Emily Bhatnagar has always loved reading. “Growing up, I was really shy, so I always turned to books,” she said. “They became my best friends when I didn’t have one.”
In 2019, when Emily was in her second year of high school, her dad suffered from cancer. The news was difficult for the family. Books became an even bigger comfort, and she started thinking about families in similar situations. When her father recovered, she came up with a plan to help others. “The idea came from the fact that there were kids who were facing the same problem,” she said.
Then, Emily started the book drive in her hometown, Gaithersburg, Maryland. The goal was to collect books and give them to kids being treated for cancer in local hospitals. Her father was not surprised by this plan. “She always wants to do things for the neighborhood,” he said. Since the start of the book drive, which she calls For Love & Buttercup, Emily has collected more than 10,000 books.
Emily had no idea how much attention her work would get. She started by posting on social media, asking people in her area to donate. “I was expecting maybe two or three neighbors to do it,” she said. “But it ended up blowing up,” especially when newspapers began reporting it.
The Children’s Inn is one of the places where Emily has donated books. “Donations like Emily’s share a piece of the world with kids and families that they may not experience,” said its director, Aisha Campbell. Emily continues to run the book drive with her parents’ help. She hopes to one day make it reach more kids. The memory of the first time she visited children who’d received her books sticks with her. “It was the best day of my life,” she said. “I realized I wanted to do this type of work forever.”
4. What made Emily come up with the book drive
A. Her father’s illness. B. Her care for others.
C. Her habit of reading. D. Her own shyness.
5. What did Emily’s For Love & Buttercup want to do
A. Help her father defeat cancer. B. Give her father a surprise.
C. Comfort other kids in need. D. Collect books for hospitals.
6. How did Emily feel about the book drive at first
A. Uncertain. B. Surprised. C. Proud. D. Disappointed.

Many years ago, people relied on the sun, the moon and stars to find their way around. Later, the compass was introduced. And now, we have satnav (卫星导航) systems to guide us. A satnav system uses groups of satellites to show the user’s location. They send information to a receiver, such as a smartphone, to show us where we are.
The earliest built satnav system is the Global Positioning Satellite System, which belongs to the US. Then there is Russia’s Global Navigation Satellite system, the European Union’s Galileo and China’s own satellite navigation system, Beidou.
On October 18, 2017, an ARJ21-700 plane, which was the first domestically (国内地) produced jet equipped with the Beidou navigation system, successfully completed a test flight. The results showed the performance of the system developed by China matches that of similar systems produced abroad, according to the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China.
Since its introduction in 2000, the Beidou navigation system has been increasing numbers of applications linked to everyday life, from shared bikes to farming.
When it comes to shared bikes, smart locks that support Beidou chips offer more accurate positioning than others, making it easier to find a bike.
Farmers can use Beidou-enabled tractors to plow (犁) the soil and use unmanned aircraft with Beidou to sow seeds, which can improve efficiency and make better use of resources. Beidou’s farming applications have spread from Heilongjiang Province to Beijing, Liaoning, Shanxi, Hubei and other regions across China.
With its many uses, the Beidou navigation system is even playing a big role in the Belt and Road Initiative. “To date, the Beidou system has covered most parts of the Asia-Pacific region, as well as countries along the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road,” said Yang Changfeng, chief designer of the Beidou system.
Today, there are more than 20 Beidou satellites above our heads, and China plans to launch even more this year to expand the Beidou network to better serve the Belt and Road Initiative.
“As Beidou expands its overseas reach, it will be increasingly popular in the logistics (物流) industry,” said Miao Qianjun, Secretary General of the navigation services association. “Ships, for example, can use it to position themselves while sailing across oceans to European countries, no longer limited to Southeast Asian regions in the near future.”
