Grandpa Frank’s Great Big Bucket List

As children, Anaa Jibicho and Lamah Bility lived in the same St. Paul, Minn., neighborhood and quickly found out they had a similar past. For both of their families, there was much less safe drinking water than needed, and they suffered because of the global water crisis (危机). When Jibicho was 2 years old, he, too, became ill from contaminated (受污染的) drinking water. While Jibicho was struggling in Ethiopia, Bility, now 24, was in Liberia. He walked every day for three hours to gather water. When Jibicho was 7 and Bility was 11, their families moved to the United States.
As they started settling into their new lives, the water crisis in their home countries appeared in their minds. Millions of Africans, as well as countless others around the world, lack access to safe drinking water, mainly because of poor infrastructure (基础设施).
That’s why “it’s important for us to tell our stories,” Jibicho said. “People typically see numbers and they don’t really know what that means. Those numbers are real people.”
In summer 2020, they launched a water bottle company called Didomi, which means “to give” in Greek. The company uses 50 percent of its money from selling its products to fund projects aimed at improving access to clean water in African nations. They say that they have provided nearly 50,000 people with access to safe drinking water for 10 years.
The company’s commitment to fighting against the water crisis recently caught the attention of the George Washington University (GWU), which plans to distribute (分发) Didomi bottles to all students, staffers, and faculty members this year.
Didomi is on track to broaden its reach, particularly through its partnership with GWU. Jibicho and Bility said the partnership will provide nearly 30,000 people with clean water for 10 years. When the university agreed to distribute Didomi water bottles, “we were just in disbelief,” said Jibicho, a student at Pomona College in Claremont, Calif.
24. What did Jibicho and Bility have in common
A. They were from the same country.
B. They suffered from the same disease.
C. They dreamed of going to the United States.
D. They had trouble using cleaning water in childhood.
25. Why did Jibicho and Bility tell their stories
A. To warn people of the danger. B. To make people realize the facts.
C. To give people some suggestions. D. To encourage people to take action.
26. What do we know about Didomi
A. It has been going for more than ten years. B. It donates money to some projects.
C. It has helped about 5,000 people. D. It is a global company.
27. What was GWU’s attitude to Jibicho and Bility
A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Supportive.
C
It’s a late night in the Metro area of Phoenix Arizona. Under the streetlights, a car can be seen slowly approaching and parking. A green and blue ‘W’ glows (发光) from the windscreen, giving off just enough light to see inside — showing a completely empty driver seat. When the person waiting for it opens the door to climb inside, a voice greets him. “Good evening, this car is yours,” it says. This is a Waymo One robotaxi, ordered just 10 minutes ago using an app.
The promise of driverless technology has long been inviting. It has the potential to improve our experience of commuting (通勤) and long journeys and take people out of high-risk working environments. It’s key to helping us build the cities of the future, lowering carbon emissions (碳排放). And it could make traveling safer. “We want safer roads and less accidents. Automation could provide that,” says Camilla Fowler, head of automated transport for the UK’s Transport Research Laboratory (TRL).
But in order for driverless technology to become mainstream (主流), much still needs to change.
“Driverless vehicles should be a very calm way of getting from A to B. But not every human driver around it will be driving in that way,” says David Hynd, from TRL. “It’s got to be able to deal with human drivers speeding, for example, or breaking the rules of the road.”
And that’s not the only challenge. “The whole insurance industry is looking into how they’re going to deal with that change from a person being responsible and in charge to the vehicle doing that,” says Richard Jinks, from driverless vehicle software company Oxbotica.
The ultimate vision (终极愿景) experts are working towards is of completely driverless vehicles, not only for personal use but also for industry and wider transport networks, that can be used anywhere and everywhere around the world.
But with all these challenges in place, what exactly does the next 10 years have in store for autonomous vehicles
28. What is special about the car mentioned in paragraph 1
A. It drives very fast. B. It has colorful wheels.
C. It can sense its driver’s feelings. D. It is automatic and drives itself.
29. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about driverless vehicles
A. Their potential advantages. B. Their wide popularity.
C. Their special design. D. Their main dangers.
30. With what might Hynd and Jinks both agree about driverless technology
A. It isn’t ready for wide application.
B. It will make driving a safe experience.
C. It isn’t developing as smoothly as planned.
D. It will increase profits in the insurance industry.
31. How does the author feel about the future of driverless vehicles
A. Hopeful. B. Surprised.
C. Uncertain. D. Disappointed.

What to Do When You Fail in Life
Most people are afraid of failure. The truth is that everyone, including all successful people, has ever failed time after time and will fail again. ____32____
Learn from it
No matter how hard you try to avoid (避免，逃避) it, failure will happen. Having a “no fear” attitude towards failure does not mean you should expect to fail, but accept it when it happens. ____33____ Failure makes us rethink, reconsider, and find new ways and strategies to achieve our goals. Through failure, we will get to know ourselves better.
