What began as a summer job has now taken young Brennan McVey to the steps of the Rockaway Township Municipal building and the mayor's (镇长的) office. Known by his neighbors and the township as the "Rubbish Bin Manager", McVey was given a special mention during the regular Rockaway Township Council meeting on October 25, for his work to help his neighbors and prevent unwanted run-ins with the local bear population. "Our children are our future, and when a child can respond to needs by making a decision that gives a community a chance to improve its quality of life, it represents a great moment for our township. McVey is a shining example of a positive person," Mayor Michael Dachisen read to the public.
The 10-year-old Green Pond boy had an idea in 2016 of helping to stop bears in his neighborhood from becoming endangered "troublemakers" by helping his neighbors take out the rubbish the morning of its pickup.
McVey, who is a fifth-grader at Katherine D. Malone Elementary School, noticed that some of his neighbors would leave the rubbish out the night before, an open invitation to bears. "I saw a lot of bears in the neighborhood and I thought I could help," he said. On collection day, McVey gets up early in the morning and heads to the houses of the neighbors who agreed to pay a small fee to have the young businessman bring out their rubbish to the curb (路缘).
"We had a lot of bear sightings in our community. This is one way to stop the bears from coming in by keeping the food source out of their way," the mayor added.
McVey has turned the Rubbish Bin Manager into a business, posting fliers (传单) around Green Pond, and his neighborhood has really taken to the idea.
24. What can we infer about McVey from the first paragraph?
A. He really loves bears. B. He is well recognized.
C. He is thankful for Dachisen's work. D. He has always been willing to take a summer job.
25. Why does McVey pick up the rubbish on collection day?
A. To make money. B. To leave food for bears.
C. To protect the environment. D. To help bears and the community.
26. What did McVey’s neighbors think of his business?
A. It was great. B. It was too risky for him.
C. It went against a lot of old ideas. D. It would stay popular for a short time.
27. Which of the following can best describe McVey?
A. Brave and strict. B. Talkative and sporty.
C. Humorous and open-minded. D. Caring and warm-hearted.
C
Nearly 1,000 years ago, the great Mongol leader Genghis Khan created the largest land empire in history. To do this, he required a huge army. One of his many challenges was to be able to keep in touch with his soldiers. He created a postal system with stations set 30-40 kilometres apart. At each postal station were Mongolian horses and riders. Riders would cross the empire carrying messages, changing horses at each station.
Mongolia is one of the loneliest places in the world. The local horses are not as big as most horses you usually see. They are short, yet exceptionally strong. They are also able to run for long distances in any kind of weather. In Mongolia, temperatures can -be as low as minus 40 or as high as plus 30 degrees Celsius. Nothing seems to worry them.
Every August, a very special horse race called the Mongol Derby takes place in Mongolia. Over ten days, 40 riders race over a 1,000-kilometre course. To take part, riders have to apply. All applications are carefully reviewed. Invitations are sent out to those considered to be strong enough for this long-distance race. Each successful applicant has to pay an entry (参赛) fee.
Before the race begins, riders are given two days of training. Each morning, the riders set off early. They will race to different horse stations where they will be able to change their horse before continuing. At the end of each day, a camp is provided. There arc no beds but each tired rider falls down onto a sheet on the ground and quickly falls into a deep sleep.
Up to 400 Mongolian hunting families come to work during the race, helping to look after the horses and riders. On the final day, there is just one winner. In 2019, the Mongol Derby was won by a 70-year-old American, Bob Long. He raced for 100 hours in 7.5 days on 28 different horses. You may think that his age provided him with the experience to win, but in 2013, Lara Prior-Palmer was the winner. She was just 19 years old.
28. Why did Genghis Khan build a postal system?
A. To train his soldiers. B. To know the world better.
C. To have good control over his army. D. To create a close relationship with his family.
29. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The wildlife of Mongolia. B. The success of Mongol leaders.
C. The terrible weather in Mongolia. D. The advantages of Mongolian horses.
30. What can we learn about the Mongol Derby?
A. It usually lasts a week. B. It is really challenging and tiring.
C. It charges every applicant an entry fee. D. It is a competition among Mongolian families.
31. Why does the author mention Lara Prior-Palmer?
A. To congratulate the youngest winner. B. To give practical advice to applicants.
C. To show experience may not be everything. D. To explain that little people can make a big difference.

"I hope my technology can help the blind to live independently." On the afternoon of May 13, Dr. Chieko Asakawa, an IBM computer scientist, shared her life experience and her research with students in the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen). Asakawa began losing her eyesight after an accident and was totally blind by the age of 14. Since the 1980s, she has devoted herself to helping blind people to live a better life with the help of modern technology.
Asakawa was bom a normal child, but she became blind at age 14 due to a swimming accident at age 11. In the 1980s, she was a lead developer in digital books. This system allows blind people to read newspapers and books to better understand the world.
Three years ago, Dr. Asakawa began to work on cognitive assistant (认知辅助) research. NavCog is one of the applications developed by the team. It uses current sensors (电流传感器) and cognitive technologies to locate users' position, determine their facing directions and get other information about the surrounding environment by "talking" into their ears through earphones. Researchers are exploring more possibilities, such as detecting approaching people. She hopes people with disabilities like her can give a presentation on stage without any assistance.
Dr. Asakawa and her team want to develop new technology for a wide range of situations － shopping malls, airports, hospitals, etc. She hopes this technology can also be used by normal people － a Take Me Ilome app for the elderly who get lost, for example.
Dr. Asakawa studied English literature in college. After she joined IBM, she earned a Ph.D. degree from the University of Tokyo after three years' study.
One student asked Dr. Asakawa how she.dealt with the difficulties of changing from English literature to computer science. She replied that she studied from 9 p.m. to midnight every day including weekends and worked the rest of the time. Dr. Asakawa told the students that everything is possible if you don't give up.
32. What can be learned about Chieko Asakawa?
A. She became disabled as a college student. B. She was born with poor eyesight.
C. She wrote books for blind people. D. She went blind in her teens.
33. What does Chieko Asakawa expect of her cognitive assistant technology?
A. It will locate lost things. B. It will be applied in various surroundings.
C. It will help normal people keep fit. D. It will help users become familiar with blind people's life.
34. What advice does Chieko Asakawa give to students?
A. Never give up. B. Be prepared for the future.
C. Treasure what we have. D. Treat the disabled nicely.
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Let the blind "see" the real world B. How the Internet has changed everyday life
C. How Chieko Asakawa "survived" an accident D. Exploring the importance of modern technology

