A British woman, Dr. Mantri, growing up in India started to notice his son, Dhruv, was struggling with simple arithmetic when he was in fifth-grade. After noticing this, she started employing an abacus (算盘) to help her son visually comprehend mathematics.

“I would ask him something like 35 minus 13 and he couldn’t do it.” said Dhruv’s mom Dr. Mantri. “I decided to change the way he looked at numbers,” she said. “An abacus is a tried and tested method, and the Egyptians used them for building the pyramid.” In just six days he started to show progress with the abacus and would go on to become a whizz kid with numbers, with even his classmates’ parents reaching out for help.

She never thought she would teach her son using an abacus, which she used as a child in India and it was always helpful. Within six days she started to notice a difference and see results. So dramatic was the turnaround, that school staff asked him to perform with the abacus at an assembly, where some parents even came to ask for advice on using it for their kids.

IT specialist Dr. Mantri said the humble abacus can be used for calculations into the trillions and kids enjoy learning on it because it’s like a game. “It becomes a playing tool for younger children, for it feels like a game. I think the success comes because children can touch and feel an abacus and visualize them.” She added.

By the age of 12, Dhruv was giving online cyber security seminars and is now pursuing a career in data science and analytics. Dhruv has now landed an apprenticeship (实习) at an international firm. During the four-year apprenticeship, he will spend one day a week studying Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Glasgow Caledonian University. “He is so confident now and I am so proud,” she said, with Dhruv adding “I don’t think my teachers would have guessed that I would be following a career in data science at that time.”

24.Why did Dhruv have difficulty in learning mathematics?

A.He was faced with language barrier. B.He didn’t find a proper way.

C.He suffered from eyesight problems. D.He lacked academic support from the family.

25.What does the underlined word “whizz” in paragraph 2 mean?

A.Careful. B.Diligent. C.Outstanding. D.Struggling.

26.Why do kids like learning on abacus according to the text?

A.They find it appealing. B.They can calculate faster.

C.They enjoy playing games. D.They are eager for success.

27.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Dhruv was addicted to the internet at 12.

B.Dhruv is teaching data science and analytics now.

C.Dhruv is a full-time student at Glasgow Caledonian University.

D.Dhruv’s career choice was beyond his teachers’ expectation.

Lawns (草坪). They’re part of American life. Over a century, from around the 1870s to the 1970s, Americans slowly fell in love with lawns. Lawns were a sign of taste,calm,power and order,especially after World War II. Over the past 50 years, we’ve slowly fallen out of love with lawns. They began to signal waste,disregard and disagreement.

“Wasn’t there something a bit wasteful about millions of Americans applying millions of pounds of fertilizer and pouring millions of gallons of water on the ground to grow something you couldn’t eat unless you were a Jersey cow?” wrote Ellen Goodman in the Boston Globe way back in 1977.

However,we are still,largely,lawn people. The biggest irrigated (灌溉的) crop, by area, in the United States? Not corn or soybeans or potatoes, but lawns. Unproductive, decorative lawn: around 40 million acres of it, or 2%of the land area of the whole country，according to estimates cited by Garik Gutman,program manager for NASA’s Land-Cover/Land-Use Change Program.

Forty million acres: The entire state of Georgia couldn’t contain America’s total lawn area. And we pour 9 billion gallons of water on landscaping every day,according to the Environmental Protection Organization. Meanwhile,the southwestern United States is suffering a serious drought; the past two decades have been its driest period since the year 800. In a world thirsty for water,lawns actually take up too much water.

Now we have TikTok hashtags (话题标签) such as anti-lawn, which might direct you to a performance of an anti-lawn song by a 27-year-old Nashville musician named Mel Bryant. “At the time,all of my neighbors were crazy about their lawns,”says Bryant，who wrote the song on Earth Day 2020.“Everyone was cutting grass,every day. At any point in time you’d hear lawn grass cutting machines going. And it drove me crazy. I still have this one neighbor who,I promise,on the Fourth of July was cutting grass at 7:30 pm. What are you doing,man? This can wait.”

28.What can best describe Americans’ attitude towards lawns?

A.Cautious. B.Changeable.

C.Uninterested. D.Conventional.

29.What is the most irrigated crop in America?

A.Corn. B.Soybeans. C.Potatoes. D.Lawns.

30.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A.Reasons for poor lawn growth.

B.The consequences of droughts.

C.Measures for drought prevention.

