I’m interested in coding and technology, but there’s a huge gender gap in the computing field, meaning girls are in the minority. I wanted to change that. I started the Catwalk Coding Camp where girls learn how to code(编程) light-up accessories (配饰) and show them at a fashion show. I thought the main result would be that some would be interested enough to learn more, but it turned out that the girls were hungry for role models in the field. I’d never seen myself as a role model, but suddenly there were younger girls looking up to me. It made me want to be better. This “role model psychology" doesn’t just change what I do out in the world; it changes what I do for myself. I’m halfway through my first year as a computer science major. To be honest, it’s not always easy! I struggled, and there was a moment when I considered changing my major. Difficult as it is, I survive and move on. Look around the lecture hall and only one third of the students are girls. Then when we break up into sections led by more advanced students, only 2 to 3 sections are run by women. It keeps me going to know that so many girls look up to me. They have decided that if another girl can go into computer science, they can as well. I want to do well so I can become a section leader in years to come, hoping to close the gender gap in the field. 【1】What surprised the author after the Catwalk Coding Camp? A.The fashion show turned out to be a success. B.The girls wanted role models in computing field. C.Some girls presented unusual talents for fashion. D.Many girls displayed interest in learning coding. 【2】What does the author want to do according to Paragraph 2? A.Change her major in the college. B.Hold more coding camps for girls. C.Make girls feel welcome in the field. D.Help more girls become section leaders. 【3】How does the author feel about her first year in college? A.Exhausting. B.Relaxing. C.Discouraging. D.Challenging. 【4】What helped the author go through the hard time? A.The admiration from the girls. B.The desire to be a scientist. C.The determination to be better. D.The hunger for knowledge. |

The way people purchase clothes has fundamentally changed in response to the “fast fashion", the result of mass -market retailers (零售商) increasing the production of inexpensive fashion lines to meet the demands of quickly changing trends. It is not uncommon for retailers to introduce new products multiple times in a single week to stay on trend. This may seem like a good thing at first glance, but it is causing more problems than it is solving. Workers in factories in underdeveloped areas face mistreatment, including poor working conditions, low wages and forced overtime. So before making a deal, ask retailers questions such as where products are made and how many people work there. Watch for warming signs and use your judgment if something doesn't feel right. Another reason to rethink about the trend has something to do with the impact on our rivers, lakes and oceans. Chemical pollutants are released into waterways every time those clothes are washed. What can be done is as simple as buying from brands known for their preference for using organic materials, because they are trying not to add to the pollution. Besides, people don't keep clothes as long as they used to, and the rate of production to keep up has resulted in tons of waste. It's easy to see at manufacturing (生产) sites the massive wastes. Even holding giant sales or rewarding customers for bringing in second-hand clothes is not enough. Only with enough customers saying “No” to fast fashion can we work toward a better future. 【1】Which is a feature of fast fashion? A.Being eco-friendly. B.Affordable prices. C.Guaranteed quality. D.Setting new trends. 【2】What might be a warning sign according to Paragraph 2? A.All the workers can take days off in turn. B.The manufacturing sites are too crowded. C.The workers can support their entire families. D.The factory is located in a developed area. 【3】What should customers do before purchasing clothes? A.Bring their used clothes for donations. B.Ask manufacturers certain questions. C.Examine the quality of materials used. D.Weigh possible environmental effects. 【4】What's the most suitable title for this passage? A.How to Spot the Perfect Clothes B.Customers, Who Change Markets C.Why Fast Fashion is Troublesome D.Say “No" to the Fashion Industry |

Microplastics, as the name implies, are tiny plastics that result from both commercial product development and the breakdown of larger plastics. Officially, they are defined as plastics less than five millimeters in diameter(直径). . The problem with microplastics is that — like plastic items of any size — they do not readily break down into harmless molecules (分子). Plastics can take hundreds or thousands of years to decompose, and in the meantime, cause damage to the environment. On beaches, microplastics are visible as tiny colored plastic bits in sand. In the oceans, microplastics pollution is often consumed by sea animals. Some of this environmental pollution is from littering, but much is the result of storms and winds that carry plastics into our oceans. Single-use plastics, plastic items meant to be used just once and then thrown away, are the primary source of microplastics in the environment. Microplastics have been detected in sea animals, in commercial seafood, and even in drinking water. Alarmingly, standard water treatment facilities cannot remove all the traces( 痕迹) of microplastics. To further complicate matters, microplastics in the ocean can combine with other harmful chemicals before being swallowed by animals. Scientists are still unsure whether consumed microplastics do damage to human or animal health - and if so, what specific dangers they may cause. Even so, many countries are taking action to reduce microplastics. A United Nations resolution has discussed the need for rules to reduce microplastics to oceans, wildlife, and human health. 【1】What does the underlined word “decompose” mean in Paragraph 2? A.Break down. B.Fade away. . C.Dry up. D.Give out. 【2】What can we know about microplastics from Paragraph 4? A.Water treatment facilities fail to remove their traces. B.People might consume them through drinking water. C.They can combine with other chemicals inside animals. D.They have been a blow to commercial seafood industry. 【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.Many governments turn a blind eye to microplastics. B.It has been confirmed that consumed microplastics are harmful. C.Measures will be taken to reduce microplastics in the environment. D.Scientists have known what specific dangers microplastics may cause. 【4】The author writes this passage to____________ A.inform the public of an environmental issue B.arouse the awareness of protecting seawater C.persuade scientists to look into microplastics D.introduce the microplastics treatment methods |

Slowly but surely, we're moving closer to the super-fast 5C world that tech companies have been promising us for years. But do we really know it all?【1】 ◆It's not quite here yet. Though we've seen a lot of positive progress, we still have a long way to go before 5G is anywhere near as available as 4G is right now. But most in the industry agree that 2020 is the earliest when 5G will ever begin to touch most consumers. And even then, early 5G networks could come with their fair share of growing pains.【2】 ◆It's not going to be cheap. 【3】Some companies haven't commented on specific pricing yet, but, as most have pointed out, data costs have historically climbed as network speeds increase. There's little reason to think that trend won't continue. It's not all bad news, though. Experts are optimistic that data prices will come down in the long run once 5G starts to be widely available. But it's impossible to say how long that change could take. ◆【4】 It's obvious that 5G networks will bring fast data connections. However, part of its appeal is that it makes It's obvious that 5G networks will bring fast data connections. However, part of its appeal is that it makes mobile networks better, meaning that networks can support many more data connections than what was previously possible. Have you ever been to an event where your data connection slowed down or stopped working?【5】 But 5G networks have a much higher ability to support up to a million devices per square kilometer. A.It's really, really fast. B.It's not just about speed. C.Extra speed comes at a higher cost. D.Here are three major disadvantages of 5G. E.Let's clear out some misunderstandings about it. F.That's because present networks can easily be overloaded. G.Unbalanced coverage or negative effects on battery life may arise. |
