Those shining stars were one of the4 treats for people like us who lived out in the wildness(荒凉).

Donna wasa shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell."Sure, honey, that sounds great." I said, thinking back to my own best friend, Lillian. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a big smile.In senior high school, Lillian went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. "I'll be back soon." she told me. But three days later, Lillian's sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn't come out any more. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey. Whenever I thought of her, tears came into my eyes.The next day Donna brought her new friend home. "Hi, Mrs. Loggia." the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she smiled brightly. "My name is Laura."My daughter's new friend was so much like Lillian. I was still puzzled(迷惑)when Laura's mom came to pick her up later that afternoon. I opened the door to let her in. "Judy!" she cried. "It's me, Lillian’s sister, from Washington Heights.” Y es, my daughter's friend looked famili ar(熟悉). Lillian is her aunt.1．The underlined phrase in the first paragraph “to bring her out of her shell” means “__________”.A．to help her live happily B．to help her become smartC．to help her walk out of her house D．to help her become less shy2．Laura looked familiar to the writer because she __________A．was Donna's good friend B．was from Washington HeightsC．was as old as her daughter D．had shiny black hair and a big smile, too3．Why did the writer lose her best friend?A．Because she moved to New Jersey. B．Because her best friend travelled to Florida.C．Because her best friend lost her life on a trip. D．Because they were different from each other.4．What can we infer(推断)from the passage?A．Laura is as outgoing as her aunt Lillian.B．Laura and Donna are both in the high school.C．Donna and Laura have been friends for a long time.D．Judy moved to New Jersey because of Lillian's death.B14、London has a new magazine. But it is not printed on paper. Everyone who has a television can receive it because it is on TVIn order to read this magazine, you have to have a decoder(解码器).Each page of it is numberes, so you only have todial(拨号)the number to choose which subject you want to read about. There are all kinds of information一everything is included from cooking to the latest sports news.If you want to read the news, the first thing you have to do is to turn to the back page, which has an easy-to-remember page number, 100, for example. Then you start choosing what you want to read. The news is on page 101 to 109, so you put in the numbers and the news appears written across your screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and a brightly colored weather map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrible, so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a list of the week's best bargains(廉价商品). But should you drive or take the train? To answer that question, you only have to press 189 for the traffic report. It is very simple to use. But probably the best thing about the service is that it is being updated(更新)all the time. Journalists type new material directly onto the screen and all the pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes.London already has three services. One, sent out by TV, is called ORACLE while the other two, on BBC, are called CEEFAX because they let you see facts. Although CEEFAX and ORACLE have been operating for some time, they have not been well publicized(宣传). BBC engineers do not think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you everywhere. But many people would agree that is a breakthrough(突破)as great as the invention of printing, which could not just change our reading habits but our whole way of life.1．We can know from the passage that in London .A．the magazine is available(可获取的)at any local libraryB．most of the postmen will lose their jobs some dayC．everyone can read this magazine if they have a televisionD．the readers can get all kinds of information staying at home2．In the sentence "Each page of it is numbered," the word "it" refers to the .A．magazine B．programC．decoder D．subject3．According to the passage, the "decoder" is used to help people .A．work out the total of certain numbersB．read the information sent by TV signalsC．go shopping and have other entertainmentD．receive some special TV program for entertainment4．The passage is mainly about ·A．a new magazine printed in LondonB．an up-to-date way of getting informationC．a popular TV program about magazinesD．an advanced technology helping people communicateC15、Anyone who has had a long-term illness knows that recovering at home can be lonely. This is can be especially true of children. They may feel isolated（孤立的）from their friends and classmates. Now, a small robot may help children who are recovering from a long-term illness in the hospital or at home. The robot takes their place at school. Through the robot, the children can hear their teachers and friends. They can also take part in classroom activities from wherever they are recovering – whether at home or from a hospital bed.The robot is called AV1.It is created by a company called “No Isolation”. A V1 goes to school for a child who is at home while recovering from a long-term illness. And the child’s school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child’s desk.Dolva, one co-funder （创始人）of No Isolation.explains how the robot AV1 works. She says, “the robot sits at the child's desk in the classroom and the child at home uses a tablet（平板电脑）or a phone to start it, control its movement with touch, and talk through it. So the robot becomes the eyes, the ears and the voice of the child at school.” The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communicating easy. Moreover，The A VI was designed to be tough. It is water-resistant(防水) and can take a fall from a desk without damage. Inside A V1 is a small computer connected to a 4G network. AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva thinks this is important because therobot is expected to be a friend to the children.The robot just became available to the public. Hopefully A V1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from class.1．Where can we most probably read this passage?A．In a health report B．In a science magazineC．In a travel guide D．In a science fiction2．What can children do with the help of the robot?A．They can recover from a long-term illness very soonB．They can see their teachers and friends at any timeC．They can do classroom activities at home or at a hospital bedD．They can ask the robot to do homework for them3．What does “it” in “the robot sits at... a phone to start it”mean?A．the teacher B．the tablet C．the robot D．the phone4．A V1 has all the features (特点) except _________.A．It has speakers, microphones and camerasB．It has the same eyes, ears and voice as childrenC．It is large and looks like humanD．It has a computer connected to 4G network5．Which one is the best title for this passage?.A．Robot helps sick children feel less lonelyB．Recovering from a long-term illnessC．A V1, a great robotD．Robot helps students at schoolD16、A LITTLE PRINCESSAuthor(作者): Frances Hodgson Burnett￥18 (online)Motherless Sara Crewe was sent home from India to school at Miss Minchin’s.

