Eric Carle, the author and artist behind The Very Hungry Caterpillar and dozens of other children’s books, has passed away at the age of 91. Mr. Carle’s lively, creative and colorful works were loved by children around the world.
Mr. Carle was the author or illustrator of over 70 books for children, including The Grouchy Ladybug, The Mixed-Up Chameleon and Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me. The Very Hungry Caterpillar was Mr. Carle’s best-known book. It was published in 1969. Since then, over 55 million copies of the book have been sold, and it has been translated into more than 70 different languages.
Mr. Carle was born in Syracuse New York in 1929. His parents were German. As he was growing up, Mr. Carle spent a lot of time with his father, who would take him out walking in nature. His father would show him small creatures, explaining their life cycles and filling the young boy’s head with wonder.
Mr. Carle thinks this helps explain why so many of his books are about nature. Many are about bugs like crickets, fireflies, ladybugs and butterflies. Others are about animals, like foxes, squirrels, kangaroos and bears.
In 1952, Mr. Carle got a job as an artist at the New York Times. Author Bill Martin, Jr. asked Mr. Carle to illustrate his book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See , which is Mr. Carle’s first try. The book came out in 1967 and was a big hit. After that, he created many children’s books that were very popular with his children.
Most of Mr. Carle’s books are meant for younger readers. He said that he wanted to help make school a fun and welcoming place. “I believe that children are naturally creative and eager to learn,” he said. “I want to show them that learning is really both fascinating and fun.”
Mr. Carle will be missed, and his creative art and sweet, funny stories will continue to bring joy to very eager readers all around the world.

The past two years have been hard—many are still unable to travel around with restrictions still in place. Yet it has not stopped Zheng Zheng from discovering different coffee shops on a daily basis.
She is not one of those Internet influencers who check out different fancy cafes to make an income. Like millions who are taking on works-from-home positions, the project manager of an Internet company sees it as a way to escape her small apartment and remain productive.
“As long as there’s Wi-Fi, I can literally work anywhere,” Zheng told CGTN.
Many Silicon Valley executives have been rooting for the rise of remote working (远程办公) since 2020. Last May, Twitter announced its work-from-home plans, calling the flexibility “the fourth industrial revolution”.
Zheng said, “Remote working gives me great flexibility. I could better assign my time, rather than wasting it on things like washing up or taking the subway to the office.”
“Another thing probably is that you can have different sources of income,” the part-time designer and stylist added.
“But still, I believe remote working will never completely replace the traditional means of working,” she said after sharing all the advantages.
One disadvantage she pointed out is missing out on social interactions with your colleagues, and another is the extended working hours.
In a University of Chicago study, employees were found to work longer hours at home for the same task, as focused time was broken up by some distractions like childcare and online meetings.
Robin Dunbar, a professor of the University of Oxford, told CGTN that he believes remote working is overhyped (过度夸大) and certainly won’t last long. “Without face-to-face engagement and those casual meetings, the ‘flow’ that makes things work fast will be missing. Work groups quickly lose focus, and the sense of belonging is lost very quickly, ” he said.
28. Why does Zheng Zheng explore different coffee shops every day
A. To relax herself from working state.
B. To find out the most delicious coffee.
C. To look for a better work place for herself.
D. To check out different fancy cafes to make money.
29. What advantage does Zheng Zheng value more about remote working
A. Low cost. B. The flexibility.
C. Mental well-being. D. The sense of belonging.
30. What does the underlined word “extended” in paragraph 8 mean
A. Irregular. B. Continuous.
C. Longer than usual. D. Shorter than expected.
31. What is the attitude of Robin Dunbar to the future of remote working
A. Appreciative. B. Uncaring.
C. Optimistic. D. Doubtful.
D
Students at an elementary school in California, with the help of their art teacher, created a telephone hotline that people can call to get cheerful advice from kids during difficult times. In just days, the hotline began getting thousands of calls an hour.
Most people agree that with concerns like COVID-19, extreme weather, and the climate crisis, the last couple of years have been stressful.
Jessica Martin, who teaches art at West Side School in Healdsburg, California, thought her students just might have the magic words to bring calm to people in these difficult times. So Ms. Martin, along with artist Asherah Weiss, worked with students on a project they called “PepToc”.
The project had two parts-one was the hotline, and the other was creating encouraging posters. The two adults worked with students from kindergarten to sixth grade. They had the same basic question for all the students, “What could you say to help or encourage someone else “Students working on the hotline thought of what they would like to say. When they were ready, Ms. Martin recorded each one. Later, she sorted out the recordings into the different parts of the telephone hotline.
Pressing 1 brings up ideas for people who are “feeling mad, frustrated or nervous”. Helpful suggestions include “punch your pillow” or “go get a cookie”. Pressing 2 results in “words of encouragement and life advice”. By pressing 3, you can hear a group of kindergartners saying together: “You can do it! Keep trying, don’t give up!” Pressing 4 starts the sounds of children giggling and laughing-a sound certain to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
Ms. Martin thought the project would only attract interest from people near the school. But the hotline was soon getting hundreds of calls a day. Words of the hotline spread quickly on social media. The hotline has become incredibly popular with stressed adults, patients in hospitals, older people in homes, and others who just want to hear the happy voices of children.
32. Who came up with the idea of the project
A Parents of West Side School.
B. Jessica Martin and Asherah Weiss.
C. A student of West Side School.
D. The government of Healdsburg.
33. Which number should a caller press if he feels nervous
A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4.
34. What was unexpected for Ms. Martin
A. The magic of the children.
B. The sadness of the people.
C. The popularity of the hotline.
D. The influence of the social media.
35. What could be the best title for the text
A. The Charm of Art Is Beyond Words
B. A Project Is Carried Out to Study COVID-19
C. A Hotline Brings Stressful People Hope
D. Positive Messages From Kids Make a Hotline a Hit

