STEM Summer Programs for High School Students
STEM, representing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, is vital for
innovation. Summer programs for high school students provide great experiences that inspire
interest and career aspirations in these important fields.
Program in Math for Young Scientists
This program is a six-week intensive mathematics program designed for students across the
globe. Unlike common programs, it offers a great deal of independence for students to choose
their own schedules and decide what they want to study. Besides learning, there is also “fun time”
built into the weekly schedule so that students are able to have non-math related activities.
Simons Summer Research
It is a seven-week program located at Stony Brook University. Students will have the
opportunity to participate in special workshops, tours and events free of charge. They will
高三英语 第 3 页 共 11 页
conclude the program by producing a written research abstract and research poster.
Future Matters Program
It is an 8-week paid summer research experience for high school students. This is a
hands-on program for students interested in going after a career in medical research. Students
will attend seminars led by faculty and participate in discussions with peers.
Research Science Institute
It is the first cost-free summer program of its kind. During this six-week program, students
will dive deeper into the world of science and engineering by experiencing the entire research
cycle. In this program students attend classes conducted by famous professors and prepare
written and oral presentations to present their research.

Sewing is frequently seen as an enjoyable and artistic activity. However, have you ever
taken a moment to consider that for countless individuals worldwide, a sewing machine goes
beyond its role as merely a tool, instead frequently serving as their crucial source of income?
When Margaret Jankowski discovered this, she chose to establish The Sewing Machine
Project, an organization dedicated to collecting donated sewing machines and distributing them
in remote areas such as Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Guam, and Kosovo. Additionally, the
organization seeks to assist communities in Detroit and New Orleans.
After a tsunami struck Sri Lanka, Margaret was profoundly affected by the tale of a specific
woman. The disaster ruined the woman’s village, resulting in her losing everything, including
her sewing machine, which had been her primary means of earning a living. Moved by this story,
Margaret made the decision to gather used sewing machines and ship them to Sri Lanka. After
she announced her idea on a local news program, donations of sewing machines began pouring
in from the community.
The Sewing Machine Project covers a basic yet necessary need of many impoverished
people around the world. For them, sewing can be a tool for survival. Whether in a factory or at
高三英语 第 4 页 共 11 页
home, a sewing machine can be the door to brighter financial opportunities. A sewing machine
can also enable many to preserve their cultural identity. After Hurricane Katrina occurred in
2005, a community of New Orleans that wears skillfully-made suits for their own traditional
festival lost many of their sewing machines. Since then, the non-profit organization has
distributed hundreds of machines among the creators of the costumes, helping them maintain
their tradition as well as their income.
24.What is the purpose of including a question in the first paragraph?
A. To question the importance of sewing.
B. To emphasize the role of sewing.
C. To introduce the sewing project.
D. To provide background information about sewing.
25.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Inspiration for the project. B. The experience of Margaret in 2004.
C. The story of a woman in Sri Lanka. D. Destruction of the 2004 tsunami.
26.What does the underlined word “impoverished” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. uneducated. B. badly-off . C. exhausted. D. pessimistic.
27.Why is the community in New Orleans mentioned in the end?
A. To highlight its cultural identity.
B. To prove the importance of keeping traditions.
C. To explain how organizations can provide immediate disaster relief.
D. To show another function of sewing machines.
C
US and Canadian researchers recently calculated the total amount of the worlds
groundwater and estimated that it is equal to a lake 180 metres deep covering the entire Earth.
This makes groundwater the largest active freshwater resource on the planet. The team also
investigated its age. How did they do this?
Humans introduced a convenient time signature on the Earth when we started testing
atomic (原子的) weapons. This leaves a time stamp which can be found in water, rocks and
living organisms. By seeing if radioactivity (放射性) from atomic bomb testing was present in
the groundwater, the researchers could estimate that about 6% of this groundwater is younger
than 50 years old. If this water was spread evenly over the continents, then there is just three
metres depth of modern groundwater spread equally over the continents.
It could be argued that if we use only this modern groundwater, then this is sustainable, as
高三英语 第 5 页 共 11 页
we know that it has been replaced or recharged (被补充) by natural processes over the last 50
years. But how quickly groundwater recharges changes over time.
Water has to reach the inside of rocks, either now or in the past. This means that the amount
of rainfall has to be more than the amount of water evaporating (蒸发) from the land surface,
and more than the amount of water used by all the plants. When this occurs, fresh water can
recharge the groundwater from either water “leaking” from the beds of rivers or from rainwater
that passes through the soil.
In many parts of the world we know that groundwater recharge varies due to natural climate
variability such as El Nino. Groundwater recharge will also change with global warming.
28.How did the researchers estimate the age of the groundwater?
A. By analyzing its chemical composition. B. By testing atomic bomb.
C. By examining its freshness. D. By finding its time stamp.
29.What do people think of the supply of “modern” groundwater?
A. It’s limited. B. It’s fresh. C. It’s vital. D. It’s abundant.
30.What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Water evaporating. B. Water leaking from river beds.
C. Water getting into rocks. D. Water being used by all the plants.
31.What are the last three paragraphs mainly talking about?
A. Groundwater sustainability. B. Climate variability.
C. Groundwater exploration. D. Global warming.
D
You may never know why. The email will arrive and reasons offered for your rejection
might be the real ones—or not. Bosses have always spied on their employees, then judged them.
Now the rise of the online self means the employer’s eye can travel still farther.
Even before the pandemic, research found that 28% of large companies had turned down
applicants after carrying out such checks. And it is becoming more popular: Reed Screening, a
large agency, was asked to run over a third more social-media checks in December 2021 than a
year earlier. This month the government gave the practice approval when the Department for
Education said schools and colleges “should consider carrying out an online search as part of
their due diligence (尽职调查)”.
The way screening works is simple: Any “problematic” behaviours will be marked with a
red flag. There are laws governing such online screening. David Erdos head of the Centre for
Intellectual Property and Information Law, says that companies are supposed to warn candidates
高三英语 第 6 页 共 11 页
before screening their social media and tell them that they have the right to hold back permission.
Some companies follow these rules, but others may not. As for the right to refuse, it is hardly
practicable. “Who on earth is going to be that person who says：‘Hang on a minute, I’m not
happy about that?’”asks Mr Erdos. “That itself is likely to be a red flag.”
All agree that the spread of online screening is alarming, as it is so unforgiving. “People
may be unable ever to be free of their online past, ” says Mr Erdos. As indeed some footballers,
recently punished for comments made almost a decade ago when they were but teenagers, have
found to their cost.
Those within the industry think laws should be tightened, with punishment for illegal act. In
the meantime, being very careful is advisable. In talks to university students, Mr Erdos warns
them what companies will do to their social media when they apply for jobs. They are
“universally terrified ”, he says. And rightly so.
32.What can we infer about online screening from paragraph 2?
A. It is discouraged by large companies.
B. It is becoming increasingly acceptable in applicants.
C. It is more widely applied.
D. It highlights the wisdom of employers.
33.How do applicants usually respond to online screening?
A. They become indifferent to the red flags.
B. They have to give in to it.
C. They reject the screening.
D. They ignore their online profiles.
34.What is Mr Erdos’ opinion on posting comments online?
A. It is a fair way to evaluate employee. B. University students are free to do it.
C. It should be under strict laws. D. Its effect is hard to remove.
35.What could be a suitable title for the text?
A. Fix Your Eyes on Online Screening
B. Your Employer Is Watching You Remotely
C. Social-media Checks Are Around the Corner
D. Checks Online Are to Blame for Unemployment

