He had just taken a sip of hot tea when the message popped up, and Keene did a double-take at the subject line: “A TRIBE IS WANTED”.From there, Ben co-founded Tribewanted, an eco-friendly sustainable community existing in the virtual world of the internet and on an actual desert island at the same time.With huge media interest, the courageous and bold idea could have had enormous consequences for tourism. The idea behind Tribewanted was to recruit (招募) a group of similar people online before heading to the Fijian Island of Vorovoro to build a sustainable community alongside the local native tribe.The idea was swept along with a flood of interest, with the island lease (租约) was secured, the virtual community sprung to life. All major decisions on the island were voted on by an online tribe that anyone around the world could join. The idea was so exciting that the journey was turned into a 5 part BBC series “Paradise or Bust” and a book, Tribewanted.Ben spent 10 years building and expanding Tribewanted beyond the crowdfunded sustainable-tourism villages on an island in Fiji, to a beach in Sierra Leone and a farm in Umbria. He faced challenges including a fire sweeping through the island in the first week of the project, a military coup (政变), and a hurricane that threatened to destroy the emerging village. Online disagreements also made decision making hard and pushed the project to the edge.The project survived, and for a while, thrived. From there Ben joined Escape the City, a global community with the mission to help one million people to do work that matters to them and the world, inspiring thousands of talented career changers and ambitious businessmen to take the leap and launch their ideas into the world. Ben led the Escape school team for 5 years, and became a business advisor and guider at Virgin Startup, and Zinc. Ben has supported and guided thousands of people to set up impactful businesses on a limited budget.4. What is Tribewanted?A．A voting software. B．An island adventure project.C．An employment plan. D．An eco-community in virtual and realworlds.5. Which phrase may best replace the underlined “sprung to life”?A．passed on. B．came into being.C．got involved. D．struggled to survive.6. What might be Ben’s intention of joining Escape the City?A．To seek funds for his Tribewanted .B．To call for investment in remote islands.C．To support people to launch influential businesses.D．To help ambitious businessmen to change careers.7. In which column can you read this text?A．Inspiring people. B．Connected lives.C．Inventive solutions. D．Global business.About two months ago, I removed Uber Eats from my phone. Not because I didn’t like using it. I loved it. Like most cheap, modern luxuries though, there are hidden costs.“Restaurants are barely surviving. Delivery apps will kill them” was a headline in a newspaper, one of many stories exploring the unfair sign-up strategies and high fees taken by these tech companies. Moreover, there were reports about bad working conditions for delivery riders, leading to tragic accidents, even deaths. That’s truly unbearable!I deleted the app and haven’t used it, or any of its competitors, since. Instead of ordering online, now I either cook something or get takeaway nearby. Cooking better food has been a great motivation for me. On lazy nights, I’ve discovered that I can still make a satisfying meal by using whatever ingredients I have on hand. This approach has also saved me much money. As with lots of online shopping, I’d been ordering food without much th ought about the cost. Cooking is almost always cheaper and so is old-school takeaway.These changes have cost me one thing — time. One reason the apps are so popular is that they meet the needs of the convenience-seeking, time-starved individuals. But rather than adding to my stress, having to plan meals again somehow made life less so. Some days it’s been a good motivation to stop work earlier, and engage in activities like going to the shops, or start chopping onions. Walking to pick up takeaway forces you to go for a walk. The change in habit forced me to be on my devices a bit less and to be in my actual life and neighbourhood a bit more.The process has made me think about how technological advances do save us time, but time for what? For me, the answer was often just more time working, or more time online. Making my own food feels like taking back time I had given up for things far less nourishing (有营养的).8. Which might be the reason for the author to remove Uber Eats?A．Her passion for cooking. B．Her boredom with online ordering.C．Her preference for another app. D．Her concern for its negative impacts.9. What does the author think of cooking?A．Addictive and money-saving. B．Cheap and convenient.C．Time-consuming but rewarding. D．Motivating but stressful.10. What does “the process” refer to in the last paragraph?A．Reflecting on the influence of hi-tech.B．Adapting to life free of delivery apps.C．Getting into a healthy eating habit.D．Rediscovering the fun of cooking.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A．My Order Never ArrivedB．Why Uber Eats Gets Less ActiveC．What Delivery Apps Can Not Offer MeD．The Convenience Was Not Worth The CostAccording to Americans for the Arts, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say that the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences.” Still, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent visited an art museum; six percent attended a literary event. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind.What has caused this phenomenon is that we do not have time for art — we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work but most of us rarely, if ever, went to see a live performance, let alone visited a gallery. And reading poetry? Perhaps not since high school.Too often, we let the realities of life get in the way of the arts, which can feel insignificant by comparison. But this is a mistake. The arts might be the single most in-depth experience you will ever be given to explore the nature and meaning of life. And if you make time to consume and produce art, you will find your life become fuller and happier.Some philosophers address the problem of life consumed by work and material pursuits. They argue that art provides relief from this routine, expanding our perspective and bringing us closer to true reality.Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or recall your fast heartbeats as you stared at a delicate lifelike sculpture. Chances are that it probably stimulated (刺激) a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.If you are among those who feel that art is “pure pleasure to experience and participate in,” you might see it the same way you see eating out, or skydiving: as a luxury (奢侈品) item in your limited budgets of time and money. As such, it probably gets the same sort of treatment as any minor hobby. Don’t make this error. Treat art more like exercise or sleep: a necessit y for a life full of deep satisfaction.12. What does paragraph 1 focus on?A．The opinion of U.S. adults about art.B．The types of art that U.S. adults engage with.C．The mismatch between value and behaviour as to art.D．The connection between everyday experiences and art.13. What is a mistaken idea in the author’s opinion?A．Art reveals the nature of life. B．Art gives way to material pursuits.C．Life without art is meaningless. D．Background music is a kind of art.14. What does the author want to convey in paragraph 5?A．Art awakes people’s talents.B．Art improves physical health.C．Art brings us closer to nature. D．Art makes life fuller and happier.15. What might be the best title?A．Art: A Habit, Not a Luxury B．Art: A Bridge, Not a BarrierC．Art: A Decoration, Not a Reality D．Art: A Pleasure, Not a BurdenCrab traps (蟹笼) work like this: crabs crawl in, but they don’t crawl out. 16 However, when traps get lost at sea, they become a threat to all sorts of animals.With no one there to ge t them back, the traps continue to fish, says a researcher. “Marine life gets into the trap. Eventually, they can’t eat so they die, and then other marine life becomes attracted to it. They get into the trap, and they die. 17 ”Abandoned crab traps harm wildlife and affect other fishers, especially shrimpers (捕虾者). Large and heavy crab traps get caught in shrimping nets, tearing them open or blocking them from catching shrimp. Helpless shrimpers, with nowhere to put the smelly traps, generally just throw them back, continuing the cycle.But a group in Mississippi has found a solution: 18 In just three years, the program has removed almost 3,000 crab traps from Mississippi waters. Crab traps are marked, and those that are still in good condition are returned to their owners, while traps that are too broken down are recycled.19 Wildlife is safer, the water is cleaner and there’s been a clear trend that shrimpers are encountering fewer traps.Chloé Dubois, head of a nonprofit focused on marine debris (废弃物), calls it “a great success story.” Dubois says there have been programs historically very successful at recycling waste products at the end of their life cycle. But in the ghost fishing and marine debris field, she says, “ 20 There aren’t many examples of programs like this.”Emily Bhatnagar has always loved reading. “Growing up, I was really shy, so I always turned to_______,” she said. “They sort of became my best friends when I didn’t have one.”In 2019, when Emily was in her second year of high school, her dad was diagnosed with cancer. The news was difficult for the family. Books became an even bigger _______ and she started thinking about kids in _______ situations.When her father recovered, she came up with a plan to _______ others. “The idea came from just great thankfulness that the doctors were able to perform such a(n) _______,” she says. “But also a little _______ that there were kids who were fighting the same battle.”Emily started a book drive (书籍捐赠活动) in her hometown. The goal was to _______ books and give them to _______ being treated for cancer in local hospitals. Since the start of the book drive, which she calls For Love & Buttercup, Emily has collected more than 10,000 books.Emily had no idea how much _______ her work would get. She started by posting on social media, asking people in her area to ________. “I was expecting maybe two or three ________from neighbors,” she says. “But it ended up ________,” especially when news stations began reporting it.

AAll living organisms are uniquely adapted to the environment in which they live. Scientists are studying the design and the biological processes of these organisms to get ideas for products and technologies. This field of study is called biomimetic. Here are two examples.Toucan Bills and Car SafetyToucan usually has enormous bills. Scientists have found that the toucan's beak is designed to be both strong and light. The surface is made of keratin, the same material in human fingernails and hair. But the inside of the bill has a foam-like structure and is made up of a network of light, thin pieces of bone. It contains a lot of air, and some areas are hollow, not solid. This design makes the bill hard but very light.The design of the toucan bill can be used to make cars and planes safer. Studies show that the beak's structure can absorb high energy impacts very well. Car body panels that mimic toucan bills may offer better protection to motorists involved in crashes.Shark Scales and SwimsuitsShark skin may look smooth, but it's actually rough. Sharks are covered in scales made from the same material as their teeth. Viewed up close, the scales actually look like tiny teeth. These scales protect the shark and help to keep it clean. They are also flexible and can turn or bend in the water. This movement reduces the waters drag on the shark and helps it to swim quickly.Scientists discovered that the shortfin mako's scales vary in size and flexibility over its body. For instance, the scales on the sides of the body are tapered — wide at one end and narrow at the other. They can turn up or flatten to adjust to the flow of water around the shark and to reduce drag.Scientists believe that shark scales can inspire designs for machines that experience drag, such as airplanes. Designers are also getting ideas from shark scales for designing swimwear and coating ship bottoms.1. Why do car body panels copy the design of toucan bill?A. To better protect passers-by.B. To reduce the injury to drivers.C. To decrease the chances of crashes.D. To make cars lighter and easier to control.2. What product or technology is inspired by shark scales?A. Coating for ship bottoms to run faster.B. Coating for airplanes to experience drag.C. The panel that makes the plane safer.D. Swimwear that is smooth to keep itself clean.3. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To present two innovative products.B. To introduce biomimetics by example.C. To show the unique adaptations of animals.D. To discuss the link between humans and animals.『答案』1. B 2. A 3. B『解析』这是一篇说明文。

