Mrs. Thompson was a primary school teacher. As she stood in front of 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told her students that she loved them all the same.
But that was impossible because Teddy Stoddard sat in the front row. Mrs. Thompson saw the little boy at school the year before. She noticed that he didn’t play well with other children. His clothes were always messy and he needed a bath. Teddy could be unpleasant.
So, she was surprised when she read Teddy’s first grade teacher’s record, “Teddy is a bright child with a cheerful laugh.” His second grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is an excellent student. He is troubled because his mother is sick. Life at home may be hard.” His third grade teacher wrote, “His mother’s death has been hard on him.” Teddy’s fourth grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is lonely and doesn’t show much interest in school.”
By now, Mrs. Thompson saw the problem and felt bad for judging Teddy. That day, she didn’t teach reading, writing or math. Instead she started teaching her students how to be kind to each other.
Over the school year, Mrs. Thompson paid lots of attention to Teddy. His mind seemed to come alive and his grades improved. By the end of the year, Teddy was doing better in school. He also had more friends than before.
Years later, Teddy wrote to Mrs. Thompson. “Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for making me feel important and showing me that I could make a difference.”

Every week, Liu Fang, a 38-year-old media worker in Beijing, goes to a store which sells near-expired (将要过期的) food in Sanlitun and returns with a bag of snacks or drinks.
“The price tags on these goods have caught my eye. They are often sold at 10% to 30% of the market price,” Liu said. “More importantly, most of them are from big brands(品牌). Why wouldn’t I love them?”
Liu is among the increasing number of Chinese people who enjoy buying near-expired food at much cheaper prices. According to the latest report by iiMedia Research, the near-expired food industry had a market size of over 30 billion yuan in 2020. 47.8% of the consumers (消费者) are aged between 26 and 35.
Unlike the traditional thinking that buying such goods makes them feel shy, more and more young people consider it as a kind of sustainable consumption (可持续消费) that can help reduce food waste.
“I don’t care much about the date as long as I can eat it before its expiry. It meets my needs while saving resources and protecting the environment, which is a good thing,” Wu Lin, a 19-year-old college student and a fan of near-expired food, told Xinhua.
Actually, food waste is a great challenge for China and other countries. According to a 2020 report from the National People’s Congress, about 18 billion kilograms of food is wasted every year in China’s urban catering industry (城镇餐饮业).
“As more Chinese people choose to buy near-expired food, the food waste will be reduced,” said Liu.
According to CGTN, China had the tradition of saving food leading to the 1990s.
As people’s lives improved greatly, many began to make or order more food than could be consumed, CGTN reported. But the trend (趋势) of buying near-expired food may suggest that the Chinese virtue (美德) of frugality (节约) is coming back.
“I’ve been very frugal all my life. Living through a serious famine (饥荒), I’m used to saving every grain and every penny,” a woman born in the 1950s, told CGTN. “I’m happy to see more young people joining our group.”
4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Old consumers don’t like near-expired snacks or drinks.
B．Most of food from big brands is at cheaper prices in Sanlitun.
C．Liu Fang goes to Sanlitun to sell near-expired food every week.
D．More Chinese people enjoy buying near-expired food at much cheaper prices now.
5．What is the influence of buying near-expired food in China according to CGTN?
A．Young people won’t buy expensive things.
B．People don’t like caring about the production date.
C．More and more people won’t buy food at right prices.
D．The Chinese virtue of frugality may return to our daily life.
6．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The Chinese traditional virtue of frugality.
B．The success of the near-expired food business.
C．A new shopping trend among young consumers.
D．Different opinions about buying near-expired food.

