21、   As a young child, Ann Makosinski would spend hours experimenting with her toys and other everyday objects ar ound her to create her own inventions.

Now a first-year Arts student, Makosinski is a well-known inventor. She won the recent Sustainable Entrepreneurship Award of Excellence, which recognizes creative business solutions to social problems--the same recognition was given to Barack Obama in 2014. Her two inventions—the Hollow Flashlight and the e-Drink—have been causing excitement internationally since their creation.

When Makosinski was 15 years old, she created a flashlight powered by the heat of one's hand. This invention was the result of a 9th grade science project, but her goal was to offer a practical solution to people with unlimited access to power and electricity. “One of my friends from the Philippines told me that she failed school because she had no light to study with at night, so that was kind of the inspiration.” Makosinski explained.

At 12th grade, Makosinski then went on to create the e-Drink. It is a coffee cup that harvests the extra heat of a hot drink while it cools, stores it as electricity in an internal(内置的)battery and makes it available to charge an external device such as a phone, whose life can now be longer by approximately 10 to 30 minutes.

“My favorite part of creating inventions would be when you had the idea and you have to physically build it，and it doesn't work out,” she said. “So you have to figure out different ways to solve it. A lot of times, I'll give up and I’ll come back after a couple of days and I'll take it up again.”

Her advice to other student innovators? “Start now. There’s nothing holding you back. Actually, you can do whatever you want.” Makosinski said，“If you want to make something，follow your heart, then go ahead. If there's something you really want to do, you will make time for it and you will find time in the day to do your  schoolwork.”

【1】Makosinsky created the powerless flashlight mainly to ________.

A. satisfy her desire to create inventions

B. settle problems in study for her friend

C. help those who are short of electricity

D. finish the assignment of a science project

【2】Which of the following is mainly explained in paragraph 4?

A. How the e-Drink was invented. B. Why the e-Drink was created.

C. What the e-Drink brings. D. How the e-Drink works.

【3】Which can be the best title for this passage?

A. Popular Inventions by a Teenager Girl

B. Teenager Girl Advancing in Creation

C. Valuable Advice from a Creative Girl

D. Awards Given to a Young Inventor

22、Haley Curfman, 25, of Blackwell, Oklahoma, is a teacher at Blackwell Public School and last year she bought a plain(朴素的) white dress, which she set up a station in her classroom for her students to decorate, encouraging them to go and draw on the dress whenever they had free time. Haley set up a station at a table with the dress and some colored markers so that her students could draw on it, having first seen the idea on Pinterest.

After the kids had finished the design, she then surprised them all by wearing the dress to class, sharing pictures of herself in it on Facebook in a post that has since been shared over 200, 000 times.

For teachers looking to do something similar for their own students, Haley said that she bought the dress off Amazon for less than $ 20 about six months ago and pre-washed the dress before she started the project. She used markers from Walmart. But she said these things can be bought in other places. She said, “To do the project, I set up a station at a table with the dress and markers. It takes anywhere from two weeks to a month to complete as we just work on it here and there when time allows. You'd better give the students enough time so they don't have to hurry.”

“Teachers have been sharing their dresses, T-shirts, etc. with me that they've been creating since the 1950s with the same idea. It is amazing, and I love the fact that you are sharing them with me! Thank you all so much for your kindness and support,” she wrote on Facebook.

Asked why she came up with the idea, Haley told Scary Mommy. “We don't have art in our school, so, I always try to do little creative projects when possible.”

【1】What did Haley use the plain white dress to do?

A．To teach her students painting.

B．To prepare for her presentation.

C．To ask her students to draw on it.

D．To help her students with their homework.

【2】What do we know about the finished dress?

A．It took Haley by surprise.

B．It is kept by Haley at home.

C．It is the product of a new idea.

D．It has enjoyed popularity online.

【3】What should a teacher do if he or she wants to follow Haley's example?

A．Buy the same dress online.

B．Give the kids enough time.

C．Buy the same markers in Walmart.

D．Leave the finished work untouched.

【4】Why did Haley carry out the project?

A．To teach art to her students.

B．To show her idea on Pinterest.

C．To share it with other teachers.

D．To excite her students' creativity.

23、Jeffrey Del Monte was driving with his friend late Friday afternoon along the beach near Ramp 49 in Frisco when they heard children’s screams coming from the beach. They looked around to find where the screams were coming from and spotted two young girls evidently caught in a rip current.

Del Monte swam out into the ocean and helped one of the girls out of the rip current, passing her to his friend, who made the “lengthy swim” back to shore. He then went back searching for the second girl and found her in great pain before bringing her to the beach from nearly 100 yards out.

After both girls were safe on the beach, Del Monte and his friend attended to them until Dare County Emergency Medical Services and a Cape Hatteras National Seashore Ranger arrived on the scene. Before long the two girls’ parents also arrived. They heartily expressed their thanks to Del Monte and his friend.

“Jeffrey Del Monte’s selfless and quick actions were key to saving the two girls from a very dangerous situation,” David Hallac, director of National Parks of Eastern North Carolina said. “His courage and expertise allowed him to perform this successful ocean rescue.”

