21、An Indonesian librarian is lending books to children in exchange for trash they collect in a novel way to clean up the environment and get the kids to read more.

Each weekday, Raden Roro Hendarti, a librarian in Indonesia’s Java Island rides her three-wheeler with books piled up at the back for children in Muntang village to exchange for plastic cups, bags and other waste that she carries back. As soon as she shows up, little children, many accompanied by their mothers, surround her “Trash Library” and ask loudly for the books. They are all carrying trash bags and Raden’s three-wheeler quickly fills up with them as the books fly out. She’s happy the kids are going to spend less time on online games as a result.

“Let us get kids to read more and build a culture of literacy from a young age,” Raden said. “We should also take care of our waste in order to fight against climate change and to save the earth from trash,” she said.

She collects about 100 kg of waste each week, which is then sorted out by her colleagues and sent for recycling or sold. She has a stock of 6,000 books to lend and wants to take the mobile service to neighboring areas as well.

Kevin Alamsyah, an eager 11-year-old reader, looks for waste lying in the village. “When there is too much trash, our environment will become dirty and it’s not healthy. That’s why I look for trash to borrow a book,” he says.

The literacy rate for above-15-year-olds in Indonesia is around 96 percent, but a September report by the World Bank warned that the pandemic will leave more than 80% of 15-year-olds below the minimum reading level identified by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

【1】What is “Trash Library” like?

A．Well-decorated.

B．Noisy and dirty.

C．Relaxing.

D．Popular.

【2】Why does Raden run the “Trash Library”?

A．To fight against climate change.

B．To collect trash for money.

C．To help kids get away from online games.

D．To get kids to read more and care for the environment.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A．Indonesia’s environmental situation is worrying.

B．People in Indonesia has a very low literacy rate.

C．The trash library has been introduced to many other cities.

D．The pandemic has a negative effect on teenagers’ reading.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．A Novel Way to Improve Library

B．The Indonesian System for Reading

C．Your Trash Benefiting the Environment

D．Your Collected Trash for Our Books

22、   I waited 14 years to do something that I should have done in my first year of teaching: shadow a student for a day.

This is the first year I am working in a school but not teaching my own classes. Being the High School Learning Coach, my job is to work with teachers and administrators to improve students’ learning outcomes.

As part of getting my feet wet, the headmaster suggested I “be” a student for a day: I was to complete all the work of a 10th-grade student: if there were notes on the board, I copied them as fast as I could into my notebook; if there was an experiment, I did it with my host student; if there was a test, I took it.

I could not believe how dog-tired I was after the day, because I literally sat down the whole day, except for walking to and from classes. We forget as teachers, because we are on our feet a lot — in front of the board, walking as we speak, circling around the room to check on student work…. we move a lot.

But students almost never move, because in every class, the expectation was for us to come in, take our seats, and sit down for the whole class. Therefore, by the end of the day I was eager to move. I had planned to go back to my office and write down some notes on the day, but I was so exhausted that I couldn’t do anything but watch TV and I was in bed by 8:30.

If I could go back and change my classes now, I would immediately change the following three things:

1. mandatory stretch halfway through the class;

2. put a basketball hoop on the back of my door and encourage kids to play in the first and final minutes of class;

3. build a hands-on, move-around activity into every single class day.

【1】Why did the headmaster suggest the author do the task?

A.To help the author with her new job. B.To allow the author to realize her dream.

C.To let the author learn from other teachers. D.To test whether the author was a good coach.

【2】What was the author supposed to do in class?

A.Instruct the students how to take notes. B.Find out what subject the students liked.

C.Do what the students were required to do. D.Teach students to do chemical experiments.

【3】How did the author feel after the day?

A.She lost interest in TV. B.She had pity for students.

C.She felt unsatisfied with the school. D.She thought teachers move too much.

【4】What do the three changes have in common?

A.They are after-class activities. B.They encourage students to love sports.

C.They prevent students from sitting too long. D.They are good for both teachers and students.

23、   A computer program that could help catch and ever translates from aliens in outer space has been started by a British scientist.

If aliens are discovered one day, scientists fear their language may make it possible to understand them. But John Elliott of needs Metropolitan University in Britain has come up with a program that can figure out the structure(结构)of their language. He thinks that’s the first step in understanding what they are saying.

Dr.Elliott’s program would compare an alien language to a database(数据库)of 60 different languages in the world to look for a similar structure. He believes that even an alien language will have its own structure.Language has to be structured in a certain way, or it will be harder to use,he told New Scientist magazine.

Research had shown that it is possible to know if a signal(信号)carries a language rather than a picture or music. Dr.Elliott has gone a step further by finding a way to pick out what might be words and sentences. Because languages have different word orders, Dr.Elliott has set up a library of the sentence structures of 60 human languages.

If a message is received from outer space, it could be compared against this database. Scientist would then be able to see if it’s similar to any human language, or a mix of the language.

However, Dr.Elliott also said that in order to translate what the aliens are actually saying, it may still be necessary to have a code book.

【1】Why did Dr.Elliott come up with the program?

A.To learn more about outer space.

B.To develop a new language.

C.To help translate the messages for aliens.

D.To compare an alien language to human languages.

【2】According to Dr.Elliott, what’s the first step of understanding an alien language?

A.Coming up with a program. B.Knowing a structure.

C.Understanding aliens. D.Discovering aliens.

【3】What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us?

A.Some necessary conditions for making the program work.

