B For Jithin Nedumala,who founded Make a Difference(MAD),one of the largest youth-volunteer networks in India for orphans when he was just 20 years old, volunteering with children was a coincidence().After losing a close friend at the age of 19,he began volunteering at an orphanage to "escape his own pain".There, focusing on someone else's struggles helped him find deeper happiness."I was able to focus on something larger than myself for the first time,"he says. "MAD was born because I was kind of mad at societies.Instead of providing the best care and support children needed to break free of the cycle of poverty,they were just keeping them alive till 18 and then washing their hands of them.Those kids were 高一·英语第2页（共10页） totally on their own afterward,"says Nedumala. Today,MAD has built a model that can truly help children escape poverty.For the youngest age group,aged 10-13,MAD's Foundation Skills program lays the groundwork for their future.As children progress into the 14-16 age range,the Education Support Dream Camps offer individualized attention and high-quality support.Transition Readiness,designed for young adults aged 16-18,equips them to make a successful transition into a broader society as they leave shelter homes. The first generation of orphans that Nedumala taught are all adults now;most of them are married and earn $240 to $250 a month on average.MAD has also provided them with interest-free money to build their first home.For many of MAD's volunteers, there is a special joy that comes from a decade-long relationship with a child."I have made a difference to 10 children I have personally worked with.They are family to me and that relationship continuously makes me happy,"says Nedumala. 4.Why did Nedumala volunteer at an orphanage?

If not properly dealt with,e-waste can release()up to 100 different chemicals into the environment.However,less than one quarter of the waste is reused.Most people will consider buying new electronics and electrical appliances if the old ones are out of order. About 80 percent of broken electronics are repairable.If anything isn't done to encourage repairs,e-waste will grow to about 74 million tons by 2030.Now a new concept is hoping to change the facts on the ground by creating"fixing factories".Two of the factories opened in Camden and Brent in the spring of 2023.The factories were inspired by the nonprofit Restart Project,which began holding repair parties about ten years ago.People were invited to have their electronics repaired over a cup of beer. "Camden is where we ran our first party almost 10 years ago,and we've enjoyed bringing our events to pubs,community centers,festivals,universities and other places,"said Fiona Dear,the charity's co-director."We hope the local fixing factory will provide an opportunity for people to take their out-of-order electronics or electrical appliances to us for repairs." But the factories may not be enough,according to Dermot,project manager for the Camden branch,who has been repairing things in his whole life."There need to be huge changes in the way our things are made,he said.Changes in the industry to make electronics repairable are necessary.This change will make the world a greener and safer place. 8.What does the author say about e-waste? A.It is very easy to reuse. B.It is kept under control. C.It grows faster than expected. D.It does not get much attention. 9.What might be the goal of the fixing factories? A.To hold repair parties for people to have a good time. B.To make people take their broken electronics for repairs. C.To encourage people to reduce the use of electronics. D.To produce electronics that can be used for much longer. 高一·英语第4页（共10页） 10.How does Restart Project work according to the text? A.It offers help and support to factories. B.It holds fixing parties in various places. C.It cooperates with different organizations.

D The Grand Canal(京杭大运河)is the longest and greatest man-made waterway in ancient China.With 27 sections and 58 historical sites,it was placed on the UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2014.Running from Hangzhou,Zhejiang Province in the south to Beijing in the north and connecting different river systems,the Grand Canal contributed greatly to ensuring that the Chinese primary economy thrived in past dynasties. The Grand Canal we see today was built section by section in different areas and dynasties before it was linked together by the Sui Dynasty(581-618).In 604 CE, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty toured Luoyang.The following year,he moved the capital to Luoyang and ordered a large-scale expansion of the canal.Due to the primitive building techniques,it took over six years to complete the project.About half the peasant builders about 3,000.000)died of hard labor and hunger before it was finished.This project was thought to have been a waste of manpower and money,which resulted in the downfall of the Sui Dynasty. As a major transportation hub(),the Grand Canal connected the Yangtze, Yellow,Huaihe,Haihe,and Qiantang Rivers and flowed through Beijing,Tianjin, Hebei,Shandong,Jiangsu and Zhejiang,with Hangzhou as its southernmost end.The Grand Canal,which joined the river systems from different directions,provided a good way to transport foods and goods from south to north.Just as importantly,it greatly improved the administration and defense of China as a whole and strengthened economic and cultural connections between north and south. Boating on the old Canal is one of the best ways to get a panoramic(view of 高一·英语第5页（共10页）】 the landscape of typical river towns in southern China,which include ancient dwellings, stone bridges of traditional designs and historical relics.Experiencing some of the local customs offers much delight to travelers.Tourists also have an opportunity to enjoy good food while appreciating the surrounding scenery. 12.What is mainly talked about in the first paragraph?
