Somebody gave me an award! In my entire life, I have only ever received one award: in

2000, I was named Most Helpful by my university drama society.

This time, however, I won an actual award! Admittedly, there was no big awards

ceremony. just an email and a social media post. But, nevertheless, it’s given me a glow of

pride. Somebody acknowledged my achievements!

The problem is that society seems to favor youth. There are a million ‘30 under 30’ lists

which I was never on, and yet it was only last year that the magazine Forbes launched its ‘50

over 50’ list. But while I don’t want to take those awards away from the kids, 1 know if

someone had declared me an ‘up-and-coming’ anything at 30, I’d have been as terrified as I

was delighted; so much to live up to. Now, however, I am grabbing that award and shouting:

“At last, the recognition I deserve!”, because I know how much work I’ve put in, and I’m not

about to let anyone lessen that.

If I was to list the advantages of getting older, then the ability to recognize my

accomplishments and to be proud of them would be at the very top. Heard too many times,

it’s boring to say that we women put ourselves down, but too often we push away praise,

rather than taking it up like the cat who got the cream. For most of us, praise is not a daily gift.

So, when it comes, we need to allow ourselves to receive it. And if no one else is giving it to

us, we need to give it to ourselves.

It works the other way, too. My new favourite hobby is writing emails to the head offices

of restaurants and shops, to tell them how lovely their staff are. It makes me feel good, and I

hope it does them, too.

A friend once told me about a self-development course she’d been on where participants

had to shout ‘I apprise of my decision!’, and then high-five themselves. I put this ritual into

my daily life. Now, I am done. And, then, I’m writing myself an email of praise. Because, like

that award, I deserve it.

A．Society presents unfairness to youth.

B．Her years-long effort pays off eventually.

C．She is confident enough to be superior to kids.

D．She is too scared to live up to others’ expectations.

6．What does the underlined “ritual” in paragraph 6 probably mean?

A．Practice.

B．Course.

C．Hobby.

D．Need.

Your morning coffee could be used to make a pair of sneakers, a Finnish startup says.

Rens can make new shoes from old coffee, cutting back on waste in terms of space in

landfills and methane (甲烷) emissions.

5, 000 supporters promised to invest over $500, 000 to see the sneakers come to life. Up

to 21 cups of coffee and 6 recycled plastic bottles are used in each pair of shoes. The sneakers

come in 9 different colors and are waterproof and super comfortable. In addition, the sneakers

can absorb a peculiar smell, and they are designed to be taken off and put on easily.

Jesse Tran, the co-founder of Rens, wanted to do something to help reduce people’s carbon “footprint”, while offering a pair of everyday shoes that is functional and

fashion-forward. “With the improvement of environmental awareness, the knowledge of the

circular economy is also increasing. Shoes made from recycled coffee pieces may seem novel

to some people, but we wholeheartedly believe that this is just the beginning of a revolution

in the clothing technology and manufacturing industry,” said Tran.

So far, 250, 000 water bottles and 750, 000 cups of coffee have been turned into these

试卷第4页，共11页

shoes. The small coffee solid pieces are combined in a low-heat environment with recycled

plastic to create a coffee yarn in the upper section of the shoes, while recycled plastic is made

into the other parts, and the tree sap (液) that biodegrades (降解) creates the outer sole (鞋底).

While the price is as high as $119 on Amazon, they offer free delivery everywhere, a

l-year guarantee on the waterproofing technology, and a 30-day money-back guarantee as

well.

8．What is the advantage of the sneakers made from coffee?

A．Easy to wash.

B．Able to afford.

C．Comfortable to wear.

D．Hard to damage.

9．What can we infer according to Jesse Tran?

A．Action must be taken for environmental protection.

B．Manufacturing industries are promising in recycling.

C．Shoes made from recycled coffee is out of date.

D．The circular economy is unfamiliar lo the public.

10．What can be made into the outer sole of the sneaker?

A．The small coffee pieces.

B．The combined coffee yarn.

C．The recycled water bottles.

D．The biodegraded tree sap.

11．What is the suitable title of the passage?

A．Shoes Made in a Green Way

B．Coffee Recycled in a Creative Way

C．The Revolution of Manufacturing Industry

D．The Improvement of Environmental Awareness

A small device no bigger than a toaster has generated oxygen on the surface of Mars,

bringing the chances of surviving on the red planet a step closer.

Research published in the journal Science Advances reported that The Mars Oxygen

In-Situ Resource Utilisation Experiment, better known as Moxie, produced breathable oxygen

试卷第5页，共11页

in seven hour- long tests conducted in various weather and atmospheric conditions since

landing last year.

During each test, the device produced six grams of oxygen, about the same as a small

tree and enough to sustain an astronaut for 15 minutes. “This is the first demonstration of

actually using resources on the surface of another planet’s body and transforming them

chemically into something that would be useful for a human mission,” Jeffrey Hoffman, a

retired astronaut, said.

Hoffman, 77, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) aeronautics

department, said the results were “historic”. NASA and the MIT team are planning to build a

bigger version of Moxie. They hope advanced models will produce enough oxygen to support

a crewed mission to Mars and generate the gas needed to send a rocket back to Earth.

“To support a human mission to Mars we have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth.”

Hoffman said. The thin atmosphere on Mars is 96 per cent carbon dioxide and much more

variable than on Earth. “The density of the air can vary by a factor of two through the year,

and the temperature can vary by 100 degrees,” Hoffman said. “One objective is to show we

can run Moxie in all seasons.”

The device uses pumps that suck in carbon dioxide. The gas is healed to 800℃ and

compressed to separate the carbon and oxygen. Carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) is emitted as

waste while the pure oxygen is left behind.

Scaling up (按比例放大) the device to support a human mission to Mars presents

challenges.

NASA and MIT say Moxie would need to run continuously for 400 days, a leap from the

one-hour tests. The machine would require insulation, a special material, to control its

internal temperature.

Moxie has proved durable (持久的) in the extreme conditions on Mars, however, and the

team plans to assess the machine’s limits in the coming months.

12．Which word best describes Hoffman’s attitude to Moxie?

A．Skeptical.

B．Tolerant.

C．Positive.

D．Critical.

13．What is the last step of Moxie’s working?

试卷第6页，共11页

A．To take in carbon dioxide.

B．To separate the carbon and oxygen.

C．To press the carbon dioxide together.

D．To heat the carbon dioxide to 800℃.

14．Why are NASA and the MIT planning to scale up Moxie?

A．To bring stuff to Mars.

B．To send rockets to Mars.

C．To control its internal temperature.

D．To support a human mission to Mars.

15．What is the passage mainly about?

A．Oxygen production on Mars makes it possible to survive there.

B．Moxie produced enough oxygen to support a human mission.

C．A toaster on the Mars produced breathable oxygen in the tests.

D．The team plans to assess Moxie’s limits in the coming months.

Recently our class have had a debate. Its topic focuses on if it is necessary to use high

technology to beautify the Palace Museum. As for this, different students hold different

opinion.

Some are in favor of the creative idea because of the use of high technology can add

beauty to the Palace Museum, thus make it more attractive to visitors. Therefore, those who

are against the idea thinks that this technology will destroy the original appearance of the

Palace Museum. More important, it is extremely essential to respect the history and tradition.

From me point of view, other measures can be taken attract more visitors. And it’s our

duty to provide the complete and genuine ancient palace for the world.
