That youngsters were glued to online games on their smart phones was a great concern for Ngurang Meena, a school teacher in Nirjuli. The 30-year-old social science teacher, who ran the Ngurang Learning Institute, an adult literacy centre, said that she felt disheartened when she read student papers. 揟he graph of student performance is falling every year. It breaks my heart whenever I see answer sheets basic grammar skills are missing and there's an absence of any cohesive (连贯性的) expression. They lack guidance and reading culture is almost zero,” Meena said. When her school and the centre she ran had to close due to infectious diseases, she planned to do something to address the problem.
Inspired by a similar proposal in Mizoram, Meena set up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on August 30th, 2020, where passers-by could spend time reading. The selections included motivational books, biographies and novels as well as comics for young children. 揑 have to please the minors with sweets to sit and read, but that is okay, she laughed.
Meena's bookshelf became a hit among youngsters who spent hours in the reading corner. Within two months, her effort became the talk of the town.
Now, generous contributions of books come in from the public and she is even receiving requests to set up such libraries in other parts of the state, including one in the capital, Itana-gar. Since the tiny libraries are far from the main town, she also lends books out to those who want to read at home.
揑 never thought that this would become such a big inspiration, Meena said. 揝ince childhood, we have been told that books are our best friends. The next generation of kids is focused on games and other things. I don't want them to head on the wrong track, she added.
What's the aim of Meena's reading program?
To highlight the importance of reading for adults.
B. To help adults learn some cohesive expression.
C. To keep Ngurang Learning Institute running well.
D. To care for youngsters lacking in reading.
25. What did Meena do to encourage young kids to read more?
A. She provided them with transportation. B. She offered some rewards to them.
C. She chose novels with beautiful covers. D. She selected books covering every category.
26. What does the underlined 搕his refer to in the last paragraph?
A. People抯 generous contributions of books. B. Her setting up the reading corner.
C. People抯 request to set up libraries. D. Young people抯 passion for reading
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Roadside Reading Corner B. Books: Sources of Knowledge
C. The Library: a Paradise for the Young D. New Ideas about Setting a Reading Plan
C
Engineers in New York have invented a folded paper device that looks like a decorated art project. But don't be fooled. This is actually a paper-based battery. No, it doesn't look like any of those metal batteries running flashlights or smartphones. In these systems, the battery can be printed on a page. The battery抯 power consists of living bacteria.
Paper electronics are simple to make and inexpensive, notes study leader Seokheun Choi, an engineer at Binghamton University. They need no electrical outlet to recharge. They just need more bacteria, which can be found everywhere including dirty water.
揗ost batteries use chemicals to generate electricity. Substituting bacteria can be an advantage, Choi says.揟hey are cheap and self-repairing. What paper-based batteries won抰 do is generate much power. They do, however create enough to run small devices in faraway or dangerous places such as a battlefield . They might also find use in medicine . For instance, they might power tiny sensors, such as the types used to measure blood sugar.
This invention is based on an observation made more than a century ago — that microbes (微生物) produce electricity as they digest food. Scientists refer to the bio-batteries based on this principle as microbial fuel cells. A fuel cell generates electricity like a regular battery. But a regular battery stops producing electricity when its inner chemical reactions stop. A fuel cell uses fuel that can be refilled. In this case, bacteria serve as the fuel. By refilling more microbes, as needed, scientists can keep these fuel cells running.
Lab tests have shown that the new battery can produce a current. Now, Choi and his team are looking at ways to increase the power. They're studying different shapes and materials for the anode and cathode (正负极). They're also looking for the best ways to combine batteries for more power. The beauty of the paper devices is that you can simply fold them to connect them. And they surely will be a trend in the near future.
What makes the paper-based batteries different from other batteries?
A. They are mainly used to run smartphones. B. They take a much shorter time to recharge.
C. They are used to decorate small devices. D. They use bacteria to generate electricity.
29. What can the paper-based batteries do?
A. Lower blood sugar levels. B. Power tiny devices.
C. Produce much electricity. D. Change chemicals in the paper.
30. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. The application of the new battery. B. The characteristics of the paper batteries.
C. The working principle of the invention. D. The intention to invent the device.
31. What is the author's attitude towards the development of the paper-based batteries?
A. Defensive. B. Ambiguous. C. Doubtful. D. Optimistic.
D
While we know that language first appeared among Homo sapiens (智人) somewhere thousands of years ago, the secret to how language evolved is still unknown, and mainstream theories fall into two different camps.
One widely held theory is that language came about as an evolutionary adaptation. That was where the idea of natural selection came into play, which was the belief that the specific physical features of a population made that population more likely to survive its environment, like the turtle and its shell. On one hand, humans needed to communicate with each other in order to hunt, farm and defend themselves successfully from the surrounding hostile environment. Being able to communicate by using language gave the human species a distinct survival advantage. On the other hand, language was needed for social interaction, according to those who subscribed to the adaptation theory.
In their paper 揘atural Language and Natural Selection, researchers Steven Pinker and Paul Bloom theorized that a series of calls or gestures evolved over time into combinations, giving us complex communication, or language. As things became more complicated around them, humans needed a more complex system to convey information to one another. Early man saw a group of deer he wanted to hunt. He made a sound to his hunting partner that means 揹eer are nearby. One day, a storm came in and the hunter noticed that thunder scared the deer away. As a result, the hunter went hungry until the storm passed. Over time, the same hunter also learned to recognize the warning signs for bad weather dark skies and increased wind. Early man realized that when the sky darkened and the wind picked up, he needed to tell his hunting partner to speed up the pursuit of the deer. Therefore, he came up with a series of sounds that refer to both the deer and the bad weather.That series of sounds was the beginning of an evolutionary adaptation that eventually became language.
As humans learned more about how to best survive, they developed a need to convey these survival methods to their population. To be brief, that抯 the adaptation theory.
What is the text mainly about?
A. The paper on natural selection. B. The evolution of language.
C. The differences between theories. D. The introduction to human reproduction.
33. Why are the turtle and its shell mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To support the evolutionary adaptation. B. To show the mystery of nature.
C. To stress the advantage of the turtle s shell.
D. To encourage people to study natural selection.
34. How does the author explain the adaptation theory in paragraph 3?
A. By comparing. B. By listing data.
C. By giving an example. D. By carrying out a survey.
35. What will the author most probably tell us next?
A. The exact place where humans came from.
B. The reasons why animals cannot form language.
C. The other theory of how language evolved.
D. The methods of humans' shaping non- verbal thinking.

