In 2015, Chennai was destroyed by one of the worst floods in over a century, leaving thousands without food, water and supplies. During the flood, many heroes arose, one of whom was Santosh, a young man who owned a take-out restaurant in Chennai. When the first flood hit in November, he got a call from a company called Naga Rava. The company asked him to prepare 5,000 packets of food and give them to the flood victims. He, with his partners, took the order, cooked for 14 hours and delivered(递送) them. But that night, as they sat together discussing the event of the day, they actually felt ashamed(羞愧). “Here was a man not even from Chennai and he was going out of his way to help the affected people. We, while living here, had not really done anything ourselves for our own people,” said Santosh later. He then began the groundwork for a collection to help cook more dishes. Little did he know that the November flood was just the beginning, and the real show was about to begin. The December flood affected them all. His own house got flooded and his family was trapped on the second floor. They lost phone connection and electricity. In spite of this, Santosh went back out into the flood, creating a kitchen and preparing food all by himself for the victims. He did not sleep for four days, taking a one-hour break every day as he kept on cooking. As word got out about this man’s effort, others stepped out to join him. From children to the elderly, strangers came to help him in cooking, packing and transporting food. Up to 300 volunteers worked together to make it all happen. By the time the fourth day finally came to an end, Santosh and his team had prepared 170,000 food boxes and delivered them to people in need. 【1】What inspired Santosh to help the affected people? A.A call for help. B.His cooking skills. C.An act of kindness of a stranger. D.The encouragement from his partners. 【2】What does “the real show” in the third paragraph refer to? A.The help and support. B.The severer flood. C.Santosh’s family suffering. D.Santosh’s cooking more food. 【3】Which of the following can best describe Santosh? A.Energetic and helpful. B.Determined and clever. C.Selfless and caring. D.Kind and wise. 【4】What is the best title for the text? A.Many Hands Make Light Work B.Kindness Is Its Own Reward C.Major Floods Brought Challenges To People D.A Man Cooked 170,000 Meals For The Affected |

Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends—532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them. But is it possible that Kaylee’s online friendships could be making her lonely? That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships. Could this be true? During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other. Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platforms(平台). In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger, “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation. Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don’t need someone to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face. 【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A.To summarize the text. B.To tell about true friends. C.To bring up a discussion. D.To encourage online friendship. 【2】What does the underlined part “in the flesh” mean in Paragraph 3? A.In any case. B.In person. C.In full measure. D.In advance. 【3】What is Katie’s attitude towards online communication? A.Worried. B.Unconcerned. C.Confused. D.Positive. 【4】What view does Rosen hold? A.It’s wise to turn to friends online. B.It’s easier to develop friendships in reality. C.Teenagers need focus on real-world friendships. D.Social media help people stay closely connected. |

A young Dutch inventor is widening his effort to clean up floating(浮动的) plastic from the Pacific Ocean. He has developed a floating device(设备) to trap plastic waste moving into rivers before it reaches the oceans. Boyan Slat was just 18 years old when he invented a system for catching waste in the ocean. He also founded an environmental group called “The Ocean Cleanup”. Its purpose is to develop the system. Last year, Slat showed the next step: a floating device called Interceptor. It removes plastic out of rivers. The device is powered by energy from the sun. “The 1,000 rivers are responsible for about 80% of plastic going into the world’s oceans,” said Slat. Three of the machines have already been used. Each machine costs about $ 775,660, but the cost might drop as production increases. Since they were used, the machines have been doing very well, collecting the plastic bottles and all the rubbish in the rivers. According to Slat, it is necessary to close “the tap”, which means preventing more plastic from reaching the ocean in the first place. He wanted to clean them all in the next five years. “This is not going to be easy, but if we do get this done, we could truly make our oceans again,” said Slat. The device is designed to be safe in rivers. Its nose is shaped to change directions to keep it away from larger floating things. It works by guiding plastic waste into an opening in the front of the device. The waste is then carried inside the machine where it is dropped into containers. The device sends a text message to local operators that can come and empty it when it is full. 【1】What do we know about Interceptor? A.It is being under test. B.It can help sort waste. C.It needs solar power to work. D.It is mainly used in the oceans. 【2】What does “the tap” refer to in paragraph 3? A.The rivers. B.The machines. C.The oceans. D.The waste. 【3】What’s the function of the device’s nose? A.To empty the waste. B.To serve as containers. C.To ensure the device’s safety. D.To send operators text messages. 【4】Where is the text most likely from? A.A diary. B.A guidebook. C.A novel. D.A magazine. |
