22、Samir Lakhani’s enthusiasm for social work began when he studied environmental science at the University of Pittsburgh. Required to complete an internship, he traveled to Cambodia to study the effects of climate change on communities that had lived off the land for centuries.

While studying in Cambodia, he saw something he would never forget: a village woman bathing her newborn son with detergent. “It is a harsh and toxic alternative to the piece of soap that should never be used on the skin,” Lakhani remembered. “The baby was crying. I didn’t know what I could do, but as I returned to my hotel room and stepped into the bathroom, I realized that my housekeeper had thrown away the piece of soap I had hardly touched.”

That brief experience was a turning point for him and then he founded the nonprofit Eco-Soap Bank. “We shouldn’t live in a world where more than 2 million children die per year because of diseases that could easily be stopped by washing hands,” Lakhani stated.

Since 2014, Eco-Soap Bank has employed more than 150 economically disadvantaged women in ten developing countries to recycle leftover hotel soap. These women sanitize the soap and give the new product to people in need. “During the COVID-19 pandemic period, hotel occupancy has dropped and hotels are closing, so we need to change our recycling form,” he says. Lakhani is now reaching out to soap producers from all over the world, asking them if they would like to give scraps to Eco-Soap Bank, a natural byproduct from the production line. He said, “On average, 10% of all soap is wasted before it even hits stores’ shelves. We have recycled and reproduced 1.5 million pieces of soap in the last two months, and this is all female-powered, because that’s our duty.”

However, during the pandemic, the way to transport the soap to where it is needed for people puzzles Lakhani. He is trying to solve this problem and needs more help.

【1】What does Paragraph 2 talk about?

A．How Eco-Soap Bank works.

B．How Cambodian people usually bathe.

C．What made Lakhani establish Eco-Soap Bank.

D．Why Lakhani chose Cambodia as the internship place.

【2】How does Lakhani change the recycling form during the COVID-19 pandemic period?

A．By asking for scraps from soap producers.

B．By paying out of his own pocket for soap.

C．By producing soap with a production line.

D．By employing more women to recycle soap.

【3】What might be a problem Lakhani is faced with now?

A．How to protect the soap during the transportation.

B．How to get the soap to where it needs to be.

C．When to send the soap to developing countries.

D．How to give guidance on sanitizing the leftover soap.

【4】Which words can best describe Samir Lakhani?

A．Traditional, awesome and warm-hearted.

B．Thoughtful, clever but unfriendly.

C．Careful, knowledgeable and honest.

D．Kind, intelligent and responsible.

【5】Which can be a suitable title for the text?

B．How Hotel Soap Can be Recycled

C．How Recycling Hotel Soap Can Save Lives

D．How Reproducing Soap Scraps Can Save Money

23、I spent most my twenties working for the National Park Service, and I lived a wide variety of government housing, including several shabby but appealing old houses where the wild creatures outnumbered humans. Sometimes I wondered, lying awake at night, how many hearts beat inside those walls. With all that lovely national park habitat protected for their use, why did the animals need to live in my house?

My latest essay “The indoor wilds at outdoor parks,” revisits my experiences with wild (non-human!) roommates and officemates in Rocky Mountain National Park. At first, they were considered annoying but not dangerous. Attitudes changed dramatically when hantavirus (汉他病毒) came on the scene, and suddenly those cute, non-housebroken deer mice became a threat. When I moved on to Canyonlands National Park, I found that every effort had been made to seal off my house from four-footed intruders. These efforts mostly worked and later employees moved into new housing. But somehow a rat still managed to chew its way through the floor and drown itself in my toilet. I’m not even going to get started about my coworkers, experiences with other much scarier animals.

The Beaver Meadows Vistor Center in the story was designed by Tailiesin Associated Architects, Frank Lloyed Wright’s firm, after Wright’s death. Working there, I always thought the building was strange. I recently revisited the building while researching a children’s book I am writing about the park. I think I get it now, at least a little.

【1】What does the underlined word “their” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Some park visitors’.   B. Endangered animals’.

C. The author’s coworkers’.   D. The author’s wild roommates’.

【2】Why did people show a change in attitude towards deer mice?

