Bks have tremendus pwer. Between their pages, readers can be transprted t anywhere imaginable and becme just abut anyne r
anything. Unfrtunately, many children all ver the wrld dn’t have access t bks. Fr several years nw, Maria Keller, a 14-year-ld girl frm
Minneaplis, Minnesta, has been changing that fact.
When she was 8 years ld, Maria already lved reading. She als nticed that sme f her classmates didn’t read as much as she did. When she
asked her mther why that culd be, her mther said that they might nt be able t affrd bks. Maria had never thught f this. She culd nt believe
that sme children might nt have bedtime stries read t them. She became determined t change this.
With her mther’s help, Maria created Read Indeed. Read Indeed is a nn-prfit rganizatin aiming t cllect and distribute(分发) bks t
children in need. During the early stages f Read Indeed, Maria set the gal t cllect and distribute 1 millin bks by the time she was 18. It didn’t
take lng t reach that gal.
Tday, at age 14, she has cllected ver 1.8 millin bks and has shipped them t many states and cuntries arund the wrld. She says, “I cannt
live withut bks. As I cntinue my missin, I have learned that the number f kids wh have n bks are in the hundreds f millins. S I just can’t
give up, even after reaching my riginal gal f 1 millin bks distributed.”

She recently set a new gal: t distribute dnatins t kids in need in every state in the United States, and every cuntry in the wrld. She keeps
track f her prgress n a large map at the warehuse(仓库) where they stre and srt bks. Maria believes that she can get supprt frm even mre
peple and help kids arund the wrld t becme better readers!

Over the centuries the French have lst a number f famus battles with the British. Hwever, they’ve always felt superir in the kitchen. France has
fr centuries had a reputatin fr cking excellence, and Britain fr sme f the wrst cking in the wrld. But accrding t a recent survey, that
reputatin may n lnger reflect reality.
In the survey, 71% f the Britns said they ck at hme every day, while nly 59% f the French said they ck daily. British hme cks spend
mre time cking each week and als prduce a greater variety f dishes than French hme cks.
The reactin in Lndn was predictably enthusiastic. British fd has greatly imprved since the 1990s. Once upn a time, the menu fr many family
meals wuld have been rast beef, ptates and ver-cked vegetables, but nt nw. Hme cks are experimenting with the huge range f
ingredients nw available in British supermarkets and are preparing all kinds f new dishes, using the ckbks that sell millins f cpies every year. As
a result, there’s much mre diversity in British fd nw, cmpared t French fd, which tends t be very traditinal.
Sme French peple say that the survey did nt shw the whle picture. They agree that during the week French wmen dn’t ck as much as
they used t because mst f them wrk and dn’t have much time. They tend t buy ready-made r frzen dishes, but many f them make up fr it
n the weekend. There’s als a difference between Paris and the cuntryside. It’s true that peple in Paris dn’t ck much, but elsewhere, cking
is still at the heart f daily life.
Fr many French peple, pinins abut British fd have nt changed. When Bernard Blier, the fd editr at a magazine, was asked abut British
fd, he replied: “I dn’t g ut f my way t try it. It is nt very refined. Yu can say that I’m nt a fan at all.”
【小题1】Accrding t the passage, nwadays British peple ______.
A．ck less at hme than the French every day.
B．n lnger eat rast beef and ver-cked vegetables.
C．are mre willing t try cking all kinds f new fds.
D．buy mre ckbks than French peple d.
【小题2】What can we infer frm the furth paragraph?
A．French wmen ck less ften nw.
B．The French prefer ready-made dishes.
C．French wmen seldm ck n the weekend.
D．Cking is at the heart f peple’s life in Paris.

