In Phoenix, Arizona, about one in five children is identified with dyslexia (阅读障碍).That means about four students in a classroom of twenty have the problem.
Christine Alm, who has the virtue of being ready to help others, is the co-founder of Dyslexia Road and the mother of four children with dyslexia. According to Alm, each diagnosis(诊断)is unique. That can make it difficult to understand a child’s learning needs. Alm has recently co-founded Dyslexia Road with three other moms whose children also have dyslexia.The nonprofit organization provides learning resources for children who have the learning disability.
Dyslexia means a person has trouble processing written words due to the difficulty of identifying speech sounds. Alm explains that people with dyslexia need more assistance in training their brain to read. But she adds that many people with dyslexia are extremely creative and smart. Whoopi Goldberg, Dav Pilkey and Steven Spielberg are among the famous Americans who have dyslexia.
For Alm, the biggest challenge dealing with dyslexia with her own children is the stigma surrounding the topic. She believes that it’s helpful to have open and honest discussions. “Dyslexia is nothing good or bad, ”she says.“ So children don’t need to feel shameful and embarrassed.”
Alm and the other co-founders of Dyslexia Road host community events to share resources about dyslexia. On March 2, the organization celebrated its launch with a community gathering. Many people turned up, suggesting to Alm the “power of community”. Dyslexia Road will also host three additional events to connect families with learning experts. Guests will discuss the available educational options, how to get a diagnostic evaluation and more. Additionally, the Dyslexia Road website offers resources like books.
“We’re excited to get out there and start pushing forward so that people can come together and figure out how to direct this journey,” Alm says.
4．What do the co-founders of Dyslexia Road have in common
A．Their kids are unique and perfect.
B．Their kids have the same problem.
C．They suffer from learning disability.
D．They ignore children’s learning needs.
5．What does Alm suggest doing for people with dyslexia
A．Helping them do more brain exercises.
B．Making them realise they lack creativity.
C．Creating special reading materials for them.
D．Encouraging them to turn to their own families.
6．What does the underlined word “stigma” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Shame. B．Selection. C．Principle D．Origin.
7．What’s the purpose of hosting the three additional events
A．To find out kids with dyslexia.

C
“Long time no see.” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s e-mail, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.
Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation (直译) of the Chinese greeting with wrong English grammar! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too surprised to believe her. Her words were unbelievable at all. So I did research on . To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see.” Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. Interestingly, if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.
Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see.” was his symbol. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see.” became a popular expression in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.
Some scholars compare America to a huge melting pot. All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together and they change the color and taste of each other. Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed pot.
You can have some examples from other countries, such as pizza from Italian, sushi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Since Americans admire Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way, the American’s melting pot keeps adding richness.
8．Why did the writer himself feel surprised
A．“Long time no see.” is a Chinglish expression.
B．He’s found Americans use the expression formally every day.
C．So many literal translations of expressions are used in America.
D．“Longtime no see.” is used as a standard American English greeting.
9．What do the underlined words “a huge melting pot” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．A large boiling cooker. B．Cross-cultural mixture.
C．A kind of cooked dish. D．Confucius’s famous words.
10．What can be inferred from the passage
A．Detectives translated the phrase “Long time no see.”
B．Cultures cannot be changed in the huge melting pot.
C．Hollywood probably made “Long time no see.” popular.
D．The huge melting pot greatly affects all kinds of languages.
11．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Some American expressions can be used in China.
B．Americans have a strong interest in Chinese culture.
C．American English keeps being enriched by different cultures.
D．Some Chinese daily expressions are introduced into English.
D
Tanzanian government has set up a high-speed internet service on Mount Kilimanjaro, which was named a World Heritage site in 1987. The government says the service will promote safety for climbers and allow people to post selfies as they climb Africa’s tallest mountain at 5,895 meters.
The mountain, created by volcanoes and rising out of a large, open flat area, is part of Kilimanjaro National Park in the northeast of Tanzania. Around 50,000 people visit the park each year. But climbing such a tall mountain isn’t easy. Roughly one-third of the people who try to climb it are forced to give up. The new internet service should make it easier for climbers to reach the top. They can use the internet to check maps and find their way, or call for help if they need it.
Currently, the new service reaches more than halfway up the mountain. The government says that by the end of the year, climbers will get internet even at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro.
The government says safety is the main reason for setting up the internet service on the mountain. As Tanzania depends heavily on tourists, having people post pictures and videos on social media as they climb Mount Kilimanjaro could certainly make the spot even more popular with tourists.
Some people in Tanzania are upset that the government is focusing on internet for tourists instead of the livelihood of people living in the country. One study in 2020 showed that only about 83% of the people living in Tanzania can get cell phone service where they live. It also bothered people who were worried that the project might affect the environment on the mountain. Scientists have already warned that the glaciers on top of Mount Kilimanjaro may melt in the next 10 years. So far, the cable car project doesn’t seem to be making much progress.
12．What can we know about Mount Kilimanjaro
A．It is formed by volcanoes.
B．It’s a hot place on social media.
C．It tries to be a World Heritage site.
D．It’s tallest mountain in the world.
13．What’s the internet service meant to do
A．To better protect the environment.
B．To show the importance of the Net.
C．To help its people connect better.
D．To improve the safety of climbers.
14．What has made some people in Tanzania unhappy with the internet service
A．Environmental concern.
B．Livelihood of the citizens.
C．The poor state of the country.
D．International dissatisfaction.
15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Internet Service Benefits Natives and Visitors.
B．Mount Kilimanjaro Becomes More Accessible.
C．Opinions Differ With the Internet Access in Kilimanjaro.
D．Safety Measures Free Visitors From Safety Concerns.

