2020 is special. When we dip into the model “suspended class, ongoing learning” during the pandemic(大流行）of NCP, have you thought of the inventors that supply us the convenience on the computers? Here, let’s know a respectable person who left us a few months ago. Larry Tesler: computer scientist ,an icon of early computing, died at the age of 74 in this spring. Mr Tesler started working in Silicon Valley in the early 1960s, at a time when computers were inaccessible to the vast majority of people.It was thanks to his innovations ,which included the “cut”, “copy” and “paste” commands that the personal computer became simple to learn and use. Xerox, where Mr Tesler spent part of his career, paid tribute to him. “The inventor of cut/copy & paste, find & replace, and more, was former Xerox researcher Larry Tesler,” the company tweeted. “Your workday is easier thanks to his revolutionary ideas.” Mr Tesler was born in the Bronx, New York, in 1945, and studied at Stanford University in California. After graduating, he specialised in user interface(界面) design, that is, making computer systems more user-friendly. He worked for a number of major tech firms during his long career. He started at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (Parc), before Steve Jobs invited him for Apple, where he spent 17 years and rose to chief scientist. After leaving Apple he set up an education firm, and worked for brief periods at Amazon and Yahoo. In 2012, he told the BBC of Silicon Valley: “There’s almost a custom -- after you’ve made some money, you don’t just retire, you spend your time funding other companies.” “There’s a very strong element of excitement, of being able to share what you’ve learned with the next generation.” he added. 【1】Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph? A.Mr Tesler innovated the computer. B.Mr Tesler invented the “cut”, “copy” and “paste” commands. C.Mr Tesler spent part of his career as a data man in Xerox company. D.Most people have many chances to use computers in the early 1960s. 【2】How many companies did Larry Tesler once worked in ? A.three B.four C.five D.six 【3】Which word can best describe Mr Tesler as a scientist? A.selfless B.friendly C.special D.humorous 【4】What will the passage continue to talk about after the last paragraph? A.Educating the next generation. B.Discussing his retired life. C.Showing the prospect of the Silicon Valley. D.Sharing his knowledge with the next generation. |

By 11:00, Gopamma knew something was wrong. Her husband, Hanutha, should have returned from collecting firewood an hour before.Gopamma sent for her son, who gathered a search party and headed to Bandipur Tiger Reserve, a nearby national park in south-western India. Just inside the forest, they discovered Hanutha’s half-eaten remains. The tiger that killed him was still sitting next to the body. In the face of her husband’s death, Gopamma struggled not only with grief but economic hardship. Her son had to drop out of university. “My life was much better when my husband was alive,” she says. “My older son could have studied, but now both of my sons have to work. I feel insecure and dependent.” Despite all this, Gopamma feels no hate toward the tiger that killed her husband. Like many Hindus in India, she views humans and creatures, each with an equal right to existence. Her husband’s death, she says, has nothing to do with the fact that the government is trying to save tigers: “This was my fate.” Rural Indians are unique in the world for their high tolerance for co-existing with potentially deadly wildlife. “You don’t find this in other cultures,” says Ullas, a biologist at the Wildlife Conservation Society and a leading expert on tigers. “If this kind of thing happened in Montana or Brazil, they’d wipe out everything the next day.” The country holds just 25% of total tiger habitat, but accounts for 70% of all remaining wild tigers, or around 3,000 animals today.Success does not come without cost, however.They still have a lot of difficulties with tigers breaking into human-dominated places in certain parts of India,livestock(牲畜) are killed and sometimes so are people. Some animal activists think that there are too few tigers left in the wild ,so even one shouldn’t be killed.Tigers are treasures, we’d better live with them together. 【1】Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “remains” in the first paragraph? A.ashes B.body C.rest D.flesh 【2】How was Gopamma’s life after her husband’s death? A.She suffered financial difficulties. B.Her life was much better than before. C.She hated the tiger and was in deep sorrow. D.She became independent and supported her sons with their studies. 【3】The sentence “You don’t find this in other cultures.” in the fourth paragraph implies ______. A.Other cultures keep tigers as pets. B.Other cultures can kill tigers casually. C.Rural Indians can bear the killing caused by the tiger. D.People wipe out the tigers once they see them in Montana or Brazil. 【4】What can we know from the article ? A.Gopamma’s two sons used to study in the university. B.Tigers often break into indians’ houses and kill the villagers. C.Gopamma knew something was wrong in the early morning. D.Hanutha was found killed in the forest in a national park. |

