STEM Summer Programs for High School Students
STEM is a term that stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Here is a list of some of
the best STEM summer camps for high school students.
Future Matters Program
It is an 8-week paid summer research experience for high school students. This is a hands-on program for
students interested in going after a career in medical research. Students will attend seminars led by the faculty and
participate in discussions with peers.
Simons Summer Research
It is a seven-week program located at Stony Brook University. Students will have the opportunity to
participate in special workshops, tours and events free of charge. They will conclude the program producing a
written research abstract and a research poster.
Research Science Institute
It is the first cost-free summer program of its kind. During this six-week program, students will dive deeper
into the world of science and engineering by experiencing the entire research cycle. In this program students will
attend classes conducted by famous professors and prepare written and oral presentations to present their research.
Program in Math for Young Scientists
This is a six-week intensive mathematics program designed for students across the globe. Unlike common
programs, it offers a great deal of independence for students to choose their own schedules and decide what they
英语试卷 第 1 页 共 11 页
want to study. Besides learning, there is also “mandatory (强制的) fun time” built into the weekly schedule so that
students are able to have non-math related activities.
1．Which program best suits students who want to be doctors?
A．Future Matters Program. B．Simons Summer Research.
C．Research Science Institute. D．Program in Math for Young Scientists.
2．What do Simons Summer Research and Research Science Institute have in common?

As the saying goes, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for
a lifetime.” This is the way the charity organization Heifer International (国际小母牛慈善组织) wants to end
world hunger.
It began in the 1930s when an American farmer, Dan West, went to Spain to help people in need. He tried to
feed the people with milk. But it seemed that there would never be enough milk. It made him think that what they
needed was “not a cup, but a cow”.
Dan West returned to America. He worked together with some friends to find ways to end hunger. He
believed giving animals and providing training would stop world hunger. With his help, Heifer International was
set up.
On Heifer International’s website, you will see a list of animals like cows, chickens, pigs and even fish and
bees. You can offer help by buying some animals for one certain family. Those animals will have babies. With
more and more animals, these families will be able to support themselves. Once these families get better lives, they
will pass on the act of kindness to others. More importantly, you are buying the resources (资源) for programs run
by Heifer International to help more families.
The programs also help small-sized farms. As a rule, each farmer must give his animal’s first female ( 雄性)
baby to another in need. Heifer International also provides training on animals health and feeding. And these
farmers all agree to teach others what they have learned as another rule.
However, there is still a long way to go. The milk may run out. But if families have their own cows, they can
get plenty of milk to feed themselves. The organization wants the farmers to go on working together, helping each
英语试卷 第 2 页 共 11 页
other and learning from each other. Maybe hunger can really be stopped.
4．According to the passage, we know that Dan West_________.
A．set up a team in Spain B．helped people with enough fish
C．was a Spanish farmer D．helped set up Heifer International
5．Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the charity organization Heifer International?
A．Heifer International makes a list of animals on its website.
B．Farmers in the program must teach others how to feed animals.
C．Farmers in the program must give all the animals’ babies to others.
D．Heifer Intermational provides training on animals' health and feeding.
6．If we put the passage into four parts, which of the following is the best?
（=Para.1 =Para.2 =Para.3 =Para.4 = Para.5 = Para.6）
A．；；； B．；；； C．；；； D．

7．The best title of this passage may be “________”
A．Advice on Feeding Cows B．A Cow Instead of a Cup
C．The Charity Organizations D．An American Farmer

