German artist HA Schult is an unusual artist who uses trash (废物) to make sculptures.“We are living in the time of garbage，” says Schult.“I created a thousand sculptures of garbage.They are a mirror of ourselves.” Here, Schult was talking about his 1,000 trash sculptures in the form of humans.He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of North Rhine－Westphalia.
“They are social sculptures，” he explains.“They are not only sculptures for the eyes.They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.” So far, Schult's social sculptures have been on show in Paris, in Moscow's Red Square, on the Great Wall of China, and in the desert next to the Pyramids of Giza near Cairo.
HA Schult's work is unforgettable.Although his work has had a big influence on the art world, Schult remains modest about his creations: “Artists have to learn every time.We are not important.All that counts is the time in which we are living.”
Trash art has been around for years.But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash.Why can't common people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art Maybe it's because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isn't, or whom artists are or should be.
You can be an artist like Schult if you try.Look at used metal cans.What might be done with them Imagine them in any number of new uses, or imagine them simply as an art form.What about boxes or clothing Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets.And clothing？Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organizers.

A．it takes talent to be a trash artist

4．Which of the following is the best title for the text

Most of us have been in this situation: You're on your way to your friend's house, then you suddenly ask yourself, “Did I remember to turn the lights off？” For those with smart homes, however, this wouldn't be a problem.
Over the last few years, smart home technology has become more popular. Thanks to user friendly products like intelligent lighting and heating controllers, people can control nearly every electrical item in their homes from anywhere in the world.
While smart homes aren't new, companies like Philips and Xiaomi have finally brought automation to everyday people with affordable products like artificial intelligence (AI) speakers and sensors. “The obvious message is that you can stop wasting energy，” Tom Kerber, director of research for U．S. based digital company Parks Associates, told The Guardian.
And the technology also has more meaningful uses. In Norway, for example, one company is using smart technology to make life easier for its elderly customers. Abilia's system allows carers to check up on patients through a tablet on a wall inside their home. The device sends patients reminders about tasks, such as when they need to take medications (药). It can even tell carers if there's any unusual activity in the home that could be life threatening.
“This kind of system allows people to take care of themselves, which is the most important thing，” Abilia's vice president, Oystein Johnsen, told the BBC. “It also saves the government money. In Norway, it costs 1 million kroner (about 0.8 million yuan) per year to have someone in a care home. This system costs 15,000 kroner a year.”
So, for those who have already “gone smart”， will it ever be possible to go back to do things in the old fashioned way “I think it would be difficult. When we go to a friend's house or on vacation we find ourselves expecting the house to do things for us that we should do，” Poulson, a senior program manager from Seattle, U．S., explained.
5．What are the first and second paragraphs used for
A．Introducing the topic.
B．Describing the situation.
C．Advertising smart homes.
D．Putting forward the author's opinion.
6．What do Philips and Xiaomi have in common
A．They are all designing smart homes.
B．They are all U．S. based digital companies.
C．They've all made inexpensive AI products for ordinary people.
D．They've all received affordable products automatically.
7．What does Abilia's system allow users to do in Norway
A．To switch off lights through a tablet.
B．To buy user friendly products.
C．To control heating and cooling systems.
D．To take care of themselves.
8．What's Poulson's attitude to smart home technology
A．Cautious. B．Favorable.
C．Indifferent. D．Disapproving.
C
The world is a greener place than it was 20 years ago, and a study based on data from NASA satellites has showed a source for much of this new greening phenomenon: China and India. China and India account for one third of the greening, but contain only 9% of the planet's land area covered in vegetation (植被)．
“When the greening of the Earth was first observed, we thought it was due to a warmer, wetter climate and added carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, leading to more leaf growth in northern forests. Now, with the data, we see that humans are contributing much，”said Rama Nemani, a co author of the study. China's outsized contribution to the global greening trend comes in large part (42%) from programs to conserve and expand forests. These were developed in an effort to reduce the effects of soil erosion, air pollution and climate change. Another 32% there — 82% of the greening seen in India — comes from intensive (集约的) growing of food crops.
However, researchers point out that the greening in the future depends on numerous aspects, both on a global level and the local human level. For example, increased crop production in India is promoted by groundwater irrigation. If the groundwater is running out, its crop production will be on the decrease, leading to less greening.
The gain in greenness seen around the world and led by China and India does not offset the damage from loss of natural vegetation in tropical regions, such as Brazil and Indonesia. The consequences for sustainability (可持续性) and biodiversity in those ecosystems remain.
Nemani is pretty excited about the findings, not just because the greener, the better. “Once people realize there's a problem, they tend to fix it，” he said. “In the 70s and 80s in India and China, the situation around vegetation loss wasn't good; in the 90s, people realized it; and today things have improved. Humans are unbelievable adaptable.”
9．What does the underlined word “offset” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Prevent. B．Balance.
C．Interrupt. D．Survive.
10．How does Nemani find the findings
A．They are a positive indicator of human nature.
B．They convey that the greener, the better.
C．They show humans prefer to fix their mistakes.
D．They are consistent with his expectation.
11．Which is the main reason for the Earth's getting greener
A．The expanding of leaf area in northern forests.
B．Warmer and wetter climate in China and India.
C．Favorable weather and increased CO2 in the air.
D．Tree planting programs and intensive agriculture.
12．What does the example in Paragraph 3 prove
A．Indian crop production may decline.
B．Humans advance the global greening.
C．The greening trend may change.
D．Groundwater in India is running out.
D
There're so many ways that going green can benefit not only our beautiful earth and our environment, but also your own daily life and health.Green living, renewable energy source and sustainable (足可支撑的) materials are all the newest and most exciting buzz words of recent years.
Foot power.Ride your bicycle, walk or run to your destination rather than driving your vehicle.You'll save money on gas and you'll enjoy excellent cardiovascular (心血管的) health as a result of using your own energy to arrive where you want to go.Do some sightseeing on the way too!
Enjoy solar power.Solar water heating systems are built so that you can enjoy free heated water.Solar powered lights are an excellent way to dress up your landscape while positively impacting the environment.You'll use less electricity, save money and cut back on the amount of fossil fuels your family uses to light up the outside of your house, garden or pool area.Solar battery charters enable you to have electricity anywhere with sunlight you go.Power your cell phone, laptop, lights, RVs, boats and handheld devices without the concern of the location of an electrical outlet.You'll help save the environment at the same time you're enjoying free electricity!
Healthier bodies and support the local economy.Eating fresh whole organic foods provides the fuel our bodies aced to function best.The benefits of making greener food choice are increased long life, better tasting foods and feeling good about supporting your local growers.Grow your own vegetables or purchase locally from farmers' markets and food cooperative.You're automatically helping the environment because the amount of fossil fuels required to ship or truck in fresh food to the grocery store is cut considerably.
Green household cleaners.Make your own household cleaners or choose all natural products to make your home sparkle.No more worrying about harsh (涩口的) smells or chemical reactions — you'll simply enjoy a cleaner healthier home environment naturally.
Questions：
13．What's the advantage of solar power according to the passage

