Ray is a physical education teacher at Central Algoma Secondary School. This year, most of their classes were remote due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
One day, Ray was talking to his daughter Sadie, who was set to graduate. The school was planning to have teachers hand-deliver diplomas (毕业文凭) to each student’s home, but Sadie asked her dad if she could receive hers on a nearby outdoor stage instead.
“I said, ‘Sure, I’ll do that. No problem. Is there anybody else who would like to receive their diploma on the stage ’ ” Ray said. “And she said, ‘Yeah, everybody would like to get their diploma on the stage.’ ”
Moved, the creative dad got to work to make it happen — not just for his daughter, but for all of the graduating seniors! He spent about six hours one weekend building a portable (便携的) stage that he could pull behind his truck. He then got permission from the school, and they eagerly agreed to help make his mobile graduation mission a success.
“It’s such an important event for so many people. … It was almost like the first win that we’ve had in a year and a half after being beaten down,” Ray said. “We finally get to do this one thing that we’ll remember for the rest of our lives.”
Over the course of two days in late June, Ray traveled over 250 miles to give 72 graduates their big moment!
Jo l Lamoureux was one student who received his diploma on the portable stage. His mom, Krissie Lamoureux, said the experience felt relaxed and easy while still providing an important photo opportunity for this milestone in their lives.
“It was extremely personal,” she added. “It’s really hard as a parent to watch your child graduate from a distance and not be able to really be a part of anything.”
All of the students were grateful to Ray and the school for creating a safe way to celebrate their accomplishments.
4. What inspired Ray to create the stage
A. The COVID-19 pandemic. B. His daughter’s appeal.
C. The school’s permission. D. The graduates’ request.
5. What can we infer from Ray’s words in Paragraph 5
A. He has won the competition. B. He has experienced many failures.
C. His work is highly thought of. D. His work is of great significance.
6. What’s Krissie Lamoureux’s feeling about Ray’s stage
A. Satisfied. B. Envious. C. Appreciative. D. Comfortable.
7. What’s the best title of this text
A. A Teacher Builds a Portable Stage B. A Different Celebration Is on Show
C. A Personal Work Gains Popularity D. A Teacher Helps Deliver Diplomas
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一名老师建造了一个可移动的舞台，用来给在疫情期间不能参加毕业典礼的毕业生们拍照留念。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段“Sadie asked her dad if she could receive hers on a nearby outdoor stage instead.（赛迪问她的父亲，她是否可以在附近的户外舞台接受她的表演。）”以及第三段内容可知，当Ray的女儿问他能否在舞台上接收毕业证书时，Ray满口答应了。所以是女儿的愿望促使Ray建造了这座移动舞台。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段Ray所说的话““It’s such an important event for so many people. … It was almost like the first win that we’ve had in a year and a half after being beaten down,” Ray said. “We finally get to do this one thing that we’ll remember for the rest of our lives.”(“对很多人来说，这是一件非常重要的事情。这几乎是我们被击败一年半以来的第一场胜利，”雷说。“我们终于可以做一件让我们终生难忘的事了。”)”可知，毕业典礼对许多人都有特殊意义，建立了这个舞台就像是在这一年半以来与疫情对抗中所取得的一次小小的胜利，能在舞台上拍照留念会留在每个人的记忆中，所以，他所建立的移动舞台是非常有意义的。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段话“It was extremely personal,” she added. “It’s really hard as a parent to watch your child graduate from a distance and not be able to really be a part of anything.（“这是非常私人的，”她补充道。“作为父母，看着自己的孩子从远方毕业，却不能真正参与任何事情，这真的很难。）”以及倒数第三段“His mom, Krissie Lamoureux said the experience felt relaxed and easy while still providing an important photo opportunity for this milestone in their lives.（他的妈妈克莉丝·拉莫瑞说，这次经历让他们感到放松和轻松，同时也为他们生命中的这一里程碑提供了一个重要的拍照机会。）”可知，对于父母来说，也希望能够参加孩子的毕业典礼，所以Ray的移动舞台让父母也参与进来，并且给他们生命中这次重要的里程碑提供了拍照留念的机会，因此对于这个移动舞台，Krissie Lamoureux是感激的，欣赏的。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。从全文内容来看，本文主要讲述一名老师制作了可移动的舞台为毕业生们人生这个重大时刻带来拍照留念的机会。所以“A Teacher Builds a Portable Stage(一个老师搭建了一个可移动的舞台)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。
C
An article caught my attention this week.It claims that few parents these days tend to hire neighborhood teens to watch their kids. In fact, the article states that the average age of babysitters(代人临时照看小孩的人)in the UK has risen from 14 to 34 over the past several decades.
