ASupport tech education for street youth in LebanonAbout CodeBraveWe train former street youth in digital skills, coding and robotics, helping them to secure jobs that are not only well-paid but future-proof too. We run our programme in a shelter for homeless children.We have now been successfully carrying out the programme since June 2018. In this time, our children have gone from barely knowing how to use a computer, to writing the code for basic websites totally from scratch. We want to carry on developing the programme in 2020 by continuing appropriate tech education of 2() children, and to engage a further 40 children.Former street youth are often forced into exploitative work.Young people living in shelter often end up back on the street as soon as they leave state care. They become trapped in a cycle of poverty, as they don't have marketable skills to secure well-paid work. Often the only work opportunities available to them are hard manual labour.Why is the tech sector a window of opportunity?Tech education provides young people with marketable skills in a sector where there is a growing demand and shortage of supply in the Middle East. It also gives them access to an international online job market.Where Your Money Will GoHelp us give former street youth in Lebanon an alternative to exploitative work through tech education.Flexible funding — this project will receive all donations made by 3rd April 2020 at 11:55pm£25 or moreFunds I student's coding & robotics education for a month.£50 or moreFunds a new Arduino robotics starter kit for our students.£100 or moreFunds 1 student through an internship(实习期)(for bus and lunch money).£300 or more Funds 1 student's coding & robotics education for 1 year.21.

In my family, it was just another step toward the American dream. As soon as I graduated, I enrolled （入学）in the English Department of Colorado State University. I went on to earn two scholarships, and membership in the National Honor Society. I truly believed the hard work was worth it.It wasn't until a few months ago that I realized how clueless I was. I had been combing through the classifieds when my eyes fell upon my dream job. t（National College Magazine looking for writers .”Thrilled, I spent the weekend composing a resume . Needless to say, I was stunned when the interviewer barely took one glance before throwing it aside."No experience," he said flatly.I felt like screaming, "What do you mean, no experience? Look at these grades・"I was left to absorb the shock of rejection, thinking that nobody ever told me that a 4. 0 student would be turned down for a job.Didn't all of my hard work count for anything?I see plenty of demands for two years of experience at a print publication, but none requiring extensive knowledge of how to write academic papers. Yet 95% of my energy in school went toward the latter, leaving me little time to devote to anything else. If career preparation is supposed to be the point of college, then why isn't it the focus?Has a college degree just become another societal status symbol like fancy cars or designer clothes?Given my experience, I feel that a college degree would be a lot more valuable if students were required to get some outside experience to supplement their in —class knowledge. Instead of requiring four science classes, why not three science classes and an internship? In my college career, I took one class that taught me how to write and submit essays for publication. This ever — so — brief taste of the real world was like holding an ice cream sundae in front of a child and only giving her a small bite.24. Why did the author study so hard at college?A. To maintain a family tradition.B. To land an ideal job.C. To fulfill parents' expectations.D. To win scholarships for the tution25 . What accounted for the author's failure in job hunting?A. His dull resume.B. His misjudgment in high scores.C. His lack of experience.D. His poor performance in the interview.26. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph imply?A. Academic writing is a small part of college life.B. College education always covers unimportant things.C. Competition in college is not as fierce as that in the real world.D. The author feels held back by his lack of real — world experience.27. What does the author want to tell us by writing this article?A. Get a college degree and you will go far.B. College students should make the best of their time.C. Career preparation is a necessity for college education.D. Landing a successful career is better than a college degree.CThey asked Katherine Johnson for the moon, and she gave it to them. With little more than a pencil, a slide rule and one of the finest mathematical minds in the country, Mrs. Johnson, who died at 101 on Monday, calculated the precise trajectories （轨道）that would let Apollo 11 land on the moon in 1969 and, after Neil Armstrong's history—making moonwalk, let it return to Earth.Yet throughout Mrs. Johnson's 33 years in NASA and for decades afterward, almost no one knew her name.Mrs. Johnson was one of several hundred strictly educated, supremely capable yet largely unrecognized women who, well before the modem feminist movement, worked as NASA mathematicians. But it was not only her sex that kept her long unsung. For some years at midcentury, the black women were subjected to a