With three million residents, the Ajegunle district in Lagos, Nigeria is one of the country’s most
densely populated slums(贫民区). Its residents struggle to obtain clean water and sanitation(卫生设
备), resulting in rubbish that litters the streets. Access to education is also an issue for many families,
and they are unable to afford the fees to send their children to school. But with the help of a new
grassroots project, these problems are being settled all at once. Known as the Recycle Pay project,
plastic waste acts as money to allow parents to pay a portion of their kid’s school fees.
The organizations, African Clean Up Initiative and WeCyclers, created the Recycle Pay project
and partnered with the Morit International School in Ajegunle to make it happen. They’ve made it
easy for parents to take advantage of this project. They simply need to bring a bag of plastic waste to
a fixed spot and have it weighed. The weight is then translated into a value of money and deducted
(扣除) from the fees owed to the school. It’s a positive outcome for everyone—the environment is a
little bit cleaner and there’s less financial hardship on the family.
Parents are thrilled with the arrangement as it ensures that their children can continue their
education. “I struggle to pay for school fees, sometimes I pay half the price and later pay the
remaining balance,” explains parent Sherifat Okunowo to the BBC. “But with the introduction of
this project, the plastic has made it easy for me to pay school fees.”The school’s principal says, “It has really reduced the burden on parents,” he says. “We now
collect fees faster—the school wins, the children win, the parents win, everybody wins.”
24.The living situation in this area is bad except__________.
A. it is hard to collect plastic rubbish B. it is hard to get a healthy environment
C. it is difficult to have clean water D. it is difficult to have complete education
25. What should parents do now to send their children to school?
A. Sell the plastic rubbish to get money.
B. Take a bag of plastic rubbish to a fixed place.
C. Pay all the school fees by selling plastic waste.
D. Ask their children to take a bag of waste to school.
26. What advantage does the project give to the area?
A. The locals can get clean water. B. The environment can become tidy.
C. People can earn some extra money. D. The school can get enough plastic.
27. What can we infer from the principal’s words?
A. The project is worth supporting.
B. The students can hand in their fees on time.
C. The school needs money to go on running.
D. The school will win more matches in the future.
C
From an extremely rare “pale tiger” to all-white orca whales spotted in the Pacific Ocean, more
and more albino( 白 化 的 ) animals are being discovered around the world. In Wolong National
Reserve in southwest China, a motion-activated camera recently snapped the first photo of an
extraordinarily rare, all-white albino panda.
The photo, taken in April 2019, shows the unusual bear wandering through the 680-acre
bamboo forest at an altitude of 6,500 feet(2,000 meters). With its distinctive white fur, the giant
panda looks like a polar bear who has got lost—but it’s perfectly at home in the humid environment.
As well as white fur and claws, the photo reveals it also has red eyes, indicating that it is an animal
with albinism—a rare genetic mutation(变异) that results in a loss of pigmentation(色素) of the skin,
eyes, and hair. As the image is blurred, scientists could not determine the panda’s sex, but they guess
that it’s somewhere between one and two years old.A lack of protective pigment in people and animals with albinism can make them more
sensitive to sunlight, resulting in potential eye damage and skin defects. However, since this
particular panda is sheltered by the bamboo forest , its condition is unlikely to affect its quality of
life. Li Sheng, a specialist in bears says, “The panda looked strong and its steps were steady, a sign
that the genetic mutation may not have quite affected its life.”
Giant pandas are currently listed as endangered, with less than 1,000 adults existing in the wild.
This shows just how rare this white panda really is, and it could very well be the only one in the
world. However, albinism is genetic condition, so we might see some more of these white forest
bears in the future.
28. Why does the author mention the pale tiger and white whales?
A. To draw readers’ attention to the rare animals.
B. To make readers interested in the mystery.
C. To lead to the topic—the white panda.
D. To get the conclusion in advance.
29. The statements about the white panda are correct except_________.
A. it has red eyes B. it is a young panda
C. it was lost in the forest D. it felt very easy in the forest
30.What makes the white panda have normal quality of life?
A. Less sunshine. B. Sudden genetic change.
C. Wonderful eyesight and skin. D. Protection from the bamboo forest.
31.Why will we see more white pandas in the future?
A. Scientists will help white pandas bear more babies.
B. White pandas will become stronger than normal ones.
C. The white panda will pass its disease to its next generations.
D. White pandas will have more chances to protect themselves.

The reception at the Henn na Hotel east of Tokyo is quiet until guests approach the robot
dinosaurs manning the front desk. Their sensors detect the motion and they say “Welcome”.
It might be about the weirdest check-in experience possible, but that’s exactly the point at the
Henn na chain, which bills itself as offering the world’s first hotels staffed by robots. The front desk staff are a pair of giant dinosaurs that look like cast members of the Jurassic Park movies, except for
the tiny bellboy hats perched on their heads. The robo-dinos process check-ins through a tablet
system that also allows customers to choose which language—Japanese, English, Chinese or
Korean—they want to use to communicate with the multilingual robots.
But for other guests the novelty is the charm: Each room is staffed with mini robots that look a
bit like robot BB-8 in Star Wars, and help guests with everything from changing channels to playing
music. Even the fish swimming in the lobby run on batteries, with electric lights in their articulated
bodies flickering on and off as they work their way around giant tanks.
“The dinosaurs looked intriguing, and I thought my son would love it,” said Chigusa Hosoi,
who was at the hotel with her three-year-old. “My son is really happy. There’s an egg-shaped robot
inside the room. He was playing with it a lot.”
The manager said relying on robots for everything from front desk duty to cleaning had proved
an efficient choice in a country with a shrinking labour market. “It’s becoming difficult to secure
enough labour at hotels. To solve that problem, we have robots serving guests. ”
32. What is the uniqueness of Henn na Hotel?
A. It is located east of Tokyo.
B. It has dinosaurs to offer service.
C. It advertises itself as offering the world’s first hotels staffed by robots.
D. It gets great support from the government.
33. What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Frightening B. Fascinating C. Boring D. Common
34. What can we infer from the manager’s words?
A. The robots will become popular in Japan.
B. Robots have saved the hotels from breaking down.
C. Japan will encourage more hotels to follow this one.
D. There are not enough qualified hotel workers in Japan.
35. What may be the best title for the text?
A. The best hotel in Tokyo, Japan
B. Welcome to the hotel staffed by robot dinosaurs
C. Why not go to the hotel only staffed by robotsD. The robots replace the human staff in Japan

From Americans. Below Teens has picked out four for you. Take a look.

Britons don’t all change into evening dress for supper like what you may have seen in popular
TV shows like Downton Abbey. But they do tend to make an effort when going out for dinner

When dining out at a restaurant, 39 .They think the food is somehow “ tainted” once
they’ve poked at it with a knife and fork. In the US, wrapping it up to take home is a standard

4. When you get into a taxi
Britons will give the cab driver an address, then assume that’s it for the interaction until it’s
time to pay. Even if they’re being taken in a roundabout way, 40 .In the US, however, most
passengers think nothing of telling the driver what route to take after telling him or her the
destination.

For the 61 (one) time in four years, Singapore is not the best destination for foreign
