Armed with bowls and spoons, the youngsters at Berridale Public School headed into the school's kitchen to bake biscuits. These treats were for endangered mountain pygmy possums(山袋貂). This small-sized animal lives only in the Australian regions of Victoria and New South Wales, and being active at night, is rarely seen in the wild, Up until the 1960s, when a small population of the possum was found in Victoria, the species was thought to be extinct.
Pygmy possums live on a diet of bogong moths (布冈夜蛾) and seeds. Yet in recent years, the once vast number of bogong moths that migrate each spring to the Snowy Mountains has severely fallen. Dr Linda Broome heads a team that has been tracking the region's community of mountain pygmy possums for more than 30 years. “An estimated 330adults were counted in the Cabramurra region in 2016, with 200 counted in 2018-19,” says Broome. The animals are also affected by extreme weather.
That's when Broome started baking “bogong” biscuits, using a specially developed recipe that replicates (仿制) the nutritional value of the moths. But with vast quantities of the nutritional biscuits needed weekly to feed all the hungry mouths, she needed help.
The children at Berridale Public School wanted to know how they could help the region recover. The school, under the leadership of current principal Tracey Southam, contacted Broome. The kids were more than happy to put down their pencils and pick up spoons instead. It wasn't long before all the primary school students across the Snowy Mountains region were busy baking the treats. Each bake-off took around 4.5 hours to produce sixty 200-gram bags of biscuits. Altogether, this resulted in an impressive 660 bags of bogong biscuits.
“While it is difficult to estimate the number of babies that have survived with the help of the biscuits, a field count in March resulted in 32 babies, which is a number similar to good seasons,” Broome says. Although the figures are still small, the results are pleasing and everyone is hopeful that their numbers can recover.
24. What is a feature of mountain pygmy possums?
A. They are globally distributed.
B. They like to hang out after dark.
C. They prefer biscuits to bogong moths.
D. They are frequent visitors to Australian kitchens.
25. What does the author want to show by mentioning the numbers in paragraph 2?
A. The disastrous effect of climate change.
B. The worrying condition of pygmy possums.
C. The disappointing recovery of bogong moths.
D. The changing habitat requirement of pygmy possums.
26. What can be learnt about Berridale Public School's students?
A. They were environmentally aware.
B. They led the feeding programme.
C. They dragged their feet over baking biscuits.
D. They created the unique recipe for pygmy possums.
27. How might Broome feel about the biscuit drive?
A. Doubtful. B. Tolerant. C. Optimistic. D. Confused
C
Most paper receipts (收据) are not recyclable, This is because they're printed on thermal paper (热敏纸), which contains a chemical called BPA or BPS that cannot be easily removed from the paper during the recycling process. To avoid polluting other paper products in the recycling stream, the safest method is to throw receipts in the trash.
There are two kinds of paper receipts. One is the old-fashioned paper that's printed with pale ink. The other is the shiny, soft thermal paper that comes out of newer cash registers. Scratch (划) the paper, and you'll see a dark line appear if it contains BPA or BPS. Ordinary paper receipts are rarely seen these days, but they can be recycled if you happen to get some. Thermal paper is now ubiquitous and found in most retail locations, but it cannot be recycled because of the chemicals that are used to create it.
Thermal paper uses heat from a printer head to make letters and numbers appear; no ink is used. This process requires the addition of BPA or BPS in their “free form”, which means that the chemicals are not bound to the paper. According to Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families, “The chemicals can easily transfer (转移) to anything a receipt touches-your hand, or the groceries in your shopping bag.
BPA or BPS can affect brain development, and heart and lung health. They can be transferred from fingers to the mouth via food, or absorbed directly through the skin when held. If thermal paper were to be recycled, it would pollute other products in the recycling stream with BPA or BPS. Burning and composting (使成堆肥) are not a choice either, as they would release BPA or BPS into the atmosphere or soil.
The only safe place to throw thermal paper receipts is in the trash, followed by immediate hand washing. It's not ideal, but it is the most effective way to separate BPA or BPS from the environment. The best solution is to ask for receipts to be emailed, rather than printed. Always refuse before you reduce, reuse and recycle.
28. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Unwanted. B. Informal. C. Effective. D. Common.
29. What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A. How BPA or BPS is removed.
B. How a printer works without ink
C. How thermal paper receipts form.
D. How BPA and BPS coexist with thermal paper.
30. How might the harm brought by thermal paper receipts be reduced to the smallest degree?
A. By exposing them to the sun.
B. By burning them in the open air.
C. By putting them in the shopping bag.
D. By throwing them into the dustbin in time.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. The development of receipts.
B. Is it possible to get rid of paper receipts?
C. The right way to handle paper receipts.
D. Do all paper receipts contain BPA or BPS?
D
At its core, social media is about advertising, but not just in terms of the products. Users are advertising themselves, making themselves look special and happy, no matter how many filters (滤镜) it takes. This can actually be damaging, especially to younger people. Because they traditionally look to their peers (同龄人) to help them determine what's normal and who they should desire to be, and they particularly fear the social exclusion that comes from not fitting in with their peer group's expectations.
With social media, their peers appear light years ahead in terms of wealth, beauty, and access to the kind of overall resources most of us can only dream of. The problem is that most of them achieved their fabulousness (难以置信的美好) through pure luck.
That's why the core of our advice, for both adults and kids, begins with learning to accept what you can and can't control, especially during those times when making things better isn't really possible. And the one thing you can control when life sucks (令人不愉快) is knowing your standards for being a good person and living up to those standards regardless of how you feel or look or what other people think.
Being a good person isn't about being perfect or ultra-unselfish; you don't need to work in a soup kitchen or donate a kidney () in order to qualify. In part, that's because helping others must always come second to doing the smaller things required every day to take care of your own responsibilities and live up to your own values.
After explaining these ideas to their kids, parents can ask them to think about what they can and can't control given how often life is just plain unfair. They can also ask their kids to think about the qualities they admire in people they believe to be good. This way, parents aren't lecturing their kids about the importance of real values but encouraging them to make up their own minds about the values they find important, After all, people of any age are much more likely to make smart decisions if they're asked to think through issues carefully and determine the right thing on their own, rather than being pushed in that direction.
32. Why are kids more likely to be harmed by social media according to paragraph 1?
A. They lack self-discipline.
B. They cannot distinguish good from bad.
C. They often have unhealthy online habits.
D. They tend to compare themselves with their peers.
33. What is the first step toward reducing the harm caused by social media?
A. Accepting reality.
B. Finding a role model.
C. Ignoring others' opinions.
D. Having an optimistic attitude toward life.
34. What is the purpose of paragraph 4?
A. To suggest how we can be a good person.
B. To state that helping others makes us perfect.
C. To explain the importance of living up to our values.
D. To clear up possible misunderstandings about being a good person.
35. What is the key message of the last paragraph?
A. Parents should have regular communication with their kids.
B. Parents should motivate their kids' inner drive.
C. Children should be taught about real values.
D. Children should make clever decisions.

