Remember boiling tap water for drinking Who has the time now Instead, bottled water is everywhere, in offices, airplanes, stores, homes and restaurants. But what's in that bottle Beautiful names and labels depicting romantic scenes have convinced us that the liquid is the purest drink around. But given the lack of labeling requirements for bottled water, how much do consumers really know about what's in the bottle "The public should not assume that water purchased in a bottle, is better regulated purer, or safer than most tap water. Water utilities are required to tell the public more about the tap water than bottled water companies are," says Mae Wu, a bottled water (expert at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a nonprofit organization in the US devoted to protecting health and the environment. Sure, some bottled water comes from sparkling springs and other, sources. But in the US, alone, more than 25 percent of it comes from a municipal(市政的)supply. The water is treated, purified and sold to us, often at a thousand fold increase in price. Most people are surprised to learn that they are drinking glorified tap water, but bottlers aren't required to list the source on the label.
According to the Asian Bottled Water Association, water from municipal supply does not have to state on its label that it is from a community water system. However, there are some brands like Nestle Pure Life that indicate whether the water comes from public, private or deep well sources. Advertising can be misleading at best and deceptive at worst. In a recent case, a food and drink manufacturer boasted in a TV commercial that its mineral water came from a "high-quality water source" but it turned out that, that was no more than plain tap water.
The potential health risks are important to understand, but bottled water also affects the health of the planet. While we struggle to, cut down on our consumption of fossil fuels, bottled water increases it. Virgin petroleum(石油)is used to make PET, and the more bottles we use, the more virgin petroleum will be needed to create new bottles. Fossil fuels are burned to fill the bottles and distribute them. Some brands of water come from islands and countries thousands of kilometers away, and shipping bottles can cause carbon pollution to spill into the water and spew into the air.
12.Compared to the tap water, bottled water ____.
A.is much better, than the tap water
B.is better regulated, purer and safer
C.spends more money on advertisement
D.is required to list the source on the label
13.What can you infer from the second paragraph
A.We can never trust the TV commercials.
B.Advertisements on bottled water always cheat the audiences.
C.Some companies choose to state where the water comes from.
D.The government asks the company not to state the source of water.
14.How is the third paragraph organized
A.Through listing, figures.
B.Through making comparisons.
C.Through adding background information.
D.Through cause and effect argumentation.
15.What's the author's attitude towards the bottled water
A.Indifferent. B.Negative. C.Favorable. D.Ambiguous.

E-waste is a serious problem that isn't going to get better on its own. 16.
Maybe the biggest cause of our e-waste problem is the fact that we buy things that we just don't need. Next time you feel like you need a device or electronic item, stop yourself and ask if it is truly necessary. This is maybe also the easiest way we can manage e-waste. 17. If you don't keep your connectors, DVDs, wires and gadgets(小器具)organized, you won't be aware of what you have. When we buy duplicate electronics because we think we need them, we are contributing to our growing e-waste problem. "How to manage e-waste" becomes less of an issue when we keep our own houses in order.
If you do not need a piece of equipment and it is in good enough condition to be reused, donate it as soon as you can so that somebody else can use it. Donations are good for us because they are a useful way to get tax deductions(减税), and a lot of times that tax deduction will be close to the value of the item had you tried to sell it. 18. Some stores offer trade-in programs, where you can drop off your old equipment in return for gift cards.
There are also places to sell electronics that might be valuable to somebody else. Just be sure to sell them right away, because they lose value very rapidly in our changing market.
If you are frequently receiving memory sticks and little gadgets, collect them into a good-e-bag. 19. You might be surprised at how quickly it fills up. So be sure you are utilizing your materials and products thoughtfully. With these tips you can use DIY solutions to learn how to manage e-waste. 20.
A. Organize your electronics.
B. Don't buy too many gadgets.
C. Take your electronics back to the store.
D. Here are some do-it-yourself tips on how to manage e-waste.
E. Donation means a lot for people who are in need of electronic devices.

52.【答案】Dear Johnson,
My classmates and I took part in a wildness survival program from Thursday to Saturday last week. I can't wait to share some relevant details with you.
Before we started, we were equipped with a compass, a map, a first aid kit, tents, flashlights, some food, some clothes and so on. In the wild, we climbed three hills and swam across two rivers. But then we lost our way in the forest. Luckily, we found the right direction with the help of the compass. As soon as we arrived at the campsite, we put up out tents, made a fire and then started cooking. We also learned how to give first aid.
Through the program, we learned to use knowledge gained in class to solve problems. It was quite an unforgettable experience for me.
Yours,
Li Hua

Remember boiling tap water for drinking Who has the time now Instead, bottled water is everywhere, in offices, airplanes, stores, homes and restaurants. But what's in that bottle Beautiful names and labels depicting romantic scenes have convinced us that the liquid is the purest drink around. But given the lack of labeling requirements for bottled water, how much do consumers really know about what's in the bottle "The public should not assume that water purchased in a bottle, is better regulated purer, or safer than most tap water. Water utilities are required to tell the public more about the tap water than bottled water companies are," says Mae Wu, a bottled water (expert at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a nonprofit organization in the US devoted to protecting health and the environment. Sure, some bottled water comes from sparkling springs and other, sources. But in the US, alone, more than 25 percent of it comes from a municipal(市政的)supply. The water is treated, purified and sold to us, often at a thousand fold increase in price. Most people are surprised to learn that they are drinking glorified tap water, but bottlers aren't required to list the source on the label.
According to the Asian Bottled Water Association, water from municipal supply does not have to state on its label that it is from a community water system. However, there are some brands like Nestle Pure Life that indicate whether the water comes from public, private or deep well sources. Advertising can be misleading at best and deceptive at worst. In a recent case, a food and drink manufacturer boasted in a TV commercial that its mineral water came from a "high-quality water source" but it turned out that, that was no more than plain tap water.
The potential health risks are important to understand, but bottled water also affects the health of the planet. While we struggle to, cut down on our consumption of fossil fuels, bottled water increases it. Virgin petroleum(石油)is used to make PET, and the more bottles we use, the more virgin petroleum will be needed to create new bottles. Fossil fuels are burned to fill the bottles and distribute them. Some brands of water come from islands and countries thousands of kilometers away, and shipping bottles can cause carbon pollution to spill into the water and spew into the air.
12.Compared to the tap water, bottled water ____.
A.is much better, than the tap water
B.is better regulated, purer and safer
C.spends more money on advertisement
D.is required to list the source on the label
13.What can you infer from the second paragraph
A.We can never trust the TV commercials.
B.Advertisements on bottled water always cheat the audiences.
C.Some companies choose to state where the water comes from.
D.The government asks the company not to state the source of water.
14.How is the third paragraph organized
A.Through listing, figures.
B.Through making comparisons.
C.Through adding background information.
D.Through cause and effect argumentation.
15.What's the author's attitude towards the bottled water
A.Indifferent. B.Negative. C.Favorable. D.Ambiguous.
【答案】12.C
13.C

Dear Johnson,
【答案】Dear Johnson,
My classmates and I took part in a wildness survival program from Thursday to Saturday last week. I can't wait to share some relevant details with you.
Before we started, we were equipped with a compass, a map, a first aid kit, tents, flashlights, some food, some clothes and so on. In the wild, we climbed three hills and swam across two rivers. But then we lost our way in the forest. Luckily, we found the right direction with the help of the compass. As soon as we arrived at the campsite, we put up out tents, made a fire and then started cooking. We also learned how to give first aid.
Through the program, we learned to use knowledge gained in class to solve problems. It was quite an unforgettable experience for me.
Yours,
Li Hua