Visit a middle or large size of company these days, and you’re likely to find the staff (全体职工) members sharing a large, open space. Instead of having personal offices with doors and walls, most workers sit in cubicles that are half open. Whenever workers talk on the phone, other members of staff nearby can’t simply shut their doors. In fact, sometimes they can’t help but overhear everything that’s said. At times, the best way to focus in this type of office is to reach for one’s headphones and listen to music.
The open office idea is not new. It was created by a team of consultants (顾问) from Hamburg, Germany, in the 1950s. Called the office landscape (景观) plan, the idea was created to improve communication and the exchange of ideas. The design also encouraged managers and their teams to work near each other, making it easier for managers to guide projects. Now, the open office idea is often used as an excuse for companies to save money on building costs, paying no attention to the effect on working performance.
Many start-ups have a great interest in the open office idea. Take Chartbeat for example, the company’s 50-plus staff members get to choose their desk and chair styles, and everyone shares an open space with the CEO sitting in the middle. The office space has both single workstations and informal meeting areas where workers can relax themselves on sofas. While this design may be perfect for workers in start-ups, it may not be convenient for workers who have a great need of personal space.
In 2011 Matthew Davis, an organizational psychologist (心理学家), checked over a hundred studies about office environments. He found that, to staff in open offices, it was harder to stay focused and more likely to get higher stress than those working in traditional offices. What’s worse, a study in Denmark found that workers in open offices took more sick days than those working in traditional offices.
Even though open office plans present hidden problems on worker health and personal needs, businesses probably won’t return to traditional offices. Modern office workers tend (倾向) to need both time to focus and time to work together with others. So designing offices that account for both needs may be the best way forward.
10．What is mainly discussed about the open office in paragraph 1?
A．The benefit. B．The problem. C．The history. D．The management.
11．What was the purpose of the office landscape plan at the beginning?
A．To save space. B．To reduce cost.
C．To improve working conditions. D．To encourage communication.
12．What does the underlined phrase “account for” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Include. B．Record. C．Forget. D．Translate.
13．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Working in open offices can reduce higher stress.
B．The writer suggests working in traditional offices.
C．Staff members like wearing headphones to listen to music in the open offices.
D．The open offices are good for managers to guide projects and work with the staff.

（2022·北京密云·统考二模）Some high school students think it useless to receive higher education. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you’re one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.
Schools and universities are the first places to get knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained (获得) after you start working, but without education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge.
While limited within the walls of the educational places, we openly explore other cultures of the world! We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable things to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and exchange with various cultures, getting more experience.
When there’s a recession in the economy (经济), those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished high school and have a limited skills set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.
When you’re skillful and knowledgeable, you gain access (通道) to people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.
A good education makes you a more interesting person. You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what’s on sale in stores. An educated person doesn’t gossip (说闲话), having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.
17．What can we learn about college education from Paragraph 2?
A．It offers you a chance to study abroad.
B．It can allow you to gain more knowledge.
C．It can improve the quality of your daily life.
D．It encourages you to travel around the world.
18．What does the underlined word “recession” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．change. B．drop. C．growth. D．support.
19．How can one benefit from a good education?
A．You can gossip about others’ affairs. B．You are likely to study well at school.
C．You can work well with your coworkers. D．You can get to know excellent people.

