People can reduce, reuse or recycle waste instead of throwing it away. Matt and Sam decided to do an
experiment to see how much waste the three R's could save.
First, they collected the rubbish from six classrooms at their school and then divided the rubbish into three
groups:
things that were reusable, such as a pencil or a marker
things that could be recycled, such as cans, glass, or paper
things that were truly waste
Then, Matt and Sam weighed each of the three groups. They discovered that 84% of the total rubbish thrown
away that day could be recycled or reused. They decided to do something about it.
第3页/共8页
Matt and Sam presented the idea of starting a recycling programme to the school leaders. Then they worked
with the Student Council. They prepared brochures for the students and their families about recycling. After
thinking over the possibility of the programme, the school bought colored containers for each classroom. Besides,
each room received a blue container for paper and a green container for glass and cans as well as a red container for
real rubbish.
Within a short time, each classroom in the school was sorting recyclable materials from rubbish before it was
thrown. To check the school’s progress, Matt and Sam weighed the rubbish one more time. They collected the
rubbish from the red containers from the same six classrooms as before, sorted the rubbish into three groups again
and weighed each group. This time, they found that the red containers were filled with 90% real waste. Only 10%
of recyclable materials had been thrown into the red containers. Matt and Sam were pleased with their efforts.
17. Why did Matt and Sam do the experiment
A. To see what could be reused.
B. To see what could be recycled.

Many on the Mountain
We often see people waiting in lines at supermarkets, theatres and amusement parks. Surprisingly, some
people even have to wait in line at the summit (顶峰)of Qomolangma in the Himalayas.
The best time to climb the Himalayas is during the months of April and May, as well as some days in
September and October. "In these periods of recent years, the path contains rocks and deep crack from melting ice
due to the warm weather, which make expeditions up the mountain more dangerous,said Apa, an experienced
Nepalese guide. During this year's climbing season, crowds of climbers became stuck in a long line near the
summit. The line is above the mountain's highest campsite — about 8,000 meters above sea level.
第4页/共8页
However, most people can only spend a few minutes at the summit without extra oxygen supplies. Twenty-one
mountaineers have died in the Himalayan mountains so far this year, according to Gripped, a magazine dedicated to
mountain climbing. Eleven of these climbers died on Qomolangma.
This death count marks a four-year high. Overcrowding, inexperience and poor weather have been the most
common causes of death, USA Today reported.
After these tragedies, one question remains: Why do so many people risk their lives to climb the mountain
The answer differs from climber to climber. Studies suggest that people who take risks tend to perceive themselves
differently than people who avoid risky activities. But for adventurers who are drawn to the Himalayas, reaching
the summit of Qomolangma is a lifelong dream, according to Discovery News.
''Qomolangma is like a light to bugs that attracts people once they hear about it. It represents the ultimate for
many people, '' US mountaineer Alan Arnette said. Technological advances have also encouraged more people to
climb the mountain. People can get high-tech safety equipment more easily than before. And with the internet,
climbers know better than ever about how to reach the summit safely, Yahoo Travel noted.
21. What happened during this year's climbing season on Qomolangma
A. Many climbers got stuck due to a snowstorm.
B. Climbers had to wait in line near the summit.
C. The highest campsite was closed for safety reasons.
D. There were not enough oxygen supplies for climbers.
22. What do we know from the USA Today report
A. 21 climbers have lost their lives on Qomolangma this year.
B. This year's climber death count is four times more than last year's.
C. Climbers who have less experience may have a higher risk of death.
D. Climbers can only spend a few minutes at the summit of Qomolangma.
23. What does the underlined word "perceive” in paragraphs mean
A. Think. B. Change. C. Pretend. D. Promise.
24. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about
A. The risks on Qomolangma.
B. Mountaineers lifelong dream.
C. Causes of mountaineers, deaths.
D. Reasons for climbing Qomolangma.

Fans of art believe that its main purpose is to make us look at life from many different angles. When it comes
to Cubism, however, the artists of this era wanted us to look at life from every angle.
The father of Cubism, Spanish artist Pablo Picasso, is among the art world's most famous names. Like many
other great names before him, he felt restrained by the rules of his teachers and decided to do something: break
them.
Early in his painting career, Picasso realized something important about how people view and remember
scenes of beauty. When we look at a subject, we don’t just see it from one angle, as many paintings appear. Instead,
第5页/共8页
we study the subject from a number of different angles, heights and viewpoints. This is the aim of Cubism: It
portrays subjects from a wide range of angles; it doesn’t force us to see things as the artist viewed them at the time
he or she painted them. To bring his visions to life, Picasso and other Cubists took the most basic components of a
subject and rearranged them in a way which let us see it in full detail.
“By breaking objects and figures down into distinct areas, Picasso aimed to show different viewpoints at the
same time and within the same space,” in the words of the Tate Institution. Or as Lithuanian-born Cubist Jacques
Lipchitz once put it: “Cubism is like standing at a certain point on a mountain and looking around. If you go higher,
things will look different; if you go lower, again they will look different.”
Cubism stood out as it was an art movement which didn't just rely on the artist to share their vision by painting
what they saw. As cubist paintings mainly show their subjects in a deconstructed form, this means that viewers
must use their imaginations to find the missing pieces for themselves. As Guardian art critic Johnathan Jones noted,
this is part of the beauty of enjoying Picasso’s works. “If you can relax your gaze enough and just enjoy the
painting long enough, something really amazing happens. Your mind produces a solid feeling of the things Picasso
was looking at the world is revealed in its majesty,” he wrote.
25. What is a main features of cubist works
A. They are simple pictures. B. They break things down into parts.
C. They are mainly in black and white. D. They present scenes of life to viewers.
26. Why are Jacques Lipchitz’s words quoted
A. To point out the origin of cubism.
B. To compare cubism with other schools of art.
C. To show his understanding of what cubism was.
D. To show that mountains were a common subject in cubism.
27. Which word would Jonathan Jones probably use to describe cubist works
A. Imaginative. B. Traditional. C. Colorful. D. Life-like.
28. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Seeing Every Side. B. The History of Cubism.
C. The Beauty of Enjoying. D. Pablo Picasso: A Great Cubist.

Is traffic a big problem where you live Increased cycling may be the answer. Where are the best places to live
and cycle A new report lists the best bike-friendly cities around the world.

by bicycle. Copenhagen, the city of bikes, is a city where 32 % of workers cycle to work because it's fast and easy.

Barcelona has been praised for its cycle service ''Bicing''，a bicycle service that allows users to take and leave
bicycles at any of the 100 stations spread around the city. The city has created a ''green ring'' that surrounds the city
area of Barcelona with a bike path. There are 3,250 parking spaces for bikes at street level at present. Barcelona
City is also building a new underground car park for bicycles.
The UK has its cycle-friendly cities too. Bristol is the birthplace of ''Sustrans'' — the cycle-route charity which

route. Other bike-friendly cities in the UK include Cambridge and York.
Bicycle is a most popular means of transportation in China. Nowadays, riding a bicycle is also a good way to
