Parents often think that their kids should be good at studies and do well in sports. That’s usually the case because
parents feel that could get their children admission to top colleges. However, Melissa and Mark Wimmer think
differently.
Their 14-year-old son, Mike, is a prodigy. He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He
completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years. That’s not all. He also ran two tech
companies, founded a third one that works towards controlling the population of lionfish, an invasive (入侵的)
species.
But the parents are proud that they were able to help Mike with his social skills along with his intellectual skills.
Melissa told CNBC that people expected “Young Sheldon” before they met her son. Young Sheldon is a television
show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. “But once they talk to Mike, they understand
that he’s just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things,” said Melissa.
Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist
told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast-track development. Many parents aren’t
comfortable with putting their children with 18-year-olds, but Mike’s parents saw the value in letting their child go
through it. “I wanted him to be social and be able to deal with all the different personalities in the classrooms with
older children,” said Melissa.
The parents shared that they were able to do this by letting Mike find his own voice and put it to use. “We let
him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things
are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our
environment,” said Melissa.
Thanks to his parents, Mike has learned to get along with young and old alike.
24. What do the underlined words “ a prodigy” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A gifted person. B. A famous student.
C. A brilliant biologist. D. A successful businessman.
25. What can we infer about the child in the show Young Sheldon?
A. He likes to make friends. B. He is a well-rounded man.
C. He is a popular child actor. D. He is poor at dealing with people.

26. How did Mark and Melissa discover Mike’s high intelligence?
A. Through a recommendation from a child psychologist.
B. Through observing Mike’s behavior in preschool.
C. Through participating in a special educational program.
D. Through the information provided by Mike’s school teachers.
27. What do Mike’s parents do to improve his social skills?
A. Teach him some communication rules. B. Encourage him to speak in class.
C. Place him in social situations. D. Let him go to school alone.

Today’s Brussels sprouts (孢子甘蓝) taste better than you might remember from childhood, and that is because
a new variety has replaced the original vegetable. You can thank plant breeders (植物育种家) for the change. Modern
breeders, armed with new gene-editing technology, are looking to reproduce Brussels sprouts’ reinvention.
In the late 1990s, scientists discovered specific chemicals which made Brussels sprouts taste bitter. Plant
breeders started growing old seeds, previously abandoned due to poor yields (产量), to look for tastier versions with
lower levels of these specific chemicals. Then they crossed these delicious but low-yield plants with high-yield
individuals until they found a version that made plenty of tasty sprouts, transforming the vegetable from a bitter pill
into a popular dish.
But other vegetables haven’t fared as well. That’s because most breeding decisions favor plant traits that matter
to vegetable growers, not vegetable eaters. For instance, disease resistance is probably the major focus these days of
most breeding programs because that prevents the farmer from growing the crop. The taste of vegetables is ignored.
People, however, are now becoming interested in prioritizing the taste of vegetables thanks in part to new genetic
technology such as the gene-snipping technique CRISPR and DNA sequencing which is cheap enough to use widely.
“There’s never been a better time to be a fruit breeder or a vegetable breeder because we have more tools and
techniques,” says Susan Brown, an apple breeder at Cornell University.
Some companies are beginning to use those tools to deal with the challenge of developing tastier vegetables.
One company, Pairwise, is fighting the same compounds that troubled Brussels sprouts: glucosinolates. But this time
researchers are improving the flavor of salad greens.
All vegetable growers hope that more flavorful products on store shelves will convince people to consume the
recommended allowances (推荐量) of fruits and vegetables — and do so better than decades of nutritional guidance
have. “Don’t waste your time talking about trying to educate people to eat better,” said Harry Klee, a professor who
specializes in tomato breeding. “Just give them products that taste better and that they want to eat.”
28. Why did plant breeders grow old Brussels sprout seeds?
A. To find out why Brussels sprouts are bitter.
B. To find the less bitter versions of Brussels sprouts.
C. To study the specific chemicals of Brussels sprouts.
D. To select high-yielding versions of Brussels sprouts.

