Fortunately or otherwise, moats(护城河)have been part of my neighborhood throughout my more than 60-year life. No matter where we moved, our house was never more than 300 meters away from the moat that is not far enough to avoid the overpowering unpleasant gas that wafted night and day from the putrid water of the moat where untreated sewage had been dumped for centuries. Later, I shifted to the capital. My house was just 50 meters away from a moat and its stench was no different than that from the one in Xi’an.

A few years after I shifted to the capital, the Xi’an authorities began cleaning the moat. Thousands of residents who were forced to stand the stench volunteered to help with the cleaning and after years of efforts, they turned the moat into a tourist attraction along with the famous city wall. It took a few more years for the Beijing authorities to start cleaning the moat near my house. It was dredged and its bed paved. More sewage plants were installed to treat the polluted water which was then re-released into the moat. And restaurants and factories along the moat were shifted elsewhere to prevent untreated water or waste from being discharged into it. Now the moat is perhaps the most attractive part of the Yuan Capital Relics Park. The 10-kilometer-long moat is my favorite place for evening walk. The cleaning of the moats in Xi’an and Beijing exemplify the efforts China has made to clean rivers, lakes, canals and moats.

While the government’s determination, huge investment and strict supervision are responsible for the improvement in water quality, China’s unique “river chief mechanism” has also played an important role in the success. The mechanism, introduced in 2007, assigns the upkeep and health of each part of a river to the top official of that area. Along the moat near my home in Beijing. there are many billboards with the phone numbers of local authorities who are also the river chiefs of different sections of the moat, asking residents to report any activities that could pollute the moat. I have no idea how many river chiefs there are in China, but I know there are at least five for the 10-km-long moat.

But for all the progress it has made in environmental and ecological protection, China still has a long way to go to improve water quality to the highest level, because despite more than 90 percent of the waste water being treated in urban areas, sewage treatment is not yet effective in rural areas.

4. What is the writer’s original feeling about the moat?

A. It was attractive. B. It was fragrant.

C. It was disgusting. D. It was magical.

5. Which of the following words has the same meaning with the underlined word in paragraph 2?

A. Dragged B. Polished C. Cleared D. Removed

6. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 3?

A. Residents mainly take charge of the moat nearby.

B. Residents must inform officials of daily activities.

C. River chiefs help residents sort the household waste.

D. River chiefs play a positive part in improving the moat.

7. what can we infer from the passage?

A. Eco-friendly China will continue to improve water quality.

B. China possesses the most effective tools to better water quality.

C. China is far from active in improving water quality.

D. The progress made in eco-protection can be wholly achieved across the country.

C

The use of face masks has become the new normal in parts of the world. Masks, However, can affect the quality of communication between wearers. It can be more difficult to hear voices through the coverings. Many business and public spaces also have social distancing barriers in place, which also make it harder for people to be heard and understood.

Japanese company Donut Robotics has created a “smart” mask that aims to improve communication for people wearing face coverings to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Donut Robotics calls its invention the “c-mask”. The device is meant to fit over other kinds of face masks commonly worn by the public. The c-mask is made of soft plastic material. It contains a built-in microphone and has holes in the front to let air in. When it is turned on, the mask uses Bluetooth technology to connect to a mobile device. An app then helps users perform several actions, including turning speech into text, completing telephone calls and making the user’s voice louder. The device can also translate a person’s voice from Japanese into eight other languages.

Taisuke Ono, the head of Donut Robotics, told the Reuters, “We worked hard for years to develop a robot and we have used that technology to create a product that responds to how the coronavirus has reshaped society.” The company was able to raise money to develop the smart mask through a campaign on the Japanese crowdfunding service Fundinno. He noted that the effort raised $265,000 in just the first 37 minutes. “It was very surprising, because it would usually take 3 or 4 months to get that kind of money,” Ono said.

The company produced a working model of the mask within a month by using software developed for its other robot products. The mask design was similar to one created years ago that mapped facial muscles to interpret speech. The company plans to ship its first 5,000 c-masks to buyers in Japan starting in September, looking to sell the devices in China, the United States and Europe. Donut Robotics plans to sell the devices for about $40 per mask, in an effort to capture a mass market that did not exist until a few months ago. “We hope that our device will be useful in a society where people naturally practice social distancing,” the company states on its website.

8. What is special about c-mask?

A. It protects wearers from being infected.

B. It helps shorten the social distance.

C. It has the function of translating.

D. It is made of rare material.

9. What does the author indicate using the figures in paragraph 3?

A. The device has aroused a revolution in the IT world.

B. Donut Robotics has a strong desire to fund a robot.

C. Donut Robotics is facing a fierce financial crisis.

D. The device has gained popular recognition.

10. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A. C-masks’ market will get more and more prosperous.

B. Donut Robotics made the first try on c-mask design.

C. C-masks will be sold a high price to gain more profits.

D. Donut Robotics will put in more to stimulate the world economy.

11. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To advocate innovation.

B. To advertise for Donut Robotics.

C. To show the necessity of wearing masks.

D. To introduce a novel communication mask.

Malaysia’s last rhinoceros(犀牛), Iman, died last November. Some skin, eggs and tissue are all that remain of her. Now, scientists plan to use experimental technology to try to bring back Malaysia’s rhinos by using cells from Iman and two other dead rhinos.

Muhammad, biologist at the International Islamic University of Malaysia,  said, “If everything...well and everybody supports us, it’s not impossible.”

Malaysia’s rhinos, the smallest among the world’s rhinos, once lived across Asia. But hunting and forest losses reduced their numbers. There are about 80 such rhinos left in Indonesia. But, in Malaysia, the species disappeared from the wild in 2015. Iman was 25 when she died at her home in a protected natural area on Borneo island. Tam, the country’s last male rhino, died there in May of 2019. Efforts to get the two to mate and produce young had failed.

John Payne of the Borneo Rhino Alliance has worked to save Malaysia’s rhinos for about 40 years. He said that Tam was likely too old to produce good sperm. “To increase the chances of success, one should get sperm and eggs from the rhinos in Indonesia,” he said. But, Payne said Indonesia is not supportive of the idea.

The Malaysian scientists plan to use cells from the dead rhinos to create an embryo. The embryo will then be placed into a living rhino, or a closely related animal, such as the horse. The plan is similar to one for the African northern white rhinoceros, of which there are only just two left. Even if it worked, the animals’ lack of diversity could create a threat to their long-term survival, Galli told Reuters.

Indonesian scientist Arief Boediono is among those helping in Malaysia. Arief hopes that suecess there will help his country’s rhinos.

“It may take five, 10, 20 years. I don’t know,” Arief said. “But there has already been some success involving lab rats in Japan, so that means there is a chance.”

For now, however, Iman’s skin will be used to create a reproduction of the animal. It will be placed alongside a reproduction of Tam in a Borneo museum.

12. What do Muhammad’s words actually mean?

A. There are no chances of the successful rescue of Malaysia’s rhinos.

B. Indonesia government is to blame for rhinos’ rescue and extinction.

C. The world organizations should support the rhinos’ rescue.

D. There exists hope for the rebirth of Malaysia’s rhinos.

13. What accounts for rhinos’ extinction in Malaysia?

A. Unexpected disaster. B. Shooting and narrowed habitats.

C. Broken food chain. D. Climate changing continuously.

14. What’s the best tile for the text?

A. Scientists try to bring back Malaysia’s rhinos.

B. An experimental technology is facing challenges.

C. Welcome to team up to save wild animals.

D. Rhinos in danger are drawing attention.

15. What is the general tone of the text?

A. Indifferent B. Objective. C. Ridiculous. D. Pessimistic.
