一、阅读理解
Passage A
In the heart of the Amazon rainforest,a quiet revolution is underway,led not by politicians or
corporations,but by a young woman named Dike Okoro.Growing up in a small fishing village in
Nigeria,Dike witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of deforestation and water pollution on her
community.The rivers,once teeming with life,were being choked by industrial waste,and the forest,
which provided food and shelter,was shrinking.Rather than accepting this as inevitable,Dike,at the age
of 17,decided to act.
She started small,organizing local youth groups to clean up the riverbanks.The initial efforts were
modest,often met with skepticism from elders who saw it as a futile gesture against powerful industries.
However,Dike's perseverance was infectious.She used social media to document the clean-ups,sharing
images of the trash collected and the small signs ofrecovery-a fish retumning,a bird nesting.This digital
record began to attract attention beyond her village.
What truly set Dike apart was her innovative approach.She realized that cleaning up was only half the
battle,they needed to create an economic incentive for conservation.She learned about aquaponics-a
system that combines fish farming with plant cultivation in a closed-loop,water-efficient system.Dike
secured a small grant from an international environmental foundation and,with her team,built a
demonstration aquaponics farm on a patch of degraded land.The farm produced fresh vegetables and
fish,providing both food and a small income for participating families.
The success of the project created a powerful ripple effect.Seeing the tangible benefits,neighboring
villages began to adopt similar methods.Dike's model proved that environmental restoration and
economic development could go hand in hand.Her story is a powerful testament to the difference one
determined individual can make,proving that change does not always require massive resources,but
rather vision,courage,and an unwavering commitment to a better future.She didn't just clean a river,she
re-imagined the relationship between a community and its environment.
()1.What initially motivated Dike Okoro to take action?
A.A large grant from an environmental foundation.
B.The encouragement from her village elders.
C.The severe environmental problems in her hometown.
D.Her desire to become famous on social media
()2.What does the underlined word perseverance"in paragraph 2 most likely mean?
A.Consistent effort despite difficulties
B.Sudden anger at injustice.
C.Creative ideas for problem-solving.
D.Quick decision-making ability
()3.What made Dike's project"innovative"according to the passage?
A.It was the first clean-up effort in her village
B.It focused only on cleaning the riverbanks.
C.It used social media to document the process.
D.It linked environmental protection with economic benefits
()4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Dike's project failed to inspire other communities
B.The results of Dike's work were limited to her village
C.Dike's approach offers a sustainable model for change.
D.The government finally stepped in to support Dike's work.
Passage B
The termdigital divide"typically refers to the gap between those who have access to modem
information technology and those who do not.While much attention is given to the lack of hardware like
computers and smartphones,an equally significant,and perhaps more stubbom,barrier is the lack of
digital literacy.However,a unique program in India is proving that this divide can be bridged,one
community at a time.
Started by a non-profit organization,the "Tech-Savvy Grandmas"initiative turns traditional wisdom on its
head by training elderly women,many of whom are grandmothers,to become digital ambassadors for
their rural villages.These women,often with little to no formal education,leamn to use tablets and
smartphones to access government services,health information,and even online banking.The training is
not just about technical skills,it's designed to build confidence.Leamning in a supportive group
environment,the women overcome their initial fear of technology.
The impact has been profound.In one village,a grandmother named Lakshmi,after completing the
program,helped a neighbor apply for a government pension online,a process that would have previously
required a long and costly tip to the city.Another used a weather app to help her farmer son decide the
best time for planting.These women have become the first point of contact for digital needs in their
communities.They are not just users of technology,they are teachers,troubleshooters,and advocates.
Critics might argue that teaching the elderly to use apps is a small solution to a vast problem.But the
program's designers argue that empowering these women has a multiplying effect.When a grandmother
learns,she teaches her family.When she gains confidence,she encourages other women to leamn.The
initiative demonstrates that tackling the digital divide requires more than just distributing devices;it
requires culturally sensitive,community-based solutions that build trust and human connection.By
turning the most unlikely candidates into digital pioneers,the "Tech-Savvy Grandmas"project is quietly
redefining what it means to make a difference in the digital age,proving that age is no barrier to learning
and that the greatest change often starts with the smallest,most personal interactions.
()5.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The digital divide is only about access to hardware.
B.Elderly women in India are leaming to use technology.
C.A unique program is bridging the digital divide by empowering elderly women.
D.Grandmothers are the best teachers of digital skills in rural areas.
()6.According to the passage,what is a significant barier of the digital divide beyond a lack of
hardware?
A.High cost ofinternet service.
B.Lack of digital skills and confidence.
C.Government restrictions on technology
D.Resistance from younger generations.
()7.How does the "Tech-Savvy Grandmas"initiative create a"multiplying effect"?
A.By giving each grandmother multiple devices.
B.By teaching the women to start their own tech companies.