（2022·北京东城·统考二模）Background knowledge is the knowledge a person has about the world when he or she starts to read a text. It is agreed that background knowledge plays an important role in reading. Put simply, the more you know about a topic, the easier it is for you to read a text, understand it, and remember the information.
To understand this, here are two points. First, background knowledge enables readers to choose between different meanings of words. For example, if you read the word “operation” in a sports article, you might think about a sportsperson with a serious injury（伤）. But if you read the word in a math text, you’d think about a mathematical process. Second, understanding a text requires readers to fill missing information and make inferences. To do this, readers need to have some basic knowledge about the topic.
Students get background knowledge both through personal experiences and by learning in the classroom. Then how can teachers help students build background knowledge? Here are some suggestions.
Begin by teaching words in categories（类别）. For example, teachers can try something as simple as this: “Apples, bananas, strawberries, mangoes. They are a type of...（fruit）. Categories of objects and the use of generic nouns（统称）can help students increase vocabulary and develop concepts（概念）.
________. Reading builds knowledge, but wide reading has usually been taken as reading about a lot of different topics. Teachers can try a different way: encourage children to find an interest and read as many books as they can on one topic. This will help them develop a deeper knowledge on a topic.
Use multimedia（多媒体）. Direct experiences are the most effective ways to build knowledge. There is nothing more exciting for students than learning through direct experiences, such as field trips and other activities. Although multimedia cannot replace real-life experiences, it can often provide a lot of information that we could only wish to experience firsthand. It can also introduce children to important words and concepts.
Background knowledge is important in a student’s ability to fully understand a text. Teachers’ efforts can help students become stronger thinkers and life-long readers and learners.
21．The writer talks about the word “operation” in Paragraph 2 to explain________.
A．what background knowledge is
B．why background knowledge is important
C．when people need background knowledge
D．how people develop background knowledge
22．Which of the following would be the best topic sentence for Paragraph 5?
A．Make wide reading interesting.
B．Introduce different topics to students.
C．Encourage topic-centered wide reading.
D．Help students find their favourite books.
23．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Vocabulary is the greatest difficulty in understanding a text.
B．Making inferences has little connection with background knowledge.
C．Multimedia is more useful than direct experiences in building knowledge.
D．Developing vocabulary and concepts can help build background knowledge.

（2022·北京石景山·统考二模）The Unusual Package
hair pin
We had just finished our wonderful New Year Party. Now it was finally time to exchange presents.
One by one, our teacher called out each name, and then he handed the presents. Soon, all kinds of gifts, from board games, candy and books to small toys had been almost opened.
I stood off to one side with my best friends, Carrie and Megan. Carrie’s gift was a box of chocolates and Megan’s was a book of 365 stories. I tried to appear disinterested. But when the last brightly wrapped(包装的) present was gone, I began to get nervous.
The teacher finally called out my name and handed me an old, sort of dirty small box.
What an unusual package(包裹), I thought. Who would wrap something like this?
“Who’s it from?” asked Carrie.
I turned over the box and found, “To Betty from Sarah,” written in pencil. My heart dropped down to my feet when I saw it.
Sarah’s family was poor and they moved here about two years ago. Sarah was nice but terribly shy. She had trouble with her schoolwork, especially reading. Sometimes our teacher asked me to help her.
My mother had taught me that I should always be polite when receiving a gift. “Feelings are more important than things,” she always said. “There is nothing in the world worth hurting someone else’s feelings over.” So I was ready to act as if I had just been given the best present I had ever received.               
“Maybe it’s an eraser,” said Carrie.
“I think it’s just a card,” said Megan.                   
But when I opened the box and reached my fingers in, I knew they were both wrong. I pulled out a hair pin. It was light yellow with a small pink flower on it. It was truly beautiful.
That night, I received more than the gift Sarah gave me. I learned not to prejudge others, and that nice presents and kind hearts could come in unusual packages.
24．The writer got the present from ________.
A．Carrie B．Megan C．Betty D．Sarah
25．What present did the writer receive?
A．A card. B．A hair pin. C．A story book. D．A box of chocolates.
26．What has the writer learned from her experience?
A．Don’t judge a book by its cover.
B．Don’t be rude to the poor people.
C．Presents are important on festivals.
D．Friendship is necessary for everyone.

