Jessica Burks’ home is full of opportunities. Packaged slime(黏土) in a variety of colors and pleasant smells lines one wall of living room, and, in the designated “slime room” workspace in the back, bottles of fragrance oil are arranged in rows, next to glue and an industrial-size kitchen mixer. But it’s not the amount of slime in Burks’ house that shocks people, she said. It’s that her 15-year-old daughter, Samantha Zumwalt, is in charge of their enterprise. The mother-daughter team run Samantha’s Slime Shop at home and the demand for their products helps them earn six figures a year. Samantha’s slime, offered in a rainbow of colors and a range of textures(质地), is in high demand. Since she started her business, she’s made more than 24,000 sales on Etsy. The customers are generally young — between 9 and 12 years old, Burks said, though some adults and teens buy slime, too. Some customers buy Samantha’s slime because they say playing with it is calming. Others want it because it gives them something to do with their hands. Last year, Nichole Jacklyne, a social media blogger, who reviews slime and provides DIY lessons for hundreds of thousands of followers, reviewed Samantha’s product in a video. After Jacklyne’s video, orders poured into Samantha’s shop, Burks said. However, Samantha’s mom was initially resistant to the girl’s slime ambitions. It took months for Samantha to convince her mom to buy the key materials to make slime. “I told her no for months,” Burks said. Finally, Burks gave in. She had been laid off from her job as an accountant, and the two dove into the slime business. Now, Burks is proud of Samantha for running the business so well, “I hope she can meet all of her business goals — whether that’s still running the slime enterprise, or buying another business out, or starting a new business,” she said. “Whatever her dreams are… is where I want her to be.” 【1】Why does the author specifically describe Jessica Burks’ home in Paragraph 1? A.To stress the amount of slime there. B.To present how special her home is. C.To introduce Samantha’s slime business. D.To show the business opportunities of slime. 【2】What do we know about Samantha’s slime from the text? A.It only wins popularity with kids. B.All adults buy it just for recreation. C.Social media contributes greatly to its sales. D.It helps Samantha get more followers on the Internet. 【3】How does Jessica Burks’ attitude to Samantha’s slime business change? A.Worried→Favorable. B.Doubtful→Objective. C.Negative→Cautious. D.Disapproving→Supportive. 【4】What is the passage mainly about? A.Samantha’s slime business is a success. B.Samantha promotes her slime online. C.Playing with slime puts people at ease. D.Jessica Burks quits to run her slime business. |

Could it be time to say goodbye to Earth? According to NASA, a giant asteroid is heading for Earth next month. Well, when we say heading for Earth, we actually mean its heading for Earth’s vicinity（周边）, passing within 3,908,791 miles of our planet. Officially classified as 52768 (1998 OR2), the near-miss has been predicted to occur on April 29. According to NASA, the asteroid is traveling toward us at 19,461 miles per hour and is about half the size of Mount Qomolangma. The space agency first discovered the object in 1998 and said it would be “large enough to cause global effects” if it were to hit Earth. But despite being classed as “potentially hazardous （有危险的）”, scientists said it is not on the list of potential future Earth impact events. Currently, the agency has identified 20,000 Near-Earth Objects. Of these, only a few are considered potential impactors, which NASA tracks via their automated Sentry System. The near-miss 1998 OR2 might not pose a threat, but many scientists agree it’s only a matter of time before a huge asteroid collides with Earth. Cardiff University scientist Ian McDonald told BBC Today, “Doomsday asteroid hits aren’t confined to the past. There are always rocks flying through space. One of these will hit us and it will have pretty dramatic effects.” The last Earth impact was in 2013, and terrifyingly nobody saw it coming. Dubbed（被称为）the Chelyabinsk meteor, it exploded just 30 kilometers from Earth’s surface, shattering windows and rocking buildings for over 500 square kilometers, according to the BBC. This impact injured around 950 people in Russia, but it just goes to show how precarious life on Earth is and how it could be devastated（毁坏的）by larger future impacts. 【1】What can we learn about 1998 OR2? A.It is as large as Mount Qomolangma. B.It is heading for Earth at 3,908,791 mph. C.It is likely to occur at the end of March. D.It is estimated not to be a threat to Earth. 【2】What would McDonald probably agree with? A.There is little chance that the doomsday asteroid hits Earth. B.A mega asteroid could unavoidably threaten Earth one day. C.Potential impactors could be tracked and destroyed. D.Mega asteroids could collide with Earth more often in the future. 【3】By mentioning the Chelyabinsk meteor in the text, the author intends to________. A.compare it with the upcoming 1998 OR2 B.present the dramatic effects of Earth impacts C.show how frequent Earth impacts are D.prove that little can be done in the face of an Earth impact 【4】The underlined word “precarious” in the last paragraph probably means “_________”. A.uncertain B.unprepared C.precious D.diverse |

