What were you doing when you were nine years old? Making crafts from a Klutz book? Kicking around a
soccer ball? Designing a business plan to deal with plastic pollution and relieve childhood poverty? Zymal Umar
shoved us the latter. The Pakistan's youngest businesswoman has started a project entitled Zee Bugs, which aims to
reduce plastic pollution by providing an environmentally-friendly alternative to plastic grocery bags.
When Zymal was on a shopping trip with her parents three years ago, she was shocked by the number of
plastic bags on the streets. Depressed by the plastic pollution, she was reminded of the severe consequences our
habits have on the environment. Then. she noticed a shopkeeper handing out newspaper bags. And at that moment,
Zymal knew she had to act. Since then she has created beautiful, unique reusable newspaper bags for hundreds of
customers.
It's amazing to see this youngster using her brains and business skills for good. And she should certainly feel
proud of the work she is doing. After all, plastic grocery bags are killing thousands of marine animals every year
through their contribution to plastic waste According to The Earth Institute, over one trillion plastic bags are used
worldwide annually — that's about two million bags used per minute around the world.
And those bags certainly don't disappear into thin air. Instead, they end up in our oceans, putting
approximately 700 marine species in danger of extinction due to the threat from pollution. And plastic bags are just
one of the many forms of plastic trash that ends up in the oceans — in fact, an astonishing 8. 8 million tons of this
material make their way from land to the oceans every single year.
But with Zee Bags, we're all empowered to make more thoughtful choices about our trash production. And
Zymal's amazingness doesn't stop there — the profits from her sales go towards helping poor children.
24. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. How Zymal felt about her shopping trip.
B. How Zymal learned about plastic pollution.
C. How Zymal was received by the shopkeeper.
D. How Zymal was inspired to create her bags.
25. Why are figures mentioned in the third and fourth paragraphs?

B. To urge readers to slop using plastics.
C. To stress the seriousness of plastic pollution.
D. To show the rich knowledge of the author.
26. What can we infer about Zymal from the last paragraph?
A. She is amazing in every aspect of her life.
B. She has concern for the disadvantaged.
C. She urges everyone to be eco-friendly.
D. She earns a lot of money from her business.
27. Which of the following best describes Zymal?
A. Caring. B. Determined. C. Confident. D. Selfless.

When Edgar Allan Poe, the 19th century American writer best known today for his horror stories, first
introduced the world to his fictional detective C. Auguste Dupin, he hit on a winning formula (方案).
Dupin was Sherlock Holmes before Sherlock Holmes, a genius detective who first appeared in the story of
"The Murders in the Rue Morgue". Though the roots of the detective story go as far back as Shakespeare, Poe's
tales of rational (理性的) crime-solving created a unique type. His stories mix crime with a detective narrative,
inviting readers to try to solve the puzzle too.
The key figure in such a story, then, is the detective. Poe's detective, Dupin is a gentleman of leisure who
keeps himself occupied by using "analysis" to help the real police solve crimes. The real police are, of course,
absolutely incompetent, like Inspector Lestrade and Scotland Yard are to Holmes. Like Holmes, he smokes a pipe
and is unnaturally smart and rational, a kind of superhero who uses powers of thinking to accomplish great tasks of
crime-solving.
"The elements Poe invented, such as the socially-awkward genius detective, his 'ordinary' helper, the
impossible crime, the incompetent police force, the locked room mystery, etc. , have become firmly fixed in most
mystery novels of today," says English professor Karen 'Tan.
Poe's formula appealed in the 19th century because detective stories promised that reasoning could hold the
answer to every question. At the same time, with mysterious overtones, they appealed to 19th-century readers'
addiction to the mystical.
The detective story, writes book critic William Mullins, was particularly appealing because it promised that
"intellect will win out, the criminal will be caught by the rational detective, science will track down the evil-doer
and allow honest people to sleep at night." At the same time, MacIntyre writes. 19Ih-century anxieties about the
Industrial Revolution and new ways of living supported the idea that evil was everywhere. These two instincts —
"people's increasing faith in reason and mistrust of appearance"- are what made 19th century readers love detective
stories, a love that endures today.
28. What do we learn about Poe's fictional detective stories?
A. They created a new style of detective story telling.
B. They eventually became Poe's most famous stories.
C. The main character was inspired by the Sherlock Holmes.
D. Dupin was the first detective to appear in a fictional story.
29. What is Dupin's major strength as a detective?
A. His experience.
B. His determination.
C. His fearlessness.
D. His intelligence
30. What can we infer about the Dupin and Sherlock Holmes stories?
A. They are both set in England.
B. They get readers to think and find.
C. Both of the assistants are incompetent.
D. Both of their detectives are very sociable.
31. What made detective stories popular according to William Mullins?
A. Readers' growing interest in the mysterious plot.
B. People’s concern about the increasing level of crime.
C. The public's confidence in the power of rational thought.
D. Economic insecurity resulting from the Industrial Revolution.

