An Indonesian librarian is lending books to children in exchange for trash they collect in a novel way to clean up the environment and get the kids to read more.
Each weekday, Raden Roro Hendarti, a librarian in Indonesia’s Java Island rides her three-wheeler with books piled up at the back for children in Muntang village to exchange for plastic cups, bags and other waste that she carries back. As soon as she shows up, little children, many accompanied by their mothers, surround her “Trash Library” and ask loudly for the books. They are all carrying trash bags and Raden’s three-wheeler quickly fills up with them as the books fly out. She’s happy the kids are going to spend less time on online games as a result.
“Let us get kids to read more and build a culture of literacy from a young age,” Raden said. “We should also take care of our waste in order to fight against climate change and to save the earth from trash,” she said.
She collects about 100 kg of waste each week, which is then sorted out by her colleagues and sent for recycling or sold. She has a stock of 6,000 books to lend and wants to take the mobile service to neighboring areas as well.
Kevin Alamsyah, an eager 11-year-old reader, looks for waste lying in the village. “When there is too much trash, our environment will become dirty and it’s not healthy. That’s why I look for trash to borrow a book,” he says.
The literacy rate for above-15-year-olds in Indonesia is around 96 percent, but a September report by the World Bank warned that the pandemic will leave more than 80% of 15-year-olds below the minimum reading level identified by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
8. What is “Trash Library” like?
A. Well-decorated. B. Noisy and dirty. C. Relaxing. D. Popular.
9. Why does Raden run the “Trash Library”?
A. To fight against climate change.
B. To collect trash for money.
C. To help kids get away from online games.
D. To get kids to read more and care for the environment.
10. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Indonesia’s environmental situation is worrying.
B. People in Indonesia has a very low literacy rate.
C The trash library has been introduced to many other cities.
D. The pandemic has a negative effect on teenagers’ reading.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. A Novel Way to Improve Library B. The Indonesian System for Reading
C. Your Trash Benefiting the Environment D. Your Collected Trash for Our Books
D
Local government and firefighters in the United States are always managing to look for new and creative methods to help keep wildfires under control. Especially during the hot and dry summer months, thousands of wildfires spread through forests every year. The city of West Sacramento in North California has found a creative secret weapon (秘密武器) to help address this problem. The secret weapon, believe it or not, is goats (山羊)!
In their wake, the dangerous fires cause loss of life, and cause damage to land and neighboring communities. By thinking out of the box, the decision to use goats for fire prevention has proven (证明) to be a success.
These friendly animals have been helping the city with wildfire prevention by eating the dry grass and dead trees. When the goats eat the things that are likely to catch fire, they stop the problem before it grows!
Wildfires can happen naturally, when dry plants catch fire because of the sun’s heat. However, most wildfires are caused by human carelessness. The best way to fight the fires and lessen the damage is to try to clear away the things that encourage the fire’s spread, in this case the dry grass, trees and plants. If the things that are most likely to catch fire are gone, the fire is less likely to spread.
This is a very environmentally friendly solution on many levels, and super effective as well. The loveable goats are able to reach difficult areas that grass cutters would not be able to reach. Firefighters and government officials could not be happier with the results. West Sacramento public information officer, Paul Hosely, said that about 400 of these goats can clear an area of about two acres per day. They even fertilize (使肥沃) the area, a natural and free side effect of eating all those dry plants.
Although this effort is costly, it has paid off. A few weeks ago, a fire near the Oakland Zoo spread quickly. Fire breaks made by the goats helped stop it from growing and spreading, and kept the people in the area and their properties (财产) safe.
12. What does the underlined part “this problem” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A The shortage of firefighters in the U. S. B. Loss of life caused by extreme weather.
C. The growth of wildfires across wooded areas. D. Damage to land caused by some wild animals.
13. How do goats help West Sacramento?
A. By fertilizing gardens. B. By creating fire breaks.
C. By warning of possible danger. D. By controlling overgrown grass.
14. How does the author show the solution’s effectiveness in paragraph5?
A. By using experts’ words. B. By providing examples.
C. By showing differences. D. By describing a process.
15. The author used the event near the Oakland Zoo to show _________.
A. the side effect of the mentioned solution B. the popularity of the mentioned solution
C. the high cost of the mentioned solution D. the success of the mentioned solution

51. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
My children were sitting at the kitchen table, playing a game. They had taken some cards and written a secret word on each one. Without looking at the word on the card, they had to put the card on their foreheads. Then they took turns asking yes-or-no questions until they were able to guess the secret word on their card. “In my secret word ‘fork’!” Jordan asked.
“Yes! You got it! You won!” both of his sisters yelled.
Minutes later, my youngest daughter Julia said, “Mommy, mine in really hard.” I nodded sympathetically (同情地). The poor girl didn’t stand a chance. The card on her forehead read “love”.
She’d already asked more than a dozen questions, and each answer seemed to confuse her even more. Then, she asked, “Is it invisible (看不见的)?”
Lea and Jordan looked at one another, unsure of how to answer. They asked me, “Mom, what do you think? Is the word on Julia’s card invisible?”
I paused. Is love invisible? In the game, it obviously was. “Well, yes, the word on Julia’s card is invisible,” I said. “We can’t see it in the same way we can see an object like a fork or a bird.”
Poor Julia shook her head. “I still don’t get it.”
I said, “Julia, when I want to show you your word, I make your favorite dinner.”
Julia thought for a minute, “Is my word ‘hungry’?”
I smiled. “No, but that was a good try. If you wanted to show me your word, you would give me a hug or a kiss.”
Julia’s eyes lit up. “Mom, my word is ‘love’!”
I nodded, and the kids clapped. Then, they chose new cards.
But later, when the kids finished playing the game, Julia came to me and said, “Mom, I think love should never be invisible.” I smiled and nodded my head. Then I thought about my day and how I spent my time. I had to admit that I was too busy cooking and cleaning to show actual love. But young children didn’t appreciate clean floors. They even didn’t notice those things, let alone feel loved by them. I decided to change.
Paragraph 1:
I gathered the kids together and asked what visible love they wanted.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

An Indonesian librarian is lending books to children in exchange for trash they collect in a novel way to clean up the environment and get the kids to read more.
Each weekday, Raden Roro Hendarti, a librarian in Indonesia’s Java Island rides her three-wheeler with books piled up at the back for children in Muntang village to exchange for plastic cups, bags and other waste that she carries back. As soon as she shows up, little children, many accompanied by their mothers, surround her “Trash Library” and ask loudly for the books. They are all carrying trash bags and Raden’s three-wheeler quickly fills up with them as the books fly out. She’s happy the kids are going to spend less time on online games as a result.
“Let us get kids to read more and build a culture of literacy from a young age,” Raden said. “We should also take care of our waste in order to fight against climate change and to save the earth from trash,” she said.
She collects about 100 kg of waste each week, which is then sorted out by her colleagues and sent for recycling or sold. She has a stock of 6,000 books to lend and wants to take the mobile service to neighboring areas as well.
Kevin Alamsyah an eager 11-year-old reader, looks for waste lying in the village. “When there is too much trash, our environment will become dirty and it’s not healthy. That’s why I look for trash to borrow a book,” he says.
The literacy rate for above-15-year-olds in Indonesia is around 96 percent, but a September report by the World Bank warned that the pandemic will leave more than 80% of 15-year-olds below the minimum reading level identified by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
8. What is “Trash Library” like?
A. Well-decorated. B. Noisy and dirty. C. Relaxing. D. Popular.
9. Why does Raden run the “Trash Library”?
A. To fight against climate change.
B. To collect trash for money.
C. To help kids get away from online games.
D. To get kids to read more and care for the environment.
10. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Indonesia’s environmental situation is worrying.
B. People in Indonesia has a very low literacy rate.
C. The trash library has been introduced to many other cities.
D. The pandemic has a negative effect on teenagers’ reading.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. A Novel Way to Improve Library B. The Indonesian System for Reading
C. Your Trash Benefiting the Environment D. Your Collected Trash for Our Books
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. D 11. D