How to Choose Your Purpose-Filled Career
When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways.
36 . If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things. This is not a bad way to go, of course, but you can抰 always make money doing things you like (like video games or drinking beer). And sometimes things you like are better as a hobby or side passion.
Think about a well-paid job that you can do and doesn抰 sound so bad. Maybe a doctor, engineer or lawyer? Or maybe that抯 out of your educational reach, so you choose office or retail worker. 37 but often they are not something you抮e really passionate about. It抯 kind of like just doing something because it抯 there not very inspired.
However, there抯 another way that is perhaps better: 38 . For example. Taking care of children, because you really want to help children get a great start in life, or blossom into who they want to be or getting into government or social work to improve the conditions of the community you live in or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible disease. 39 and if you choose one of them for that purpose, you will serve in that work feeling a sense of purpose each day.
There are endless ways to do that. The point isn抰 how you serve the world, but just serving the world in some way that will help you feel filled with purpose. 40 .
A. Think about what you like to do
B. These are all great choices
C. You can identify your purpose and work out how to get there
D. If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you抮e always further along than most people
E. The sooner you complete the training requirements, the sooner you will make a living
F. Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better
G. Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose

Another thing I noticed was that the lady, though she lived in 52 surroundings, seemed delighted. I realized that life is beautiful if we love it. Only those who are 53 their life can really understand what happiness really is.
I dropped the idea of ending my 54 .
I must thank that kind lady for what I had never experienced till then. 55 someone's life with kindness is worth all the treasure in the world.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
On Christmas Eve, seventy-three-year-old George selected his food carefully. Skim milk was $2.99, white bread, 89 cents with a 10-cent discount. Leaving the cashier, he calculated that he had saved 80 cents today.
At the exit, the wind reminded him of his gloves. Where are they? Not in the coat pockets. Not in the grocery bag either. He was sure he was wearing them when he entered the store. He clearly remembered putting them into the pocket of this coat. George made a second thorough search of all his pockets, again including the grocery bag. Now he was sure they must have been dropped somewhere inside the store.
Old George had bought the black leather gloves at a 25% discount, for just $35.00, ten years ago. They were soft and warm and very durable. He had taken care not to let a drop of water or rain touch his expensive gloves, so they looked like new. Losing this favorite possession was almost like losing a child to him.
George, calm on the outside but nervous inside, re-entered the store. He followed the same route he had walked before, starting at the bread counter, to the milk section, the corner where salt and sugar were placed, then the rest of the store. Several minutes of anxious searching turned out to be in vain. He asked the customers whether they saw a pair of black leather gloves, but they said no. Then he went over to the cashier without hesitation to ask if she had received any lost gloves, but only received the same answer. His heart grew heavier.
揝ociety has changed, people have changed, he murmured to himself. 揧ears ago, if somebody picked up something lost, they would give it back. Now a good action is lost.
Yet he did not give up hope. He started to stare at anybody wearing black gloves to see if they looked like his. The first two persons he saw did wear gloves, but one was women抯 and the other not black.

