Since our twins began learning to walk, my wife and I have kept telling them that our sliding（推拉式

It will drive us crazy. It appears that the kids know the 3 though we have been continually telling
them the other way.
I hate lying to kids. One day they’ll wake up and 4 that everything they’ve always known
about windows is a lie. I wonder if 5 should always tell the truth no matter what result it may lead
to. I have a very strong fear that the lie we’re telling will 6 our children. Windows and doors have

door and taking the chance, they just 9 it and wonder, “What if it isn’t a door?” That is, “What if it
isn’t a 10 chance?”
Maybe it’s an unreasonable fear. But the bottom line is that I shouldn’t lie to my kids. So when they
come to other doors in life, they will just open them and walk through.

A
Zhang Guimei is a teacher and principal of Huaping Girls’ High School in Lijiang City. The school is
the first full-tuition-free high school in China, helping poor girls continue their studies after completing the
nine-year education. In the past 12 years, Zhang has helped over 1,600 girls.
Zhang moved to Yunnan at the age of 17. Later, she grew up to be a teacher. In 1996, she voluntarily
moved to teach in the mountainous Huaping. But the next year, she got seriously sick and had no money to
pay for the surgery. Thanks to the local government and people, she was able to get the necessary treatment.
“I told myself I must live on. I fought the disease to see if I could survive. And I remembered deeply in my
heart that I must repay this love from those who helped me,” Zhang said.
Driven by the idea of opening a free high school for girls in 2002, Zhang began a six-year journey
looking for funds and donations. In 2008, Zhang was finally able to realize her dream and Huaping Girls’
High school was set up.
Over the 12 years, Zhang has given all of the donations and most of her salary, totaling more than onemillion yuan, to the school and the education of the young girls in the area.
“It is she that gives us girls from the mountainous areas the chance to see the world outside,” said
Yang Qian, a college student who graduated from Zhang’s school.
Touched by Zhang’s story and spirit, the Yunnan Normal University has planned some projects to
work with Huaping Girls’ High School and promised to send 46 future graduates as volunteer teachers each
year to the school.

12．Why did Zhang make up her mind to help those young girls?
A．She also comes from a poor family like those girls.

C．She had wished to set up a school since she was a child.
D．She found out that the local school needed more teachers.
13．What do we know about Huaping Girls’ High School?
A．Zhang has been teaching there for 20 years B．More than 1,000 girls study there each year.
C．It took Zhang six years to have it built up. D．It was built by the local government in 2008.

BWhat comes to mind when you hear the phrase “space meat”? It sounds quite weird. But in fact, it
could very well be the future of the human diet.
A Russian astronaut recently “grew” meat aboard the International Space Station. Yes, you read that
right—he grew it using cells（细胞）provided by an Israeli company called Aleph Farms. But in fact, he
was not the first person to create lab-grown（实验室培育的）meat. Dutch scientist Mark Post grew the
first lab meat in 2013.
But why bother growing meat in a lab when we can get the real thing from cows? For one thing, lab-
grown meat is healthier. “We gain greater control over what the meat consists of（由……组成）, for
example its fat content,” Post said in an interview with The Atlantic. Lab-grown meat is also free of the
chemicals that are used on farms, such as pesticides（农药）and growth hormones（激素）.
Are there other ways to replace（代替）regular meat? McDonalds is trying to do so with the P.L.T,
which stands for plant, lettuce and tomato. The first P.L.T. burgers are already being sold in Canada,
according to the fast food company.
The “meat” in the P.L.T. is made out of Beyond Meat, a plant-based meat substitute（替代品）
created by a company from Los Angeles, US. The company uses pea, rice and bean proteins to produce
patties（肉饼）that look and taste like real meat.
Experts doubt whether these products are healthier than real meat. But they have already proven to be
a success, with several fast food companies already offering such products on their menus, according to
Fox Business.
16．What did the Russian astronaut do recently?
A．He grew meat on the International Space Station.
B．He provided cells for an Israeli company.
C．He built a lab for growing meat in space.
D．He created the first lab-grown meat in the world.17．Why is lab-grown meat healthier than real meat?
A．Because it is made from healthy cells. B．Because it is produced in clean labs.
C．Because lab meat doesn’t consist of fat. D．Because producers can control what’s in the
meat.
18．What does the word "bother" in Para 3 mean?
A．兄弟 B．费工夫 C．吹牛 D．打破
19．According to the story, P.L.T. burgers ________.
A．taste better than normal burgers. B．are made out of plant protein.
C．are already being sold in the US. D．are served by many fast food companies.
20．What do experts think of plant-based meat products?
A．They will be the future of the human diet. B．They are free from harmful chemicals.
C．They might not be healthier than real meat. D．They have already proven to be a success.
C
As populations keep increasing in cities, city planners look under their feet for answers. With space in
cities so limited, often the only choice for those who can afford to expand their property is to go
underground.
One idea, which hasn’t been realized yet, is the ‘Earthscraper’ mentioned for Mexico City. This 65-
storey inverted (倒置的) pyramid has been suggested as a way to provide office, shopping and living space
without having to tear down the city’s historic buildings or break its 8-storey height requirement.
Many questions remain to be discussed, however, such as how you provide light, remove waste and
protect people from fire or floods. Some of them have been answered with the construction (建设) of the
Intercontinental Shanghai Wonderland hotel in China. This 336-room resort was built into the rock face of
an 88m-deep, disused quarry (采石场) .
The island city-state of Singapore is also exploring its underground choices. Not only are its Jurong
Rock Caverns being turned into an underground storage facility (装备) for the nation’s oil reserves, but
there are also plans to build an ‘Underground Science City’ for 4,200 scientists to carry out research.
In New York, the Lowline Project is turning a disused subway station into a park. Expected to open in
2021, it uses a system of above-ground light-collection dishes to provide enough light to grow plants, trees
and grass.
21．What’s the reason for people to explore the underground space?A．People who explore the underground space can afford to expand their property.
B．Scientists have new discoveries when they are exploring the underground space.
C．The population in cities is growing and the space in cities is too small to live in.
D．People explore the underground space because they want new places to live in.
22．Which is NOT the requirement of the buildings in Mexico?
A．People cannot tear down the city’s historic buildings.
B．People should have enough living space in the city.
C．People can have buildings over the height of 65 storeys.
D．People should have buildings within the height requirement.
23．What does the word “them” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A．questions B．light and waste C．people D．fire or floods
24．What can you infer from Paragraph 4?
A．Singapore is building Jurong Rock Caverns and Underground Science City.
B．Singapore is planning its underground buildings because of its small size.
C．Singaporean scientists like underground buildings very much.
D．Jurong Rock Caverns is built to satisfy people’s shopping needs.
25．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Cities are building wonderful hotels like Shanghai.
B．Cities are suffering from many problems.
C．Underground cities can grow plants and trees.
D．Underground cities will be the choice of future.
