When she was just 9 years old, Hilde Lysiak became famous across the United States for reporting on different news stories.
Hilde Lysiak’s father was a reporter for New York Daily News. When she was young, he often took her to work with him, so she developed a strong interest in news reporting.
At age 8, Hilde Lysiak started her own newspaper, called Orange Street News (OSN). Her family lived on Orange Street at the time. Hilde Lysiak wanted to cover stories important to everyone in her town. Following the rules her father had taught her, she researched and reported stories in her monthly newspaper. She also set up her own website and reported on YouTube.
OSN suddenly became famous when a murder happened in town and 9-year-old Hilde was the first person to report it. Soon, news organizations around the country were writing and reporting stories about Hilde. However, not everyone was happy about Hilde’s efforts. Some people criticized (批评) her parents for allowing her to report on something as unpleasant as a murder. Others criticized Hilde for “pretending to be a reporter”. Hilde was upset about the complaints (埋怨). She responded with a YouTube video, “I never began my newspaper so that people would think I was cute,” she said. “I want to be taken seriously. I am sure other kids do, too.”
That wasn’t the first time Hilde had found it hard for people to take her seriously, which was mainly because of her age. But she never let that stop her. Hilde continued reporting.
In 2019, Hilde wrote a book for young people, called Hilde Cracks the Case, which is based on stories that Hilde wrote. The book was then turned into a TV show called Home Before Dark. For now, Hilde says she has given up reporting. But her efforts have already inspired people around the world.

LEDs are a safe and efficient (高效的) electronic light source that shines with bright white light, now being used around the world. However, according to the International Energy Agency and the World Bank, more than 1 million people in the world still do not have access to electricity. After sunset, most of them light candles or oil lamps. A company in the Netherlands is trying to change that with its product based on LEDs.
“Now for the first time artificial light or solar LED light is less expensive than kerosene (煤油),” said Camille Van Gestel, head of a Dutch company called WakaWaka.
He said WakaWaka, which means “Shine Bright”, is the most efficient solar-powered light and phone charger in the world today. When fully charged, it shines for up to 16 hours. It is affordable, sustainable (可持续的), and its battery lasts for a long time. It can be set up on any flat surface, hung from a ceiling or even placed on a glass bottle.
Van Gestel said it is intended for the poorest of the poor. “Our primary goal is to reach people who live at the base of the pyramid, and who live on less than two dollars a day.” His company operates like any other business, but some of the money made from selling its products is used to make WakaWaka lights affordable to poor people. He said the initiative (发起) is supported by international non-government organizations.
“The International Rescue Committee was one of the first to actually take the WakaWaka power into Syria to provide light and power for Syrian refugees, and now the WakaWaka is the most valued non-food item in Syria,” said Van Gestel.
In the past 24 months, the company has distributed around 300,000 units in places such as Syria, Haiti, Rwanda, Indonesia and the Philippines. Its goal is to reach 1.2 billion people by 2030.
28. What does the first paragraph mainly want to tell us
A. More than 1 million live in poverty. B. Candles and oil lamps are out of date.
C. LEDs are to be widely used in the world. D. A safer and cheaper light source is needed.
29. What can we learn about the company WakaWaka
A. It is the largest producer of LEDs in Europe.
B. It operates differently from most other companies.
C. It has a research and development center in Syria.
D. It can produce artificial light that is affordable and sustainable.
30. Why did Van Gestel say the words in paragraph 4
A. They hope to earn some reputation by donating their company’s products.
B. They expect to help some people who are too poor to have access to electricity.
C. They wish to gain support from international non-governmental organizations.
D. They plan to become the first to produce the most efficient solar-powered light.
31. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A. The company is supposed to expand its production.
B. The company belongs to the International Rescue Committee.
C. The company is trying to promote its products to developed countries.
D. The company attempts to teach people in Syria how to use their products.
D

A pedestrian who was crossing the street on Tuesday while looking at their phone was given a warning, becoming the city’s first to receive a reprimand (训斥) for the behavior.
The Traffic Safety Regulation on Zebra Lines in Xiamen Special Economic Zone, made into a law on Tuesday, states pedestrians should not browse their electronic devices or engage in other activities that may end anger traffic safety while using crossing lanes.