Often called the “Oscars for dogs”, the award recognizes dogs who make extremely great contributions to society.The competition of 2020 attracted over 400 entries（参赛者）from across the country. These heroic dogs have gone above the call of duty, saving lives, comforting the ill and aged and reminding us of the powerful, age-old ties between animals and people. While all were impressive, it was tiny MacKenzie who wonthe judges' hearts.MacKenzie's growth was not easy. Born with a mouth disability, she had to be fed through a tube（管子）for the first year of her life. Despite her own struggles, she always seemed to think more of other animals in need. “Never have I seen such a will to live. Though sick, she carefully looked after the baby animals at the rescue（救助）center,” said her caretaker.A life-saving operation performed in 2014 gave MacKenzie the ability to eat independently. The seven-year-old chihuahua is now working for the Mia Foundation, an organization that rescues and nurses animals with inborn disabilities. The chihuahua does an excellent job and has raised various animals. She plays nurse, cleans, comforts and hugs them, acting as their mother and teaching them how to socialize, play and have good manners.In addition to her role as an animal caretaker, MacKenzie also visits schools to educate kids about the importance of accepting physical differences in both animals and people.

This is the first time the two species have been sorted separately. In the past, elephants were mostly considered as either Asian elephants or African elephants. Forest and savanna elephants were typically classified as subspecies of African elephants.The African forest elephant is now listed as critically endangered and the African savanna elephant as endangered. The number of African forest elephants fell by more than 86% over a 31 -year assessment period. The population of African savanna elephants dropped by at least 60% over the last 50 years, according to the IUCN, which tracks the assessment risk of the world's animals. Africa currently has an estimated 415,000 elephants, counting the two species together.Both elephant species experienced significant population decreases because of poaching. Although it peaked in 2011, illegal hunting still happens and continues to threaten elephant populations. African elephants also face continued habitat loss as their land isconvertedfor agriculture or other uses.There is some good conservation news, the IUCN points out. Anti-poaching measures, combined with better land use planning to support better human-wildlife relationships, have helped conservation efforts. Some forestelephant population figures have stabilized in well-managed areas in Gabon and the Republic of Congo and savanna population figures have remained stable or have been growing, particularly in the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area in southern Africa.But with constant demand for ivory and increasing human pressures on Africa's wild lands, concern for Africa's elephants is high, and the need to creatively conserve and wisely manage these animals and their habitats is more severe than ever.8. What can be inferred from the new report about African elephants?A. They are divided into three kinds.B. They are dying out.C. Their threat is mainly from poaching.D. Their population has grown in Africa.9. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 3?A. The detailed number of African elephants.B. The similarities of African elephants.C. The different types of African elephants.D. The present situation of African elephants.10. What does the underlined word "converted" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Expanded.B. Protected.C. Transformed.D. Forbidden.11. What's the authors attitude to the present situation of African elephants?A. Hopeless.B. Optimistic.C. Uncertain.D. Worried.DEver wondered if dogs can learn new words? Yes, say researchers as they have found that talented dogs may have the ability to grasp new words after hearing them only four times.While previous evidence seems to show that most dogs do not learn words, unless eventually very well trained, a few individuals have shown some extraordinary abilities, according to a study published in the journal Scientific Reports.