Delivery wrkers will finally be able t charge their electric bicycles — and themselves — at new statins created ut f repurpsed news stands in New Yrk City, Senatr (参议员) Chuck Schumer annunced n Mnday.
The repurpsed news stands, the first f their kind in the natin, will feature charging statins safe fr e-bike batteries, bike parking, and a place fr delivery wrkers t rest r ride ut bad weather.
“Yu’ve been riding this bike a lng time. Yu need a break. Maybe yu’ve gt t make a phne call.

Very simple.”
And the statins, which will be designed by Manuel Mansylla, will nt cntain bathrms — which were nce a flashpint (焦点) fr delivery wrkers wh were banned frm using the restrms at sme f the very restaurants frm which they were delivering fd.
But thanks t new city laws that went int effect at the start f this year, including requiring restaurants t allw delivery wrkers t use their restrms, that’s thankfully nt the main cncern anymre, said Gustav Ajche, a delivery wrker. “The bathrm is different. There’s n prblem with that any mre what we need here is mre parking spaces,” he said.
Nt everyne lves the idea f news stands being repurpsed fr e-bike charging statins. “After car chargers n the sidewalk, this is anther facility f the city taking pedestrian (行人) space t create charging statins,” said Christine Berthet f CHEKPEDS, the pedestrian advcacy grup that has lng called fr the creatin f mre public space fr pedestrians.
4. What service can delivery wrkers expect frm the repurpsed news stands?
A. Charging their phnes.B. Selling them e-bike batteries.
C. Repairing their bikes.D. Offering them shelter.
5. What d Schumer’s wrds in paragraph 3 highlight abut the repurpsed news stands?

C. They are simple t cnstruct.D. They are gaining ppularity.
6. Hw d the new city laws issued this year affect delivery wrkers?

Every year, thusands f K-12 students visit the University f Gergia (UGA) thrugh the Experience UGA prgram. Hsting these students is made pssible by the Experience UGA ambassadrs (大使), a team f UGA students trained t supprt the prgram. They help create and supprt the field trips and intrduce schl children t cllege with interactive and educatinal visits that are grade-level specific. Fr example, every secnd grade grup turs the Ramsey Student Center t learn abut health-related tpics, and all seventh graders explre UGArden t learn abut nutritin and agriculture.
“Each year I realize the impact I’m making n students,” said Leslie Oryemi, wh is beginning her third year as an Experience UGA ambassadr. “I lve reaching yunger ppulatins and engaging with them. It’s nice t see them grw and discver different interests.”
This was the first year that Oryemi has been an ambassadr fr secnd grade trips, and she said it has becme her favrite. Her favrite part f the day is teaching secnd graders hw easily germs (病菌) spread thrugh a game f tag (捉人游戏) — thse with “germs” have chalk n their hands and g arund trying t tuch and “infect” thers. The kids then learn hw imprtant hand washing is t prevent the spread f germs.
Camille Hlcmb is beginning her secnd year as an ambassadr. She said wrking with different ages means cnnecting with them differently. The secnd graders are excited abut everything, while the seventh graders are mre reserved (保守的). Hlcmb learned that cnnecting with the lder students wrks best in between the activities — being persnable and asking questins while walking arund campus. Hlcmb als learned that sme friendly cmpetitin helps engage the mre reserved students.
“Each ambassadr is very fervent abut giving back t the cmmunity and hlds a special skill that cntributes t creating a wnderful experience fr students during each grade level trip,” said Aiyana Egins, crdinatr f Experience UGA. “I lk frward t seeing the impact they will have n students this year.”
8. What d the ambassadrs d fr K-12 students?
A. Cnvince them t jin the UGA prgram.B. Organize educatinal visits fr them.
C. Shw them arund famus clleges.D. Encurage them t apply t UGA.
9. What impressed Oryemi mst as an ambassadr fr secnd graders?
A. The kids’ interest in health-related tpics.B. The wide variety f field trips.
C. The kids’ rich knwledge abut germs.D. The interactive game f tag.
10. What des Hlcmb emphasize abut her wrk?
A. N pains, n gains.B. Every little helps.
C. Different methds matter.D. Easier said than dne.
11. What des the underlined wrd “fervent” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Enthusiastic.B. Sensitive.C. Curius.D. Cncerned.

