一、阅读理解(共16 小题；每小题 3分，满分 48 分）

A new electronic bandage(绷带) uses flashes of light to kill bacteria. No antibiotics(抗生素)

needed. The bandage has small LED bulbs that produce a type of high-energy light called

ultraviolet-C (UVC) when it is put into use. UVC light is often used by doctors and dentists to

sterilize(消毒) medical equipment. However, using UVC to sterilize wounds has been a challenge

because it requires a source of energy. Typically, these bandages needed heavy batteries, but the

new bandage is powered by wireless technology, without the need for heavy batteries. This allows

the bandage to be more comfortable and flexible to wear and results in fewer used batteries in the

trash.

The electricity for the bandage comes from a “powering coil(线圈),”which is a piece of fabric

with copper wires in it. It is similar tọ how electric toothbrushes get their energy when placed in

their charging cradles, according to Stephen Beeby, who led the team that created the bandage.

While the team didn't invent wireless power or light-emitting bandages, they are the first to

combine these technologies to create a UV antibacterial system that operates entirely wirelessly, as

explained by Mahmoud Wagih, a co-worker of Beeby. The bandage may not look novel from the

outside, but inside it contains a flexible strip with tiny LED lights that emit the UV light. When

applied, the bandage periodically flashes UV light onto the wound's surface to effectively remove

hidden bacteria.

Amirhossein Hajiaghajani, a wireless power researcher, sees potential in this band age but

notes some challenge for its widespread use. The bandage needs to be within a certain range of its

wireless energy source, the powering coil, which is currently about 20 to 30 centimeters.

Hajiaghajani believes that this range is limited and suggests that expanding it will be a key focus for

future development.

3、What is a unique achievement of Beeby and his team?

A. Inventing wireless power.

B. Creating light-emitting bandages.

C. Making a bandage novel both inside and out.

D. Pioneering a wireless antibacterial bandage.

4、What does Hajianghajani say about the widespread use of the bandage?

A. It faces a challenge. B. It proves beneficial.

C. It is highly unlikely. D. It raises deep concerns.

Spearmint the seal has an addiction. Being too overly friendly to humans around Plymouth,

England, she's been sent to kick her human habits.

Spearmint was first seen in Caws and Bay, Cornwall, almost seven months ago, and was found

hanging out with tourists and swimmers, as well as paddlers. She was even known to have visited a

local outdoor pub.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) put the North Atlantic

gray seal into a treatment program, where rescuers were “working around the clock to get her fit

and healthy” enough to be released.

After rehab, the organization hopes to release her into a remote area of Scotland where she

won't be so tempted by people. The Rame Wildlife Rescue Network has also provided assistance,

raising more than $6,500 for the seal's relocation.

Jessica Collins, a medical worker at British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR), initiated the

rescue. She says Spearmint is an endangered seal that has become used to human contact. “Despite

receiving treatment at a young age ,to change her human-related behavior is far from easy.

Spearmint's interest in humans grew once released as she was fed regularly by tourists,” Collin s

explained. “After multiple relocations we found Cawsand Bay, where we were able to control the

situation better and keep people away.”

The RSPCA plans to either reintroduce Spearmint to the wild or place her in permanent

care in a shelter intended for seals. “Give wild animals space and avoid feeding them. We

hope the message carries through beyond Spearmint's story,” the RSPCA said in a statement.

5、What is Spearmint's addiction according to the passage?

A. Visiting local pubs. B. Swimming in Cawsand Bay.

C. Hanging out with swimmers. D. Enjoying being with humans.

6、What does “rehab” in paragraph 4 probably refer to?

A. Relocating the seal. B. Changing the seal's personality.

C. Treating the seal's human habits. D. Helping the seal grow stronger.

7、What does Jessica Collins think is a major challenge to BDLMR's work?

A. Tourists' constant feeding.

B. The seal's need for medical attention.

C. Absence of early treatment for the seal.

D. Spearmint's constant moving when released.

8、What does RSPCA encourage people to do according to the last paragraph?

A. Build shelters for seals. B. Leave wild animals on their own.

C. Keep seals in permanent care. D. Avoid taking wild animals' land.

My 15-year-old boy is a high achiever. He is very bright, pursuing everything he does with

devotion and determination. And he is a great kid; honest, kind, faithful and caring.

Like a lot of kids who are high achievers, he is a perfectionist and very easy to fall into anxiety.

That is manifested in his study, and other things he does as well. For example, he loves tennis but he

is often worried about losing in the game. Now he has to stop competing because the pressure he

puts on himself is becoming unhealthy. He still plays, but playing socially rather than competitively

means that it’s an outlet for him rather than a source of stress.

He does not manage stress well. He puts so much pressure on himself to the point of worrying

himself sick over just about every assessment. And he gets so negative about it, everything I say to

him is met with negativity, every suggestion with a response that it won’t work, and honestly it’s

depressing and tiring.

To help my son, I had a patient conversation with him, and he finally followed my advice about

physical exercise to ease stress. Whenever he was under a lot of pressure, I would run with him for

half an bour and do some push-ups to relax the pressure. Gradually, he became less nervous in the

later exams and his scores became more and more stable.

Pressure from grades and perfectionism can be really hard to manage when it comes to

schooling. As kids, what they need is effective communication and sincere encouragement. So I

have always told and shown my son that we’re proud of him, and that pride doesn’t merely depend

on top grades.

9、Which of the following best explains “manifested” underlined in paragraph 2?

A.Exchanged. B.Explored. C.Achieved D.Reflected.

10、Why does the author’s son keep playing tennis?

A.He is a high achiever. B.He’s easy to fall sick.

C.He hopes to release stress. D.He wants to win the game.

11、What does the author mainly tell us about his son in paragraph 3?

A.His son fails to handle stress properly. B.His son becomes tired of stress.

C.His son is good at some sports. D.His son is doing well at school.

12、What is the author’s advice for his son?

A.Taking up a new hobby.