8. What is the purpose of the first two paragraphs
A. To compare some modern satnav systems.
B. To describe the benefits of satnav systems.
C. To tell us how satnav systems were created.
D. To introduce some satnav systems and their functions.
9. What can we know about the Beidou navigation system according to the article
A. It was used successfully in a new jet plane.
B. It is more powerful than other satnav systems.
C. It was introduced to China on October, 2017.
D. It wasn’t used in our everyday life until recently.
10. According to the article, the Beidou navigation system is already widely used for _______.
A. plowing the soil and sowing seeds
B. improving the efficiency of network
C. producing more smart locks for shared bikes
D. navigating ships across oceans to European countries
11. What is Miao Qianjun’s attitude toward the future of the Beidou system
A. Worried. B. Casual. C. Positive. D. Indifferent.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国的卫星导航系统北斗在生活中的重要作用。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段中“A satnav system uses groups of satellites to show the user’s location. They send information to a receiver, such as a smartphone, to show us where we are. (卫星导航系统使用一组卫星来显示用户的位置。它们将信息发送到一个接收器，比如智能手机，告诉我们我们在哪里。)”介绍了卫星导航系统的功能；第二段“The earliest built satnav system is the Global Positioning Satellite System, which belongs to the US. Then there is Russia’s Global Navigation Satellite system, the European Union’s Galileo and China’s own satellite navigation system, Beidou.(最早建成的卫星导航系统是美国的全球定位卫星系统。此外还有俄罗斯的全球导航卫星系统、欧盟的伽利略和中国自己的卫星导航系统北斗。)”介绍了世界上几个国家的卫星导航系统，所以前两个自然段的目的是介绍几种卫星导航系统及其功能，故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段中“On October 18, 2017, an ARJ21-700 plane, which was the first domestically (国内地) produced jet equipped with the Beidou navigation system, successfully completed a test flight. (2017年10月18日，第一架装备北斗导航系统的国产飞机ARJ21-700成功完成试飞。)”可知，北斗导航系统被成功地用于一架新型喷气式飞机。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第六段“Farmers can use Beidou-enabled tractors to plow (犁) the soil and use unmanned aircraft with Beidou to sow seeds, which can improve efficiency and make better use of resources. Beidou’s farming applications have spread from Heilongjiang Province to Beijing, Liaoning, Shanxi, Hubei and other regions across China.(农民可以使用带有北斗系统的拖拉机犁地，使用带有北斗系统的无人机播种，这可以提高效率，更好地利用资源。北斗的农业应用已经从黑龙江省扩展到北京、辽宁、山西、湖北和中国其他地区。)”可知，北斗导航系统已经广泛应用于耕地和播种，故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段““As Beidou expands its overseas reach, it will be increasingly popular in the logistics (物流) industry,” said Miao Qianjun (缪乾军说：“随着北斗在海外的推广，它在物流业将越来越受欢迎。”)”可知，Miao Qianjun对北斗系统的未来持积极态度，故选C。

You’ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans — between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source (来源) of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that’s part of Von Wong’s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.
In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate (说明) a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped (倾倒) from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.
