21、Since the age of 5, Laura Lee has had what most would consider an odd habit-she collects toilet rolls. At that time, she didn’t know this habit would eventually become a nationwide recycling campaign.
In December 2018, as a 16-year-old student of Nanyang Girls’ High School in Singapore, Lee founded ToiletRollSG, a national project that aims to collect 1,000 kilograms of cardboard cylinders — or about 150,000 pieces. As of February of 2021, Lee, who was studying at Hwa Chong Institution, had collected 860 kg of toilet rolls, reported Singapore Today. Slightly later, she was awarded Singapore’s National Environment Agency’s Ecofriend Awards, which recognizes individuals for their contributions to the environment, under the Youth and Students category.
But why did she choose toilet rolls? “They are convenient to collect and also one of the purest forms of waste to recycle because they are made of only one material,” Lee told Singapore Today. “Project must be economically practical too. For example, it’s more difficult to recycle pens because they are made up of too many different materials like rubber casings, metals and plastics which require more resources to separate.”
Lee went into a partnership with the waste management firm Veolia, which gives her five cents for every 1 kg of toilet rolls collected.
She organized “toilet roll challenges” within Nanyang Girls’ High School and worked with cleaners to collect used toilet rolls from school toilets. She also conducted talks about ToiletRollSG. But due to COVID-19, she has been unable to conduct physical talks, so she raises awareness about different social causes through her Instagram Live series called On A Roll.
One of the biggest challenges Lee has faced has been others doubting her due to her young age. “I always have to use my actions as well as the different things I’ve done to prove that I’m passionate and know about this,” she told The Straits Times.
Lee will donate the money collected to a social cause that is focused on community health.
【1】Why did Lee found ToiletRollSG?
A．To develop some good habits.
B．To be honored by Ecofriend Awards.
C．To recycle toilet cardboard cylinders.
D．To make contributions to her high school.
【2】Lee’s mention of pens in Paragraph 3 is to ________.
A．show toilet rolls are more important
B．prove it difficult to recycle pens
C．illustrate the process of recycling pens
D．explain Lee’s opinion on recycling
【3】What is the biggest challenge Laura is faced with?
A．The failure to conduct talks.
B．The ineffective cooperation.
C．The small amount of money.
D．The mistrust of others.
【4】Which of the following words can best describe Lee?

D．Curious.
22、Science and technology have advanced at such a rate that cloning has now become a reality. The possibility of cloning humans is a serious issue(争论点) and raises ethical(伦理的) questions. In my opinion, cloning is useful for research into cures for disease. However, I think that it needs to be approached with caution and carefully monitored by governments.
Research into cloning and stem(严格的) cell production is primarily aimed at finding new treatments for currently incurable illnesses. While this would improve the quality of life for many, not enough is understood about what effects cloning would have on the world in the future. This is primarily because we do not understand enough about the results of cloning and both the physical and psychological effects that it is likely to have on cloned humans and on the rest of the world. Furthermore, it is thought that a cloned human would be unlikely to survive birth and would suffer from complications(并发症) resulting from malformed(畸形) organs .
There are also serious ethical issues in danger. In essence(在本质上), those who are against cloning would argue that scientists have no right to play God and to interfere(干扰)with natural processes. Producing embryos for the purpose of harvesting stem cells for research presents important questions about the nature and status of the embryo being produced. It may also make us question whether throwing it away after use reduces the value we place on human life.
In conclusion, I do not agree that research into cloning using human embryos should continue. This is not only because it may reduce the value we place on human life, but also because not enough is known about the effects. However, I do think that if there is a way to produce stem cells using cloning which does not put human life at risk, then governments should continue to support it.
【1】What is the writer’s general opinion on cloning?
A. It is useful in every area of research.
B. It needs to be carefully controlled by governments.
C. It is useful for research into cures for disease if it is controlled.
D. It is only useful for research into cures for disease.
【2】The underlined word “approach” in the first paragraph means “______”
A. reach a high level or amount B. move forward
C. come near D. deal with
【3】The writer’s main reason against cloning is that ______.
A. not enough is known about the effects of cloning
B. a cloned human would be likely to die of malformed organs
C. cloning has negative physical and psychological effects on clones
D. it would affect the quality of life for many
【4】In the last paragraph, the writer thinks governments should______
A. not put human life at risk
B. support all forms of research into stern cell production
C. not support any form of research into stern cell production
D. support research into stern cell production harmless to humans life
