Do you ever find yourself standing in front of rubbish bins, not sure whether the piece of
waste in your hand is recyclable or not? To solve this problem, four Hong Kong high school
students have invented a smart rubbish bin that uses AI to sort(分类) the waste. The students
named the bin Waste Collection Point.
Connected to a computer, the bin uses a camera to tell the kind of the waste it receives
and sorts it into plastic, paper, glass, or other kinds. To make sure the bin can sort waste
correctly, the team tested every product in the school shop and took at least500 pictures of
each one. “To train the AI, we had to take many photos from different angles(角度), so it has
a better rate of accuracy,” said one of the students who built the AI system.
The idea of the smart bin was born two years ago, when the students were in Grade Ten.
At that time, people from the city crowded into their village because of the COVID-19. They
left behind a lot of rubbish and caused more pollution.
“All the bins were full, and there was even rubbish on the mountain,” the students
recalled, “Every weekend, we had to join the villagers in picking up the waste.”
The students decided to develop a special recycling bin that would encourage people to
protect the environment. Although school ended at 2 pm, the team would continue to work on
their invention until 6 or 7 pm at school. Even when their school was closed last year, they
would still meet and work together online.
“Our bin is now in its third generation(代). Before graduation, we hope it can be widely
used in the city.” The students said, “Then it will be easier than ever for people to recycle and
protect our environment.”

On Nov.16, seven astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) woke up to an
alarm (警报). A Russian missile (导弹) test had just bombed a satellite into more than 1,500
pieces of space debris (残骸). Some got very close to the ISS.
NASA says space debris like this can travel at more than 28,000 km/h. That’s much
faster than a bullet (子弹) (about 3,500 km/h). Even a pea-sized piece of debris could “wipe
out” a space station or kill an astronaut if he or she is doing a spacewalk, says Live Science.
Since the 1950s, humans have sent thousands of rockets and satellites into space. Many
are still there, and we now face an ever-increasing problem of space rubbish. In 2006, for
example, National Geographic reported that a tiny piece of space rubbish hit the ISS, taking a
small piece of glass out of a window. In June of this year, a piece of debris ran into one of the
station’s robotic arms, which are just like the arms of a robot, and left a hole.
Scientists are trying different ways to deal with the problem. One way is to use a huge
net. In 2018, the UK’s Survey Space Center caught some space rubbish with a net in an
experiment. It first found the debris, and then collected it with a net and a harpoon (鱼叉).
Another way is to use robotic arms. Clear Space 1, the European Space Agency’s task toclean space rubbish, is going to be sent into space in 2025. It will use robotic arms to catch
debris. This plans to throw the debris into Earth’s atmosphere (大气层), where it will burn up
as it falls because of strong friction (摩擦).
16．The bomb of the Russian missile mainly causes ________ according to the article.
A．plants B．soil C．food D．space debris
17．According to NASA, space debris moves ________ as fast as a bullet.
A．eight times B．nine times C．seven times D．six times
18．What happens to a space station if it gets “wiped out”?
A．It gets cleaned. B．It gets rebuilt. C．It gets broken. D．It gets old.
19．The best ways to deal with space debris is ________ according to the article.
a. throwing it away into the planet
b. throwing it into the sun to burn up
c. collecting it with nets and harpoons
d. throwing it into Earth’s atmosphere to burn up
A．ad B．cd C．ab D．bd
20．What can we infer from Paragraph 3-4?
A．There is nothing we can do to deal with space debris.
B．The astronauts are quite safe in space even there is space debris.
C．More and more tasks are failing because we don’t want to cause space rubbish.
D．Thousands of old rockets and satellites are turning into space rubbish for years.
One day, Paula Ma was walking along Castle Island’s beach. She found there were lots
of plastic（塑料）pieces in the sea and some were too small to pick up. She began to think
about how to solve the problem.
First, she did a survey. The result showed there were already 150 million tons of plastic
in the sea, and every year there would be another 8 million tons. She realized something must
be done. So she decided to invent a robot that could work under water. She tried again and
again. At last her ROV came out. It could move through water and pick up plastic pieces,
especially the small ones.With this ROV, Paula Ma took part in the Broadcom Masters competition. It was one of
the top STEM competitions. It’s for young students around the world. This year, more than
5,000 students were interested in the competition, but only a few got the chance. Paula Ma’s
ROV caught a lot of attention. It had a camera with three different kinds of lights. It could
find plastic pieces easily. Dana Yoerger, an expert, said, “The ROV is nicely done for a 12-
year-old girl. It’s very clever.”
In fact, Paula Ma is always learning to solve the world problems and her parents are
always supporting her. At the age of five, she began to go to workshops to learn engineering
skills. When she was asked about the future plan, she said, “I want to be an engineer because
I like building things. I think many world problems can be solved with new inventions. Right
now, I’m just caring about plastic problems because there is still a long way to go.”

