Rescue officials in Poland are working quickly to clear one of the country's highways. The roadway is covered with a sticky brown material. It is blocking cars from both directions.
What is causing the mess Milk chocolate. The problems began early Wednesday, after a huge truck carrying many tons of liquid chocolate overturned. Chocolate spilled out. It spread across six driveways of Poland's A2 highway.
The liquid chocolate solidified（凝固）as it cooled, causing even more difficulties. The accident happened near the western Polish town of Slupca. Bogdan Kowalski is with the fire fighters of Slupca. He told the Associated Press that “the cooling chocolate is worse than snow”.
Videos published on social media showed rescuers and cleaners were trying to move the sticky brown mess with a bulldozer（推土机）.
The private Polish broadcaster TVN24 reported that the driver of the truck was taken to a hospital with a broken arm. The accident happened in the morning when there was little traffic. Nobody else was harmed.
The sticky situation became a hot topic on social media. Some people offered to help the clean-up workers by eating the chocolate themselves.
Marlene Kukawa is a media officer for Slupea police. She told the New York Times that rescue workers needed to remove the truck from the highway first. “The cleanup”, she said at the time, “will take a few hours or more.” She added that accidents are rare in this part of the A2 highway. And, she told the New York Times, she is sure the area has never experienced something quite like a huge chocolate spill.
1. What caused the traffic trouble
A. A broken-down car.
B. Cars stuck on the highway.
C. Serious traffic accidents.
D. The liquid chocolate.
2. What made the situation even worse
A. The difficulty to get rid of the chocolate.
B. Fear caused by videos on social media.
C. The chocolate becoming hard.
D. Snow falling on the highway.
3. Why did some people offer to eat the chocolate
A. To avoid wasting the chocolate.
B.To reduce loss for the driver.
C. To play a joke.
D. To solve the problem.
4. What did Marlene Kukawa think of the incident
A. It happened very rarely.
B. It was the most serious accident.
C. It was unexpected by other drivers.
D. It was lucky that no one was killed.

Junk can be an annoying thing. But dealing with the junk in your room is quite easy — just remove it. 11_______ NASA is considering using lasers(激光) to move space junk around the Earth.
Scientists suggest that the energy contained in the laser could change the junk’s course by 650 feet (about 198m) a day. While that won’t be enough to knock it out of orbit, it could avoid a collision with a space station or satellite. Where does space junk come from and why should scientists want to move it
12_________ One is exploded rockets. The largest amount of junk was caused by a rocket sent up into space in 1994. Its explosion in 1996 created a cloud of some 300,000 fragments(碎片), each at least 4 mm in size. Another source is astronaut error. Suppose an astronaut is doing a repair in space, he or she drops the wrench(扳手) and it’s gone forever. 13________
Space junk is a huge threat to the lives of astronauts in space shuttles and on the International Space Station. A tiny speck(微粒) of paint from a satellite once dug a hole in a space shuttle window nearly half a centimeter wide.
Scientists are fully aware of this problem. They monitor the paths of space fragments and immediately report any threat of an orbital impact. Some 20,000 pieces of rubbish are currently being monitored in low-Earth orbit.
14___________
Is there any danger of us on Earth getting hit by space junk Probably not. Scientists say most space objects that re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere burn up or re-enter over water. So relax! 15_________
How about the junk in space
There are two main sources of space junk.
The problem of space junk is very challenging.
So far no effective ways have been found to avoid space junk.
The chance of getting hit by a falling astronaut’s glove is small.
There are millions of smaller pieces of space junk that we can’t see.
It spins into orbit, probably at a speed of around 6 miles(1.6km) a second.

