Caring 17-year-old, Lauren Schroeder, was inspired to help bring healthy food to needy families in her community. Volunteering during the pandemic at a food shelter when she was just 14, she felt that something was missing from the donated groceries: fresh vegetables. “I thought it would be great to change that,” Lauren told the Washington Post, making a plan to grow and donate homegrown produce.
This kind-hearted teen then told her parents of her wish to start a garden on part of their family farm in Dixon, Iowa, in order to supply local families in need with fresh produce including lettuce, carrots, tomatoes and zucchini. Lauren researched plants online, checking which species needed more shade, how much water was required, and about the best time to harvest each crop.
This year, Lauren doubled the size of her garden to an acre, adding ten more plant varieties including herbs and cauliflower.
In the past two years, this admirable high school junior has donated more than 3,175 kilograms of homegrown produce, with a value of $15,000 as reported on Inside Edition.
She has also won the admiration of her community. Jenna Kingsley, a Future Farmers of America advisor at Lauren’s high school tells MSN that, “Her self-confidence and generous hand to help those in need has left an impact larger than she could have imagined.”

Scientists are worried about the future of the axolotl, an unusual Mexican salamander (蝾螈), and they’re asking for help. A new program lets people “adopt” an axolotl to raise money to support efforts to save the endangered animal.
The axolotl is a strange, but amazing animal, with a long body, short legs, and a long tail. Its body is covered with smooth, slimy skin. Axolotls are famous for their ability to cure themselves. If an axolotl loses a leg, or even part of its heart, brain, or lungs, it can regrow them. Scientists have long been interested in how the axolotl does this. Some people think the information could help solve some human medical problems.
Sadly, axolotls are in trouble. The number of axolotls in Mexico has dropped 99.5% in less than 20 years. There are a number of reasons for the drop in axolotls. One is that the water in the lakes has become more and more polluted. Another is that there are invasive (入侵的) fish in the lakes which are eating the axolotls’ food, and even their babies.
Scientists at Mexico’s National Autonomous University (UNAM) have been working for years to try to protect the axolotls. Last year, the UNAM scientists started a program they called “AdoptAxolotl”. They asked people to donate money to help pay for efforts to save the axolotls. The program was a big hit, and raised more than $26,000. The money was used to help clean up some of Mexican lakes and for a program to raise axolotls in a safe environment. Besides, people were encouraged to pay $30 to virtually (虚拟的) “adopt” one of the animals for a month or pay for food for an axolotl.
8. What do we know about the axolotls from paragraph 2
A. They can live without hearts or lungs.
B. They have short bodies and long legs.
C. They can solve some human problems.
D. They have the ability to cure themselves.
9. What has caused the drop of the axolotls’ population
A. Water pollution. B. Habitat loss. C. Invasive disease. D. Serious overfishing.
10. What do the underlined words “a big hit” most probably mean
A. A great success. B. A big mistake. C. A complete failure. D. A total imagination.
11. Why did the UNAM scientists start the “AdoptAxolotl” program
A. To let people clean up Mexican lakes.
B. To get money for scientists’ own projects.
C. To raise money to help axolotls live better.
D. To encourage people to take axolotls home.

A United Nations report warns that technology in classrooms may not help as much as many believe. The report suggests that technology should be used less in schools, and that smartphones should be banned (禁止) from classrooms.
The goal of the report was to improve how technology is used in education. The report says that technology can be helpful, but it shouldn’t be the focus. Instead, technology should be used to support learning.
UNESCO says that technology changes so fast that it’s hard to study how it really affects students. Many of the studies showing that technology helps students come from rich countries.
The report also points out that some of the studies in favor of technology come from companies that sell technology to schools. UNESCO agrees that technology can help in many ways. It can allow students to learn in ways that are more interesting; it can help teachers explain difficult ideas; it can also help students who have special needs. But UNESCO says technology can also be very distracting (使人分心的). When students use phones in class, it can disturb their learning. One study that was carried out in 14 countries showed that even just having a smartphone nearby can be distracting. Even so, UNESCO says that less than 25% of the world’s countries ban phones in schools.
“We need to teach children to live both with and without technology,” said John Smith, the director behind the UNESCO report. The report suggests that the best way to learn is still to work closely with teachers. Working with other classmates also helps students learn. UNESCO says that most schools should spend more money on things like books, classrooms, and teachers.
12. What’s the passage mainly about
A. Technology should be used less in schools.
B. UNESCO calls for a stop of using technology.
C. Schools should spend more money on education.
D. Smartphones can be very distracting for students
13. What does UNESCO say about the technology in paragraph 3
A. Schools support companies selling technology.
B. The technology is only good for rich countries.
C. The technology changes too fast to keep track of.
D. Teachers can not explain difficult ideas without technology.
14. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph
A. Smartphones are important for school lessons.
B. Most countries do not allow smartphones in class.
C. Keeping a smartphone close is not a distraction at all.
D. Smartphones might make it hard for students to focus.
15. What’s John Smith’s attitude to the technology in schools
A. Positive. B. Objective. C. Uninterested. D. Negative.