“We wanted to know under which conditions the gifted dogs may learn novel words” said researcher xuekw Claudia Fugazza from theEötvösLorándUniversityinHungary. For the study, the team involved two gifted dogs, Whisky and Vicky Nina. The team exposed the dogs to the new words in two different conditions.In the exclusion-based task, presented with seven known toys and one new toy, the dogs were able to select the new toy when presented with a new name. Researchers say this proves that dogs can choose by exclusion when faced with a new word, they selected the only toy which did not have a known name.However, this was not the way they would learn the name of the toy. In fact, when they were presented with one more equally new name to test their ability to recognize the toy by its name, the dogs got totally confused andfailed.The other condition, the social one, where the dogs played with their owners who pronounced the name of the toy while playing with the dog, proved to be the successful way to learn the name of the toy, even after hearing it only 4 times. “The rapid learning that we observed seems to equal children’s ability to learn many new words at a fast rate around the age of 18 months,” Fugazza says. “But we do not know whether the learning mechanisms(机制) behind this learning are the same for humans and dogs. ”To test whether most dogs would learn words this way, 20 other dogs were tested in the same condition, but none of them showed any evidence of learning the toy names, confirming that the abilityto learn words rapidly in the absence of formal training is very rare and is only present in a few gifted dogs.12. What was the purpose of the study published in Scientific Reports?A. To better train dogs’ ability to learn new words.B. To further confirm previous evidence about dogs.C. To prove extraordinary memory abilities of gifted dogs.D. To explore favorable conditions for gifted dogs’ new-word learning.13. How did the dogs react when exposed to two new names in the first condition?A. Slow to understand.B. Quick to learn.C. At a loss.D. In a panic.14. What was found about dogs’ new-word learning in the social condition?A. Learning through playing applied to most dogs.B. The social condition helped dogs learn new words.CDogs’ new-word learning turned out to be less effective.D. Dogs shared similar learning mechanisms with children.15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Gifted Dogs Can Learn New Words Rapidly.B. Dogs Identify Newly-named Toys by Exclusion.C. Dogs Can Acquire Vocabulary through Tons of Training.D. Gifted Dogs Have Similar Learning Abilities to Humans.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

They say “Sorry” for asking a question, for their bad weather or because they sneezed( 打喷嚏).British people pride themselves on their polite manners towards one another in public. As a result, they use the word "sorry" quite a lot-even when they don t really mean it! Usually,if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they would start by: saying, ”Sorry to bother(打扰)you. Do you know what time it is?” If they are five minutes late for a date, they would generally greet the person by saying, “Sorry, I'm late!”That they say sorry does not only mean they feel sad for someone else because of their problems or bad luck. In the dictionary, “sorry”. also means feeling regret because they have done something wrong. And now, think about this. Normally, when they want to ask a stranger a question, they start with "Sorry to bother you. In this situation, they aren't saying sorry because they feel sad for that person or because they feel regret.In the British culture, saying sorry, in general, is a way to be polite, especially to people who they don't know very well. Besides, it also, can bring them other benefits in their daily life. In a recent experiment, an actor asked different strangers on a rainy day if he could use their mobile phones to make a call. When he asked one group of strangers and asked them without saving sorry first, he was only 9% successful in borrowing their phones. However, when he said sorry to another group of strangers about the bad weather before asking if he could use their mobile phones, he was 47% successful.34.

