We run our programme in a shelter for homeless children.We have now been successfully carrying out the programme since June 2018. In this time, our children have gone from barely knowing how to use a computer, to writing the code for basic websites totally from scratch. We want to carry on developing the programme in 2020 by continuing appropriate tech education of 2() children, and to engage a further 40 children.Former street youth are often forced into exploitative work.Young people living in shelter often end up back on the street as soon as they leave state care. They become trapped in a cycle of poverty, as they dont have marketable skills to secure well-paid work. Often the only work opportunities available to them are hard manual labour.Why is the tech sector a window of opportunity?Tech education provides young people with marketable skills in a sector where there is a growing demand and shortage of supply in the Middle East. It also gives them access to an international online job market.Where Your Money Will Go Help us give former street youth in Lebanon an alternative to exploitative work through tech education.

In my family, it was just another step toward the American dream. As soon as I graduated, I enrolled （入学）in the English Department of Colorado State University. I went on to earn two scholarships, and membership in the National Honor Society. I truly believed the hard work was worth it.It wasnt until a few months ago that I realized how clueless I was. I had been combing through the classifieds when my eyes fell upon my dream job. t（ National College Magazine looking for writers .”Thrilled, I spent the weekend composing a resume . Needless to say, I was stunned when the interviewer barely took one glance before throwing it aside.No experience, he said flatly.I felt like screaming, What do you mean, no experience? Look at these gradesI was left to absorb the shock of rejection, thinking that nobody ever told me that a 4. 0 student would be turned down for a job.Didnt all of my hard work count for anything?I see plenty of demands for two years of experience at a print publication, but none requiring extensive knowledge of how to write academic papers. Yet 95% of my energy in school went toward the latter, leaving me little time to devote to anything else. If career preparation is supposed to be the point of college, then why isnt it the focus?Has a college degree just become another societal status symbol like fancy cars or designer clothes?Given my experience, I feel that a college degree would be a lot more valuable if students were required to get some outside experience to supplement their in class knowledge. Instead of requiring four science classes, why not three science classes and an internship? In my college career, I took one class that taught me how to write and submit essays for publication. This ever so brief taste of the real world was like holding an ice cream sundae in front of a child and only giving her a small bite.24. Why did the author study so hard at college?A.To maintain a family tradition.B. To land an ideal job.C.To fulfill parents expectations.D. To win scholarships for the tution25 . What accounted for the authors failure in job hunting?A. His dull resume.B. His misjudgment in high scores.C. His lack of experience.D. His poor performance in the interview.26. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph imply?A.Academic writing is a small part of college life.B.College education always covers unimportant things.C.Competition in college is not as fierce as that in the real world.D. The author feels held back by his lack of real world experience.27. What does the author want to tell us by writing this article?A.Get a college degree and you will go far.B.College students should make the best of their time.C.Career preparation is a necessity for college education.D. Landing a successful career is better than a college degree.CThey asked Katherine Johnson for the moon, and she gave it to them. With little more than a pencil, a slide rule and one of the finest mathematical minds in the country, Mrs. Johnson, who died at 101 on Monday, calculated the precise trajectories （轨道）that would let Apollo 11 land on the moon in 1969 and, after Neil Armstrongs historymaking moonwalk, let it return to Earth.Yet throughout Mrs. Johnsons 33 years in NASA and for decades afterward, almost no one knew her name.Mrs. Johnson was one of several hundred strictly educated, supremely capable yet largely unrecognized women who, well before the modem feminist movement, worked as NASA mathematicians. But it was not only her sex that kept her long unsung. For some years at midcentury, the black women were subjected to a double segregation （隔离）：They were kept separate from the much large group of white women who in turn were segregated from the agencys male mathematicians and engineers.Mrs. Johnson broke barriers at NASA In old age, Mrs. Johnson became the most celebrated of black women who served as mathematicians for the space agency. Their story was told in the 2016 Hollywood film Hidden Figures, which was nominated for three Oscars, including best picture.In 2017, NASA dedicated a building in her honor. That year, The Washington Post described her as the most high - profile of the computers computers ” being the term originally used to describe Mrs. Johnson and her colleagues, much as “typewriters” were used in the 19th century to represent professional typists.She helped our nation enlarge the frontiers of space, NASAs administrator, Jim Bridenstine, said in a statement on Monday, even as she made huge steps that also opened doors for women and people of color in the universal human quest to explore space.As Mrs. Johnson herself was fond of saying, her tenure （任期）at Langley from 1953 until her retirement in 1986 was “a time when computers wore skirts.28.What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To present the Apollo moon mission.B. To stress Mrs. Johnsons contributionsC. To honour Neil Armstrongs moonwalk.D To mourn a great womanMrs. Johnson.29.What does the underlined word barriers” in Paragraph 4 refer to ?A.Gender inequality and color line.B.Mrs. Johnsons unrecognized talents.C.The agencys male mathematicians and engineers.D. The hardships before the modem feminist movement.30.Why were Mrs. Johnson and her colleagues described as computers?A. Because they used computers to keep their work secret.B. Because they were the agencys human calculatorsC. Because computer systems engaged them deeply.D.Because they opened a door to outer space.31.What can we learn from