21、Wangari Maathai, 2004 Nobel Peace Prize winner, once told a story of a hummingbird. When a forest fire breaks out, a hummingbird will volunteer to do its best to fight the fire despite its small size and little impact, while larger animals like the elephants just sit by and watch. In many Kenyan people’s eyes, the youth group Komb Green Solutions is such a hummingbird.
Formed in 2017, Komb Green Solutions is a community-based organization in Nairobi. Though it started off with no support at all, it was armed with a passion to change the environment in their slum (贫民窟).
Fredrick Okinda, the group’s founder, said that before the group was formed, some young people in Korogocho were engaged in crime to earn a living. This always resulted in gang fights, with Okinda having lost many friends to crime.
During an upgrading project where a new bridge linking Dandora and Korogocho slums was being built, Okinda and his co-founders saw an opportunity. Having worked as casual laborers and security officers for the project, the youth decided to carry on by restoring the river under the bridge on a voluntary basis.
“When we started, our main focus was the dumpsite (垃圾场) under the bridge,” Okinda said. “It was a hiding place for thieves and a place where drug dealers and users would go to conduct their illegal activities, so we wanted to create a green and safe space for children to play and for young people to relax.”
With limited resources, lack of funds and an enormous task, Komb Green Solutions has slowly but surely started turning the city’s Korogocho slum from an eyesore into a safe space where children can play and adults can live healthy lives.
【1】Why does the author mention hummingbird in paragraph 1?
A．To introduce a Kenyan youth group.
B．To show Wangari Maathai’s theory.
C．To amuse readers with a funny story.
D．To stress the importance of hummingbirds.
【2】What made Okinda start Komb Green Solutions?
A．Saving wild birds.
B．Making a living.
C．Solving the drug problem.
D．Changing the community.
【3】Which of the following best describes Okinda?
A．Reserved.
B．Devoted.
C．Polite.
D．Honest.
【4】What is a suitable title for the text?
A．Living a Healthy Life
B．Bridging Two Slums
C．Transforming the City Slum
D．Volunteering in Communities
22、Whether you’ve been teaching for years or this is your first year in the classroom, there’s no doubt that finding the best strategies for school conferences can be challenging. After years of trying, I’ve come up with a few must-dos that have transformed my conferences. 【1】!
Form a relationship with families before the conference
My number one school conference strategy starts long before the conference dates are scheduled. I make sure that I’ve positively connected with each student’s caregivers well before they sit down with me at conference time. 【2】. When caregivers gain the belief that we’re on the same team and have similar goals,it opens the doors for productive and meaningful conferences.
Consistent Classroom Communication
【3】. Classroom newsletters or other digital updates via educational apps really help caregivers feel informed and included. Simple as it is,this strategy brings great benefits, such as increasing the connections between home and school, giving caregivers a glimpse into daily schedules,routines,and sharing academic content and vocabulary, to name but a few.
【4】
With caregivers’ varied schedules,commitments, other children, and transplantation constraints (限制), I love to be able to offer an alternative to in-person conferences. Offering a phone conference or Zoom conference option for caregivers opens up conferences to those that otherwise would not be able to get to school to meet in person. Involve students and caregivers in the conference process.
Conferences are a time for me to share data, observations, celebrations, and goals with caregivers. 【5】! Conferences are an active conversation among all stakeholders: students, their caregivers, and their teachers.
A．But that’s not all
B．The possibilities are endless
C．Offer times to support all the families
D．Expanded options for conference modes
E．They’ll also make your conference a success
F．It is key to building trust for the entire school year
G．Regular,consistent correspondence is another strategy I use
23、 The age of technology is a great and convenient thing, but it does have effects on us in many different ways.
It causes long-term memory loss. Thanks to Baidu, we don't really have to remember much of anything. Questions are answered at the drop of a hat because Baidu is all-knowing! Is that a good thing, though? People aren't digging through their brains anymore to find answers. Here's the good news: we can still exercise our long-term memory by simply thinking before we Baidu. If we don't want to go down that road, we can search Baidu for some memory games to play. Turn Baidu into an asset instead of an enemy.
