Some libraries use unique architecture to encourage visitors to explore the racks and settle down with a new book, or use flowing libraries to bring books to hard-to-reach populations.
Kansas City Library（Kansas City, Missouri）
Along the south wall of this parking garage's exterior, visitors are treated to what looks like a huge shelf of books. The building originally served as a bank, which is readily apparent when the library has screenings in its Vault Theater, inside an actual 1925 bank vault.
Stuttgart City Library（Stuttgart, Germany）
Opened in 2011, this nine-story public library designed by Eun Young Yi is characterized by its impressive white-on-white color scheme, its bold cubic shape and its cavernous interior. This cultural center for the city, designed to feel open and full of light, can be entered from any of its four sides, and readers can borrow artwork as well as books.
The Camel Library Service（North Eastern Province, Kenya）
To fight with low literacy rates in the desert of Kenya, the government created a roaming library composed of nine camels to bring books to villages. The library travels four days a week serving the region's migratory people. Currently the service focuses on children, but with more funding they plan to increase their reach both in distance and the titles they carry.
Macquarie University Library（Sydney, Australia）
A stunning combination of cutting edge and sustainable, this building was made from recycled materials, features a green roof, and was designed to imitate the look of a eucalyptus tree. It is also state of the art, using robot cranes to bring requested books to the front desk.
21. What is the feature of Kansas City Library?
A. It used to be a bank. B. It has only a book shelf.
C. It served as a park lot. D. It makes use of robot cranes.

A Georgia mom is winning praise for the way she's teaching her children, aged 13, 10 and 6, about money.
Shaketha MeGregor, a single mother in Dublin, Georgia, knew she needed a solution after frequent requests from her three kids for things like new toys and money to do things with their friends.
She came up with the unique idea to host a "job fair（就业展览会）” for her three children, Jahkeem, in seventh grade, Takeia, in fifth grade, and Serinity, in first grade. The three positions at the job fair were the kitchen manager, lead housekeeper and laundry supervisor. Children had to earn their pocket money by doing a job.
Jahkeem, Takeia and Serinity each picked the job they wanted to apply for, filled out the application and had interviews with their employer—their mom.
"My oldest and my youngest both applied for the lead housekeeper," McGregor said. "As to my 6-year-old daughter Serinity, I was more impressed with her application and her interview than my 13-year-old son Jahkeem."
“I want them to be familiar with the process when they are older," she said. "Whether they're applying to a school or for a new job, they can look back and say, "I did this with Mom years ago." As a parent you want to protect your children as much as possible, but you know that eventually they'll have to experience it on their own and a child's greatest lesson in life is going through the process.
MeGregor's post on Facebook where she shared her job fair idea now has more than 200,000 likes. She said she hoped it inspired other parents to think outside of the box and let their kids' voices be heard. "What I'm realizing is that kids just want to be part of something. The first-hand experience is the best way to educate children," McGregor said.
24. What do you know about McGregor's solution?
A. It is creative. B. It's uninteresting
C. It is strange. D. It's traditional.
25. How can Takeia get the new toy she wants according to the passage?
A. By doing housework. B. By behaving well.
C. By getting good marks. D. By listening to McGregor.
26. What can we infer from the result of the job fair?
A. Serinity was awarded a new toy.
B. Serinity got the position as a kitchen manager.
C. Takeia became the lead housekeeper at the fair.
D. Jahkeen didn't get the job he had applied for.
27. What do we know from the last paragraph?
A. Children should always listen to their parents views.
B. Parents should pay their children for anything.
C. MeGregor's post is well received online.
D. MeGregor's idea is suitable for all families.
C
Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I'm not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don't come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it'll require even more time, time that most people won't put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Consistent hard work won't ensure you the level of success you may want, but it will ensure that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
28. Paragraph 1mainly talks about__________.
A. the meaning of success B. the reasons for success
C. the standards of success D. the importance of success
29. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word "that" refers to__________.
A. setting a practical goal B. being good at something
C. putting in more time D. succeeding in life
30. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because__________.
A. it takes a lot of time to succeed B. work makes one feel pain
C. one gives up his work easily D. one tends to enjoy his work
31. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Successful people like to show their great skills.
B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
D
Israeli company Watergen has produced a device that generates clean, drinkable water out of air. The device called GENNY is small enough to be used in a home or office but can generate up to 30 liters of water a day. The water that GENNY produces is not only clean enough to drink, it's also often cleaner than tap water.
GENNY takes air in and passes it through a filter（过滤器）to remove dust and dirt. The filter is powerful enough to work even in areas with high air pollution. The air then passes through a chamber where heating and cooling cause water vapor in the air to condense（凝结）. This water is then passed through several more filters and minerals are added to make it healthier and taste better. Finally, the water is stored in a tank where it is continually circulated to keep it fresh.
A larger model, called the GEN-350, can produce up to 900 liters of water per day. The GEN-350 is now being used in hospitals that previously did not have a reliable source of fresh, clean water. Watergen has also developed an emergency response vehicle（ERV）that can carry a GEN-350 unit wherever it is needed. In addition to the GEN-350, the ERV carries a portable generator that supplies electricity for the GEN-350.
Watergen's ERV is designed to bring water to people suffering from the effects of a serious earthquake, fire, flood or other situations. Once such an incident occurred in California in 2018. A fire started at a camp site and spread quickly over a wide area, destroying many thousands of acres of trees and many homes. One of Watergen's ERVs was driven there and it provided water for its citizens and rescue workers. Besides, they also provided clean safe water for the residents of Texas and Florida in the aftermath of the devastation caused by hurricane's Harvey and Irma.
32. What can we know about Watergen's devices?
A. They're available in different sizes.
B. They're made in numerous countries.
C. They're extremely difficult to operate.
D. They produce less water in polluted regions.
33. The GENNY adds minerals to__________.
A. keep the water fresh and clean B. meet the water safety criteria
C. remove dust and dirt from the water D. improve the flavor of the water
34. What can Watergen do using its ERV?
A. Deal with customers' complaints. B. Outperform its competitors.
C. Supply electricity for local people. D. Respond to natural disasters.
35. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To advertise an Israeli company.
B. To introduce an Israeli water device.
C. To explain the principles of purifying water.
D. To recommend a new brand of drinking water.

