1．Every year a community in some part of the world is destroyed by flooding.Indeed，flooding can happen anywhere it rains.There is hope，however.Architects and civil engineers have developed promising technologies for flood control.And yes，engineering can be beautiful.
The Thames Barrier in England
The Thames Barrier is the second largest flood defence barrier in the world.Made of steel，water gates on the Thames Barrier are normally left open so ships can pass through.Then，as needed，the water gates shut to stop water flowing through and to keep the Thames River safe.The Thames Barrier has 10 steel gates.The main gates stand as high as a 5-storey building.Each main gate weighs 3，300 tonnes.The Thames Barrier gates were constructed between 1974 and 1984 and have been closed to prevent floods more than 100 times.
Red Sluice Gate in Japan
To protect areas on the coast and along Japan's rapidly-flowing rivers，the nation's engineers have developed a complex system of canals and flood-gate locks（水閘）.Red Sluice Gate was designed in 1924 by a Japanese architect who also worked on the Panama Canal.It is powered by automated "water-drive" motors.Such motors don't need electricity to run，so they aren't affected by power failures that can occur during storms.It contributed greatly to preventing floods until 1982 when a new sluice gate was completed.The Red Sluice Gate was no longer used but remains an impressive sight.
The Hagestein Weir in the Netherlands
Completed in about 1960，the Hagestein Weir is one of three movable dams，along the Rhine River in the Nejye.airlands.The Hagestein Weir has two enormous arched gates to control water and generate power.Spanning 54 meters，the gates are stored in the up position.Dams and water barriers like Hagestein Weir have become models for water control engineers around the world.
MOSE in Venice
With its famous canals，Venice，Italy is a well-known watery city.Global warming threatens its very existence.Since the 1980s，officials have been pouring money into the MOSE project，a series of 78 barriers that can rise collectively or independently across the lagoon opening and curtail the rising waters of the Adriatic Sea.

2．Norwood，a junior High School student，was driving three friends home in St.Petersburg，when another driver crashed into her from her left and made her car hit the tree.The impact jammed shut the driver's side door，so Norwood climbed out the front window.Two of her friends managed to get out of the car unharmed，but her 16-year-old friend Zarria didn't.She run back to the car only to find Zarria was just sitting there reactionless.
A lot of people started to gather around to see what was happening.Norwood started yelling， "Back up，back up，she needs space." Norwood pulled Zarria out of the back seat，avoiding broken glass from the window. "That's when I checked her pulse on her neck.I put my head against her chest，and I didn't really hear nothing.So that's when I just started doing CPR on her." Norwood told the reporter.After the 30 compressions and two rescue breaths，Zarria regained consciousness.Ambulance quickly arrived and rushed her to the hospital to receive medical help.
When Miller，Norwood's high school teacher，learned that Norwood saved a friend just one day after completing CPR training，she was at a loss of words and so proud.Norwood participates in the school's Athletic Lifestyle Management Academy （ALMA）.The program prepares students for various careers in health science. "We do vital signs and they learn how to take blood pressure and check pulse." Miller introduced.And another one of the skills learned is CPR. "There are two components，a hands-on skills component where they have to demonstrate that they're able to do CPR well，and then there's a written test component，showing that they remember that knowledge."
Thanks to Norwood's quick thinking，Zarria is recovering well.She also isn't surprised by her friend's actions. "She will always help any way she can，so I wasn't really shocked about that."

（2）What did Norwood do first when finding Zarria reactionless？
A．To give her first aid.
B．To ask people for help.
C．To call ambulance at once.
D．To send her to hospital immediately.
（3）What can we infer about the ALMA？
A．It normally lasts for one day.
B．It is for medical students only.
C．It focuses on both theory and practice.
D．It trains students to live a healthy lifestyle.
（4）Which of the following can best describe Norwood？
A．Considerate and flexible.
B．Kind and ambitious.

