Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health. Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health.
Gardening involves physical activity that works all the main muscle (肌肉) groups, which is helpful for overall health. “Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, and gardening is listed as a suitable activity. Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Additionally, spending time outdoors makes us get close to natural sunlight, which is important for vitamin D synth.
Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging.

If you live in Shanghai, you might have to take a "lesson" in sorting garbage, as the city recently introduced new garbage-sorting regulations. It's now required that people should sort garbage into four categories, namely recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. However, if people fail to sort their garbage properly, they can be fined up to 200 yuan. More cities are introducing similar regulations, following the practice in Shanghai. By the end of 2020, garbage-sorting systems will have been built in 46 major Chinese cities, including Beijing and Shenzhen, reported People's Daily.
According to a study by the Policy Research Center for Environment and Economy, under the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, over 90 percent of the public believe that garbage sorting is important for the protection of the environment. However, garbage sorting is still a big problem in China. Only 30 percent of participants said they think they are adequately sorting their trash, the study noted.
According to Xinhua News Agency, it's partly because many people lack the willingness to sort their own waste, In the past. Some previous garbage regulations didn't give clear fines for people who failed to sort garbage. "It's a must to have a legal guarantee to promote garbage sorting." Liu Jianguo, a professor from Tsinghua University, told China Daily. He also added "the importance of the new regulations in Shanghai is to change the past voluntary action into compulsory action for everyone.
Aside from China, many other foreign countries have also introduced garbage-sorting regulations. In Japan, waste sorting has become a basic survival skill, reported Xinhua. There is a fixed time for disposal of each kind of garbage and littering can result in high fines and even jail time. In Germany too, people are asked to sort waste into specific categories, reported HuffPost. For example, in Berlin, people have yellow bins for plastic and metals and blue bins for paper and cardboard.
12. What can we learn from paragraph 1
A. All the cities use the same regulations as Shanghai.
B. Shanghai works as a pioneer in garbage sorting.
C. Poisonous waste belongs to four categories in sorting.
D. People will be fined not less than 200 yuan.
13. Which statement is true according to the passage
A. Not all the public attach importance to garbage sorting.
B. Garbage-sorting system have been built in 46 major cities.
C. People may be put in prison because of littering in Germany.
D. People aren't fined clearly if they fail to sort garbage now.
14. What can be inferred from Liu Jianguo's words
A. The sorting action should be changed from compulsory to voluntary.
B. He thinks highly of the legal regulations in garbage sorting.
C. There is a growing concern over garbage sorting worldwide.
D. Legal guarantee is a must to promote garbage sorting.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Regulations Are of Great Importance
B. Shanghai Puts Garbage-sorting Into Practice
C. Cities Get Serious About Waste
D. Garbage Is Hard to Recycle Appropriately
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】

【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中Liu Jianguo所说的话“It's a must to have a legal guarantee to promote garbage sorting.(推广垃圾分类必须有法律保障)”及“the importance of the new regulations in Shanghai is to change the past voluntary action into compulsory action for everyone.(上海新规定的重要性在于将过去的自愿行动转变为对所有人的强制行动)”可知，他是支持在垃圾分类中设立法规的，由此可以推出，他对垃圾分类的法律规定评价很高。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要对国内外垃圾分类政策进行了简单的介绍说明，结合第一段倒数两句“More cities are introducing similar regulations, following the practice in Shanghai. By the end of 2020, garbage-sorting systems will have been built in 46 major Chinese cities, including Beijing and Shenzhen, reported People's Daily.(继上海之后，越来越多的城市正在引入类似的法规。据《人民日报》报道，到2020年底，包括北京和深圳在内的46个中国主要城市将建成垃圾分类系统)”可知，C项“Cities Get Serious About Waste(多所城市严肃对待垃圾处理)”适合作为本文标题。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国古代最伟大的数学家祖冲之的个人经历以及贡献。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：祖冲之自幼学习自然科学、天文学、数学等。分析句子结构可知，teach和主语Zu之间是被动关系，用被动语态，空前已有be动词，所以空处填过去分词。故填taught。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这个小男孩对所有这些科目都很感兴趣，尤其数学。此处是固定搭配：be interested in意为“对……感兴趣”。故填interested。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：这个小男孩对所有这些科目都很感兴趣，尤其是数学。空前是介词，所以空处应填名词作宾语，根据“Zu Chongzhi was one of the greatest mathematicians (数学家) in ancient China.”可推断，祖冲之对数学尤其感兴趣，所以空处填math或者maths。故填math或者maths。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：据记载，他用木棍做所有的工作。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词did，所以use用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语之间是主动关系，用现在分词形式作状语。故填using。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意：他花了很长时间才算出这个值——在531415926和31415927之间。此处是固定句型：it take/took sb. some time to do sth.意为“某事花费某人多久时间去做”，需用it作形式主语，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填It。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：当时没有人能比他做得更好。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰空前的动词，需用副词well，再根据空后的than可知，需用比较级。故填better。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：现在这一成就仍然受到全世界人民的赞扬。空前是冠词，所以空处应填名词作主语，achieve的名词形式是achievement，根据后文is可知，用单数形式。故填achievement。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：然而，当时的政府官员并不同意他的观点。此处是固定搭配：agree with sb.意为“表示同意某人的观点”。故填with。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：在他去世近十年后，新历法终于被接受并投入使用。空处修饰空后的动词，应用副词修饰。故填finally。
【45题详解】

