Want to know what we can do to help make our city a better place to live Why not take part in “Clean & Green Weekend”? Join us, and you can make new friends and help protect the environment at the same time.
Park Life Do you like hanging out in the park with your friends If so, why not take the chance to come with us and tidy up the park as you go there?To add some fun, there is a gift for the person who collects the most rubbish! Meet us at the south entrance to Taohe Park at 9 am next Saturday if you want to join in.
The Air You Breathe A great way to make the air we breathe cleaner is to plant lots of trees!It is a fact that trees slowly filter(过滤) a lot of pollutants from the air. So come and help us plant some new ones in Fenhe Park at 2 pm next Sunday.
War on Graffiti(涂鸦) Some people think graffiti is cool. Well, it is not! The best way to stop buildings from being totally covered in ugly graffiti is to get rid of it as soon as possible. And that is exactly what we are going to do. We are going to repaint the school walls at 1 pm on Saturday. You don't need to bring any tools; just remember to wear some old clothes!

B
The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty. It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the Earth is covered with water while we say we are short of water. Why Because about 97% of the water on the Earth is sea water which we can't drink or use for watering plants directly. Man can only drink and use 3% of the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can't even use all of that because some of it has been polluted.
Now more water is needed. The problem is: Can we avoid a serious water shortage later on First, we should all learn how to save water. Second, we should find out the ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been making a study in this field. Today, in most large cities, water is used only once and then runs to the seas or rivers. However, it can be used again. Even if every large city reused its water, there still would not be enough water. What could people turn to next
The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but it's already in use in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way to do it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we'll be in no danger of drying up.
( )24.The world is thirsty because ________.
A.3/4 of the Earth is covered with water
B.we have enough sea water to use directly
C.we haven't used all the water in rivers and lakes

( )25.From the passage we learn ________.
A.if every city reuses its water, we won't be in danger of drying up
B.man can only drink and use about 25% of the water on the Earth
C.today in most large cities water is used only once
D.water can be used only once

Many Different Kinds of Trash
Garbage sorting is a big issue worldwide. In recent years, some Chinese cities have been working hard on it.
Shanghai has worked with Alipay to create a “green account(账户)” service for its residents(居民). Account holders get points by correctly sorting their garbage. Through the Alipay app, they can exchange the points for milk, phone cards and other products. The city is asking all of its residents to sort their garbage into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.
※Wet waste is also known as household waste. “They are things you don't want but pigs can eat,” Guangzhou Daily explained.
※Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.
※Harmful waste includes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs(荧光灯泡).
※Any waste that is not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in the “dry waste dustbin.
China is improving its waste sorting efforts. There is still a long way to go. But it's never too late to learn how to sort your trash properly and protect the environment.
Also, different countries are using different methods to sort their trash.
※UK: A smart bin
A UK company has invented a“smart bin” to help with garbage sorting. People just need to drop their garbage into the bin. A camera and sensors(感应器) in the bin can tell what type of garbage it is and correctly sort it. The bin also compresses the waste so it takes up less space.
※South Korea: food aside
South Korea is using a method called “Pay For Your Trash” to encourage its people to reduce food waste. When throwing away trash, people have to separate their food waste from their other waste and put it in a dustbin. The smart dustbin then weighs the food. People have to pay for their food waste by scanning a bar code on the bin. The more they throw away, the more they will pay.
※Japan: careful sorting
Japan is leading the world in garbage sorting. They sort garbage so carefully that even plastic bottles and their caps go into different bins. Different types of paper products—newspapers, magazines and cartons—also have their own bins. There are also factories that make bags, clothes and dolls out of recycled waste.
( )27.How is Shanghai encouraging people to sort their garbage
A.By providing its residents with guidebooks to help them.
B.By giving people money to sort their trash correctly.
C.By allowing people to exchange garbage with each other.
D.By creating a special account service with the help of Alipay.
( )28.What do we know about garbage sorting in China according to the passage
A.People pay for their food waste by scanning a bar code.
B.Residents have to take waste sorting classes.
C.There is still a lot of work to be done in this area.
D.Plastic bottles and their caps go into different bins.
( )29.The underlined word “compresses” probably means “________” in the passage.
A.squeezes or pushes hard together
B.makes something bigger or increases
C.pulls down or destroys
D.makes something new, such as a product
D
How do you deal with plastic bags from the supermarket Throw them away or recycle them How about eating them
The bags are not harmful to the environment. Humans and animals can safely eat them. An Indian company EnviGreen has made a bag with natural materials. It looks and feels just like plastic, but it can be broken down(分解) easily.
Ashwath Hedge who set up EnviGreen spent four years doing experiments with 12 natural materials. They included potatoes, corn, vegetable oil and bananas. He made the materials into liquid(液体) and used the liquid to make the bag.
Although the EnviGreen bag is more expensive than a common plastic bag, it has many advantages. According to The Wall Street Journal, it takes 1,000 years for common plastic bags to be broken down. But an EnviGreen bag can naturally be broken down in less than 180 days. It is also broken down in less than a day in water, and in less than a minute in boiling water. Hedge was happy to show it in his interview. He put an EnviGreen bag in water and ate it with a smile.
There are more than 15,000 tons of plastic waste in India every day. But only 9,000 tons are processed(处理). In China, 3 billion plastic bags are used every day. Maybe the EnviGreen bag could be a solution to the world problem of plastic pollution.
( )30.The main idea of the third paragraph is “________”.
A.What Hedge thought of the new bag B.How Hedge made the EnviGreen bag
C.Who set up the EnviGreen company D.How long it took Hedge to make the bag
( )31.The underlined sentences in Paragraph 4 show that the EnviGreen bag ________.
A.is safe and can be broken down quickly
B.is useful although it is more expensive
C.looks and feels like a common plastic bag
D.will be used more widely than a common plastic bag
( )32.The EnviGreen bag is broken down fastest in ________.
A.hot air
B.cold water
C.boiling water
D.natural air
( )33.From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.
A.all of India's plastic waste is processed
B.India has the most plastic waste in the world
C.China produces more plastic waste than India
D.the EnviGreen bag may help solve the problem of plastic pollution