In 2006, Chris visited Honduras, a country where more than half the population lives poorly. He returned home with a plan to go back and help. He and his brother, Will, came up with an idea. They would start a business in Honduras to create opportunities for people living there.
But what kind of business would they start They began by looking for a resource the country had naturally. The brothers chose to use wood from Honduras’ thick forests. Next they had to decide what they would build with that wood. Eventually, they found their way into the toy industry.
The brothers decided to make children’s blocks, drawing inspiration from the traditional wooden toys they discovered on a trip to Germany. Will and Chris decided to call their company “Tegu”, short for Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras. Then they staffed their factory with Honduran citizens. “We found that our workers in the factory are super proud that the name of their capital city is going out on their product and representing what they’re able to do,” said Will.
In addition to giving Honduran citizens the opportunity to work and learn about running a business, Tegu is partnered with a school that helps educate the children of families that work at the Tegucigalpa trash dump.
But Will and Chris did not feel it was enough to simply help the people of Honduras — they wanted to make sure they took good care of the land, too. They felt it was important to make toys using a natural resource in a way that is sustainable.
In order to do their part for the environment, Tegu works with woodcutting cooperatives and plantation-growers to select trees responsibly. The company also plants one, two, or three trees in place of every toy set that is produced. They’ve already planted more than half a million trees since Tegu was founded.
24. What can we infer about Honduras according to the text
A. It’s short of natural resources. B. It is an underdeveloped country.
C. It is famous for tourism. D. It has lots of foreign businesses.
25. What did Chris and Will decide to do to help Honduran people
A. Donate money to them. B. Set up a school.
C. Sell wood for them. D. Establish a toy company.

A. Volunteers. B. Foreigners. C. Local people. D. Poor students.
27. What do we know about Tegu from the last two paragraphs
A. It’s faced with a serious shortage of wood.
B. It pays special attention to sustainable development.
C. It’s making efforts to open its new market in the world.
D. It focuses on protecting the environment rather than making money.
C
If you’re looking to spend an afternoon with coffee and cute dogs, there’s a new cafe in Silver Lake designed to help you do just that. It’s called the Dog Cafe, and its owner is describing it as the first such cafe in the U.S.
The idea is to create a new way for people to adopt shelter dogs. Customers are able to buy a coffee or tea drink, then sit in an adjacent(相邻的) dog area, where they can play with dogs from a nearby shelter. All of the dogs in the area are up for adoption.
Sarah Wolfgang, the cafe’s founder and owner, said she was inspired by the animal cafes found in South Korea, but notes that the dogs in those cafes came from puppy mills(幼犬繁殖厂).
Her Dog Cafe focuses on “saving dogs who have been at the shelter the longest because of health or behavioral problems and are at the highest risk of being euthanized( 使安乐死),” according to the cafe’s website.
The coffee shop of the cafe has drinks made with products from Grounds & Hounds Coffee Co. and Dogs Drink Coffee (both give some of the money they make to animals in need): pour-over coffee, teas, lattes and flavored lemonades. Because of the nearness to dogs, there isn’t any food served at the cafe. There is an area selling dog goods.
Admission to the dog area is $10 per person for a 55-minute block of time. You can make a booking and find a full list of dogs for adoption on the cafe’s website. The Dog Cafe area and coffee shop is open Tuesday to Sunday from 11 am to 7 pm.
28. What’s Sarah Wolfgang’s purpose of opening the Dog Cafe
A. To encourage adoption of dogs. B. To help people get on with dogs.
C. To produce coffee for dogs. D. To buy and sell dogs.
29. Sarah Wolfgang’s idea of the Dog Cafe came from ________.
A. her strong love for wild animals B. a visit to a nearby dog shelter
C. the animal cafes in South Korea D. her plan to run the first animal cafe
30. What do we know about the dogs Sarah wants to save
A. They will be killed for meat. B. They are dangerous to customers.
C. They are badly treated at the shelter. D. They have health or behavioral problems.
31. What can you do in the Dog Cafe
A. Order some food. B. Enjoy free coffee. C. Buy dog goods. D. Enter the dog area free.

Want to keep track of your bicycle or car The TrackR, a device created by a California-based company, is for you! Priced at $ 29.95 each, it is much cheaper than the GPS systems.
Install (安装) the free TrackR app on your smartphone. Connect the app to your device and then you are ready to go! Simply couple the TrackR to whatever you don’t want to lose. The entire process of setting it up only takes 5 minutes or less.
If you have the hard TrackR, you can just hide it somewhere in your car. It won’t be found if your car gets stolen. If you forget where you parked your car, take out your smartphone and open the TrackR app. Click on the “lost item” icon on the screen and the app will tell you exactly where it is.
You can also attach it to your pets. Put it on their collars(项圈), and the problem of searching for them as they run off to nearby places will be over! Attach it to your keys and wallet, and never waste a minute searching the whole house for it. The affordable TrackR even comes with a double-sided adhesive(粘合剂) so you can stick it to your laptop or under your bike seat. Track down and punish the thieves who steal your expensive things!
The convenience and the ability to find actually any object means that the TrackR is one of the most useful articles that you’ll find for any price. However, the best thing it can give is peace of mind, and it doesn’t get any better than that.
1. What does the underlined word “couple” in Paragraph 2 probably mean

