Juleus Ghunta is a published children’s author and award-winning poet. But growing up, he could barely read. Ghunta’s family lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. His mother often had to make tough choices about how to use their limited resources, including a decision to send his oldest sister to school.
When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn’t catch up on his reading skills. Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had no access to books. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he could spell his name, but he still couldn’t make out words or read with understanding.
When Ghunta was about 12, a young teacher decided to start a special reading program for struggling students. Ghunta was the first student to sign up. The teacher was incredibly kind to him. She did not ask anything of Ghunta, except that he worked hard and believed in himself.
Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. “She had left me with the gift of literacy,” he said, “and with the value as a human being.” His life took a new direction.
He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for “most improved in reading”. He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children’s books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He’s now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.
Ghunta said, “I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her— the hope and the light—with me and how it continues to be a source of joy.”
24. What caused Ghunta’s poor reading ability
A. Limited family resources. B. Early disinterest in reading.
C. Lacking enough attention. D. Terrible memory.
25. Who inspired Ghunta greatly in his study
A. His mother. B. His sister.
C. A young teacher. D. Other struggling students.
26. What does paragraph 5 mainly say about Ghunta
A. His future life. B. His achievements.
C. His family background. D. His self-taught experience.
27. Which of the following can best describe Ghunta’s story
A. Reading helps people find happiness.
B. Direction is the key to success.
C. Poverty contributes to a person’s success.
D. A teacher’s belief lights a student’s path.

Sensory-based food education given to 3—5-year-old children in the kindergarten increases their willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, according to a new study from the University of Eastern Finland.
The researchers used the sensory-based food education method Sapere, which makes use of children’s natural way of relying on all of the five senses when learning new things. In the Sapere method, children are given an active role around food, and they are encouraged to share their sensory experiences. For example, kindergartens can introduce different vegetables and fruit to children. They can involve children in baking and cooking, and they can offer children opportunities to grow their own vegetables in the kindergarten backyard. Food-related themes can also be included in books and games.
The researchers compared children in different kindergarten groups. Some were offered sensory-based food education, while others weren’t. Children were offered a snack buffet containing different vegetables and fruit to choose from, and the researchers took photos of their plates to analyse their willingness to choose and eat these food items.
The findings show that sensory-based food education increased children’s willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, especially among children whose parents had a lower educational background. On average, children of lower-educated parents tend to eat fewer vegetables and fruit. This is how food education given in the kindergarten can help even out the dietary gap between families.
“Another interesting finding is that the Sapere food education method also seems to improve the eating atmosphere in kindergarten groups. This encourages children to choose a more diverse selection on their plates,” explains K hk nen, who is an expert on health.
Positive and personal food-related experiences gained in the kindergarten can help adjust dietary preferences in a direction that is beneficial to health. Dietary preferences learned in early childhood often stick with a person all the way to adolescence and adulthood.
28. What is the main focus of the new study
A. The relation between diet and health.
B. The impact of family on food choices.
C. The role of kindergartens in food education.
D. The effectiveness of Sapere in food education.
29. How did the researchers conduct their research
A. By making a comparison. B. By analyzing the previous cases.
C. By interviewing some children. D. By collecting the relevant data.
30. What do the underlined words “even out” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Measure. B. Narrow. C. Analyze. D. Update.
31. What’s K hk nen’s attitude towards the Sapere method
A. Doubtful. B. Opposed. C. Favorable. D. Unclear.
D
Red pandas live in high-altitude, mild forests where they prefer to be near water and have access to bamboo. They are mostly active at dusk and dawn, and they sleep during most of the day. They rely on the trees for shelter, to escape from predators (捕食者), and to sunbathe in the winter.
About 98% of a red panda’s diet is bamboo. They need a lot of it to survive—around 2 kilograms each day. However, finding enough bamboo is difficult as the red panda’s habitat becomes smaller. When people move into the red panda’s area, they clear forests for housing and commercial development, farming and mining.
Natural disasters such as landslides, floods; heavy snow and rainfall have also destroyed their habitats. Forest fires, invasive (侵入的) plant species, and issues with bamboo flowering (including the death of the plant) have similarly had effects on the red panda’s habitat. Species of bamboo are affected by forest fires and other environmental changes. As people move into the area, they often collect bamboo, leaving less for red pandas to eat.
Although the red panda is endangered, steps are being made to save the species and its habitat. According to the IUCN, China has 46 protected areas, covering about 65% of the species’ habitat in the country. There are at least 19 protected areas in India, five in Bhutan and three in Myanmar.
The Red Panda Network is a nonprofit organization that protects red pandas and their habitat. They work with local community groups to establish wildlife feeding centers, train forest protectors to raise awareness about red pandas, and work with villagers to establish protected areas. The WWF is also working to protect red pandas and their habitats. Because more than a third of the potential habitat is in Nepal, the group works with yak herders (牦牛牧民) and other groups there to lower their effect on the red panda’s habitat.
32. Why is it challenging for red pandas to find enough food
A. Bamboo is not good enough. B. They are not active hunters.
C. Their habitats are becoming smaller. D. There is a lack of water in their habitat.
33. What do the data in paragraph 4 mainly show
A. Global efforts to protect red pandas. B. Serious situations faced by red pandas.
C. India’s deep protection of rare wildlife. D. China’s advantage in keeping red pandas.
34. What does the Red Panda Network do to protect red pandas
A. Force yak herders to move away.
B. Advocate people to adopt them.
C. Cooperate with local experts to do research.
D. Work with communities to build wildlife feeding centers.
35. What’s a suitable title for this text
A. The Key Points of Red Pandas’ Survival
B. The Influence of Natural Disasters on Bamboo
C. The Threat and Protection of Red Pandas
D. The Reason for the Disappearance of Bamboo

