In a small tea shop located in Bisalpur, Uttar Pradesh, one can spot unique furniture like stools (凳子) and tables made of bricks and recycled plastic. Other than customers, tourists who come to visit the nearby Jawai Dam often stop by here to hand plastic waste over to the shopkeeper. Run by Kana Ram Mewada, the shop not only sells tea and snacks, but also leads a campaign to reduce the use of single-use plastic in the village.
According to a report of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) in 2019—2020, 3. 5million metric tons (公吨) of plastic waste is annually generated in India, and will remain in landfills (垃圾填埋场) for the upcoming hundreds of years.
Kana was deeply disturbed after reading that report on the Internet and began thinking about ways to raise the villagers’ awareness and make his village free of plastic.
He started a campaign by collecting plastic waste from his own shop and roadside. Whenever customers came, he explained the campaign. In order to attract more people, he started giving something in return for the waste they brought. Sometimes, he purchased a few things made of recycled waste to show the villagers and told them they were created from their plastic waste contribution. He also made decorative items out of the waste and placed them around the shop.
As a result, people from the village became curious about his campaign. Even tourists began participating in the exchange. And today, the forest, rivers and public spaces that were once filled with plastic waste are cleaner than before.
He hopes that he can also help the neighboring villages recycle plastic waste and make the whole area plastic-free. “When an ordinary person like me decided to start a cause, it was inspiring that a whole village stood by me and supported me. We can all become torchbearers (启蒙者) for a better tomorrow. What we have to do is take a step forward,” he said.
4．What led Kana to start the campaign
A．An online report. B．Tourists’ behavior.
C．Customers’ advice. D．His visit to landfills.
5．Why did Kana place plastic decorations around his shop
A．To get more people to join his campaign. B．To teach shoppers how to make them.
C．To make his shop much more beautiful. D．To advertise the goods in his shop.
6．Which of the following can best describe Kana
A．Considerate and proud. B．Ambitious and generous.
C．Responsible and creative. D．Determined and humorous.
7．What is the text mainly about
A．A shopkeeper’s path to success. B．A historic tourist spot in Bisalpur.
C．A unique way of turning waste into art. D．A shopkeeper’s campaign for plastic recycling.

Aarav Anil, the 17-year-old student With a passion for robotics from Bengraluro, invented a smart spoon that can help people with Parkinson’s disease eat with dignity.
Aarrav’s interest in creating a smart spoon came from seeing his uncle Arjun who has Parkinson’s disease struggling to feed himself. This disease affects the brain and leads to involuntary shaking. Hence, food kept spilling out of his mouth and onto his clothing.Aarrav wanted his uncle to be able to eat by himself with dignity.
Aarrav took to his room with microcontrollers, motors,sensors and a 3-D printer. Not everything went smoothly.“It was frustrating not being able to find the tiny electronics parts I needed here in India. I had to order some from China.but they took ages to arrive.”Aarrav said.Through tireless efforts. Aarrav made a first model but the handle was too slippery for his uncle to use so he had to change it.Then the prototype (维形) went to be tested at the RV College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru.
“I’ve been fine tuning the design based on the college’s feedback — that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; and that it must be detachable (可拆卸的) so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork.” Aarrav said. The trials being conducted at the college are expected to be completed by early 2024 and the results will be published in a medical journal.
Aarrav hopes that his smart spoon will begin to be manufactured on a small scale when the testing is complete.While other smart spoons already exist and two US companies are already producing their own versions,the cost is too high for most Indians. Aarrav’s version is estimated to cost around 580). His hope is that everyone with Parkinson’s disease will have access to a smart spoon.
8．What can Aarav’s invention help people with Parkinson’s disease do
A．Maintain their physical balance.
B．Boost their mood and relieve stress.
C．Feed themselves much more easily.
D．Rid them of uncontrollable shaking.
9．What is emphasized about the invention of the smart spoon in Paragraph 3
A．Its popularity. B．Its challenges. C．Its functions. D．Its application.
10．Which can best replace the underlined word “tuning” in Paragraph 4
A．Adjusting. B．Publicizing C．Outlining. D．Simplifying
11．Which of the following best describes Aarrav
A．Industrious and sociable. B．Intelligent and humble
C．Sensitive and conservative. D．Ambitious and caring.