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Once when I was young and had a loose tooth, I asked my father, a_dentist,_to look at it.
“It needs to be pulled，” he told me. I frowned, afraid of the pain of that experience. My dad sent me for some tissues and I imagined them soaking up liters of blood from my mouth. I closed my eyes and strengthened myself. I was still waiting for him to pull when I heard my father say, “I'm done.”
I opened my eyes and saw my tooth in his tissue covered_hand. I hadn't felt anything, and there was just a bit of blood on the tissues. I thought my father was a magician.
The next day at school I bragged to a friend about my_father's_wonderful_skill. When I explained that the process didn't hurt, my friend called me a liar. He said that when his tooth was pulled, it had hurt a lot. I talked to my father about this and there was not a single mystery left after my father's explanation: my tooth had been ready to be removed, while my friend's had not.
“I'm going to be a dentist，” I declared. I wanted to follow in the professional footsteps of my father, my uncle and grandmother. My father supported my ambition,_honoring my interest in his profession even when I was young. He always encouraged me, saying，“To_achieve_your_goal,_you should always be devoting hard_work_and_effort to it.”
I didn't need to visit my father's office as a child because I had few cavities. As I entered the elementary school and began eating more candy, however, I visited more often. I didn't mind, though. I was the only kid I knew who was excited about going to the dentist. After my father worked on my teeth, he let me hang around. And I was amazed as he operated complicated machines, leaning over patients'_mouths with a tiny mirror strapped to his head.