12. What are Von Wong’s artworks intended for
A. Beautifying the city he lives in. B. Introducing eco-friendly products.
C. Drawing public attention to plastic waste. D. Reducing garbage on the beach.
13. Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3
A. To show the difficulty of their recycling.
B. To explain why they are useful.
C. To voice his views on modern art.
D. To find a substitute for them.
14. What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers
A. Calming. B. Disturbing.
C. Refreshing. D. Challenging.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Artists’ Opinions on Plastic Safety
B. Media Interest in Contemporary Art
C. Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
D. Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了艺术家Benjamin Von Wong使用海洋中的塑料垃圾制作了一个巨型雕塑，极其震撼，引发人们对塑料污染的反思。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.(他用塑料垃圾建造巨大的雕塑，迫使观众重新审视他们与一次性塑料产品的关系)”可知，Von Wong用塑料垃圾制作雕塑，是想让人们重新审视与一次性塑料制品的关系，引起公众对塑料垃圾的关注。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source (来源) of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. (全球只有9%的塑料垃圾被回收。塑料吸管绝不是最大的塑料污染源，但它们最近却受到了抨击，因为大多数人不需要吸管喝饮料，而且由于它们体积小、重量轻，无法回收利用)”可知，塑料吸管体积小、重量轻，无法回收利用。由此推知，作者在第三段讨论塑料吸管是为了展示它们回收的难度。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In a piece form 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate (说明) a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped (倾倒) from a truck all at once.(在2018年一个作品中，Von Wong想要说明一个具体的统计数字：每60秒，就有一卡车塑料进入海洋。这项名为“一卡车塑料”的作品，Von Wong和一群志愿者收集了一万多块塑料，然后把它们绑在一起，让它们看起来像是同时从卡车上倾倒下来的)”可知，这个作品以创新的方式让人们了解到塑料垃圾以很快的速度和很大的量倾入海洋，刷新了观众对海洋塑料污染的认知。由此推知，这个作品会让观众对塑料垃圾进入海洋造成污染这件事感到不安。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.(但一根塑料吸管或一个塑料杯真的有什么区别吗？艺术家Benjamin Von Wong想让你知道，它确实如此。他用塑料垃圾建造巨大的雕塑，迫使观众重新审视他们与一次性塑料产品的关系)”及下文陈述可知，艺术家Benjamin Von Wong通过使用海洋塑料垃圾制作巨型雕塑的方法，引发人们对塑料污染的反思。由此可知，“海洋塑料变成雕塑”可以作文章标题。故选D项。

____16____ However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water.

Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. ____19____ Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements（代替物）for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. ____20____ And best of all, it’s free.
A. It will cost you a lot.

【16题详解】
根据空后“然而，无论你是在山上，在波浪中，或者在草地上，你都应该意识到你的运动选择可能对环境有极大的影响”可知，空处与后一句是转折关系，且应提到了有关运动，所以D项“运动可以使你保持健康，与大自然接触”切题，故选D项。
【17题详解】
根据空前“所有种类的化学物质和大量的能源被用来保持它的球场处于良好的条件”可知， B项“这引起重大的环境影响”承接上文，符合语境，B项中“This”指代空前一句的内容，且空后“例如，在葡萄牙和西班牙的干燥地区，高尔夫通常对当地的水资源短缺负责”是举例说明高尔夫引起的环境问题，是对B项的举例说明，上下文衔接紧密，故选B项。
【18题详解】
空处位于句首，是段落主题句，根据本段内容“疾走是它们其中之一，你可以每天进行。除了一双好鞋，你不需要任何特殊设备；你不必担心资源问题和你的钱包”可知，本段是讲对环境友好的一些运动，所以C项“有很多环境友好型的运动”切题，空后一句中的“them”指代C项中“environment-friendly sports”，故选C项。
【19题详解】
空前一句“既简单又自由，疾走也可以让你保持健康”提到疾走对健康的好处，E项“如果你定期行走，它会对你的心脏和骨骼有好处”进一步具体阐明疾走的好处，与空前形成递进关系，E项中的“walk regularly”与空后一句中“20 minutes of power walking daily”呼应，上下文衔接自然，故选E项。
【20题详解】
本段第二句提到But the final goal should be “green gyms”.(但是最后的目标应该是“绿色健身房”)，接下来提到“绿色健身房”的好处，“它们是传统健康俱乐部和现代运动中心更好的替代物。绿色健身房的运动员在户外，在乡村或者在其他开放的空间进行运动”，结合空后一句“最好的就是，它是免费的”可知，F项“对于成为会员没有特殊要求”切题，也是绿色健身房的好处之一，故选F项。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了Vincent van Gogh的艺术经历及部分作品。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：荷兰后印象派艺术家文森特·梵高（1853-1890），被认为是有史以来最伟大的艺术家之一，对20世纪的艺术产生了巨大的影响。句子的谓语动词是had，句子主语“this Dutch Post-Impressionist artist”和consider之间是被动关系，所以此处是过去分词作状语，故填considered。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：荷兰后印象派艺术家文森特·梵高（1853-1890），被认为是有史以来最伟大的艺术家之一，对20世纪的艺术产生了巨大的影响。have a great influence on“对……有影响”是固定短语，故填on。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：他的父亲是一位教会牧师，他的信仰是上帝。此处是定语从句，his father是先行词，在后面的定语从句中做定语，修饰belief，应用关系代词whose引导，故填whose。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：文森特成年早期就在一家艺术品交易商的公司工作。spend some time (in) doing sth.“花费时间做某事”，用动名词作宾语，故填working。