29. What does the underlined word “fared” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Profited B. Emerged. C. Survived. D. Succeeded.
30. What can we learn from Susan Brown’s words in paragraph 4?
A. Fruit and vegetable breeding techniques are booming.
B. Fruit and vegetable breeding techniques need no further improvement.
C. Fruit and vegetable breeders are struggling to develop new species.
D. Fruit and vegetable breeders should develop new genetic technology.
31. Which is the best way to get people to eat more fruits and vegetables according to Harry Klee?
A. Enhancing the taste of vegetables and fruits.
B. Making vegetables and fruits more affordable for people.
C. Improving the nutritional content of vegetables and fruits.
D. Educating people about the benefits of vegetables and fruits.
D
Despite all the efforts students make to graduate with a science major, research has shown that most college
science courses provide students with only a fragmented (碎片化的) understanding of fundamental scientific
concepts. The teaching method improves memorization of separate facts, proceeding from one textbook chapter to
the next without necessarily making connections between them, instead of learning how to use the information and
connect those facts meaningfully.
With that in mind, we developed a series of cross-disciplinary (跨学科的) activities. In our most recent study,
we investigated how well college students could use their chemistry knowledge to explain real-world biological
phenomena. To begin with, we interviewed 28 first-year college students majoring in sciences or engineering. All
had taken both introductory chemistry and biology courses. We asked them to identify connections between the
content of these courses and what they believed to be the take-home messages from each course. The students
responded with extensive lists of topics, concepts, and skills that they’d learned in class.
Following that, a set of cross-disciplinary activities were designed to guide students in the use of core chemistry
ideas and knowledge to help explain real-world biological phenomena. One activity explored the impacts of ocean
acidification on seashells. Here, the students were asked to use basic chemistry ideas to explain how the increasing
level of carbon dioxide in sea water is affecting shell-building marine animals such as corals, clams and oysters.
Overall, the students felt confident of their chemistry knowledge. However, they had a harder time applying the
same chemistry knowledge to explaining the biological phenomena. These findings highlight that a big gap remains
between what students learn in their science courses and how well prepared they are to apply that information.
The students in our study also reported that these activities helped them see links between the two disciplines
that they wouldn’t have perceived otherwise. The ability to make these connections is important beyond the classroom
as well, because it’s the basis of science literacy (科学素养). So we also came away with evidence that our chemistry
students at least would like to have the ability to have a deeper understanding of science and how to apply it.
32. What does the existing science education fail to do according to the research?
A. Extend students’ theoretical knowledge.
6
{#{QQABTQSEogCIQAIAABgCQwEyCgIQkAAACKoGBBAEMAAAwBFABCA=}#}
B. Engage students in more outdoor activities.
C. Encourage students to enjoy the learning process.
D. Teach students to make connections among different subjects.
33. What can we learn about the student interviewees?
A. They have rich academic knowledge.
B. They pay little attention to biology courses.
C. They hardly identify the core ideas of science.
D. They fully understand their major’s importance.
34. The activity about ocean acidification expects students to _____________________.
A. analyse the exact composition of sea water.
B. study some unusual phenomena under the sea.
C. come up with practical methods to protect sea life.
D. explain the effects of carbon dioxide on sea creatures.
35. What does the author see from the result of the study?
A. The need to remove the unfairness in education.
B. The difficulties of cross-disciplinary study.
C. The potential to promote students’ science literacy.
D. The method of increasing students’ practical skills.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The benefits of positive emotions never stop after a few minutes of good feelings go back to normal.
36._____________ It will serve to build skills and develop resources for use later in life. Let’s consider a real world
example.
A child who runs around outside, swinging on branches and playing with friends, develops the ability to move
athletically (physical skills), the ability to play with others and communicate with a team (social skills), and the ability
to explore and examine the world around them (creative skills). 37._______________
These skills last much longer than the emotions that initiated them. Years later, that foundation of athletic
movement might develop into a scholarship as a college athlete or the communication skills may turn into a job offer
as a business manager. The happiness that promoted the exploration and creation of new skills has long since ended.
38._____________ Researchers refer to this as the “broaden and build” theory because positive
emotions broaden your sense of possibilities and open your mind, which in turn allows you to build new skills and
resources that can provide value in other areas of your life.
39._____________ Why? Because building skills for future use is irrelevant when there is immediate threat or
danger (like the tiger on the path). All of this research boils down to the fact that positive thinking is so useful for
developing valuable skills and appreciating the Big Picture of life.
But how can you get yourself to be positive in your life? 40._____________ You probably know what things
work well for you. Maybe it’s playing the guitar. Maybe it’s spending time with a certain person.

A. Negative emotions do the opposite.
B. However, the skills themselves live on.
C. But many of us look at things negatively.
D. The biggest benefit is an improved ability.
E. That is why the “broaden and build” theory is valuable.
F. In this way, positive emotions help to build valuable skills.
G. Anything arousing feelings of joy, contentment, and love will do the trick.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Walking on the street, the bitter cold of a December day in Washington, D.C. was ruining my mood. The
temperature was below zero so I ducked into the subway station, hoping to get warm.
Warmth came to my body as I settled onto a bench with a cup of hot coffee. Now I was ready to relax and do
some serious people-watching. I noticed a homeless man seated nearby. The pleasant smell of delicious food from
the subway food court (美食广场) was tempting me to consider an early dinner. From the longing look in my
neighbor’s eyes it was obvious that he, too, noticed the good smell. I wondered how long it had been since he had
9
{#{QQABTQSEogCIQAIAABgCQwEyCgIQkAAACKoGBBAEMAAAwBFABCA=}#}
eaten anything, expecting he would approach me for a handout (施舍). But he never did. My head and heart were
battling it out: the former telling me to mind my own business, and the latter urging me to make an immediate trip to
the food court for him.
While this inner debate was fierce, a well-dressed young couple suddenly approached. “Excuse me, sir,” began
the husband. “We just finished eating and our appetite wasn’t as big as we thought. We hate to waste food. Can you
help us out and put this to good use?” The kind stranger handed a large container with food. “Thank you.” came the
grateful reply. Feeling good about what I had seen, but disappointed by my own lack of action, I observed my
neighbor’s response to his sudden good fortune.
He lifted the soup, cupping his hands around the steaming bowl. It was obvious that he was going to enjoy this
miracle meal. He opened mouth and suddenly, he stopped.
The reason for this unexpected behavior soon became clear. Entering the hall was a new arrival, in his seventies,
hatless and gloveless. His lightweight jacket was a poor protection against cold. His face and hands were red and
damaged. People around focused on him with pity and whispered at this sad sight.
