ALeon McCarthy, 12, was born without fingers on his left hand. That didn't stop him from being able to do many tasks. But Leon could not grasp more than one object at a time. So Leon's father, Paul, created a Prosthesis(假肢), using a 3D printer. Now Leon has fingers that open and close. “It was a do-it-yourself, father-and-son adventure,” says Paul.When Leon was a baby, his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in his early teens. “The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with,” says Paul. As Leon got older, his father looked into buying a prosthetic hand, which can cost as much as $30,000. Paul found a more affordable solution.One day, Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand, a prosthesis created with a 3D printer. He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand's creators for advice. They told him all he needed was a 3D printer—which costs around $2,000—and some materials.Luckily, Leon's school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon. “We used a soccer shinguard(护胫), cardboard, and tape. They cost about $10,” says paul.With his new hand, Leon can do things better. “I can help my mom more, because now I can carry two grocery bags,” he says.Leon's father has already built several hands for Leon. Leon helps design each one. He says there's one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis.“The goal,” he says, “is to be able to tie my shoelaces(鞋带).”21.Why did Leon's doctor disapprove of his using a prosthesis in his childhood? A.The prosthetic technology was underdeveloped then.B.A prosthesis was very expensive at that time.C.To master the disabled hand was important.D.The original hand could do many tasks.22.Leon's father managed to get Leon a new hand by ________.A.collecting money on the InternetB.buying a prosthetic handC.purchasing a 3D printerD.printing a hand23.The materials used for Leon's hand can be described as ________.A.cheap and commonB.strange and valuableC.personal and lovelyD.basic and solid24.What's the best title for the text?A.A DIY Enthusiast B.A Helping HandC.A Great Adventure D.A Lucky EscapeBI set out to help clean up the beach after a violent storm a year ago. The sight I saw was heartbreaking. The broken houses seemed to be weeping quietly. I couldn't describe how I felt. But something special among the debris (废墟) turned my day around.I joined a club to clean up the beach after the storm last November. As I removed the debris from the beach, I noticed an object with shiny buttons in the wet sand. It was a jacket, and I was excited since Halloween was coming and I thought I had found a great costume. After picking it up, I was able to see that the jacket was from West Point (西点军校), the United States Military Academy, and it had the name “deGavre” written inside. I realized the jacket might be important to someone. Idecided to find the jacket's owner and return it.I called the West Point Museum, considering that if the family couldn't be found, the jacket should go there. The museum connected me with Kim McDermott, Director of Communications for the Academy's Association of Graduates. Kim soon ensured that the jacket had belonged to Chester Braddock deGavre, who was a 1933 graduate and a war hero, but passed away in 1993.I sent Kim a photo of the jacket and she posted it to the West Point Association of Graduates Facebook Page, asking if anyone could help us find the family. In less than two hours, someone had found and called the hero's wife, Teresa. Soon I started to receive personal messages from members of the deGavre family, their friends and others who were touched by the story and they found me on Facebook.Finding Chester deGavre's jacket and connecting to his family with the help of Facebook have been so meaningful to me. I've formed a bond with amazing people I might have never met.25.Seeing the sight after the storm, the author felt very ________.A.sad B.surprisedC.nervous D.disappointed26.What did the author think at first after he saw the jacket?A.He should try to find its owner.B.He could wear it for Halloween.C.He should return it to West Point.D.He could send it to others for free.27.The author called the West Point Museum because he thought ________.A.the jacket was made thereB.the jacket's owner worked thereC.the workers there needed the jacketD.the jacket might be collected by the museum28.According to the text, Kim McDermott ________.A.happened to be the owner of the jacketB.was a student graduating from West PointC.could find a record of the graduatesD.was a family member of the authorCWatson entered Mr.Smith's office.The boss was a hard man.He fired people who didn't do well without giving them a second chance.“Watson,”said Mr.Smith,“this past year your department hasn't earned money.We're going to drop that department.It's finished.I'm sorry,—but you'll have to go.”“But,sir—if I just had a little more time.For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”“What's that!”said the boss.“Riverside!I didn't know you had a boy there.That's an expensive school for a man with your salary.”“I know,sir.But he likes it there so much!He's a star athlete and the best boxer in the school.The boys call him Champ (冠军)there.”The boss sat perfectly still for a long time—a faraway (恍惚的) look in his eyes.Then,suddenly,he said,“We've got to close your department,Watson.But you'll take over a new job in another department.It means longer hours—maybe more pay.Now get out.You're here for life.”Watson got out,with surprise on his face.Then the boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk.It was Herbie's last letter from Riverside School—written a few days before he died.He had read it over and over again with sick pain.The letter read:I can't say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were.I guess it's the same everywhere when you're a cripple (跛脚的人).But don't worry about me,Dad.They've got a good chemistry department here.And there's one boy here who is really great.He's a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry.The boys call him Champ.He made them stop throwing my books around.And he knocked a boy down who hit me.He is the best friend I ever had.Dad,when I grow up,I want to do something for Champ.Something big—that he won't even know about.Your son,Herbie29.Mr.Smith wanted to fire Watson because ________.A.Watson would take over a new job in another departmentB.Watson had his son study in Riverside SchoolC.Watson's son knocked a boy down who hit HerbieD.Watson's department didn't earn money that year30.We can learn from the text that ________.A.Mr.Smith didn't know that Champ was Watson's son at firstB.Mr.Smith was told not to fire Watson by HerbieC.Mr.Smith decided to give Watson another chance in no timeD.Mr.Smith wanted to realize Champ's dream31.According to the text,which words can best describe Mr.Smith?

The campaign is called Marvel Comics Close-Up, aimed at using comic books to encourage kids to read. Disney and Marvel donated 210,000 books to libraries and schools across the country.Stars from Disney XD participated. They read Spider-Man comic books to 70 kids from Boys & Girls Clubs in southern California. The stars included Drake Bell (Ultimate Spider-Man), Dylan Riley Snyder (Kickin' It), Olivia Holt (Kickin' It) andCole Jenson (Crash & Bernstein).Drake Bell said that the Marvel reading campaign is aimed at kids who are bored with books, believing comic books are the answer for kids who say they'd rather play video games. “Comic books really get you into the story,” he told TFK(Time For Kids). “They are not just words or pictures on a page.”Dylan Riley Snyder knows from his experiences that comic books have the power to inspire kids' imagination. His mom was a teacher and she used comic books to interest students who thought they weren't interested in reading. Dylan attended these classes. He would read the comic books and draw the characters along with the students. “It was a great way for these kids to start to enjoy reading,” Dylan said. “That's how I got interested in reading too. Now I can share my love for comic books with others through the Marvel Comics Close-Up program.”David Levine is the Vice President of Disney XD Worldwide. He said great stories and great characters, like Spider-Man and The Avengers, were key to making reading fun. “Reading can encourage you to explore new things and take you to all sorts of exciting places,” he told TFK.33.What is the main purpose of the Marvel reading campaign?A.To donate books to libraries and schools.B.To encourage students to use the library.C.To excite children's interest in reading.D.To introduce some new comic books.34.By saying “They are not just words or pictures on a page” in Paragraph 3, Drake Bell means ________.A.comic books make kids imaginative and interestedB.there are colorful pictures in most comic booksC.common books with only words are bad for kidsD.comic books are much better than common books35.Who stressed the benefit of reading?A.Drake Bell.