【40题详解】
考查it作形式宾语。句意：梵高有精神问题，这让他很难成功。 “make it +形容词+动词不定式”是固定用法，此处是it做形式宾语，动词不定式“for him to succeed”作真正的宾语。故填it。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：直到1880年，文特森才开始了他的艺术家生涯。分析句子可知，此句是强调句型，还原句子为“Vincent didn’t begin his career as an artist until 1880”，根据时间状语“until 1880”可知，用一般过去时，故填began。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：他最著名的作品大多是在他最后的两年创作的，那时候，他病的很严重。修饰形容词ill用副词作状语，故填seriously。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意：1890年，37岁的梵高朝胸部开了一枪自杀。主语和宾语指代同一事物，用反身代词作宾语，根据句意，故填himself。
44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：梵高的几幅画是世界上最昂贵的画之一。painting“绘画”是可数名词，several(几个)后跟名词复数，故填paintings。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：1987年3月30日，梵高的画作Irises以5390万美元的创纪录价格售出。分析句子可知，sell是谓语动词，与主语Irises是被动关系，根据时间状语“On March 30, 1987”可知，描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，且主语Irises是第三人称单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数，故填was sold。

Dear Manager,
I feel sorry to trouble you, but I’m afraid I have to make a complaint.
Yesterday I bought an electric fan in your shop, but when I got home and turned it on, it didn’t work. So I took it back and talked to the assistant about the problem. To my surprise, the assistant, in a rude manner, refused to examine it instead of helping me solve the problem. I was really upset to find that such a thing should have occurred in your shop and that your assistant didn’t take the interests of customers seriously.
Hopefully, you will look into the matter and give me a full refund. Besides, I’d like to be informed of the process that you will deal with it. Your attention paid to the matter and early reply would be highly appreciated.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My grandmother died when my mother, Laura, was only five years old. The year was 1945 and life was extremely hard. As the youngest child, Laura was surrounded by the love of her father, brothers and sisters. However, it could never take the place of that of a mother’s. Worse still, as money was tight at that time, her family could not even afford her a doll for Christmas.
Later, Laura got married and set up her own family. In my mother’s life, her father, her husband and then her three children and then her grandchildren were the main focus of her life. She felt that she could make up for her sad childhood through her devotion to her family, but deep in her mind there was a dream waiting to be realized.
One afternoon in December, I was working in the bank as usual when I caught sight of the beautiful handmade dolls in one of my customers’ hand. She was taking orders for the coming Christmas. The dolls looked cute and adorable （可爱的）. Without hesitation, I decided to get one for my five-year-old daughter, Kelly. Suddenly, an idea occurred to me. I asked my customer if she could make a special doll for my mother-one with grey hair and glasses: a grandmother doll. Having learned the past life experience of my mother, the doll maker accepted my request gladly, though it seemed to be a challenging job to her. So besides the Christmas tree, I also placed my order for two dolls: one blonde an one grey-haired.
Several days passed. I was expecting the arrival of the festival as well as the gifts when a friend visited and told me that his dad, who played Santa Claus, would make a visit to our town on Christmas morning. Knowing that my parents would also come to my house, I called his dad and asked him to deliver the gift to my mother. To my joy, his dad kindly agreed.
