Offices are usually in tall buildings. But actually, offices can be anywhere. There are many interesting and creative offices around the world. Let’s take a look!
The loneliest office Where is the world’s “loneliest” office It is near a glacier in the Tanggula Mountains in Tibet. The office has just one desk and a chair. It is the workplace for Luobu Renqing who was born in the 1990s. He wants to protect the glacier’s water from pollution and at his office, he can keep an eye on the precious water in his hometown.
The tube office Look at this tube office in Spain! Half of the office is dug into the ground in a forest outside Madrid. Workers can enjoy the beautiful view through the window while working. This also helps the office stay away from hot weather even during summers.
The cave office Do you want to work in a cave The workers of the Swedish Internet company, Bahnhof, do this. The company turned a big cave in the White Mountains into offices. Since the cave is 30 meters underground, it’s very safe and cool so that it keeps the company’s servers working well.
The container office The company Pallotta Teamwork moved its office to an empty house. The office is in Los Angeles, the US. People work in shipping containers and tents. There are seven tented villages. Here, people use skylights when they are working. Air conditioning is only used when many people need it, which can use less electricity.
( )31. Luobu Renqing works alone in the Tanggula Mountains to .

B 【2021·湖州吴兴区一模改编】
A lunch break—it’s an important and often a necessary part of our working or school day. It’s time to get something to eat and maybe chat with some friends. And now we’re gradually getting used to buying our lunch from plenty of places, which all offer delicious dishes and sandwiches to eat on the go.
But buying our lunch is not just costing us money, there might be a cost in polluting our planet too. Just a sandwich, some crisps and maybe a cake and coffee can produce much waste. Cups, packing paper and plastic are all part of our disposable(一次性的) feast besides the food waste we create. Some experts say throwing away food is a big cause of environmental problems.
As for the solution to the problem, according to an environmental group called Hubbub, is to eat packed lunches. Tessa Tricks from the group thinks it’s usually healthier and cheaper to make your own lunch. It means you can eat the things you really want and causes less waste.
Of course, if you haven’t got time to prepare your packed lunch and you are going to buy lunch, Hubbub suggests that you should take your own container to a shop and ask them to put your food in it. The idea of using reusable coffee cups for hot drinks and refilling water bottles has already been known successfully, so this could be another step in the right direction.
The problem with eating is that you might want to carry your food in something that is disposable, so it’s a good idea to make sure it’s something recyclable. The message seems to be that if we give our lunchtime eating habits some thought, we will all make an effort in climate(气候) change and protecting our environment. That is something for all of us to consider and take action!
( )34. The writer mainly tells us in Paragraph 2.
A. the problems of wasting food
B. different kinds of lunch
C. the problems caused by buying lunch
D. different causes of climate change
( )35. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refers to .
A. Buying take-away food
B. Eating healthier food
C. Cooking lunch by yourself
D. Using reusable materials
( )36. Which of the following is the writer’s opinion
A. People like to buy lunch from shops.
B. Many people are too busy to make their own food.
C. Throwing away food causes problems to the environment.
D. Everyone should have a good lunchtime eating habit to protect the
environment.
( )37. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Prepare Your Own Lunch
B. Don’t Use Disposable Containers
C. Eat Properly to Keep Healthy
D. Don’t Let Our Lunch Cost the Earth
C 【2021·宁波海曙区二模改编】
Most of your textbooks are single-use. After graduating, old textbooks are thrown away, which is a big waste of money and paper.
Many countries already reuse their textbooks. In the US, book companies will come to schools and buy used books. They then resell them to new students of the following year at a lower price. A high school textbook in the US can have up to eight owners before it is no longer in a good enough condition to be used, according to Xinhua News Agency. The book can then be recycled.
In China, according to the National Press and Publication Administration, students across the country buy 2.8 billion new textbooks every year. If the students of the following year could reuse these textbooks, it would save over 20 billion yuan each year. That’s enough money to build 40,000 primary schools according to China Daily.
Primary and junior high school students in several Chinese cities are reusing music, art, science and IT textbooks. That’s because students don’t have to take down many notes in their textbooks for these subjects, which makes them suitable for reusing.
