25、

When Claire Vases of Montana was in Grade 7, she learned about plans to modernize her middle school. Claire asked the school board (董事会) to add solar panels to the project because, clean energy would be helpful to a really modern school.

The board liked the idea but said it could offer just $25, 000—one-fifth of the cost. So Claire organized a group of kids and grown-ups who set to work raising the rest. They sold their second-hand books, put on talent shows and asked for donations (捐赠), even going door-to-door for them. One donated more than half the cost!

After two years of hard work, the group paid for the solar panels, which now provide one-fourth of the school’s electricity needs—saving the neighborhood thousands of dollars.

“My favorite part about this project was that one person could start something small and then the project could grow and have a big influence on the community,” Claire said. “There are always going to be hard parts. When there’s a challenge (挑战) presented to you, you can learn from it and use it as a chance to overcome it.”

【1】After knowing the project was still in need of money, Claire ________.

A．raised $25, 000

B．asked for more help

C．sold old newspapers

D．donated half the cost

【2】What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph2 refer to (指代)? ________

A．Solar panel

B．Second-hand books

C．Shows

D．Donations

【3】Which picture shows the change of the electricity cost after the use of solar panels? ________

A．

B．

C．

D．

【4】From Claire’s words in the last paragraph, we learn that ________.

A．hard work was her favorite

B．the project went smoothly

C．a small thing makes a big difference

D．solar panels cost a lot

【5】What would be the best title for the text? ________

A．A Dependent Girl

B．A Modern School

C．Don’t Waste Energy

D．Never Give Up

26、

OH no, not again! I’ve forgotten my password. We all have trouble remembering all those passwords we need to get on our favorite websites. But, if you could take a pill every day that remembers all of your passwords, would you take it?

Well, now there’s a smart pill that can store all of personal details, so when you have to type your password, the electronic device will connect to the pill without you doing anything! The new technology comes from Proteus Digital Health, a company from California, US.

How does it work? The pill has a tiny chip that stores all your online data. It works by the acid in the user’s stomach. Then your smartphones or computers can read the data on the chip when you are near. So remembering your passwords may soon be a problem of the past! However, you’ll have to take the pill everyday.

The average person types in 39 passwords per day, according to Proteus Digital Health. That’s over 14000 times per year! So it could save a lot of time for busy people. As well as being convenient, the pill could also protect us against identity theft.

The smart pill has been approved by both the US and EU food and drug regulators. So everybody may get it soon. The company also has plans to create electronic tattoos that can store data, just like the smart pill. Could we soon be wearing digital information?

【1】According to the first two paragraphs, the smart pill can ________.

A．make you remember your passwords

B．help you look through any website

C．help you type on the computer

D．make you forget your passwords

【2】The underlined word “approved” in the last paragraph means “________”.

A．批准

B．反对

C．生产

D．销售

【3】According to Paragraph 3, which of the following is TRUE?

A．A small chip in the pill stores your memory.

B．The pill works by the acid from your stomach.

C．Only phones can read the data on the chip

D．The pill solves all of your problems.

【4】Paragraph 4 mainly talks about________.

A．why people type in passwords so often

B．how important passwords are

C．what the smart pill can do for people

D．the risk of identity theft

27、A new rubbish system (系统) has been put into use in Fangchengyuan Community in Beijing. Local people not only sort(分类) their rubbish, but also put QR codes (二维码) on it. “When the rubbish is collected and the codes are seen, I will get reward point to exchange for small gifts and even some money,” one of the local people told reporters. “It’s really creative and encouraging.”

This smart system has been carried out in 350 communities in Beijing. The capital of China has joined a list of cities in the country that take action to support rubbish sorting. For example, Shenzhen and Shanghai have made laws to punish people and organizations for not sorting rubbish correctly.

China produces quite a lot of rubbish every year. Much of the rubbish is buried (填埋) in soil or burned without being sorted. Landfills take up a lot of land and have a risk of polluting the soil and water nearby. And burning rubbish can produce harmful gases. Through rubbish sorting, we can reduce the use of landfills and air pollution.

What’s more, rubbish sorting saves resources, which could bring economic benefits, for example, a ton of waste paper can be reused to make about 850 kg of paper, saving 17 trees and 50 percent of water. Because of their benefits, some countries have developed successful sorting systems.

Japan has a strict and detailed system. When people throw away a water bottle, the cap, the wrapper (包装纸) and the bottle itself have to go into three different bins. Every year, families receive special rubbish sorting timetables and directions from their local governments. They are advised to follow the timetables and directions when they throw away rubbish.

In Australia, every family is provided with three rubbish bins — the red lid (盖子) bin for “general waste” like food and plastic bags, the yellow lid bin for “recycling” like steel and glass, and the green lid bin for “green waste” such as grass and leaves. On the streets, the bins are printed with pictures of the things that are allowed inside. It makes recycling quite easy.

【1】What will local people probably get if they put daily rubbish into the new system in Fangchengyuan Community?

A．A computer.

B．A car.

C．A lot of money.

D．Some small gifts.

【2】Which of the following is NOT the consequence (后果) of burying rubbish?

A．Polluting soil.

B．Polluting water.

C．Taking up a lot of land.

D．Saving resources.

【3】Which paragraph discusses the economic benefits of rubbish sorting?

A．Paragraph 3.

B．Paragraph 4.

C．Paragraph 5.

D．Paragraph 6.

【4】In Australia, which bin should you put food left after dinner in?

A．The red lid bin.

B．The yellow lid bin.

C．The green lid bin.

D．The black lid bin.

【5】Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A．In Australia, the green lid bin is used for all kinds of recyclable (可回收的) wastes.

B．In Japan, all kinds of things for recycling are printed on rubbish bins.

C．Japanese people cannot throw a bottle into a bin if they don’t move away the wrapper first.

D．Australian people have to obey local timetables and directions to throw away rubbish.
