A hydroelectric plumbing (水力发电的管道) system
Students from Mary Webb School and Science College in Shrewsbury made a hydroelectric plumbing system designed to reduce energy wastage. Their product aims to make use of water flowing through the pipes in our homes, by fitting a device into household water pipes that acts as a mini hydroelectric generator.
The rainwater-harvesting bench

This week was busier than usual, and I was in need of sleep or rest today. All I wanted to do was go home and enjoy a bowl of good hot soup. But when I saw my daughter’s car, I knew that it was Bryan’s night. Since his parents separated, I had tried to have my six-year-old grandson spend a few hours with me at least once a week. I had always tried to make it a special time for him. We did many interesting things. Bryan loved all these activities, and so did I.
But today I had to give up our evening. I knew how tired I was, so I just said, “Bryan, I’m sorry. Tonight I don’t feel like having fun or playing games. We’ll have our night together some other time.”
He said, “I like soup, Grandma.” I knew he actually meant “Please don’t send me away. Please let me stay”. And I saw the shadow in Bryan’s eyes. Something else was changing. Maybe he thought I wouldn’t want to have him come anymore — not tonight, not next week, not ever. Finally, I said OK. And his eyes lighted up. After I put the soup on the desk and turned on the TV, I fell asleep.
When I woke up, there was a coat over my legs, and the soup was gone. Bryan was on the floor, reading a coloring book and watching a television show at the same time. The poor boy must have been so bored! When he found I was awake, he ran over and gave me a big hug. “I love you, Grandma,” he said. “Haven’t we had a nice time together?” His big smile and happy eyes told me that this time he meant exactly what he was saying. That was the keyword—together. We had done nothing exciting or special. But we were together.
24. What can we know from paragraph 1?
A．Bryan’s grandmother was tired.
B．Bryan’s mom drank a bowl of soup.
C．Bryan came with his father that day.
D．Bryan played with his parents that day.
25. Why did the author agree to spend time with Bryan?
A．She was required to do so.
B．She was not good at saying no.
C．She wanted to play games with Bryan.
D．She didn’t want to leave Bryan disappointed.
26. Which word can replace the underlined word “shadow” in paragraph 3?
A．sickness B．selfishness C．kindness D．sadness
27. Which of the following can best describe Bryan?
A．Young but loud. B．Careful and loving.
C．Noisy but curious. D．Brave and clever.
Children seem to care so much about their names. A study shows that most of young people wish their parents had given them a different name.
Some people choose to change their names when they grow up. Many people in show business don’t use the names their parents gave them. Have you ever listened to Joanne? No? The answer could be “yes” if we call her stage name instead! You may never heard of Margaret. But if we tell you her stage name, you might know her as a famous dancer.
In many cultures, there are special ideas about how to choose a name. For example, many people choose a name that has been in their family for many years. It tells the child where he or she comes from.
Choosing a good name isn’t easy. Many parents search books that tell them the meanings of names. They co uld choose a name that carries a message. For example, Edith means “valuable gift”. Amanda means “love”. And Fara means “joy”.
Names like these tell family and friends how happy they are with their new baby. Other names can say something about the events during the birth of the child. In Africa, a first born son may have the name Mosi and the name Ama means “born on Saturday”.
Is every boy called Curitis polite? And is every girl called Mahira quick and full of energy? No parents can tell what kind of person their child will grow up to be. Just because parents name a boy Fahim, it doesn’t mean he will be clever. All they can do is hope.
28. What can we know about the study?
A．Young kids don’t care about their future.
B．Most of young people care about their names.
C．Most girls want to change their names.
D．Most parents want to rename by themselves.
29. Why is “Joanne” mentioned in paragraph 2?
A．To prove some people hope to be renamed.
B．To introduce a famous dancer to readers.
C．To introduce her true name.
D．To tell the benefit of name.
30. Why is it difficult to choose a good name?
A．Kids always want to rename.
B．It is hard to change kids’ names.
C．Parents aren’t sure if their kids will like the name.
D．Parents want to choose a meaningful name.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A．Names can never influence our lives B．Your parents’ wish is behind names
C．Love your parents, love your name D．Methods to choose a suitable name
A study led by the University of Granada has made sure for the first time the number of steps at which most people can get health benefits. The study has provided the first scientific evidence for how many steps you need to take per day to reduce the risk of premature (过早的) death: about
8,000 steps. Given the length of a human step, taking 8,000 steps is just like walking about 6.4 kilometers a day.
The researchers conducted a systematic literature review and analysis of data from twelve international studies involving more than 110,000 participants. The results are in line with other recent studies, which show that health benefits are got at about 8,000 steps.
“What makes our study different is that, for the first time, we set clear step aims. It shows that measurable benefits can be got with small increases in the number of steps per day, and that for people with low levels of physical activity, every additional 500 steps improves their health. This is good news because not everyone can walk almost 8,000 steps a day, at least not at first, so you can set small, reachable goals and gradually make progress and increase the number of steps per day,” explains Esmée Bakker, one of the lead authors of the study.
So, should we stop walking when we reach around nine thousand steps? “Absolutely not,” Francisco B. Ortega, another l ead author of the study, said firmly. “More steps are never bad. Our study showed that even as many as 16.000 steps a day does not pose a risk; on the contrary, there are additional benefits compared to walking 7,000-9,000 steps a day.”
The study gives people clear and easily measurable goals. Here lies the importance of the study—to provide simple and concrete (具体的) aims for the number of daily steps that people can easily measure with their phones or smartwatches, and thereby contribute to people’s hea lth.
32. What can we learn about the study according to paragraph 1?
A．Its findings were based on scientific evidence.
B．It explored the length of a human step.
C．It proved the benefits of walking.
D．It found a new way to prevent premature death.
33. W hat does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The number of steps is becoming larger.
B．The number of steps is about 8,000 steps a day.
C．The number of the whole steps is about 500 steps.
D．The number of steps with a small increase can get benefits.
34. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A．To recommend a way to keep healthy.
B．To show the significance of the study.
C．To encourage people to walk more steps.
D．To prove the contribution of modern technology.
35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A．Education. B．Sports. C．Health. D．Environment.
World Water Day
Everyone needs water, and every drop is precious. On 22 March, World Water Day draws attention to the essential role of water in our lives. 36
We all need water to stay alive, but about two billion people around the world live without clean water in their homes 37 Many of them live in rural communities or in places where there are wars and conflicts. Meanwhile, climate change is making the little water they have access to less and less.
38 Thousands of children worldwide die every day from diarrhea caused by dirty water. In some countries, people walk many kilometers every day to get water, and sometimes the water isn’t clean. If children spe nd most of their day walking for water, they can’t go to school.
In 1992, the United Nations made a special day for water, and World Water Day has been celebrated on 22 March every year since 1993. On this day, many countries hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water. 39
Some charities organize fundraising events for World Water Day. People do things like sponsored walks, cycles and swims. 40 , where people walk four, eight or 12 kilometers each day in March to see how it feels when they have to walk a long way to get their drinking water. People give them money to do these things, and all this money helps provide clean water to as many people as possible around the world. So, this World Water Day, what will you do?

