21、As a navigation (航海) major, Song Yin should have sailed a boat. But a campus career fair changed her career trajectory, and she became one of China’s first two female rescue helicopter pilots.
When she was in third year at Shanghai Maritime University, the Donghai No.1 flying rescue service came looking for female pilots. Song was the hot favorite for career fair. Tall, thin, good-looking, she was a big shot on campus. Also, she is good at sports, especially basketball that requires a considerable level of coordination (协调性)—an important quality for pilots.
She was admitted as a female rescue helicopter pilot. “At first, I thought it was cool and fun.” She said. However, when the job really got started, the reality was totally different from her imagination.
Rescue operations always come with danger. One of her most dangerous missions took place in December 2016 when a boat was involved in flames in the East China Sea, leaving 10 fishermen at death’s door. Song rushed to fly the helicopter to the scene. She was informed that the gas cylinders (气瓶) on the boat could blow up at any time. Without panic, she managed to hover at higher altitude to keep away from the dense smoke. Fortunately, not one of rescuers was injured, and all of the 10 fishermen were rescued from the burning boat. “We are not just saving 10 people but also 10 families,” she said.
Like any other sports fan, she enjoys watching the Tokyo Olympics when she isn’t busy. “My idol is Chinese striker Wang Shuang. She’s so great.” she said. “When the Chinese team was many goals behind the Dutch team, she still didn’t give up, and she encouraged her teammates to fight till the end.” She added, “If you give up, you must lose. But if you push on, you won’t necessarily lose. It’s just the same as my job.”

22、For decades, wealthy nations have transported plastic waste, and the environmental problems that go with it, to poorer countries, but researchers have found a potential bright side of this seemingly unequal trade.
In a study, researchers analyzed 11 years of data on the global plastics trade against economic measures for 85 countries. They found that the import of plastic waste was associated with growth in GDP in the low-income countries. They stressed that plastic waste is still a big problem, especially for developing countries, as the majority of it doesn’t get recycled and even plastics that are recycled still finally negatively affect the environment.
For the study, researchers analyzed data from the United Nations and the World Bank looking at several economic variables as well as trade information on common plastic waste. While they found an association between economic benefits and plastic waste imports in the low-income countries, for the high-income countries there was no association between importing waste and economic growth.
While the study didn’t assess exactly how the plastic waste was made use of in the developing countries, the authors note that it’s likely they’re recycling some of the plastic for use in industry. There was also some evidence that the low-income countries were trading the plastic waste among themselves regionally.
The researchers stressed that there is much complexity in global trading of plastic waste. In the future, they plan to investigate the regional trade among countries as well as changes in more recent years. Even with the economic benefits of importing plastic waste, reducing environmental harm from plastics would still likely require changes from both high-income countries and low-income countries.
“Some people might argue that developed countries need to create more ways to better process plastic waste at home, instead of looking for other destinations for plastic waste abroad,” one of the researchers said. “Some communities in the United States may do well in recycling plastic waste, but in others, there is still room for improvement. Producing and using less plastic would be another way to reduce environmental harm.”
【1】How does most imported plastic waste end up in developing countries?
A.Being unrecycled.
B.Being repurposed.
C.Being sold repeatedly.
D.Being processed scientifically.
【2】What did the study fail to focus on?
A.How complex the global trading of plastic waste is.
B.How developing countries use the imported plastic waste.
C.Whether developing countries trade plastic waste with each other.
D.Whether high-income nations benefit financially from importing plastic waste.
【3】What do the researcher’s words in the last paragraph imply?
A.More effective ways have been found to have plastic waste processed.
B.Plastic should be completely banned for environmental protection.
C.Developed countries should help poorer countries process plastic waste.
D.The degree to which plastic waste is recycled varies greatly across America.
【4】What’s the best title for the text?
A.Recycling Plastic Waste Still Has a Long Way to Go
B.Plastic Waste Does Play an Important Role in the Global Trade
C.Plastic Waste Has Some Economic Benefits for Developing Countries
D.Developed Countries Shift Environmental Harm by Exporting Plastic Waste
23、SAN FRANCISCO-DJI,a Chinese manufacturer of consumer and commercial drones,made headlines in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond last week by helping to locate a missing teen. The police department in Fremont,California,on Tuesday, issued a public notice detailing how a drone had helped officers locate a missing teen.
A police dispatcher(调度员)received a call around 8:30 pm on Feb 5 from the California Highway Patrol,which requested assistance in locating a missing student from the California School for the Deaf.
Several officers responded on foot to the scene,conjunction of railroad track and road. Police also deployed a drone to expedite (加快)the search. The drone,later identified as a DJ I Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual model,is equipped with a thermal imaging camera system that enables searching in the dark.
Shortly after the drone took off,the pilot reported a heat spot;it was the missing teenager,who was hiding in bushes. The pilot then guided officers through the communication system to approach the youth,who was cold and hungry. He was then rushed to paramedics(护理人员)nearby.
Lieutenant Matt Snelson,in charge of the department’s unmanned aerial-vehicle program,said the search for and rescue of "a young man who needed help,and to get him to the resources he needed" was a big success for "our UAV(无人机)team and our community". The technology allowed officers to expedite the search,which normally could have taken several hours and more resources,he said,adding,"We have been training and expanding our program to be prepared for this exact scenario.”
Fremont,home to Tesla and several high-tech unicorn startups,is an early adopter of drones. The city administrator approved the purchase of the drones,along with the necessary training,about three years ago.
"We feel so grateful that our technology has been used to help a young man’s life.”Adam Lisberg,corporate communication director of DJI North America,told China Daily. According to available statistics,the Fremont teen was the 211th on a global public safety list of drone-assist rescues,said Lisberg. Shao Yang,a newly elected Fremont City Council member,shared the story of the DJI drone-assisted police search on social media.“A successful integration of high-tech and protection of lives,”he concluded.

