The San Francisco Giants added a special pitcher(棒球投手) for the day. It was small-- yet fierce-- Hailey Dawson, who has a 3D-printed hand.

The energetic 8-year-old from Nevada was invited to throw out the first pitch at the Giants game on Sunday. Dawson was born with Poland syndrome, a disorder in which affected individuals are born with missing or underdeveloped muscles on one side of the body. It affected her hand.

With a traditional prosthesis potentially costing thousands of dollars, Hailey's mom, Yong Dawson turned to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for help. She emailed UNLV engineering, and they accepted the challenge. Brendan O'Toole, the chairman of the mechanical engineering department, said he and his team had got a lot of requests, “but this one is different. " They got to work using a 3D-printer. Several prototypes and fittings later, Dawson got her first hand about four years ago.

Hailey's mother said the hand had given her daughter a wonderful lift. “When she puts this robotic hand on, it changes her personality and gains her self-belief.”Yong Dawson told CBS San Francisco. “I love seeing that. I just want her to have an even playing field. ”

When she arrived at AT&T Park on Sunday, Hailey got to hang out with players in the shelter at the side of the sports field. They even let her try on their World Series rings.

Using her 3D-printed hand, Dawson threw out the first perfect pitch. Then with a wave and a smile,she headed into the stand to cheer on her newfound friends on the Giants.

4.What caused the function loss of Hailey's hand?

1. A serious brain disorder.     B. A born physical problem.

C. An awful game accident.     D. An unexpected infection.

5.Why did Yong Dawson ask the University of Nevada for help?

A. She couldn't find a suitable hospital.           B. She knew it had the advanced 3D-printer.

C. She couldn't afford a traditional prosthesis.      D. She was forced to accept the challenge.

6.What is Hailey's mother's attitude towards the 3D-printed hand?

A. Skeptical.     B. Positive.     C. Ambiguous.     D. Cautious.

7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

Global fast-food giant McDonald's announced it would be phasing out(逐步淘汰)plastic straws(吸管)in China. The move is expected to reduce plastic waste by about 400 tons a year. According to the announcement, from June 30, nearly 1,000 stores in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen began to phase out plastic straws for both dine-in and take-out, expanding to all stores in China by the end of 2020. Diners would drink cold beverages directly through the new cup cover.

Zhang Jiayin, CEO of McDonald's China, expressed that McDonald's is devoted to building up an environmentally friendly “beautiful China”. “We believe that taking advantage of McDonald's influence worldwide, reducing straws can be a huge step for sustainable development. In the past decade or so, we have continued to carry out the green packaging action.” Zhang said, “This movement is playing a positive role in the protection of the ecological environment.”

The move is in keeping with China's national plan to phase out single-use plastics which came into effect in January of this year, in an effort to combat its growing trash problem.

Among other things, the government carries out a nationwide ban on plastic straws, disposable cutlery(一次性餐具), as well as plastic bags in major cities by the end of 2020, and nationwide by 2022.

Plastic has increasingly played a role in global solid waste, and has choked oceans and rivers as well as landfills. Both companies and volunteers in the past few years have taken it upon themselves to respond to this plastic problem in their own ways.

8．What happened to McDonald's in 2020?

A．It banned using plastic package in all stores.

B．It successfully dealt with China's trash problem.

C．It started to get rid of using plastic straws in China.

D．It became the first company to ban plastic straws in China.

9．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A．Environment      B．Science     C．Education   D．Entertainment

10．What can we know about plastic according to the passage?

A．It is a kind of poisonous material.        B．It should be banned in all fields.

C．It has been solved completely so far.     D．It results in a growing waste problem.

11．What's the main idea of the text?

A．The growing trash problems in China.     B．The importance of eco-friendly straws.

C．The devotion to building a green China. D．How to reduce environmental pollution in China.

D

A build-it-yourself solar still（蒸馏器） is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a “5*5” sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container — perhaps just a drinking cup — to catch the water．These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.

To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up — and out — the side of the hole．

Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup．

The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink.

12．What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?

A．It’s portable.    B．It’s expensive.     C．It’s complex.  D．It’s delicate.

13．What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．The still.       B． The tube.      C．The hole.      D．The cup.

14．What’s the last step of constructing a working solar still?

A．Dig a hole of a certain size.        B．Put the cup in place.

C．Weight the sheet’s center down.     D．Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.

15．When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup form ______.

A．the plastic tube     B．outside the hole    C．the open air     D．beneath the sheet

Building a Green Campus

The campaign of “building a green campus” has been launched in our school, whose aim is to call on us to save resources and raise our awareness of environmental protection.

Waste on campus can be seen everywhere, which has become an increasingly serious problem. Food is thrown away everywhere, which will do harm to the environment. It is everyone’s responsibility to build a green campus. First of all, we’d better carry on the campaign of “cleaning the plate”. Besides, we should resist using disposable chopsticks and recycle the plastic bags, which are basic measures to protect the environment on campus.

In a word, building a green campus needs all of us to make joint efforts by doing pieces of small matters in our daily life. Start now and start from here. Let’s build a green campus.
