Love pushes us to overcome various struggles in life! The reason why Keith Limbert learned to drive at his old age was a touching love story, as he was forced to face the lessons for driving a car for his wife. 79-year-old Keith from West Yorkshire put all his efforts into passing the driving test, so that he could take his wife for treatments every day.
Even though he had attempted (尝试) driving when he was 25, he couldn’t get through the first two tests. Since then, his loving wife Anne had always driven him around. However, when 58-year-old Anne’s health took a turn for the worse, he had to go back to the driving school again.
After Anne had a stroke (中风) in 2015, leaving her in a wheelchair, the couple had to rely on others for their travels. Annoyed with many difficulties, Keith realized that it was time for him to take up learning to drive again. Eventually, it became a necessity when Anne was diagnosed (诊断) with breast cancer in late 2016.
Unfortunately, his wife’s condition required regular trips to and from hospital and he was Anne’s full-time caregiver. He loved his wife so much that he did his best to pass his driving test on the third attempt. This time, his hard work paid off. Keith passed his driving test at the age of 79, so he could take his poor wife to hospital by himself.
Now this loving couple is leading a comfortable life and on most days, he takes himself to the gym and takes his wife for a coffee.
“I don’t feel like I am 79 at all,” Keith is happy to keep his youthful spirit with a pleasant smile on his face.
4. Why did Keith try his best to get his driving’s license
A. He didn’t want to waste money. B. He could travel to work conveniently.
C. He was persuaded by his family to do so. D. He wanted to drive his wife for her treatments.
5. What made Keith’s wife sit in a wheelchair
A. That she fell from a high place and injured her legs.
B. That she couldn’t move around due to her breast cancer.
C. That a blood tube in her brain burst or became blocked.
D. That she had a serious traffic accident and became disabled.
6. How can we best describe Keith according to the text
A. Optimistic and considerate. B. Hardworking and generous.
C. Shy and cautious. D. Stubborn and bad-tempered.
7. What can be the subject of the text
A. Old man realizes his dream of owning a car. B. Old man learns to drive for his beloved one.
C. Self-help is better than help from others. D. Never too old to learn to drive.

Researchers have found a chemical from a kind of worm (蠕虫) can break down one of the most common forms of plastic. The finding could open up new ways to deal with pollution.
There have been several studies showing that microorganisms can release enzymes (酶) that cause the plastics to start to break down, but that process may take a long time. The recently-discovered enzymes were found in the saliva (唾液) of the waxworm. They appear to act in only a few hours.
Federica Bertocchini is one of the researchers, who is also a beekeeper and always stores honeycombs, which are built by bees to store honey. One year Bertocchini found her honeycombs full of waxworms. She cleaned the honeycombs and put the worms in a plastic bag. When she returned later, she found that the bag was full of holes. She wondered if the worms were eating the plastic, or if there was a chemical reaction that caused the holes. “We checked and found that the plastics had been broken down,” she said.
In her latest research, Bertocchini and her co-workers found two enzymes in the worm’s saliva. The enzymes appeared to break down plastics in only a few hours.
Bertocchini’s team is still trying to understand how the worms break down the plastics. They know much more research is needed before the findings can be used to process plastic waste. However, Bertocchini said the enzymes could be put into a water mixture and then put “over piles of collected plastics” in a waste center. She said that, in the future, the enzymes could be used in homes, where families could deal with their own plastic waste.
8. What can we learn about the microorganisms in para. 2
A. They are fond of eating small pieces of plastics.
B. They are widely used to deal with plastic pollution.
C. It takes long for their enzymes to break down plastics.
D. They can easily produce a large amount of useful saliva in a short time.
9. How did Bertocchini make the discovery
A. By accident. B. By keeping waxworms.
C. By doing experiments. D. By studying bees.
10. Why were there many holes in Bertocchini’s bag
A. The bees flew to and bit it. B. There was a chemical reaction.
C. There were some sharp things in it. D. The worms chewed and swallowed the plastic.
11. What does the author think about the new method of breaking down plastics
A. It’s a theoretical possibility, but it won’t happen. B. It may replace the usual ways soon.
C. It is getting increasingly popular. D. There is still a long way to go.
D
People of San Francisco and visitors now have a place to learn and study the largely forgotten history of Chinese workers who helped build the US’ first transcontinental (横贯大陆的) railroad.
