It was 1963 in the Toronto suburb. I was eight years old and hockey (冰球) -crazy. My next-to-zero skills had not stopped my passion for the game. The players of the great hockey club Toronto Maple Leafs were of course my heroes, and their posters and photos covered the walls of my room.
There is always some price to pay for maintaining a love. I raised funds in an old-fashioned way, selling something the public could actually sink their teeth into. I joined the local annual event — Margaret’s Doughnuts (甜甜圈) to sell doughnuts, which offered choices of honey-glazed or chocolate-glazed.
Door-to-door I went, notebook in hand to record. I sold dozens of dozens; hardly a soul turned me down. My notebook was almost full, and my stomach was almost empty when I went up the last house on the south side.
I rang the doorbell and went over my speech while staring at the screen door. Suddenly, the door opened. My unforgettable memory was looking up from a large pair of fuzzy slippers, way up, to the face staring down. I stood there speechless for what seemed 10 years, opening and closing my mouth like a fish out of water. Collecting my calmness, but still unable to go into doughnut-promoting overdrive, I told him something he seemed have already known and he replied with a nod and a smile.
I have an unclear memory of murmuring through my speech “Please-buy-some-doughnuts”, and then a vivid memory of him taking the notebook from my hand. I followed with new information — that we shared our given name. With pride from our first-name-basis farewells, I flew home holding the notebook tightly to my chest.
The next morning before the school bell, I cautiously showed off the precious paper. It is surely mine alone to claim: I sold a dozen doughnuts to Tim Horton, one of my most respected players who lived a mere three blocks away!

A shocking 53.6 million tons of electronic waste were discarded（丢弃）last year, a new UN-backed report has revealed. The report shows that e-waste is up 21%from five years ago. This isn't surprising, considering how many more people are adopting new technology and updating devices regularly to have the latest versions, but the report also shows that national collection and recycling strategies are nowhere close to matching consumption rates.
E-waste contains materials including copper（铜）, iron, gold and silver, which the report gives a conservative value of $ 57 billion. But most are thrown away or burned rather than being collected for recycling. Precious metals in waste are estimated to be worth $ 14 billion, but only $4 billion-worth is recovered at the moment.
While the number of countries with national e-waste policies has grown from 61 to 78 since 2014, there is little encouragement to obey and a mere 17% of collected items are recycled. If recycling does occur, it's often under dangerous conditions, such as burning circuit boards to recover copper, which "releases highly poisonous metals" and harms the health of workers.
The report found that Asia has the highest amounts of waste overall, producing 24.9 million metric tons (MMT), followed by Europe at 12 MMT, Africa at 2.9 MMT, and Oceania at 0.7 MMT.
But whose responsibility is it Are governments in charge of setting up collection and recycling points, or should companies be responsible for recycling the goods they produce It goes both panies do need to be held accountable by government regulations and have incentives to design products that are easily repaired. At the same time, governments need to make it easy for citizens to access collection points and deal with their broken electronics in a convenient way. Otherwise, they may turn to the easiest option-the landfill.
8. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A What e-waste refers to.
B. Where e-waste is collected.
C. Why e-waste is increasing rapidly.
D. How many kinds e-waste includes.
9. What do the statistics in paragraph 2 show
A. The functions of policies.
B The great damage to environment.
C. The change of consumption rates.
D. The urgency of recovering e-waste.
10. What is the problem with recycling e-waste at present
A. It does harm to the workers' health.
B. It lacks national policy support.
C. It hardly makes profits.
D. It takes too much time.
11. How should the problem be solved according to the passage
A. New technology should be used to update old devices.
B. Governments and companies should take responsibilities.
C. Non-poisonous metals had better be used in e-device.
D. Citizens must play a key role in recycling e-waste.
D
Ancient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today, thousands of years later. Roman engineers built thick concrete sea barriers, for example. And Chinese builders raised walls against invaders. But there are many recent structures that are already starting to fail. The concrete that makes up much of our modern world lasts around 50 to 100 years.
A growing number of scientists have been studying materials from long ago. They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years. The research has turned up a surprising list of materials that were mixed into old buildings. They include tree bark, volcanic ash, rice, beer and even urine (尿液). These unexpected materials could have the ability to get stronger over time and “heal” cracks when they form.