As time went by, David’s excellent learning ability and kind behavior made him popular with the students. Since David was good at science, his classmates would turn to him for help whenever they had problems with their studies. David was always glad to help them.
On Halloween, a variety of holiday activities were held on campus. Everyone wore costumes (化装服) they liked. David wore a mask (面具), and no one could tell it was him.

Scientists are worried about the future of the axolotl, an unusual Mexican salamander (蝾螈), and they’re asking for help. A new program lets people “adopt” an axolotl to raise money to support efforts to save the endangered animal.
The axolotl is a strange, but amazing animal, with a long body, short legs, and a long tail. Its body is covered with smooth, slimy skin. Axolotls are famous for their ability to cure themselves. If an axolotl loses a leg, or even part of its heart, brain, or lungs, it can regrow them. Scientists have long been interested in how the axolotl does this. Some people think the information could help solve some human medical problems.
Sadly, axolotls are in trouble. The number of axolotls in Mexico has dropped 99.5% in less than 20 years. There are a number of reasons for the drop in axolotls. One is that the water in the lakes has become more and more polluted. Another is that there are invasive (入侵的) fish in the lakes which are eating the axolotls’ food, and even their babies.
Scientists at Mexico’s National Autonomous University (UNAM) have been working for years to try to protect the axolotls. Last year, the UNAM scientists started a program they called “AdoptAxolotl”. They asked people to donate money to help pay for efforts to save the axolotls. The program was a big hit, and raised more than $26,000. The money was used to help clean up some of Mexican lakes and for a program to raise axolotls in a safe environment. Besides, people were encouraged to pay $30 to virtually (虚拟的) “adopt” one of the animals for a month or pay for food for an axolotl.
8. What do we know about the axolotls from paragraph 2
A. They can live without hearts or lungs.
B. They have short bodies and long legs.
C. They can solve some human problems.
D. They have the ability to cure themselves.
9. What has caused the drop of the axolotls’ population
A. Water pollution. B. Habitat loss. C. Invasive disease. D. Serious overfishing.
10. What do the underlined words “a big hit” most probably mean
A. A great success. B. A big mistake. C. A complete failure. D. A total imagination.
11. Why did the UNAM scientists start the “AdoptAxolotl” program
A. To let people clean up Mexican lakes.
B. To get money for scientists’ own projects.
C. To raise money to help axolotls live better.
D. To encourage people to take axolotls home.

