Wolfram Alpha Created by Stephen Wolfram, Wolfram Alpha () can calculate things that it would take a hundred or more individual websites to do. It uses a set of ways to answer questions directly that you type into the search box, which is different from other websites.

When Andraka was 14, a family friend died of the disease, and this affected him deeply. This kind of cancer is particularly serious because there is no test you can have done to find it in the early stages. By the time standard tests determine you have the disease, it is often too late. Realizing that this was the case, Andraka decided to try to develop a test that might catch problems at the earliest stages. The road ahead looked difficult for Andraka. He was still a high school student, and he wanted to create something that no one else had done. But Andraka read endlessly about the disease, wrote a proposal for his idea, and sent it out to 200 cancer researchers. Only one professor, Dr.Anirban Maitra, responded positively. Dr.Maitra agreed to work with Andraka on his idea, giving him guidance and access to a laboratory. The next big reward for Andrakas perseverance was winning the grand prize at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. This great award is given to young innovators who have developed a worldchanging idea. Developing the test is likely to take many years, but Andraka hopes the test will eventually improve peoples lives and maybe save them. Jack Andraka is not alone as a young innovator. After all, there were 1，499 other contestants for the Intel award, and all of them had groundbreaking ideas. For Andraka, having a family that loves science and encourages creative thinking gave him an advantage. But the key for Andraka is that reading, research, and discovery are just plain fun, and the chance to improve the world around him in the process makes it even better. ()24. Why did Andraka decide to develop a test for pancreatic cancer? A. His friends encouragement. B. An upsetting experience. C. His extensive reading. D. An important test. ()25. What difficulty did Andraka meet at the beginning of his research? 4 A. Lack of positive replies from experts. B. Heavy pressure from his schoolwork. C. Little access to research equipment. D. Great need of money to develop a test. ()26. Which of the following leads to Andrakas award winning? A. The competition with other contestants. B. His determination to improve the world. C. The support from his family. D. His passion for discovery. ()27. What can we learn from Andrakas story? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Hard work leads to success. C. One good turn deserves another. D. Failure is the mother of success. C Once upon a time, science fiction was just a style among other styles. There were crime stories, there were horror stories, there was literary fiction, and there was science fiction. But today science themes dominate these other styles. Its difficult to think of much modern crime, horror or “serious” fiction that doesnt involve science. And its not just books. With every second movie and computer game having a scifi element, science fiction seems to have controlled our entire entertainment culture. Its clear that if we want to define science fiction, we should relate it to the role that science plays in our lives. Although some experts have claimed to be able to trace scifi back to ancient times, it is more reasonable to find it in initial form in the 19th century, when industrial societies arose. One of the features that set industrial societies apart from other kinds was the increasing part that science played in everyday life. Factories with vast machines turned out huge quantities of goods, which were transported by trains, motor vehicles and ships all over the world. Cities were built on the back of technology, with electricity in homes and hospitals helping everyone to lead healthier, more convenient lives. All of these changes had great effects not only on peoples real lives, but on their imaginative ones. Writers began to describe these changing physical and mental landscapes, eventually giving science fiction a large and devoted fan base of especially young readers, who found that it spoke to their curiosity about the future that science would create. But scifiction reflected fears about science more than it did hopes. These typical early science fiction novels might be a UK novel like H. G. Wells The War of the Worlds(1897). With great skill, Wells played upon the fears of technology by imagining Earth under threat by a civilizationthat of men from Mars. The science fiction of today expresses the impact of the computing revolution, robotics and our environmental challenges, while it is less concerned with “little green men from Mar” and other themes of past scifiction. Given that science, technology and polities are always intertwined, contemporary science fiction often has a great deal to say about power. Many recent novelslike American Cory Doctorows Little Brother(2008) are concerned with government and security service “conspiracies(阴谋)” against the people, particularly as the revelations of whistleblowers like Edward Snowden sink in. This can give scifi writing a “skeptical” feel. This underlines one of the features that remains constant between the beginnings of the empire of science fiction and its state today. As then, so now: We want to read about how fearful the future will be, not how it will be a 5 paradise. ()28. According to the first paragraph, we know that _ A. science fiction used to take the leadership in literature B. horror story and literary fiction have initiated science fiction C. modern fiction reflects the influence of science fiction D. science fiction is the dominant literature style at present time ()29. What caused science fiction to appear in the 19th century? A. The curiosity of young readers about the future. B. The changes that the industrial revolution brought about. C. Peoples stretched imagination affected by their real life. D. Peoples fears about science rather than hopes. ()30. According to the passage, what do we know about the early science fiction? A. It aroused peoples curiosity of science on daily life. B. It intensified peoples worries about the social problems. C. It promoted peoples understanding of the true value of science. D. It conveyed an atmosphere of imaginary anxieties to people. ()31. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. Despite the content, the theme of science fiction remains the same. B. The fear of outer space attack has long been a worry among people of times. C. The appearance of science fiction has caused misunderstanding among people. D. Science fiction is weakening government power implemented on people. D Professional courses, such as Masters in International Business or MIB, have been taken by many students in the last two decades.
