This was what Samuel would spend years fighting against.The Orang Asli community has struggled with poverty,melting into society,and losing their own identity and culture due to others' disregard of it. Samuel saw that the main barrier in teaching these children was the attitude on the part of many teachers that the native children were not worth their efforts. It was thought that whatever was taught would make no difference,so nobody bothered to try. The children themselves ended up believing these stigmas（污名），often doubting what they can achieve. Teachers skipped or slept in classes and little effort was made to create an appropriate learning environment. Consequently,the school was one of the worst-performing in the district. Samuel bonded with his native students and accepted their culture,leading him to see their potential. However, he also came to see that they did not have equal opportunities compared to urban schools,due to the lack of facilities. So he set up crowdfunding project to create a fully equipped 21st-century English classroom with tablets and computers. The Orang Asli children now learn technology,experience English and communicate in English with volunteers all over Malaysia and overseas.Consequently,the students have improved in national standardized examinations,from a pass rate of 30% in English （2008-2012）to an average of 80%（2013-2017）. These efforts have resulted in a shift of what local children are considered capable of academically.4.What did the teacher's words suggest about the native children？______A. They were intelligent.B. They were hopeless.C. They were unfriendly.D. They were independent.5.What major problem did Samuel need to solve？______A. The poverty of local people.B. The lack of facilities in his school.C. The prejudice against the native kids.D. The unsuitable teaching methods.6.What is paragraph 3 mainly about？______A. The change of native students.B. The importance of learning English.C. The improvement of native education.D. Samuel's work for the native kids.7.What can we learn from Samuel's story？______A. Respect makes a big difference.B. The academic performance comes first.C. Everyone deserves access to education.D. One method can't apply to each situation.CA shocking 53.6 million tons of electronic waste were discarded（丢弃）last year,a new UN-backed report has revealed. The report shows that e-waste is up 21% from five years ago. This isn't surprising, considering how many more people are adopting new technology and updating devices regularly to have the latest versions, but the report also shows that national collection and recycling strategies are nowhere close to matching consumption rates.E-waste contains materials including copper（铜），iron,gold and silver,which the report gives conservative value of ＄57 billion. But most are thrown away or burned rather than being collected for recycling. Precious metals in waste are estimated to be worth ＄14 billion, but only ＄4 billion-worth is recovered at the moment.While the number of countries with national e-waste policies has grown from 61 to 78 since 2014，there is little encouragement to obey and a mere 17% of collected items are recycled. If recycling does occur,it's often under dangerous conditions, such as burning circuit boards to recover copper,which "releases highly poisonous metals" and harms the health of workers.The report found that Asia has the highest amounts of waste overall,producing 24.9 million metric tons（MMT），followed by Europe at 12 MMT，Africa at 2.9 MMT，and Oceania at 0.7 MMT.But whose responsibility is it？Are government in charge of setting up collection and recycling points,or shouldcompanies be responsible for recycling the goods they produce？It goes both ways. Companies do need to be held accountable by government regulations and have incentives to design products that are easily repaired. At the same time,governments need to make it easy for citizens to access collection points and deal with their broken electronics in a convenient way. Otherwise,they may turn to the easiest option-the landfill.8.What can we learn from the first paragraph？______A. What e-waste refers to.B. Where e-waste is collected.C. Why e-waste is increasing rapidly.D. How many kinds e-waste includes.9.What do the statistics in paragraph 2 show？______A. The functions of policies.B. The great damage to environment.C. The change of consumption rates.D. The urgency of recovering e-waste.10.What is the problem with recycling e-waste at present？______A. It does harm to the workers' health.B. It lacks national policy support.C. It hardly makes profits.D. It takes too much time.11.How should the problem be solved according to the passage？______A. New technology should be used to update old devices.B. Governments and companies should take responsibilities.C. Non-poisonous metals had better be used in e-device.D. Citizens must play a key role in recycling e-waste.DSome termite（白蚁）species have figured out how to enjoy the shelter of the huge complex nests that the insects build without contributing to their construction. They avoid the full anger of their builder hosts by being extremelyeasy-going.Animals that live in the nests of another species without affecting them are known as inquilines. Inquiline termites areunique among termites in being unable to make their own nests. Instead,they live in the hallways built by another termite, Constrictotermes cyphergaster. Until now,it has been unclear how the two parties kept peaceful in such tight quarters because termites are typically very aggressive towards outsiders.Helder Hugo at the University of Konstanz in Germany and his colleagues