It draws attention to the important role of water in our lives, the difficulties people face in getting water and solutions to these problems. It is reported by scientists that between 55 and 60per centof the adult body is made of it. In normal conditions, the human body can only stay alive three or four days without water. We need water to stay alive, yet there are billions of people all over the world who do not have access（使用) to safe drinking water.The problems facing communities without waterExcept for the obvious health problems, a shortage of clean water means that some people in some areas — often women and children — have to spend hours every day walking to and from distant water supplies(供应). This means they don’t have time to focus their attention on their work, studies and other duties. So the search for water becomes their main jobs. For many people, the access to water has become increasingly difficult because of the increasing need for a limited resource.What are the solutions?In fact, many governments and organizations have already taken actions to offer good solutions. Waste-water recycling, storing rainwater, more efficient irrigation techniques (灌溉技术) and reforestation are good examples of how water can be used more efficiently. There are also many other charities working on creating sustainable (可持续性) supplies of clean water for different communities around the world, but this important work needs to continue.What we can do to helpThe theme (主题) of World Water Day 2021 is valuing water. The value of water is about much more than its price. Without an understanding of water’s true value, we will be unable to safeguard it. What we can do to help is to support charities, take part in the World Water Day events, be careful with how we use water in our own lives. We can also visit the UN World Water Day website to find out about an event near us and help spread around the world about the importance of saving water.34. When is the World Water Day?35. How long can human stay alive without water?36. Why has the access to water become increasingly difficult?37. Who has taken actions to offer good solutions to save water?38. What can we do in our daily life to save water?（2021·东城·一模）Our brains change in many ways as we grow.In September 2020,scientists published（发表）a study about one change that happens. It shows that as we grow, our brain processes words differently. The study was led by ElissaNewport, a doctor who studies and treats the brain at Georgetown University Medical Center.The brain is an organ(器官)in the body. It controls how the body works. It also controls how we think and use our senses. It is divided into a right half and a left half. They are called hemispheres. The two hemispheres connect in the middle to send messages to each other.The study found that children have speech centers on both sides of their brains. Young children and teens use both sides of their brains to understand language. As we become adults, the brain only uses the left side for this task. This happens slowly over time. It starts around d the time we learn to talk. It finishes when we are about 19 years old.Today’s scientists have high-tech tools that can measure（测量）the brain. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is one of them. It can collect images(图像)of blood flow in the brain. Scientists can study healthy, working brains with it. They can see when a part of the brain is active, or turned on. It shows up as a set of colors in an image.In Newport’s study, 39 children and 14 adults tried to understand sentences. The team used fMRI to watch their brains. Each fMRI scan took many pictures of the brain. There were patches(斑块)of color in each picture. This showed which parts of the brain were getting the most blood. This was a sign that they were turned on and active.For the youngest kids, both sides of the brain became active when understanding sentences. The pictures showed many patches of color. By age 19, no activity showed up on the right side.Other scientists are doing research too. They are studying brain areas that process vision and memory. Newport hopes to combine(结合) her study results with work by those scientists to get a more “complete map” of how brains work.34. What does the study that was published in 2020 show?35. What does the brain do as an organ?36. According to Newport’s study, from what age do people only use the left side of their brains tounderstand language?37. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?38. Why does Newport hope to combine her study results with others’ work?（2021·房山·一模）Have you ever heard of netball？It is a team sport which is similar to both basketball and handball.Netball was first played in England in 1895 at Madame Ostenburg's College. In the first half of the 20th century, Netball's popularity continued to grow, with the game being played in many countries, it is particularly popular in Australia and NewZealand. In 1995 Netball became a "recognized" sport of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and one of the International Netball Federation's goals is to encourage the IOC to include netball in the Olympic Games Programme in the future.There are seven players on each team and they each wear a bib (5码布) which shows the name of the position they play. Players must throw the ball to one another and the aim of the game is to pass the ball to the “Goal Shooter” or “Goal Attack” who can shoot the ball into the net to score a goal. However, the key rules of netball are that you cannot bounce(拍)the ball and you cannot move your feet when you have the ball. This is called the footwork rule and it can be quite difficult to grasp (掌握) for young children playing the game! A full match lasts for one hour and in a single match often about 100 goals are scored which shows what a fast-paced and exciting game netball is.Netball is typically played by women and girls. However, at many universities, there are mixed netball leagues (联赛) in which teams must have both male and female players.In the UK, there are many different ways to try to attract women to play netball. One such plan is called "”Back to Netball” which encourages women who have not played netball since they were at school to rediscover their love for the sport and get back on the court! Walking Netball is another variation(变化形式) of the sport aimed at older women and those who want to exercise ina gentler way. So, why not watch a video of netball online and then have ago for yourself?34. What is netball similar to?35. When was netball first played?36. How long does a full netball match last?37. What is Walking Netball?38.

They design robots, build them, and write the programs that run them.But building robots isn’t cheap. Maxton Herst joined the team in the ninth grade, and later he became the captain of the robotics team. By accident, Maxton Herst saw a video about a toilet paper pyramid Maxton realized that it was possible to build a record-setting pyramid, and then sell the toilet paper to get money for their program. All the team members agreed to try his idea.Blitz Creek has been planning the pyramid since last May. One challenge was calculating(计算) how many rolls of paper were needed. The answer turned out to be27434.In late December, team members gave up part of their winter holiday to build the pyramid.The pyramid was so big that they had to build it from the inside before backing out and filling in the areas where they had been standing. It took about 16 hours, with many people working, to complete the pyramid. The final height of the pyramid was 4.95 meters tall, which is about 61 centimeters taller than the current(当前的) Guinness World Record.The pyramid opened for viewing on January 42020. Sadly, because the pyramid was in the schools front hall, it could only stay for three days. With all the excitement caused by the pyramid, it turned out to be fairly easy to sell the toilet paper. Many supporters did help Families and teachers bought half of the paper. A large company bought the rest. The team made about $10,000 from the event which will help pay for its activities.Maxton talks about the success of his crazy idea. If you've got an idea, and you know that this idea is good, push it, he says. “Don’t stop.”34. What did the students at Bullock Creek High School raise money for?35.

