21、_.Aschool studentsBschool teachersCyounger parentsDolder parentsOne wet, rainy April afternoon Miss O Shay, the principal, sent for Nancy Lee to stop by her office as school closed. Pupils without umbrellas or raincoats crowded in doorways hoping to make it home between showers. Outside the skies we
22、re grey. Nancy Lees thoughts were suddenly grey, too.She did not think she had done anything wrong, yet that tight (紧的) little knot came in her throat just the same as she came near Miss OShays door. Perhaps she had banged her locker too often and too hard. Perhaps the note in French she had written
23、 to Sallie halfway across the study hall just for fun had never got to Sallie but into Miss OShays hands instead.She knocked on Miss OShays door. That familiarly solid and competent voice said, “Come in.”Miss OShay had a way of making you feel welcome, even if you came to be punished.“Sit down, Nanc
24、y Lee Johnson,” said Miss OShay. “I have something to tell you.” Nancy Lee sat down.“But I must ask you to promise not to tell anyone yet.”“I wont, Miss OShay,” Nancy Lee said, wondering what on earth the principal had to say to her.“You are about to graduate,” Miss OShay said. “And we shall miss yo
25、u. You have been an excellent student, Nancy, and you will not be without honors (荣誉) on the senior list, as I am sure you know. ” At that point there was a light knock on the door. Miss OShay called out, “Come in,” and Miss Dietrich entered. “May I be part of this, too?” she asked, tall and smiling
26、. “Of course,” Miss OShay said. “I was just telling Nancy Lee what we thought of her. But I hadnt got around to giving her the news. Perhaps, Miss Dietrich, youd like to tell her yourself.”Miss Dietrich was always direct. “Nancy Lee,” she said, “your picture has won the Artist Club scholarship.”The
27、brown girls eyes widened, her heart jumped, then her throat tightened again. She tried to smile, but instead tears came to her eyes. “Dear Nancy Lee,” Miss OShay said, “we are so happy for you.” The elderly white woman took her hand and shook it warmly while Miss Dietrich smiled with pride.Nancy Lee

30、o hide feelings at home.33Which is the best title for this story?AA New Star.BThe Girl.CA Young Artist.DThe News.Many of us stayed at home in January because of COVID-19, but a special mom and her two babies took a trip. They were driven a few miles from a breeding center in northeastern Argentina t
31、o a 1.7 million-acre nature reserve called Gran Ibera Park. There the three jaguars were released into the wild. Their release was the first reintroduction of jaguars in that part of Argentina since the species (物种) almost died out there 70 years ago. Scientists hope they can turn things around for
32、this important apex predator, meaning one that is on top of the food chain (链). Only 200 to 300 jaguars remain in the country.“That is the highest level of protection that can be given in Argentina,” says Sebastian Di Martino. Hes the conservation director for Rewilding Argentina, which is one of th
33、e organizations helping to restore jaguar populations.The jaguars journey started in 2018 when the park was built in the Ibera Wetlands. Several thousand jaguars once lived there, along with other important species. But the jaguars fur was valuable, so people hunted them. Then farmers cleared the la
34、nd they lived on. With the jaguars gone, the ecosystem was out of balance.“In the absence of this species, ecosystems stop working well and may even collapse,” Di Martino says. “The main prey (猎物) of the jaguar is the capybara and the caiman. They are very abundant because of the absence of the jagu
35、ar, which causes imbalances in the ecosystem.”The park was the first step to give jaguars a place to live. Then they needed to breed. A female named Mariua mated with a male jaguar from Brazil. Mariua then gave birth to the two baby jaguars.It sounds simple, but the reality is more complicated. Di M
36、artino said that jaguars born at breeding centers have to learn how to hunt and must not become used to humans. Otherwise, they will not have success in the wild.The people who work at the breeding center stay out of sight. They use video cameras to watch the jaguars from several miles away. “We pro
37、vide live prey for them, without them realizing it comes from people,” Di Martino said.Mariua wears a radio collar so researchers can track her and her babies, Karai and Pord. “So far, so good. Shes been hunting capybaras and wild pigs and is raising her babies very well,” Di Martino says.34What can
38、 we learn about the jaguar?AIt is found only in Argentina.BIt is taught to hunt by humans.CIt is not hunted by any other animal.DIt is not considered as a rare species.35Which of the following words can best describe Di Martinos job?AExciting.BMeaningful.CSurprising.DSuccessful.36What does the under

If youre like a lot of people, you probably just throw them away.In some areas, its difficult to find pe
44、ople who can make repairs, and fixing things can be quite expensive. Also, some small objects are so inexpensive that its often easier to just buy a new one.In 2009, Martine Postma from the Netherlands decided there must be a better way. Her solution was Repair Cafes: places where people can take br
45、oken items. There they will find tools, resources and volunteer experts who are ready to help with repairs.Postmas first Repair Cafe opened on Oct. 18, 2009, in Amsterdam, and was a huge success. News of the cafe spread, and people began asking how they could start their own. In 2011, Postma set up
46、the Repair Cafe Foundation. This nonprofit organization provides guidance to those hoping to begin their own neighbourhood repair group.Today, there are about 2,000 Repair Cafes around the world with meetings usually taking place once a month. Around 25 objects are repaired during each meeting. Everything is free, but donations are greatly welcome.The cafes not only provide help with repairs, the
