Passage 2
Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo's students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks，” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts' classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands on experiments such as soil testing, flower and seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they're eating differently，” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program's benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo's special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside，” she says, “and they feel successful.”
4．What do we know about Abby Jaramillo
A．She used to be a health worker. B．She grew up in a low income family.
C．She owns a fast food restaurant. D．She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.

Passage 3
By CUI JIA|ChinaDaily|Updated：2022 02 12
Snowboarding pioneer Shaun White took his final bow at the bottom of the halfpipe (U型滑道) course at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games on Friday, officially marking the end of his long and storied career as a professional snowboarder. No matter how hard the 35 year old tried to hold back his emotions, it just got to be too much.
Although he wanted to do his best by performing two 1440s during his final run, he fell while attempting his second double cork 1440. Despite the fall, everyone cheered for the snowboarding legend at Genting Snow Park in Zhangjiakou as he stood back up and continued down the halfpipe.“Siding on my back, I was thinking, this isn't how I wanted it to go. You don't always get what you want, but I have to be thankful for everything I do have and what I have gotten in my career and that's why I'm very emotional. I can't believe it's over. It's wild，” said White, who finished in fourth place.
From a young age, snowboarding was what White wanted to do more than anything. At 19, White took part in his first Winter Olympics in Turin in 2006 and scored gold. The victory changed his life forever and he became the sport's global superstar.
Meanwhile, he continued to push his limits by landing the first double cork in halfpipe and inventing the double McTwist 1260. Those tricks brought him three Olympic gold medals, as well as injuries, including the brutal (残暴的) crash in 2018 when he slammed his head against the top of a superpipe, leading to 62 stitches (缝) in his face in the lead up to the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics.
“That I'm not competing doesn't mean I won't be here at the next Winter Olympics cheering on all my friends，” he said. “The future for me is so exciting. There is so much to do and so much to live for. This is just the beginning for me.”
8．What did White feel when he finished the competition

B．Emotional Goodbye
C．How to Be a Great Snowboarder
D．Snowboarding—the World's Most Dangerous Sport
Passage 4
More than a decade ago, the UK's Royal Society offered ￡ 1 million to the first person in the world to create a chemical free product. No one has yet claimed the money because it is impossible. Water is a chemical. So is your tea. Yet there is still so much confusion about everyday products, from cleaning sprays to cosmetics (化妆品). While some are labeled as chemical free, others declare they are non poisonous, natural and eco friendly.
To work out whether products contain harmful chemicals, which are harmful or dangerous to us or the planet, we need to look at the bigger picture of how something is produced and where it ends up after we have used it. Our homes are just a snapshot (照片) of a complex global supply chain. Your handbag may not be dangerous, but direct exposure to the chromium salts used in commercial leather factories can cause uncomfortable conditions in people involved in its production. And the chlorine bleach (漂白水) that gets washed down the toilet That is poisonous to animals relying on water.
Labels are so full of jargon (行业术语); however, identifying what is good and what isn't can feel impossible. A starting point is to not be tricked by marketing words. Even the term “sustainable” has no official definition, so for green credentials (环保资质) look for proof of claims in the form of certificates, such as Cradle to Cradle, which ensures the chemicals used are safe for people and the environment, and that they get reused in the production process.
Also be skeptical about labels focusing on what a product doesn't contain, such as “paraben free” or “no harmful substances”. Real transparency (透明度) is about making clear the things that are used to make products, not taking our attention away from them.
Therefore, until long term effects on people and the planet are investigated, we should choose brands that are fully transparent and call for clearer labeling from the rest.
12．Why does the author mention the UK's Royal Society
A．To explain a concept. B．To lead to a topic.
C．To provide a solution. D．To make a prediction.
13．What message does the author convey by mentioning “handbag” in Paragraph 2
A．The production process may be harmful to producers.
B．Daily items at home are dangerous to the planet.
C．Commercial leather factories reflect a complex global supply chain.
D．Health conditions of consumers are supposed to be attached importance to.
14．How can people make right judgments on labels
A.By relying on marketing words. B．By identifying product brands.
C．By focusing on product packaging. D．By checking on authorized certifications.
