問題詳情：

  A native of Florida, U. S. , Hannah Herbst, 17, uses water power to deal with energy poverty. Herbst has risen to fame with the development of BEACON, an ocean energy probe that seeks to offer a stable power source to developing countries by using untapped energy from ocean currents.

She told Teen Vogue , " I was really involved in theater and athletics and I'm still really into those things. When I was in the seventh grade, I was put into a summer camp. The minute I got there I realized that I was the only girl in the program. I wanted to quit at that moment. But my dad told me, ' Just try it. '  I tried it for that day and it changed my life. ”

“At the camp, we started building the robots, which is something I had never done before but many of the boys had, and I realized it was a platform for problem-solving. We were solving simple tasks like how to push a robot off a platform. Learning from my partners as well as online articles about how to program and build was really interesting to me," said Herbst.

Later that year, she received a letter from her pen pal, Ruth, who lives in Ethiopia, and learned that she was living in energy poverty with minimal access to electricity and medical supplies. " I knew that I wanted to do something to help, so I created BEACON, she said.

The device is made from 90% recycled materials easily found throughout the world, including 2-liter bottles and recycled spoons. It costs $ 12 to make and can produce enough electricity to power an LED light. Hannah imagines BEACON being used in developing countries to power pumps for fresh water and she is working on polishing it to get it available to people all over the world.

本文屬於説明文，介紹了Hannah Herbst發明的BEACON是一種海洋能源探測器，旨在利用洋流中未開發的能源為發展*家提供穩定的能源。文章講述了她發明BEACON的原因、過程及其作用。

4．細節理解題。根據文章第二段But my dad told me, ' Just try it. '  I tried it for that day and it changed my life.但我爸爸告訴我，試一試。那天我試了，它改變了我的生活。可知赫布斯特最有可能建議青少年對喜歡的事試一試。故選B.

5．推理判斷題。根據文章第三段At the camp, we started building the robots, which is something I had never done before but many of the boys had, and I realized it was a platform for problem-solving.在營地，我們開始建造機器人，這是我以前從未做過的事，但很多男孩都有，我意識到這是一個解決問題的平台。可知 赫布斯特在七年級參加的是工程夏令營。故選D。

6．推理判斷題。根據文章第一段Hannah Herbst, 17, uses water power to deal with energy poverty. 和倒數第二段she received a letter from her pen pal， Ruth, who lives in Ethiopia, and learned that she was living in energy poverty with minimal access to electricity and medical supplies. " I knew that I wanted to do something to help, so I created BEACON， she said她收到了她的筆友，露絲，的一封信，她住在埃塞俄比亞，得知她生活在能源貧乏中，很少有機會獲得電力和醫療用品，因此，創建了BEACON。可知，漢娜•赫布斯特是樂於助人，富有創造力的。故選B。
