Turning Trash Into a Free Library
A second-grade education has not stopped garbage collector Jose Gutierrez. He is bringing
the gift of reading to thousands of Colombian (哥伦比亚的) children.
Gutierrez started saving books from the trash 27 years ago. He was driving a garbage truck教育资源分享店铺 网址：https://shop175591889.taobao.com 微信号：kingcsa333
at night through the country’s richer neighborhoods. The books that were thrown away
slowly piled up (堆积). Now the ground floor of his small house is a community library. It is
stacked (堆放) from floor to ceiling. They range from chemistry textbooks to children’s
classics.
Gutierrez says books are luxuries ( 奢 侈 品 ) for boys and girls in low-income
neighborhoods such as his. New reading material at bookstores is too expensive. There are
19 public libraries in Bogota, a city of 8.5 million people. But the libraries tend to be
located far away from poorer areas. “They should be in all neighborhoods and on each
corner of every neighborhood,” the 60-year-old says. “Books can save us. That is what
Colombia needs.”
Gutierrez has a love of reading. He says that comes from his mother. She always read
to him even though she was too poor to keep him in school. Gutierrez has traveled to book
fairs (展销会) in Mexico and Chile to share his experience of starting a library with the
books that are thrown away. “To me, books are the greatest invention and the best thing
that can happen to a human being.”
Gutierrez is a keen reader of works by authors such as Leo Tolstoy and Victor Hugo.
His favorite books include One Hundred Years of Solitude and The General in His Labyrinth
by Colombia’s Nobel Prize-winning novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The first book Gutierrez
found was a copy of the classic novel Anna Karenina. The Tolstoy book was later joined by
The Little Prince, Sophie’s World, The Iliad and a number of novels. Today, he has collected
around 25,000 books.
Gutierrez still looks through the rubbish for additions to his library, named “The
Strength of Words.” His fame as Colombia’s “Lord of the Books” has helped a lot. It
has brought him thousands
of donated books. He has sent many to other libraries around the country. He doesn’t
have room for
them all.
Gutierrez says he doesn’t reject (排斥) technology that allows books to be read
digitally. But he
prefers to read the printed words on paper. “There is nothing more beautiful than having a
book in your pocket, in your bag or inside your car,” he says.
59. Gutierrez started saving books from the trash when he was in his ________.
A. twenties B. thirties C. forties D. fifties
60. The underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 refers to “________.”
A. luxury shops B. public libraries C. garbage trucks D. second-hand bookstores
61. Based on the information in the article, which of the following books was written by a
Nobel
Prize-winning novelist?
A. Sophie’s World. B. Anna Karenina. C. The Little Prince. D. One Hundred Years of
Solitude.
62. What did the book Anna Karenina mean to Gutierrez?
A. A window to the world. B. Some comfort in difficult times.
C. The beginning of his charity project. D. One of his greatest achievements in life.
63. Which of the following statements is true according to the article?教育资源分享店铺 网址：https://shop175591889.taobao.com 微信号：kingcsa333
A. Gutierrez doesn’t enjoy digital reading because he believes printed books are easier to
carry.
B. Gutierrez has given many books to other libraries because he already had them in his
own library.
C. Gutierrez has received thousands of donated books because he has made quite a name
for himself.
D. Gutierrez left school when he was in Grade Two because there were not enough
textbooks in his
low-income neighborhood.
64. Which of the following sayings does Gutierrez’s story lead us to believe?
A. Actions speak louder than words. B. A good book can shine a light upon the
soul.
C. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. D. The palest ink is better than the best
memory.
B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短

A Deep Dive Into the Sport of Football
Football is an exciting sport, loved by millions of fans around the world. But if
there’s one thing
that most football fans don’t love, it’s watching players “take a dive.”
What does it mean to take a dive? Normally, diving ___65___ the act of jumping into
water with your head and arms going in first. There are plenty of common idioms related to
the word. For example, the company’s profits took a dive last year due to the COVID-19
pandemic. In football, however, taking a dive means that a player falls to the ground
___66___, and then he will roll around in agony, pretending to be hurt in order to gain a
free kick (任意球) or penalty (点球).
Instances of diving usually take place near the opposing team’s penalty area (禁区，
在本方禁
区内犯规将被判罚点球). As an attacking player gets close to a defender (后卫), he will
throw himself into the air and land in a dramatic way. Then he will roll around on the field,
holding his knee tightly with a ___67___ look on his face.
In most cases, the two players don’t even make ___68___. However, if the referee (裁判)
doesn’t
catch it, he will award the attacking player a free kick and/or give the defending player a
yellow or even red card. This is called “drawing a foul (造成犯规).” It now has become so
common in football
that players are often ___69___ by their coaches to perform it whenever they get the
chance.
Should something be done to stop the practice of diving in football? Of course! The教育资源分享店铺 网址：https://shop175591889.taobao.com 微信号：kingcsa333
FIFA’s rules state that players trying to ___70___ the referee through diving must be
punished by a yellow card. In November 2017, Everton (英超埃弗顿队) player Oumar Niasse
became the first player to be banned by the FIFA for diving, receiving a two-match ban75.
65. A. belongs to B. happens to C. prefers to D. refers to

