When Kelly was twelve, she started taking classes at Miss Grace's School for Art. She didn't like it at first: the“novice artists”—— the kids who hadn't really done art before —— worked mostly with clay, and Kelly was a terrible sculptor(雕塑家).
It wasn't until that year that Kelly found something she was really good at—— charcoal drawing(素描). She loved watching the lines spread unevenly across the page as she moved the bits of charcoal back and forth over the paper.
One day, Sophia, the best artist in her class, sat down and set up her easel(画架) next to Kelly. Kelly felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. She'd actually found an art form that she enjoyed —— and was it going to be new and Sophia was going to outshine her again? Kelly fought back tears when Miss Grace entered the room.
“Hello class,” Miss Grace said.“We' ll continue to work on the project today.”
What masterpiece would Sophia have come up with?
Kelly looked at Sophia's easel and she couldn't believe it —— it was a mess! For a short moment,
Kelly couldn't actually believe her drawing was better than Sophia's. But then she looked at Sophia,who was watching Kelly with an anxious expression.
“I … I couldn't decide what to do,” Sophia said.“And you' re so good. Sometimes I feel like my work is just so bad in comparison.”
Kelly looked to see if Sophia was joking, but she seemed completely serious. Now Kelly was surprised.“I'm not talented... Miss Grace seldom praises me. You' re the best one in our class!”
Sophia raised her eyebrows.“I might be a really good copier of the works, but I have no idea what to do when it comes to making up my own images. You are so great at making new things out of the old works. I've loved your works.”
“I've loved yours, too,” Kelly said.
“Well, definitely not this one,” Sophia said.
Kelly smiled.“Maybe not right now. But if you move these lines up ...” she said, pointing her finger on Sophia's paper.
Sophia was quiet for a moment.“That's a great idea!” she said finally.
Kelly smiled and turned back to her drawing, looking every so often at Sophia's work to see that she was taking her advice, down to the last line.
( ) 28. What does the underlined word“outshine” mean in this story?
A. Help someone improve. B. Make someone feel happy.
C. Do better than someone. D. Become friends with someone.
( ) 29. What can we learn about Kelly and Sophia?
A. They found they could learn from each other.
B. They decided to work together on a new project.
C. Kelly realized she was a better artist than Sophia.
D. Sophia learned how to use charcoal for the first time.
( ) 30. Which is the best title for this story?

Have you ever heard of upcycling? It is a way of turning old or unnecessary things into something useful and often beautiful. ①
Is it the same as recycling? Recycling usually takes old things,like paper and glass, and breaks them down to make a new product.When you upcycle an object, you are probably doing something different. You can simply refashion it. For example, you might make a bag out of an old T-shirt. Also, the upcycled object is usually in the same, or even better condition.
② In those days, things were repurposed over and over until they were no longer useful.Upcycling is a way of life. Things shouldn't be just thrown away when they can be saved and turned into something useful.
It's clear that upcycling is green. It is also considered to be more environmentally friendly than recycling. Upcycling can just require your own ideas and work, but recycling requires energy or water to break down things. ③
Grace, a young woman from the UK, takes used tea bags and turns them into dresses, shoes and even hats. Every day she drinks some tea, then dries out the tea bags with the tea still in them. When they' re dry, she takes the tea out and puts the bags together to make an item of clothing. This can take a long time,but Grace has made lots of artworks.
④ In fact, whether you create objects from old things or buy ready-made products from upcycled things, both ways are helpful for the environment and can bring you something that's both beautiful and useful. Get started today!
( ) 31. What is the difference between upcycling and recycling according to the passage?
A. Recycling uses more energy than upcycling.
B. Upcycling breaks old things into small pieces.
C. Recycling can only use paper and glass.

( ) 32. The following sentence can best be put in the place of .

A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
( ) 33. Why does the writer tell the story of Grace in paragraph 5?
A. To list the steps of doing upcycling. B. To give a good example of upcycling.
C. To express a different idea of upcycling. D. To provide basic knowledge of upcycling.

Transformative travel

Firstly, you go to a place with a different background. 37 And finally you return home and apply(运用) what you have learned to your life. This last step is the difference between the two types.
Visiting disappearing places
38 Everett Potter, a USA Today writer, says that the South Pole(极) and the North Pole have both become popular places. Another popular place is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, which might disappear in the near future.
Green Travel
Going green will be one of the most popular ways this year. One way to plan a green trip is to travel a shorter distance(距离). 39 Another way is to choose a place that will benefit the most from your
trip. For example, places like Nepal will make a lot of money through the local tourist industry and develop quickly.
A. It can help to protect the environment.
B. But there are some ways to save money when travelling.
C. Then you learn new culture and get to know new people.
D. Can tourists get even more from their travelling experience?

For Chen Sheng, a young man in Meitan, Guizhou province, caring for the elderly is more than a job —— it's a calling in his heart. Chen Sheng was raised by his grandparents, and his dream was to take care of more elderly people. After graduating in 2017 with a degree in healthcare, Chen Sheng chose to work in a nursing home.
In his early working days, what he met was more difficult than expected. He got up at 6 a. m. to help with morning tasks. He provided full bedside care, especially for the elderly who had to stay in bed all the time. Often, his day didn't end until 11 p. m. He wanted to give up the job at first, but after a period, he received the warmth and trust from the elderly and he changed his mind.
Using his medical knowledge, Chen Sheng takes care of the elderly in a proper way, including physical examination, health guidance, advice on food and so on.“I arrived at the nursing home with lots
of illnesses and could only lie in bed. After two months of good medical care by Chen Sheng, I was able to walk again by myself. Life here is very convenient, from satisfying daily services to good medical care,just like at home,” said Grandpa Li.
Besides good medical care, Chen Sheng also gives emotional(情感的) support. He always offers comfort in time when a grandpa or a grandma is upset. Grandma Sun likes to talk with Chen Sheng every day and always shares the things she considers valuable. Grandma Sun feels warm and happy because of Chen Sheng. Her family thanks him for his patience and great love.
As the needs for elderly care continue to grow, more and more young people, including those born after 2000, have come to work in the nursing home. They are making every effort to take good care of the elderly and make them live a happy life.
71. When did Chen Sheng begin to work in a nursing home?

73. What happened to Grandpa Li after Chen Sheng took care of him for two months?
74. Which two types of care does Chen Sheng provide for the elderly?