Colin Chapman, the founder of Lotus Cars, was once of motor racing’s most influential engineers. Between
1962 and 1978 Lotus won seven Formula One constructors championships. He summed up his philosophy as
“simplify, then add lightness”. It appears to be an uncommon insight. A paper published in Nature suggests that
humans struggle with subtractive(减法的) thinking. When asked to improve something, they tend to suggest
adding new things rather than removing what is already there, even when additions lead to subpar(低于标准的)
results.
The research was motivated by everyday observation rather than psychological theory, says Gabrielle Adams,
the paper’s first author, who cites folk wisdom such as “less is more” and “keep it simple”. Perhaps the need for
such reminders was evidence of a blind spot in people’s thinking?
Along with colleagues at the University of Virginia, Dr. Adams conducted a series of observational studies. In
one, when participants were asked to alter an essay they had written, 16% cut words while 80% added them.
Others gave similar results. Of 827 suggestions received by the new boss of an American university for how the
institution could be improved, 581 involved adding new things and just 70 suggested removing something.
英语试卷 第 3 页 共 11 页
Having established that addition does indeed seem to be more popular than subtraction, the next step was to
work out why. One possibility was that people were considering subtractive options, but deliberately choosing not
to pursue them. Another was that they were not even thinking of them in the first place.
Let’s enter a new set of experiments. One experiment asked participants to redesign a lopsided(不平衡的)
Lego structure so that it could support a house-brick. Participants could earn a dollar for fixing the problem, but
each piece of Lego they added cut that reward by ten cents. Even then, only 41% worked out that simplifying the
structure by removing a single block, rather than strengthening it by adding more, which was the way to maximise
the payout. Another example, asking people to make a golf course worse rather than better did not change their
preference for additions, which suggested that many were simply not thinking of the possibility, at least at first.
What all this amounts to, says Benjamin Converse, another of the study’s authors, is evidence for a new entry
in the list of “cognitive biases” that skew(歪曲) how humans think. Instead of thinking a problem through and
coming up with an ideal solution, they tend to use cognitive shortcuts that are fast and mostly “good enough” in
their mind.
Such research has inspired an entire field dedicated to working out when such shortcuts lead people astray(迷
失). Dr. Adams and her colleagues, meanwhile, are keen to investigate their result thoroughly. One question is
whether the preference for addition is inborn or learned.
8．Why does the author mention the story of Colin Chapman?
A．To provide evidence.
B．To highlight the experience.
C．To present background information.
D．To introduce the topic of the passage.
9．Which of the following is correct according to the passage?
A．People prefer additions to subtractions in most situations
B．The philosophy “less is more” is well-received for long.
C．Strengthening the structure is the way to maximize the payout.
D．People tend to use shortcuts and come up with ideal solutions.
10．What does the study propose?
A．A way that people automatically think.
B．A fact that people routinely forget.
英语试卷 第 4 页 共 11 页
C．A view that shortcuts are good enough.
D．A point that addition is always better.
11．What are Dr. Adams and his colleagues likely to study next?
A．The benefits of subtractions for people.
B．The ways of changing how people think.
C．The details of the preference for addition.
D．The influence of cognitive biases on people.
D
Who has no regrets about things done in the past? Wouldn’t it be nice if, somehow, we could go back to
change a couple of bad decisions? This sounds like science fiction.
The laws of physics prohibit traveling back in time for many reasons. If we did travel back in time and
changed the course of events, we would be altering the course of history. An example often cited is the
grandfather’s paradox (悖论): If your grandfather died when he was still a high school student, he wouldn’t have
met your grandmother and your father and you wouldn’t exist.
Putting humans or consciousness traveling back in time aside for the moment, is there anything in science
even similar? Surprisingly, yes. At the level of quantum particles (量子粒子), there is something called Wheeler’s
delayed-choice experiments that show that actions in the present can influence the past. The experiments use
something called the wave-particle duality (波粒二象性) of light and of matter. The fact that the physical nature of
quantum objects is undetermined until it is measured. In other words, this means that a particle of light or of matter
can behave either as a wave (spreading out in space) or as a particle (staying together) depending on the measuring
devices. Long and ongoing discussions about the nature of quantum physics are still trying to work out what this
actually means. Do our minds determine the nature of physical reality?
Should we offer food for thought for the future or the past? Unfortunately, these experiments say very little
about how we could interfere with the past in events relevant to the human scale. Better to think carefully about
decisions than to try to fix them backwards.
12．What’s the purpose of mentioning the paradox?
A．To show it is interesting.
B．To explain Wheeler’s tests.
C．To demonstrate time is different from what we have known.
D．To show it’s impossible to travel back in time.
英语试卷 第 5 页 共 11 页
13．What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A．Consciousness traveling back in time was tried in the experiments.
B．Different measuring devices have the same result.
C．More research is needed in the future.
D．These experiments can determine the nature of matter.
14．Which can best summarize the last paragraph?
A．We should focus on the present.
B．The future food is more nutritious.
C．We can change the past from the experiments.
D．It is never too late to make up for mistakes.
15．Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Is changing the past wise?
B．Can we change the past?
C．Do our minds determine the future?
D．Do the laws of physics ban traveling back?

