B After university in 2011, Samuel went to a rural primary school for native children, where, on his first day, another teacher told him, "Samuel, you don"t have to do much, they"re just Orang Asli-native children." This was what Samuel would spend years fighting against. The Orang Asli community has struggled with poverty, melting into society, and losing their own identity and culture due to others" disregard of it. Samuel saw that the main barrier in teaching these children was the attitude on the part of many teachers that the native children were not worth their efforts. It was thought that whatever was taught would make no difference, so nobody bothered to try. The children themselves ended up believing these stigmas (污名), often doubting what they can achieve. Teachers skipped or slept in classes, and little effort was made to create an appropriate learning environment. Consequently, the school was one of the worst-performing in the district. Samuel bonded with his native students and accepted their culture, leading him to see their potential. However, he also came to see that they did not have equal opportunities compared to urban schools, due to the lack of facilities. So he set up a crowdfunding project to create a fully equipped 21st-century English classroom with tablets and computers. The Orang Asli children now learn technology, experience English and communicate in English with volunteers all over Malaysia and overseas. Consequently, the students have improved in national standardized examinations, from a pass rate of 30% in English (2008-2012) to an average of 80% (2013-2017). These efforts have resulted in a shift of what local children are considered capable of academically. 24. What did the teacher"s words suggest about the native children?

　 A. They were intelligent. B. They were hopeless. C. They were unfriendly. D. They were independent. 25. What major problem did Samuel need to solve? A. The poverty of local people. B. The lack of facilities in his school. C. The prejudice against the native kids. D. The unsuitable teaching methods. 26. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The change of native students. B. The importance of learning English. C. The improvement of native education. D. Samuel"s work for the native kids. 27. What can we learn from Samuel"s story? A. Respect makes a big difference. B. The academic performance comes first. C. Everyone deserves access to education. D. One method can"t apply to each situation. C While the Mars and the moon are currently the hottest destinations for outer space exploration. Mercury (水星) might be another exciting choice. The inner planet Mercury is extremely difficult to see with the naked eye. It is “the innermost and smallest terrestrial planet in solar system.” noted the BBC.

　The European-Japanese BepiColombo spacecraft was successfully launched on Oct 20, marking the start of its seven-year trip to Mercury, the Guardian reported. The European Space Agency (ESA) has described the journey as one of the most complex interplanetary missions ever undertaken. Mercury is located just 58 million kilometers away from the sun. It follows a tight path to make one revolution (公转) around the sun, completing a full orbit every 88 days. Therefore, in order to get into Mercury’s orbit, BepiColombo has to stand the extremely strong gravity of the sun. In order to solve the problem, BepiColombo will use special flybys (近天体探测飞行) to get into Mercury’s orbit. According to ESA, Mercury’s temperature ranges from 450℃ on the sunward side to minus 180℃ on the dark side. In order to study the planet, the spacecraft “is going from one to the other over a few tens of minutes... our instruments have to operate around room temperature,” according to Suzanne Imber of the University of Leicester, UK. BepiColombo has been coated with temperature-resistant layers to keep it safe.

　 If everything goes as planned, BepiColombo will travel through or solar system at 60 kilometers per second and reach Mercury in late December 2025. It will then split into two probes that will travel in different directions. “What this lets you do is look at the space environment around Mercury from two different directions at exactly the same time,” US planetary scientist Nancy Chabot told National Public Radio. 28. According to text, Mercury is ________. A. easily accessible B. well visible C. rarely explored D. extremely cold 29. What’s the use of the special flybys? A. To change the orbit. B. To escape the pull of the sun. C. To accelerate the spacecraft. D. To resist the high temperature. 30. What can we infer from Nancy’s words? A. Extreme temperatures will be a challenge. B. We can use gravitational forces to change direction. C. We may get clearer pictures of Mercury’s revolution. D. BepiColombo is likely to land on Mercury in the near future. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. The journey to Mercury. B. The mystery of Mercury. C. The environment around Mercury. D. The life on Mercury. D As heat waves continue to ravage the planet, air conditioners are becoming more and more common. However, these "active" cooling devices are posing problems because the electricity consumption which most people are concerned about and the release of ozone-damaging chemicals worsen the greenhouse gas effect, resulting in the creation of heat islands and further thermal pollution. Therefore, "passive" cooling, which doesn"t have such effects, has attracted considerable attention from both scientists and ordinary people in recent years. In a recent study, a team of researchers from China and US presented an eco-friendly, low-cost smart coating to keep buildings cooler while consuming zero electricity. Infrared radiation-based passive cooling has been investigated since 2014, but challenges, mainly the expensive and unsustainable design, have greatly limited their large-scale and widespread application. Besides, the imbalance in cooling ability of these coatings during the day and night tends to lead to great day-night temperature differences as more heat is lost than gained at night. The solution therefore requires a "smart" mechanism that can both enhance daytime cooling and minimize nighttime heat loss. To do this, the researchers created a new smart coating comprised of conventional building

　 materials, including titanium dioxide nanoparticles, fluorescent microparticles, and glass microspheres that were engineered to reflect most of the sunlight. Specifically, the titanium dioxide particles effectively reflect sunlight through light scattering（撒播）while the fluorescent particles increase the amount of reflection by changing the absorbed sunlight into fluorescence emissions, which drive more heat away from the building. Meanwhile, the glass microspheres re-send mid-infrared broadband radiation, allowing not only heat loss, but allowing heat exchange to take place between the building and the sky. The coating was tested on a model concrete building. Through this efficient heat exchange with the sky, daytime cooling was strengthened while nighttime cooling was reduced. The building"s inside temperature was always maintained at around 26℃, even when the out-side temperature varied from 24℃ to 37℃ during the day. We believe this new coating will make it to commercialization soon, enabling a sustainable, passive cooling technology that could help to fight climate change and the global energy crisis. 32. What is the virtue of passive cooling? A. It is simple to design. B. It uses no chemicals. C. It is smart. D. It uses no power. 33. Why couldn"t the former coating be applied commercially? A. It was hard to design. B. Its material was hard to produce. C. Its heat loss and cooling are imbalanced. D....
