records the details of her daily life, but more than that. Eventually, the diary comes to a

Thousands of India’s urban poor kids receive little or no education. Even if they enter a
formal school, their dropout rates are very high. Door Step School (DSS) aims to bridge the huge
gap between these kids and education.
True to its name, Door Step School sets up a school right at the doorstep of kids who can’t
get formal education due to a variety of reasons.
The team at DSS follows a direct model—they set up a classroom in any area a footpath,
construction site, or underpass, where they foresee the greatest need. They look for proper
locations, and after making sure that enough resources are in place, they accept students in the
area. DSS provides lessons of different levels. The organization even tries to provide classes in the
local language, or whatever the students choose.
Another interesting project of DSS is a school on wheels. It uses a bus that has been changed
into a classroom, which holds about 25 kids at a time.
Since it was started in 1988 Door Step School has spread from Mumbai to the neighbouring
city of Pune in Maharashtra covering a larger area and a number of kids. Now DSS has a team of
more than 1,000 volunteers and teachers who change more than 70,000 lives each year.
DSS doesn’t end at kids. The organization educates parents on the importance of sending
their kids to school. Its efforts have brought education to thousands of students in the last two
decades. Their belief in education for all has not only changed children’s lives but also continued
the fight against one of the biggest problems India faces. All children have the right to an
education, and DSS is providing just that.

Pandas are bears, and ears climb trees, so it’s logical to assume that all pandas probably know
how to climb trees, right? Wrong. New research shows that some pandas just aren’t capable
climbers.
Researchers evaluated the climbing skills of young giant pandas as part of a release program at the
Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in China. The study found that not all pandas
can
climb, and the best climbers make use of their head to help themselves up the tree.
The panda body doesn’t resemble that of any of the other seven bear species that exist. Instead,
it is more like that of a corgi, or even a hippo—they all have a very large body and large head with
relatively stout legs. Animals with that body shape aren’t known to climb trees, yet some pandas
can climb trees.
“It’s very odd that pandas are such good climbers because of their body shape,” Schulz said, a
physicist of the study. Schulz and his colleague, Rose Zhao, watched eight precious, 1-year-old
panda cubs climb bare tree trunks. The pandas that were better climbers figured out how to use
their head to grip the tree in order to climb, which is not something other animals do, Schulz said.
And, hugging the tree with their head helped keep the panda’s center of gravity directly above
their legs, which gave them more stability as they climbed. Human rock climbers aim to keep their
bodies close to the rocks and directly above their feet while hugging the climbing wall for the
same reason.
Climbing is an important skill for pandas that are going to make it in the wild. These large
bears aren’t particularly swift creatures, so their primary escape route is up in case of a danger. If
they can’t make it up a tree, they will get injured or killed. So climbing is an important skill for a
panda. The panda cubs at the Chengdu Panda Base that are most skilled at activities like climbing,
eating and walking are. more likely to survive in the wild and therefore are good candidates for the
release program However, it’s still unclear if these baby pandas are capable of learning to climb as
they age. Schulz and his colleagues will go on with their study, revisiting these same panda cubs
next few years.
32. What did the scientists of the study find?
A. What the surviving secret of pandas is.
B. Why some pandas are terrible at climbing.
C. How good climbers of the pandas use their heads.
D. Why the pandas are unbearably cute while climbing.
33. What does a panda have in common with a corgi or a hippo according to the passage?
A. They are good at climbing trees.
B. They can survive in the wild.
C. They are close to extinction.【高三 4 月质量检测•英语 第 6 页(共 8 页)】
D. They have similar body shape.
34. Why does a human rock climber often hug the rocks closely while climbing?
A. To keep his center of gravity above feet.
B. To use his head to support his body like a panada.
C. To relax his legs and feet ready for next steps.
D. To find the safest rocks to hold or step on.
35. What can we infer about the release program according to the passage?
A. It aims to teach all pandas to climb trees.
B. It introduces pandas to more other countries.
C. It attempts to help pandas to survive in the wild.
D. It studies the differences between adult pandas and cubs.

I will never forget the incident on a rainy Sunday afternoon. On my way to school, I was
waiting the green light at a crossing when a girl of about ten was knocked down by a passed car.
To my astonishment, the car drove off quickly after other people could react. A man immediately
rushed to the girl to give him first aid and I joined in with hesitation. Unluckily, she was badly
injured but sent to the nearest hospital. The escaped driver should be blamed for what he did it. I
am proud that I make a good choice then. Actually, we are all expecting the better society. Aware