I worked as a teenage babysitter for years. At that time, I took up those jobs as they were economic to do so,but now I see them as valuable experiences. The article reminded me of just how significantly babysitting influenced my worldview and my approach to parenting. It made me think that more teens should be involved in babysitting because it really does prepare them for life in a way that few other things can.
Babysitting makes everyone's life easier.I gained many practical skills adapting to children. I discovered that the outdoor activities are the best way to wear out high-energy children and that reading books aloud is an excellent way to pass the time and that music makes an instant party Babysitting reveals how other households operate.This is a fascinating,invaluable lesson. I had great conversations with the parents of children I babysat. Some parents introduced me to their favorite music,described their own jobs and interests,and showed curiosity about my schoolwork and life goals.
In a society where families are increasingly isolated (孤立的) from each other, where children are no longer raised by a “ village ” or community of caring individuals, hiring a teenage babysitter is a simple way to bridge that gap and it also gives that teen a chance to gain some independence. The next time you're having a date night with your partner,don't hesitate to call on that teen down the street and offer him or her a job. It could be the best thing for all of you.
8. What is the common phenomenon of babysitting in the UK
A. The adults' having difficulty watching over their kids.
B. The increasing average age of babysitters.
C. The youth's lack of interest in babysitting.
D. The rising demand for babysitters.
9. Why did the author choose to be a babysitter in the past
A. To learn how to get along with others.
B. To gain social experiences.
C. To make money.
D. To encourage more teenagers to be babysitters.
10. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3
A. To show how other households operate.
B. To reveal the kindness of some parents.
C. To share her experiences of babysitting.
D. To state the benefits of babysitting.
11. What does the author suggest that parents do in the last paragraph
A. Create harmonious community culture.
B. Spend more time at home with their kids.
C. Offer opportunities of babysitting to teenagers.
D. Encourage their kids to be more independent.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者结合自己的切身经历论述了请青少年帮忙照顾孩子的好处。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“In fact, the article states that the average age of babysitters in the UK has risen from 14 to 34 over the past several decades.（事实上，这篇文章指出，在过去几十年里，英国保姆的平均年龄已经从14岁上升到了34岁）”可知，英国保姆的普遍现象是保姆的平均年龄越来越大。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“At that time, I took up those jobs as they were economic to do so,but now I see them as valuable experiences.（当时，我从事这些工作，因为它们是赚钱的，但现在我把它们视为宝贵的经验。）”可知，作者在过去选择当保姆来赚钱。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Babysitting makes everyone's life easier.I gained many practical skills adapting to children. I discovered that the outdoor activities are the best way to wear out high-energy children and that reading books aloud is an excellent way to pass the time and that music makes an instant party Babysitting reveals how other households operate.（照顾孩子让每个人的生活更轻松。我学到了很多适应孩子的实用技能。我发现，户外活动是让精力充沛的孩子筋疲力尽的最好方式，大声朗读书籍是打发时间的绝佳方式，而音乐则让人瞬间沉浸在派对中。）”可知，在第三段作者想说明照看孩子的好处。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The next time you're having a date night with your partner,don't hesitate to call on that teen down the street and offer him or her a job. It could be the best thing for all of you.（下次你和你的伴侣约会的时候，不要犹豫，打电话给街上的那个青少年，给他或她一份工作。这可能是对你们所有人最好的事。 ）”可知，作者在最后一段建议为青少年提供照看孩子的机会。故选C。

The Tokyo Summer Olympics is going green. The 5,000 medals Japan has made are more special than most.
One novel focus of the Tokyo Olympics is to be “sustainable”— to avoid using too many natural resources, so that the games are easy on the environment. As part of this goal, the organizers decided to make all of the Olympic medals out of metal recycled from old electronics.
