A
I started working with my hands at a young age. The youngest of five brothers, I took on the role as a “maintenance (维修) man” at an early age for our family’s small grocery store. Often my dad wouldn’t give me a clear idea of how something shouldbe done, so I just had to figure it out by researching or through trial and error.
Fast forward to 2016 and those problem-solving skills would become the focus of Tippecanoe High School’s Homebuilding class. I knew I wanted to teach the students skills that went beyond just being able to hammer nails or cut pieces of two-by-fours. The problem was that we didn’t have the resources at the time to do much else. The idea of attracting some type of funding seemed very important. Designing, building and selling a tiny house on wheels seemed like the perfect project to accomplishthe task. I reached out to a number of local businesses and most of them responded with the greatest support for what x k w we were doing.
This year we added a new element to the program. Through one of our partners, we were able to connect with the nonprofit Veteran’s Ananda Incorporated. Students in the Homebuilding class are leading the design and production of micro houses to be donated to this organization. The new partnership gives the students another focus to consider when designing and building the houses.
There has been no shortage of students since our first year. Three years ago we had 41 students, the next 191, and this year it was limited to just over 160 students so we could have a safe and manageable classroom environment. The number of girls taking the class has risen steadily over the last few years as well. This class offers something for everyone and the skills are universal.
1. How can we describe the young author?
A. He opened a small grocery store.
B. He did a lot of research in the lab.
C. He enjoyed doing hands-on activities.
D. He learnt about maintenance from his father.
2. What do the underlined words “the task” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Getting some financial support.
B. Selling a tiny house on wheels.
C. Reaching out to many local businesses.
D. Offering the students some problem-solving skills.
3. What can be inferred about the Homebuilding class from the last paragraph?
A. Its size needs increasing.
B. Itis popular with the students.
C. It has caused some safety concerns.
D. Its classroom environment is hard to manage.
B
It was once a shoreline buried by enough garbage to make it invisible (看不见的), thus, given the unfortunate nickname "toilet bowl" . Now the Philippines' Manila Bay beach is totally different, compared with a few months ago. It happened so suddenly and extremely that it brought tears to the eyes of the local people.
The cleanup started on 27 January, when 5, 000 volunteers descended on Manila Bay to remove over 45 tons (公吨) of garbage, marking the beginning of a nation-wide environmental campaign. But some two months before this great movement began, a quiet revolution was already underway.
During the first week of December 2018, Brooklyn- based Bounties Network collectedthree tons of garbage from Manila Bay aver two days through a project that paid a small group of people, mostly fishermen, with a digital currency (数字货币) based on the Ethereum system.
For the mostly non-bank -using Filipino fishermen, this was a first-ever experience with a digital currency. It's one that proves decisive in enabling poor communities around the world to take up arms in the fight against humanity's waste.
There are signs that this recycling-for-digital payment industry may be just about to take off. Earlier in September 2018, Plastic Bank, a Vancouver -based company powered by IBM technology, also started a similar project. They set up a project in Naga, a town in southern Luzon, the country's largest island, building a collection point to let people exchange plastic and recyclable materials for digital payouts through a system.
That both these pioneers have chosen the Philippines as their first location is not surprising considering the country's contribution to ocean waste. A Wall Street Journal study in 2015 revealed that the Philippines make the third-largest amount of plastic waste into global oceans.
4. Why did people call Manila Bay beach“toilet bowl” ?
A. It looked like a huge bowl.
B. There were plenty of toilets.
C. It was covered by rubbish.
D. People loved the toilets here.
5. What does the underlined phrase“descended on”in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Completely depended on.
B. Suddenly arrived at.
C. Occasionally decreased to.
D. Gradually disappeared from.
6. What made poor communities willing to fight against waste?
A. The benefits to their homeland.
B. The desire to make a difference.
C. The chance to escape ocean pollution.
D. The experience with a digital currency.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Online system helps endocean pollution.
B. Manila Bay beach is suddenly removed.
C. Plastic Bank is powerful in recycling waste.
D. Philippines make a great amount of waste.
C
Dogs are often referred to as “man's best friend”. But MacKenzie, a four-pound Chihuahua (奇瓦瓦狗), who was named winner of the 2020 American Hero Dog competition, is making the world a better place for humans and animals alike. Often called the “Oscars for dogs”, the award recognizes dogs who make great contributions to society.
This year's competition attracted over 400 competitors from across the country. While all were impressive, it was tiny MacKenzie who won the judges' hearts. Born at a rescue shelter in Hilton, New York, in 2013, she had a cleft palate (腭裂) that required her to be tube fed for the first year of her life. A life-saving operation, performed in 2014, gave her the ability to eat and drink independently, enabling the tiny dog to focus on doing what she loved most: taking care of others.
The seven-year-old Chihuahua is now gainfully “employed” by the Mid Foundation, a Rochester, New York-based non-profit organization that shelters and cares for animals born with disabilities. MacKenzie's official job is “to provide love and care for baby rescue animals born with birth defects”. The Chihuahua is good at her job and hasnurturedmany different species-from puppies to kittens to turkeys, squirrels, birds and even a goat. She acts as their mother and teaches them how to socialize, play, and have good manners.
In addition to her role as an animal caretaker, MacKenzie also has the important job of greeting the foundation's volunteers and friends. The incredible dog, who has lost her ability to bark, also visits area schools to help children understand physical disabilities in both animals and people. Her heart-warming and inspiring story makes MacKenzie worthy of America's top dog honor!
8. What made MacKenzie American Hero Dog?
A. Being man's best friend.
B. Her struggle with disabilities.
C. Rescuing animals with disabilities.
D. Her contributions to a better world.
9. What can we infer about MacKenzie from Paragraph 2?
A. Her growth path was not easy.
B. She was deserted by her owner.
C. She was operated on at two years old.
D. She still needs taking care of by others.
10. What does the underlined word “nurtured” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Trained.
B. Comforted.
C. Tended.
D. Abused.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. MacKenzie—The Most Hard-working Dog