When school closes, poor pupils lose the last social institution-one that educates, feeds, and sometimes clothes them-whereas richer pupils are gaining relatively more advantages. Disruptions （中断） to schooling tend to lower achievement while increasing inequality.
A new industry of "Learning Pod", where a group of families pool cash to pay for an in-person tutor, is deepening that inequality. Scoot Education, whose normal business is providing substitute teachers for schools, quickly developed a sideline in learning pods in California. For younger pupils, the total cost of a pod, shared among all parents, is $349 a day, which is beyond what a poor family can afford.＂Rich families can always find a way to educate their children, even if COVID-19 pandemic had not started," says Sarah Cohodes, a professor at Teachers College at Columbia University.
Thus, if there would be no extraordinary interventions in the closing of schools, the long-run effects on those poor students are predictable. A team of five education scholars recently calculated that American schoolchildren in 2020
learned 30% less reading and 50% less maths than they would in a typical year. Despite that, the top third of pupils posted gains in reading. Data from Opportunity Insights, an economic-research team at Harvard University, shows that after lockdowns began in March pupils from low-income neighbourhoods fell permanently behind on online maths coursework, while those from richer areas quickly rebounded.
Then there is the problem of access to online classes.

Four Steps to Begin Your Path to Greatness
Feeling stuck is quite common. Many times, we have thoughts and dreams of what we want in life. 9._______ Our thinking pattern holds us back from going forward. The good news is, at any moment in time, we have the ability to start taking action toward creating the life we want. Here are four steps to get started.
Celebrate Your Success.
Write down all the successes you've already achieved and all the awesomeness that you are today. 10.________ And once you're in that positive routine with your thoughts, it will lead you to make better choices and take better actions toward your greatness.
Create Your True Vision.
Many times we live based on others' expectations or we stay stuck in a particular place because it's our safety zone. Own your path. It can be hard to do, but allow yourself to get out of your head(or stop listening to what others want for you) and focus on your heart and what it's telling you. 11.________
12.________
If you want to start going to the gym, going 5 days a week right away is extreme, and setting yourself up by biting more than you can chew typically doesn't result in success, but failure. Instead, start slow and go once or twice a week. After you do that for a while and get into a nice routine, up it to more days. Over time, you will build toward your goal by taking realistic, smaller steps to get there.
Have the Right Support.
13.________Find the right support to cheer you on in the process. It could be a friend, a family member, or significant other who you trust. Whoever it may be, having someone on your journey will be just what you need to keep you on track and celebrate with you as you work toward the life you dream of.
A. Don't do it alone.
B. Be realistic about your goals.
C. Be kind to yourself and accept the moment.
D. Your failure can lead you to another success.
E. This practice will direct your thinking to a positive place.
F. Sadly, they only stay as thoughts and dreams inside of us.
G. Look within yourself deeply and decide what you want and what's true for you.

