【推荐3】Ms. Mota is one of the first teachers, especially art teachers, who have kept her word. A student was disruptive (制造混乱的) for many days. She actually got him out of the class. She’s not one of the teachers who are unfair saying “You’re going to get kicked out of my class if you keep up with this behavior”, and then don’t do anything about it. She makes sure if others want to be here, they are here without students who want to be disruptive.

She helps everyone at any time. I don’t know how she does it, but Ms. Mota will answer a student’s question at any time of the day. She never ignores any of her students. If we need help, Ms. Mota is always there.

We need paper, pencils, paints, clay, etc. in art classes, but the school doesn’t provide us with enough materials. Ms. Mota stands up for us. She wants her students to enjoy art, so she fights for materials. Of course not fighting with hands, but by using strong words. Besides, she brings so many materials for us. Any donations people give her, she brings in for her students. She wants us to know how to use these materials, and grow as artists. She wants us to grow as young adults who have fun with art but not to make art seem like a chore (讨厌的工作).

Ms. Mota is such an inspiration to me. I want to go into the field of teaching little kids art, and she helps bring that into my life more. I feel encouraged that I can learn more, and teach kindergarteners how to draw because Ms. Mota has taught me to this point.

【推荐1】Dear Betty,

My roommate’s family wants me to celebrate Thanksgiving Day with them in their home. I accepted the invitation, and I’m excited about going, but I’m a little nervous about it, too. The social customs in my country are different from those here, so I’m a little worried about making mistakes.

Should I bring a gift, such as candy or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I’m thankful for their kindness?

Yours,

Knowing Nothing

Dear Knowing Nothing,

It’s a good idea to bring a gift when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always welcome, or you can bring a bottle of wine if you know the family drink it.

You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you are going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.

Try to relax at the dinner table. If you don’t know how to use the right fork, knife or spoon, just watch the other guests, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, don’t be shy about asking the person next to you; it’s better to ask them than to be silently uncomfortable and nervous.

If you like the food, say so. Of course, you’ll thank the host and hostess for the meal and for their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a card to thank them the day after.

Yours,

Betty

【推荐2】Nobody ever imagined that after being lost for more than half a century, the intangible cultural heritage known as Gaolou Mixian would be restored and passed down by a young man. “As someone of Gaolou origin, I have a responsibility to restore our ancestors’ art form,” said Chen Guorui, the world’s only inheritor of this ancient art.

Gaolou Mixian uses rice paste(米糊)to glue together selected grains of transparent rice to create realistic figures or structures. It is a unique folk art that developed during the Qing Dynasty and reached its peak during the first half of the 20th century. Each household in Gaolou village would make rice structures that they put on display in their ancestral halls during the Chinese New Year, which attracted people from all sides.

However, due to the wet weather in southern China, these rice-made artworks would only last three to four months before losing their shape. It is for this reason that these works are not seen in museums in China. Due to various historical reasons, most people in Gaolou village did not pass down the art form, which caused it to disappear nearly 70 years ago.

Chen found out about this after hearing one former resident express disappointment about its loss. Curious, he started to do research and tried out the methods he heard about from older people in the village. After several months of exploration, Chen finally completed his first successful work.

Over the past five years, Chen has gradually improved his skills and even begun using new techniques, such as creating some colorful artworks with colored grains of rice. Since 2017, people at home and abroad have taken an interest in this long-lost art form. To avoid being the last inheritor(传承者), Chen has been giving classes to some students at a primary school in Fuzhou with the support of local education authorities.

A．It is mainly made of rice.	B．It is stable in wet environment.
C．It is a popular art form nationwide.	D．It was created for religious reasons.

2. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

4. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Chen Guorui’s Successful Works.

【推荐3】Humans need homes as safe havens to protect themselves from bad weather and threats from other animals and creatures. Birds also need habitats for survival.

Yet, climate change has posed a great threat to their habitats. To solve such habitat problems, China has recently recognized 1,140 sites as important breeding, wintering grounds, and migratory stops, with most of them located in wetlands. Wetlands include coastal areas with a water depth of no more than 6 meters at low tide, but exclude rice-grown fields and expanses of water used for aquaculture (水产业) and artificial breeding. Referred to as the “kidneys of the Earth” and as “species gene pools”, wetlands conserve clean water, maintain biodiversity, help contain floods and prevent droughts, reported China Daily.

To protect China’s wetlands, a law was introduced in 2022 to restrict construction at important national wetlands and ban harmful activities including land reclamation (土地开垦), overgrazing (过度放牧) , overharvesting and the discharging of wastewater. Since these measures have gone into effect, more birds have been spotted wintering in the nation’s wetlands. In February, the forestry bureau in Hunan province reported 72 species of water birds that spent this past winter at Dongting Lake, a region that stretches across several cities. Mallards and Eurasian cranes are among the birds which stay at the lake. Black-faced spoonbills (黑面琵鹭 ) , a rare and endangered species, were also spotted at Dongting after an absence of five years. The number of spoonbills has increased from 300 in the 1980s to more than 5,000 presently, according to the National Forestry and Grassland.

