As the world has changed,so has education. Since 2018, Nelly Cheboi and her non-profit TechLit Africa have been bringing computer technology into schools in Kenya, helping students join the digital world, and unlock their potential. With its own software programs, curriculum (课程) and teacher training programs, this non-profit hopes to change Africa.
In 2012, Cheboi received a scholarship to College in Illinois that changed her life. She grew up in poverty in rural Kenya, watching her mother struggle to support her family alone. Cheboi had no experience with computers before moving to the US to study. She hand wrote papers and then struggled to type them out on a laptop computer. Somehow she fell in love with computer science and began a career in the field.But she did not lose sight of her origins. “As an undergraduate, I invested all of my income from various campus jobs into my community back in Kenya,” she said on the TechLit Africa website. But soon she wanted to do more for it and that is how TechLit Africa began.
Cheboi recalled how her background helped her understand how important technological knowledge could be for children living in poverty. She built a school with the idea of bringing computer science as part of kids’ curriculum growing up. But she found that it was going to be really hard to impact as many people as possible, because it was so hard to fund raise. Then in order to reach more students,she introduced computer training to existing schools. Cheboi physically dragged over 40 recycled computers that had been donated to them by various tech companies to Kenya in suitcases.
Now, since the non-profit has grown, it works with various companies that help them clean the donated computers of data and send them to Africa. TechLit Africa runs its own curriculum with its own software programs in 10 Kenyan schools,and the hope is to increase to 100 throughout Africa by next year. The students love learning about computers,and in turn are gaining skills that will help them make use of their talents into a way out of poverty.
4. What has Cheboi been doing since 2018
A. Boosting her science career.
B. Promoting digital education.
C. Starting a scholarship program.
D. Updating the computer courses.
5. What inspired Cheboi to set up TechLit Africa
A. Her love for computer science.
B. Her desire to help her hometown.
C. Her dream of supporting her family.
D. Her childhood experience in the US.
6. What do we know about Cheboi from Paragraph 3
A. She hopes to help more kids.
B. She plans to build new schools.
C. She seeks to develop new courses.
D She calls for donations of computers.
7. Which of the following can best describe Cheboi
A. Sensitive. B. Devoted. C. Considerate. D. Cooperative.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了自2018年以来，Nelly Cheboi和她的非营利组织TechLit Africa一直在将计算机技术带入肯尼亚的学校，这个非营利组织希望通过自己的软件程序、课程和教师培训项目来改变非洲。

A Purdue University invention could save millions of taxpayer dollars and significantly reduce traffic delays. The new invention, a sensor that allows concrete to “talk”, decreases construction time and how often concrete pavement (路面) needs repairs while also improving the road’s sustainability and cutting its carbon footprint. Fixed directly into a concrete pour the sensor sends engineers more precise and consistent data about the concrete’s strength and need for repairs than is possible with currently used tools and methods.
“Traffic jams caused by repairs have wasted 4 billion hours and 3 billion gallons of gas, on a yearly basis. This is mainly due to insufficient knowledge and understanding of concrete’s strength levels,” said Luna Lu, who has been leading development of the sensor since 2017. “For instance, we don’t know when concrete will reach the right strength needed to accommodate traffic loads just after construction. The concrete may be put into use too early,leading to frequent repairing,” she added.
With the technology Lu and her team invented, engineers can directly monitor the fresh concrete and accurately measure many of its properties at once. The sensor notifies engineers via a smartphone app exactly when the pavement is strong enough to handle heavy traffic. The stronger the pavement is before being used by vehicles, the less often it will need to be repaired. By decreasing road repairs and construction timelines, this technology could reduce carbon dioxide that vehicles would have given off while waiting in traffic to get around a construction site.
Methods that the industry has used for more than a century call for testing large samples of concrete at a lab or onsite facility. Even though these tests are well understood by the industry, differences between lab and outdoor conditions can lead to inaccurate estimates of the concrete’s strength due to the different concrete compositions and temperatures of the surrounding area.
8. What can be learned about the new invention
A. It decreases accidents.
B. It is costly to produce.
C. It reduces road repairs.
D. It is difficult to operate.
9. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. Waste caused by road repairs.
B. Characteristics of the concrete.
C. Situations of road constructions.
D. Necessity of inventing the sensor.
10. What does the underlined word “notifies” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Signals. B. Awakes. C. Monitor. D. Examines.
11. What is the problem with the previous tests
A. Samples must be tested on the spot.
B. The results turn out to be unreliable.
C. Fewer properties have been measured.
D. Concrete is tested in certain temperature.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】