【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 4. B
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款跟踪装置TrackR，有了它人们就不用担心丢东西了。
【1题详解】词句猜测题。分析文章结构可知，三四段举例说明了该应用的使用方法和好处，其中提到了宠物，由此可知宠物也属于不想丢失的东西的范畴。根据第四段的“You can also attach it to your pets.（你也可以把它附在你的宠物身上。）”推知划线词所在句子意为：只要把TrackR和你不想失去的东西连接起来。即划线词意为“附着，连接”，与attach同义。故选A。
【2题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段的“If you forget where you parked your car, take out your smartphone and open the TrackR app. Click on the “lost item” icon on the screen and the app will tell you exactly where it is.（如果你忘了把车停在哪里，拿出智能手机，打开TrackR应用程序。点击屏幕上的“丢失物品”图标，应用程序会告诉你它到底在哪里。）”可知，该应用程序可以帮助使用者找到放错位置的车。故选C。
【3题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段的“Put it on their collars(项圈), and the problem of searching for them as they run off to nearby places will be over! Attach it to your keys and wallet, and never waste a minute searching the whole house for it.（把它戴在他们的项圈上, 当它们跑向附近的地方时，搜寻它们的问题就结束了！把它放在你的钥匙和钱包上，不要浪费一分钟在整个房子里找它。）”可知，TrackR可以戴在宠物的项圈上，也可以连接在钥匙和钱包上。由此推知，TrackR的尺寸很小。故选D。
【4题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，结合最后一段的“The convenience and the ability to find actually any object means that the TrackR is one of the most useful articles that you’ll find for any price.（TrackR的便利性和查找任何对象的能力意味着TrackR是最有用的产品之一，您可以以任何价格买到它。）”可知，文章主要介绍了一款跟踪装置TrackR，它价格便宜且查找东西的能力惊人，有了它人们就不用担心丢失东西了。“TrackR——无需担心”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选B。

This story happened when I was in Saint Lucia with my family. My sister, Diana, who also happens to be my best friend and one of the funniest and kindest people I know, went blind in one
eye about 9 years ago. Diana sometimes feels concerned about the way her eye looks now. The pupil (瞳孔) is no longer black; it's sort of“glows”in photos. Diana recently purchased a special
contact lens (隐形镜片) that makes her eye look like it did before it changed color, but she doesn't wear this lens often because it becomes quite painful after about an hour.
One night during our holiday, a hotel photographer was taking pictures of the guests as they entered the area set up for dinner. Diana casually said if she had known there was going to be pictures taken to capture this special memory, she would have worn her contact lens so her eye wouldn't be so shiny in the picture.
The next day, I was sitting with Diana and her husband Ted. While we were talking, the photographer who had been at the dinner the night before, handed her a photo, leaned in
and quietly said,“I matched the color of your eyes in the picture.”
As he walked away, my sister happily said to me and Ted,“Look! He fixed my eye!”The photographer stopped. He turned around and walked back to our table. He put his hand on Diana's
shoulder, leaned in again and gently said,“Just to be clear: I didn't fix your eye. There isn't
anything wrong with your eye. I simply matched the color.”
Her eyes filled up with tears. It was very healing for her heart to hear these beautiful words. It
didn't take much time and made so much difference. It helped her change the way she feels about herself.
I have always loved the quote:“The world is full of good people. If you can't find one, be one!”Your acts of kindness can impact the world in profound ways!
4. My sister bought a contact lens in order to _______.
A. avoid the pupil being too bright and shiny

Little boys don’t like reading any more and even little girls don’t enjoy it as much as they once did: this is the accepted wisdom inside the book industry—and in many British families, too. Parents and booksellers tend to blame the growing appeal of online entertainment and handheld games, but research from the US is challenging these assumptions.
Michael Norris, an American publishing expert, will release findings in the monthly Book Publishing Report which show that, despite the best intentions, it is well-meaning mothers and fathers who often stop their sons and daughters from picking up the reading habit.
“Parents have too much of a role in deciding which books their child is going to read,” said Norris. “It is turning children off.”
The results of a number of surveys Norris has carried out with hundreds of American booksellers over the past year have provided the basis for a series of tips for parents designed to help children find enjoyment in books.
One of his tips is to make sure children talk directly to a librarian or a bookseller, while parents stand well back. Parents should allow children to choose their own reading material. “Even if a mother or father is just standing with the child when the bookseller asks them what they like to read, we have found that the child will give an answer they think their parent wants to hear. It will not be the same answer they would give alone,” said Norris.
Norris said, “What we have found is that parents should not worry whether a title looks too young or too old for a child. If it is children’s favourite book, then let them take it.”
Children, added Norris, often enjoy reading books that are easy for them to understand. “My father made me read The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy when I was much too young, which, I think, was totally wrong, and I have never read another Clancy since,” said Norris.
8. What did Norris think prevents children from enjoying reading
A. Children’s interest in handheld games.
B. The declining market of the book industry.
C. Parents’ influence on children’s book selection.4
D. The growing popularity of online entertainment.
9. What do we know about the new study
A. It is meaningless. B. It mainly focuses on British families.
C. It is published to improve book sales. D. It is mainly carried out by Norris.
10. What should parents do to help kids get their favourite books at bookstores
A. Introduce new books regularly. B. Discuss popular books with their children.
C. Let children choose books for themselves. D. Often seek expert advice from booksellers.
11. What did Norris think of his father’s act
A. It showed parents’ worries about kids. B. It made him love reading.
C. It was quite necessary. D. It was totally wrong.

