周末提升六 语法选择 Elephants never forget a tune In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand, there is a group of musicians that is different from any other. They play a variety of music, from traditional Thai songs to famous music 1 by Beethoven. People of all ages enjoy their performances, 2 what makes them really special is that these musicians are elephants!  These clever elephants are part of the Thai Elephant Conservation Center (TECC), a place that helps protect elephants and teaches people how to care for these gentle giants. The TECC also encourages elephants to paint, as some zoos do around the world. Richard Lair, 3 expert working with the TECC, thought that elephants are smart and have great hearing, so they could do even more. He came up with the idea to see 4 elephants could play music. So, Lair and his friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra (乐团). During performances, the elephants play instruments like drums and xylophones (木 琴). They 5 use their trunks (象鼻) and voices to make different sounds. Lair believes that elephants don’t just copy their trainers; they create 6 own music. They are very creative and 7 produce unique sounds. This orchestra is not just for fun. The 8 music helps raise money for the TECC and raise awareness (意识) about the importance of protecting elephants. The music also shows 9 smart these animals are, which helps people understand that elephants need respect (尊重) and care. The Thai Elephant Orchestra 10 famous, and the music they create has even been recorded on CDs. People around the world can now listen to the amazing sounds made by these musical elephants, which also helps to support their protection. ( )1. A. writing B. to write C. written ( )2.

More and more female hosts are 1 the industry (行业), and with it, their influence in this field is now increasing, said The Paper. They often 2 thoughts about their understanding of life and society from a female point of view.  Take Shanhe as 3 example. In a program 4 Stand-up Comedy and Its Friends  (《脱口秀和Ta的朋友们》), she talked about how she is happy with her “overweight (肥胖的)” body and enjoys eating. She shared how her male friend made 5 of her because she ate too much. “He told me that if I were slim (苗条的) he’d marry me. That made 6 want to eat more,” Shanhe joked.  “Her positive attitude (积极的态度) helped with my appearance anxiety (容貌焦虑) so much!” said a woman on Bilibili. 7 female comedians use their shows to point out the challenges they face in their daily lives. The comedian known as Echo shared how unimportant she feels when compared to her brothers due to her gender (性别). And the comedian Zhang Hui talked 8 the less-than-warm welcome she has received in the dating world and the workplace because she is “too aggressive (强势的)”. “Why do people think ‘aggressive’ is a good thing in a man, 9 a problem in a woman?” she asked. Many females relate a lot to these comedians’ stories, which are also helping bring more 10 to gender equality issues (平等议题). Although some say that they are starting gender conflicts (对立), others believe that they use the stage to speak for women and break stereotypes (刻板印象) about women. “They share their painful stories in a humorous way. They show the public how life is from a female point of view,” noted China Women’s News. 1_________ 2___________ 3___________ 4____________ 5____________ 6_________ 7___________ 8___________ 9____________ 10___________ 回答问题 Purple power The last time you went to buy a coffee or a Coke, what kind of cup did it come in? In Petaluma, California, US, to-go drinks are now served in a type of purple cup. Each cup has a QR code (二维码). More than 60 special bins (桶) have been set up around the city to collect these cups. Workers will come later to clean them and send them back to shops for reuse, reported CBS News. The city-wide project is the first of its kind in the US. It aims to stop the use of disposable (一次性的) cups, which have been around since the early 1900s. Before the invention of disposable cups, people shared wooden (木制的) or metal (金属的) cups for drinking. Lawrence Luellen, a lawyer (律师) in Boston, US, was worried about the spread of germs (细菌的传播). So he invented a disposable “Health Cup” made of paper in 1907. It quickly caught on, especially after the serious Spanish flu (西班牙流感) in 1918. Disposable cups are common. Today’s disposable cups also have polystyrene (聚苯乙烯) in them. This type of plastic (塑料) helps keep the drinks warm. However, it takes about 500 years to completely break up. Every year, people in the US throw away 50 billion single-use cups, according to The Guardian. This is bad for our planet. For example, polystyrene turns into small pieces with time. Animals may eat them and get hurt.     Since its start on Aug 1, the purple cup project in Petaluma has received wide attention. More than 30 businesses have joined in, including Starbucks and Coca-Cola. They are tracing (追踪) the QR codes on the cups to see how many of them are being reused. The project will end in November. What comes next depends on how it goes, reported The Guardian. 阅读上面短文,回答下列问题: 1.
