2．After university in 2011，Samuel went to a rural primary school for native children，where，on his first day，another teacher told him，"Samuel，you don't have to do much，they're just Orang Asli-native children." This was what Samuel would spend years fighting against.
The Orang Asli community has struggled with poverty，melting into society，and losing their own identity and culture due to others' disregard of it.The main barrier in teaching these children was that many of the teachers thought that the native children were not worth their efforts.It was thought that whatever was taught would make no difference，so nobody bothered to try.The children themselves ended up believing these stigmas （污名），often doubting what they can achieve.Teachers skipped or slept in classes，and little effort was made to create an appropriate learning environment.Consequently，the school was one of the worst-performing in the district.
Samuel cared about his native students and accepted their culture，leading him to see their potential.However，he also came to see that they did not have equal opportunities compared to urban schools，due to the lack of facilities.So he set up a crowdfunding project to create a fully equipped 21st-century English classroom with tablets and computers.The Orang Asli children now learn technology，experience English and communicate in English with volunteers all over Malaysia and overseas.
Consequently，the students have improved in national standardized examinations，from a pass rate of 30% in English（2008-2012）to an average of 80%（2013-2017）.These efforts have resulted in a shift of what local children are considered capable of academically.
（1）What did the teacher's words suggest about the native children？
A．They were intelligent.
B．They were hopeless.
C．They were unfriendly.
D．They were independent.
（2）What major problem did Samuel need to solve？
A．The poverty of local people.
B．The lack of facilities in his school.
C．The unfair treatment of the native kids.
D．The unsuitable teaching methods.
（3）What is paragraph 3 mainly about？
A．The change of native students.
B．The importance of learning English.
C．The improvement of native education.
D．Samuel's work for the native kids.
（4）What can we learn from Samuel's story？
A．Respect makes a big difference.
B．The academic performance comes first
C．Everyone deserves access to education.
D．One method can't apply to each situation.組卷：1引用：2難度：0.5 -
3．The idea of using a public bathroom with see-through walls may sound like a nightmare.But a famous Japanese architect is hoping to change that view，using new technology to make restrooms in Tokyo parks more appealing.
"There are two things we worry about when entering a public restroom，especially those located at a park，" according to architect Shigeru Ban's firm. "The first is cleanliness，and the second is whether anyone is inside. "
The newly-invented transparent walls can turn off both of those worries，Ban says，by showing people what waits for them inside.After users enter the restroom and lock the door，the room's walls turn a powdery pastel（彩色蠟筆的，柔和的）shade—and are no longer see-through.
Ean's transparent facilities are sure to make for great conversation among visitors to the park—and they'll stand out even more after dark. "At night，the facility lights up the park like a beautiful lantern，" the architect's website says.
The group is behind the Tokyo Toilet project，enlisting（招募）world-famous architects to create toilets "like you've never seen." The project's eye-catching toilets are part of a plan to put people at ease when visiting a public bathroom.The project may seem silly，but the 16 architects who are reimagining public toilets are some of the brightest names in Japanese architecture.The list includes four Pritzker Prize winners—Ban，Toyo Ito，Tadao Ando and Fumihiko Maki一along with international stars such as Kengo Kuma and Sou Fujimoto.The fashion designer Nigo is also contributing.
Ban's colorful public bathrooms opened to the public this month in two parks：Yoyogi Fu kamachi Mini Park and Haru--no--Ogawa Community Park.Others will be opening in coming months.
（1）Why are people often worried before entering a public restroom？
A．It's not always clean.
B．It's usually at a huge distance.
C．Its lock is usually useless.
D．It's always occupied.
（2）What does the underlined word "transparent" mean in the third paragraph？
A．Full of bright colors.
B．Not easy to see through.
C．Easy to see through.
D．Thick and strong.
（3）What do we know about the project from the last two paragraphs？
A．It's impractical and silly.
B．It's rewarding and famous.
C．It has won the Pritzker Prize.
D．It's the fruit of collective wisdom.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A．Should the public restrooms be upgraded？
B．The new high-tech walls of public restrooms are coming
C．How do we live with see-through public facilities？
D．Some famous architects designed a silly project.組卷：1引用：2難度：0.5 -
4．Growing up，we are constantly reminded that young people are heavily affected by technology.We prefer to text our friends in the same room rather than make eye contact with them.And even though never-ending studies reveal to us the extent of our social media addiction，we should at least consider that it's not only our young people's problem any more.
There's the rise of the Instagram mums，who like to post a variety of cute baby pictures，share their mom feelings and their wonderful lifestyles.They are the so-called "Facebook mum generation"，a growing group of parents that like to overshare.
While all of this might be fine，and even a little humorous，new research suggests that parents' technology addiction is negatively affecting their children's behavior.According to the study，40% of mothers and 32% of fathers have admitted having some sort of phone addiction.This has led to a significant fall in verbal interactions within families.
There is no denying that I get annoyed when receiving the words "I'll be with you soon" from a parent.Sometimes what I want to do is ask one question.But，at the same time，every day leaving the room to wait until my father is finished with his "serious business"（Farmville），has now become the norm.Whether you want to escape your disturbing children for a bit，or want to stay up late flicking through Twitter，know that wanting to do all of these is normal.But before telling us to put our phones away and listing how much damage social media can do to us，why not lead by example？Why not consider how much time you spend on the phone and how this is impacting your children and your relationship with us？Maybe in this way we can work on our addiction together.
（1）From Paragraph 1，we can know that teenagers nowadays.
A．enjoy socializing with their friends
B．send messages to their friends every day
C．hate to make eye contact with their friends
D．a(chǎn)re heavily addicted to their mobile phones
（2）What does the author think of mums' oversharing？
A．Boring.
B．Selfish.
C．Funny.
D．Meaningful.
（3）The underlined word "norm" in Paragraph 4 probably means.
A．security
B．standard
C．routine
D．custom
（4）What's the main purpose of the article？
A．To share the author's own experience with the readers.
B．To call on parents to get rid of their own media addiction.
C．To reveal that parents are always addicted to mobile phones.
D．To show the author's dissatisfaction with parents' phone use.組卷：2引用：2難度：0.5
