A 16-year-old from Florida is a two-time state Geography Bee winner.Now a children’s book author，Kaylan is sharing his knowledge of the world with children across the state of Florida.
Kaylan’s love for geography started when he was about three years old.“I just had a love for looking at maps that we had when I was growing up，” he said during a recent interview.
When Kaylan was in middle school，he won his state’s Geography Bee.He then advanced to the national competition，placing in the top 10 among students in the United States.
“It helps us to understand our world，” Kaylan said.“With that knowledge，so much can come from it.” Now a junior in high school，Kaylan said that having a basic understanding of our world allows us to create pioneering solutions to the challenges we face.
Although his competing days are over，Kaylan hopes to inspire kids to learn more about geography through his new book series.Called Kobe’s World Adventure，the books follow the adventures of a boy named Kobe who travels the world with his family and learns new geographical facts along the way.
The first book is about Kobe and his family exploring the US.Young readers will find many of the facts Kaylan has learned over the years，along with colorful illustrations(插图)．The second book of the six-book series will be published in fall.
Kaylan has also started an organization called Lending Hands Global Foundation.Through the nonprofit(非营利机构)，he has been sharing copies of Kobe’s World Adventure with students in underserved communities in Florida.So far，he has donated about 1,500 books.
Kaylan recently read to a group of children at the Boys & Girls Club of Central Florida.He enjoys working with the nationwide organization，which provides after-school programs for kids.Seeing the kids’ responses to Kobe’s World Adventure was rewarding.“I can tell that some of the students that I’m reading to are picking up on the topic，” Kaylan said，“and building a love for it.”

We’re frequently told that our attention problem—being easily distracted—results from modern technology.If we truly want to focus，according to the popular belief，we need to turn off all our digital devices and quit social media.
Here’s my opinion about that idea.This era(时代) is no different than any other—there has always been a “crisis of attention”．Think about life long ago：people in ancient India or Europe didn’t have smartphones and social media，but they were faced with the same problem.
A crisis of attention can happen anytime you don’t allow yourself a break—when you don’t allow your mind to daydream，which may inspire your creativity.We are always engaged in something.With these digital tools at our fingertips，we have constant access to all these forms of communication，content，and interaction，and we don’t let our thoughts wander(漫游) freely.When was the last time you stood in line at a store and just looked around Thought about whatever came to your mind Or did you pull out your phone，check your texts，read your email during that time
We all do it.We catch ourselves all the time going from one type of mental engagement to the next.Like surfing online (clicking from link to link)，we go from one task to the next and the next.We are “all task and no downtime”．Even something you might think of as relaxing is more engagement.Checking your phone messages may seem “fun”，but it’s just another task for your attention.Your attention is focused on task after task after task，without a moment for the mind to wander freely.
It’s not always realistic to unplug.We can’t just turn off our phones and pause our email.We can’t create a distraction-free world.The problem is not the existence of modern technology; rather，it’s how we’re using it.
28．Why does the author mention people in ancient India
A．To argue against the popular belief.
B．To discuss the benefits of technology.
C．To suggest a solution to the attention problem.
D．To show the seriousness of the attention problem.
29．Which is an example of “downtime” according to the author
A．Chatting with friends. B．Reading a newspaper.
C．Sitting back doing nothing. D．Checking phone messages.
30．What does the underlined word “unplug” mean in the last paragraph
A．Work long hours. B．Improve technology.
C．Stop using digital devices. D．Balance work and leisure.
31．Which section of a website is the text most likely from
A．Culture. B．Fashion. C．History. D．Opinion.
D
To humans，roads mean connection and escape; to other life-forms，they spell death and division.A half-century ago，just 3 percent of land animals met their end on a road; by 2017 the number had greatly doubled.
Considering the outsize effects of roads，it’s perhaps surprising that they didn’t truly receive their scientific due until the late 20th century.In 1993，Richard Forman，a landscape ecologist，coined an English term “road ecology”，defined loosely as the study of how “life changes for plants and animals with a road and traffic nearby”．As the 1990s wore on，road ecology gained steam.
Like most people，I at once cherish animals and think nothing of piloting a 3,000-pound death machine.One summer，in Alaska，I hit a songbird—a death I didn’t discover until I found the delicate splash of feathers the next day.I’d killed it unconsciously.But I could do nothing.
Road ecology offers one path through this thicket(灌木丛)．North America and Europe constructed their road networks with little regard for how they would affect nature.Today，in theory，we know better.Road ecology has revealed the danger of thoughtless development and pointed us toward solutions.Over the last several decades，its practitioners have constructed bridges for bears，tunnels for turtles.In Kenya，elephants move slowly beneath highways and railroads via passages as tall as two-story houses.
And road ecology has yielded more than crossings: We’ve also learned to map and protect the migrations of certain animals，to design roadsides that nourish bees and butterflies—proof that old mistakes need not be permanent.
Today we’re entering a period that might fairly be considered the golden age of road ecology.The coming years will undoubtedly be transformative ones for our road network.Still，whether we can ever truly undo the harms of our concrete-coated world is far less certain.
32．What may be the reason for the doubled death number by 2017
A．Road noises. B．Traffic accidents.
C．Natural disasters. D．Hunting activities.
33．What did the author want to tell us by the experience in Alaska in paragraph 3
A．Songbirds were common in that area.
B．The songbird’s death was undervalued.
C．Driving a car was necessary for his job.
D．He was much troubled by the songbird.
34．Which best describes the impact of road ecology
A．Far-reaching. B．One-sided.
C．Short-lived. D．Unnoticeable.
35．What is the most suitable title for the text
A．How Road Ecology Has Transformed the Natural World
B．What Measures Should Be Taken to Protect Animals
C．Why Road Ecology Will Change Humans
D．What Difficulties Humans Face in Road Construction

