I first met Charlie in the community soon after buying my apartment. He was a relatively short man around his mid-70s. At first, Charlie was very friendly and got along with people in a rather relaxing way.
But a few weeks later, the first time I joined the community meeting, things became difficult. The hot topic was to take control of the community gardens from Charlie and employ a professional gardener to do the job instead. All but Charlie agreed with the suggestion. Charlie had been doing the gardens as if they were his personal belongings. The problem was that his efforts weren’t what the rest of the owners seemed to want, and this led to a debate. As the meeting developed into a slanging match (互相谩骂), I decided to say something.
“Look! As a new owner, I have no interest in what happened in the past. I’m interested in how to solve the present situation. The problem is that I can’t even open my garage door properly because there’s a tree planted too close to it. Finding a professional gardener to solve the problem sounds like a great solution to me.”
Most of the other owners appeared relieved, but Charlie was annoyed. Finally, at the request of everyone, except Charlie, a professional gardener was hired to manage the community gardens.
From that day on, I became Charlie’s enemy. Later, I learned that he always lived in his own world. He was lonely because he had no friends, and he managed to alienate everyone in his life.
Suddenly one day, Charlie fell down the stairs, breaking his leg. Out of pity, I went to the hospital to care for him. During the three months we spent together, I gradually accepted this stubborn old man. After Charlie left the hospital, he became kind not just to me, but to the rest of the community. Since then, the friend lines s of the whole community has raised a lot.

The Chinese people have developed the habit of ordering more dishes than they can eat when inviting guests for dinner in a restaurant, because if all the plates are empty at the end of the dinner, it would be considered a matter of shame to the host. Surveys show that as much as 35 million tons of food is wasted in China every year.
To solve this problem, the “Clean Your Plate” campaign was launched in 2013 and got a positive response from restaurant owners, the public, and governments at different levels. More and more waiters are now reminding diners to stop ordering more if they have ordered enough to make them full. Also, most restaurant owners nowadays provide free boxes with which the diners can carry the leftovers (剩菜) home.
The “Clean Your Plate” campaign has become popular along with the “save water” and “go green” activities. However, since it takes generations for people to change their bad habits, it’s too early to celebrate its success. Instead, more attention should be paid to preventing food waste at home.
Almost every Chinese family has a “waste bin”. Unfortunately, I happen to be the “waste bin” of my family. I used to enjoy eating leftovers until I heard an expert on TV saying that it causes cancer. Many doctors say the same thing. But later, I saw other experts doing experiments and concluding that food cooked hours ago or even a day ago shows no obvious increase in carcinogenic particles(致癌颗粒) if stored properly. Their disagreement has left me confused. I have no idea who is right, but I am clear that if all the leftovers are thrown away as suggested by some experts, it would be a big waste of food.
8.Why was the “Clean Your Plate” campaign launched
A. To invite guests for dinner. B. To save people’s face.
C. To reduce food waste. D. To stop unbalanced diet.
9.What is the effect of this campaign on people
A. Waiters are reminded to stop ordering more.
B. Free boxes are provided by most restaurant owners.
C. People are eager to change their bad habits earlier.
D. People pay more attention to preventing food waste at home.
10.What does the author think of the leftovers
A. Eating leftovers causes cancer.
B. Leftovers should be thrown into the waste bin.
C. Throwing all the leftovers would be a big waste of food.
D. Properly stored leftovers won’t cause damage to health.
11.What is the text mainly about
A. An introduction to a campaign. B. The ways to deal with leftovers.
C. An explanation of food waste. D. The eating habits of Chinese.
Overuse of land and warming temperatures are putting insect diversity in danger in some parts of the world, scientists reported Wednesday.
The study, published in the journal Nature, confirmed for the first time a clear and alarming link between warming temperatures and large-scale agriculture and showed that where there are more farmlands, there is a greater decrease in insects.
“These findings lead to huge concerns,” said Charlotte Outhwaite, the lead author of the study and researcher at the University College London, adding that losing insects could threaten human health and food supply.
“Three quarters of our crops depend on insect pollinators(授粉),” Dave Goulson, a professor of biology at the University of Sussex in the UK, previously told CNN. “Without insects, crops will die. We won’t have things like strawberries. We can’t feed 8 billion people.”
Outhwaite said their findings “may only show the tip of the iceberg(冰山一角),"because of the limited amount of evidence in some areas. “But I think there are also a lot of results that we probably don’t really know because there are so many different kinds of insects.” Outhwaite told CNN.
Scientists say, overuse of land has a link with warming temperatures. Destroying natural habitats for agriculture can make the temperature rise sharply. Researchers found great decreases in insect populations in areas of the world that are much warmer. They concluded that in areas with small-scale agriculture, less temperature warming, and more natural habitats, insects only dropped by 7%, compared to the 63% decrease in areas with large-scale agriculture, more temperature warming and less natural habitats. So what can we do to help prevent this
12.What did the study find
A. More farmlands lead to a greater decrease in insects.
B. Three quarters of our crops depend on insect pollinators.
C. Overuse of land is threatening insect diversity all over the world.
D. There is little link between warming temperatures and large-scale agriculture.
13.Why does the author quote Dave Goulson’s words
A. To suggest solutions to people’s concerns.
B. To explain the process of insect pollinators.
C. To prove the importance of insects to humans.
D. To provide evidence for the decrease in insects.
14.Which one is NOT the factor of the decreases in insect populations
A. Insect pollinators B. Overuse of land
C. Warming temperatures D. Less natural habitats
15.What might the author continue talking about
A. His opinions of the study.
B. Studies of natural habitat.
C. The ways to stop the decrease.
D. The causes of warming temperatures.

