A 9-year-old child prodigy(天才儿童)from Belgium is more than a decade ahead of his peers as he’s set to graduate from college next month,according to a new report.
Laurent Simons,who is studying electrical engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology,is set to finish his degree by December,CNN reported.
The young genius will then go for his PhD in electrical engineering,while also working for a degree in medicine.
Prestigious universities like Cambridge,Harvard around the world have already reached out to recruit Laurent,but his parents,Lydia and Alexander Simons,wouldn’t say where the youngster plans to pursue his next degree.
Laurent’s grandparents were the first to recognize he had a gift,his parents told CNN. “They noticed something very special about Laurent,” Lydia said. Then his teachers confirmed he was no ordinary student. “They told us he is like a sponge,” Alexander told CNN. The absorption of information is no problem for Laurent.
Laurent comes from a family of doctors—but his parents are still grappling to explain how he absorbs knowledge so quickly.
“I ate a lot of fish during the pregnancy,” Lydia joked.
Sjoerd Hulshof,an education director for the electrical engineering bachelor’s program at the university,told CNN that Laurent is “simply extraordinary.” “Laurent is the fastest student we have ever had here,” he said.“Not only is he hyper intelligent but also a very sympathetic boy.”
The university has allowed Laurent to complete his studies faster than others — which Hulshof said is “not unusual.”
1.What does the underlined word “Prestigious” most probably mean? A.Respected and admired. B.Meaningful and expensive. C.Ideal and unforgettable. D.Valuable and luxurious.
2.Who first discovered that Laurent Simons was gifted? A.His parents. B.His teachers.
C.His grandparents. A.intelligent C.extraordinary
D.His peers.
B.sympathetic D.stubborn
3.Which of the following doesn’t describe Laurent Simons?
4.We can learn from the passage that .
A.Laurent will continue his schooling for his PHD in Eindhoven University of Technology B.Eindhoven University of Technology absolutely lies in Belgium
C.the reason for Laurent’s being smart is that his mother ate enough fish before giving birth to him D.besides electrical engineering,Laurent is also interested in other science fields

(2023重庆北碚区高二上期末)
Logan Ober,a senior at Rancho Cotate High School in Rohnert Park,California,was given an open-ended final project last year from his computer science teacher Kristi McWilliams.One day Logan pointed to a drawer in McWilliams’ class,filled with broken laptops—all considered garbage,and asked if he could try fixing one of those.Of course she agreed.What McWilliams didn’t expect was that the 17-year-old came back a couple days later with three completely repaired,working computers.“Amazing,” McWilliams says.“I think he knows more about hardware than I do.”
Although Logan looks like the typical teenager,he is a computer talent with a desire to give.Since that project,Logan estimates he’s fixed and donated about $30,000 worth of computers,including MacBooks and PCs.He says he does it because he enjoys it and it reduces e-waste.
E-waste,abandoned electrical or electronic devices,is a growing problem across the world.It has bad effects on people and the environment.Giving away the computers to someone in need prevents them from harming the environment,Logan says.Plus he gets to brighten someone else’s day.A computer can open up more possibilities for children and teenagers,he says.MacBooks can cost upward of $1,000 and are unaffordable for many students.
Logan does all the repairs on the carpet of his bedroom floor—the mess drives his parents crazy,but they’re supportive.Logan’s dad,Kristopher Ober,says you can find monitors,laptops,tools and parts lying across his son’s room.“I’m really proud of him,” his dad says.“He’s looking to give back to the society.I just think it’s wonderful for someone young like him to do that.”
5.How did McWilliams feel when Logan repaired the broken laptops successfully? A.Regretful. B.Surprised. C.Doubtful.
D.Annoyed.
6.What problem does e-waste cause according to the passage? A.Taking up too much space. B.Costing large amounts of money. C.Driving human beings crazy.
D.Doing harm to health and surroundings.
7.What is the distinguishing feature of Logan? A.Humor. B.Strong character. C.Independence.
D.Heavy responsibility.
8.What message does the author seem to stress in the passage? A.Computers can brighten teenagers’ future. B.Teenagers ought to give back to the society. C.Joining an open-ended project is a must for teenagers. D.Parents’ support is very important in teenagers’ achievements.

