2、（2022·湖北武汉·统考模拟预测）When Emily Cummins was four years old, her grandfather gave her a hammer. She loved using it, and started to learn how to make toys from old things that nobody used any more.
When she was a teenager, she was very creative and always thought a lot about making inventions to help other people. Emily’s grandfather had an illness. He had a lot of pain in his hands and fingers. One day, Emily saw that he had difficulty getting toothpaste (牙膏) out of the tube. She made an invention that helped him with this, and won the Young Engineer for Britain Award for her toothpaste dispenser (自动取物器).

It makes it possible for the women to transport up to five buckets each time. Besides, it is easy for them to repair the water carrier when it is broken as it is made of wood.
Her latest project is a simple fridge that runs without electricity, but only needs the energy that comes from the sun. There are now thousands of families in villages in Zambia, Namibia and South Africa who use it to keep milk, food and medicines cool.
Emily is now a young woman. She is the winner of several prizes for her inventions. She was named one of the world’s top ten young people.

3、（2022·湖北武汉·统考模拟预测）Martin Strel is a swimmer, best known for swimming the big rivers. He was born in 1954. He taught himself to swim when he was six and became a professional swimmer in 1978. Martin holds Guinness World Records for swimming the Danube River, the Mississippi River, the Yangtze River and the Amazon River.
Of all his achievements, the greatest is his Amazon River swim: The Amazon is known as the largest and most dangerous river in the world. Several swimmers had tried to swim it, but all failed.

6、（2022·湖北武汉·统考模拟预测）Already the fastest Asian sprinter （短跑选手）of all time, Chinese athlete Su Bingtian wanted to be faster. He ran into the record books at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games when he became the first Chinese to reach the men’s 100-meter final at an Olympics, setting a new Asian record on the way.
The 32-year-old shocked the world when he ran his personal best of 9.83 seconds in his semifinal（半决赛）to qualify fastest for the final. Although he finished sixth in the final, Su’s been praised as a hero in China for refusing to give up to his older age and repeatedly pushing beyond his limits （极限）, especially in Chinese athletes’ weak area.
At an age when most runners went around in circles and would be preparing for their retirement（退休）, Su made a risky decision: to change which foot to start his sprints with.
He started kicking off his run by putting his left foot on the front of the starting block instead of his right one. It was difficult. But the training paid off. Su became the first Asian-born sprinter to break the 10-second barrier in the 100m in 2015.
Before the Tokyo Olympics, Su set his eyes on the 100-meter final and running 9.85 seconds. But he was not sure of this, since some other sprinters were ten years younger than him. However, Su outdid himself with his new record.
While some people said that his record-setting sprint was the limit for Asians, Su believed there’s no limit at all. “The Chinese can run faster in the coming years.” he said, “And I hope younger sprinters can keep pushing forward.”
As to whether he will take part in the Paris Olympic Games, Su said, “If I can run for a year, then I will stick to it for a year. If I can still run in 2024, I will surely accept the challenge and push my body to even greater speeds.”

8、（2022·湖北武汉·统考模拟预测）When Mike Mushaw decided to join the national bone marrow registry (骨髓登记) he never thought much. He did it only because of his college football coach’s encouragement.
But about six months later, he did get a call. His bone marrow matched a patient in Virginia, a girl named Eleanor with a rare disease. She’d hardly left her house, except to travel to the hospital. As the days passed, her condition had become only more serious and she would die without the transplant (移植).
At first, Eleanor’s family had only hoped that she would have some improvement from the transplant, enough to lead a more normal life. But after a few weeks, the doctors came back with shocking news: Eleanor’s condition had just improved — Mike’s bone marrow had cured her!
Mike didn’t know any of this until Eleanor’s parents sent him an e-mail to thank him. “When they told me it was a five-month-old girl, I got a little choked up (哽咽).” Mike says.
But their surprising connection was only beginning. Mike asked whether he and Eleanor could FaceTime regularly. “It was amazing to watch her and be a part of her life.” he says. Eleanor kept tabs on him, too, by watching his football games on TV. Mike often invited her family to meet at his games in Connecticut where tiny shouts of “Mike! Mike!” could be heard from the stands as the little girl cheered on her very own hero. In January, Mike reunited with Eleanor, this time in Virginia, for her birthday. “As parent, it feels really great to watch someone love your kid as much as you do.” Eleanor’s mother says, “We were two complete strangers, and now we’ve become such a big part of each other’s lives!”

