One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and this is exactly the case in Turkey where garbage collectors started collecting abandoned books and ended up opening a library.
It started when garbage man Durson Ipek found a bag of abandoned books when he was working and then it snowballed from there. Ipek and other garbage men started gathering the books they found on the streets that were ready for landfills (垃圾填埋场) and as their collection started to grow, so did word of mouth. Soon, local residents started donating books directly. At first the library was only accessible to the garbage employees and their families but as the collection grew, so did public interest and the library was opened to the public in 2017.
“On the one hand, there were those who were leaving these books on the streets. On the other hand, others were looking for these books,” Ankaya mayor Alper Tasdelen told CNN. “We started to discuss the idea of creating a library from these books and with everyone’s support, the project became a reality.”
All the books that are found are carefully sorted and checked for condition. If they’re up to standard, they’ll go on to the shelves. Today, the library has over 6,000 books that range from fiction to nonfiction and there’s a very popular children’s section that even has a collection of comic books. Additionally, there is a section specially set aside for book types of scientific research and books there are available in both English and French. The collection has grown so large that the library lends books to schools and educational programs.
“Village school teachers from all over Turkey are requesting books,” Tasdelen told CNN. The government has to hire a full-time employee to manage the library.
This library is incredibly popular. It is frequently filled with the children of the city’s workers and students from nearby schools. There is a waiting room set up for readers and chess boards for the people who visit the library. You can even enjoy a cup of tea in the waiting room.
4. How did the library attract public interest and support
A. By offering free tea for visitors.
B. By organizing chess matches.
C. Through word-of-mouth and book donations.
D. By cooperating with nearby schools.
5 What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the library
A. Its great popularity. B. Its potential importance.
C. Its huge collection of books. D. Its wide variety of readers.
6. Why did the government hire a full-time employee
A. To raise people’s awareness of recycling.
B. To classify and check the donated books.
C. To expand the social influence of the library.
D. To meet the huge demand from rural teachers.
7. What can be inferred about the library from the last paragraph
A. It’s an excellent place to enjoy tea. B. It’s crowded with readers every day.
C. It needs to improve its management. D. It provides a very considerate service.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. D

Soon, local residents started donating books directly.(Ipek和其他垃圾处理工开始收集他们在街上发现的准备填埋的书籍，随着他们的收集量开始增加，口碑也开始增加。很快，当地居民开始直接捐书。)”可知，该图书馆通过口碑和图书捐赠吸引公众的兴趣和支持。故选C项。

(所有找到的书都经过仔细的分类和检查。如果它们达到标准，就会上架。如今，图书馆有6000多本书，从小说到非小说，还有一个非常受欢迎的儿童区，甚至收藏了漫画书。此外，还有一个专门为科学研究书籍类型留出的部分，那里有英文和法文两种版本的书籍。藏书越来越多，以至于图书馆把书借给学校和教育项目。)”可知，第四段主要介绍了该图书馆收藏了大量的书籍。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“‘Village school teachers from all over Turkey are requesting books,’ Tasdelen told CNN. The government has to hire a full-time employee to manage the library. (Tasdelen 告诉CNN：‘来自土耳其各地的乡村学校老师都在索要书籍。’ 政府必须雇用一名全职雇员来管理图书馆)”可推知，乡村学校的教师经常会前往图书馆借书，因此，政府不得不雇用一位全职员工来管理图书馆，以满足教师对书籍的需求。故选D项。

When someone sets out to improve their health, they usually take a familiar path: starting a healthy diet, adopting a new workout plan, getting better sleep, or drinking more water. Each of these behaviors is important, of course, but they all focus on physical health and a growing body of research suggests that social health is just as, if not more, important to overall well-being.
A recent study found that the strength of a person’s social circle -- as measured by cell phone activity -- was a better predictor of self-reported stress, happiness and well-being levels than fitness tracker data on physical activity, heart rate and sleep. That finding suggests that the “quantified self” presented by endless amounts of health data doesn’t tell the whole story, says study co-author Nitesh Chawla.
“There’s a qualified self, which is who I am, what my activities, my social network, my lifestyle, and my enjoyment are. All of these aspects are not reflected in any of these measurements,” Chawla says. “And they are strong determinants of my well-being.”