The rapid growth in skyscrapers worldwide has led to a high demand for window washers since most of these
buildings feature large glass panes (窗格) to highlight their breathtaking views.
Though the job offers a handsome salary, dangling alongside multi-story structures is dangerous, and
accidents are not uncommon. However, if Israel-based company Skyline Technologies has its way, the dangerous
chore may soon be taken care of by Ozmo, an intelligent window cleaning robot.
"As a society, we've become too comfortable watching people hanging off the sides of 30-story buildings,"
says Yaron Schwarez, co-founder and CEO of Skyline Robotics. "No salary could justify allowing people to put
their lives in the hands of a system of ropes."
Much like humans, Ozmo is placed on platforms suspended from the buildings and uses its arms and brushes
to clean the dirt on the glass panes. A 3D map of the building's surface programmed into its system allows the robot
to skillfully handle obstacles as it moves up and down the structure. Computer vision and touch sensors enable it to
move out of the way in case of unexpected events, such as the sudden opening of a window.
Unlike current window washers, the robot cleaner does not require soap to clean the glass. Instead, it uses
distilled water (蒸馏水) and a process called dirt absorption to do the job. Schwarez explains, "We use pure water
to absorb and remove the salts, the minerals, the oils, and the dirt from the building. We are
environmentally-friendly."
Ozmo is also expected to be much more efficient than humans. While it currently takes three cleaners 480
hours each to clean the windows of a 40-story glass building, the robot will single-handedly complete the task in
just 80 hours. However, unlike other robots, Ozmo will not replace human workers. It will only make their jobs
safer by lifting them to the role of supervisors, who will be remotely controlling the operation from below.
Whether Ozmo, which is still undergoing testing, does as good a job as human remains to be seen.
32. Which of the following can best replace the phrase "has its way" in paragraph 2?
A. Succeeds. B. Hesitates. C. Struggles. D. Exists.
33. What can we learn about Ozmo from the passage?
A. It requires chemicals to clean.
B. It has trouble crossing obstacles.
C. It operates with great efficiency.
D. It works without human helpers.
34. What is the author's attitude towards the future application of Ozmo?
A. Optimistic.
B. Doubtful
C. Unconceded.
D. Objective.
35. What is the best tile for the text?
A. Ozmo: a Double-edged Sword.
B. Ozmo: a Smart Window Cleaner.
C. Window Washing: a Dangerous Job.
D. Window Washing: a Blessing in Disguise.
第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳
选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The ability to think creatively is not a gift everyone possesses naturally, so it must be developed as a skill.
Here are some tips to help you develop creative and critical thinking abilities.
Step outside your comfort zone
Stepping outside of your comfort zone is an easy way to expand your creative and critical thinking skills. This
can mean reading a book or an article that is completely unrelated to any previous studies, or even having a difficult
conversation with someone you're close to. 36 . We all grow from discomfort.
Stay healthy
Your mind is in the best shape when your body is. Coupling exercise with a healthy diet can clear the mind
and allow for creativity. 37 . Some people are easily distracted by a messy office or a dark room. Most
people are the most awake when they are in clean, healthy, and organized environments.
38 .
This is a common technique used by journalists and writers suffering from writer's block. It's an easy tool to
get the creative juices flowing. Open up a laptop, or grab a notebook and pen, and just start writing. Just let your
mind take you wherever it wants to go. 39 .
Take a breather
Everyone may reach points where they get stuck on an idea and can't get past it. Don't let this discourage you,
and don't blame yourself. That sort of thinking will make you disheartened and distracted, which will only make
you even more frustrated. 40 . Co outside for some fresh air, take a walk, eat a meal, or call a friend.
Distraction, in moderation, can be very rewarding.
A. Write freely
B. Keep an open mind
C. Instead, take a short break
D. Keep your spirits high at work and even during the holidays
E. This is a great way to explore your thoughts and expand your creativity
F. Your work environment can also greatly affect the way the brain functions
G. Anything making you a bit uncomfortable probably benefits you more than it harms you

Dear Jeff,
It's such a relief to learn that the situation in Italy has improved with the help of the Chinese professionals.
The fight against the COVID-19 epidemic is a war without borders. We either win as one or we lose together.
Therefore, China is joining hands with many other countries to fight the war. I quite understand your present worry
and fear because I have gone through what you are experiencing now. But as long as you follow the instructions of
medical experts, you and your family will stay healthy.
As China is returning to normal, I hope Italy will recover soon. Above all, I hope we humans will beat this
epidemic and the whole world will be safe. Looking forward to hearing bck from you.
Yours
Li Hua