One possible version:
Good afternoon, boys and girls!
I’m Li Hua. I feel honoured to be here to share my views on life in the future. With the rapid development of high-tech, our life has changed a lot in the past decades. Many things that wouldn抰 happen before have come into reality. Therefore, our life will change as well in the future.
Perhaps some people will have the alternative to go to the moon for a holiday or live under the sea, which will make their life interesting and colorful. Besides, in the future maybe each family will rely on robots to do housework and we抣l have more free time to develop our hobbies. What抯 more, all the materials can be recycled and nothing will be wasted. Our environment will be much better than now.
I believe life in the future must be wonderful and exciting, so I抣l try my best to work hard for a better future life.
Thanks for listening！

Suddenly, he found a man looking like a lawyer, wearing black leather gloves. Abrupt as it might seem, George came up without hesitation and asked if they were his, but there came a disappointing answer. On second thought, he realized nobody would be so foolish as to wear them right inside the store. He had no other alternative but to ask the cashier to keep them in case the lost gloves were found. Then he dragged his legs towards the exit.
During the whole holiday, he was always thinking whether to buy a new pair. After all, in deep winter, he could not do without gloves. Finally poor George decided to buy another pair of leather gloves. With the last ray of hope, he stepped into the store again. No sooner had he opened the door than the cashier told him there was indeed one such pair as he lost. after examining them carefully, he was wild with joy, expressing sincere gratitude and saying to himself that a good action was never lost.