The world's oceans reached their hottest level in recorded history last year, supercharging（加剧）extreme weather events, scientists have reported. They found that the five hottest recorded years in the oceans 61 （occur）since 2015, and that the rate of heating since 1986 was eight times higher than 62 from 1960. Oceans cover 71% of the planet and water can absorb thousands of times more heat than air, 63 is why 93% of global heating is taken up by seas.
Hotter oceans destroy rainfall patterns, which 64 （lead）to floods, droughts and wildfires. Heat also causes seawater 65 （expand）and drives up sea levels. Scientists expect about one metre of sea level rise by the end of the century, 66 （threaten）150 million people. Higher temperatures in the seas are also harming marine（海洋的）life, with 67 number of ocean heatwaves increasing 68 （sharp）.
The study also finds that the sinking of surface waters and upwelling of deeper water is reducing as the seas heat up. This means the surface layers heats up even further and fewer nutrients for marine life are brought up from the 69 （deep）.
"The oceans reached yet another new record level of warmth in 2020, 70 a record drop in global carbon emissions（排放）. The planet will continue to warm up as long as we emit carbon into the atmosphere," said Prof Michael Mann of Penn State University.

Time arrangement is an important skill to develop. If your time isn't well managed, your day can be full of demands and interruptions. On the other hand, if your time is well managed, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
To manage your time, first of all, you should spend some time planning your day every morning, listing your tasks in order of importance. Secondly, you should avoid interruptions as much as possible. When you're working on a task, try to focus your time and energy on it and complete it before getting up to do something else.
Follow the suggestions mentioned above, and you will surely make the most out of each day.

