24、Do you believe that you aren’t smarter than 3-year-old Alexis Martin, one of the youngest members of the high IQ club Mensa?

Preschooler (学龄前的) Alexis’ IQ is 159, which is only one point lower than Stephen Hawking’s. Doctors say the average IQ of a person is about 100.

She learned to read at the age of 2. She reads at a fifth grade level and has taught herself Spanish on her parents’ iPad!

Now, she is a member of the Mensa Club, which only accepts people with an IQ within the top two per cent of people in the world!

Alexis’ father, Ian Martin, said he first realized Alexis was special when she was 12 months old. She could recite (背诵) bedtime stories. “We’d be driving around in the car and she would recite her bedtime stories from the night before. She didn’t just recite them, and she recited them exactly.”

Alexis’ father would try to trick her and say that her story went a different way, but she always corrected him.

Most 12-month-old children take their first steps on their own and most 18-month-olds can only name a small number of objects and body parts, and follow simple two-step questions.

Even though Alexis is a genius (天才), her parents are faced with lots of challenges like how to teach her to make friends of her own age.

“Will she go into kindergarten early? We are kind of hesitant (迟疑的) because we do want her to get to that social world,” Ian said.

【4】 What would Alexis do when her father said her bedtime stories went a different way?

25、When your alarm clock rings and you drag yourself out of bed, you probably wonder: Why on Earth does school have to start so early?

Fortunately, there is a new law to back you up or better still, science. A law in California, passed on Oct 13, requires that public middle schools begin classes no earlier than 8:00 am and high schools start no earlier than 8:30 am. The law will go into effect by July 1, 2022.

Starting school at 8:00 or 8:30 in the morning may not sound like too big of a change, but it could mean one more hour of sleep for students who used to start school at 7:30 or even earlier.

“The effect of that one hour is something they will be feeling as 40-year-old adults,” Sumit Bhargava, a sleep expert at Stanford University, told The New York Times. He said that not having enough sleep can affect students’ mental health and increase the risk of obesity and diabetes (糖尿病).

In the short run, students’ school performances should improve almost immediately. Kyla Wahlstrom, a researcher at the University of Minnesota’s College of Education, found that students who have enough sleep are more quick﹣minded in class and get better grades.

Some might say that getting students to go to bed earlier could have been a much easier solution than changing the school timetable across an entire state. But according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, teenagers go through biological changes when they enter puberty (aged from ten to nineteen), which makes it difficult for them to fall asleep before 11:00 pm. So when school starts at 8:00 or earlier, they can hardly get the ideal 8.5-9.5 hours of sleep that experts suggest they need to do their best in the daytime.

This is why when the new law came out, its author, Anthony Portantino, said, “Generations of children will come to appreciate this historic day and our governor for taking bold (brave) action.”

【1】When should public high schools start classes according to the California’s new law?

A．No earlier than 7:30 a.m.

B．No earlier than 8:00 a.m.

C．No earlier than 8:30 a.m.

D．No earlier than 9:00 a.m.

【2】What can we learn from Bhargava’s words?

A．People change the amount of sleep with their age.

B．Lack of sleep affects adults more than children.

C．Sleep problems are one of the leading causes of diabetes.

D．Lack of sleep could lead to health problems.

【3】What do we know about teenagers’ sleep patterns?

A．Less sleep is needed when they enter puberty.

B．Ideally, they need eight hours of sleep a night.

C．They may have difficulty falling asleep before 11:00 p.m.

D．They often wake up at midnight due to biological changes.

26、Wildfires, heatwaves and floods... recent climate disasters in many parts of the world once again stress one issue—the effects of climate change. Carbon emissions is the main enemy of it. Thus, the whole world is making an effort to achieve a carbon-neutral world.

Being carbon neutral means taking away the same amount of carbon dioxide（CO₂）from the air as you put into it. It is part of a goal worked out by UN Climate Change in 2015. China, the world’s largest producer of carbon dioxide, has promised to achieve carbon neutral before 2060.

There are two main ways to achieve carbon neutral. One is to balance the carbon dioxide given off with the amount that is taken in by forests. Turning farmland into forests, planting trees in cities and towns, modernizing agriculture, restoring wetlands and building nature parks all help. The other is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by using non-fossil fuels. China, the biggest automobile market worldwide, is taking a technologyically open-minded approach to explore innovative technologies for green mobility such as electric and fuel-cell vehicles. Tesla and other homemade electric cars have a rapid development in China in recent years.

There will be a carbon dioxide emissions peak before achieving carbon neutral. Then the emission goes down without reaching to the peak again theoretically. Most countries in the European Union saw their carbon emissions peak in around 1980. For the United States and Japan, the peak occurred in around 2005. They hope to realize carbon neutrality by 2050: Actually, the emission didn’t have a straight-line decline and rebounded in the USA later. These nations have had 45 to 70 years to realize an unhurried transition to low carbon, while China is expected to reach carbon dioxide emissions peak before 2030. Its strong will set a good example.

Carbon neutral requires attention not only from governments, organizations or companies. Frankly speaking, everyone should be responsible for carbon neutrality. Individuals can do a lot to lower carbon emissions and push for stronger public awareness of climate issues, such as planting our own vegetables, using cold water when washing clothes and so on.

【1】________ influences the climate change.

A．The wildfire

B．The heatwave

C．The flood

D．The carbon emission

【2】According to the passage, ________ can help achieve carbon- neutrality.

①using both sides of paper

②protecting the wetlands

③farming in the traditional way

④driving electric cars like Tesla instead

A．①②③

B．①②④

C．①③④

D．②③④

【3】Which picture shows the carbon dioxide emissions of the USA? ________

A．

B．

C．

D．

【4】What’s the best title of the passage? ________

A．Results of Heavy Climate Emissions

B．Plans for the Future Carbon-neutrality

C．Benefits of Achieving Carbon Neutrality

D．Changes of Carbon Emissions all over the World

27、Even though she’s quite young, Drew Barrymore can be a Hollywood legend (传奇). She was born on February 22, 1975, in California. Being from a family that produced great actors, she quickly found her way into the spotlight (聚光灯).

When she was 11 months old, she made her first advertisement on TV. She made her first movie at the age of 2. Five years later, she acted Gertie in Steven Spielberg’s famous film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial(1982).

However, it wasn’t all roses and sunshine when Barrymore was growing up. She was drinking wine by the time she was 9, smoking marijuana (大麻) at 10.

Most kid stars in Hollywood fail to become stars as adults. And most of the time, once they’re out of the spotlight, they stay out. But Drew Barrymore doesn’t.

As she was growing older, Barrymore started to realize that life is more meaningful than dangerous actions in the films. She started to build a career in 1997. She has made a series of successful films since then, including Charlie’s Angels (2000) and 50 First Dates (2004).

“In my life, there is darkness and drama, and I have yet to explore some of that in my work life. I just want to challenge (挑战) myself and prove that I can do more.”

Actually, anyone who’s not familiar with her disordered childhood might find it hard to believe she’s such a sweet person now. Like many of the characters she plays in her comedy, Drew is easy-going and laughs a lot. In 2007, she was on the cover of People magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People issue.

“Life is very interesting … in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths,” Drew said.