15．What's the author's attitude towards the labels of products
A．Favorable. B．Intolerant. C．Cautious. D．Unclear.
Passage 5
Hidden gardens in London
From nature reserves to community space, we've dug up some of London's most secret gardens, where you'll find pockets of splendid nature and forget about all your worries.
Queen's Wood
Across the road from the better known Highgate Wood, there is something more magical and quieter about Queen's Wood—its pathways through the mountain ash and cherry trees. It might be only a few hundred metres from Highgate tube station, but native bluebells and countless species of small animals make this a wonderful retreat.
Phoenix Garden
Behind Charing Cross Road this is a super spot for a comfortable lunchtime break. Look out for frogs and sparrows, which are thriving thanks to an enthusiastic conservation initiative. The garden closed last autumn for redevelopment work but has reopened in time to take advantage of a long spell of good weather.
Postman's Park
A short walk from St Paul's Cathedral lies one of London's most touching monuments. Within the quiet Postman's Park, nestled beneath a roof, are just over 50 ceramic plaques (匾牌), each honoring the memory of an ordinary person who lost his or her life trying to save others.
Red Cross Garden
Originally intended to give Southwark children a space to play, this Victorian garden has been restored to its original design, complete with ponds, cottages, bandstands and formal borders. While relaxing in the restored bandstand, it's hard to imagine the view back in 1887 when it was surrounded by workhouses and factories.
16．Which garden is close to a subway station
A．Queen's Wood. B．Phoenix Garden. C．Postman's Park. D．Red Cross Garden.
17．What can you do in Postman's Park

Passage 6
When Michael Ford was a kid, he dreamed of being a car designer. But when he was 11, things changed. That's when he went to a car design program and ended up learning about architecture instead.
“As a youngster, I was lucky enough to have some conversations with the people running that summer program，” he told TimeforKids. Talking with designers there stimulated Ford's interest in architecture. He went on to pursue it as a career.
Now Ford hopes to inspire the same interest in other young people. Last year, he launched his own architecture program for kids aged 10 to 17. But his program has an unexpected feature. Campers base their designs on hip hop lyrics. Ford's goal is to inspire a new generation of architects from underrepresented communities.“Only 4% of architects are African Americans，”he said.“Most of our buildings, most of our parks and public spaces, have all been designed by white males. If we can increase diversity, the entire world will now start to experience space from a totally new perspective.”
Ford calls his program the Hip Hop Architecture Camp. The one week camp is offered to students around the country. At the camp, students listen to and read the lyrics of hip hop songs. Then they use some of those lyrics to guide them in planning a city block. On graph paper, each square represents a word. Students build with Lego on each square based on the number of syllables (音节) in each word. In the end, they have what looks like a city skyline. Kids then use a design program called Tinkercad to transform their Lego models into 3D digital versions.
Ford believes this approach helps campers learn that architecture is about more than just construction. “The architect's Number 1 job is to serve people's needs，” he says.“Architecture plays a critical role in determining or challenging how people live in certain communities.”
19．What made Ford change his dream of being a car designer
A．Participation in a program. B．Lack of talent for car designing.
C．Desire for a more promising career. D．Conversations with architecture designers.
20．What is Ford's architecture program aimed at
A．Appealing to young people. B．Popularizing hip pop music.
C．Promoting diversity in the field. D．Connecting music with architecture.
21．If you hear “beautiful”， how many blocks would you use on the square
A．1. B．2. C．3. D．4.
22．What's Ford's opinion about architecture
A．It determines people's needs. B．It influences people's lifestyles.
C．It is just about building things. D．It is about adding more buildings.
Passage 7
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common eye condition in which you can see objects near to you clearly, but objects farther away are blurry. To see the farther things clearly, you have the option of wearing eyeglasses, or undergoing the more invasive refractive surgery.
But Japan's Kubota Pharmaceutical Holdings Co.Ltd. claims to have developed smart glasses that, if worn just an hour per day, can cure myopia. It projects an image onto the wearers' retina (视网膜) to correct the refractive error that causes nearsightedness. Obviously, wearing the device 60 to 90 minutes a day corrects myopia.