A 2019 study set out to determine what’s driving those high rates of loneliness and found that social media, when used so much that it occupied face-to-face quality time, was tied to greater loneliness. Gender and income didn’t seem to have a strong effect, but loneliness tended to decrease with age, perhaps because of the wisdom and perspective afforded by years of life lived, says Dr. Stuart Lustig, one of the report’s authors.
Lustig emphasizes that we should use technology “to seek out meaningful connections and people that you are able to keep in your social sphere (范围). It’s easy enough to find groups such as Meetups, which regularly organize offline gatherings, providing members with opportunities to interact, share, and participate in various activities in real life. Or through social media, you can find places to go where you’ll find folks doing what you want to do.” That advice is particularly important for young people, he says, for whom heavy social media use is common.
Finally, Lustig stresses that even small social changes can have a large impact. Striking up post-meeting conversations with co-workers, or even engaging in micro-interactions with strangers, can make your social life feel more rewarding.
8. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 1
A. To show social health is ignored by some people.
B. To show social people like to do workouts with others.
C. To prove many people tend to follow suit to improve their health.
D. To prove more and more people have benefited from physical exercise.
9. What do we learn about fitness tracker data according to paragraph 2
A. They are out of date.
B. They are not scientific.
C. They can help realize the “qualified self”.
D. They cannot reflect one’s overall health.
10. What did the 2019 study find
A. Females feel happy more easily than males.
B. Old people felt lonelier than young people.
C. The overuse of social media could lead to loneliness.
D. Income had a great influence on people’s well-being.
11. What advice does Dr. Stuart Lustig give
A. Avoiding talking to strangers.
B. Using social media as little as possible.
C. Using technology for meaningful interactions.
D. Spending more time with like-minded young people.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了社会健康与身体健康同等重要。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“Each of these behaviors is important, of course, but they all focus on physical health and a growing body of research suggests that social health is just as, if not more, important to overall well-being.”（当然，这些行为都很重要，但它们都关注身体健康，越来越多的研究表明，社会健康对整体健康同样重要，如果不是更重要的话。）可知，人们更多地关注身体健康，没有意识到社会健康的重要性。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A recent study found that the strength of a person’s social circle -- as measured by cell phone activity -- was a better predictor of self-reported stress, happiness and well-being levels than fitness tracker data on physical activity, heart rate and sleep. That finding suggests that the “quantified self” presented by endless amounts of health data doesn’t tell the whole story, says study co-author Nitesh Chawla.”（最近的一项研究发现，一个人的社交圈的强度——通过手机活动来衡量——比健身追踪器的体力活动、心率和睡眠数据更能预测自我报告的压力、幸福和幸福水平。该研究的合著者Nitesh Chawla说，这一发现表明，由无数健康数据呈现的“量化自我”并不能说明问题的全部。）可知，健身追踪器数据并不能全面地反映健康问题。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“A 2019 study set out to determine what’s driving those high rates of loneliness and found that social media, when used so much that it occupied face-to-face quality time, was tied to greater loneliness.”（2019年的一项研究旨在确定是什么导致了如此高的孤独感，并发现社交媒体使用过多，占用了面对面的高质量时间，与更大的孤独感有关。）说明过度使用社交媒体可能会导致孤独。故选C项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“Lustig emphasizes that we should use technology “to seek out meaningful connections and people that you are able to keep in your social sphere”（Lustig强调，我们应该利用科技“寻找有意义的联系，以及在你的社交圈子里能够保持联系的人。）可知，Dr. Stuart Lustig认为我们应该利用科技进行有意义的互动。故选C项。
D
Humans’ light at night does not spare even the sea from its glare (强光). Researchers published the first global map of ocean light pollution. It shows large parts of the sea are lit up at night. And that risks confusing or disrupting the behaviors of sea life.
Tim Smyth led a team to research the areas of the ocean where light pollution is strongest. Smyth and his colleagues started with a world map of man-made night-sky brightness that had been created in 2016. Then they added data on the ocean and atmosphere. Some data came from shipboard measurements of man-made light in the water. Others came from satellite images that judge how clear the water is. Particles (微粒) in the water, such as tiny floating plants and animals, can affect how far downward light travels. These factors vary from place to place and may change with the seasons. The team also used computers to copy how different wavelengths of light move through water.
