This is the moment a cleaner at a British university burst into tears after students raised $ 2,063 to send him to Jamaica on vacation to see family.
Herman Gordon, who has worked at Bristol University for more than a decade, is described as “one of the most loved” members of its cleaning staff. He is so well liked that a group of students raised money to give him a holiday. A video shows a student hands an envelope of cash to the surprised Gordan with tears rolling down his cheeks. He wipes away tears with a cleaning cloth and hugs the student who gave it to him. Gordan said: “I want to thank every one of you and God bless every one of you.”
The group of students started the fundraising because they liked Gordon so much. A post said: “The Jamaican cleaner in the biomedical library is the jolliest man I have ever met; he makes me smile even when I’m in the deepest depths of sorrow, if you want a reason to smile, go talk to him for a minute or two.”
Anyone who has been to the biomedical library knows who Herman the cleaner is. Simply put, Herman is the epitome（典范）of happiness, “All year round, this man works hours on end to provide us with a clean working space in which to study. But most importantly, his everlasting positive attitude has managed to turn many students’ dark days into positive ones filled with joy,” said a student. Whether you’re just feeling generally down or stressed out due to exams, Herman is always there to encourage you.
This legend proves that happiness is not about what you own, what job you have or how much money you’ve got, but about appreciating what you currently have in life even if it’s small.
4. What was Herman Gordon’ reaction when receiving the fundraising
A. grateful. B. stressed. C. delighted. D. astonished.
5. What does the underlined word “jolliest” in paragraph 3 refer to
A most miserable. B. most cheerful. C. most generous. D. most glorious.
6. In which aspect do students benefit most from Herman
A. Building confidence. B. Developing exam skills.
C. Learning self-control. D. Gaining biomedical knowledge.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. A biomedical library cleaner. . B. A group of warm-hearted students.
C. Money-raising to send a cleaner on vacation. D. The most loved cleaning staff.

The number of birds in North America has declined (减少) by almost 3 billion since 1970, according to a study published in Science. The researchers estimated changes in the populations of 529 species using long-term bird-monitoring databases. Those data showed that the number of individual birds across all of those species had decreased by 29 percent, from around 10 billion in 1970 to just over 7 billion in 2017.
“The data they used provide probably the best long term, large information on species abundances (物种丰度) for any group of animals or plants anywhere in the world,” Natalie Wright, a bird biologist tells The Atlantic. “There’s always uncertainty, but if they are wrong, they are likely underestimating the size of population declines.”
The team also examined 10 years’ worth of data from a network of 143 weather radars, which pick up bird migrations, and found a reduction in migratory biomass of about 14 percent since 2007. “Two completely different and independent monitoring techniques thus signal major population loss across the continent,” the authors wrote in their paper.
The results are particularly concerning because many of the species showing declines are not considered rare or in danger, but are almost everywhere and potentially act as important contributors to food webs and ecosystem (生态系统) function. More than 90 percent of the loss in abundance in the survey data was due to declines in 12 families including sparrows and blackbirds. Some other species, including many ducks, instead showed increases in abundance-possibly as a result of focused conservation efforts in recent years.
The findings should be a wake-up call. Many of the birds studied spend time in multiple countries within and beyond North America. What our birds need now is a historic, global effort that unites people and organizations with one common goal: bringing our birds back.
8. How does the first paragraph show the bird reduction
A. By comparing figures. B. By doing experiments.
C. By using experts’ words. D. By listing some examples.
9. What can we infer about the function of the data according to Natalie Wright
A. It’s wrong. B. It’s formal.
C. It’s helpful D. It’s useless.
10. Which of the following is particularly worrying
A. The population of widespread species is declining.
B. Few species across the continent show the increase.
C. Some ducks are likely to lose their ecosystem function.
D. The focus of conservation efforts has turned out wrong.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To point out the importance of raising birds.
B. To call on people to work together to bring birds back.
C. To analyze the concerning results of long-term research.
D. To inform people of the dangers many species are facing.
D
Online educational learning games is an effective way with endless option for teaching kids of all age groups, and children are also able to operate the computer without much help. Parents who become familiar with operating the computer find it easier to teach kids through these programs.
Children are not willing to learn math tables or difficult words at school. They find it fun to sit in front of a computer and learn language and solve mathematical problems. In this age of computers, computers are becoming an important part of the child’s daily curriculum (全部课程) with parents opting to teach these children new things each day with the help of online educational games.