My father is a truck driver. One evening, he took me to meet my mother from work.We were waiting in the truck when my father smelled something smelly（焦味的）. He looked behind and saw smoke coming from a house not far from our truck. He quickly ran to the house. I saw fire when he opened the door and went inside. He came out with a woman and rushed back in for her children. He didn't stop until all the children were out. When the firemen arrived, we wentback to wait for my mother.My father didn't tell this matter to my mother. The next day, the story in the newspaper said that the people saved from the house fire were trying to find the man and to thank him. My father just said that they had more important things to be concerned with.My father has a mental detector(金属探测器). He has found a lot of change, jewelry andjunk(旧物). The most valuable thing he found was a gold badge(徽章) which was given to a nurse when she graduated. It had a last name and a date in the early 1950s. He did some research and knew that the owner was now in a nursing home several hundred miles away. The next Sunday, he drove to see the owner. The old woman was very happy. The badge had been lost for over 50 years. She asked my father how much he wanted for the badge and he refused any reward (酬金).Any one of these events makes my father a hero, but he never stops. I have learned from him that being a hero means doing whatever you can whenever you can. I can't wait to see what hewill do next.41.

It's a question faced hundreds of times by Xiao Yang, whose online film Old Boys is resonating (共鸣) deeply with Chinese born in the 1970s and 1980s.In the movie, Xiao plays a wedding party host who loves singing, while his real -life business partner Wang Taili plays a hairdresser who loves dancing. But their youthful dreams have been replaced by reality. At the end of the movie, the two old boys walk onto a talent show to realize their dreams, even though everyone is making fun of them.The film has been viewed online more than 26 million times since its Oct 28 debut. “I didn't see that coming,”said Xiao, 31, who makes a living by shooting commercials(拍摄商业广告）, but who had long considered shooting a film. The old boys' story came easily. As fans of Michael Jackson, Xiao and Wang told a story about ordinary people recapturing（获取，实现）their lost dreams---performing Michael Jackson's songs on the stage--- in memory of their icon and theirown dying dreams. “In 2009, when Michael Jackson died, so many young people were sad, perhaps not so much because the person had died, but that since their idol（偶像）was dead, they feel that this signals the end of youth,”Xiao recalled. “At that time, I was working like crazy and I didn't know why. I wanted a way to express this feeling, and this film is the result.”What comforted（安慰）the two men most was that this film changed some people's lives. Many citizens, who cried during the final scenes, say the film reawakened their dreams. Wang saidhe wept (哭泣) many times while writing the lyrics（歌词）, which to some extent were mainly更多精品文档．学习-----好资料based on his own decades-long singing dream.

It's estimated（估计）that at the beginning of 2013, there could be as many as 240 million microbloggers in China.Clearly, microblogs become a growing phenomenon(现象).更多精品文档．学习-----好资料Microblogs are becoming a powerful and efficient way of effecting change and drummingup(争取) publicity for different causes.Take Peng Gaofeng for example. In February, Peng's 3 year-old son was abducted(诱拐) in Shenzhen in 2008. Peng spent three fruitless years searching for him. Finally, the police advised Peng to give up hope. But a friend decided to take matters into his own hands and posted a photo of Peng's son on his microblog. Peng later received a tip-off from an Internet user in Jiangsu Province, who commented that he had seen a boy who looked like Peng's son. Happily, this led to peng and his son being reunited.So, why are microblogs so powerful in the modern media age? In an interview with TheBeijing News, Professor Yu showed four main reasons why micro-blogs can outstrip(超过) other forms of media.Speed: Microblogs are a relentlessly fast medium. “This represents the new direction of Web development,”said Yu.Fragmented: “Microblog users might be at the scene of an unfolding story, alongside or ahead of traditional media.”Direct: “Microblogs are direct because there is no mediator,”said Yu.Micro-power: “Microblogs is nothing more than each individual taking responsibility,”said Yu.Some commentators(评论家) have criticized services such as Twitter and micro-blogs, saying that there are no checks to separate rumors(谣言) from reality. For instance, rumors that iodized salt could help guard against radiation poisoning spread on microblogs in March. This followed fears that radiation could spread to China from Japan's crippled Daiichi Nuclear Plant. Online rumors triggered(引起)the panic buying of salt in some Chinese cities.However, it would appear that micro-blogs are here to stay, and some commentators even put microblogs ahead of media for popularity and reliability.51. Which of the following is true about Peng Gaofeng?A. He lost his son in Jiangsu in 2008B. The police helped him find his sonC. He finally gave up looking for his sonD.
