History Fair Competition
Understanding history is vital to understanding ourselves as a people and as a
nation.

and fun!

In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho,
to Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never far away.
We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that
sunlight was fantastic for Mom’s vegetable garden. Working in the garden at
midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn’t care much about my bedtime.
Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a
mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going
in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel(桶)of paint but couldn’t
really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I made my
exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches
and drove me home.
Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me,
and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me. I hadn’t turned 5 yet.
As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you
to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?
As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder(驾雪橇者), I think I knew
him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the
time I didn’t realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was
wrapped(包裹)heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.
In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d’Alene, but we got one more Alaskan
adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to
attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.

They block entrances, crowd street corners and tip onto their sides, turning a
convenient form of transportation into a sidewalk danger that is particularly
dangerous for the elderly and disabled.
Now a new California company is working on a possible solution for stopping the
chaos caused by electric scooters(滑板车)in cities around the country. The company,
known as Swift mile, has unattended charging stations for e-scooters that are designed
to serve as a place where riders can park the scooters between rides. The company’s
founder, Colin Roche, said the sola-powered charging stations--which can
accommodate any brand of e-scooter--are most suitable for areas that are often
crowded with the scooters, such as bus and subway stations.
As the weather warms and ridership increases, that struggle is expected to
intensify. On one side of the debate, experts say, are cities whose leaders want to
reduce traffic and encourage alternative, environmentally-friendly patterns of
transportation to battle against climate change and promote innovation(创新). Some
local officials also fear that restricting scooter companies will cast cities in an
outdated light, discouraging technology companies from doing business there in the
future. On the other side of the debate are critics who have complained about
e-scooter companies for blocking walkways and selling a product whose use has led
to thousands of injuries among riders and pedestrians, many of them severe.
Pat Burt, a former Palo Alto mayor who is currently advising Swift mile, said the
future of e-scooters could depend heavily on what happens in 2019. Cities have
identified the benefits of e-scooters as well as the drawbacks, which could become
existential for the companies. “If the safety and other problems aren’t addressed, I
think cities will restrict them even more.”he said. “But there’s a good chance scooters
will be adopted universally if these problems get solved.”
28. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. The elderly are easy to get injured. 4
B. E-scooters are difficult to find.
C. Many problems are caused by e-scooters.
D. New inventions provide people with convenience.
29. What can e-scooter owners do at the charging station?
A. Park their e-scooters. B. Get their e-scooters repaired.
C. Have their e-scooters cleaned. D. Charge their e-scooters for free.
30. What benefits can e-scooters bring to the cities?
A. Attracting more tourists. B. Reducing traffic pressure.
C. Making the roads much safer. D. Increasing the local company’s profits.
31. What decides the future of e-scooters according to Pat Burt?
A. The public’s attitude. B. The improvement of traffic.
C. The solving of present problems. D. The benefits of the new business model.
D
Demand for the Chinese tech company’s devices(设备) is red hot even though
the country’s overall market for smartphones is getting smaller. Huawei's China sales
rocketed more than 20% in the final quarter of 2018, and experts say that's partly
due to the US government’s global campaign against the company.
“The latest tension between the US and China raised the patriotism(爱国主义) in
Chinese consumers, said Jusy Hong, an analyst at research firm IHS Markit.
He pointed out that some Chinese companies encouraged employees to buy
Huawei phones late last year. The moves were a gesture of support after the firm's
chief financial officer was arrested in Canada in early December at the request of the
United States.
Huawei's booming sales show how major parts of its business continue to
increase even as the United States tries to persuade other countries to shut Huawei
products out of 5G wireless networks and pursues(追究) criminal charges against it.
The company expects to overtake Samsung as the world's biggest smartphone maker
by next year.
Huawei sold 30 million phones in China in the last three months of 2018, nearly
three times as many as Apple (AAPL), according to data published this week by
research firms Canalys and IDC. Apple's sales plunged almost 20%.
Huawei's success in China, the world's largest smartphone market, is more than
about geopolitics(地缘政治). Chinese consumers love its flagship,high-end-phones
because they have great cameras, cutting edge technology and cost less than the latest
iPhones, according to analysts. And by offering a selection of cheaper phones,
Huawei is able to target a bigger market.
It also benefited from the troubles this year at ZTE (ZTCOF), a rival Chinese
smartphone and telecommunications equipment maker. ZTE was banned by the US
government from buying vital American parts for months last year.
32. Why did Huawei's China sales increase greatly according to the article?
A. Because the company's devices are always popular worldwide.
B. Because Chinese consumers' patriotism was aroused
C. Because the government encourages people to buy Huawei devices.
D. Because the country's overall market for smartphones is getting bigger. 5
33. What can we conclude from the third paragraph?
A. Huawei’s chief financial officer was arrested in Canada due to the US's request.
B. All Chinese companies showed their support to Huawei with their purchase.
C. Jusy Hong thought the United States arrested Huawei's chief financial officer.
D. Jusy Hong thought the arrest of Huawei's chief financial officer is unfair.
34. How do you understand the underlined word in the fifth paragraph?
A. increased greatly by. B. reduced greatly to.
C. dropped greatly by. D. remained steady.
35. Why is Huawei's success in China more than about geopolitics?
A. Because Huawei has the largest smartphone market in the world.
B. Because Huawei's success is only limited within China mainland.
C. Because Huawei has the ability to target a bigger market in the world.
D. Because Chinese consumers are quite satisfied with Huawei smartphones.
