Research Science Institute
It is the first cost-free summer program of its kind.During this six-week program，students will dive deeper into the world of science and engineering by experiencing the entire research cycle.In this program，students attend classes conducted by famous professors and prepare written and oral presentations to present their research.
Program in Math for Young Scientists
This program is a six-week intensive mathematics program designed for students across the globe.Unlike common programs，it offers a great deal of independence for students to choose their own schedules and decide what they want to study.Besides learning，there is also"mandatory（強(qiáng)制的）fun time built into the weekly schedule so that students are able to have non-math related activities.

2．Studies estimate that we pick up our smartphones between 58 and 96 times a day.If my phone is by my side，then I'm constantly checking it.Last year，I decided to make a change：I signed up for the Phone Breakup Challenge.The goal isn't to get rid of your phone，but to develop a more intentional way of using it.
The first few days were easy enough.Before unlocking my phone，I must answer three questions first： "What for？Why now？What else？" I kept the questions on my lock screen.On Day 7，I had lunch without my phone for company.It was pleasant.I realized that，by always having my phone on hand，I was preventing myself from sitting still with my thoughts.
One of the biggest lessons of the challenge was that willpower wasn't enough，but having multiple barriers to make it less appealing and accessible did help.Day 20 was the long awaited 24-hour no-phone period.It was much easier not to check my phone when it was totally off instead of in another room.I noticed that a feeling of calm had spread within me.
It's true that phones are fun and filled with my favorite people.There's nothing wrong with mindless distraction.The problem is when that becomes a habit.Not constantly checking my phone helped reduce that annoying habit of texting and talking at the same time or pulling out my phone when being with someone I love hanging out with.
Now，I am pleased to see I really do use my phone less.When I get home，I leave my phone in my bag by the door instead of bringing it from room to room.I now also enjoy activities that I used to run out of time for，like going for neighborhood walks or trying new recipes.
（1）Why did the author take part in the Phone Breakup Challenge？
A．To lead a life without using a phone.
B．To improve her phone-using habit.
C．To do research about the use of phones.
D．To distract herself from social media.
（2）What can we learn about the author's first few days of the challenge？
A．She had a hard time ignoring her phone.
B．She turned her phone off to avoid using it.
C．She locked her phone with a new password
D．She enjoyed keeping her phone away.
（3）What is a better way to keep away from our phones？
A．Make it hard to access it.
B．Find fun from other activities.
C．Ask others for supervision.
D．Build strong self-confidence.
（4）What message does the author convey in the text？
A．Mindless distraction is a part of our lives.
B．Reducing screen time is not so difficult.
C．Spending less time on our phone is beneficial.
D．Technology makes it hard for us to concentrate.組卷：3引用：2難度：0.3 -
3． Around the world，rivers seem to be raging.While catastrophic flooding of Pakistan's rivers has left tens of millions without homes，a drought unseen for 500 years has squeezed Europe's major waterways almost dry.There is little disagreement about what's going on：climate change is causing both rainfall and droughts to intensify.The question now is how to manage those climate-changed waterways and，specifically，what role dams should play in fighting against the kinds of disasters.
Advocates say water storage dams will become more essential to mitigate extreme water flows by absorbing water during flooding and releasing it in times of drought.Dams，they say，can help combat climate change by producing renewable hydropower （水力發(fā)電） that is cleaner than fossil fuel energy.
However，criticisms have long centered on the negative impact most dams have on biodiversity and river ecosystems.Not only do the vast amounts of concrete used to build large dams leave huge carbon footprints，there is also much evidence that greenhouse gas emissions from dams are often far greater than previously thought.Increasingly a scientific case is also being made that dams actually worsen both floods and droughts.
Now，more dam developers are turning to "run-of-river" technology，in which the river's water flows continuously through a hydropower station without a reservoir （水庫） to store it.Such projects are generally considered more environmentally friendly，but they do not allow for water to be managed according to weather conditions.
Then there are those who say we should stay away from dams，and look for ways using nature-based solutions.Many ecologists say that protecting wetlands，for example，should be a priority，since those ecosystems act as natural （海綿） for floodwaters within a river basin. "We have turned river basins into economic machines that only serve people and not nature，and this creates more problems，like droughts and flooding." says Herman Wanningen，the founder of the advocacy group Dam Removal Europe. "We have to learn to cooperate with nature and not against it anymore."
（1）What does the underlined word "mitigate" refer to in para2？
A．Ease.
B．Motivate.
C．Block.
D．Store.
（2）Why do critics oppose the construction of dams？
A．It needs a large amount of concrete.
B．It destroys local ecosystem.
C．It may produce negative effect.
D．It gives off harmful gases.
（3）What can we infer from the last paragraph？
A．Dams have long lost their storage function.
B．The starting point of our solution should serve nature.
C．Flooding and droughts can help promote economy.
D．Protecting wetland is a once-and-for-all solution.
（4）What's the best title for the text？
A．Dams' Traditional Role：Pros and Cons.
B．Disaster Relief：Working with Nature.
C．Building More Dams：A Way Out？
D．Worsening Climate Change：Take Action!組卷：1引用：2難度：0.3