"The government has bought new furniture for each new home. Our new apartments have kitchens and toilets with running water. We only need to take clothes and quilts there，"Mou'se Subure，a young man from Atuleer said. "We used to live in adobe（土坯）houses and have never seen such nice apartments."The village is at the top of a 1,400-meter cliff. Villagers used an 800-meter rattan（藤）ladders with no railings（栏杆）to reach the nearest market several kilometers away once a week to sell peppers and walnuts，and to buy necessities. The ladders were their only way to the outside world. The villagers were very poor，with an income of about 3,000 yuan per year.Three years ago，the village caught the attention of the government. Soon the government spent one million yuan on a steel ladder with a handrail that has cut travel time to the nearest town from three hours to one. Now，a total of 84 families-most of the villagers-will settle in their new apartments 75 km away. The members of two families were so excited about their new homes that they moved or Monday，one day ahead of schedule.In 2016，a newspaper published some photos showing students climbing rattan ladders，somore and more tourists went to see the rattan ladders. And some even tried to climb them.After the 84 families move，Atuleer will see new tourism development. A cable car will be used to transport tourists to the village and nearby canyons（峡谷）will be developed. Some 30 better-off families will remain in the village and work in the tourist industry，running rural inns，showing tourists around and carrying bags to make money.Shaking off poverty is not the finish line，but the starting point of a new life.34. Who has bought new furniture for each new home?35. What kind of houses did the villagers live in before moving?36. How much did the government spend on the steel ladder?37.

However, this is not always true. For example, blind people cannot see, but they can still read books.The man who introduced blind people to reading was Louis Braille (1809-1852). Braille lost his eyesight at the age of three as a result of an injury. When he was ten, he went to a school for the blind in Paris. In those days, books for blind people used paper pressed against metal wire to form letters. Since the metal wire was heavy, each book weighed as much as 100 pounds. The whole system was not convenient for use. Indeed, the school library only had fourteen such books in it.In 1821, a soldier visited the school and showed the students a system for passing messages at night during times of battle. His system used paper with small, raised dots that could be felt with the fingers. Each letter of the alphabet was represented by a different pattern which consisted of twelve dots. The soldiers would drag (缓慢地移动) their fingers over the raised dots to read the message.While the students found the soldier’s idea interesting, the system was too difficult to be of practical use. However, young Louis Braille took the idea and worked on it. At the age of fifteen, he created a system with patterns of six raised dots representing each letter. ‘Braille’, the system for reading used today by blind people around the world, was thus born.The blind can easily recognize Braille with the fingers. They can also easily write in Braille with a special typewriter. Today, it is the most common system used by blind people for reading and writing, and nearly every language, including Chinese, has its own version of Braille for itspeople to use.34. Who introduced blind people to reading?35. When did a soldier visit the school and show the students a system?36. How old was Louis Braille when he created a system?37. Does the system ‘Braille’ include Chinese?38. What can you learn from Louis Braille?（2021·平谷·一模）A young Dutch inventor is trying his best to clean up floating plastic from the Pacific Ocean. He has developed a floating device（设备）to stop plastic waste moving into rivers before it reaches the high seas.Boyan Slat was just 18 years old when he invented a system for catching waste in the ocean. He also founded an environmental group called The Ocean Cleanup. Its purpose is to develop the system and move it to the right place, then get it ready for use.Last Saturday, the 25-year-old Slat announced the next step in his fight: a floating device that he calls the "Interceptor. "It removes plastic out of rivers. The device is powered by energy from the sun."We need to close the tap, which means preventing more plastic from reaching the ocean in the first place, "Slat said. He added the trash from land to sea is carried mainly through rivers.Experts say 8 million metric tons of waste flow into the ocean each year from rivers, creeks and seaside areas. The plastic endangers fish and other sea living things.Three of the machines have already been moved to Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam. Slat said a fourth is going to the Dominican Republic.Slat said he believes 1, 000 rivers are responsible for about 80% of the plastic going into the world's oceans. He said he wants to try to clean them all in the next five years.He added, "This is not going to be easy, but imagine if we do get this done. We could