Next, they wanted to know how that underwater light might affect animals. Not all species will be easily affected. The team focused on copepods (桡足亚纲甲壳动物). These common creatures are a key part of many ocean food chains. They use light as a signal to move all together to the dark deep, seeking safety from other surface creatures. Normally they use the sun or the winter moon as their signal. Too much man-made light can mess up their usual patterns.
Light pollution is strongest in about three feet of the water. Here, man-made light can be strong enough to confuse the copepods. Nearly 2 million square kilometers of ocean get such strong night light. That’s an area about the size of Mexico. Farther down, the light gets weaker. But even 65 feet deep, it’s still bright enough to bother copepods across 840,000 square kilometers of ocean.
The team published its findings on December 13 in Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene.
12. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 1
A. Upsetting. B. Observing. C. Ensuring. D. Protecting.
13. What do we know about copepods from the passage
A. They are main eaters of other creatures.
B. They are not affected by underwater light.
C. They can escape attacks with the help of light.
D. They can weaken the effect of man-made light.
14. How does the author show the seriousness of light pollution in Paragraph 4
A. By stating opinions. B. By listing numbers.
C. By raising questions. D. By giving reasons.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Light Pollution from Sea Life B. Living Conditions of Copepods
C. Discoveries of Copepods D. Light Pollution Even in Sea
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是海洋中也有光污染以及光污染对海洋生物的影响。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段的“It shows large parts of the sea are lit up at night. And that risks confusing(它显示了大片海域在夜间被点亮。这可能会使困惑)”和“the behaviors of sea life(海洋生物的行为)”可知，划线词所在的句子表示“大片海域在夜间被点亮。这可能会混淆或扰乱海洋生物的行为”，因此划线词disrupting的意思是“扰乱”，和upset意思相近。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“They use light as a signal to move all together to the dark deep, seeking safety from other surface creatures. (它们用光作为信号，一起移动到黑暗的深处，寻求远离其他表面生物的安全地方)”可知，桡足亚纲甲壳动物动物可以在光的帮助下躲避攻击。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Nearly 2 million square kilometers of ocean get such strong night light. That’s an area about the size of Mexico. Farther down, the light gets weaker. But even 65 feet deep, it’s still bright enough to bother copepods across 840,000 square kilometers of ocean.(近200万平方公里的海洋受到如此强烈的夜光照射。这是一个相当于墨西哥大小的地区。越往下，光线就越弱。但即使是65英尺深，它仍然足够明亮，足以困扰84万平方公里海洋中的桡足类动物)”可推知，作者在第四段通过列出数字来展示光污染的严重性。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Humans’ light at night does not spare even the sea from its glare(强光). Researchers published the first global map of ocean light pollution. It shows large parts of the sea are lit up at night. And that risks confusing or disrupting the behaviors of sea life.(人类夜晚的光线即使是大海也无法免受其眩光。研究人员发表了第一张全球海洋光污染地图。它显示了大海的大部分在夜晚被点亮。这可能会混淆或扰乱海洋生物的行为)”可知，本文主要讲的是光污染对海洋生物的影响。由此可知，D项Light Pollution Even in Sea(海洋中的光污染)适合作本文标题。故选D项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍索尼公司一款用屏幕作为扬声器的电视。
36题详解】
考查连词。句意：虽然随着平板电视的发展，图像质量有了很大的提高，但声音却大不如前。根据语境可知，句子表示“虽然随着平板电视的发展，图像质量有了很大的提高，但声音却大不如前”，空格处意为“虽然”，是although/though/while，引导让步状语从句，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Although/Though/While。
【37题详解】
考查不定式。句意：问题在于，屏幕变薄的电视没有足够的空间安装合适的扬声器，无论是在背面还是在框内。be fitted to是固定短语，意为“适合于”，空格处用不定式作后置定语，因此空格处是to be fitted。故填to be fitted。
【38题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：问题在于，屏幕变薄的电视没有足够的空间安装合适的扬声器，无论是在背面还是在框内。either...or...是固定搭配，意为“要么……要么……”，故填or。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这种电视通常连接到外部音响系统，如条形音箱或家庭影院系统，以使其音质更好。system是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，external是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an，故填an。

【42题详解】
考查不定式。句意：索尼是第一家开发所谓“声学表面”的公司。company前有序数词first，空格处用不定式作后置定语，故填to develop。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：与传统屏幕不同，这种屏幕直接发光，这意味着它能够更灵活地振动。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，主语是前面整个主句的内容，因此空格处用which引导定语从句，故填which。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：与传统屏幕不同，这种屏幕直接发光，这意味着它能够更灵活地振动。空格处用副词修饰动词vibrate，flexible的副词是flexibly，意为“灵活地”，和前面的more构成比较级，故填flexibly。
45题详解】
考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：一个有益的结果是，节目的音乐直接向观众播放，而不是从侧面播放。音乐是被播放，句子描述客观事实，因此空格处用一般现在时的被动语态，主语music是不可数名词，因此空格处是is broadcast，故填is broadcast。

We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter. I was shy and had trouble making friends. But Susan drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile. Thanks to Susan. I was happy every day.
