21、From the lush green hill you can see Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, in the distance. Populations of deer, rabbits and turtle live here. The air is stinky and the only signs that we are standing above a 24-metre (79 feet) deep landfill are the methane gas pipes rising from the grass.

Ljubljana is the first European capital to commit to going zero-waste. But fifteen years ago, all of its refuse went straight to landfill. “And that is expensive,” says Nina Sankovic of Voka Snaga, the city’s waste management company. “It takes up space and you’ re throwing away resources.”

So the city decided to change course.

It began in 2002 with separate collection of paper, glass and packaging in Roadside container stands. Four years later the city began collecting biodegradable waste door to door; separate collection of biowaste is set to become mandatory across Europe in 2023, but Ljubljana was nearly two decades ahead of the curve.

In 2013, every doorstep in the city received bins for packaging and paper waste. And, most controversially, scheduled collections of the residual waste were cut by half-forcing people to separate their rubbish more efficiently.

The results have been impressive. In 2008, the city recycled only 29.3% of its waste and was lagging behind the rest of Europe. Today that figure is 68%, and its landfill receives almost 80% less rubbish, putting it at the top of there cycling leader board of EU capitals. The Slovenian capital now produces only 115kg of residual waste per capital annually(the European city with the lowest figure is the much smaller Treviso, Italy, at 59kg).

【1】What is the usage of the pipe rising from the grass?

A．A sign to show there is a deep landfill.

B．To emit gas rising from the grass.

C．To discharge methane from the deep landfill.

D．A water pipe to water grass.

【2】What is the meaning of the underlined word “mandatory” in Paragraph 4?

A．Compulsory.

B．Typical.

C．Normal.

D．Reasonable.

【3】What is the author’s attitude to the change of Ljubljana?

A．Favorable.

B．Intolerant.

C．Doubtful.

D．Unclear.

【4】In which section of a newspaper may the passage appear?

22、Winning a remarkable science award is really a big deal, especially if you are 12 years old. But Shanya Gill, a middle schooler from San Jose, California, won the top award in the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge for designing a fire detection system that is superior to existing ones, as stated in the press release.

“The top winners have exhibited boundless curiosity,” Maya Ajmera president and CEO of Society for Science, said in the press release. “Their remarkable research not only reflects their talent but also paves the way for an exciting new future.”

Shanya’s inspiration came after a fire destroyed a restaurant in her neighborhood during the summer of 2022, reported The Washington Post. “I had never really experienced something like that before,” she told The Washington Post about the early morning fire at Holder’s Country Inn, which started in the kitchen. “They had smoke detectors. and yet it still burned down,” she added.

After she studied fire statistics, Shaya spent over a year developing a fire detection system that she believes could have prevented the fire. Unlike traditional smoke detectors that sense active fires from the smoke in the air, Shanya’s thermal (热的) imaging device is designed to stop fires from occurring.

With a thermal camera and a Raspberry Pi, a tiny computer the device detects when a heat source has been left unattended for ten minutes and sends a text message warning. Creating the prototype(原型) was difficult and the hardest part was the programming, “I had two designs, and my first design completely failed. It was a really big challenge I had to go through.” she said. The final device outperforms smoke detectors in speed and accuracy. Shanya wants to bring the costs down to make it even more common than hardwired smoke detectors.

“Shanya saw a problem, went after it and tried to solve it, and that’s what we need to encourage with all young people,” said Ajmera. She also highlighted the significance of supporting individuals, especially girls and kids of color, in STEM fields, as research indicates that many young people drop out of these areas.

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

A．She gained a lot of money in the award.

B．She showed a curious nature as a schooler.

C．She set a big stage for young people her age.

D．She was junior to other winners in performance.

【2】What motivated Shanya to develop her fire detection system?

A．Her desire to win the science award.

B．Her experience of a destructive fire.

C．Her interest in computer programming.

D．Her goal to improve STEM education for girls.

【3】What is an advantage of Shanya’s invention?

A．It consists of two parts that are easier to conduct.

B．It can send out a warning against a potential fire.

C．It can detect active fires from the smoke in the air.

D．It functions when a fire breaks out within 10 minutes.

【4】Which of the following can best describe Shanya?

A．Reliable.

B．Cooperative.

C．Innovative.

D．Generous.

23、   It’s a big change from homeless teen to Yale (耶鲁) medical school student, but perseverance paid off for Chelesa Fearce of Clayton County, Georgia.

Fearce was a fourth grader when her mom was diagnosed (诊断) with Lymphoma (淋巴瘤).That began a hard time for the family. They had to move in and out of shelters, hotels and even the family car.

“I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said in a speech she gave at her high school graduation ceremony. Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day. “I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore. And that helped me get through,” she told WSBTV.

Fearce was determined to be a good role model for her younger sister. She found inspiration in her late grandmother, struggling with deadly diseases, who gave Fearce emotional support. In her junior and senior year, Fearce took both high school and college courses, missing out on the free meals she depended on so she could get to her college classes. Despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night, she not only graduated as valedictorian (毕业生代表) of her 2013 class with a 4.5 grade average, but was also given a ride scholarship—including a meal plan to Spelman College in Atlanta.

After graduation, she worked full time for two years at the National Institutes for Health in Bethesda, Maryland, doing research on drugs. Last fall, she entered Yale and set a course to earn both a PhD and medical degree.

【1】What does the underlined word “perseverance” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A．instant passion.

B．continuous efforts.

C．great patience.

D．selfless ambitions.

【2】How did Fearce feel facing the sufferings?

A．Sad and disappointed.

B．Stressed and defeated.

C．Determined and confident.

D．Joyous and contented.

【3】What can we know about Fearce’s learning experience?

A．Her grandma encouraged her to study medicine.

B．Her high school offered her free meals and courses.

C．She failed to study late due to frequent power cut.

D．She gained remarkable high school achievement.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．From Homeless to Yale

B．Meet American’s Top Girl

C．Disabled but not Defeated

D．Chelesa Fearce: A Girl of Many Talents

24、Laughter is more like an animal call than it is like speech—but it's also one of our most important forms of communication.