How to disconnect from your phone
Do you know that needy black rectangle (长方形) you carry around everywhere you go! You're probably too attached to it, Although it's not formally recognized as an addiction-yet-smartphone overuse affects many aspects of your life. You don't have to give up your device. Small changes can make a big difference. 36
Make a list.

More than seventeen years have passed, I still write out my daily blessings.

When I was twelve, my parents let me babysit for Mr. and Mrs. Joseph who lived down the street with their two little preschool girls. Most of my babysitting occurred during daylight hours while Mrs. Joseph went shopping. One day she asked if I could stay with her daughters in the evening, promising she and her husband would be home by ten p. m. After pleaded with (恳求) them, desperate to earn fifty cents an hour for six hours—three whole dollars!—my parents agreed.
At four o'clock, I knocked on the Josephs' front door, greeted the kids, and received detailed instructions from their mother. A few minutes later, the girls and I were alone. We played hide-and-seek, did some finger painting together, and I fixed them scrambled eggs (炒鸡蛋) and toast soldiers for dinner. Then, at about eight p, m. , I gathered the two kids beside me on the sofa and began to read them a story.
I heard a soft click, as if the front door had been opened, and I stopped. “Go on,” said Melanie, the four-year-old. “Keep reading.” “Wait. ” I put my finger to my lips, “I thought I heard someone come in.” I heard the click again, and the lamp beside me switched on. All three of us jumped. Then the drapes (帘子) closed across the big window.
I screamed, put a little girl under each of my arms, and ran upstairs to the bathroom. As I locked the door behind us, I heard music begin to play from a radio somewhere downstairs. The girls clutched (紧紧抱住) each other in fear as I calmed them down, saying, “There's a bad man in the house. You have to be perfectly quiet. ”
The three of us sat on the floor, ears pressed to the wooden door ... listening. Even two-year-old Tricia was very quiet. For two hours we listened to the music playing, but we never heard another sound. No footsteps, no creaking (嘎吱作响的) doors, or breaking of china. Definitely no one walking up the stairs.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Then the front door opened with a bang and we all jumped.



Mr. Joseph explained he had bought a smart home device.

