Olivia’s invention ‎ costs $25 a test, can be stored and transported without refrigeration and determines if a person is infected within 30 minutes, according to the contest’s site.‎ ‎  Olivia was inspired to tackle the global issue after watching helplessly from home asmore than 10,000 people died from the recent epidemic that ravaged through West Africa, she told CNBC. She was particularly dismayed by the fact that, while early interventions can improve survival rates, current detection methods are costly, time-consuming and require complex tools and constant refrigeration, she noted in her project’s description.‎ Olivia got guidance from her science research teacher and direction from past research according to Greenwich Time, and looked to detection mechanisms that have proven to work with other diseases, including HIV, Lyme disease and yellow fever.‎ ‎“We have to work together to find answers to the enormous challenges that threaten global health, our environment and our world,” she told Greenwich Time.‎ The Connecticut teen, who hopes to one day become a physician and work with an aid organization like Doctors Without Borders, was named the Google Science Fair winner after the competition had been reduced to 20 contestants （参赛者）from across the globe. The fair is open to students in most countries between in the ages of 13 and 18.‎ Olivia hopes her success will inspire other girls interested in science and computers.‎ ‎“I would just encourage girls just to try it in the beginning, remind them that they don’t have to feel naturally drawn or feel like they have a special talent for math or science,” she told CNBC.‎ ‎25.What can be typical of Olivia’s Ebola detection method?‎ A. Infective      B. Complex       C. Time-consuming       D. Cheap ‎26.What can be learned about other current Ebola detection methods?‎ A. They need to be conducted in cold storage B. They must gather a lot of liquid samples C. They can also detect other deadly viruses D. They have proved threats to global health ‎27.Whom is the Google Science Fair Designed for?‎ A. Physician       B. Adults        C. Teenagers         D. Girls ‎28.What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Practice Makes Perfect B. Interest Is The Mother Of Success C.A Teen Girl Calls For A Special Talent For Science D. Teen Wins Huge Google Prize For Her Ebola Detection C ‎ Charles Dickens is often thought of as one of the greatest British writers. February 7 marked the 200th anniversary of his birthday. Yet for many, his language is old-fashioned and his stories often improbable. So why do so many people know and read Dickens today?‎ ‎    One reason is the British government’s insistence that every child studies a Dickens novel at school. Alongside William Shakespeare, Dickens is on every English literature school reading list.‎ ‎    His stories, though often long by today’s standards, are great moral tales. They are filled with colorful characters.‎ Earlier this month, a ceremony was held in Portsmouth, where Dickens was born. Prince Charles said at the ceremony, “Dickens used his creative genius to campaign passionately(热情地) for social justice… His characterization is as fresh today as on the day it was written.”‎ ‎    His books stand out from many other writers because of his insight into human nature. Dickens, like Shakespeare, tells us truths about human behavior. They are as true in the 21st century as they were to his readers in the 19th century.‎ ‎    Readers have returned to Dickens’ books again and again over the years to see what he has to say about their own times.‎ ‎    No surprise then that it was Dickens whom Britons turned to during the economic crisis in the last couple of years. Dickens helped them make sense of a world that was rapidly falling apart. The BBC adapted one of his less well-known novels, Little Dorrit, into a popular television drama that introduced many Brits to the novel for the first time. A dark story about greed and money, it was the perfect illustration of bad times.‎ ‎    As long as Dickens’s novels have something to say to modern audiences, it seems likely that he will remain one of Britain’s best-loved writers.‎ ‎29.What makes Dickens a best-loved writer in modern Britain?‎ A. His novels’ realistic significance to modern readers B. His novels’ being popular among young people C. The British government’s requiring his novels for study D. His novels’ being as valuable as Shakespeare’s ‎30.What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A. It’s better to read Dickens’ in bad times B. Dickens had a good understanding of human nature C. Human nature seems worse in bad times D. The writer quite appreciates Dickens’ language ‎31.Which of the following is TRUE about Little Dorrit?‎ A. It is one of Dickens’ best-known novels B. It helps people out of economic crisis C. It talks about love and money D. It provides a perfect picture of had times ‎32.Dicken’s novels are especially instructive for those who care about         .‎ A. English literature             B. school textbooks C. human behavor                  D. William Shakespeare’s D ‎ Success doesn’t begin until you begin the walk down the way towards your goals. And your walk down the way always begins first with a baby step. Why do we call them baby steps? Are they really anything more than our next step down life’s way? ‎ Baby steps are the first steps we take as an act of faith. We see others stepping out and we want to show our ability to walk by following them. As we grow, we continue our development by taking extra baby steps. Sometimes we fall; sometimes we fail. After that, all steps become an act of faith; we just become more practiced. If you say to yourself “I don’t want to make a fool of myself” or “I’d better be good at this”, you’ll probably never take the baby steps towards your goals and end up lying in your own self-pity. ‎ As a culture, we focus on results. We think about every risk that must be taken to reach our goals. There are few people who are excellent performers of any tasks the first time they try them. They fail and succeed. Then, they build upon their abilities learned each time. They practice their skills and use their talents through baby steps before they are ready to prove them to the whole world. ‎ So, learn to take those baby steps to reach the goals before you. Know that you can depend on God to show you the way. As you become more experienced, your baby steps become a walk, then a jump, and finally a sprint. That’s how our baby steps lead us through the marathon of life. ‎ ‎33. In the third paragraph, the writer expresses the view that　　　. ‎ A. we can’t expect to succeed without working hard at first B. adults should learn from babies in dealing with hard tasks C. we must make full use of our skills in order to get rewards D. baby steps play the key role in leading us towards success ‎34. The underlined word “sprint” in the last paragraph probably means“　　　”. ‎ A. slow rush　　　　　　　B. sudden stop C. hard climb      D. fast run ‎35. What’s the writer’s tone in the text? ‎ A. Light-hearted.     B. Regretful. ‎ C. Encouraging.      D. Concerned. ‎ 第一节 (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。（请将答案填在答题卷上）‎ E Kids’ health: Four steps for fighting stress Everybody gets stressed time to time.   36    Some ways of dealing with stress -like screaming or hitting  someone一don't solve (解决) much.