【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段““Traffic jams caused by repairs have wasted 4 billion hours and 3 billion gallons of gas, on a yearly basis. This is mainly due to insufficient knowledge and understanding of concrete’s strength levels,” said Luna Lu, who has been leading development of the sensor since 2017. “For instance, we don’t know when concrete will reach the right strength needed to accommodate traffic loads just after construction. The concrete may be put into use too early, leading to frequent repairing,” she added.(“每年维修造成的交通堵塞浪费了40亿小时和30亿加仑的汽油。这主要是由于对混凝土强度水平的认识和理解不足，”自2017年以来一直领导该传感器开发的卢娜·卢说。“例如，我们不知道混凝土何时才能达到合适的强度，以适应施工后的交通负荷。混凝土可能过早投入使用，导致频繁维修，”她补充道)”结合第一段的“The new invention, a sensor that allows concrete to“talk”, decreases construction time and how often concrete pavement (路面) needs repairs while also improving the road’s sustainability and cutting its carbon footprint.(这项新发明是一种传感器，它可以让混凝土“说话”，减少施工时间和混凝土路面需要维修的频率，同时提高道路的可持续性，减少碳足迹)”可知，第二段主要论述了发明传感器的必要性。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“via a smartphone app exactly when the pavement is strong enough to handle heavy traffic.(通过一款智能手机应用程序，准确判断路面是否足够坚固，可以应对繁忙的交通)”可知，此处指传感器通过一款智能手机应用程序告知工程师相关信息。由此可知，划线词notifies与signals(告知)意思接近。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Even though these tests are well understood by the industry, differences between lab and outdoor conditions can lead to inaccurate estimates of the concrete’s strength due to the different concrete compositions and temperatures of the surrounding area.(尽管这些测试被业界很好地理解，但由于混凝土成分和周围地区温度的不同，实验室和室外条件之间的差异可能导致对混凝土强度的不准确估计)”可推知，以前试验的问题是结果不可靠。故选B。
D
A study from the University of Montreal and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, published in Frontiers in Medicine, found that regular virtual visits to museums could help seniors stay mentally active and come with a host of additional health benefits. That’s because these digital connections can make retirees feel less lonely and isolated (孤立的).
Social isolation has been associated with the risks for heart disease and the decline of recognition abilities in seniors and the pandemic (疫情) increased the risks due to the need for seniors to stay home and isolate, according to a press release from the university.
The researchers investigated the potential benefits of weekly virtual visits for a three-month period. The participants were people aged 65 and older who lived in Montreal. Half of the participants took part in online visits and a discussion afterwards, while the control group did not participate in any cultural events at all. The group who participated in the virtual visits showed improvements in their quality of life. “Our study showed that art-based activities may be an effective intervention,” lead author Dr. Olivier Beauchet, a professor at the University of Montreal, said in the press release. “On a global scale, this participatory art-based activity could become a model that could be offered in museums and arts institutions worldwide to promote active and healthy aging.”
The initiative reflects approaches recommended by the World Health Organization to manage certain diseases, according to Beauchet. For instance, the WHO launched the Aging and Health Program in 2015 that included using community-based organizations to promote culture as a key component of improving health. Traditionally, these sorts of preventive health activities have taken place in schools, community centers, and workplaces. “While these are suitable locations that reach a great number of people, there are additional organizations and sectors that could become partners in public health research and practice development,” Beauchet said. “Museums are among such potential partners. They are aware of the needs of their communities and are consequently expanding the types of activities they offer.”
12. How do seniors benefit from regular virtual visits to museums
A. They get survival skills. B. They raise interest in art.
C. They improve quality of life. D. They connect more with family.
13. What can be inferred from Beauchet’s words in Paragraph 3
A. Participants come from the whole world. B. The museum needs better cultural events.
C. Face-to-face discussion is a useful intervention. D. Seniors should attend more art-based activities.
14. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To advocate. B. To entertain. C. To advertise. D. To warn.
15. Which may be a suitable title for the text
A. The Aged Form a Community to Reduce Loneliness
B. Virtual Art-based Activities Bring People Together
C. Online Museum Trips Improve Seniors’ Well being
D. Retired Individuals Pay More Visits to Museums
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了蒙特利尔大学和蒙特利尔美术博物馆发表在《医学前沿》上的一项研究，发现定期虚拟参观博物馆可以帮助老年人保持精神活跃，并带来许多额外的健康益处。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A study from the University of Montreal and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, published in Frontiers in Medicine, found that regular virtual visits to museums could help seniors stay mentally active and come with a host of additional health benefits.