After two years of pandemic living, people are collectively ready for a vacation. No matter how much we might like to, though, it’s not always possible to take a vacation from COVID-19. The virus is still circulating widely, including in popular tourist destinations like the U.K., Germany, France, and Italy. That means getting sick while traveling is a real possibility — and one that can turn into an expensive and stressful logistical headache.
What happens if you get COVID-19 while traveling internationally To enter the U.S., international travelers currently need either a negative COVID-19 test result obtained within one day of their flight or proof that they have recovered from COVID-19 in the last 90 days. (This policy applies to both U.S .citizens and non-citizens, but children younger than 2 are exempt.) Without one of those documents, you cannot board a U.S.-bound flight. If you test positive, you should isolate and delay travel for 10 days, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
But where do you stay if you need to quarantine (隔离) abroad And who pays for extended accommodations and rescheduled flights Specifics vary from country to country, but the short answer is that travelers are often on the hook. Exceptions to the test-to-return policy may be granted on an “extremely limited” basis, such as in the event of an emergency medical evacuation or humanitarian crisis, the CDC says-but the average vacationer won’t have many options beyond paying to extend their stay.
A spokesperson for the State Department Jeanna Smialek said travelers who must isolate should contact their hotels and airlines to arrange accommodations and re-book travel, and, if necessary, seek assistance from their nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. The spokesperson added that U.S. citizens traveling abroad are subject to local quarantine rules, which may differ from those of the U.S. CDC．
12．What do you need to enter the US if you get COVID-19 while traveling internationally
A．A negative COVID-19 test result．
B．A certificate of health recovery in the last 90 days．
C．Two weeks’ travel delay．
D．Extended accommodations and rescheduled flights．
13．What does the underlined phrase “on the hook” in paragraph 3 refer to
A．Should pay the money． B．Be pleasant to stay longer．
C．Have no choice but to obey the rule． D．Be not satisfied with the policy．
14．According to Jeanna Smialek, which one is not true
A．Accommodations should be booked by travelers themselves．
B．American consulate is accessible to isolated travelers．
C．Travelers who must isolate have certain restrictions．
D．Travelers should obey both local and American quarantine rules．
15．What’s the passage mainly about
A．How to isolate during the COVID-19．
B．What international travelers should do after test positive．
C．COVID-19 isolation spreads in popular tour destinations．
D．Isolation policies are different among countries．

Last Thursday, my husband Robin and I invited some of our friends for dinner.
Just before I left work, Robin called me and said that he had to stay late at work, which meant that I had to prepare everything for the night on my own. Realizng that I didn’t have too much time, I could feel my anger rising as I drove to pick up Jason and Michael from school. After they got into the car, I informed them that we would stop on the halfway to buy something, and that they needed to help me tidy the house when we got home.
Both of the boys started complaining. I warned them that I was not in the mood to listen. They crossed their arms and became angry. For the next hour, I dragged them from one place to the next. The more I needed them to hurry, the more distracted (分心的) and silly they became. My patience was wearing thin.
Just as we finished our last task, the boys reminded me that we needed to stop at the pet store to pick up crickets (蟋蟀) for their pet lizards (蜥蜴).“You promised that you would buy crickets for us, and you shouldn’t break your promise,” Jason said. “Fine! But we need to be fast,”I replied impatiently, and then we raced to the pet shop.
Fifteen minutes later, we were back in the car with some new passengers: one hundred live crickets in a plastic bag. I pulled the car into the driveway and there was only forty-five minutes left to unpack the car, clean the house, and set the table before my guests arrived. How would I make it
After returning home, I started barking out orders, but the boys were pouring the crickets from the plastic bag into the box that they prepared and they obviously ignored my orders.
My anger swept over me, and I shouted at them to hurry up, but they didn’t listen.

All the way we were singing inspiring songs while enjoying the fresh air and the beautiful scenery. Although some fell behind on the way, they kept going until they reached the destination.

The moment I turned round, I found crickets were jumping all over my kitchen. I screamed and jumped up onto a chair to get away from them. I could feel that I was about to start yelling in a way I had rarely done. Then, I realized that I had two choices: I could continue feeling angry, or I could let go. My two sweet boys were running around and screaming with laughter. Watching them capture the crickets, I felt as if time had slowed down, and I saw the situation clearly for the first time. How sweet their smile was!
Finally, I jumped off the chair and started catching crickets with my boys. It took us about fifteen minutes to get all the crickets into their box. Then my boys enthusiastically volunteered to help me prepare the dinner. With joint efforts, we made it in time and had an amazing dinner party. The experience that night is a constant reminder to me that I should never let anger keep me from enjoying life. When things go wrong, I tell myself that everything will be okay, because we do have the power to decide how we’re going to react to them.