Mrs. Johnsons experience?A.Try things that may not work.B.The world awaits our discovery.C Use knowledge to wipe out ignorance D. Never be limited by the labels attached by others.DAlthough it has been indicated in recent years that plants are capable of seeing, hearing and smelling, they are still usually thought of as silent. But now, for the first time, Itzhak Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University in Israel found that tomato and tobacco plants made ultrasonic （超声的）sounds at frequencies humans cant hear when stressed by a lack of water or when their stem is cut.Microphones placed 10 centimeters from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100 kilohertz. Human hearing usually ranges from 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz. These findings can alter the way we think about the plant kingdom , they wrote in their study, which has not yet been published.On average, drought - stressed tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while tobacco plants made 11. When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15. Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour. It is even possible to distinguish between the sounds to know what the stress is. The researchers trained a machine learning model to separate the plants，sounds from those of the wind, rain and other noises of the greenhouse, correctly identifying in most cases whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut, based on the sounds intensity and frequency. Water hungry tobacco appeared to make louder sounds than cut tobacco, for example. Although Khait and his colleagues only looked at tomato and tobacco plants, they believe other plants may make sounds when stressed.Enabling farmers to listen for water stressed plants could open a new direction in the field of precision(（精准）agriculture, the researchers suggest. They add that such an ability will be increasingly important as climate change exposes more areas to drought.Khaits study also suggests that insects and some mammals can hear and respond to from as far as 5 metres away. A moth may decide against laying eggs on a plant that sounds water - stressed. Edward Farmer at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland thinks the idea that moths might be listening to plants is “a little too speculative”. After all, there are already plenty of explanations for why insects avoid some plants and not others.32.What were tomato and tobacco plants reactions to different stresses?A. They reacted to different types of stress with the same sound.B. Cut tomato plants produced more sounds per hour than water hungry ones .C.Cut tobacco plants seemed to make lower sounds than drought - stressed ones.D.Tobacco plants might make louder sounds than tomato plants when short of water.33.Whats the main idea of Paragraph 4?A.The potential applications of the research.B.Challenges facing farmers in the future.C. Farmers contributions to the research.D. The future development of agriculture.34.What does the underlined word speculative in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Practical.B. Surprising.C. Unsupported.D. Complicated.35.What may be the best tide for the text?A. Silent screamB. Mysteries of natureC. Inner voicesD. A yet - to-be - published study第二节 （共5小题;每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。I was packing my suitcase for a trip. By the time I got to the hall closet, I couldnt remember what I came for. 36 However, as a neuroscientist, I know the problem is not what it seems.37 But age is not the major factor so commonly assumed. The 20 - year - old often make short term memory errors as well. They walk into the wrong classroom. They forget what the professor said two minutes ago. On the other hand, some aspects of memory actually get better as we age. For instance, our ability to extract patterns, regularities （规律）and to make accurate predictions improves over time. 38 If you re going to get an X - ray, you want a 70 year old radiologist reading it, not a 30 - year - old one.So how do we account for our experience that older adults seem to have difficulty with words and names? 39 As long as given a little more time, older adults perform just fine. Second, older adults have to search through more memories than do younger adults to find the fact or piece of information theyre looking for. Your brain becomes crowded with memories and information. Its not that you cant remember. Actually, you can! 40So, my advice is experiencing new things. It is the best way to keep the mind young and growing into our 80s, 90s and beyond.A. Thats because weve had more experience.B. First, there is a widespread cognitive （认知的）slowing with age.C.This is widely understood to be a classic problem of aging.D.First of all, senior citizens have better long - term memories.E.Its just that there is so much more information to sort through.F.Besides, I forget names that I used to be able to think of effortlessly.G.Researches show that our ability of the short term memory declines slightly after 30.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题海小题2分，满分40分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出可以填入空白处 的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。I spent one Sunday afternoon helping my friend put together the ice hockey net he d just bought for his kids. It 41 me of my childhood when my friends and I played our games with do - it - yourself 42 , which helped us to be 43 and taught us leadership and teamwork.Each goal of our game was 44 by two boots spaced as equally apart as we could manage. The trouble was that they often went 45 when the puck （冰球）hit them hard enough. The 46 had to chase a boot that had moved, and reset it quickly, or risk someone taking 47 and scoring a goal. And we also had to 48 our eyes peeled for the occasional 49 goalkeeper who might move the boots closer together.This situation led to 50 over what might or might not have been a goal, but we improved our debating skills and learned to 51 to kids who wanted to dominate （控制）everyone else.52 , the number of competitors would 53 out as moms called them home for supper.We had to trade the players and reset the team to keep the teams 54 We joined our new team no questions asked, just taking the position on the ice the captain 55 us to. With fewer players on the ice, there was more 56 to freewheel. We learned to 57 the adjustments well, turning enemies into friends and learning to work as a（n） 58 team. This was another valuable lesson .Sometimes we are asked to 59 specific and measurable goals. But I raise a stick to 60 goals, to playing
