During the event, participants will receive route information for the day each morning through the OnX Offroad App.

Isatou Ceesay was born in 1972 in a small village in Gambia Africa. As a teenager, Ceesay was forced to drop out of school because of poverty. She carried some goods with many girls like her to sell in the market to raise herself. At that time, the plastic bags, being strong and light, became popular in Gambia. The problem was that people did not reuse the bags and simply threw them behind their homes. Over time, the houses were surrounded by trash.
Ceesay lived in such an environment for many years. She kept learning from the surrounding environment and planned to take action to change. In 1997 she started a recycling movement called One Plastic Bag in Gambia. She educated women in Gambia to recycle plastic waste into income for themselves. In the beginning, the movement had a mission to educate their village colleagues about the need to reuse garbage and recycle plastic waste, rather than letting the garbage increase behind their homes.
Over time, the movement became big and able to support and provide income for women around. It was also able to greatly reduce plastic waste in Gambia. But the work of collecting trash turned to be taxing. During the rainy season, plastic waste became wet and difficult to take, and after that it still took patience to dry it before it could be processed.
Ceesay said, “As a habit, people are used to pouring their garbage behind their houses, and because it is not visible, they forget it. But the bad effects again knock on your door very quickly-dirty air, various diseases and so on. Of course, if one man’s house is clean but his neighbor’s is not, then the man is also not healthy.”
For 17 years, Ceesay has contributed to one of the most important problems about the plastic waste. In 2012, she got the TIAW Difference Maker Award in Washington, D.C., United States. Her story was written into a book, which inspires many others to join or become makers of change in their own communities.
4. What can be learned about young Ceesay from Paragraph 1
A She gave up the chance of going to school.
B. She had many friends good at doing business.
C. She sold strong and light plastic bags to support herself
D. She lived in an environment heavily polluted by plastic waste.
5. What can we infer about Ceesay’s recycling movement
A. It aimed to make full use of natural resources to get rich.
B. It was hard to carry on because of the shortage of workers.
C. It benefited both people’s economic situation and the environment.
D. It taught the villagers to replace plastic bags with handmade ones.
6. What does the underlined word “taxing” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Challenging. B. Pleasant. C. Dangerous. D. Successful.
7. What does Ceesay mainly intend to say in Paragraph 4
A. Bad habits are hard to remove once formed.
B. Garbage problems contribute greatly to climate change.
C. Valuing the relationship between neighbors is important.
D. Dealing with plastic waste is a shared responsibility in communities.

