5．Della Steward got the standard well-wishes on her blog on her 53rd birthday，but she got some unusual messages too.One was about the Smith family who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer.His older brother was in deep sorrow.Could Della help？
That message and the 30 or so others like it were exactly what Della was looking for.To celebrate her 53rd，the long-time social service professional had put out a call on her blog.She wanted to commit 53 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month，and she needed information on people who could use one.When she got the note about the Smith family，she sent a wind chime （風(fēng)鈴） with the message "Listen to the wind and know that I am near" written on jye.ai.It now hangs in the four-year-old's bedroom，where his older brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants.
This is not the first time that Della has decided to give gifts for her birthday.For her 47th，in 2016，she founded Love in Action，an organization committed to doing something good near her home and beyond.Its aim is simple：Do Your Best，Show Your Love!
Over the years，the organization has reached out and touched well over 100 strangers，some found via Della's blog，others with help from her grandkids.The organization also shares inexpensive and creative gift ideas for others to help people in need.
Della pays for everything herself：gift cards，pay-it-forward purchases at drive-throughs，and care packages，as well as the gas it takes to play fairy.Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a serious warning against spending it on anyone else，which she naturally ignores. "I got a couple of gift cards for my birthday this year and was like 'YESSS!" It's Della's party，and she'll give if she wants to.

（2）What can we learn about Della from her gift to the Smith family？

6．C
Plastic-Eating Worms Humans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year．Almost half of that winds up in landfills（垃圾填埋場(chǎng)），and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans．So far there is no effective way to get rid of it，but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms．
Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene，which accounts for 40% of plastics．The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours，and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams，or almost 3% of it．To confirm that the worms' chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown，the researchers made some worms into paste（糊狀物） and applied it to plastic films．14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass--apparently broken down by enzymes（酶）from the worms' stomachs．Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017．
Federica Bertocchini，co-author of the study，says the worms' ability to break down their everyday food-beeswax-also allows them to break down plastic． "Wax is a complex mixture，but the basic bond in polyethylene，the carbon-carbon bond，is there as well， "she explains． "The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond． "
Jennifer DeBruyn，a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee，who was not involved in the study，says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene．But compared with previous studies，she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting．The next step，DeBruyn says，will be to identify the cause of the breakdown．Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes（腸道微生物）？
Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team's findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills．But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process-not simply "millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic．"
（1）What can we learn about the worms in the study？
A．They take plastics as their everyday food．
B．They are newly evolved creatures．
C．They can consume plastics．
D．They wind up in landfills．
（2）According to Jennifer DeBruyn，the next step of the study is to．
A．identify other means of the breakdown
B．find out the source of the enzyme
C．confirm the research findings
D．increase the breakdown speed
（3）It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might．
A．help to raise worms
B．help make plastic bags
C．be used to clean the oceans
D．be produced in factories in future
（4）What is the main purpose of the passage？
A．To explain a study method on worms．
B．To introduce the diet of a special worm．
C．To present a way to break down plastics．
D．To propose new means to keep eco-balance．組卷：429引用：5難度：0.1 -
7．For Western designers，China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.
"It's no secret that China has always been a source of inspiration for designers，" says Amanda Hill，chief creative officer at A+E Networks，a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion（時(shí)尚） shows.
Earlier this year，the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China‐inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese work of art，with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics（美學(xué)） on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries.The exhibition had record attendance，showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.
"China is impossible to overlook，" says Hill."Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world，which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion—they are central to its movement." Of course，not only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. "Vera Wang，Alexander Wang，Jason Wu are taking on Galliano，Albaz，Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales，" adds Hill.
For Hill，it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. "The most famous designers are Chinese，so are the models，and so are the consumers，" she says. "China is no longer just another market；in many senses it has become the market.If you talk about fashion today，you are talking about China—its influences，its direction，its breathtaking clothes，and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways."
（1）What does Hill say about Chinese women？
A．They are setting the fashion.
B．They start many fashion campaigns
C．They admire super models.
D．They do business all over the world.
（2）What do the underlined words "taking on "in paragraph 4 mean？
A．learning from
B．looking down on
C．working with
D．competing against
（3）What can be a suitable title for the text？
A．Young Models Selling Dreams to the World
B．A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York
C．Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics
D．Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends組卷：0引用：2難度：0.3

8．How to Do Man-on-the-Street Interviews The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot．（1）
But with these tips，your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy．
When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story，think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it．For example，if your topic is about environmental problems in America，you might ask，"Why do you think environmental protection is important in America？"（2）
Hit the streets with confidence．（3）Say，"Excuse me，I work for XYZ News，and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic．" This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you．
Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera．Don't get discouraged．
（4）Each interview that you get on the street shouldn't be longer than ten minutes．As soon as you get the answer you need，move on to the next person．Make sure that as you go from interview to interview，you are getting a variety of answers．If everyone is giving you the same answer，you won't be able to use it．A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten．（5）
If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air，don't leave work without them．
A．Limit your time．
B．As you approach people，be polite．
C．If you don't own a camera，you can buy one．
D．For new reporters，this can seem like a challenging task．
E．To get good and useful results，ask them the same question．
F．That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need．
G．With a question like this，you will get more than a "Yes" or "No" reply．組卷：4引用：4難度：0.5

26．One fall，my wife Elli and I had a single goal：to photograph polar bears.We were staying at a research camp outside "the polar bear capital of the world" - the town of Churchill in Manitoba，Canada.
Taking pictures of polar bears is amazing but also dangerous.Polar bears - like all wild animals - should be photographed from a safe distance.When I'm face to face with a polar bear，I like it to be through a camera with a telephoto lens.But sometimes，that is easier said than done.This was one of those times.
As Elli and I cooked dinner，a young male polar bear who was playing in a nearby lake sniffed，and smelled our garlic bread.
The hungry bear followed his nose to our camp，which was surrounded by a high wire fence.He pulled and bit the wire.He stood on his back legs and pushed at the wooden fence posts.
Terrified，Elli and I tried all the bear defense actions we knew.We yelled at the bear，hit pots hard，and fired blank shotgun shells into the air.Sometimes loud noises like these will scare bears off.Not this polar bear though - he just kept trying to tear down the fence with his massive paws （爪子）.
I radioed the camp manager for jye.ailp.He told me a helicopter was on its way，but it would be 30 minutes before it arrived.Making the best of this close encounter （相遇），I took some pictures of the bear.
Elli and I feared the fence wouldn't last through 30 more minutes of the bear's punishment.The camp manager suggested I use pepper spray.The spray burns the bears' eyes，but doesn't hurt them.So I approached our uninvited guest slowly and，through the fence，sprayed him in the face.With an angry roar（吼叫），the bear ran to the lake to wash his eyes.
Para 1：
A few minutes later，the bear headed back to our camp.----------
Para 2：
At that very moment，the helicopter arrived.---------------組卷：8引用：3難度：0.4
