2．The insect-eaten money floated in pieces to the floor.For the global music star Angelique Kidjo，that scene of her grandmother having to use a closet as a bank is driving her desire to see African women overcome the many blocks to obtain credit and respect.
The Benin-born singer，one of Africans iconic（偶像的）artists and a collaborator（合作者）with Philip Glass and others，is the voice of a new project aimed in part at rewriting laws across the continent that prevent millions of women from becoming a more powerful economic force.
In an interview with The Associated Press，Kidjo described what she had seen over decades of travel in Africa during which women in lively marketplaces wished they had the means to do more.
"Why do banks give more loans to men versus women？That's the question I have，" she said，"Millions of businesswomen in Africa lack loans versus men.And men pay less back than women."
Every time credit is refused to African women，who consume some 90% of what they earn in educating their children，raising families and building communities as opposed to about 40% for men. "It's a disaster，" Kidjo said， "We're taking up reducing the poverty rate in Africa to the smallest number ever."
She recalled women in Ghana who often dug a hole in the ground to save their earnings because they didn't have bank accounts.And during a visit to Benin last month，one woman told her that to obtain a loan of 5，000 CFA（＄8）she had to show a property deed and hand over 100，000 CFA as collateral（抵押）.Such experiences have set her thinking.
Kidjo has won a major human rights award for she has shown unusual courage in standing up to unfairness.
（1）What is Kidjo's motivation to help women in Africa？
A．The low living standard of their families.
B．The poverty rate of some African countries.
C．Their heavy burden of housework and educating children.
D．Their difficulty in getting bank accounts and loans.
（2）What can we learn about African women？
A．They play a major role in supporting families and communities.
B．They have become a more powerful political force.
C．They will help government rewrite laws to gain rights.
D．They all have to keep their money in holes.
（3）Which of the following words can best describe Kidjo？
A．Strict and determined.
B．Caring and courageous.
C．Demanding and ambitious.
D．Considerate and cautious.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．Icon's Efforts to Help African Women Get Credit
B．Tips to Support Families and Communities
C．Troubles in Opening Bank Accounts in Africa
D．Ways to Protect Women's Rights組卷：7引用：1難度：0.5 -
3．Facial expressions are the primary way people exhibit emotion and read the feelings of others.Happiness，sadness，disgust，fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone.But when part of the face is masked，it becomes more difficult to recognize these cues.
If you cannot read someone else's emotional state，your ability to empathize with them may be compromised.Likewise，if your own mask is hiding your emotional state，others may not be able to empathize with you.Wearing a mask can also make you feel more distracted and self-conscious，further weakening your connection to others.
Fortunately，you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have left-the eyes.If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual，you should look them in the eyes，which may be easier said than done.Eye contact generates self-consciousness，consumes extra brain power and becomes uncomfortable after only three seconds.But bear in mind，eye contact can also make you appear more intelligent and trustworthy.
You might be surprised how much information is conveyed by the body itself.For instance，when someone is happy，they stand up straighter，when they are sad，they drop their head；and when they are angry，their whole body tenses up.Learning how people use their bodies to convey emotion may help reduce the uncertainty you feel when communicating with someone in a mask.
Become aware of your own body language，too.When engaged in a conversation，you can appear more attentive by turning your body toward the individual，leaning in or nodding.To let another person know you want to start speaking ，straighten your posture，or nod more frequently.Finally，be aware that imitating the posture of another person can increase how much they like you and even agree with you.
By all means，continue the proper measures to keep yourself safe，but don't neglect your relationships as a consequence.Social distance doesn't have to mean socially distant.
（1）What will happen if you wear a mask？
A．Your fear won't be known by others.
B．Others will have difficulty understanding you.
C．You will lose the ability to empathize with others.
D．Others won't focus on your face.
（2）Why is eye contact difficult？
A．It may lead to misunderstanding.
B．It requires more brain power.
C．It may cause people to believe you less.
D．It will result in social distance.
（3）What does paragraph 4 and 5 mainly talk about？
A．Body language is a double-edged sword.
B．Body language can convey shocking information.
C．We should make good use of body language.
D．Be careful with your body language when talking.
（4）What is the best title of this passage？
A．How do people use their bodies to convey emotion？
B．Facial expressions，the primary way of human connection.
C．Facial expressions，eye contact，body language，which is the best？
D．How do we keep socially distant to keep ourselves safe？組卷：10引用：1難度：0.6

Ten-year-old Sami loved to visit his grandfather's house.The house was near the beautiful blue sea.At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with green coconuts hanging from them.When the coconuts fell down，Sami would break them open and drink the coconut water.Sami liked to play under the trees.It was always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa's place.
This winter vacation，Sami was surprised when he came to his grandfather's village.There were hardly any trees left.He saw houses built near the sea.People had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left.
Grandpa's house was different.He never allowed his trees to be cut.He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard.He also named the two big trees near the front door--one was Petu，and the other Betu.He had planted them with his own hands and today they had become large，massive trees with thick trunks.They were tall and green and gave the sweetest，juiciest coconuts.
One night，Sami was awakened by a strange sound.He could not sleep.He tossed（輾轉(zhuǎn)）and turned in bed.
Suddenly，the ground shook as if the earth was splitting.He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa.He clung（附著）to his grandpa tightly.Grandpa cried out，"It's an earthquake!It's an earthquake!" They ran outside the house.They thought that would be safe.
Suddenly，there was a loud sound；the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring.People were shouting，screaming and crying， "The sea is rising!The sea is rising." The villagers started running away from the beach.
Sami watched dumbstruck（呆若木雞）.
The waves were rising higher and higher.Sami thought， "How big the waves are!" He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides.He was scared.
Sami remembered his mother telling him long ago， "You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near." He ran outside the house with Grandpa.But the water came surging（洶涌） in.
Waves about twelve meters high came rushing in，drowning everything.Water was all around and everywhere.
Paragraph 1：

Paragraph 2：
"Sami，Sami!" Grandpa cried. "Don't be scared，little one，come to me，quickly."_______.組卷：43引用：3難度：0.5