A new report suggests Canada’s Western Hudson Bay polar bear population 56 (drop) 27 percent during the past five years.
Every autumn, bears 57 (live) along the western edge of the Hudson Bay pass through the sub-Arctic town of Churc hill, Manitoba. The yearly movement has helped make the area’s bears one of the most studied 58 (group) in the world. Bear watching adds about $5.3 million to the local economy each year.
But a report 59 (recent) issued by the government in Canada’s no rthern territory(地区) of Nunavut found that just 618 polar bears remained in 60 area. This represented a 50percent drop in the population from the 1980s.
Polar bears depend on frozen salt water called sea ice 61 (help) them hunt seals for food But the Arctic is now warming about four times 62 (fast) than the rest of the world. Around Hudson Bay, seasonal sea ice is melting earlier in the spring and forming later in the fall. This is forcing bears to go longer periods 63 food.
John Whiteman, 64 is chief research scientist at the nonprofit conservation group. Polar Bears International, called the population drop “totally shocking”. He said, “Scientists fear that if continued sea ice loss cannot 65 (stop), it will one day lead to a total loss of the area’s polar bear population.”

Emily was a student, who was always shy and lacked confidence. She struggled to make friends and believed that she wasn’t good at anything. That started affecting her academic performance and overall happiness. She said to herself, “I’m a loser. I can’t get anything done.” She felt worried and tried to find solutions. However, unfortunately, all she had done was in vain.
One day, Emily’s teacher, Ms. Johnson, noticed her attitude and decided to help her regain her confidence. She said to Emily, “No one is born confident and strong. You have to make a change, so take the first step forward.” She encouraged Emily to participate in classroom activities and group projects. At first, Emily was hesitant, fearing that she would embarrass herself in front of her classmates. But with gentle encouragement and support from Ms. Johnson, she slowly started to overcome her fears. So she started to open up and take action to be better.
Ms. Johnson also noticed that Emily had a talent for writing. She suggested that Emily join the school newspaper team. Emily felt nervous about contributing her work, but the positive feedback from her peers and teachers improved her confidence. She saw that her unique views were value d by others. She started writing some essays to show everyone the desire for beauty in her heart. And the readers were amazed by her writings.
As Emily gained more confidence in her writing, she decided to take on new challenges. She joined the debate team, despite her fear of public speaking. With regular practice and guidance from her teammates, Emily gradually overcame her stage fright and found her voice in expressing her opinions. Obviously, she was successful in her speeches as well.
Outside of school, Emily discovered her passion for community service. She started volunteering at a local animal shelter, where she was able to make a positive impact on the lives of abandoned pets. The experience not only gave her a sense of purpose but also allowed her to connect with like-minded persons who shared the same love for animals.
