Carson calls himself, a matchmaker of the never-ending waste of American society, trying not to pair people with people, but things with people.
For nearly ten years, his company, Repurposed Materials, has not been looking to recycle the waste he gets —breaking it down to make something new—but rather finding new homes for thrown-away goods in their original (原来的) forms.
In the late 1990s, Carson was on break from business school in Vail, Colorado, when he discovered the vast world of waste. He began thinking about creating a secondhand store that would sell old materials and keep them out of being wasted. Then, in 2010, his company, Repurposed Materials appeared.
Carson, a husband and father of three adult children, is far from wasteful. Frugal is how he describes himself. The clothes he’s wearing all came from a charity shop; the truck he drove was a secondhand one.
“Why break something down, why melt something down, if it still has value ” he asks. An old oil-field pipe might be melted down and turned into a car bumper, but it still takes an amount of power to finish the complete change. Why not leave it as a steel pipe Why not turn it into a fence post on a farm That way, the only cost is transport.
American industrial facilities create and throw about 7. 6 billion tons of unwanted industrial materials every year. For the moment, Carson’s unique business finds new lives for millions of kilograms of waste every year.
4. What does Repurposed Materials try to do
A. To collect the secondhand hardware. B. To find new homes for wasted goods.
C. To make something new with waste. D. To change the waste’s original forms.
5. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about

C. What led to Carson’s Repurposed Materials. D. Why Carson was interested in secondhand stuff.
6. How does Carson describe his life
A. Colorful. B. Rich. C. Fantastic. D. Simple.

Sound has a great influence on our physical and mental state; a good song can brighten up our mood immediately and a crying child can make you annoyed in seconds. So, there has to be a sound, a perfect frequency (频率) to get rid of our anxiety, right
Well, scientists have been examining different frequencies that may have positive effects on our health. Among these frequencies, 528 Hz has got wide attention during the last ten years because of its therapeutic functions. In various scientific studies, 528 Hz is known as the Miracle Frequency, or sometimes as Love Frequency. It has a calming effect on our nervous system and helps create a sense of relaxation that can beat anxiety.
Research has shown that when we put ourselves to 528 Hz frequency, it lowers heart rate and reduces stress while letting off serotonin in our body, which is in charge of optimism, happiness, and satisfaction.
Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese water researcher, did one of the most influential studies on the subject. He found that when water was exposed to 528 Hz music, it formed beautiful, regular crystals (晶体). Otherwise, it formed irregular crystals.
Dr. Emoto wrote, “528 Hz sound, or the Love Frequency is said to relax the mind and body deeply and repair DNA, helping humans become healthy. It is a true symbol of the spread of love.” Therefore, if we tune ourselves to 528 Hz frequency, we can make the most of its therapeutic benefits and overcome anxiety.
8. What does the underlined word “therapeutic” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Tiring. B. Exciting. C. Annoying. D. Relaxing.
9. What can the 528 Hz do
A. Slow heart rate. B. Create bad moods.
C. Increase inner stress. D. Lower blood pressure.
10. What can we learn about Dr. Emoto’s water study
A. 528Hz spread love to the researchers. B. 528Hz helped water form regular crystals.
C. 528Hz bothered researchers’ peaceful mind. D. 528Hz repaired the irregular form of water.
11. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the application of 528 Hz
A. Negative. B. Uninterested. C. Unclear. D. Optimistic.
D
Weeds and pests are “garden heroes” according to the Royal Horticultural Society.
The RHS is now encouraging gardeners to welcome weeds instead of considering them enemies. The rebranding(重塑形象)comes just in time for this year’s Chelsea Flower Show, held by the RHS. In the show 4 out of 12 of the gardens will include “weed heroes” as an important part, according to Sheila Das, the RHS Wisley garden manager.
“If you’ve got a weed”, says Das, “it’s telling you what’s going on underground. Your weed is your adviser. It’s your friend. So don’t treat weeds as troubles, something growing where they shouldn’t. They are actually plants in the right place”.
Nettles(荨麻草)let a gardener know that the soil is rich in nitrogen, and fat hen, a weed often considered “troublesome”, is a sign that an area is low in nutrients.
Until last year, the RHS published a yearly “pest” list, including snails and slugs. But this year, to be more “biodiversity(生物多样性)positive”, they’ve published a list of the most beneficial wildlife into our garden, and both snails and slugs are making a comeback.
Sheila Das noted our gardens would be a duller place without those unpopular ones. Apart from food for hedgehogs, frogs and birds, slugs and snails are excellent for recycling dead plant and animal waste, helping to keep soil healthy.
These are just the first steps towards the RHS’s goal towards better biodiversity. Sheila Das said, “The RHS has realized the role of gardens in supporting biodiversity and it will no longer call any garden wildlife as ‘pests’. Instead, there will be greater consideration of the role that weeds, slugs, and snails play in a balanced garden eco-system together with more popular wildlife such as birds, hedgehogs and frogs. ”
12. Why does the rebranding come in time for the show
A. The weeds’ gardens will win. B. The weed heroes will be known.
C. It will be popular worldwide. D. It will be an excellent competition.
13. What is Paragraph 3 used for
A. Giving examples. B. Introducing a topic.
C. Describing a scene. D. Making comparison
14. What are gardens like according to Sheila Das
A. They support a habitat for rich biodiversity.
B. They play a great part in wildlife protection.
C. They contain only popular weeds and insects.
D. They keep a balance between weeds and pests.
15. What is the best title of the text
A. Pests are good advisers. B. Weeds make a comeback.
C. Weeds and pests are our friends. D. Heroes will win the flower show.