Kenny Eating House is always crowded from late afternoon until midnight, with so many
people surrounding the tables. 36 The moment customers show any signs of leaving, a
few people rush in to take their place. The one who secures the table will stand at the table
proudly waving his relatives or friends over, while the losers will be down in the mouth.
37 You next have to get the attention of the busy waiters rushing about to serve the
customers. You will usually hear the words ‘hot water’ being shouted out as they pass, even if
they are not holding any such thing! 38 In between trying to catch the attention of the
waiters and looking through the menu, you will hear customers complaining about the slow
service.
When the waiter comes to take your order, he is usually impatient. If customers can’t decide,
the waiters might just walk away, making it hard for them to get attention again. The waiters
often yell the orders to the cooks in the back. 39
Whenever the crowd gets too thick, the waiters will ask customers to share their tables with
those standing. When the tables are shared by two different groups of people, the loudness
becomes incredibly deafening. With the noise of clanging plates and loud voices, you must raise
your voice to be heard. 40 The exhausted waiters can finally take a moment to sit down,
enjoying a chat or a cigarette.The activity at the eating place winds down, ready to recover
before the next day of madness arrives.
A. This is in fact their smart way of clearing the way.
B. They will be watching for a table that might be available soon.
C. Don’t give up.
D. By the midnight the crowd begin to thin and the noise dies down
E. They are occupied around the clock.
F. However, finding a seat doesn’t mean the end of waiting.
G. This behavior makes the place feel very busy.

Novels have inspired me and helped lead the way through 53 toward the light. I’m