Almost all electronics are made with small amounts of “precious metals”, like gold and silver. But collecting enough of these metals to make 5,000 medals was a huge challenge. That’s because the amount of metal in each device is tiny. It would take about 20,000 cell phones to get just 1 kilogram of gold.
Beginning in April 2017, the organizers placed collection boxes around the country, and asked people to turn in their old electronic devices. Soon people began to respond to the initiative, turning in smartphones, digital cameras, hand-held games, and laptops. At first, collection went slowly, but soon more and more areas began to take part. By the end, 1,621 local governments had helped out with the collection process.
Then came the job of breaking those devices down into smaller pieces. After being taken apart and sorted, the small electronics were smelted (熔炼) to get all the gold, silver, and bronze elements. This is a tricky job, which calls for careful attention and good skill. It’s also dangerous, because some of the metals and other things aren’t safe for people to touch or breathe.
By the end of March, 2019, the organizers had hit their targets of getting enough metal for the medals. They had collected around 32 kilograms of gold, 4,100 kilograms of silver and 2,200 kilograms of bronze. And now all the 5,000 medals are available for the would-be winners.
12. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us
A. The difficulty of making the medals.
B. The process of collecting old electronics.
C. The initiative to recycle used smartphones.
D. The classification of the collected devices.
13. What can we know about the Tokyo Olympics medals
A. They are hugely valuable. B. They are of high quality.
C. They are designed uniquely. D. They are made from e-waste.
14. The underlined word “tricky”in Paragraph 5 means“__________”.
A. creative B. demanding
C. well-paid D. unique
15. What’s the purpose of Tokyo’s way of making the medals
A. To introduce a new technique to make medals.
B. To promote the spirit of Olympic Games.
C. To advocate sustainable use of resources.
D. To call people’s attention to environmental damage.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了东京奥运会组织者决定用从旧电子设备中回收的金属制作所有奥运会奖牌，提倡可持续利用资源。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段关键句“Beginning in April 2017, the organizers placed collection boxes around the country, and asked people to turn in their old electronic devices.”（从2017年4月开始，组织者在全国各地放置了收集箱，并号召人们交出他们的旧电子设备。）和“At first, collection went slowly, but soon more and more areas began to take part. By the end, 1,621 local governments had helped out with the collection process.”（起初，收集工作进展缓慢，但很快越来越多的地区开始参与。到最后，1621个地方政府帮助完成了收集过程。）可知，第四段内容主要介绍了收集旧电子产品的过程，从2017年4月开始，通过在全国各地放置收集箱的方式收集旧电子设备，很快越来越多的地区开始参与，最后，1621个地方政府帮助完成了收集过程，由此可知，第四段主要告诉我们收集旧电子产品的过程。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“As part of this goal, the organizers decided to make all of the Olympic medals out of metal recycled from old electronics.”（作为这一目标的一部分，组织者决定用从旧电子设备中回收的金属制作所有奥运会奖牌。）可知，东京奥运会的奖牌是用从旧电子设备中回收的金属制作的，由此可知，关于东京奥运会的奖牌，我们能知道它们是由电子废弃物制成的。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线单词后句“which calls for careful attention and good skill”（这需要仔细的注意力和良好的技能）可知，从电子废弃物中提取金属的工作需要仔细的注意力和良好的技能，由此可知，这是要求很高的工作，“demanding”意为“要求高的，需要高技能的”，能够表达画线单词的意思。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段内容“One novel focus of the Tokyo Olympics is to be “sustainable”— to avoid using too many natural resources, so that the games are easy on the environment. As part of this goal, the organizers decided to make all of the Olympic medals out of metal recycled from old electronics.”（东京奥运会的一个新焦点是“可持续性”——避免使用太多的自然资源，从而使奥运会对环境是友好的。作为这一目标的一部分，组织者决定用从旧电子设备中回收的金属制作所有奥运会奖牌。）可知，东京奥运会组织者决定用从旧电子设备中回收的金属制作所有奥运会奖牌，是因为提倡资源的可持续利用，从而使奥运会对环境是友好的，由此可知，东京奥运会制作奖牌的方式的目的是提倡可持续利用资源。故选C项。

Natural disasters come without warning, and this underlines the need for disaster management. Natural disasters may cause death or damage crops and properties without warning.

