Two British teachers have broken the world record for the longest journey in a tuk-tuk(三轮小摩的) after pulling their failing vehicle for 43 miles. Richard Sears and Nick Gough travelled 37, 500 kilometres around the world and passed through 37 countries. They did this to support a grass-roots education project in Africa, Asia and South America.
The pair, who set off from London, thought their expedition was over when the vehicle started to fail. When the tuk-tuk broke, they were only 70 kilometers from their destination. They decided to pull it the rest of the way. The tuk-tuk, which weighs 800 kilograms, was pulled in turns by Richard and Nick over three days. On arrival in Chepen, Peru, they discovered a mechanic who specialized in tuk-tuks and managed to fix it.
The pair were back on the road and aiming for their next goal. Along their journey they had to tackle deserts and jungles. They also survived close encounters with elephants in Uganda and Botswana and an accident in Malaysia. The greatest hardship on the tuk-tuk was the mountain ranges lying in their path, including the Alps, the Himalayas and the Andes.
Nick and Richard uncovered some inspirational projects across Africa, Asia and South America. They witnessed first-hand the educational challenges facing these areas today. They joined street children in the slums of Cairo, Khartoum, Kampala, Mumbai and Phnom Penh. They visited Consolese refugees (难民) in camps in Eastern Burundi. They witnessed how education could free victims of human trafficking in Nepal.
The pair established The Tuk Tuk Educational Trust, a UK registered charity. Talking about their motivation, Richard said: " The world's leaders have made a commitment to achieving universal primary education but, in spite of this pledge (承诺), over 57 million primary-aged children worldwide are still out of school; many more are in school, though still cannot access quality learning opportunities. "
14. Why did the two teachers travel the world
A. To support an education project. B. To create a new world record.
C.To entertain themselves. D. To challenge themselves.
15. How far did the two teachers pull the tuk-tuk each day on average
A little more than 30 kilometres. B. About 14 miles.
C. 43 miles. D. 70 kilometres.
16. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. How they realized their next goal.
B. Their exciting experience on the road.
C. The beautiful scenery of famous mountains.
D. The difficulties and dangers they faced in the journey.
17. Which of the following best describes the two teachers
A. Curious and brave. B. Humorous and generous.
C. Courageous and responsible. D. Efficient and honesty
C.
In 1985, a little Italian plumber (水管工) became the face of video games, and changed the way we play them. "Super Mario Bros" saw the main characters in the game, Mario and Luigi, jump around the Mushroom Kingdom, collect coins and rush to save a princess from a bad turtle. The content was different from the simple gameplay of Snake or Pac-Man, where the aim was to eat and stay alive.
Mario originated as a carpenter in the 1981 game "Donkey Kong", which was advanced for its time, with retro (Let#J) sound effects as Mario moved on challenging platforms. "At the time, video games were usually created by computer engineers, as opposed to today's artists," said Shigeru Miyamoto, game designer and producer of the "Super Mario Bros" and "Donkey Kong". As to why he picked a 26-year-old Italian-American plumber from New York as the main character, Miyamoto said, "we wanted him to be someone who might live near you, and not a superhero. "
The game's popularity really took off in 1985 when "Super Mario Bros" was released. "People had never seen a game like Super Mario Bros," said Frank Cifaldi, co-director of the Video Game History Foundation. "Super Mario Bros, despite having the same limitations as its peers (同类产品|), manages to convey a hard and long adventure in a large world." "Super Mario Bros changed the way we play video games—from merely aiming for a high score to playing a game to experience an adventure and see it through to its ending," he said.
"For all the critics that may say video games are full of violence and killings, the moustached Mario remains the most globally identifiable face of the video game industry," added Miyamoto.
18. Why did Miyamoto pick a plumber as the main character
A. He regarded plumbers as superheroes.
B. He found it challenging to design a superhero.
C. He wanted his game players to live close to each other.
D. He wanted to design an average person like most of the players.
19. The reason why "Super Mario Bros" gained popularity was that _____________.
A. it was different from the games before
B. it had fewer limitations than other games
C. it was simple and less challenging to play
D. it satisfied players' desire for a high score
20. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Spirits of Super Mario Bros
B. "Super Mario Bros" VS "Donkey Kong"
C. Key Factors for Super Mario Bros to be Released
D. A New Chapter in Video Game Super Mario Bros
D.

Breaking the boundaries
Back in 2014, Deepa Singh followed a set routine. 21.______________ Then she would wait for her sister to throw some clothes and a pair of shoes from the window. She'd walk to a school, change into a loose T-shirt and trousers and practise breaking — a street dance style.
This routine lasted for a year until she participated in competitions and showed videos to her parents. “ 22. ______________ Seeing my skills, they realized that I was serious about my career choice,” says Singh, 23, whose stage name is B-Girl FlowRaw. Last year, she represented India at Queen 16, a breaking festival in Germany with participants from Spain, Russia and Korea.

There's less competition and more connections among the dancers. Early this year, when Rodrigues won a competition against a B-Boy from Mumbai, she received messages from women breakers from across India. She concludes, “ 25._____________________. ”

B. It takes a year to perfect the basics.