The Chinese Railroad Workers History Center, near the southern entrance of San Francisco’s Chinatown, is expected to serve as a “gathering place” for people to learn about Chinese Americans’ heritage (遗产) in the US, according to the founder, Florence Fang, a Chinese community leader in the Bay Area. “The center’s purpose is to remember the Chinese railroad workers’ contribution to this country. The goal is to give voice to the voiceless, and the spirit is to remember the past and inspire the future,” said Fang.
The building of the Transcontinental Railroad originally known as the Pacific Railroad, was completed on May 10, 1869．It was considered one of the most remarkable engineering achievements of the 19th century. The railroad greatly changed the nation as it not only expanded the American economy but also increased national confidence.
The Chinese workers made up more than 80 percent of the railroad workforce. “What is important to remember is the sweat and the tears and sometimes the lives of the Chinese workers who built the most treacherous, difficult part of the Transcontinental Railroad,” said California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis, “Now it will go down in history along with so many other unbelievably important contributions of Chinese Americans.”
Kounalaki s and other elected officials in the state and the city joined community leaders on Wednesday at the center to commemorate the 154th anniversary of the completion of the railroad and pay tribute (致敬) to the Chinese workers.
“This center joins several other institutions in San Francisco, like the Chinese Historical Society and the Chinese Culture Center, to attract visitors and to teach Chinese American history and culture,” said Peskin, president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.
“It comes at a critical time for us. It comes as Chinatown and the home of San Francisco have experienced three very difficult years, Chinatown in particular, not only with the economic harm, but with the rise of Asian hate,” he said. “The center will help teach future generations and make San Francisco proud,” said Peskin. “It will help promote the economy of Chinatown.”
12. What is the main idea of the second paragraph
A. The inspiration of designing the center. B. The intention of opening the center.
C. The process of building the center. D. The cost of building the center.
13. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “treacherous” in paragraph 4
A. Unimportant. B. Interesting. C. Expensive. D. Dangerous.
14. Why does the center come at a critical time, based on Peskin’s words
A. There is an increasing feeling of dislike for Asians.
B. The economy of Chinatown is developing at a faster speed.
C. Other institutions such as Chinese history and literature are being damaged.
D. Americans in San Francisco begin to appreciate the Chinese workers’ contributions.
15. What is a suitable title for the news report
A. A railroad transforms American history into what it is today
B. Chinese workers help build US’ first transcontinental railroad
C. San Francisco has a new center to remember Chinese railroad workers
D. People commemorate 154th anniversary of US’ first transcontinental railroad

Love pushes us to overcome various struggles in life! The reason why Keith Limbert learned to drive at his old age was a touching love story, as he was forced to face the lessons for driving a car for his wife. 79-year-old Keith from West Yorkshire put all his efforts into passing the driving test, so that he could take his wife for treatments every day.
Even though he had attempted (尝试) driving when he was 25, he couldn’t get through the first two tests. Since then, his loving wife Anne had always driven him around. However, when 58-year-old Anne’s health took a turn for the worse, he had to go back to the driving school again.
After Anne had a stroke (中风) in 2015, leaving her in a wheelchair, the couple had to rely on others for their travels. Annoyed with many difficulties, Keith realized that it was time for him to take up learning to drive again. Eventually, it became a necessity when Anne was diagnosed (诊断) with breast cancer in late 2016.
Unfortunately, his wife’s condition required regular trips to and from hospital and he was Anne’s full-time caregiver. He loved his wife so much that he did his best to pass his driving test on the third attempt. This time, his hard work paid off. Keith passed his driving test at the age of 79, so he could take his poor wife to hospital by himself.
Now this loving couple is leading a comfortable life and on most days, he takes himself to the gym and takes his wife for a coffee.
“I don’t feel like I am 79 at all,” Keith is happy to keep his youthful spirit with a pleasant smile on his face.

Researchers have found a chemical from a kind of worm (蠕虫) can break down one of the most common forms of plastic. The finding could open up new ways to deal with pollution.
There have been several studies showing that microorganisms can release enzymes (酶) that cause the plastics to start to break down but that process may take a long time. The recently-discovered enzymes were found in the saliva (唾液) of the waxworm. They appear to act in only a few hours.
Federica Bertocchini is one of the researchers, who is also a beekeeper and always stores honeycombs, which are built by bees to store honey. One year Bertocchini found her honeycombs full of waxworms. She cleaned the honeycombs and put the worms in a plastic bag. When she returned later, she found that the bag was full of holes. She wondered if the worms were eating the plastic, or if there was a chemical reaction that caused the holes. “We checked and found that the plastics had been broken down,” she said.
