27、In elementary school, I earned my Girl Scout Bronze Award by planting a butterfly garden. When I got a little older, I earned my Girl Scout Silver Awar by bringing an art program to struggling refugees (难民). But when it was time for me to go for my Girl Scout Gold Award, there was something even bigger affecting us all that I had to focus on.

People talk about damage to our environment and argue about who’s to blame, but the thing is, we don’t have time for all that. The earth is in danger, and that means all of us are in danger. That’s why I founded Project ReefLove, an awareness and educational campaign (活动) that teaches kids one super simple and easy way we can help protect coral reefs, which are the rainforests of the sea.

Lots of creatures, from sea turtles to sharks to starfish, depend on coral for survival, and the reefs help prevent beach erosion. Coral is really important—but the chemical sunscreens a lot of people wear are poisoning it and threatening the whole ecosystem. Saving coral can seem like a huge undertaking, but once you know how big a difference something simple like switching to a mineral sunscreen or wearing a rash guard instead of using chemical SPF makes, you’ll realize it is not so hard after all.

The first step, I knew, had to be education. So I went to the source: kids. From my own experience growing up in Girl Scouts, I know there’s nothing stronger than the passion of young people. If you get a little kid excited about saving the environment, their parents, grandparents, teachers, and others in earshot are going to hear about it, too!

So far, the Project ReefLove message has directly reached more than 11,000 people—and I’ve been excited to see lawmakers take action to do their part, too. Hawaii just outlawed sunscreens that are toxic (有毒的) to reefs, and I’m hoping other states will follow its lead.

【1】What did the author plan to do for her Girl Scout Gold Award?

A．Save kids in danger.

B．Build a butterfly garden.

C．Help refugees to make a living.

D．Teach kids how to protect coral reefs.

【2】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Saving coral.

【3】What does Paragraph 4 mainly deal with?

A．The influence of Girl Scouts.

B．How family education affects kids.

C．The importance of protecting the environment.

D．Why the Projcct ReefLove focuses on kids’ education．

【4】Why does the author write this text?

A．To encourage more kids to join Girl Scouts.

B．To tell readers how she’s saving coral reefs.

C．To show that the Project ReefLove is powerful.

D．To ask lawmakers to pay attention to coral reefs.

28、   Trevor Noah’s unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Trevor was kept mostly indoors for his earliest years, bound by the extreme measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africa’s cruel white rule, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a centuries-long struggle.

Born a Crime is the story of a naughty young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of that young man’s relationship with his fearless, rebellious, and extremely religious mother, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty and abuse.

The stories here are by turns funny, dramatic, and deeply affecting. Whether living on caterpillars for dinner during hard times or being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, Trevor describes his world with a keen wit and incredible honesty. His stories form a moving and funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged world in a dangerous time, armed only with a keen sense of humor and a mother’s unconventional, unconditional love.

Throughout the book, Noah reveals many examples of his mother’s stubborn determination to prevent apartheid from suffocating her free spirit. Humor became a survival mechanism for both her and her son. In an interview, Noah said, “Laughter is an escape. I feel like laughter reminds you of your best self, your freest self.”

【1】What can we infer about “apartheid” in paragraph one?

A．It’s a traditional custom in South Africa.

B．It’s a religious belief in South Africa.

C．It’s a criminal act performed by Trevor Noah’s parents.

D．It’s a policy of separating people on grounds of race.

【2】What do we know about Trevor Noah?

A．Trevor Noah is a criminal in South Africa.

B．Trevor Noah is the host of a famous TV show.

C．Trevor Noah was in prison for five years after birth.

D．Young Trevor Noah was kept indoors because he was naughty.

【3】According to the passage, which of the following words can best describe both Noah and his mother?

A．Fearless and humorous.

B．Rebellious and guilty.

C．Funny and generous.

D．Honest and curious.

【4】What’s the main purpose of this passage?

A．To introduce an autobiography of a famous person.

B．To appeal to readers to fight with racial discrimination.

C．To praise a mother’s love for her child.

D．To stress the importance of being humorous.

29、For eight months up to this April, a French bookstore chain had video in a Paris shop fed to software that examines shoppers’ movements and facial expressions for surprise, dissatisfaction, confusion or hesitation. When a shopper walked to the end of an aisle(走廊)only to return with confusion to a bookshelf, the software immediately messaged clerks, who went to help. Sales rose by a tenth.

This could be a chance, some say, for physical retailers(零售商)to trim the advantage that data have long given online sellers. A race is on to work out how best to collect and use emotions data, be it to improve packaging, displays, music, or the content, says Rana June, chief executive of a firm in New York called Lightwave. It measures shoppers’ emotions for consumer-goods firms.

Not everyone is impressed. Nielsen, a consumer research company, views using technology to work out shoppers’ emotions unfavorably. “It is a little annoying,” says Ricardo Gutiérrez, head of shopper insights at Nielsen Colombia in Bogotá.

But it is much cheaper. Nielsen charges roughly $10,000 to interview 25 shoppers about three products. Angus.ai, the Paris start up behind the technology, charges just €59 ($66) a month per camera. What’s more, conventional market research can mislead. People typically “edit” responses to make themselves sound sensible, when purchases are often driven by subconscious(潜意识的) emotions. And surveys can also ask the wrong questions—such as how much people like a product when what really matters is whether, say, it makes them feel attractive.

The notion of “retail therapy(疗法)”,consumers driven to spend when they are feeling blue, is an obvious example of shopping’s emotional side. Whichever store is the first to work out how to spot mildly depressed customers could make big money.

【1】What was the function of the video in the Paris bookstore?

A．Checking its daily sales.

B．Examining its clerks’ work.

C．Monitoring its book storage.

D．Watching its shoppers’ emotions.

【2】What does the underlined word “trim” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Increase

B．Miss

C．Reduce

D．Introduce.

【3】What is the author’s attitude to Angus.ai’s technology?

A．Doubtful

B．Supportive

C．Tolerant

D．Opposed.

【4】Why is retail therapy mentioned in the last paragraph?

A．To prove shopping is mood-driven.

B．To predict the future of physical retail.

C．To introduce different types of shoppers.

D．To explain the disadvantages of overconsumption.