C.Through the women spreading their knowledge to family and community.
D.By providing online courses that can be accessed by millions.
()8.What is the author's attitude towards the Tech-Savvy Grandmas"project?
A.Critical and doubtful.
B.Objective and neutral.
C.Admiring and supportive
D.Indifferent and unconcerned.
二、完形填空
When I was a child,I often looked up at the night sky,filled with wonder.I dreamed of becoming an
astronaut,exploring distant galaxies.This childhood passion for space led me to study engineering,but
along the way,I realized I could make a difference right here on Earth.
A few years ago,I volunteered for an organization that uses satellite technology to track(1)
n
remote areas.On a trip to a small Indonesian island,I met a fisherman named Wayan.He told me his
community was struggling.The fish they depended on for food and income were(2)
because
of rising sea temperatures and pollution.The coral reefs,which once provided a habitat for the fish,were
(3)
He had heard that scientists had maps showing these changes,but he had never seen them.
This (4)
was a barier between knowledge and action.
Inspired by Wayan,I started a project with some fiiends.Our goal was to translate complex satellite data
into simple,(5)
maps and information that local fishing communities could understand and use
The data on sea surface temperature,ocean currents,and algae blooms,which once seemed like abstract
numbers,could now point fishermen to areas where fish were more likely to be found,saving them time
and fuel.We also created a mobile app that provided(6)
information about protected marine
areas and pollution warnings.
The project was not without its challenges.At first,many fishermen were(7)
of our
technology,viewing it with the same skepticism they had for outside interventions.We had to build trust
by spending time in their villages,listening to their concerns,and showing them how the data could help
We didn't just give them a tool;we taught them how to use it and adapt it to their needs.We leamned as
much from their local knowledge as they leamned from our data.
Slowly,the(⑧)
began to show.Wayan and other fishermen reported catching more fish while
spending less time at sea,which was better for their families and the environment.They started to see the
ocean not just as a resource to be taken from,but as an ecosystem to be protected.The project didn't just
change how they fished;it changed how they saw themselves-not as victims of environmental change,
but as active(9)
in its solution
My childhood dream was to reach for the stars,but I found that sometimes,the most profound difference
you can make is to help someone see their own world more clearly.It is a powerful reminder that
technology,when used (10)
can be a bridge,not a barrier.

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the following passage and answer the questions in your own words.
When Dr.Jane Goodall first arrived at the Gombe Stream Reserve in Tanzania in 1960,she was a young,
unqualified woman with a passion for animals.Most scientists of the time believed that only humans used
and made tools.However,through months of patient,meticulous observation,Goodall made a
breakthrough discovery:she watched a chimpanzee named David Greybeard strip a leaf from a twig and
use it to "fish'for termites.This single observation changed the scientific understanding of the
relationship between humans and animals.It challenged the long-held definition of what it means to be
human.
Goodall's methods were as revolutionary as her findings.Instead of assigning numbers to the
chimpanzees,she gave them names like Fifi and Flo,recognizing their unique personalities and emotional
lives.She persevered in the field for decades,meticulously documenting their complex social structures,
family bonds,and even their capacity for violence and warfare.Her work at Gombe has provided an
unparalleled window into the lives of our closest living relatives.
Beyond her scientific contributions,Goodall became a passionate advocate for conservation.Seeing the
destruction of the chimpanzees'habitat,she shifted her focus from research to activism.She founded the
Jane Goodall Institute,which works to protect chimpanzees and their habitats,and she travels the world
tirelessly,speaking to audiences about the interconnectedness of all living things.Her"Roots Shoots"
program empowers young people in nearly 100 countries to become involved in environmental and
humanitarian projects.Dr.Goodall's story is not just about observing chimpanzees;it is about how one
person's dedication,patience,and willingness to challenge authority can spark a global movement for
change,leaving a legacy that extends far beyond the forests of Gombe.
1.What was Jane Goodall's famous discovery at Gombe that challenged the scientific community?
2.In what way were Jane Goodall's research methods considered revolutionary"?

Making a Difference
I used to think making a difference required grand gestures until I saw my neighbor,Mr.Chen,in action.
He noticed many elderly people in our community struggled with technology,especially using
smartphones for hospital appointments.
Spending his weekends,Mr.Chen,a retired engineer,started a free workshop in his living room.He
patiently taught them how to book appointments,read messages,and even video-call their grandchildren
At first,only three people came.But over time,word spread,and his little class grew to over twenty
"students."
This small act has brought our community closer.The elderly feel less isolated and more confident.For
me,Mr.Chen's kindness redefined "Making a Difference."It isn't about fame or wealth;it's about using
your unique skills and time to meet a real need.A difference isn't measured by its scale,but by the
positive impact it has on even one person's life.A little patience and a lot ofheart can truly change the
world,one small act at a time.
