第二部分 阅读理解(共两节, 满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分37. 5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
A road trip is not just about taking in the scenery through the car windscreen. Instead, the changes in location let you increase the scope of your holiday. Here are four recommended routes.
CCR 200
It is a new coastal road trip showing off the hidden side of the Lake District. The route takes in various nature reserves as well as other attractions like beaches and castles. The road trip is aimed at campers of all kinds and has been divided into five sections that can each be done in a day.
The Explorer’s Road
The Road extends almost the entire length of eastern England, featuring some of the country’s hidden treasures and finest attractions. Along the way you can explore stunning beaches, spectacular countryside and historic landmarks, with plenty of campsites lining the route.
South West Coastal 300
The South West Coastal 300 is around the southwest of Scotland. It’s a fantastic way to discover one of the UK’s hidden treasures. Inland, there are demanding hills that provide a steep one to walkers and climbers, not to mention hundreds of square miles of forestry and rolling countryside where cycling enthusiasts can clock up the miles.
Atlantic Highway
The route roughly follows the line of the Atlantic coast. There are picturesque village views and you certainly won’t be short of things to see or do. And there is no shortage of stopovers. The only downside is that the roads round here are extremely busy occasionally, so if you want a more stress-free trip, try heading down out of summer.
1. Which road trip best suits those who enjoy challenges
A. CCR 200 B. The Explorer’s Road.
C. South West Coastal 300. D. Atlantic Highway.
2. What is one shared feature of CCR 200 and The Explorer’s Road
A. Lesser-known aspects. B. Popular beaches and castles.
C. Landmarks with a long history. D. Newly-developed nature reserves.
3. What is the disadvantage of Atlantic Highway
A. It closes in summer. B. Its views are limited.
C. It charges for stopovers. D. It is crowded sometimes.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四条推荐的公路路线以及各自的特点。

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据CCR 200部分中“It is a new coastal road trip showing off the hidden side of the Lake District.(这是一个新的沿海公路之旅，展示了湖区隐秘的一面)”以及The Explorer’s Road部分中“The Road extends almost the entire length of eastern England, featuring some of the country’s hidden treasures and finest attractions.(这条路几乎延伸了整个英格兰东部，以该国一些隐藏的宝藏和最好的景点为特色)”可知，CCR 200和The Explorer’s Road的共同之处是都有鲜为人知的方面。故选A。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The only downside is that the roads round here are extremely busy occasionally, so if you want a more stress-free trip, try heading down out of summer.(唯一的缺点是这里的道路偶尔会非常繁忙，所以如果你想要一个更无压力的旅行，试着在夏天去)”可知，大西洋高速公路的缺点是有时很拥挤。故选D。
B
Most people have heard of Shakespeare and probably know something of the plays that he wrote. However, not everybody knows much about the life of this remarkable man, except perhaps that he was born in the market town of Stratford upon Avon and that he married a woman called Anne Hathaway. We know nothing of his school life. We do not know, for example, how long it lasted, but we presume that he attended the local grammar school, where the principal subject taught was Latin.
Nothing certain is known for what he did between the time he left school and his departure for London. According to a local legend, he was beaten and even put in prison for stealing rabbits and deer from the estate of a neighboring landowner, Sir Thomas Lucy. It is said that because of this he was forced to run away from his native place. A different legend says that he was apprenticed to a Stratford butcher, but did not like the life and for this reason decided to leave Stratford.
Whatever caused him to leave the town of his birth, the world can be grateful that he did so. What is certain is that he set his foot on the road to fame when he arrived in London. It is said that at first he had no money or friends there, but that he earned a little by taking care of the horses of the gentlemen who attended the plays at the theatre. In time, as he became a familiar figure to the actors in the theatre, they stopped and spoke to him. They found his conversation so brilliant that finally he was invited to join their company.