六、读后续写
34.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。
Already Perfect
Each one of us struggles with self-worth to some degree. I spent much of my time attempting to achieve perfection in every aspect of my life. What I didn’t realize was that in my efforts to be perfect, I almost lost my life.
During my childhood, I wanted everyone’s praise and acceptance. After I graduated from high school, my struggles with self-worth increased. I began to put pressure on myself to succeed in the adult world. Meanwhile, I wasn’t feeling very confident and successful. I started to believe that my difficulties and “failures” in life were caused by my weight. I had always been a thin-to-average sized person. Suddenly, I was convinced that I was overweight. In my mind, I was FAT!
Slowly, I began to control my food by trying to diet, but nothing seemed to work. I continued to reduce what I ate each day and told myself that I would succeed, and in turn, I felt good about myself.
People around me began to notice my weight loss. At first, they weren’t alarmed; maybe some were even envious. But then the comments showed some concern. “You’re losing too much weight.” “Elisa, you’re so thin.” “You look sick.” “You’ll die if you keep this up.” All their words only made me believe that I was on the right path, getting closer to “perfection.”
My poor nutrition (营养) began to cause me to lose sleep. I found it hard to concentrate on my work or to focus on anything for a long time. I was pushing myself harder and harder at the gym, struggling to burn fat. My parents tried to stop me but I disagreed that I had a problem. None of my clothes fit, and it was hard to buy any, since I had become too thin!
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then one night, I couldn’t sleep again, and my heart beat its way out of my chest.

When I lay on the hospital bed, I began to rethink what I did to my body.

32.答案:①were lost②universities③importance④Though/Although/While⑤advancing⑥the⑦who/that⑧as⑨certainly⑩named
解析:①考查时态语态。句意:遗失在海外的圆明园七根古石柱最近回到了中国。此处定语从句修饰先行词Seven ancient stone columns,关系代词that替代先行词在从句作主语,与从句谓语动词lose构成被动关系,且发生在过去,故用一般过去时的被动语态,谓语用复数形式。故填were lost。
②考查名词的数。句意:在文化和旅游部的指导下,各大学、院系和社会各界共同努力,促成了挪威向中国捐赠这些石柱。根据后文departments可知数量大于一,可数名词university应用复数形式。故填universities。
③考查名词。句意:中国圆明园学会会员刘洋强调了回归的重要性。作动词emphasized的宾语,应用名词importance,不可数。故填importance。
④考查状语从句。句意:“虽然圆明园也有类似的雕刻石柱,但这些石柱的回归对推进失传文物的归还具有重要意义,而且这些石柱保存完好。”引导让步状语从句,表示“虽然”应用从属连词though、although或while,首字母大写。故填Though/Although/While。
⑤考查非谓语动词。句意:“虽然圆明园也有类似的雕刻石柱,但这些石柱的回归对推进失传文物的归还具有重要意义,而且这些石柱保存完好。”作介词in的宾语,advance用动名词形式。故填advancing。
⑥考查冠词。句意:展览于上周六向公众开放。短语the public表示“公众”。故填the。
⑦考查定语从句。句意:参观了展览会的大学生们表达了他们的骄傲和兴奋。该空引导限制性定语从句,先行词students,指人,关系词替代先行词在从句作主语,用关系代词who/that。故填who/that。
⑧考查介词。句意:他们把这些文物的归还看作是中西文化交流的象征。短语regard…as…表示“把……看作是……”。故填as。
⑨考查副词。句意:“它肯定会提醒我们,落后会导致痛苦,”一位姓杨的学生告诉《环球时报》。修饰动词remind应用副词certainly作状语,故填certainly。
⑩考查非谓语动词。句意:“它肯定会提醒我们,落后会导致痛苦,”一位姓杨的学生告诉《环球时报》。分析句子结构可知name与逻辑主语student构成被动关系,name用过去分词形式作定语。故填named。

34.答案:
Then one night, I couldn’t sleep again, and my heart beat its way out of my chest. I tried to relax, but I couldn’t. The beating became so rapid and so strong that I could no longer breathe. Really scared and ill, I felt I was going to die. Knowing that help was needed, I stood up, went towards the door, and immediately fell down, letting out a cry of pain. Awakened by the unusual sound, my parents came in to see what had happened. Shocked and worried, they rushed me to the hospital. It took doctors and nurses several hours to bring me back to life.
When I lay on the hospital bed, I began to rethink what I did to my body. I decided to stop my foolish way of losing weight and pursuing perfection. Instead, I must be confident of myself and stay committed to being healthy. I now use my intelligence, talents and acts of kindness to express myself. This is true beauty, and it has nothing to do with the size of my body. With my experience of trying to be “perfect” on the outside, I had forgotten who I was on the inside. What I know now is that we are — each and every one of us — already perfect.
解析:1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“然后有一天晚上,我再也睡不着了,我的心从胸腔里跳了出来。”可知,第一段可描写作者试图放松,但心跳加速,被家人发现后送往医院。
②由第二段首句内容“当我躺在病床上的时候,我开始反思我对自己的身体做了什么。”可知,第二段可描写作者决定停止自己的减肥方式,保持自信和健康,最后懂得了什么才是真正的美。
2.续写线索:试图放松——心跳加速——摔倒在地——家人送往医院——反思——保持自信和健康——懂得了美与体型无关——感悟