Stop fearing it
____34____ You are supposed to push yourself to go to the limits. When you have a no-fear attitude and accept failure willingly, your determination can be made the best use of.
Let go of your self-worth
When your self-worth is in charge, you will not learn from the mistakes you have made, be open to other people’s views or see the situations clearly. ____35____ We need to learn, evaluate, and listen to other people if we want to see what needs to change in order to succeed.
Improve your mood (情绪) and cheer up again
We all feel upset after having failed, which is natural, human, and unavoidable. But how we respond to our failures is what decides our road to success. One way of improving your mood is listing the things you are grateful for at the moment, which will strengthen your positive emotions. ____36____
A. There is value in failure.
B The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
C. The ordinary people experience failure, too.
D. It always tends to get in the way of you and your success.
E. In order to reach your personal best, you don’t need to fear failure.
F. So do not be afraid of failure, which is a part of your road to success.
G. Reading stories of successful people is another way to help us cheer up and move on.

【原文】M: Each year, the World Children’s Baseball Fair gives the chance for teams of children from around the world to learn and play baseball together.
I was lucky enough to attend the fair in Taiwan last summer. At first, I felt very nervous about traveling so far, however, my teammates tried to make me feel comfortable.
In the mornings, we learned baseball skills. In the afternoons, we took part in some interesting activities. On our first day, for example, we visited a traditional Taiwanese farm. We learned to make rice dumplings with the local people. Later, we also visited local museums and restaurants.
The best part of my trip was meeting kids from around the world. The children came from different countries, including France, Holland, Japan and Mexico. Most of us spoke different languages, but that didn’t matter. We could use baseball as an international language to communicate and create friendship.

As children, Anaa Jibicho and Lamah Bility lived in the same St. Paul, Minn., neighborhood and quickly found out they had a similar past. For both of their families, there was much less safe drinking water than needed, and they suffered because of the global water crisis (危机). When Jibicho was 2 years old, he, too, became ill from contaminated (受污染的) drinking water. While Jibicho was struggling in Ethiopia, Bility, now 24, was in Liberia. He walked every day for three hours to gather water. When Jibicho was 7 and Bility was 11, their families moved to the United States.
As they started settling into their new lives, the water crisis in their home countries appeared in their minds. Millions of Africans, as well as countless others around the world, lack access to safe drinking water, mainly because of poor infrastructure (基础设施).
That’s why “it’s important for us to tell our stories,” Jibicho said. “People typically see numbers and they don’t really know what that means. Those numbers are real people.”
In summer 2020, they launched a water bottle company called Didomi, which means “to give” in Greek. The company uses 50 percent of its money from selling its products to fund projects aimed at improving access to clean water in African nations. They say that they have provided nearly 50,000 people with access to safe drinking water for 10 years.
The company’s commitment to fighting against the water crisis recently caught the attention of the George Washington University (GWU), which plans to distribute (分发) Didomi bottles to all students, staffers, and faculty members this year.
Didomi is on track to broaden its reach, particularly through its partnership with GWU. Jibicho and Bility said the partnership will provide nearly 30,000 people with clean water for 10 years. When the university agreed to distribute Didomi water bottles, “we were just in disbelief,” said Jibicho, a student at Pomona College in Claremont, Calif.
