Maybe you struggle every year to 36 a birthday gift for your dad. Maybe you try your best to get to school on time but still arrive late. And since these matters are 37 , it can be hard to be objective (客观的) about them. But what if you step back and think like a scientist? You might be surprised at the solutions you come up with. The Deming Cycle
In 1939 Walter A. Shewhart wrote a book about using the scientific 38 in business. He challenged the idea that progress in creating useful things looks like a straight line. He argued that businesses should be improving their 39 constantly (不断地). He used a circle, or cycle, to represent (代表) this. His student W. Edwards Deming turned Shewhart’s thoughts into a four-step cycle. This became the PDSA Cycle––Plan, Do, Study and Act––that is used by many people today. A) instead B) effects C) repeating D) take notes E) alone 1. Plan Think about your problem and form a hypothesis (假设) for how to solve it. Let’s say you want to get to school on time. Usually you take the bus. But today, you get up late. So you decide to ask your mom to take you on her motorbike 40 .

2. Do
Now it’s time to put your plan to the test. This is also the time when you start to gather data. Be sure to 41 of important details such as the time you arrive at school.
3. Study
Consider the 42 of your experiment. Did you get to school on time? What other factors are there to account for? Maybe riding with your mom was faster but it rained, so you got wet.
4. Act
Now you put your changes into action and try your new hypothesis again. Perhaps you determine that it’s faster to ride with your mom. But you need to take a rain jacket.
Keep 43 the cycle so that you can constantly improve.

🎧 Discussion topic
LittleBug88: MsNeat99: ＞＞＞ Is the Clean Hong Kong campaign(运动) working？ My dad had to pay a $1500 fine today for throwing a cigarette butt on the ground. An officer caught him and gave him a ticket. That’s just bad! Littering is against the law. If you break that law, you’re a “litter bug”, and have to pay the fine. You bring that onto yourself! The law is there to deter people from littering and to keep our environment clean. LittleBug88: TidyBunny: MsNeat99: Well, I’m against this whole Clean Hong Kong campaign as it just doesn’t work! There’s still litter everywhere! What’s the Clean Hong Kong campaign? The government started it to make Hong Kong cleaner. It’s now illegal to litter or spit in public places. The campaign includes posters and television advertisements to educate people about the law and encourage them to keep Hong Kong clean. TidyBunny: MsNeat99: LittleBug88: TidyBunny: I think the campaign is a great idea. I always pick up after myself and try to keep all public places clean. I really support this campaign too. It’s important to keep our public spaces clean, otherwise diseases can spread quickly, and we can get very sick. I know a clean environment is important, but the campaign just isn’t effective. After all, people still litter and spit in public spaces. If you aren’t worried about the fine, then you’ll litter. But as long as some people are worried about the fine, they won’t litter. The fine works if it 英语试卷 第5页（共10页）
prevents some people from making public spaces dirty. MsNeat99: TidyBunny: LittleBug88: TidyBunny: LittleBug88: I agree! The campaign works if it helps keep public spaces cleaner. Hong Kong would be much dirtier without the campaign! People need to know it’s important to keep Hong Kong clean. But what can I do? I can’t clean up Hong Kong clean! Everyone needs to do their part. If everyone cleaned up after themselves, the environment would be a lot cleaner. Yes, but many people still think it’s harmless if they just throw small things on the ground. I’ve seen people drop sweet wrappers on the ground when they think no one is looking. MsNeat99: TidyBunny: LittleBug88:
( ) 59. At first, ________ is (are) against the Clean Hong Kong campaign.
A) LittleBug88 B) MsNeat99
C) TidyBunny and LittleBug88 D) MsNeat99 and TidyBunny A) learn B) save A) cleaner spaces are nicer to live in

英语试卷 第6页（共10页）
We need to be aware that small things add up to big things when many people do it! Keeping public spaces clean benefits everyone. Maybe the fine will help some people see that littering or spitting isn’t so harmless! It’s helped my dad to see that. He will definitely think twice before littering again. A $1500 fine isn’t harmless! ( ) 60.The underlined word “ deter ” in Line 6 means “________”.
C) tell D) stop B) you might be fined $1500
( ) 61. MsNeat99 thinks it’s important to keep public spaces clean because ________.