Huge Waves Destroying Arctic Ice Faster than Expected
Ice covers much of the Arctic Ocean(北冰洋).Some pieces of ice are huge, like moving islands. As temperatures have increased, however, some of the ice has begun to disappear. Scientists have discovered huge waves(海浪)in the arctic waters.
The waves were discovered by accident in May, 2010.Scientist Aleksey Marchenko and his students set out on a trip. They wanted to study the icy waters.
On May 2, the ship travelled east and stopped next to a large chunk of ice around 50 miles from the small island of Hopen. Marchenko prepared to lead his students out onto the ice.
“We were ready to go but when I went out, I discovered many cracks(裂缝)around,” he remembers.
He decided to move the ship deeper into the ice to keep safe. The farther in they went, he thought, the harder the ice would become. As they pushed forward, however, the ship experienced small waves, and then bigger ones.Soon, the waves broke up the ice around the ship into thousands of smaller pieces.
Within an hour, Marchenko and his team saw a wave that was about 13 feet high. The ship's navigation(航行) system finally recorded the largest waves.They were more than 20 feet in height. The waves were so strong that they forced huge pieces of ice to jump up and down, breaking the ice into smaller pieces within just one hour. Scientists had never imagined that the process could happen so fast. The waves in these areas used to be small.
The speed and force of the huge waves there makes it impossible to know in advance when they are coming. That could be dangerous for navigators and local communities who are unprepared for huge waves or depend on sea ice to protect them. Wildlife like polar bears and walruses that depend on sea ice to live is also in danger.
Some scientists think people will soon see even bigger waves in these icy waters.As waves break up ice, the seas will become more open, and the waves will get even stronger. There are stormy times ahead.
34.When did Marchenko and his students discover huge waves in the arctic waters

