A donation by a famous writer has helped start an effort, called the United States of Readers, to help poor children read more books.
The classroom programme is being launched by Scholastic Book Clubs with a donation of $1.5 million from the writer James Patterson.
Scholastic announced the programme recently, aiming to bring books to 32,000 poor children who are in kindergarten to eighth grade.
Judy Newman, president of Scholastic Book Clubs, said that in many communities people don't have enough money to buy books. So her company “needed to come up with an alternative to our tried-and-true model, because every child needs to be able to choose and own books, and see themselves as a reader!”
Scholastic is a large pub is her of books for children and educational materials. Its goal is to get books into schools to increase literacy. The company has publishing rights in the U.S. for books like the Harry Potter and Hunger Games series.
A gift from Patterson helped start the new programme. He is credited with selling millions of books. He has already donated more than $ 10 million to teachers and students through Scholastic.
He said that he has supported literacy for many years. He believes reading skills are important for the country.
“In many cases, kids simply need access to books-and especially books they want to read—to fall in love with reading, characters, and stories.”
Patterson added that the programme “will bring books to those schools and communities that need them the most, and ones that we haven't served before.”
Scholastic describes the programme on its website. It says the United States of Readers programme targets children in schools serving poor communities. The company said it has chosen a limited number of schools to take part this year but hopes to expand the programme in the coming years.
24. Who of the following is the target of the United States of Readers?

B. Children from less developed countries.

C. Meeting children's personalized needs. D. Developing students' reading ability.

The Hadza hunter-gatherers of Tanzania live a life that has not changed much over ten thousand years. They have no crops, no house animals, no permanent shelters. In spite of long exposure to agriculturalist groups around them, the Hadza have maintained their lifestyle.
The story of the spread of agriculture is the story of growing population density(密度), Villages formed, then cities, then nations. Agriculture's rise, however, came with a price. It introduced infectious diseases, social inequality, occasional famines(饥荒) and war. Professor Jared Diamond of UCLA(University of California, Los Angeles) has called the adoption of agriculture “the worst mistake in human history”—a mistake from which we have never recovered.
Looking at the Hadza, you can see why he came to this conclusion. They do not engage in warfare. They do not live densely(稠密地) enough to be threatened by an infectious outbreak. They have no known history of famine(饥荒). The Hadza diet is more stable(稳定的) and varied than that of most of the world's citizens. They live almost entirely free of possessions, They enjoy an extraordinary amount of leisure time, “working”—actively pursuing food—only four to six hours a day.
The chief reason the Hadza have be enable to maintain their lifestyle so long is that their homeland is not an inviting place. Recently, however, population growth has brought a flood of people into Hadza lands. The region has generally been viewed by outsiders as unused, a place in need of development, The Hadza, who by nature are not a combative(好战的) people, have almost always moved away instead of fighting.
There are many things to envy about the Hadza, mostly what free spirits they appear to be. Free from schedules, jobs, bosses, bills, traffic, taxes, laws, social duties and money. But who of us could live like them? It's incredibly risky. Medical help is faraway. One bad fall from a tree, one bite from a snake, and you're dead, The fact is that it's too late for us to go back to the Hadza lifestyle. Of greater concern is that soon it may be impossible for them to maintain theirs.
28. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Agriculture's rise. B. The growth of population.
C. The formation of village. D. The appearance of a city.
29. What's the characteristic of the Hadza?
A. They are always busy in all seasons.
B. They like fighting with the other nations，
C. They are often in hunger because of fight，
D. They are always leading a free life without fight.
30. What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A. It's convenient for the people of Hadza to get medical care.
B. It's worth visiting the beautiful scenery of the Hadza.
C. Visitors can be welcomed warmly by the people of the Hadza.
D. The author is worried about the current situation of the Hadza.
31. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Agriculture of the Hadza B. The Unique Hadza Lifestyle
C. The Attractive Diet of the Hadza D. The Medical Care of the Hadza
D
In the 1980s, millions of western monarchs gathered in trees from northern California down to western Mexico. Now, their wintering sites are mostly on California's central coast.
Western monarch butterflies travel south from the Pacific Northwest to California each winter. They return to the same places and even the same trees, where they gather. The monarchs usually arrive in California at the beginning of November. They spread across the country once warmer weather arrives in March.
The western monarch butterfly population has deer eased by more than 99 percent since the 1980s. Another monarch population on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains travels from southern Canada and the northeastern US
to spend the winter in western Mexico. Scientists estimate the monarch population in the eastern US has fallen about 80 percent since the mid-1990s.
Monarchs from across the West migrate(迁徙) yearly to about 100 wintering sites along central California's Pacific coast. One of the best-known wintering places is the Monarch Grove Sanctuary in the city of Pacific Grove.
Pacific Grove, California, known as “Butterfly Town, USA”, has worked for years to help the decreasing monarch population. The city holds a parade to celebrate the butterflies every October. It also bans human interference with the monarchs. The crime carries a $1,000fine.
In 2020, no monarchs appeared in Pacific Grove. But in 2021, a nearly count found that more than 13,000 of the insects had moved in.
Scientists do not know why the population increased in 2021. But Jepsen, director of Endangered Species at Xerces Society, said it is likely a combination of reasons, including better conditions on their breeding grounds. The non-profit science group Xerces Society carries out the official study every year. Volunteer counters have reported the presence of as many as 50,000 monarchs in the last few weeks.
Monarch butterflies lack legal protection that could keep their territory from being destroyed. Last year, the butterflies were denied federal protection. But the insects are now among the candidates for listing under the federal Endangered Species Act.
32. What is the text mainly about?
A. Introducing California's central coast.
B. Revealing the migration and quantity change of monarchs.
C. Attracting more visitors to Pacific Grove in California.
D. Introducing the reason for western monarchs' migration.
33. Which word can describe the reason for the sudden rise of monarchs in 2021?
A. Apparent. B. Unique. C. Multiple. D. Mysterious.
34. What does the underlined word “interference” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Disturbance. B. Commitment. C. Adaptation. D. Consumption.
35. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To provide readers with more interesting information.
B. To urge to add more animals into the list of endangered species.
C. To express the author's satisfaction with protective measures.
D. To introduce the development of legal basis for protecting Monarch butterflies，

