1、Scientists at MIT have managed to change ordinary spinach (菠菜) plants into natural sensors which can find chemicals used in bombs. The secret to giving spinach these special powers is nanotech (纳米技术), which is scientific area that deals with making or changing things that are extremely tiny.

"Ordinary spinach plants can be found everywhere and easy to store; like other plants, they normally take in carbon dioxide gas," the scientists say. "But actually they can sense small changes of soil and water potential and respond to them. If we tap into this point, there is a wealth of information to access." That's what the scientists use to power their tiny experiments.

For this experiment, the scientists placed two different kinds of tiny nano-materials into spinach plants. To get them into the plants, the scientists put a liquid containing them on the bottom of the plant's leaves. As part of its natural process, the spinach plant pulls water through its roots and into its leaves. If the water contains certain chemicals used in bombs, the tiny sensors in the leaves make the nano-tubes, which, along with the sensors, were placed into the spinach plant before by the scientists, produce a slightly special kind of light. By watching the plant constantly using a camera attached to a cheap computer, the scientists set up a system that can send a warning email if chemicals from explosives are found in the water.

The computer the scientists used is about the size of a playing card. They say that in the future, their system could even use a cell phone with its camera changed slightly. Discovering chemicals used in bombs is just one of the many uses the researchers are exploring. They have used such plants to discover several other dangerous chemicals as well. From their point of view, there's no doubt that in the future, such systems could give farmers specific information about the health of the land and water on their farms.

2、Over the years, George Frost, who is originally from London, has taught art in the Vocational Education Committee (VEC) and has had a number of exhibitions, including one at Cork Airport, which was a great success. He has also exhibited at Bishopstown Library, where he sold most of the paintings on show. George presented a painting of his to a politician and also a university.

For the elderly George, art is something he is crazy about. Art gets him up in the morning, and he often works a full day, painting in the studio in his home. His home in Cork City is full of paintings of landscapes, portraits and scenic spots, including an attractive description of Ross Castle in Killarney. His desire is to give lessons in it to senior citizens, preferably through the medium of television. His thinking is that TV art will attract a relatively big audience. And there are practical considerations. George is in good condition apart from suffering from a bad back, which makes it difficult for him to teach a class as he will have to bend down to see the artworks and give advice to students.

George is now eager to appeal (呼吁) to television producers to broadcast his art classes on TV. He suggests that the filming can take place outdoors in Crosshaven during the summer months, as he frequently paints in the sailing village, attracting the attention of passers-by to his artistic skills.

George believes he has much to offer older individuals who may feel alone and lack a sense of purpose in life. Therefore, he is enthusiastic about sharing his expertise with senior citizens, some of whom may discover a talent for painting. The focus is on developing inclusiveness among the elderly. George even does not seek financial support for his services, and he thinks that his effort will likely assist in reducing government health expenses, as it can serve as an outlet for senior citizens.

4、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

In a small, cozy town, there lived a kind-hearted old man named Mr. Johnson. He had a simple life, spending his days in a small cottage surrounded by a beautiful garden. One sunny morning, while taking a walk in the local animal shelter, his life took an unexpected turn.

Among the cages filled with various animals, Mr. Johnson's eyes landed on a small, shivering puppy. The puppy had big, sad eyes and a coat that was matted and dirty. Without hesitation, Mr. Johnson decided to adopt (收养) the little dog, whom he named Max.

At first, Max was extremely timid (胆小的). He would cower (蜷缩) in the corner of the room whenever there was a loud noise. But Mr. Johnson was patient. He spent hours sitting beside Max, gently stroking (抚摸) his fur and talking to him in a soft voice. Slowly but surely, Max began to trust his new owner.

As the days turned into weeks, Max grew stronger and more energetic. He would follow Mr. Johnson everywhere, whether it was to the garden to tend to the flowers or to the mailbox to pick up the daily mail. One evening, Mr. Johnson fell ill suddenly.

15、Social media has become an important part of teenagers' lives. Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and WeChat allow teens to connect with others, share moments from daily life, and express themselves. While social media offers entertainment and a sense of belonging, it also creates hidden danger to teens' mental health, a growing concern among psychologists worldwide.

One significant issue is the pressure to create a perfect online image. A 2024 study by the Chinese Academy of Adolescent Health (CAAH) found that over 68% of teens post edited or filtered photos, showcasing only the glamorous aspects of their lives, such as fancy meals or exciting trips. This creates unrealistic expectations, causing anxiety when teens' real lives don't match the idealized version they present online. The strong desire for likes can further harm self-esteem; when posts receive little engagement, teens may feel unimportant or invisible, worsening their anxiety.

Fear of missing out (FOMO) is also common. When teens see their friends attending events or going on trips they weren't invited to, it can lead to feelings of loneliness and exclusion. This can cause anxiety and harm real-life relationships, as teens may feel disconnected from their social groups.

Finally, cyberbully (网络霸凌) is a significant concern. Social media's anonymity (匿名) allows people to post hurtful comments they wouldn't say face-to-face, sometimes leading to serious results, such as depression or a mental health crisis (危机).

To reduce these risks, experts recommend setting screen-time limits, encouraging open discussions about social media use, and helping teens focus on building self-acceptance. Educators stress the importance of teaching teens to identify online approval from their true self-worth.

16、Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness (荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.

Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche (雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.

But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.

17、On November 1, 2025, I began a new journey of rediscovery through dance, performing in front of over 200 people at a school welcome party. It was a moment of reflection on how I had let social pressure change me and the beginning of a promise to never give up dancing again.

I was once a young girl who did many ballet turns at home and in front of people. However, as I started school, my relationship with dance began to change. Dancing was only "cool" if you took extra classes and became skilled. Wanting to fit in (适应) and avoid judgment (评价), I pushed my love for dance aside. I told myself that dancing wasn't something I could enjoy openly anymore.

On October 22, 2025, the dance team needed an extra person for a welcome party performance in one week. I didn't know what made me raise my hand. Part of me was afraid of dancing in front of a potentially judgmental crowd, but something inside pushed me forward. Maybe it was that young girl within me, the one who loved to dance without fear, encouraging me to say "yes." I had only a week to learn the dance while my teammates had been practicing for two months. Yet, I poured everything into learning it. Practicing was anything but easy. The pressure of keeping up with my team weighed heavily on me. Thankfully, my teammates were patient and supportive. Even stressed, I kept going, practicing every day for hours.

On performance day, anxiety filled my mind. Would they notice missteps or laugh at me? But as I walked into the spotlight, a wave of joy washed over me, and I saw clearly how much I had let social pressure stop me. I realized it was never worth it to meet others' expectations at the cost of your own joy.

The benefits of AI kitchens include (enable) cooks to avoid boring tasks such as peeling potatoes or standing at a workstation for hours.

, there are risks to human well-being. Cooking is one of the best activities that helps communication and self-expression, but these benefits could be decreased if the human element becomes unnecessary. Family relationships might suffer (heavy) without the cooperative kitchen environment.