It’s been said that fashion is a language all its own. If that’s true, then some of the most effective communicators today are fashion vloggers. In the past, fashion magazines were a great source of information. Today, however, news and information about the latest styles can be easily found on the Internet. Fashion vloggers 65 exciting new ways to learn about trends (潮流)
and other topics. They make and post videos that show them using different types of fashion items. Many vloggers work hard to be connected to their viewers. 66 , the viewers are loyal (忠诚的) to their favorite vloggers.
What makes vloggers so popular? They typically don’t start out being famous. More often, they are “one of us”: 67 people who love fashion and want to share ideas. Their followers simply have faith in them and often buy the items they feature.
Vloggers often create demonstration videos. How to tie a scarf and how to apply makeup are two popular themes. Outfit ideas are another popular topic for videos. For example, a vlogger might show the 68 how to match certain clothing items.
Korean-American Chriselle Lim is one of the most famous fashion vloggers. The videos on her YouTube channel have received almost 29 million views. Lim’s original goal was to share her own style with anyone who might be 69 . Today she uses her videos to educate and inspire more than half a million people.
Vietnamese-American Wendy Nguyen is another favorite fashion vlogger and a true 70 story. She took her love for fashion and created Wendy’s Look book. Her YouTube video，“25 Ways to Wear a Scarf in 4.5 Minutes” has had about 45 million views! Both women have millions of loyal followers who trust their advice on a number of topics. It’s hard to deny the important role vloggers play in today’s fashion and beauty industry. ( ) 65. A) compare ( ) 66. A) With great care

Good things often come in small packages. This is e 71 true in the case of miniature art (微型艺术), where, upon close observation, great things are often revealed. The National Gallery of London describes “an artist who paints in great details on a very small scale” as a miniaturist. The pieces that miniaturists create are called miniature art. E 72 examples can be dated
back to centuries ago in many places around the world. In India, tiny drawings were painted on to palm leaves 7.62 centimeters wide. A12.5-milimeter-tall carving of a bird, d 73 in Lingjing, China, has been called China’s oldest work of art. The carving, about 13,500 years old, might be one of the world’s oldest pieces of miniature art.
Over the years, miniaturists have used many different m 74 , from paper to plant seeds, to create tiny paintings, sculptures and engravings of people, animals and scenery.
Two things are required of each artist: plenty of time and being p 75 to create miniature art. The pieces are so tiny that they need to be worked on carefully and slowly.
Though small, the pieces must be perfectly formed. Someone o 76 said, “A miniature must always be designed for close observation. It is meant to be held in the hand, watched closely and even to be looked at with a magnifying glass.” Tiny miniature paintings must be accomplished with such fine strokes(笔划) that when the piece is magnified, its amazing detail is enhanced. The same is true for miniature sculptures and all other forms of miniature art. Miniature art began to l 77 its attraction in the 19th century when photography appeared. Over the last 30 years, though, miniatures have been made popular again. It is unlikely that miniature art will ever go away as long as people remain fascinated by tiny masterpieces.

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind 《驭风男孩》tells the true story of William Kamkwamba. He grew up in a small village in Malawi, Africa. He and his friends Geoffrey and Gilbert made what toys they had from trash. They attended Wimbe Primary School and
英语试卷 第8页（共10页）
helped their families in the fields. William and Geoffrey had interest in radios and took them apart to understand the machinery inside. William looked forward to secondary school and taking science classes. In December 2000, heavy rains made it too hard for farmers to plant their corn. Although worried about a terrible harvest, William began trying to understand how
bicycle dynamos (发电机) work. They could light a bulb using the electricity produced by someone pedaling. He dreamed of how his family’s life would improve with electric power.
By December 2001, the corn supply in his village was nearly running out, and families were starving. William learned that he had been accepted into secondary school, which would give him a chance to achieve his goals. But soon after classes began, William was forced to leave school because there was no money for his school tuition.
Finally in March 2002, there was corn, and families could eat again. William started thinking about school and visited the library at Wimbe Primary School to keep his mind active. There，he found books on physics and engineering. From the pictures and diagrams in the book Explaining Physics, William got the idea to build a wind mill to produce electricity. He began spending his days looking for old machinery parts. To the people in his village, William seemed to have gone crazy. But William, with the help of Gilbert and Geoffrey, built the wind mill. It worked! He wired a system of lights for his house and also figured out how to charge cell phones. When some officials visited Wimbe Primary School, they noticed William’s wind mill. One helped spread the story of the boy with the talent for science across Malawi and the world. William went to a TED Conference in Tanzania. Then he got the chance to attend the African Leadership Academy in South Africa where he met other young inventors and scientists. They all wanted to make Africa’s future brighter.
William’s true story tells us that everybody should make efforts to realize his or her dreams. Though William 83 , he 83 . 78.Where did William Kamkwamba grow up?
