21、Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!
【1】What did the author’s classmates think about his report?
A. interesting B. ridiculous.
C. boring. D. puzzling.
【2】Why was the author confused about the task?
A. He was unfamiliar with American history.
B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin.
C. He forgot his teacher’s instruction.
D. He was new at the school.

A. annoyed B. ashamed
C. ready D. eager
【4】In the end, the author turned things around _______.
A. by redoing his task

23、ALIEN invasions, Kungfu, hidden treasure——they’re the topics of a thousand computer games. Now comes a game with a difference: climate change. And the challenge? How to beat it.
Fate of the World, which came out last week, puts the Earth’s future in your hands. In this game, you become the head of an international environmental body. You either save the world from the effects of rising greenhouse gas emissions (排放) or let it die by continuing to use emissions-heavy fossil fuels (矿物燃料).
Created by Oxford-based games developer Red Redemption, Fate of the World uses data from real climate models. “There are a range of options including nuclear power and renewable energy. We are not saying one route is the best route,” Gobion Rowlands, Red Redemption’s founder, told Reuters.
Tom Chatfield, gaming expert and the author of Fun Inc: Why Games Are the 21st Century’s Most Serious Business, told British newspaper The Guardian that computer games are uniquely placed to prepare people to deal with climate change. “Two of the problems with environmental issues are time and geography- getting people to care about people on the other side of the earth and problems far in the future, ” Chatfield told The Guardian. “But if people can feel and see the gradual development of changing climate, it can be a better way of learning than reading lots of scientific articles. ”
【1】What does the author mean by saying “Now comes a game with a difference”?
A.You can save the world through playing the game.
B.There are lots of challenges to beat in this game.
C.We can only use renewable energy in this game.
D.People can experience the change of climate in this game.
【2】What do we know about Fate of the World?
A.It’s a combination of Kungfu and treasure hunting.
B.Its data are based on real models.
C.Thanks to it, the environmental problems have been solved.
D.We’d better read more scientific papers instead of playing this game.
【3】What’s Tom Chatfield’s attitude towards this game?
A.Neutral.
B.Favorable.
C.Disagreed.
D.Unclear.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title?
A.Gaming to save nature.
B.Climate change.
C.One route is the best.
D.Fate of the world.
24、Every year around the world, humans waste an estimated 1.3 billion tons of food.This happens even though many people go hungry. So some people have made it their life's work claiming food before it goes to waste and then giving it to people who are hungry.
One of those people is Brett Myers. In 2011, Myers started Nourish Now, a food recovery and food bank in the U.S. state of Maryland. This non-profit organization collects food and then gives it to the poor and organizations that support them.
“Nourish Now is a food recovery-based food bank that recovers food from restaurants, catering companies, grocery stores, hotels, farms and more. And then donates that food directly to families in need, kids in need at local schools.”
Each month, it recovers more than 20,000 kilograms of food and serves 700 needy families, schools and social organizations. Every day, staff and volunteers repackage the donations and distribute them to recipients.
A woman named Rhoda is one of the recipients. She describes the quality of the food delivered to her family by Nourish Now. “It consists of fresh food, fruits and vegetables. You will get bread. Sometimes you get dairy products such as yogurt or milk. And you will get some meat items also. And if you get lucky you might get cooked food, or prepared salads, and stuff like that.”
The supplies can feed a family for five days. Each recipient is able to receive food every 30 days. And the packages are made to fit the dietary needs of each family.
Besides families, the organization also donates small meals called snacks to several nearby schools and social organizations.
Nourish Now has grown considerably since it opened. Brenda is one of them. Part of her job as a volunteer is to make sure that none of the food goes to waste.
“In the morning, I make sure that all the things that came late yesterday, get put away so that we use that last, and we used the things that came the day before first, so that we’re always giving fresh food and we're not throwing out anything.”
【1】What do we know about Nourish Now?
A.It donates money to the poor.
B.It benefits from collecting food.