Some libraries use unique architecture to encourage visitors to explore the racks and settle down with a new book, or use flowing libraries to bring books to hard-to-reach populations.
Kansas City Library（Kansas City, Missouri）
Along the south wall of this parking garage's exterior, visitors are treated to what looks like a huge shelf of books. The building originally served as a bank, which is readily apparent when the library has screenings in its Vault Theater, inside an actual 1925 bank vault.
Stuttgart City Library（Stuttgart, Germany）
Opened in 2011, this nine-story public library designed by Eun Young Yi is characterized by its impressive white-on-white color scheme, its bold cubic shape and its cavernous interior. This cultural center for the city, designed to feel open and full of light, can be entered from any of its four sides, and readers can borrow artwork as well as books.
The Camel Library Service（North Eastern Province, Kenya）
To fight with low literacy rates in the desert of Kenya, the government created a roaming library composed of nine camels to bring books to villages. The library travels four days a week serving the region's migratory people. Currently the service focuses on children, but with more funding they plan to increase their reach both in distance and the titles they carry.
Macquarie University Library（Sydney, Australia）
A stunning combination of cutting edge and sustainable, this building was made from recycled materials, features a green roof, and was designed to imitate the look of a eucalyptus tree. It is also state of the art, using robot cranes to bring requested books to the front desk.
21. What is the feature of Kansas City Library?

A Georgia mom is winning praise for the way she's teaching her children, aged 13, 10 and 6, about money.
Shaketha MeGregor, a single mother in Dublin, Georgia, knew she needed a solution after frequent requests from her three kids for things like new toys and money to do things with their friends.
She came up with the unique idea to host a "job fair（就业展览会）” for her three children, Jahkeem, in seventh grade, Takeia, in fifth grade, and Serinity, in first grade. The three positions at the job fair were the kitchen manager, lead housekeeper and laundry supervisor. Children had to earn their pocket money by doing a job.
Jahkeem, Takeia and Serinity each picked the job they wanted to apply for, filled out the application and had interviews with their employer—their mom.
"My oldest and my youngest both applied for the lead housekeeper," McGregor said. "As to my 6-year-old daughter Serinity, I was more impressed with her application and her interview than my 13-year-old son Jahkeem."
“I want them to be familiar with the process when they are older," she said. "Whether they're applying to a school or for a new job, they can look back and say, "I did this with Mom years ago." As a parent you want to protect your children as much as possible, but you know that eventually they'll have to experience it on their own and a child's greatest lesson in life is going through the process.
MeGregor's post on Facebook where she shared her job fair idea now has more than 200,000 likes. She said she hoped it inspired other parents to think outside of the box and let their kids' voices be heard. "What I'm realizing is that kids just want to be part of something. The first-hand experience is the best way to educate children," McGregor said.
24. What do you know about McGregor's solution?
A. It is creative. B. It's uninteresting
C. It is strange. D. It's traditional.
25. How can Takeia get the new toy she wants according to the passage?
A. By doing housework. B. By behaving well.
C. By getting good marks. D. By listening to McGregor.
26. What can we infer from the result of the job fair?
A. Serinity was awarded a new toy.
B. Serinity got the position as a kitchen manager.
C. Takeia became the lead housekeeper at the fair.
D. Jahkeen didn't get the job he had applied for.
27. What do we know from the last paragraph?
A. Children should always listen to their parents views.
B. Parents should pay their children for anything.
C. MeGregor's post is well received online.
D. MeGregor's idea is suitable for all families.
C
Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I'm not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don't come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it'll require even more time, time that most people won't put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Consistent hard work won't ensure you the level of success you may want, but it will ensure that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
28. Paragraph 1mainly talks about__________.
A. the meaning of success B. the reasons for success
C. the standards of success D. the importance of success
29. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word "that" refers to__________.
A. setting a practical goal B. being good at something
C. putting in more time D. succeeding in life
30. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because__________.
A. it takes a lot of time to succeed B. work makes one feel pain
C. one gives up his work easily D. one tends to enjoy his work
31. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Successful people like to show their great skills.
B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
D
Israeli company Watergen has produced a device that generates clean, drinkable water out of air. The device called GENNY is small enough to be used in a home or office but can generate up to 30 liters of water a day. The water that GENNY produces is not only clean enough to drink, it's also often cleaner than tap water.
GENNY takes air in and passes it through a filter（过滤器）to remove dust and dirt. The filter is powerful enough to work even in areas with high air pollution. The air then passes through a chamber where heating and cooling cause water vapor in the air to condense（凝结）. This water is then passed through several more filters and minerals are added to make it healthier and taste better. Finally, the water is stored in a tank where it is continually circulated to keep it fresh.
A larger model, called the GEN-350, can produce up to 900 liters of water per day. The GEN-350 is now being used in hospitals that previously did not have a reliable source of fresh, clean water. Watergen has also developed an emergency response vehicle（ERV）that can carry a GEN-350 unit wherever it is needed. In addition to the GEN-350, the ERV carries a portable generator that supplies electricity for the GEN-350.
Watergen's ERV is designed to bring water to people suffering from the effects of a serious earthquake, fire, flood or other situations. Once such an incident occurred in California in 2018. A fire started at a camp site and spread quickly over a wide area, destroying many thousands of acres of trees and many homes. One of Watergen's ERVs was driven there and it provided water for its citizens and rescue workers. Besides, they also provided clean safe water for the residents of Texas and Florida in the aftermath of the devastation caused by hurricane's Harvey and Irma.
32. What can we know about Watergen's devices?
A. They're available in different sizes.
B. They're made in numerous countries.
C. They're extremely difficult to operate.
D. They produce less water in polluted regions.
33. The GENNY adds minerals to__________.
A. keep the water fresh and clean B. meet the water safety criteria
C. remove dust and dirt from the water D. improve the flavor of the water
34. What can Watergen do using its ERV?
A. Deal with customers' complaints. B. Outperform its competitors.
C. Supply electricity for local people. D. Respond to natural disasters.
35. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To advertise an Israeli company.
B. To introduce an Israeli water device.
C. To explain the principles of purifying water.
D. To recommend a new brand of drinking water.