B.Dr.Elliott’s findings about different kinds of languages.

C.Three important functions of the program.

D.The number of sentence structures of human languages.

【4】How does the program work when it receives a message from aliens?

A.Mix the message with 60 human languages.

B.Translate the message and send it to the database.

C.Pick out the sentence structure and translate it.

D.Compare the message to the database of 60 human languages.

【5】What can we infer from the story?

A.Not all languages have their own structure.

B.The structure of alien languages is similar to that of human languages.

C.To translate alien languages, there is much work to do..

D.Alien languages are signals carrying pictures and music.

24、It is no secret that physical activity is necessary to a person's well-being. Because children are continuously developing physically and emotionally, they are especially affected by the benefits of activity. Former First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move initiative reports that nearly one-third of US children are overweight or obese, and that "schools are a key setting for kids to get their 60 minutes of play with moderate activity, given the significant portion of time they spend there."

Physical education programs in schools directly benefit students' physical health. Regular exercise promotes muscles and bone development. In addition to participating in physical activity, students in P.E. learn the fundamentals of a healthful lifestyle, the building blocks upon which they can develop into healthy, knowledgeable adults.

Though the lack of attention on P.E. is often justified as an opportunity to spend more time in the classroom, studies show that physical activity contributes to improved academic performance. Regular activity during the school day is strongly associated with higher concentration levels. A statewide policy in North Carolina requires that children from kindergarten to eighth grade participate in 30 minutes of physical activity each day.

Activities in P. E. help children develop healthful social interactions. From a young age, children learn cooperation through group activities and form a positive sense of identity as part of a team. Such group activities are continually important as children grow older. The International Platform on Sport and Development states that sport has been used as a practical tool to engage young people in their communities through volunteering, resulting in higher levels of leadership and community engagement among young people.

The benefits of P.E. to a child's mental health are both complex and comprehensive. Improved physical health, academics and social interactions all contribute to good mental health. Physical activity sets the stage for a good night's sleep, provides more energy to participate in hobbies and interact with others.

【1】The first paragraph implies that___________.

A．most children are growing much fatter currently

B．schools should attach great importance to physical education

C．some schools have banned physical activity

D．most parents are dissatisfied with school education

【2】Physical education is ignored in a way because___________.

A．students should have more time for study

B．children dislike taking physical activity

C．schools are worried about children's safety

D．less sporting equipment is available to school children

【3】Which is NOT a benefit of P.E. classes?

A．They help you study attentively.

B．They provide you with a sound sleep.

C．They guarantee you a rosy future.

D．They promote your social skills.

25、Scientists in Norway have some good news for coffee drinkers. Researchers have already found evidence that the drink or the beans can help with weight loss, ________ one's risk of developing some diseases, promote muscle growth, protect against certain types of cancers and can even reduce one's risk of premature(早于预期的) death, among many other________. Now it is said that a cup of ________ reduces physical pain.

The surprising finding is ________ a study involving 48 volunteers who agreed to spend 90-minutes performing computer tasks meant to finish office work. The tasks were known to ________ pain in the shoulders, neck, forearms and wrists. The researchers wanted to ________ how people with pain with those who were pain-free tolerated(忍受)the pain of such tasks. As a matter of convenience, the scientists allowed people to drink coffee before taking the test "to avoid ________ effects of caffeine lack, e.g. decreased vigor, sleepiness, and exhaustion." they reported.

When it came time to analyze the data, the researchers from Norway's National Institute of Occupational Health and Oslo University Hospital noticed that the 19 people who drank coffee reported a ________ intensity(强度)of pain than the 29 people who didn't. In the shoulders and neck, ________ the average pain was rated 41 (on a 100-point scale) among the coffee drinkers and 55 for the non-coffee drinkers. Similar gaps were found for all pain sites measured, and coffee's obvious pain-reduction effect ________.

However, the authors of the study, which was published this week in the journal, BMC Research Notes, warn that the results of the study come with many ________. For starters, the researchers don't know how much coffee the coffee drinkers consumed(消耗)before taking the computer tests. ________, they doubt whether the coffee drinkers and non-coffee drinkers were ________ in all aspects except for their coffee consumption. Problems like these tend to ________ the importance of the findings. But those doubts are ________ to trouble the coffee drinkers looking for any reason not to cut back on their daily caffeine habit.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was a beautiful day outside. The sky was a pale blue and the clouds were big and fluffy which made me delighted. I decided to take a walk in the park and enjoy the lovely weather. As I was walking, I saw a little girl sitting on a bench, looking sad and lonely. I approached her and asked if she was okay. She looked up at me with big, round eyes filled with tears and shook her head.

I sat down next to her and asked her what was wrong. She said that she had lost her doll and couldn’t find it anywhere. I offered to help her look for it and we searched the park together. We looked in every nook and cranny, behind trees and bushes, but couldn’t find the doll. We all felt frustrated and depressed. Just when we were about to give up, I saw a glimmer of pink behind a park bench. I picked up the doll and handed it to the little girl.

She was so grateful and gave me a big, warm hug. She told me that her doll was very special to her because the gift was given by her best friend who had gone abroad and she missed the best friend very much. She couldn’t thank me enough for helping her find it. As we walked back to her house, the little girl told me that she was new to the area and didn’t have any friends yet. She always felt lonely and sad and didn’t want to go to school. I comforted her and promised to come back and visit her again, and we exchanged phone numbers.