One possible version:
Dear Eric,
Knowing that you can't decide between Chinese calligraphy and Chinese painting, I'm writing to give you my recommendation for which course to choose.
I highly recommend Chinese calligraphy, because it cultivates one's character, and carries so much of China's profound history. The course, which combines theory and practice, is given by Mr. Li, a distinguished master. Actually I took the course last term and was impressed with his clear explanations and demonstrations. The course also includes workshops for calligraphy lovers to practice and communicate. Therefore, don't hesitate; seize the opportunity.
You're sure to have a rewarding voyage!
Yours,
Li Hua

Where are you?” Melanie and Tricia and I burst out of the bathroom and ran downstairs. The girls threw themselves against their astonished parents' legs, talking about “bad men in the house. ” In the middle of my explanation, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph exchanged a look and began laughing.
Mr. Joseph explained he had bought a smart home device. It could close the electric drapes and turn on a light and a radio at sunset on nights when they went out. “I guess I just switched it on automatically when we left tonight. In all honesty, I don't even remember doing it," he explained Mr. Joseph walked me to my house. He apologized and handed me not just three dollars, but five. “Good night,” I said as he turned to walk home, “and thanks.” Now I was so happy. I not only made more money, but experienced a smart home in person.

本文是说明文。热敏纸票据在生活中随处可见。如若处理不当，将会对健康和环境造成危害。
28.D。词义猜测题。画线词所在句与上一句 Ordinary paper receipts are rarely seen these days，but they can be recycled if you happen to get some形成对照,再结合下文中的 found in most retail locations 可知,如今,热敏纸随处可见,故划线词词义与 D项最接近。
29.C。段落大意题。根据第三段中的 Thermal paper uses heat from ... not bound to the paper可知，本段主要介绍了热敏纸票据是如何形成的
30.D。推理判断题。根据第一段中的 To avoid polluting other paper products in the recycling stream, the safest method is to throw receipts in the trash 以及最后一段中的 The only safe place to throw thermal paper receipts is in the trash, followed by immediate handwashing 可推知，想要最大限度地降低热敏纸给环境和健康带来的影响,最安全的做法就是把其及时丢进垃圾桶里。
31.C。标题归纳题。纵观全文可知,本文主要围绕如何处理热敏纸票据展开,文章第一、二段说明了热敏纸票据不宜回收,第三段说明了热敏纸票据的形成过程以及 BPA 或 BPS 的易转移性,第四段说明了热敏纸票据中所含的 BPA 或 BPS 对人体和环境的危害,最后一段作者就如何处理热敏纸票据以及如何确保票据环保给出了建议。故 C 项作为本文的标题最合适。

34.D。推断。在第四段中,作者主要澄清了人们可能对如何做一个好人的误解——好人不是完美的人或者完全无私奉献的人,在某种程度上,这是因为帮助他人必须始终排在完成自己分内的事情之后。
35.B。推断。根据最后一段中的 parents can ask them to think about ... They can also ask their kids to think about ... This way, parents aren't lecturing their kids ... but encouraging them to make up their own minds about the values they find important 可知, 最后主要讲了父母如何引导孩子通过自己思考来确认什么是正确的价值观, 从而主动做出正确的决定。最后一句是点睛之笔——不论什么年龄的人,更愿意在自已想清楚之后做决定，而不是被人推着走。因此,在最后一段中,作者主要强调了父母应该激发孩子的内驱力。

主题语境:人与自我——做人与做事
本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了减少手机使用的几点建议。

37.G。设空处位于段首，一般为概括性较强的主题句。根据小标题和本段内容可知,本段的建议是在你拿起手机之前先列出待办事项,G 项符合语境。G 项中的 make a list 与小标题Make a list构成原词复现,G项中的 pick up your phone 与设空处后面的 pick it up 呼应38.A。设空外为小标题,起总结全段主旨的作用。本段提出的建议是:不要使用面部识别等便捷功能,建议手动输入密码。A 项概括了本段主旨,适合作小标题。A 项中的 unlock 与下文中的 accessing your phone 呼应,A项中的 annoying 与下文中的 manually 呼应。
39.E。设空处与上一句构成递进关系。上一句提出建议:把所有社交媒体应用拖到一个不在主屏幕上显示的文件夹中。下一句说明了这就可以大大减少你使用社交媒体应用的时间。E项符合语境,与下文的语义完全契合。设空处下一中的 This 指代 E项中的内容。E项中的 them 指代上文提及的 social media apps。
40.F。设空处与上一句构成因果关系。上一句指出大多数的手机使用都是无意识的,下一句说明了睡觉时把手机放在另一个房间里是一个特别有用的方法。F项符合本段语义。F项中的 barriers 与小标题中的 out of reach 呼应。