Everything was in place and I eagerly expected what was designed to be a most memorable moment in my mother’s life.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Christmas Day arrived and so did Santa Claus at the appointed time. I had prepared the presents for Santa to deliver. My daughter was surprised and excited that Santa had come to see her. My mother was enjoying her grand-daughter’s reaction to the visit from the guest. As Santa asked who Laura was, my mother was taken back by her name being called, saying that she was. Santa handed her a doll with a message that read:
For Laura,
I was cleaning up my sleigh before my trip this year and came across this gift that was supposed to be sent on December 25, 1945. The gift had aged, but I felt you might still wish to have it. Many apologies for the lateness of the gift.
Love,
Santa Claus
Never will I forget my mother’s reaction when she got the present. My mother was deeply moved by the words in the card. She couldn’t speak but only hold the card as tears of joy ran down her cheeks. Picking up the doll and holding it in her arms gently, my mother became the happiest “child” in the world at that moment.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的母亲Laura五岁时就失去了妈妈，虽然后来长大后组建了自己的家庭，有了丈夫和孩子，但内心深处还是有一个未能实现的梦想。十二月份的一天，作者无意间看到客户手里拿的一个可爱的手工制作的布娃娃，决定为自己五岁的女儿买一个，又请求客户为自己的母亲制作了一个祖母版的布娃娃，在圣诞节那天，由扮演圣诞老人的朋友亲自到家中将礼物送给了母亲，帮母亲圆了心中的梦想。

Emily Bhatnagar has always loved reading. “Growing up, I was really shy, so I always turned to books,” she said. “They became my best friends when I didn’t have one.”
In 2019, when Emily was in her second year of high school, her dad suffered from cancer. The news was difficult for the family. Books became an even bigger comfort, and she started thinking about families in similar situations. When her father recovered, she came up with a plan to help others. “The idea came from the fact that there were kids who were facing the same problem,” she said.
Then, Emily started the book drive in her hometown, Gaithersburg, Maryland. The goal was to collect books and give them to kids being treated for cancer in local hospitals. Her father was not surprised by this plan. “She always wants to do things for the neighborhood,” he said. Since the start of the book drive, which she calls For Love & Buttercup, Emily has collected more than 10,000 books.
Emily had no idea how much attention her work would get. She started by posting on social media, asking people in her area to donate. “I was expecting maybe two or three neighbors to do it,” she said. “But it ended up blowing up,” especially when newspapers began reporting it.
The Children’s Inn is one of the places where Emily has donated books. “Donations like Emily’s share a piece of the world with kids and families that they may not experience,” said its director, Aisha Campbell. Emily continues to run the book drive with her parents’ help. She hopes to one day make it reach more kids. The memory of the first time she visited children who’d received her books sticks with her. “It was the best day of my life,” she said. “I realized I wanted to do this type of work forever.”
4. What made Emily come up with the book drive
A. Her father’s illness. B. Her care for others.
C. Her habit of reading. D. Her own shyness.
5. What did Emily’s For Love & Buttercup want to do
A. Help her father defeat cancer. B. Give her father a surprise.
C. Comfort other kids in need. D. Collect books for hospitals.
6. How did Emily feel about the book drive at first
A. Uncertain. B. Surprised. C. Proud. D. Disappointed.
7. What is Emily’s future plan
A. Getting more help from her parents. B. Starting another book drive very soon.
C. Making her program benefit more kids. D. Writing books about her experiences.

Many years ago, people relied on the sun, the moon and stars to find their way around. Later, the compass was introduced. And now, we have satnav (卫星导航) systems to guide us. A satnav system uses groups of satellites to show the user’s location. They send information to a receiver, such as a smartphone, to show us where we are.
The earliest built satnav system is the Global Positioning Satellite System, which belongs to the US. Then there is Russia’s Global Navigation Satellite system, the European Union’s Galileo and China’s own satellite navigation system, Beidou.