A．c-b-a-d B．b-c-d-a C．b-a-c-d D．d-c-a-bOne day, Tom’s teacher, Miss Mark, held a class meeting. “There will be a flag day next
Saturday. Does anyone want to join this meaningful event (活动)?” asked Miss Mark. Tom
was interested in raising money for homeless children but he was not brave enough to talk to
the strangers, so he kept quiet in his seat.
“Tom. You haven’t sold flags before,” said Miss Mark suddenly. “Would you like to
have a try?”Tom was hesitant(犹豫的)，but he finally nodded.
On the flag day, Tom and Angela sold flags in a busy street. “Ex-cuse me, Could y-o-u
pl-ea-se buy ...?” said Angela softly to the first person she met. The man smiled and put five-
dollar coin into Angela’s collection bag. Then she said thanks and put a flag under his
shoulder. “I did it!” said Angela happily. “It’s your turn now.”
Feeling nervous. Tom began to shake. Soon, he saw a young lady walking towards him.
The lady was smiling and holding a few coins in her hand. She asked, “Are you selling flags
for Fund for the Homeless Children?” Tom’s face became red and said yes. Then the lady
made the donation(捐赠) and Tom gave her a flag. “You made it!” laughed Angela.
In the next couple of hours, Angela and Tom sold flags quickly and bravely. At last, their
collection bags were so heavy that they had to hold them with both arms. They felt very
proud.

know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life.
It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such
as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible. Learn the
best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person,
hanging by the fingertips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the
height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to slay in a burning
building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed,
or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure
you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked (渗) into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are these which open onto a roof.
From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement (水
泥)might end with injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.
31．It is more important to ________.
A．put out the fire in the burning house B．know the ways to escape the fire
C．jump off a burning house D．keep the door closed
32．It is possible to escape through the windows ________.

The world uses about a thousand million (百万) tons of water a day. Water is a human
right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the
world have trouble getting clean, safe water.
Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the
environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world
is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat
and reuse the wastewater.
While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water—that
comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is
too salty to drink. Then desalination businesses come in. More than 19,000 factories have
been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process (加工) more than 92
million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.
Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times
more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each
day with not having enough water for everyone.
41．How many people have trouble in getting clean water around the world?
A．Under 10 million. B．Only 19 million.
C．About 92 million. D．Over 700 million.
42．Treating wastewater helps the environment by _____.
A．storing waste in ice and snow B．letting waste run into oceans
C．keeping waste out of rivers and oceans D．sending waste to coastal countries43．What does the underlined word "desalination" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．远洋运输 B．潮汐发电 C．食盐销售 D．海水淡化
44．At present, the technology to process water_____.
A．needs much energy B．saves much money
C．satisfies everyone D．causes pollution
45．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Water should be a human right. B．The water problem is still serious.
C．Our planet is covered with water. D．Everyone has enough clean water.
In ancient times, there was a king who loved flowers. His palace was always decorated
with beautiful orchids(兰花)and other flowers. As the king grew older, he knew that one day
he would have to give up his throne(王位). So he had to find someone to rule the country.
The other day, the king had an idea. He asked his servants to travel to every part of the
country and give every citizen a single orchid seed(种子). He then announced that the person
who grew the most beautiful orchid would take his throne.
Everyone in the country then got their own seed. One young man named David was
especially excited about the news, because he had experience in growing flowers himself.
David planted his seed in a pot and put it in a place where it would get lots of sunlight.
He watched it carefully every day. But as hard as he tried, his flower simply would not grow.
Finally, it was time for everyone to give their flowers to the king. David took his empty
potto the palace. “Your Majesty(尊敬的陛下), I am sorry to say that I could not grow an
orchid. But I hope you can see that I tried my best,” he said.
The king was moved by David’s honesty. Although he did not choose David as the new
king, he gave David a job as a royal court judge(法官). He helieved that David’s honesty
would make him the right person to make sure the justice(公正)in the country.
46．According to the king’s order, who could be the next king?
A．The man who was the smartest.
B．The man who was the most honest,
C．The man who could plant the best seed.
D．The man who could grow the most beautiful orchid.
47．What do we know about David?
A．He told a joke to the king. B．He failed to grow the king’s orchid.C．He was good at growing orchids. D．He was chosen to be the next king.
48．What does the underlined word “it” refers to in Paragraph 4?
A．The pot. B．His flower. C．The seed. D．The sunlight.
49．What can we learn from the story?
A．David was the only winner in the end.
B．It is stupid of the king to choose David as a judge.
C．It is impolite of David to give an empty pot to the palace.
D．The king believed honesty was very important for a judge.
50．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．Honesty Is the Best Policy B．How to Grow Orchids