Su Guoqiang, a deputy to the congress among those who raised the motion, said more than 20 percent of traffic accidents in Xiamen happened on crosswalks. “We hope to use the punishment of the ‘small’ act of browsing phones as something to prevent people from doing such a thing,” he told China Central Television.
Peng Chong, a traffic police officer in Xiamen, told CCTV for the time being they will mostly educate and warn violators and make everyone involved in traffic aware of the rules.
32. What does the underlined word “motions” in paragraph 4 mean

When she was just 9 years old, Hilde Lysiak became famous across the United States for reporting on different news stories.
Hilde Lysiak’s father was a reporter for New York Daily News. When she was young, he often took her to work with him, so she developed a strong interest in news reporting.
At age 8, Hilde Lysiak started her own newspaper, called Orange Street News (OSN). Her family lived on Orange Street at the time. Hilde Lysiak wanted to cover stories important to everyone in her town. Following the rules her father had taught her, she researched and reported stories in her monthly newspaper. She also set up her own website and reported on YouTube.
OSN suddenly became famous when a murder happened in town, and 9-year-old Hilde was the first person to report it. Soon, news organizations around the country were writing and reporting stories about Hilde. However, not everyone was happy about Hilde’s efforts. Some people criticized (批评) her parents for allowing her to report on something as unpleasant as a murder. Others criticized Hilde for “pretending to be a reporter”. Hilde was upset about the complaints (埋怨). She responded with a YouTube video, “I never began my newspaper so that people would think I was cute,” she said. “I want to be taken seriously. I am sure other kids do, too.”
That wasn’t the first time Hilde had found it hard for people to take her seriously, which was mainly because of her age. But she never let that stop her. Hilde continued reporting.
In 2019, Hilde wrote a book for young people, called Hilde Cracks the Case, which is based on stories that Hilde wrote. The book was then turned into a TV show called Home Before Dark. For now, Hilde says she has given up reporting. But her efforts have already inspired people around the world.
24. How did Hilde develop her passion for news reporting
A. By going to work with her father.
B. By reading so many news reports herself.
C. By watching how other reporters perform their jobs.
D. By teaching herself the skills and knowledge about news reporting.

A. d-a-b-c B. b-c-a-d C. d-c-b-a D. a-d-c-b
26. Why did some people think little of Hilde

LEDs are a safe and efficient (高效的) electronic light source that shines with bright white light, now being used around the world. However, according to the International Energy Agency and the World Bank, more than 1 million people in the world still do not have access to electricity. After sunset, most of them light candles or oil lamps. A company in the Netherlands is trying to change that with its product based on LEDs.
“Now for the first time artificial light or solar LED light is less expensive than kerosene (煤油),” said Camille Van Gestel, head of a Dutch company called WakaWaka.
He said WakaWaka, which means “Shine Bright”, is the most efficient solar-powered light and phone charger in the world today. When fully charged, it shines for up to 16 hours. It is affordable, sustainable (可持续的), and its battery lasts for a long time. It can be set up on any flat surface, hung from a ceiling or even placed on a glass bottle.
Van Gestel said it is intended for the poorest of the poor. “Our primary goal is to reach people who live at the base of the pyramid, and who live on less than two dollars a day.” His company operates like any other business, but some of the money made from selling its products is used to make WakaWaka lights affordable to poor people. He said the initiative (发起) is supported by international non-government organizations.
“The International Rescue Committee was one of the first to actually take the WakaWaka power into Syria to provide light and power for Syrian refugees, and now the WakaWaka is the most valued non-food item in Syria,” said Van Gestel.
In the past 24 months, the company has distributed around 300,000 units in places such as Syria, Haiti, Rwanda, Indonesia and the Philippines. Its goal is to reach 1.2 billion people by 2030.
28. What does the first paragraph mainly want to tell us
A. More than 1 million live in poverty. B. Candles and oil lamps are out of date.
C. LEDs are to be widely used in the world. D. A safer and cheaper light source is needed.
29. What can we learn about the company WakaWaka
A. It is the largest producer of LEDs in Europe.
B. It operates differently from most other companies.
C. It has a research and development center in Syria.
D. It can produce artificial light that is affordable and sustainable.
30. Why did Van Gestel say the words in paragraph 4
A. They hope to earn some reputation by donating their company’s products.
B. They expect to help some people who are too poor to have access to electricity.
C. They wish to gain support from international non-governmental organizations.
D. They plan to become the first to produce the most efficient solar-powered light.
31. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A. The company is supposed to expand its production.
B. The company belongs to the International Rescue Committee.
C. The company is trying to promote its products to developed countries.
D. The company attempts to teach people in Syria how to use their products.
