This is a journalist’s interview with him.‎ Interviewer: Did you have a lot of toys as a child?‎ Steven Aarons: No. My parents were not in any sort of financial position to buy toys as gifts. If I had any toys, they were from my uncle.‎ Interviewer: Why did you want to have a toy store?‎ Steven Aarons: When I was thinking about starting a toy store, I had friends who were artists. I was discussing with them the idea that kids are a blank page. And I think the materials you give to a child are really important to fill it.‎ Interviewer: What makes for a great toy store?‎ Steven Aarons: A toy store should consider the development of a child and can mix in thefact that some things are only for play. We’ll have a small shelf of Barbie dolls, but we are not going to put it out there predominately(占绝大多数地). I try to think of play time as being the same as nutrition(营养). When you work on a diet for your children you are trying to make sure they are eating healthy things. There’s a little bit of dessert mixed in, but you’re not going to give them just dessert.‎ Interviewer: Are there any problems of owning a toy store?‎ Steven Aarons: The hardest moment for me is when I’m helping someone who I sense doesn’t really enjoy having children. I think having children is one of the greatest things in life. I have a really good relationship with my kids.‎ ‎21. Why did Steven Aarons set up the toy store?‎ A. To thank his uncle. B. To meet his friends’ needs.‎ C. To provide good toys for kids. D. To achieve his childhood dream.‎ ‎22. What should a good toy store be like according to Steven Aarons?‎ A. It should offer kids dessert.‎ B. It should sell the most popular toys.‎ C. It should provide drawing materials.‎ D. It should mix play with education through toys.‎ ‎23. What is the difficulty of Steven Aarons’ owning a toy store?‎ A. He has few customers.‎ B. He lacks financial support.‎ C. He fails to balance his job and his family.‎ D. He finds it hard to help those who dislike children.‎ B Josh Morrison, 17, dreamed of raising $100,000 to build a home for a low-income family. After years of hard work, his dream has come true. The house is now in the early stages of building.‎ Six years ago, Josh and his dad went into a Habitat for Humanity Restore, a home improvement store and donation center run by the nonprofit organization. They were there to buy a sink. Josh, then 11, also noticed a collection of pennies. “I instantly felt the urge to help out with that,” he said. Josh set a fundraising deadline of four years. Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100,000, but it didn’t shake his faith. He raised money at his school and other nearby schools. He collected money from neighbors, got publicity from local newspapers, and placed cans in stores so that people could donate extra change.‎ Josh’s fundraising efforts began to produce results. Still, there were challenges. Four months before his deadline, he was $30,000 short. He decided to hold a Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner in Uxbridge, which is in the province of Ontario. The event raised $19,000.‎ ‎“I didn’t care how long it took me,” Josh said. “I would raise $100,000.” With three weeks left, a company called Josh’s house, offered to donate $18,000. Eventually, Josh reached a total of $124,000 before his deadline. “The momentum just kept going ‎, and we decided to do more,” he said. “Josh’s Penny House” is being built by Habitat for Humanity in the city of Oshawa, along with 24 new townhouses. Josh has helped with some of the construction, as have other volunteers. He will choose the family that moves into the unit. ‎ Next year, the 17-year-old will head to college in British Columbia, Canada’s westernmost province. As a 11-year-old kid when starting fundraising, Josh was able to send a powerful message across the world. No matter how old you are, if you have a dream and are willing to do anything to achieve it, it can come true. ‎ ‎24. Which word can best describe Josh Morrison in Paragraph 2 ? ‎ A. Straightforward. B. Open-minded.‎ C. Determined D. Cautious ‎25. Why was the Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner event in Uxbridge held?‎ A. To call for more attention B. To attain his goal ‎ C. To win approval from the local D. To find sponsors for a family ‎ ‎26. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean?‎ A. His project became more popular.‎ B. He received continuous donations.‎ C. The result was beyond expectations.‎ D. He got more support from the company. ‎ ‎27. What will be the best title of the text?‎ A. An Astonishing Fundraiser B. A Boy With a Warm Heart C. Kindness From a Company D. The Penny House Dream C A tiny Alaska village has experienced a boom in tourism in recent years as polar bears spend more time on land than on Arctic sea ice.‎ More than 2,000 people visited the Northern Alaska village of Kaktovik in 2018 to see polar bears in the wild. The far north community lies in an area where increasingly higher temperature has sped up the movement of sea ice, the primary habitat of polar ‎ bears. As ice has gradually moved to deep water beyond the continental shelf, more bears are remaining on land to look for food.‎ Polar bears have always been a common sight on sea ice near Kaktovik, but villagers started noticing a change in the mid-1990s. More bears seemed to stay on land, and researchers began taking note of more female bears making home in the snow on land instead of on the ice to raise their babies. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists began hearing reports of the increasing number of polar bears in the area in the early 2000s. As more attention was given to the plight(困境) of polar bears about a decade ago, more tourists started heading to Kaktovik.‎ The village had fewer than 50 visitors annually before 2011, said Jennifer Reed, of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. “Today we’re talking about hundreds and hundreds of visitors, many from around the world each year,” Reed said. Most tourists visit in the fall, when bears are forced toward land because sea ice is farthest away from the shore. Bruce Inglangasak, a local hunter who sometimes offers wildlife-viewing tours, said he’s been offering polar bear tours since 2004. Most of his clients(客户) are from China and Europe, as well as from the lower 48 U.S. states. Many tourists stay several days in the village, which has two small hotels. The villagers have benefited a lot from that. In turn, they provide more effective protection for polar bears with financial support from tourism development. ‎ ‎28. What causes more polar bears to stay on land in Kaktovia?‎ A. Food shortage. B. Climate change.‎ C. Habitats’ movement to shore. D. Their preference for land.‎ ‎29. How did common people feel about more sight of bears on land?‎ A. Excited. B. Puzzled.‎ C. Concerned. D. Shocked.‎ ‎30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A. Hotels in Kaktovik are in demand in autumn.‎ B. Kaktovik has about 50 visitors annually.‎ C. Inglangasak makes a living as a tour guide.‎ D. Tourism affects the balance of nature.‎ ‎31. Which saying can describe the text?‎ A. The fittest can survive.‎ B. After a storm comes a calm.‎ C. There is always opportunity in crisis.‎ D. Every coin has two sides. ‎ D If you have tried to ripen a piece of fruit by sticking it in a bag with a banana, you have used the power of ethylene(乙烯). Ethylene is an important plant hormone(激素). In banana and many other fruits, production of ethylene rises when the fruit is ready to ripen. This causes a hard, green, tasteless fruit to change into a soft, showy, sweet thing that’s ready-to-eat.‎ Scientists have studied ethylene’s role in plants for more than a century and the food industry has long used the gas to control ripening. But how fruits control production of the hormone was unknown. Now scientists have found a master switch that leads the plant to start ethylene production when the time is, well, ripe.‎ In a study published in Nature Plants, researchers found that before a fruit is ready to ripen, this master switch prevents ripening-related genes from being turned on before it’s time.‎ Turning on the master switch “is like breaking the glass on a fire alarm,” says study co-author James Giovannoni, a scientist at Cornell University. “Once you hit the switch, things really start happening.” The switch is important because ripening too early can have disastrous consequences for the plant--- it might miss its chance to reproduce.‎ When the plant hits the ripening switch, some genes become active. This finally makes the fruit ready-to-eat. In some fruits, turning the ripening switch also leads to activation of machinery for making ethylene. Ripening fruit doesn’t happen in a moment; it happens over time. Once the fruit starts producing ethylene, the hormone turns on everything that needs to be turned on, keeping or even speeding up the ripening process. We now know that for fruits like apples, bananas, pears and tomatoes, this happens when the master switch is pressed. For fruits that ignore ethylene, like grapes,‎ ‎ pineapples and many berries, the bag trick won’t work.‎ ‎32. Which of the following is responsible for ripening fruit?‎ A. A group of hormones in a plant.‎ B. The physical change of a plant.‎ C. A kind of liquid in a plant .‎ D. Certain genes in a plant.‎ ‎33. Why does Giovannoni make the comparison in Paragraph 4?‎ A. To explain the key role of the master switch. ‎ B. To explain the advantages of the master switch.‎ C. To show the process of studying the master switch. ‎ D. To show the difficulty of turning on the master switch.‎ ‎34. What happens after the master switch is turned on?‎ A. The fruit stops the ripening process.‎ B. The fruit becomes ripe very quickly.‎ C. The plant begins to produce ethylene.‎ D. The plant misses its chance to reproduce.‎ ‎35. What is the purpose of the text?‎ A. To solve a problem.‎ B. To make a prediction.‎ C. To give a practical advice.‎ D. To present a research finding.‎ 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。‎ Many schools around the country have banned vending machines(自动售货机). To many students, including myself, this would be a mistake since most students enjoy buying snacks and drinks from the vending machines.‎ ‎___36___ As stated on the new standards for the national schools, in order for a ‎ snack to be sold in a school vending machine, it is required to meet strict nutrition standards. Snacks that are being sold should be low in calories(卡路里) and low in fat.‎ When students are given the opportunity to buy inexpensive snacks in a vending machine, they often take the opportunity to do so. ___37___ Having something to snack on instead of a school lunch is really convenient.‎ ‎___38___ Having these types of vending machines are important because during the day students are drinking water or energy drinks to stay energized.
