Terence Crowster started the Hot—Spot Library, after appealing for donations on Facebook, in Scottsville, South Africa in 2017. Based out of two aging metal shipping containers, it may not look like your conventional library. On winter days, rain leaks through holes in the roof and drips down onto the tables and bookshelves. But for the residents of Scottsville, a neighborhood torn apart by drug abuse and gang violence, it offers a safe space to escape the severe realities of daily life and to explore different worlds in the pages of thousands of donated second-hand books.

What eventually inspired Crowster to launch his project, he says, was visiting schools and witnessing firsthand South Africa's problem with literacy. While according to UNESCO, nearly 90% of South Africans can read and write, this statistic masks a worrying trend—the percentage of children who can "read for meaning", instead of simply being able to recognize words, is extremely low. A recent study found that just 22% of Grade 4 students could effectively read for meaning.

At the Hot-Spot Library, Crowster has carried out a system of book reviews to ensure that his young members are indeed reading for meaning. A borrower who returns a volume must fill out a review form, which the librarians store in folders. "I like that Peter saves the people," wrote one reviewer after returning a copy of Peter Pan. "I don't like Captain Hook because he is rude with people." Such are the morals that Crowster hopes his young readers will internalize.

With only a membership of 30 in its first year, today the library has over 700 members. "It takes me to a place in my mind where I can just relax and live in the book," says Abigail Cloete, who joined in a month ago, "Right now I'm in Hawaii," she jokes, pulling a small red copy of Heartbeat in Hawaii out of her bag.

24. What's the Hot-Spot Library like?

A. Well-furnished.             B. Poorly-equipped.

C. Specially-decorated.         D. Traditionally-designed.

25. What motivated Crowster to start the project?

A. Severe violence in the schools.          B. UNESCO's inspiring statistics.

C. Donations from local communities.      D. The children's problem with literacy.

26. Why are book reviews required in the library?

A. To help librarians arrange the folders.        B. To collect the borrowers' information.

C. To lead the readers to read for meaning.      D. To let people know what a book review is.

27. What can be inferred about Abigail Cloete?

A. She finds relief in reading.        B. She is very sociable.

C. She enjoys travelling abroad.      D. She is quite adventurous.

C

Most hospitals don't have a canal to collect rainwater. That's one of the unusual features that earned a major architecture honor—the 2021 RIBA International Prize—for Friendship Hospital, an 80-bed rural community hospital in Bangladesh.

T'he hospital uses an innovative canal system to collect extra rainwater and store it so that it can be used later. The prize's jury（评审团）felt that the hospital's canal worked well to respond to the local environment's frequent rains.

Judges noted the hospital was built using local low-cost building materials! "It is a demonstration of how beautiful architecture can be achieved through good design when working with a relatively modest budget." Decq wrote. The Royal Institute of British Architects awards the prize every two years to a building that “exemplifies design excellence and architectural ambition and delivers meaningful social impact."

Designed by Bangladeshi architect Kashef and completed in 2018, the hospital is run by the nonprofit group Friendship, which works with communities in rural Bangladesh to respond to issues such as lack of access to vital services and climate change.

Friendship Hospital was located in the southern region of Bangladesh. Its relationship with rainwater was a key element in the prize. Its major design feature is a canal that goes along the length of the hospital, separating the outpatient building from the building for inpatient services. The canal collects rainwater from the site, which is then stored in a tank so that it can be used by the hospital.

Architect Chowdhury hopes the award will inspire people to commit to architecture that cares for humans and nature.

28. What contributed most to Friendship Hospital's winning the Prize?

A. An extraordinary size.        B. A modest budget.

C. A creative canal system.       D. An attractive appearance

29. What does the underlined word "exemplifies" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. Make a profit on.           B. Give an instruction to.

C. Serve as an example of.      D. Follow the illustration of.

30. What can be learned about Friendship Hospital?

A. It is located in the northern region.               B. It is a splendid architecture in history.

C. Its canal works well to respond to emergency.      D. It's economically and environmentally friendly.

31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?

A. A Low-cost Canal System Was Used       B. A Nonprofit Group Created A Wonder

C. A Great Architect Made An Innovation     D. A Countryside Hospital Was Awarded Prize

D

Pupils are small holes located in the centre of the eye. They change size to control the amount of light that enters the eye based on how much is available in the environment. The response of our pupils to light is a basic sensory response, but pupils have been found to change size based on factors other than light.

