Its residents struggle to obtain clean water and sanitation(卫生设备), resulting in rubbish that litters the streets. Access to education is also an issue for many families, and they are unable to afford the fees to send their children to school. But with the help of a new grassroots project, these problems are being settled all at once. Known as the Recycle Pay project, plastic waste acts as money to allow parents to pay a portion of their kid’s school fees.The organizations, African Clean Up Initiative and WeCyclers, created the Recycle Pay project and partnered with the Morit International School in Ajegunle to make it happen. They’ve made it easy for parents to take advantage of this project. They simply need to bring a bag of plastic waste to a fixed spot and have it weighed. The weight is then translated into a value of money and deducted (扣除) from the fees owed to the school. It’s a positive outcome for everyone—the envi ronment is a little bit cleaner and there’s less financial hardship on the family.Parents are thrilled with the arrangement as it ensures that their children can continue their education. “I struggle to pay for school fees, sometimes I pay half the price and later pay the remaining balance,” explains parent Sherifat Okunowo to the BBC. “But with the introduction ofthis project, the plastic has made it easy for me to pay school fees.”The school’s principal says, “It has really reduced the burden on parents,” he says. “We now collect fees faster—the school wins, the children win, the parents win, everybody wins.”24.The living situation in this area is bad except__________.A. it is hard to collect plastic rubbishB. it is hard to get a healthy environmentC. it is difficult to have clean waterD. it is difficult to have complete education25. What should parents do now to send their children to school?A. Sell the plastic rubbish to get money.B. Take a bag of plastic rubbish to a fixed place.C. Pay all the school fees by selling plastic waste.D. Ask their children to take a bag of waste to school.26. What advantage does the project give to the area?A. The locals can get clean water.B. The environment can become tidy.C. People can earn some extra money.D. The school can get enough plastic.27. What can we infer from the principal’s words?A. The project is worth supporting.B. The students can hand in their fees on time.C. The school needs money to go on running.D. The school will win more matches in the future.CFrom an extremely rare “pale tiger” to all-white orca whales spotted in the Pacific Ocean, more and more albino(白化的) animals are being discovered around the world. In Wolong National Reserve in southwest China, a motion-activated camera recently snapped the first photo of an extraordinarily rare, all-white albino panda.The photo, taken in April 2019, shows the unusual bear wandering through the 680-acre bamboo forest at an altitude of 6,500 feet(2,000 meters). With its distinctive white fur, the giant panda looks like a polar bear who has got lost—but it’s perfectly at home in the humid environment. As well as white fur and claws, the photo reveals it also has red eyes, indicating that it is an animal with albinism—a rare genetic mutation(变异) that results in a loss of pigmentation(色素) of the skin, eyes, and hair. As the image is blurred, scientists could notdetermine the panda’s sex, but they guess that it’s somewhere between one and two years old.A lack of protective pigment in people and animals with albinism can make them more sensitive to sunlight, resulting in potential eye damage and skin defects. However, since this particular panda is sheltered by the bamboo forest , its condition is unlikely to affect its quality of life. Li Sheng, a specialist in bears says, “The panda looked strong and its steps were steady, a sign that the genetic mutation may not have quite affected its life.”Giant pandas are currently listed as endangered, with less than 1,000 adults existing in the wild. This shows just how rare this white panda really is, and it could very well be the only one in the world. However, albinism is genetic condition, so we might see some more of these white forest bears in the future.28. Why does the author mention the pale tiger and white whales?A.

White pandas will have more chances to protect themselves.DThe reception at the Henn na Hotel east of Tokyo is quiet until guests approach the robot dinosaurs manning the front desk. Their sensors detect the motion and they say “Welcome”.It might be about the weirdest check-in experience possible, but that’s exactly the point at theHenn na chain, which bills itself as offering the world’s first hotels staffed by robots. The front desk staff are a pair of giant dinosaurs that look like cast members of the Jurassic Park movies, except for the tiny bellboy hats perched on their heads. The robo-dinos process check-ins through a tablet system that also allows customers to choose which language—Japanese, English, Chinese or Korean—they want to use to communicate with the multilingual robots.But for other guests the novelty is the charm: Each room is staffed with mini robots that look a bit like robot BB-8 in Star Wars, and help guests with everything from changing channels to playing music. Even the fish swimming in the lobby run on batteries, with electric lights in their articulated bodies flickering on and off as they work their way around giant tanks.“The dinosau rs looked intriguing, and I thought my son would love it,” said Chigusa Hosoi, who was at the hotel with her three-year-old. “My son is really happy. There’s an egg-shaped robot inside the room. He was playing with it a lot.”The manager said relying on robots for everything from front desk duty to cleaning had proved an efficient choice in a country with a shrinking labour market. “It’s becoming difficult to secure enough labour at hotels. To solve that problem, we have robots serving guests.”32. What is the uniqueness of Henn na Hotel?A. It is located east of Tokyo.B. It has dinosaurs to offer service.C. It advertises itself as offering the world’s first hotels staffed by robots.D. It gets great support from the government.33. What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 4?A. Frightening.B.

Japan will encourage more hotels to follow this one.D. There are not enough qualified hotel workers in Japan.35. What may be the best title for the text?A. The Best Hotel in Tokyo, JapanB. Welcome to the Hotel Staffed by Robot DinosaursC. Why Not go to the Hotel Only Staffed by RobotsD. The Robots Replace the Human Staff in Japan第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
