14. Joe Clark was a non-traditional high school president whose unusual way of encouraging his students became the subject of a 1989 Hollywood movie.
“Y ou are not inferior (低人一等)”was what Clark would often tell his students at Eastside High School in Paterson, New Jersey. Many of the Eastside students were African American or Latino. They grew up in a difficult environment. Many of the students who attended the school faced violence, crime, drugs and troubled family life.
Before becoming an educator, Clark served in the US Army. His experience might have influenced how he ran his school. He was known to walk around with a bull horn and a baseball bat. In Clark's first days of working at Eastside High School, he made the decision to expel 300 students for fighting, abusing teachers and drug possession. Clark believed that students had to be shocked often to understand the influences that could prevent them from succeeding in school and in life.
President Ronald Reagan offered Clark a White House policy adviser position after his success at the high school. In 1989, actor Morgan Freeman played Clark in the movie Lean on Me. That movie was based on Clark's experiences at Eastside High School.“Joe was a father figure to school kids,”Freeman said. “He was the best of the best in terms of education.”
Of course, not everyone supported his methods. One teacher, Franklin Hearn, said in 1988 that his methods were more like being in a labor camp than a public high school.
But Thomas McEntyre, one of the 300 students who were kicked out of Eastside High School, said, “I never really got a chance to... thank you. We are your product. You did not fail us. Although you kicked me out, you did not fail me. You bettered me.”
After he retired from Eastside in 1989, Clark wrote a book called Laying Down the Law. He described how he managed to turn Eastside High from a failing school into a success.
1. What can we learn about Eastside High School?
A．It once belonged to a labor camp.
B．Many students were not clever.
C．It was a special school for troubled kids.
D．Many students were from problem families.
2. What does the underlined word “expel” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Sign up.B．Search for.
C．Kick out.D．Focus on.
3. Who plays a role in the movie Lean on Me?

文章大意：本文是新闻报道。

每年，来自世界各地的年轻科学家聚集在一起，参加世界上最大的大学预科科学竞赛—英特尔国际科学与工程博览会。

文章报道了2019年的奖项获得者Katie在接受记着采访时，表达了科学生涯给她的启迪和她对人们并不是真正关心环境问题的担忧。

15. Every year, the brightest young scientists from around the globe come together to participate in the world’s largest pre-college science competition, the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair(ISEF). They demonstrate their knowledge of science and engineering to improve the way we work and live.
One of the winners, Katie Lu, found a method for removing oil from water. This concept can also be applied to the removal of microplastics from our oceans as well. Here is what Katie told reporters:
My experience at Intel ISEF was amazing! I remember on judging day, walking the exhibit hall and looking at the people gathered outside waiting to get in. My teacher turned to me and said, “That’s the future right there.” It was so amazing to spend time with all of these participants who are going to do amazing things in the future.
My scientific career has taught me not to fear failure and not to be afraid to ask for help. It’s really easy to be overwhelmed(挫败)and wonder if what you’re doing is going to work out, but even if it doesn’t, it’s OK! Always look on the positive side! A failure now doesn’t mean you’re a failure forever. Failure makes success feel earned when it comes. Also, asking for help is good when you’re struggling. Y ou learn how to do things a lot faster and more efficiently.
I’m shocked that some people are still skeptical about climate change. It’s real and dangerous, and it’ s one of the most important issues of our generation. Reducing carbon emissions isn’t a “should”, it is a “must” to continue living on the planet. Additionally, people aren’t really worried about their personal impact on the earth in terms of littering, overusing plastic or wasting resources. If we don’t curb harmful human activity before it’s too late, it will be a problem that affects all humans, not just those that contribute.
1. What can we learn from what Katie’s teacher said in Paragraph3?
A．No Intel ISEF, no future.B．Failure is the mother of success.
C．All the talents are at the Intel ISEF.D．The participants will make the future wonderful.
2. What docs Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A．The relationship between failure and success.
B．What Katie has gained from her scientific career.
C．Seeking help is a shortcut to doing things well.
D．The problems Katie experienced in her science.
3. The underlined word “curb” in the last paragraph probably means_________.
A．control B．consider C．notice D．predict
4. What does Katie care about most?
A．Ocean exploration.B．Environmental problems.
C．The shortage of natural energy.D．The overpopulation on the earth.