4. In the early life of Shakespeare, he ________, supposedly.
A. attended a public school B. lived in London C. studied Latin D. was put in prison for stealing cattle
5. Why was he forced to leave his native place according to this passage
A. Because he did not want to go to school. B. Because he left for London to become famous.
C. Because he had stolen deer and was beaten. D. No one knows for certain.
6. Why can the world be grateful that he left his hometown
A. Because he wrote many world-famous plays B. Because he became a good rider in London.
C. Because he was an actor at last in London. D. Because he travelled all over the world.
7. The underlined phrase “In time” in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A. on time B. sometimes C. some time later D. some time
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了莎士比亚到伦敦前的早期生活。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“We do not know, for example, how long it lasted, but we presume that he attended the local grammar school, where the principal subject taught was Latin.(例如，我们不知道这段经历持续了多久，但我们推测他上的是当地的文法学校，那里教授的主要科目是拉丁语。)”可知，据说莎士比亚早期学习了拉丁语。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Whatever caused him to leave the town of his birth, the world can be grateful that he did so.(不管是什么原因导致他离开了他出生的小镇，全世界都应该感激他这么做了。)”可知，没有人确切知道莎士比亚为什么被迫离开他的家乡。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Whatever caused him to leave the town of his birth, the world can be grateful that he did so. What is certain is that he set his foot on the road to fame when he arrived in London.(不管是什么原因导致他离开了他出生的小镇，全世界都应该感激他这么做了。可以肯定的是，他一到伦敦就踏上了成名之路。)”可推知，正是因为莎士比亚离开了他出生的小镇，到了伦敦，他才成为了我们所知道的莎士比亚，创作了许多举世闻名的戏剧，所以世界会感激他离开了他的家乡。故选A项。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。划线短语后“as he became a familiar figure to the actors in the theatre, they stopped and spoke to him. They found his conversation so brilliant that finally he was invited to join their company.(剧院里的演员都熟悉他了，他们都停下来跟他说话。他们发现他的谈话非常精彩，最后他被邀请加入他们的公司。)”承接上文，讲述了莎士比亚到达伦敦后，加入公司的过程。划线短语意为“渐渐地；一些时日后”，作时间状语，与some time later同义。故选C项。
C
The area in front of Janet and Jeffrey Crouch’s house in Columbia, Maryland, does not look usual for their neighbourhood. That is because the Crouches do not have a grass lawn(草坪). Instead, they have some small trees and many native plants.
In recent years, support for replacing lawns with native plants has been increasing in the US. It can be costly to keep a lawn looking good and green. But the Crouches had to spend much more money for the right not to have one.
People living in a house next to them complained to their homeowner’s association, or HOA. HOAs can make rules about the plants that homeowners in a neighbourhood are permitted to grow. Many HOAs require grass lawns. The HOA ordered the Crouches to pull out their native plants and put in grass. However, they refused. “We knew we were doing things that were beneficial for the environment, ” said Janet Crouch.
Lawns are called environmental dead zones in part because they provide no food or shelter for wildlife. They also do not support pollinators like birds, bees, and butterflies. Bee populations have been getting smaller in North America and may be getting smaller around the world.
There are other reasons that lawns are bad for the environment. They require a lot of water and chemicals. Large amounts of water can remove nutrients from the soil. After the water removes the nutrients, people buy even more chemicals to put on their lawns. Scientists say some of these chemicals might cause cancer and other health problems. There are over 16million hectares of grass lawns in the US. That means lawns use more water than any other irrigated(灌溉)crop in the country.
The Crouches’ battle against their HOA took three years. They say they spent $60, 000 fighting to keep their natural garden. They won. Because of their efforts, the state of Maryland passed a law that lets people grow native plants instead of grass, no matter what their HOA wants.