In her latest research, Bertocchini and her co-workers found two enzymes in the worm’s saliva. The enzymes appeared to break down plastics in only a few hours.
Bertocchini’s team is still trying to understand how the worms break down the plastics. They know much more research is needed before the findings can be used to process plastic waste. However, Bertocchini said the enzymes could be put into a water mixture and then put “over piles of collected plastics” in a waste center. She said that, in the future, the enzymes could be used in homes, where families could deal with their own plastic waste.
8. What can we learn about the microorganisms in para. 2
A. They are fond of eating small pieces of plastics.
B. They are widely used to deal with plastic pollution.
C. It takes long for their enzymes to break down plastics.
D. They can easily produce a large amount of useful saliva in a short time.
9. How did Bertocchini make the discovery
A. By accident. B. By keeping waxworms.
C. By doing experiments. D. By studying bees.
10. Why were there many holes in Bertocchini’s bag
A. The bees flew to and bit it. B. There was a chemical reaction.
C. There were some sharp things in it. D. The worms chewed and swallowed the plastic.
11. What does the author think about the new method of breaking down plastics
A. It’s a theoretical possibility, but it won’t happen. B. It may replace the usual ways soon.
C. It is getting increasingly popular. D. There is still a long way to go.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究人员发现，一种蠕虫的化学物质可以分解最常见的塑料形式之一。这一发现可能为处理污染开辟新的途径。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“There have been several studies showing that microorganisms can release enzymes (酶) that cause the plastics to start to break down, but that process may take a long time.(有几项研究表明，微生物可以释放酶，导致塑料开始分解，但这一过程可能需要很长时间。)”可知，蠕虫分泌的酶分解塑料需要很长时间，故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“She cleaned the honeycombs and put the worms in a plastic bag. When she returned later, she found that the bag was full of holes. She wondered if the worms were eating the plastic, or if there was a chemical reaction that caused the holes.(她清理了蜂窝，把虫子放在一个塑料袋里。当她稍后回来时，她发现袋子上满是洞。她想知道这些虫子是在吃塑料，还是有化学反应导致了这些洞。)”可推理出Bertocchini是不经意间做出的发现，故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“We checked and found that the plastics had been broken down(我们检查了一下，发现塑料已经坏了)”以及第四段“In her latest research, Bertocchini and her co-workers found two enzymes in the worm’s saliva. The enzymes appeared to break down plastics in only a few hours(在她的最新研究中，Bertocchini和她的同事在蠕虫的唾液中发现了两种酶。这些酶似乎只需几个小时就能分解塑料)”可推理出Bertocchini的塑料袋上有洞，是因为发生了化学反应，故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Bertocchini’s team is still trying to understand how the worms break down the plastics. They know much more research is needed before the findings can be used to process plastic waste.( Bertocchini的团队仍在努力了解蠕虫是如何分解塑料的。他们知道，在将这些发现用于处理塑料垃圾之前，还需要更多的研究。)”可知，团队仍在努力了解蠕虫是如何分解塑料的，本发现仍需更多的研究，可推理出作者认为这项研究还有很长的路要走，故选D项。

People of San Francisco and visitors now have a place to learn and study the largely forgotten history of Chinese workers who helped build the US’ first transcontinental (横贯大陆的) railroad.
The Chinese Railroad Workers History Center, near the southern entrance of San Francisco’s Chinatown, is expected to serve as a “gathering place” for people to learn about Chinese Americans’ heritage (遗产) in the US, according to the founder, Florence Fang, a Chinese community leader in the Bay Area. “The center’s purpose is to remember the Chinese railroad workers’ contribution to this country. The goal is to give voice to the voiceless, and the spirit is to remember the past and inspire the future,” said Fang.
The building of the Transcontinental Railroad, originally known as the Pacific Railroad, was completed on May 10, 1869．It was considered one of the most remarkable engineering achievements of the 19th century. The railroad greatly changed the nation as it not only expanded the American economy but also increased national confidence.
The Chinese workers made up more than 80 percent of the railroad workforce. “What is important to remember is the sweat and the tears and sometimes the lives of the Chinese workers who built the most treacherous, difficult part of the Transcontinental Railroad,” said California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis, “Now it will go down in history along with so many other unbelievably important contributions of Chinese Americans.”