So how does the technology developed by the company work exactly Well, according to a company press release in December of last year, the special glasses rely on micro LEDs to project virtual images on the visual field to make the retina active. Apparently, it can do that without affecting the wearer's daily activities.
Founded by Dr. Ryo Kubota, Kubota Pharmaceutical Holdings Co. Ltd. is still testing the device, known as Kubota Glass, and trying to determine how long the effect lasts after the user wears the device, and how long the ugly looking glasses have to be worn for the correction to be permanent.
Kubota Pharmaceutical Holdings Co. Ltd. began testing the glasses in the summer of last year, and is currently conducting tests on about 25 people in the U．S. to assess the effectiveness of its smart glasses. The company plans to begin selling the device in Asia in the second half of next year where there are more nearsighted people, but it has planned to enter other markets in the future.
23．What does the underlined word “blurry” mean in the first paragraph
A．Familiar. B．Different. C．Impressive. D．Unclear.
24．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about
A．The effect of wearing the smart glasses.
B．The disadvantages of the smart glasses.
C．The working principle of the smart glasses.
D．The correct way of wearing the smart glasses.
25．Why does the company decide to sell the glasses first in Asia
A．It wants to serve the Asians better. B．These glasses are more suitable for Asians.
C．Scientific development is slower in Asia. D．There is more market demand in Asia.
26．What is the purpose of writing the text
A．To solve a problem. B．To introduce a new product.
C．To present a research result. D．To give practical advice.
Passage 8
Summer's here and it won't be long before school aged kids across America start complaining that they're tired of riding their bikes, playing at the park, swimming in the pool...and all the other awesome activities their parents hope would keep them entertained for the next 10 weeks.
Such rapid onset boredom could indicate that the kids have amazing powers of recall. A new study shows that the better your short term memory is, the faster you feel bored and decide you've had enough. The findings appear in the JournalofConsumerResearch.“Though boredom can be physical, like when you feel full after eating too much, we were interested in the psychological side of boredom, like when you're just tired of something.” Noelle Nelson, assistant professor of marketing and consumer behavior at the University of Kansas School of Business, and her colleague Joseph Redden at the University of Minnesota tried to think outside the lunch box.“Something that was interesting to me is that some people get tired of the same things at very different rates. So if you think about pop songs on the radio, some people must still be enjoying them and requesting them even after hearing them a lot. But a lot of other people are really sick of those same songs.” The difference might have to do with memories of past consumption. For example, studies show that people push away from the dinner table sooner when they're asked to describe in detail what they ate earlier for lunch.
The findings suggest that marketers could use our desire for their products by figuring out ways to distract (使分心) us and keep us from fully remembering our experiences. We could also trick ourselves into eating less junk food by immersing (使沉浸) ourselves in the memory of a previous snack. As for kids easily bored, just tell them to be fogged (混淆不清的) about it—it might help them have more fun.
27．What can be learned about the rapid onset boredom from the passage
A．It is a physical reaction after lunch.
B．It is more likely to happen to children.
C．It is closely related to short term memory.
D.It occurs physically first and then psychologically.
28．How may people take advantage of the findings
A.Help kids eat more by sharing their feelings about food.
B．Recall activities' details to improve kids' memorizing ability.
C．Talk less about previous snacks to reduce junk food consumption.
D.Keep consumers from remembering experiences to promote goods.
29．How does the author make the findings easy to understand
A．By making comparison. B．By analyzing data.
C．By describing processes. D．By giving examples.
30．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Good Memory Makes for Boredom B．How to Invent Interesting Activities
C．Boring Activities Do Harm to Kids' Memory D．Physical Boredom Affects Psychological Feelings
Passage 9
From the time I was a young girl,all I wanted was to play outside.I used the ferns (蕨类植物) in my childhood backyard to raise myself up muddy Pacific Northwest slopes (斜坡),sat by the edge of the property’s wooded stream and imagined it was a winding river.