24. What did Jibicho and Bility have in common
A. They were from the same country.
B. They suffered from the same disease.
C. They dreamed of going to the United States.
D. They had trouble using cleaning water in childhood.
25. Why did Jibicho and Bility tell their stories
A. To warn people of the danger. B. To make people realize the facts.
C. To give people some suggestions. D. To encourage people to take action.
26. What do we know about Didomi
A. It has been going for more than ten years. B. It donates money to some projects.
C. It has helped about 5,000 people. D. It is a global company.
27. What was GWU’s attitude to Jibicho and Bility
A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Supportive.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了非洲的水资源危机存在已久，两名青年为解决用水危机贡献自己的力量。
【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For both of their families, there was much less safe drinking water than needed(对于他们两个家庭来说，安全的饮用水远远少于需要)”以及“When Jibicho was 2 years old, he, too, became ill from contaminated drinking water. While Jibicho was struggling in Ethiopia, Bility, now 24, was in Liberia. He walked every day for three hours to gather water(Jibicho两岁的时候，也因为饮用水受到污染而生病。当Jibicho在埃塞俄比亚苦苦挣扎的时候，现年24岁的Bility却在利比里亚。他每天走三个小时去打水)”可知，Jibicho和Bility在童年时期都很难喝到干净的水。故选D。
2. 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“the water crisis in their home countries appeared in their minds(他们脑海中浮现出本国的水危机)”以及第三段中的“People typically see numbers and they don’t really know what that means. Those numbers are real people(人们通常看到的是数字，但他们并不真正知道那意味着什么。那些数字是真实的人)”可知，当Jibicho和Bility随着各自的家人来到美国后，他们仍十分牵挂非洲的水资源危机。由此推知，他们希望通过讲述自己的故事让人们意识到这一事实。故选B。
3. 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The company uses 50 percent of its money from selling its products to fund projects aimed at improving access to clean water in African nations. They say that they have provided nearly 50,000 people with access to safe drinking water for 10 years(该公司将销售产品所得的50%用于资助旨在改善非洲国家清洁水供应的项目。他们说，10年来，他们为近5万人提供了安全饮用水)”可知，Didomi公司将一半的收益都捐给了帮助非洲国家获得安全饮用水的项目。故选B。
4. 推断判断题。根据第五段“The company’s commitment to fighting against the water crisis recently caught the attention of the George Washington University (GWU), which plans to distribute (分发) Didomi bottles to all students, staffers, and faculty members this year.(该公司对抗水危机的承诺最近引起了乔治华盛顿大学(GWU)的注意，该校计划今年向所有学生、员工和教职员工发放 Didomi 瓶。)以及最后一段中的“Didomi is on track to broaden its reach, particularly through its partnership with GWU(Didomi正在拓宽其业务范围，尤其是通过与GWU的合作关系)”可推知，Jibicho和Bility的行为获得了乔治·华盛顿大学的大力支持。故选D。
C
It’s a late night in the Metro area of Phoenix, Arizona. Under the streetlights, a car can be seen slowly approaching and parking. A green and blue ‘W’ glows (发光) from the windscreen, giving off just enough light to see inside — showing a completely empty driver seat. When the person waiting for it opens the door to climb inside, a voice greets him. “Good evening, this car is yours,” it says. This is a Waymo One robotaxi, ordered just 10 minutes ago using an app.
The promise of driverless technology has long been inviting. It has the potential to improve our experience of commuting (通勤) and long journeys and take people out of high-risk working environments. It’s key to helping us build the cities of the future, lowering carbon emissions (碳排放). And it could make traveling safer. “We want safer roads and less accidents. Automation could provide that,” says Camilla Fowler, head of automated transport for the UK’s Transport Research Laboratory (TRL).
But in order for driverless technology to become mainstream (主流), much still needs to change.
“Driverless vehicles should be a very calm way of getting from A to B. But not every human driver around it will be driving in that way,” says David Hynd, from TRL. “It’s got to be able to deal with human drivers speeding, for example, or breaking the rules of the road.”
And that’s not the only challenge. “The whole insurance industry is looking into how they’re going to deal with that change from a person being responsible and in charge to the vehicle doing that,” says Richard Jinks, from driverless vehicle software company Oxbotica.
The ultimate vision (终极愿景) experts are working towards is of completely driverless vehicles, not only for personal use but also for industry and wider transport networks, that can be used anywhere and everywhere around the world.
But with all these challenges in place, what exactly does the next 10 years have in store for autonomous vehicles
28. What is special about the car mentioned in paragraph 1
A. It drives very fast. B. It has colorful wheels.
C. It can sense its driver’s feelings. D. It is automatic and drives itself.
29. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about driverless vehicles
