25、   Paul awoke to the sound of the alarm clock. Normally, this would be followed by feelings of worry about the day ahead. But today was different. Today he couldn’t wait to go to school.

He rushed to his desk and picked up the old jam jar which contained a colorful butterfly. It had taken him hours to catch and now it was going to be part of his biology presentation for school.

While most of his classmates would be showing drawings of insects or animals taken from textbooks, Paul planned to present something different ---- a live creature. This was sure to get him the highest grade in the class.

Paul sat at his desk admiring the insect’s beautiful red and yellow wings. He had made air holes in the jar’s lid, and added leaves for the butterfly to eat. It might be in a glass prison but at least it was being well cared for, Paul thought as he left for school.

Paul entered the classroom early, and put the jar in his desk. Biology was the first lesson after lunch and he wanted his presentation to be a surprise. After taking the jar from his bag, he noticed the butterfly was very still. Its wings moved very slowly and its color seemed to have faded too. Probably just a little tired from the trip in the bag, Paul hoped.

Throughout the morning, Paul secretly checked on the insect. Each time it seemed a little stiller, its color a little duller. Something was wrong. When the lunch-bell rang, he waited for his classmates to leave before opening the jar. The butterfly was still alive, but only just.

He took the jar to the bathroom and sprinkled a few drops of water on the butterfly’s head. The cooling effect was instant. The butterfly came to life again and Paul barely managed to replace the lid before it flew out. But rather than pleasure, the sight of the revived butterfly crashing against the jar, desperate for freedom, made Paul feel guilty. He was being cruel for a mark.

As he walked back to class, feeling ashamed, the bell went again. It was time for Biology. He walked over to the window, opened the jar and set the butterfly free. A moment later the biology teacher entered. "Paul，your presentation’s first today."

"Sorry sir," the boy replied，” I forgot all about it."

【1】What can we guess about Paul from the passage?

A. He often caught animals. B. He did not usually enjoy school.

C. He was a very clever student. D. He was sometimes quite cruel.

【2】Why was Paul confident that his biology project would receive a high grade?

A. Because biology was his favourite subject.

A. refreshed B. returned C. replaced D. relieved

【4】Why did Paul finally free the butterfly?

A. It was time for class. B. It was no longer very active.

28、The young idol with positive energy

A fine example has endless power. As a pop star, he is q【1】 popular in Asia with more than 70 million followers on Weibo. As a role model, he was chosen by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)（联合国环境规划署）as the UN Environment National Goodwill Ambassador(亲善大使) in April 2018.

The example m【2】 above is the Chinese singer and actor Wang Junkai, or Karry Wang, the leader of TFBOYS. As UNEP’s y【3】 ambassador, Wang attended a United Nations(UN) meeting in Kenya on March 14. He gave a speech in English on sustainable(可持续的) fashion.

In an i【4】 after the meeting, Wang said that he would like to spread the concept(观念) of environmental protection a【5】 the world, and to build a better sustainable future for humans and our planet.

In fact, it’s not the first time that Wang has contributed to h【6】 people understand the importance of protecting the world. In 2016, Wang widely shared the wildlife activities, reaching 400 million viewers. A year later, he publicly spoke out on the urgent need to protect wildlife in d【7】. He named them “the superstars of the planet”.

Besides drawing attention to wildlife, he also called on his f【8】 to pledge(许诺) to reduce e-waste. Within 24 hours, his post was s【9】 1.67 million times, and more than 400, 000 followers signed the pledge.

According to Wang, young people are no l【10】 onlookers when it comes to environmental action; nor should they be. “I will spare no effort to do everything I can to take care of our earth. And I invite everyone to join me,” he said.
