1、Elizabeth Nolan is a beautiful girl but she has Down syndrome (唐氏综合症). So when Elizabeth started looking for her first job, she faced a lot of rejection and1 as an adult with intellectual disabilities. Her mother, Mary Ann Nolan, realized if they wanted to find a position that would be a good fit, they'd have to create their own.
"There is a need," says Mary Ann. "2, the need is employment for people with disabilities and we want something that will be sustainable (可持续的)."
Elizabeth and her mom joined a group of women and3 Waggies by Maggie & Friends, a dog cookie business that4 only employees with intellectual disabilities.
"It's a5 of untapped (未开发的) talent," says Mary Ann. "But the6 that they face are the sustainability in a job,7 very often they don't have that personal attention from somewhere else."
In this kitchen, bakers learn how to prepare,8, pack and label the products that are sold in9 stores and online. "It's very uniform. It's10," says Mary Ann. "You have a (n)11, you have dough (面团), you have to cut it, get it on a tray and the trays are the same size."
Mary Ann says, "The company can't grow much bigger; keeping it small12 staff to receive special attention. But she wants to see other cities and towns13 the non-profit project to serve their own14 with disabilities."
"Everyone likes a business with a (n)15 and so many of our customers buy because of that," says Mary Ann. "But then they come back because the bones are good and the dogs like them."

3、Inspired by butterfly wings, a team of German researchers have developed a new kind of robotic wings that can work using only magnetic fields (磁场). The new wings created by the Technical University of Darmstadt researchers need no batteries or electronics.
The researchers drew inspiration from the remarkable efficiency and endurance (持久力) of monarch butterflies, known to have incredibly long migrations between Canada and Mexico. Every autumn, millions of Monarch butterflies start a 3,000-mile journey from their North American breeding grounds to the warmer climate of southwestern Mexico for the winter.
These new robotic wings achieve energy-efficient flight by combining movement with passive bending, which was rarely copied outside the natural world. The team, led by Professor Oliver Gutfleisch and Dr. Denys Makarov, used a combination of flexible plastic fixed with tiny magnetic particles (颗粒) to build the wings.
The team found that the magnetic particles, when exposed to external magnetic fields, caused the wings to bend in a manner similar to that of butterflies. Achieving the desired design proved challenging; however, after testing fewer than 12 different designs, the team could develop wings strikingly similar to those that evolved in butterflies.
Looking ahead, these new wings could have a wide range of applications. One could be environmental research in which winged robots monitor pollinator populations or measure air quality. They could also be helpful in disasters, with their small, energy-efficient design enabling robots to navigate dangerous areas for search and rescue operations. The team also pointed out that the new design could also be readily adapted for medical sciences.
The principle of using magnetic particles in this way could also open doors for developing new kinds of artificial muscles or other innovative materials that can change shape on demand. While the robotic wings currently rely on external magnetic fields to change shape, the team is optimistic about integrating man - made magnetic field generators into future upgrades of the technology. "We plan to explore what changes to magnetic fields can enable more complex movements and control, " explained Muhammad Bilal Khan, another lead author.
(1)、What's the driving power of the robotic wings?A、The air pressure. B、The magnetic field. C、The rechargeable battery. D、The electronic motor.(2)、What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?A、The potential of the robotic wings. B、Challenges facing the research team. C、The working principle of the robots. D、Uncertainties in developing robotic wings.(3)、What does the last paragraph imply about the robotic wings?A、They should still depend on outside magnetic fields. B、Their use is strictly limited to environmental monitoring. C、They are expected to operate in controlled magnetic fields. D、Their new versions will function as well as human muscles.(4)、Which is a suitable title for the text?A、The Monarch Butterfly's 3,000-Mile Journey B、Butterfly Wings Hold Clues to Natural Adaptation C、Butterflies Rely on Magnetic Fields for Flight D、Robotics Taking Wings Thanks to Butterflies -
4、Jensen Huang has worked hard, overcome challenges and used his life experiences to build one of the most important tech companies.
Huang was born in Tainan in 1963, but his father's work took the family to Thailand when he was a child. Then, when Huang was 9, his parents sent him and his brother to the United States due to political tensions in Thailand.
Unexpectedly, Huang was sent to a reform school for troubled youth. This may not sound beneficial, but Huang appreciated it. He says, "We worked really hard, and the kids were really tough." The toughness and work ethic (道德) he developed have served him well.
