Last year more than 1,600 people from 35 countries took part. The categories range from games, Scratch (a visual programming language and a free online programming site), hardware, mobile apps, web, and advanced programming, so there is something for everyone. Some of the past projects include an electric ukulele (a musical instrument like a small guitar) made from cardboard, a smart rubbish bin, and a video game made entirely in Scratch.
George from the UK saw the exhibition and said it helped him a lot. “I think it’s a really good way to see other people’s projects and I think it has really helped me get a view of how much is involved in building technology.”
By taking part in Coolest Projects you will receive:
Personalized feedback (反馈意见) on your project. A spot on the online gallery, where the whole world will see your creation. An invitation to the livestream celebration in December.

B
“There’s a little black woman walking, spraying (喷洒) stuff on the sidewalks and trees on Elizabeth and Florence...” he told the police. Her neighbor saw her spraying something on the sidewalks and trees and this made him worried. In the call to 911, he described the child as “a little black woman”.
Well, the “little black woman” was actually 9-year-old Bobbi Wilson, a young scientist. The fourth-grader had created her own insecticide (杀虫剂) to fight spotted lanternflies (斑衣蜡蝉). She came across the recipe on TikTok and had recently learned that the harmful species damages trees because they feed on their sap (树液). Bobbi was simply testing out her invention in her neighborhood when the police call was made.
“That’s her thing,” her mother Monique Joseph said. “She’s going to kill the lanternflies, especially if they’re on a tree. That’s what she’s going to do.” Bobbi’s 13-year-old sister, Hayden Wilson, also defended her, noting that Bobbi “was not only doing something amazing for our environment, but she was also doing something that made her feel like a hero”. Luckily, what happened didn’t influence Bobbi’s spirit and has led to some positive experiences for her.
She has since been recognized by several organizations for her environmental efforts. She has also been invited on special tours. One took place at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. Another was given by the United States Department of Agriculture of New Jersey at a plant where they discussed lanternflies. But that’s not where her recognition ends! The Association of New Jersey Environmental Commissions (ANJEC) honored Bobbi with their Sustainability Award for her work to save trees and fight lanternflies.
“We were excited that she was doing that,” Ann Marchioni of the ANJEC said. Ann added that the organization praises volunteers for being “hands-on” in their community. In addition to the award, she and her family got to visit with a group of black female scientists at Yale University. They showed her various labs and even invited her to donate lanternfly specimens (标本) for the university’s work.
24. What made the neighbor call the police
A. A girl climbing trees. B. A girl spraying something.
C. A girl littering the sidewalks. D. A girl testing something dangerous.
25. How did Hayden Wilson feel about her sister’s behavior
A. Ashamed. B. Proud. C. Shocked. D. Relieved.
26. What kind of volunteers does ANJEC think highly of
A. Those whose donations help ANJEC.
B. Those who can do something creative in their university.
C. Those whose environmental awareness is quite impressive.
D. Those who can do something practical in their community.
27. Which of the following would best describe Bobbi
A. Creative and determined. B. Watchful and serious.
C. Friendly and generous. D. Talkative and strict.
C
Volunteers are the lifeblood of nonprofit (非营利的) organizations, but COVID-19 makes it difficult for them to take part, especially for older people. As a result, nonprofit organizations are meeting the challenge of finding new, safe ways to engage with older volunteers.
“COVID-19 has been a real blow to most communities, seriously blocking volunteer participation, but our society needs the talent of these people,” said Marc Freedman, the founder of Encore.org, a nonprofit trying to bridge generational divides. “We know from decades of research that strong social connections and a reason to get up in the morning are key to our well-being as we age,” he added. “So we need to give up the idea of ‘stay safe and stay out of the way.’”
Like so much of life in COVID-19, volunteer work has largely moved online. But technology can be a barrier for many older adults — both those who offer and those who receive volunteer services. They are less likely to get and take advantage of the latest technology. Last year 59 percent of Americans age 65 and older had broadband (宽带) Internet connections, about 20 percentage points fewer than those in younger age groups.
None of that has stopped elderly volunteers like Paula Brynen, a 65-year-old Los Angeles resident. Before COVID-19, she volunteered for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS’s) Light The Night, an annual fund-raising walk at which participants carry glowing lanterns. Ms. Brynen would help out with setting up the event; nowadays, she focuses on another task. “They usually give volunteers a small list of calls to make,” she said, “but because I worked in fund-raising and have no problem ringing up, they gave me 50 names this year.”
Meanwhile, she is working as a mentor (导师) with Table Wisdom, a St. Louis-based nonprofit that matches older adults with students and young professionals. She connects each week via Zoom with a young environmental engineer in Colombia. “We talk about politics and movie recommendations — I’ve learned a lot about Colombia, and she’s learned about things like Los Angeles’s culture.”