A. Their potential advantages. B. Their wide popularity.
C. Their special design. D. Their main dangers.
30. With what might Hynd and Jinks both agree about driverless technology
A. It isn’t ready for wide application.
B. It will make driving a safe experience.
C. It isn’t developing as smoothly as planned.
D. It will increase profits in the insurance industry.
31. How does the author feel about the future of driverless vehicles
A. Hopeful. B. Surprised.
C. Uncertain. D. Disappointed.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章论述了无人驾驶汽车的优势及其目前面临的挑战。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“a car can be seen slowly approaching and parking. A green and blue ’W’ glows from the windscreen, giving off just enough light to see inside — showing a completely empty driver seat. (可以看到一辆汽车慢慢靠近并停了下来。一个绿色和蓝色的“W”字从挡风玻璃上发出光，刚好能看到里面——显示出一个完全空的驾驶座。)”以及““Good evening, this car is yours,” it says. (“晚上好，这辆车是你的，”它说。)”可知，这是一辆全自动的无人驾驶汽车。故选D。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“It has the potential to improve our experience of commuting (通勤) and long journeys and take people out of high-risk working environments. It’s key to helping us build the cities of the future, lowering carbon emissions (碳排放). And it could make traveling safer. (它有可能改善我们的通勤和长途旅行体验，并使人们远离高风险的工作环境。这是帮助我们建设未来城市、降低碳排放的关键。它可以使旅行更安全。)”可知，本段介绍了无人驾驶汽车几大潜在的优势。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中David Hynd所说的“It’s got to be able to deal with human drivers speeding, for example, or breaking the rules of the road. (例如，它必须能够处理人类司机超速行驶或违反道路规则的情况。)”可知，David Hynd认为无人驾驶技术需要解决超速或违反交通规则等问题。根据第五段中Richard Jinks所说的“The whole insurance industry is looking into how they’re going to deal with that change from a person being responsible and in charge to the vehicle doing that (整个保险行业都在研究如何应对这种变化，从负责任的人到负责任的车辆)”可知，无人驾驶技术的应用还涉及车辆保险理赔的问题。由此可推断，David Hynd和Richard Jinks都认为，无人驾驶汽车技术目前还面临着一些问题，不适合应用推广。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But with all these challenges in place, what exactly does the next 10 years have in store for autonomous vehicles (但是，面对所有这些挑战，未来10年自动驾驶汽车究竟会有什么发展？)”可知，作者不确定未来十年无人驾驶汽车的发展将会怎样。故选C。

What to Do When You Fail in Life
Most people are afraid of failure. The truth is that everyone, including all successful people, has ever failed time after time and will fail again. ____32____
Learn from it
No matter how hard you try to avoid (避免，逃避) it, failure will happen. Having a “no fear” attitude towards failure does not mean you should expect to fail, but accept it when it happens. ____33____ Failure makes us rethink, reconsider, and find new ways and strategies to achieve our goals. Through failure, we will get to know ourselves better.
Stop fearing it
____34____ You are supposed to push yourself to go to the limits. When you have a no-fear attitude and accept failure willingly, your determination can be made the best use of.
Let go of your self-worth
When your self-worth is in charge, you will not learn from the mistakes you have made, be open to other people’s views or see the situations clearly. ____35____ We need to learn, evaluate, and listen to other people if we want to see what needs to change in order to succeed.
Improve your mood (情绪) and cheer up again
We all feel upset after having failed, which is natural, human, and unavoidable. But how we respond to our failures is what decides our road to success. One way of improving your mood is listing the things you are grateful for at the moment, which will strengthen your positive emotions. ____36____
A. There is value in failure.
B. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
C. The ordinary people experience failure, too.
D. It always tends to get in the way of you and your success.
E. In order to reach your personal best, you don’t need to fear failure.
F. So do not be afraid of failure, which is a part of your road to success.
G. Reading stories of successful people is another way to help us cheer up and move on.
【答案】32. F 33. A 34. E 35. D 36. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了面对失败我们应该做什么。
【32题详解】
根据前文“Most people are afraid of failure. The truth is that everyone, including all successful people, has ever failed time after time and will fail again.(大多数人都害怕失败。事实是，每个人，包括所有成功人士，都曾经失败过一次又一次，而且还会再次失败。)”和小标题“Learn from it(从中学习)”可知，此处是指不要害怕失败，所以选项F“所以不要害怕失败，这是你通往成功之路的一部分。”切合文意。故选F。
【33题详解】
根据后文“Failure makes us rethink, reconsider, and find new ways and strategies to achieve our goals. Through failure, we will get to know ourselves better.(失败让我们重新思考，重新考虑，寻找新的方法和策略来实现我们的目标。通过失败，我们会更好地了解自己。)”可知，此处是介绍失败的价值，所以选项A“失败是有价值的。”切合文意。故选A。
【34题详解】
根据小标题“Stop fearing it(停止恐惧它)”可知，此处是指不要恐惧失败，所以选项E“为了达到你的最佳状态，你不必害怕失败。”切合文意。故选E。
【35题详解】
根据前文“When your self-worth is in charge, you will not learn from the mistakes you have made, be open to other people’s views or see the situations clearly.(当你的自我价值主导的时候，你不会从你所犯的错误中吸取教训，不会对别人的观点持开放态度，也不会清楚地看到情况。)”可知，此处是指以自我价值为主导会阻碍成功，所以选项D“它总是会阻碍你和你的成功。”切合文意。故选D。
【36题详解】
根据前文“One way of improving your mood is listing the things you are grateful for at the moment, which will strengthen your positive emotions.(改善情绪的一种方法是列出你现在感激的事情，这将增强你的积极情绪。)”可知，此处是指改善情绪的另一种方法，所以选项G“阅读成功人士的故事是另一种帮助我们振作起来继续前进的方式。”切合文意。故选G。

First, it is convenient for you to travel both by airplane and by high-speed train because it is very easy to get to the base from the nearby airport and station. Second, it is a good idea that you take a tour in fall, when you may have a chance to watch newly-born baby pandas.