How to test best
It’s back to school,which means it’s back to tests.It might also mean it’s back to being majorly stressed out.It does have to be this way,but a good preparation really reduces the stress. 1 Schedule study time.
Trying to do all studying the night before a test makes it impossible to master all the material.It will also make you tired and stressed on the day of the test. 2 Schedule study time each day and strictly follow your schedule.
Concentrate while studying.
3 Also,make sure you have all the supplies you need to study,so you don’t lose focus.While studying,be sure to make regular short breaks.Get a snack,take a bathroom break or play a quick computer game when it feels as if your brain is about to explode.
4
Studying with a parent or friends can help you understand the material better and learn from one another.Have every person or pair take a part of the material,and come up with questions to quiz the group.Keep the group small.Have everyone take turns as the group leader,who will assign the material,and make sure that conversation stays on what is being studied.
Don’t forget last-minute preparation.
Have your sharpened pencils and other things in your bag ready the night before the test.It’s important to get a good night’s sleep and then eat a healthy breakfast the next morning. 5 Also,studying all the way up until test time can only create more anxiety.Stop studying an hour beforehand. A.Form a study group. B.Stay calm before the test.
C.Here are some simple ways to prepare thoroughly for tests. D.This will help you store important information. E.This way,both your mind and body are fully prepared. F.Before studying,clear your desk so you can concentrate. G.So it’s wise to prepare for a test several days before the test.

1.A 词义猜测题。画线词后的“like Cambridge,Harvard”是对“Prestigious universities”的举例说明,由此可推知,此处指“像剑桥和哈佛这样的知名大学”,所以prestigious意为“有声望的,著名的”,故选A项。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第五段“Laurent’s grandparents were the first to recognize he had a gift,his parents told CNN.”可知,Laurent的祖父母首先发现Laurent很有天赋。故选C项。
3.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知,Sjoerd Hulshof告诉CNN,Laurent “简直是与众不同”。他不仅非常聪明,而且还是一个非常有同情心的男孩。由此可推断,Laurent聪明、富有同情心并且与众不同。故选D项。
4.D 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,这个天才少年将攻读电气工程博士学位,同时攻读医学学位。由此可推断,除了电气工程,Laurent还对其他科学领域感兴趣。故选D项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一个17岁的高中生通过修理电脑来处理电子垃圾以及帮助别人。
5.B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“What McWilliams didn’t expect was that the 17-year-old came back a couple days later with three completely repaired,working computers.‘Amazing,’ McWilliams says.‘I think he knows more about hardware than I do.’”可推断,当Logan成功修理坏掉的笔记本电脑时,McWilliams是非常惊讶的。故选B项。
6.D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“E-waste,abandoned electrical or electronic devices,is a growing problem across the world.It has bad effects on people and the environment.(电子垃圾,即废弃的电气或电子设备,在世界各地都是一个日益严重的问题。它对人类和环境都有不良影响。)”可知,电子垃圾会危害健康和环境。故选D项。
7.D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Although Logan looks like the typical teenager,he is a computer talent with a desire to give.(虽然Logan看起来像个普通的青少年,但他却是一个乐于奉献的计算机天才。)”和第三段中的“Giving away the computers to someone in need...(Logan说,把

2.G 根据上文可知,试图在考试前一晚学习全部内容,是不可能掌握所有材料的。这也会让你在考试当天感到疲惫和压力。故本句与上文构成因果关系,指出在考试前几天做好准备是明智的。故G项“所以在考试前几天做好准备是明智的”符合语境。故选G项。
3.F 根据本段小标题可知,主要说明注意力集中的问题。F项中的concentrate属于原词复现。故选F项。

Dear fellow students,
Earth Day is on April,22nd.I firmly advocate that everyone should care about the planet we live on.Endless human demands for resources account for a dramatic rise in carbon emission,bringing the global temperature to an unprecedented level.It’s urgent for us to adopt a low-carbon lifestyle.Not only should we choose public transport instead of private vehicles,but we also need to use energy-efficient equipment.Our Mother Earth is severely “sick”.It’s high time that we acted to “heal” the world.With joint efforts,she is bound to regain her vigor!
