Samuel saw that the main barrier in teaching these children was the attitude on the part of many teachers that the native children were not worth their efforts. It was thought that whatever was taught would make no difference, so nobody bothered to try. The children themselves ended up believing these stigmas (污名), often doubting what they can achieve. Teachers skipped or slept in classes and little effort was made to create an appropriate learning environment. Consequently, the school was one of the worst-performing in the district.Samuel bonded with his native students and accepted their culture, leading him to see their potential. However, he also came to see that they did not have equal opportunities compared to urban schools, due to the lack of facilities. So he set up crowdfunding project to create a fully equipped 21st-century English classroom with tablets and computers. The Orang Asli children now learn technology, experience English and communicate in English with volunteers all over Malaysia and overseas.Consequently, the students have improved in national standardized examinations, from a pass rate of 30% in English (20082012) to an average of 80% (20132017). These efforts have resulted in a shift of what local children are considered capable of academically.24. What did the teachers words suggest about the native children?A. They were intelligent.B. They were hopeless.C. They were unfriendly.D. They were independent.25. What major problem did Samuel need to solve?A. The poverty of local people.B. The lack of facilities in his school.C. The prejudice against the native kids.D. The unsuitable teaching methods.26. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The change of native students.B. The importance of learning English.C. The improvement of native education.D. Samuels work for the native kids.27. What can we learn from Samuels story?A. Respect makes a big difference.B. The academic performance comes first.C. Everyone deserves access to education.D. One method cant apply to each situation.CA shocking 53.6 million tons of electronic waste were discarded (丢弃) last year, a new UN-backed report has revealed. The report shows that e-waste is up 21% from five years ago. This isnt surprising, considering how many more people are adopting new technology and updating devices regularly to have the latest versions, but the report also shows that national collection and recycling strategies are nowhere close to matching consumption rates.E-waste contains materials including copper (铜), iron, gold and silver, which the report gives conservative value of $57 billion. But most are thrown away or burned rather than being collected for recycling. Precious metals in waste are estimated to be worth $14 billion, but only $4 billion-worth is recovered at the moment.While the number of countries with national e-waste policies has grown from 61 to 78 since 2014, there is little encouragement to obey and a mere 17% of collected items are recycled. If recycling does occur, its often under dangerous conditions, such as burning circuit boards to recover copper, which “releases highly poisonous metals” and harms the health of workers.The report found that Asia has the highest amounts of waste overall, producing 24.9 million metric tons (MMT), followed by Europe at 12 MMT, Africa at 2.9 MMT, and Oceania at 0.7 MMT.But whose responsibility is it? Are government in charge of setting up collection and recycling points, or should companies be responsible for recycling the goods they produce? It goes both ways. Companies do need to be held accountable by government regulations and have incentives to design products that are easily repaired. At the same time, governments need to make it easy for citizens to access collection points and deal with their broken electronics in a convenient way. Otherwise, they may turn to the easiest optionthe landfill.28. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. What e-waste refers to.B. Where e-waste is collected.C. Why e-waste is increasing rapidly.D. How many kinds e-waste includes.29. What do the statistics in paragraph 2 show?A. The functions of policies.B. The great damage to environment.C. The change of consumption rates.D. The urgency of recovering e-waste.30. What is the problem with recycling e-waste at present?A. It does harm to the workers health.B. It lacks national policy support.C. It hardly makes profits.D. It takes too much time.31. How should the problem be solved according to the passage?A. New technology should be used to update old devices.B. Governments and companies should take responsibilities.C. Non-poisonous metals had better be used in e-device.D. Citizens must play a key role in recycling e-waste.DSome termite(白蚁) species have figured out how to enjoy the shelter of the huge complex nests that the insects build without contributing to their construction They avoid the full anger of their builder hosts by being extremely easy-going.Animals that live in the nests of another species without affecting them are known as inquilines. Inquiline termites are unique among termites in being unable to make their own nests. Instead, they live in the hallways built by another termite, Constrictotermes cyphergaster. Until now, it has been unclear how the two parties kept peaceful in such tight quarters because termites are typically very aggressive towards outsiders.Helder Hugo at the University of Konstanz in Germany and his colleagues collected Constrictotermes cyphergasters nests in the Brazilian Cerrado and brought them into the laboratory. They then placed host and tenant (房客) termites in either open or narrow areas and used video to track and record the ways in which the two species reacted to each other.Right from the start, the inquiline termites moved around less than their hosts and interacted little with them, even in the much narrower area. “Many times,” says Hugo, “when two unrelated groups are put together in a limited spacesuch as an experimental areathe outcome is conflict with losses from both sides.” But that didnt happen here. Despite attacks from host termites, the tenant termites were obedient. Hosts would bite or attack the inquilines with strong chemicals, but their targets never responded in the same way, choosing to flee. Some ignored the hosts completely.“We did not expect that they would never fight back,” says Hugo, noting that the inquilines are capable of protecting their own place with mouths. “By preventing conflict going worse, inquiline termites may considerably improve their chances of living together with their host termites peacefully.”“Passiveness does not necessarily lead to defeat, but can be a very useful strategy, saving energy and resources,” she adds. “Nature may not always be red in tooth and claw, and aggression is not any more successful a strategy than cowardice (懦弱).”32. What is the feature of the inquiline termites?A. They live in another termite species nests.B. They are aggressive towards outsiders.C. They like to build their own nests.D. They are communicative tenants.33. What do you learn about the experiment in paragraph 3?A. The differences between the two species.B. The findings of the observation.C. The living habits of termites.D. The process of the research.34. What does Hugo think of the inquiline termites living strategy?A. Aggressive.B. Unacceptable.C. Effective.D. Dangerous.35. Whats the best title for the text?A. The Characteristics of TermitesB. Passiveness Doesnt Necessarily Lead to DefeatC. The Relationship Between Host and Tenant TermitesD. Termites Use Cowardice to Avoid Their Hosts Anger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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Camping is great way to spend family time.
