WHAT IS SCIENCE GAMES?

With a focus on collaboration, connection, discovery, and fun, students in British Columbia will have an

opportunity to participate in a 3-week science journey in July 2023! At Science Games, students from Grades 1-6

across BC explore science first-hand in an online group led by engineers and geoscientists.

This interactive event hosted online gives students the chance to investigate the ways science affects their

everyday lives. Diving deep into the world of innovation, participants will connect with other like-minded students

and work together online to create their own solutions during each Saturday activity session.

For those who are deaf or have hearing loss, making and enjoying music can be a challenge. However, that

hasn’t stopped Dame Evelyn Glennie from achieving success.

Scottish-born Dame Evelyn Glennie is one of the world’s most recognized percussionists( 打击乐器乐手 ).

However, she started going deaf at the age of eight due to a nerve disease. At 12, she totally lost her hearing.

At first, Glennie was desperate. But her percussion teacher at school taught her to feel particular notes. For

example, she had to place her hands on a wall, and he would play two notes on two timpani. He would then ask her

which was the higher note and where she felt the vibration( 振动 ). Through trials and errors, she managed to

distinguish the pitch(音调) of notes by associating where on her body she feels the sound. Thanks to her perfect

pitch and the fact that she performs barefoot, Evelyn “hears” the sound. Together with her lip-reading skills, and

amazing musicianship, she has conquered every trouble and inconvenience caused by her impairment.

Till now, Glennie has performed with almost all the major orchestras( 管弦乐队) globally. Besides classical

music, she is famous for partnerships with pop and rock artists like Sting and Bjork. Glennie’s works have earned

her over 100 music awards, including two Grammys. She even led 1,000 drummers in the opening ceremony of the

London 2012 Olympic Games.

At the age of 58 this year, Glennie’s mission now is to “teach the world to listen”, to improve communication

by encouraging everyone to discover a new way of listening. “It’s important to grab on to any opportunity that

comes your way, but you also need to create your own opportunities,” says Evelyn. “It’s a personal time to reflect

on the impact you might have on other people as well. I don’t know if age plays a part in it, because I feel as though

I haven’t really achieved very much and there’s still so much to do!”

24. How could Glennie identify different notes as a deaf person?

A. By reading her teacher’s lips.

B. By putting her hands on a wall.

C. By applying her amazing musicianship.

D. By feeling the vibration through her body.

25. What does the underlined word “impairment” in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Abnormality. B. Sorrow. C. Mismatch. D. Fear.

26. Which of the following best describes Glennie’s character?

A. Faithful and tolerant. B. Determined and kind.

C. Cheerful and practical. D. Considerate and dutiful.

27. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. A Deaf Musician Heard by the World

B. A Dream Pursued by Evelyn Glennie

C. Evelyn Glennie: Teach the World to Listen

D. Talented Percussionist: Say “No” to Age

When preparing fruit and vegetables, many people will peel(削皮) them. But often, it’s not necessary.

Fruit and vegetables are rich sources of nutrition like vitamins. Not consuming enough of these nutrient-rich

foods is linked to an increased risk of diseases. Eating 400g of fruit and vegetables a day, as the WHO

recommends, is difficult to achieve for many people. So could consuming fruit and vegetable peels help with this

issue by adding important nutrients to people’s diets?

They can certainly contribute. For example, nutritionally important amounts of vitamins and minerals are

found in the peels of seven root vegetables: beetroot, field mustard, wild carrot, sweet potato, radish, ginger and

white potato. And the US Department of Agriculture shows that unpeeled apples contain 15% more vitamin C,

267% more vitamin K, 20% more calcium and 85% more fibre than peeled apples.

Another reason is the effect on the environment. According to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization,

uneaten food, including peels, generates 8%-10% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. New Zealand alone

reports an annual wastage of 13,658 tonnes of vegetable peels and 986 tonnes of fruit peels.

Given the nutrient content of peels and its contribution to food waste, why do people peel fruit and vegetables

at all? Some must be peeled as the outer parts don’t taste nice, are hard to clean or cause harm. Also, peeling may

be a necessary part of the recipe, for example, when making mashed potato. But many peels, such as carrot and

kiwifruit, are suitable to be eaten, yet people habitually peel them anyway. Some people peel fruit and veg because

they are concerned about pesticides(杀虫剂) on the surface.

If you want to find out more about fruit and vegetable peels and what to do with it, there is lots of advice

online including help on how to deal with peels. With a little investigation and creativity, you can help to reduce

waste and increase you fruit and vegetables intake.

28. Where is the text most probably taken from?

A. A cooking guidebook. B. A life magazine.

C. A poster about environment. D. An ad about a health website.

29. How can eating fruit and vegetable peels benefit people’s health?

A. Not eating the peels will lead to higher risks of some diseases.

B. Some significant vitamins and minerals are only found in peels.

C. Eating peels can increase people’s intake of important nutrients.

D. Peels have more nutrients than fruit and vegetables’ inner parts.

30. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning New Zealand?

A. To highlight the serious food problem in the country.

B. To draw our attention to greenhouse gas emissions.

C. To call on New Zealanders not to throw away peels.

D. To show peels’ negative impact on the environment.

31. Why do so many people peel carrots?

A. Because some recipes tell them to do so.

B. Because the outer parts are hard to clean.

C. Because there exists too much pesticides.

D. Because they’re used to peeling vegetables.