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。
Do you like to bury your head in a good book? Getting absorbed in a good story is a great way to relax. It improves your literacy, and, according to some experts, it's good for your health as well. 36 But despite these benefits, does the way we consume a story make any difference?
For the purist, the only way to digest a good story is with a paperback or hardback book. Being in print, it's possible to feel and even smell the book. And of course it's very portable. 37 An “electronic” book enables you to store hundreds of virtual books in one place and allows you to download books directly.
The e-book has become popular in schools, too, and according to one school in London, it's encouraged more children to read. 38
The recent lockdown s due to the coronavirus pandemic have certainly given us all time to read more, and in the UK at least, sales of physical books have risen strongly. 39 The publishing industry hopes this trend will continue now that people have got into the habit of reading more.
40 There are hugely ambitious productions using ensemble(整体；全体)casts, specially created soundscapes and technological advances. No matter what your reading preference is, there's no doubt we are spoilt for choice in how we access a good story.
A. Last year, some 202miln paperbacks and hardbacks were sold.
B. Reading books does not rate highly among Britons as a leisure activity.
C. For adults, e-books are certainly a lightweight way of accessing our favourite literature on the move.
D. But for those who can't or don't want to look at the text in a book，there are audiobooks to listen to.
E. Research has shown that readers remember more information reading from paper books thane-books.
F. But the traditional book has had a rival(竞争对手) in recent years from e-books, which are read one-readers or tablets.
G. Studies show that it can increase our emotional intelligence as we understand a range of perspectives and motivations.