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。
When we walk the “path of life”, social life is very important. More often than not, close friendships can help
us smooth out the sometimes rock y road that we are meant to travel. 16 : they may comfort the heart,
advise the head and help us achieve the goals we set for ourselves. Through friendship, we can become happier,
wiser and more satisfied humans.
The first fruit is that they can comfort the heart, because the peace comes from having someone with whom
we share our joy, sadness, success and failure. Here, friendship has a double advantage-happiness takes on a
greater meaning and a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved! Naturally, this kind of openness results from a
close friendship. With true friends, we feel free to share our joy and sadness in full measure. We know that our
friends will both respect our feelings and treasure these moments of closeness. 17
The second one is 18 We often find it easier to recognize other people’s weaknesses than our own.
As a result, if we are guided only by our own feelings, our judgements might be one-sided. On the other hand, our
friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions that we all have to make. Also, when we want to talk
our problems over with a friend, we have to put our thoughts into words first. This alone helps make our thoughts
英语试卷 第 6 页 共 11 页
clearer and brings us a more thorough understanding of our problems.
The third one is that they can help us achieve the goals we set for ourselves 19 Sometimes a friend is
even known as our “second self”. There are so many things in life that can only be achieved with the help of
friends. Friends may have many different ideas and skills. They can help us achieve what we want during life and,
perhaps, even after death.
Finally, it should be pointed out that enjoying the company of a crowd is not the same as being with friends.
If we want to better walk the “path of life” with the comfort, advice and help from our trusted friends, 20
A．However, when we seek to be alone, we must be careful that we do not always escape into our own world.
B．because friends may offer help in many different ways.
C．In general, close friendships have three main “fruits”.
D．we should choose friends and develop relationships carefully.
E．Indeed, the human heart depends on such opportunities for comfort and protection.
F．that they can advise the head because we may have better understanding and judgement that are achieved
through conversations with well-meaning and wise friends.
G．quiet periods of reflection can lead to personal improvement.

Before I started high school my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy could ask for: a cell phone.
I 21 that phone all summer. To me, being connected was more important than being present. So, you can
imagine my 22 when I learned what my dad had 23 for my family vacation that year. “This year,”
my dad said, “We are going camping!” His excitement was met with a disappointing sigh（叹气）. 24 , he
wasn’t upset.
The views during the trip were amazing, but none of those mattered to me. My mind was on my phone. I
remembered the first time I looked up was for something shocking—my phone had no service. My dad said that it
would be 25 until we returned home. I would be 26 in the forest for four days with no way to contact
the outside world. I went to bed angry that night. But something 27 when I awoke in the morning. 28
immediately burying my head in my phone, I 29 something else: my surroundings. As my dad and I walked
the trails（小路），I felt the weight of tons of stress off my shoulders.
I realized being 30 to nature made me focus more on myself. I let my mind speak to me and listened to
英语试卷 第 7 页 共 11 页
my feelings. I had been so focused on staying connected that I hadn’t been hearing my own 31 . That was 15
years ago, and I carry that 32 to this day. When I received my first work email. I 33 the reason why
my dad chose a campsite with no access to technology. In a world that asks for more connectivity, the need to
check up your cell phone becomes stronger. Having my own time is nearly 34 when I can be 35 at
any time of day or night. So, I need to work harder.
Whenever I feel my inner self is slipping away, I follow my dad’s guidance. I pack up the tent and drive until
my phone shows those two magic words: “no service”.

In the spare time, Mrs Green always asked her sons, Alan and John to help their neighbor, Ms Maud, to clean
her house because she was too old to do it herself. They helped Ms Maud throughout the spring.
Summer vacation just began. The two brothers planned to play tennis with friends every day, so they could
make the freshman team. However, Alan’s racket (球拍) was lost, which disappointed him a lot.
As usual, Alan and John came to Ms Maud’s house to help her. They went down the block to the Ms Maud’s
英语试卷 第 9 页 共 11 页
and got started. Before cleaning, John put boxes that were thrown around the garage (车库) floor on shelves. When
John put a big box on a shelf, he found a tennis racket in the box. It was a new racket, which was exactly what
Alan wanted.
“You’ve got to see this.” John took out the tennis racket and showed it to Alan.
“Whoa, where did you get that?” Alan asked. John pointed to the shelf, “It was just in the box over there.”
Alan continued to say, “It is so beautiful. My tennis racket was missing. If we take it, I believe no one will ever
know.” He looked at the garage door, which was closed.
But John didn’t think it’s a good idea, “Well, we do a lot of things for Ms Maud and don’t get paid. It’s not
really stealing. It’s a kind of payment for our hard work,” said Alan. Without hesitation (犹豫), John looked at the
racket, took it from Alan’s hand and put it back in the box.
“Hello, boys.” At that time, Ms Maud walked into the garage, surprising them. “I’ve made a cake. Can you
come in for a piece? I really appreciate all the things you do for me.” “Ugh... sure, Ms Maud,” said John. “Let us
finish up and we’ll be right in.” Ms Maud went back to her house.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then, John told Alan that Ms Maud always rewarded (奖励) them for helping her.
