Visiting the epic beaches

Definitely one of the best advantages of living in Perth is its beaches. Backed up to the Indian Ocean, Perth is home to crystal clear water and glistening white sand. And it’s little wonder most people will spend at least one day relaxing at the beach on a holiday here.

Enjoying the views from Kings Park

22、When fashion designer Mindy Scheier’s middle child, Oliver, came home one day and told her he wanted to wear jeans to school rather than sweatpants (宽松运动服), she was faced with difficulty. Oliver has a rare disease, which causes him to struggle with everyday tasks, such as dressing himself. Would she tell her 8-year-old son that he couldn’t wear what everyone else got to wear, or could she figure out a way in which he could? She chose the latter, change a pair of jeans for him. And with that, the Runway of Dreams Foundations was born.

Scheier started the foundation in 2014 to make adaptive clothing more accessible and fashionable for people with disabilities (残疾). As part of its purposes, Runway of Dreams Foundation partners with brands to make stylish suitable clothing lines available to the disabled, creates scholarships for students focusing on suitable clothing and helps with employment opportunities for people in the disability community.

“It is truly unbelievable how one pair of jeans has changed the world,” Scheier said. “Creating adaptive clothing for people with disabilities and trying to make change happen in the fashion industry felt so much bigger than just Oliver or just me. It felt like something that had to happen. The future of fashion is inclusion (具有包容性). We’ve been dressing different body shapes, and now it’s time to dress different abilities. I am so excited that Runway of Dreams Foundations really started a movement to make change happen.”

“They told my mother that I wasn’t going to be able to do anything for myself, but I proved them wrong. What people like me can do with a disability is the same as someone who doesn’t have one. It might look a little bit different, or a little bit strange, but it can be done. I never opened up a magazine and saw someone that looked like me. So it’s good now for disabled young kids to see a model in an ad with a disability, ” said Oliver.

【4】What can we learn from Oliver’s words?

A．He never reads magazines.

B．He feels ashamed of himself.

C．He dreams to become a model.

D．He appreciates suitable clothing.

23、   Albert Einstein(1879—1955) was one of the greatest and most original scientific thinkers of all time.

Born of Jewish parents in Germany, he completed his education in Switzerland and got his Ph. D at the University of Zurich. He went to live in the United States in 1933 because of the rise of Nazism in Germany and Hitler's persecution of the Jews.

In 1905, while still at Zurich, he published his Special Theory of Relativity, which was based on things everyone may have noticed. If two trains are standing alongside each other and one train starts to move , a person sitting in the train may wonder whether his own train is moving or the other is moving, and before he finds out what is happening, he can see that one train is moving relatively to the other. From this and also from other more complicated facts, Einstein came to the conclusion that all motion is relative and that there are really no such things as absolute motion.

Some of the other conclusions he drew are that nothing can go faster than light, and that if something such as a ruler was moving faster and faster it would seem to get shorter and shorter as its speed was near the speed of light. By 1915, Einstein had made known his General Theory of Relativity, He also improved on Newton's theory of gravity. Most of his theories have been tested and found to be true though some may sound strange. For his important work he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics.

【1】In 1933, Einstein went to live in the United States because ________

A．he loved the USA more than his own country

B．he had got some friends there with whom he could work together

C．he wanted to live quietly in the USA

D．he could no longer work in Germany when Hitler came into power

【2】Einstein published his Special Theory of Relativity when he was ________ .

A．in the United States

B．in Ulm, Germany after he got his Ph. D

C．still in Switzerland at the age of twenty-six

D．still at the University of Zurich at the age of thirty-six

【3】One of the conclusions drawn by Einstein is that ________ .

A．planes go faster than trains and buses

B．people couldn't run as fast as vehicles

C．light goes the fastest of all the things

D．two trains can go in different directions .

24、Burning coal for energy adds planet-warning carbon dioxide (CO2) to Earth’s atmosphere. As the planet heats up, experts warn that simply cutting greenhouse gas emissions (排放) will not be enough to avoid global warming. CO2 must also be removed from the atmosphere.

Existing experimental machines that pull CO2 directly from the air are too expensive to be widely used. But a new effective technology to remove CO2 already exists. It is not expensive and easy. It is forests. Planting trees and watching forests are effective ways to clean the air.

Forests used to cover large areas of the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. In the state of West Virginia, coal mining let the land there bare, without trees. Over the years, coal mining and cutting forests took over 90 percent of the red spruce (云杉) forests.

Chris Barton works for the University of Kentucky. He started a group called Green Forests Work, aiming to put trees back on the roughly 400,000 hectares of land.

However, Barton explains the land has problems. “If you planted trees on these places, they just didn’t grow. The ground was too hard. Water didn’t infiltrate (渗透). The trees can’t root. Oxygen can’t circulate in those environments.” Using heavy equipment, workers tear the ground. In this way, the trees put down roots.

Barton says not everyone believes the solution is a good idea. “We’ve had a lot of doubtful look at us twice from people. But after we do it, there’s no question that it was the right thing to do.” And it has worked. Forests are coming back to the grounds.

Scientists say that, in West Virginia alone, restoring red spruce forests to the area could send what is equal to 56 million barrels (桶) of oil into the ground. But it will take time — a long time. Around the world, experts say, nature offers powerful tools to fight climate change. But patience is needed. Nature works, but slowly, in its own time.

【1】What is the economical and effective way to remove CO2 from the air?

A．Inventing new and powerful machines.

B．Cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

C．Making use of natural gases instead of coal

D．Planting trees and protecting forests.

【2】What does the underlined word“tear” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A．Destroy.

B．Repair.

C．Cry.

D．Cover.

【3】What can we know from Paragraph 3 to Paragraph 5?

A．Oxygen is not enough for trees to grow there.

B．Too many rocks had made it hard to plant trees.

C．Coal mining has spoiled the land through years.

D．There is no water for trees to grow there.

【4】The last paragraph tells us that restoring the forest environment there is ________.

A．a painful process

B．a slow process

C．a creative process

D．a learning process

For years my life followed a(n) ______: I slipped out of the house, played football until dark and instantly I was infected with malaria. Football was so appealing that I was willing to ______ anything —injuries, punishment, and even sickness—to play it. Soon enough, my mother would rush me to the Sijuwade Hospital. There, the doctor said I needed to be _____ .

My dad often spent the night with me in the hospital while my mother ______ my sister at home. Then came the happiest ______ when my father told me wonderful stories.

My father was a(n) ______ storyteller. In the hospital, he would tell me a story or two, or, sometimes, if he was not too tired, many in response to my request.

Because of my mom's strict supervision, it became ______ difficult to steal out. No longer sick, no more stories. ______, I broke into my father's room one evening.

"Dad, you tell me stories only when I'm sick."

My father laughed, "You are already eight and can read by yourself!"

He ______ me a book and said, "Go and read that. It'll tell you stories."

I remember that night clearly. I opened the book and read what turned out to be the most ______ story that I had ever read.
