Frederick Phiri is the junk-art king of Zambia:at just 22,he started to earn an international reputation for being able to make complex and elegant sculptures from scrap(废弃的) metal found in his community.
Phiri’s father died when he was starting primary school.Then his mother abandoned him and he had to stay with his grandfather.His grandfather paid for his schooling through primary school but when he entered secondary school,he had to get various jobs to pay for his fees.Yet even in school,he was always drawing and making things in class.
After graduating,he did what he could to support himself by making animal sculptures from wires and sold them to tourists.His work was so popular that it caught the eye of Karen Beattie,director of Project Luangwa,a nonprofit organization dedicated to education and economic development in central Africa.
“I introduced him to a local welder(焊工),” Beattie told Newsweek.
In 2017,Phiri worked with welder Moses Mbewe during the rainy season,helping to make a complex set of doors for Project Luangwa.The piece sparked an idea in Beattie’s mind:“I handed him a bunch of scrap metal and said,‘Make something with this.’And he did.It was wonderful.”
Today,Phiri continues his art,using pieces of junk people bring him—keys,broken bike chains,old metal plugs and whatever scrap metal is lying around.He then turns the junk into abstract animals—elephants,cranes,giraffes,chameleons—and sells them at Project Luangwa headquarters.The community has recognized his talents.
“My dream is to earn enough to study art at the Evelyn Hone College in Lusaka and be able to make a living from it,” Phiri said,“and then to make very large sculptures.”

Daily News—San Francisco chef Cecilia Chiang,who first changed the stereotypes about Chinese cuisine in the United States,died Wednesday.She was 100.
Chiang was the owner,chef and mastermind behind the game-changing San Francisco restaurant,the Mandarin.She is widely credited with bringing real Chinese food to America and was a celebrity chef before celebrity chefs were popularized.
Chiang,who was born near Shanghai,came from an upper-class Chinese family.Although she wasn’t shy about admitting her good fortune,she faced other,perhaps more hard-won obstacles.To convince the dining public that Chinese food didn’t have to be Thursday’s cheap take-out option,Chiang had her work cut out for her,when she moved to the Bay Area in 1959.She insisted on showing diners the refined side of Chinese food and wanted to upgrade the Chinese dining experience.To do this,she also needed to be aware of aesthetics.
The Mandarin did not serve chop suey or chow mien,two standard dishes on every Chinese restaurant in the US at the time.But this is exactly what Chiang wanted to avoid.In fact,her early encounter with Chinese food in America had left her determined to show San Francisco what Chinese food was really like.
“She deliberately and constantly supported outsiders trying to make their mark in food,” her granddaughter,Siena Chiang said.“I hope she is a signal and an inspiration to people with marginalized identities to always believe in your own worth and knowledge,and not to give into other cultures.”
8.What is the best title of the passage
A.Cecilia brought real Chinese food to America
B.Cecilia opened a game-changing restaurant in San Francisco
C.Cecilia,a great chef of Chinese cuisine,died at the age of 100
D.Cecilia,a chef celebrity
9.Which of following can best replace the underlined phrase “had her work cut out ”
A.Cut her work into small parts.
B.Had lots of work to do.
C.Reached out for help.
D.Was out of her job.
10.What did Cecilia Chiang do to change Americans’ impression on Chinese cuisine
A.To be an aesthetician.
B.To stop offering takeout food on Thursday.
C.To serve chop suey or chow mien.
D.To improve the Chinese dining experience.
11.What can we learn from Siena Chiang’s words
A.Cecilia encouraged outsiders to value their own culture.
B.Cecilia is a signal and an inspiration to Americans.
C.Cecilia adjusted Chinese food according to American culture.
D.Cecilia competed with outsiders in making their mark in food.