2. Each community has its own set of emergency signals.____17____Knowing what to do at once gives you a head start in any emergency.
3. ____18____Include discussions on what is likely to happen and what should be done in such cases. Plan how each one of you will react and what are the responsibilities of each one, in order to be able to work as a team.
4. Set a meeting place in case of a natural disaster. It should be one within the vicinity (附近) of your workplace or home, and one outside your immediate vicinity.____19____Agree on an emergency telephone that everyone should try to call.
5. Prepare a disaster supply toolbox. Stock it with first aid supplies.____20____Prepare emergency lights like flashlights with batteries. Include a battery-powered radio in the kit so you can listen to updates.

B. Discuss the dangers of different types of natural disasters.

【答案】16. G 17. A 18. B 19. D 20. E
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当你计划应对自然灾害时，要采取的步骤。
【16题详解】
设空在段中，应起到承前启后的作用。根据前文内容Ask your local Red Cross chapter or emergency management office for reminders of disasters and emergency management steps.(向当地红十字会或应急管理办公室询问灾害提醒和应急管理措施)可知，段中提及向红十字会询问灾害提醒和应急管理措施，且后文已经提及emergency steps(应急管理措施)，因此设空句需要涉及“灾害提醒”。 G选项This is also the best time to ask what kind of disasters may likely take place.(这也是询问可能发生何种灾难的最佳时机)符合语境需求。故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据前文内容Each community has its own set of emergency signals.(每个社区都有自己的一套紧急信号)可知，本段主要讲述要对社区的紧急信号有所了解。A选项Find out what they sound like and what they mean.(找出它们听起来像什么，它们是什么意思)为了解紧急信号的方式，符合本段主旨。故选A项。
【18题详解】
根据后一句Include discussions on what is likely to happen and what should be done in such cases.( 包括讨论在这种情况下可能会发生什么以及应该做什么)可知，设空句应提及关键词discuss(讨论)。B选项Discuss the dangers of different types of natural disasters.(讨论不同类型的自然灾害的危险)符合语境，且对应关键词discuss。故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据前一句It should be one within the vicinity of your workplace or home, and one outside your immediate vicinity.(它应该是一个在你的工作场所或家附近，一个在你紧邻场所的外面)可知，设空句应是进一步解释为何选择这样的地点作为集合场。D选项Everyone should try to reach it when a natural disaster happens.(当自然灾害发生时，每个人都应该设法到达它)为合理解释，符合句意。故选D项。
【20题详解】
根据主题句Prepare a disaster supply toolbox.(准备一个应急工具箱)可知，在准备灾难应急箱时，水和食物应是必需品。E选项Prepare some water and food that should be enough for three days.(准备一些足够三天的水和食物)符合语境，贴合主旨。故选E项。
【点睛】七选五技巧之段首主题句的选择
如果设空处在段首，通常是段落的主题句。寻找主题句时，着重阅读后文第1，2句，锁定线索信号词，然后在选项中查找相关特征词，最后看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。
比如文章第3小题：
3.____3____Include discussions on what is likely to happen and what should be done in such cases. Plan how each one of you will react and what are the responsibilities of each one , in order to be able to work as a team.