28. What does the underlined part “these people” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Elderly patients. B. Older volunteers.
C. Young professionals. D. Nonprofit organizers.
29. Which of the following would Marc Freedman agree with
A. Having something to do daily benefits older adults.
B. Knowing how to stay connected helps you succeed.
C. It is good for the elderly to get up early in the morning.
D. More efforts should be taken to improve seniors’ safety.
30. Why does the author provide the numbers in paragraph 3
A. To express approval for developing technology.
B. To discuss how COVID-19 influenced volunteer work.
C. To show many older people are falling behind technologically.
D. To explain the development of broadband Internet connections.
31. How does Paula Brynen work for the LLS now
A. By taking fund-raising walks. B. By making a lot of phone calls.
C. By giving free speeches via Zoom. D. By instructing students and young adults.
D
Outside of Asia, Madagascar has the longest tradition of rice production, and this crop is grown in almost all districts of the country. For the Malagasy people, rice is an important part of their diet: many families eat it three times a day, and most of it is homegrown. In Madagascar, however, people earn less than $1.90 per day on average, and the Malagasy population is severely affected by food shortages. Domestic (国内的) production of rice, for example, still does not meet the needs of the island, and the country has to rely heavily on imported rice to help ensure the nation has enough food.
Madagascar has set itself the goal of being rice self-sufficient. To work towards this, an FAO South-South Cooperation project began between China and Madagascar. Chinese experts on rice production came to Madagascar to provide training to farmers on how to grow and harvest a greater-yielding (更高产的) type of rice.
The new kind of rice seeds is better suited to the Malagasy subtropical climate, which consists of a hot and rainy season between November and the end of March and a cooler dry season from May to October. This Weichu rice variety has been especially developed to fit the climatic and soil conditions of Madagascar.
Across three areas of the island, 124 rice farmers took part in the project, working together with a Chinese expert team, to benefit from both theoretical and field training on rice production. To date, the harvest has yielded about 8.45 tonnes on average per hectare (公顷) compared to the 2.8 tonnes per hectare that was harvested before the project. Alain Randrianarivelo, who has farmed rice for more than 20 years, says,“I think this new variety of rice is the future of our agriculture. The yield obtained is breathtaking.”All the other participating farmers think so, too.
For Madagascar as a country, this new variety will allow it to be self-sufficient by considerably reducing the level of rice imports.
32. What did the Chinese experts mainly do in Madagascar
A. They made efforts to improve the land. B. They developed new rice seeds in poor soil.
C. They introduced ways to earn a good living. D. They taught locals how to grow a new kind of rice.
33. Why is the Weichu rice variety used in Madagascar
A. It meets the high demands of the Malagasy people. B. It suits the varying conditions there.
C. It is the best rice variety worldwide. D. It can be grown twice a year there.
34. What can be inferred about the 124 rice farmers in the project
A. They are far-sighted. B. They are pioneers in farming.
C. They find the yield fairly satisfying. D. They doubt the advanced farming technique.
35. What would be the best title for the text
A. Doing experiments in Madagascar B. Increasing types of Madagascan rice
C. Bringing Madagascar into the future D. Helping Madagascar become rice self-sufficient

67. 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。
In an art class my friend Mareya and I took, we had to look at art made by lots of different artists and then try creating our own. We made pencil drawings and paintings using only small dots of paint.
For our very last task, our teacher asked us to paint a portrait of a friend or family member. Mareya and I looked at each other and nodded. We both had the same idea.
“You’ll each get one of these art sets,” said Ms. Williams. “Every set contains a small canvas (画布), some tempera paints (蛋彩画颜料), and two foam brushes (泡沫刷). You can paint in any style you choose.”Mareya and I put our sets into our art bags. Then we headed over to her house.
And then our friend Jasmine stopped us. “I was so excited to tell you my amazing news. My family just got the cutest dog named Ginger, and if you want to come over, you can meet her!” Jasmine's house is only a couple of blocks from Mareya’s, so after checking in with Mareya’s mom, of course we had to go. Ginger was the cutest dog imaginable. “Whenever she’s not running around, she’s sound asleep in dreamland,” said Jasmine. She led the way to the kitchen. “Do you have time for a snack ” “Sure!” we said.