Rescue officials in Poland are working quickly to clear one of the country's highways. The roadway is covered with a sticky brown material. It is blocking cars from both directions.
What is causing the mess Milk chocolate. The problems began early Wednesday, after a huge truck carrying many tons of liquid chocolate overturned. Chocolate spilled out. It spread across six driveways of Poland's A2 highway.
The liquid chocolate solidified（凝固）as it cooled, causing even more difficulties. The accident happened near the western Polish town of Slupca. Bogdan Kowalski is with the fire fighters of Slupca. He told the Associated Press that “the cooling chocolate is worse than snow”.
Videos published on social media showed rescuers and cleaners were trying to move the sticky brown mess with a bulldozer（推土机）.
The private Polish broadcaster TVN24 reported that the driver of the truck was taken to a hospital with a broken arm. The accident happened in the morning when there was little traffic. Nobody else was harmed.
The sticky situation became a hot topic on social media. Some people offered to help the clean-up workers by eating the chocolate themselves.
Marlene Kukawa is a media officer for Slupea police. She told the New York Times that rescue workers needed to remove the truck from the highway first. “The cleanup”, she said at the time, “will take a few hours or more.” She added that accidents are rare in this part of the A2 highway. And, she told the New York Times, she is sure the area has never experienced something quite like a huge chocolate spill.
1. What caused the traffic trouble
A. A broken-down car.
B. Cars stuck on the highway.
C. Serious traffic accidents.
D. The liquid chocolate.
2. What made the situation even worse
A. The difficulty to get rid of the chocolate.
B. Fear caused by videos on social media.
C. The chocolate becoming hard.
D. Snow falling on the highway.
3. Why did some people offer to eat the chocolate
A. To avoid wasting the chocolate.
B.To reduce loss for the driver.
C. To play a joke.
D. To solve the problem.
4. What did Marlene Kukawa think of the incident
A. It happened very rarely.
B. It was the most serious accident.
C. It was unexpected by other drivers.
D. It was lucky that no one was killed.

Junk can be an annoying thing. But dealing with the junk in your room is quite easy — just remove it. 11_______ NASA is considering using lasers(激光) to move space junk around the Earth.
Scientists suggest that the energy contained in the laser could change the junk’s course by 650 feet (about 198m) a day. While that won’t be enough to knock it out of orbit, it could avoid a collision with a space station or satellite. Where does space junk come from and why should scientists want to move it
12_________ One is exploded rockets. The largest amount of junk was caused by a rocket sent up into space in 1994. Its explosion in 1996 created a cloud of some 300,000 fragments(碎片), each at least 4 mm in size. Another source is astronaut error. Suppose an astronaut is doing a repair in space, he or she drops the wrench(扳手) and it’s gone forever. 13________
Space junk is a huge threat to the lives of astronauts in space shuttles and on the International Space Station. A tiny speck(微粒) of paint from a satellite once dug a hole in a space shuttle window nearly half a centimeter wide.
Scientists are fully aware of this problem. They monitor the paths of space fragments and immediately report any threat of an orbital impact. Some 20,000 pieces of rubbish are currently being monitored in low-Earth orbit.
14___________
Is there any danger of us on Earth getting hit by space junk Probably not. Scientists say most space objects that re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere burn up or re-enter over water. So relax! 15_________
How about the junk in space
There are two main sources of space junk.
The problem of space junk is very challenging.
So far no effective ways have been found to avoid space junk.
The chance of getting hit by a falling astronaut’s glove is small.
There are millions of smaller pieces of space junk that we can’t see.
It spins into orbit, probably at a speed of around 6 miles(1.6km) a second.

