Bethany was a single mother with a daughter aged 6. She worked very hard. She drove a small old car. One September, the teachers returned from a summer break to see Bethany drive up to school with three children. The two boys were Bethany’s former students who had lost their parents. They did not want to enter a foster care center. They turned to Bethany—their first grade teacher for help. Though she and her daughter lived in a small house, Bethany took the boys in.
During lunch, while other teachers shared life stories, Bethany never complained about her new burdens. She did, however, mention that with three children to transport, the car was too small and slow. It even burned engine oil. Bethany needed something new. However, she couldn’t buy one with three children to raise. As a good friend, I listened to her concerns. At that time, I did not have much money. But I wanted to help Bethany buy a car. An idea hit me when I watched a TV show.
One day, Bethany received an invitation to a TV show. She was surprised but decided to attend it. Midway through the show the host called Bethany to the stage. He explained he had received a letter, knowing her need for a new car. The audience listened attentively to Bethany’s story and were deeply moved. Then the host announced that Bethany would receive a new car for her family. Cheers filled the studio and Bethany shook in disbelief.
Six hundred miles away, I watched the joy of it all from the television in my living room. Bethany’s big heart taught me many lessons that year. I did nothing but share a story.

Mosquitoes (蚊子) are actually some of the most dangerous creatures on the planet. According to the World Health Organization, mosquitoes cause over 700,000 deaths every year. But there is new hope in the battle between humans and mosquitoes. Scientists at Auburn University may have found the secret to stopping mosquitoes from spreading diseases. “We have created a type of fabric (织物) that could prevent mosquito bites,” says John Beckmann, who led the study.
Beckmann remembered a camping trip during which he had almost been eaten alive by mosquitoes despite wearing a long-sleeved shirt. “People often say, ‘Wear long sleeves,’” said Beckmann. “But long sleeves don’t block mosquitoes.”
While some companies are producing clothes that they say are bite-proof (防叮咬的), the clothes contain some harmful chemicals or are made of thick fabrics that are too hot to wear and are too easy for mosquitoes to overcome. That’s because there are holes in the makeup of their fabrics that mosquitoes and other biting insects can get through.
The key was to discover a fabric that removed these gaps and was still cool enough to wear in hot weather. “That is the reason why this project is not as easy as people think,” Beckmann said.
The team experimented by using a computer numerical control knitting (编织) machine that could be programmed with different patterns until they found a bite-proof one. But the researchers are still not satisfied and will be spending the next year perfecting the comfort aspect of the material and eventually creating a clothing line.
The hope is that finally any type of fabric can be knitted into the lab’s pattern so that all kinds of clothing companies from baby clothing producers to dress designers could create bite-proof clothing.
8. What happened to Beckmann during his camping trip
A. He was badly bitten by mosquitoes.
B. He discovered a new kind of mosquito.
C. He felt unbearably hot in long-sleeved clothes.
D. He mastered some skills in dealing with mosquitoes.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The popularity of bite-proof clothing.
B. Disadvantages of existing bite-proof clothing.
C. Advancement in bite-proof clothing technology.
D. Comparisons between different types of bite-proof clothes.
10. What do the researchers plan to do next
A. Work with different clothing companies.
B. Improve the material’s comfort.
C. Sell their fabric worldwide.
D. Produce baby clothes.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Mosquitoes: the silent killers
B. The battle against mosquitoes
C. A step towards a bite-free future
D. Proven ways to prevent mosquito bites
D
Vacations are an important part of every person’s life. Following long seasons of hard work, it is great to get away from busy schedules and enjoy nature. The tourism industry is fully built around the need for vacations. While tourism is good, it has its dark side. The entire industry depends on nature, yet it tends to destroy what is left of natural resources.
Tourism is one of the leading contributors to climate change. According to the U. N., tourism contributes up to 5% of all man-made emissions (排放), with the rate expected to increase to 5.3% by 2030.
Besides emission-based pollution, tourism also contributes heavily to plastic pollution. According to the U. N., at least eight out of ten tourists throw away single-use plastic, of which eight million tonnes end up in the ocean each year. This kind of pollution can be reduced by sustainable (可持续的) vacationing.
Sustainability can be achieved if we take steps to protect our natural resources. While vacationing allows us to enjoy the natural resources, the sustainable steps we take protect nature for future generations.
The term ecotourism is often used interchangeably with sustainable tourism. While they are related, they are not the same thing. Sustainability tends to take a more comprehensive (全面的) approach to preserving nature, and social and cultural practices. Meanwhile, ecotourism mainly focuses on protecting nature.
If we look at it comprehensively, both ecotourism and sustainable tourism are important principles (原则) to be embraced. There are some actions that can only be taken at policy (政策) development levels. However, there is a lot that can be done at a personal level. When it comes to ecotourism, your inspiration for others to take action is equally important. Unless you get your actions right, you may not be in a position to help others see the light.
12. Which of the following is not the harmful effect of tourism
A. Relying on nature. B. Causing plastic pollution.
C. Leading to climate change. D. Damaging natural resources.
13. How does the author explain the term “ecotourism” in the text
A. By comparing it with sustainable tourism.
B. By giving examples of ecotourism activities.
C. By describing the harmful effect of ecotourism.
D. By presenting historical development of ecotourism.
14. What does the underlined word “embraced” in the last paragraph mean
A. Forgotten. B. Accepted. C. Changed. D. Ignored.
15. What can we know from the text
A. Policy changes can solve the problems caused by tourism.
B. Ecotourism and sustainable tourism are completely different.
C. Each person can do a lot to support ecotourism and sustainable tourism.
D. The rate tourism contributes to man-made emissions will probably increase by 5.3%.