On October 18, 2017, an ARJ21-700 plane, which was the first domestically (国内地) produced jet equipped with the Beidou navigation system, successfully completed a test flight. The results showed the performance of the system developed by China matches that of similar systems produced abroad, according to the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China.
Since its introduction in 2000, the Beidou navigation system has been increasing numbers of applications linked to everyday life, from shared bikes to farming.
When it comes to shared bikes, smart locks that support Beidou chips offer more accurate positioning than others, making it easier to find a bike.
Farmers can use Beidou-enabled tractors to plow (犁) the soil and use unmanned aircraft with Beidou to sow seeds, which can improve efficiency and make better use of resources. Beidou’s farming applications have spread from Heilongjiang Province to Beijing, Liaoning, Shanxi, Hubei and other regions across China.
With its many uses, the Beidou navigation system is even playing a big role in the Belt and Road Initiative. “To date, the Beidou system has covered most parts of the Asia-Pacific region, as well as countries along the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road,” said Yang Changfeng, chief designer of the Beidou system.
Today, there are more than 20 Beidou satellites above our heads, and China plans to launch even more this year to expand the Beidou network to better serve the Belt and Road Initiative.
“As Beidou expands its overseas reach, it will be increasingly popular in the logistics (物流) industry,” said Miao Qianjun, Secretary General of the navigation services association. “Ships, for example, can use it to position themselves while sailing across oceans to European countries, no longer limited to Southeast Asian regions in the near future.”
8. What is the purpose of the first two paragraphs
A. To compare some modern satnav systems.
B. To describe the benefits of satnav systems.
C. To tell us how satnav systems were created.
D. To introduce some satnav systems and their functions.
9. What can we know about the Beidou navigation system according to the article
A. It was used successfully in a new jet plane.
B. It is more powerful than other satnav systems.
C. It was introduced to China on October, 2017.
D. It wasn’t used in our everyday life until recently.
10. According to the article, the Beidou navigation system is already widely used for _______.
A. plowing the soil and sowing seeds
B. improving the efficiency of network
C. producing more smart locks for shared bikes
D. navigating ships across oceans to European countries
11. What is Miao Qianjun’s attitude toward the future of the Beidou system
A. Worried. B. Casual. C. Positive. D. Indifferent.
D
You’ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans — between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source (来源) of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that’s part of Von Wong’s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.
In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate (说明) a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped (倾倒) from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.

My grandmother died when my mother, Laura, was only five years old. The year was 1945 and life was extremely hard. As the youngest child, Laura was surrounded by the love of her father, brothers and sisters. However, it could never take the place of that of a mother’s. Worse still, as money was tight at that time, her family could not even afford her a doll for Christmas.
Later, Laura got married and set up her own family. In my mother’s life, her father, her husband and then her three children and then her grandchildren were the main focus of her life. She felt that she could make up for her sad childhood through her devotion to her family, but deep in her mind there was a dream waiting to be realized.
One afternoon in December, I was working in the bank as usual when I caught sight of the beautiful handmade dolls in one of my customers’ hand. She was taking orders for the coming Christmas. The dolls looked cute and adorable （可爱的）. Without hesitation, I decided to get one for my five-year-old daughter, Kelly. Suddenly, an idea occurred to me. I asked my customer if she could make a special doll for my mother-one with grey hair and glasses: a grandmother doll. Having learned the past life experience of my mother, the doll maker accepted my request gladly, though it seemed to be a challenging job to her. So besides the Christmas tree, I also placed my order for two dolls: one blonde an one grey-haired.
Several days passed. I was expecting the arrival of the festival as well as the gifts when a friend visited and told me that his dad, who played Santa Claus, would make a visit to our town on Christmas morning. Knowing that my parents would also come to my house, I called his dad and asked him to deliver the gift to my mother. To my joy, his dad kindly agreed.
Everything was in place and I eagerly expected what was designed to be a most memorable moment in my mother’s life.