Park officials said the incident was a reminder of how quickly ocean conditions could change, even on what appeared to be a perfect clay. “A perfect day on the beach doesn’t always mean that it is a perfect day in the ocean, so it is important that all swimmers should check the beach forecast for rip currents and other danger before heading to the beach. In addition, they should also use something that floats when in the water. If individuals do find themselves caught in rip currents, please don’t swim against the currents, instead, swim out of the currents and then to shore,” David Hallac said.

【1】Why did Del Monte pass the first rescued girl to his friend?

A．To save his strength.

B．To go and seek the other struggling girl.

C．To ease his pain caused by the current.

D．To give his friend a chance to be praised.

【2】Which word can best describe David Hallac’s attitude toward Del Monte?

A．Concerned.

B．Unclear.

C．Admiring.

D．Grateful.

【3】What is David Hallac’s suggestion for ocean swimmers?

A．Going swimming with others.

B．Avoiding floating in the water.

C．Swimming against the currents.

D．Getting well prepared in advance.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Rip currents in Frisco.

B．A journey full of thrills.

C．Basic life-saving instructions.

D．A heroic rescue from a rip current.

24、   Kieron Graham always knew he had an older brother. His adoption papers, signed and sealed when he was three months old, listed a sibling named Vincent but no last name. Though Kieron spent years thinking about Vincent, he could never track him down.

That changed in December 2017, when Kieron’s adoptive parents gave their four adopted children AncestryDNA tests as Christmas gifts. Kieron, now 21, sent his saliva sample in for analysis. When his results came back, he was stunned to find he had a slew of DNA matches for relatives who had also taken the test. Most were distant connections, but one match was so strong that it was labeled “close family”. His name was Vincent Ghant. Kieron looked for him on Facebook and soon made a possible connection. “This is going to sound so wild … but I think you’re my brother,” Kieron wrote on Facebook’s Messenger app.

“I was given up for adoption in 1997 and it says on my paperwork that my mother has a son with your name and your birth date. Her name is Shawn.”

“OMG do you know your real name?” wrote Vincent, now 30.

“I think it was Tyler.”

“OMG YES!!! You are my brother.”

“Wow,” wrote Kieron.

“This is crazy,” said Vincent.

The craziness was just beginning. As they talked, the brothers realized they lived about 20 minutes from each other, outside of Atlanta. More mind-blowing, they attended the same university and majored and minored in the same subjects: political science and legal studies.

“We were like, what are the odds we’re separated our entire lives and then end up at the same school with the same interests?” says Kieron.

Vincent was nine when Kieron was born and remembers caring for his baby brother. But times were tough, and Shawn, who worked 15-plus hours a day as a nurse, decided that placing Kieron for adoption would give him the best chance to succeed.

Now the brothers had the chance to make up for lost time. They decided to meet at a local tea shop that week. “I was really nervous,” says Kieron. “I was wondering what I should say, what I should do.” As he waited outside the shop, he heard someone call his name, and he suddenly found himself in a hug with the brother he’d thought about his entire life.

The men went inside and talked. “We connected,” says Vincent, “like we already knew each other.”

【1】The underlined word “mind-blowing” is closest in meaning to “_______”.

A.desperate B.grateful C.ridiculous D.surprising

【2】Which of the following statement is true about the two brothers?

A.Kieron was given up for adoption as soon as he was born.

B.They grew in different environment but had a similar educational background.

C.Kieron had met Vincent before as they lived quite close to each other.

D.It was rather difficult for Kieron to track down his own brother after the AncestryDNA test.

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A.Adopted children usually show deeper affection for their birth family.

B.Vincent lives with his mother all the time.

C.Kieron’s mother was unwilling to give him up but she had no choice.

D.The four adopted children have found their birth family after the AncestryDNA tests.

26、   My mother always told me it was better to be smart than to be beautiful. “If you are smart, finally you will afford to be beautiful.” All I needed were the brains, and someday, I would be a really beautiful lawyer.

My mother worked at a TV station and I would come along and watch the magic of filming TV shows. But all the same, I was learning.

When my father’s business failed, I was able to continue to attend one of the best bilingual(双语的）schools in Mexico City thanks to scholarship. Scholarship followed me into middle school and high school.

However, during my senior year in high school my family moved to my dad’s country, the United States. For the first time in my life, I had optional（可选择的） classes. So I decided to take psychology class. While I found the public school system to be a joke, I did find my psychology class attractive. My mother, in her dreams for my life, did not see psychology as a good choice, but I was like her, strong-willed to the subject.

I married young, even before I had a degree under my belt. Worst of all, I married a kid who wanted to be poster（牧师）. My mother loved Andy dearly but she would ask him occasionally, “ When will you have a real job?” I did finish my degree and I became a social worker, but when I had my first child at age 24, I quit my job. Then at 26, another baby girl joined our family. Unfortunately, this baby girl had Down syndrome（唐氏综合症）.

How would I be able to break the news to my mother? “ It is better to be smart than to be beautiful.” I knew what “smart” meant in the statement, and I doubted if my with an extra chromosome（染色体） would meet those expectations. My mom was coming to the hospital to meet her new grand-baby. I would tell her then. I needed time to gather my thoughts. I was afraid, afraid that she would see Nichole as one that would never be smart... or beautiful.