Tea and coffee are two of the most popular drinks in the world. However, people usually
like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses.
Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days,
some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress(压力) or losing weight. However,
most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact,
tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey(土耳其), tea is always there
when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a company, tea is always offered as a way
of welcoming. In the UK, homes and offices usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are
served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends or co-workers(同事).
Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans.
Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to
relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to
help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep
going through the working day. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with
friends. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their
computers.

60．This passage is most probably from ________.
A．a science book B．a travel guide
C．a news website D．a school magazineWe know many musical instruments well, such as pianos, violins, drums and so on.
What about the erhu? The erhu is a traditional Chinese instrument. It is the most popular of
the huqin family, and it has a long history.
The modern erhu developed from the xiqin, which was played by many ethnic
minorities (少数民族) during the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use
the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and it became quite a popular instrument. With
the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and
Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk
music. At present, it is used in both traditional and modern music, such as in pop, rock and
jazz. It has even become a solo (独奏) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces
played on the erhu is Erquan Yingyue.
As the erhu was mainly played by common people and the playing skills were passed
down orally (口头地), there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To
study the history and the development of the erhu, historians (历史学者) usually turn to
ancient paintings. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and
Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province, where five erhu pictures were
discovered on murals (壁画).
61．When did the erhu become a popular instrument?
A．In the Tang Dynasty. B．In the Song Dynasty.
C．In the Ming Dynasty. D．In recent years.
62．To study the history of the erhu, historians usually ________.
A．play the most famous erhu pieces B．listen to different kinds of folk music
C．get help from ancient paintings D．read some books about ethnic
minorities
63．Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The huqin belongs to the erhu family.
B．Folk art stops the development of the erhu.
C．People can find plenty of written records about the erhu.
D．The erhu is used in both traditional and modern music now.
64．You may read the passage in the ________ section of a newspaper.
A．culture B．business C．health D．nature
65．The passage mainly talks about ________.A．the forms of folk music B．the history of the erhu
C．the rise of different dynasties D．the development of Chinese instruments
Recently I had a trip to Sydney with my parents.We visited the Wildlife Park.
The Wildlife Park has lots of different animals.Some are native(当地的) to Australis and
can only be found there.There are more than 500 animals there,including kangaroos,koalas(考
拉)and crocodiles(鳄鱼).They are kept in their natural environment.I like the Wildlife Park
better than a zoo.In zoos,most of the animals are in cages(笼子).
We first spent some time with the kangaroos.We could touch and feel them.It was very
exciting to be so close to them.There were koalas there too.They looked very cuddly(令人想
拥抱的)。Although we couldn’t carry koalas,I could take a photo with one.It is a wonderful
souvenir(纪念品) of my holiday in Sydney.
The Wildlife Park has plenty of freshwater crocodiles and saltwater crocodiles.Some of

She felt very unhappy. Her mom saw that and asked why. Sally told her mother that she felt
so sorry to see so much rubbish on the ground.
Her mom looked around. There were pieces of paper, boxes, glass bottles and a lot of
other rubbish everywhere. “What can we do?” asked Sally sadly. “I’m sure you will think of
something,” said her mom.
As soon as Sally got home with her mom, she painted a picture of the park and wrote a
sign in large black letters at the top of the picture. The sign said, “PLEASE KEEP OUR
PARK CLEAN”. Later, she took plenty of bags and went back to the park with her mom.
Sally put up her picture on a big rubbish box.
The children at the park ran over to see what was going on. Sally handed each of them a
bag. “Let’s clean up this place,” said Sally. Then they began to pick up the rubbish, talking
and laughing. Soon, all the bags were full.
Then Sally’s mom led them to put the rubbish into different kinds of rubbish boxes.
When they looked at the clean park, they all had a strong feeling of satisfaction.
From then on, Sally has been keeping doing the cleaning and sorting（分类）rubbish.
More and more people joined her to play a part in environment protection.