【推荐1】For sports fans, there's nothing better than watching a live event on TV or at a sports venue（场地）. But there's nothing worse than that event being called off because of bad weather. Bad light, a waterlogged pitch （场地）or excessive heat can cause matches to be postponed. But according to the latest research, extreme weather might be disrupting （打乱） the sporting calendar more than ever in the future.

In one sport, golf, major tournaments like The Open, are already predicted to be victims of our changing climate. In the UK, an organization called The Climate Coalition says that golf courses such as St Andrews could be under water by the end of the century if sea levels rise even slightly. It told the BBC that its research predicts ^u cancelled football matches, flooded cricket grounds and golf courses crumbling into the sea.”

The threat to sporting fixtures （体育赛事）from climate change has been further highlighted in a new report, commissioned by the Rapid Transition Alliance. Writing about this for the BBC, Matt McGrath says that ”By 2050, it's estimated that almost one in four English football league grounds can expect flooding every year." This will mean fewer matches played, less opportunity to watch the beautiful game and reduced revenue （收入） from ticket sales.

Cricket also faces huge challenges globally as temperatures rise in places like India, Australia and the West Indies. The report says that stadiums in Adelaide and Perth will see a 60% increase in days with temperatures over 40°C over the next decade.

Of course, we know that the solution lies with reducing our carbon footprint. We could travel less to attend sports events, and reduce our waste when we do go. But this latest report finds that sports leaders are generally failing to address the issue seriously. However, because sport is universally popular and can be very influential, maybe it should be players, teams and their sponsors who promote a carbon-neutral message to help protect sporting venues - before it's ‘ game over’.

1. According to the passage, the following sports will be affected by extreme weather except

A．golf

B．table tennis

C．football

D．cricket

2. Why might revenue from football league tickets be reduced by 2050?

A．The number of people who are interested in football matches is expected to decrease.

B．The number of football players is expected to decrease.

C．The prices of football tickets are expected to go down.

D．Some football grounds are expected to be flooded.

3. What can we learn from the passage?

A．Sports fans like watching a live event on TV better than at a sports venue.

B．Golf courses such as St Andrews could not be flooded if sea levels rise a little.

C．Cricket stadiums in Adelaide and Perth will get very hot over the next decade.

D．Sports leaders take the effects of climate change very seriously.

4. What's the best title for the passage?

A．Sport and Sporting Venues.	B．Sport and Challenges.
C．Sport and Climate Change.	D．Sport and Revenue.

【推荐2】Olympiads(奥林匹克竞赛)are a kind of competitive exam to tap exceptional students with the best of potential,talent,and IQ.These exams are conducted to challenge and motivate the brightest students from around the world and to urge more and more children to take up a career in pure science.But why do most parents nowadays want their children to participate in Olympiads?

Participating in and winning any kind of competition is one of the best feelings in the world.Competitions award merit(优点),performance,excellence—quite literally,the best in a human being.Thus,it might be understandable that:a lot of pride is associated with a child qualifying at any of the Olympiad levels.Who doesn’t want to be the proud parent of a smart,intelligent young child?

It has also been claimed that Olympiads can act as a great morale booster(信心增强剂).Bangalore-based programmer of Olympiad Helper,Vikash Anil says,“Even when students don’t win,their confidence grows.”

However,there are a number of serious considerations parents are missing out on,which has impacts on children.They are being burdened with the pressure of performing well in these exams—a pressure that is often too high and unhealthy for their young minds and bodies.They are also being introduced to peer pressure and“competition”in a very negative and ugly light.

What’s worse,the age at which children are being forced to take these exams keep dropping with each passing year.Children as young as 5 or 6 years old are being sent away to tuitions(辅导)right after school gets over.Many educationists are condemning this,because the International Science Olympiads is for high school students only.

The claim that Olympiads actually make children“more confident”cannot be readily accepted.While a lot of good outcomes are possible from Olympiads,it is also true that all students will not react positively to“failing”at Olympiads.More students are going to come out feeling miserable for having failed the exam.

Being a parent in today’s dynamic,commercial and material world is not easy.It is indeed a pity if parents are chasing“recognition”,rather than“excellence”and“merit”for their children.There is no such thing as a“good”,or a“poor”child.Parents should realize this,embrace this,and empower themselves and their children with this.

As a parting thought I would like to leave this Einstein quote:“Everybody is a genius.But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree,it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

1. Why do most parents want their children to participate in Olympiads?

A．To prove their children’s potential and excellence.

B．To prepare their children for a pure science career.

C．To strengthen their children’s competitive awareness.

D．To make their children benefit from stress and failures.

2. What is the author’s attitude to Vikash Anil’s words?

A．Doubtful.

B．Positive.

C．Disapproving.

D．Uninterested.

3. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Olympiads:Are Children Relying on Tuitions Too Much

B．Olympiads:Are Children Starting at a Too Young Age

C．Olympiads:Are Parents Being Driven by Commercials

D．Olympiads:Are Parents Becoming Over-Ambitious
