• 2．Teachers in poor areas are always being asked to do more with less.They're given smaller budgets and larger tasks in schools that employ fewer teachers and take in more students.But none of these struggles can quite compare to the challenges faced by a computing teacher Akoto in Ghana who teaches his students how to use computers.
     Akoto recently posted photos of his classroom，and they've gotten quite a response.Akoto is an information and communication technology（ICT）teacher who has been assigned to teach his students without using an actual computer.So like any good teacher，Akoto teaches them by drawing pictures of a computer on the blackboard.
     Akoto recently shared images of one of his computer lessons，in which he can be seen using multi-colored chalk to draw the features of Microsoft Word software on the blackboard.In one of the photos，you can see his students drawing the same images in their notebooks.
     One might ask，"Why do they bother to take such a challenging course？" But here's the reason：Even though the students at Akoto's school don't have computers，they are still required to pass a national exam that includes a section on computing skills before they move onto high school.
     So Akoto does what he needs to do to ensure that his students understand the material.He has drawn pictures many times for his students over his six years and just happened to share the pictures this time on Facebook.He says he has his own personal laptop，but it is different from the one Akoto is required to teach.He doesn't bring it to class for fear of confusing the kids with a computer that they have never seen.
     The good news is that those Facebook pictures made their way to the right place.Microsoft Africa promised to give him some proper resources.Others also stepped up to the plate and helped out Akoto.NIIT Ghana，an information technology training institution，donated five computers to Akoto's school and one for Akoto himself.A PhD student at the University of Leeds in the U.K.inspired by Akoto also donated a computer.
  
  （1）Which of the following best describes the state of Akoto's school？

  
  A．Well-funded.
  B．Underdeveloped.
  C．Full-equipped.
  D．Unattended.
  （2）How do Akoto's students react to his classes？

  
  A．They copy his behavior in class.
  B．They learn to identify multi-colored chalk.
  C．They usually take photos of the computers.
  D．They often share images of their lessons online.
  （3）Why does Akoto choose not to bring his own laptop to his classes？

  
  A．He is unwilling to share it.
  B．He is confused by its system.
  C．He is uncertain about its function.
  D．He is afraid to puzzle his students.
  （4）What can we conclude from the last paragraph？

  
  A．To stand still is to move back.
  B．Actions speak louder than words.
  C．Great things can be achieved by joint effort.
  D．A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

• 3．A shocking news report has revealed that more than one in five species of maple （枫树）trees faces extinction，warning that 75% of the threatened species are "geographically restricted" in their native regions.
     The trees are experiencing a vast decline in habitat，due to urban development，wood harvesting and agricultural expansion.Time is running out for the world's biodiversity.Every recent survey of plants and animals in the wild points to this.This is happening nearly everywhere rarer maples exist.And because of climate change，the narrow habitats that support species at the edges of dry places and at the tops of mountains are quickly disappearing.
     The trees can be found in subtropical and tropical regions，as far south as Indonesia.The only species found in the UK，the field maple is not under threat.Not only are the trees a popular attractive feature in parks and public spaces，but they are a key part of the natural ecosystem in woodlands，as well as being an important wood crop in several countries.Although the sugar maple in North America，which produces maple juice，is not endangered，two of the closest relatives to the species are endangered.
     The report notes that conserving at-risk species in their natural habitat is the best conservation tactic.But collections in botanical gardens and seed banks- called "ex situ collections" can act as insurance policies against extinction.There are currently 14 species of maple，including four that are critically endangered，which are absent from these types of collections.
     One species in Mexico，the Acer binzayedii，is in "desperate need of conservation" despite only being discovered in 2017. "It is at risk from climate change in its cloud forest habitat and threatened by logging and forest fires while it is also absent from 'ex situ collections'，" the report adds.The report recommends developing conservation plans，monitoring species currently not at risk to ensure populations are maintained，and adding those missing maple species to seed banks.
  
  （1）What is paragraph 2 mainly about？

  
  A．Action to protect maple trees.
  B．The dangerous situation of maple trees.
  C．Various maple trees' habitats in the world.
  D．The conditions for diversity in maple trees.
  （2）What do the field maple and the sugar maple have in common？

  
  A．They cannot produce juice.
  B．They are found in America.
  C．They are not at risk of extinction.
  D．They have two endangered relatives.
  （3）What does the underlined word "tactic" in paragraph 4 probably mean？

  
  A．Topic.
  B．Approach.
  C．Result.
  D．Conclusion.
  （4）What's the main purpose of the report？

  
  A．To offer a proposal.
  B．To recommend a product.
  C．To introduce maple species.
  D．To warn people of disasters.
