The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program is a national program of volunteers trained in disaster preparedness and emergency response. Through Teen CERT, you can serve your community and help take care of your school and home.

Why Join

Would you know what to do if an emergency comes? After a disaster, professional responders will be needed everywhere. During an emergency, who could help until professional responders arrive? Who could be the first person on-scene to step up? The answer: You.

In most emergencies, a bystander or even the victim, provides the first immediate assistance. Join Teen CEKT, and you will learn how to respond when others look to you for help.

What You’ll Do

We all have a role to play in keeping our communities safe. What role will you play? Once you complete your CERT training, you can participate in or lead a variety of activities.

During an emergency, your Teen CERT could organize volunteers, give assistance to survivors, provide damage assessment information, pro\ide shelter support and assist with crowd control.

Teen CERTs can also help in their schools year-round. Your Teen CERT could participate in disaster drills and exercises, present fire safety education, assist in preparedness outreach, provide peer mentoring and address safety issues in the school.

What You’ll Learn

It takes about 20 hours to complete the CERT training. During the training, you will learn to put out small fires, conduct light search and rescue, assist those who are injured, set up medical treatment areas，assist emergency responders, identify possible dangers and help reduce survivors, stress.

You can also take the Introduction to CERT training. This independent study web-based training is interactive and will introduce you to CERT skills before you take the classroom training.

Years earlier, I’d been a trainee in a lab, which stuck to a traditional format. The lab head would spend much time asking the presenter a series of pointed questions. Presenters would need to know extremely small details about articles they were citing and present their research using picture-perfect analyses and graphs. So the presentation was an untoward thing to almost anyone.

When I started my own lab, I decided to change the routine by being friendly and welcoming while asking my trainees challenging questions about their science. But for 6 years, I felt I hadn’t created the lab environment I wanted.

The turning point came during the pandemic. It hit home to me that one’s life isn’t endless and that I need to make the most of the time I have. I decided that I wanted to become a better professor—to make a mark by training the next generation of scientists.

In my personal life, I had benefited from listening to talks by motivational speakers. So I decided to start there. At the next lab meeting, I showed my students a video about happiness, hoping it would help them in their personal life and give us something light to discuss. I wasn’t sure how they’d respond, hut I was pleased to discover that they were interested in discussing the advice in the video afterward. In the end, I asked them whether they’d like to do similar activities in future meetings, and they said yes.

From then on, I began every lab meeting with a 20-minute team building session. My lab members and I do many activities—including analyzing and appreciating poetry. These sessions have eased tensions and opened minds, helping foster more participation later in the meeting.

So far, I have been hopeful about the lab environment we’re creating. My greatest wish is to see my trainees become their best selves, understand who they are and what they want as well as reach their career goals. I am proud of the change and the difference I’ve made.

4．What does the underlined word “untoward” in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．Harmonious. B．Embarrassing. C．Stressful. D．Appealing.

5．How did the pandemic affect the author?

A．He no longer wasted his time. B．He decided to become a professor.

C．He realized the benefit of inspiring talks. D．He wanted to make more contributions.

6．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A．The change the author made. B．A video the students liked.

C．The benefit the author got from others. D．A proposal the students put forward.

7．What message does the author mainly want to deliver?

A．Team building sessions can bring unexpected benefits.

B．One should have the courage to make a change.

C．Professors are responsible for teamwork.

D．Motivational talks are the origin of inspiration.

Kids everywhere love to play. And they know that a ball is a perfect thing to play with. Now scientists report bumblebees(大黄蜂)seem to know the same thing, making bumblebees the first insects known to play.

Lots of animals play. But the behavior is best known in mammals(哺乳动物)and birds. For many animals, playing is often seen as a kind of training for things they’ll have to deal with in later life.  But before this, there were no reports of insects playing.

Dr. Lars Chittka did an earlier experiment, where he trained bumblebees to roll balls into a goal for food. He noticed some bees were rolling balls even when they weren’t rewarded. He wondered if they were playing.

To test the idea，he with other scientists set up a new experiment. First, they marked 45 young bumblebees, both male and female, between one and 23 days old. Then they set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees’ nest to a feeding area. On either side of the open pathway, small colored wooden balls were placed. On one side of the path，the balls couldn’t move. On the other side, the balls could roll around.

For three hours a day over 14 days, the scientists opened the pathway. The bumblebees never had to leave the pathway to find food, but they left anyway. They weren’t so interested in the side where the balls couldn’t move, but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls.

Grabbing the balls with their legs, the bumblebees would beat their wings to pull on the balls, causing them to roll. The 45 marked bumblebees did this 910 times during the experiment. Though some only did it once, others did it a lot. The scientists found the younger bumblebees spent more time rolling balls, and that males seemed more likely to play than females.

The scientists say it’s not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it. But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects’ minds work and whether they have feelings.

8．What does the underlined word  in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．The discovery that playing is training.

B．The experiment about mammals’ living habits.

C．The report that bumblebees play for fun.

D．The comparison between insects and birds.

9．What did Dr. Lars Chittka and other scientists do in the new experiment?

A．They trained bumblebees to play balls.

B．They put small balls on both sides of the pathway.

C．They set up a feeding area in bumblebees’ nest.

D．They rewarded the bumblebees that rolled balls.

10．What can we learn from the experiment?

A．Male bumblebees lend to play balls more often.

B．Colorful balls are bumblebees’ favourite toys.