【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中““Our study showed that art-based activities may be an effective intervention,” lead author Dr. Olivier Beauchet, a professor at the University of Montreal, said in the press release. “On a global scale, this participatory art-based activity could become a model that could be offered in museums and arts institutions worldwide to promote active and healthy aging.”(“我们的研究表明，以艺术为基础的活动可能是一种有效的干预，”蒙特利尔大学教授、该研究的主要作者奥利维尔·博切特博士在新闻发布会上说。“在全球范围内，这种参与性的艺术活动可以成为一种模式，可以在世界各地的博物馆和艺术机构中提供，以促进积极和健康的老龄化。”)”可知，从第三段伯切特的话中可以推断出老年人应该参加更多的艺术活动。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The initiative reflects approaches recommended by the World Health Organization to manage certain diseases, according to Beauchet. For instance, the WHO launched the Aging and Health Program in 2015 that included using community-based organizations to promote culture as a key component of improving health.(伯切特说，这一倡议反映了世界卫生组织推荐的管理某些疾病的方法。例如，世卫组织于2015年启动了老龄化与健康规划，其中包括利用社区组织促进文化，将其作为改善健康的关键组成部分)”可推知，最后一段的目的是为了提倡和号召老龄化与健康规划。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A study from the University of Montreal and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, published in Frontiers in Medicine, found that regular virtual visits to museums could help seniors stay mentally active and come with a host of additional health benefits.

Ancient Egyptians are credited with“inventing”the birthday celebration. And ancient Greeks borrowed the tradition but rightfully realized that a dessert would make the celebration all the more meaningful. So they baked moon-shaped cakes to offer up to the moon.___18___
It wasn’t just the ancient Egyptians and Greeks who celebrated with sweet cakes.___19___And it’s believed that the original birthday cake came from them. Rather than just celebrating birthdays, though,ancient Rome was known for celebrating all things with a cake including wedding,but there was an exception—the birthdays celebrated were only for men who were citizens,and they had to be famous.
Modern birthday parties are said to get their roots from the 18th-century German celebration. On the morning of a child’s birthday, he or she would receive a cake with lighted candles that added up to the child’s age plus one.___20___The birthday child would make a wish,try to blow out all the candles in one breath,and dig in.
A. Ancient Romans also had their traditions.
B. Rather,they were symbolic of the noble class.
C. Ancient Greeks made the first birthday cakes.
D. On birthday,children would eat cakes made by their mums.
E. They also decorated the cakes to make them shine like the moon.
F. This extra candle was called the light of hope for another new year.
G. However, they’re the ones who first came up with the idea to do so.

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。
Alvin Bamburg, 66, was deep in the woods in Grand Cane, Louisiana, last December when something caught his eye. Twisted in a fallen tree, it looked like litter. As Alvin approached, he saw that the object was a broken balloon. Attached was a piece of paper decorated with sparkly star stickers. It was a child’s Christmas wish list.
“Dear Santa,” the handwritten note read. “My name is Luna. I am four years old. I live in Liberal, Kansas. This year I have been nice. I would like candy, Spider-Man ball, Frozen doll, puppy. With love, Luna.”
Alvin’s heart hammered in his chest. Ever since he was a child, he had dreamed of this very scenario. He believed this was his childhood wish coming true. And he decided to make Luna’s wish come true too. Given the distance of more than 650 miles from Grand Cane to Liberal, Alvin followed the advice from his wife, Lee Ann Bamburg, and posted a photo of the balloon and the Christmas list on his Facebook page, asking for help locating the sender.
Meanwhile, Leticia Flores-Gonzalez, the mother of four-year-old Luna and her twin sister, Gianella, had no idea that such an effort was underway. It had been a hard year for Leticia and her girls. As COVID-19 spread, the family felt lonely, scared, and isolated, with no relatives living nearby.
On a particularly tough day last December, Leticia had come up with the idea of having the girls send letters to Santa by balloon. She told them that Santa would grab the balloons while he flew through the air on his sled. The twins were excited. Leticia helped them write down all the things that they dreamed Santa might bring them, and put the notes into Christmas red balloons. Then she took them outside to release their wishes to the universe on the chilly windy morning.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day in January, a friend called Leticia and said, “Someone found Luna’s balloon.”
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In April, Alvin and his wife made a trip to meet the girls.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 One day in January, a friend called Leticia and said, “Someone found Luna’s balloon.” Her jaw dropped. At her friends urging, Leticia logged on to Facebook and saw Alvin’s post. Then she saw that people from all over were asking if they, too, could be part of fulfilling the wish list. Leticia was deeply touched and gave Alvin a call. When Alvin told her how much it would mean to him to grant the girls’ wishes, she agreed to let him bring them some gifts. Back in Louisiana, Alvin got busy collecting toys from his newfound Facebook community.
In April, Alvin and his wife made a trip to meet the girls. That morning, just as chilly and windy as the day Luna and Gianella waved goodbye to their balloons, Alvin got out of the car in front of their house. He presented all the gifts to the twins, including a puppy. The girls cried with delight. Later, both families sat down together to share homemade breakfast. They all felt as if they had known each other forever. Having received so much generosity, Leticia and her girls expressed their gratitude and intended to pay it forward.