Pig Heart Saves Humans
Doctors in the U.S. city of Baltimore have carried out the world’s first successful
transplant (器
官移植) of a pig’s heart into a human being. It’s hoped that the operation could make
transplants
p___71___ for many more people in need.
On January 7, 2021, the pig’s heart was taken to the hospital for a seven-hour
operation led by
Dr. Bartley Griffith. It was carried out on a 57-year-old man. Because of ill h___72___, he
could not
have a regular human heart transplant. The patient was said to be recovering (康复) well
during the
first few weeks after the operation. But sadly, he died two months later on March 8.
The pig was raised by a U.S. medical company called Revivicor. Its experts made
changes to
the pig’s heart to ensure that it would be accepted into the human body. Pigs are
particularly suitable
for transplants to humans because their organs (器官) are s___73___ in size and shape to
those of a
human being. Individual heart valves (瓣膜) from pigs and cows have already been used in
surgery
since the 1970s.
In order to produce a complete heart suitable for a human body, Revivicor bred an
animal with
ten edited pig genes (基因) and six human ones. Genes are complex chemicals carrying
instructions
that tell living things how to grow and develop. In this case, the genes ensured that the
pig’s heart
would s___74___ the human body from rejecting (排异) it and that the heart would keep教育资源分享店铺 网址：https://shop175591889.taobao.com 微信号：kingcsa333
repairing
itself.
Around 100,000 people in the U.S. and many more around the world need organ
transplants, but there aren’t e___75___ human donor organs. Scientists hope that pig
organs could make up the numbers.“If we could use genetically engineered (基因改造的) pig
organs, these people would never have to w___76___. They could basically get an organ on
demand,” said Dr. Christine Lau of the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
Others, however, aren’t happy about the surgery. People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals (PETA，善待动物组织) is a group that fights for the r___77___ of animals. They
said, “Animals
aren’t tool rooms to be raided (劫掠). Transplanting their organs into humans is extremely
risky and
Wrong.”
D．Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
Should Classroom Pets Be Banned?
For students across the United States, the start of the school year means meeting with
their new
teachers and classmates. Some will also be saying hello to their new classroom pets. Many
teachers
keep fish, hamsters (仓鼠) and other animals in their classrooms.
Teachers say students learn important lessons from having animals in the classroom.
According to American Humane (美国人道主义，一个动物和儿童福利组织), more than 70
percent of teachers who have classroom pets say that the animals help students to develop
a sense of responsibility. Research also shows that classroom pets can reduce stress. “Pets
are great companions (同伴) and can comfort kids who are having a bad day,” said Lisa
Robbins. She works for a group called Pets in the Classroom.
But others think pets should be removed from classrooms. They worry that the animals
might create problems for kids who have allergies (过敏) to animal hair. They are also
concerned about the
animals receiving the proper care they need. “Who will ensure that they are protected and
fed over weekends and during school breaks?” asked Andrew Burns, a school official.
Here’s what two students think.
Yes.
Schools should ban pets because pets can be a distraction. Some students might have
a hard time focusing during classes when there are animals in the classroom.
Plus, having a classroom pet can cause safety problems. You never know how an
animal will react (作出反应) to students. Even a cute little hamster might bite a kid who
sticks his or her hand in its cage.
In addition, being in a noisy classroom with kids poking at the cages can be stressful
for the animals. Students might also not know how to properly handle the animals. They教育资源分享店铺 网址：https://shop175591889.taobao.com 微信号：kingcsa333
could drop the pets or be rude to them.

Patrick McKinney
No.
Having classroom pets gives students a fun way to learn about animals and their
habitats (生活环境). In my class last year, we had a bearded dragon (鬃狮蜥) named Elliot
as our class pet. Our teacher also used him to teach us about different subjects. For
example, in math, we calculated how much it would cost to feed Elliot for a year.
Pets also help kids learn how to work as a team. My classmates and I took turns
feeding Elliot and cleaning his tank (缸).
If teachers are worried about students with allergies, they could get pets that don’t
have fur. Reptiles (爬行动物) like Elliot or fish are some good choices.