truly make our oceans clean again. "Meanwhile Slat asked for support from countries which are interested in cleaning up their rivers. He also wants support from businesses that prepare to help him with money and the operation of the devices.The Interceptor is designed to be safe in rivers. Its nose is shaped to turn away larger floating objects like tree trunks in different direction. The Interceptor works by guiding plastic waste intoan opening in the front of the devices. The waste is then carried inside the machine where it is dropped into containers. The interceptor sends a text message to local operators that can come and empty it when it is full.Slat showed how it worked by putting hundreds of yellow rubber ducks into the water at the launch event in the Dutch city of Rotterdam. The interceptor caught nearly all of them.Jan van Franeker is with the Wageningen Marine Research Institute. He told the The Associated Press(AP), "I am really happy they finally moved toward the source of the liter. The design, from what I can see, looks pretty good. ""Deploying interceptors is even cheaper than deploying nothing at all, ""Slat noted. 34. How old was Slat when he founded "The Ocean Cleanup"?35. When did Slat announce his next step in his fight?36. Where is 8 million metric tons of waste in the ocean from?37. What does Slat want to do in the next five years?38.

She has spent a lot of her life both in and under the waves. Earle has led more than a hundred explorations and she set a record for diving in 1,000-meter-deep water on her own. In total, she has spent more than 7,000 hours underwater.Earle describes the first time she went to the ocean: “I was three years old and I got knocked over by a wave (波浪). The ocean certainly got my attention! It was exciting. And since then, I have been attracted by life in the ocean.”Now, Earle’s job is to focus on developing a worldwide network of areas on the land and in the ocean. This network will protect and support the living systems that are important to the planet. She explains why this is important: “When I first went to the Gulf of Mexico in the 1950s, the sea looked huge and blue. It seemed to be too large and too wild to be destroyed by the action of people. Then, in only several tens of years, the blue wilderness of my childhood disappeared. By the end of the 20th century, about 90 percent of the sharks, whales, and many other large creatures had disappeared from the Gulf. They had been there for millions of years.”Some people don’t understand why the ocean is so important to life on Earth. Earle explainsthat “the ocean is the foundation of our life support system. The ocean is alive. The living things in the ocean produce O2 and take up CO2. If we don’t have the ocean, we don’t have a planet that works.”The Gulf of Mexico has had many problems, especially after the Deepwater Horizon Oil disaster (灾难) of 2010, but Earle says, “In 2003 I found good signs in clear, deep water far from the mouth of the Mississippi River. It was full of life. Large areas of the Gulf are not destroyed. Protecting the most important places will be good for the future of the Gulf and for all of us.”34. Who is Sylvia Earle?35.

Tulare is in California’s Central Valley, and at that time, locals were facing terrible water shortages caused by climate change. The wells completely ran dry and they were trucking water in for even basic needs.Ramachandran was really shocked so she decided to do something for the locals. She tried to find ways to reuse water from showers and washing machines in order to help people better deal with water shortages.Around that time, Ramachandran’s grandmother was visiting from India, and had brought with her a handful of soap nuts. A soap nut, also known as a soap berry, is a small yellow or brown fruit covered with a hard, brown shell. Soap nuts are native to India, where they are used for bathing.One day, when she was using soap nuts as a shampoo, she suddenly realized that probably soap nuts can be used as laundry detergent(洗衣粉)as well, and then they can reuse the left over water because soap nuts are all natural.To see if the left over water could be used to water plants, she also developed a project. She sent emails to universities up and down in California to ask for help. Finally, she got the support of a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. She tested the water on grasses and vegetables and found that gray water from soap nuts could be reused safely for non-potable(非饮用的)uses.Ramachandran went on her project, which teaches people how to recycle gray water in their own homes. She does workshops at schools, libraries and business events, and she develops a gray water science lesson that has been used in more than 90 schools so far.“I’ve learned a lot about what it means to be a scientist,” Ramachandran, now a senior in high school, says, “You can use science to develop the solutions, but it’s equally important to put it in practice.”34. How old is Shreya Ramachandran?35. What caused terrible water shortages in Tulare County in2014?36. Why did Shreya Ramachandran want to find ways to reuse water?37. Which country are soap nuts native to?38.

