The young scientist discovered a catalyst(催化剂) that could turn Egypts one million tons of annually waste plastic into a $78 million worth of biofuel each year. She hopes that the development could “provide an economically efficient method for production of hydrocarbon(碳氢化合物) fuel,” and many appear to agree; Faiad has been awarded the European Fusion Development Agreement Award at the 23rd European Union Contest for Young Scientists, and is seeking patents for her discovery.A Pee(尿)-Powered Energy Generator(发电机) Created by Four Nigerian TeenagersFour Nigerian teenage girls amazed visitors to the Maker Faire Africa with their pee-powered energy generator. Able to source an impressive six hours of power from just one liter of urine(尿), the 14-and15-year-olds renewable energy generator holds interesting possibilities for providing electricity in remote areas or in disaster zones.Turning Banana Peels(皮) into Bioplastics16-year-old Turkish student Elif Bilgin developed her very own technique for turning the ordinary banana peel into bioplastics, a discovery which she hopes could reduce dependence on petrol chemicals and make use of some of the 200 tons of banana peel thrown away daily in Thailand alone. Her development relies on the properties of the starches(淀粉) and cellulose(纤维) found in the outer layer of banana peels, which through a chemical process developed by Bilgin herself, can be transformed into a non-decaying(不腐烂的) bioplastics.21What do we know from the first invention?AThe young student was working in a factory though she is young.BThe young students invention will surely solve the energy problem.CThe young Egyptian students invention is very environmentally friendly.DPeople seemed to have different opinions on the young students invention.22What is the purpose of Elif Bilgins invention?ATo increase the dependence on nature.

It is expected to bring unbelievable speeds to Internet users, with some operations running 10 times faster than on 4G networks. 5G is also expected to unlock the potential in a lot of new services, including artificial intelligence, science of robots, self-driving cars, and the Internet of things.The GSMA said that Chinas three major mobile operators China Unicom, China Mobile, and China Telecomare already moving ahead with 5G networks. While most nations will have 5G by updating existing foundations, the study noted that China plans to build part of its 5G networks.One of the major distinguishing factors between Chinese mobile operators and those in the rest of the world is the intention to erect the new and independent 5G networks. That is, China is determined to build a completely advanced 5G. The high cost underlines Chinas seriousness about paying whatever it takes.Korea will lead the world in terms of 5G penetration in 2025, when 66 percent of the nations total connections will be 5G, according to GSMAThis compares to 50 percent in the US,49 percent in Japan, 36 percent in China, 30 percent in Europe, and a global average of 18 percent. Out of the five economies leading on 5G, Europe will have the lowest participation in 2025, as the area is moving more slowly in having its 5G networks.24What will 5G bring?AA completely new pattern for daily life. BExcellent networks and national safety.CAmazing speeds for public transportation. DRealizing the potential in many new services.25What is the future of 5G in China?AIt will develop rapidly.BIt may be lack of government support.CIt will move forward slowly.DIt may fall behind Europe.26Which of the following best explains “erect” underlined in paragraph 4?Abring up.Bset up.Cturn up.Dpick up.27What can we infer from the last paragraph?ASome Chinese will use 5G in 2025. BKoreans cannot own 5G in 2025.COnly five countries will have 5G in 2025. DEurope will pay little attention to 5G in 2025.C Twenty minutes of exercise may help kids with ADHD(小儿多动症) settle in to read or solve a math problem, a new research suggests.The small study, of 40 810 year-olds, looked only at the short-term effects of a single period time of exercise. But researchers warn that they are not saying exercise is the answer to ADHDBut it seems that exercise may at least do no harm to kids ability to focus, they say. And further studies should look into whether its a good choice for managing some childrens ADHD“This is only a first study,” said lead researcher Matthew BPontifex, of Michigan State University in East Lansing.