After we ate some cookies at the kitchen table, Mareya and I stood up to leave. But when we went to pick up our art bags by the front door, we found a big surprise! Mareya pointed at our torn-open art sets. “Something tells me Ginger might not have been sleeping this whole time.” “Oh no!” I said. “Our foam brushes are now foam shreds (碎片)!” “Bad Ginger!” Jasmine shouted. “It’s OK,” said Mareya. “She’s way too little to know any better.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
On the walk to Mareya’s house, I said, “I hope Ms. Williams will understand why we couldn’t do our portrait task.”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We ended up having a great time making our portraits with our fingers.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了新冠疫情导致非营利组织正面临着寻找新的、安全的方式与老年志愿者接触的挑战。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“As a result, nonprofit organizations are meeting the challenge of finding new, safe ways to engage with older volunteers.(因此，非营利组织正面临着寻找新的、安全的方式与老年志愿者接触的挑战)”以及划线词上文“COVID-19 has been a real blow to most communities, seriously blocking volunteer participation, but our society needs the talent of”可知，COVID-19对大多数社区来说都是一个真正的打击，严重阻碍了志愿者的参与，但社会需要年长的志愿者的才能。故划线词意思是“年长的志愿者”。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“We know from decades of research that strong social connections and a reason to get up in the morning are key to our well-being as we age(从几十年的研究中我们知道，随着年龄的增长，牢固的社会关系和早上起床的理由是我们幸福的关键)”可知，马克·弗里德曼认同每天做点什么对老年人有好处。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Like so much of life in COVID-19, volunteer work has largely moved online. But technology can be a barrier for many older adults — both those who offer and those who receive volunteer services. They are less likely to get and take advantage of the latest technology. Last year 59 percent of Americans age 65 and older had broadband (宽带) Internet connections, about 20 percentage points fewer than those in younger age groups.(就像COVID-19期间的许多生活一样，志愿者工作在很大程度上转移到了网上。但是，对于许多老年人来说，技术可能是一个障碍——无论是那些提供志愿服务的人还是那些接受志愿服务的人。他们不太可能获得和利用最新的技术。去年，年龄在65岁及以上的美国人中有59%拥有宽带互联网连接，比年龄较小的群体少了大约20个百分点)”可推知，作者在第3段提供这些数字是为了显示许多老年人在技术上落后了。故选C。
【31题详解】

D
Outside of Asia, Madagascar has the longest tradition of rice production, and this crop is grown in almost all districts of the country. For the Malagasy people, rice is an important part of their diet: many families eat it three times a day, and most of it is homegrown. In Madagascar, however, people earn less than $1.90 per day on average, and the Malagasy population is severely affected by food shortages. Domestic (国内的) production of rice, for example, still does not meet the needs of the island, and the country has to rely heavily on imported rice to help ensure the nation has enough food.
Madagascar has set itself the goal of being rice self-sufficient. To work towards this, an FAO South-South Cooperation project began between China and Madagascar. Chinese experts on rice production came to Madagascar to provide training to farmers on how to grow and harvest a greater-yielding (更高产的) type of rice.
The new kind of rice seeds is better suited to the Malagasy subtropical climate, which consists of a hot and rainy season between November and the end of March and a cooler dry season from May to October. This Weichu rice variety has been especially developed to fit the climatic and soil conditions of Madagascar.
Across three areas of the island, 124 rice farmers took part in the project, working together with a Chinese expert team, to benefit from both theoretical and field training on rice production. To date, the harvest has yielded about 8.45 tonnes on average per hectare (公顷) compared to the 2.8 tonnes per hectare that was harvested before the project. Alain Randrianarivelo, who has farmed rice for more than 20 years, says,“I think this new variety of rice is the future of our agriculture. The yield obtained is breathtaking.”All the other participating farmers think so, too.
For Madagascar as a country, this new variety will allow it to be self-sufficient by considerably reducing the level of rice imports.
32. What did the Chinese experts mainly do in Madagascar
A. They made efforts to improve the land. B. They developed new rice seeds in poor soil.
C. They introduced ways to earn a good living. D. They taught locals how to grow a new kind of rice.
33. Why is the Weichu rice variety used in Madagascar
A. It meets the high demands of the Malagasy people. B. It suits the varying conditions there.
C. It is the best rice variety worldwide. D. It can be grown twice a year there.
34. What can be inferred about the 124 rice farmers in the project
A. They are far-sighted. B. They are pioneers in farming.
C They find the yield fairly satisfying. D. They doubt the advanced farming technique.