8. Which is one of HOA’s responsibilities
A. Developing and interpreting all relevant laws.
B. Protecting the balance of nature in the community.
C. Maintaining a unified greenery within the community.
D. Dealing with all the requirements of residents.
9. Why did the Crouches give up the lawn in front of their house
A. To attract people’s attention.
B. To improve the neighbourhood relations.
C. To save on the cost of lawn maintenance.
D. To better improve the ecological environment.
10. Which of the following might the Crouches agree
A. Lawns are suitable for bee reproduction.
B. Local plants are environmentally friendly.
C. Local plants can prevent soil and water pollution.
D. Lawns are beneficial for soil and water conservation.
11. Which can best describe the Crouches
A. Determined. B. Humorous. C. Brave. D. Careful.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国一对夫妇在院子里坚持栽种当地植物，从而导致相关法律的修订。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“HOAs can make rules about the plants that homeowners in a neighbourhood are permitted to grow. Many HOAs require grass lawns. ( HOAs可以制定规则，规定社区里的私房屋主能种植什么。很多HOAs要求他们种植草坪。)”可知，HOAs制定规则，让社区统一种植，从而保持社区的统一绿色植物，故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The HOA ordered the Crouches to pull out their native plants and put in grass. However, they refused. “We knew we were doing things that were beneficial for the environment, ” said Janet Crouch.( HOA命令把他们种植的当地植物拔出，改为草坪。但是他们拒绝了。Janet Crouch说道：“我知道我正在做对环境有好处的事情”。)”可知，Crouches拒绝在门前种植草坪是为了更有利于生态环境的保护，故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The HOA ordered the Crouches to pull out their native plants and put in grass. However, they refused. “We knew we were doing things that were beneficial for the environment, ” said Janet Crouch.( HOA命令把他们种植的当地植物拔出，改为草坪。但是他们拒绝了。Janet Crouch说道：“我知道我正在做对环境有好处的事情”。)”可知，Crouch认为他种植当地植物，他觉得他是在做对环境有好处的事情，故在Crouch一家人看来，当地植物有利于生态环境的保护，故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The Crouches’ battle against their HOA took three years. They say they spent $60, 000 fighting to keep their natural garden. They won.( Crouch一家与HOA的战争持续了三年。他说他们花费了60000美元来保护自己的花园。最终他们获胜了。)”可知，他们一家人为了保持自己在花园里种植当地植物，一直坚持与HOA对抗，最终获得了胜利，故他们一家人是有决心的，故选A。
D
Used electronics are piing up fast: they are filling up landfills with dangerous pieces of waste. Some e-waste is relatively large, such as air conditioners; other e-waste is more unnoticed, such as smart labels that contain disposable batteries and other equipment.
“It’s these small batteries that are big problems,” says University of California, Irvine, public health scientist Dele Ogunseitan, who is a green technology researcher and adviser for major tech companies and was not involved in developing the battery. “Nobody really pays attention to where they end up.” Researchers at the Cellulose & Wood Materials Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology are working to address this problem. Their new paper describes a water-activated paper battery developed from environmentally friendly materials that could eventually present a sustainable alternative to the more harmful batteries common in low-power devices.
The paper battery has the same key components as standard batteries but packages them differently. Like a typical chemical battery, it has a positively charged side and a negatively charged side. A traditional battery’s components are covered in plastic and metal; in the new battery, however, the positively and negatively charged sides are inks printed onto the front and back of a piece of paper. That paper is filled with salt, which dissolves (溶解) when the paper becomes wet. When the paper is dry, the battery is shelf-stable. Once the paper is wet, the battery starts working within 20 seconds. The new battery’s operating performance declines as the paper dries. When the scientists rewet the paper during testing, the battery regained function and lasted an hour before beginning to dry out again.
That future may not be so far off. It is hard to predict a time line for manufacturing such items at scale, but the head of the study says he is in contact with potential industry partners and believes these batteries could make their way into products within the next two to five years.
12. Why is e-waste mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic. B. To give people warning.
C. To show the seriousness of it. D. To call on people to take action.
13. What is Dele’s attitude towards e-waste
A. Objective. B. Carefree. C. Indifferent. D. Concerned.
14. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The difference between the paper battery and the traditional battery.
B. The working principle of the paper battery.
C. The problem of the paper battery.
D. The advantage of the paper battery.
15. What is the most suitable title for the text
A. Paper battery: Is it far off
B. Paper can work wonders.
C. Paper battery: A creative way to reduce e-waste.
D. Let’s work together to fight e-waste.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第二段““It’s these small batteries that are big problems,” says University of California, Irvine, public health scientist Dele Ogunseitan, who is a green technology researcher and adviser for major tech companies and was not involved in developing the battery. “Nobody really pays attention to where they end up.”(“这些小电池是大问题，”加州大学欧文分校公共卫生科学家Dele Ogunsetan说，他是一名绿色技术研究员，也是大型科技公司的顾问，没有参与电池的开发。“没有人真正关注他们的结局。”)”可知，Dele很担忧电子垃圾。故选D。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The paper battery has the same key components as standard batteries but packages them differently. Like a typical chemical battery, it has a positively charged side and a negatively charged side. A traditional battery’s components are covered in plastic and metal; in the new battery, however, the positively and negatively charged sides are inks printed onto the front and back of a piece of paper.

