学校:___________姓名： ___________ 班级： ___________ 考号： ___________

一、阅读理解
Many people stereotype( 对……刻板印象 )the college years as four years’ worth of
partying. But that’s not true! Many students use their time to create things. Here are some of
their amazingly smart inventions.
A Fire Extinguisher That Uses Sound
Created by Seth Robertson and Viet Tran, engineering students at George Mason
University, this sonic fire extinguisher uses low -frequency sound waves to put out fire. At just
the right frequency — between 30 and 60Hz ，the movement of sound waves creates a vacuum
(真空), cutting off the fire’s oxygen supply.
A Marker That Tells You When to Apply Sunscreen How many of you have gone to the
beach and forgotten to reapply sunscreen? Two University of Waterloo students—Rachel
Pautler and Derek Jouppi—invented Suncayr, a marker that tells you when it’s time to
reapply your sunscreen. The ink turns color in the presence of UV light, so when you find a
purple mark on your skin, you know it’s time to reapply it.
A Device That Turns a Flat Surface into a Computer
Thanks to Pranav Mistry and Liyan Chang, students at MIT, you may be able to wear a
computer in the future. They developed a device called SixthSense. You keep a smartphone in
your pocket and wear a little camera/projector around your neck. The smartphone and
camera/projector work as a team to sense your finger movements, process information, and
project information onto a surface—be it a wall, a table, or the palm of your hand.
A Universal Tape Dispenser
Ever find yourself with a roll of tape in your teeth, using your mouth to tear a piece
while attempting not to break a tooth? Cooper Union students Deanna Kovalein and Jessica
Marshall created a device called Snip It that fits any tape roll and cuts any type of tape. With
the push of a button, the tape gets pressed against the sharp edge, which cuts it.

When students from Lithgow visited wetlands near their primary school, they quickly
picked up on a problem: there was nowhere for turtles.
“A bunch of students said there are no logs or rocks here, so where are they going to
bask (晒太阳 )?” says Associate Professor Ricky Spencer from Western Sydney University.
The question was raised as part of a project in which year 5 and 6 students were attempting to
understand their local environment and what it needed to thrive ( 兴旺). The students had just
learned that in spring, turtles have to bask on a rock or log to create eggs.
The students are now conducting research and developing a proposal to present to their
local council for the introduction of new basking areas, such as logs or human -made
platforms. “That is pretty powerful, for year 5 and year 6 students to actually know how to
make change,” Spencer says. “We want kids to understand why conservation measures are
important.”
Led by Western Sydney University, the Turtles in Schools program aims to encourage an
informed future generation that will take care of the environment. It is currently in a trial
phase, with select New South Wales schools hosting turtles in classrooms and visiting nearby
wetlands. By 2023, up to 10 turtle tanks will be installed ( 安装) in schools. By 2024, the
program will be available to all year 5 and 6 classrooms across Australia.
By guiding experiments on topics such as growth rates and behavioural observations,
and introducing schools to activities in their local wetlands, Spencer says this program could
encourage students to actually carry their education forward to their day -to-day life.
Presbyterian Ladies’ College has been investing in facilities including a turtle pond for

six years. They will be available for nearby schools involved in the Turtles in Schools
program. “We want to connect students to the real world, to develop values to look after the
environment. Our students become familiar with understanding our relationship to the natural
world. We are connected to it. We rely upon it. It isn’t something dispensable,” the principal,
Dr Paul Bergis, says.
4．What did students from Lithgow notice when they visited wetlands?
A．Wetlands are shaded from sunlight.
B．Turtles lack areas to get sunlight.
C．Turtles create eggs on logs or rocks.
D．Artificial platforms are introduced to wetlands.
5．What can we know about the Turtles in Schools program?
A．It informs students of turtles’ future generation.
B．It sets up many turtle tanks in wetlands.
C．It selects year 5 and 6 students across Australia.
D．It helps students relate education to daily life.
6．What does the underlined word “dispensable” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Unnecessary. B．Impossible.
C．Mysterious. D．Powerful.
7．What is the best title for the text?
A．Rocks or Logs Help Turtles to Thrive in Wetlands
B．Humans Build a Close Bond with the Natural World
C．Teaching with Turtles Turns Students into Conservationists
D．Hands-on Programs Arouse Students’ Interest in Education

It’s picking season at Christian Nachtwey’s organic orchard ( 果园) in western Germany
and laborers are loading their vehicles with ripe apples. But Nachtwey’s farm is also
obtaining a second harvest: Many of the apple trees grow beneath solar panels that have been
producing electricity, while providing the fruit below with much -needed shade.
“The idea is simple,” said Nachtwey. “To protect the orchard, without reducing the
available growing surface and in particular maintaining production. On top of that, there’s the
solar electricity being generated on the same land.” Large -scale solar installations on
farmland are becoming increasingly popular, as farmers seek to make the most of their land