35. What would be the best title for the text
A Doing experiments in Madagascar B. Increasing types of Madagascan rice
C. Bringing Madagascar into the future D. Helping Madagascar become rice self-sufficient
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了马达加斯加国内的大米生产仍然不能满足该岛的需求，该国不得不严重依赖进口大米来帮助确保国家有足够的粮食，于是中国专家在马达加斯加主要他们教当地人如何种植一种新的水稻，帮助帮助马达加斯加实现大米自给自足。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“To work towards this, an FAO South-South Cooperation project began between China and Madagascar. Chinese experts on rice production came to Madagascar to provide training to farmers on how to grow and harvest a greater-yielding (更高产的) type of rice.(为此，粮农组织在中国和马达加斯加之间启动了一个南南合作项目。中国水稻生产专家来到马达加斯加，为农民提供如何种植和收获高产水稻的培训)”可知，中国专家在马达加斯加主要他们教当地人如何种植一种新的水稻。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“This Weichu rice variety has been especially developed to fit the climatic and soil conditions of Madagascar.(这种威楚水稻品种是专门为适应马达加斯加的气候和土壤条件而开发的)”可知，在马达加斯加使用威楚水稻品种因为它适合那里不同的条件。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Alain Randrianarivelo, who has farmed rice for more than 20 years, says,“I think this new variety of rice is the future of our agriculture. The yield obtained is breathtaking.” All the other participating farmers think so, too.( Alain Randrianarivelo种植水稻已有20多年，他说：“我认为这种新型水稻是我们农业的未来。获得的收益是惊人的。”所有其他参与的农民也都这么认为)”可推知，该项目的124名稻农发现产量相当令人满意。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“For Madagascar as a country, this new variety will allow it to be self-sufficient by considerably reducing the level of rice imports.(对于马达加斯加这个国家来说，这种新品种将大大减少大米进口，从而使其能够自给自足)”结合文章主要说明了马达加斯加国内的大米生产仍然不能满足该岛的需求，该国不得不严重依赖进口大米来帮助确保国家有足够的粮食，于是中国专家在马达加斯加主要他们教当地人如何种植一种新的水稻，帮助帮助马达加斯加实现大米自给自足。由此可知，D选项“帮助马达加斯加实现大米自给自足”最符合文章标题。故选D。

In an art class my friend Mareya and I took, we had to look at art made by lots of different artists and then try creating our own. We made pencil drawings and paintings using only small dots of paint.
For our very last task, our teacher asked us to paint a portrait of a friend or family member. Mareya and I looked at each other and nodded. We both had the same idea.
“You’ll each get one of these art sets,” said Ms. Williams. “Every set contains a small canvas (画布), some tempera paints (蛋彩画颜料), and two foam brushes (泡沫刷). You can paint in any style you choose.”Mareya and I put our sets into our art bags. Then we headed over to her house.
And then our friend Jasmine stopped us. “I was so excited to tell you my amazing news. My family just got the cutest dog named Ginger, and if you want to come over, you can meet her!” Jasmine's house is only a couple of blocks from Mareya’s, so after checking in with Mareya’s mom, of course we had to go. Ginger was the cutest dog imaginable. “Whenever she’s not running around, she’s sound asleep in dreamland,” said Jasmine. She led the way to the kitchen. “Do you have time for a snack ” “Sure!” we said.
After we ate some cookies at the kitchen table, Mareya and I stood up to leave. But when we went to pick up our art bags by the front door, we found a big surprise! Mareya pointed at our torn-open art sets. “Something tells me Ginger might not have been sleeping this whole time.” “Oh no!” I said. “Our foam brushes are now foam shreds (碎片)!” “Bad Ginger!” Jasmine shouted. “It’s OK,” said Mareya. “She’s way too little to know any better.”

【答案】One possible version:
On the walk to Mareya’s house, I said, “I hope Ms. Williams will understand why we couldn’t do our portrait task.” “What do you mean ” asked Mareya curiously. “We’re allowed to paint in any style. Let’s just use different paintbrushes.” She bent down, picked up two skinny sticks, and said, “How about these ” “Why not ” I laughed. And I told her that I was pretty sure tempera paints were safe for finger painting. We carefully painted each other's portraits with our colorful fingers. Besides, we both added Ginger to our paintings.
We ended up having a great time making our portraits with our fingers. And even though our masterpieces turned out way different than they would have with the foam brushes, they ended up being our favorite pieces of the whole art term. “We’re sorry,” we told Ms. Williams, “but a dog really did eat part of our homework.” Ms. Williams smiled happily. “Art is a lot like life. It almost never turns out the way we plan. And sometimes going in an entirely different direction is the very thing that makes it wonderful.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了美术课上，作者和好友Mareya在观看艺术作品后，然后尝试创作自己的作品。最后，威廉姆斯老师布置任务，让她们画一幅朋友或家人的肖像。回家途中，作者和Mareya去了家，见到了她家刚刚养的小狗Ginger。最后作者和Mareya用自己的风格完成了作品，并在作品中加入了Ginger。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“在去Mareya家的路上，我说：“我希望Williams女士能理解我们为什么不能完成肖像任务。””可知，第一段可描写作者向Mareya解释为什么不能完成肖像任务以及两人是如何完成作品的。
②由第二段首句内容“最后我们用手指做肖像画玩得很开心。”可知，第二段可描写威廉姆斯老师对两幅作品的评价。
2.续写线索：解释——灵机一动——作画——交作品——老师评价
3.词汇激活
