He has the freedom to create and develop his own projects during his term and will receive a $4,000 annual bonus.Burnems' love of poetry began at an early age when he was struggling against depression. His English teacher recommended him to read poetry, which later brought him a peaceful mental state and helped him recover from depression. He soon decided that poetry was something he would run after for his lifetime. “People gravitate__to poetry because they can find themselves in the poems,” he says. “It allows readers to feel the emotional part of their experiences.”He says poetry is a great platform to discuss mental health, depression and the emotional stress that come with daily life. Relieving those stress is central to some of the work he does with young people. Last year, Burnems started a youth poetry producing competition for local high school students.Burnems says he loves and supports different types of art, and his next move is to explore poetry through cooperation across media. Richmond's paintings on the wall are a good example.

It is estimated that medical waste, including masks which take 450 years to decompose (分解) in nature, has increased by 60 percent during the pandemic. A survey by Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) Research Centre found that masks and other healthcare garbage made up 16 percent of the total floating in the Cilincing and Marunda river in Jakarta Bay in March and April last year. Finding ways to change this is top of mind for some researchers.The team at LIPI is experimenting with the disposable masks containing polypropylene (聚丙烯), a type of plastic that is tough but stretchable, which makes good raw material to produce various plastic products. At RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, researchers are making a mix of mask pellets (團(tuán)粒), which help to add hardness and strength, and process building rubble (碎石) designed to be used for the base layer of roads and pavements. One kilometer of a two-lane road will use around 3 million masks, preventing 93 tons of waste from going to landfill.For the broader demand in mask recycling, TerraCycle, a waste management and recycling company, offers a Zero Waste Box that works like a recycling bin for used safety and protective equipment. Waste from hospitals and medical centres is not included. The box comes with prepaid return labels. Once full, it can be sent back to the company. All Zero Waste Boxes are quarantined (隔離) on arrival for a minimum of 72 hours to protect the workers handling the waste, separating the collected waste into fibers and plastics mechanically or manually. At last they will be transported to the company's various third-party partners to manufacture a variety of new products including outdoor furniture, watering cans and storage containers, etc.“Adopting the new recycling methods on a large scale would require a steady supply of waste masks in order to keep the machine running,” an official from the Association of Plastic Recyclers said, “but this never means those innovations are white elephants.”8.What do the statistics in Paragraph 1 suggest?A.Seriousness of the pandemic.B.The sufficient supply of protective equipment.C.Environmental pressure brought by the pandemic.D.The great effects of overusing medical resources.9.How can the masks be recycled according to the text?A.By experimenting with them in the research. B.By using chemicals to decompose them.C.By changing them into building materials.D.By burying them in landfill properly.10.Why does TerraCycle offer Zero Waste Boxes?A.To stop the virus from spreading directly.B.To protect the workers against the virus.C.To help the hospital with its waste problem. D.To collect household waste masks efficiently.11.What will be further talked about after the last paragraph?A.Advocating the less use of masks.B.Guarantees about constant waste mask supply.C.New advances in preventing the pandemic.D.Concerns about the management of the waste.D[2022·安徽省名校聯(lián)盟高三第一次質(zhì)量檢測(cè)]There are many ways we can enjoy sport—watching it on TV or a smartphone, attending an event at a stadium or even playing the game. But for those who enjoy getting competitive with their computer gaming, there are realistic-looking games to be played without leaving home. And people's interest in this type of sport—if that's what we can call it—has gone to a new level.Initially, grabbing a controller and playing a game was an individual activity. But around 20 years ago computers became cheaper and the Internet became faster, which made it much easier for more people to get involved with computer gaming. This led to gamers connecting with each other around the world, so they could go head-to-head online. It also became a spectator sport, with people watching others play. The whole experience has been given the name “esports”—Electronic Sports.Now, huge esports tournaments take place all over the world in big arenas (競(jìng)技場(chǎng)) with large crowds. Diehard enthusiasts, who have become first-rate players, are now well-known—some play together in teams. Its top stars can earn millions of dollars a year, without even breaking into a sweat! And fans from around the world tune in to watch the action online. The global audience is now estimated at more than 200 million and growing. Annual profits from esports, currently around 650 million dollars for events, continue to rise with billions more through the video games sales.Famous football clubs are now trying to get in on the act. England's Football Association, for example, launched its first esports team this year, known as the eLions. It recruited (吸收) FIFA 19 players to represent them at the FIFA eNations Cup. Mark Bullingham, the FA's Chief Executive Officer, said “The FA prides itself on being a modern, innovative organization that tries to engage and inspire all generations of football fans.”But while this virtual version of football might give footballers a chance to get closer to the real game, some might argue the lack of physical activity means it shouldn't be called a sport—and that the biggest winners are the companies who promote and sell esports.12.What contributed most to the popularity of esports?A.The support from the public.B.Cheaper computers and faster Internet.C.The advanced sports equipment.D.People's preference for individual activities.13.What can we infer about esports from Paragraph 3?A.It has become a big industry.B.It makes players get rich easily.C.It will replace traditional sports.D.It has a great impact on other sports.14.Why does the author mention the FA in Paragraph 4?A.To explain why it has become interested in esports.B.To tell readers it is taking the lead in hosting esports.C.To show famous football clubs are getting involved in esports.D.To state the officers are proud of its achievements in esports.15.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.The Rise of EsportsB.The Advantages of EsportsC.Esports Teams: Famous for Star PlayersD.Esports Tournaments: Exciting and Fantastic Events第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)閱讀下面短文,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。[2022·濟(jì)南市3月模擬] Your preschooler is painting with fingers.

When children experiment with materials, they dive in science.Most important perhaps, when kids feel good while they are creating, art helps boost self-confidence.__4__ Set up an art space where your kid can be free to experiment. Throw a drop cloth or a newspaper on top of your kitchen table or in the garage.If weather permits, let kids paint outside. Avoid giving directions.