Dear friends，
As we all know, nature provides us with abundant resources, which are essential to our everyday living. If the environment is worsening, our life will also be threatened, so it's urgent that we make joint efforts to protect the environment.
It's widely acknowledged that human activities have caused global warming to a large extent. Therefore, it's time that we took effective measures to save energy. Biking or taking a bus to and from school is a better choice than using private cars. It's wise to turn off electrical appliances when we don't use them. Besides, we can appeal to people around us to do something for our environment.
Let's work together and take action now! Everyone's effort counts.
【续写】
Paragraph 1：
Once, when my dad was pulling my mother's teeth, he even let me clear her mouth. Afraid to meet the challenge at first, I managed to start with my father's encouragement. After all, it was the first time I had seen the inside of a human mouth. Staring and fascinated at the structure of my mom's teeth,_I dreamt that one day I would take up my intentional career as a_dentist. Having cleared her mouth with alcohol and tissues,_I got a clear image of the teeth from my mother and praise for good work from my father.
Paragraph 2：
Years later, the dream of a child has not declined but actually grown firmer. As time passed, I realized that hard_work_and_effort were necessary to be a dentist, which made my ambition even stronger. As the first step in preparation for my promising career as a dentist, the first business of all is that I should struggle to be qualified to study in a medical school. To achieve my goal, I should devote my time and energy without any hesitation to learning and practice following my father.

Most of us have been in this situation: You're on your way to your friend's house, then you suddenly ask yourself, “Did I remember to turn the lights off？” For those with smart homes, however, this wouldn't be a problem.
Over the last few years, smart home technology has become more popular. Thanks to user friendly products like intelligent lighting and heating controllers, people can control nearly every electrical item in their homes from anywhere in the world.
While smart homes aren't new, companies like Philips and Xiaomi have finally brought automation to everyday people with affordable products like artificial intelligence (AI) speakers and sensors. “The obvious message is that you can stop wasting energy，” Tom Kerber, director of research for U．S. based digital company Parks Associates, told The Guardian.
And the technology also has more meaningful uses. In Norway, for example, one company is using smart technology to make life easier for its elderly customers. Abilia's system allows carers to check up on patients through a tablet on a wall inside their home. The device sends patients reminders about tasks, such as when they need to take medications (药). It can even tell carers if there's any unusual activity in the home that could be life threatening.
“This kind of system allows people to take care of themselves, which is the most important thing，” Abilia's vice president, Oystein Johnsen, told the BBC. “It also saves the government money. In Norway, it costs 1 million kroner (about 0.8 million yuan) per year to have someone in a care home. This system costs 15,000 kroner a year.”
So, for those who have already “gone smart”， will it ever be possible to go back to do things in the old fashioned way “I think it would be difficult. When we go to a friend's house or on vacation we find ourselves expecting the house to do things for us that we should do，” Poulson, a senior program manager from Seattle, U．S., explained.
5．What are the first and second paragraphs used for
A．Introducing the topic.
B．Describing the situation.
C．Advertising smart homes.
D．Putting forward the author's opinion.
6．What do Philips and Xiaomi have in common
A．They are all designing smart homes.
B．They are all U．S. based digital companies.
C．They've all made inexpensive AI products for ordinary people.
D．They've all received affordable products automatically.
7．What does Abilia's system allow users to do in Norway
A．To switch off lights through a tablet.
B．To buy user friendly products.
C．To control heating and cooling systems.
D．To take care of themselves.
8．What's Poulson's attitude to smart home technology
A．Cautious. B．Favorable.
C．Indifferent. D．Disapproving.

