Shesold food and other useful items. However, she had trouble makingenough money to keep the shelves stocked （储存的）. To stay inbusiness, Fatima got a microfinance loan—a small total of moneyfrom a person in another country. It was just enough for her to buy acell phone. She let villagers make calls using her phone and charged them some money for each call. This helped her make enough money to keep her shelves stocked with items. Fatima then used the money to send her children to school and improved their lives, as well as her own.Microfinance is the practice of giving small loans to people in need. Most microfinance loans are for less than two hundred dollars. The loans are used to start or enlarge a small business, such as catching fish, raising chickens or selling produce. Lenders are willing to make these loans because most of the people who receive them are very likely （可能的）to repay the loans.Microfinance loans are important for several reasons. The businesses that these loans support often provide needed services or goods to their communities. Also, many of the people who receive microfinance loans cannot get money any other way. Although they have to pay a rate （比率）of interest on the money they borrow, the rate is lower than if they borrowed from a local moneylender.It doesn’t seem like such a small total of money could make a big difference, but microfinance loans have been shown to help improve some people's lives and put new life into the communities like Fatima's.21．Why did Fatima get a microfinance loan?A．To manage her small store. B．To buy a cell phone for her neighborC．To help the villagers make money. D．To afford her children's education.22．What can we learn about microfinance?A．It supports poor people for free .B．It offers big loans to people in need.C．It helps small businesses a lot. D．It provides needed goods for local people.23．What does the underlined word " interest " in Paragraph 3 probably mean in Chinese?A．盈利B．红利C．利润D．利息24．From the text, we can infer （推断出）that __________________.A．Fatima is the richest woman in her communityB．Few people in Fatima's village have cell phonesC．Microfinance will provide money for big companiesD．Most borrowers can hardly repay the loans25．What would be the best title for the text?A．A Little Can Go a Long WayB．Small Businesses Make a Big DifferenceC．A Cell Phone Brings a Better LifeD．Microfinance Loans Build a New WorldDUpcycling is the process of changing old materials into something useful and often beautiful.So, is it the same as recycling? No. Recycling takes materials -paper or glass-and breaks them downso their base materials can be reused to make a new product. When you upcycle an item, you are notbreaking down the material, you are simply refashioning it. For example, you might make shoes outof old tyres. Also, the upcycled item is typically of the same, or even better, quality than theoriginal(原来的).Upcycling isn't a new idea. Some of the best examples of modern-day upcycling come from the 1930s to 1940s when families didn't have enough materials. In those days, things were repurposed over and over until there were no longer useful. For example, an old door can be changed into a new dining table. Saving is still a trend(趋势)today and a big reason why more and more people upcycle. But an even bigger reason for the rebirth of upcycling is its good influence on the environment.Upcycling is green. The plain and simple fact of the matter is that upcycling is much better for the planet than throwing things away. When you upcycle, that's one item less that ends up on the waste mountain. Upcycling is also considerably more environmentally friendly than recycling, which needs energy or water to break down materials.Upcycling just needs your own creativity and effort. For example, Grace Robinson, from the UK, takes used tea bags and turns them into dresses, shoes and even hats.There are two ways to support the upcycling movement. Sort through your recycling bins and create items yourself, or buy ready-made items from upcycled materials. Both ways do good to the environment and in returm, you get something that's both attractive and practical.26．What can we know about upeycling according to the pasage?A．It can improve the qualiny of items. B．It needs more energy than recycling.C．It needs to break down base materials. D．It produces more waste than recycling27．The underlined word "refaslioning" in Paragaph 2 probably means"_______".A．giving a new form B．giving a fashionable nameC．making a perfect copy D．making a chemical change28．We can learn from the pasage that_______.A．recycling needs people to be more creativeB．it is important to help others to upcycleC．it isnot diffcult for us to upcycle clothesD．upcycling is much greener than recycling29．What'sthe best title for the passage?A．Get started to recycle today B．A modern trend: upcyclingC．Is upcycling the same as recycling?