How Mobile Technology Has Changed Our Lives Forever
The invention of the mobile phone and mobile technology was incredible. 36 Here we highlight the most common ones that technology is changing our lives today.
· Mobile technology has changed how we communicate.
The advancement of technology has made communication unbelievably fast and convenient.In the past，writing a letter or finding a wired telephone was the best way to communicate remotely with someone. 37 You can send them a message on social media，text them，video chat，email，or put a call through.

In many places，it’s a common sight to see just about everyone with a mobile phone within arm’s reach.In the first two ways listed above，that can be useful. 39 As mobile technologies have become more and more widespread in today’s society，research has begun to connect heavy day-to-day use with a number of side effects，the majority of which are related to mental health.
40 We should accept that mobile technologies are here to stay and improve our lives for the better in spite of its shortcomings.In my opinion，its advantages far outweigh its disadvantages.
A．We cannot ignore its disadvantages.
B．All in all，mobile devices greatly benefit our lives.
C．However，instant access is not always a good thing.

It was a wonderful spring day.The Earth was finally awakening from her winter sleep.New life was everywhere.The sky was clear and blue.The air smelled sweet.The sun was kissing the world with its warmth.It was already nearly 21℃.
I was driving to pick my son up from the workshop，where he works a few days a week.On my drive I saw various beautiful flowers in people’s yards.The fields were full of yellow dandelions(蒲公英) with some already turning into little white balls of seeds.
The trees were starting to awaken too.The blossoms on them were white，purple and pink.The songs of the birds were in the air as well.I was taking it all in and feeling the love from the creation all around me.I longed to be a part of it and share my love as well.
I pulled into the driveway of the workshop and parked my car.As I got out，I saw a lost little butterfly larva(幼虫) moving the wrong way towards the sidewalk.It was just about to go under my tire when I reached down and picked it up.I held it gently in my hand and walked over to the grassy hillside on the other side of the parking lot.Before I put it down，I said，“You will never become a butterfly if you get run over，my friend.The best place you stay is the grass.”
Just then，it was time to leave work，and my son came out.As he saw me，he waved from the distance.I hurried to meet him，still holding the butterfly larva in my hand.When he saw what I had in my hand，he was very curious and asked me what I was holding.I told him and said I was going to put it back in the grass.