The world is a greener place than it was 20 years ago, and a study based on data from NASA satellites has showed a source for much of this new greening phenomenon: China and India. China and India account for one third of the greening, but contain only 9% of the planet's land area covered in vegetation (植被)．
“When the greening of the Earth was first observed, we thought it was due to a warmer, wetter climate and added carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, leading to more leaf growth in northern forests. Now, with the data, we see that humans are contributing much，”said Rama Nemani, a co author of the study. China's outsized contribution to the global greening trend comes in large part (42%) from programs to conserve and expand forests. These were developed in an effort to reduce the effects of soil erosion, air pollution and climate change. Another 32% there — 82% of the greening seen in India — comes from intensive (集约的) growing of food crops.
However, researchers point out that the greening in the future depends on numerous aspects, both on a global level and the local human level. For example, increased crop production in India is promoted by groundwater irrigation. If the groundwater is running out, its crop production will be on the decrease, leading to less greening.
The gain in greenness seen around the world and led by China and India does not offset the damage from loss of natural vegetation in tropical regions, such as Brazil and Indonesia. The consequences for sustainability (可持续性) and biodiversity in those ecosystems remain.
Nemani is pretty excited about the findings, not just because the greener, the better. “Once people realize there's a problem, they tend to fix it，” he said. “In the 70s and 80s in India and China, the situation around vegetation loss wasn't good; in the 90s, people realized it; and today things have improved. Humans are unbelievable adaptable.”
9．What does the underlined word “offset” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Prevent. B．Balance.
C．Interrupt. D．Survive.
10．How does Nemani find the findings
A．They are a positive indicator of human nature.
B．They convey that the greener, the better.
C．They show humans prefer to fix their mistakes.
D．They are consistent with his expectation.
11．Which is the main reason for the Earth's getting greener
A．The expanding of leaf area in northern forests.
B．Warmer and wetter climate in China and India.
C．Favorable weather and increased CO2 in the air.
D．Tree planting programs and intensive agriculture.
12．What does the example in Paragraph 3 prove
A．Indian crop production may decline.
B．Humans advance the global greening.
C．The greening trend may change.
D．Groundwater in India is running out.
D

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Once when I was young and had a loose tooth, I asked my father, a_dentist,_to look at it.
“It needs to be pulled，” he told me. I frowned, afraid of the pain of that experience. My dad sent me for some tissues and I imagined them soaking up liters of blood from my mouth. I closed my eyes and strengthened myself. I was still waiting for him to pull when I heard my father say, “I'm done.”
I opened my eyes and saw my tooth in his tissue covered_hand. I hadn't felt anything, and there was just a bit of blood on the tissues. I thought my father was a magician.
The next day at school I bragged to a friend about my_father's_wonderful_skill. When I explained that the process didn't hurt, my friend called me a liar. He said that when his tooth was pulled, it had hurt a lot. I talked to my father about this and there was not a single mystery left after my father's explanation: my tooth had been ready to be removed, while my friend's had not.
“I'm going to be a dentist，” I declared. I wanted to follow in the professional footsteps of my father, my uncle and grandmother. My father supported my ambition,_honoring my interest in his profession even when I was young. He always encouraged me, saying，“To_achieve_your_goal,_you should always be devoting hard_work_and_effort to it.”
I didn't need to visit my father's office as a child because I had few cavities. As I entered the elementary school and began eating more candy, however, I visited more often. I didn't mind, though. I was the only kid I knew who was excited about going to the dentist. After my father worked on my teeth, he let me hang around. And I was amazed as he operated complicated machines, leaning over patients'_mouths with a tiny mirror strapped to his head.

Dear friends，
As we all know, nature provides us with abundant resources, which are essential to our everyday living. If the environment is worsening, our life will also be threatened, so it's urgent that we make joint efforts to protect the environment.
It's widely acknowledged that human activities have caused global warming to a large extent. Therefore, it's time that we took effective measures to save energy. Biking or taking a bus to and from school is a better choice than using private cars. It's wise to turn off electrical appliances when we don't use them. Besides, we can appeal to people around us to do something for our environment.
Let's work together and take action now! Everyone's effort counts.

Paragraph 1：
Once, when my dad was pulling my mother's teeth, he even let me clear her mouth. Afraid to meet the challenge at first, I managed to start with my father's encouragement. After all, it was the first time I had seen the inside of a human mouth. Staring and fascinated at the structure of my mom's teeth,_I dreamt that one day I would take up my intentional career as a_dentist. Having cleared her mouth with alcohol and tissues,_I got a clear image of the teeth from my mother and praise for good work from my father.
Paragraph 2：
Years later, the dream of a child has not declined but actually grown firmer. As time passed, I realized that hard_work_and_effort were necessary to be a dentist, which made my ambition even stronger. As the first step in preparation for my promising career as a dentist, the first business of all is that I should struggle to be qualified to study in a medical school. To achieve my goal, I should devote my time and energy without any hesitation to learning and practice following my father.