Once the paper is wet, the battery starts working within 20 seconds. The new battery’s operating performance declines as the paper dries. When the scientists rewet the paper during testing, the battery regained function and lasted an hour before beginning to dry out again. (纸电池的关键部件与标准电池相同，但包装不同。就像典型的化学电池一样，它有带正电的一侧和带负电的一侧。传统电池的部件由塑料和金属覆盖；然而，在新电池中，带正电和带负电的一面是印在纸的正面和背面的墨水。那张纸上装满了盐，当纸变湿时，盐就会溶解。当纸张干燥时，电池在货架上是稳定的。纸张湿润后，电池将在20秒内开始工作。新电池的运行性能随着纸张的干燥而下降。当科学家们在测试过程中重新润湿论文时，电池恢复功能，持续一个小时后又开始变干。)”可知，这一段主要描述了纸电池的工作原理。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Researchers at the Cellulose & Wood Materials Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology are working to address this problem. Their new paper describes a water-activated paper battery developed from environmentally friendly materials that could eventually present a sustainable alternative to the more harmful batteries common in low-power devices.(瑞士联邦材料科学与技术实验室纤维素与木材材料实验室的研究人员正在努力解决这个问题。他们的新论文描述了一种由环保材料开发的水活化纸电池，该电池最终可能成为低功率设备中常见的更有害电池的可持续替代品。)”和最后一段“That future may not be so far off. It is hard to predict a time line for manufacturing such items at scale, but the head of the study says he is in contact with potential industry partners and believes these batteries could make their way into products within the next two to five years. (未来可能并不遥远。很难预测大规模生产此类产品的时间线，但该研究的负责人表示，他正在与潜在的行业合作伙伴联系，并相信这些电池可能在未来两到五年内进入产品。)”可知，本篇文章讲述了纸电池在减少电子垃圾方面可发挥积极作用。因此本文的最佳标题是C.Paper battery: A creative way to reduce e-waste. (纸电池:减少电子垃圾的创造性方法。)。故选C。

Household chores like cooking, cleaning, washing the dishes, and making the bed are never done; they just get repeated like a broken record. Boring! Like many people, you may regard chores as something annoying. ___16___ It turns out that doing chores is great for your health.
Chores can lead to creative problem-solving. As researchers state in a report, doing undemanding tasks allows the mind to wander. ___17___ In fact, undemanding tasks stimulate more creative ideas than demanding tasks or just resting.
___18___ To discover what activities might be linked to a lower rate of dementia(痴呆), researchers analyzed massive amounts of healthcare data from the UK Biobank. They found that those most engaged in household chores had a 21 percent lower risk of dementia compared to those least engaged in chores. This result indicated simple changes could make a difference to health.
Finishing your chores can increase motivation(动力). BJ Fogg, author of Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything, states that the most important skill is recognizing and celebrating pleting even a small task, like making your bed, can give you a sense of satisfaction. ___19___ Similarly, author Admiral William H. McRaven argues that if you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.
Chores are good for children’s mental health. Children develop a sense of ownership when they have jobs to do around the house and it makes them feel like they are an important member of the household. Doing chores with children also improves the parent-child relationship. ___20___
