The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly--and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunch time, I got lucky.
“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”
I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?
In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.
When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”
“How long do I have o wait for him?” I asked impatiently.
“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said.
“The artwork?” I was puzzled.
The chair went back, suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief!

C. The surroundings of the dentist’s office.
D. The laughing assistant of the dentist.

“We haven’t found anything that we can’t recycle!”
Cigarette ends are everywhere—littering our streets and beaches—and for decades they’ve been thought of as “unrecyclable”. But a New Jerseybased company, called TerraCycle, has taken on the challenge, and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette ends and turn them into industrial plastic products. Its aim is to recycle things that people normally consider impossible to reuse.
Obviously it would be even better for the environment if everyone just stopped smoking, but the statistics show that although there has been an increase in anti-smoking ads and messaging, between 2000 and 2014, global sales of cigarettes increased by 8 percent, and a whole lot of those cigarette ends are ending up as trash. Since most of our litter eventually ends up in waterways, cigarette ends can surely pollute the surrounding environment. “It only takes a single cigarette end to pollute a liter of water, ” TerraCycle founder, Tom Szaky, said. “Animals can also mistake littered cigarette ends for food.”
So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful? TerraCycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts. They mix the remaining materials, such as the tobacco and the paper, with other kinds of rubbish; and use it on non-agricultural land, such as golf courses. The filters (过滤嘴) are a little harder. To recycle these, TerraCycle first makes them lean and cuts them into small pieces, and then combines them with other recycled materials, making them into liquid for industrial plastic products.www-2-1-cnjy-com
They’re now also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 80 percent of household waste that currently can’t be recycled, such as chocolate packaging, pens, and mobile phones. The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in landfill (垃圾填埋)，and then get companies to provide money for the process. And so far, it’s working.
“We haven’t found anything that we can’t recycle,” communications director of Terra Cycle, Albe Zakes, said. “But with the amount and variety of packaging and litter in the world, we are always looking for new waste streams to address.”
28. What does Terra Cycle intend to do?
A. To search for recyclable materials for use.
B. To recycle what used to be considered unrecyclable.
C. To produce new kinds of industrial plastic products.
D. To deal with as many cigarette ends as possible.
29. The underlined word “trash” in Paragraph 3 probably means .
A. poison B. rubbish C. disaster D. ruin
30. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The effective use of cigarette ends.
B. The reason for breaking down cigarette ends.
C. The difficulty in recycling cigarette ends.
D. The process of recycling cigarette ends.
31. What Albe said in the last paragraph implies that .
A. TerraCycle is trying to meet the challenge of new waste
B. it is difficult for TerraCycle to recycle everything
C. there is more and more waste to be recycled
D. TerraCycle has successfully recycled a large amount of waste21·世纪*教育网

In the story of “The crow and the Jar” from Aesop’s Fables, a thirsty crow drops stones into a narrow jar to raise the low level of water inside so he can take a drink.【21教育名师】
Now scientists have evidence to support that story. New Caledonian crows actually do understand how to make water displacement（排水量）work to their advantage, experiments showed. The results suggest that the birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first-graders, according to the study.
Researchers, led by Sarah Jelbert at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, presented six crows with tubes filled with water. Inside the tubes, a worm or piece of meat on a piece of wood was floating, just out of reach of the crow. In front of the tubes, the researchers arranged a bunch of heavy rubber erasers that would sink, and light plastic objects that would float. The crows found out that they could drop the heavy objects into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack.
However, the birds handled unskillfully in experiments in which they could choose to drop objects in either a wide tube or a narrow tube to get a snack, the researchers said. Dropping objects into narrow tube would lift the water level by a greater amount and put the treat within reach after just two drops. In contrast, it took around seven drops to raise the snack to the same level in the wide tube. The crows obviously didn’t realize this, and most of them went for the wide tube first.
Previous studies showed that chimps and human children can solve similar tasks. In a 2011 study, chimps and kids found out that they could put water into a tube to reach a peanut that was floating in small amount of water at the bottom.
32. What does the text focus on?
A. Crow’s intelligence B. Aesop’s prediction
C. The development of crows D. Human-animal communication
33. How did the crows get the worm in a tube in Sarah’ experiment?
A. By removing the plastic objects. B. By dropping in the heavy erasers.
C. By standing on the wood. D. By breaking the tube.
34. What does the underlined part “the treat” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The tube. B. The object. C. The snack D. The water.
35. What did the experiment with wide and narrow tubes show?
A. Crows don’t understand water displacement completely.
B. Crows are sensitive to surroundings.
C. Crows are cleverer than chimps and children.
D. Crows have the ability to recognize shapes.
第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Daily to-do lists can help you get focused and organized. Follow these tips to create a good to-do list.
Notice the order.
It may help you to develop some sort of system for your to-do list. 36 You can even use a number system and mark them from 1 to 5. Items that are marked 1 might be done later, while the 5s are tasks you should deal with first.21cnjy.com
Reduce the list.
37 . If you have 15 minutes to spare, find something on the list that you can complete in that time period. You may think that 15 minutes is not enough to do something, but several 15 minutes add up to something huge.
Add in something fun.
Your to-do list is no doubt full of things you may not like. That’s why adding in fun activities and tasks should also be important. A fun item doesn’t feel like work. It may even feel like a break. 38 .
Don’t list too much.
It’s important not to drown yourself. 39 . If there’s too much on your plate or you have to work too fast, you can’t possibly enjoy yourself and you’ll only end up being frustrated and drowned. 21·cn·jy·com
40 .
Your list needs to be organized in a way that makes you feel comfortable. There are many choices nowadays. However, the old-fashioned pen and paper method may work best for you. You can also use the Internet or even your cell phone to keep your list organized.
A. Write it the night before.
B. Certainly every item on the list can’t be equally important.
C. You need to complete tasks or part of tasks one step at a time.
D. When you return to the less interesting items, you’ll be more active to get them done.
E. Everything that goes on your to-do list should be something important that you need to do.
F. Keep it organized.
G. Avoid too much stress.

I remembered spending hours discussing what I’d 52 . A baby’s smile? A stone shining with fool’s gold? Pictures in the clouds, or tulips(郁金香) tipping their heads? I found so many beautiful things that it was 53 to pick just one.
Now, on the road, I played Mother’s game again. I enjoyed the all-green 54 . Thick forests lined both sides of the highway. The long hill pines were seen 55 . Maple leaves danced in the gentle wind. I felt like a little girl again— 56 by beautiful things.
Later in the 57 , after we crossed the Upper Peninsula and drove into Canada, I found the late 58 plants I had been looking for. But by then I’d already seen a million shades of 59 , the limitless variety and beauty that only our God can 60 . And that we can always find—if we look closely enough.

Dear Steve,
How time flies! It’s one year since you came to study Chinese in our school. We’re all grateful for what you have done for us. In the past year, you have helped us a lot, without which we couldn’t have made great progress in English. In addition, during this year, we have learned lots of culture about your country that cannot be found in the textbooks.
Before you leave, many classmates and I intend to hold a farewell party for you, hoping that you can remember the wonderful time we spent together. By the way, the party will be held in our classroom on the afternoon of June 5.
May you have a pleasant journey home and welcome to China again. And we are looking forward to your coming back.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