D.Too much water consumption on lawns.

31.What message might Mel Bryant convey in his song?

A.Opposition to lawns.

B.Enthusiasm for gardening.

C.Desire for freedom.

D.Doubts about holiday traditions.

Few would question that arts, in its massive forms and media, are like a mirror that reflects the social, cultural, economic or even political situation of a society of a particular era. However, beyond being simply an illustration of the human condition, arts can be vital in pushing the country forward culturally and economically.

Without doubt, arts are important for the progress of society. They enable individuals to develop on the whole and deepen the social ties in communities by gathering people to create, experience and enjoy art together, which can be seen from traditional ethnic dances to interactive theatre performanccs. Beyond material wants and needs, human beings find fulfilment in experiencing and expressing things of remarkable value through arts. Meanwhile, strong citizens’ participation in arts also strengthens the social fabric of a nation.

Moreover, arts enable a nation to progress in human rights and values. As powerful media that are able to stir hearts and cause reflection, arts can speak up the human voice of criticism sharply and clearly in times of crisis, and call upon society to seek the common good. It is evident that arts, which express human values and emotions, can constitute a profound way of promoting human dignity and additionally, form the barrier of the ethical and moral life of society.

More often than not, a booming arts scene may not narrow the rich-poor divide. It’s not hard to see that in a highly competitive world, it is essential for govemments to prioritize the development of a strong workforce and the building of sustainable industries. However, arts may well complement (补充) economic policies as arts encourage individuals to exercise creativity. As Albert Einstein stated, imagination is more important than knowledge. While knowledge and professional skills may stimulate a country’s development, the ability to innovate and think out of the box may be valuable to a society facing ever new and unpredictable challenges.

While the importance of arts may differ from country to country, depending on its economic circumstances and the socio-political issues, the importance of arts to the progress of a nation should not be overlooked.

32.What’s the first paragraph mainly about?

A.The forms of arts.

B.The functions of arts.

C.The definition of arts.

D.The development of arts.

33.How do arts influence human rights and values?

A.By reflecting humans’ views.

B.By pointing out the common good.

C.By giving people a sense of fulfilment.

D.By forming the moral standard of society.

34.Why is Albert Einstein mentioned in paragraph 4?

A.To praise Albert Einstein’s achievements.

B.To call on humans to remember our history.

C.To stress the importance of arts in creativity.

D.To show the necessity of knowledge and skills.

35.What will the author probably agree with?

A.Arts serve as the major influence in values.

B.Arts play a part in the progress of a country.

C.Arts should aim at strengthening social bonds.

D.Arts can bridge the gap between rich and poor.

Dusty, the Wonder Dog

When I was a kid, my godparents, Uncle Nell and Aunt Frances, brought me a four-month-old puppy. She was half German shepherd，half collie. As her pink tongue tickled(挠痒)my face with wet licks,it was love at first hug.

My family named the puppy Dusty. Although I wanted to lay sole claim to her affection,in a family of seven kids, no one lays permanent claim to the family pet.

Dusty was our dog, not “my” dog. We soon realized that she had the patience of Buddha. My baby sister often transformed Dusty’s warm fur into a nap-time pillow-falling asleep on the rug. Like a protective mother, Dusty waited-without moving-until my sister woke.

Dusty doubled as a school crossing guard, too. Monday through Friday she’d walk us kids two blocks to St. Patrick’s Parochial, looking both ways to check for traffic before allowing us to cross the street. We’d wave good-bye as we entered the door, knowing Dusty would be waiting at the school door to claim us at the close of the school day.

Of all the contributions Dusty made to our family, one incident stands out far and above all others. Late one night Dusty rushed to my parents’ bedroom. She barked and barked. When she got no response, Dusty raced upstairs to my bedroom and my brothers’ bedroom and barked again and again. When she failed to fully wake us, she flew back down the steps and retimed to my parents’ room. Finally, she got Mom’s attention.

“What are you doing, Dusty?” Mom snapped, still halfway in dreamland. Dusty persisted. Finally my mother gave in. “Okay, what is it?”

Dusty whined(哀嚎)and rushed out of Mom’s room. Thinking the dog needed to be let out to relieve herself, my mother followed Dusty to the front door.

When Mom opened the door to let her out, Dusty tore across the street, not stopping to do her business as my mother had assumed. Then she discovered what Dusty already knew.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

The house across the street, where my best friend Marianne lived, was on fire.
