If so, what would you want to ask them?For Tan Fanglin, a 15-year-old girl from No. 2 High School of East China Normal University in Shanghai, her dream of meeting top scientists has already come true. In October 2019, she attended the World Laureates Forum for a second time, which had attracted 44 Nobel Prize Winners and 21 other world-class award winners. Tan was by far the youngest participant among the scientists invited to be at the meeting of the worlds sharpest minds.Her discovery about the relationship between the Fibonacci sequence (斐波那契数列) and Bzout numbers (贝祖数) has won her many prizes in youth innovation competitions both in Shanghai and elsewhere in China. Her finding has been praised by the famous Canadian mathematician, Professor Rankin, who has been studying the same theme for five years but with no conclusions.From a very young age, Tan has always been fascinated by mathematics. This is largely because her father, who teaches mathematics in East China Normal University, has a profound impact on her. According to Xu Jun, the head teacher, Tan doesnt take after-school classes or too many extra exercises either. Her mastering of Advanced Mathematics and her good grades in school are thanks to the right study method. Her mother told Guangming Daily that Tan always treats studying and life with a positive state of mind so she can feel happy while studying.Attending this forum enabled Tan to get more inspiration from top scientists. She even got the opportunity to talk with Gero Miesenbock, the 2019 Warren Alpert Foundation Prize winner. She asked Professor Miesenbock what he considered were the best personal qualities for conducting scientific research. Miesenbock encouraged her not to lose her passion and love for what she does. He said that accepting failures is crucial for researchers. He stressed that people all knew that even Thomas Edison went through hundreds of unsuccessful attempts before finally inventing the light bulb. The words made Tan feel inspired and she promised to keep her curiosity and interest in mathematics and over come any obstacles in her research.24.

An Outstanding Girl Tan FanglinC youre planning to go on a diet，or if you suffer from serious conditions like diabetes(糖尿病)，knowing exactly what and how much youre eating is essential. In this day and age, we have calorie and nutritional calculators even on our smartphones, but they act only as guides, whereas Panasonics revolutionary new device, CaloRieco, actually analyzes the food on your plate and provides accurate information about in just a few seconds.Youve probably used calorie calculators before, and you know that they only offer general information. For example, a calculator will tell you the average number of calories in a hamburger, but it cant tell you exactly how many calories are in the hamburger. The same goes for nutrients like protein or fats. And this is what makes the new CaloRieco so special.Displayed at a recent tech show, CaloRieco is a high-tech device that uses light reflection technology to determine the nutritional values of almost any food and also provide accurate calorie estimates.All you have to do is put your plate in the box-shaped device and wait between10 and 20 seconds for it to analyze all the food on there.Once its done analyzing the various ingredients in your meal, CaloRieco displays the number of calories, as well as the nutritional content on an LED display. According to Panasonic, the device is able to recognize the vast majority of foods, except soups and very dark dishes.CaloRieco can also connect to your smartphone via an app, and send all the data about analyzed foods to your handheld, so you can access it whenever you need.Panasonic said that its outstanding invention is aimed at dieters and diabetes sufferers, both of which make up a sizable market. Unfortunately, youll have to wait a bit longer to get your hands on your very own CaloRieco, as the device presented at the show is just a prototype(样品)which needs to be improved. Its scheduled to hit the market sometime in the next few years, but the price remains a mystery.28. What is special about CaloRieco?A. It is a high-tech device working as a guideB.

Its promising.D. Its portable.DWelcome to the world of multitasking a place where the measure of a person is how many jobs they can perform at the same time. In fact, if experts are to be believed, multitasking is a disastrous（灾难性的） idea.One of the opponents of multitasking is Dr. Clifford Nass, a professor at Stanford University. “People who multitask frequently are less able to pay attention; theyre worse at managing their memory.” he said. In his opinion, the loss that we get with multitasking is harmless in some situations, for example, part of doing business in the digital world: but you cant do serious work like writing, thinking or solving an important problem this way. You do worse even as you think youre doing better. All the time the research points to a simple fact: the brain cannot cope. When you stop midway through composing a report to check an email, you force your brain to stop and regroup. It is like pressing the pause button during a movie, meaning the film takes longer to watch.And as for Dr. Nass, the problems extend beyond the brain. Young people who frequently multitask are not as socially and emotionally healthy as those who dont. They just feel more emotionally satisfied and the feeling is so good and they are bound to desire it again. Todd Oppenheimer, a writer said “Weve become a very short-term society and dont reward people for taking a lot of time on something.” He fears we may end up losing the next generation of great thinkers. “Its really unfortunate because the long-term challenges of our world environmental issues, financial issues require people to think wisely about the long-term consequences of what they do. And its no coincidence that the kind of people who do think long-term dont multitask.”32According to Dr. Nass, multitasking _.Acan be performed using digital toolsBcontributes to memorizing various thingsCmay result in losing the next generation of great thinkersDmakes the performance emotionally affected only33From the passage, we can tell _.Athe loss that we get with multitasking is harmlessBwe mistakenly believe that were doing better by switching between tasksCdoing multitasking does harm to us in every areaDfor every task you add to your multitasking, you can finish your goal quicker34Which of the following is a multitasking addict(成瘾者)?A.You turn your cellphone to silence when youre out to dine with friends.B. You watch from start to finish without distraction when playing a DVD.C.You have your office desk covered with paperwork from various unfinished projects.D.You feel that when you try to do too much at once, the result always suffers.35The author mainly wants to tell us _.Ait takes longer for us to become a great thinkerBthe less you switch, the better you doCit is more efficient to do things all in a mixed wayDwe shouldnt be lazy if we want to accomplish many tasks第二节 七选五 (共5小题；每小题2 分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Having a happier life is something we all always long for.