As the world has changed,so has education. Since 2018, Nelly Cheboi and her non-profit TechLit Africa have been bringing computer technology into schools in Kenya, helping students join the digital world, and unlock their potential. With its own software programs, curriculum (课程) and teacher training programs, this non-profit hopes to change Africa.
In 2012, Cheboi received a scholarship to College in Illinois that changed her life. She grew up in poverty in rural Kenya, watching her mother struggle to support her family alone. Cheboi had no experience with computers before moving to the US to study. She hand wrote papers and then struggled to type them out on a laptop computer. Somehow she fell in love with computer science and began a career in the field.But she did not lose sight of her origins. “As an undergraduate, I invested all of my income from various campus jobs into my community back in Kenya,” she said on the TechLit Africa website. But soon she wanted to do more for it and that is how TechLit Africa began.
Cheboi recalled how her background helped her understand how important technological knowledge could be for children living in poverty. She built a school with the idea of bringing computer science as part of kids’ curriculum growing up. But she found that it was going to be really hard to impact as many people as possible, because it was so hard to fund raise. Then in order to reach more students,she introduced computer training to existing schools. Cheboi physically dragged over 40 recycled computers that had been donated to them by various tech companies to Kenya in suitcases.
Now, since the non-profit has grown, it works with various companies that help them clean the donated computers of data and send them to Africa. TechLit Africa runs its own curriculum with its own software programs in 10 Kenyan schools,and the hope is to increase to 100 throughout Africa by next year. The students love learning about computers,and in turn are gaining skills that will help them make use of their talents into a way out of poverty.
4. What has Cheboi been doing since 2018
A Boosting her science career.
B. Promoting digital education.
C. Starting a scholarship program.
D. Updating the computer courses.
5. What inspired Cheboi to set up TechLit Africa
A. Her love for computer science.
B. Her desire to help her hometown.
C. Her dream of supporting her family.
D. Her childhood experience in the US.
6. What do we know about Cheboi from Paragraph 3
A. She hopes to help more kids.
B. She plans to build new schools.
C. She seeks to develop new courses.
D. She calls for donations of computers.
7. Which of the following can best describe Cheboi
A. Sensitive. B. Devoted. C. Considerate. D. Cooperative.
C
A Purdue University invention could save millions of taxpayer dollars and significantly reduce traffic delays. The new invention, a sensor that allows concrete to “talk”, decreases construction time and how often concrete pavement (路面) needs repairs while also improving the road’s sustainability and cutting its carbon footprint. Fixed directly into a concrete pour the sensor sends engineers more precise and consistent data about the concrete’s strength and need for repairs than is possible with currently used tools and methods.
“Traffic jams caused by repairs have wasted 4 billion hours and 3 billion gallons of gas, on a yearly basis. This is mainly due to insufficient knowledge and understanding of concrete’s strength levels,” said Luna Lu, who has been leading development of the sensor since 2017. “For instance, we don’t know when concrete will reach the right strength needed to accommodate traffic loads just after construction. The concrete may be put into use too early,leading to frequent repairing,” she added.
With the technology Lu and her team invented, engineers can directly monitor the fresh concrete and accurately measure many of its properties at once. The sensor notifies engineers via a smartphone app exactly when the pavement is strong enough to handle heavy traffic. The stronger the pavement is before being used by vehicles, the less often it will need to be repaired. By decreasing road repairs and construction timelines, this technology could reduce carbon dioxide that vehicles would have given off while waiting in traffic to get around a construction site.
Methods that the industry has used for more than a century call for testing large samples of concrete at a lab or onsite facility. Even though these tests are well understood by the industry, differences between lab and outdoor conditions can lead to inaccurate estimates of the concrete’s strength due to the different concrete compositions and temperatures of the surrounding area.

