm it up.
Despite all these requirements, much of the food eaten in space is actually similar to what you mighteat on any given day.
A. Believe it or not, they also have fresh fruits and vegetables.
B. Keeping astronauts’ physical health is a top task for any space mission.
C. Food packaging is made to be as light as possible.
D. Taste is also important.
E. For the same reason, sharp knives and folks are never used on board.
F. Nutrition and practicality(实用) are important things to consider.
G. Finally, weight is an important concern.

The big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to cross the bridge. The darknight air was cold and a little wet, and the street lamp gave little light. He could have used his phone forlighting, but it was dead after a long call with his mother. Frank was anxious to get home and his footstepsrang loudly on the silent night.
When he reached the middle of the bridge, he thought he could hear someone coming near behindhim. He looked back but could see no one. However, the sound continued and Frank began to walk morequickly. Then he slowed down again, thinking there was nothing to fear in a town as quiet as this.
Just then, he heard short, quick steps closely behind him. By the time he reached the other side ofthe bridge, he could almost feel someone at his heels.
He turned round and there stood a man in a large coat.
Ahat was pulled down over his eyes and very little of his face could be seen.
Frank said something about the weather in an effort to be friendly. The man did not answer butasked roughly where Oakfield House was. Frank pointed to a big house in the distance and the strangercontinued his way.
Then Frank wondered why the stranger had wanted to find Oakfield House at such an hour. Heknew that the people who lived there were very rich. Almost without realizing what he was doing, he beganfollowing the stranger quickly.
The man was soon outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the windows. A light was still onand the man waited until it went out. When about half an hour had passed, Frank saw him climb noiselessly.over the wall and heard him drop on the ground at the other side.
Paragraph 1: Now Frank knew what the man wanted to do._________________________________