In 1891, she left Poland and entered the University of Paris. Four years later, she graduated with the highest grade in her class. Then, she remained in the same university doing scientific research work. In order to discover something that gave off a kind of radiation, she did some experiments carefully again and again. Finally in 1902 she and her husband succeeded in finding the radioactive element—radium. Their achievement won them the Nobel Prize for physics in 1903.
In 1911, she won another Nobel Prize, all by herself in chemistry. Thus she became the first female scientist to win two Nobel Prizes.

Eric Carle, the author and artist behind The Very Hungry Caterpillar and dozens of other children’s books, has passed away at the age of 91. Mr. Carle’s lively, creative and colorful works were loved by children around the world.
Mr. Carle was the author or illustrator of over 70 books for children, including The Grouchy Ladybug, The Mixed-Up Chameleon and Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me. The Very Hungry Caterpillar was Mr. Carle’s best-known book. It was published in 1969. Since then, over 55 million copies of the book have been sold, and it has been translated into more than 70 different languages.
Mr. Carle was born in Syracuse, New York in 1929. His parents were German. As he was growing up, Mr. Carle spent a lot of time with his father, who would take him out walking in nature. His father would show him small creatures, explaining their life cycles and filling the young boy’s head with wonder.
Mr. Carle thinks this helps explain why so many of his books are about nature. Many are about bugs like crickets, fireflies, ladybugs and butterflies. Others are about animals, like foxes, squirrels, kangaroos and bears.

Author Bill Martin, Jr. asked Mr. Carle to illustrate his book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See , which is Mr. Carle’s first try. The book came out in 1967 and was a big hit. After that, he created many children’s books that were very popular with his children.
Most of Mr. Carle’s books are meant for younger readers. He said that he wanted to help make school a fun and welcoming place. “I believe that children are naturally creative and eager to learn,” he said. “I want to show them that learning is really both fascinating and fun.”

