National Science Bowl®: A Gateway to STEM Excellence

Created in 1991, the National Science Bowl® (NSB) has grown into one of the nation’s largest science competitions. Designed to challenge middle and high school students across a range of science disciplines, it aims to inspire young minds to pursue careers in science. With over 350,000 participants taking part over its 35-year history, the competition continues to attract thousands of students each year.

What sets the NSB apart is its fast-paced question-and-answer format, testing not only knowledge but also quick thinking under pressure. Each year, students compete in regional tournaments held across the country, with winners advancing to the national finals in Washington, D.C.

The 37th Regional Tournament took place on March 6-7, 2026, with 13 teams competing for the sole spot in the national finals. Following the preliminary and final rounds, the champion team earned an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C. to join the 2026 National Science Bowl Finals.

The table below outlines key details for the 2026 National Finals:

21. Who might take part in the competition?

A. An adult devoted to chemistry.B. A teenager brilliant at science.

Jacques Richter, a teacher at Northwood School, was chatting with a parent when the mom mentioned three old bikes sitting disused and that her kids had outgrown them. It all started with that throwaway line. Richter felt a sudden idea. “What if we fix them up and pass them on?”

It was 2024, Northwood’s 75th anniversary, and Richter wanted to do something meaningful. When he brought the idea to his cycling team, it landed in fertile ground. All team members loved the proposal and ran with it. “Let’s go for 75,” one student suggested. “One for each year.” And so the “75 Bikes” project was born.

Word spread. Old bikes started showing up, loose frames, missing wheels and flat tires. The students didn’t see junk. They saw challenges. Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, the workshop was full of life. Tools made noise. They made mistakes and bikes had to be taken apart more than once. They were not professional mechanics. But efforts paid off. Bit by bit, the pile of broken bikes thinned out, and the row of shiny, rideable bikes grew.

Then they knew Keletso, a young man working at a local supermarket. His only way there was an old bike without brakes (刹车). The students picked out their best repair, a solid blue bike with smooth gears and strong brakes. When they handed it over, Keletso’s face broke into a wide smile. At that moment, the students understood something no classroom could teach. A bike isn’t just a bike. For someone like Keletso, it’s freedom.

By year’s end, they had donated over 25 bikes, still short of 75, but they weren’t stopping. “We set out to give away bicycles,” Richter said. “What we got back was so much more.”

24. What inspired the initial idea of “75 Bikes” project?

A. A casual chat.B. A team discussion.

C. A careful plan.D. A student’s dream.

25. What does the underlined phrase “landed in fertile ground” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Got quickly forgotten.B. Received strong support.

C. Caused a heated debate.D. Needed repeated checking.

26. What can be inferred from the students’ bike repair process?

A. Efforts bridge the skill gap.B. Students are born mechanics.

C. Repairing is beyond students.D. Professional guidance matters.

27. What does the story show?

A. Opportunity knocks but once.

B. Well begun is half done.

C. Giving is better than receiving.

D. It’s never too late to learn.

C

In a village in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (刚果金), Marie Mbenza always goes to her field at daybreak, tending her half-acre plot. But getting her harvest to market is as unpredictable as the weather. Sometimes her tomatoes go bad before they reach town, a daily reality for small-scale farmers. The global food systems are more fragile (脆弱的) than many realize.

Marie is one of the farmers living through a quiet food crisis. A major report, the Resilient Food Systems Index (粮食系统韧性指数) from Economist Impact, first published in March 2026, puts numbers to her struggle. The index ranks 60 countries on how well they can handle shocks: extreme weather, sudden price increases and supply chain breakdowns. The findings reveal a deeply divided world. Marie’s country comes last, scoring 34.86 out of 100, while Portugal ranks first. There is about a 42-point gap between the weakest food system and the strongest. Nearly half of all countries fall into a “middle zone”. Not collapsing, but far from secure.

For millions like Marie, what ends up on the dinner plate depends on forces far beyond their control. One of the biggest problems in the food system is infrastructure (基础设施). The global score for transportation and delivery systems was just 56.8. This matters because when roads are bad and storage is poor, food gets lost. Worldwide, 13.2% of food never reaches store shelves. Climate risks make things worse. The ability to respond to climate shocks scored just 56.4. While research into climate-friendly farming scored relatively well, the ability to actually help farmers put that research into practice averaged only 34. Food prices have risen fastest in low-income countries, up 23.1% over the past five years.

The report points to a path forward to close divides across the world plate: better infrastructure, climate action, and making nutritious food affordable. We know what works. But the question is whether the world can move fast enough to fill the plate.

28. Why does the author begin with Marie Mbenza’s story?

A. To prove the changeable weather.

B. To make food crisis easy to feel.

C. To show small farms are unreliable.

D. To introduce a struggling farmer.

29. What is Portugal’s most likely score on the Resilient Food Systems Index?

A. 34.86.B. 56.4.C. 56.8.D. 76.83.

30. What can we know about climate-friendly farming research?

A. It scores well but reaches limited farmers.

B. It has been overlooked by the report.

C. It is the main cause of food price increases.

D. It is widely applied in poor countries.

31. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. The Crisis of ClimateB. A Guide to Green Farming

C. A Farmer’s ConfusionD. The World’s Divided Plate

D

For years, biologists have wondered why many water animals swim in short bursts, which are sudden, energetic movements that last only a moment, followed by long pauses (停顿). The common explanation is that such pauses allow the animals to glide (滑行), reducing drag and saving energy. But is it the case?