9、（2022·湖北武汉·统考模拟预测）Being an orphan (孤儿) is difficult; however, being an animal orphan can be deadly.
This season, the Volunteers for Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Locust Valley took in six young red-tailed hawks (鹰). If we could get these birds back with their parents, they would have a better chance of surviving. However, we couldn’t find their nests or parents.
But there was another way to help them: foster (寄养的) parenting. But we must place the orphans with other adult pairs before nesting season ended in early July. It’s not always easy. Hawk nests are often 40 or 50 feet high in trees. What’s more, not all birds will accept foster chicks. So we paid close attention to the research by experts before moving chicks.
That day, we happily knew of a nest that was still active at Bethpage State Park! There was one chick in the nest. And the young bird was going to fly but was still in the nest and being fed.
So we decided to move one of our orphan birds. I drove the bucket truck to the nest tree; Lauren, my workmate, held our chick. And up we three went in the bucket. We worked fast, for the wild parents might be back soon, and the female hawk could be aggressive!
To make sure the adults had accepted their new child, I came by later in the day and the next morning. Oh, they had! The chick was just fed up and the adult female hawk sat nearby, staring at me closely.
The results were so encouraging and we tried it again! A week later ,we successfully placed another chick in the same nest.
The adult hawks now had three children to care for, one theirs and two foster chicks. It was heartwarming to see the two animal orphans living in their new loving family!

More time for my favorite

Instead, I can review or preview school work when I’m home. Besides, teachers now teach at a much slower pace so that we have enough time to understand what we have learned. We don’t need to buy workbooks anymore and the exercises are mainly from the textbook. I’m also happy to find there are fewer exams.

11、（2022·湖北武汉·统考模拟预测）On a recent Saturday morning, an excited crowd gathered together on San Francisco’s waterfront. They were watching in amazement as bubble (气泡) artist Kurth Reis slowly drew a large bubble from his bucket (桶) and released it into the air. Several minutes later, the bubble suddenly popped. A little girl in the crowd jumped and clapped. She turned to Reis, eager for another show. The “bubble man” had succeeded once again in bringing a little bit of joy to others.
The 49-year-old traveled a rocky path to his new “job”. In 2018, Reis, then a deliveryman, had a serious motorcycle accident. The man had several operations.

Reis thought about what he could do to help make people feel happy again. He turned to soap and learned to make large bubbles.
Last year, Reis began performing his art form in parks across San Francisco. People started to call him the “bubble man”. Some of them give him tips, but the man says he doesn’t care about the money. Reis feels that his art is useful in more important ways. Not long ago, a woman spoke to him after watching one of his performances. She told him that she had been very sad ever since her father’s death. Seeing his “joyful” bubbles, however, made her feel much better.
“I can’t save the world. I’m not trying to,” Reis says. “But by making some bubbles, I can put a smile on somebody’s face.”

12、（2022·湖北武汉·统考模拟预测）From 40 to 300 Million
It was 2011. I was working in the local government of Perth, Western Australia. One day, I visited a recycling factory. There, I was shown how my city’s waste was sorted and how a portion of it would then get sent off for recycling. It was a complex（复杂的) and energy-intensive（耗能的）process.
I never seriously considered starting a global movement, but after that visit, I really wanted to do something for the environment. I tried to cut out single-use plastics for an entire calendar month in July--and encouraged my friends to do so, too.
Times have certainly changed. If I had started “Plastic Free July” last year, I would have been one of the many people raising awareness（意识）about plastic waste. But 11 years ago, nobody was talking about this problem. When I first asked for a drink without a straw（吸管）, the waiter looked at me as if I was an alien. Now, I can easily buy a bamboo toothbrush at my local supermarket.
The same goes for participation（参与）levels. In the first year, there were just 40 of us in Perth. The challenge turned out to be far harder than I had thought. But by doing it together and sharing tips, we managed to reach our goals. Over the years, more and more people have joined our group. Last year, over 300 million people from 177 countries took part in “Plastic Free July”. As ordinary people, we can’t do everything, and certainly not all at once. However, there is always something that we can do. Start, for example, by just cutting out non-reusable plastic water bottles. Get this good habit in place and then take on the next challenge.
I’m proud of everybody who tries to save our planet.
56．What made the author decide to start “Plastic Free July”?
A．The local government of Perth. B．The great famous global movement.
C．The visit of a recycling factory. D．Ordinary people from different places.
57．What do people do by taking part in “Plastic Free July”?
A．Cutting out reusable plastic water bottles. B．Using plastic products for free in July.
C．Selling bamboo products at a local market. D．Using non-plastic products for a month.
58．Why did the author ask for a drink without a straw?
A．Because the straw was made of colorful plastic.
B．Because she didn’t have enough money with her.
C．Because she would like to save a tip for the waiter.
D．Because that was her first day to develop a new habit.
59．Which of the following saying has the same meaning as the underlined part?
A．Kill two birds with one stone.
B．Where there is a will, there is a way.
C．Don’t fail to do good even if it is small.
D．A thousand-mile journey begins with a single step.
60．What does the title of the passage mean?