In 2006, Chris visited Honduras, a country where more than half the population lives poorly. He returned home with a plan to go back and help. He and his brother, Will, came up with an idea. They would start a business in Honduras to create opportunities for people living there.
But what kind of business would they start They began by looking for a resource the country had naturally. The brothers chose to use wood from Honduras’ thick forests. Next they had to decide what they would build with that wood. Eventually, they found their way into the toy industry.
The brothers decided to make children’s blocks, drawing inspiration from the traditional wooden toys they discovered on a trip to Germany. Will and Chris decided to call their company “Tegu”, short for Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras. Then they staffed their factory with Honduran citizens. “We found that our workers in the factory are super proud that the name of their capital city is going out on their product and representing what they’re able to do,” said Will.
In addition to giving Honduran citizens the opportunity to work and learn about running a business, Tegu is partnered with a school that helps educate the children of families that work at the Tegucigalpa trash dump.
But Will and Chris did not feel it was enough to simply help the people of Honduras — they wanted to make sure they took good care of the land, too. They felt it was important to make toys using a natural resource in a way that is sustainable.
In order to do their part for the environment, Tegu works with woodcutting cooperatives and plantation-growers to select trees responsibly. The company also plants one, two, or three trees in place of every toy set that is produced. They’ve already planted more than half a million trees since Tegu was founded.

If you’re looking to spend an afternoon with coffee and cute dogs, there’s a new cafe in Silver Lake designed to help you do just that. It’s called the Dog Cafe, and its owner is describing it as the first such cafe in the U.S.
The idea is to create a new way for people to adopt shelter dogs. Customers are able to buy a coffee or tea drink, then sit in an adjacent(相邻的) dog area, where they can play with dogs from a nearby shelter. All of the dogs in the area are up for adoption.
Sarah Wolfgang, the cafe’s founder and owner, said she was inspired by the animal cafes found in South Korea, but notes that the dogs in those cafes came from puppy mills(幼犬繁殖厂).
Her Dog Cafe focuses on “saving dogs who have been at the shelter the longest because of health or behavioral problems and are at the highest risk of being euthanized( 使安乐死),” according to the cafe’s website.
The coffee shop of the cafe has drinks made with products from Grounds & Hounds Coffee Co. and Dogs Drink Coffee (both give some of the money they make to animals in need): pour-over coffee, teas, lattes and flavored lemonades. Because of the nearness to dogs, there isn’t any food served at the cafe. There is an area selling dog goods.
Admission to the dog area is $10 per person for a 55-minute block of time. You can make a booking and find a full list of dogs for adoption on the cafe’s website. The Dog Cafe area and coffee shop is open Tuesday to Sunday from 11 am to 7 pm.
28. What’s Sarah Wolfgang’s purpose of opening the Dog Cafe
A. To encourage adoption of dogs. B. To help people get on with dogs.
C. To produce coffee for dogs. D. To buy and sell dogs.
29. Sarah Wolfgang’s idea of the Dog Cafe came from ________.
A. her strong love for wild animals B. a visit to a nearby dog shelter
C. the animal cafes in South Korea D. her plan to run the first animal cafe
30. What do we know about the dogs Sarah wants to save
A. They will be killed for meat. B. They are dangerous to customers.
C. They are badly treated at the shelter. D. They have health or behavioral problems.
31. What can you do in the Dog Cafe
A. Order some food. B. Enjoy free coffee. C. Buy dog goods. D. Enter the dog area free.

Want to keep track of your bicycle or car The TrackR, a device created by a California-based company, is for you! Priced at $ 29.95 each, it is much cheaper than the GPS systems.
Install (安装) the free TrackR app on your smartphone. Connect the app to your device and then you are ready to go! Simply couple the TrackR to whatever you don’t want to lose. The entire process of setting it up only takes 5 minutes or less.
If you have the hard TrackR, you can just hide it somewhere in your car. It won’t be found if your car gets stolen. If you forget where you parked your car, take out your smartphone and open the TrackR app. Click on the “lost item” icon on the screen and the app will tell you exactly where it is.
You can also attach it to your pets. Put it on their collars(项圈), and the problem of searching for them as they run off to nearby places will be over! Attach it to your keys and wallet, and never waste a minute searching the whole house for it. The affordable TrackR even comes with a double-sided adhesive(粘合剂) so you can stick it to your laptop or under your bike seat. Track down and punish the thieves who steal your expensive things!
The convenience and the ability to find actually any object means that the TrackR is one of the most useful articles that you’ll find for any price. However, the best thing it can give is peace of mind, and it doesn’t get any better than that.

