HOW TO FIND WATER IN THE WILD

Getting lost in the wild is something that could happen to just anyone. The single most important thing you need to live is water. If you’re resourceful and know where to look, you can find or collect good drinking water in just about any environment on earth. Here are four top tips:

Find a muddy area

Dig a hole about a foot deep and one foot in diameter(直径) and wait. You may be surprised to find that the hole is soon filled with water, which will be muddy, but straining it through some cloth will clean it up, and it will get you by in the short term. It’s crucial to remember that any time you drink found water without purifying it, you’re taking a risk.

Look for plants

In a desert, look for where plants are growing, as they need water. Try to get up high and look downwards, as water is often found in low shaded areas.

Desalinate seawater

On an island you’re surrounded by undrinkable water. You can boil it and capture the steam in a cloth. When it’s soaking wet, you can wring out pure water.

Cut the ice

If you are in Arctic, eating snow doesn’t actually get you much water. And melting ice needs lots of fuel. One good way to get water is cutting through a frozen lake or river surface.

Warning: Beware of bad water

Never drink from water that has dead animals or animal remains in it. The water probably has lots of minerals in it and has become toxic. You have the same problem with seawater—it’s too salty to be healthy to drink. Sadly, birds and animals can sometimes drink water that’s unsafe for people, so you can’t ignore other clues if they’re drinking water that looks bad.

1. How do people get water in the muddy area?

A. Capture the steam in a cloth. B. Look for some plants.

C. Dig a hole about a foot deep. D. Cut through a frozen lake.

2. What is probably the major concern of water seekers after finding water?

A. How to store. B. How to purify. C. How to boil. D. How to melt.

3. Water will be badly harmful to human health if it contains ________.

A. living creatures B. few minerals C. salty elements D. poisonous materials

【答案】1. C    2. B    3. D

Our house was across the street from a hospital. We rented the upstairs rooms to outpatients at the clinic. One summer evening as I was preparing supper, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly awful looking man hardly taller than my eight-year-old daughter.

But the frightening thing was his swollen face. He told me he’d been hunting for a room since noon but no one seemed to offer. For a moment I hesitated, but his next words convinced me, “I could sleep on the porch(门廊). My bus leaves early in the morning.” Having let him in, I went inside and asked him to join us for supper. But he politely refused. When I had finished the dishes, I went out to talk with him for a few minutes.

He told me he fished for a living to support his daughter’s family. He didn’t tell it by way of complaint. In fact, he was thankful that no pain accompanied his disease. He thanked life for giving him the strength to keep going.

At bedtime, we put a small camp bed in the children’s room for him. When I got up in the morning, the bed linens were neatly folded and the little man was out on the porch. He refused breakfast, but just before he left, he smiled, “Your children made me feel at home. Grownups are bothered by my face, but children don’t seem to mind.” I told him he was welcome to come again.

In the years he came to stay overnight with us, there was never a time that he did not bring us fish or vegetables. Other times we received packages. Knowing how far he must walk to mail these and how little money he had made the gifts more precious. I know our family always will be thankful to have known him.

4. What might lead to the old man’s failure to get a room before?

A. His fishing job. B. His lack of money.

C. His ugly appearance. D. His disabled daughter.

5. Why did the author finally accept the old man?

A. He was in very bad condition. B. He agreed to sleep on the porch.

C. He wouldn’t leave until accepted. D. He wouldn’t bother them too much.

6. What can we know about the old man from the text?

A. He suffered a lot from his disease. B. He made efforts to send the author gifts.

C. He pretended to like the author’s children. D. He was embarrassed a lot to stay in the author’s house.

7. Which was of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. An Unforgettable Gift B. An Odd Fisherman

C. A Grateful Heart D. A Silent Complaint

【答案】4. C    5. D    6. B    7. C

This fall, students can monitor occupancy rates in Pearl Campus Library（PCL）spaces through the Waitz App that shows how busy the library is in real time without having to physically visit it themselves.

“Waitz shows how busy each floor of the library is before they leave their dorm or house,” Mandy, Social Media Manager of Waitz’s parent company Occuspace, said. “Now, students never have to waste time pacing the halls of libraries looking for an open seat again.”

“The beauty of Waitz lies in helping anyone who’s walked into one of our popular spaces, only to discover that they can’t find a space,” Maurini, a director of the university said. “Using the app or looking at one of the dashboards, they can identify their best bets for an alternative space—and, in the ideal scene, to know before they go to the library where’s the best place to find a spot.”

Occuspace employs the Internet of Things to determine how many people are in a given space. They installed sensors into the walls of PCL spaces that scan for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals. The signals are then changed into live occupancy data which are displayed in the monitors within PCL and on the mobile app. According to Occuspace CEO Nic Stephenson, the sensors have at least a 90% accuracy rate and do not collect any personally identifiable information. The algorithm（算法）also takes into account the number of devices an average student uses when calculating the occupancy rate of a space.

Stephenson launched Occuspace in 2017 with his roommates after being frustrated by the lack of open spaces at the University’s library. “I was walking up and down the eight floors trying to find a seat to study one night only to see zero spaces available,” Stephenson said. “I literally said to myself out loud, ‘I wish I knew how busy every floor was before I came!’ That’s when Occuspace was born.”