That youngsters were glued to online games on their smart phones was a great concern for Ngurang Meena, a school teacher in Nirjuli. The 30-year-old social science teacher, who ran the Ngurang Learning Institute, an adult literacy centre, said that she felt disheartened when she read student papers. 揟he graph of student performance is falling every year. It breaks my heart whenever I see answer sheets basic grammar skills are missing and there's an absence of any cohesive (连贯性的) expression. They lack guidance and reading culture is almost zero,” Meena said. When her school and the centre she ran had to close due to infectious diseases, she planned to do something to address the problem.
Inspired by a similar proposal in Mizoram, Meena set up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on August 30th, 2020, where passers-by could spend time reading. The selections included motivational books, biographies and novels as well as comics for young children. 揑 have to please the minors with sweets to sit and read, but that is okay, she laughed.
Meena's bookshelf became a hit among youngsters who spent hours in the reading corner. Within two months, her effort became the talk of the town.
Now, generous contributions of books come in from the public and she is even receiving requests to set up such libraries in other parts of the state, including one in the capital, Itana-gar. Since the tiny libraries are far from the main town, she also lends books out to those who want to read at home.
揑 never thought that this would become such a big inspiration, Meena said. 揝ince childhood, we have been told that books are our best friends. The next generation of kids is focused on games and other things. I don't want them to head on the wrong track, she added.
What's the aim of Meena's reading program?
To highlight the importance of reading for adults.
B. To help adults learn some cohesive expression.
C. To keep Ngurang Learning Institute running well.
D. To care for youngsters lacking in reading.
25. What did Meena do to encourage young kids to read more?
A. She provided them with transportation. B. She offered some rewards to them.
C. She chose novels with beautiful covers. D. She selected books covering every category.
26. What does the underlined 搕his refer to in the last paragraph?
A. People抯 generous contributions of books. B. Her setting up the reading corner.
C. People抯 request to set up libraries. D. Young people抯 passion for reading
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Roadside Reading Corner B. Books: Sources of Knowledge
C. The Library: a Paradise for the Young D. New Ideas about Setting a Reading Plan
C
Engineers in New York have invented a folded paper device that looks like a decorated art project. But don't be fooled. This is actually a paper-based battery. No, it doesn't look like any of those metal batteries running flashlights or smartphones. In these systems, the battery can be printed on a page. The battery抯 power consists of living bacteria.
Paper electronics are simple to make and inexpensive, notes study leader Seokheun Choi, an engineer at Binghamton University. They need no electrical outlet to recharge. They just need more bacteria, which can be found everywhere including dirty water.
揗ost batteries use chemicals to generate electricity. Substituting bacteria can be an advantage, Choi says.揟hey are cheap and self-repairing. What paper-based batteries won抰 do is generate much power. They do, however create enough to run small devices in faraway or dangerous places such as a battlefield . They might also find use in medicine . For instance, they might power tiny sensors, such as the types used to measure blood sugar.
This invention is based on an observation made more than a century ago — that microbes (微生物) produce electricity as they digest food. Scientists refer to the bio-batteries based on this principle as microbial fuel cells. A fuel cell generates electricity like a regular battery. But a regular battery stops producing electricity when its inner chemical reactions stop. A fuel cell uses fuel that can be refilled. In this case, bacteria serve as the fuel. By refilling more microbes, as needed, scientists can keep these fuel cells running.
Lab tests have shown that the new battery can produce a current. Now, Choi and his team are looking at ways to increase the power. They're studying different shapes and materials for the anode and cathode (正负极). They're also looking for the best ways to combine batteries for more power. The beauty of the paper devices is that you can simply fold them to connect them. And they surely will be a trend in the near future.
What makes the paper-based batteries different from other batteries?
A. They are mainly used to run smartphones. B. They take a much shorter time to recharge.
C. They are used to decorate small devices. D. They use bacteria to generate electricity.
29. What can the paper-based batteries do?
A. Lower blood sugar levels. B. Power tiny devices.
C. Produce much electricity. D. Change chemicals in the paper.
30. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. The application of the new battery. B. The characteristics of the paper batteries.
C. The working principle of the invention. D. The intention to invent the device.
31. What is the author's attitude towards the development of the paper-based batteries?
A. Defensive. B. Ambiguous. C. Doubtful. D. Optimistic.
D
While we know that language first appeared among Homo sapiens (智人) somewhere thousands of years ago, the secret to how language evolved is still unknown, and mainstream theories fall into two different camps.
One widely held theory is that language came about as an evolutionary adaptation. That was where the idea of natural selection came into play, which was the belief that the specific physical features of a population made that population more likely to survive its environment, like the turtle and its shell. On one hand, humans needed to communicate with each other in order to hunt, farm and defend themselves successfully from the surrounding hostile environment. Being able to communicate by using language gave the human species a distinct survival advantage. On the other hand, language was needed for social interaction, according to those who subscribed to the adaptation theory.
In their paper 揘atural Language and Natural Selection, researchers Steven Pinker and Paul Bloom theorized that a series of calls or gestures evolved over time into combinations, giving us complex communication, or language. As things became more complicated around them, humans needed a more complex system to convey information to one another. Early man saw a group of deer he wanted to hunt. He made a sound to his hunting partner that means 揹eer are nearby. One day, a storm came in and the hunter noticed that thunder scared the deer away. As a result, the hunter went hungry until the storm passed. Over time, the same hunter also learned to recognize the warning signs for bad weather dark skies and increased wind. Early man realized that when the sky darkened and the wind picked up, he needed to tell his hunting partner to speed up the pursuit of the deer. Therefore, he came up with a series of sounds that refer to both the deer and the bad weather.That series of sounds was the beginning of an evolutionary adaptation that eventually became language.
As humans learned more about how to best survive, they developed a need to convey these survival methods to their population. To be brief, that抯 the adaptation theory.
What is the text mainly about?
A. The paper on natural selection. B. The evolution of language.
C. The differences between theories. D. The introduction to human reproduction.
33. Why are the turtle and its shell mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To support the evolutionary adaptation. B. To show the mystery of nature.
C. To stress the advantage of the turtle s shell.
D. To encourage people to study natural selection.
34. How does the author explain the adaptation theory in paragraph 3?
A. By comparing. B. By listing data.
C. By giving an example. D. By carrying out a survey.
35. What will the author most probably tell us next?
A. The exact place where humans came from.
B. The reasons why animals cannot form language.
C. The other theory of how language evolved.
D. The methods of humans' shaping non- verbal thinking.