（2022·北京东城·统考二模）Fourteen-year-old Akram used to spend a boring hour waiting at a bus stop after school each day. Teachers were preparing for the next day in the classrooms, but students weren’t allowed in. Akram thought it was such a waste of time although he could play on his phone, so he decided to change things. He wanted to stay at school and do his favorite hobby—art.
One day, he asked the head teacher if students could do something in the school after classes. “If you find out what is needed, I will help you,” the head teacher set him a challenge.
Over the next week, Akram talked to all the students who waited after school and other students, too. He asked them what they would like to do in that hour. Many students said they wanted after-school clubs for things like chess, basketball, art and reading.
When Akram arrived at the head teacher’s office, there was another student, Holly, waiting there. The head teacher told them that they both had the same idea, so she wanted them to work together. She gave them some problems to solve.
“You need to find the people who will be responsible for the clubs and who will pay for any equipment（设备）,” said the head teacher. “Also, you need to talk to the cleaning team to make sure that they can clean up after you leave.”
Akram and Holly talked about their idea and problems at the next Parents’ Association meeting. They also did the same thing to their teachers and the cleaning team.
Several days later, a teacher told them that he could organize trainee（实习生）teachers to be responsible for the clubs. The Parents’ Association decided to raise money to pay for equipment like chess boards and baskets. The cleaners agreed that they could clean the classrooms after the hour was finished.

（2022·北京大兴·统考二模）Teresa Faiello was driving in rush-hour traffic when “stars and blind spots” filled her vision(视觉). Robbed of her surround vision, a sharp pain sending from behind her eyes to the back of her head, she had to pull over.
The worst migraine(偏头疼)
That was more than twenty years ago. Faiello clearly recalls the worst migraine headache she suffered in her 52 years and how much it scared her. She parked on the side of the road for 20 minutes until she could see well enough to get home. “I was done for the rest of the day,” she said. “I couldn’t do anything.”
________
That’s what life is like for migraine sufferers. They live with the constant fear and stress of not knowing what could lead to another painful, days-long period—or when. They can experience weak pain, sickness and sensitivity(敏感) to lights and sounds that could last for days.
“So many people think it’s just a headache,” said Dr. Clifton Gooch, chair of the neurology(神经) department at the University of South Florida and founder of its Headache Center. “But migraine is one of the leading causes of disability in the U. S. and worldwide.”
A look at the numbers
Migraines are the third most common illness in the world, according to the Migraine Research Foundation. Migraine and headache disorders are also the fifth highest cause of disability among ages 25 to 49 and second highest among ages 10 to 24, according to a study published by the Global Burden of Disease Study.
The effects
The pain typically happens from one side of the head and can be doubled by light and sound. While some sufferers receive no warning, others experience aura-sensory(感觉先兆) changes such as blind spots in vision, tingling(痒) in the face or limbs. It is considered a chronic(慢性的) condition when it lasts at least 15 days, a month, or for three months. The common causes include changing weather, stress, certain foods and some other uncertain things.
It’s hard to live a really fulfilled life with usually worrying. Migraine is a chronic illness that we deal with monthly, weekly, daily. We should be actively battling it ourselves because no one knows what we’re going through.
33．Why does the writer talk about Teresa’s experience in Paragraph 1?
A．To lead in the topic of the passage. B．To explain the writer’s purpose.
C．To introduce a conclusion. D．To start a story.
34．Which of the following would be the best heading for Paragraph 3 and 4?
A．More than just a headache B．Constant fear and stress
C．Causes of disabilities D．A long-lasting illness
35．What can we infer from this passage?

B．Light and sound together make up migraine.
C．The migraine sufferers are mainly young people.
D．Migraine affects its sufferers both in body and mind.