24、A primary school in UK has banned Valentine’s Day cards because of concerns that young pupils spend too much time talking about boyfriends and girlfriends.
Ashcombe Primary School in Weston Super Mare,Somerset,has told parents that cards declaring love can be“confusing” for children under the age of 11,who are still emotionally and socially developing. In this month’s newsletter(通讯),Peter Turner,the head teacher,warned that any cards found in school would be confiscated(没收).He wrote:“We do not wish to see any Valentine’s Day cards in school this year. Some children and parents encourage a lot of talk about boyfriends and girlfriends. We believe that such ideas should wait until children are mature enough emotionally and socially to understand the commitment involved in having or being a boyfriend or girlfriend.”Mr.Turner said any families wanting to support the Valentine’s Day idea should send cards in the post or deliver them to home addresses by hand.
His views were endorsed by Ruth Rice,46,who has twins Harriet and Olivia at the school. She said,“Children at that age shouldn’t really be thinking about Valentine’s Day,they should be concentrating on their schoolwork.”They are at an age when they are impressionable(易受影响的)and most parents including myself are with Mr.Turner. “She added that the cards cause” too much competition. If someone gets a card and another doesn’t,then someone will be disappointed.
However,Rajeev Takyar,40,who has two children Jai,11,and Aryan,five,at the school,said he was “outraged”.He said,“There are schools that have banned conkers(栗子游戏)and snowballs,and now Valentine’s Cards.”I think banning the cards stops children from having social skills. How are they going to learn about relationships otherwise?It’s ridiculous. Alec Suttenwood,father of three children,said of the ban:“It’s totally ridiculous. Young children just send the cards to each other as friends and to their parents. It’s just a bit of harmless fun. There is no difference between this and Mother’s or Father’s Day.”
【1】Which of the following is the best title?
A.Ban on Valentine’s Day cards at school is well received.

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
“Tiki!” I yelled desperately.
Our dog, Tiki, had slipped out the door earlier that evening. Now I was searching the neighborhood trying to find him. My seven-year-old son, Jordan, was following behind.
I was worried about Jordan. He had lost so much already. The last few months had been difficult. After getting divorced, I could no longer afford our house in Indianapolis. Jordan and I moved in with my parents in northern Indiana. Jordan missed his friends and his old school. Losing his childhood dog was the last thing he needed.
We called out Tilki’s name until it was completely dark. We were forced to return home, empty-handed.
“Mom, it’s all new here. What if Tiki can’t find Grandma’s house?” asked Jordan. “It’s okay,” I said. “He’s wearing his collar and dog tag (标牌).” It was at that moment that I realized Tiki’s tag listed our address and phone number in Indianapolis. If someone found him, they’d have no way to reach me. I felt sick to my stomach.
The next day, I kept asking around to see if anyone had spotted him. But after two weeks, I began to lose hope.
One afternoon, I found Jordan crying in his room. “At school, we had to write about our wishes,” he said. “I wrote, ‘I wish my dog would come home.’ Mrs. Rush hung our papers in the hallway. Every time I see my paper, I feel sad.” My heart broke for him.
So later that week, when he put on a stained shirt from his old school back in Indianapolis, I just let it slide. If it helped him get through the school day, that was more important than looking put-together.
When he got home that afternoon, he told me the school custodian (管理员) had asked him about his shirt. “I told him we just moved here from Indianapolis,” said Jordan.
The next day, I got a call from Mrs. Rush. “I’m calling on behalf of our school custodian,” she began. “His grown daughter found a dog a few weeks ago, and he thinks it might be yours.”