Kindness of Strangers
We rely on a community where helping others is highly appreciated. When we need help, it creates a web that ties us together.
Years ago, I was in the kitchen getting dinner ready when my fourteen-year-old daughter, Cassandra, called me from her room. “Mom, can you help me get downstairs ”She had lung disease and depended on oxygen(氧气) twenty-four hours a day, so it was impossible for her to move up and down the stairs without help. I turned down the stove and ran upstairs to her room. Cassandra let out a sigh and closed her eyes.
“Mom, I wish it wasn’t so hard for me to climb the stairs. “
“I know, honey. We’ll try to solve the problem. “
A month earlier, a company introduced an electric stairlift (座椅电梯). My daughter could use this stairlift to go up and down stairs by herself without anyone helping her. Hearing the perfect product, our whole family was very excited and looking forward to it. The stairlift sounded wonderful because it would greatly improve my daughter’s life. Unluckily, we couldn’t afford it although John, my husband, even took two jobs to support the family.
So I decided to ask the local charity organization for help once again. They had lent us a wheelchair before we bought one. Maybe they could help with a stairlift, too. Gathering all my courage, I dialed the number of the charity organization. “This is Cassandra’s mother. Do you have a stairlift I could borrow ” I asked them hopefully. They hadn’t, but they promised to telephone us right away as soon as they got one. Then began our long wait.