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“An Indonesian librarian is lending books to children in exchange for trash they collect in a novel way to clean up the environment and get the kids to read more.”(一名印尼图书管理员正在借书给孩子们,以一种新颖的方式交换他们收集的垃圾,从而清洁环境,让孩子们多读书。)以及文章内容可知,文章主要讲述了孩子们可以用收集来的垃圾换书看,所以“你收集垃圾换得我们的书”可以作为文章标题。故选D项。

Local government and firefighters in the United States are always managing to look for new and creative methods to help keep wildfires under control. Especially during the hot and dry summer months, thousands of wildfires spread through forests every year. The city of West Sacramento in North California has found a creative secret weapon (秘密武器) to help address this problem. The secret weapon, believe it or not, is goats (山羊)!
In their wake, the dangerous fires cause loss of life, and cause damage to land and neighboring communities. By thinking out of the box, the decision to use goats for fire prevention has proven (证明) to be a success.
These friendly animals have been helping the city with wildfire prevention by eating the dry grass and dead trees. When the goats eat the things that are likely to catch fire, they stop the problem before it grows!
Wildfires can happen naturally, when dry plants catch fire because of the sun’s heat. However, most wildfires are caused by human carelessness. The best way to fight the fires and lessen the damage is to try to clear away the things that encourage the fire’s spread, in this case the dry grass, trees and plants. If the things that are most likely to catch fire are gone, the fire is less likely to spread.
This is a very environmentally friendly solution on many levels, and super effective as well. The loveable goats are able to reach difficult areas that grass cutters would not be able to reach. Firefighters and government officials could not be happier with the results. West Sacramento public information officer, Paul Hosely, said that about 400 of these goats can clear an area of about two acres per day. They even fertilize (使肥沃) the area, a natural and free side effect of eating all those dry plants.
Although this effort is costly, it has paid off. A few weeks ago, a fire near the Oakland Zoo spread quickly. Fire breaks made by the goats helped stop it from growing and spreading, and kept the people in the area and their properties (财产) safe.
12. What does the underlined part “this problem” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The shortage of firefighters in the U. S. B. Loss of life caused by extreme weather.
C. The growth of wildfires across wooded areas. D. Damage to land caused by some wild animals.
13. How do goats help West Sacramento?
A. By fertilizing gardens. B. By creating fire breaks.
C. By warning of possible danger. D. By controlling overgrown grass.
14. How does the author show the solution’s effectiveness in paragraph5?
A. By using experts’ words. B. By providing examples.
C. By showing differences. D. By describing a process.
15. The author used the event near the Oakland Zoo to show _________.
A. the side effect of the mentioned solution B. the popularity of the mentioned solution
C. the high cost of the mentioned solution D. the success of the mentioned solution
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】

【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Especially during the hot and dry summer months, thousands of wildfires spread through forests every year.(尤其是在炎热干燥的夏季,每年都有成千上万的森林火灾在森林中蔓延开来)”可知,第一段讲美国每年夏天都有大量野火在森林蔓延,西萨克拉门托市找到秘密武器(山羊)来解决this problem,指代的就是森林地区野火频发、扩散的问题。故划线词指的是“林区范围内野火的蔓延情况”。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“These friendly animals have been helping the city with wildfire prevention by eating the dry grass and dead trees.(这些友好的动物通过吞食干燥的草和枯树,为这座城市提供了防火方面的帮助)”可知,山羊通过开辟防火隔离带为西萨克拉门托市做出贡献。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“West Sacramento public information officer, Paul Hosely, said that about 400 of these goats can clear an area of about two acres per day.(西萨克拉门托市的公共信息官员保罗·霍塞利表示,这些山羊每天大约能清理两英亩左右的区域)”可知,作者通过引用专家的话展示该解决方案的有效性。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although this effort is costly, it has paid off. A few weeks ago, a fire near the Oakland Zoo spread quickly. Fire breaks made by the goats helped stop it from growing and spreading, and kept the people in the area and their properties (财产) safe.(尽管这项举措成本高昂,但最终还是取得了成效。几周前,奥克兰动物园附近发生了一场大火,火势迅速蔓延。而这些由山羊搭建的防火屏障帮助阻止了火势的扩大和蔓延,使该区域的居民及其财产得以安全)”可知,作者以奥克兰动物园附近发生的这一事件为例,来展示所提及解决方案的成效。故选D。

51. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
My children were sitting at the kitchen table, playing a game. They had taken some cards and written a secret word on each one. Without looking at the word on the card, they had to put the card on their foreheads. Then they took turns asking yes-or-no questions until they were able to guess the secret word on their card. “In my secret word ‘fork’!” Jordan asked.
“Yes! You got it! You won!” both of his sisters yelled.
Minutes later, my youngest daughter Julia said, “Mommy, mine in really hard.” I nodded sympathetically (同情地). The poor girl didn’t stand a chance. The card on her forehead read “love”.
She’d already asked more than a dozen questions, and each answer seemed to confuse her even more. Then, she asked, “Is it invisible (看不见的)?”
Lea and Jordan looked at one another, unsure of how to answer. They asked me, “Mom, what do you think? Is the word on Julia’s card invisible?”
I paused. Is love invisible? In the game, it obviously was. “Well, yes, the word on Julia’s card is invisible,” I said. “We can’t see it in the same way we can see an object like a fork or a bird.”
Poor Julia shook her head. “I still don’t get it.”
I said, “Julia, when I want to show you your word, I make your favorite dinner.”
Julia thought for a minute, “Is my word ‘hungry’?”
I smiled. “No, but that was a good try. If you wanted to show me your word, you would give me a hug or a kiss.”
Julia’s eyes lit up. “Mom, my word is ‘love’!”
I nodded, and the kids clapped. Then, they chose new cards.
But later, when the kids finished playing the game, Julia came to me and said, “Mom, I think love should never be invisible.” I smiled and nodded my head. Then I thought about my day and how I spent my time. I had to admit that I was too busy cooking and cleaning to show actual love. But young children didn’t appreciate clean floors. They even didn’t notice those things, let alone feel loved by them. I decided to change.
Paragraph 1:
I gathered the kids together and asked what visible love they wanted.

【答案】One possible version:
I gathered the kids together and asked what visible love they wanted. I found a pen and a notebook to make a list. Then they actively put forward their suggestions: baking more brownies, having a water balloon fight and so on. Julia gave the most. Soon, I had more than a dozen suggestion. Some were completely possible, and others were really hard. But I had a starting point. I put the list on the fridge and determined to make good use of it.
Over the next few weeks, I picked several suggestions from the list and had a try. I made more cookies and played more games. I read books and kicked soccer balls. It was a great time. One afternoon, Julia came into the kitchen and told me she was seeing my love. Actually I didn’t change much. I just did more playing and less cleaning. I’d given them more of my time, and what I’d gotten in return was worth it.

【答案】范文
Change begins with you
As we know, the number of wild animal is becoming smaller and smaller. Some of them are even dying out. The reasons are as follows:
To start with, people have been cutting down trees for building, causing some animals to lose their habitats. Besides, farmers use too much pesticide, which endangers the lives of some animals. In addition, to make money, some people have been killing rare wild animals.
In my opinion, it’s time we took immediate measures to change the situation. We shouldn’t cut down trees without permission. Instead, we are supposed to plant more trees to protect the animals’ living conditions. At the same time, more nature reserves are expected to be set up.
I believe as long as we take action immediately, we will live in harmony with animals and life will become better.
