nervous on the night before the event that she wasn’t able to fall asleep. The next morning, her
f riend reminded her of a message from another disabled girl, readin
g “Althoug
h we are not perfect, we are still pretty”. It gave her much courage to put a punch (痛击) in the nose for prejudice against disabled people. When the other models appeared, the audience cheered and applauded, but when it was Niu’s turn, the venue suddenly fell silent Niu recalled that after some seconds, she clearly heard a female audience sigh in admiration, “so cool!” Through the activity, Niu wants to convey a message to the world, “People should respect people with difference and allow them to shine.”
Niu lost her right leg after she was buried for three days during the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake. She was 11 years old then and a member of the school track and field team.

3. LEGO has been working on the way to make bricks out of recycled plastic. The bricks aren’t ready yet, but the company says it’s going ahead.
Many people are familiar with LEGO, whose plastic building toys have been around since the 1950s. The toys connect firmly, allowing users to build things that don’t fall apart easily. The company calls this ability “clutch power”. Since about 1960, LEGO bricks have been made from a kind of plastic called ABS. ABS plastic makes the bricks very tough, which gives them great clutch power. Sadly, the plastic takes an extremely long time to break down. And LEGO makes about 110 billion bricks every year. That’s a big problem.
But since 2015, LEGO has been stepping up an effort to make its products more earth-friendly. Three years ago, the company began making some LEGO parts, like trees, out of plastic made from sugar cane (甘蔗). Recently, LEGO started using paper bags instead of plastic to reduce packaging. The goal is to make bricks out of PET plastic, which is softer than ABS plastic and can be found in things like bottles and clothing.
Now, LEGO says it has already found a way to make a good brick from PET. One important step was adding things to PET plastic to make it tougher and give it better clutch power. The company is also working to find a way to add color to the bricks –right now, they’re white. It will also work on making them into other shapes.
LEGO’s goal is to make all of its main products out of sustainable materials by 2030. “My kids care about the environment,” said Mr. White, a regular consumer of LEGO toys, “Even though it will be a while before they will be able to play with bricks made from recycled plastic, all of us are willing to embrace the change.”
1. LEGO company has used ABS plastic to make bricks for over ________ years.
A．60 B．70 C．80 D．90
2. The company added things to PET plastic because ________.
A．it has no color B．it is a little soft
C．it has no clutch power D．it’s hard to break down
3. Which word can best describe Mr White’s attitude to LEGO’s efforts?
A．Negative. B．Uncaring. C．Supportive. D．Critical.
4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．ABS plastic makes mass production impossible.
B．Toys made from PET have been on the market now.
C．The company once used paper bags to make LEGO parts.
D．Bricks made from PET will have more colors and shapes in the future.
4. As an up-and-coming business model, smart restaurants have been more popular across China since last year. Unlike traditional ones, these restaurants offer an all-new dining experience with robots around. They are characterized by automated (自动化的) services that reduce the need for human waiters and waitresses.
At the restaurants, processes such as ordering, preparing, cooking and serving food, as well as dining and checking out, are all helped by robots and an artificial intelligence (AI) system. The system is also able to identify food about to expire (过期) and properly clean it up before receiving a new order, explained a manager in Haidilao, a smart restaurant in Beijing.
Since last year, there has been a rising need for automated systems to support contact-less dining at restaurants. The dining type was aimed at preventing the further spread of COVID-19 after its outbreak. In China, Haidilao is one of many restaurants that have changed their services.
The changes in restaurants also benefit another industry. To take up the new business opportunity, various robot companies flourish in China, including Siasun and Keenon, which are engaged in the research and development of robots for restaurant services. Two Keenon robots are able to serve 20 to 30 tables, as the information from Keenon showed. It means that such a robot can largely save labor costs and improve efficiency. Moreover, the robots are able to show a QR code to customers to make a payment. Besides these, smart restaurants can also ensure food safety better. Compared with traditional ones, smart restaurants can provide a means for monitoring food safety information and reduce the chance of food pollution. With so many advantages, no wonder these smart restaurants have attracted more customers to dine there.
1. Why are smart restaurants so popular with customers these days?
A．They offer more delicious food.
B．They prevent human contact in the restaurants.
C．They save labor costs and improve dining efficiency.
D．They provide a completely different dining experience.
2. What can a robot do in the smart restaurants?
① prepare food ② receive orders ③ serve customers ④make payments ⑤ identify food
A．①②③④B．①②③⑤C．①③④⑤D．②③④⑤
3. What does “flourish” underlined in paragraph 4 refer to?
C．Develop quickly. D．Decline rapidly.
A．Appear suddenly. B．Change
gradually.
4. Which can be the most suitable tittle for the text?
A．Restaurants Are to Go Smart
B．Robots Are Becoming Smarter in Our Daily Life
C．Restaurants Have Changed Service
D．Robots Stepped Into Our Daily Life
5. Train your brain to be smarter
You go to a gym to train your muscles. You run or hike to build your endurance (耐力). 1 Training it could not only speed up your memory recall, but also help you learn faster. If you want your brain to be smarter, try some of these basic methods below.
2 We are social creatures, and the people we surround ourselves with can have a huge impact on the way we think, and on our opinions and behaviors. By associating yourself with intelligent people, you could indirectly develop your own thinking skills and attitudes to life, success and personal development. So, as cold as it might sound, you might want to think again about the fiends you spend most of your time with.
Get enough sleep. Sleep is a very important factor when keeping your mind and body in tip-top shape. Any lack of rest or relaxation, and excessive stress can seriously reduce the efficiency of your brain function. The human brain requires a large amount of energy to function. 3 Some studies also show that a persistent lack of seep can reduce your IQ. So, make sure you get enough shut-eye! Form a habit of reading. Reading exposes you to new ideas and can influence and improve your mind. Reading also improves your general knowledge, making you more capable of holding interesting conversations and relating different concepts. It is said that highly successful people read, on average, one book a week. 4
Keep a diary. Constantly taking notes or writing down things or ideas effectively creates an extension (延伸) of your mind. Thoughts are changeable things at times and unless written down, they can be lost for good. 5 One of those random thoughts could be your path to freedom and fortune.

9. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Years ago, my daughter Hope was in a forth grade class with a group of children neighbourhood. Most of the children in Hope’s class had at least one parent working in a factory. Hope loved her class and often told me stories of her classmates, including a boy named Robert who was in trouble a lot. He always stood in the corner for poor behavior in class. I volunteered to act as “the classroom mom”, meaning brought snacks and planned parties and special outings for her class, even though I worked full-time as a social worker.
One day I saw Robert standing in the corner and asked the teacher if he could join our Mother’s Day party. She refused, saying he needed to learn a lesson. I wasn’t sure what he had done to make the teacher place him in the corner, but I felt sad for him as we ate cakes and played games while he continued to face the corner. After the party, I asked Hope what was wrong with Robert. “It seemed that he went to school only for basketball. He didn’t listen to our teacher in class and he talked bac k. If you were his mother, I bet he wouldn’t talk back,” Hope said. I knew Robert’s smother worked long hours in the paper-making factory. I knew she was a good woman, who found it hard to care for her four children alone. She tried her best, but I was sure there were days when she felt hopeless and was unable to manage it.
Hope said Robert often got angry in class when he didn’t know the answer to a question and couldn’t read as well as the other children. Hope’s words struck me and made me think about whether I could help Robert on a one-to-one basis. His teacher allowed me to come two days a week during my lunch break and help Robert with reading. We read second grade-level books, the highest level he could master.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150词左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。

Slowly he began to master these books, almost enjoying them.
________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________
At the end of the fourth grade, Robert and his classmates took the final exams.