Figuring out how to copy these features could have real impacts today. While our modern concrete has the strength to hold up very tall buildings and heavy infrastructure (基础结构) it cannot compete with the endurance of these ancient materials. With the rising threats of climate change, there is a growing call to make construction more sustainable. A recent UN report estimates that the built environment is responsible for more than a third of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide. Cement (水泥) production alone makes up more than 7 percent of those emissions.
Is ancient Roman concrete better In places where seawater has been hitting structures for ages, you will find concrete “basically the way it was when it was poured 2,000 years ago,” said John Oleson, an archaeologist at the University of Victoria in Canada.
Most modern concrete starts with Portland cement, a powder made by heating limestone (石灰岩) and clay to super-high temperatures and breaking them up. That cement is mixed with water to create a paste. Then, materials like rock and gravel are added. Records from ancient builders show the Roman process was similar. The ancient builders mixed materials like burnt limestone and volcanic sand with water and rocks, creating chemical reactions to tie everything together.
Now, scientists think they have found an important reason why some Roman concrete has held up structures for thousands of years. The ancient material has an unusual power to repair itself. Exactly how is not yet clear, so scientists are starting to find reasons why.
12. What is the purpose of the comparison in Paragraph 1
A. To introduce a topic. B. To list a motivation.
C. To give a definition. D. To present an argument.
13. Which aspect of ancient Roman building materials surprises scientists
A. Their necessary ingredients. B. Their processing procedure.
C. Their amazing sustainability. D. Their high-end technology.
14. According to the passage, ________ remains a mystery.
A. what made up those ancient Roman materials
B. where the ancient Roman materials were produced
C. how those ancient Roman materials were transported
D. why the ancient Roman materials healed automatically
15. Where is the text probably from
A. A travel brochure. B. A science fiction.
C. An architecture essay. D. An environment report.

A shocking 53.6 million tons of electronic waste were discarded（丢弃）last year, a new UN-backed report has revealed. The report shows that e-waste is up 21%from five years ago. This isn't surprising, considering how many more people are adopting new technology and updating devices regularly to have the latest versions, but the report also shows that national collection and recycling strategies are nowhere close to matching consumption rates.
E-waste contains materials including copper（铜）, iron, gold and silver, which the report gives a conservative value of $ 57 billion. But most are thrown away or burned rather than being collected for recycling. Precious metals in waste are estimated to be worth $ 14 billion, but only $4 billion-worth is recovered at the moment.

D. How many kinds e-waste includes.
9. What do the statistics in paragraph 2 show

D. Citizens must play a key role in recycling e-waste.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了电子垃圾的回收问题。
【详解】1.推理判断题。由第一段最后一句“This isn't surprising, considering how many more people are adopting new technology and updating devices regularly to have the latest versions, but the report also shows that national collection and recycling strategies are nowhere close to matching consumption rates.”（这并不奇怪，考虑到有多少人正在采用新技术和定期更新设备以获得最新版本，但报告还显示，国家收集和回收战略远远不能达到与消费率相匹配的水平。）可知，越来越多的人使用电子产品，且电子产品的回收策略与消费速率不匹配，这就导致了电子垃圾的数量飞速增长。选项C与文意一致，故选C。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段“E-waste contains materials including copper（铜）, iron, gold and silver, which the report gives a conservative value of $ 57 billion. But most are thrown away or burned rather than being collected for recycling. Precious metals in waste are estimated to be worth $ 14 billion, but only $4 billion-worth is recovered at the moment.”（电子垃圾含有铜、铁、金和银等物质，报告给出的保守价值为570亿美元。但是大多数都被扔掉或者烧掉了，而不是被收集起来再循环利用。废物中的贵金属估计价值140亿美元，但目前只回收了价值40亿美元的贵金属。）通过数字对比可知，目前电子垃圾中有用材料的回收利用率还很低，浪费严重。所以第2段的统计数字显示了回收电子垃圾的紧迫性，故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“ If recycling does occur, it's often under dangerous conditions, such as burning circuit boards to recover copper, which "releases highly poisonous metals" and harms the health of workers.”（如果循环利用真的发生了，这个过程通常是在危险的条件下进行的，比如燃烧电路板回收铜，这会释放出剧毒金属，危害工人的健康。）可知，在电子产品的回收过程中会产生有害物质危害工人的健康。选项A与文意一致，故选A。
4.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Are governments in charge of setting up collection and recycling points, or should companies be responsible for recycling the goods they produce It goes both ways.”（是政府负责设立回收点，还是公司负责回收他们生产的产品？两种方法都要用。）可知，政府和公司都应该承担责任，故选B。
D
Ancient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today, thousands of years later. Roman engineers built thick concrete sea barriers, for example. And Chinese builders raised walls against invaders. But there are many recent structures that are already starting to fail. The concrete that makes up much of our modern world lasts around 50 to 100 years.