E
Putting a few of these tips into daily practice can help you become a better learner.
Keep learning and practicing new things.
A 2003 Nature article reported that people who learned how to juggle (玩杂耍) increased the amount of gray matter (脑灰质) in their occipital lobes, the area of the brain connected with visual (视觉的) memory. When these people stopped practicing their new skill, this gray matter disappeared. _______36_______
Learn in many ways.
_______37_______ Instead of just listening to a podcast (播客), find a way to go over the information both verbally and visually. By learning in various ways, you' re more likely to keep the knowledge in your mind.
Teach what you've learned to another person.
By sharing it with the rest of the class, perhaps your teacher hoped you would gain even more from your homework. You can apply the same idea by sharing your newly learned knowledge with others. Start by putting the information into your own words. _______38_______ Some ideas include writing a blog post, creating a podcast, or taking part in a group discussion.
_______39_______
While seeing information and then writing it down is important, actually putting new knowledge and skills into practice can be one of the best ways to improve learning. If you are trying to develop a new skill or ability, center on gaining practical experience.
Understand how you learn best.
Another great way of improving your teaming is to recognize your habits and styles. The idea of teaming styles has been the subject of considerable criticism (批判). _______40_______

C. Next, find some way to share what you've learned.
D. Look up answers rather than struggle to remember.
E. Taking tests actually helps. you better remember what you've learned.
P. So if you're learning a new language, it is important to keep practicing.

Lisa woke up on Saturday morning very excited. Today she was turning 10. She thought her mother would make her a special breakfast. Last year on her birthday, Lisa woke up to the smell of pancakes and sausage cooking. The kitchen table was full of fresh fruit and juice, and her family had even bought lots of fresh flowers to put on the table.
But when she went downstairs this morning, her father, mother and brother were eating cereal (麦片) at the table, just like any other day. No one even said “Happy birthday.”
When the phone rang and her mother announced that Lisa’s aunt wanted to speak with her, she knew that it must be to wish her the best on her 10th birthday. But to Lisa’s surprise, her aunt simply wanted to remind her to pick up her mail the next week while her aunt was out of town.
Lisa was quite confused. She thought that her family would say something about her special day, but she didn’t want to seem upset. She tried to be cheerful. After all, she was looking forward to meeting her friends in the park soon. Surely they were going to be excited about her birthday.
When Lisa arrived at the park, her friend Jane was the first to greet her. “Nice day, isn’t it, Lisa?” she asked.
Lisa, ready for her friend to wish her a happy birthday, responded excitedly, “Yes, it is! It’s a great day. You know why?”
“Because it’s Saturday and the weather is great!” Jane replied.
Lisa nodded, but looked down in disappointment.
Soon the rest of her friends arrived, and they all had a good time playing soccer and spending time together. But Lisa couldn’t help but think that it was strange that none of them had mentioned her birthday.
As she walked home in the late afternoon sun, Lisa tried her best not to cry. How could everyone forget her birthday? She was close to tears by the time she reached her home.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
On stepping in, Lisa was quite surprised.____________________________________

参考范文：
With the quick development of science and technology, our way of life has been changing all the time．
My grandmother told me that she usually covered a long distance to a small shop in town to buy goods．Later, supermarkets have been opened in our town, so my mother would like to go shopping in a supermarket near my house because it is very convenient．In recent years, online shopping has become popular．Many young people prefer to buy what they like online．I often buy books, clothes, and other things online．
I think, in the future, we can let robots do the shopping for us, and maybe those things we need can be selected carefully and sent to us quicker than now．

参考范文：
On stepping in, Lisa was quite surprised. The living room was beautifully decorated, yet nobody was in sight. Before Lisa realized it, an excited shout came, “A surprise”. People crowded from behind the door, sofa and cupboard. Lisa saw her mother, father, brother, aunt, Jane and other friends she just said goodbye to standing around her, all laughing. “They all remember my birthday!” thought Lisa. Instantly, she felt her eyes a little wet. On the table lay a lovely birthday cake and her aunt was signaling all to gather around.
When the birthday candles were lit, the warmest moment came. Everyone sent best wishes to Lisa heartily and gifts began to pile up in her arms. Then came the birthday song sung gently together. In the soft candlelight, every smiling face was so touching. Looking around, Lisa felt a strong feeling arise, and that was happiness. “ How happy I am! I’m so blessed to have so many people to love me” Lisa thought. Tears welled up into her eyes again.