In senior high school, Susan went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon and I will write to you as soon as I arrive.” she told me. But I didn’t get her phone call nor receive any mail from her. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey, making my hope of seeing Susan impossible.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and this is exactly the case in Turkey where garbage collectors started collecting abandoned books and ended up opening a library.
It started when garbage man Durson Ipek found a bag of abandoned books when he was working and then it snowballed from there. Ipek and other garbage men started gathering the books they found on the streets that were ready for landfills (垃圾填埋场) and as their collection started to grow, so did word of mouth. Soon, local residents started donating books directly. At first the library was only accessible to the garbage employees and their families but as the collection grew, so did public interest and the library was opened to the public in 2017.
“On the one hand, there were those who were leaving these books on the streets. On the other hand, others were looking for these books,” Ankaya mayor Alper Tasdelen told CNN. “We started to discuss the idea of creating a library from these books and with everyone’s support, the project became a reality.”
All the books that are found are carefully sorted and checked for condition. If they’re up to standard, they’ll go on to the shelves. Today, the library has over 6,000 books that range from fiction to nonfiction and there’s a very popular children’s section that even has a collection of comic books. Additionally, there is a section specially set aside for book types of scientific research and books there are available in both English and French. The collection has grown so large that the library lends books to schools and educational programs.
“Village school teachers from all over Turkey are requesting books,” Tasdelen told CNN. The government has to hire a full-time employee to manage the library.
This library is incredibly popular. It is frequently filled with the children of the city’s workers and students from nearby schools. There is a waiting room set up for readers and chess boards for the people who visit the library. You can even enjoy a cup of tea in the waiting room.
4. How did the library attract public interest and support
A. By offering free tea for visitors.
B. By organizing chess matches.
C. Through word-of-mouth and book donations.
D. By cooperating with nearby schools.
5. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the library
A. Its great popularity. B. Its potential importance.
C. Its huge collection of books. D. Its wide variety of readers.
6. Why did the government hire a full-time employee
A. To raise people’s awareness of recycling.
B. To classify and check the donated books.
C. To expand the social influence of the library.
D. To meet the huge demand from rural teachers.
7. What can be inferred about the library from the last paragraph
A. It’s an excellent place to enjoy tea. B. It’s crowded with readers every day.
C. It needs to improve its management. D. It provides a very considerate service.
C
When someone sets out to improve their health, they usually take a familiar path: starting a healthy diet, adopting a new workout plan, getting better sleep, or drinking more water. Each of these behaviors is important, of course, but they all focus on physical health and a growing body of research suggests that social health is just as, if not more, important to overall well-being.
A recent study found that the strength of a person’s social circle -- as measured by cell phone activity -- was a better predictor of self-reported stress, happiness and well-being levels than fitness tracker data on physical activity, heart rate and sleep. That finding suggests that the “quantified self” presented by endless amounts of health data doesn’t tell the whole story, says study co-author Nitesh Chawla.
“There’s a qualified self, which is who I am, what my activities, my social network, my lifestyle, and my enjoyment are. All of these aspects are not reflected in any of these measurements,” Chawla says. “And they are strong determinants of my well-being.”