C．Younger bumblebees are better at rolling balls.

D．Bumblebees show interest in anything round.

11．What can be the best title for the text?

A．Bumblebees Arc Just Like Kids B．Balls Are a Perfect Thing to Play with

C．Playing Is Animals’ Second Nature D．Bumblebees Are First Insect Known to Play

No one in the US has 3D-printed a two-story house before. But now three companies are working together to print the first large, two-story house in the US.

The house, which is in Houston, Texas, was designed by a company. Another company provided the 3D printer. And a construction company is doing the actual building. Leslie Lok. who designed the house, says there are special challenges involved in printing the two-story house. One of the biggest is the size of the machine needed for the building. The 3D printer in Houston is massive. It weighs over 12 tons.

Ms. Lok says printing the house will take the massive machine about 330 hours. That’s about eight normal work weeks. But the team isn’t in a rush. Though it’s a two-year project, the actual printing didn’t start until last July. The house is now about halfway finished.

“We are not trying to beat the clock,” says Hikmat Zerbe, who works for the construction company. Instead, they’re using the house as a “big laboratory” to learn more about 3D-printing houses. They want to see how the concrete reacts “under different weather conditions”.

They also want to figure out how to make 3D-printing faster and cheaper. Mr. Zerbe says that currently, 3D-printing a house with concrete costs more than building a house with wood. That’s partly because the technology is new. With time, Mr. Zerbe expects the costs of 3D-printed houses to go down. He thinks printers will improve and make it easier to create more houses quickly. 3D-printed concrete houses are stronger and hold up better in serious storms than house built with wood. This can save money in the long run. Since the machine is doing the building, fewer workers are needed, which also saves money.

Besides, with 3D-printing, it’s easy to make each house different from other houses. These kinds of changes can apply to almost any tiling. Hikmat Zerbe says that means in the future, each house could be created specially for its owner.

12．What is a big problem in printing the two-story house?

A．The limited time. B．The lack of skilled workers.

C．The need for huge 3D printers. D．The shortage of building materials.

13．What is to be studied in the building process?

A．How the printed houses stand wear and tear.

B．How 3D-printed houses are made stronger.

C．How workers can print large houses quicker.

D．How concrete changes with the shift of weather.

14．What is a disadvantage of the 3D-printed house at present?

A．Its cost is higher. B．It can’t survive the storm.

C．It uses special concrete. D．It needs experienced workers.

15．How does Mr. Zerbe feel about the future of 3 D-printing?

A．Negative. B．Unclear. C．Worried. D．Hopeful.

How to Teach Teenagers About Money

Teaching teens about money—how to earn it and save it—is part of being a good dad or mom. You don’t have to be a finance professor to teach them how to save money.____16____ Remember that more is seen than taught. You’ll want to show them how to earn money, create a budget and save it.

By now, they’ve probably earned some money. And they have outgrown that piggy bank they got for their first birthday. Then it’s time for a real bank account. You probably don’t want to connect it to your own. But you will want to be the signer on the account so you can see their spending behavior.

☆Saving money

Teenagers should learn to save money.____19____But if you want your teenager to grow up into an independent, responsible human, you’ll have to show them how.

47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Let me tell you a story. It is about Susannah Lung. She taught me to read and write for a single year when I was 7 years old. I’d been looking for Susannah, hoping to thank her in person, for almost twenty years.

I came to the US at one and a half years old, but I grew up in a household that only spoke Pashto &Farsi, so when I started kindergarten, I didn’t know a word of English. I don’t think my kindergarten teacher knew how to handle an ESL student because he used to punish me for not understanding his directions.

We moved a lot in those days as my father searched for better work and housing, and I went to three different schools in a year. I continued to struggle with English. Then, after first grade ended, my family went back to Afghanistan for the summer. I fell in love with Logar, but I completely forgot all the English I’d learned in school!

I remember on the morning of my first day in second grade, I could only recall 10 letters from the alphabet. I was way behind and on track to be left back. But then I had the fortune of meeting Mrs. Lung.

Mrs. Lung sat with me almost every single day after school, giving me extra lessons in reading and writing so I could catch up with the rest of the class. By the end of the year, I’d learned to read and write, and by third grade, I was winning awards for reading comprehension.

After that, my family moved a few times more and I lost track of Mrs. Lung. For years afterward, all throughout high school and college, I tried to find Mrs. Lung to thank her for everything she’d done for me. I searched google and social media. I called my old school and visited the district office. But I kept hitting dead ends.

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。

But a few years earlier, someone reached out to me on Facebook.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Because of Mrs. Lung’s encouragement, I became a teacher two years ago.

47．One possible version：

But a few years earlier, someone reached out to me on Facebook. It was Mrs. Lung’s husband! He asked me if I wanted to speak with her, and I said of course! My family and I all gathered together for the call. My parents had been wanting to thank Mrs. Lung for years as well. When I finally got the chance to hear Mrs. Lung’s voice, tears welled up in my eyes. I told her that I owed everything I’d accomplished to her, that I thought of her all the time, and that I’d been searching for her for years.

Because of Mrs. Lung’s encouragement, I became a teacher two years ago. During the two years of my teaching, I have witnessed the big changes of several struggling students after giving them patience, time and encouragement. I know a child is like a rocket filled with fuel and that all they need is a single spark to lift off into the sky. For me, Mrs. Lung was the spark. She gave me time, understanding and encouragement. I received her care and I’m passing it on.
