Spotted lanternflies (斑点灯笼蝇) are an invasive species. Since 2014, they have been seen all across the eastern United States. The insects are harmful to many plants, and can disturb entire ecosystems. State officials have urged people to kill spotted lanternflies wherever they see them.

When Joy saw the pests in her school courtyard, she thought she had to do something. “I’ve always wanted to take environmental action,” she says, “and show people that no one is ever too small to make a difference.”

So she started a club called Squash (压扁). Its mission is to kill spotted lanternflies around the school. More than 20 students have joined. At first, they trapped the pests in empty water bottles and then squashed them. In a single day, the club managed to kill more than a hundred spotted lanternflies.

Joy wanted to do more. With research, she discovered a plant called milkweed. It’s nutritious for pollinators (传粉昆虫) such as monarch butterflies but poisonous to spotted lanternflies. Joy thought that using milkweed along with the traps made specifically for spotted lanternflies would be a better way to kill them. The issue was that they didn’t have enough money to buy milkweed and the traps.

The kids were hoping to raise money for their school to address the big problem. Their goal was to raise $200, the cost of the equipment needed to kill spotted lanternflies around their school. They got part of the way there, with about $75. They decided to attract more fundraisers. “We discovered that if you find your voice,” Joy says, “you can do much more.”

In May, Joy and other students from Squash gathered in Columbus Park, in New York City. They set up a table with lemonade, cookies, and origami figures for sale. The money will be used to buy milkweed and the traps.

In China, the use and cultivation (种植) of green tea goes back thousands of years. While there is no precise way to know     1    (exact) when green tea was first cultivated, the following is     2    we know from historical records.

Legend assigns the discovery of tea to mythological emperor Shennong, who is said     3    (discover) tea in the 28th century BC. Shennong was sitting under a tea tree boiling a pot of water to drink. Some     4    (leaf) fell from the tree into the boiling water, creating the first ever pot of tea. During the Han Dynasty, written records referred     5    the cultivation of green tea. However, this wasn`t green tea for drinking     6    for medical purposes. The Tang Dynasty     7    (consider) by most to be the golden age of Chinese arts and culture.

5 . Flowing through winding streets of London were smells, so common during the Great Plague (瘟疫) of the 17th century that they almost meant the plague itself, historians said. For hundreds of years, people believed that disease was spread not through tiny drops or insect bites, but through taking in unpleasant smells. To purify the air around them, they would burn rosemary and hot tar.

Now, as the world faces another widespread outbreak, a team of historians and scientists from six European countries is seeking to identify and categorize the most common smells of daily life across Europe from the 16th century to the early 20th century and to study what changes in smells over time reveal about society.

The project will search through more than 250,000 images and thousands of texts, including medical textbooks, novels and magazines in seven languages. Researchers will use machine learning and AI to analyze references to smells. Once they are cataloged, researchers, working with chemists and perfumers, will re-create roughly 120 smells with the hope that museums will incorporate some of them into exhibits to make visits more immersive (沉浸式的) or memorable to museum-goers. The use of smells in exhibits could also make museums more accessible for blind people and those with limited sight, historians said.

“With smell, you can open up questions about national culture, global culture and differences between communities,” said Dr. Inger Leemans, a professor of cultural history at Vrije University Amsterdam. He said that introducing smells into museums or classrooms leads people to open up in discussions in ways they do not always do when discussing other issiues of national identity. “It is such an open topic and what we want to do is think about how we can bring history to the nose.”

1. What does the writer intend to do by Paragraph 1?

3. What does the underlined word “incorporate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Include.

B．Break.

C．Change.

D．Create.

4. What’s Dr. Inger Leemans’ attitude towards the project?

A．Sceptical.

B．Ambiguous.

C．Supportive.

D．Negative.

6 . Some Ways to Boost Your Children's Self-confidence

Self-doubt, which is a normal part of children's growing up, always tells you, “You can't do that, you aren't good enough or you might fail.”     1     Fortunately, there are strategies that can help build self-confidence in your children so that their sound inside doesn't hold them back.

·Breathing. Deep breathing helps people to be aware in the moment and not to worry about the past or have doubts about the future.     2     So why not relax and try it with your children? Meanwhile, you can encourage your children to understand that the critical voice inside is not something that defines them and let pressure and the negative thoughts go.

·    3     You can let your children spend time with friends and family so that they can feel they are with people who are on their team. Friends can help them celebrate achievements and are especially important when they are going through hard times. Keep reminding them that you're on their side.

·Abilities. Recognize their strengths and abilities and nurture these. If they enjoy dancing, dance. If they like chess, play it together. Just spend time doing things they love.     4     Focus on what your children love and are good at instead so they can thrive.

·Values. Teach them to value their thoughts and feelings by letting them know these are important.     5    Although speaking up can seem scary sometimes, it works. You can start by encouraging them to put their hand up in class and share their ideas.

A．Relationships.

B．Achievements.

C．Let them voice their opinions.

D．It also reduces stress and calms the mind.

E．The inner voice is with all of us and will always be.

F．It is challenging and undesirable to do some deep breathing.

G．Don't spend all your time and energy fixing their weaknesses.

7 . Can plastic recycling reduce the import of oil? The United States Environmental Protection Agency says only seven percent of plastic waste in the United States is recycled each year. A new company in northern New York says it can increase that percentage. It also says it can help the United States reduce the amount of oil it imports.

The company has a machine called the “plastic-eating monster”. Every hour, thousands of kilograms of milk jugs, water bottles, and grocery bags are fed into the machine. The plastic waste comes from landfills across the United States.

John Bordynuik runs the company, called JBI Inc. Mr. Bordynuik has invented a new process of turning plastic into fuel. First, many different kinds of unwashed plastics are melted together. Mr. Bordynuik uses a special chemical to turn the fluid into a vapor. This reduces the plastic to its most basic elements. “Plastics are just long hydrocarbon chains. What we’re doing is re-forming them into links and chains that we want so they have a high fuel value.” Eight percent of the recycled plastic is used to run the system. Independent testers say eighty-six percent of what goes in comes out as fuel.

JBI produces several thousand liters of fuel a day. It creates different grades of fuel for different industries. It sells the fuel for up to one hundred dollars a barrel(桶). Each barrel costs about ten dollars to produce. John Bordynuik believes plastics will become an important source of fuel for the United States. He says this will reduce the country’s dependence on foreign oil and reduce the amount of plastic waste in its landfills.

Scientists say plastic-to-oil technology is still new and developing. They say it is not yet known if the process is environmentally friendly. And some question whether turning plastic into oil can even be considered “recycling”. Carson Maxted says because there is a lot of plastic waste and a great demand for oil, JBI’s recycling technology may create great changes in both industries. “So they’re getting value from something that would otherwise go to the landfill, things that wouldn’t be accepted into a recycling plant.”

1. What are Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly about?

A．The formation of JBI.

B．The way to melt plastic.

C．The process of turning plastic into fuel.

D．The process of inventing the plastic-eating monster.

2. What’s John Bordynuik’s attitude toward plastic recycling?

A．Critical.	B．Positive.
C．Negative.	D．Indifferent.

3. What can we infer from what Carson Maxted said?

A．Plastic-to-oil technology can reduce plastic waste.

B．Plastic-to-oil technology is getting value from the landfill.

C．Plastic-to-oil technology is considered to be recycling.

D．Plastic-to-oil technology is regarded as environmentally friendly.

4. How does the author mainly support his idea?

A．By listing facts.	B．By analyzing causes.
C．By making comparison.	D．By providing an example.