A 2019 study set out to determine what’s driving those high rates of loneliness and found that social media, when used so much that it occupied face-to-face quality time, was tied to greater loneliness. Gender and income didn’t seem to have a strong effect, but loneliness tended to decrease with age, perhaps because of the wisdom and perspective afforded by years of life lived, says Dr. Stuart Lustig, one of the report’s authors.
Lustig emphasizes that we should use technology “to seek out meaningful connections and people that you are able to keep in your social sphere (范围). It’s easy enough to find groups such as Meetups, which regularly organize offline gatherings, providing members with opportunities to interact, share, and participate in various activities in real life. Or through social media, you can find places to go where you’ll find folks doing what you want to do.” That advice is particularly important for young people, he says, for whom heavy social media use is common.
Finally, Lustig stresses that even small social changes can have a large impact. Striking up post-meeting conversations with co-workers, or even engaging in micro-interactions with strangers, can make your social life feel more rewarding.
8. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 1
A. To show social health is ignored by some people.
B. To show social people like to do workouts with others.
C. To prove many people tend to follow suit to improve their health.
D. To prove more and more people have benefited from physical exercise.
9. What do we learn about fitness tracker data according to paragraph 2
A. They are out of date.
B. They are not scientific.
C. They can help realize the “qualified self”.
D. They cannot reflect one’s overall health.
10 What did the 2019 study find
A. Females feel happy more easily than males.
B. Old people felt lonelier than young people.
C. The overuse of social media could lead to loneliness.
D. Income had a great influence on people’s well-being.
11. What advice does Dr. Stuart Lustig give
A. Avoiding talking to strangers.
B. Using social media as little as possible.
C. Using technology for meaningful interactions.
D. Spending more time with like-minded young people.
D
Humans’ light at night does not spare even the sea from its glare (强光). Researchers published the first global map of ocean light pollution. It shows large parts of the sea are lit up at night. And that risks confusing or disrupting the behaviors of sea life.
Tim Smyth led a team to research the areas of the ocean where light pollution is strongest. Smyth and his colleagues started with a world map of man-made night-sky brightness that had been created in 2016. Then they added data on the ocean and atmosphere. Some data came from shipboard measurements of man-made light in the water. Others came from satellite images that judge how clear the water is. Particles (微粒) in the water, such as tiny floating plants and animals, can affect how far downward light travels. These factors vary from place to place and may change with the seasons. The team also used computers to copy how different wavelengths of light move through water.
Next they wanted to know how that underwater light might affect animals. Not all species will be easily affected. The team focused on copepods (桡足亚纲甲壳动物). These common creatures are a key part of many ocean food chains. They use light as a signal to move all together to the dark deep, seeking safety from other surface creatures. Normally they use the sun or the winter moon as their signal. Too much man-made light can mess up their usual patterns.
Light pollution is strongest in about three feet of the water. Here, man-made light can be strong enough to confuse the copepods. Nearly 2 million square kilometers of ocean get such strong night light. That’s an area about the size of Mexico. Farther down, the light gets weaker. But even 65 feet deep, it’s still bright enough to bother copepods across 840,000 square kilometers of ocean.
The team published its findings on December 13 in Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene.
12. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 1
A. Upsetting. B. Observing. C. Ensuring. D. Protecting.
13. What do we know about copepods from the passage
A. They are main eaters of other creatures.
B. They are not affected by underwater light.
C. They can escape attacks with the help of light.
D. They can weaken the effect of man-made light.
14. How does the author show the seriousness of light pollution in Paragraph 4
A. By stating opinions. B. By listing numbers.
C. By raising questions. D. By giving reasons.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Light Pollution from Sea Life B. Living Conditions of Copepods
C. Discoveries of Copepods D. Light Pollution Even in Sea

One day, my 10-year-old Jane said, “Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow ” Her words made me extremely happy because Jane was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell.
“Sure, honey, that sounds great.” I said, thinking back to my own childhood best friend, Susan. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter. I was shy and had trouble making friends. But Susan drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile. Thanks to Susan. I was happy every day.
In senior high school, Susan went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon and I will write to you as soon as I arrive.” she told me. But I didn’t get her phone call nor receive any mail from her. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey, making my hope of seeing Susan impossible.
Whenever I thought of her, tears came into my eyes.
