Smart Kids Festival Events

“Smart Kids” is a collection of one hundred events scheduled in October.

This year, it is experimenting with Pay What You Decide (PWYD). That is, you

can decide to pay for what you want or can afford, after you have attended an

event. You can pre-book events without paying for a ticket in advance. Here are

some of the director's picks.

Walk on the Wild Side

Not ticketed, Free

Join storyteller Sarah Law to hear science stories about animals. Along the

way you'll meet all sorts of beautiful creatures and discover life cycles and the

food chain. It's best suited to children aged 5—9. Children under 8 must be

accompanied by an adult.

Introduction to Waves

Pre-book, PWYD

Subjects range from sound waves to gravity waves, and from waves of light

to crashing waves on the ocean. Mike Goldsmith explores the fundamental

features shared by all waves in the natural world.

Science in the Field

Not ticketed, Free

This storytelling night features a scientist sharing his favourite memories of

gathering first-hand data on various field trips. Come along for inspiring and

informative stories straight from the scientist's mouth. Join Mark Samuels to find

out more in this fun-filled workshop.

Festival Dinner

Pre-book, ￡25 per person

Whether you want to explore more about food, or just fancy a talk over a

meal, join us to mark the first science festival in London. Which foods should

you eat to trick your brain into thinking that you are full? Find out more from

Tom Crawford.

Jerome Karle and Isabella Lugoski met in their first physical chemistry class

at The University of Michigan in 1940. Jerome Karle was in his first year of

doctoral work, and Isabella Lugoski was in her last year as an undergraduate(大学本科生), and they were laboratory partners. However, they didn't get along

well at first.

Isabella Lugoski looked back on the past, “I walked into the physical

chemistry laboratory and there was a young man at the desk next to mine with

his equipment all set up running his experiment. I didn't think I was very polite

about my question. I asked him how he got there early and had everything all

set up. He didn't like that. So we didn't talk to each other for a while.”

Their relationship got going as they competed for the top grade in that

course and they started to build connection because both of them were interested

in chemistry. They married in 1942. By 1946, both of the Karles had earned

doctorates in physical chemistry, and, after a period of time at The University of

Chicago working on the Manhattan Project, they moved to Washington DC to

join the United States Naval Research Laboratory.

Each specialized in a different aspect of X-ray crystallography(晶体学):

Jerome focused on developing equations(方程式) that could determine how

atoms(原子) were arranged inside complex molecules, while Isabella ran practical

experiments to test how well the equations worked. Working together, they

created what is now called the direct method for determining molecular

structures(分子结构), which has allowed scientists to effectively study and copy

complex organic molecules to continue further study.

Jerome Karle was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1985. Although

he was disappointed that the Nobel committee had ignored Isabella's contribution

to that work, she was unfazed. At that point, she had already won more awards

and prize money for her experimental work than he had.

did Isabella Lugoski do when she first met Jerome Karle?

blamed him for his being late.

set up all his equipment for him.

asked him a question impolitely.

observed his experiment silently.

made Jerome Karle and Isabella Lugoski become connected?

common interest in chemistry.

wonderful marriage since 1940.

pleasant first talk in a laboratory.

successful cooperation in courses.

is Paragraph 4 mainly intended to show?

Karles' encouraging further study.

Karles' good teamwork in science.

the Karles worked with others.

the Karles won the Nobel Prize.

of the following best explains the underlined word “unfazed” in the

last paragraph?

“For all the technological wonders of modern medicine, from gene editing

to fetal(胎儿的) surgery, health care—with its fax machines and clipboards(写字夹板)—is often stubbornly old-fashioned. This outdated era is slowly drawing to

a close as the industry catches up with the revolution of artificial

intelligence(AI). And it should happen earlier,” argues Eric Topol, a heart

doctor keen on digital medicine.

Dr. Topol's vision of medicine's future is optimistic. He thinks AI will be

particularly useful for repetitive tasks where errors arise easily, such as selecting

images, examining heart traces for abnormal symptoms or recording doctors'

words into patient records. In short, AI is set to save time, lives and money.

Much of this is imaginary—but AI is already defeating people in a variety

of narrow jobs for which it has been trained. Eventually it may be able to

diagnose and treat a wider range of diseases. Even then, Dr. Topol thinks,

humans would watch over the rules, rather than being replaced by them.

The author's fear is that AI will be used to deepen the assembly line(流水线) culture of modern medicine. If it awards a “gift of time” to doctors, he

argues that this additional benefit should be used to extend the time of

consultations, rather than simply speeding through them more efficiently.