文章通过研究讲述了传播种子的动物是必不可少的，对生态系统有益，但是这些动物目前处于危险中。

七、阅读理解
16.
Making use of the wind, the water or, for more than half of all plant species, animals, plants disperse (散播) seeds far and wide. Frugivores —animals such as gibbons that feed on the fleshy fruits of plants — eat and then excrete (排泄) seeds away from the original tree. The African savanna elephant can carry seeds up to a record-breaking distance of 65 kilometres. This ability to shift geographical ranges will be crucial to plants when it comes to surviving climate change. However, just like all gibbon species, the African savanna elephant is endangered, its population down by 60percent over the past 50 years.
Researchers in Denmark and the USA have published a new study into how the loss of seed-dispersing animals could affect the resilience (恢复
力) of forests and other natural ecosystems. According to their research, this loss has already reduced the ability of plants to move in pace with
climate change by 60 percent, and in some areas by as much as 95 percent.
Evan Fricke, lead author of the study, explains that in order to reach these results, they pulled together existing data from all previous studies and used machine learning to develop models that could estimate the seed dispersal potential of any animal, even ones that are now extinct.
The researchers found that, historically, the decline of seed-dispersing animals has had the greatest influence on plants across the temperate (温带
的) regions of North and South America, Europe and southern Australia. “Our temperate ecosystems have lost a lot of the natural seed-dispersal
function that they would have had.” explains Fricke, referring to large mammals that were once widespread in these regions.
Nevertheless, the poor conservation status of many seed-dispersing tropical animals puts plants in regions such as Southeast Asia and Madagascar most at risk today. Without the preservation of such animals, global seed dispersal could decline by a further 15 percent. “The direct implication of this decline is that many plant species will be unable to keep pace with a changing climate,” says Fricke. “That means the potential loss not only of plant biodiversity but of the ecosystem functions that those plants provide.”
As wildlife is lost, plants can no longer adapt and survive and forests become less sustainable, which reduces the amount of carbon they can store. They also lose their ability to support wildlife. Whole ecosystems are disrupted. The conclusion, Fricke says, is clear: we must conserve currently endangered species and restore the populations of important seed dispersers. “Independent of climate change, rewilding has the potential to benefit our ecosystems, but in a changing climate, it has the added benefit of increasing the climate resilience of those ecosystems,” he says.1. The author mentions the African savanna elephant in Paragraph 1 is to ________.
A ．highlight the problem
B ．predict the ending
C ．express an opinion
D ．provide a solution
2. What does Fricke conclude from the study?
A ．plants disperse seeds by way of animals excreting them.
B ．rewilding can promote the climate resilience of our ecosystems.
C ．seed-dispersing animals could hardly affect the natural ecosystems.
D ．the loss of seed-dispersing animals has little influence on temperate regions.
3. Which would be the best title of the passage?
A ．The Resilience of Ecosystems
B ．The Conservation of Seed-dispersing Animals
C ．Animals That Spread Seeds Are Essential — And Under Threat
D ．Animals That Spread Seeds Are Endangered — And Well Protected

It’s not the only major forest in danger Nearly half of the world’s forests that 6 (stand) when humans started farming are now gone. The chief reason is the expansion 7 agriculture into forested areas. In Brazil it’s cattle ranching, soy production and logging, according to Nigel Sizer, tropical forest ecologist. “It is responsible for 80% to 90% of 8 loss of tropical forests around the world.” Environmental groups say these activities can 9 (slow) in a much more sustainable way.