8. What can students do with the Waitz App?

A. Visit the library online. B. Save time when finding books.

C. See seats available in the library. D. Learn how busy students in the library are.

9. What can we know from the fourth paragraph?

A. The signals can be transformed instantly.

B. The sensors can be shown on the mobile app.

C. The algorithm considers the number of students.

D. The users’ identifiable information is kept secret.

10. What inspired Stephenson to develop Occuspace?

A. His roommates’ encouragement.

B. His unpleasant experience at the library.

C. His intention of improving learning efficiency.

D. His hope of seeking an empty space at the university.

11. Which is the main idea of the text?

A. Stephenson develops an app for a library.

B. An Algorithm calculates the number of seats.

C. Occuspace collects accurate personal information.

D. Waitz helps students know occupancy of library spaces.

Some yogurt containers in your grocery store might be looking a little different soon. Pure Dairy yogurt will be sold in cups made mostly of paper. Pure Dairy is a food company which specializes in making yogurt which is often sold in plastic containers. But plastic, unlike paper, can take hundreds of years to break down, leading to long-lasting waste. Now, Pure Dairy’s first-ever paper cups will replace the plastic cups previously used to hold its yogurt products.

“People have been asking for a paper cup, and we welcome this challenge to start reducing our plastic use, and to spark a conversation about how we can drive change together. I think we all have a role to play in protecting our planet.” said Hamdi Ulukaya, Pure Dairy’s founder and chief executive officer.

Pure Dairy currently produces yogurt, creamers, coffee and plant-based drinks. Many of these products already come in paper-based, recyclable packaging. But its yogurt products had always been sold in plastic. That’s why the company has spent the past two years working to create a paper cup. They wanted it to hold yogurt just as well as the plastic cups do. The paper cup is expected to hit grocery shelves at the end of this year, which is 80 percent paperboard made from renewable materials.

The new paper cup still has a thin plastic lining to maintain the quality of the product and prevent the yogurt from seeping into the packaging. Although packaging with mixed materials is often not recyclable, Pure Dairy will continue working with partners to make it happen. This group works with businesses to make their products and packaging more sustainable, meaning they want to use resources so that they will continue to be available in the future. The yogurt company says it hopes to put more sustainable packaging on shelves all over the country which will use less plastic and more paper.

12. Why will the company sell yogurt in paper containers?

A To reduce waste. B. To create a new packaging.

C. To recycle the plastic containers. D. To specialize in making paper cups.

13. What does the underlined word “spark” mean in the second paragraph?

A. Share. B. Continue. C. Dominate. D. Activate.

14. What can we say about the latest paper cup?

A. It can be recyclable. B. It is made of plastic and paper.

C. It doesn’t satisfy the public’s demands. D. It is not the joint effort of the companies.

15. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Paper cups may replace the plastic cups. B. A lot of paper products will be available.

C. A renewable material will replace yogurt. D. The company hopes to produce more packaging.

【答案】12. A    13. D    14. B    15. A

As we all know, health is very important. Only when we are healthy can we study well and enjoy life.

However, many teens don’t pay any attention to their health, and they spend too much time playing online games or drinking too many unhealthy drinks. To enhance the quality of our lives, I suggest that we should adjust our lifestyles. First, keep track of screen time by using a tracking app. Besides, take up a hobby that can be done instead of online games. Thirdly, carry a refillable water bottle with you everywhere and fill it up at least three times a day.

To improve our health and increase our happiness, I hope all of us can build a happy and healthy life full of good habits.

Emily finished playing the music, and then bowed to the animal toys on her bed. “There, three times in a row with no mistakes,” she said, “I just hope I can play it that well at the concert.” In just an hour she would be playing her first solo, and the thought was giving her butterflies.

“You’re lucky you don’t have to play by yourself in front of everybody,” she said, smoothing Lea the Tiger’s fur, and gazed down at the smiling face of Zoey the Zebra. Emily scolded, “You’re a big help. How can you be so happy at a time like this?”

She looked around the room at the bear, lion, monkey, and other animal toys that lined her bed and shelves. “I wish you could all come with me,” she sighed. She gave them one last glance and went to join her parents in the car.

“Do I have to play in the concert?” asked Emily as she climbed into the back seat. “Is my favorite first-grader getting nervous?” her dad asked, smiling. Emily didn’t answer. She was trying to picture what it would be like to play in front of all those people. “You’ll do fine, honey.” He added. “The first time is always the hardest.”

When they arrived at the concert hall, Emily handed her violin to her teacher, Mrs Allen, for tuning and tiptoed over to where the curtains parted. Looking out, she could see that all the seats were filled, with many more people standing in back.

Nervously she took her violin and sat with the other students onstage. She held her breath as the curtains started to open and Mrs Allen picked up the microphone to begin the program. One by one the students played their pieces. Finally, Emily heard her name announced. Her heart pounded as she walked toward the front of the stage.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

She put her violin under her chin, but she couldn’t remember even her first note.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As she played, the “animals” audience seemed to be changing back into people.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】One possible version:

She put her violin under her chin, but she couldn’t remember even her first note. With a flush of sadness, she couldn’t hold back her tears welling up in her eyes. She shut her eyes, hoping to blink the tears away. When she opened them again, everything seemed misty. To her surprise, it looked as if all the people in the hall had changed into her doll animals, and she even saw her smiling Zoey the Zebra standing at the back. It was almost like being at home with her lovely friends. More relaxed, she picked up her confidence and remembered her piece.

As she played, the “animals” audience seemed to be changing back into people. But Emily was no longer nervous because all the audience looked friendly now. She also found her parents’ smiling eyes focused on her, telling her “you’re always the best”. The audience lost themselves in her music. Finally, she played the last note, put her violin under her arm and took a big bow. The music lingered in the air after the performance, while the entire audience broke into loud applause. She made it! She had played her first solo!