After graduating from college, Huang earned a master's degree in electrical engineering. While being a student, he worked as a waiter. Before he took the job, he was very shy, but waiting tables forced him to speak to people. That helped him to get over his shyness. He also learned the importance of admitting mistakes.
On his 30th birthday, Huang and two engineering friends founded his company, NVIDIA. They thought it was likely that computers would soon need more powerful technology to display graphics (图像). So NVIDIA produced such hardware: the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) in 1999. The first application of this technology was to video games, but it has also been used in other areas. Recently, GPUs have played a key role in the development of AI.
Huang's success is attributed to a number of factors including hard work and refusal to give up. But the most important characteristic is his willingness to take risks and learn from failure. This requires humility (谦逊) and honesty, which enables him to recognize and correct mistakes. Huang encourages these attitudes in his employees, which are partly responsible for the company's success.
Today, at the age of 62, Huang is the longest - serving CEO of a major technology company. He does not intend to stop anytime soon.
(1)、How did Huang react to being admitted to a reform school?A、He was shocked at first but settled for it. B、He set a goal to get prepared for his tech career. C、He took it seriously and made full use of it. D、He regretted the reform school but didn't say so.(2)、Which may replace the underlined part "attributed to" in paragraph 6?A、due to B、essential to C、identical to D、compared to(3)、What is the text mainly about?A、GPU technology's invention and wide application. B、Huang's experiences and qualities leading to his success. C、NVIDIA's development and impact on the tech industry. D、The significance of hard work and risk - taking for a firm. -
5、The minerals behind energy transition
Moving away from fossil fuels is not only about making clean energy, but also about the materials needed to build clean technology. Many green technologies depend on critical minerals.
The International Energy Agency says that demand for these minerals will grow very fast. By 2030, the world will need three times more critical minerals than today. By 2040, demand may be four times higher. Meeting this demand will not be easy. Many of these minerals are hard to find, unevenly spread across the world, and affected by price changes. So which minerals are most important?
Batteries
Lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese and graphite are widely used in batteries. These batteries power electric cars and store energy from wind and solar power. As more people use electric cars, the need for these minerals keeps rising.
Power grids
Electricity networks need aluminium and copper to move power from place to place. Copper is not rare, but it takes a long time to mine. It can take about 20 years to open a new copper mine, so supply cannot increase quickly.
Wind power
Rare earth elements are needed to make strong magnets. These magnets are used in wind turbines (风力涡轮发电机) and electric car motors. Some rare earths are very scarce and are produced in only a few countries.
Because opening new mines takes many years, recycling is very important. Recycling old materials can reduce the need for new mining. However, recycling technology is still developing and cannot yet meet growing demand.
(1)、How is the demand for critical minerals expected to change?A、Stably remaining. B、Sharply increasing. C、Unevenly spreading. D、Gradually declining.(2)、Which mineral needs longest time from mining to producing?A、Lead B、Nickel. C、Copper D、Rare earths.(3)、Where is the passage most likely taken from?A、A tech forum. B、A miner's diary. C、A science fiction novel. D、A product guide. -
6、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was a cold winter afternoon. Emma was walking home from school through the park near her house when she heard a strange sound. It was a soft, weak cry — like an animal in trouble. She stopped and looked around. At first, she could see nothing but bare trees and fallen leaves. Then she heard the cry again, coming from behind a large bush.
Slowly, Emma pushed the branches aside. There, lying on the ground, was a small, injured bird. Its left wing was bent at an unnatural angle, and it was shaking from the cold. The bird looked up at her with dark, frightened eyes, but it was too weak to move.
Emma's heart ached. She knew she couldn't just leave the bird there to die in the cold. She gently picked it up, wrapping it carefully in her soft scarf. "Don't worry, little one," she whispered. "I'll take care of you."
When she got home, her mother helped her find a small box and line it with an old towel. They placed the bird inside and set the box near a warm radiator (暖气片). Emma used a small dropper (滴管) to give the bird some water. The bird drank a little, but it still seemed very weak. "It needs professional help," Emma's mother said. She found the phone number of a local wildlife rescue centre. Emma called them, and they told her to bring the bird in the next morning. That night, Emma could hardly sleep. She kept getting up to check on the bird, making sure it was still breathing.