Hours were spent on horseback,prepared with bags and snacks to ride the same path over and over,always dreaming up a new experience.As an adult,my interests are consistent,though the landscape has shifted.For the last four years,I have had the opportunity to explore our Earth’s most remote cold water locations as an underwater videographer and ocean-focused naturalist,developing an appreciation and understanding for challenging corners of the globe.Though my travels have taken me from Antarctica to the Arctic,it’s the temperate in-between that captivates me.During the last four years,Southeast Alaska,particularly the Inian Islands in its incredible wildness and productivity,has stolen my attention.My name is Alyssa Adler,I am the Inian Islands Institute’s 2019 Scientist in Residence and National Geographic grant recipient for project Tall Trees in Cold Seas.
The natural beauty of the Inians is pure,but the environment works for it.Massive rushing tides (潮水) flood the Hobbit Hole twice daily,like an angry river.Sometimes I learn some meaningful and useful lessons the hard way.Transportation of extensive dive equipment required the help of people in Ketchikan,Gustavus and other places.These lessons only allow my respect for this region to the full,teaching me how to be successful.I need to learn and understand the power and network of Southeast Alaska,both in the water and out.It’s all worth it to roll into the salty Pacific Ocean,turn on my cameras as I sink to the seafloor,and shine my lights on early spring in the Inian Islands.

Passage 10
As you walk around the UK in March,you might notice that some people are wearing a daffodil(水仙花) on their coats.The British wear these yellow flowers to show they support one of this country’s best-known charities:the Marie Curie Cancer Care.
The Marie Curie Cancer Care tries to ensure everyone diagnosed with cancer is cared for in the best possible way.It also helps fund research into possible cures through other organizations.Founded in 1948,it has been continuing with its goal ever since.
The charity was named after Marie Curie,a renowned scientist.She experimented with newly-discovered elements to create the theory of radioactivity.Unfortunately,over-exposure to the radioactive elements made her develop a disease and die in 1934.Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in two different fields.Because of her pioneering work which led to chemotherapy (化学疗法),the charity shared the name of Marie Curie.
The daffodil is one of the first plants to flower during spring in the UK,which marks the return of flowering plants to the ecosystem after winter.Because of this,the charity uses the daffodil as a metaphor for bringing life to other people through charitable giving.
Everyone you see wearing a daffodil has donated money to the charity,but each daffodil is worth only what you want to pay for it.The charity does ask that you stick to a minimum amount of ￡1.
The charity encourages people to start wearing their daffodils at the start of March,when the “Great Daffodil Appeal” kicks off.But that doesn’t mean you can only wear them in March.People are sometimes seen walking around with daffodils on their clothes all year round.
35.What does it mean when the British wear a daffodil on their coats
A.They support a charity.
B.They are recovering from cancer.
C.They’ve been helped by a charity.
D.They’ve been diagnosed with cancer.

C.Famous. D.Humorous.
37.Why was the charity named after Marie Curie
A.Because patients required that.
B.Because it was launched by her.
C.Because she greatly supported it.
D.Because it could show respect for her.
38.What can we learn about the daffodil from the text
A.It can be used as medicine.
B.It’s thought to stand for hope.
C.It’s widely worn worldwide.
D.It’s sold to the wearers at a high price.
Passage 11
Many studies have shown the learning-by-teaching effect.Students who spend time teaching what they’ve learned show better understanding and ability to remember knowledge than students who simply spend the same time re-studying.But why does teaching help
Researchers did a study to test their idea that teaching improves the teacher’s learning because it forces the teacher to find back what they’ve learned.They asked 124 students to spend ten minutes studying a text with numbers on a topic which is completely new to them.They told the students they could take notes while studying,but would teach the material afterwards without notes.After studying the text,the students were divided into four groups.In one group the students spent five minutes giving a lesson on the study material without notes.The other groups either spent the same time completing arithmetic(算术) problems,teaching with a script(讲稿) or writing down all they could remember from the text—a form of recalling practice.A week later,all the students took a surprise test of their knowledge and understanding of the text.
The important finding is that the teaching-without-notes group and the recalling-practice group performed better than the group that completed arithmetic problems and the group that taught with a script.
The researchers said the result shows that the benefits of the learning-by-teaching method are caused by recalling practice;that is,the learning-by-teaching method works only when the teaching includes recalling the taught materials.