Sound has a great influence on our physical and mental state; a good song can brighten up our mood immediately and a crying child can make you annoyed in seconds. So, there has to be a sound, a perfect frequency (频率) to get rid of our anxiety, right
Well, scientists have been examining different frequencies that may have positive effects on our health. Among these frequencies, 528 Hz has got wide attention during the last ten years because of its therapeutic functions. In various scientific studies, 528 Hz is known as the Miracle Frequency, or sometimes as Love Frequency. It has a calming effect on our nervous system and helps create a sense of relaxation that can beat anxiety.
Research has shown that when we put ourselves to 528 Hz frequency, it lowers heart rate and reduces stress while letting off serotonin in our body, which is in charge of optimism, happiness, and satisfaction.
Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese water researcher, did one of the most influential studies on the subject. He found that when water was exposed to 528 Hz music, it formed beautiful, regular crystals (晶体). Otherwise, it formed irregular crystals.
Dr. Emoto wrote, “528 Hz sound, or the Love Frequency is said to relax the mind and body deeply and repair DNA, helping humans become healthy. It is a true symbol of the spread of love.” Therefore, if we tune ourselves to 528 Hz frequency, we can make the most of its therapeutic benefits and overcome anxiety.
8. What does the underlined word “therapeutic” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Tiring. B. Exciting. C. Annoying. D. Relaxing.
9. What can the 528 Hz do
A. Slow heart rate. B. Create bad moods.
C. Increase inner stress. D. Lower blood pressure.
10. What can we learn about Dr. Emoto’s water study
A. 528Hz spread love to the researchers. B. 528Hz helped water form regular crystals.
C. 528Hz bothered researchers’ peaceful mind. D. 528Hz repaired the irregular form of water.
11. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the application of 528 Hz
A. Negative. B. Uninterested. C. Unclear. D. Optimistic.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了声音对我们的身体和精神状态有很大的影响，其中528赫兹的声音具有治疗功能。介绍了其具体的好处以及应用。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“It has a calming effect on our nervous system and helps create a sense of relaxation that can beat anxiety. (它对我们的神经系统有镇静作用，有助于创造一种放松的感觉，可以打败焦虑)”可知，528赫兹具有令人放松的功能。故划线词意思是“令人放松的”，故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Research has shown that when we put ourselves to 528 Hz frequency, it lowers heart rate and reduces stress while letting off serotonin in our body, which is in charge of optimism, happiness, and satisfaction. (研究表明，当我们把自己置于528赫兹的频率时，它会降低心率，减轻压力，同时释放体内的血清素，这种血清素负责乐观，快乐和满足感。)”可知，528赫兹能让心率慢下来。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“He found that when water was exposed to 528 Hz music, it formed beautiful, regular crystals (晶体). (他发现，当水暴露在528赫兹的音乐中时，它会形成美丽的、规则的晶体。)”可知，江本博士的水研究告诉我们528赫兹有助于水形成规则的晶体。故选B。

Weeds and pests are “garden heroes” according to the Royal Horticultural Society.
The RHS is now encouraging gardeners to welcome weeds instead of considering them enemies. The rebranding(重塑形象)comes just in time for this year’s Chelsea Flower Show, held by the RHS. In the show 4 out of 12 of the gardens will include “weed heroes” as an important part, according to Sheila Das, the RHS Wisley garden manager.
“If you’ve got a weed”, says Das, “it’s telling you what’s going on underground. Your weed is your adviser. It’s your friend. So don’t treat weeds as troubles, something growing where they shouldn’t. They are actually plants in the right place”.
Nettles(荨麻草)let a gardener know that the soil is rich in nitrogen, and fat hen, a weed often considered “troublesome”, is a sign that an area is low in nutrients.
Until last year, the RHS published a yearly “pest” list, including snails and slugs. But this year, to be more “biodiversity(生物多样性)positive”, they’ve published a list of the most beneficial wildlife into our garden, and both snails and slugs are making a comeback.
Sheila Das noted our gardens would be a duller place without those unpopular ones. Apart from food for hedgehogs, frogs and birds, slugs and snails are excellent for recycling dead plant and animal waste, helping to keep soil healthy.
These are just the first steps towards the RHS’s goal towards better biodiversity. Sheila Das said, “The RHS has realized the role of gardens in supporting biodiversity and it will no longer call any garden wildlife as ‘pests’. Instead, there will be greater consideration of the role that weeds, slugs, and snails play in a balanced garden eco-system together with more popular wildlife such as birds, hedgehogs and frogs. ”
12. Why does the rebranding come in time for the show
A. The weeds’ gardens will win. B. The weed heroes will be known.
C. It will be popular worldwide. D. It will be an excellent competition.
13. What is Paragraph 3 used for
A. Giving examples. B. Introducing a topic.
C. Describing a scene. D. Making comparison
14. What are gardens like according to Sheila Das
A. They support a habitat for rich biodiversity.
B. They play a great part in wildlife protection.
C. They contain only popular weeds and insects.
D. They keep a balance between weeds and pests.
15. What is the best title of the text
A. Pests are good advisers. B. Weeds make a comeback.
C. Weeds and pests are our friends. D. Heroes will win the flower show.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. C