collected Constrictotermes cyphergaster's nests in the Brazilian Cerrado and brought them into the laboratory. They then placed host and tenant（房客）termites in either open or narrow areas and used video to track and record the ways in which the two species reacted to each other.Right from the start,the inquiline termites moved around less than their hosts and interacted little with them,even in the much narrower area. "Many times," says Hugo,"when two unrelated groups are put together in a limitedspace-such as an experimental area-the outcome is conflict with losses from both sides." But that didn't happen here. Despite attacks from host termites,the tenant termites were obedient. Hosts would bite or attack the inquilines with strong chemicals, but their targets never responded in the same way, choosing to flee. Some ignored the hosts completely."We did not expect that they would never fight back," says Hugo,noting that the inquilines are capable of protecting their own place with mouths. "By preventing conflict going worse,inquiline termites may considerably improve their chances of living together with their host termites peacefully.""Passiveness does not necessarily lead to defeat,but can be a very useful strategy,saving energy and resources," she adds. "Nature may not always be red in tooth and claw,and aggression is not any more successful a strategy than'cowardice' （懦弱）."12.What is the feature of the inquiline termites？______A. They live in another termite species' nests.B. They are aggressive towards outsiders.C. They like to build their own nests.D. They are communicative tenants.13.What do you learn about the experiment in paragraph 3？______A. The differences between the two species.B. The findings of the observation.C. The living habits of termites.D. The process of the research.14.What does Hugo think of the inquiline termites' living strategy？______A. Aggressive.B. Unacceptable.C. Effective.D. Dangerous.15.What's the best title for the text？______A. The Characteristics of TermitesB. Passiveness Doesn't Necessarily Lead to DefeatC. The Relationship Between Host and Tenant TermitesD. Termites Use Cowardice to Avoid Their Hosts' Anger二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Camping is great way to spend family time.

But Beatie Deutsch is anything but typical.The 30-year-old mother of five is ranked as one of the top women marathon runners in the world and,as of today, has qualified for the 32nd Summer Olympics. What impresses people more deeply is that, unlike many Olympic hopefuls who have been training their whole lives, Deutsch only took up running four years ago.Why did she train for a marathon？"I was really out of shape after having five kids," she said. "So I set the goal for myself of running a marathon and that helped me. I needed something to be motivated to get out there and train every day. I didn't ever expect it to take me to this." The Israeli press has been tracking her with pride,calling her "Speedy Beatie". Hoping to add more purpose to her newfound fame, Deutsch uses her running as a way to raise money for a charity Beit Daniella. This nonprofit organisation provides a recovery center for youths whoare struggling with mental health issues.That mission（使命）is helping fuel her Olympic dreams. At the Tiberias Marathon last month,Deutsch was the fastest woman in the race. This past September, she finished the Cape Town Marathon in two hours and thirty- six minutes. That's a few minutes shy of her personal best of two hours and twenty-nine minutes, a time that qualifies her for the Olympics. She will try to shave even more time off when she competes in the Rotterdam Marathon this April.It's remarkable for someone who started her athletic career in her late 20s. "I always tell people to have big dreams, and set huge goals. Don't get caught up in the place where we are right now and have tunnel vision and are limited in what we see of ourselves," said Deutsch, who now travels the world as a motivational speaker.4.What is the main reason for Deutsch's being impressive？______A. Her typical birth place.B. Her five lovely children.C. Her identity as a marathon runner.D. Her short time involved in running.5.Which word can best describe Deutsch？______A. Creative.B. Caring.C. Modest.D. Adaptable.6.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 5______A. Deutsch's dream.B. Deutsch's mission.C. Deutsch's achievement.D. Deutsch's shy personality.7.What lesson is the author most likely to share？______A. Life lies in movement.B. Dream big and aim high.C. Interest is the best teacher.D. Wealth is nothing without health.CLitterati is an app that people can use to upload information about litter they collect outside,such as its appearance, material, location, and brand. Shared online, this information contributes to building a global database of "litter maps"，which can influence policy and packaging design."Society's failure to solve the litter problem has not been from a lack of trying. There have been public service announcements, and coastal cleanups. But I believe two components are missingfrom the discussion- community and data," said Jeff Kirschner, the developer of Litterati app. uploading pictures to an app shows users that they're hot the only ones picking up litter from public places and that others are invested in cleaning the planet, too. And the data accumulates rapidly,telling a story that helps people understand who picked up what, where, and when. In this way, people are encouraged to do more.In San Francisco, the Litterati app was able to identify and map more than 5，000 pieces of litter in order to determine how much was