Some people describe American society as a salad bowl while others see it as a melting pot. In a bowl of freshly tossed salad, all the ingredients are mixed together. 16 All the ingredients of a salad contribute to the finished product. They may be covered with the same dressing, but the green vegetables, tomatoes, lettuce and eggs can all be seen for what they are.
17 Individual ethnic groups blend together, yet keep their cultural uniqueness. People may work together during the day at similar jobs and in the same companies, but at night they may return to their ethnic communities where their own individual culture directs their way of life.
The other concept, which is also used to describe American society, is the melting pot. 18 and yield a bit of what they were to become a new reality. The longer the soup is cooked, the better the taste and the more likely it will be for the mixture to dissolve. In this sense, America can surely be seen as a melting pot where people from all over the world come to live and work together forming one nation.
There are dozens of shared symbols. 19 In such a culture, symbols like the flag and the nation’s official song serve to break down the walls which separate ethnic groups.
Whether a salad bowl or a melting pot, America can best be described as a mixture of both. 20
A．Both are correct depending upon one’s point of view.
B．From this point of view, America is very much like a salad bowl.
C．All of the ingredients mix together, losing their identity
D．That is to say, America is a nation where there is unity in diversity.
E．Thus, one needs to abandon one’s culture to be considered “American”.
F．They never lose their shape, form, or identity.
G．They serve to develop the various ethnic groups to create a new American society.

Earlier that day, Kevin was passing by the neighborhood park when he saw an ad outside Mrs. Murphy’s house. It said that the 88-year-old woman had lost $150 of her savings near their local grocery store, and she’d requested the finder to return the money to her as she really needed it. As Kevin stood there staring at the ad, an idea struck him. He hurried home to his piggy bank, Pigzy, and decided to help Mrs. Murphy. After he broke the piggy bank into pieces, he counted all the money, and there was $170 in total. He put the $20 bill in his study table drawer, the rest in his pocket, and ran to Mrs. Murphy’s house. When the older lady opened her door, she was surprised to see an eight-year-old in her doorway, a bright smile on his face.
“I got your MONEY!”said Kevin excitedly as he pulled out crumpled(弄皱的)dollar bills and coins from his piggy bank.“I counted it ...it’s $150.”
“Oh, honey, but did you find this outside the grocery store ”“No, I didn’t,” replied Kevin. “I had to break Pigzy, my piggy bank. I was saving this up for my skateboard, but that’s okay. I’m happy to help you.”
Mrs. Murphy’s eyes were filled with tears as she held the money. She said,“ Oh, thank ...thank you. What’s your name, little man Do you live around here ”
”I’m Kevin,“ he said.”I live a couple of houses away. I know you needed the money badly, Mrs. Murphy. I know you don’t have enough money. Mom once told me you aren’t rich ...”
The older lady hugged him with full tears in her eyes and said,“ You have a heart of gold, honey. Thank you so much. I appreciate your help. I had saved that money to visit my newborn grandson, but after losing the money, I couldn’t go. Now that I have it back, I think I’ll visit my family. Thank you.”

Good morning, everyone,
My name is Li Hua. It’s an honor to be here to share with you the speech themed The power of music.
When it comes to music, we have our own stories. As for me, music actually offered me enough power to overcome difficulties. When failing in the mid-term examination, I felt so upset that I refused to communicate with my friends, even my parents. When I heard some inspiring songs, which gave me confidence, I gradually ignored the failure and spared no effort to study. Finally, I made great progress in the final examination. From my experience, I hope that you can obtain the power which music offers to achieve your own dreams.
Thanks for your listening.