Our ability to collect data gets far ahead of our ability to fully use it, yet data may hold the key to solving some of the biggest global challenges facing us today. Take, for instance, the frequent outbreaks of waterborne diseases as a consequence of war or natural disasters. The most recent example can be found in the country, where roughly 10,000 new suspected cases of cholera(霍乱) are reported each week — and history is filled with similar stories. What if we could better understand the environmental factors that contributed to the disease, predict which communities are at higher risk, and put in place protective measures to stop the spread? Answers to this question and others like it could potentially help us prevent a catastrophe. As a big data scientist, I studied data from wide-ranging, public sources to identify patterns, hoping to predict trends that could be a threat to global security. Various data streams are important because the ground truth data (such as surveys) is often delayed, limited, incorrect or, sometimes, nonexistent. For example, knowing the incidence(发生率) of mosquito-borne disease in communities would help us predict the risk of mosquito-spread disease such as dengue, the leading cause of illness and death in the tropics. However, mosquito data at a global (and even national) level is not accessible. To address this gap, we’re using other sources such as satellite pictures, climate data and population information to forecast the risk of dengue. Specifically, we had success in predicting the spread of dengue in Brazil at the regional, state and city level using these data streams as well as clinical observation data and online searchers that used terms related to the disease. While our predictions aren’t perfect, they show promise. Similarly, to forecast the flu season, we have found that online searches can complement(补充) clinical data. Because the rate of people searching the internet for flu symptoms often increases during their beginning, we can predict a sharp increase in cases where clinical data delays. All of this shows the potential of big data. The information is there; now it’s time to use it. 【1】What do the examples in paragraphs 2 and 4 show? A.Big data is still hard to get and use. B.People aren’t skilled at dealing with big data. C.Big data is not always an imagined method. D.Catastrophes might be prevented with big data. 【2】According to the text, survey data . A.is a main form of multiple data streams B.is an effective way to collect information C.is sometimes unreliable and unavailable D.is a timely alternative to multiple data streams 【3】What does the underlined part “this gap” in paragraph 5 refer to? A.The lack of big data on mosquitoes. B.The lack of different data streams. C.The risk of an outbreak of a disease. D.The ignorance of how a disease spreads. 【4】What’s the best title of the text? A.How do we collect and use data? B.What are the challenges facing us now? C.How can big data help save the world? D.What is the answer to preventing catastrophes? |

How to Protect Yourself from the Sun It can be fun to get out and enjoy sunshine, and the vitamin D provided by the sun can help with your overall health. 【1】 Overexposure to the sun can cause wrinkles, sunburn, and skin damage. Too much sun can also increase your risk for skin cancer. A quality sunscreen can help protect you from the sun. In addition to this, your clothing choices can keep you from being too exposed. You should also work on avoiding the sun during daylight hours as much as you can. Using Sunscreen Choose a sunscreen with a safe SPF. You should wear sunscreen each time you go out during the day, even when it’s overcast. Make sure you select a sunscreen with a strong enough sun protection factor (SPF) to protect you from UV rays. Apply sunscreen 20 to 30 minutes before leaving your home. Do this each time you leave your house during the daytime when the sun is out. 【2】 You should also make the effort to reapply sunscreen every 2 hours so it stays effective. Apply the correct amount. You need at least 45 milliliters (1.5 fl oz) of sunscreen to cover all exposed skin on your body. Protecting Yourself with Clothing Wear sunglasses. 【3】 Make sure to check the label of a pair of sunglasses before you buy it. Any sunglasses you wear should block 99 to 100% of UVA and UVB light. Wear a hat with at least a 3-inch brim. This will cover areas like your scalp, where it is difficult to safely apply sunscreen. 【4】 You should go for long-sleeved shirts and longer pants to protect yourself from the sun. Avoiding the Sun Seek shade between 10 am and 4 pm. 【5】 You’re most likely to get skin damage during this time of day. If you’re going to be out in the sun, seek shade from trees, patios, and other objects whenever possible. A.Wear clothing that covers more skin. B.Smooth sunscreen over rather than rubbing it. C.However, too much sun can be damaging. D.Sunglasses should be worn year-round, and not just in the summer. E.During warmer months, longer clothing may be uncomfortable. F.During these hours, the sun is at its peak. G.This is especially important if you’ll be exposed to the sun for more than 30 minutes. |
