（CNN）----A 12-year-old girl who had a felling that she might be quite clever has taken a test and proved she was absolutely right.

Lydia Sebastian achieved the top score of 162 on Mensa，s Cattell III B paper, suggesting she has a higher IQ than well-known geniuses Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. The comparison doesn't sit well with the British student, who’s currently in Year 8 at Colchester County high school, a selective girl’s grammar school in Essex, England.
"I don't think I can be compared to such great intellectuals such as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. They’ve achieved so much. I don’t think it’s right," Lydia told CNN.
Lydia sat the test in her summer holidays, after raising the idea with her parents and pestering (纠缠）them for the best part of a year. It turns out the test wasn't that hard after all.
"I was really nervous before the test and I thought it was going to be really hard. But as I started the test, I thought it was a bit easier than I thought it was going to be," she said.
Lydia’s not quite sure what she wants to do when she leaves school, although she’s leaning toward something "based around Maths, because it’s one of my favorite subjects. " "All I，m going to do is work as hard as I can, and see where that gets me," she said.
To explain Lydia’s mark’s level, the top adult score in the Cattell III B test, which primarily tests verbal(语言) reasoning, is 161. A top 2% score 一 which allows entry to Mensa, the club for those with high IQs 一 would be 148 or over. Lydia scored 162, placing her in the top 1% of the population.

   Doctors fighting malaria（疟疾），one of the deadliest diseases on the planet,may soon have a new affordable weapon in their smart phones. Researchers have found a way to use the phone’s camera to detect（探测） the microorganism in the patient's blood that causes the disease. According to the World Health Organization, almost 600,000 people died of malaria in 2013, making this mosquito-borne disease one of the deadliest in the world. The saddest aspect of this calamity(灾难) is that it affects mostly young children.
    Early detection of the infection is important for successful treatment. But since the first symptoms resemble ordinary flu, a microbiologist must look at a drop of a patient’s blood under a microscope for a proper diagnosis.
    Scientists in Britain have now developed a smart phone attachment called Xrapid, that turns the phone into a 200-power microscope, while the attached app - based on facial recognition software - quickly detects the parasitic protozoa（寄生原生物）in the blood smear(血涂片).
    Jean Viry-Babel is the CEO of IanXen, the company that developed the app. He says it is cheap and works on the spot. “So we take a high-definition picture of a sample of blood. We separate the red blood cells from the rest - the white blood cells, the platelets - and we start looking at each of the red blood cells individually," said Viry-Babel.
    Viry-Babel says the app is affordable, easy to use and provides reliability of up to 98 percent. The only additional equipment required is an ordinary glass lab slide - called a "slate." “There's only one button, which is called "Diagnose". So you put it on the slate and you put it on the dried blood, and you press diagnose and it tells you yes or no," he said.
    Researchers say the field-testing of the device will begin in January and February in Tanzania, Benin and Indonesia - while commercial use is scheduled to start by the end of March. They also plan to expand the versatility of the new device - teaching it to recognize other diseases, such as tuberculosis and Lyme Disease.

28.Who are mostly affected by malaria?

A.old people   B.adults                C.teenagers        D. young children

29. Which of the following is Not the advantage of the app.?

A.affordable   B. easy to use          C.reliable              D.additional

30. When will the device be commercially used?

A. In the beginning of January          B. By the end of March

C. By the end of February          D.In the beginning of March

31. Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. Smart phones Becoming Tools for Diagnosing Malaria

A recent survey, while indicating a generally active attitude to science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be “running out of control”. This idea is dangerous.

Science can be a force for evil as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science. But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fast is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.
    Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections （反对）, whatever is scientifically possible will be done ——somewhere, sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it a fuels sense of  hopelessness and discourages them from making efforts to build a safer world.
    In our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of “controlling” science in this century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact （影响） on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.
     Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the united efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.

32.What can we conclude from the recent survey?

A.People hold mixed opinions about science

B.People think highly of science

C.Science is getting dangerously out of control

D.Science is used for both good and bad purposes

33.According to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?

A.The development of science will hopelessly slow down

B.Businesses will have even greater influence on science

C.People will work more actively to put science under control

D.The public will lose faith（信心） in bringing about a bright future

34.The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because       .

A.scientists have failed to predict the outcomes

B.people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science

C.united efforts are necessary for the development of science

D.the ties between different areas need strengthening

35.What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Science and its applications bring us many dangers

B.Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts

C.The development of science mostly lies in people’s attitudes

D.The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas
