Animal Friendly Camps for Children
SPCA(Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals)camps are the best choice for the children who love animals. Campers enjoy a unique learning experience with our furry friends during these one-week sessions．
·19·莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/
莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/
At San Diego’s Animal Adventure Camp，younger campers enjoy a wide range of exposure to animals and a dose of life lessons as well．Pets are played with inside a“safety circle，”a formation where kids sit with each knee touching a neighbor’s．Children then wait to be approached，learning the animals should come to them as opposed to chasing the animals and causing them stress．Then campers create one-of-a-kind toys for their favorite pups．
New Hampshire SPCA Summer Camp includes the Animal Advocates—Campers Picks program．Kids choose an animal to help it be adopted．They get to know it，its personality，and get the word out．Cage signs are lovingly made and hung and campers advocate for the animal all week．Then，when the animal finds a home，the entire camp celebrates．
Campers of all ages interact closely with horses at the MSPCA at Nevins Farm Children’s Camp in Methuen，Massachusetts．Set on a 40-acre farm with a working barn，the program introduces rescue training and the equipment used to transport an injured animal into an emergency vehicle to campers of all ages．This is many children’s first time interacting with large animals and it is thanks to the MSPCA's scholarship program．
Westchester SPCA Critter Camp in Briarcliff Manor，New York keeps kids busy all day．In addition to attending an animal cruelty workshop，campers create Adopt Me flyers for the sheltered dog or cat they’d like most to find a home．Then it’s time to post them around their neighborhood and do some legwork．There’s also crafting cat toys，baking dog biscuits and painting pictures to brighten things up in the dog farm．
21．What can children learn at San Diego’s Animal Adventure Camp?
A．How to approach animals． B．How to feed animals．
C．How to take care of animals． D．How to get along with animals．
22．Which camp trains children to save animals?
A．San Diego’s Animal Adventure Camp． B．New Hampshire SPCA Summer Camp．
C．Westchester SPCA Critter Camp． D．Nevins Farm Children’s Camp．
23．What do New Hampshire SPCA Summer Camp and Westchester SPCA Critter Camp have in common?
A．Both are shelters for large animals． B．Both encourage animal adoption．
C．Both involve making animal toys． D．Both take in endangered animals．

B
Automatic dishwashers have been around for more than 1 00 years．It started in 1886 with Josephine Cochrane，a woman in Shelbyville，Illinois．She was a rich woman who could afford servants to wash her dishes，so she really didn’t mind the work．What she did mind was that her servants broke the dishes．She hosted quite a few dinner parties，and after every party the servants broke more of her expensive dishes．
Finally，Cochrane took action．First，she measured her dishes and bent wire into racks to hold them．Next，she put the racks on a wheel in a large copper boiler．Then，the boiler sprayed hot，soapy water on the dishes as a motor turned the wheel．After a hot water rinse(冲洗)，the dishes were clean!
Josephine Cochrane’s friends were impressed with the machine and asked her to build more．After that，word got out fast．Soon hotel and restaurant owners who didn’t like broken dishes also were interested．Cochrane then knew that she had a wonderful machine，So she received a patent from the government，which said that only the inventor can make money from an invention．Then in 1893 Chicago held a world’s Fair where inventions from all over the world were shown．Cochrane’s labor-saving machine was a big hit．Her dishwasher won the highest award．
Cochrane’s company came out with a smaller machine in 1914．It was supposed to be for the ordinary home，but it wasn’t an immediate success．Many homes couldn’t produce the extremely hot water it needed．Also，in most homes，dishwashing wasn’t considered very difficult compared to most other housework．In fact some people liked to relax at the sink after a hard day! Sales of the home model finally picked up in the 1950s when people had more money and wanted to have more time to enjoy themselves．Now many homes have electric dishwashers that aren’t very different from the one Josephine Cochrane invented more than 1 00 years ago．
24．Why did Josephine Cochrane invent the dishwasher?
A．To make the dishes cleaner． B．To host more dinner parties．
C．To reduce the number of servants．D．To avoid damage to the dishes．
25．What does the underlined words in Paragraph 3 suggest?
A．The machine wasn’t as efficient as described．
B．The invention drew immediate attention of the public．
C．Josephine Cochrane could no longer keep it a secret．
·19·莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/
莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/
D．Josephine’s friends soon began to talk about the new machine．
26．The smaller machine became popular only when____________．
A．people had more relaxing jobs B．hot water was not needed
C．people’s living conditions improved D．housework became easier
27．Compared with Cochrane’s invention，modern electric dishwashers_______．
A．cost less money B．are quite different
C．are much the same D．wash many other things
C
For most of his high school years，Sam Olson shot and produced several documentaries(纪录片)on Elgin，Illinois，United States．
During that time，the 18-year-old developed an appreciation for his hometown，whether it was its high school，museum，or its history．After Olson recently moved to Chicago as he prepared for his first year of students at Columbia College，he wrote an open letter to Elgin．“It has been a meaningful journey to travel through the year of our city，”he wrote．“To learn exactly where we came from，where these parks and landmarks，people and traditions，all came from．”
Recently，Olson talked about his decision to write a heartfelt letter to his hometown and its residents．“If I hadn’t done the documentaries．Elgin might have left a different impact on me，”he said．“I would have written more of a‘thanks for letting me live here’letter rather than my‘thanks for allowing me to experience Elgin’．”The letter shows Olson as a teen curious about Elgin’s past．He remembers the Elgin veterans he interviewed for a project，and how they served in the US army．
He wishes he could see“magnificent structures”at their peak，such as the Elgin National Watch Company．One of his dream projects is to document former Elgin National Watch Company workers and what it was like living and working in Elgin in the 1950s，he said．He also wrote about how he hopes he could see Elgin High School in the old days，when“students crowded the front steps made of old brick”．
The Elgin teen’s love for the city may come as a surprise to adults and teens alike．Olson said he understands teenagers have so much on their minds that the past，present and future of their hometowns is not that important to them．
Olson is aware of the reputation Elgin has locally．But Elgin，like other communities，has its share of
·19·莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/
莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/
challenges，with residents and others fighting to make it the best it can be．“We have to keep Elgin’s spirit and history alive as long as we can，because it’s our hometown，”Olson said．
28．When Olson moved to Chicago，___________．
A．he had little idea about his future plans
B．he couldn’t wait to write a letter to his family
C．he felt proud to remember the old traditions of his hometown
D．he had already produced some documentaries about Elgin
29．What is Olson likely to do next?
A．Teach in Elgin high schoo1．
B．Interview some old soldiers．
C．Work in the Elgin National Watch Company．
D．Produce a new documentary on Elgin’s past．
30．What does the last paragraph imply?
A．Elgin is the best city in the US．
B．Elgin’s spirit and history are disappearing．
C．Much remains to be done to make Elgin better．
D．People in Elgin are satisfied with its development．
31．What is the author’s purpose in writing the story?
A．To promote Olson’s documentaries on his hometown．
B．To explain why Olson was so curious about Elgin’s past．
C．To describe what Olson did to show his love for his hometown．
D．To present the difficulties Olson experienced when producing documentaries．
D
Artificial intelligence(AI)has been undergoing great progress in the last decade．An AI program can imitate human functions such as problem solving and learning．While AI offers much promise for the development of smarter and more useful machines，it also fills many with fear of a dull future where millions are thrown out of work，replaced by robots and smart machines．
It’s perhaps possible that humans will one day be reduced to servants of our machine overlords，but a
·19·莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/
莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/
calm assessment predicts a mixed effect of AI on the job market．History teaches us that machines do replace humans，but somehow there are still plenty of jobs available today．
The reason is that automation can take the place of labor on certain jobs，but also adds labor for other jobs that are not easily automated，making labor more productive and actually increasing the demand for workers．
Jobs composed of repetitive tasks are the ones most defenseless to automation．Examples including automated weaving machines，ATMs，production-line welders(焊接工)and phone answering systems．It might seem that these advances would simply throw people out of work．
But look at the example of the weaving machines．They increased productivity 50-fold and dropped the price of cloth by 98 percent．The demand for cloth exploded as the price fell，thus creating more weaver jobs．In the years between 1830 and 1900，the number of weaver jobs increased 4-fold despite automation．Automation increased demand for weavers，but also changed the nature of the weaver’s job．A similar process happened with ATMs，which didn’t remove the need for human tellers，whose numbers actually have risen since ATMs were introduced in the 1970s.
The intelligent response is for the public and private sectors to create worker training programs to teach new skills that will be required despite the spread of automation．This will require all investment in on-the-job training and lifelong learning．
32．What can we know about AI from Paragraph 1?
A．It has a history of no more than 10 years．
B．It leaves many people worrying about job loss．
C．It is already too advanced to be further improved．
D．It is unable to learn or solve problems like humans．
33．What does the author say about automation in Paragraph 2?
A．It will surely reduce job chances for humans．
B．It will certainly help improve productivity．
C．It wi11 enable machines to enslave humans．
D．It will eventually take the place of all human labor．
34．What is the author’s main purpose of listing the examples in Paragraph 3?
·19·莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/
莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/
A．To tell us how to expand the job market to cut costs．
B．To explain why certain jobs suffer greatly from automation．
C．To show what is the best way to have productivity improved．
D．To prove automation doesn’t necessarily make humans jobless．
35．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．How AI will develop in the future
B．How AI will transform the job market
C．How man will benefit from automation
D．How man will survive in the age of automation

Some people say volunteering abroad is unaffordable for ordinary people． 36 Volunteering isn’t so expensive that it’s only an option for the well-off．Last year I spent 10 weeks volunteering in Arizona，helping to preserve America’s natural beauty．Altogether，it cost me around￡1，000 —a sum which I covered mostly by working in my student bar．
I spent my time maintaining trails，building fences and caring out re-vegetation projects in some of the national parks and national monuments of America. Summer temperatures in Arizona stay well above 35℃，not ideal if you’re carrying 50kg of concrete for 10 hours at a time． 37 One afternoon I was taking a nap when suddenly I realized that a snake was resting only 3 meters from me．The experience，needless to say，improved my strength of character，and reduced my fear of the English household spider．
38 But in reality，you benefit just as much as the local communities and eco-systems you’re helping．Spending 10 months in America’s most beautiful national parks and forests was an unforgettable experience．I gained a far deeper understanding of the local environment than the average tourist，meeting ex-national park keepers who had a unique knowledge of the area’s history and ecosystem．
39 Being placed in an unfamiliar environment forces you to use your initiative(主动性)and develop self-confidence—surviving 10 days of camping in the wild is something that three years of university could never provide．When I look back on the work I completed，it makes writing a paper and academic deadlines seem a lot more manageable．

A．And then there’s the wildlife to deal with．
B．I suffered a great deal from this experience．
C．From my experience，this couldn’t be further from the truth．
D．Many people will give time and energy if they see a benefit for themselves．
E．The most challenging aspects of working abroad are also the most beneficial．
F．Most people volunteer because they want to give something back to the world．
G．When I left Arizona，I returned home having made friends with students from across the world．

Just like most things rare and beautiful，orchids(兰花)don’t last forever，and it's always a little sad when the petals(花瓣)fall．I Carl’t 41 just throwing them out．Sooner or later，I usually put the green-leafed plants outside，and I've even tried putting them in the ground a couple of times， 42 with no luck．They’ve 43 re-bloomed．
This year，however，my lovely wife had other 44 ．A few of the plants were moved to a table in the living room，and some others were 45 on the kitchen windowsill(窗台)．I happily gave up 46 what to do with my flowerless orchids，and let my wife 47 trying to help them．

Most of the current plants are at least a 54 old now．But they’re still green，and that’s a good 55 ．My wife kept moving the plants 56 the house，looking for the right light．Tiny new stems(茎)grew from the old ones that she 57 not let me cut off，and now，nearly all of them are flowering．

Dear Julie,
How are you recently? We are going to have a pleasant holiday this Friday, because Dragon-boat Festival is coming! So I’m earnestly inviting you to come to my home.
Just take No.26 bus and get off at People’s Square Station, where I’ll be waiting for you and we’ll go home together. Then mother will prepare tasty food for our lunch, including zongzi. We’ll learn how to make it with our own hands, and you’ll learn how this traditional Chinese food came into being.
When lunch is over, we’ll go to East Lake, where we’ll enjoy watching wonderful Dragon-boat races. Interesting, isn’t it?
I can’t wait to see you soon!
Yours,

M: Lucky! You’ve got a great boss and a great apartment. I’m so happy for you! Let’s celebrate! Let me take you to dinner.

W: Jason just emailed me. He’s going to be a little late for the teachers’ meeting this afternoon. That shouldn’t be a problem, though. At least you and I will be there on time, right? George? Hey, George, what’s wrong?
M: Sorry. I’m just really concerned about my brother. He was supposed to come over to my house for dinner last night, but he never showed up.
W: How often do you see each other?
M: Once a week. We always have dinner on Wednesdays. He hasn’t missed one in over a year.
W: Did you try calling him?

M: Yes, and I left him a voicemail. He doesn’t have a cell phone, so I can’t send him a text.
W: I’m sure he’s fine. Sometimes things come up at the last minute. Your brother sounds like a very responsible person, so I don’t think you have anything to worry about.
M: OK, you’re probably right. Thanks.

M: I’ve noticed that you have been having trouble in one of your classes. Is there anything I can do to help?
W: Well, Mr. Hobart, I’m struggling to keep up with my math homework. I’m also studying history and chemistry for my other midterms, and math just doesn’t come easy for me.
M: That’s normal. I wasn’t the greatest math student when I was young. You do have some choices, though.
W: Like what?
M: One of them is to take an afterschool class with Mr. Jennings. He’s in charge of the math department.
W: I’ve heard of that. The problem is that I have volleyball practice on Tuesdays and Fridays. It’s really important to me.
M: I see. The other choice is to find a tutor. We have a number of students from our Gifted Program who tutor various subjects for extra credit. It’s during the lunch hour.
W: That would be great. When can I do that?
M: Every Monday and Thursday. Go see Mrs. Lee, and she’ll sign you up.

M: I saw you on the news! You’re a hero! Come on, tell me all the details.
W: Well, I was watching the pool from my chair, like I always do. There was a group of kids taking diving lessons in the deep end.
M: Go on…
W: I guess one of the students hit their head on the diving board, because I saw that someone was sinking to the bottom of the pool.
M: So, what did you do next?
W: I jumped in the pool after their instructor jumped in and brought the kid back to the surface. It was a young girl, and she had swallowed a lot of water.
M: Wow. Did you give her mouth-to-mouth?

W: Of course. Then I told one of the kids to call for an ambulance.
M: Quick thinking!
W: The girl coughed the water up almost immediately, and just like that, it was over. We cleaned the wound and bandaged it up, and the emergency services arrived twenty minutes later.
M: How was she?
W: She had no memory of the past ten minutes. She wanted to go back in the pool. She didn’t even know why her parents were crying.
M: She must have been in shock.

Hi, students! This is Ashley Jacobs, your student government president. I have some important information for everyone about activities on campus this year. I promise that there will be something fun for everyone to do. Do you like sports? I know everyone is a fan of our football team. And now there are two new teams at school this year. We have added a baseball team and a swim team. Or do you enjoy creative activities? Student government created an art club and a music club for people with artistic abilities. Both of these groups have events all year long. The art club hosts painting nights and trips to the local museum, and the music club goes to see shows at the concert hall. And don’t forget about the school newspaper for all the writers out there! We pass out the paper every week for free on campus. Read it to keep up with all of the school news and activities that I announced. I strongly recommend that you join a student organization. It is an easy way to make good friends and have fun. Please consider joining one of these groups today.