A. Because a virus was spreading.   B. Because people were hurt by them.

C. Because people saw a really cute one.   D. Because they protected people’s houses.

【3】What can we infer about the living conditions of the author’s coworkers?

A. They were unknown to the author.   B. They were acceptable to the author.

C. They were no better than the author’s.   D. They were much better than the author’s.

【4】After visiting the Beaver Meadows Vistor Center again, the author ________.

A. could appreciate it better   B. finished a children’s book

C. did research on national parks   D. knew it was designed by Wright

24、We’ve seen such scenes often: Needy families lining up for a bag of daily necessities—dry foodstuff, cooking essentials, basic toiletries (化妆品). But Foo Say Thye, 56-year-old co-founder of local volunteer group Heart warmers, observed one common occurrence at these donation drives: Whenever beneficiaries (受益者) receive the bags, most would seem shy and unwilling to talk and would leave the venue almost immediately.

Mk realized that it is important not just to meet the physical needs of beneficiaries, but also consider their mental and emotional state as well. Foo Say Thye said that he wanted to take such goodie bag distribution a step further. That’s why the group came up with Project 100=50.

“When we give bags of groceries to families, these are default (默认) items donated by the organizers. Project 100=50 allows participants to choose whatever they need and what they actually want,” says Say Thye.

Project 100=50 is a community service event that supports low-to middle-income families by creating a “mini supermarket” where beneficiaries can choose to buy what they need at highly discounted prices. It partners with local supermarket group Sheng Siong, which supplies these groceries to Heartwarmers at a special rate.

Discounts are either capped (限额收取) at 50% if beneficiaries spend $100 or less or at $50 if they spend more than §100. Say Thye explains, “Providing them with a choice on what to get at reduced prices raises their self-esteem and self-confidence. It also promotes self-help when beneficiaries can start to pay for their own necessities.”

Every month, different Group Representation Constituencies (GRCs) select low-to middle-income families who don’t qualify for financial assistance from the Government or agencies to attend Project 100=50 events. Different GRCs use different criteria to choose the beneficiaries.

Volunteer Tan Jun An, 21, says that these ‘‘sandwiched” families are stuck in between categories. “Like my own family, we are stuck in between. You’re neither rich nor poor,” he says. “Because you don’t fall in any other group, you cannot receive any benefits. So, this project helps the ‘sandwiched’”.

【1】What is the function of the first paragraph?

A．To lead in the topic.

B．To state the author’s opinion.

C．To analyze a phenomenon.

D．To share the author’s routine.

【2】Why was Project 100=50 started?

A．To make groceries affordable.

B．To offer financial assistance.

C．To compete with supermarkets.

D．To provide emotional support.

【3】Which can best describe Project 100=50 probably?

A．Professional.

B．Meaningful.

C．Profitable.

D．Convincing.

【4】Which would be a suitable title for the text?

A．The Challenges Faced by Needy Families

B．A New Way to Help Needy Families

C．The Importance of Self-Help for Beneficiaries

D．Government Assistance Failing Needy Families

26、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。

Every single one of us has a different story. It is easy to judge others based on what we witness for a brief amount of time, but this is not what we should do.

Andre Owen is a policeman who works for the Sussex Police. He is a kind-hearted young officer. He is always working hard and devotes himself to his duty. And on one particular day, his shift (轮班) was proving to be one of the tough days. That day, he started to work at around 7:05 am. It was such an early start for his duty that he had no time for breakfast. He was called to a serious incident shortly after he began to be on duty. The incident was in Brighton, which meant he had to go to Oxford to take care of the matter. It was a long drive there, which took him about two hours to get there. The matter was very hard to deal with, but he managed to settle it successfully.

After his visit to Oxford, Andre Owen drove his way back, only to find another incident down the road. The accident involved a family who needed help, but the traffic was so crowded that they couldn’t get through. As a result, the officer had to stop traffic to get them to safety. At the end of it, he had 45 minutes left in his shift but he still had to drive back for two more hours.

It was such a difficult day and he almost did not get to have time to eat. At lunchtime, he finally had an opportunity to get food, so he went to the nearest fast food restaurant to buy himself lunch. Just like any other customers there, the policeman was patiently waiting for his food to arrive. A lady eating her own food, kept staring at him while he was waiting.