school uniform（校服）rules. Should students wear school uniforms? The Young World
magazine held a discussion on this topic（话题）.
Kennedy: The school uniform is very important, because it always reminds me that I
am supposed to go out of my way to study hard. It also helps prevent school bullying（欺
凌）. If everyone wears the same clothes, it is impossible to laugh at other people’s
clothing.
Manson: The uniform has to be earned（获得）through efforts. Students should start
school with no uniforms. As they make progress at school, they start wearing it. I always
think children need to be proud of their school. The uniform is important for that. So, make
students earn it! If they don’t perform well, they should not be allowed to get one.
Moorhead: In my opinion, kids don’t have to wear uniforms. There should be more
choices open to kids in education. They ought to develop their own independence and just be
themselves. Their personalities would be expressed through their own clothes at school. And
different dress could be one way of showing their understanding of beauty. Besides, they
make the school lively and colorful.
Patrick: I can see the advantages of wearing school uniforms. They play a very
important role in managing schools. However, a school should not depend heavily on
uniforms to improve students’ behaviors. Teaching them how to express themselves with
confidence（信心）is more important.

From November 1st to December 10th in 2020, China started its seventh national
population census(普查). 7 million census takers have asked each family about their name,
gender(性别), age, education, job and so on. This census is different from the ones in the past.
For the first time, citizens were encouraged to use smartphones and other digital tools to
record their information.
China has a national population census every 10 years. The first one was done in 1953.
At that time, there were about 600 million people in China. But China’s population has
boomed. It was about 1.37 billion in 2010.
For the 2020’s national population census, all people of China were included in the
census. But Chinese citizens who had settled(定居) abroad and foreigners who were staying
in China on either business or tourist visas(旅游签证) were not counted.
“The census is very important for every citizen,” said Ning Jizhe. “It will help improve
infrastructure(基础建设) and public services. For example, if census results show that there
are many children living in an area, the government will know that it should build more
schools there.”
Scientists can also learn more about population growth from the census. In some years,
the population grows faster than in others. Even in the same year, population growth is
different in different places. Scientists can use the information to find out what causes growth
in certain years and places.86．Why was the 2020’s national population census different from others?
A．China had the larger population in 2020 than in other years.

President Xi Jinping says “clear waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets（绿水
青山就是金山银山）”. With the efforts of China’s government and its people, the rate of
forest coverage（森林覆盖率）in China has increased by 17.91%, compared to 5.05% forty
years ago, according to a recent report from the State Forestry and Grassland Administration
(SFGA).
Over the past forty years, China planted billions of trees as part of its fight against
expanding（延伸的）deserts, mostly in its north. Each year, people sow seedlings（播种）
over an area nearly the size of Ireland, according to Nature.
In 1978, China began a nationwide tree-planting programme known as the Three North
Shelterbelt Forest Programme, also known as “the Great Green Wall”. It has helped to plant
more than 66 billion trees across 13 provinces in the country’s north to act as windbreaks（防
风林）, according to China Daily.Since 2018, SFGA has made more efforts to build a greener country. Its purpose is to
grow at least 6.7 million hectares（公顷）of forest every year in the next 15 years. Besides
planting more trees, China has tried to bring back grasslands. It has also used strict forest
protection methods and banned（禁止）all commercial logging（商业伐木）since last
August.
The high-speed growth of forests cannot happen without public participation（参与）.
For example, Ant Forest, an Alipay mobile payment app, plants real trees for users who get
“green energy” by taking part in low-carbon（低碳）activities. Since 2016, it has helped to
plant about 122 million trees in China’s driest areas.
China was praised as “one of the most successful countries worldwide in greening the
desert” by United Nations Environment Programme Executive Director Erik Solheim.

such as on some signs and restaurant menus．But there are some problems when people use
it．Perhaps you've seen the English letters "WC" in your city．They show public toilets．
But do you know it is far from native（地道的） English？In fact，foreigners from
English-speaking countries seldom use the letters．
Workers in our city are changing "WC" signs all over the city．The government is spending
much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus．Many other places
in China are following our steps．
"WC，or water closet，is old-fashioned English．It sounds dirty to me．"says
Nancy，a young woman from the US．The old sign will become "Gents/Men" and
"Ladies/Women"． "I see much poor English in everyday life，and not only on signs，"she
says，"I know what they mean，but they are Chinglish，not real English．For example，
when someone says to me "My hometown is Guizhou Province"，I know he or she should
say "My hometown is in Guizhou Province"．Hometown is a smaller place in a province．
The common mistakes that Nancy picked up include "Not Entry"，which should be "No
Entry"，"Direction of Airport" should be changed to "To the Airport"．And it is "Room
Rate"，not "Room Price"．And remember to "Keep off the Grass" rather than "Care of the
Green"．
The next time you walk on the street or eat in the restaurant，you can go and see if the
expressions are right．

A．Chinese students．
