C
A 15-year-old student who invented a flashlight(手电筒) getting power from the holder's body heat is going home today from California with a big prize and a chance to do further research.
Ann Makosinski was the only Canadian among the four winners at Google's international science competition. Thousands of young scientists from around the world took part in the competition.
Winning the science and technology competition was “a surprise”. Ann said,“I think it will have a great influence on my future.”
Ann thanked her family for encouraging her interest in science and said that her first toy was a box of transistors(晶体管).
Ann's prize includes 25,000 and a “once-in-lifetime experience” from Google for her Hollow Flashlight,which has no moving parts or batteries.
The idea for the invention came from seeing unwanted batteries and her friend's experience. When Ann visited a friend in the Philippines,she saw the friend couldn't study when it became dark because there was no electricity or light. She saw the need for a flashlight that has no batteries—Hollow Flashlight.
In her project,Ann wrote “I made two flashlights that do not use any batteries or harmful materials. They do not create any noise and will always work. The flashlight needs at least a 5℃ temperature difference between the holder's body and the environment around to produce light.”
A video of Ann explaining how she created the flashlight has been watched more than 1.4 million times on the internet.
Though Ann was successful,she has not made a decision about her career path. Ann hoped that she could find a way to join her love of film and science together.
The four winners were chosen from 15 final competitors from eight countries. The competition attracted thousands of students in 120 countries.

答案： 【解析】：
这是一道英语阅读理解题，主要考查了学生对文章内容的理解和分析能力，以及对文章主题、段落大意和细节信息的把握。
对于7题，需要判断文章可能出现在报纸的哪个部分。根据文章内容，主要讲述了一个学生发明手电筒的故事，这与科技相关，因此答案应为C，即Technology（科技）。
对于8题，需要判断第一段的作用。第一段主要介绍了一个15岁的学生发明了一种由手持者的体温供电的手电筒，并因此获得大奖和进一步研究的机会。这是对文章主题的引入，因此答案应为A，即introduction（介绍）。
对于9题，需要概括第六段的主要内容。第六段主要讲述了Ann发明空心手电筒的原因，即看到不需要的电池和她在菲律宾的朋友因为没有电或灯光而无法在天黑后学习的经历。因此答案应为B，即why Ann invented Hollow Flashlight（为什么Ann发明了空心手电筒）。
对于10题，需要根据文章内容判断哪个选项是正确的。A选项表示赢得国际科学竞赛很容易，这与文章内容不符；C选项表示Ann已经决定将来成为一名科学家，但文章中提到她尚未决定自己的职业道路；D选项表示很少有人对Ann如何创造手电筒感兴趣，但文章中提到一个Ann解释她如何创造手电筒的视频在互联网上被观看了超过140万次，说明有很多人感兴趣。而B选项表示空心手电筒安全、无声且能节省能源，这与文章中Ann在项目中的描述相符，因此B选项是正确的。
【答案】：
7. C
8. A
9. B
10. B