caused by cigarettes specifically. Using this information the city successfully challenged a lawsuit by tobacco companies and doubled an existing cigarette sales tax,bringing in US ＄4 million annual revenue（税收）.By joining forces with others using the same platform,individuals are able to take theiranti-litter activism to another level. The power of combined data leads to more Extended Producer Responsibility,which is precisely what we want and advocate here-producers are forced to be responsible for dealing with their own products once consumers no longer find them useful and are incentivized to create more environmentally friendly packaging or better policies as a result of that new responsibility.Litterati takes a refreshingly non-judgmental approach. It shows a positive we - can - do - it attitude. Just as Jeff Kirschner said,"Our goal isn't to shame. It's to provide transparency to the problem. We provide access to data and share insights with cities, citizens and businesses, guiding us all to identify the root cause of the problem, and make informed decisions of how to clean the planet."8.What makes us fail to solve the litter problem according to Kirschner？______A. Lack of necessary data about litter.B. The public's laziness in taking action.C. People's poor environmental awareness.D. Absence of government publicity and support.9.Why are tobacco companies mentioned？______A. To show the influence of Litterati.B. To describe the details of the map.C. To warn people of the harm of cigarettes.D. To prove the large consumption of tobacco.10.What does the underlined word "incentivized" in paragraph 5 most probably mean？______A. Allowed.B. Appointed.C. Inspired.D. Believed.11.What is the advantage of Litterati？______A. It can sort out litter automatically.B. It makes litter problem transparent.C. It can shame people into not littering.D. It can guide people when they collect litter.DResearchers have watched Asian honey bees hunt for animal feces （粪便），carry it home, and then apply it around the entrance to their nests. Their findings document the behavior for the first time."It turns out that by applying animal feces around colony entrances, Asian honey bees are able to stop giant hornets （大黄蜂）from their nest entrances. The hornets are less likely to try to break into the colonies by landing and chewing at their entrances in a multiple-hornet attack, which is the most deadly kind of hornet attack that honey bees experience," lead researcher Heather Mattila said.Called "fecal spotting"，what the bees are doing is using a tool, researchers suggest. "Tool is a controversial topic and the criteria to identify it have been defined and redefined many times over," Matilla says. "Across the majority of definitions,we look for an animal holding something, placing it with intentionality, and using it in a way that improves the function of the thing that the tool was applied to. This behavior of honey bees meets all of these criteria." Mattila and her fellows have been studying Asian honey bees in Vietnam since 2013. They've done fieldwork watching colonies in wooden hives（蜂房）managed by local beekeepers. They cleaned the front of the hives and then tracked how the bees looked for animal feces to build up defenses against their hornet enemies.They found that giant hornets were much less likely to land on hive entrances or chew their way into the hives when there were more fecal spots around the entrances.Attacks by groups of giant hornets can sometimes wipe out entire colonies of honey bees so protective measures like these are key to survival. Interestingly, the animal feces keeps away the hornets, but the bees don't have a problem picking it up or toting it around."At this point, we don't know why animal feces disgusts hornets but is attractive to bees," Matilla says. "It is definitely something that needs to be studied further."12.Why do Asian honey bees take animal feces home______A. To build their nests.B. To defend their nests.C. To shelter nest entrances.D. To set a trap for enemies.13.What is the purpose of paragraph 3？______A. To show tool use is a Controversial topic.B. To show the concept of tool use is hard to define.C. To show there are many definitions about tool use.D. To show "fecal spotting" is a tool using phenomenon.14.What puzzles researchers in the study______A. How honey bees find animal feces.B. Why giant hornets attack honey bees.C. What is the key to honey bees' survival.D. Why giant hornets hate feces while bees don't.15.What can be the best title for the passage？______A. Honey Bees Are Cleverer than Giant HornetsB. Tool Using Skills Make Honey Bees Stand OutC. Honey Bees Employ Tools to Fight Giant HornetsD. Honey Bees Use Various Ways to Defend Hornets二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）Exam-taking doesn't come easy to many people. The experience is often stressful. Here are some tips on making better preparations for your math exam.Set up a study schedule and stick to it. Begin your schedule several weeks before your math exam.（1）______ Choose a schedule that provides for regular work but does not require so much attention that you become burnt out.Work through classroom and homework problems and practice tests. This is very useful. Practice tests will familiarize you with similar questions that will be on the exam and will get you used to writing under time pressure. （2）______Attend review sessions with teaching assistants and instructors. Ask questions whenever you are confused. Bring the problems you've been working on.（3）______ Focus on problems where you consistently arrive at the incorrect answer and can't identify the reason.