The Hippocratic Oath holds that there is an art as well as a science to

medicine, and that “warmth, sympathy and understanding may be more

important than the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug”. That is not just a

cliché: the patients of sympathetic physicians have been shown to do better. As

Dr. Topol says, it is hard to imagine that a robot could really replace a human

doctor. Yet as the demand for health care goes beyond the supply of human

carers, the future may involve consultations on smart phones and measurement

monitored by chat robots. The considerately warmed stethoscope(听诊器), placed

gently on a patient's back, may become history.

A new officer of the Huntington Park Police patrols (巡逻) local parks 24

hours a day seven days a week. He doesn't need rest, coffee breaks, a salary or

medical insurance, and that is because it is a Robocop.

The main function of the Robocop is to scan and film the surroundings.

Besides cameras with night vision that report 360 degrees, it also has a distress

button which is located here, so if somebody needs assistance or wants to

contact the communication center, he or she can do it by way of that distress

button. There are people that are monitoring on the other end.

This newest police employee is self-charging. It's easy to program it and

make changes to the software if necessary. Its maintenance(维护) costs are

roughly 75 thousand dollars a year. It travels the entire park. It is a

programmed path, but the police are able to change the path and adapt it.

The Robocop can record the license plates (车牌) of passing cars and check

them against an online database of stolen cars. It can also help locate a lost

iPhone because it is able to determine a smart phone's MAC address. The police

can see from the robot if something wrong happens and then come and figure it

out.

The Robocop can't replace its human handlers. The whole goal is to give

the police more time to do things machines can't do. The police have been

having some concerns about the safety of parks and want an extra set of eyes

that will help patrol a 24/7. The Robocop's creators believe this model known as

K5 is best used for providing security at public places like hospitals, parking

lots, parks and airports. So far, it seems to be working out just fine.

is the distress button used to do?

the Robocop.

as an alarm device.

icate with visitors.

r the neighbourhood.

of the following can best describe the Robocop?

l but dangerous.

igent but inexpensive.

ss and multifunctional.

nable and good-looking.

does the Robocop record the license plates of passing cars?

direct traffic. build a database.

prevent accidents. find lost cars.

can we infer about the Robocop in the last paragraph?

has limitation in use.

has been widely used.

creators need more support.

security is still under test.

Characteristics of an excellent scientist

The Free Dictionary defines(定义)a scientist as a person having professional

knowledge on one or more sciences, especially natural science or physical

science. 16 Let's look at some characteristics of an excellent scientist.

Curiosity.

17 Scientists such as Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse

discovered things mainly because they wanted to know how things worked. If a

scientist doesn't have the drive to ask questions or even wonder, then he/she

never gets to the first stage of the scientific process.

Patience.

18 There are very few jobs that take longer than this one. Even if you

think you have received some education on science, you still have a lot of

scientific research to do. If you're an instant-gratification(即时满足的)type of

person, this may not be the best choice for you.

Ethical(道德的)qualities.

In order to truly discover and use knowledge for the greater good, a

scientist must have a desire to improve people's life as well as the environment,

since they are linked and they can affect each other in the long run. A scientist

must report findings honestly regardless of personal or outside commercial(商业的)interests. Sticking to an old belief contradicted(反驳)by evidence is dishonest.

19

Working habits.

An excellent scientist even takes notes of the smallest observation, keeping

it in mind and recording it. 20 He/She also needs to communicate thoughts

on paper and verbally. Networking skills connect him/her with colleagues

working on similar projects where he/she may discover something new.

ng a scientist takes a long time.

excellent scientist must be very curious about things.

also defines a scientist as someone who uses scientific methods.

r, that belief shouldn't be changed without powerful evidence.

/She can work well alone or in groups, depending on what's needed.

make discoveries in human knowledge, you have to think differently.

of the main places that many scientists work in is the research laboratory.

stand up. He stretched his arms up toward the ceiling and then reached his

hands down to touch his toes. His body tingled (感到刺痛) as he moved.

Bryan ran to the kitchen to tell his mom what had happened. “Well, at

least we know that video games haven't 32 your mind,” Mom said. She

chuckled(轻声地笑), but Bryan still felt very serious. “I think I'll take a break

from video games and go outside 33 ,” Bryan said. And that's just what he

did.

