11．Todd Bol，a retired businessman，could never have expected that a wooden container he built in his front yard one day would have the global impact it does today.
Bol built a dollhouse-size structure that looked like a schoolhouse on a post and he put it in his yard as a free community library to remember his mother，who was a book lover and school teacher.Bol's prototype gave birth to Little Free Library （LFL），a nonprofit organization that seeks to place small，accessible book exchange boxes in neighborhoods around the world.The concept is simple：Neighbors are invited to share a book，leave a book，or both.Today，there are over 50，000 of these libraries registered in 70 countries.
Almost everyone can register with LFL and start a library as long as the person keeps it in good shape and makes sure that book materials are appropriate for his/her neighborhood.Library owners can create their own library boxes；therefore，the libraries are usually unique in appearance，and there seems to be no limit to the varieties.One library in California was built out of a used wine container；another in Texas had tiny stairs and bright colored walls.Once registered，libraries are assigned a number at LFL's website.The LFL Index lists the locations of all libraries with GPS coordinates （坐標） and other information.Owners receive a sign saying "Little Free Library".
People say they have been attracted to pick up a book when walking by a Little Free Library，out of curiosity and because it's convenient.Some sidewalk librarians say they have met more neighbors since they have a little library in their front yard.Bol is also most proud of the way Little Free Library is bringing communities together. "It's started a neighborhood exchange.It gets people talking and more comfortable with their neighbors，" he says. "This leads to them helping each other."
（1）What does the underlined word "prototype" in Paragraph 2 refer to？
A．A community center.
B．A dollhouse on a post.
C．A nonprofit organization.
D．A book exchange box.
（2）What can we learn about the operation of Little Free Library？
A．There is no limit to the selection of books.
B．The library needs to hire many professional librarians.
C．The library can come in any shape and color.
D．The owner must first be assigned a number from the LFL website.
（3）What positive influence has Little Free Library brought？
A．It helps improve GPS functions.
B．It helps restore human connections.
C．It makes reading accessible to the poor.
D．It connects libraries around the world.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.4 -
12．A new review based on a research shows that severe stress affects the way the brain considers the advantages and disadvantages，causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative consequences of a decision.The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways.
"Stress affects how people learn." says Professor Mara Mather， "People learn better about positive than negative outcomes under stress." For example，two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images with either rewards or punishments.In one experiment，some of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience；in the other，some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water.In both cases，the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who hadn't gone through the stress.
This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress — at those moments，only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind.But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect.Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better，but negative consequences are also less easily recalled.
The research has also found that stress appears to affect decision-making differently in men and women.While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress，their responses to risk turn out to be different.
Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way.In stressful situations in which risk-taking can pay off big，men may tend to do better；when caution weighs more，however，women will win.
This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become bolder than men：they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.
（1）We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to.
A．recall consequences more effortlessly
B．keep rewards better in their memory
C．make risky decisions more frequently
D．learn a subject more effectively
（2）According to the research，stress affects people most probably in their.
A．tolerance of punishments
B．ways of making choices
C．preference for pleasure
D．responses to suggestions
（3）The research has proved that in a stressful situation，.
A．women find it easier to fall into certain habits
B．men have a greater tendency to slow down
C．men are more likely to take risks
D．women focus more on outcomes組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5 -
13．Face masks and protective suits can save lives.But what happens after people finish using them？Binish Desai，the founder of Eco — Electric Technologies from Western India，saw the impact brought by the rising use and demand for single-use masks and kits due to the pandemic，so he created Brick 2.0 to prevent tons of single-use Personal Protective Equipment （PPE） from being wasted and ending up in landfills or water streams.
Although PPE is essential for medical use，it is extremely necessary to assess new alternatives and to raise awareness regarding its proper use and disposal.A study published by the American Chemical Society suggests that 129 billion face masks are used monthly during the pandemic，which causes great environmental pollution.In India alone，over 18，000 tons of COVID-related biomedical waste was generated in just four months between June and September.The waste would take hundreds of years to break down，according to the magazine Waste Advantage.
Brick 2.0 is a new version of the brick made from industrial waste，now also including used face masks and protective suits.The process starts with the collection of PPE waste through garbage cans placed in small shops and apartment buildings，with easy access for people to throw away their used items.Once in the factory，the collections are kept for 72 hours for safety reasons.Then they are cleaned and torn into pieces before being mixed with other waste.Finally，the material is shaped，and once dry，each brick is ready to use.It is three times stronger than conventional bricks at twice the size and half the price.
In a complex circumstance like the one we are living in these days，this solution is not only relatively easy to operate，but also very achievable in the short term，which can really help overcome today's global environmental challenges.
（1）Why did Desai create Brick 2.0？
A．To protect water resource.
B．To reduce production cost.
C．To recycle the PPE waste.
D．To prevent serious disease.
（2）What do the figures in Paragraph 2 indicate？
A．The environment is facing severe challenges.
B．The study lacks sufficient evidence.
C．The pandemic is difficult to control.
D．The demand for face masks is in decline.
（3）What is mainly discussed about Brick 2.0 in Paragraph 3？
A．Its function.
B．Its advantage.
C．Its main characteristic.
D．Its production process.
（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？
A．Transform waste into treasure.
B．Defend your life with face masks.
C．Innovation never ends.
D．Environmental issues count.組卷：1引用：2難度：0.5

14．In recent years，more Chinese students have been choosing art school as their first choice when applying for universities overseas，according to the Report on Chinese Students' Overseas Study in 2018.Anyone applying to art school should know that one's portfolio （資歷證明材料） is a crucial part of the application process.（1）
Focus on original，recent work.Admissions officers see so many portfolios on a regular basis，so it's important to make yourself stand out as an individual.（2）Presenting work that you've done within the last one or two years also provides a more relevant and accurate description of your skills.

Unless the school requires that only finished work be included in your portfolio，you should include images that reflect the progress of your work.（4）It gives admissions officers insight into the thought that has gone into the work.