该题设空在段首，应为本段的主题句。阅读后文第1句锁定线索信号词discussion，在选项B. Discuss the dangers of different types of natural disasters.中出现了相关特征词discuss，且符合本段主题。故答案为D项。
第二部分 完形填空(共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分)

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是2021年10月16日，神舟13号成功发射后，第二批三名宇航员前往天河空间站及宇航员在空间站将要开展的工作。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意：2021年10月16日，神舟13号成功发射后，第二批三名宇航员前往天河空间站。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词launch，succeed的形容词是successful，意为“成功的”，故填successful。
【42题详解】
考查动名词。句意：他们将花费大量时间测试和验证技术，以使中国能够完成新的空间站的建设，该空间站被称为“天宫”。spend some time doing sth.是固定短语，意为“花费时间做某事”，因此空格处用动名词作宾语，故填testing。
【43题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句的引导词。句意：他们将花费大量时间测试和验证技术，以使中国能够完成新的空间站的建设，该空间站被称为“天宫”。分析可知，空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词space station是物，因此空格处用关系代词which，故填which。
【44题详解】
考查时态，被动语态和主谓一致。句意：该空间站将由三个模块组成；另外两艘预计将于明年向54英尺长(16.6米)的天河发射。“另外两艘”是被预计将于明年向54英尺长(16.6米)的天河发射，通篇时态是一般将来时，因此空格处用一般现在时的被动语态，即are/is done，主语the other two是复数，因此空格处是are expected，故填are expected。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意：例如，中国官员说，神舟13号机组人员将使用天河对接舱机械臂将自动货运飞船天舟2号从一个天河对接口移动到另一个天河对接口。由前面的one可知，空格处表示“另一个”，即another，故填another。
【46题详解】
考查时态。句意：今年5月，“天舟二号”抵达天河，为神舟12号机组人员运送物资。由in May可知，时态用一般过去时，空格处用过去式arrived。故填arrived。
【47题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：翟、王和叶还将在天河号上进行各种实验，包括旨在推进太空医学和科学家对微重力物理的理解的工作。a variety of后用名词的复数，因此空格处是复数experiments，故填experiments。
【48题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：翟、王和叶还将在天河号上进行各种实验，包括旨在推进太空医学和科学家对微重力物理的理解的工作。分析可知，句中谓语是will also conduct，空格处用非谓语形式，work和design是被动关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，作后置定语，故填designed。
【49题详解】
考查介词和固定短语。句意：地面上的研究人员将密切关注这三人的健康状况，以了解更长时间的太空飞行对人们的心理和身体有何影响。learn about是固定短语，意为“了解”，因此空格处是介词about，故填about。
【50题详解】
考查副词。句意：地面上的研究人员将密切关注这三人的健康状况，以了解更长时间的太空飞行对人们的心理和身体有何影响。空格处用副词修饰动词affect，mental的副词是mentally，意为“心理上”，故填mentally。

My little cousin is great interested in science. And he does some dangerous experiments sometime. Although his parents wants to encourage him to be great scientist, they often worry about his safety. Last week, when my cousin was doing an experiment, he hurt him thumb. Felt sad, my aunt wanted him to stop doing that experiment. Therefore, my cousin didn’t want to give up. He said, “Many scientists got hurt when they were doing experiments, but they didn’t give out.” My aunt had to have him to finish the experiment and he finally succeeded in finish it.

2. sometime→sometimes
3. wants→want
4. 在great前加a
5. him→his
6. Felt→Feeling
7. Therefore→However
8. out→up
9. 删除to
10. finish→finishing
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者的表弟对科学很感兴趣，做实验时不怕危险，最终取得成功的故事。
【详解】1.考查副词。句意：我小表弟对科学很感兴趣。分析句子可知，句中“interested”为形容词，前面应用副词修饰，“great”意为“极大的”，形容词词性，对应的副词为“greatly”，意为“很，非常”。故将great改为greatly。
2.考查副词。句意：他有时做一些危险的实验。分析句子可知，句中“sometime”意为“在某时”，不符合句意，因为小表弟对科学很感兴趣，应该是“有时”做一些危险的实验，“sometimes”意为“有时”，副词词性。故将sometime改为sometimes。
3.考查时态和主谓一致。句意：虽然他的父母想鼓励他成为一名伟大的科学家，但他们经常担心他的安全。根据句意可知，句子陈述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，句子主语“his parents”为复数形式，故“want”应用原形。故将wants改为want。
4.考查冠词。句意：虽然他的父母想鼓励他成为一名伟大的科学家，但他们经常担心他的安全。根据句意可知，句中泛指一名伟大的科学家，故“great scientist”前应用不定冠词修饰，“great”单词音标的第一个音素为辅音音素，故应用不定冠词“a”。故在great前加a。
5.考查代词。句意：上周，当我表弟做实验时，他伤了拇指。分析句子可知，句中“thumb”为名词，应用形容词性物主代词修饰，“him”为人称代词宾格，对应的形容词性物主代词为“his”，意为“他的”。故将him改为his。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意：我姑妈感到很难过，希望他停止做那个实验。分析句子可知，句中有谓语动词“wanted”且句中无连词，故应用“feel”的非谓语动词，句子主语“my aunt”和“feel”之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故应用“feel”的现在分词“feeling”在句中作状语，句首单词首字母大写。故将Felt改为Feeling。
7.考查副词。句意：然而，我的表弟不想放弃。根据上下文逻辑关系可知，“我姑妈希望他停止做那个实验”和“我的表弟不想放弃”之间为转折关系，“Therefore”意为“因此”，不符合逻辑关系，“however”意为“然而”，表转折，符合逻辑关系，句首单词首字母大写。故将Therefore改为However。
8.考查固定短语。句意：他说：“许多科学家在做实验时受伤了，但他们没有放弃。”根据句意可知，句中涉及固定短语“give up”，意为“放弃”，符合句意，“give out”意为“分发”，不符合句意。故将out改为up。