Tired of your quiet day-to-day life How about leaving your computer games behind and taking up an extreme sport
You can ride a bicycle, right In that case you’re halfway to becoming a mountain biker. All you have to do is take your bike off the road and try some hilly areas. Mountain biking was developed in California in the 1970s and became an Olympic sport in 1996.
Not challenging enough Skydivers jump from planes at a height of 1,000 to 4,000 meters. You have to be fit but there’s no age limit with this sport. For example, Dilys Price from Cardiff went on her first jump aged 54. The minute she came down, she wanted to go up again. She said: “It was so attractive”.
Some adventures have invented base jumping, in which people jump from tall structures, such as buildings or bridges, with a parachute. Many of their jumps aren’t legal, especially in the cities.Dan Witchalls has jumped off The Shard —London’s 310 meter-high building four times.He says, “Base jumping is scarier than jumping out of a plane. In a plane there is no sense of height, but when you are standing on the edge of the building you can see people and cars, the experience makes it very real.”
It seems there’s no shortage of imagination when it comes to risking life to look cool and get the heart beating wildly. Surfing, diving, rock climbing ...And how about extreme ironing That is, pressing your clothes on top of a mountain! Extreme ironing is said to have been created in the 1990s in England by a man who saw a large amount of wrinkled clothes and felt bored when doing the cloth ironing. That man was Phil Shaw. For him, the excitement of this sport comes from looking at the viewers’ faces. Shaw says, “Sometimes they look confused; sometimes they laugh. It’s fun to see how people react to it.”
8. What does the author think about mountain biking
A. A bit boring. B. Challenging indeed.
C. Great fun. D. Not very hard.
9. What does the author want to show with the example in paragraph 3
A Skydivers have to be very healthy. B. Skydiving is not challenging enough.
C. Elderly people can also take up skydiving. D. People can easily become crazy about skydiving.
10. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The sense of height. B. Base jumping experience.
C. The edge of the building. D. Jumping out of a plane.
11. Why did Phil Shaw invent extreme ironing
A. He liked ironing clothes. B. He wanted to make clothes ironing more fun.
C. He enjoyed different looks on people's faces. D. He had a good view standing on top of a mountain.
D
Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways.When people cheat,it’s not fair to other people，like the kids who studied for the test or who the true winners of a game were.
Many people like the action of cheating.In their opinion,it makes difficult things seem easy,like getting all the right answers on the test.But it doesn't solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won't help on the next test—unless the person cheats again.
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them.The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they shouldn't get that good grade.And,if they get caught cheating,they will be in trouble at school，and maybe at home,too.
Some kids cheat because they're busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying.Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating.Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating,cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before the day and couldn’t study,it would be better to talk with the teacher about this.And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice,you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together.Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.
12. What does the author think when kids cheat in class
A. It is unfair to other people.
B. It does harm to their health.
C. Teachers should punish them.
D. Teachers shouldn't stop them at once.
13. Why do many people like to cheat
A. Because they think the material in the test is very difficult.
B. Because they want to do better than the others.
C. Because cheating can make hard things seem very easy.
D. Because they have little time to study their lessons.
14. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us
A. Some kids can’t pass the test without cheating.
B. Why kids cheat in the test.
C. Cheating isn’t a good idea.
D Some kids don't spend the time studying.
15. What can we learn from the passage
A. Cheaters are often thought highly of.
B. People show no respect for those who cheat.
C. Parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble.
D. Kids cheat in the test because of swim practice.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述Isatou Ceesay受到自己生活环境的启发，组织One Plastic Bag活动，号召社区居民处理并回收利用塑料口袋，这既能帮助当地人增加收入同时对环境也有益。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“At that time, the plastic bags, being strong and light, became popular in Gambia. The problem was that people did not reuse the bags and simply threw them behind their homes. Over time, the houses were surrounded by trash.(当时，塑料袋结实轻便，在冈比亚流行起来。问题是人们没有重复使用塑料袋，而是直接把它们扔到房子后面。久而久之，房子被垃圾包围了)”可知， Ceesay年轻时生活在一个被废弃塑料袋严重污染的环境。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Over time, the movement became big and able to support and provide income for women around. It was also able to greatly reduce plastic waste in Gambia. (随着时间的推移，这场运动变得越来越大，能够支持并为周围的女性提供收入。它还能够大大减少冈比亚的塑料垃圾)”推知，Ceesay回收运动既能帮助当地人增加收入同时对环境也有益。故选C。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“During the rainy season, plastic waste became wet and difficult to take, and after that it still took patience to dry it before it could be processed.(在雨季，塑料垃圾变得潮湿，难以拿起，在那之后，它仍然需要耐心晾干才能进行处理)”可知，收集垃圾的工作变得困难了。由此猜测划线词意为“困难的”，与challenging意思相近。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Of course, if one man’s house is clean but his neighbor’s is not, then the man is also not healthy.(当然，如果一个人的房子干净，而他的邻居的房子不干净，那么这个人也不健康)”推知，Ceesay认为处理塑料垃圾是社区居民共同的责任。故选D。

Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways.When people cheat,it’s not fair to other people，like the kids who studied for the test or who the true winners of a game were.
Many people like the action of cheating.In their opinion,it makes difficult things seem easy,like getting all the right answers on the test.But it doesn't solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won't help on the next test—unless the person cheats again.
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them.The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they shouldn't get that good grade.And,if they get caught cheating,they will be in trouble at school，and maybe at home,too.
Some kids cheat because they're busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying.Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating.Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating,cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before the day and couldn’t study,it would be better to talk with the teacher about this.And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice,you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together.Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.
12. What does the author think when kids cheat in class
A. It is unfair to other people.
B. It does harm to their health.
C. Teachers should punish them.
D. Teachers shouldn't stop them at once.
13. Why do many people like to cheat
A. Because they think the material in the test is very difficult.
B. Because they want to do better than the others.
C. Because cheating can make hard things seem very easy.
D. Because they have little time to study their lessons.
14. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us
A. Some kids can’t pass the test without cheating.
B. Why kids cheat in the test.
C. Cheating isn’t a good idea.
D. Some kids don't spend the time studying.
15. What can we learn from the passage

B. People show no respect for those who cheat.
C. Parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble.
D. Kids cheat in the test because of swim practice.

【答案】Dear Liu Ming,
As you mentioned, you fail to pronounce English words, understand the grammar and are weak in listening and speaking. I know it’s difficult to grasp English well, but you should have confidence in yourself.
When it comes to vocabulary, you are advised to read after the recording. Once you acquire the pronunciation well, it’s easy to remember the spelling of the word. Besides, listen to the teacher carefully in class and turn to him or reference book for grammar explanation. At last, get exposed to lots of reading and listening materials so as to be sunk in language atmosphere. Be brave to speak as often as possible, which contributes to your speaking.
Hope my advice is worth taking and you will finally get over the difficulty.
Yours,
Li Hua
