AManny Abreu practices Benjamin Franklin’s famous saying,“If you want something done, ask a busy person.”Throughout his four years at Kellenberg Memorial High School in the US,Abreu made community service an important part of his life.“I don’t know where he finds the time to do everything,”said Erin Ronan,Abreu’s math teacher,“He’s truly a class act.”As an excellent student,Abreu,18,took part in different voluntary(志愿的)activities after school,during weekends and summer holidays.These included helping staff at the public library, doing garden work at Kellenberg,and serving customers at a local restaurant.But faced with a limited number of hours in a day,Abreu left his library job last summer tostart working as an emergency medical technician–a role that fits his strong love for making a difference in other people’s lives.“My love for service has guided me into giving back,”said Abreu,who is setting his sights on becoming a doctor.“It’s such a rewarding feeling to help someone.”During his three years at high school,Abreu devoted between40and50hours of his time each year to volunteer work–more than double the school’s annual requirement of20hours.For all his hard work,Abreu was welcomed into a leadership club that organizes fellow students’volunteer activities.St Martin de Porres Marianist School(Kellenberg’s sister school)also benefited from Abreu’s devotion.Through his school’s Smart Club program,he voluntarily provided homework help and played games with the junior high school students.Abreu thanked his parents for inspiring him to do the right thing,saying they are“the most selfless people I know.”He remembered when he was about6years old,and his mother invited a disadvantaged neighborhood boy to have dinner.Upon seeing the boy’s happiness,Abreu came away with a sense of how he wanted to live his own life–“I won’t focus on my own desires(愿望).I’ll help as many people as I can,”he said.21.What do we know about Manny Abreu?A.He didn’t do well in math.B.He once lost interest in his studies.C.He did a lot of volunteer work.D.He fell behind others because of after-school activities.22.What made Abreu work as a medical technician?A.His love of being praised by other people.B.His limited time to do any other job.C.His hope to try different types of jobs.D.His desire to improve the lives of others.23.According to the passage,which statement is TRUE about his voluntary activities?A.They gave him a chance to attend medical school for free.B.They gave him a sense of self-worth by helping others.C.They made his family famous around the neighborhood.D.They made him a leader among his fellow school students.BDo you know anyone who plays Ant Forest?It is a game on ers collect“energy”for their“trees”to grow.When their“tree”finishes growing,Alipay will plant a real tree in the desert areas of China.This is part of China’s efforts to fight desertification.Since1978,China has planted over66 billion trees across its dry northern areas,according to China Daily.Desertification means there are no trees or grass.Water can’t stay in the soil and sand is everywhere.About2.6million square kilometers of China’s land is covered with sand.That’s about27 percent of the country’s land.It has also caused sandstorms.By planting new trees,sandstorms in China have been cut by20percent in recent years. About13,000square kilometers of land have become oases(绿洲).Ian Teh,a British photographer,traveled through northern China last year.He saw many new oases.“It was hard to imagine that it was ever a desert,”he told Wired magazine.24.What is Ant Forest?A.It is an app that lets people buy things.B.It is a game that can help fight desertification.C.It is a forest for people to grow trees in.D.It is a name for a group of special ants.25.What has China done to fight desertification in the past40years?A.Planted billions of trees.B.Built houses in dry northern areas.C.Moved all the sand to one place.D.Built oases around cities.26.Planting new trees has helped China cut down sandstorms by_____.A.2.6percentB.27percentC.20percentD.66percent27.How did Ian Teh like northern China after his visit last year?A.It was hard to travel in the desert.B.It was amazing to see new oases there.C.It was still full of sand.D.It was not easy to find any trees in the north.CIf you live in Shanghai,you might have to take a“lesson”in sorting garbage(垃圾分类),as the city recently introduced new garbage-sorting rules.It’s now required that people should sort garbage into four groups,namely recyclable, harmful,dry and wet waste.However,if people fail to sort their garbage properly,they can be fined up to200yuan.More cities are introducing similar rules,following the practice in Shanghai.By the end of 2020,garbage-sorting systems will have been built in46major Chinese cities,including Beijing and Shenzhen,reported People’s Daily.According to a study by the Policy Research Center for Environment and Economy,under the Ministry of Ecology and Environment,over90percent of the public believe that garbage sorting is important for the protection of the environment.However,garbage sorting is still a big problem in China.Only30percent of participants(参加者)said they think they are adequately sorting their garbage,the study noted.According to Xinhua News Agency,it’s partly because many people lack the willingness tosort their own waste.In the past,some garbage rules didn’t give clear fines for people who failed to sort garbage.“It’s a must to have a legal guarantee(法律保障)to support garbage sorting,”Liu Jianguo, a professor from Tsinghua University,told China Daily.Liu Xinyu,a researcher of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences,told China Daily that the importance of the new rules in Shanghai is to change the past voluntary action into compulsory action for everyone.Besides China,many other foreign countries have also introduced garbage-sorting rules.In Japan,waste sorting has become a basic survival skill,reported Xinhua.There is a fixed time to deal with each kind of garbage and littering can result in high fines and being sentenced in prison.In Germany too,people are asked to sort waste into specific groups,reported HuffPost.For example,in Berlin,people have yellow dustbins for plastic and metals and blue dustbins for paper and cardboard.28.What do we know about garbage sorting in Shanghai?A.People should put their garbage into two groups.B.People will be fined200yuan each time they break the rules.C.Shanghai is the first city to introduce garbage-sorting rules in the world.D.It sets an example for many other cities in China.29.What does the underlined phrase“result in”mean?A.put offB.lead toC.turn inD.cut down30.The main point of the passage is___________________.A.Why garbage sorting is important.B.How other countries sort garbage.C.Garbage sorting has started in China.D.The world’s garbage problem is becoming worse.第二节(共5个小题；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。
