卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Olivia Ries was just seven years old when she and her eight-year-old brother Carter adopted a
cheetah(猎豹) in South Africa.
“When my sister and I first learned back in 2009 that species like the cheetah may be extinct
in the wild by the time we have kids, it scared us. We knew we had to do something to help them,”
says Carter. “There are so many people (young and old alike) who just don’t know what is
happening to so many species, just like we didn’t. Olivia and I want to make sure we reach as many
people around the world as possible and help them to understand how serious the situation really
is.”
To do that, the kids started One More Generation (OMG), an organization with the motto:
“Preserving endangered species for one more generation and beyond.”
Now, ten years later, Olivia and Carter have traveled all over the world spreading their
message. They’ve been interviewed on national television, participated in marches and fundraisers 高二英语试题 第4页(共 10 页)
and won awards for their work. In 2015, they were invited to Vietnam by the United States
Embassy to participate in a program to save rhinos. All that they’ve accomplished for animals and
the environment is much too long to list!
“Our number one message to everyone we meet is 'Remember, anyone can make a
difference... if we can, you can too, ' ” says Olivia. “We want all people to understand that what
Carter and I are doing is not necessarily something special; it is something that we all should be
doing. You can start small by simply adopting an animal. Do some research on the species you are
interested in, and find a good organization offering adoptions. My brother and I take our birthday
money and allowance money and adopt animals all the time.”
21. How did Olivia and Carter feel when learning cheetahs faced extinction?
A. Angry and guilty. B. Shocked and concerned.
C. Anxious and helpless. D. Hopeful and determined.
22. What does the underlined “that” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A. Helping endangered species survive.
B. Telling people the situation cheetahs face.
C. Making the situation of dying species known.
D. Calling on people to adopt endangered species.
23. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell about Olivia and Carter?
A. They organized activities to raise money. B. They took measures to save rhinos.
C. They made efforts to list extinct species. D. They contributed a lot to dying species.
24. What do Olivia’s words suggest?
A. Anyone can help by starting small.
B. Anyone can do something special.
C. Anyone should do research on species.
D. Anyone should donate to adoption organizations.
25. If you’re to offer Olivia a gift, which might she expect most?
A. "Adopting a panda in name of both her and me."
B. "Making her a furry dog with my own hands."
C. "Buying her a doll of the latest style."
D. "Mailing her a handmade postcard."

Mindy Scheier is on a mission to make fashionable clothing accessible to everyone. In 2014,
she started the Runway of Dreams Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps bring adaptive
clothing to disabled people.
Scheier explained the inspiration behind her efforts. “My son, Oliver, was born with rigid
spine muscular dystrophy,” she said. “His lack of strength created challenges with typical clothing.
After spending years in the fashion industry, I decided that there was an opportunity to combine my
fashion experience with my others.”
Scheier began to create trendy clothing that her son could wear with ease. For example, she
used magnets and elastics(松紧带) in place of buttons and zippers. Those adjustments have enabled
Oliver to wear the same style as his friends do, even jeans.
Scheier’s vision extends beyond just helping her own son. “I soon realized that millions of
disabled people were also struggling to access fashionable clothing that meets their needs,” she said.
That was why she started the Runway of Dreams Foundation.
On September 5, 2018, the foundation held its annual fashion show during New York Fashion
Week. The event showcased the foundation’s new adaptive clothing. The show featured several
disabled models, including Cole Gottlieb and Maddie Hostetter. Cole, a 9-year-old boy born with
cerebral palsy, loves to play baseball and soccer. He was excited to participate in the fashion show.
“It lets me be a role model to others,” he said. Maddie, aged 8, was born with only one full arm. “I
heard about Runway of Dreams from my mom,” explained Maddie. “Even though I can button
clothes with one arm, the magnets have made it much easier for me.”
Scheier—whose TED Talk was released in January 2018—credits her passion with the
progress Runway of Dreams has made in the last few years. “Passion allows you to not take no for
an answer,” she encourages. “It allows you to keep going when faced with challenges.”
26. What motivated Scheier to start Runway of Dreams?
A. Her fashion experience. B. Her talent for designing clothing.
C. Her sympathy for the disabled. D. Her son’s special needs in clothing.
27. What most features Runway of Dreams?
A. It is a non-profit organization.
B. It employs the disabled as models.
C. It produces trendy clothing for the disabled.
D. It decorates its clothing with buttons and zippers. 高二英语试题 第6页(共 10 页)
28. Why does the author mention Cole and Maddie in Paragraph 5?
A. To draw people’s attention to disabled models.
B. To promote the foundation’s new adaptive clothing.
C. To call on models to participate in the fashion show.
D. To stress the influence of the foundation on the disabled.
29. What can we infer from what Cole and Maddie said?
A. They accepted the fact of being disabled. B. They were hopeful for their future.
C. They were grateful to Runway of Dreams. D. They dreamed of being role models.
30. What’s essential in the growth of the foundation according to Scheier?
A. Dreams. B. Passion. C. Progress. D. Challenges.
C
We’ve all been in a situation where we ask our friend to the restaurant for lunch and find
ourselves waiting at a table alone. We look around the room, notice all the other customers dining
with someone, and suddenly become insecure that we’re alone. Instead of starting a conversation
with someone, we rush to grab our phones and stare at the screen until we are finally rescued by
our late friend.
Long gone are the days when we start a conversation with the person next to us while sitting
on the subway during the morning or evening commute. However, small talk, as well as the
willingness to engage in it, is very important.
When humans engage in small talk, it actually provides a feeling of happiness. Those who
socially interact are likely to increase their happiness and health, while others who shy away from
social interaction are reported to feel disappointed and unhealthy, according to the Huffington Post.
And small talk not only keeps us feeling happy and healthy, but teaches us how to stay calm in
situations that we might not normally find ourselves in. Instead of feeling anxious and nervous,
starting a conversation with people you don’t know helps calm the nerves and provides a feeling of
inclusion. An unfamiliar event with people you don’t know suddenly becomes gratifying.
But perhaps the most important reason why everyone should learn to engage in small talk is
that it teaches us how to listen and truly form relationships. By asking a stranger some questions
and showing interest in them, it helps establish new relationships, whether they are personal or
business-related.
You should learn how to connect with someone and identify with people you don't know. So
next time you’re alone in a public place, try to reach out to others and start a conversation. It’s
really not that hard.