A. Chores are linked to a lower dementia risk.
B. Chores are an opportunity for “me time”.
C. In this way, they can be taught to be confident.
D. Thus, you feel encouraged to deal with tasks one after another.
E. But there are science-based reasons for changing your attitude towards chores.
F. Your mind gets a break, which allows you to consider old problems with new eyes.
G. In my own case, I bond with my daughter by chatting while we do chores together.
【答案】16. E 17. F 18. A 19. D 20. G

【17题详解】
根据上文“As researchers state in a report, doing undemanding tasks allows the mind to wander.(正如研究人员在一份报告中所说，做一些不费力的任务可以让人走神。)”可知，做一些不费力的工作会让人走神，当大脑休息的时候，就开始有新的想法出现。F项“Your mind gets a break, which allows you to consider old problems with new eyes.(你的大脑得到了休息，这让你可以用新的眼光来思考老问题。)符合语境。故选F项。
【18题详解】
根据下文“They found that those most engaged in household chores had a 21 percent lower risk of dementia compared to those least engaged in chores. This result indicated simple changes could make a difference to health.(他们发现，经常做家务活的人患痴呆症的风险比很少做家务活的人低21%。这一结果表明，简单的改变可以对健康产生影响。)”可知，经常做家务的人患痴呆症的风险会降低。A项“Chores are linked to a lower dementia risk.(做家务与更低的痴呆风险有关联。)”符合语境。故选A项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Completing even a small task, like making your bed, can give you a sense of satisfaction.(即使完成一个小任务，比如整理你的床铺，也能给你一种满足感。)”可知，空出要说明完成任务的益处。D项“Thus, you feel encouraged to deal with tasks one after another.(因此，你会有动力去处理一项又一项的任务。)”。D项中的encouraged呼应该段首句中的motivation。故选D项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Doing chores with children also improves the parent-child relationship.(和孩子一起做家务能改善亲子关系。)”可知，下一句应该是作者举了一个自己的例子来对前面的一句话进一步说明。G项“In my own case, I bond with my daughter by chatting while we do chores together.(就我自己而言，我和女儿在一起做家务的时候聊天。)”符合语境。故选G项。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
NEVER STOP WALKING
When Justin was 7, he suffered from a disease that led to problems with the development of his back. Over the years, the little boy had gone through a total of five corrective surgeries. Justin could no longer walk and was limited to a wheelchair. But this did not stop him from living a normal life thanks to his mother’ S love and others’ help.
After entering high school, Justin got interested in playing the trumpet (小号) and joined the school’s band. He served as one of the band’s trumpeters and developed a strong friendship with his partner Tom. As Thanksgiving Day approached, the band intended to perform in the Thanksgiving Day Parade and every member had the chance to join in, including Justin. However, there was one obvious problem. Justin could not control his wheelchair and play the trumpet at the same time. The band director put forward an idea of one student pushing Justin during his marches. Tom immediately volunteered even though it meant he had to give up the opportunity to play his own instrument during the parade.“I do it just to make sure Justin knows that he always has a place in the band, and he always will,“ Tom said to their director secretly. From then on, the two practiced together, one playing the instrument and the other pushing the wheelchair with the rhythm of the music.
To help Justin, Tom sacrificed (牺牲) far beyond expectation. Apart from losing the chance to perform, he needed to spare more time to take care of Justin and even missed his football training several times. All of these were seen by Justin and the burden of guilt weighed heavily on his mind.“I can’t meet my own needs at the sacrifice of Tom’s chance. It is time to find a solution.” Justin thought to himself as his mother pushed him on the way home. His mother lowered her head and said,“Justin, play me your new tune.” Justin took out his trumpet and was about to play when an excellent idea came to him.

【答案】Possible version
He turned around to ask his mother for help. “Mom, could you please push me in the Thanksgiving Day Parade instead of Tom He gave up his chance of performing to assist me.” Justin looked up at his mother, eagerly awaiting her reply. “Sure, my dear!” Mom bent and kissed his forehead. “I’m happy to join you and witness every moment of your growth.” Justin grinned from ear to ear with the huge load off his mind. With Mom’s participation, the practice went smoothly and joyfully, every member, Justin and Tom included, having a place in the performance and playing their part intently in preparation for the big day.
Thanksgiving finally came, as did Justin and mom’s performance. Dressed in the same performing suit, mom pushed Justin proudly with a bright smile on her face as Justin threw himself heart and soul into the performance. Joyful music floating in the air, the mother and son were indeed a perfect match in the parade, which soon became the center of attention. The entire audience broke into thunderous applause, not only for the whole band’s performance, but also for the love between Justin and his mother. Sometimes one person may not walk, but love and assistance can help go anywhere.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节, 满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分37. 5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
A road trip is not just about taking in the scenery through the car windscreen. Instead, the changes in location let you increase the scope of your holiday. Here are four recommended routes.