Kounalaki s and other elected officials in the state and the city joined community leaders on Wednesday at the center to commemorate the 154th anniversary of the completion of the railroad and pay tribute (致敬) to the Chinese workers.
“This center joins several other institutions in San Francisco, like the Chinese Historical Society and the Chinese Culture Center, to attract visitors and to teach Chinese American history and culture,” said Peskin, president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.
“It comes at a critical time for us. It comes as Chinatown and the home of San Francisco have experienced three very difficult years, Chinatown in particular, not only with the economic harm, but with the rise of Asian hate,” he said. “The center will help teach future generations and make San Francisco proud,” said Peskin. “It will help promote the economy of Chinatown.”
12. What is the main idea of the second paragraph
A. The inspiration of designing the center. B. The intention of opening the center.
C. The process of building the center. D. The cost of building the center.
13. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “treacherous” in paragraph 4
A. Unimportant. B. Interesting. C. Expensive. D. Dangerous.
14. Why does the center come at a critical time, based on Peskin’s words
A. There is an increasing feeling of dislike for Asians.
B. The economy of Chinatown is developing at a faster speed.
C. Other institutions such as Chinese history and literature are being damaged.
D. Americans in San Francisco begin to appreciate the Chinese workers’ contributions.
15. What is a suitable title for the news report
A. A railroad transforms American history into what it is today
B. Chinese workers help build US’ first transcontinental railroad
C. San Francisco has a new center to remember Chinese railroad workers
D. People commemorate 154th anniversary of US’ first transcontinental railroad
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了旧金山开设了一个中心，以纪念和表彰中国劳工对美国横贯大陆铁路建设所做出的巨大贡献。此中心将成为一个“聚集地”，供人们了解中美华裔遗产的重要场所，并将通过纪念过去来激励未来。文章还提到，随着亚洲仇恨情绪的上升，开设此中心正值时势所需，有助于保护和传承中美华裔的历史文化遗产，促进唐人街和旧金山的经济发展。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“ “The center’s purpose is to remember the Chinese railroad workers’ contribution to this country. The goal is to give voice to the voiceless, and the spirit is to remember the past and inspire the future,” said Fang. ( “该中心的目的是纪念中国铁路工人对这个国家的贡献。我们的目标是让没有发言权的人发出自己的声音，我们的精神是铭记过去，激励未来。”)”可知，本段主要介绍的是开设中国铁路工人历史中心的目的即纪念中国铁路工人对这个国家的贡献。故选B。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“What is important to remember is the sweat and the tears and sometimes the lives of the Chinese workers (重要的是要记住中国工人的汗水和眼泪，有时还有他们的生命)”以及划线词后的内容“the most difficult part of the Transcontinental Railroad (这是横贯大陆铁路最困难的部分)”可知，划线词与difficult构成并列，并且建设铁路时中国工人付出了汗水和泪水甚至还有生命。由此推断划线词与D选项“Dangerous(危险的)”为同义词。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““It comes at a critical time for us. It comes as Chinatown and the home of San Francisco have experienced three very difficult years, Chinatown in particular, not only with the economic harm, but with the rise of Asian hate,” he said. (“这对我们来说是一个关键时刻。这发生在唐人街和旧金山的故乡经历了非常困难的三年，尤其是唐人街，不仅经济受到损害，而且对亚洲人的仇恨也在上升。”)”可知，根据Peskin的话可以推断，由于对亚洲人的厌恶情绪越来越强烈，所以开设中国铁路工人历史中心是一个关键时刻。选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“The Chinese Railroad Workers History Center, near the southern entrance of San Francisco’s Chinatown, is expected to serve as a “gathering place” for people to learn about Chinese Americans’ heritage (遗产) in the US, according to the founder, Florence Fang, a Chinese community leader in the Bay Area. (中国铁路工人历史中心位于旧金山唐人街南口附近，据其创始人、旧金山湾区华人社区领袖佛罗伦斯·方(Florence Fang)介绍，该中心有望成为人们了解美国华裔传统的“聚集地”。)”以及通读全文可知，文章介绍了旧金山开设了一个中心，以纪念和表彰中国劳工对美国横贯大陆铁路建设所做出的巨大贡献。此中心将成为一个“聚集地”，供人们了解中美华裔遗产的重要场所，并将通过纪念过去来激励未来。C选项“San Francisco has a new center to remember Chinese railroad workers (旧金山有一个新的纪念中国铁路工人的中心)”概括文章标题。故选C。