Parents have to keep an eye on their kids and make sure that they do not spend their time on the computer playing games that could be harmful for them. It is essential to direct the kids to educational sites that have beneficial games and are known to help the progress of these children.
12. Why do parents find it easier to teach kids according to Paragraph 1

This is the moment a cleaner at a British university burst into tears after students raised $ 2,063 to send him to Jamaica on vacation to see family.
Herman Gordon, who has worked at Bristol University for more than a decade, is described as “one of the most loved” members of its cleaning staff. He is so well liked that a group of students raised money to give him a holiday. A video shows a student hands an envelope of cash to the surprised Gordan with tears rolling down his cheeks.

A post said: “The Jamaican cleaner in the biomedical library is the jolliest man I have ever met; he makes me smile even when I’m in the deepest depths of sorrow, if you want a reason to smile, go talk to him for a minute or two.”
Anyone who has been to the biomedical library knows who Herman the cleaner is. Simply put, Herman is the epitome（典范）of happiness, “All year round, this man works hours on end to provide us with a clean working space in which to study. But most importantly, his everlasting positive attitude has managed to turn many students’ dark days into positive ones filled with joy,” said a student. Whether you’re just feeling generally down or stressed out due to exams, Herman is always there to encourage you.
This legend proves that happiness is not about what you own, what job you have or how much money you’ve got, but about appreciating what you currently have in life even if it’s small.

【分析】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了布里斯托大学一名清洁工，因积极的人生态度深受学生喜爱，学生们自发筹钱让他回牙买加度假并与家人团聚的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。本题要求从四个形容词中选出一个最恰当的来描述Herman Gordan当时的反应，A. grateful感激的；B. stressed紧张的，有压力的；C. delighted高兴的，令人愉悦的；D. astonished吃惊的，震惊的。文中第一、二段都提到他流眼泪（如burst into tears），但难以直接作出判断，需结合第二段他所说的话：Gordan said: “I want to thank every one of you and God bless every one of you.”（我想要感谢你们每一个人，上帝保佑你们每一个人），可知他对此十分感激，故选A。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。定位该词所在原文“The Jamaican cleaner in the biomedical library is the jolliest man I have ever met; he makes me smile even when I’m in the deepest depths of sorrow, if you want a reason to smile, go talk to him for a minute or two.”引文说他是见过的 “jolliest”的人，根据后面的描述，当我处于极度悲伤的状态时，他都能使我微笑；如果你想要一个生活值得微笑的理由，去和他聊聊就行了。微笑（smile）是这里的关键词。A. most miserable最悲惨痛苦的；B. most cheerful最快乐达观的；C. most generous最慷慨大方的；D. most glorious最光荣辉煌的。与微笑（smile）最契合的应是快乐达观，故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第四段“But most importantly, his everlasting positive attitude has managed to turn many students’ dark days into positive ones filled with joy,”（但最重要的是，他一以贯之的积极生活态度已经设法帮助很多处于最灰暗状态中的学生转变，重新拥有了快乐、积极的生活）以及“Whether you’re just feeling generally down or stressed out due to exams, Herman is always there to encourage you.”（无论你是单纯的心情失落，还是考试压力过大，Herman都在那鼓励你），由此推断出Herman对学生帮助最大的方面应该是建立自信，故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据原文第二段第一句的提示“Herman Gordon, who has worked at Bristol University for more than a decade, is described as “one of the most loved” members of its cleaning staff.”可知，他是最受学生喜爱的清洁工之一，原文主要围绕“最受学生喜爱”这个点展开，讲述了他的积极乐观给学生带来的帮助，happiness、positive和smile等词在文中各段不断出现，结尾还以happiness作结升华。因此文章的主旨不是“一个生物医学图书馆清洁工”，也不是“热心的学生”或是“筹钱让他度假”的事情本身，而是“最受学生喜爱的清洁工”及衍生开去的故事，故选D。
C

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者通过数据对比的方式向读者讲述鸟类数量逐渐减少的现象，从而号召人们努力合作挽救鸟类减少这一局面。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Those data showed that the number of individual birds across all of those species had decreased by 29 percent, from around 10 billion in 1970 to just over 7 billion in 2017.(这些数据显示，所有这些物种的鸟类个体数量减少了29%，从1970年的约100亿只减少到2017年的略多于70亿只。)”可知，第一段是通过对比1970年和2017年鸟类个体的数量来表明鸟类的减少的。故选A。
【9题详解】