【小题3】What is Bernard’s attitude twards British fd?
A．He wuld lve t try it.
B．He shws n interest in it.
C．He cnsiders it wrse than befre.
【小题4】What des the passage mainly talk abut?
A．The histry f British fd.
D．He cnsiders it better than befre.
B．The histry f French fd.
D．The change in French fd.
C．The change in British fd.
Research has fund that using wd fr cnstructin instead f cncrete and steel can reduce emissins. But Tim Searchinger at Princetn University
says many f these studies are based n the false fundatin that harvesting wd is carbn neutral (碳中和). “Only a small percentage f the wd
gets int a timber (木料) prduct, and a part f that gets int a timber prduct that can replace cncrete and steel in a building,” he says. Efficiencies
vary in different cuntries, but large amunts f a harvested tree are left t be divided int parts, used in shrt-lived prducts like paper r burned fr
energy, all f which generate emissins.
In a reprt fr the Wrld Resurces Institute, Searchinger and his clleagues have mdelled hw using mre wd fr cnstructin wuld affect
emissins between 2010 and 2050, accunting fr the emissins frm harvesting the wd. They cnsidered varius types f frests and parts f wd
ging twards cnstructin. They als factred in the emissins savings frm replacing cncrete and steel.
Under sme circumstances, the researchers fund significant emissins reductins. But each case required what they cnsidered an unrealistically
high prtin f the wd ging twards cnstructin, as well as rapid grwth nly seen in warmer places, like Brazil. In general, they fund a large
increase in glbal demand fr wd wuld prbably lead t rising emissins fr decades. Accunting fr emissins in this way, the researchers reprted
in a related paper that increasing frest harvests between 2010 and 2050 wuld add emissins equal t rughly 10 percent f ttal annual emissins.
Ali Amiri at Aalt University in Finland says the reprt’s cnclusins abut emissins frm rising demand are prbably crrect, but the stry is
different fr wd we already harvest. “Bsting the efficiency f current harvests and using mre wd fr lnger-lived purpses than paper wuld
cut emissins,” he says. “We cannt just say we shuld stp using wd.”
【小题1】What is wrng with previus researches accrding t Searchinger?
A．They gt wrng statistics.
B．They used an incrrect cncept.
C．They included t many factrs.
【小题2】What des paragraph 2 mainly talk abut?
A．The prcess f the new research.
C．The challenge f the new research.
D．They were applied in limited cuntries.
B．The backgrund f the new study.
D．The achievements f the new study.
【小题3】When will the emissins drp ff greatly accrding t the new study?
A．When wd grws slwly.
B．When wd is largely used t make paper.
C．When wd is largely used in cnstructin in cuntries like Brazil.
D．When wd is largely harvested in cuntries like Brazil.
【小题4】What is Ali Amiri’s attitude tward the new result?
A．Favrable.
B．Dubtful.
C．Critical.
D．Objective.

I was brn and grew up in a small seaside twn. In my childhd, I ften played n the beach with my elder sister, chasing (追逐) the waves and
enjying the seaside scenery.
One sunny summer afternn, my sister and I were playing n a big rck quite a distance frm the beach. We were s happy that we didn’t ntice
the water rising. When we decided t g back, we were shcked t find that the rck had almst been cvered by water and there was n way back t
the shre. Meanwhile, the wind blew harder and harder. We gt int a panic, waving and shuting crazily twards the shre. Suddenly, I slipped (滑) and

“Help! Help!” We cried. I culd feel my bdy tingling (酸麻) as I tried t breathe fr air. I attempted t swim back t the rck, but the water was t
deep and the waves were t strng. What made things wrse was that the rugh water made it almst impssible fr anyne t hear ur cries. Tears
mixed with the water as I struggled in the sea. My sister, althugh using all her strength, wasn’t able t pull me in. Instead, she was being pushed apart
frm me by the big waves. The tw f us, scared t death, kept crying.
Luckily, tw bys playing n the beach happened t see us. They quickly fund a stick nearby and apprached us cautiusly, hand in hand. They
tried t pull us ashre with the stick. But the stick was t shrt fr us t reach. Wrse still, the wind was getting s strng that the tw bys were
rcked frm side t side, unable t stand steadily. Eventually, they had n chice but t g back t the shre t lk fr ther peple t help us.