Hence, food kept spilling out of his mouth and onto his clothing.Aarrav wanted his uncle to be able to eat by himself with dignity.
Aarrav took to his room with microcontrollers, motors,sensors and a 3-D printer. Not everything went smoothly.“It was frustrating not being able to find the tiny electronics parts I needed here in India. I had to order some from China.but they took ages to arrive.”Aarrav said.Through tireless efforts. Aarrav made a first model but the handle was too slippery for his uncle to use so he had to change it.Then the prototype (维形) went to be tested at the RV College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru.
“I’ve been fine tuning the design based on the college’s feedback — that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; and that it must be detachable (可拆卸的) so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork.” Aarrav said. The trials being conducted at the college are expected to be completed by early 2024 and the results will be published in a medical journal.
Aarrav hopes that his smart spoon will begin to be manufactured on a small scale when the testing is complete.While other smart spoons already exist and two US companies are already producing their own versions,the cost is too high for most Indians. Aarrav’s version is estimated to cost around 580). His hope is that everyone with Parkinson’s disease will have access to a smart spoon.

After two years of pandemic living, people are collectively ready for a vacation. No matter how much we might like to, though, it’s not always possible to take a vacation from COVID-19. The virus is still circulating widely, including in popular tourist destinations like the U.K., Germany, France, and Italy. That means getting sick while traveling is a real possibility — and one that can turn into an expensive and stressful logistical headache.
What happens if you get COVID-19 while traveling internationally To enter the U.S., international travelers currently need either a negative COVID-19 test result obtained within one day of their flight or proof that they have recovered from COVID-19 in the last 90 days. (This policy applies to both U.S .citizens and non-citizens, but children younger than 2 are exempt.) Without one of those documents, you cannot board a U.S.-bound flight. If you test positive, you should isolate and delay travel for 10 days, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
But where do you stay if you need to quarantine (隔离) abroad And who pays for extended accommodations and rescheduled flights Specifics vary from country to country, but the short answer is that travelers are often on the hook. Exceptions to the test-to-return policy may be granted on an “extremely limited” basis, such as in the event of an emergency medical evacuation or humanitarian crisis, the CDC says-but the average vacationer won’t have many options beyond paying to extend their stay.
A spokesperson for the State Department Jeanna Smialek said travelers who must isolate should contact their hotels and airlines to arrange accommodations and re-book travel, and, if necessary, seek assistance from their nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. The spokesperson added that U.S. citizens traveling abroad are subject to local quarantine rules, which may differ from those of the U.S. CDC．
12．What do you need to enter the US if you get COVID-19 while traveling internationally
A．A negative COVID-19 test result．
B．A certificate of health recovery in the last 90 days．
C．Two weeks’ travel delay．
D．Extended accommodations and rescheduled flights．
13．What does the underlined phrase “on the hook” in paragraph 3 refer to
A．Should pay the money． B．Be pleasant to stay longer．
C．Have no choice but to obey the rule． D．Be not satisfied with the policy．
14．According to Jeanna Smialek, which one is not true
A．Accommodations should be booked by travelers themselves．
B．American consulate is accessible to isolated travelers．
C．Travelers who must isolate have certain restrictions．
D．Travelers should obey both local and American quarantine rules．
15．What’s the passage mainly about
A．How to isolate during the COVID-19．
B．What international travelers should do after test positive．
C．COVID-19 isolation spreads in popular tour destinations．
D．Isolation policies are different among countries．

Last Thursday, my husband Robin and I invited some of our friends for dinner.
Just before I left work, Robin called me and said that he had to stay late at work, which meant that I had to prepare everything for the night on my own. Realizng that I didn’t have too much time, I could feel my anger rising as I drove to pick up Jason and Michael from school. After they got into the car, I informed them that we would stop on the halfway to buy something, and that they needed to help me tidy the house when we got home.
Both of the boys started complaining. I warned them that I was not in the mood to listen. They crossed their arms and became angry. For the next hour, I dragged them from one place to the next. The more I needed them to hurry, the more distracted (分心的) and silly they became. My patience was wearing thin.
Just as we finished our last task, the boys reminded me that we needed to stop at the pet store to pick up crickets (蟋蟀) for their pet lizards (蜥蜴).“You promised that you would buy crickets for us, and you shouldn’t break your promise,” Jason said. “Fine! But we need to be fast,”I replied impatiently, and then we raced to the pet shop.
Fifteen minutes later, we were back in the car with some new passengers: one hundred live crickets in a plastic bag. I pulled the car into the driveway and there was only forty-five minutes left to unpack the car, clean the house, and set the table before my guests arrived. How would I make it
After returning home, I started barking out orders, but the boys were pouring the crickets from the plastic bag into the box that they prepared and they obviously ignored my orders.
My anger swept over me, and I shouted at them to hurry up, but they didn’t listen.