9.考查固定短语。句意：我姑妈不得不让他完成实验，他终于成功地完成了。根据句意可知，句中涉及固定短语“have sb. do sth.”，意为“让某人做某事”，故句中“to”多余。故将to删除。
10.考查固定短语。句意：我姑妈不得不让他完成实验，他终于成功地完成了。根据句意可知，句中涉及固定短语“succeed in doing sth.”，意为“成功做某事”，“finish”意为“完成”，动词词性，动名词形式为“finishing”。 故将finish改为finishing。

the Students’ Union
【答案】Dear teachers and fellow students,
There is no doubt that our planet is getting warmer and warmer. Global warming has already brought about the rise of the sea level, the spread of diseases and the extinction of species. It’s our responsibility to live a low-carbon life to save the earth before it is too late.
Everyone is expected to cultivate the awareness of saving energy and resources. First, travelling by public transportation is an effective way to save energy and reduce the emission of carbon dioxide. Second, make full use of every drop of water. For example, flush the toilet with the used water. Also, try to avoid using disposable products like plastic bags. If you do use them, use them more than once.
Together, individuals can make a difference and every little thing counts!
The Student Union

Ray is a physical education teacher at Central Algoma Secondary School. This year, most of their classes were remote due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
One day, Ray was talking to his daughter Sadie, who was set to graduate. The school was planning to have teachers hand-deliver diplomas (毕业文凭) to each student’s home, but Sadie asked her dad if she could receive hers on a nearby outdoor stage instead.
“I said, ‘Sure, I’ll do that. No problem. Is there anybody else who would like to receive their diploma on the stage ’ ” Ray said. “And she said, ‘Yeah, everybody would like to get their diploma on the stage.’ ”
Moved, the creative dad got to work to make it happen — not just for his daughter, but for all of the graduating seniors! He spent about six hours one weekend building a portable (便携的) stage that he could pull behind his truck. He then got permission from the school, and they eagerly agreed to help make his mobile graduation mission a success.
“It’s such an important event for so many people. … It was almost like the first win that we’ve had in a year and a half after being beaten down,” Ray said. “We finally get to do this one thing that we’ll remember for the rest of our lives.”
Over the course of two days in late June, Ray traveled over 250 miles to give 72 graduates their big moment!
Jo l Lamoureux was one student who received his diploma on the portable stage. His mom, Krissie Lamoureux, said the experience felt relaxed and easy while still providing an important photo opportunity for this milestone in their lives.
“It was extremely personal,” she added. “It’s really hard as a parent to watch your child graduate from a distance and not be able to really be a part of anything.”
All of the students were grateful to Ray and the school for creating a safe way to celebrate their accomplishments
4. What inspired Ray to create the stage
A. The COVID-19 pandemic. B. His daughter’s appeal.
C. The school’s permission. D. The graduates’ request.
5. What can we infer from Ray’s words in Paragraph 5
A. He has won the competition. B. He has experienced many failures.
C. His work is highly thought of. D. His work is of great significance.
6. What’s Krissie Lamoureux’s feeling about Ray’s stage
A. Satisfied. B. Envious. C. Appreciative. D. Comfortable.
7. What’s the best title of this text
A. A Teacher Builds a Portable Stage B. A Different Celebration Is on Show
C. A Personal Work Gains Popularity D. A Teacher Helps Deliver Diplomas

An article caught my attention this week.It claims that few parents these days tend to hire neighborhood teens to watch their kids. In fact, the article states that the average age of babysitters(代人临时照看小孩的人)in the UK has risen from 14 to 34 over the past several decades.