35.Why did Marchenko and his students set out on the trip

36.What did Marchenko decide to do to keep safe

答案
Ⅰ.1—5 ABDBC 6—10 DDCDB
11—12 BD
Ⅱ.[主旨大意] 本文为一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了从古代的农田耕作到现在的进城工作,工业革命改变了人们的生活,但也给地球带来了破坏。人们开始意识到保护我们赖以生存的地球的重要性,于是有了“地球日”,旨在呼吁每个人都参与到保护地球的行动中来。
13.C 动词辨析。separate意为“分离,分开”;wash意为“冲洗”;make意为“制作,制成”;mix意为“混合”。句意:他们用植物制作成布匹、染料和纸张。由句意可知选C。
14.D 介词辨析。由设空所在句子中的“and even later, by coal, oil, and petrol”可知,此处应填by,表方式、方法。
15.A
16.D 名词辨析。mountain意为“山脉”;river意为“河流”;grassland意为“草地”;farm意为“农场”。由第一段中“For thousands of years, people farmed the land.”及第二段中“Factories__15__of machines created jobs in the cities for thousands of people.”可知,更多的人在城里居住,而不在农场上了。
17.B 动词辨析。help意为“帮助”;harm意为“伤害”;waste意为“浪费”;lose意为“失去”。由本段最后一句“Their nature homes were destroyed as people moved into new places.”可知人类的这些活动正在伤害地球,
18.C 连词。before意为“在……之前”;if意为“如果,假如”;as意为“随着;由于”;though意为“尽管”。句意:________________________________________________________________________
城市变得越来越大,沿着陆地蔓延开来,植物和动物就开始消失了。由句意可知,主句与从句的动作是同时进行的,故应由as(随着)来引导,
19.B 动词辨析。forget意为“忘记”;see意为“看见,看到”;remember意为“记得”;get意为“得到”。句意:随着时间的流逝,人们开始________保护地球和自然资源的必要性。由句意可知B项符合句意。
20.D
Ⅲ.A 21.A 根据文章首段第一句“Want to know what we can do to help make our city a better place to live?”可知选A。
22.B 根据War on Graffiti 中“You don't need to bring any tools; just remember to wear some old clothes!”可知选B。

B 24—26 DCD
C 27.D 由第二段前三句“Shanghai has worked with Alipay to create a ‘green account’ service for its residents. Account holders get points by correctly sorting their garbage. Through the Alipay app, they can exchange the points for milk, phone cards and other products.”可知,上海已与支付宝合作鼓励人们垃圾分类。
28.C 由第七段第一、二句“China is improving its waste sorting efforts. There is still a long way to go.”可知,中国一直在改进垃圾分类,但是还有很长的路要走。
29.A
D [主旨大意] 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了Ashwath Hedge通过实验发明了一种可被人们和动物食用的包装袋,这种包装袋对环境不再有危害,易分解,特别是在水中被分解得更快。它虽然比普通塑料包装袋价格贵一点儿,但是其优点很多。这种包装袋可能是解决世界上塑料污染的有效办法。
30.B 段落大意题。通读第三段可知,该段主要介绍的是Ashwath Hedge四年来如何实验了12种天然物质,制作出这种环保包装袋的。
31.A 推理判断题。画线句子意为“Hedge在采访中很开心地展示了它,他把EnviGreen包装袋放在了水里,并微笑地吃掉了它”。故推断该包装袋安全无毒,人们可以食用,且分解得快。
32.C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It is also broken down in less than a day in water, and in less than a minute in boiling water.”可知,这种包装袋在沸水里被分解得最快,不到一分钟便被分解了。
33.D 推理判断题。通读最后一段可知,印度每天使用的大量塑料袋只有一半多被特殊处理过,不是全部被处理过,排除A选项;该段并未提到“在世界上印度的塑料废物最多”,排除B选项;印度塑料废物用的是重量单位,中国每天的塑料袋使用量用的是数量单位,二者无法直接比较,排除C选项;由最后一段最后一句可知,EnviGreen包装袋可能会帮助人们解决塑料污染问题。
Ⅳ.[主旨大意] 本文是一篇新闻报道。2010年5月科学家Aleksey Marchenko与他的学生在北冰洋考察时,发现北冰洋的海浪很大,这些海浪把巨冰打成碎片,这对航海家、野生动物和本地居住者是很危险的。

题目②
One possible version:
Dear Peter,
It's important to sort out waste properly in our daily life. We will go to Qingyuan Community at 9 o'clock this Sunday morning and have our waste sorting activity. In the community, we'll talk to people about the importance of waste sorting in our daily life. If we sort out recyclable things before throwing them away, the amount of trash will be reduced and less waste will be burned or buried. Then we will show people some posters that we designed by ourselves. That will teach them how to sort out waste correctly. At the waste recycling station, we'll help people sort out waste and put it into different trash bins. Each of us believes more and more people will form a good habit of waste sorting soon with our help.
Yours,
Li Hua