The gifts, the singing, the candle-blowing... Basically, they’re all the best things thrown together into one day. But birthdays aren’t always a fun for everyone. For example, homeless children might not get anything at all for their special day. That’s why 17-year-old Daryn Dusansky decided to start The Balloon Project. It celebrates monthly birthdays for children living in homeless shelters (收容所) with the help of some volunteers. Dusansky’s dream: to bring smiles to all kids’ faces on their birthdays.As teenagers, they met many challenges at the beginning. One of the biggest was to make others believe that The Balloon Project was dependable and there would be a party each month. Each party is not easy as there are many things that have to be managed. Luckily, The Balloon Project volunteers want each party to be better than the last and can be counted on to make that happen.Getting The Balloon Project off the ground required many leadership qualities (品质) which Dusansky did not know she owned. Working hard, focusing on solutions, and connecting with people are all necessary qualities that have made The Balloon Project a success.Offering services to those in need and creating a positive influence are important in being an active member of a community. Community service teaches life lessons often not taught in school. At one party, a little boy and his father came up to thank her for holding the boy’s first organized birthday party. Dusansky then thanked them for teaching her something, too. The father, who lived in a shelter with his son, looked at her, puzzled, as if he was not worthy of teaching her anything. Dusansky explained to him that he had taught her to have the courage to ask for help when needed. She will never forget his hug.Find a cause that interests you. Dusansky loves birthday celebrations and wants disadvantaged children to have the opportunity to celebrate, too. Love is passed on easily—it encourages people to help and volunteer.34. How old was Dusansky when she decided to start The Balloon Project?35. Who does The Balloon Project help?36. What was one of the biggest challenges in running The Balloon Project?37. What did Dusansky learn from the father?38. What do you think of Dusansky?（2021·燕山·一模）From a seed (种子) that is smaller than a pea grows the tallest of trees. The coast redwood is the largest giant among North America's trees.Redwoods are most special for two reasons. The first is their size. Imagine standing next to a tree that is the height of a 30-story building. The second is their age. Redwoods commonly make it to 600 years or so. It has been found that some trees are more than 2000 years old.To find a coast redwood, you have to go to Oregon or California. A coastline about 450 miles long and up to 35 miles wide is home to the redwoods. Coast redwoods don't grow anywhere else in the world, because the coast of the Pacific Ocean provides a special environment for the redwoods. Cool, moist (湿润的) air comes off the ocean and keeps the trees moist all year round, which is important because almost all of the area's rain falls between October and May. During the dry summer months, the trees depend on moisture from the thick fog that often hangs over the coast.Redwoods have their own protection systems. Most of redwoods' branches and leaves are high up on the tree. This keeps them safe from forest fires. Also, the bark (树皮) of a redwood is as much as 12 inches thick. The thick covering protects the lower part of the tree from fire damage. Besides, redwoods are safe from insect damage (虫害) because the wood contains a bitter-tasting (苦味的) chemical called tannin.If you ever get a chance, visit a redwood forest, and imagine who might camp there a thousand years ago. Look upward and just imagine how high the trees might grow if we protect them.34. What is the largest giant among North America's trees?35. What are redwoods most special for?36. Where can you find a coast redwood?37. What keeps the trees moist all year round?。

But many people just can’t stop doing it: biting their nails.Up to 45 percent of teenagers in the UK bite their nails, the BBC reported. There are also many famous nail biters, including ex-British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and American singer Britney Spears.There’s nothing wrong with biting nails to keep them tidy. But it could get out of control.Some people bite a nail not because it’s too long, but because they are driving, reading, feeling stressed out, or just have nothing else to do.The same could happen to skin picking and hair pulling. A normal behavior cou ld become “pathological”(病态的), as experts say.In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association labeled (把……列为) nail biting as an_______________(OCD). People with this disorder may wash their hands too many times or have to line up their shoes in a certain way.These behaviors have a lot in common. OCD is doing something normal and healthy too much, NPR reported.But nail biting is different from other OCD behaviors in at least one way.“In OCD, the behavior is really unwanted,” Carol Mathews, a psychiatrist（精神病医生）at the University of California, San Francisco, told NPR. People with OCD don’t want to wash their hands over and over again. There is no fun in it. They just fear that if they don’t do something, something else that’s very bad will happen to them.But nail biters enjoy it.