Doug Falter, an American photographer, returned home, teary-eyed and exhausted. He posted online that evening, "I lost my baby." That "baby" referred to a surfboard that had been custom-made for him. Hours earlier, a big wave had separated Falter from this prized possession.
Months passed with no sign of the surfboard. Falter saved money to buy a new surfboard for $ 1,500. But Falter never completely forgot the surfboard, which----- six months later and more than 5,000 miles away from where it disappeared----floated to the southern Philippines.The local fisherman who found it didn't have much use of his unusual catch of the day, so he sold the board for $ 40 to Giovanne Branzuela, an elementary school teacher. Branzuela hoped to learn to surf and one day share the skill with his students,who regularly accompany him on beach clean-ups.
The once-blue board had faded to a pale straw color during its journey, but its distinctive markings were still there: two elephants, one at either end. Underneath the elephants were the words "Doug Falter Surfboard".
Branzuela couldn't believe it on realizing how far the surfboard had traveled. He reached Falter online and sent him a photo of the surfboard. Falter was shocked to learn that his "baby"had drifted(漂流) across the world's largest ocean and survived. He was overjoyed.
But the story was far from over. Falter wanted to thank Branzuela with some surfing supplies for his kind act, but the teacher asked for school supplies instead, such as backpacks for his students and materials to help them learn English.
Falter said it made him raise money for the kids. So far, he has collected $ 2,500,which he has used to buy and ship maps, puzzles, classroom posters, textbooks, and workbooks.
28. What happened to Doug Falter that afternoon
A. His baby was lost on the beach. B. His custom-made camera was damaged.

A. He wanted to learn a new skill to teach his students.
B. He found it belonged to Doug Falter.
C. He found the fisherman charged low for it.
D. He liked the pale straw color of it.
30. What can we infer about the surfboard
A. Branzuela kept it as a prized possession.
B. Branzuela's students learned surfing with it.
C. Falter sold it to help Philippine children.
D. It was returned to its owner after a long journey.
31. Which of the following can best describe Giovanne Branzuela

Are you fed up with staring at a computer screen for hours straight just to review your classes It's a problem that many of us encounter. So why not pick up your headset and learn via a podcast
Podcast, or boke, refers to a range of audio programs on different audio platforms. According to China Daily, podcasts have become popular among young Chinese people who would like to enjoy the peace and power of learning through sound.
Established in 2012, China's largest online audio platform, Ximalaya saw its subscribers(订阅者) pass 600 million by December 2019. Among these users over 46 percent were born in the 1990s and 2000s. On average, active users listen to podcasts for nearly three hours per day.
The emergence of domestic online radio platforms and the convenience brought about by smart devices are certainly two reasons for the popularity of the format. Its flexible nature also makes it a winner among the young audience.
“Audio is a good medium for content that can break the limit of time and space,” Jiang Feng, vice-president of Ximalaya, told China Daily. He added that podcasts have become an important channel for people to acquire information and knowledge.It also can accompany listeners in many different circumstances including working, studying,exercising,traveling and just before going to bed.
Apart from providing company,the new media form also gives people a platform to speak out about important issues.
A senior high school student who wanted to be admitted to The Central Academy of Drama failed his national college entrance examination twice. He talked about the pressure he faced on an audio program called Please Listen,launched by Mango TV on Feb 19, 2020. The program was designed to relieve audiences' worries by sharing personal stories.
Podcasts tend to be a discussion, and just like real life conversations, they follow a flexible structure and usually last for at least an hour.
“More often than not, you can't summarize two or three important points from those conversations, like you could from articles. They often do not have conclusions, either. It's a very freeform medium that is very friendly to listeners," Pan Aijuan, a podcast listener and book editor at a publishing house,told China Daily.
At the same time, the use of podcasts trains people to first listen to others before offering one's own opinions. It helps build up our patience and listening skills. Cheng Yanliang, a co-founder of the podcast Left and Right, stated that “audio programs can filter those bad-tempered people who would lose patience after reading several paragraphs and start writing awful comments to insult others”.
With such advantages,“podcasts are entering the mainstream in China”, noted China Daily.
28. Why does the author mention Ximalaya in the third paragraph
A.To inform the readers of its fast development.
B.To show the impact it has on users.
C.To demonstrate the popularity of podcasts in China.
D.To discuss the characteristics of podcasts.
29. What is the main aim of the audio program Please Listen
A.To amuse audiences in different ways.
B.To help audiences ease their worries.
C.To allow audiences to comment on current affairs.
D.To give audiences a platform to acquire knowledge.
30.Why does Pan Aijuan think podcasts are friendly to listeners
A. Their content usually follows a flexible structure.
B. They can accompany listeners in different circumstances.
C. They provide listeners with a sea of information.
D.It is quite easy to draw a conclusion from a podcast.
31. How can podcasts influence people's personality according to the text
A.They can make people more cheerful.
B.They can make people lose their temper more easily.
C.They can help break the habit of insulting people online.
D.They can make people more patient.
D
Imagine a world without insects. It might sound good at first without creepy-crawly bugs and annoying flies in your apartment. However, the consequences would be disastrous.
The number of insects has dropped by more than half in the past decades, according to British biologist Dave Goulson, author of Silent Earth: Averting the Insect Apocalypse. As insects make up most of the known species on this planet, this data is not good news, The Guardian reported on July 25.
Insects are indeed on the path to extinction, according to the first global scientific review of insect population decline, which was published in the journal Biological Conservation in January 2019. The researchers say intensive agriculture has been the main cause of the decline. Pesticides, in particular, destroy insect habitats. Urbanization and climate change are also significant factors.
“Unless we change our ways of producing food, insects as a whole will go down the path of extinction in a few decades,” the researchers wrote in the review. “The repercussions(影响) this will have for the planet’s ecosystems are catastrophic to say the least.”
What would happen to Earth without insects It’s almost impossible to predict, but the consequences would be far-reaching. We need insects to pollinate(授粉) crops, recycle plant and animal material, keep the soil healthy and much more. Without insects, many animals would have nothing to eat, and the predators（捕食者） of those animals would go hungry as well. The ecosystem would be thrown off balance.
“If insect species losses cannot be stopped, this will have catastrophic consequences for both the planet’s ecosystems and for the survival of mankind,” said Francisco Sanchez-Bayo at the University of Sydney, Australia, one of the authors of the review.
The first step to halting this process is “to engender a society that values the natural world, both for what it does for us and for its own sake”, Goulson suggests. “The obvious place to start is with our children, encouraging environmental awareness from an early age.”
32. What does the underlined word “disastrous” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Extremely terrible. B. Very interesting.
C. Highly helpful. D. Impossible to predict.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Problems with intensive agriculture.
B. Causes of the decline in the insect population.
C. Factors causing insect habitat loss.
D. Influence of urbanization on insects.
34. Why are insects so important to Earth
A. They help slow down climate change.
B. They reduce the number of predators.
C. They have a great impact on the ecosystem.
D. They keep the soil dry and healthy.
35. What does Goulson believe is key to preventing insect species losses
A. Exploring the natural world often.
B. Providing insects with enough food.
C. Taking children to watch insects closely.
D. Raising public awareness of natural protection.

In addition, being outgoing as well as warm-hearted, I’m always ready to share what I know with my counterparts in foreign schools. Above all, I have traveled to Europe twice for summer camps before and have experienced foreign cultures ,which makes it possible for me to look at things from different perspectives. I do believe that both my experiences and personalities will meet your requirements.
If you are satisfied with me, please contact me at 6513099. Once selected, I will be very grateful and devote myself to the job. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
