Question 2: Extended Essay (Required; Choose one)
问题2：选择以下任一进行回答

1.What if the moon were made of cheese? Or Neptune made of soap? Pick a celestial object, reimagine its material composition, and explore the implications. Feel free to explore the realms of physics, philosophy, fantasy…the sky is the limit!
—Inspired by Tate Flicker, Class of 2025
如果月亮是奶酪做的会怎么样？如果海王星是香皂做的呢？选择一个天体并重塑其组成物质，探索其中的含义。可以自由探索物理、哲学、幻想等领域，天空是唯一的限制!

2.What’s so easy about pie?
—Inspired by Arjun Kalia, Class of 2025
馅饼为何如此简单？

3.In Homer’s Iliad, Helen had a “face that launched a thousand ships.” A millihelen, then, measures the beauty needed to launch one ship. The Sagan unit is used to denote any large quantity (in place of “billions and billions”). A New York Minute measures the period of time between a traffic light turning green and the cab behind you honking. Invent a new unit of measurement. How is it derived? How is it used? What are its equivalents?
—Inspired by Carina Kane, Class of 2024, and Ishaan Goel, Class of 2025
荷马的《伊利亚特》中，海伦有一张“使千帆起航的脸”。因此我们可以用“千分之一的海伦”来测量使一艘船起航的美丽。“萨根单位”可以用来表示任何大的数量（代替“数十亿）。“纽约分钟”可以用来测量从交通灯变绿到你后面的出租车按喇叭的时间间隔。发明一种新的计量单位，它是如何推导出来的？它是如何使用的？它的等价物是什么?

4."There is no such thing as a new idea" - Mark Twain. Are any pieces of art, literature, philosophy, or technology truly original, or just a different combination of old ideas? Pick something, anything (besides yourself), and explain why it is, or is not, original.
—Inspired by Haina Lu, Class of 2022
“没有所谓的新思想”——马克·吐温。有什么艺术、文学、哲学或技术是真正原创的，或只是旧思想的不同组合？任选一件东西（除了你自己），解释为什么它是或不是原创的。

5.It's said that history repeats itself. But what about other disciplines? Choose another field (chemistry, philosophy, etc.) and explain how it repeats itself. Explain how it repeats itself.
—Inspired by Ori Brian, AB’19
都说历史总在重演，那其他学科呢？选择另一领域（化学、哲学等）并解释它是如何重复自身的。

6.In the spirit of adventurous inquiry (and with the encouragement of one of our current students!) choose one of our past prompts (or create a question of your own). Be original, creative, thought provoking. Draw on your best qualities as a writer, thinker, visionary, social critic, sage, citizen of the world, or future citizen of the University of Chicago; take a little risk, and have fun!
本着冒险的精神（并在芝加哥大学在校生的鼓励下），选择我们以往的文书题目（或创造你自己的题目）。文章要原创，富有创意并发人深省。尽情发挥你作为作家、思想家、梦想家、社会评论家、世界公民或芝加哥大学未来公民的最佳品质，愿意冒险并享受其中！