The cttn harvest is abut t get underway in the Texas High Plains, the windswept regin that grws mst f the crp in the natin’s tp cttn-prducing state. But Barry Evans, a third-generatin cttn grwer, has already walked away frm mre than 2,000 acres (英亩) f his bne-dry fields. “It just didn’t cme up. We hardly had anything,” said Evans.
Extreme heat and a lack f rainfall have severely damaged much f this year’s cttn harvest in the U.S., which prduces abut 35% f the wrld’s crp. The U.S. Department f Agriculture (USDA) frecast that mre than 40% f what U.S. farmers planted in the spring wuld be abandned because f drught. Nwhere is this mre apparent than the flat, dry stretch f Texas. The USDA says Texas cttn farmers are likely t abandn nearly 70% f their spring planting. That has been the wrst harvest since 2009.
The regin nrmally receives arund 18 t 20 inches f rain per year, but saw less than three inches f rain frm August thrugh the summer, as nearly all f Texas baked under drught. Much f the cttn grwn in the regin needs rain. Even thse with irrigated (灌溉的) fields are expecting lw yields (产量) this year.
The lsses in cttn culd cst the Texas High Plains $1.2 billin after farmers receive federal (联邦的) crp insurance payments, estimates Darren Hudsn, directr f the Internatinal Center fr Agricultural Cmpetitiveness at Texas Tech University. That leaves ut thers wh depend n the crp, such as cttn gins (轧棉机) and strehuses. “Any time yu have a bad year in cttn, it has a rle t play in the verall ecnmy,” Hudsn said.
Frtunately, mst cttn farmers in this part f Texas plan t use cttn seed varieties that can resist drught. Varieties are cntinuusly develped and will be adjusted t generate high yields if dry cnditins cntinue. “Even thugh it’s drught resistant,” Hudsn added, “we still have t have a little bit f help frm Mther Nature.”
12. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. The impact f extreme weather n U.S. farmers.
B. The wrld’s cttn distributin.
C. USDA’s measures t address drught.
D. The amunt f U.S. cttn harvest in 2009.
13. What des Hudsn stress in paragraph 4?
A. Texas is unfriendly t cttn farmers.B. Cttn is vital t the American ecnmy.
C. Farmers depend much n Mther Nature.D. Cttn gins are unaffected by cttn lsses.
14. What will cttn farmers mst likely d next?
A. Build effective irrigatin systems.B. Apply fr federal crp insurance.
C. Switch t grwing a different crp.D. Use further imprved cttn seeds.
15. What can be the best title fr the text?
A. Drught pushes cttn prices t a new high.B. The wrld’s cttn supply keeps falling.
C. Texas cttn takes a hit during drught.D. Drught impacts the quality f cttn.

Delivery wrkers will finally be able t charge their electric bicycles — and themselves — at new statins created ut f repurpsed news stands in New Yrk City, Senatr (参议员) Chuck Schumer annunced n Mnday.
The repurpsed news stands, the first f their kind in the natin, will feature charging statins safe fr e-bike batteries, bike parking, and a place fr delivery wrkers t rest r ride ut bad weather.
“Yu’ve been riding this bike a lng time. Yu need a break. Maybe yu’ve gt t make a phne call.

Very simple.”
And the statins, which will be designed by Manuel Mansylla, will nt cntain bathrms — which were nce a flashpint (焦点) fr delivery wrkers wh were banned frm using the restrms at sme f the very restaurants frm which they were delivering fd.
But thanks t new city laws that went int effect at the start f this year, including requiring restaurants t allw delivery wrkers t use their restrms, that’s thankfully nt the main cncern anymre, said Gustav Ajche, a delivery wrker. “The bathrm is different. There’s n prblem with that any mre what we need here is mre parking spaces,” he said.
Nt everyne lves the idea f news stands being repurpsed fr e-bike charging statins. “After car chargers n the sidewalk, this is anther facility f the city taking pedestrian (行人) space t create charging statins,” said Christine Berthet f CHEKPEDS, the pedestrian advcacy grup that has lng called fr the creatin f mre public space fr pedestrians.
4. What service can delivery wrkers expect frm the repurpsed news stands?