Your weed is your adviser.( 如果你有一根大麻，它会告诉你地下发生了什么。你的大麻是你的顾问)”可知，本段是举一个例子说明被认为是杂草的植物可以成为你的顾问，告诉你的土壤情况。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Sheila Das noted our gardens would be a duller place without those unpopular ones. Apart from food for hedgehogs, frogs and birds, slugs and snails are excellent for recycling dead plant and animal waste, helping to keep soil healthy. (希拉·达斯指出，如果没有这些不受欢迎的植物，我们的花园会变得更加沉闷。蛞蝓和蜗牛除了是刺猬、青蛙和鸟类的食物外，还能很好地回收死去的植物和动物粪便，帮助保持土壤健康)”及最后一段“The RHS has realized the role of gardens in supporting biodiversity and it will no longer call any garden wildlife as ‘pests’. Instead, there will be greater consideration of the role that weeds, slugs, and snails play in a balanced garden eco-system together with more popular wildlife such as birds, hedgehogs and frogs. (RHS已经意识到花园在支持生物多样性方面的作用，它将不再把任何花园里的野生动物称为‘害虫’。相反，人们会更多地考虑杂草、蛞蝓和蜗牛与鸟类、刺猬和青蛙等更受欢迎的野生动物在平衡的花园生态系统中所扮演的角色)”可知，根据Sheila Das的说法，花园应该是支持生物物种多样性的地方，也就是允许一些所谓的杂草或害虫的存在。故选A项。

Dear Tom,
I’m writing to tell you something about my new school life. I love my school very much, which is big and beautiful. What’s more, all the teachers and students are friendly and enthusiastic.
However, I find it a little hard to get used to the senior school life. The subjects we are learning are obviously more difficult, especially English. Besides, with endless homework to do, I almost have no time for exercise and other activities. I feel greatly stressed. I wonder if you have ever had such trouble. I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice.
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Kindness of Strangers
We rely on a community where helping others is highly appreciated. When we need help, it creates a web that ties us together.
Years ago, I was in the kitchen getting dinner ready when my fourteen-year-old daughter, Cassandra, called me from her room. “Mom, can you help me get downstairs ”She had lung disease and depended on oxygen(氧气) twenty-four hours a day, so it was impossible for her to move up and down the stairs without help. I turned down the stove and ran upstairs to her room. Cassandra let out a sigh and closed her eyes.
“Mom, I wish it wasn’t so hard for me to climb the stairs. “
“I know, honey. We’ll try to solve the problem. “
A month earlier, a company introduced an electric stairlift (座椅电梯). My daughter could use this stairlift to go up and down stairs by herself without anyone helping her. Hearing the perfect product, our whole family was very excited and looking forward to it. The stairlift sounded wonderful because it would greatly improve my daughter’s life. Unluckily, we couldn’t afford it although John, my husband, even took two jobs to support the family.
So I decided to ask the local charity organization for help once again. They had lent us a wheelchair before we bought one. Maybe they could help with a stairlift, too. Gathering all my courage, I dialed the number of the charity organization. “This is Cassandra’s mother. Do you have a stairlift I could borrow ” I asked them hopefully. They hadn’t, but they promised to telephone us right away as soon as they got one. Then began our long wait.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Ten days later, we finally received the call. The voice on the phone belonged to a stranger who, upon hearing our situation, donated their own used stairlift to us. I was overwhelmed with gratitude, but also a little hesitant. But this stranger insisted that they were happy to help, and that they wanted nothing in return. As the stairlift was installed in our home, I couldn't help but reflect on the kindness of strangers. The web of community connected us to people we had never met before. This gift not only brought ease and comfort to my daughter's life, but it also renewed my faith in the power of kindness and the importance of generosity.
