22、   Stephen Wamukota, a nine-year-old from Mukwa village in Western Kenya, is making headlines worldwide for his creative hand washing machine. The young boy came up with the idea after watching villagers, who do not have easy access to running water and struggle to find an effective way to wash their hands to avoid spreading and catching COVID-19.

Using the few resources he could get—wood, nails, and a bucket—Stephen designed and built a simple but functional washing station. The clever creation, which is made up of two pedals（踏板）— one to release soap and the other to release water—enables villagers to wash their hands contact-free, thus reducing the likelihood of catching the infectious disease.

"I had bought some pieces of wood to make a window frame, but when I came back home after work one day, I found that Stephen had made the machine," his father, James, told the media. "The concept was his, and I helped tighten the machine. I'm very proud." James credits Stephen's building skill to the village school's curriculum (课程), which teaches children to construct items from a very young age.

The invention, which went viral after James posted a photo online, has made Stephen an instant celebrity in Kenya. In early June 2020, the country's leader gave Stephen the Uzalendo Award for making significant contributions towards the nation's fight against COVID-19. Stephen has also been promised a full scholarship to a school that can develop his creative talent, by the county governor.

Though thrilled at the unexpected fame and success, Stephen is not satisfied with what he has achieved. The young boy has already built another hand washing machine and plans on adding several more.

【1】What inspired Stephen to design the hand washing machine?

A.The school project he was working on.

B.The few resources he could use in his house.

C.The difficulty the villagers had keeping their hands clean.

D.The number of the villagers getting infected with the disease.

【2】What's the original function of the pieces of wood?

A.To make the frame of a window. B.To start a fire to cook meals.

C.To create two pedals of a machine. D.To construct a hand washing machine.

【3】What does the underlined phrase "went viral" in Paragraph 4 mean?

A.Spread rapidly. B.Disappeared suddenly.

C.Improved immediately. D.Matured gradually.

【4】What can we learn from Stephen's story?

A.A good fame is better than anything. B.Many hands make light work.

C.A small child can make a big difference. D.Failure is the mother of success.

23、It was 7:00 am in Kyoto, Japan, and the taxi company had just called a second time to say they couldn’t find my house. Once again I spelt out directions even a blind person could follow. I glanced impatiently at my watch, and waited. Only two hours remained until my flight left—and it was an hour and a half trip to the airport.

Outside, heavy rains were pouring down. My house was so far north in the city that buses pass only here times a day.

The telephone rang again. “Terribly sorry,” began the man at the taxi company. Then I realized that the taxi company, flooded with calls, could only offer in-city runs. I had heard this happens when the weather gets bad. I shouted into the phone that I had a plane to catch and I would meet the taxi outside my house.

Standing in the wind-driven rain, I looked up and down the road. No taxi. A car went by, the driver and passenger staring at the crazy foreigner in the downpour.

Finally a white car appeared and pulled to a stop. A young man threw open the door, waving for me to get in. Shaking with cold and anger, I climbed in.

In the most polite Japanese, the man said he was called Mike, with who I had spoken three times that morning. He had left his post in the office and raced here in his personal car. He apologized again, but didn’t explain why a taxi would not pick me up. Delivering me straight to the airport, he refused the 2,000 yen I pressed into his hand.

A few hours later, as the storm-delayed 727 took off, I opened the newspaper. On the second page my eyes caught the headline of a short article: Taxi Strike Begins This Morning in Kyoto.

【1】Why did the writer call a taxi early in the morning?

A. He wanted to catch a plane.

B. He as unable to find the airport.

C. There were few taxis in town.

D. All the buses stopped because of the rain.

【2】What was the reason for the taxi company not being able to pick him up?

A. More people were riding in taxis on rainy days.

B. The writer didn’t give the correct address.

C. The taxi drivers refused to work.

D. The taxi drivers didn’t like to drive long distance.

【3】The writer got to the airport ____________.

A. by riding in Mike’s car from the taxi company

B. with the help of Mike from the post office

C. by getting a lift in a passing car

D. with the help of a taxi driver sent by his company

【4】We can learn from the text that the driver was _____________.

A. quick-minded at taking action

B. a self-employed driver

C. unwilling to drive to the airport

D. warm-hearted toward people

24、   Researchers spotted the killer whale they call J35 alongside her playful and lively new calf on Saturday—a ray of hope for the endangered Southern Resident population off the Pacific Northwest.