A United Nations report warns that technology in classrooms may not help as much as many believe. The report suggests that technology should be used less in schools, and that smartphones should be banned (禁止) from classrooms.
The goal of the report was to improve how technology is used in education. The report says that technology can be helpful, but it shouldn’t be the focus. Instead, technology should be used to support learning.
UNESCO says that technology changes so fast that it’s hard to study how it really affects students. Many of the studies showing that technology helps students come from rich countries.
The report also points out that some of the studies in favor of technology come from companies that sell technology to schools. UNESCO agrees that technology can help in many ways. It can allow students to learn in ways that are more interesting; it can help teachers explain difficult ideas; it can also help students who have special needs. But UNESCO says technology can also be very distracting (使人分心的). When students use phones in class, it can disturb their learning. One study that was carried out in 14 countries showed that even just having a smartphone nearby can be distracting. Even so, UNESCO says that less than 25% of the world’s countries ban phones in schools.
“We need to teach children to live both with and without technology,” said John Smith, the director behind the UNESCO report. The report suggests that the best way to learn is still to work closely with teachers. Working with other classmates also helps students learn. UNESCO says that most schools should spend more money on things like books, classrooms, and teachers.
12. What’s the passage mainly about
A. Technology should be used less in schools.
B. UNESCO calls for a stop of using technology.
C. Schools should spend more money on education.
D. Smartphones can be very distracting for students
13. What does UNESCO say about the technology in paragraph 3
A. Schools support companies selling technology.
B. The technology is only good for rich countries.
C. The technology changes too fast to keep track of.
D. Teachers can not explain difficult ideas without technology.
14. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph
A. Smartphones are important for school lessons.
B Most countries do not allow smartphones in class.
C. Keeping a smartphone close is not a distraction at all.
D. Smartphones might make it hard for students to focus.
15. What’s John Smith’s attitude to the technology in schools
A. Positive. B. Objective. C. Uninterested. D. Negative.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文。中国书法是一种古老的汉字书写艺术，在今天仍然受到高度重视，因为它不仅仅是文字，它是一种文化和生活遗产。文章对其进行了详细介绍。
【36题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：中国书法是一种古老的汉字书写艺术，通常用毛笔和墨水在宣纸上书写。此处character意为“文字”，为可数名词，此处应用复数形式表示泛指。故填characters。
【37题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：中国书法的发展始于商代在动物骨头上发现的已知最古老的汉字。根据“known Chinese writing found on bones of animals from the Shang Dynasty”可知，此处是指知最古老的汉字，所以应用形容词最高级oldest表示“最古老的”。故填oldest。
38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：随着时间的推移，书法逐渐成为一种艺术形式，而不是一种记录手段。means意为“方式”，为可数名词，此处为第一次出现，所以应用不定冠词表示泛指。means的开头发音为辅音。故填a。

【41题详解】
考查一般现在时和主谓一致。句意：握笔的方式和写字的速度也很重要。主语“The way the brush is held and how fast the writer writes”为复数，根据前文“all affect how the writing looks”可知，此处应用一般现在时。故填are。
【42题详解】
考查一般现在时的被动语态。句意：每个字母如何形成以及它们如何排列在一起也关系到好的书法。动词arrange意为“安排”，和主语构成被动关系。根据“How each letter is formed”可知，此处应用一般现在时。主语they为复数。故填are arranged。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：人们还认为书法表达了作者的感情和思想，这就是为什么中国书法能打动这么多人的原因。在定语从句中不缺成分，且先行词为reason在定语从句中作状语，所以应用关系副词why。故填why。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：这种艺术在今天仍然受到高度重视，因为它不仅仅是文字，它是一种文化和生活遗产。此处作状语应用副词highly表示“高度地”。故填highly。

David was an 8-year-old boy living in Memphis with his family. When 4 years old, David got his face burnt by hot water, leaving scars (伤疤) on his cheeks. David was home-schooled by his mother, but as he grew older, his parents decided to send him to a private school. David was afraid of being made fun of, but his parents encouraged him to face everything bravely.
When he began school, other kids didn’t want to be his friends because of his scars. Luckily, a girl named Angel offered to sit with him and helped him go through that difficult time. They became good friends, chatting happily and sharing what they were interested in.
As time went by, David’s excellent learning ability and kind behavior made him popular with the students. Since David was good at science, his classmates would turn to him for help whenever they had problems with their studies. David was always glad to help them.
On Halloween, a variety of holiday activities were held on campus. Everyone wore costumes (化装服) they liked. David wore a mask (面具), and no one could tell it was him. Unrecognized, David was walking through the classroom backdoor when he overheard his classmate Tom’s comment, “David’s face is the ugliest one I have ever seen.” Hearing this, David felt upset and depressed. He ran away secretly. Angel happened to stand behind David and saw what happened, but it was too late to stop it. As David’s best friend at school, Angel thought David was a good boy who should be treated kindly.

【答案】After thinking for a while, Angel walked up to Tom. With a trembling voice, Angel told Tom his behavior was rude and did serious harm to David. However, Tom said that he was telling the truth. A wave of annoyance flooded over Angel. She reminded Tom how David helped him with his physics. “David is always helping us solve problems. We shouldn’t judge people by their appearance,” added Angel. Hearing Angel’s words, Tom remembered the scene where David helped him with his study patiently. Ashamed and guilty, he realized what he did was wrong.
Tom decided to say sorry to David. He went to David and apologized for his rude and wrong behavior sincerely. With his head down, tears welled up his eyes. David accepted Tom’s apology, and hugged him tightly. At that time, Angel and other classmates also came. They expressed their gratitude and appreciation to David, hoping David would help them like before. So moved and excited was David that tears rolled down on his cheeks. David nodded with delight. What is beauty The beauty of soul is the real beauty.