How to Choose Your Purpose-Filled Career
When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways.
36 . If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things. This is not a bad way to go, of course, but you can抰 always make money doing things you like (like video games or drinking beer). And sometimes things you like are better as a hobby or side passion.
Think about a well-paid job that you can do and doesn抰 sound so bad. Maybe a doctor, engineer or lawyer? Or maybe that抯 out of your educational reach, so you choose office or retail worker. 37 but often they are not something you抮e really passionate about. It抯 kind of like just doing something because it抯 there not very inspired.
However, there抯 another way that is perhaps better: 38 . For example. Taking care of children, because you really want to help children get a great start in life, or blossom into who they want to be or getting into government or social work to improve the conditions of the community you live in or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible disease. 39 and if you choose one of them for that purpose, you will serve in that work feeling a sense of purpose each day.
There are endless ways to do that. The point isn抰 how you serve the world, but just serving the world in some way that will help you feel filled with purpose. 40 .
A. Think about what you like to do
B. These are all great choices
C. You can identify your purpose and work out how to get there
D. If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you抮e always further along than most people
E. The sooner you complete the training requirements, the sooner you will make a living
F. Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better
G. Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose

Another thing I noticed was that the lady, though she lived in 52 surroundings, seemed delighted. I realized that life is beautiful if we love it. Only those who are 53 their life can really understand what happiness really is.
I dropped the idea of ending my 54 .
I must thank that kind lady for what I had never experienced till then. 55 someone's life with kindness is worth all the treasure in the world.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
On Christmas Eve, seventy-three-year-old George selected his food carefully. Skim milk was $2.99, white bread, 89 cents with a 10-cent discount. Leaving the cashier, he calculated that he had saved 80 cents today.
At the exit, the wind reminded him of his gloves. Where are they? Not in the coat pockets. Not in the grocery bag either. He was sure he was wearing them when he entered the store. He clearly remembered putting them into the pocket of this coat. George made a second thorough search of all his pockets, again including the grocery bag. Now he was sure they must have been dropped somewhere inside the store.
Old George had bought the black leather gloves at a 25% discount, for just $35.00, ten years ago. They were soft and warm and very durable. He had taken care not to let a drop of water or rain touch his expensive gloves, so they looked like new. Losing this favorite possession was almost like losing a child to him.
George, calm on the outside but nervous inside, re-entered the store. He followed the same route he had walked before, starting at the bread counter, to the milk section, the corner where salt and sugar were placed, then the rest of the store. Several minutes of anxious searching turned out to be in vain. He asked the customers whether they saw a pair of black leather gloves, but they said no. Then he went over to the cashier without hesitation to ask if she had received any lost gloves, but only received the same answer. His heart grew heavier.
揝ociety has changed, people have changed, he murmured to himself. 揧ears ago, if somebody picked up something lost, they would give it back. Now a good action is lost.
Yet he did not give up hope. He started to stare at anybody wearing black gloves to see if they looked like his. The first two persons he saw did wear gloves, but one was women抯 and the other not black.

One possible version:
Good afternoon, boys and girls!
I’m Li Hua. I feel honoured to be here to share my views on life in the future. With the rapid development of high-tech, our life has changed a lot in the past decades. Many things that wouldn抰 happen before have come into reality. Therefore, our life will change as well in the future.
Perhaps some people will have the alternative to go to the moon for a holiday or live under the sea, which will make their life interesting and colorful. Besides, in the future maybe each family will rely on robots to do housework and we抣l have more free time to develop our hobbies. What抯 more, all the materials can be recycled and nothing will be wasted. Our environment will be much better than now.
I believe life in the future must be wonderful and exciting, so I抣l try my best to work hard for a better future life.
Thanks for listening！

Suddenly, he found a man looking like a lawyer, wearing black leather gloves. Abrupt as it might seem, George came up without hesitation and asked if they were his, but there came a disappointing answer. On second thought, he realized nobody would be so foolish as to wear them right inside the store. He had no other alternative but to ask the cashier to keep them in case the lost gloves were found. Then he dragged his legs towards the exit.
During the whole holiday, he was always thinking whether to buy a new pair. After all, in deep winter, he could not do without gloves. Finally poor George decided to buy another pair of leather gloves. With the last ray of hope, he stepped into the store again. No sooner had he opened the door than the cashier told him there was indeed one such pair as he lost. after examining them carefully, he was wild with joy, expressing sincere gratitude and saying to himself that a good action was never lost.