I worked as a teenage babysitter for years. At that time, I took up those jobs as they were economic to do so,but now I see them as valuable experiences. The article reminded me of just how significantly babysitting influenced my worldview and my approach to parenting. It made me think that more teens should be involved in babysitting because it really does prepare them for life in a way that few other things can.
Babysitting makes everyone's life easier.I gained many practical skills adapting to children. I discovered that the outdoor activities are the best way to wear out high-energy children and that reading books aloud is an excellent way to pass the time and that music makes an instant party Babysitting reveals how other households operate.This is a fascinating,invaluable lesson. I had great conversations with the parents of children I babysat. Some parents introduced me to their favorite music,described their own jobs and interests,and showed curiosity about my schoolwork and life goals.
In a society where families are increasingly isolated (孤立的) from each other, where children are no longer raised by a “ village ” or community of caring individuals, hiring a teenage babysitter is a simple way to bridge that gap and it also gives that teen a chance to gain some independence. The next time you're having a date night with your partner,don't hesitate to call on that teen down the street and offer him or her a job. It could be the best thing for all of you.
8. What is the common phenomenon of babysitting in the UK
A. The adults' having difficulty watching over their kids.
B The increasing average age of babysitters.
C. The youth's lack of interest in babysitting.
D. The rising demand for babysitters.
9. Why did the author choose to be a babysitter in the past
A. To learn how to get along with others.
B. To gain social experiences.
C. To make money.
D. To encourage more teenagers to be babysitters.
10. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3
A. To show how other households operate.
B. To reveal the kindness of some parents.
C. To share her experiences of babysitting.
D. To state the benefits of babysitting.
11. What does the author suggest that parents do in the last paragraph
A. Create harmonious community culture.
B. Spend more time at home with their kids.
C. Offer opportunities of babysitting to teenagers.
D. Encourage their kids to be more independent.
D
The Tokyo Summer Olympics is going green. The 5,000 medals Japan has made are more special than most.
One novel focus of the Tokyo Olympics is to be “sustainable”— to avoid using too many natural resources, so that the games are easy on the environment. As part of this goal, the organizers decided to make all of the Olympic medals out of metal recycled from old electronics.
Almost all electronics are made with small amounts of “precious metals”, like gold and silver. But collecting enough of these metals to make 5,000 medals was a huge challenge. That’s because the amount of metal in each device is tiny. It would take about 20,000 cell phones to get just 1 kilogram of gold.
Beginning in April 2017, the organizers placed collection boxes around the country, and asked people to turn in their old electronic devices. Soon people began to respond to the initiative, turning in smartphones, digital cameras, hand-held games, and laptops. At first, collection went slowly, but soon more and more areas began to take part. By the end, 1,621 local governments had helped out with the collection process.
Then came the job of breaking those devices down into smaller pieces. After being taken apart and sorted, the small electronics were smelted (熔炼) to get all the gold, silver, and bronze elements. This is a tricky job, which calls for careful attention and good skill. It’s also dangerous, because some of the metals and other things aren’t safe for people to touch or breathe.
By the end of March, 2019, the organizers had hit their targets of getting enough metal for the medals. They had collected around 32 kilograms of gold, 4,100 kilograms of silver and 2,200 kilograms of bronze. And now all the 5,000 medals are available for the would-be winners.
12. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us
A. The difficulty of making the medals.
B. The process of collecting old electronics.
C. The initiative to recycle used smartphones.
D. The classification of the collected devices.
13. What can we know about the Tokyo Olympics medals
A. They are hugely valuable. B. They are of high quality.
C. They are designed uniquely. D. They are made from e-waste.
14. The underlined word “tricky”in Paragraph 5 means“__________”.
A. creative B. demanding
C. well-paid D. unique
15. What’s the purpose of Tokyo’s way of making the medals
A. To introduce a new technique to make medals.
B. To promote the spirit of Olympic Games.
C. To advocate sustainable use of resources.
D. To call people’s attention to environmental damage.
