四、阅读理解。
Governments around the world are pushing for an end to plastic straws(吸管) and bags. More and more businesses are turning to paper products as a choice, Paper is considered by many to be better than plastic. However, it, too, is harmful to the environment.
Firstly, paper bags and straws are made from trees. Trees, as you know, can reduce(减少) carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) levels in the atmosphere. They can slow down climate(气候) change. An increase in the use of paper bags can cause more acts of cutting down trees.
Secondly, products made from paper require more energy and water. About 10 percent more energy and four times as much water are used to produce a paper bag than a plastic one. You might say that we can use recycled paper to save that energy and water. This seems to be a good idea. However, it takes even more energy and water to go through the recycling process than to make a brand new paper bag. Products made from recycled paper are also often short-lived.
Thirdly, paper products are heavier than plastic ones. That means they require more oil to transport. Seven trucks are needed to transport two million paper bags, while only one truck is needed to transport the same number of plastic bags. The increased weight also leads to a larger amount of waste once the bags are thrown away.
Paper products are actually lose lose for both the environment and businesses. They are more expensive than plastic products. A paper straw costs about 5 to 12 cents, while a plastic one usually costs only about 2 cents.
The most environment friendly solution is to avoid single use products altogether. Products like glass water bottles and steel straws can be used over and over again They are much better than either paper products or plastic products. Through increasing the use of these products, you can greatly reduce your throwaway waste and truly make our Earth a greener place!
1. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Plastic products. B. Trees. C. Paper products. D. Businesses.
2. Compared with transporting two million plastic bags, transporting two million paper bags requires ______ .
A. fewer trucks B. six more trucks C. twice as many trucks D. the same number of trucks
3. The writer compared the price of a paper straw and that of a plastic straw to show that ______ .
A. paper products are not a good choice for businesses
B it is difficult for all businesses to turn to paper products
C. most people believe paper products are better than plastic ones
D paper products are as harmful to the environment as plastic ones
4. By writing this article, the writer mainly wanted to ______ .
①compare plastic products with paper ones
②correct people’s wrong ideas about paper products
③suggest people use reusable products like steel straws
④list the advantages and disadvantages of using paper products
A. ①② B. ③④ C. ①④ D. ②③
五、任务型阅读。
Have you wondered what your pets are feeling When your dog wags its tail, does that mean it is happy A new app called Happy Pets can tell you what’s going on.
The app uses artificial intelligence(AI) to tell the facial expressions of cats and dogs. ___1___ It can show the five most common feelings happy, angry, neutral(中性的), sad and scared.
Researchers at the University of Melbourne in Australia developed the app. ___2___ We can unlock our mobile phones or enter train stations with facial recognition readers. But this is the first time that the tech has been used on animals.

Next came the most important step—teaching it to detect(察觉) the feelings of cats and dogs based on certain facial characters.

How correct are the results The researchers think they are somewhat true since the app has been tested many times. ___5___ In the future, the app might also be able to analyze a pet’s body to make its readings more correct.

My favourite season
Good morning, boys and girls!
I’m Li Hua. I’m very glad to speak here, and I’d like to talk about my favourite season. My favourite season is spring. In spring, the weather gets warmer and the days get longer. The trees and the grass turn green, and all kinds of flowers come out. The scenery is as beautiful as a painting.
I can do lots of outdoor activities. Sometimes I climb mountains with my parents, and sometimes I fly kites with my friends in the park. When it rains, I like going out for a walk. The rain makes the air fresher, and it makes me feel relaxed. I think it’s wonderful.
As the saying goes, “A year’s plan starts in spring.” Let’s go outside to love nature and enjoy life.
That’s all, Thank you for listening!
