    Earl Forlales, a graduate in Materials Science and Engineering, took inspiration from the bamboo hut his grandparents lived in outside Manila and created a house made of bamboo that can be put together in four hours to solve the chronic(长期的) shortage of affordable accommodation in the Philippines. His design won a £50.000 top prize from the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in its Cities for our Future competition.

His house, known as Cubo, could be produced in a week, constructed in four hours and costs £60 per square meter. Its use of bamboo—which releases 35％ more oxygen into the environment than trees—was praised by the judges. The ability of the houses to be constructed in any bamboo-producing area was one of the key attractions.

“The world’s cities are growing all the time and there is a real need to make sure they are safe, clean and comfortable places to live in,”John Hughes, the competition’s head judge and then president at RICS, said. “As we look at our competitors, who are our next generation of leaders， I believe that real progress will be made in tackling the world’s biggest issues.

Forlales has already identified a suitable area of land to start building his Cubo houses. He plans to begin the work next year with experts from the RICS in an attempt to help relieve the huge pressure on housing in Manila, where a third of the 12 million population live in poor districts. He said, “I would like to thank RICS for the opportunity, and look forward to working with them to put this money to good use in Manila and then hopefully elsewhere around the world.”

24．What contributes most to Forlales’ winning the prize？

A．The material of his house. B．The shape of his house.

C．The design of his house. D．The expense of his house.

25．Which word can best replace the underline word “tackling” in Paragraph 3?

A．Facing. B．Treating

C．Covering. D．Handling.

26．What can we infer about the Cubo house？

A．It is created by Forlales and his parents

B．It is environmentally friendly and economical.

C．It has already been built in Forlales’ hometown.

D．It can be constructed in a week.

27．Which of the following can be a suitable title？

A．A Competition in House Building B．A Man Devoted to City Development

C．The Bamboo House Winning a top Prize D．The Way to Solve Housing Shortage

C

    Say the phrase “female environmental pioneers,” and among the names you will hear are Rachel Carson, who wrote pesticides; chimpanzee expert Jane Goodall; and 17-year-old climate-change activist Greta Thunberg. To mark Women’s History Month, Kidspost is sharing the story of an environmental pioneer who is not that famous but equally remarkable.

At age 3, Sylvia Earle found her lifelong passion while playing on a beach. A wave suddenly came up and knocked her over.

“My mother ... saw the big smile on my face and let me run back in,” Earle told a TV interviewer years later. “And I’ve been running back in ever since.”

Earle is now 84 years old and has spent a lifetime exploring the world’s oceans and working to protect them from pollution, overfishing and other threats.

She is a pioneer in using scuba gear. Scuba gear lets divers take breath underwater. She holds the world record for the deepest untethered walk on the ocean floor at 1,250 feet. This means she was not tied to anything when she was walking underwater. During this exploration, she planted a U.S. flag.

In 1998, Time magazine gave Earle its first Heroes for the Planet award. She was the first female chief scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It is the U.S. ocean and atmosphere group. She was also elected to the National Women’s Hall of Fame.

Earle has spent her life teaching people about the ocean. She notes how much it affects the weather, and what we eat and drink. She has something to say to those who don’t understand why the ocean matters. “They should know that with every breath they take, every drop of water they drink, the ocean is touching them,” Earle says. “You should treat the ocean as if your life depends on it— because it does.”

28．What does Earle’s lifelong passion refer to?

A．Teaching people how to dive. B．Writing articles for magazines.

C．Exploring and protecting oceans. D．Providing equipment for divers.

29．What do we know about Earle from the text?

A．Earle is a world record holder.

B．Earle’s mother is in support of her work.

C．Earle is a remarkable British ocean explorer.

D．Earle is the only female chief scientist at NOAA．

30．Which of the following words can best describe Earle?

A．brave and conservative. B．devoted and courageous.

C．determined and rigid. D．ambitious and modest.