D．Brave and calm.組卷：4引用：1難度：0.4 -
3．Masks that helped save lives during the coronavirus pandemic are proving a deadly threat for wildlife.
Macaques（獼猴）have been spotted chewing the straps off old and tossed-aside masks in the hills outside Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur - a potential choking threat for the diminutive monkeys.And in an incident that captured headlines in Britain，a gull （海鷗） was rescued by the RSPCA in the city of Chelmsford after its legs became tangled （纏繞） in the straps of a disposable （一次性的） mask for up to a week.The animal welfare charity was alerted after the bird was spotted，motionless but still alive，and they took it to a wildlife hospital for treatment before its release.
The biggest impact may be in the water，with green groups alarmed at the flood of used masks，latex（乳膠） gloves and other protective gear finding their way into already polluted seas and rivers.Conservationists in Brazil found one inside the stomach of a penguin after its body washed up on a beach，while a dead pufferfish was discovered caught inside another off the coast of Miami.
French campaigners Operation Mer Propre found a dead crab trapped in a mask in a saltwater lagoon near the Mediterranean in September.
Masks and gloves are "particularly problematic" for sea creatures，says George Leonard，chief scientist from US-based NGO Ocean Conservancy."When those plastics break down in the environment，they form smaller and smaller particles.Those particles then enter the food chain and impact entire ecosystems，" he added.
There has been a shift towards greater use of reusable cloth masks，but many are still choosing the lighter single-use varieties.Campaigners have urged people to throw them away properly and cut the straps to reduce the risk of animals becoming trapped.Oceans Asia has also called on governments to increase fines for littering and encourage the use of washable masks.
（1）What is paragraph 2 mainly about？
A．Serious incidents of wildlife hunting.
B．Scientific research into wildlife living habits.
C．How wildlife is affected by disposable masks.
D．How human beings protect endangered wildlife.
（2）How do masks endanger sea animals？
A．Sea animals may get twisted by masks.
B．Sea animals can't find their way home.
C．Sea animals have difficulties in finding food.
D．Sea animals are forced to leave their habitats.
（3）What is suggested in the last paragraph？
A．Putting bans on single-use masks.
B．Getting rid of used masks properly.
C．Giving mask producers heavy fines.
D．Reducing the risk of washable masks.
（4）Which sections of the newspaper can this passage be found？
A．Business.
B．Education.
C．Lifestyle.
D．Environment.組卷：3引用：1難度：0.5

If you ask me whether you should say yes to walk your neighbor's dog，my answer would be a definite "Yes"，as long you do one thing I didn't do when I helped out with my neighbor's dog.Here's what I meant.You don't need to ask your neighbor lots of questions about that particular dog，but just be patient to ask one very important question.Here is why.
Mrs.Gonzales and her adorable dog Rascal，live at the end of my street.My friend Ollie and I have played with Rascal since he was a puppy，so when Mrs.Gonzales asked if we'd like to take him to the park once in a while，we can't wait to says， "When can we start？" "How about this Saturday at 3：00？" she suggested.
When Saturday rolled around，Ollie and I were there to pick up Rascal at 3：00 on time. "Rascal will be so happy to play in the park with you!" Mrs.Gonzales said. "If I'm still out grocery shopping when you return，just let yourselves in with this spare key.I'll be home a little while later."
"Also，why do you think I named him Rascal？If there's trouble，such as puddles，this guy is guaranteed to find it.And also the commands that you should..." When we realized that Mrs.Gonzales had lots of "alsos"，we interrupted her and ran away in the blink of an eye.
Not long after we arrived at the park，Rascal found a giant puddle and jumped into it and rolled around until every square inch of his furry body was dripping with mud. "Ugh!silly puppy，you're the muddiest dog in the universes!" I said.Ollie said we should take him back home so he can get washed up.
But when we got to Mrs.Gonzales's house，she didn't answer the doorbell. "She must still be out grocery shopping，" I said. "How about we use the garden tube to clean him？" Ollie suggested. "Good idea!" I said，putting Mrs.Gonzales's key into the lock. "I'll go inside and get a towel to dry him off."
Paragraph 1：
But the second I opened the door，Rascal raced inside the house.__________________
Paragraph 2：
Mrs.Gonzales came in with her groceries.___________________組卷：5引用：1難度：0.5
