Ray is a physical education teacher at Central Algoma Secondary School. This year, most of their classes were remote due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

One day, Ray was talking to his daughter Sadie, who was set to graduate. The school was planning to have teachers hand-deliver diplomas(毕业证) to each student's home, but Sadie asked her dad if she could receive hers on a nearby outdoor stage instead.

“I said, ‘Sure, I'll do that’. No problem. Is there anybody else who would like to receive their diploma on the stage?’”Ray said. “And she said, ‘Yeah, everybody would like to get their diploma on the stage.’”

Moved, the creative dad got to work to make it happen — not just for his daughter, but for all of the graduating seniors! He spent about six hours one weekend building a portable stage that he could pull behind his truck. He then got permission from the school, and they eagerly agreed to help make his mobile graduation mission a success.

“It's such an important event for so many people.... It was almost like the first win that we've had in a year and a half after being beaten down,” Ray said. “We finally get to do this one thing that we'll remember for the rest of our lives.”

Over the course of two days in late June, Ray traveled over 250 miles to give 72 graduates their big moment!

Joel Lamoureux was one student who received his diploma on the portable stage. His mom, Krissie Lamoureux said the experience felt relaxed and easy while still providing an important photo opportunity for this milestone in their lives.

“It was extremely personal,” she added. “It's really hard as a parent to watch your child graduate from a distance and not be able to really be a part of anything.”

All of the students were grateful to Ray and the school for creating a safe way to celebrate their accomplishments.

24. What inspired Ray to create the stage?

A. The COVID-19 pandemic.     B. His daughter's hope.

C. The school's permission.     D. The graduates' request.

25. What can we infer from Ray's words in Paragraph 5?

A. He has won the competition.    B. He has experienced many failures.

C. His work is highly thought of.    D. His work is of great significance.

26. What's Krissie Lamoureux's feeling about Ray's stage?

A. Satisfied.   B. Jealous.   C. Appreciative.  D. Comfortable.

27. What’s the best title of this text?

A. A Teacher Builds a Portable Stage   B. A Different Celebration Is on Show

C. A Personal Work Gains Popularity   D. A Teacher Helps Deliver Diplomas

C

A University College London study looked at car use to conclude that cities have to become car-free to survive. Simply put, if we don't reduce the number of cars in our cities then they will just completely clog up and stop moving.

The study notes the number of cars is actually increasing faster than that of people. In 2019, 80 million cars were built while the population increased by 78 million. And the mass production of those cars was responsible for 4% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions (排放) ,which is bigger than aviation (航空) and that's before you even fuel them up.

The study authors construct a mathematical model, and residents choose driving their car or taking public transport on the basis of the time it takes to do the trip. “All individuals decide their commuting (通勤) mode trying to reduce their costs, but the result is the overall worst-case situation, where the average commuting time is longer and all people decide to use their car.” write the authors of the study.

Besides, policymakers tend to construct even more car infrastructure (基础设施) and invest even more in private cars, which then encourages more private vehicle use and results in even more traffic jams.

Possible solutions have to be actively encouraged, with more travel options, plus local shops and services. Also, increasing the costs could be achieved by reducing the space devoted to cars, with more public transport lanes, wider sidewalks, and pedestrian(步行者) roads, for example.

Dr. Humberto, one author of the study said: “If our goal is to have more liveable and developed cities then we must take part of this land and give it to other modes of transportation: walking, cycling and public transport.

28. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “clog up” ?

A. Turn down.    B. Break down.  C. Make troubles.   D. Get stuck.

29. What can we infer from the numbers in Paragraph 2?

A. The number of cars is larger than population.

B. Car production creates more CO2 than aviation.

C. CO2 emission is rarely affected by car production.

D. Global CO2 emission is more serious than expected.

30. What result do study authors get from their model?

A. It is hard for people to keep a balance.   B. It takes more time to drive cars to work.

C. More cars can be used to save time.    D. Driving cars can keep the cost down.

31. What can be a possible way to reduce car use?

A. Building parking lots.       B. Saving land for cars.

C. Producing less cars.       D. Riding a bus to work.

D

A company called Neuralink has shared a video which shows a monkey playing a video game. That's fairly unusual, but what makes the video even stranger is that the monkey is playing the video game with just its mind.

Neuralink owned by Elon Musk is working to develop devices that could allow People to control things using just their brains. It sounds like something from a science fiction movie, but it is already showing progress in doing similar work with other animals.

The monkey is called Pager, who has two of Neuralink's special “Link" devices inside his brain, planted by a surgeon. These devices are connected to 2,048 wires which lead to the parts of Pager's brain that control movements of the arms and hands. In the experiment, scientists taught Pager to play a video game.

Firstly, Pager controlled the video game using a joystick, which is a normal gaming controller. But as Pager played, his Link devices wirelessly sent out information about the signals his brain was using to control his arms and hands. Scientists recorded all of these signals.

Then they used computers to match up the signals from Pager's brain to the movements that his hands were actually doing. This was challenging work and the scientists counted on AI to help them decode (解码) Pager's brain signals.

The final step was to have a computer make moves in the video game as if Pager had actually moved the joystick. If Pager thought about moving the joystick up, the computer would send an “up" signal to the video game.

Even though Neuralink's work now focuses on animals and video games, there's a very serious purpose behind it. Neuralink wants to make it possible for humans who have lost the ability to control their bodies to communicate with the world. Mr. Musk says that in the near future Neauralink hopes to allow a paralyzed(瘫痪的) person to control a smartphone just by thinking, He believes they'll be able to do it faster than those who are using their hands.

32. Why does the author mention the video in paragraph 1?

A. To advertise a well-known video game.   B. To show the unusual hobby of monkeys.

C. To give an update on the progress of a research. D. To introduce a way to improve animals' intelligence.

33.Which of the following is a tough step in Neuralink's experiment?

A. Getting Pager to keep pace with the Link devices.

B. Teaching Pager to play a video game with a joystick.

C. Understanding the connection between Pager's brain signals and hand movements.

D. Recording all the brain signals Pager sends to his hands.

34. What is Mr.Musk's attitude towards the future of Neuralink's work?

A. Uncertain.      B. Doubtful.     C. Cautious.    D. Confident.

35. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Neuralink Explores the Field of Mind-Controlling 

B. Elon Musk: A Super Ambitious Businessman

C. Monkey Plays Video Games with His Hands  

D. The Paralyzed Control Their Bodies by Thinking

How to Teach kids About Setting Goals

  36   It can become an easy process for a lifetime if kids are taught goal setting at an early stage. They need to be offered a project to make them work on accomplishing something personal.

Set smart goals. A goal needs to be measurable, specific, realistic and timely in order to be effective. Kids prefer generalizing(泛化)when it comes to goal setting. For example, one may want to be the best basketball player in the team.   37  What exactly does a goal like this mean? You need to ask them to be specific. Begin with scoring two baskets in each game (or however many; just something measurable!) so that they can continuously push the barriers to accomplish greater goals.

Write down goals.   38   Recent studies show that when goals are written down, the individual is more likely to achieve them.

   39  Kids have the habit of choosing goals that just seem impossible to achieve. You need to teach them the concepts of short and long-term goals and give your child reality checks.

Set up review points. You can ask them to write their main goal on the poster and mention the steps they would take for attaining their goal.   40   It is important to help your children have their own checkpoint systems that actually work for them.

A. Goals can be accomplished unless they are written down.

B. This tip is supported by science as well.

C. How is a goal like this measured?

D. Ask them to track their progress once a week or month.

E. Face goals that are not realistic.

F. Is it a really big goal?

G. It is essential for everybody, especially for kids, to set goals in life.