“It’s rewarding. When you get the right nail, it feels good,” said Mathews.Therefore some people argue that most nail biters are not having a problem as serious as a mental (心理的) disorder. But anyway, it’s still a bad habit. So wha t can we do to stop it?Since most people bite nails as a way of relieving (缓解) stress, finding another way to relieve that stress could be useful, suggested Rochelle Torgerson, a doctor at the Mayo Clinic in the US. Try playing with your pen instead.Besides, nail biters feel the urge (刺激，冲动) to bite if they find a small imperfect part of the nail, said Mathews. So always keep your nails in good shape.1．What does the phraseobsessive-compulsive disorderin Paragraph 6 mean?A．An activity that people enjoy doing it.B．A kind of behavior that people is really wanted.C．A way of doing something that people does it normal and healthy.D．A mental disorder that people are unable to control the thoughts or the activities.2．How is nail biting different from other OCD behaviors?A．People do it over and over again.B．People do it happily and willingly.C．It does no harm to people’s health.D．It is a physical and mental problem.3．What do doctors suggest people do to stop nail biting?A．Pick skin or pull hair instead.B．Force them to control the urge to bite.C．Keep them busy and forget about nails.D．Find some other ways to release their stress.B14、GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT：A kid's guide to food and nutrition （营养）By William B NoyesAdd to Cart （购物车）Add to Shopping List Top Customer Reviews1．The above reading most probably comes from a.A．book B．website C．magazine D．newspaper2．Which food group do the underlined words "cereal and bagels" belong to?

He was often lonely and scared. When he was fifteen, however, he decided to do something about his problems. He walked into a newspaper office and told them about the bullying. His story went into the newspaper and soon all the TV stations in Canada wanted to talk to him about his experiences. They also wanted to hear his ideas to stop bullying.After that, Rob continued his studies at school, but in his free time he helped other people with bullying problems. With a friend Katie Neu, he made a website called www. bullyingcanada. ca. Visitors to the website can find advice, stories and poems about bullying, in both English and French. When people are upset, they can talk on the phone or online to Rob and his team. Every weekend Rob has to answer e — mails to the website. He also speaks to children, teachersand members of government around the country about bullying.Rob's most important message is, " When bullies are unkind to you, it isn' t your fault. There' s nothing wrong with you, so you should try to keep trusting yourself. And remember that people care about your problems. You just have to find those people. "One of Rob's ideas is " Blue Day" , a special day for stopping bullying in schools. Students have to wear blue clothes and in class they learn how to stop bullying. More than 150 Canadian schools now celebrate Blue Day, but Rob won't stop until there's a Blue Day in every school in Canada.1．How did Rob often feel at school before he was fifteen?A．Relaxed.

（共10 分，每小题 2 分）Students at Bullock Creek High School inMidland, Michigan found an unusual way to raisemoney for their robotics team.Every year, 28 students on the Blitz Creek teamtake part in a national robotics competition, wherestudents are challenged to create a robot that canperform certain tasks.They design robots, build them, and write the programs that run them.But building robots isn’t cheap. Maxt on Herst joined the team in the ninth grade, and later he became the captain of the robotics team. By accident, Maxton Herst saw a video about a toilet paper pyramid. Maxton realized that it was possible to build a record-setting pyramid, and then sell the toilet paper to get money for their program. All the team members agreed to try his idea.Blitz Creek has been planning the pyramid since last May. One challenge was calculating(计算) how many rolls of paper were needed. The answer turned out to be 27,434.In late December, team members gave up part of their winter holiday to build the pyramid. The pyramid was so big that they had to build it from the inside before backing out and filling in the areas where they had been standing. It took about 16 hours, with many people working, to complete the pyramid. The final height of the pyramid was 4.95 meters tall, which is about 61 centimeters taller than the current (当前的) Guinness World Record.The pyramid opened for viewing on January 4, 2020. Sadly, because the pyramid was in the school’s front hall, it could only stay for three days. With all the excitement caused by the pyramid, it turned out to be fairly easy to sell the toilet paper. Many supporters did help. Familiesand teachers bought half of the paper. A large company bought the rest. The team made about $10,000 from the event, which will help pay for its activities.Maxton talks about the success of his crazy idea. “If you’ve got an idea, andyou know that this idea is good, push it,” he says. “Don’t stop.”34. What did the students at Bullock Creek High School raise money for?35. What did the students do to get money?36. How much money did the students make?37. Who were the supporters?38. What made Maxton’s idea successful?答案：34. They raised money for their robotics team.35. They built a record-setting pyramid, and then sold the toilet paper to raise money.36.
