I am Turere. I come from Kitengela, a farming community on the edge (边缘) of Nairobi National Park of Kenya (肯尼亚). Since the age of nine, I have helped to look after my family's cows. As a child, in my free time, I enjoyed playing with electronics. I made my own inventions, such as electronic toys from car parts and other things. I also built other electronic devices (仪器) for my neighbors.
At the age of 13, I invented something that changed my life. It also changed the lives of many people in my community. One night, a lion from the park came into my family's farm and killed one of our cows. I was angry. However, killing the lion, I thought, was not the best way to solve the problem. Instead, I decided to invent a solution
The first idea I got was to use fire, because I thought lions were scared of fire. But I came to realize that that didn't really help, because it was even helping the lions to see through the cowshed (牛棚). So I didn't give up. I continued.
And a second idea I got was to use a scarecrow (稻草人). I was trying to trick the lions into thinking that I was standing near the cowshed. But lions are very clever. They will come the first day and they see the scarecrow, and they go back. But the second day, they'll come and they say, this thing is not moving here, it is always here! So he jumps in and kills the animals.
So one night, I was walking around the cowshed with a torch (手电筒), and that day the lions didn't come. And I discovered that lions were afraid of a moving light. So I had an idea.

Playing video games and getting money for it seems like a dream job for many of today's teenagers. But is it all fun and games?
Big business
Pro (professional) gaming is certainly big business. In 2017, there were more than 3,000 gaming competitions and over 10,000 professional players worldwide. A large number of people watch their competitions online, and successful gamers can get more than 1,000,000 dollars from prize money and ads. The industry is clearly thriving.
What it takes
Becoming a professional is not just about being good at playing games — it also takes a lot of hard work. Some pro gamers practice for fourteen hours a day. “You need to spend much time and put all your efforts to it”, says ex-gamer George.
Not all fun and games
It can be a difficult job as well. Stress is a big problem for gamers. Tiredness is another, and injuries (受伤) are common. Top player Hai Lam had wrist (手腕) problems after years of progaming. Careers (生涯) are short, and many gamers retire (退休) before they are 30 and try to find another job.
However, the bad points probably won't change the dreams of many teenage gamers. And angry parents are still likely to hear the excuse, “But I'm just practicing for my future job!”
68. How many professional players were there around the world in 2017?
A. 130,000. B. More than 3,000.
C. Over 1,000,000. D. More than 10,000.
69. What does the underlined word “thriving” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Getting worse. B. Doing well.
C. Developing slowly. D. Changing quickly.
70. What can we infer from the last sentence of the passage?
A. Children are angry with their parents.
B. Teenagers practice games for their future jobs.
C. Some teenagers are crazy about playing games.
D. Parents stop their children playing games successfully.
71. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. Pro gaming isn't all fun and games.
B. The career as a pro gamer doesn't last long.
C. Being a pro gamer is a good choice for teenagers.
D. Being a pro gamer is an easy way to make money.

Everyone faces challenges in their life, but some are more important than others. Daniel Kish had serious problems with his eyes when he was born. And doctors took away both of his eyes before he was fourteen months old.
Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He started to make clicking (咔塔) sounds with his tongue (舌头) to help him move around. Much like a bat (蝙幅), he now moves about using sonar (声呐). He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle in traffic. He and his group, World Access for the Blind, teach others how to use sonar. In this interview with National Geographic, Kish explains how the process works.
How does sonar work?
“When I make a clicking sound, it makes sound waves. These waves reflect (反射) off surfaces all around and return to my ears. My brain then processes the sounds into images (图像). It's like having a conversation with the environmen.
When you click, what do you see in your mind?
“Each click is like a camera flash. I make a 3D image of the things around me for hundreds of feet in every direction
What is it like riding a bike using sonar?
“It's exciting and enjoyable but requires a lot of focus. I click up to two times per second, much more than I usually do.”
Is it dangerous to move around the world in this way?
“Much of the world lives in fear of things that we mostly imagine. I have a habit of climbing anything and everything, but I never broke a bone (骨头) as a kid.”
How challenging is it to teach people to use sonar?
“Many students are surprised how quickly results come. Seeing isn't in the eyes, it' s in the mind.”
72. What's the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A. Kish explains how sonar works.
B. Kish teaches people how to use sonar.
C. Kish started to move around using sonar.
D. Kish is good at riding a bicycle in traffic.
73. How does sonar work? Choose the right order.
a. The sound waves reflect off surfaces.
b. The person makes a clicking sound.
c. The brain makes images with the sounds.
d. The sound waves reach the person's ears.
A. b-a-c-d B. b-d-a-c C. a-b-d-c D. b-a-d-c
74. What can we know about Kish from the passage?
A. He always challenges himself bravely.
B. He lives in fear of things that he imagines.
C. He became blind when he was 14 years old.
D. He broke his bone when climbing as a child.
75. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. How Sonar Works. B. Riding a Bike Using Sonar.
C. Seeing with the Mind. D. How the Blind Move Around.
（B）请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整，并在答题卡上将其序号涂黑。（每小题2分）
Experts in nutrition (营养) suggest that we should eat at least five different kinds of vegetables and fruit a day. They are very necessary for our health and help our bodies work well. They can help reduce (减少) the risk of getting ill. There are a lot of vegetables and fruit to choose from and they taste delicious. 76
It's easy to buy our food from the local supermarket, so why do we go to the trouble of growing our own? Here are several good reasons:
77 You can pick and eat it at once. When you have tried it, you will agree that vegetables and fruit that are eaten straight from the garden taste better than anything you can buy in a supermarket.
You may want to cut down on your “food miles” — the distance that a product has travelled before it reaches your kitchen. Many food packages are flown halfway across the earth. 78
Homegrown food is likely to be healthier. Food producers often use fertilizers (化肥) and pesticides (农药) which can end up in your food. If you grow your own, things are different. 79 You might also choose to grow some traditional vegetables and fruit. These often have more of the vitamins, minerals (矿物质) and protein (蛋白质) that keep you healthy.
80 And you can grow your own even if you only have a small backyard or a balcony (阳台). Some food can grow well in pots, including lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes and carrots. You can recycle plastic bottles and cups to grow something. Just make sure there are holes for drainage (排水) and a small plate under them to catch drops of water.
Happy gardening!
A. Best of all, you can grow your own!.
B. But where to grow your own is a problem.
C. That's not so good for you, or for the planet.
D. Food that you grow yourself is always fresh.
E. If you have a large garden, growing your own is easy.
F. You can control what goes on and into the food you eat.
G. So it's better to eat more vegetables and fruit in our daily life.