CCR 200
It is a new coastal road trip showing off the hidden side of the Lake District. The route takes in various nature reserves as well as other attractions like beaches and castles. The road trip is aimed at campers of all kinds and has been divided into five sections that can each be done in a day.
The Explorer’s Road
The Road extends almost the entire length of eastern England, featuring some of the country’s hidden treasures and finest attractions. Along the way you can explore stunning beaches, spectacular countryside and historic landmarks, with plenty of campsites lining the route.
South West Coastal 300
The South West Coastal 300 is around the southwest of Scotland. It’s a fantastic way to discover one of the UK’s hidden treasures. Inland, there are demanding hills that provide a steep one to walkers and climbers, not to mention hundreds of square miles of forestry and rolling countryside where cycling enthusiasts can clock up the miles.
Atlantic Highway
The route roughly follows the line of the Atlantic coast. There are picturesque village views and you certainly won’t be short of things to see or do. And there is no shortage of stopovers. The only downside is that the roads round here are extremely busy occasionally, so if you want a more stress-free trip, try heading down out of summer.
1. Which road trip best suits those who enjoy challenges
A. CCR 200 B. The Explorer’s Road.
C. South West Coastal 300. D. Atlantic Highway.
2. What is one shared feature of CCR 200 and The Explorer’s Road
A. Lesser-known aspects. B. Popular beaches and castles.
C Landmarks with a long history. D. Newly-developed nature reserves.
3. What is the disadvantage of Atlantic Highway
A. It closes in summer. B. Its views are limited.
C. It charges for stopovers. D. It is crowded sometimes.
B
Most people have heard of Shakespeare and probably know something of the plays that he wrote. However, not everybody knows much about the life of this remarkable man, except perhaps that he was born in the market town of Stratford upon Avon and that he married a woman called Anne Hathaway. We know nothing of his school life. We do not know, for example, how long it lasted, but we presume that he attended the local grammar school, where the principal subject taught was Latin.
Nothing certain is known for what he did between the time he left school and his departure for London. According to a local legend, he was beaten and even put in prison for stealing rabbits and deer from the estate of a neighboring landowner, Sir Thomas Lucy. It is said that because of this he was forced to run away from his native place. A different legend says that he was apprenticed to a Stratford butcher, but did not like the life and for this reason decided to leave Stratford.
Whatever caused him to leave the town of his birth, the world can be grateful that he did so. What is certain is that he set his foot on the road to fame when he arrived in London. It is said that at first he had no money or friends there, but that he earned a little by taking care of the horses of the gentlemen who attended the plays at the theatre. In time, as he became a familiar figure to the actors in the theatre, they stopped and spoke to him. They found his conversation so brilliant that finally he was invited to join their company.
4. In the early life of Shakespeare, he ________, supposedly.
A. attended a public school B. lived in London C. studied Latin D. was put in prison for stealing cattle
5. Why was he forced to leave his native place according to this passage
A. Because he did not want to go to school. B. Because he left for London to become famous.
C. Because he had stolen deer and was beaten. D. No one knows for certain.
6. Why can the world be grateful that he left his hometown
A. Because he wrote many world-famous plays B. Because he became a good rider in London.
C. Because he was an actor at last in London. D. Because he travelled all over the world.
7. The underlined phrase “In time” in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A. on time B. sometimes C. some time later D. some time
C
The area in front of Janet and Jeffrey Crouch’s house in Columbia, Maryland, does not look usual for their neighbourhood. That is because the Crouches do not have a grass lawn(草坪). Instead, they have some small trees and many native plants.
In recent years, support for replacing lawns with native plants has been increasing in the US. It can be costly to keep a lawn looking good and green. But the Crouches had to spend much more money for the right not to have one.
People living in a house next to them complained to their homeowner’s association or HOA. HOAs can make rules about the plants that homeowners in a neighbourhood are permitted to grow. Many HOAs require grass lawns. The HOA ordered the Crouches to pull out their native plants and put in grass. However, they refused. “We knew we were doing things that were beneficial for the environment, ” said Janet Crouch.
Lawns are called environmental dead zones in part because they provide no food or shelter for wildlife. They also do not support pollinators like birds, bees, and butterflies. Bee populations have been getting smaller in North America and may be getting smaller around the world.
