21、Kenya has been at the forefront of the global war on plastic since 2017, when officials outlawed plastic bags. In 2020, the government raised the demand with a ban on single-use plastics. Unfortunately, tons of industrial and consumer plastic waste continue to get poured into landfills daily. However, if 29-year-old Nzambi Matee has her way, the unsightly plastic garbage mountain will soon be transformed into colorful bricks.
The materials engineer’s search for an effective solution to controlling plastic pollution began in 2017, when she set up a small lab in her backyard. It took her nine months to produce the first brick and even longer to convince a partner to help build the machinery to make them.
She says, “I wanted to use my education in applied physics and materials engineering to do something about plastic waste pollution. But I was very clear the solution had to be practical, sustainable and affordable. The best way to do this was by channeling the waste into the construction space and finding the most efficient and affordable material to build homes.”
Her company, Gjenge Makers, now hires 112 people and produces over 1,500 bricks a day, which are made using a mix of plastic products that can’t be reprocessed or recycled. The collected plastic is obtained directly from factories or picked by hired locals from landfills and mixed with sand, heated at very high temperatures, and compressed (压缩) into bricks that vary in color and thickness. The resulting product is stronger, lighter, and about 30 percent cheaper than traditional concrete (混凝土) bricks. Most importantly, it helps repurpose the lowest quality of plastic.
Matee, recognized as one of the Young Champions of the Earth 2020 — the United Nations’ highest environmental honor — is far from done. Her dream is to reduce rubbish by increasing production and expanding her offerings. She says, “The more we recycle plastic, the more we produce affordable housing…the more we create more employment for the youth.”
【1】Which word best describes Kenyan government’s measures against plastic?
A．Temporary.
B．Effective.
C．Fruitless.
D．Unreliable.
【2】Which of the following do we know about Matee?
A．She turns knowledge into actual products.
B．Her company’s funded by the government.
C．She produces brick-making machinery herself.
D．Her bricks are made from recyclable plastic waste.
【3】What’s the greatest strength of Matee’s resulting product?
A．Its low cost.
B．Its wide range of uses.
C．Its economic benefit.
D．Its environmental value.
【4】What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A．Matee’s achievement.
B．Matee’s greater ambition.
C．Multiple challenges Matee faces.
D．Innovative solutions to plastic waste.
22、 Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian (平民的) clothes. People have become used to expecting superb quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform is likely to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?
Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on bills for washing. They are tax-deductible (可减税的). They are often more comfortable and stay in good condition for a longer time than civilian clothes.
Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they often think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.
Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.
【1】How does the writer begin the passage?
A．By making a comparison.
B．By describing a scene.
C．By raising a question.
D．By presenting a reason.
【2】People probably believe that a man in uniform ________.
A．suggests quality work
B．shows his social position
C．appears to be more practical
D．looks fresher and more attractive
【3】Which is NOT the advantage of uniforms?
A．People pay less tax for uniforms.
B．It is easier to wash and keep uniforms.
C．Uniforms last longer than civilian clothes．
D．People who wear a uniform can gain more trust.
23、It’s Museum Day. Here’s how to get free tickets and have some fun
Museum Day is here for one day and one day only — so you’ll need to hurry if you want to take advantage of the chance to get free Saturday admission to one of the hundreds of participating museums.

24、At Jenner Park primary School in Wales, pupils between the ages of seven and nine are writing letters to residents of a local care home. The initiative sees children and their elderly pen pals(笔友) exchange updates about their lives,helping to build relationships between generations while also giving the children an understanding of the value of writing letters by hand—an activity that's becoming less and less common.
Laura Johnson,the teacher who coordinates(协调) the scheme at Jenner Park,says:"All of our writing is for a purpose. That's the key in getting children to value handwriting. "As soon as you put an audience there, knowing that someone out there is going to be reading it—whether that's parents or another group of children—there's always the real sense of pride to go along with it,"says Johnson.
The school maintains a focus on handwriting throughout the years,from dedicated handwriting classes in the prep school to a calligraphy club offered to the older groups. It has created something called the pen license. It allows younger children to move from using a pencil to pen once they've reached a certain standard. "There's a lot of excitement about reaching that pen licence stage," says Johnson.
Johnson adds that developing students' writing in this way matters for their life after school:"For us, it's important that we create citizens of the future who have a set of life skills that can make them successful." The dominance of technology is a challenge,she admits, but she also believes both tools have their place."Obviously we're competing with technology continuously."she says."And I know there are people there saying you don't need to bother about handwriting because tech is out there. But we don't see it as competing. We're trying to get pupils to realize that there's a place for handwriting and to know when it's important to use each."
【1】Why does the school launch the initiative?
A．To help children to find the meaning of handwriting.
B．To encourage children to show pity for the aged.
C．To persuade children to choose proper courses.
D．To urge children to acknowledge the audience.
【2】What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the school?
A．Its after-class activities.
B．Its practice in handwriting.
C．Its academic achievements.
D．Its innovation in technology.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph about handwriting?
A．It will win against technology.
B．It will give way to technology.
C．It will co-exist with technology.
D．It will cause confusion to people.
【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Handwriting promotes the pen pal scheme
B．Slow communication reduces misunderstanding
C．Creative ideas for dealing with challenges gain popularity
D．Putting pen to paper contributes to a love of the written word
