Pooja Rai was a young architecture student in 2014 when she went with a friend to give food to a local
orphanage. She was surprised at what she saw.
Kids were playing with anything they could get their hands on. One group was rolling around a broken metal
pipe. Two boys were trying to play badminton, using old shoes as rackets. “Play shouldn’t just be part of a rich
kid’s lifestyle. All kids have a right to enjoy their childhoods.” Rai says.
Over the next few weeks, she talked with friends about collecting money for a playground. And that’s when
she thought of old tires. Around 100 million tires are thrown away in India every year. Could they reuse them as
playground materials and help the environment, too?
That idea became a reality in 2015, using old tires—all cleaned, carefully looked over to make sure they are
safe to use, and painted in bright colors. The following year, she created Anthill Creations, which has built 275
playgrounds across India—celebrating the power of play in public spaces orphanages, and schools.
“Our work always begins with talks with kids about what they want from this space.” says Rai. Sometimes it
can take a few hours, or a few visits, until children are ready to open up. She also draws on her experience as an
architect. “I found that spaces are powerful in shaping people’s behavior.” she says.
Most of the play spaces Rai designs feature large tire sculptures of cars, buildings, or animals, paired with
more classic elements of swings and jungle gyms.
In one girl’s school in Bengaluru, the children wanted their play space to be shaped into a boxing ring, with
tires doubling up as punching bags. “Their teacher was unsure about it.” Rai remembers. “But the girls said theydidn’t want people to see them as weak. They wanted to practice self-defense and grow stronger.” In December
2019, this playground became a reality.
41．What did Rai find out about the kids in a local orphanage?
A．They behaved badly. B．They were badly treated.
C．They had nothing to do but play. D．They were short of play equipment.
42．What did Rai do with the thrown-away tires?
A．She renewed them in a tire shop.
B．She turned them into artistic works.
C．She used them to design play spaces.
D．She sold them to raise money for hungry kids.
43．What did Rai take into consideration when carrying out her work?
A．Children’s needs. B．Children’s experiences.
C．Her favourite childhood games. D．An architect friend’s suggestions.
44．What can we learn about the girls from the last paragraph?
A．They needed to build their confidence.
B．They wanted to win their teachers’ trust.
C．They finally had their dream playground.
D．They often helped with collecting old tires.
45．Which of the following can best describe Rai?
A．Talented and hard-working. B．Creative and kind-hearted.
C．Realistic and lonely. D．Poor but caring.
C
Some people worry that there’s too much technology in our lives. And they may have a point, given how
countless people now carry the internet around in their pocket and use it as a primary form of communication. It’s
practically difficult to shun technology in our world. There are computer microchips (微芯片) in our watches, our
cars, light switches, even our pets! Where will it end?
Well, if certain people have their way, it’ll go even further. We’ll have microchips implanted into our brains
that can interact with the computers by thought alone. It may sound like something from the science fiction, but in
many ways, things look quite promising. Thanks to the ability to send and receive information remotely via
computers, microchips and other related devices have long been put into brains.
For example, electrodes have been implanted in the brains of epilepsy patients to better record and evenpredict the abnormal neurological (神经病学的) activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulation, through implanted
devices that cause activity in key brain regions, is an established treatment for things like -Parkinson’s disease, and
is even being looked into for illnesses like depression.
However, it’s another thing to place such devices in healthy individuals. There are the practical concerns, not
least of which is what these chips will be made of. The inside of the brain is a mass of highly reactive chemicals
and electrical activity. Implants would need to be inert (静止的) enough to not upset the delicate processes by their
presence, but also sensitive enough to read and process the activity around them. Current technology has made
impressive progress with this, but if it were to be rolled out to millions of people, we’d need to be 100 per cent
certain that it’s safe.
How many people will actually want to have technology literally put into their brain? A surprising 60 per cent
of Americans say they’d be okay with it, but that’s when it’s purely. theoretical. In reality, the possibility of having
strangers stick chips in your brain is likely to prove unattractive, especially for a population where millions get mad
at fictional microchips in vaccines (疫苗), and even more are frightened of dentists.