If you live in Shanghai, you might have to take a “lesson” in sorting garbage, as the city recently introduced new garbage-sorting regulations. It’s now required that people should sort garbage into four categories, namely recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. However, if people fail to sort their garbage properly, they can be fined up to 200 yuan. More cities are introducing similar regulations, following the practice in Shanghai. By the end of 2020, garbage-sorting systems will have been built in 46 major Chinese cities, including Beijing and Shenzhen, reported People’s Daily. According to a study by the Policy Research Center for Environment and Economy, under the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, over 90 percent of the public believe that garbage sorting is important for the protection of the environment. However, garbage sorting is still a big problem in China. Only 30 percent of participants said they think they are adequately sorting their trash, the study noted. According to Xinhua News Agency, it’s partly because many people lack the willingness to sort their own waste. In the past, some previous garbage regulations didn’t give clear fines for people who failed to sort garbage. “It’s a must to have a legal guarantee to promote garbage sorting.” Liu Jianguo, a professor from Tsinghua University, told China Daily. He also added “the importance of the new regulations in Shanghai is to change the past voluntary action into compulsory action for everyone” Aside from China, many other foreign countries have also introduced garbage-sorting regulations. In Japan, waste sorting has become a basic survival skill, reported Xinhua. There is a fixed time for disposal of each kind of garbage and littering can result in high fines and even jail time. In Germany too, people are asked to sort waste into specific categories, reported HuffPost. For example, in Berlin, people have yellow bins for plastic and metals and blue bins for paper and cardboard. 【1】What can we learn from paragraph 1? A.People will be fined not less than 200 yuan. B.Shanghai works as a pioneer in garbage sorting. C.All the cities use the same regulations as Shanghai. D.Poisonous waste belongs to four categories in sorting. 【2】Which statement is true according to the passage? A.Not all the public attach importance to garbage sorting. B.Garbage-sorting system have been built in 46 major cities. C.People in Shanghai aren’t fined clearly if they fail to sort garbage now. D.People may be put in prison because of littering in Germany. 【3】What can be inferred from Liu Jianguo’s words? A.Legal guarantee is a must to promote garbage sorting. B.There is a growing concern over garbage sorting worldwide. C.He supports the legal regulations in garbage sorting. D.The sorting action should be changed from compulsory to voluntary. 【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.Hard to Recycle Appropriately B.Serious Waste Problems in Big Cities C.Garbage Sorting Practice in Shanghai D.Important Regulations in Shanghai |

Lots of people give you advice on overcoming fear.【1】However, I want to tell you that a world without fear would be more dangerous, less rewarding. So we want to treat fear as a friend? Here are three reasons. 【2】 Think about it. Do you get more nervous when you meet the girl (or guy) of your dreams? Which is more fearful, talking to the boss of your company or to some of your friends? 【3】If you didn’t have fear to guide you, you might not know that! Not so bad, right? Next, fear encourages us to take action. Fear is a call to action. In the past, our ancestors didn’t run away in fear when they saw a tiger running toward them but tried to kill it for food. Now, most of us don’t face serious danger like hungry tigers every day, but we do face serious bosses or public speaking. So, what can we do?【4】 Lastly, fear lets you know you are alive. Why do we like roller coasters? 【5】 Same for horror movies. So fear can guide you towards what’s important for you and encourage you to take action to improve. Don’t we all need that kind of friend? A．Don’t fear to be wrong. B．It frightens us in a mostly safe way. C．Imagine what life would be like without fear. D．The first is that fear is an excellent guide to opportunity. E．They say if you can overcome fear, you will be successful. F．Let fear provide us with the energy to do what needs to be done. G．Fear is showing you what is important and what matters to you. |
