（2023•江西抚州•金溪一中校联考一模）A boy won people’s hearts after he came up with a heartwarming use
for his birthday money: launching a food bank service from his garden shed (棚屋). Isaac Winfield, who was born
with a rare chromosome (染色体) disorder, started the initiative in 2020 after learning that his new school didn’t
accept food donations.
The boy’s mother, Claire, said, “We’d always donated to food banks and during the pandemic he would take food
parcels into school which would be given to people in need. When Isaac moved from a mainstream school to a
specialist school, he was left confused as to what he was going to do with his food parcels.”
“Being determined, Isaac said, ‘It’s alright; I’ll give them food at my house.’” the 42-year-old continued. “So I
doubled the money I gave him normally for food parcels and he went off to Aldi. With a little bit of help, he put all
the food he bought in a little greenhouse with some lights and started offering it from there. Someone spotted it and
put it on one of those Facebook community sites, and then people came with donations. The greenhouse lasted four
weeks before he had to get a shed because we ran out of room.”
“In 2021, we were funded a bigger shed. Isaac ran his little shed and his big shed on the big driveway,” she added.
Today, well-wishers can donate food or ask for supplies by contacting Isaac via his Friend’s of Isaac Food Bank
Facebook page. The boy fills bags of groceries that have been donated and hands them out to the needy around his
hometown. Those in need can also directly visit his food bank sheds and help themselves to whatever they require.
This year, Isaac asked his family and friends to make food bank donations instead of buying him gifts for his 11th
birthday. “Isaac has always been kind-hearted,” said Claire. “I think he has been doing something great by helping
others. He can’t read or write but he can fundraise.”
4．What directly made Isaac Winfield launch his food bank service?
A．The difficulty of getting enough food parcels.
B．His school’s refusal to accept food donations.
C．His desire to get on well with others at school.D．The spread of the pandemic in his new school.
5．What does the underlined word “Aldi” in paragraph 3probably refer to?
A．A school. B．A shed.
C．A supermarket.D．A food bank.
6．What plays a key role in the expansion of Isaac Winfield’s food bank?
A．The social support. B．His increasing savings.
C．His school’s encouragement. D．The growing demand for food.
7．How does the author mainly organize the text?
A．By listing Isaac’s moving life stories. B．By using Isaac’s mother’s statements.
C．By making a list of Isaac’s daily routines. D．By referring to comments on Isaac’s deeds.

（2023•山东菏泽•统考一模）You’ve ordered a new pair of shoes online. They arrive; you rush to the front door
and carry the box as you open it. You untie the laces, guide them toward your feet and they don’t fit.
So, back in the box they go and an hour later you drop them at the local collections store. It’s disappointing. The
shoes have never been worn and they’ll be making their way to a new home soon. Right? Wrong.
What does happen to our goods when we order online and then return them? The reality is that much of it simply
ends up in landfill (垃圾场). Each year, 5 billion pounds of waste is generated through returns in the world. In the
US alone, customers return approximately 3.5 billion products, of which only 20% are actually faulty according to
Optoro, a company which specializes in tackling the returns.
It turns out that returns create a real headache for companies. Many companies simply don’t have the technology to
handle these faults in returned goods, so it is often most profitable for them to sell them cheaply to discounters via a
web of shipping, driving and flying them around the globe, or to simply truck them to the dump.
Optoro’s software helps retailers (零售商) and manufacturers resell unsold goods more easily. They offer a number
of options for retailers, including a website to resell their goods, called Blinq, as well as helping with re-routing
goods to donation, store shelves, Amazon or eBay. They estimate their work helps reduce landfill waste by 70%.
Ann Starodaj, Senior Director of Sustainability at Optoro, says that while consumer habits might still be harmful,
creating a profitable and environmentally friendly fashion model from start to finish is the way forward. “I don’t
think people are going to stop buying stuff, but creating a business model where you’re making it easier for them to
make sustainable choices is very important.”
8．What are the statistics in Paragraph 3 about?A．Waste disposal.B．Goods delivery.
C．Clothing fashion. D．Waste returns.
9．Why do returns become a real headache for companies?
A．Very little profit can be made. B．Related technology is not available.
C．Goods are damaged on purpose. D．No places can be found to bury them.
10．What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A．A difficult task.B．A marketing plan.
C．A practical solution.D．A producing process.
11．What does Ann Starodaj want to convey?
A．Returns are easy to deal with.
B．People should stop buying goods online.
C．Consumer habits bring about harmful results.
D．It is vital to create a sustainable business model.

（2023•福建福州•统考二模）Someday, you may no longer need to brush your teeth by hand. Instead, a group of
billions of nanoparticles (纳米粒子) could automatically do all that work for you. It would be especially life-
changing for people who find it difficult or impossible to hold and move a toothbrush.
Steager, an engineer at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) in Philadelphia and Hyun Koo, an inventor and dental
researcher there, found a way to form the nanoparticles into long, skinny bristles (刷毛), a lot like the ones on a
toothbrush. But these bristles shape-shift to fit whatever surface they encounter.
The tooth-cleaning robot works thanks to two magnets (磁铁). One goes each side of the teeth. The nanoparticles
sit in a liquid between the magnets. When the magnets are turned off, the nanoparticles move randomly in the
liquid. As soon as one magnet gets turned on, the nanoparticles gather together near its center. When the researchers
turn on the other magnet and turn off the first one, the nanoparticles extend outward in long, skinny bristles. When
there’s a tooth in the way, these bristles can’t stretch out as far as they want. So they push against the tooth’s
surface. If there’s a gap between teeth, they push into the gap. Moving the magnets makes the bristles move against
and between teeth. All that motion cleans the teeth. As a bonus, the nanoparticles also have strong power to kill
viruses.
The new device is just a proof of concept. The researchers still need to turn it into a product that people will want to
use. “There’s a lot of engineering to get from here to there, but every good idea needs to have a start. ” says Steager.12．What is special about the tooth cleaner?
A．It’s water-proof.
B．It’s transformable.
C．It looks like a toothbrush.
D．It contains skinny bristles.
13．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The working principle.
B．The magnets’ motion.
C．The virus-killing process.
D．The bristles’ formation.
14．How does Steager feel about the future of the device?
A．Uncertain.
B．Confident.
C．Concerned.
D．Surprised.
15．Which of the following would be the best title?
A．A Tooth-Cleaner Fighting Bacteria
B．A Breakthrough in Medicine
C．A Shape-Shifting Robotic Tooth-Cleaner
D．A New Concept for a New Start