The new findings have a practical suggestion for how the learning-by-teaching method is used in education.In order to make sure that students learn and remember an educational material,they should internalize(内化) the material before presenting it to others,rather than depend on notes during the presentation process.
39.Why does the author give a question in paragraph 1
A.To look for readers’ answer.
B.To introduce the topic.
C.To keep a sense of mystery.
D.To show off his knowledge.
40.What is paragraph 2 mainly about

D.What conclusion the researchers made.
41.What should be stressed in school education according to the author
A.Previewing-by-teaching.
B.Note-taking.
C.Learning-by-teaching.
D.Mind-mapping.
42.Where is the text probably from
A.A history textbook. B.A newspaper.
C.A guideline. D.A detective novel.

Passage 2
Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo's students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks，” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts' classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands on experiments such as soil testing, flower and seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they're eating differently，” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program's benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo's special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside，” she says, “and they feel successful.”
4．What do we know about Abby Jaramillo
A．She used to be a health worker. B．She grew up in a low income family.
C．She owns a fast food restaurant. D．She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.
5．What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program

Passage 3
By CUI JIA|ChinaDaily|Updated：2022 02 12
Snowboarding pioneer Shaun White took his final bow at the bottom of the halfpipe (U型滑道) course at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games on Friday, officially marking the end of his long and storied career as a professional snowboarder. No matter how hard the 35 year old tried to hold back his emotions, it just got to be too much.
Although he wanted to do his best by performing two 1440s during his final run, he fell while attempting his second double cork 1440. Despite the fall, everyone cheered for the snowboarding legend at Genting Snow Park in Zhangjiakou as he stood back up and continued down the halfpipe.“Siding on my back, I was thinking, this isn't how I wanted it to go. You don't always get what you want, but I have to be thankful for everything I do have and what I have gotten in my career and that's why I'm very emotional. I can't believe it's over. It's wild，” said White, who finished in fourth place.
From a young age, snowboarding was what White wanted to do more than anything. At 19, White took part in his first Winter Olympics in Turin in 2006 and scored gold. The victory changed his life forever and he became the sport's global superstar.
Meanwhile, he continued to push his limits by landing the first double cork in halfpipe and inventing the double McTwist 1260. Those tricks brought him three Olympic gold medals, as well as injuries, including the brutal (残暴的) crash in 2018 when he slammed his head against the top of a superpipe, leading to 62 stitches (缝) in his face in the lead up to the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics.
“That I'm not competing doesn't mean I won't be here at the next Winter Olympics cheering on all my friends，” he said. “The future for me is so exciting. There is so much to do and so much to live for. This is just the beginning for me.”
8．What did White feel when he finished the competition

Passage 4
More than a decade ago, the UK's Royal Society offered ￡ 1 million to the first person in the world to create a chemical free product. No one has yet claimed the money because it is impossible. Water is a chemical. So is your tea. Yet there is still so much confusion about everyday products, from cleaning sprays to cosmetics (化妆品). While some are labeled as chemical free, others declare they are non poisonous, natural and eco friendly.
To work out whether products contain harmful chemicals, which are harmful or dangerous to us or the planet, we need to look at the bigger picture of how something is produced and where it ends up after we have used it. Our homes are just a snapshot (照片) of a complex global supply chain. Your handbag may not be dangerous, but direct exposure to the chromium salts used in commercial leather factories can cause uncomfortable conditions in people involved in its production. And the chlorine bleach (漂白水) that gets washed down the toilet That is poisonous to animals relying on water.
Labels are so full of jargon (行业术语); however, identifying what is good and what isn't can feel impossible. A starting point is to not be tricked by marketing words. Even the term “sustainable” has no official definition, so for green credentials (环保资质) look for proof of claims in the form of certificates, such as Cradle to Cradle, which ensures the chemicals used are safe for people and the environment, and that they get reused in the production process.
Also be skeptical about labels focusing on what a product doesn't contain, such as “paraben free” or “no harmful substances”. Real transparency (透明度) is about making clear the things that are used to make products, not taking our attention away from them.