My father asked me to chat with him for a while. Actually, I was unwilling to listen to his talking endlessly as he always did. My father was a lawyer, but I never wanted to go to law school or follow his path through life.
As was expected, he cleared his throat and started to say, “Er … What … What do you really want to do in the beautiful future ”
I was silent for a moment playing with the cell phone. I kept thinking, “Should I tell him my true thoughts What if he gets angry What if I let him down ” Later I replied, “Well, I want to be a writer.”
I guessed this may not be the answer he would expect. But surprisingly, “Interesting idea!” he answered. I was shocked, speaking in a low voice with hesitation.
“Are you serious, Dad ”
“Well, you need confidence and good preparations, and you still have plenty of time. You need to find out what you really enjoy now. Look, it’s late. Let’s take the boat out tomorrow morning, just you and me. Maybe we can catch some crabs (螃蟹) for dinner, and we can talk more.”
Early next morning we packed up the equipment and set off along the coast. We didn’t talk much, but enjoyed the sound of the seabirds and the sight of the coastline.
There were no big waves and blinding sunlight at that time. “Let’s see if we get lucky,” he said, picked up a web basket with a rope tied and threw it into the sea. We waited a while. Then my father stood up and said, “Give me a hand with this,” and we pulled up the crab cage onto the deck.
To our joy, the cage was filled with dozens of soft shell crabs. Squatting (蹲) down, we watched them for a moment. At first they fought against each other to climb out hard, trying to escape. Many were pulled back into the cage. Later, some gave up, but there were still some crabs trying to escape again and again.
Paragraph 1:
At that moment, my father pointed to the cage, “Look at that crab, there!” Staring at the crab, I found that every time he wanted to escape, he was pulled back into the cage. However, he didn’t give up his fight. Fortunately, he survived from the struggle eventually. Shocked and amazed, I suddenly understood why my father had suggested catching crabs that morning. I thought the future would be filled with many possibilities. Everyone would need to find out what he enjoys and hold on to it.
Paragraph 2:
From that day on, I was determined to make my dream come true. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 From that day on, I was determined to make my dream come true. Besides my devotion to schoolwork, I spent all my spare time making full preparations for becoming a writer. Reading, collecting materials and writing made my life busy but fulfilled, which laid a good foundation for me. Meanwhile, I contributed to literary journals. Gradually, some achievements as a writer increased my confidence. I always think of the crab whenever faced with difficulties. What my father said also encouraged me on my way to success. Now I am grateful for sticking to the thing I truly dreamed of.

Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health. Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health.
Gardening involves physical activity that works all the main muscle (肌肉) groups, which is helpful for overall health. “Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, and gardening is listed as a suitable activity. Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Additionally, spending time outdoors makes us get close to natural sunlight, which is important for vitamin D synth.
Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging.
Gardening also offers cognitive (认知的) benefits. It excites the senses, improves focus and encourages problem-solving and creativity. It provides a chance to learn about plants, ecosystems and the environment, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature.

If you live in Shanghai, you might have to take a "lesson" in sorting garbage, as the city recently introduced new garbage-sorting regulations. It's now required that people should sort garbage into four categories, namely recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. However, if people fail to sort their garbage properly, they can be fined up to 200 yuan. More cities are introducing similar regulations, following the practice in Shanghai. By the end of 2020, garbage-sorting systems will have been built in 46 major Chinese cities, including Beijing and Shenzhen, reported People's Daily.
According to a study by the Policy Research Center for Environment and Economy, under the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, over 90 percent of the public believe that garbage sorting is important for the protection of the environment. However, garbage sorting is still a big problem in China. Only 30 percent of participants said they think they are adequately sorting their trash, the study noted.
According to Xinhua News Agency, it's partly because many people lack the willingness to sort their own waste, In the past. Some previous garbage regulations didn't give clear fines for people who failed to sort garbage. "It's a must to have a legal guarantee to promote garbage sorting." Liu Jianguo, a professor from Tsinghua University, told China Daily. He also added "the importance of the new regulations in Shanghai is to change the past voluntary action into compulsory action for everyone.
Aside from China, many other foreign countries have also introduced garbage-sorting regulations. In Japan, waste sorting has become a basic survival skill, reported Xinhua. There is a fixed time for disposal of each kind of garbage and littering can result in high fines and even jail time. In Germany too, people are asked to sort waste into specific categories, reported HuffPost. For example, in Berlin, people have yellow bins for plastic and metals and blue bins for paper and cardboard.
12. What can we learn from paragraph 1
A. All the cities use the same regulations as Shanghai.
B. Shanghai works as a pioneer in garbage sorting.
C. Poisonous waste belongs to four categories in sorting.
D. People will be fined not less than 200 yuan.
13. Which statement is true according to the passage
A. Not all the public attach importance to garbage sorting.
B. Garbage-sorting system have been built in 46 major cities.
C. People may be put in prison because of littering in Germany.
D. People aren't fined clearly if they fail to sort garbage now.
14. What can be inferred from Liu Jianguo's words
A. The sorting action should be changed from compulsory to voluntary.
B. He thinks highly of the legal regulations in garbage sorting.
C. There is a growing concern over garbage sorting worldwide.
D. Legal guarantee is a must to promote garbage sorting.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Regulations Are of Great Importance
B. Shanghai Puts Garbage-sorting Into Practice
C. Cities Get Serious About Waste
D. Garbage Is Hard to Recycle Appropriately