The Story of an Umbrella
Carla is a freshman in the science department of a university in her city. Due to her poor family, she saves everywhere and studies hard.
One weekend, she was going to the bookstore to buy a badly needed book. Suddenly the rain poured down.
Without an umbrella, Carla ran for cover when it started to rain. Finally, she decided to buy a beautiful umbrella,
The prices of various umbrellas ranged from a few dollars to tens of dollars. She fell in love with a read umbrella. But she had only $10.
“I can give you seven dollars for that umbrella,” she said shyly to the smiling salesgirl.
“OK. Young lady. This is your lucky day. The umbrella is yours,” the salesgirl agreed. She opened the red new umbrella above her head, and the rain beat on it.
Carla went to the bookstore she used to go to. She carefully placed her beloved umbrella next to another old and black one.
There are no other customers in the store except a girl of her height and age. While Carla was talking to a shop assistant, the girl left the shop.
When Carla left, Carla found her own umbrella missing.
There was only the old and black umbrella which had a pattern of yellow ducks.
“This is not my lucky day,” Carla walked to the city square.
“Hello!” a young man smiled at her. But Carla didn't know this young man. She walked away quickly. But the young man still followed the old and black umbrella. She looked at the young man angrily.
“Marissa, I'm sorry,” he said to her. “I am late.”
“I'm not Marissa!” Carla shouted, staring.
“You're not Marissa?” the young man pointed at the black umbrella with yellow ducks, saying, “That's her umbrella.”
“Oh!” said Carla. “Who is Marissa?”
“I don't know Marissa. I've only seen a picture of her holding this umbrella. My name is Paul, a junior in college. I'm majoring in law. I came here today to give her some legal advice. Marissa works with my cousin,” said he.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

It was the very new red umbrella she had bought.

Dear schoolmates,
Recently, I took part in an activity called “No Plastic in Nature” initiated by WWF, aiming to reduce the use of plastic products.
As we all know, plastic products are widely used from households, hospitals to supermarkets, factories and soon. Useful as plastic products are, over using and improper treatment do great harm to our lives, which results in a great waste of resources and heavy environment pollution. Even worse, they are likely to pose a threat to public health.
Therefore, I call on everyone to participate in this activity and do our best to protect our homeland.

第二节
One possible version:
“I'm not Marissa!” said Carla again. Feeling that Carla was very impatient, Paul quickly comforted her. “It will be better, if you're willing to tell me what occurred so that we can pull together to work it out,” said Paul with a smile. Then Carla explained to him the experience, tears in eyes. Having known all the details, Paul promised her to help Carla to look for her lost umbrella. They decided to go back to the bookstore. They were approaching the shop when they saw a girl standing there, with an umbrella in her hand.
It was the very new red umbrella she had bought. On seeing them, the girl walked towards Carla and recognized her. She gave her back the umbrella and kept apologizing. With a butterfly in her stomach, Carla asked whether she was Marissa or not. To Paul's surprise, the girl nodded with a smile. The three of them went to a coffee shop and sat down, chatting and laughing. They exchanged their study and work and the legal advice Marissa needed. After Paul and Marissa left, Carla went home full of satisfaction.

