1．Modern architecture has brought many amazing buildings to the world.Here are some of the strangest buildings in the world.
Habitat 67，Montreal，Canada
Habitat 67 is a very interesting arrangement of cubes，which looks like the building blocks that children play wjye.aih.It is pretty interesting how it was designed.In its material sense，the cube is a symbol of stabiljye.aiy.It looks so original and at the same time comfortable for living.It was created as a main attraction for Expo 67，one of the world's largest universal expositions（博覽會(huì)），where housing was one of the main themes.
The Basket Building，Ohio，United States
The Longaberger Basket Company building in Newark，Ohio might just be a strangest office building in the world.The 180，000-square-foot building，a copy of the company's famous market basket，cost ＄30 million and took two years to complete.Many experts tried to persuade Dave Longaberger to change his plans，but he wanted an exact copy of the real thing.
The Crooked House，Sopot，Poland

La Pedrera，Spain

2．Growing up，Deka Ismail says she let labels define what she could be. "I was a black girl，from a refugee（難民）family，" Deka said. "It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this predetermined box."
After a high school chemistry class inspired her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field，Deka leaned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future.Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California，planning to become a professor.
Born and raised in San Diego's City Heights neighbourhood，Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple.While some might say Deka's success happened in spite of her background，she would say differently，that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven，young scientist that she is today.
When Deka was eight years old，her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family.That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one's life.She spent a lot of time in the library reading books，and didn't do many of the things her peers did，like partying or having romantic relationships.
"I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family，" Deka said. "You have to not even do your best but two times better than everyone else.I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up."
Deka's efforts paid off.The summer before her senior year of high school，she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme. "She brought both enthusiasm and focus，" Botham，a researcher at this research institute，recalled. "She arrived every day ready to work，ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar."
When asked what advice she would give to others like her，Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves. "Don't tell yourself that scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or I'll never get into this school，" she said. "I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance letters rolling in."
（1）From the passage，we can learn that.
A．Deka was adopted by a refugee family
B．Deka spent a lot of time going to parties
C．Deka became a professor after graduation
D．Deka's experiences drove her to work hard
（2）Deka realized the importance of education.
A．from her mother's experience
B．a(chǎn)fter her chemistry class
C．by reading books in the library
D．through working at the institute
（3）According to the last paragraph，Deka advised that students be.
A．patient
B．confident
C．a(chǎn)mbitious
D．generous
（4）What does the story intend to tell us？
A．Life is not all roses.
B．Practice makes perfect.
C．Well begun is half done.
D．Hard work leads to success.組卷：13引用：1難度：0.5 -
3．A serious and widespread desert locust outbreak in some parts of Somalia，Kenya，Ethiopia，Sudan and Eritrea has caused panic in the agriculture and aviation sectors.
The invasion，which has lasted for over a month despite efforts by respective governments to control it，has led to the destruction of crops and pastures（牧場(chǎng)），threatening food security in the region despite a promising harvest following successful rainfall.
The outbreak has also caused panic in the aviation sector，following a recent incident where an Ethiopian Airline passenger plane was forced by a swarm（群）of locusts to divert from landing in Dire Dawn Airport in east-central Ethiopia to Bole International Airport in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization or FAO，a specialized agency of the United Nations that leads international efforts to defeat hunger and improve nutrition and food security，the present outbreak is the worst in 25 years.
The UN agency attributed the invasion to unusual weather and climate conditions，including heavy and widespread rains since October 2019.It warned a further increase in locust swarms is likely to continue until June due to the continuation of favorable ecological conditions for locust breeding.
The locusts have already destroyed 175，000 acres of farmland in Somalia and Ethiopia，according to the FAO.
The desert locust is the most dangerous of the nearly one dozen species of locusts.A typical desert locust swarm can contain up to 150 million locusts per square kilometer，according to the IGAD.An average swarm can destroy as many food crops in a day as is sufficient to feed 2，500 people.
（1）What is the result of the desert locust outbreak on East Africa？
A．It has led to a disease outbreak.
B．It has caused the weather to change.
C．It has created fear in agriculture and aviation.
D．It has threatened the safety of the people there.
（2）What does the underlined word "divert" in Paragraph 3 mean？
A．Take a different route.
B．Take off from an airport.
C．Split off from a new place.
D．Slide away from somewhere.
（3）What can we learn about the desert locust outbreak according to the UN agency？
A．Locust breeding is slower and slower.
B．There will possibly be a decrease in locust swarms.
C．It is related to unusual weather and climate conditions.
D．The ecological conditions are bad for locust breeding.
（4）How does the author prove the desert locust is the most dangerous of the locust species？
A．By describing a process.
B．By comparison.
C．By statistics.
D．By analyzing cause and effect.組卷：9引用：1難度：0.5

An urgent call came into Jim Green's bar this past Mardi.A newly married woman who had spent the afternoon at the beach bar，couldn't find her wallet.She didn't care about her ID，credit cards，or ＄ 150 in cash-but her wedding ring was inside.
Jim，42，didn't like the idea that a theft could have occurred at his place.So he set out to find the wallet.He spent hours checking the video tapes from 16 different surveillance cameras（監(jiān)控?cái)z像機(jī)），watching the woman's every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived.Within minutes，a young man approached the bench，quickly put something in his pocket，and walked off.Jim posted a clip on the bar's Facebook page. "I just asked if anybody knew who the guy was，" Jim said.
Within hours，Jim got a text from 17-year-old Peter.Peter admitted to having taken the wallet and told Jim he'd done it because he hadn't eaten in two days.He said he saw the ring hut thought it was fake，so he took the money and threw the wallet off the public docks into the ocean.Then he bought a sandwich.
Jim，unsure whether he believed Peter，told the teen to meet him at the docks.There，they got to talking，and Peter revealed that he wasn't getting along with his family and had been living in the woods for a week.Jim，a father of two，looked closely at Peter-his small height，his ruddy cheeks- and saw him for what he was：more of a kid than a criminal.
But the risks were high.The police were already on the case，and because of the missing ring，Peter could he facing a serious crime charge. "I had to help him somehow，" Jim says.
The police wanted Jim to bring the teen down to the station.Instead，Jim called the police and told them， "He's going to be at the docks with me tomorrow."
Paragraph 1：
Jim hired two local divers to search the waters where Peter had thrown the wallet.____________.
Paragraph 2：
And then a diver popped up.____________.組卷：4引用：1難度：0.5