Therefore, until long term effects on people and the planet are investigated, we should choose brands that are fully transparent and call for clearer labeling from the rest.
12．Why does the author mention the UK's Royal Society
A．To explain a concept. B．To lead to a topic.
C．To provide a solution. D．To make a prediction.
13．What message does the author convey by mentioning “handbag” in Paragraph 2
A．The production process may be harmful to producers.
B．Daily items at home are dangerous to the planet.
C．Commercial leather factories reflect a complex global supply chain.
D．Health conditions of consumers are supposed to be attached importance to.
14．How can people make right judgments on labels
A.By relying on marketing words. B．By identifying product brands.
C．By focusing on product packaging. D．By checking on authorized certifications.
15．What's the author's attitude towards the labels of products
A．Favorable. B．Intolerant. C．Cautious. D．Unclear.
Passage 5
Hidden gardens in London
From nature reserves to community space, we've dug up some of London's most secret gardens, where you'll find pockets of splendid nature and forget about all your worries.
Queen's Wood
Across the road from the better known Highgate Wood, there is something more magical and quieter about Queen's Wood—its pathways through the mountain ash and cherry trees. It might be only a few hundred metres from Highgate tube station, but native bluebells and countless species of small animals make this a wonderful retreat.
Phoenix Garden
Behind Charing Cross Road this is a super spot for a comfortable lunchtime break. Look out for frogs and sparrows, which are thriving thanks to an enthusiastic conservation initiative. The garden closed last autumn for redevelopment work but has reopened in time to take advantage of a long spell of good weather.
Postman's Park
A short walk from St Paul's Cathedral lies one of London's most touching monuments. Within the quiet Postman's Park, nestled beneath a roof, are just over 50 ceramic plaques (匾牌), each honoring the memory of an ordinary person who lost his or her life trying to save others.
Red Cross Garden
Originally intended to give Southwark children a space to play, this Victorian garden has been restored to its original design, complete with ponds, cottages, bandstands and formal borders. While relaxing in the restored bandstand, it's hard to imagine the view back in 1887 when it was surrounded by workhouses and factories.
16．Which garden is close to a subway station
A．Queen's Wood. B．Phoenix Garden. C．Postman's Park. D．Red Cross Garden.
17．What can you do in Postman's Park

Passage 6
When Michael Ford was a kid, he dreamed of being a car designer. But when he was 11, things changed. That's when he went to a car design program and ended up learning about architecture instead.
“As a youngster, I was lucky enough to have some conversations with the people running that summer program，” he told TimeforKids. Talking with designers there stimulated Ford's interest in architecture. He went on to pursue it as a career.
Now Ford hopes to inspire the same interest in other young people. Last year, he launched his own architecture program for kids aged 10 to 17. But his program has an unexpected feature. Campers base their designs on hip hop lyrics. Ford's goal is to inspire a new generation of architects from underrepresented communities.“Only 4% of architects are African Americans，”he said.“Most of our buildings, most of our parks and public spaces, have all been designed by white males. If we can increase diversity, the entire world will now start to experience space from a totally new perspective.”
Ford calls his program the Hip Hop Architecture Camp. The one week camp is offered to students around the country. At the camp, students listen to and read the lyrics of hip hop songs. Then they use some of those lyrics to guide them in planning a city block. On graph paper, each square represents a word. Students build with Lego on each square based on the number of syllables (音节) in each word. In the end, they have what looks like a city skyline. Kids then use a design program called Tinkercad to transform their Lego models into 3D digital versions.
Ford believes this approach helps campers learn that architecture is about more than just construction. “The architect's Number 1 job is to serve people's needs，” he says.“Architecture plays a critical role in determining or challenging how people live in certain communities.”
19．What made Ford change his dream of being a car designer
A．Participation in a program. B．Lack of talent for car designing.
C．Desire for a more promising career. D．Conversations with architecture designers.
20．What is Ford's architecture program aimed at
A．Appealing to young people. B．Popularizing hip pop music.
C．Promoting diversity in the field. D．Connecting music with architecture.
21．If you hear “beautiful”， how many blocks would you use on the square
A．1. B．2. C．3. D．4.