They call on people to learn about classical works.B. They appeal to people for contributions to charities.C. They encourage more people to build up their body.D. They raise people's awareness of protecting the environment.BIt's not often to see a woman who's seven months pregnant running a marathon. But Beatie Deutsch is anything but typical.The 30-year-old mother of five is ranked as one of the top women marathon runners in the world and,as of today, has qualified for the 32nd Summer Olympics. What impresses people more deeply is that, unlike many Olympic hopefuls who have been training their whole lives, Deutsch only took up running four years ago.Why did she train for a marathon？"I was really out of shape after having five kids," she said. "So I set the goal for myself of running a marathon and that helped me. I needed something to be motivated to get out there and train every day. I didn't ever expect it to take me to this." The Israeli press has been tracking her with pride,calling her "Speedy Beatie". Hoping to add more purpose to her newfound fame, Deutsch uses her running as a way to raise money for a charity Beit Daniella. This nonprofit organisation provides a recovery center for youths whoare struggling with mental health issues.That mission（使命）is helping fuel her Olympic dreams. At the Tiberias Marathon last month,Deutsch was the fastest woman in the race. This past September, she finished the Cape Town Marathon in two hours and thirty- six minutes. That's a few minutes shy of her personal best of two hours and twenty-nine minutes, a time that qualifies her for the Olympics. She will try to shave even more time off when she competes in the Rotterdam Marathon this April.It's remarkable for someone who started her athletic career in her late 20s. "I always tell people to have big dreams, and set huge goals. Don't get caught up in the place where we are right now and have tunnel vision and are limited in what we see of ourselves," said Deutsch, who now travels the world as a motivational speaker.4.What is the main reason for Deutsch's being impressive？______A. Her typical birth place.B. Her five lovely children.C. Her identity as a marathon runner.D. Her short time involved in running.5.Which word can best describe Deutsch？______A. Creative.B. Caring.C. Modest.D. Adaptable.6.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 5______A. Deutsch's dream.B. Deutsch's mission.C. Deutsch's achievement.D. Deutsch's shy personality.7.What lesson is the author most likely to share？______A. Life lies in movement.B. Dream big and aim high.C. Interest is the best teacher.D. Wealth is nothing without health.CLitterati is an app that people can use to upload information about litter they collect outside,such as its appearance, material, location, and brand. Shared online, this information contributes to building a global database of "litter maps"，which can influence policy and packaging design."Society's failure to solve the litter problem has not been from a lack of trying. There have been public service announcements, and coastal cleanups. But I believe two components are missingfrom the discussion- community and data," said Jeff Kirschner, the developer of Litterati app. uploading pictures to an app shows users that they're hot the only ones picking up litter from public places and that others are invested in cleaning the planet, too. And the data accumulates rapidly,telling a story that helps people understand who picked up what, where, and when. In this way, people are encouraged to do more.In San Francisco, the Litterati app was able to identify and map more than 5，000 pieces of litter in order to determine how much was caused by cigarettes specifically. Using this information the city successfully challenged a lawsuit by tobacco companies and doubled an existing cigarette sales tax,bringing in US ＄4 million annual revenue（税收）.By joining forces with others using the same platform,individuals are able to take theiranti-litter activism to another level. The power of combined data leads to more Extended Producer Responsibility,which is precisely what we want and advocate here-producers are forced to be responsible for dealing with their own products once consumers no longer find them useful and are incentivized to create more environmentally friendly packaging or better policies as a result of that new responsibility.Litterati takes a refreshingly non-judgmental approach. It shows a positive we - can - do - it attitude. Just as Jeff Kirschner said,"Our goal isn't to shame. It's to provide transparency to the problem. We provide access to data and share insights with cities, citizens and businesses, guiding us all to identify the root cause of the problem, and make informed decisions of how to clean the planet."8.What makes us fail to solve the litter problem according to Kirschner？______A. Lack of necessary data about litter.B. The public's laziness in taking action.C. People's poor environmental awareness.D. Absence of government publicity and support.9.Why are tobacco companies mentioned？______A. To show the influence of Litterati.B. To describe the details of the map.C. To warn people of the harm of cigarettes.D. To prove the large consumption of tobacco.10.What does the underlined word "incentivized" in paragraph 5 most probably mean？______A. Allowed.B. Appointed.C. Inspired.D. Believed.11.What is the advantage of Litterati？