（2022·北京朝阳·统考二模）Human activity is changing the surface and temperature of our planet. But new research shows it is also changing the sound of oceans and seas. Scientists say these changes affect （影响）many sea animals—from very small fish to huge whales.
Sound travels very far underwater. For fish, sound is a better way to sense their environment than light. They use sounds to communicate with each other. Sounds also help some ocean animals find food and avoid their hunters. Sounds help fish and other sea animals survive（生存）.
However, increased noise from humans is making it harder for these animals to hear each other. The noise comes from shipping traffic, underwater oil and gas exploration, and other noisy human activity. For many sea animals, their efforts to communicate are being masked （被掩盖）by sounds that humans have introduced. Experts explain the term masking, which happens when one or more noises in the water block sound important to an ocean animal’s life.
The Red Sea is one of the world’s most important shipping passages. It is full of large ships traveling to Asia, Europe, and Africa. Some fish and other animals now avoid the noisiest areas. Also, the overall number of sea animals has gone down by about half since 1970. In some parts of the ocean, scientists now record fewer animals singing and calling than in the past.
Experts say that effects of noise on sea animals are not well understood. However, some studies suggest that noise may cause hearing loss. The stress from human noise might also affect the immune（免疫）system-an animal’s natural defense system. Many sea animals are showing higher levels of stress because of noise.
When people think of threats（威胁）facing the ocean, we often think of climate change, plastics, and overfishing. But noise pollution is another necessary thing we need to be monitoring. When it comes to something humans can do for the ocean, we need to think about how to make it quieter. Sound pollution may be easier to deal with than other ocean threats. You can reduce or turn off sound immediately. It’s not like plastics or climate change, which are much harder to undo.
36．According to the passage, sounds can help sea animals in many ways except ________.
A．blocking the sunshine outside B．searching for something to eat
C．getting away from their hunters D．communicating with each other
37．What can you know from the passage?
A．Noise does more harm to sea animals than humans realize.
B．Plastic pollution is the biggest threat facing oceans and seas.
C．Fish sense their environment better through light than sound.
D．The Red Sea is one of the most popular fishing areas in the world.
38．The underlined words “to undo” in Paragraph 6 probably mean “________”.
A．to involve the effort B．to promise the result C．to cancel the effects D．to forget the influences
39．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Why Are Ocean Animals So Noisy? B．Helpful Ways to Save Ocean Animals.
C．Humans Are Making Oceans Too Noisy. D．Which Threat to Oceans Is the Biggest?

（2022·北京朝阳·统考二模）You and Your Data（数据）
As the Internet and digital （数字的）technology become a bigger part of our lives, more of our data becomes publicly ready for use, leading to questions about privacy（隐私）. So, how do we connect with the growing digital world without giving in the safety of our information and our right to privacy?
Imagine that you want to learn a new language. You search “Is German a difficult language?” on your phone. Then you read an article with advice on learning German. You use a search service to find German courses. It asks you to turn on location （定位）services to find courses near you. You click “accept”. Later while you’re sending an email, an advertisement about a local language school teaching German pops up. You wonder how they’ve known. At all steps of your online activity, your phone and websites are collecting data and following your behavior online.
2
Many of us share our locations, travel plans, opinions, shopping interests and family photos online—as services like ordering a takeaway meal, booking a plane or buying new clothes now take place online and require us to give out our data.
Every search you make, service you use, message you send and product you buy is part of your “digital footprint”. Companies and online platforms use this “footprint” to track （跟踪）exactly what you are doing, from what links you click on to how much time you spend on a website. From your online behavior, they can guess what you are interested in and what things you might want to buy. By selling your data or providing products aiming at your interests, companies can make big money.
Can you protect your data?
Sometimes our personal data is shared online with our agreement. However, our data often travels farther than we realize, and can be used in ways that we did not expect. We don’t even notice our personal data has been lost or shared without being allowed until the news on leaking （泄露）our data is reported in newspapers or on TV.
People begin to realize the possible dangers of sharing information online. As the Internet users, it is important that we pay more attention to who collects our data, where it is stored and how it is used. As the ways in which we use the Internet continue to grow and change, we will need to stay informed and keep needing new laws and rules, and better information about how to protect ourselves.

