As a child in the 1970s, Prigi would swim, play and bath in the waters of the Surabaya River that flowed near his home. The water of the flowing river was clean enough to safely drink, and so clear that he’d look down and see his toes touching the sandy bottom of the river.
Prigi left his home in 1994 to study biology at Airlangga University. During a visit home two years later, Prigi was shocked to find the once clear river now dark brown and smelly. The river bed felt slimy （黏滑的） under his feet. Worse still, after only a very short swim, he itched （痒） all over.
Prigi set up a study group to find out why. The group studied the river, doing water sampling, and collecting information about the kinds of birds, insects, micro-organisms and fishes that still lived in and around the river. Tests confirmed they all had a range of heavy metals in their systems, such as zinc, lead and mercury, which were from harmful chemical waste from a paper factory built in the 1990s.
In 2003, Prigi launched the Surabaya River Detective Program to teach children how to collect environmental data, to observe and record the population of insects, micro-organisms, and fish in the river. Around 800 children, who take on the title of “river warrior”, have participated in the program and created informational books, posters, films, and press releases to gain the attention of the public and the government. In April 2008, the local governor set a maximum daily limit for chemical waste, and required all companies to release only treated wastewater into the river. Today, the Surabaya River is much clearer and children have even started to swim in the river.
Much of Prigi’s success has come from raising awareness among locals of the role the river plays in their lives. Today, locals work with scientists and local authorities to protect the river’s biodiversity wonders for future generations.
（ ）24．What aspect of the Surabaya River surprised Prigi in 1996
A．Changeable color. B．Dangerous river bed.
C．Decreased water level. D．Serious water pollution.
（ ）25．What was the finding of Prigi’s study group
A．Heavy metal s influenced biodiversity.
B．The paper factory was to blame for pollution.
C．The Surabaya River was home to many rare species.
D．Chemical waste caused serious diseases among humans.
（ ）26．How did children in the Surabaya River Detective Program raise people’s awareness
A．By drafting regulations. B．By spreading information.
C．By conducting researches. D．By clearing pollutants away.
（ ）27．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．The River Guardian
B．The Crying Surabaya River
C．Disturbing Heavy Metal Pollution
D．Innovative Environmental-friendly Campaign

When physicist Stephen Hawking died in 2018 at the age of 76, the world mourned （哀悼）. after the loss, there remains the enormous legacy of the scientist and the man to consider.
Despite being a renowned expert in cosmology and black holes, there is still much to discover about Hawking. In Stephen Hawking: A memoir of friendship and physics, theoretical physicist Leonard Mlodinow offers a close glimpse inside the famous scientist’s life, ranging from his early days at university and diagnosis at age 21 with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis to his later status as an international celebrity.
After co-authoring two books with Hawking, Mlodinow isn’t short of stories, particularly from time spent working together on their book The Grand Design. Hawking lived a colourful life often filled with hardship, and the possibility of death was never far away. Far from letting this be a setback, it is what Hawking credit s for his achievements. “It helped me focus,” he tells Mlodinow after dinner one night.
Even so, Mlodinow admits that initially he couldn’t help but feel sorry for Hawking, living with a condition that required round-the-clock care and eventually left him unable to speak or voluntarily move anything but his eyes, brows and mouth. However, writes Mlodinow, “overtime all that pity would disappear like one of Stephen’s black holes”, adding that it “occurred to me that Stephen had proved himself to be an iron man in a fragile man’s fa ade （外表）”. That view becomes one that readers will also tend to adopt as Mlodinow looks back.
Achievement came in many forms for Hawking, who refused to be restricted in thought or deed. As Mlodinow writes: “Often we limit our chances at success by limiting the goals toward which we strive. Stephen never did that. We can get used to anything, and we can accomplish, if not anything, then at least much more than we give ourselves credit for. To grow close to Stephen was to understand this.”
（ ）28．What can we learn about Mlodinow
A．He was one of Hawking’s friends.
B．He worked to r Hawking for many years.
C．He wrote two books about Hawking’s life.
D．He was the strongest competitor for Hawking.
（ ）29．How did Mlodinow feel about Hawking’s living condition at first
A．Admiring. B．Sympathetic. C．Envious. D．Puzzled.
（ ）30．What can we infer about Hawking from the last paragraph
A．He kept pushing his limits. B．He had extraordinary talent.
C．He was good at educating others. D．He was a man with definite goals.
（ ）31．What is the purpose of this text
A．To praise a relationship. B．To introduce a book.
C．To honor a breakthrough. D．To promote a physics theory.
D
When learning a foreign language, most people fall back on traditional methods: reading, writing, listening and repeating. But if you also gesture with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later. Linking a word to brain areas responsible for movement strengthens the memory of its meaning. This is the recent finding of neuroscientist Mathias and his colleagues.
As Mathias’ team describes in the Journal of Neuroscience, they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented artificial words (such as “lamube” for “camera,” and “atesi” for “thought”） over four days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary, they were shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word at the same time. When the word was repeated, the subjects performed the gesture themselves.
Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German in a multiple-choice test. At the same time, they had equipment attached to their heads that sent weak distracting signals to their primary motor cortex—the brain area that controls voluntary arm movements. When these signals were active, the subjects found it harder to recall the words accompanied by gestures. When the equipment sent no distracting signals (but still appeared to the subjects to be active), they found it easier to remember the words. The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures. This applied to concrete words, such as “camera”, as well as abstract ones, such as “thought”.
The study indicates that the adult brain uses motor areas to remember foreign-language words. “I think we under-use gesture in our classrooms,” Mathias says. “People use it subconsciously, if they’re good teachers and good listeners, but we don’t necessarily bring it into the class if we don’t think about it—and it could be used more often and more effectively.”
（ ）32．Which is closest in meaning to “invented artificial words” in paragraph 2
A．Technical terms.
B．Newly discovered symbols.
C．Words referring to the latest inventions.
D．Random combination of letters with assigned meanings.
（ ）33．Why was equipment attached to subjects’ heads during the test
A．To count words. B．To record emotion.
C、To influence brain activity. D．To give clues to questions.
（ ）34．What does Mathias think of the current use of gestures in classrooms
A．Irregular. B．Over-estimated. C．Misleading. D．Inadequate.
（ ）35．In which section of a magazine may this text appear
A．Fashion. B．Lifestyle. C．Mind & Brain. D．Health & Exercise.

