19、 and mathematics. Goals Introduce new scientific topics, especially those not typically covered in traditional courses in high schools. Encourage lifelong learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Develop science reasoning skills and an understanding of the scientific research p
20、rocess. Prepare students to face challenges of college, career, and continuing education. Develop creativity, build self-confidence, and promote friendship among the youth. Program Overview The YSDE program uses a project-based learning model. Each research team consists of six tenth-grade students,
21、 one teacher, and one practicing scientist. Together the team investigates an area of current scientific concern. The program integrates in-residence experiences with continuing education activities conducted in the students and teachers school setting. YSDE begins with a five-day residential sessio
22、n in the center where students will learn principles of scientific inquiry. Each research team works with its scientist to plan an approach to its project. Session in residence allows YSDE members to participate in the magnificent outdoor natural laboratory provided by the surrounding national fores
23、ts. Then the teams return to their home institutions and continue working on research projects throughout the semester. YSDE concludes with a final session in residence where teams present their research. Program Features Physical Environment YSDE facilities include science laboratories, a computer
24、center, and arts and music studios. The area provides an outstanding natural laboratory for teaching and experimentation. Being separated from the usual disturbances of cities provides a nurturing atmosphere. Intensive (集中的), Cooperative Learning The residential part of YSDE offers near “around-the-
25、clock” learning opportunities in a challenging yet friendly setting. Cooperative learning encourages teamwork and cooperative skills, using science as a common language to allow students to learn from peers, staff, and visiting experts. Professional Partnerships YSDEs relationship with partner organ
26、izations helps complete the program. Partner organizations are selected and invited on their interest in developing project-based learning activities for students in high school. YSDEs partnerships with organizations like the Canaan Valley Institute and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory provi

Support from cooperative organizations. B When Brody, a 4-year-old Connecticut boy, was asked what wish he wanted to come true, his
30、 only dream was that he could be able to play outside. Brody was born premature (早产) at 27 weeks, which caused him to overheat and burn easily. That means he cant spend any time outside and hell get burn blisters (水疱) on his face even when he is driven to the hospital. Besides, there are a lot of th
31、ings he cant do. He has trouble walking and only began talking one year ago. Brody cant eat or drink and has to wear a backpack 24/7 that contains a pump that feeds him. “I cant even count the number of surgeries hes had since he was born,” Brodys mother said. “Hes spent probably half his life at th
32、e hospital.” When Make-A-Wish Connecticut, an organization that creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses, heard about Brodys request to play outside, they immediately jumped into action. “Its the most simple, most sweet wish, just to play outside but it seems to be the most
33、difficult to realize.” said Debbie Artinian, the manager of Make-A-Wish Connecticut. Artinian and her team determined that a temperature-controlled tent outside Brodys home where he could play and not be in the sun would be the best option. But they had to find a tent that could stand weather condit
34、ions like wind and snow and had the right material to block all UV rays. Luckily, Artinian found a company based in the United Kingdom that could design and make the tent. Make-A-Wish Connecticut learnt that Brody loves the beach, even though he is not able to go into water because of his backpack.
35、So they filled the tent with water toys and a kids pool filled with balls to make Brody feel as much as possible like hes out at the beach. Brody got his first look at the tent earlier this summer. “When he walked out of the door and I saw his face, it was just everything,” said Artinian. “Now when
36、Brody says Can I go out and play?, his mom can say, “Yes.” “Brody is now enjoying spending nearly all his time “outside” in the tent. Its hard to make life completely normal for Brody, but Artinian and her team tried to make it as normal as they could. 34. What can we learn about Brody? A. He cant b
37、e exposed to sunlight. B. He cant stand on his feet. C. He cant be given surgeries any more. D. He cant communicate with others. 35. Make-A-Wish Connecticut thought Brodys dream was _ A. inspiring and heart-warming B. simple but incredible C. difficult and unachievable D. challenging but worthwhile
38、36. Why does the author mention the beach in Paragraph 4? A. To show that Brody is a boy who loves nature. B. To prove that the design company was responsible. C. To suggest that Artinian and her team were considerate. D. To emphasize that the skill in building the tent was the latest. 37. What does
39、 the story mainly tell us? A. One good turn deserves another. B. A helping hand makes a difference. C. All things are difficult before they are easy. D. Tough life experience may result in success. C Surrounded by the sea off the coast in Mid-Norway, lies an island called Myken. This small island ha
40、s about ten permanent residents, and for more than 50 years has been supplied with electricity via a 32-kilometer undersea cable (电缆). A break that appeared in the cable last autumn resulted in two months without power, so the island community started looking into a better way of sourcing their elec
41、tricity. “Myken is far out at sea, so as far as possible it should be taking care of things itself,” says Kyrre Sundseth, who is a hydrogen (氢) researcher in Norway and also the project manager for Mykens energy project. “This is why we want Myken to become entirely self-sufficient in energy. It is
42、also important to take the environment into consideration,” he says. Much points to the idea that the solution may lie in a Hydrogen plant, specifically tailored for small islands. The “raw materials” for hydrogen production come from nature itself in the form of the sun and wind. Researchers have c
43、alculated that energy costs will be lower by using hydrogen production than the undersea cable option. And it is possible to store energy in the form of hydrogen for longer periods. This means that supplies will not have to rely on a lot of expensive batteries or external energy sources, even during
44、 periods when the sun isnt shining, or the wind isnt blowing. The Myken project has attracted several technology companies. They are currently working on a pilot project. The pilot involves experiments on the feasibility (可行性) of the hydrogen system in which electricity is generated from solar and w
45、ind sources. The electricity can be used immediately, but during periods when all the energy generated is not required, the spare energy can be used to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen can be stored in a tank, and used later to generate electricity. The pilot will help researche
46、rs know more about how effectively the system will work in the hydrogen plant. Since the island has a distillery (酿酒厂), where the distillation (蒸馏) process relies on energy, a hydrogen plant on Myken offers an even greater environmental benefit. Spare heat from the hydrogen system can also be used f
47、or the heating part in the distillation process. “In Norway alone there are about 300 island inhabited all year round by small populations,” says Kyrre Sundseth. “All of these islands may be candidates for using this technology. In global terms were talking about 10,000 similar islands.” 38. Why is
48、a hydrogen plant suitable for Myken? A. It is perfect in size for small islands. B. It can send electricity to faraway places. C. It will restore local natural environment. D. It provides green and sustainable energy. 39. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4? A. The study on the energy storage
49、. B. The test on the hydrogen system. C. The experiment on the raw materials. D. The research on the innovation of the pilot. 40. According to the passage, a hydrogen plant will _. A. produce purified seawater B. prove more technically reliable C. contribute in more than one way D. benefit from the distillation process 41. What does Kyrre Sundseth think of the project? A. Promisi