In a small town lives an old man named Mr. Benson. He lives alone. He has a big scar on his face that makes him look a little scary. No one talks to him, and no one helps him carry his things up the difficult stairs to his home.
Mr. Benson does not have any friends. He is not married. But one day, a new family moves into the neighborhood. They are a nice couple, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence, and their children, Amanda and David. They move into the building where Mr. Benson lives.
The other people who live in the building welcome the new family. They say hello to Amanda and David, but they tell them not to talk to Mr. Benson. “He is a scary old man. He has no friends and he has a strange scar.”
Amanda, David, and their parents think this is very silly advice. When they see Mr. Benson in the hallway or in the street outside their building, they always say hello with a smile and ask how he is feeling today.
Mr. Benson is very happy to see them. He tells them they are always welcome in his home. He gives Amanda and David some delicious cupcakes to eat.
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence always help Mr. Benson with his groceries, and Amanda and David like to sit and drink tea with him. He tells wonderful stories! He was once a very famous chef, and he makes the most delicious desserts in the whole world, in Amanda’s opinion.
One evening, all the neighbors in the building hear laughter and the sounds of cups and plates and silverware in Mr. Benson’s apartment. They are very confused! It sounds like a delightful dinner. They all wonder why they are not invited.

答案】The next day, Mrs. Clarence talks to her neighbors. “You really must get to know Mr. Benson. He is so funny! And he is a fantastic chef. He told us the amazing story of his scar. He had an accident when he was helping his parents on their farm.” The neighbors all feel very silly. They do not know anything about Mr. Benson. They all start to follow the examples the Clarences gave them.
Soon, they all enjoy Mr. Benson’s delicious cakes every weekend at their dinners. Everyone brings something to these weekly dinners, and they share their food and their time with each other. What they love most of all are Mr. Benson’s funny stories! As they watch Amanda and David play and laugh with Mr. Benson, the neighbors all see that there was nothing to be afraid of. They were not kind to the old man, and he is really a good person. Everyone in the building is happier because of the good example the Clarence family set for them. They all live better together now, and Mr. Benson does not feel lonely anymore because he is now part of the community.