五、One possible version:
As a senior 3 student, I have been busy with my study and seldom do any housework. Last Sunday, I decided to surprise my parents by giving the rooms a thorough cleaning.
Firstly, I collected newspapers, books, and snacks scattered in the rooms and put them in place. Then I wiped the dust off all the furniture. After that, I swept and mopped the floors.
My parents were quite surprised to see all the rooms were neat and tidy. Tired as I was, I felt a sense of achievement after seeing satisfaction in their eyes. Doing these chores can help me not only improve some basic life skills but also understand my parents’ daily efforts better.

M: Well, we have social get-togethers, and sports events, and we also have language evenings.
W: Could you tell me something about the language evenings

M: What are you going to do for the spring break
W: My parents want to take my sister and me to Rome. But I don’t really want to go abroad.

M: Well, maybe you can listen to some relaxing music during the flight.
W: I will have a try.
M: Look at the pictures of museums in Rome on my cell phone.

W: Johnny, did you go to the exhibition of paintings held in the city gallery yesterday afternoon
M: Yes, I did, partly.
W: What do you mean
M: Well, I went there and me t some Portugal and Spanish paintings in the Room 1, but they weren’t as appealing as I had expected. So I left the city gallery soon.
W: Really Where did you go then
M: I went to the city library and read some painting books.
W: What paintings are you particularly interested in
M: Well, I like Chinese paintings, especially Chinese landscape paintings.
W: Yes! They are beautiful. Well then, I’m sure that you shouldn’t have left that early.
M: Why do you say so
W: Actually, apart from some western paintings, there were a great number of Chinese paintings, including some famous Chinese landscape paintings as well. You couldn’t have been bored if you had stayed.
M: Oh, what a pity! Would you accompany me to the exhibition after school
W: No problem! （停15秒）

M: Hi, Marina. Can I ask a few questions
W: Yes, go ahead.
M: As a photographer, you are quite successful. Can you tell me who can become a photographer
W: Anyone can become a photographer, as long as you want it. It’s not like you need a degree or certificate or anything. Yes, I’ve been planning to take photography classes in an art school in the UK, but before this, I’d already been working as a photographer for years—I started by using my phone in junior high. Some of my photographer friends do other jobs at the same time—they are music makers, vloggers and directors.
M: What does a photographer usually do
W: There are different kinds of photographers and our lives and work can be quite different, too. A National Geographic kind of photographer may travel to different places, taking photos of architecture, landscapes and animals. But fashion photographers like me, mainly do two things—commercial shoots and our own creative projects. The former is for making money and offering service to customers. The latter is for expression—we post these photos on our own social media, submit them to media outlets and contests, or host photographic exhibitions to show them off.
M: What makes a good photographer
W: For commercial shooting, there are some routines that we can follow and the most important thing is to meet the needs of our customers. For our own shoots, what matters most is that you have something that you want to express, and these things can be received or understood by a certain group of people who think similarly.
M: Thanks for having given the interview. （停20 秒）

M: Welcome to our program. Today’s topic is Getting Two Shy People to Talk to Each Other.
Perhaps you know two people aren’t intentionally avoiding one another when they first meet; it’s just not in their nature to start a conversation. Actually, you can help them. Don’t worry that your shy friends will feel uncomfortable. In fact, they might be grateful that you help them get past the initial awkwardness.
The first step to get two shy people to talk is to offer an introduction. If you see them sitting together but not talking, walk over and be an ice breaker. A brief introduction with a piece of information that ties them together will be most helpful.
Some shy people tend to tell themselves that they are not good enough. They think that everyone else is judging them. You may be able to help by building their social confidence and belief that they are liked.
Last but not least, figure out what your shy friends have in common and let them know about it. For example, if they are both into basketball, make a comment about the latest game. You might need to include yourself in the conversation at first, but once they become involved in their favorite topic, you can quietly slip away. （停20秒）