Researchers hypothesized（假想）that pupils may also change size based on the number of objects that a person sees in their environment. "When we look around, we naturally perceive the form, size, movement and color of a scene. Equally naturally, we notice the number of items before us," said study co-author David Burr, "This ability, shared with most other animals, is an evolutionary（进化的）fundamental. It immediately reveals important quantities, such as how many apples there are on the tree, or how many enemies are attacking."

To figure out if this ability lies within the pupils, the researchers presented 16 adult participants with images of dots on a monitor in an otherwise quiet, dark room. As the participants stared at the screen, without being asked to count the dots, a machine measured their pupil sizes. The researchers found that the size of the participants' pupils changed depending on how many dots they perceived. The participants' pupils expanded, when they perceived a greater number of dots and constricted when they perceived fewer.

The findings suggest that the pupil is equipped with some mechanism that can sense quantity. "This result shows that numerical information is intrinsically（本质上）related to perception," said Elisa Castaldi, a researcher at the University of Pisa. "This could have, important practical implications." For example, similar methods could be employed to detect dyscalculia, a learning disability that makes people have trouble doing maths, in very young children.

32. Why does David Burr mention "apples" and "enemies" in Paragraph 2?

A. To clarify a concept.        B. To introduce a rule.

C. To make a comparison.      D. To present a theory.

33. What were the 16 participants asked to do?

A. Stare at the monitor.          B. Present images of the dots.

C. Measure their pupil size.       D. Count the number of the dots.

34. What is the function of the pupils according to the text?

A. To reflect light.      B. To sense quantity.      C. To change eye sizes.      D. To enhance colors.

35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A. The mechanism of pupils to sense quantity.

B. The relation between numbers and perception.

C. The potential use in pupils' perception of numbers.

D. The detection of children's learning disability in math.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Choosing a perfect topic for your essay is a very important step in writing and you might be lost and terrified not knowing what to start from.   36   You can get inspiration for choosing a topic for your essay even while watching TV or looking through updates of your friends on Facebook and Twitter. You can also use a quotation from your favorite book or a life motto of your favorite leader. The key here is to be creative.

   37   That should be something you are interested in. This subject must be appropriate to the purpose of your essay.

One of the best ways to get some good ideas is brainstorming. Just write down first subjects that come to your mind on a piece of paper.   38   Then evaluate each subject by giving it certain points. Hence, the one which is the most appealing to you wins. After that part is done, it's necessary to check your topic one more time.   39   For example, if you have named a topic "Egypt", it can work only if you are writing an overview paper, but if you are about to write a specific analysis, you need to make sure you have chosen something narrow enough, like "Art of ancient Egypt" or "Politics in Egypt".

Using these simple tips, you can quickly find one perfect essay idea and get the creative process started. The better your topic is, the easier it will be to write your essay.   40   

A. Read as much as possible.

B. Find a subject that suits you.

C. Keep asking: Is it interesting or boring?

D. Try to make that idea list as long as possible.

E. Ask yourself: is it specific enough or is it too general?

F. It is halfway done when you have an idea what to write about.

G. However, great essay ideas can be found everywhere so don't panic.

You're Never Too Old to Learn

The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I'd say that he had about 40 years on his classmates in my class at California State University Los Angeles. He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students' viewpoints, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one too.

"These students gave me the confidence that I didn't need to feel bad about my age," Valencia says.

One day, I spotted Valencia on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that term and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money from construction jobs and have his student-loan papers in order. But he said he was still coming to campus to attend events or see friends. He asked whether he could still sit in on my class.

Sure, I said. But he wouldn't get any credit.

No problem, he said.

Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, front and center, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a 63-year-old junior with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class.

A lot of Valencia's classmates apparently knew he couldn't afford that term's tuition but was still doing the homework.

"Here he is, willingly taking a class for the joy of it and benefit of learning," says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior. "You don't see that in our generation."

Valencia showed up and took the final exam too. Afterward, students were chatting, and I happened to hear Valencia say he wanted to stay in school until he earned a master's degree, and before that it had taken him 12 years to finish college.

Twelve years?

I needed to hear more.

An English Drama Competition

An English drama competition was successfully held in our school hall on May 4th.

Aimed at encouraging English learning and application, the competition covered varieties of forms, ranging from new plays to classics or adapted ones. Great numbers of students took a keen interest and got actively involved in it. Not only did it offer a platform to show our talents, but got us immersed in the charm of English drama.

It's hoped that such activities would be held more often in the future.