第二节 (满分25分)

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

When I was 9 years old, I used to cut grass for Mrs. Long. The elderly

lady paid me very little, for she hadn't much money. But she did promise me,

“When Christmas comes, I shall have a present for you.” I spent much time

wondering what it would be. The boys I played with had baseball gloves,

bicycles and ice skates, and I was so eager to acquire any one of these that I

convinced myself that Mrs. Long intended to choose from them.

“It would hardly be baseball gloves,”I reasoned with myself. “A woman

like Mrs. Long wouldn't know much about baseball.” Since she was old and

weak, I also ruled out the bicycle. How could she handle such a large item?

On my last Saturday at work, Mrs. Long said, “At Christmas you come to

the door and collect the present.” These words clinched(确定) my guess. Since

she was going to have the present in her house and handle it herself,

unquestionably she was giving me a pair of ice skates.

I became so convinced of this that I could imagine myself upon the skates

and the excitement they brought me. As the cold days of November arrived and

ice began to form on the ponds, I began to try my luck on the ice. “Get

away from that ice!” a man shouted. “It's not strong enough yet.”

As Christmas approached it was with difficulty that I restrained(抑制)

myself from reporting to Mrs. Long and demanding my present. On the 21st

day of December, icy weather froze all the ponds so that boys who already had

ice skates were able to use them. My longing to possess mine became

overpowering.

So the next day I could control myself no longer and presented myself at

Mrs. Long's door. “I've been waiting for you,” she said with a smile.

Paragraph 1:

She set me in a chair and handed a package to me.

Paragraph 2:

On Christmas morning, I could not wait to open the package.

长难句分析:

1.原句 Their relationship got going as they competed for the top grade in that

course and they started to build connection because both of them were interested

in chemistry.

分析 本句为并列复合句。and连接前后两个并列分句,as they competed for the

top grade in that course和because both of them were interested in chemistry是两个状语从句;其中as引导的是时间状语从句,because引导的是原因状语从句。

句意 在竞争那门课的最高分时,他们的关系开始发展,并且开始建立联系,因为他们都对化学感兴趣。

2.原句 Working together, they created what is now called the direct method for

determining molecular structures(分子结构), which has allowed scientists to

effectively study and copy complex organic molecules to continue further study.

分析 本句为主从复合句。Working together是现在分词短语作状语;what is now

called the direct method for determining molecular structures是一个宾语从句,what在从句中作主语;which further study是一个非限制性定语从句,which在从句中作主语。

句意 他们共同努力,创造了现在所谓的测定分子结构的直接法,这使得科学家能够有效地研究和复制复杂的有机分子,以便继续深入研究。

C

◎语篇解读 本文是科普类说明文。文章主要介绍了Topol医生对医学未来的展望是乐观的,他认为人工智能将用于容易出现错误的重复性任务,比如选择图像、检查心脏的异常症状或将医生的话记录到病人的就诊记录中。简言之,人工智能旨在治病救人、节省时间和金钱。最终人工智能会被更广泛地用于诊断和治疗疾病。

8.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的health care—with its fax machines and

clipboards(写字夹板)—is often stubbornly old-fashioned可知有传真机和写字夹板的医疗保健是顽固的传统,已经过时且不能跟上时代的步伐。故选C。

9.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的He thinks AI into patient records.可知,他认为人工智能可用于执行那些重复、易产生错误的工作,诸如选择图像、检查心脏轨迹异常迹象和录入病历等,在某些领域能够代替人的工作。故选D。

10.A 词义猜测题。根据That is not just a cliché中的not just及上下文语境可判断cliché含有贬义,而选项中只有A项为贬义。cliché意为“陈词滥调”。故选A。

11.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的the patients of sympathetic physicians

have been shown to do better可知,医生的同情和理解不容忽视。故选B。

【高频词汇】

y n.外科;外科手术 rnly adv.固执地;顽固地 ed adj.过时的 tion n.改革;革命 stic adj.乐观的;积极的 keen on 喜爱;渴望 short 简言之

长难句分析:

原句 He thinks AI will be particularly useful for repetitive tasks where errors

arise easily, such as selecting images, examining heart traces for abnormal

symptoms or recording doctors’ words into patient records.

