22、 On Oct. 2, carpentry students from Harvard H. Ellis Technical High School(ET)in the United States were putting the finishing touches on a handicapped ramp(残疾人坡道)at Northeast Placement Services. It was a thing of beauty, leading from a deck outside one building to the entryway of the new Community Education Center.
Students started the project a year ago, in April. ET has a rotating(循环的)schedule-two weeks of academic work followed by two weeks of shop work(车间工作). For this ramp, some students were required to cut wood on a table saw. Others needed to cut a piece of deck railing to fill a gap. Department Head Jim Gallow moved among them, answering questions.
Their academic schedule made it difficult to finish the job very quickly. During the summer, work stopped altogether.
Senior Gabe Martel didn’t know he wanted to be a carpenter when he first arrived at ET. He soon found that the hands-on activity suited him.
“I knew I wanted a trade,” he said. “From day one, I thought carpentry was amazing.”
“There were a few tough people,” said Tristan Madden. “You have to learn to work with people.”
At the end of a job, there are just a few items to finish. Everyone else gets assigned clean-up duties.
Timothy Carpentier knew he wanted to be a carpenter since the sixth grade. He’d spent time working on projects with his father.
“I’d go to Home Depot when they taught things,” he said. “It was fun. Now, this is preparing me for the workforce”
“It’s rewarding to see what the students produce,” Gallow said.
The next project will be at the Brooklyn Fairgrounds, where students will rebuild a portion of the main stage. They’ll work through the winter months, unless it’s brutally cold.
“Like I tell them, you have to eat in the winter, too,” he said.
【1】what do we know about ET’s project at Northeast Placement Services?
A.It took no more than one year to complete.

C.It prepared him for his dream job.
D.It taught him how to make a plan.
【3】What was Gallows attitude toward the students’ product?

23、Microplastics are everywhere in our environment. It’s hardly surprising that the tiny fragments have also been found in the human body. A new study shows that Americans are consuming as many as 121,000 particles each year.
Measuring 50 to 500 microns in length, microplastics come from a variety of sources, including large plastics that break down into smaller and smaller pieces. Therefore, much remains unknown about the common existence of these materials within the human body, as well as the impact on human health.
Hoping to fill in some of these gaps, a research team, led by Kieran Cox, a Ph. D. candidate at the University of Victoria, looked at 26 papers assessing the number of microplastics in commonly consumed food items, among which are seafood, sugar, salt, honey, alcohol and water. The team also evaluated the potential consumption of microplastics through inhalation (吸入) using previously reported data on microplastic concentrations in the air and the Environmental Protection Agency’s data on respiration rates. Based on these data, the researchers calculated that our annual consumption of microplastics via foods and drinks ranges from 39,000 to 52,000 particles. When microplastics taken in through inhalation are taken into account, the range jumps to between 74,000 and 121,000 particles per year.
The authors of the study found that people who drink exclusively from plastic water bottles absorb additional 90,000 microplastics each year, compared with 4,000 among those who only consume tap water. “This shows that small decisions, over the course of a year, really matter and have an impact.” Cox says. The new study, according to its authors, was the first to investigate “the accumulative human exposure to microplastics”. But in all likelihood, the research tells only a small part of the entire story. Collectively, the foods and drinks that the researchers analyzed represent 15 percent of Americans’ caloric intake. The team could not account for food groups like fruits, vegetables and grain because there simply is not enough data on their microplastic content.
For those who worried about microplastic consumption, cutting down bottled water is a good place to start. But for the heart of the problem, we have to stop producing and using so many plastics.
【1】What makes it difficult to know microplastics commonly exist in the human body?
A.The quality of microplastics.
B.The quantity of microplastics.
C.The size of microplastics.
D.The shape of microplastics.
【2】How did Kieran Cox’s team calculate the potential consumption of microplastics?
A.By analyzing existing data.
B.By comparing the impact.
C.By studying papers.
D.By conducting experiments.
【3】What can we know according to the text?
A.The study is among the earliest ones to investigate human exposure to microplastics.
B.Drinking less plastic bottle water helps to take in fewer microplastics.
C.Cox’s team gained comprehensive information of microplastics taken in by humans.
D.People consume 74,000 to 121,000 particles of microplastics per year from foods and drinks.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.The Potential Problems of Microplastics
B.Microplastics Found Within Human Bodies
C.Microplastics Coming From Various Sources
D.The Impact of Microplastes on Human Health
24、How to Make Reading a Regular Habit
I’ve always been a bookworm. There’s no place I’d rather be than buried in the pages of an attractive story, absorbed into another life, another world. Yet many friends and fellow book-lovers have told me: “Oh, I haven’t read a book in ages... I’m just too busy.” However, research has found that regular reading helps us relax: reading for just six minutes can reduce stress levels by 68 percent. 【1】
Dedicate reading time. Setting aside some dedicated time every day—whether on your morning commute (通勤) or in the bath before bed—is a good place to start. 【2】
Listen to an audiobook. For those who find it tough to spend time on reading, audiobooks allow you to multitask. Book blogger Amanda Chatterton says she sticks to her headphones and “reads” while going for an hour-long pre-work walk in the morning. She says, “ 【3】You can listen on transport, out walking, in the bath, doing jobs around the house or just sitting and relaxing”.
【4】 If you’re the kind of person who is motivated by targets, try using sites like GoodReads to set yourself a reading challenge for the year. You can also add an element of competition by following what friends are reading.
Join a book club. Joining in a book club is a perfect solution for people who like to combine reading with socializing. 【5】 Belonging to a book club where others choose stretches you beyond your habit of reading.
Making more time for reading doesn’t have to be a chore, and your life will be all the richer for it.
A.Set a challenge.
B.Connect with book lovers online.
C.It can also inspire you to try new types.
D.So how can we make reading a regular habit?
E.They are such a good way to increase your reading.
F.There are plenty of ways to build up a reading community.
G.Even just 15 minutes will see you finish an average-length book in 20 days
25、We had just completed a unit on community heroes, and my kindergarten class assignment was to draw their favorite hero. Each child was occupied in _______ colorful drawings. Several students had _______ to draw their brothers and sisters or moms and dads. _______, one little boy named Cameron was having difficulty with the task. He was on the autism spectrum (自闭症谱系), but that didn’t _______ to me or his classmates. We all loved him just the way he was.
I sat and watched as Austin, another little boy in my class, _______ Cameron. Austin had a wonderful way of interacting with Cameron, and assisted him _______his hero. Within a few minutes, Cameron began drawing blue lines on his paper.
_______, it was time for everybody to _______ their hero pictures. I listened carefully to each student’s _______ of his or her hero. It was finally Cameron’s ________ to present his hero. Cameron stood up and anxiously________his drawing in front of his face for the purpose of avoiding eye contact. We all fixed our eyes on the picture. He then said it was a picture of me. He added that I helped him learn things and then sat down in relief. Tears began to form in my eyes, but I hadn’t ________ myself for what happened next.
When Austin stood up and shared his picture, I was ________ it would be a policeman, but he ________ me when he proudly held up a picture of Cameron. He said Cameron was his________because he had a sickness that made it________to learn, but he was like Superman and was really brilliant. Cameron immediately stood up, and suddenly put his arms up in the air as if he were going to ________and fly. He ________ yelled out, “I’m Superman!” The entire class began striking Superman poses, too. Within minutes, we were all laughing.
What had initially started out as a simple________on community heroes had transformed into a moment that changed my understanding of teachers’________ . Teachers should lead their children in discovering their own amazing qualities and helping them find their inner superhero.