The world's oceans reached their hottest level in recorded history last year, supercharging（加剧）extreme weather events, scientists have reported. They found that the five hottest recorded years in the oceans 61 （occur）since 2015, and that the rate of heating since 1986 was eight times higher than 62 from 1960. Oceans cover 71% of the planet and water can absorb thousands of times more heat than air, 63 is why 93% of global heating is taken up by seas.
Hotter oceans destroy rainfall patterns, which 64 （lead）to floods, droughts and wildfires. Heat also causes seawater 65 （expand）and drives up sea levels. Scientists expect about one metre of sea level rise by the end of the century, 66 （threaten）150 million people. Higher temperatures in the seas are also harming marine（海洋的）life, with 67 number of ocean heatwaves increasing 68 （sharp）.
The study also finds that the sinking of surface waters and upwelling of deeper water is reducing as the seas heat up. This means the surface layers heats up even further and fewer nutrients for marine life are brought up from the 69 （deep）.
"The oceans reached yet another new record level of warmth in 2020, 70 a record drop in global carbon emissions（排放）. The planet will continue to warm up as long as we emit carbon into the atmosphere," said Prof Michael Mann of Penn State University.

Time arrangement is an important skill to develop. If your time isn't well managed, your day can be full of demands and interruptions. On the other hand, if your time is well managed, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
To manage your time, first of all, you should spend some time planning your day every morning, listing your tasks in order of importance. Secondly, you should avoid interruptions as much as possible. When you're working on a task, try to focus your time and energy on it and complete it before getting up to do something else.
Follow the suggestions mentioned above, and you will surely make the most out of each day.