Just thinking about your favorite food probably makes you hungry, right? Food provides us
with the energy we need to live. 36 For some people, food is a tool to deal with emotional
problems. However, you may overeat when you’re feeling stressed, sad or worried, which will do
harm to your health.
Have you ever wondered why you reach for food when you’re feeling down? 37 They
include cultural rules and mental problems. Many people overeat when they are trying to deal with
feelings.
38 After a while, though, overeating may lead to feelings of regret. It may even
worsen the negative feelings it was meant to remove. You may gain weight and meet with body
image problems, leading to a cycle of more emotional eating.
Emotional eating may even lead to overeating disorder. 39 You may feel completely
out of control and unable to stop eating. You may eat much more rapidly than normal and eat until
the point of feeling uncomfortably full.
Although stopping overeating can be challenging, it is certainly not impossible. It is important
to look for medical help if it becomes overeating disorder. If you’re upset and longing for food, try
to distract your attention. 40

Alipay Ant Forest has been awarded the United Nation’s highest environmental honor — the
“U.N. Champions of the Earth” award. The statement was issued by UNEP(联合国环境计划署)
on September 20.
The Ant Forest was started in the Alipay app in August 2016. It encourages users to adopt
low-carbon activities — such as paying online and walking or taking buses to work instead of
driving. Such behavior produces virtual “green energy points.” With enough energy points, users 高二英语试题 第10页(共 10 页)
can grow a virtual(虚拟的) “tree” on their mobile phone. Then the virtual tree is planted by Alipay
in areas that need reforesting.
By August 2019, Alipay Ant Forest has attracted over 500 million users. Their low-carbon
behavior has resulted in 122 million trees in arid areas in China, including regions in Inner
Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai and Shanxi. The influence has also traveled beyond China. Inspired by
Alipay Ant Forest, the Philippines’ leading mobile wallet service GCash added GCash Forest to its
App in June 2019. Local users are encouraged to contribute to reforestation and environmental
protection by adopting low-carbon activities in their daily lives.
"Alipay Ant Forest shows how technology can change our world," said Inger Andersen,
Executive Director of the UNEP. “Although the environmental challenges we face are
disappointing, we have the technology and the knowledge to defeat them.” she said.
Champions of the Earth is the U.N.’s flagship global environmental award. It was established
in 2005 to recognize outstanding figures that have had a positive effect on the environment.
"We are truly honored to receive this Champions of the Earth award," said Eric Jing,
Chairman and CEO of Ant Financial. “Alipay Ant Forest reflects our belief that technology can and
should be used for social good. Its popularity shows that the public is ready to take action to fight
climate change,” he said.
