When Mike 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 TIME for Kids. 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 （未被充分代表的）communities. “Only 3% 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.”
24. What made Ford change his dream of being a car-designer
A. Desire for a more promising career.
B. Conversation with architecture designers.
C. Participation in a program.
D. Lack of talent for car-designing.
25. What is Ford’s architecture program aimed at
A. Promoting diversity in the field.
B. Connecting music with architecture.
C. Appealing to young people.
D. Popularizing hip-pop music.
26. If you heard ”beautiful“, how many blocks would you use on the square
A. 4. B. 3. C.2. D. 1.
27. What’s Ford’s opinion about architecture
A. It is just about building things. B. It is about adding more buildings.
C. It determines people’s needs. D. It influences people’s lifestyles.
C
“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Crystal says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
“Have a nice day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day!” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
28. How does the author understand Crystal’s words
A. Crystal encourages the author to stay happy.
B. Crystal really worries about the author’s security.
C. Crystal shows her anxiety to the author.
D. Crystal really wishes the author a good day.
29.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean
A. The salesgirl cares about me.
B. The salesgirl says the words as a routine.
C. The salesgirl is rude.
D. The salesgirl is bored.
30.According to the last paragraph, people say “Have a nice day” ________.
A. as a habit B. encouragingly C. sincerely D. as thanks
31.What is the best title for the text
A. Have a Nice Day--- a Heart-warming Greeting
B. Have a Nice Day--- a Polite Ending of a Conversation
C. Have a Nice Day--- a Social Custom
D. Have a Nice Day--- a Pleasant Habit
D
China will have the most 5G connections of any nation by 2025, according to a new study, while Europe will fall behind Korea, the United States and Japan in terms of 5G penetration (渗透) by that year.
5G is the fifth generation of network technology. It is expected to bring unbelievable speeds to Internet users, with some operations running 10 times faster than on 4G networks. 5G is also expected to unlock the potential in a lot of new services, including artificial intelligence, science of robots, self-driving cars, and the Internet of things.
The GSMA said that China’s three major mobile operators --- China Unicom, China Mobile, and China Telecom --- are already moving ahead with 5G networks. While most nations will have 5G by updating existing foundations, the study noted that China plans to build part of its 5G networks.
One of the most distinguishing(显著的)factors between Chinese mobile
operators and those in the rest of the world is the intention to erect the new and independent 5G networks. That is, China is determined to build a completely advanced 5G. The high cost underlines China’s seriousness about paying whatever it takes.
Korea will lead the world in terms of 5G penetration in 2025, when 66 percent of the nation’s total connections will be 5G, according to GSMA. This compares to 50 percent in the US, 49 percent in Japan, 36 percent in China, 30 percent in Europe, and a global average of 18 percent. Out of the five economies leading on 5G, Europe will have the lowest participation in 2025, as the area is moving more slowly in having its 5G networks.
32. What will 5G bring
A. Amazing speeds for public transportation.
B. Realizing the potential in many new services.
C. A completely new pattern for daily life.
D. Excellent networks and national safety.
33. What is the future of 5G in China
A. It will move forward slowly.
B. It may fall behind Europe.
C. It will develop rapidly.
D. It may lack government support.
34.Which of the following best explains “erect” underlined in paragraph 4
A. turn up. B. pick up. C. bring up. D. set up.
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Only five countries will have 5G in 2025.
B. Europe will pay little attention to 5G in 2025.
C. More than half Korean connections will be 5G in 2025.
D. Chinese won’t own 5G until 2025.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A few years ago, I felt like I was stuck in confusion. So I decide to follow in the footsteps of the great American “philosopher”, Morgan Spurlock, and try
something new for 30 days. The idea is actually pretty simple. Think about something you’ve always wanted to add to your life and try it for the next 30 days. It turns out, 36 --- like watching the news.
There are a few things I learned while doing these 30-day challenges. The first was as I started to do more and harder 30-day challenges, 37 . I went from a desk-dwelling computer nerd (书呆子) to the kind of guy who bikes to work. Even last year, I ended up hiking up Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. I would never have been that adventurous before I started my 30-day challenges.
38 . Have you ever wanted to write a novel Every November, tens of thousands of people try to write their own 50,000-word novel. It turns out that all you have to do is to write 1,667 words a day for a month. So I did. I learned that when I made small, sustainable changes, they were easier to stick. There’s nothing wrong with big, crazy challenges. 39 . But they are more difficult to stick.
So what are you waiting for 40 , so why not think about something you have always wanted to try and give it a shot for the next 30 days
A. I also figured out that if you really want something badly enough, you can do anything for 30 days
B. In fact, they’re a ton of fun
C. In fact, I think they’re not practical
D. I renewed myself while sticking to the challenge
E. I wanted to do something for the first time in my life
F. The next 30 days is going to pass whether you like it or not
G. 30 days is just about the right amount of time to add a new habit or get rid of a habit

One Possible Version:
To clone or not to clone: that is a question. This morning, our class had a heated debate on whether we should clone animals.
Those in favor of cloning think that cloning has many potential benefits. Dead pets could be brought back to life, and it’s a useful tool to help save endangered species, because it can increase genetic diversity. What’s more, whole organs could be produced in this way to replace damaged or diseased ones, leading to cures that would be impossible.
Those who are against cloning argue that cloning violates the natural rule of survival of the fittest and shows a lack of respect for the natural order.
Personally, we still need time to see its advantages and disadvantages before deciding how to deal with it.