The past two years have been hard—many are still unable to travel around with restrictions still in place. Yet it has not stopped Zheng Zheng from discovering different coffee shops on a daily basis.
She is not one of those Internet influencers who check out different fancy cafes to make an income. Like millions who are taking on works-from-home positions, the project manager of an Internet company sees it as a way to escape her small apartment and remain productive.
“As long as there’s Wi-Fi, I can literally work anywhere,” Zheng told CGTN.
Many Silicon Valley executives have been rooting for the rise of remote working (远程办公) since 2020. Last May, Twitter announced its work-from-home plans, calling the flexibility “the fourth industrial revolution”.
Zheng said, “Remote working gives me great flexibility. I could better assign my time, rather than wasting it on things like washing up or taking the subway to the office.”
“Another thing probably is that you can have different sources of income,” the part-time designer and stylist added.
“But still, I believe remote working will never completely replace the traditional means of working,” she said after sharing all the advantages.
One disadvantage she pointed out is missing out on social interactions with your colleagues, and another is the extended working hours.
In a University of Chicago study, employees were found to work longer hours at home for the same task, as focused time was broken up by some distractions like childcare and online meetings.
Robin Dunbar, a professor of the University of Oxford, told CGTN that he believes remote working is overhyped (过度夸大) and certainly won’t last long. “Without face-to-face engagement and those casual meetings, the ‘flow’ that makes things work fast will be missing. Work groups quickly lose focus, and the sense of belonging is lost very quickly, ” he said.
28. Why does Zheng Zheng explore different coffee shops every day
A. To relax herself from working state.
B. To find out the most delicious coffee.
C. To look for a better work place for herself.
D. To check out different fancy cafes to make money.
29. What advantage does Zheng Zheng value more about remote working
A. Low cost. B. The flexibility.
C. Mental well-being. D. The sense of belonging.
30. What does the underlined word “extended” in paragraph 8 mean
A. Irregular. B. Continuous.
C. Longer than usual. D. Shorter than expected.
31. What is the attitude of Robin Dunbar to the future of remote working
A. Appreciative. B. Uncaring.
C. Optimistic. D. Doubtful.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。讲述了近两年很难，很多人因为限制不能随意走动，远程办公的工作模式逐渐兴起，但职员Zheng Zheng依旧每天游走于不同的咖啡店铺去放松自己。她认为远程办公有利有弊，但牛津大学教授Robin Dunbar对其办公模式的未来呈怀疑态度。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Like millions who are taking on work-from-home positions, the project manager of an Internet company sees it as a way to escape her small apartment and remain productive. (和数百万在家工作的人一样，一家互联网公司的项目经理认为这是一种逃离小公寓、保持工作效率的方式)”可知，Zheng Zheng 每天游走于不同的咖啡店铺是一种在居家办公的间歇放松并保持工作高效的方法。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Remote working gives me great flexibility. (远程办公带给我很大的灵活性)”可知，远程办公的灵活性是Zheng Zheng 比较看重的优势。故选B。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的语境及下文的“In a University of Chicago study, employees were found to work longer hours at home for the same task, as focused time was broken up by some distractions like childcare and online meetings. (芝加哥大学的一项研究发现，员工在家中为同一项任务工作的时间更长，因为照看孩子和在线会议等分心的事情打乱了专注的时间)”可推断，画线词意为“延长了的”。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Robin Dunbar, a professor of the University of Oxford, told CGTN that he believes remote working is overhyped (过度夸大) and certainly won’t last long. (牛津大学Robin Dunbar教授在接受中国国际电视台采访时表示，他认为远程办公被过度炒作了，而且肯定不会持续太久)”可推断，Robin Dunbar教授认为远程办公被人为夸大了，不会持续太久，故他对于这般办公的未来持怀疑态度。A. Appreciative欣赏的；B. Uncaring不关注的；C. Optimistic乐观的；D. Doubtful怀疑的。故选D。

Students at an elementary school in California, with the help of their art teacher, created a telephone hotline that people can call to get cheerful advice from kids during difficult times. In just days, the hotline began getting thousands of calls an hour.
Most people agree that with concerns like COVID-19, extreme weather, and the climate crisis, the last couple of years have been stressful.
Jessica Martin, who teaches art at West Side School in Healdsburg, California, thought her students just might have the magic words to bring calm to people in these difficult times. So Ms. Martin, along with artist Asherah Weiss, worked with students on a project they called “PepToc”.
The project had two parts-one was the hotline, and the other was creating encouraging posters. The two adults worked with students from kindergarten to sixth grade. They had the same basic question for all the students, “What could you say to help or encourage someone else “Students working on the hotline thought of what they would like to say. When they were ready, Ms. Martin recorded each one. Later, she sorted out the recordings into the different parts of the telephone hotline.
Pressing 1 brings up ideas for people who are “feeling mad, frustrated or nervous”. Helpful suggestions include “punch your pillow” or “go get a cookie”. Pressing 2 results in “words of encouragement and life advice”. By pressing 3, you can hear a group of kindergartners saying together: “You can do it! Keep trying, don’t give up!” Pressing 4 starts the sounds of children giggling and laughing-a sound certain to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
Ms. Martin thought the project would only attract interest from people near the school. But the hotline was soon getting hundreds of calls a day. Words of the hotline spread quickly on social media. The hotline has become incredibly popular with stressed adults, patients in hospitals, older people in homes, and others who just want to hear the happy voices of children.

34. What was unexpected for Ms. Martin
A. The magic of the children.

C. The popularity of the hotline.
D. The influence of the social media.