Ultimately, the technology of computer-brain interface (接口) implants is still far away from us.
46．What’s the function of the first paragraph?
A．A summary of the article. B．An introduction to the main topic.
C．An overview of the whole article. D．An argument over the main topic.
47．What does the underlined word “implanted” mean in paragraph 2?
A．To put something into someone’s body by an operation.
B．To design something new over a period of time.
C．To prevent something from changing rapidly.
D．To get rid of something steadily.
48．What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 3?
A．The process of human-computer interaction.
B．The possible treatment for particular diseases.
C．The future of microchips and devices alike.
D．The existing application of microchip implants.
49．How may most Americans react to implanting chips in the brain in reality?
A．They may reject it. B．They may expect it.
C．They may adjust to it. D．They may feel curious about it,
50．Which word can best describe the technology of computer-brain interface implants?A．Imaginary. B．Practical.
C．Unfulfilled. D．Impossible.
D
In today’s digital age, where a vast ocean of information is just a click away, the question arises: can one learn
too much? Given that no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge. However, there exists a
phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information.
Consider a scenario where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive
research, diving deep into the subject. As you absorb more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your
understanding diminishes. Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more
complex and out of reach.
This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit of more information. Although gaining comprehensive
knowledge is valuable, that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this pursuit
obstructs practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck,
unable to achieve your desired outcomes.
An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and
doing. Gather essential information, then transition into action swiftly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This
is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot.
The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting
and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall
what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually mastered. This method is applicable
to goal achievement too. By engaging in action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you
gradually move closer to your goals.
In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action.
Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge
and applying it that we can truly progress towards our aspirations. This balanced approach is key to overcoming the
paralysis of overlearning and actively moving towards realizing your ambitions.
51．What problem does the digital age present in learning?
A．Too much information. B．Learning to inaction.
C．Online distractions. D．Technical issues.
52．What stops people from achieving the goal?
A．The distraction caused by unrelated tasks.B．The inability to find relevant information.
C．The confusion caused by the information.
D．The desire to learn basic concept or strategy.
53．Why is practical experience important in the learning process?
A．It replaces continuous learning.
B．It is irrelevant in gaining knowledge.
C．It holds back theoretical understanding.
D．It offers a comprehensive understanding.
54．The example “baby learning to walk” mentioned in Paragraph 5 is used to ________.
A．compare different learning styles
B．show the importance of making mistakes
C．emphasize the need for parental guidance
D．explain learning through action and experience
55．What makes the best title for the passage?
A．The Paradox of Information Overload B．The Harmony of Learning and Doing
C．The Pursuit of Balanced Knowledge D．The Process of Learning to Walk

When 16-year-old Colin Moore is out on the football field, he is putting his heart into the game and looks just
like any other teenage athlete out there. But what makes him different than the rest, is that he’s playing without part
of his arm.
Moore was born without the lower part of his right arm, but he’s never let that stop him from achieving
anything he’s put his mind to in his life, including football. “I’ve always had to have a mind of steel, heart of gold,
and just move forward no matter what.” Moore said.
Although his arm difference has never got in the way of anything, it’s been a challenge for him. But in
everything he does, he’s worked twice as hard as everyone else to make sure he would succeed. Moore’s goal is tobe a starting center, which requires a lot of body strength. Even though he is missing an arm, he makes up for it
with his fast movements and strength, making him the perfect choice for this position.
Moore looks up to the Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, and aims to be just like him one day. Moore’s
hard work even got him noticed by his hero. After seeing a video of Moore playing football, Kelce sent him one
back. Kelce told Moore that his perseverance is a great encouragement to him. He even invited Moore to join him
and the Eagles at their training camp so they could meet him.
Moore’s coach Frank Holmes agrees with Kelce and compliments Moore’s perseverance. “The thing I can say
about Colin is this: he was born with a challenging situation, but every day he has a positive attitude and focuses
fully on whatever he does. He trains hard.”
