In a quiet corner of Montreal, Canada, 72-year-old Elaine McBride has spent the past decade breathing new life into abandoned books. Her small basement workshop, lined with shelves of torn classics and water-stained novels, is a haven for literature that others regarded beyond repair. “Every book has a story worth preserving,” she says, her fingers brushing the worn cover of a 1940s edition of Pride and Prejudice.
McBride’s mission began accidentally. After retiring from her job as a librarian, she came across a pile of damaged books destined for landfill. Horrified by the waste, she taught herself bookbinding and restoration techniques through online tutorials and old craft manuals. “I started with glue and patience,” she laughs. Now, her tools include specialized paperweights, acid-free adhesives, and a vintage press passed down from her grandfather.
Over the years, McBride has restored over 2,000 books, donating most to community centers, schools, and prisons. One of her most memorable projects was reviving a fire-damaged copy of The Little Prince for a local children’s hospital. “The child who received it traced the charred (烧焦的) pages and said, ‘Now it’s like me — burned but still loved,’” she recalls. Her work has also inspired a group of teenagers from a nearby high school to join her, learning the art of restoration while listening to her stories of literary history.
McBride’s efforts highlight a quiet revolution in a digital age: the belief that physical books hold irreplaceable value. “In a world of screens, these pages are tangible memories,” she says. Though her hands now ache after long hours, she shows no sign of slowing down. “Each book I save is a promise that stories outlive their shelves.”
4. What inspired Elaine McBride to start restoring books
A. A desire to teach others craft skills. B. The sight of books being thrown away.
C. Her grandpa’s old bookbinding tools. D. A childhood love for classic literature.
5. Why does the author mention the fire damaged The Little Prince
A. To illustrate McBride’s technical skills.
B. To stress the emotional impact of her work.
C. To compare different restoration challenges.
D. To show the popularity of children’s books.
6. What can be inferred from the words of McBride in paragraph 4
A. Stories need new bookshelves to stay popular.
B. Damaged books can hardly carry any stories.
C. McBride promises to keep worn books restored.
D. Physical books can go beyond the physical form.
7. Which words best describe Elaine McBride
A. Brave and responsible. B. Selfish and greedy.
C. Patient and generous. D. Ambitious and decisive.
C
An IT company from Finland has developed a new font(字体)which uses machine learning to rewrite bad language into kinder words.
More than a third of bullying(欺凌) takes place online, and the numbers are on the rise, according to a report by the United Nations’ educational organization UNESCO. TietoEVRY developed the Polite Type font as a new tool to deal with online bullying among kids, pointing out harmful language and causing users to pick kinder words.
As users try to write hurtful English words, the font will automatically replaca them.
Writing “I hate you” would, for example, result in the milder “I disagree with you” when Polite Type is used on the computer. Sentences such as “you are ugly” is replaced with “you are not traditionally beautiful” while rude words are blurred(使模糊)completely. The company says it is the first example where a blur has been used as a symbol in a font package. Racial slurs(种族歧视语)are replaced with the racial group the slur is related to, rather than blurring the word entirely.
The vocabulary of the font was co-created with teenagers from Finland. The font’s library of words was chosen to include language from different origins, religions, and world views, and will make adjustments as more people and businesses use it. In the future, TietoEVRY suggests that machine learning could be used to teach the font to understand how language is used. Polite Type can be now downloaded and used for free.
“We want bullies to rethink the words they use and the actual meaning behind them,” said Kia Haring, global head of communication and sustainability at TietoEVRY. “I hope that our cause acts as a wake-up call for all audiences to consider how bullying could be handled.”
8. What is special about the Polite Type font according to the text
A. It includes a wider vocabulary.
B. It consists of words and symbols.
C. It hides all the unusual expressions.
D. It prefers long sentences to short ones.
9. What can we expect of the Polite Type font in the Future
A. It will have more words blurred.
B. More racial groups will use it.
C. It will be constantly updated.
D. Users will be charged with using it.
10. What does Kia Haring think of creating the Polite Type font
A. Imperfect.
B. Unsuccessful.
C. appealing.
D. Inspiring.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Polite Type: the self-developing font
B. A font automatically avoids racial slurs
C. Show others kindness by using a new font
D. A font designed to fight online bullying
D
A fairy penguin, also known as a little penguin, lives on the coastal areas of southern Australia and New Zealand. Fairy penguins are important to the ecosystem because they eat fish, which benefits the ocean’s food chain balance. They also help fertilize (施肥) the land with their waste, which helps plants grow. But pollution causes a threat to them. Plastic waste in the ocean can harm the penguins by getting caught around their necks or in their stomachs, leading to injury or death.
Plastic pollution is a growing problem in our oceans, and it is having a serious impact on the health of sea life, including penguins. The digestion of plastic waste can lead to hunger and other health problems. Studies have found that penguins have digested plastic waste such as bottle caps and fishing lines. Plastic debris (碎片) can be easily mistaken for food by penguins, as it is similar to their food in size, shape and color. Once eaten, the plastic remains in their stomachs, causing blockages, which can impact the penguins’ overall health.
Plastic waste can also affect the behavior of fairy penguins. Studies have shown that plastic pollution can have an effect on the normal behavior of penguins, leading to decreased food intake and reduced reproductive success. The digestion of plastic waste has also been found to cause stress in penguins, leading to changes in behavior and a decreased ability to cope with other stress.
To deal with the issue of plastic pollution, conservation (保护) work has been done to protect the penguins. These efforts include protecting their habitats, reducing pollution, cleaning the beach and educating people about how they can help. Scientists are also working to better understand the impacts of climate change so they can develop more effective ways. Some efforts have already had success, such as reducing oil pollution and protecting breeding sites. However, these are far from enough. We must take early action to reduce pollution and address climate change, not just for the penguins, but for all sea lives.
12. Which statement about fairy penguins will the author probably disagree with
A. They help plants grow. B. They are endangered animals.
C. They keep the ocean’s food balance. D. They might get injured by plastic waste.
13. Why are penguins easily likely to mistake plastic debris for food
A. Plastic debris looks like their food in size, shape and color.
B. Plastic debris releases a smell similar to their daily food.
C. Penguins have poor eyesight to distinguish plastic from food.
D. Penguins are often very hungry and eat anything they find.
14. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2 and 3
A. The efforts made to protect penguins.
B. The ways to solve plastic pollution.
C. The causes of plastic waste in the ocean.
D. The effects of plastic pollution on penguins.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The efforts made haven’t yet got good results.
B. Some conservation ways are difficult to carry out.
C. More efforts need to be done to protect penguins.
D. Climate change’s impacts have been fully understood.