Max arrived at an office, for his first interview. He used to live with his parents. He was frustrated with his parents blaming him for every little thing he did at home.
While waiting for the interview, he was thinking, “Only if I succeed in today’s interview will I say goodbye to my parents’ house and settle down in the big city, which will let me avoid having to listen to my parents’ complaints about little things all the time.”
He started thinking about little things his parents used to blame him for— How his mother asked him to make his bed after he woke up. If he left the bathroom door open, his mother would ask him to close the door and before that check if the tap was turned off properly. How his father asked him to switch off the fan or light switch before he left. How his mother always blamed him for not keeping things at the right places.
While thinking about all these, he thought, “Why should I listen to their words Why should I do all these If I get a job, I will definitely leave their home.”
When looking around, Max saw that there were many candidates (应试者) sitting in that office. He saw that the light in the office was still on and it was ten o’clock in the morning. Remembering his father’s words, he got up and switched off the light. When he saw that water was falling from the water cooler kept at the office, he went to turn off the tap properly.
It was time to go up to the second floor for the interview, everyone went upstairs in turn. On the way up the stairs, a chair stood in the way, and the other candidates bypassed it, but Max removed it, set it aside, and walked to the second floor.
Now, as Max waited outside, he saw the candidates in front of him keep going in and coming out immediately. After talking to these people, he learned that the interviewers didn’t ask them anything.

M: Good morning, everybody. Glad to meet you here. I’d like to share my experience as a sports journalist with all of you. A few years ago, my newspaper sent me to China to report on the Olympic Games in Beijing. Everywhere I went I was questioned by journalism students: How much money did I earn How many countries had I visited Had I met David Beckham In China, sports reporting is seen as a dream job and Chinese students are fascinated by foreign sports reporters. Several years later I visited China again to write about a major motor race in Shanghai. At the track I saw one of those former students, Li Jie. He was working for one of China’s largest news agencies. I asked him about his life as a sports writer. He replied that sometimes it was wonderful. But there was a lot of travel, a lot of stress and sometimes sports people were not very helpful. Li had discovered one of the hard truths about life as a sports writer. You might think all you need are writing skills and knowledge of sports. These are certainly important, but you also need to be prepared for many problems. On that visit to Shanghai for example, the journey from my hotel to the race-track took at least three hours. For four days, I followed racing drivers and organizers around but they were too busy to talk to me. When I finally got back to my hotel at night, everything, including the restaurant, was closed.

30. B 词义猜测题。根据第四段“The findings show that sensory-based food education increased children’s willingness to choose vegetables and fruit…”可知，食物教育在提高儿童选择蔬菜和水果的意愿上起着重要的作用。所以幼儿园的食物教育可以帮助缩小不同家庭间孩子在饮食习惯上的差异。故画线词与Narrow意思最为接近。
31. C 观点态度题。根据第五段K hk nen的叙述，Sapere食品教育方法似乎也改善了幼儿园群体的饮食氛围，这鼓励孩子们在他们的盘子里选择更多样化的食物。因此可推断，K hk nen对Sapere方法持“支持”的态度。

After looking at his file, an interviewer asked, “When are you joining ” A wave of surprise flooded into Max’s mind. Looking at his face, the interviewer said, “Today, in interviews, no one was asked anything. We noticed everyone came but no one switched off the tap or light except you. You have good values and habits. This is what we evaluate most.”
After the interview, Max reached home and hugged his parents. He told them about the interview and the result. He apologized to them and thanked them. He said, “In my life, my degree has less value in comparison to the lessons I have learned from you because of your strict demand on small matters. Today, I come to know that not only education but good habits and values have their own importance if I want to succeed in life. A person who doesn’t have self-disciplines, no matter how smart he is, can’t succeed in his life.”