A study from the University of Montreal and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, published in Frontiers in Medicine, found that regular virtual visits to museums could help seniors stay mentally active and come with a host of additional health benefits. That’s because these digital connections can make retirees feel less lonely and isolated (孤立的).
Social isolation has been associated with the risks for heart disease and the decline of recognition abilities in seniors and the pandemic (疫情) increased the risks due to the need for seniors to stay home and isolate, according to a press release from the university.
The researchers investigated the potential benefits of weekly virtual visits for a three-month period. The participants were people aged 65 and older who lived in Montreal. Half of the participants took part in online visits and a discussion afterwards, while the control group did not participate in any cultural events at all. The group who participated in the virtual visits showed improvements in their quality of life. “Our study showed that art-based activities may be an effective intervention,” lead author Dr. Olivier Beauchet, a professor at the University of Montreal, said in the press release. “On a global scale, this participatory art-based activity could become a model that could be offered in museums and arts institutions worldwide to promote active and healthy aging.”
The initiative reflects approaches recommended by the World Health Organization to manage certain diseases, according to Beauchet. For instance, the WHO launched the Aging and Health Program in 2015 that included using community-based organizations to promote culture as a key component of improving health. Traditionally, these sorts of preventive health activities have taken place in schools, community centers, and workplaces. “While these are suitable locations that reach a great number of people, there are additional organizations and sectors that could become partners in public health research and practice development,” Beauchet said. “Museums are among such potential partners. They are aware of the needs of their communities and are consequently expanding the types of activities they offer.”
12. How do seniors benefit from regular virtual visits to museums
A. They get survival skills. B. They raise interest in art.
C. They improve quality of life. D. They connect more with family.
13. What can be inferred from Beauchet’s words in Paragraph 3
A. Participants come from the whole world. B. The museum needs better cultural events.
C. Face-to-face discussion is a useful intervention. D. Seniors should attend more art-based activities.
14. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To advocate. B. To entertain. C. To advertise. D. To warn.
15. Which may be a suitable title for the text
A. The Aged Form a Community to Reduce Loneliness
B. Virtual Art-based Activities Bring People Together
C. Online Museum Trips Improve Seniors’ Well being
D. Retired Individuals Pay More Visits to Museums

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。
Alvin Bamburg, 66, was deep in the woods in Grand Cane, Louisiana, last December when something caught his eye. Twisted in a fallen tree, it looked like litter. As Alvin approached, he saw that the object was a broken balloon. Attached was a piece of paper decorated with sparkly star stickers. It was a child’s Christmas wish list.
“Dear Santa,” the handwritten note read. “My name is Luna. I am four years old. I live in Liberal, Kansas. This year I have been nice. I would like candy, Spider-Man ball, Frozen doll, puppy. With love, Luna.”
Alvin’s heart hammered in his chest. Ever since he was a child, he had dreamed of this very scenario. He believed this was his childhood wish coming true. And he decided to make Luna’s wish come true too. Given the distance of more than 650 miles from Grand Cane to Liberal, Alvin followed the advice from his wife, Lee Ann Bamburg, and posted a photo of the balloon and the Christmas list on his Facebook page, asking for help locating the sender.
Meanwhile, Leticia Flores-Gonzalez, the mother of four-year-old Luna and her twin sister, Gianella, had no idea that such an effort was underway. It had been a hard year for Leticia and her girls. As COVID-19 spread, the family felt lonely, scared, and isolated, with no relatives living nearby.
On a particularly tough day last December, Leticia had come up with the idea of having the girls send letters to Santa by balloon. She told them that Santa would grab the balloons while he flew through the air on his sled. The twins were excited. Leticia helped them write down all the things that they dreamed Santa might bring them, and put the notes into Christmas red balloons. Then she took them outside to release their wishes to the universe on the chilly windy morning.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day in January, a friend called Leticia and said, “Someone found Luna’s balloon.”

In April, Alvin and his wife made a trip to meet the girls.
