Huang Shengen tied a small blackboard to his motorbike, together with all his teaching things and an alarm clock around his neck, and then started his ride.
53-year-old Huang has worked as a primary school teacher for 35 years in Yichun, Jiangxi Province. As the only teacher in Shaniping Primary School, which was closed because of COVID-19, Huang went to 7-year-old Zeng Yufen’s home. In the school, the girl is the only student living with her grandmother in a mountain village.
All primary school students were having online classes at home. However, Huang found that the network signal was poor at Zeng’s home when he took books to the girl at the end of February.
In order not to disappoint her, Huang thought of the idea of a mobile classroom. He showed up at Zeng’s home the next day with a blackboard, a ruler and a box of chalks.
Every morning, Huang rode about 15 kilometers up the mountain road to Zeng’s home. After class, he played games with his student, and he also taught the student to draw flowers and the beautiful mountain village.
“I’m a teacher from a village, and my job is to teach her so that she might leave the mountain and live a better life in the future,” Huang said.
Judge the following sentences true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.
51. Huang was 18 years old when he started teaching at the school.
52. Huang found it was hard for the girl to take online classes when he took books to Zeng Yufen.

Vicuna, a small town in the north of Chile, is a great place for watching stars all year round. Although it is near the sea, the cold, wet air from the coast does not bring clouds. Instead, dry winds from the desert keep the clouds away at night. In fact, the sky is so clear in Vicuna that it is possible to see many stars that can be seen only with advanced（先进的）instruments in other parts of the world.
In Vicuna, distant（遥远的）star systems such as Magellanic Clouds can be seen without the help of an instrument. That is why the town was chosen as the home of a number of sky observatories (天文台). One of them, the Mamalluca, is quite different from the typical observatories used by scientists. This observatory was built for tourists who like to look at the stars. During the year, Vicuna’s hotels accommodate thousands of tourists who come from all over the world to see the night sky as they have only seen it in books. The cloudless sky is clearly a moneymaker for the town, which plans to set up even more observatories. It was recently decided that building observatories would go on for another few years.
At one point, however, the town faced a serious problem. As the town grew, more streetlights were added, making it more and more difficult to see the stars at night. The town saved the night sky by building a new system of lights that lit up the streets without influencing the view of the sky.
Choose the best choice from A, B or C according to the passage.
56. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Vicuna is a small town far from the ocean.
B. We can see wonderful clouds in the sky over Vicuna.
C. The sky in Vicuna is clear all year round.
57. What makes the Mamalluca a special observatory in Vicuna?
A. Its size B. Its location C. It serves tourists
58 What does the underlined word “accommodate” most probably mean in Chinese?
A. 容纳 B. 建议 C. 控制
59. Why did Vicuna spend money on a new streetlight system?
A. The old streetlights used lots of electricity.
B. The old streetlights made it hard to see the stars at night.
C. The new streetlights would make streetlights more beautiful.
60. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Vicuna Has a Problem
B. A Town to Watch the Stars
C. Pictures of a Cloudless Sky
(D)
You’ve been learning words since you were a tiny baby. At first, you learned them only by hearing other people talk. Now that you’re a reader, you have another way to learn words. What should you do when you come to a word and you think you don’t know what it means? _______61_______.
Say it
First sound it out. Then say it to yourself. _______62_______. Sometimes you know a word in your head but you don’t know what it looks like in print. So if you match up what you know and what you read—you have the word!
Use context
If this doesn’t work, take the next step: look at the context — the other words and sentences around it. Read this sentence: When it rained, the dog looked for shelter in the doorway. _______63_______. Rain and in the doorway might give you helpful information.
_______64_______
If the context doesn’t help, look at the parts of the word. Does it have any parts you know? These can help you understand what it means. If you don’t know the meaning of miner, try looking at parts of the word. You might know that a mine is a place underground where people get coal and other valuable things. A lot of times, -er at the end of a word means “a person who does something”. So a miner might be someone who works in a mine.
Look it up
If the three steps above don’t work, you can look it up. _______65_______ — either a book or online.
Nobody knows the meaning of every word, but good readers know how to understand words they don’t know.
Choose five sentences out of the six in the box to complete the passage. Each choice should be used only once.
A. Use word parts
B. Look at the words
C. It might sound like a word you know
D. You can find the word in a dictionary
E. Following some easy steps can help you
F. If the word shelter doesn’t look familiar, look at the words around it

(E)
Once upon a time, a hippo（河马）lived in a river next to a big tree.
One day, a bird came and nested （筑巢）in the tree. The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy（羡慕）that he couldn’t think of anything else. Every day he would think why he wasn’t born to be a bird even though the bird told him many times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer.
Finally, the hippo made up his mind that he would come out of the river, climb the tree and start singing. However, when he tried to climb the tree, it was very clear that the hippo didn’t have wings to fly, or claws to climb with.
Realizing that he would never climb up the tree, he angrily hit the tree until it came crashing to the ground. Then he stepped onto the leaves of the fallen tree, and began singing.
Unfortunately, hippos can’t sing, either. All that came from his mouth were terrible noises, and when the other animals heard this, they all came around to make fun of the hippo.
He was so ashamed by this. He also felt bad about having knocked the tree over. He used all his strength to raise the tree back up again, and look after it until it completely recovered. （康复）.
Complete the summary of the passage above with one word for each blank.