However, these books only account for a tiny part of the total number of textbooks. As there is no good way to redistribute (再分配) second-hand textbooks, most textbooks still end up as waste, reported by The Paper.
Changes in curricula(课程) also make it hard to reuse textbooks. “I’m among the first group of students to take classes after the recent curricular reform(改革), so I have to buy new textbooks that previous(先前的) students didn’t use,” said Sun Run, a high school student from Hangzhou.
Though China has met difficulties on the way to reusing textbooks, the government needs to do something to push the second-hand textbook business in the schools. We should go ahead with the project for the future development.
( )38. How do book companies in the US help students reuse textbooks
A. They make new books.
B. They repair used books.
C. They carry them to rubbish station.
D. They buy used books and then sell them.
( )39. How does the writer show the importance of reusing textbooks in Para. 3
A. By using numbers. B. By giving examples.
C. By asking questions. D. By telling stories.
( )40. What does the underlined phrase in Para. 5 refer to
A. All the reused textbooks. B. All the new textbooks.
C. The second-hand textbooks. D. Music, art, science and IT textbooks.
( )41. What can we infer(推测) from the passage
A. China did better in reusing old textbooks than the US.
B. Throwing old textbooks is a waste of money and paper.
C. It seems that China makes a little progress in reusing old textbooks.
D. Sun Run has already reused the textbooks because of the recent curricula.
D
Several large companies have begun creating paper bottles to replace glass and plastic ones. Paper bottles aren’t quite ready to go yet, but you may see them appearing on shelves over the next few years.
Companies which sell liquids like drinks or shampoo need lots of bottles. Usually, these bottles are made of plastic or glass. But caring more about the environment, many companies have begun working to develop paper bottles. Paper bottles have many advantages.
Perhaps the most important is that they are easy to recycle, and paper bottles are lighter than glass or plastic ones, meaning they’ll need less energy to produce and to move around. Since paper is soft and easy to mold(塑造), companies can design their bottles to take almost any shape they choose.
But paper bottles aren’t perfect. Most paper bottles use water pulp, meaning trees need to be cut down to make the bottles. That could threaten animals and others who depend on the forest. There’s still lots of testing to be done before paper bottles can replace glass or plastic panies will need to see how long liquids can be stored in the bottles, and make sure the bottles won’t affect the taste.
But with so many companies working together, it’s sure that we can expect to see paper bottles on store shelves in the near future.
( )42. Why have many companies begun to develop paper bottles
A. To reduce the cost. B. To make more money.
C. To become more famous. D. To protect the environment.
( )43. In the author’s eyes, paper bottles aren’t perfect because .
A. they may do harm to the forests
B. they are lighter and softer than glass ones
C. they are not as strong as plastic ones
D. they are more expensive than glass ones
( )44. What’s the author’s attitude to paper bottles’ appearing on shelves
A. Unclear. B. Worried.
C. Confident. D. Surprised.
( )45. Which one would be the best title for the passage
A. Paper Bottles May Produce New Problems
B. Companies Work to Develop Paper Bottles
C. Will Paper Bottles Replace Plastic Ones
D. Are Paper Bottles Better than Plastic Ones

You may have heard the saying “The Yangtze River is China’s mother river.” The Yangtze is almost 6,400 km long. It is the world’s third-longest river and covers one-fifth of China’s land area. The Yangtze River Economic Zone (长江经济带) covers 11 provinces and cities, making up about 40 percent of China’s total population and GDP.
On Dec. 26, 2020, China’s top legislature (立法机关) passed the Yangtze River Protection Law, which took effect on March 1, 2021. It is the first law to protect a waterway in China, CGTN noted.
The “mother river” is in great need of protection because something is wrong with it. For example, due to overfishing and water pollution, the Chinese paddlefish (白鲟) in this river has died out after surviving (生存) for 150 million years. Ther e’s more and more land becoming desert and land pollution near the upstream part of the river in Qinghai Province, Xinhua News Agency reported.

Now, public bikes are provided for people in many cities in China.
I think it’s a good idea. First, it is extremely convenient to go around the city by bike and you can rent and return it whenever you want. What’s more, as we all know, there is heavy traffic when you go to school or work. If you choose to ride a bike, you will find that the street isn’t as crowded as usual and you can save much time. The most important thing is that riding bikes contributes to protecting the environment because it hardly causes pollution.
I hope more and more people can ride bikes and live a low-carbon life.
