Soon after, she entered “Apps for Good”, a competition that encourages students to create positive change through technology. Teaming up with her friend, Jordan Stirbu, she laid the foundations for “Jazzy Recycling”.The “Jazzy Recycling” application is designed to encourage young people to recycle more, which wins the favor of the youth. It turns waste disposal into a game and helps you find places to recycle. Then you scan what you need to recycle, share it, and get rewards such as shopping vouchers (代金券) and games to be unlocked for what you have recycled.Tapping into the teen enthusiasm for sharing every little aspect of their daily life on social media like Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, recycling efforts can be shared too as a fun game among friends, which makes more people take part in recycling activities.Zea explains why she is addicted to the Internet and how technology has changed her ideas about the future, “I used to think technology was just fixing computers and using smartphones; I have become very tired from just using what is available. I have discovered another side to it and that I can make technology of my own.”In fact, Zea Tongeman has taken the idea of recycling seriously and hopes all her fellow beings would give it a serious thought. This teen girl from the United Kingdom has made use of computer programming to create her own app that would encourage people to go recycling for a better world.4. What is “Little Miss Geek Day” intended to do?A. To inspire students to go recycling. B. To encourage students to create more.C. To introduce some famous young ladies. D. To get girls interested and involved in technology.5. How does the “Jazzy Recycling” appeal to the young?A. It combines recycling with fun. B. It offers money to those who recycle.C. It raises their awareness of waste disposal. D. It provides varieties of convenient services.6. Which of the following best describes Zea Tongeman?A. Considerate. B. Generous. C. Creative. D. Modest.7. What can we learn from Tongeman’s story?A. Teenagers have a talent for creating apps.B. Technology plays a significant role in education.C. Competitions inspire teenagers to achieve success.D. Youngsters can make a difference in their own ways.COn Tuesday, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a series of new high-producing crop varieties, including herbicide-tolerant (耐除草剂的) rice that can be directly planted into the soil, cutting the huge expenses on water and farm workers.In India, the world’s biggest rice exporter, the traditional method of rice growing requires farmers to grow seeds in nurseries, and then wait for 20 to 30 days before transplanting the small plants by hand into the fields that are ankle-deep in water.With the new seed varieties developed by the state-run Indian Agricultural Research Institute, farmers only need to water the field once to moisten (使湿润) the soil before planting the rice. Besides, the traditional method also uses a lot of water to control weeds as herbicides are costly and often do not distinguish between the rice and the unwanted weeds.Government scientists said the new rice varieties contained a gene that would allow farmers to spray a common, inexpensive herbicide without worrying about any side effects. “Our focus is very high on new seeds that can be adapted to new conditions, especially in changing climates,” Modi said.Water conservation is likely to be the main attraction of the new rice varieties in India, where farmers rely heavily on monsoon (季风) rains. The traditional method uses 3,000 to 5,000 liters of water to produce 1 kg rice. The new varieties could cut water use by at least 50% to 60%, farmers and government officials say. “For farmers like us, the main concern was the management of water, and the new varieties take care of that concern,” said Ravindra Kajal, who grows rice on his 9-acre farmland in the northern state of Haryana. India is also the world’s biggest rice producer after China.8. Which is the benefit of the new rice?A. It can produce herbicide. B. It can be planted in any field.C. It needs a lot of water to grow. D. It can save money for the farmers.9. Why can farmers apply a common herbicide to the new rice?A. The new rice contains herbicide itself.B. The herbicide is suitable for all rice varieties.C. Genes in the new rice can avoid harm from herbicide.D. The herbicide can distinguish the rice from the weeds.10. What plays an important role in rice-planting in India?A. Water. B. Temperature. C. Wind. D. Sunlight.11. What is the best title for the text?A. India Launches New Herbicides. B. India Cuts Expenses on Farming.C. India Promotes New Rice Varieties. D. Farmers Appeal for New Rice Varieties.DThere is something to be said for being a generalist, even if you are a specialist. Knowing a little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole, well-lived life.Society pushes us to specialize, to become experts. This requires commitment to a particular occupation, branch of study or research. The drawback to being specialists is we often come to know more and more about less and less. There is a great deal of pressure to master one’s field. You may pursue training, degrees, or increasing levels of responsibility at work. Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up.Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty. But such commitment can also weaken a sense of freedom. These specialists could work at the office until ten each night, then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends, or traveled to exciting places, meeting interesting people. Mastering one thing to the exclusion of others can hold back your true spirit.Generalists on the other hand, know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its connections. They are people of ability, talent, and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective into specific fields of expertise. The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor, one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills.Things are connected. Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas. Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but, once you explore their depths, you discover that they are. My editor Toni, who is also a writer, has edited several history books. She has decided to study Chinese history. Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy. “I don’t know where it will lead, but I’m excited I’m on this pursuit.”These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives. We begin to see the interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life, of ourselves and the universe. Develop broad, general knowledge and experience. The universe is all yours to explore and enjoy.12. To become a specialist, one may have to ______ .A. narrow his range of knowledge B. avoid responsibilities at workC. know more about the society D. broaden his perspective on life13. The specialists mentioned in Paragraph 3 tend to ______ .A. treasure their freedom B. travel around the worldC. spend most time working D. enjoy meeting funny people14. According to the author, a superior doctor is one who ______ .A. is fully aware of his talent and ability B. is a pure specialist in medicineC. should love poetry and philosophy D. brings knowledge of other fields to work15. What does the author intend to show with the example of Toni?A. Passion alone does not ensure a person’s success.B. In-depth exploration makes discoveries possible.C. Everyone has a chance to succeed in their pursuit.D. Seemingly unrelated interests are in a way connected.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。All parents have sky-high hopes for their children.