______A. It can sort out litter automatically.B. It makes litter problem transparent.C. It can shame people into not littering.D. It can guide people when they collect litter.DResearchers have watched Asian honey bees hunt for animal feces （粪便），carry it home, and then apply it around the entrance to their nests. Their findings document the behavior for the first time."It turns out that by applying animal feces around colony entrances, Asian honey bees are able to stop giant hornets （大黄蜂）from their nest entrances. The hornets are less likely to try to break into the colonies by landing and chewing at their entrances in a multiple-hornet attack, which is the most deadly kind of hornet attack that honey bees experience," lead researcher Heather Mattila said.Called "fecal spotting"，what the bees are doing is using a tool, researchers suggest. "Tool is a controversial topic and the criteria to identify it have been defined and redefined many times over," Matilla says. "Across the majority of definitions,we look for an animal holding something, placing it with intentionality, and using it in a way that improves the function of the thing that the tool was applied to. This behavior of honey bees meets all of these criteria." Mattila and her fellows have been studying Asian honey bees in Vietnam since 2013. They've done fieldwork watching colonies in wooden hives（蜂房）managed by local beekeepers. They cleaned the front of the hives and then tracked how the bees looked for animal feces to build up defenses against their hornet enemies.They found that giant hornets were much less likely to land on hive entrances or chew their way into the hives when there were more fecal spots around the entrances.Attacks by groups of giant hornets can sometimes wipe out entire colonies of honey bees so protective measures like these are key to survival. Interestingly, the animal feces keeps away the hornets, but the bees don't have a problem picking it up or toting it around."At this point, we don't know why animal feces disgusts hornets but is attractive to bees," Matilla says. "It is definitely something that needs to be studied further."12.Why do Asian honey bees take animal feces home______A. To build their nests.B. To defend their nests.C. To shelter nest entrances.D. To set a trap for enemies.13.What is the purpose of paragraph 3？______A. To show tool use is a Controversial topic.B. To show the concept of tool use is hard to define.C. To show there are many definitions about tool use.D. To show "fecal spotting" is a tool using phenomenon.14.What puzzles researchers in the study______A. How honey bees find animal feces.B. Why giant hornets attack honey bees.C. What is the key to honey bees' survival.D. Why giant hornets hate feces while bees don't.15.What can be the best title for the passage？______A. Honey Bees Are Cleverer than Giant HornetsB. Tool Using Skills Make Honey Bees Stand OutC. Honey Bees Employ Tools to Fight Giant HornetsD. Honey Bees Use Various Ways to Defend Hornets二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）Exam-taking doesn't come easy to many people. The experience is often stressful.

"You can use me as a last resort （选择）．and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids' lacrosse （长曲棍球）club．I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport． She may just need a little persuading． So I try again and ________． I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren't even on…At this point the unwilling parent speaks up, "Alright． Yes, I'll do it．"I'm secretly relieved because I know there's real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many． The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end ﹣ of ﹣ season gifts． Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team． The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season． Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal．Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close． That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community as you freely give yourtime, money, skills, or services provides a real joy． Volunteering just feels so good．In that sense． I'm pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I'd freely like to admit． However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies?（1）What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph 1？________A.

None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel's "me" time．And like more Americans, she's not alone．A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America． More than half（53 percent）have breakfast alone and nearly half（46 percent）have lunch by themselves．Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore, 74 percent, according to statistics from the report．"I prefer to go out and be out．Alone, but together, you know? " Bechtel said, looking up from her book．Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk．A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder．She retuns to work feeling energized．"Today, I just wanted some time to myself, "she said．Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar．He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first﹣name basis if he wants to have a little interaction（交流）． "I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week, "he said, "It's a chance for self﹣reflection．You return to work recharged and with a plan．"That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone．There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over．Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table．"It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology, " said Laurie Demeritt, whose company provided the statistics for the report．（1）What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about？________A.Food variety．B.Eating habits．C.Table manners．D.Restaurant service．．（2）Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch？________A.To meet with her coworkers．B.To catch up with her work．C.To have some time on her own．D.To collect data for her report．．（3）What do we know about Mazoleny？________A.He makes videos for the bar．B.He's fond of the food at the bar．C.He interviews customers at the bar．D.He's familiar with the barkeeper．．（4）What is the text mainly about？________A.The trend of having meals alone．B.The importance of self﹣reflection．C.The stress from working overtime．D.The advantage of wireless technology．4.
