2．A British woman，Dr.Mantri，growing up in India started to notice his son，Dhruv，was struggling with simple arithmetic when he was in fifth-grade.After noticing this，she started employing an abacus （算盤） to help her son visually comprehend mathematics.
"I would ask him something like 35 minus 13 and he couldn't do it." said Dhruv's mom Dr.Mantri. "I decided to change the way he looked at numbers，" she said. "An abacus is a tried and tested method，and the Egyptians used them for building the pyramid." In just six days he started to show progress with the abacus and would go on to become a whizz kid with numbers，with even his classmates' parents reaching out for help.
She never thought she would teach her son using an abacus，which she used as a child in India and it was always helpful.Within six days she started to notice a difference and see results.So dramatic was the turnaround，that school staff asked him to perform with the abacus at an assembly，where some parents even came to ask for advice on using it for their kids.
IT specialist Dr.Mantri said the humble abacus can be used for calculations into the trillions and kids enjoy learning on it because it's like a game. "It becomes a playing tool for younger children，for it feels like a game.I think the success comes because children can touch and feel an abacus and visualize them." She added.
By the age of 12，Dhruv was giving online cyber security seminars and is now pursuing a career in data science and analytics.Dhruv has now landed an apprenticeship （實(shí)習(xí)） at an international firm.During the four-year apprenticeship，he will spend one day a week studying Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Glasgow Caledonian University. "He is so confident now and I am so proud，" she said，with Dhruv adding "I don't think my teachers would have guessed that I would be following a career in data science at that time."
（1）Why did Dhruv have difficulty in learning mathematics？
A．He was faced with language barrier.
B．He didn't find a proper way.
C．He suffered from eyesight problems.
D．He lacked academic support from the family.
（2）What does the underlined word "whizz" in paragraph 2 mean？
A．Careful.
B．Diligent.
C．Outstanding.
D．Struggling.
（3）Why do kids like learning on abacus according to the text？
A．They find it appealing.
B．They can calculate faster.
C．They enjoy playing games.
D．They are eager for success.
（4）What can we infer from the last paragraph？
A．Dhruv was addicted to the internet at 12.
B．Dhruv is teaching data science and analytics now.
C．Dhruv is a full-time student at Glasgow Caledonian University.
D．Dhruv's career choice was beyond his teachers' expectation.組卷：27引用：8難度：0.5 -
3．Throughout history，many species of animals have been threatened with extinction.When Europeans first arrived in North America，more than 60 million buffalo （水牛） lived on the continent.Yet hunting the buffalo was so popular during the 19th century that by 1900 the animal's population had fallen to about 400 before the government stepped in to protect the species.In some countries today，the elephant faces a similar challenge，as illegal hunters kill the animals for the ivory in their tusks.
Yet not all animals with commercial value face this threat （威脅）.The cow，for example，is a valuable source of food，but no one worries that the cow will soon be extinct.Why does the commercial value of ivory threaten the elephant.jye.ai the commercial value of beef protects the cow？
The reason is that elephants are a common resource，while cows are private goods.Elephants wander freely without any owners.The hunter has a strong motivation to kill as many elephants as he can find.Because illegal hunters are numerous，each has only a slight motivation to preserve the elephant population.By contrast，cattle live on farms that are privately owned.Each farmer makes great effort to maintain the cattle population on his farm because he harvests the benefit of these efforts.
Governments have tried to solve the elephant's problem in two ways.Some countries，such as Kenya and Uganda，have made it illegal to kill elephants and sell their ivory.Yet these laws have been hard to put into effect，and elephant populations have continued to dwindle.By contrast，other countries，such as Malawi and Namibia，have made elephants private goods and allowed people to kill elephants，but only those on their own property.
With private ownership and the profit motive now on its side，the African elephant might someday be as safe from extinction as the cow.The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle pointed out the problem with common resources： "What is common to many is taken least care of，for all men have greater regard for what is their own than for what they possess in common with others."
（1）Why does the author mention buffalo in paragraph 1？
A．To introduce a similar threat to elephants.
B．To provide an example of species extinction.
C．To offer an explanation for government policies.
D．To present the statistics of the buffalo in America.
（2）Why do elephants face threats while cows are safe？
A．They are under different law protection.
B．They attract different groups of hunters.
C．They contain different commercial value.
D．They represent different ownership types.
（3）What is paragraph 4 mainly about？
A．Bans on killing elephants for ivory.
B．Effective laws for elephant protection.
C．Methods of making elephants private goods.
D．Government policies on the elephant's problem.
（4）What can we learn from Aristotle's words？
A．People hold little regard for others' property.
B．People want to profit from common resources.
C．People care more about their own possession.
D．People tend to take what they own for granted.組卷：5引用：5難度：0.5

The little boy A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people rarely visited．The house was very old and shabby and the owner hardly ever came out．When he did come out，he would not say hello to his neighbors or passers-by but simply just glare at them．
The boy knocked on the door and waited，sweating from fear of the old man．The boy's parents told him to stay away from the house，and a lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents．
Dust found the boy lingering on and hesitating what to do．As he was ready to walk away，the door slowly opened． "What do you want？" the old man said impatiently．The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota（份額） to meet for school with selling the magazines．So he got up the courage and said， "Uh，sir，I am selling these magazines and uh，I was wondering if you would like to buy one from me．"
The old man just stared at the boy without a word．The boy could see inside the old man's house and saw that he had dog figurines（小雕像） on the fireplace mantle． "Do you collect dogs？" The little boy asked． "Yes，I have many collections in my house．They are my family here and they are all I have．" The boy then felt sorry for the man，as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul．
"Well，I do have a magazine here for collectors．It is perfect for you．I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much．" The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said， "No，boy．I don't need any magazines of any kind，now goodbye．"
The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale．He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house that he owned．The boy went home and then had an idea．He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt．The figurine did not mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family．
Para 1：
The little boy headed back down to the old man's house．_____
Para 2：
From that day on something changed inside the old man．__________組卷：23引用：4難度：0.5