Researchers at EPFL in Switzerland built ZBot, a robot fish that perfectly copies the shape, movement, and swimming style of a young zebrafish (斑马鱼). Then they ran experiments. They made ZBot swim without stopping in some tests, and in burst-and-glide patterns in others. They measured everything. The results surprised them.

Gliding did save energy, but not for the reason they had expected. When the robot swam in bursts, its motor worked harder for short periods and then shut off completely during glides. When swimming without stopping, the motor ran all the time at medium power. The motor, it turned out, was more efficient when working in short, strong bursts. The researchers called this “actuator efficiency”. It indicates how well a motor turns energy into useful work.

The discovery matters far beyond zebrafish. Electric motors, such as those in factory robots, drones, or electric cars, face the same challenge. Most are built to run all the time at steady speeds. But ZBot suggests that starting and stopping, if timed right, could make batteries last longer and use less energy in many different machines. “This isn’t just about fish,” one researcher said. “It’s about rethinking how we build machines that move.”

There are problems, of course. The robot is small, and its movements are simple. Making it bigger will take time. But the idea that starting and stopping can sometimes work better than running all the time challenges a long-held belief in engineering.

What looks like a waste in nature, like all those pauses in swimming, often turns out to be wisdom we haven’t yet learned to understand.

32. Why did researchers build ZBot?

A. To create a new robotic tool.B. To catch the real zebrafish.

C. To copy the shape of zebrafish.D. To test an idea on swimming.

33. What did the researchers find out about the motor of ZBot?

A. It continued working during glides.B. It worked better in short, strong bursts.

C. It broke down when running non-stop.D. It failed to turn energy into useful work.

34. What is mentioned about the experiment in paragraph 5?

A. Its process.B. Its application.C. Its limitations.D. Its principles.

35. What does the author try to illustrate in the last paragraph?

A. Nature has lessons we have missed.B. Nature’s wisdom is understandable.

C. Nature wastes energy in many ways.D. Nature’s designs are far from perfect.

Ever notice how you feel different after a walk in the woods? Not just pleasantly tired after exercise, but clearer and lighter. It’s like your mind finally takes a deep breath. ____36____

Scientists have been studying this for years, and they’ve found that nature does something screens can’t. When you’re on a trail, your brain shifts into a different mode. The brain part, which handles constant thinking and worrying, gets a break. ____37____ You stop going over conversations in your head. You stop planning your to-do list. You just walk.

Psychologists call this “soft fascination”. The city, filled with flashing screens and sudden noises, demands your attention in sharp ways. The trail asks for just enough to keep you moving. Not too much, just enough. A rock in the path. ____38____ The way sunlight shines through the tree leaves. Nothing urgent. Just enough.

____39____ One foot in front of the other. Breathe in, breathe out. Your body knows it. Your thoughts stop racing. Problems that felt huge at your desk start to look smaller. You’re not solving anything, exactly. You’re just letting your mind breathe.

The best part? ____40____ Studies show that twenty minutes in a park or on a quiet trail is enough to lower stress and improve focus. So when the weather turns and you feel that pull to head outside, trust it. Put on shoes, find a trail and let the woods do what they’ve always done.

A. There is a reason why you feel this good.

B. Walking itself brings a natural, calming rhythm.

C. Here are some simple tips to help you get started.

D. You don’t have to walk long to get the real benefit.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

To get his three kids to do their share of housework, Dad came up with a chore chart. “Do a chore, earn some pocket money,” he told them. “Save up, and you can buy whatever toy you like.” Dad promised to hand out pocket money every Saturday evening based on what they had done. The kids were over the moon.

Alex, the oldest, couldn’t get a cool skateboard out of his head. He threw himself into every chore he could find. Before Ben could even grab a dish towel, Alex had already jumped in. When Lily reached for the mop (拖把), he gently took it from her. He washed, swept, mopped, and even walked the dog four times a day. Soon, Ben and Lily had almost nothing left to do.

Dad soon noticed. On Friday evening, he pulled Alex aside and said coldly, “This isn’t a race, Alex. Chores are about learning to be responsible, not just about making money.” Alex’s cheeks burned. He had worked so hard, but now Dad seemed disappointed with him. Feeling hurt, he walked off without a word.

On Saturday afternoon, the family went for a walk in the park. Alex was still quiet, dragging his feet behind his parents. Then they saw a little girl crying under a big tree. Her balloon had floated up and gotten stuck on a branch. Without thinking, Alex climbed the tree. His parents held their breath, watching nervously. “Be careful, Alex!” Mom called out, her voice tight with worry. Dad stood close beneath the tree, arms half-raised, ready to catch him if he fell. Ben and Lily cheered from the ground, “You can do it, Alex!” Ben shouted.

Alex reached out carefully, grabbed the balloon string, and climbed back down. He handed the balloon to the little girl. Her eyes widened, and a big smile spread across her tear-stained face. “Thank you, thank you!” she cried, hugging the balloon tightly.

注意：

1．续写词数应为150个左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。

Later, the girl’s mom came over and took out a ten-dollar bill.

That evening, Dad took out the pocket money, pride and regret in his eyes.