Since the age of two, Ryder has been in a wheelchair. Last September he started the first grade and took the bus to school every day. Because he couldn’t rush to catch the bus, sometimes he had to wait for fifteen minutes outside for the next one. It was all right when the weather was fine. However, if it was a rainy day with strong wind, Ryder would get wet, cold and uncomfortable.
Tim, who went to the local high school, rode the same bus with Ryder and noticed this. He wanted to help him stay warm but didn’t know what to do. He told his teacher, Dan, about Ryder.
“Why not build Ryder a bus stop hut?” said Dan, “We can spend sometime after school working on this project.”
“Great idea!” said Tim.
Tim shared Dan’s idea with his classmates, and they immediately decided to join in. Three of Dan’s classes worked hard on the project for days. They watched videos to learn how to create the structure. The thought of keeping Ryder away from cold wind made them work nonstop. They wanted to finish it before snow would be falling. Some local companies heard about it and also helped.
The hut was finally built two weeks later. Ryder’s family was shocked. It was so big that it allowed Ryder and an adult to be with him comfortably. The family sent a photo of Ryder in the hut and thanked Tim and other students for their hard work. The students were so excited to see just how their project helped others.

Anil froze when he saw the poster at school. Culinary Academies of America presents Junior Cooking Camp. He had to go! But he needed money to get there.
So, the next morning on Saturday, Anil started to make cookies. Then he put the cookies into bags. Last he wrote Anil’s Cookies on each bag.
“Now,” Anil said, “I’ll make my dream come true.” He knocked door-to-door, trying to sell the cookies. He told each neighbor, “I need money for the cooking camp. I want to be a chef.” “Just bought some cookies,” one neighbor said. “On a diet,” the next one said. “No money,” the third admitted.
After Anil came home with a lot of good luck wishes but no money, his grandma, Nana, suggested him to drive to John’s Indian Grocery Store.
“Cookies?” Mr. John waved his hand. “No sweets. Too many sweets.” He pointed toward some shelves with desserts from India.
“But those are canned,” Nana argued. “These are fresh!”
“It takes too long to make a fresh paratha (flat bread) and aloo (potato) nowadays.” Mr. John shrugged (耸肩).
Anil went back home with Nana. He didn’t want to give up his dream. He thought about how traditional paratha shapes were so boring. Circles, triangles, nothing fun. Why couldn’t he use cookie cutters on paratha dough? As he worked, Nana picked up his parathas one by one. “A car. A cat. A flower? What kind of parathas dough are these?” After some silence, she said, “I should like eating the cat.” “Maybe other people will like them, too.” Anil said.
Anil hoped the Indian store would buy some. So they cooked the parathas and brought them to John. He tore off (撕下) a piece of paratha and put into his mouth.
“These are more fun for kids.” Anil said.
“Parathas for kids?” John slowly nodded his head. “Something new. And delicious. We’ll try them.”
A few days later, John called Anil.

The Spotlight Effect
Have you ever felt as if the whole world was watching while you made a mistake? Well, that is because of “the spotlight effect”. Here’s some good news — it’s likely that no one even noticed.
The spotlight effect is a trick of the mind that makes us believe that people notice us more often than they really do. We experience the spotlight effect not only when we make mistakes but also when we perform well. Every time we do something that is a little different from what we usually do, we may assume that everyone around us will notice. The spotlight effect might happen when we make a mistake in a game, have a bad hair day, or give a terrible answer in class. It can also appear when we score a big goal, ask someone on a date, or do a good deed. In these moments, it feels like everyone is watching.
The spotlight effect exists because we all get used to seeing things through our own eyes. Every person is the main character in his or her story, and the events of our lives seem to have great importance. We are so busy examining ourselves that we actually observe very little about everyone around us.
The spotlight effect is a very common part of the human experience. However, in some cases, it can lead to extreme social anxiety(焦虑) and nervousness around other people. Everyone suffers some degree of social anxiety. We all care about what others think, and we all want to be liked. It’s normal to wonder about what effect we have on other people. However, this can be a problem when the anxiety is too much to deal with. If someone is so nervous that they can’t make good decisions, then it’s time to take action and improve the situation.
Learning about the spotlight effect is important because it can help us reduce our anxiety. The next time you feel like everyone is staring at you, remind yourself that it’s just your mind playing tricks on you. Another good exercise is to make an effort to notice the people around you, rather than focusing on yourself. If you fill your mind with thoughts of your friends and family, it will help you be less self- conscious(难为情的).
52．The spotlight effect can make us believe that ________.
A．everyone suffers some degree of social anxiety
B．people notice us more often than they really do
C．no one actually noticed us while we made a mistake
D．we can do something that is little different from others
53．What do you know about the spotlight effect from the passage?
A．It makes everyone watch. B．It makes people feel more confident.
C．It doesn’t happen when we perform well. D．It makes people observe very little about others.
54．What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．The reasons why we need to reduce our anxiety.