The Notre Dame(巴黎圣母院) fire has been put out,but its spire(尖顶) and a large portion of its wooden roof have been damaged.The terrible destruction causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world.“What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.”
But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them,namely through a video game called Assassin’s Creed:Unity.In this game,the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality,and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire.Further,with virtual reality technology,which is already quite mature,one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it were still there.Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage.
The idea of making digital models of ancient buildings to save their data dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then.By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers,building 3D models with multiple images,as well as measuring everything precisely,engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.
As computers and smartphones are hugely popular,the digital model has great useful value.First,it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them.The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them.Furthermore,it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet.In 2000,a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo,which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years.Above all,it preserves all the information of the cultural relics.
Of course,however precise a model is,it is not the original.Maybe we will have better technologies in the future,but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.
12.What can we see about Notre Dame in the game
A.The damaged Notre Dame.
B.Its wooden shape.
C.The big fire.
D.Its original look.
13.What will engineers do to create a digital copy of the ancient buildings
A.Build 3D models of full size.
B.Scan the photos of the buildings.
C.Measure all the parts exactly.
D.Improve the technology needed.
14.How does the author prove the digital copy has vital practical importance
A.By giving examples. B.By classification.
C.By comparison. D.By listing data.
15.What is the author’s attitude towards the application of the technology
A.Delighted.
B.Supportive.
C.Doubtful.
D.Conservative.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Major
Majors are important in college because it’s what determines not only what degree you will graduate with,but what career you will be most qualified for once you’ve graduated.While it might not be something you want to think about right now,it is something you’re going to decide on eventually.
16
The biggest thing to remember when choosing a major is to stick with a subject that interests you.This is for your career,and you’re much more likely to be happy if you choose a field that’s in line with what you would like to pursue as a dream job.
17
It is undeniable(不可否认的) that some careers just make more money than others.That means that some majors are more valuable than others,and as college is supposed to be an investment,thinking about your dream salary is of great importance.
18
So don’t choose career that will bring you a great salary but that leaves you feeling depressed and unhappy.
19
If you’re one of those lucky students who know what you’d like your major to be before applying for college,we suggest that you research your top choices first.Which ones are best known Do these programs have a good reputation for helping students find employment in your field after graduation Which schools offer world-class professors These are important questions,because unfortunately,not all majors are created equally.
Don’t Panic.
If you’ve gone through all these tips and you still don’t know what you’d like to major in,don’t panic.It’s normal to go to college not having a clear idea of what you’d like to do as a career;it’s also normal to think you know what you want to do as a profession only to change your mind halfway through your time in college.Remember that college is about finding what truly motivates you,so don’t panic if it doesn’t show up right away. 20
A.Be confident with yourself.
B.You have time.
C.How much money do you want to make
D.Talk to professionals in the field.
E.However,remember that your happiness is very important.
F.What schools are best for your interests
G.What excites you

The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day.How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed.They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge.They had watched their mother in the kitchen.There was nothing to it.Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last.The alarm rang at 6 a.m.The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen.They decided to boil the porridge first.They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast.Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk.Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture.Next,Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan.Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread.The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds.Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread.This time,she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake.The next minute,the porridge boiled over and put out the fire.Jenna panicked.Thankfully,Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly.But the stove was a mess now.Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge.But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain.Jenna made him put his hand in cold water.Then she caught the smell of burning.Oh dear!The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
As the twins looked around them in disappointment,their father appeared.
The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up.

Frederick Phiri is the junk-art king of Zambia:at just 22,he started to earn an international reputation for being able to make complex and elegant sculptures from scrap(废弃的) metal found in his community.
Phiri’s father died when he was starting primary school.Then his mother abandoned him and he had to stay with his grandfather.His grandfather paid for his schooling through primary school but when he entered secondary school,he had to get various jobs to pay for his fees.Yet even in school,he was always drawing and making things in class.
After graduating,he did what he could to support himself by making animal sculptures from wires and sold them to tourists.His work was so popular that it caught the eye of Karen Beattie,director of Project Luangwa,a nonprofit organization dedicated to education and economic development in central Africa.
“I introduced him to a local welder(焊工),” Beattie told Newsweek.
In 2017,Phiri worked with welder Moses Mbewe during the rainy season,helping to make a complex set of doors for Project Luangwa.The piece sparked an idea in Beattie’s mind:“I handed him a bunch of scrap metal and said,‘Make something with this.’And he did.It was wonderful.”
Today,Phiri continues his art,using pieces of junk people bring him—keys,broken bike chains,old metal plugs and whatever scrap metal is lying around.He then turns the junk into abstract animals—elephants,cranes,giraffes,chameleons—and sells them at Project Luangwa headquarters.The community has recognized his talents.
“My dream is to earn enough to study art at the Evelyn Hone College in Lusaka and be able to make a living from it,” Phiri said,“and then to make very large sculptures.”