31．Which of the following statement will Earle agree with according to the text?

A．People should stop overfishing and eating seafood.

B．The ocean plays a significant role in human’s life.

C．The weather has a far-reaching effect on the ocean.

D．The exploration of the ocean can be done without limit.

D

    Creating art or engaging in artistic efforts has numerous benefits for young people — from fewer disciplinary infractions to better academic performance and increased likelihood of struggling for post-secondary education.

And yet students’ participation in arts classes varies by what school they attend. Higher-poverty schools in King County have lower enrollment in arts classes.

That’s one data point evident in a new dashboard released by the cultural funding agency 4Culture and the state superintendent’s office. It shows the percentage of high school students taking different kinds of arts classes in individual schools within King County’s 19 school districts. It’s intended to let anyone in the public research arts class participation and compare schools. For example, more than two-thirds of students at Bellevue’s International School took a music class compared with just 12 percent at Kent — Meridian High School in the Kent School District in the 2018-19 school year.

“We strongly believe the arts can make for a happier, healthier education in every single way,” said Charlie Rathbun, director of arts programs with 4Culture. “So we will be looking at outcomes around the dropout rate, discipline rate, graduation rate, things like that.”

Overall, the dashboard shows higher participation in visual arts and music classes than in theater or dance. “Dance, for example, being almost non-existent in our schools — we have to ask why and think about those students who might respond quite positively to dance,” Rathbun said.

Alternative schools and dropout re-engagement programs have very low participation in arts classes. Students across the state are required to take two arts courses to graduate.

32．What does the underlined word “infraction” in paragraph 1 most probably mean?

A．Obedience. B．Offence.

C．Sense. D．Authority.

33．Why will Charlie Rathbun be looking at the outcomes?

A．To know about students’ academic performance.

B．To understand the reason for his students’ dropout.

C．To prove the function of arts education at school.

D．To encourage students to take dance, not other arts.

34．Which can best describe the conclusion Charlie Rathbun will make about arts participation?

A．Reliable. B．One-sided.

C．Personal. D．Abstract.

35．What is the best title for the text?

A．Arts Class Participation At School: Yes Or No

B．New Dashboard: Participation In Arts Classes

C．New Dashboard For King County High Schools

D．Low Participation In Arts Classes At High School

    Two hundred years after Charles Darwin’s birth, studies have found new details of his life at the University of Cambridge. Six leather-bound ledgers(皮革账本) discovered in the university show this. 36．

He lived in the most expensive rooms provided for a rich student at his time. 37． He had someone to clean his room, make his bed and take care of the fire in his bright rooms.

Christ’s College’s basic food was meat and beer. 38．.

39． Later he described this time as the most joyful of his happy life. That large sum(金额) would have been fairly common for a student at Cambridge in the 19th century. The bills were paid by his wealthy father, Robert Darwin, a doctor.

In those days Cambridge was full of rich students living a pretty good life and Darwin was just one of them. Thanks to the richness, he was able to hire servants to help with the daily life. 40． He would be out shooting, collecting beetles, doing his scientific hobbies or visiting friends. He played cards and drank wine at night, just like students always have.

A．And thus he had plenty of time for socializing or private study.

B．The findings were published on the Internet.

C．So he paid five and a half pence extra each day to have vegetables.

D．He had several people to help him to deal with the daily housework.

E.He enjoyed the kind of comfortable university life that most of today’s students can only dream about.

F.When you look at the ledgers, you can find there were many rich students in Cambridge.

Dear Steve,

How is everything going on? Recently, I want to improve my English by reading English books that interest me. But I don't know what kind of book is suitable for my current level. So I am writing this letter to ask for help.

My current English level can only do some simple communication. At the same time, I can't speak out my ideas fluently in English. As for the books, I hope I can read some books related to daily communication. Because I want to improve my spoken English as soon as possible so that I can convey what I want to say freely

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours,

Li Hua