double segregation （隔离）：They were kept separate from the much large group of white women who in turn were segregated from the agency's male mathematicians and engineers.Mrs. Johnson broke barriers at NASA・In old age, Mrs. Johnson became the most celebrated of black women who served as mathematicians for the space agency. Their story was told in the 2016 Hollywood film "Hidden Figures," which was nominated for three Oscars, including best picture.In 2017, NASA dedicated a building in her honor. That year, The Washington Post described her as " the most high - profile of the computers" — " computers ” being the term originally used to describe Mrs. Johns on and her colleagues, much as “typewriters” were used in the 19th century to represent professional typists.She "helped our nation enlarge the frontiers of space," NASA's administrator, Jim Bridenstine, said in a statement on Monday, "even as she made huge steps that also opened doors for women and people of color in the universal human quest to explore space."As Mrs. Johnson herself was fond of saying, her tenure （任期）at Langley — from 1953 until her retirement in 1986 —was “a time when computers wore s kirts."28. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To present the Apollo moon mission.B. To stress Mrs. Johnson's contributionsC. To honour Neil Armstrong's moonwalk.D To mourn a great woman—Mrs. Johnson.29. What does the underlined word "barr iers” in Paragraph 4 refer to ?A. Gender inequality and color line.B. Mrs. Johnson's unrecognized talents.C. The agency's male mathematicians and engineers.D. The hardships before the modem feminist movement.30. Why were Mrs. Johnson and her colleagues described as "computers"?A. Because they used computers to keep their work secret.B. Because they were the agency's human calculators'C. Because computer systems engaged them deeply.D. Because they opened a door to outer space.31. What can we learn from Mrs. Johnson's experience?A. Try things that may not work.B. The world awaits our discovery.C' Use knowledge to wipe out ignorance 'D. Never be limited by the labels attached by others.DAlthough it has been indicated in recent years that plants are capable of seeing, hearing and smelling, they are still usually thought of as silent. But now, for the first time, Itzhak Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University in Israel found that tomato and tobacco plants made ultrasonic （超声的）sounds at frequencies humans can't hear when stressed by a lack of water or when their stem is cut.Microphones placed 10 centimeters from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100 kilohertz. Human hearing usually ranges from 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz. " These findings can alter the way we think about the plant kingdom , " they wrote in their study, which has not yet been published.On average, drought - stressed tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while tobacco plants made 11. When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15. Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour. It is even possible to distinguish between the sounds to know what the stress is. The researchers trained a machine —learning model to separate the plants，sounds from those of the wind, rain and other noises of the greenhouse, correctly identifying in most cases whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut, based on the sound's intensity and frequency. Water — hungry tobacco appeared to make louder sounds than cut tobacco, for example. Although Khait and his colleagues only looked at tomato and tobacco plants, they believe other plants may make sounds when stressed.Enabling farmers to listen for water — stressed plants could " open a new direction in the field of precision(（精准）agriculture", the researchers suggest. They add that such an ability will be increasingly important as climate change exposes more areas to drought.Khait's study also suggests that insects and some mammals can hear and respond to from as far as 5metres away. A moth may decide against laying eggs on a plant that sounds water - stressed. Edward Farmer at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland thinks the idea that moths might be listening to plants is “a little too speculative”. After all, there are already plenty of explanations for why insects avoid some plants and not others.32. What were tomato and tobacco plants' reactions to different stresses?A. They reacted to different types of stress with the same sound.B. Cut tomato plants produced more sounds per hour than water — hungry ones .C. Cut tobacco plants seemed to make lower sounds than drought - stressed ones.D. Tobacco plants might make louder sounds than tomato plants when short of water.33. What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. The potential applications of the research.B. Challenges facing farmers in the future.C. Farmers' contributions to the research.D. The future development of agriculture.34. What does the underlined word "speculative" in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Practical.B. Surprising.C. Unsupported.D. Complicated.35. What may be the best tide for the text?A. Silent screamB. Mysteries of natureC. Inner voicesD. A yet - to-be - published study第二节（共5小题;每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