M: Would you lend me a hand and translate the instruction for me?
W: Sorry, I am rather busy this morning. How about tomorrow afternoon? I'll be available then.
（Text 2）
W: Excuse me. Would you mind giving this credit card to Tom and asking him to give it to his brother?
M: No, certainly not. Tom is out for purchases with his colleague. I will preserve it for the time being.
W: OK. But don't forget to give it to him.
（Text 3）
M: The office manager is leaving. I've been here for ten years. I should get that job.
W: Well, if you've worked hard and they like your work, there's no reason why you shouldn't.
M: I'm disappointed that they don't pick me.
（Text 4）
W: I have been waiting here for almost half an hour. Why are you so late?
M: Sorry for having you wait so long. I was stuck in the traffic jam near the train station after work.
W: The opera is about to begin. The audience have entered. Let's hurry up.
（Text 5）
M: Susan, do you know what traditional Chinese painting mainly includes?
W: Yes. It mainly includes landscape painting, figures, birds and flowers.
M: So which do you like best?
W: I love looking at figure paintings most.
（Text 6）
W: OK, so we need to organize a charity event. What about the idea of a sports day?
M: Um, I agree that it would be nice, but I don't think it's practical. I don't think we'd have enough time to set it all up. Maybe we could arrange a carwash instead. How does that sound to you?
W: Well, the weather is awful these days. It's pretty cold and rainy.
M: Yeah, I see what you mean. How do you feel about the idea of a cake sale? That's something we could do indoors.
W: I'm just not sure we'd make much money selling cakes. Maybe a book sale is the best option. It would be quick to organize.
M: Good point. That's better than having an art exhibition.
（Text 7）
M: So, Anna, if you answer this question correctly, we'll put $1 million in your bank account today. Are you ready?
W: Yes. Please go ahead.
M: Well, here's the question. Who was the first woman to go into space?
W: The answer is American astronaut Sally K. Ride.
M: Oh, Anna, I'm afraid that's incorrect.
W: I'm sorry, I just remembered Valentina Tereshkova.
M: Yes, the Russian. I'm afraid I need to take your first answer. But you still walkaway with $250, 000.
W: I guess that's something.
M: Indeed. Ladies and gentlemen, around of applause for Anna Edison.
W: Thank you.

W: Aren't you supposed to be studying for the driver's test?
M: I'm supposed to be, but I can't focus my mind. Reading this book is deadly.
W: I know, but if you don't work on that, you'll never pass the test. Try to focus.
M: I've tried to remember the rules of the road, but my mind keeps wandering and I'm almost ready to give it up.
W: No, you can't do that. You have to be serious about this. I'm watching you.
M: What's in it for you? What do you care about?
W: I've been carrying you around since I got my driver's license and I don't plan on doing it for one second more than I have to.
M: All right, all right, I’ll study, but not because you're telling me to.
W: Oh, yeah? Why?
M: I want to see the look on your face the first time Dad gives me the car key instead of you!
（Text 9）
W: We're developing a new technology that can detect forest fires as soon as they start.
M: That sounds amazing. Given how many fires there have been recently, it's something the world extremely needs.
W: Indeed. In 2020 alone, California had over 8,600 fires, losing roughly 4% of the state's trees.
M: That is truly surprising.
W: Yes. The other place where it will be useful is Australia. At the start of the year, there were 50 separate forest fires burning across the country.
M: So how will your new detection system work?
W: We're going to use a new range of satellites which have heat cameras.
M: Don't other satellites have those?
W: Yes, but none is so advanced. They can detect a fire the size of a football field. The new one can sense a fire the size of a car.
M: And will that be enough of a difference to stop the fire from spreading?
W: We believe so. Hopefully it will give firefighters enough time to stop it before it gets too big. If they get the plane up in time they could stop it dead.
M: If it works, I really hope you get recognition for it.
W: I just want to try and stop trees from burning, and more importantly, protect the poor animals that live in them.
M: I know, we often only consider the human cost, never the animal one.

Brian Kaneis a rubbish collector in Denver, Colorado. He rides on the back of a garbage truck. At each stop, he jogs to the back of buildings, then drag heavy rubbish cans to the truck. Brian never complains.
On his thirtieth birthday, Brian took a leave from his job and flew to Nepal to begin the long, difficult journey up Mount Qomolangma.
Brian first climbed to a basecamp. He planned to bring three oxygen containers with him to the top. At 29,028 feet, it would be hard to survive without extra oxygen. Over the next two months, Brian climbed to 26,000 feet, to Camp Four—the last place to rest below the top of the mountain. But when Brian saw this camp, he fell to his knees. “Rubbish!” he cried. Nearly a thousand empty oxygen containers littered the camp area. Humans had turned this beautiful, far-away place into a big rubbish pile. Brian was very sad. But with a strong determination he continued to follow his dream. Two days later he stood proudly on the top of Mount Qomolangma. He had reached the “roof of the world”!
Two days after this great achievement, Brian put a dozen empty oxygen containers in his pack and headed down the mountain. He smiled to himself a she realized that the work of a rubbish collector is great and never done.
