“The water will turn to steam, which will power cars.” “Yeah, that’s a really cool idea.”
This conversation is
part of a lesson about technologies
that
reduce
planet-heating pollution. It was
lectured in a brand-new way, by Kirstin Milks, a science teacher at Bloomington High School. Climate
change is the story of today’s young
people’s lives. But
Milks says,“Our students need to know not just
the stuff we hear about in
the
news,but
also
the actual difference we can make in our shared future.” So, she
teaches in such an innovative way.
Creativity is at the core of
her lesson. After students
learn
the
basics of climate engineering, which
covers a range of strategies, including reflecting sunlight back into space and removing carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere, they’re asked to “come up with interesting wild ideas” to
slow global warming. In the
first round
of brainstorming, students imagined lots
of ways to
reflect light back
into the atmosphere, like
covering
the
desert
in shiny glitter (发光物). Next, students are asked to consider the potential limitations and risks to
their ideas. Take glitter in the desert, for example:“How are we going to make sure that the glitter doesn’t
get
eaten by the
rock pocket
mouse
or snakes?” Milks asks. The
student suggests making the glitter large and
smooth enough so it won’t be eaten by animals or otherwise harm them. For their final
assignment, students
present their concepts, including
their
anticipated benefits and risks.
Ben Kravitz, an assistant professor at Indiana University, who carefully watch the whole lesson, says,“The
neat thing
about
seeing all of these
ideas
come out of the classroom
is it’s not I
can’t do it. It’s we
can do
it. Humans, when
they
get
together, can do amazing things. And that’s what gives me hope.”
24. Why does Kirstin Milks lecture in an innovative way?
A. She’s bettering ways to power cars.
B. She’s inspiring students to address real problems.
C. She’s making science classes more accessible.
D. She’s helping students stay informed of climate change.
25. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Procedures of a lesson B. The core value of creativity.
C. Ideas of different students D. The key concept of solutions.
26. How is the last paragraph mainly developed?
A. By defining a concept. B. By quoting an expert.
C. By making a comparison. D. By providing an example.
27. Which best describes Milks’ way of teaching?
A. It ignores practical application.
B. It focuses on theoretical knowledge.
C. It encourages creative problem-solving.
D. It highlights the risks of climate change.

Solar eclipses (日食) happen when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. These events are
always spectacular. But total solar eclipses are extra special. One such eclipse was visible across large parts of
North America on April 8, 2024. During that time, sky watchers felt surprised at the view. They also took part
in scientific research.
The eclipse was a piece of exciting news for solar science. On April 8, the Sun neared its most active
phase when the Sun gave off more radiation and a lot of charged particles from its surface. Such solar storms
threatened satellites orbiting the Earth. They even disrupted power grids on the ground. These are what the
science pros found.
“Luckily, researchers now have more scientific instruments to study our star than ever before,” said
Kelly Korreck, who is an astrophysicist. “This provides a unique chance to learn about the Sun and its effects
on our planet and its atmosphere. ”
But science pros aren’t the only ones getting in on the fun. Citizen scientists are members of the public
who help gather observations and analyze them. “There is a lot of emphasis on citizen science and having
folks do solar science projects,” Korreck said.
Scientists hoped to recruit as many phones as possible, which would spread out over the 2,000-mile-long
and 100-mile-wide path of the April 2024 eclipse. Korreck said, “That will offer views of the solar shape
from a very large number of vantage points. And it’s up to citizen scientists to do it.”
Citizen scientists were able to take part without interrupting their view of the eclipse. They just started an
app on their phone and propped it up facing the Sun at least five minutes before the Moon passed in front of
the Sun. The app handled the rest. They could get to keep copies of the pictures as a souvenir. “That was a
good chance for citizen scientists to contribute to eclipse research,” Korreck said. That’s true whether they set
up a camera or installed an app.
28. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. The total solar eclipse was visible in the entire America.
B. The total solar eclipse has some impact on the Earth.
C. The Earth gives off more radiation during solar eclipses.
D. Sky watchers contributed a lot to scientific research.
29. What did Korreck think of citizen scientists?
A. They are enthusiastic. B. They are creative.
C. They are optimistic. D. They are essential.
30. What did the scientists want to get from citizen scientists during the total solar eclipse?
A. Useful points about the total solar eclipse.
B. As many phones as possible with apps installed.
C. Observations of the total solar eclipse from different angles.
D. More scientific instruments to help observe solar eclipses.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. What citizen scientists got from the eclipse research.
B. How citizen scientists got involved in the eclipse research.
C. How much time citizen scientists spent in taking pictures.
D. Why the total solar eclipse was a good chance for the scientists.
D
Are you eyebrow blind? TikTok users seem to think so—many have complained on the platform about
makeup wearers’ apparent inability to spot whether they’re blindly following makeup trends or wearing what
looks good on their faces. Though “eyebrow blindness” and other types of “beauty blindness” aren’t exactly
considered mental health trouble, people's tendency to follow trends—even when they look silly or take risks
doing so—is definitely a real phenomenon.
So, what does psychology say about trend following? First, following trends isn’t a sign of character
weakness or mental health trouble. Instead, says psychologist Pamela’B. Rutledge, it’s perfectly normal. The
reason for trend following relates to humans’ core need to belong to a social group and connect with others.
Multiple psychological frameworks argue that human connections are as important as basics like access to
food and shelter because humans evolved to rely on one another for survival.
But why do trends themselves have such a pull? “Our brains are hardwired to notice what’s unusual,”
Rutledge says. Thus, we notice outliers and attention-grabbers, making trends even more appealing for those
bold enough to follow them.
No one is exempt from following crazes, noticing trends, or signaling their real belonging to social
groups. But one group in particular is even easier to follow trends—even risky ones: Tweens, teens, and
young adults. As children start the road toward adult independence, they look for ways to express their
individuality. This can produce sometimes desperate attempts to prove affiliation( 隶属关系) with socially
credible in-groups and can fuel desire to stand out with the help of trends.
So, next time you put on makeup—or get dressed, order a meal in public, or purchase a vehicle—
consider that your decision may not be as personalized as you may think. “It’s really just an inborn response,
one that can be explained by our need to fit in with or stand out from the crowd.” says Rutledge.
32. According to the first paragraph,a beauty blind person might .
A. oppose makeup trends publicly
B. follow makeup trends uncritically
C. rely on social media for makeup advice
D. take risks with untested beauty products
33. What’s a primary motivation of trend following?
A. Financial profit. B. Social connection
C. Artistic expression. D. Character weakness.
34. Which can best replace the underlined words “exempt from” in paragraph 4?
A. free of B. subject to. C. exposed to. D. concerned about.
35. What might Rutledge think of trend following?
A. It’s a personalized choice.
B. It mirrors people’s mental health.
C. It results from lack of self-confidence.
D. It’s a natural response to social signals.