C．The suggestions on how to learn about the spotlight effect.
D．The ways to reduce our anxiety caused by the spotlight effect.

“Look! The community center is having an art contest,” said Grace. She was holding a flyer(传单).
Mrs. Simon read the flyer aloud. Everyone agreed they would like to enter the art contest. Mrs. Simon said, “Our classroom supply of art materials is low because it’s the end of the year. I’ll check with Mrs. Rice to see what she has.”
Mrs. Rice, the art teacher, didn’t have any art materials. “I won’t be getting a supply until next year,” she said. The whole class was upset. “How can we enter the art contest without art materials?” asked Grace.
“Maybe we can raise some money. We could have a bake sale,” suggested Hal.
“I don’t think there’s time,” Mrs. Simon said.
“Let’s use the paper in the recycling bin,” Pablo said. Pablo did not often raise his hand. He rarely spoke up, so everyone was surprised when he offered an idea.
Hal said, “I’m curious about your idea. I want to learn why you would use old paper.”
“So we can save Earth’s resources,” replied Pablo. “When we use recycled paper, we use natural materials and save trees.”
“We can also use this old string and these wire hangers.” added Grace.
Now the class had to decide what to do with the materials. Pablo had another idea. “We can fold the paper into cranes. Then we can attach the cranes to a frame to make a mobile.” Mrs. Simon taught the children how to fold the paper into cranes. Then everyone helped attach the cranes to the mobile.
On the day of the art contest, the paper crane mobile hung in the large community center room. The huge space was crowded with art projects. From far off, the class spotted their project. The crane mobile swayed(摇摆) gently as people walked past. The paper cranes appeared to be softly flying.
The judges checked each art project. They looked closely at the crane mobile.
The paper crane mobile won the prize for the most creative use of materials. As the class proudly accepted their prize, they could not stop grinning (咧嘴笑). Grace exclaimed, “We made our art project, and we saved the Earth at the same time!”