An orca that once spent 17 days carrying her dead calf has become a mother once again. The orca, identified by researchers as J35 and also known as Tahlequah, became a symbol in 2018 of the difficult situation of the Southern Resident whales, which were 88 in number when they were listed as endangered in 2005 and have decreased further since then. The birth of the new orca, which was seen for the first time by researchers on Saturday, brings the population to 73.

“It's a bit of a nail-biter right now,” said Dr. Deborah Giles, a whale researcher. I can't help but be thrilled that she had this baby and this baby didn't die right away. Everybody is worried and on pins and needles, wondering if this calf is going to make it.

The Southern Resident population of orcas, which are also known as killer whales, largely stay near Washington State and British Columbia. The whales have been struggling to get through a variety of troubles-a lack of high-quality food to eat, noise pollution from ships and boats in their habitat, and dangerous pollutants that make their way up the food chain to them. Many of the population's pregnancies 35 fail, and about 40 percent of the calves die in their first year.

J35 had a calf in 2018 that died shortly after birth off the coast of Victoria, British Columbia. The mother continued to carry the calf, pushing it through the water and repeatedly diving deep to get it when it fell away. Orcas sometimes do that for a little while, but J35's journey of grief lasted 17days and covered about 1,000 miles, attracting wide attention at a moment when government agencies were attempting to change the population's downward trend.

Ken Balcomb, founding director of the Centre for Whale Research, documented the newest calf, listed now as J57, in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Mr. Balcomb said he was hopeful that recent efforts could bring back more Chinook salmon, the primary food source for the Southern Resident orcas. He pointed to the removal of a dam on the Elwha River, which empties into the strait, as a possible turning point.

【1】What can be learned about J35?

A．She once refused to part from her dead baby.

B．She went through great difficulty in order to survive.

C．She once received loving care and attention from researchers.

D．She looked different from the other Southern resident whale

【2】How do the researchers feel about the new calf?

A．Relieved.

B．Anxious.

C．Puzzled.

D．Proud.

【3】What did Ken Balcomb talk about in the last paragraph?

A．How the newest calf was named.

B．The main habitat for Southern Resident orcas.

C．How the dam on the Elwha River was removed.

D．The measures for helping Southern Resident survive.

25、In summarising the state of the planet—rising population, widespread conflict, one-sixth of the planet suffering extreme poverty and hunger, global warming—Jeffrey Sachs, author of “The Common Wealth, can paint a terrible picture. However, he’s an_________ and believes that all of these problems can be overcome in relatively straightforward ways and at relatively little cost. That’s because the root causes are interconnected and _________ man-made.

Take child mortality (死亡). Perhaps surprisingly, the higher the child mortality rate is, the higher the birth rate. This leads to a _________ population which puts a greater stress on already scarce resources, so farmers have to work harder to produce enough food for all, which means children are often put to work in the fields or at home. This, _________ , stops children getting the education which will allow them to learn, among other things, about better farming techniques to increase crop yields and provide more food to eat and sell. Sachs argues that the_________ of providing every child in poverty with an anti-mosquito bed net is a major first step. Malaria(疟疾)is a huge cause of death in children and the bed nets massively _________ infections. The fewer children that die of malaria, the more secure parents feel about their children surviving. The more secure parents feel, the fewer children they have, and so on, revising the _________ trend just described.

However, it is _________ a combination of measures at the same time that truly makes a difference: free school meals improve school attendance and health; supplying fertilisers to improve soil and better seeds provides even better harvests; basic health care and clean water supplies_________ more fatal diseases.

These ideas are already being __________ implemented in over 100 African villages in underdeveloped regions. The cost of the project is just $10 per person per year, of which 50% comes from donors and the rest from a mixture of local and national governments and the villagers themselves.

So if it’s so __________ , why hasn’t it been done before? What about all the aid that has been given to Africa and the underdeveloped countries of the world? Has it been lost to corruption (腐败)? Sachs argues that the real problem is not corruption, but the fact that rich governments have __________ such a lot, but actually given so little. They agreed to give 0.7% of national income in aid, but only five countries have met that __________. He suggests current aid is $24 billion per year, which translates as just ten dollars per person—not nearly enough to implement the __________ measures.

So while Sachs sees an opportunity to end poverty forever, he also raises an __________ that this could be the last chance we have, ‘The longer we wait, the greater is the suffering and the larger the long-term costs?