22．What's Ford's opinion about architecture
A．It determines people's needs. B．It influences people's lifestyles.
C．It is just about building things. D．It is about adding more buildings.
Passage 7
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common eye condition in which you can see objects near to you clearly, but objects farther away are blurry. To see the farther things clearly, you have the option of wearing eyeglasses, or undergoing the more invasive refractive surgery.
But Japan's Kubota Pharmaceutical Holdings Co.Ltd. claims to have developed smart glasses that, if worn just an hour per day, can cure myopia. It projects an image onto the wearers' retina (视网膜) to correct the refractive error that causes nearsightedness. Obviously, wearing the device 60 to 90 minutes a day corrects myopia.
So how does the technology developed by the company work exactly Well, according to a company press release in December of last year, the special glasses rely on micro LEDs to project virtual images on the visual field to make the retina active. Apparently, it can do that without affecting the wearer's daily activities.
Founded by Dr. Ryo Kubota, Kubota Pharmaceutical Holdings Co. Ltd. is still testing the device, known as Kubota Glass, and trying to determine how long the effect lasts after the user wears the device, and how long the ugly looking glasses have to be worn for the correction to be permanent.
Kubota Pharmaceutical Holdings Co. Ltd. began testing the glasses in the summer of last year, and is currently conducting tests on about 25 people in the U．S. to assess the effectiveness of its smart glasses. The company plans to begin selling the device in Asia in the second half of next year where there are more nearsighted people, but it has planned to enter other markets in the future.
23．What does the underlined word “blurry” mean in the first paragraph
A．Familiar. B．Different. C．Impressive. D．Unclear.
24．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about
A．The effect of wearing the smart glasses.

C．Scientific development is slower in Asia. D．There is more market demand in Asia.
26．What is the purpose of writing the text
A．To solve a problem. B．To introduce a new product.
C．To present a research result. D．To give practical advice.
Passage 8
Summer's here and it won't be long before school aged kids across America start complaining that they're tired of riding their bikes, playing at the park, swimming in the pool...and all the other awesome activities their parents hope would keep them entertained for the next 10 weeks.
Such rapid onset boredom could indicate that the kids have amazing powers of recall. A new study shows that the better your short term memory is, the faster you feel bored and decide you've had enough. The findings appear in the JournalofConsumerResearch.“Though boredom can be physical, like when you feel full after eating too much, we were interested in the psychological side of boredom, like when you're just tired of something.” Noelle Nelson, assistant professor of marketing and consumer behavior at the University of Kansas School of Business, and her colleague Joseph Redden at the University of Minnesota tried to think outside the lunch box.“Something that was interesting to me is that some people get tired of the same things at very different rates. So if you think about pop songs on the radio, some people must still be enjoying them and requesting them even after hearing them a lot. But a lot of other people are really sick of those same songs.” The difference might have to do with memories of past consumption. For example, studies show that people push away from the dinner table sooner when they're asked to describe in detail what they ate earlier for lunch.
The findings suggest that marketers could use our desire for their products by figuring out ways to distract (使分心) us and keep us from fully remembering our experiences. We could also trick ourselves into eating less junk food by immersing (使沉浸) ourselves in the memory of a previous snack. As for kids easily bored, just tell them to be fogged (混淆不清的) about it—it might help them have more fun.
27．What can be learned about the rapid onset boredom from the passage
A．It is a physical reaction after lunch.
B．It is more likely to happen to children.
C．It is closely related to short term memory.
D.It occurs physically first and then psychologically.
28．How may people take advantage of the findings
A.Help kids eat more by sharing their feelings about food.
B．Recall activities' details to improve kids' memorizing ability.
C．Talk less about previous snacks to reduce junk food consumption.
D.Keep consumers from remembering experiences to promote goods.
29．How does the author make the findings easy to understand
A．By making comparison. B．By analyzing data.
C．By describing processes. D．By giving examples.
30．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Good Memory Makes for Boredom B．How to Invent Interesting Activities
C．Boring Activities Do Harm to Kids' Memory D．Physical Boredom Affects Psychological Feelings
Passage 9
From the time I was a young girl,all I wanted was to play outside.I used the ferns (蕨类植物) in my childhood backyard to raise myself up muddy Pacific Northwest slopes (斜坡),sat by the edge of the property’s wooded stream and imagined it was a winding river.