Did you know that humans aren’t the only species (物种) that use language? Bees communicate by dancing. Whales talk to each other by singing. And some apes talk to humans by using American Sign Language.
A female gorilla, Koko, was born at the San Francisco Zoo on July 4th, 1971. Koko learned sign language from her trainer, Dr. Penny Patterson. Patterson began teaching sign language to Koko in 1972, when Koko was one year old. Koko must have been a good student, because two years later she moved onto the Stanford University campus with Dr. Patterson. Koko continued to learn on the campus until 1976. That’s when she began living full-time with Patterson’s group, the Gorilla Foundation. Patterson and Koko’s relationship has blossomed ever since.
Dr. Patterson says that Koko has mastered sign language and known over 1,000 words, and that Koko makes up new words. For example, Koko didn’t know the sign for ring, so she signed the words finger and bracelet. Dr. Patterson thinks that this shows meaningful and constructive use of language.
Not everyone agrees with Dr. Patterson. Some argue that apes like Koko do not understand the meaning of what they are doing. Some people who don’t believe that say that these apes are just performing complex tricks (戏法). For example, if Koko points to an apple and signs red or apple, Dr. Patterson will give her an apple. They argue that Koko does not really know what the sign apple means. She only knows that that if she makes the right motion, one which Dr. Patterson has shown her, then she gets an apple. The debate is unresolved, but one thing is for certain: Koko is an extraordinary ape.
It seems like Patterson and Koko have a good relationship, but not everyone agrees with it. Some people believe that Patterson is humanizing the ape. They think that apes should be left in the most natural state possible. Even Dr. Patterson struggles with these feelings. When she was asked if her findings could be duplicated by another group of scientists, she said, “We don’t think that it would be ethical (道德的) to do again.” She went on to argue that animals should not be kept in such unnatural circumstances.
As for the future, Dr. Patterson and the Gorilla Foundation would love to get Koko to an ape preserve (保护区) in Maui, but they are having trouble getting the land. So unless you have a few million dollars to spare, Koko’s going to be spending her time in Woodland, California with Dr. Patterson. Koko probably doesn’t mind that. If she moved to Hawaii, she’d have to give up her Facebook page and Twitter feed, and she’s got like 50 thousand “likes”. Some may deny (否认) that she knows sign language, but nobody says that she doesn’t know social networking.
58．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the second paragraph?
A．To describe the environment in which Koko lives.
B．To tell readers how Dr. Patterson developed Koko’s living skills.
C．To advise Patterson to free Koko after she learnt on the campus.
D．To make an introduction about Koko and Dr. Patterson’s background.
59．What do we know from the passage?
A．Koko has mastered sign language without a doubt.
B．Everybody likes how Dr. Patterson has raised Koko.
C．Some people think that Koko only signs to get food.
D．The Gorilla Foundation has got a land for Koko to stay naturally.
60．What does the underlined word “duplicated” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．To disagree with someone. B．To fool them.
C．To copy something. D．To be disproven through debate.
61．Which may be the main idea of this passage?
A．Bees, whales, and apes like Koko all use language to communicate.
B．Koko uses sign language but some think it’s just a trick.
C．It is natural for gorillas to learn sign language like humans.
D．If you want a lot of “likes” on Facebook, get a talking gorilla.

（2022·北京丰台·统考二模）Have you ever played brain games? Do you know there is even a National Puzzle Day celebrated every year on January 29 in the United States? In addition to being entertaining and fun, puzzles have health and social benefits, especially in early childhood. Studies have shown that doing puzzles can help enhance(增强) brain activity in adults. It also improves creativity, concentration and memory.
You’ve probably seen ads for apps promising to make you smarter in just a few minutes a day. Hundreds of so-called “brain training” programs can be bought for downloading. These simple games are designed to challenge mental abilities, with the final goal of improving the performance of everyday tasks. But can these simple games really help you improve the way your brain functions?
Two large groups, scientists group and mental health practitioners(从业者) group, published some statements on the effectiveness of these kinds of brain games. Both groups included people with years of research experience in cognition(认知), learning, skill acquisition, etc. Both groups carefully considered the same evidence available(可得的) at the time. Yet, they gave exactly opposite results.
One concluded that “there is little evidence that playing puzzle games improves cognitive abilities, or that it enables one to better deal with a complex field of everyday life.” The other argued that “a growing evidence shows that certain cognitive training can greatly improve cognitive function, including ways related to everyday life.”
In my opinion, although the brain training program seems an attracting shortcut, improving or maintaining cognition is not going to be quick and easy. Instead, it may require a lifetime — or at least an extended period — of cognitive challenge and learning.
If you’re worried about your cognition, what should you do? If you do play brain games, and you enjoy them, please continue to play. But don’t expect too much. If you’re playing only to gain cognitive benefits, consider other activities instead, which might be cognitively exciting, or at least more satisfying and rewarding.
62．How did the two groups get their results?
A．By collecting data from research. B．By considering available evidence.
C．By recording cognitive changes. D．By comparing the differences.
63．The word “extended” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.
A．early B．hard C．long D．same
64．What does the writer think of the effect of puzzle games on cognition?
A．It is not so valuable. B．It is very practical.
C．It is hardly acceptable. D．It is completely useless.
65．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A．Can Brain Games be Improved? B．Can Brain Games Make a Difference?
C．Can Cognitive Function be Trained? D．Can Cognitive Function be Studied?