A growing number of scientists have been studying materials from long ago. They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years. The research has turned up a surprising list of materials that were mixed into old buildings. They include tree bark, volcanic ash, rice, beer and even urine (尿液). These unexpected materials could have the ability to get stronger over time and “heal” cracks when they form.
Figuring out how to copy these features could have real impacts today. While our modern concrete has the strength to hold up very tall buildings and heavy infrastructure (基础结构), it cannot compete with the endurance of these ancient materials. With the rising threats of climate change, there is a growing call to make construction more sustainable. A recent UN report estimates that the built environment is responsible for more than a third of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide. Cement (水泥) production alone makes up more than 7 percent of those emissions.
Is ancient Roman concrete better In places where seawater has been hitting structures for ages, you will find concrete “basically the way it was when it was poured 2,000 years ago,” said John Oleson, an archaeologist at the University of Victoria in Canada.
Most modern concrete starts with Portland cement, a powder made by heating limestone (石灰岩) and clay to super-high temperatures and breaking them up. That cement is mixed with water to create a paste. Then, materials like rock and gravel are added. Records from ancient builders show the Roman process was similar. The ancient builders mixed materials like burnt limestone and volcanic sand with water and rocks, creating chemical reactions to tie everything together.
Now, scientists think they have found an important reason why some Roman concrete has held up structures for thousands of years. The ancient material has an unusual power to repair itself. Exactly how is not yet clear, so scientists are starting to find reasons why.
12. What is the purpose of the comparison in Paragraph 1
A. To introduce a topic. B. To list a motivation.
C. To give a definition. D. To present an argument.
13. Which aspect of ancient Roman building materials surprises scientists
A. Their necessary ingredients. B. Their processing procedure.
C. Their amazing sustainability. D. Their high-end technology.
14. According to the passage, ________ remains a mystery.
A. what made up those ancient Roman materials
B. where the ancient Roman materials were produced
C. how those ancient Roman materials were transported
D. why the ancient Roman materials healed automatically
15. Where is the text probably from
A. A travel brochure. B. A science fiction.
C. An architecture essay. D. An environment report.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了科学家研究了世界上一些古代建筑屹立上千年而不倒原因。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Ancient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today, thousands of years later.(世界各地的古代建设者创造了数千年后仍然屹立不倒的建筑。)”和“But there are many recent structures that are already starting to fail. The concrete that makes up much of our modern world lasts around 50 to 100 years.(但有许多最近的建筑已经开始倒塌。构成我们现代世界大部分的混凝土可以使用大约50到100年。)”可知，第一段对比了古代建筑和现代建筑的持久性，古代建筑能够屹立上千年，而现代建筑则只能持续50到100年，接着第二段前两句“A growing number of scientists have been studying materials from long ago. They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years.(越来越多的科学家一直在研究很久以前的材料。他们正在拆开建筑碎片，阅读历史文献，希望了解它们是如何屹立数千年的。)”讲述了科学家研究为什么古代建筑能够持久。由此可推测出，第一段进行对比是为了引出接下来的话题。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The research has turned up a surprising list of materials that were mixed into old buildings. They include tree bark, volcanic ash, rice, beer and even urine (尿液).(这项研究发现了一份令人惊讶的旧建筑材料清单。它们包括树皮、火山灰、大米、啤酒甚至尿液。)”可知，科学家们发现了旧建筑材料中令人惊讶的成分。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The ancient material has an unusual power to repair itself. Exactly how is not yet clear, so scientists are starting to find reasons why.(这种古老的材料有一种不同寻常的自我修复能力。确切的原因尚不清楚，因此科学家们开始寻找原因。)”可知，古老的罗马材料能够自动修复的原因尚不清楚。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，根据文中的“structures”“materials”“modern concrete”“Roman concrete”等关键词和最后一段中的“Now, scientists think they have found an important reason why some Roman concrete has held up structures for thousands of years.(现在，科学家们认为他们已经找到了一些罗马混凝土支撑结构数千年的重要原因。)”可知，本文主要围绕古代建筑持久的原因展开，讲述了古代和现代建筑的持久性和建筑材料，由此可推测出，本文最有可能出自一篇建筑文章。故选C。