“We need to learn how long the effects last, and how exercise might combine with or compare to traditional ADHD treatments” like stimulant medications(刺激性药物), Pontifex explained.He noted that theres been a lot of research into older adults. But little is known about kids, even though some parents, teachers and doctors have advocated exercise for helping children with ADHDSo for their study, Pontifex and his colleagues found 20 children with diagnosed(诊断) or suspected ADHD, and 20 ADHD-free kids of the same age and family-income level.All of the children took a standard test of their ability to ignore distractions(注意力分散) and stay focused on a simple task at hand - the main ability that troubles kids with ADHD, Pontifex noted. The kids also took standard tests of reading, spelling and math skills.Each child took the tests after either 20 minutes of treadmill(跑步机) exercise or 20 minutes of quiet reading (on separate days). Overall, the study found, both groups of children performed better after exercise than after reading.On the test of focusing ability, the ADHD group was correct on about 80 percent of responses after reading, versus(相对于) about 84 percent after exercise. Kids without ADHD performed better -reaching about a 90 percent correct rate after exercise.Similarly, both groups of kids scored higher on their reading and math tests after exercise, versus post-reading.28What does the new research suggest?AExercising will make kids with ADHD stronger. BExercising will help kids with ADHD focus better.CExercising will help make math problems easier. DExercising will help kids read more quickly.29What is the problem about the research into kids?AThere is too much research into the older adults.BThe research about the ADHD is enough.CThe research about kids with ADHD is limited.DExercise is not combined with traditional treatment.30Why did Pontifexs team need 20 ADHD free kids during the research?AThey need to compare their performance with that of kids with ADHDBThey need them to do some reading and math problems after school.CThey need them to take a standard test of their ability to ignore distractions.DThey need them to take standard tests of reading, spelling and math skills.31What happened to the kids after exercising?AKids with ADHD performed better than kids without ADHD in reading.BKids without ADHD performed the same before and after exercising.CBoth groups scored higher on their reading and math tests after reading.DBoth kids with ADHD and without ADHD performed better after exercise.D “A lie can travel half way around the world before the truth can put its boots on.” That quote is attributed to Mark Twain. In todays Internet world of “fake（假的）news”, lies spread even faster than the truth is having trouble finding its boots.To make matters worse, most young people get news from social media sites where facts are mixed with rumors（谣言）, half-truths and complete lies. This has led to young people becoming confused. In the latest PISA, which tested 15-year-old worldwide on academic subjects, fewer than one in ten of the examinees were reported to be able to distinguish fact from opinion. A Stanford University study showed that students at all levels of education could not tell real news from fake news. In one instance, 80 percent thought that a paid advertisement was a real news story.Fake news is spread by people who have a prejudice. They want to influence public opinion either for or against something or someone. It is important, then, for young people to recognize when they are being used and to be skeptical of online information.Traditional media, such as newspapers and television, are still the more credible sources of information. Reporters are professionally trained to look for facts, and editors have the job of making sure those facts are correct. However, if you get most of your information online, you have to be your own editor. In that case, the first thing to do is to look at the writer of a post. Is this person known to be credible? Does the site where you read the post have a prejudice? Next, look for other sources from mainstream media to confirm the information. In other words, by putting on your truth boots you wont be fooled into chasing lies.32Why is the quote mentioned in paragraph 1？ATo give a definition. BTo introduce the topic.CTo offer background information. DTo highlight the wisdom of Mark Twain.33What will always happen to young people with news around?AThey prefer to real news story. BThey are easily taken in by fake news.CThey can distinguish fact from opinion. DThey get worried about their education.34What is the authors suggestion from the text?AFight against prejudices.BAvoid traditional media.CBe an editor of your own.DBelieve in trained reporters.35What is the text mainly about?AThe truth about fake news.BThe influence of fake news.CProblems with online information.DSources of online information.第二节 (共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Do basic first AidBasic first aid refers to a temporary form of help given to someone who has been injured or has got sick due to choking, a heart attack, drugs or other medical emergencies. 36 .Care for the person who has just gone through serious damage, including both physical treatment and emotional support. 37 .