It makes us lack patience. Baidu gives us what we want. Everything is instant. In fact, if we have to wait for even a handful of minutes for anything, we start losing our minds. This idea of instant satisfaction carries through to many other aspects of our lives, too, like when we go out to eat, drive in traffic, or even deal with workplace accidents. Instead of using Baidu to lessen our anger, try searching for some mindful meditations (沉思).Focus on our breath and realize everything doesn't have to move at lightening speed. We can actually listen to some peaceful spa or meditation music on our Pandora, too!
It wastes our time. Be honest, how much time are we spending on Baidu every day? Whether we're doing research for our own personal needs, buying clothing, or writing a research paper, we all spend a ton of time on the trusty Internet. Are we always being efficient with this time? For the sake of our precious time, if we haven't used Baidu Drive, we should. Keep spreadsheets, text docs, PDFs, slideshows, and even recordings exactly where we can easily find them. Keep a running list of websites we know we'll revisit.
Overall, things are different these days. Yes, there are noticeable negative side effects because of the Baidu invasion, but we don't have to fall into that trap. Stay sharp and don't let ourselves become imprisoned doing the Baidu god's bidding.
【1】Which of the following can best replace the underlined part “at the drop of a hat”?
A.at one point B.in no time C.in a way D.at a loss
【2】Why do we turn impatient in real life according to paragraph 3?
A.We depend on ourselves too much.
B.We can't get everything with Baidu.
C.We can't get quick services in real life.
D.We get used to Baidu's quick convenience.
【3】What is the author's advice on saving time online?
A.Using Baidu Drive.
B.Keeping papers correctly.
C.Being efficient with work.
D.Emptying websites records timely.
【4】What does the text mainly tell us?
A.The side effects of Baidu and solutions.
B.The advantages and functions of Baidu.
C.The technology and influence of the Internet.
D.The disadvantages and risks of the Internet.
24、 Ask any readers who their favorite fictional character in a novel is and you'll likely get a detailed explanation about the beloved character that they admire. It might even sound like they're talking about a person they know.
In a study, researchers looked at the brains of a group of people over nine days. Half of the group read the novel Pompeii, and half didn't. After examining, researchers found the readers' brains showed heightened connectivity in some areas. This is likely because the brain imagines the movement and emotions of the character they read about in the book. Even though the participants were then asked not to read the novel, they kept this heightened connectivity. We call that a "shadow activity", almost like a muscle memory. So even after you've finished a book, your brain keeps those benefits for some time afterwards.
It has been suggested that people who read a lot of fiction become more empathic (移情的),because fiction is a simulation (模仿)of social experiences, in which people practice and improve their interpersonal skills. The people who not only read fiction, but felt a high level of "emotion transportation" while reading as compared to people who weren't taken by the story or who read non-fiction displayed higher levels of empathy when tested. Increase of empathy is important for people because empathy is positively related to creativity, performance at work and cooperative behaviors.
Besides, reading improves "Theory of Mind". It is “the ability to understand that others have mental states that are different from one' s own.” Of various activities, reading novels has been found to improve this ability, while watching television programs or movies has been found to do just the opposite a reduced understanding of others and weaker cognitive (认知的)development overall.
Maybe we should put more of a priority on novel-reading. And many readers believe that reading a novel is far better and more meaningful than watching any movie. As David Kidd of the New School study said, “Fiction is not just a simulator of a social experience; it is a social experience."
【1】Which of the statements is true according to Paragraph 2?
A.When they finish a book, the brain connectivity disappears.
B.The participants in the study all read the novel Pompeii.
C.Reading novels increases connectivity in our brain.
D.Reading novels helps enhance our memory greatly.
【2】What do we know about novel readers from Paragraph 3?
A.They tend to be emotional in social experiences.
B.They are more likely to be innovative and cooperative.
C.They have poor interpersonal skills.
D.They are more sensitive to others' views.
【3】What' s the effect of watching TV or movies?
A.It distinguishes your views from those of others.
B.It contributes to your cognitive development.
C.It reduces your empathy for others a lot.
D.It changes your overall mental states.
【4】What does the underlined word "priority" in the last paragraph mean?
A.Preference. B.Authority.
C.Exposure. D.Evaluation.
【5】What do you think is the best title for the passage?
A.Reading fiction VS Watching movie B.Reading fiction makes a full man
C.Novel-reading is a 'shadow activity" D.Novel-readers share emotions
