before bedtime.Mymother is an immigrant.She told me those stories so that I wouldnt forget the culture that shehad left.Even though I hadnt ever experienced that culture at firsthand,she wanted me toremember it.Of all her stories,my favourites were about Sun Wukong,the monkey king who had manysuperpowers.Eventually,though,I moved on to other kinds of heroes.When I was in the fifthgrade,I bought my first American comic book.Afterwards,Superman,Spider-man and CaptainAmerica replaced Sun Wukong in my heart.I became crazy about comic books.I loved them so much that I went on to work towards acareer in comics.Today I am a professional graphic novelist.My most well-known book isAmerican Born Chinese,published in 2006.Monkey King is one of my main characters,butthe book isnt direct adaptation of my mothers stories.Instead,I invited Monkey King into mystory so that I could talk about the uneasiness of growing up as an Asian American.Thecharacter I knew from my childhood expressed his emotions without reservation.I needed himto emote on my pages.For research,I tracked down an English translation of Journey to the West,thecenturies-old Chinese classic that first told the monkey kings story.As I read it,I realized thatAmerican superheroes hadnt replaced Sun Wukong in my heart after all-they were simplyWestern expressions of everything I loved about the monkey king.The monkey kings story haslasted for centuries and travelled across continents and cultures.Journey to the West is the verydefinition of“timeless”.My mother now has Alzheimers.Shes forgotten all of the stories she used to tell me,butI remember.In many ways,Ive built my whole career on those moments before bedtime.Withevery comic book I create,I am trying to relive the wonder I felt when my mother told me

memory of his childhood experience.DThe influence of the stories of Sun Wukong on the author.CLatin Americas first renewable fuel-powered,garbage-trapping wheel is cleaning one ofPanamas dirtiest rivers.It is powered by water and solar energy.It pulls waste out of the JuanDiaz River.Most of the waste comes from the capital area of Panama City where about 2million people live.Thousands of kilograms of garbage flow down the river into the ocean eachyear.As the leader of the project,Robert Getman said,“Cleaning beaches is good,but it is moreeffective and cheaper to trap garbage in rivers because when it reaches the ocean,theenvironmental and economic cost becomes too high.”The Juan Diaz River is one of the most polluted in Panama.Waste systems in the area arepoor,and land development is not well supervised(监 督).The river also passes throughPanama City,one of Central Americas largest cities.Still,the waterway and its mangrove treesare home to wildlife like turtles and birds.According to this situation,the environmental groupMarea Verde launched the wheel in late September,which is named Wanda Diaz.By themiddle of October,it had gathered 28.6 cubic meters of plastic bottles from the water.Overfive years,Marea Verde projects have slowed the spread of waste along the Juan Diaz Riverand other Panamas rivers.Several years ago,the group launched its“Barrier or Trash”technology,a floating device.It captured more than 100 metric tons of waste in the MatiasHernandez River within two years.The Baltimore Bay“Trashwheel”in the United States is the model for Marea Verdesmachine,Wanda Diaz.However,Wanda Diaz is more advanced and superior in terms oftechnology,and it even has cameras with artificial intelligence(AI)that can recognize and sortdifferent plastics.“We want each of us to raise awareness that we can prevent the death of the Juan DiazRiver,”said Marea Verdes leader Sandy Watemberg.She expressed her hope that the wheelwould also help many more other rivers.But she also pointed out that those who accustomedthemselves to single-use plastics needed to rethink their behavior.()28Which words best describe the garbage-trapping wheel?AGreen and practical.BEffective but costly.CPowerful but energy-wasting.DRenewable and simple.()29What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?AGreat damage to Panama City.BThe importance of the Juan Diaz River.CMeasures taken to battle wildlife killing.DThe background information of Marea Verde projects.()30What can we learn about Wanda Diaz?AIt hasAl to break down plastics.BIt is the model for“Trashwheel”.CIt hasAI cameras to remove plastics.DIt is an updated version of“Trashwheel”.()31What message does Sandy Watemberg seem to convey?APeople should not use plastics anymore.BThe death of the river is unpreventable.CHumansliving habits matter in river protection.DRiver protection has received the attention of all.DIf a president and a philosopher owed their success to the same secret,would you try tofollow it too?What if the secret was something you already knew how to do?In fact,youprobably do it every day.Heres what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote:“It is only ideas gained fromwalking that have any worth”.Thomas Jefferson:“Walking is the best possible exercise.Accustom yourself to walking very far.”Are you still sitting there reading this?Get walking!It is not just the two great minds whomade a case for it as a main creativity booster（推动）.Researchers have traced numerousconnections between walking and novel ideas.A Standford University study found thatparticipants were 81%more creative when walking as opposed to sitting.According to thestudy,walking outsideversus on a treadmill（跑步机）produces the most novel andhighest-quality ideas in participants who walked and then sat down to do creative work.The movement aspect of walking is obviously key.Youve probably heard the phrase“exercise your creativity”,which refers to the brain as muscle.Our creative thinking istriggered by physical movement,which is exactly why walkingwith your dog,a friend oralonefeeds creative thinking.But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat.Asurvey reveals that Americans spend87%of their time indoors.Being inside,youre more likely to have less energy.Without energy,you cant wonder or create.Interrupting your routine with a walk can be a catalyst（催化剂）forgaining fresh insights into problems or projects.Just by going outside，you are stepping out ofyour comfort zone which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities.Youcan walk through a tree-filled neighborhood or a park and observe people wandering or birdssinging.So instead of setting a fitness goal,why not set a creative goal that starts with walking?Engage more closely with your surroundings.Walk just for exercise.Walk for wonder.()32Why are the two great minds mentioned in Paragraph 1?ATo suggest the way to exerciseBTo show the benefits of walking.CTo give the definition of successDTo stress the importance of creativity()33What does the underlined word“triggered”in Paragraph 3 mean?AMotivated.BBlocked.CControlled.DChanged.()34Why is the scenery important according to the text?AAmericans spend most of their time enjoying it.BOne cant wonder or create without it.CIt can build a comfort zone for people.DIt will expose people to new chances.()35Whats the best title for the text?AScenery inspires new ideas.BYour creativity lies in sweat.CExercise feeds creative thinking.DYour brain is made for walking.第第二二节节(共共 5 5 小小题题：每每小小题题 2 2 分分，满满分分 1 10 0 分分)Yoga has a