Every year, thusands f K-12 students visit the University f Gergia (UGA) thrugh the Experience UGA prgram. Hsting these students is made pssible by the Experience UGA ambassadrs (大使), a team f UGA students trained t supprt the prgram. They help create and supprt the field trips and intrduce schl children t cllege with interactive and educatinal visits that are grade-level specific. Fr example, every secnd grade grup turs the Ramsey Student Center t learn abut health-related tpics, and all seventh graders explre UGArden t learn abut nutritin and agriculture.
“Each year I realize the impact I’m making n students,” said Leslie Oryemi, wh is beginning her third year as an Experience UGA ambassadr. “I lve reaching yunger ppulatins and engaging with them. It’s nice t see them grw and discver different interests.”
This was the first year that Oryemi has been an ambassadr fr secnd grade trips, and she said it has becme her favrite. Her favrite part f the day is teaching secnd graders hw easily germs (病菌) spread thrugh a game f tag (捉人游戏) — thse with “germs” have chalk n their hands and g arund trying t tuch and “infect” thers. The kids then learn hw imprtant hand washing is t prevent the spread f germs.
Camille Hlcmb is beginning her secnd year as an ambassadr. She said wrking with different ages means cnnecting with them differently. The secnd graders are excited abut everything, while the seventh graders are mre reserved (保守的). Hlcmb learned that cnnecting with the lder students wrks best in between the activities — being persnable and asking questins while walking arund campus. Hlcmb als learned that sme friendly cmpetitin helps engage the mre reserved students.
“Each ambassadr is very fervent abut giving back t the cmmunity and hlds a special skill that cntributes t creating a wnderful experience fr students during each grade level trip,” said Aiyana Egins, crdinatr f Experience UGA. “I lk frward t seeing the impact they will have n students this year.”
8. What d the ambassadrs d fr K-12 students?
A. Cnvince them t jin the UGA prgram.B. Organize educatinal visits fr them.
C. Shw them arund famus clleges.D. Encurage them t apply t UGA.
9. What impressed Oryemi mst as an ambassadr fr secnd graders?
A. The kids’ interest in health-related tpics.B. The wide variety f field trips.
C. The kids’ rich knwledge abut germs.D. The interactive game f tag.
10. What des Hlcmb emphasize abut her wrk?
A. N pains, n gains.B. Every little helps.
C. Different methds matter.D. Easier said than dne.
11. What des the underlined wrd “fervent” in the last paragraph mean?

The cttn harvest is abut t get underway in the Texas High Plains, the windswept regin that grws mst f the crp in the natin’s tp cttn-prducing state. But Barry Evans, a third-generatin cttn grwer, has already walked away frm mre than 2,000 acres (英亩) f his bne-dry fields. “It just didn’t cme up. We hardly had anything,” said Evans.
Extreme heat and a lack f rainfall have severely damaged much f this year’s cttn harvest in the U.S., which prduces abut 35% f the wrld’s crp. The U.S. Department f Agriculture (USDA) frecast that mre than 40% f what U.S. farmers planted in the spring wuld be abandned because f drught. Nwhere is this mre apparent than the flat, dry stretch f Texas. The USDA says Texas cttn farmers are likely t abandn nearly 70% f their spring planting. That has been the wrst harvest since 2009.
The regin nrmally receives arund 18 t 20 inches f rain per year, but saw less than three inches f rain frm August thrugh the summer, as nearly all f Texas baked under drught. Much f the cttn grwn in the regin needs rain. Even thse with irrigated (灌溉的) fields are expecting lw yields (产量) this year.
The lsses in cttn culd cst the Texas High Plains $1.2 billin after farmers receive federal (联邦的) crp insurance payments, estimates Darren Hudsn, directr f the Internatinal Center fr Agricultural Cmpetitiveness at Texas Tech University. That leaves ut thers wh depend n the crp, such as cttn gins (轧棉机) and strehuses. “Any time yu have a bad year in cttn, it has a rle t play in the verall ecnmy,” Hudsn said.
Frtunately, mst cttn farmers in this part f Texas plan t use cttn seed varieties that can resist drught. Varieties are cntinuusly develped and will be adjusted t generate high yields if dry cnditins cntinue. “Even thugh it’s drught resistant,” Hudsn added, “we still have t have a little bit f help frm Mther Nature.”
12. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. The impact f extreme weather n U.S. farmers.
B. The wrld’s cttn distributin.
C. USDA’s measures t address drught.
D. The amunt f U.S. cttn harvest in 2009.
13. What des Hudsn stress in paragraph 4?
A. Texas is unfriendly t cttn farmers.B. Cttn is vital t the American ecnmy.
C. Farmers depend much n Mther Nature.D. Cttn gins are unaffected by cttn lsses.
14. What will cttn farmers mst likely d next?
A. Build effective irrigatin systems.B. Apply fr federal crp insurance.
C. Switch t grwing a different crp.D. Use further imprved cttn seeds.
15. What can be the best title fr the text?
A. Drught pushes cttn prices t a new high.B. The wrld’s cttn supply keeps falling.
C. Texas cttn takes a hit during drught.D. Drught impacts the quality f cttn.