There are other reasons that lawns are bad for the environment. They require a lot of water and chemicals. Large amounts of water can remove nutrients from the soil. After the water removes the nutrients, people buy even more chemicals to put on their lawns. Scientists say some of these chemicals might cause cancer and other health problems. There are over 16million hectares of grass lawns in the US. That means lawns use more water than any other irrigated(灌溉)crop in the country.
The Crouches’ battle against their HOA took three years. They say they spent $60, 000 fighting to keep their natural garden. They won. Because of their efforts, the state of Maryland passed a law that lets people grow native plants instead of grass, no matter what their HOA wants.
8. Which is one of HOA’s responsibilities
A. Developing and interpreting all relevant laws.
B. Protecting the balance of nature in the community.
C. Maintaining a unified greenery within the community.
D. Dealing with all the requirements of residents.
9. Why did the Crouches give up the lawn in front of their house
A. To attract people’s attention.
B. To improve the neighbourhood relations.
C. To save on the cost of lawn maintenance.
D. To better improve the ecological environment.
10. Which of the following might the Crouches agree
A. Lawns are suitable for bee reproduction.
B. Local plants are environmentally friendly.
C. Local plants can prevent soil and water pollution.
D. Lawns are beneficial for soil and water conservation.
11. Which can best describe the Crouches
A. Determined. B. Humorous. C. Brave. D. Careful.
D
Used electronics are piing up fast: they are filling up landfills with dangerous pieces of waste. Some e-waste is relatively large, such as air conditioners; other e-waste is more unnoticed, such as smart labels that contain disposable batteries and other equipment.
“It’s these small batteries that are big problems,” says University of California, Irvine, public health scientist Dele Ogunseitan, who is a green technology researcher and adviser for major tech companies and was not involved in developing the battery. “Nobody really pays attention to where they end up.” Researchers at the Cellulose & Wood Materials Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology are working to address this problem. Their new paper describes a water-activated paper battery developed from environmentally friendly materials that could eventually present a sustainable alternative to the more harmful batteries common in low-power devices.
The paper battery has the same key components as standard batteries but packages them differently. Like a typical chemical battery, it has a positively charged side and a negatively charged side. A traditional battery’s components are covered in plastic and metal; in the new battery, however, the positively and negatively charged sides are inks printed onto the front and back of a piece of paper. That paper is filled with salt, which dissolves (溶解) when the paper becomes wet. When the paper is dry, the battery is shelf-stable. Once the paper is wet, the battery starts working within 20 seconds. The new battery’s operating performance declines as the paper dries. When the scientists rewet the paper during testing, the battery regained function and lasted an hour before beginning to dry out again.

NEVER STOP WALKING
When Justin was 7, he suffered from a disease that led to problems with the development of his back. Over the years, the little boy had gone through a total of five corrective surgeries. Justin could no longer walk and was limited to a wheelchair. But this did not stop him from living a normal life thanks to his mother’ S love and others’ help.
After entering high school, Justin got interested in playing the trumpet (小号) and joined the school’s band. He served as one of the band’s trumpeters and developed a strong friendship with his partner Tom. As Thanksgiving Day approached, the band intended to perform in the Thanksgiving Day Parade and every member had the chance to join in, including Justin. However, there was one obvious problem. Justin could not control his wheelchair and play the trumpet at the same time. The band director put forward an idea of one student pushing Justin during his marches. Tom immediately volunteered even though it meant he had to give up the opportunity to play his own instrument during the parade.“I do it just to make sure Justin knows that he always has a place in the band, and he always will,“ Tom said to their director secretly. From then on, the two practiced together, one playing the instrument and the other pushing the wheelchair with the rhythm of the music.
To help Justin, Tom sacrificed (牺牲) far beyond expectation. Apart from losing the chance to perform, he needed to spare more time to take care of Justin and even missed his football training several times. All of these were seen by Justin and the burden of guilt weighed heavily on his mind.“I can’t meet my own needs at the sacrifice of Tom’s chance. It is time to find a solution.” Justin thought to himself as his mother pushed him on the way home. His mother lowered her head and said,“Justin, play me your new tune.” Justin took out his trumpet and was about to play when an excellent idea came to him.