Daily News—San Francisco chef Cecilia Chiang,who first changed the stereotypes about Chinese cuisine in the United States,died Wednesday.She was 100.
Chiang was the owner,chef and mastermind behind the game-changing San Francisco restaurant,the Mandarin.She is widely credited with bringing real Chinese food to America and was a celebrity chef before celebrity chefs were popularized.
Chiang,who was born near Shanghai,came from an upper-class Chinese family.Although she wasn’t shy about admitting her good fortune,she faced other,perhaps more hard-won obstacles.To convince the dining public that Chinese food didn’t have to be Thursday’s cheap take-out option,Chiang had her work cut out for her,when she moved to the Bay Area in 1959.She insisted on showing diners the refined side of Chinese food and wanted to upgrade the Chinese dining experience.To do this,she also needed to be aware of aesthetics.
The Mandarin did not serve chop suey or chow mien,two standard dishes on every Chinese restaurant in the US at the time.But this is exactly what Chiang wanted to avoid.In fact,her early encounter with Chinese food in America had left her determined to show San Francisco what Chinese food was really like.
“She deliberately and constantly supported outsiders trying to make their mark in food,” her granddaughter,Siena Chiang said.“I hope she is a signal and an inspiration to people with marginalized identities to always believe in your own worth and knowledge,and not to give into other cultures.”
8.What is the best title of the passage
A.Cecilia brought real Chinese food to America
B.Cecilia opened a game-changing restaurant in San Francisco
C.Cecilia,a great chef of Chinese cuisine,died at the age of 100
D.Cecilia,a chef celebrity

B.Had lots of work to do.
C.Reached out for help.
D.Was out of her job.
10.What did Cecilia Chiang do to change Americans’ impression on Chinese cuisine
A.To be an aesthetician.
B.To stop offering takeout food on Thursday.
C.To serve chop suey or chow mien.
D.To improve the Chinese dining experience.
11.What can we learn from Siena Chiang’s words

B.Cecilia is a signal and an inspiration to Americans.
C.Cecilia adjusted Chinese food according to American culture.
D.Cecilia competed with outsiders in making their mark in food.

The Notre Dame(巴黎圣母院) fire has been put out,but its spire(尖顶) and a large portion of its wooden roof have been damaged.The terrible destruction causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world.“What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.”
But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them,namely through a video game called Assassin’s Creed:Unity.In this game,the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality,and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire.Further,with virtual reality technology,which is already quite mature,one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it were still there.Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage.
The idea of making digital models of ancient buildings to save their data dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then.By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers,building 3D models with multiple images,as well as measuring everything precisely,engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.
As computers and smartphones are hugely popular,the digital model has great useful value.First,it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them.The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them.Furthermore,it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet.In 2000,a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo,which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years.Above all,it preserves all the information of the cultural relics.
Of course,however precise a model is,it is not the original.Maybe we will have better technologies in the future,but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.
12.What can we see about Notre Dame in the game
A.The damaged Notre Dame.
B.Its wooden shape.
C.The big fire.
D.Its original look.
13.What will engineers do to create a digital copy of the ancient buildings
A.Build 3D models of full size.
B.Scan the photos of the buildings.
C.Measure all the parts exactly.
D.Improve the technology needed.
14.How does the author prove the digital copy has vital practical importance
A.By giving examples. B.By classification.
C.By comparison. D.By listing data.
15.What is the author’s attitude towards the application of the technology
A.Delighted.
B.Supportive.
C.Doubtful.
D.Conservative.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Major
Majors are important in college because it’s what determines not only what degree you will graduate with,but what career you will be most qualified for once you’ve graduated.While it might not be something you want to think about right now,it is something you’re going to decide on eventually.
16
The biggest thing to remember when choosing a major is to stick with a subject that interests you.This is for your career,and you’re much more likely to be happy if you choose a field that’s in line with what you would like to pursue as a dream job.
17
It is undeniable(不可否认的) that some careers just make more money than others.That means that some majors are more valuable than others,and as college is supposed to be an investment,thinking about your dream salary is of great importance.
18
So don’t choose career that will bring you a great salary but that leaves you feeling depressed and unhappy.
19
If you’re one of those lucky students who know what you’d like your major to be before applying for college,we suggest that you research your top choices first.Which ones are best known Do these programs have a good reputation for helping students find employment in your field after graduation Which schools offer world-class professors These are important questions,because unfortunately,not all majors are created equally.
Don’t Panic.
If you’ve gone through all these tips and you still don’t know what you’d like to major in,don’t panic.It’s normal to go to college not having a clear idea of what you’d like to do as a career;it’s also normal to think you know what you want to do as a profession only to change your mind halfway through your time in college.Remember that college is about finding what truly motivates you,so don’t panic if it doesn’t show up right away. 20
A.Be confident with yourself.
B.You have time.
C.How much money do you want to make
D.Talk to professionals in the field.
E.However,remember that your happiness is very important.
F.What schools are best for your interests
G.What excites you

The big day came at last.The alarm rang at 6 a.m.The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen.They decided to boil the porridge first.They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast.Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk.Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture.Next,Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan.Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread.The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds.Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread.This time,she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake.The next minute,the porridge boiled over and put out the fire.Jenna panicked.Thankfully,Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly.But the stove was a mess now.Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge.But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain.Jenna made him put his hand in cold water.Then she caught the smell of burning.Oh dear!The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