When school closes, poor pupils lose the last social institution-one that educates, feeds, and sometimes clothes them-whereas richer pupils are gaining relatively more advantages. Disruptions （中断） to schooling tend to lower achievement while increasing inequality.
A new industry of "Learning Pod", where a group of families pool cash to pay for an in-person tutor, is deepening that inequality. Scoot Education, whose normal business is providing substitute teachers for schools, quickly developed a sideline in learning pods in California. For younger pupils, the total cost of a pod, shared among all parents, is $349 a day, which is beyond what a poor family can afford.＂Rich families can always find a way to educate their children, even if COVID-19 pandemic had not started," says Sarah Cohodes, a professor at Teachers College at Columbia University.
Thus, if there would be no extraordinary interventions in the closing of schools, the long-run effects on those poor students are predictable. A team of five education scholars recently calculated that American schoolchildren in 2020
learned 30% less reading and 50% less maths than they would in a typical year. Despite that, the top third of pupils posted gains in reading. Data from Opportunity Insights, an economic-research team at Harvard University, shows that after lockdowns began in March pupils from low-income neighbourhoods fell permanently behind on online maths coursework, while those from richer areas quickly rebounded.
Then there is the problem of access to online classes. Nearly half of native American pupils and 35% of black and Hispanic ones do not have access to either a computer or the internet at home, compared with 19% of whites.Worsening mental health among poorer families will also hurt achievement. Elizabeth Ananat of Barnard College and AnnaGassman-Pines of Duke University surveyed part-time workers in Philadelphia who had young children; half were showing their anxiety or depression for children's schooling.
5. What do we know about Learning Pod
A. It was started as the key business by Scoot Education.
B. Families can afford this teaching model with $349 a day.
C. It is a long-existing method to find an in-person tutor.
D. It worsens educational inequality to some extent.
6. What does the underlined word "rebounded" in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Learned maths in advance. B. Performed poorly in maths.
C. Regained improvement in maths. D. Showed permanent love to maths.5
7. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Effects of educational inequality. B. Psychological problems of the pupils.
C. Opportunities to use online resources. D. Low academic achievement of the poor.
8. This text is probably selected from ________.
A. a health magazine B. an educational report
C. a science textbook D. a learning guideline

Four Steps to Begin Your Path to Greatness
Feeling stuck is quite common. Many times, we have thoughts and dreams of what we want in life. 9._______ Our thinking pattern holds us back from going forward. The good news is, at any moment in time, we have the ability to start taking action toward creating the life we want. Here are four steps to get started.
Celebrate Your Success.
Write down all the successes you've already achieved and all the awesomeness that you are today. 10.________ And once you're in that positive routine with your thoughts, it will lead you to make better choices and take better actions toward your greatness.
Create Your True Vision.
Many times we live based on others' expectations or we stay stuck in a particular place because it's our safety zone. Own your path. It can be hard to do, but allow yourself to get out of your head(or stop listening to what others want for you) and focus on your heart and what it's telling you. 11.________
12.________
If you want to start going to the gym, going 5 days a week right away is extreme, and setting yourself up by biting more than you can chew typically doesn't result in success, but failure. Instead, start slow and go once or twice a week. After you do that for a while and get into a nice routine, up it to more days. Over time, you will build toward your goal by taking realistic, smaller steps to get there.
Have the Right Support.
13.________Find the right support to cheer you on in the process. It could be a friend, a family member, or significant other who you trust. Whoever it may be, having someone on your journey will be just what you need to keep you on track and celebrate with you as you work toward the life you dream of.
A. Don't do it alone.
B. Be realistic about your goals.
C. Be kind to yourself and accept the moment.
D. Your failure can lead you to another success.
E. This practice will direct your thinking to a positive place.
F. Sadly, they only stay as thoughts and dreams inside of us.
G. Look within yourself deeply and decide what you want and what's true for you.