分析 本句为主从复合句。thinks后为省略了that的宾语从句;where errors arise

easily是一个定语从句,修饰先行词 tasks,where在定语从句中作状语。

句意 他认为人工智能对于那些容易出现错误的重复性工作特别有用,比如选择图像、检查心脏轨迹是否有异常症状或将医生的话记录到病历中。

D

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了机器人警察能够扫描和拍摄周围环境,可以巡逻当地公园而不需要休息,以及具有通过记录车辆车牌来寻找被盗车辆、追踪丢失的iPhone等功能,最适合执行医院、停车场、公园和机场等公共场所的安保工作。

12.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中Besides cameras with by way of

that distress button.(除了可以360度显示的夜视摄像头外,它在这里还安置了一个遇险按钮,所以如果有人需要帮助或者想要联系通讯中心,他或她可以通过遇险按钮来完成。)可知遇险按钮被用作报警装置。故选B。

13.C 推理判断题。根据第一段A new because it is a Robocop.(亨廷顿公园的一名新警察每天24小时,每周七天巡逻当地公园。他不需要休息,不需要喝咖啡,不需要薪水,也不需要医疗保险,因为他是机器人警察。)可知Robocop不知疲倦;以及第四段The Robocop figure it out.(机器人警察可以记录过往车辆的车牌,并与被盗车辆的在线数据库进行比对。它还可以帮助定位丢失的iPhone,因为它能够确定智能手机的MAC地址。警察可以从机器人身上看到是否有什么问题发生,然后来把它弄清楚。)可知Robocop可以记录车辆车牌来寻找被盗车辆、追踪丢失的iPhone以及监测周围变故,是多功能的。故选C。

14.D 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句The Robocop can record the license

plates(车牌) of passing cars and check them against an online database of stolen

cars.(机器人警察可以记录过往车辆的车牌,并与被盗车辆的在线数据库进行比对。)可知机器人警察会记录过往车辆的牌照,以寻找被盗的车辆。故选D。

15.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句The Robocop can't replace its human

handlers. The hings machines can't do.(机器人警察不能代替人类操作者。使用它的全部目标就是使警察们有更多时间做机器不能做的事。)可知机器人警察在使用上有限制。故选A。

长难句分析:

原句 Besides cameras with night vision that report 360 degrees, it also has a

distress button which is located here, so if somebody needs assistance or wants

to contact the communication center, he or she can do it by way of that distress

button.

分析 本句为并列复合句。so连接两个表示因果关系的并列分句;第一个分句中with night vision 和that report 360 degrees都是定语,修饰cameras;which is

located here是一个定语从句,修饰先行词a distress button,which在从句中作主语;第二个分句中er是一个条件状语从句。

句意 除了可以360度显示的夜视摄像头外,它在这里还安置了一个遇险按钮,所以如果有人需要帮助或者想联系通讯中心,他或她可以通过遇险按钮来完成。

第三部分 写作

第一节

One possible version:

Dear Chris,

I'm Li Hua, a senior high school student. Having read the advertisement

that our website is looking for an English nework editor, I'm writing to apply

for this position.

First of all, not only am I enthusiastic about current affairs, but also I take

a great interest in journalism. So I think I can do the job well due to my

knowledge of journalism. What's more, I worked as a reporter for our school

newspaper last year, which will surely help me do the job better. More

importantly, I have a good command of English. I won first prize in the English

writing competition in our school.

In conclusion, I'm convinced that I am qualified for the job. Looking

forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

第二节

One possible version:

Paragraph 1:

She set me in a chair and handed a package to me. She said to

me,“Thanks for cutting grass for me. Because I didn't have much money, I

didn't pay you money. I have promised to give you a present, so it is time for

you to get your present.” I was so excited that I wanted to open it right now,

but Mrs. Long stopped me and said, “You can't open it until Christmas

morning. Can you make it?” “Of course, Mrs. Long,” I replied.

Paragraph 2:

On Christmas morning, I could not wait to open the package. To my

excitement, it was a brand new pair of ice skates which I was eager for. I

couldn't control myself and went to the frozen pond. I skated on the ice with

the other people. As I skated on the ice, I thought of Mrs. Long. How kind she

was to send me such a present! She must have observed me for a long time

and knew what I wanted so much. It was a better present than much money.

[写作指导]

本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者给Long夫人修剪草坪,虽然她经济状况不好,还是承诺给我圣诞节礼物。而且她从平时的观察中看出我想要的是什么,并最后送给了我。续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:她让我坐下,递给我一个包裹,所以应该写我拿到包裹之后发生的事。要详细描述我跟Long夫人之间发生了什么、

怎么处理包裹等。第二段开头是:圣诞节到了,我迫不及待地打开了包裹。本段应该写我打开包裹,看到礼物之后的感受和表现。