Hours were spent on horseback,prepared with bags and snacks to ride the same path over and over,always dreaming up a new experience.As an adult,my interests are consistent,though the landscape has shifted.For the last four years,I have had the opportunity to explore our Earth’s most remote cold water locations as an underwater videographer and ocean-focused naturalist,developing an appreciation and understanding for challenging corners of the globe.Though my travels have taken me from Antarctica to the Arctic,it’s the temperate in-between that captivates me.During the last four years,Southeast Alaska,particularly the Inian Islands in its incredible wildness and productivity,has stolen my attention.My name is Alyssa Adler,I am the Inian Islands Institute’s 2019 Scientist in Residence and National Geographic grant recipient for project Tall Trees in Cold Seas.
The natural beauty of the Inians is pure,but the environment works for it.Massive rushing tides (潮水) flood the Hobbit Hole twice daily,like an angry river.Sometimes I learn some meaningful and useful lessons the hard way.Transportation of extensive dive equipment required the help of people in Ketchikan,Gustavus and other places.These lessons only allow my respect for this region to the full,teaching me how to be successful.I need to learn and understand the power and network of Southeast Alaska,both in the water and out.It’s all worth it to roll into the salty Pacific Ocean,turn on my cameras as I sink to the seafloor,and shine my lights on early spring in the Inian Islands.

As you walk around the UK in March,you might notice that some people are wearing a daffodil(水仙花) on their coats.The British wear these yellow flowers to show they support one of this country’s best-known charities:the Marie Curie Cancer Care.
The Marie Curie Cancer Care tries to ensure everyone diagnosed with cancer is cared for in the best possible way.It also helps fund research into possible cures through other organizations.Founded in 1948,it has been continuing with its goal ever since.
The charity was named after Marie Curie,a renowned scientist.She experimented with newly-discovered elements to create the theory of radioactivity.Unfortunately,over-exposure to the radioactive elements made her develop a disease and die in 1934.Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in two different fields.Because of her pioneering work which led to chemotherapy (化学疗法),the charity shared the name of Marie Curie.
The daffodil is one of the first plants to flower during spring in the UK,which marks the return of flowering plants to the ecosystem after winter.Because of this,the charity uses the daffodil as a metaphor for bringing life to other people through charitable giving.
Everyone you see wearing a daffodil has donated money to the charity,but each daffodil is worth only what you want to pay for it.The charity does ask that you stick to a minimum amount of ￡1.
The charity encourages people to start wearing their daffodils at the start of March,when the “Great Daffodil Appeal” kicks off.But that doesn’t mean you can only wear them in March.People are sometimes seen walking around with daffodils on their clothes all year round.

Passage 11
Many studies have shown the learning-by-teaching effect.Students who spend time teaching what they’ve learned show better understanding and ability to remember knowledge than students who simply spend the same time re-studying.But why does teaching help
Researchers did a study to test their idea that teaching improves the teacher’s learning because it forces the teacher to find back what they’ve learned.They asked 124 students to spend ten minutes studying a text with numbers on a topic which is completely new to them.They told the students they could take notes while studying,but would teach the material afterwards without notes.After studying the text,the students were divided into four groups.In one group the students spent five minutes giving a lesson on the study material without notes.The other groups either spent the same time completing arithmetic(算术) problems,teaching with a script(讲稿) or writing down all they could remember from the text—a form of recalling practice.A week later,all the students took a surprise test of their knowledge and understanding of the text.
The important finding is that the teaching-without-notes group and the recalling-practice group performed better than the group that completed arithmetic problems and the group that taught with a script.
The researchers said the result shows that the benefits of the learning-by-teaching method are caused by recalling practice;that is,the learning-by-teaching method works only when the teaching includes recalling the taught materials.
The new findings have a practical suggestion for how the learning-by-teaching method is used in education.In order to make sure that students learn and remember an educational material,they should internalize(内化) the material before presenting it to others,rather than depend on notes during the presentation process.