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款跟踪装置TrackR，有了它人们就不用担心丢东西了。
【1题详解】词句猜测题。分析文章结构可知，三四段举例说明了该应用的使用方法和好处，其中提到了宠物，由此可知宠物也属于不想丢失的东西的范畴。根据第四段的“You can also attach it to your pets.（你也可以把它附在你的宠物身上。）”推知划线词所在句子意为：只要把TrackR和你不想失去的东西连接起来。即划线词意为“附着，连接”，与attach同义。故选A。

This story happened when I was in Saint Lucia with my family. My sister, Diana, who also happens to be my best friend and one of the funniest and kindest people I know, went blind in one
eye about 9 years ago. Diana sometimes feels concerned about the way her eye looks now. The pupil (瞳孔) is no longer black; it's sort of“glows”in photos. Diana recently purchased a special
contact lens (隐形镜片) that makes her eye look like it did before it changed color, but she doesn't wear this lens often because it becomes quite painful after about an hour.
One night during our holiday, a hotel photographer was taking pictures of the guests as they entered the area set up for dinner. Diana casually said if she had known there was going to be pictures taken to capture this special memory, she would have worn her contact lens so her eye wouldn't be so shiny in the picture.
The next day, I was sitting with Diana and her husband Ted. While we were talking, the photographer who had been at the dinner the night before, handed her a photo, leaned in
and quietly said,“I matched the color of your eyes in the picture.”
As he walked away, my sister happily said to me and Ted,“Look! He fixed my eye!”The photographer stopped. He turned around and walked back to our table. He put his hand on Diana's
shoulder, leaned in again and gently said,“Just to be clear: I didn't fix your eye. There isn't
anything wrong with your eye. I simply matched the color.”
Her eyes filled up with tears. It was very healing for her heart to hear these beautiful words. It
didn't take much time and made so much difference. It helped her change the way she feels about herself.
I have always loved the quote:“The world is full of good people. If you can't find one, be one!”Your acts of kindness can impact the world in profound ways!
4. My sister bought a contact lens in order to _______.
A. avoid the pupil being too bright and shiny
B. show off the beautiful color of her pupil
C. protect her eye from the strong sunlight
D. keep the pupil comfortable
5. Diana felt _______ when she knew there was a photo taken for the dinner.
A. excited B. proud C. regretful D. shocked
6. Tears welled up in Diana's eyes because _______.
A. she felt her eyes were so painful
B. she was touched by the photographer

Little boys don’t like reading any more and even little girls don’t enjoy it as much as they once did: this is the accepted wisdom inside the book industry—and in many British families, too. Parents and booksellers tend to blame the growing appeal of online entertainment and handheld games, but research from the US is challenging these assumptions.
Michael Norris, an American publishing expert, will release findings in the monthly Book Publishing Report which show that, despite the best intentions, it is well-meaning mothers and fathers who often stop their sons and daughters from picking up the reading habit.
“Parents have too much of a role in deciding which books their child is going to read,” said Norris. “It is turning children off.”
The results of a number of surveys Norris has carried out with hundreds of American booksellers over the past year have provided the basis for a series of tips for parents designed to help children find enjoyment in books.
One of his tips is to make sure children talk directly to a librarian or a bookseller, while parents stand well back. Parents should allow children to choose their own reading material. “Even if a mother or father is just standing with the child when the bookseller asks them what they like to read, we have found that the child will give an answer they think their parent wants to hear. It will not be the same answer they would give alone,” said Norris.
Norris said, “What we have found is that parents should not worry whether a title looks too young or too old for a child. If it is children’s favourite book, then let them take it.”
Children, added Norris, often enjoy reading books that are easy for them to understand. “My father made me read The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy when I was much too young, which, I think, was totally wrong, and I have never read another Clancy since,” said Norris.
8. What did Norris think prevents children from enjoying reading
A. Children’s interest in handheld games.
B. The declining market of the book industry.
C. Parents’ influence on children’s book selection.4
D. The growing popularity of online entertainment.
9. What do we know about the new study
A. It is meaningless. B. It mainly focuses on British families.
C. It is published to improve book sales. D. It is mainly carried out by Norris.
10. What should parents do to help kids get their favourite books at bookstores
A. Introduce new books regularly. B. Discuss popular books with their children.
C. Let children choose books for themselves. D. Often seek expert advice from booksellers.
11. What did Norris think of his father’s act
A. It showed parents’ worries about kids. B. It made him love reading.
C. It was quite necessary. D. It was totally wrong.
