21、Sagarika Sriram was 10 years old when she started reading newspaper stories about a planet in trouble, one of which was about turtles with plastic in their stomachs. Sagarika knew she needed to do something. First, she joined a group which organized cleanup campaigns in her home city, Dubai “The group helped me understand what an individual can do and how I can really make a difference,” she says.

Then Sagarika created Kids for a Better World. It’s a digital platform which has brought together nearly 10,000 youths from all over the world with the goal to create a greener world.

Sagarika is now 16. She’s part of a growing number of young climate activists. “We’re the generation that is going to face the results if the climate crisis is not dealt with,” she says. She believes even individual actions can create a “ripple effect”. Sagarika says this can build momentum and can move things in the right direction.

Kids for a Better World is for people aged 8 to 16. It teaches them about what they can do to reverse climate change. They can grow food, plant trees, collect recyclables and avoid using plastic bags. “This is the information which can help change our future,” Sagarika says.

Dubai is a desert metropolis. Growing up there has made Sagarika very aware of the need for action. Her city faces the risk of rising temperatures and its water supply is shrinking. She believes young people can bring attention to these environmental challenges.

Sagarika is all about small actions, but she has big plans. She’d like to go to college in California. While she’s there, she’ll continue being an activist. She’ll also be running Kids for a Better World. She hopes to inspire others to fight for a greener planet. Others have inspired her. “We’re creating our own system of inspirational change-makers,” she says.

The story is about a young girl named Liesel who has to live with foster parents (养父母) during World War II. On the way to her new home, her brother dies, setting the sad tone for the story. There is hope, however, when Liesel discovers her love for reading and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing attacks with a Jewish man hidden in her basement.

23、China will deliver its first homemade C919 large passenger plane by the end of 2022, reported Xinhua.

The plane, developed by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), gained the type certificate (TC) from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) at the end of September.

“The type certificate means the C919 has the ‘certificate of entering’ into the civil aviation market.” Yang Zhenmei a senior CAAC official, told Xinhua. It also shows that China has the ability to independently develop world-class large passenger aircraft, and marks an important milestone for the country’s large aircraft industry.

The C919 is a fourth-generation aircraft, which has a wingspan of nearly 36 meters, a length of about 39 meters and a tail height of around 12 meters. It has 158 to 168 seats. With a range of 4,075 to 5,555 kilometers, the C919 is able to fly between any two cities in China. So far, 800 C919 aircraft have been ordered by 28 customers.

Its aerodynamically — designed wings made from advanced metals and composites (复合材料) help improve fuel efficiency while reducing noise in the cabin. Its cockpit with the latest navigation technology and the so-called “fly by wire” computer controls, makes the C919 competitive with other narrow-body jets.

Wu Guanghui, the chief designer of the C919, said he believes China will need around 2,000 narrow-body jets like the C919 in the future. “It will take up more than 70 percent of the commercial aircraft in China’s civil aviation industry. We decided to make this kind of plane because it’s the most needed product in the market.” said Wu.

【1】What can we learn about the C919 from the first two paragraphs?

A．It was delivered to foreign customers.

B．It was built with the help of other countries

C．It was moved out of the civil aviation market.

D．It got the type certificate from CAAC in September.

【2】What probably makes the C919 better than other narrow-body jets?

A．The size of the C919.

B．The distance that the C919 can fly.

C．The advanced technology the C919 used.

D．The number of passengers that the C919 can hold.

【3】What can we know from Wu Guanghui’s words?

A．The C919 has huge market potential.

B．The C919 is welcomed by civil passengers.

C．China will not make money from selling planes.

D．China is going to rule the world aircraft market.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage

A．To report a key event of the C919.

B．To compare the C919 with other planes.

C．To announce the disadvantages of the C919.

D．To support technological innovation of the C919.

24、“What's your ‘Thing of the Day’？”I asked my fourteen-year-old son as he got a piece of potato onto his plate. This is a question our four kids and whichever friends are staying for supper expect to be asked each evening at suppertime. Usually, it's followed with, “Uhh……Umm…We had pizza for lunch. ”And then I have to refuse the response and ask for something meaningful-either something he learned or something that happened with his friends.

But, this day, my son surprised me as he went into great detail about how he had been honestly wronged by a couple of classmates and laughed at in front of the class. I asked more questions and learned that the teachers were aware of the situation. The issue had been dealt with as much as the teachers and staff were able to. It was really just a matter of kids being mean and deciding to play a trick on someone.

I thought about the situation all night. I vacillated between meeting the teachers, meeting the parents of the classmates, and not doing anything since the story had been told to me in a matter-of-fact way-not overly excitedly.

I waited until the next day after school. On the car ride home, I questioned my son what about today after yesterday's situation. My son was surprised that I brought it up again. “What？No, it's over, Mom. They're my friends. They were just being stupid. They apologized. Forgive and forget, you know？We're all good. ”

I was worried that perhaps he was trying to hide his concern or sadness about the thing. But as I watched him over the next days and weeks, everything seemed “normal”. Wouldn't it be great if everyone could live the “forgive and forget” way of life？

【1】How are children's usual answers to the author's daily question？

A．Serious.

B．Worrisome.

C．Meaningless.

D．Detailed.

【2】Why was the author sleepless that night？

A．Her son was made fun of unkindly.

B．Her son invited his friends to dinner.

C．Her son was punished by his teacher.

D．Her son lied to her about his mistake.

【3】What does the underlined word “vacillate” in paragraph 3 probably mean？

A．Give suggestions.

B．Make sense.

C．Persuade oneself.

D．Be undecided.

【4】What did the author learn from the whole story？

A．It is good to forgive and forget.

B．It is necessary to watch her son.

C．It is difficult to understand children.

D．It is surprising for her son to apologize.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写成两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

There was once a man who went out to look for a job. As he was passing his neighbor’s house, an important piece of paper fell out of the man’s pocket.

His neighbor happened to be looking out of the window. He saw the piece of paper fall, and he thought: “What a disgrace! That guy let that fall out of his pocket on purpose. He’s trying to mess up the front of my house!” But instead of going out and communicating with him, the neighbor planned his revenge( 报 复 ). That night, he took his waste-paper basket and went to the man’s house. The first man also happened to be looking out of the window, and saw what happened. Later, when he was picking up the paper which had been dumped near his door, he found the important piece of paper that he had lost. It was torn into dozens of pieces. He thought that his neighbor had not only picked his pocket, but had the cheek to（厚着脸皮）mess up his doorway with rubbish.

He didn’t want to say anything. Instead, he started planning his revenge. That night he phoned a farmer to make an order of ten pigs and a hundred ducks. He asked that they be delivered to his neighbor’s house.

Of course, the next day, his neighbor had quite a bit of trouble trying to get rid of so many animals and their noises. Sure that this had been an evil trick pulled by his neighbor, the second man again started planning his revenge immediately he got rid of the pigs and ducks.

And so it went on.

They continued trying to get back at each other, and each time their acts of revenge got bigger and more stupid. The dropping of that single piece of paper ended up causing a fire siren(警报), the driving of a truck into a garden fence, the throwing of stones at windows, and finally the dropping of a bomb which destroyed both men’s houses.
