When the Bayside campus of Shekou International School(SIS)are still kept shut because of the COVID-19 pandemic,teaching activities at the school have been resumed online since Feb.3rd,2020.

The school is using popular apps and software for online learning.Video conferencing and office automationare used to help teachers keep track of students’conditions and communicate with their workmates across the world.Teaching online also offers a new experience to the teachers to update their teaching methods and to step out of their comfort zones.

Staying in Phuket,Thailand,science teacher Riley Laird records videos on a10-year-old green sea turtle named Marlin and the local turtle sanctuary as part of the online classes on ecosystems for Grade7students.“I want to connect our learning with the reality.The sanctuary sends us updates on the turtles’health and progress. They say that Marlin is likely to be released into the sea in mid-June,”says Laird.

Rebecca Wallace is a Grade4teacher at the school,staying in her mother’s home in New York.From8p.m. to midnight every day,she starts teaching mathematics and arts to her students living in different time zones. Though teaching nearly around the clock,Wallace says that she is getting to know the students better in terms of their homes,family and even pets.

Greg Smith,head of SIS,names the online teaching period a“new normal”at the school.“Students are now more skillful at using technology than before.They see that communication is the most powerful part of being an effective learner and can use the tools to shrink distance and time.The“new normal”will offer more choices for connection to the world and more focus on creating real solutions,”he says.

According to the school,68%of its students are staying in Shenzhen while27%of them are staying abroad for the epidemic.

The fight is on to get rid of air pollution in our cities.While the best solution in the long-term would be to ban fossil-fueled cars,that won’t help the millions who are dying in the meantime,and so some high-tech solutions are now on the cards.

London’s air pollution problem has been getting worse for years.In March2016,ten London pigeons became famous.These pigeons took to the sky,wearing backpacks monitoring air pollution.Once in the air,the backpacks sent live air-quality updates to the smartphones of the Londoners below.

Another promising approach can be found in Beijing.A seven-metre-high“Smog Free Tower”,designed by a Dutch scientist,Daan Roosegaarde,opened in Beijing’s751D Park in September2016.It is a huge,outdoor air purifier.Airborne particles(颗粒)are sucked into the tower and caught by a dust-removal plate.Finally,clean air is blown out of the other end.“Changing smog particles does not take much power.”Roosegaarde said.

As for what to do with the collected PM waste,he has currently set up a business making jewellery out of the waste.Prince Charles owns a set of“smog free”cufflinks(袖扣).If collected on at a big scale,Roosegaarde believes it could even be used as a building material.

Mexico City has an alternative solution.Looking to Nature to maximize the surface area of a building, Allison Dring,a Berlin-based architect,managed to catch light and wind from all sides.She is now making a building material by burning agricultural crop by-products in the absence of oxygen.“It means that you are actually taking carbon(碳)out of the sky,transforming it into a material,and then using it to build,”says Dring.

The fight against outdoor air pollution is really just starting.Even if none of the ideas take off,at least Prince Charles’cufflinks,the special building surface and pigeons wearing back-packs will have brought the issue more to the public’s attention.

35.The underlined words“on the cards”in Para.1probably mean________.

A.hardly to achieve

B.widely questioned

C.very likely to happen

D.publicly welcomed

36.The ten pigeons in London were used to________.

A.monitor air pollution

B.warn Londoners

C.update weather forecast

D.promote backpacks

37.What can we learn about the Smog Free Tower?

A.It can catch light and wind.

B.Its power consumption is high.

C.PM waste from it can be reused.

D.It is the first air purifier in the world.

38.What’s the best title for the passage?

A.When can humans get rid of smog?

B.Why is technology used to fight smog?

C.How are the world’s cities fighting smog?

D.What makes smog a worldwide problem?

四、原文阅读回答问题（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）

根据节选小说内容，回答问题。

“Hello,”said Bruno.

“Hello,”said the boy.

The boy was smaller than Bruno.He wore the same striped pajamas that all the other people on that side of the fence wore,and a striped cloth cap on his head.He wasn’t wearing any shoes or socks and his feet were rather dirty.

When Bruno first approached the boy,he was sitting cross-legged on the ground,staring at the dust(尘土) beneath him.However,after a moment he looked up and Bruno saw his face.It was quite a strange face too.... When the boy looked at him,all Bruno could see was an enormous pair of sad eyes staring back.

Bruno was sure that he had never seen a skinnier or sadder boy in his life.He thought that he had better talk to him.

...

Bruno stared at the boy and considered asking him why he looked so sad but hesitated(犹豫)because he thought it might sound rude.He knew that sometimes people who were sad didn’t want to be asked about it; sometimes they’d offer the information themselves and sometimes they wouldn’t stop talking about it for monthson end,but on this occasion,Bruno decided that he should wait before saying anything.

Bruno sat down on the ground on his side of the fence and crossed his legs like the little boy and wished that he had brought some chocolate with him or perhaps a pastry that they could share.

“I live in the house on this side of the fence,”said Bruno....“I can see right over the fence from there.I’m Bruno,by the way.”

“I’m Shmuel,”said the little boy.

...

“...How old are you?”Bruno asked.

Shmuel thought about it and looked down at his fingers and they wiggled in the air,as if he was trying to calculate(计算).“I’m nine,”he said.“My birthday is April the fifteenth nineteen thirty-four.”

Bruno stared at him in surprise.“What did you say?”he asked.

“I said my birthday is April the fifteenth nineteen thirty-four.”

Bruno’s eyes opened wide and his mouth made the shape of an O.“I don’t believe it,”he said.

“Why not?”asked Shmuel.

“No,”said Bruno,shaking his head quickly.“I don’t mean I don’t believe you.I mean I’m surprised,that’s all.Because my birthday is April the fifteenth too.We were born on the same day.”

Shmuel thought about this.“So you’re nine too,”he said.

“Yes.Isn’t that strange?”

“Very strange,”said Shmuel.“Because there may be dozens of Shmuels on this side of the fence but I don’t think that I’ve ever met anyone with the same birthday as me before.”

“We’re like twins,”said Bruno.“A little bit,”agreed Shmuel.

Bruno felt very happy all of a sudden...

39.How did Bruno feel about the boy at the first sight?

40.After hesitation,what did Bruno decide to do?

41.Why did Bruno stare at Shmuel in surprise?

42.Why did Bruno feel very happy all of a sudden?

43.What kind of boy do you think Bruno was?And why?

The next morning when Callie arrived at school,her friend Tamara was waiting for her,who had a surprise for Callie.“My mom bought tickets for us to go to Fun World this Sunday.”Tamara said.The girls had been waiting for months for the new amusement park to open.

Callie’s heart dropped.“But Mrs.Baker is expecting me to help,”she said.Tamara looked disappointed.“Can’t someone else do it?I want you to go to Fun World with me!”

Callie worried about her problem for the rest of the day.Her mother noticed her mood.“I know you want to go with Tamara and also help Mrs.Baker.Think carefully about your choices.You need to make your own decisions,but I know you will do what is the best.”Her mother said.

Callie spent the rest of the evening thinking about her decision.

The next day at school,Callie told Tamara that she was unable to go to Fun World.Tamara tried to understand,but Callie could tell Tamara was disappointed.The girls hardly spoke for the rest of the week.

On Sunday,Callie met Mrs.Baker at the garden.“Your mother said you made a(n)difficult choice.Thank you for giving a hand today.”Callie smiled as she cleaned with a large trash bag.

“Do you need any help?”a voice behind her asked.Callie turned,surprised to see Tamara.“I know you made a(n)promise to clean up the garden,and I wanted to come help you.My mom said she could take us to Fun World next weekend.”
