I work at a university in the USA where my team and I are trying to learn more about the American black duck, a kind of water bird. And now we are using an exciting piece of equipment (设备) called a“night vision scope”. By using it, we can see the ducks in the dark.
We're worried about black ducks mainly because their numbers are falling hugely. And we don't know whether there's enough food on the east coast for these birds. There's lots of information about their daytime activities, but nothing about what they do at night, because we simply don't have the equipment. But this new “scope” will make really clear pictures, even on moonless nights, so we will be able to find out more about the ducks.
It is very hard work. There are four of us, and we each work six hours every day. We study ducks in different places, and I sometimes have to take a boat to where I need to work. The weather is not helpful because most of the time it's wet. Oh, and it's so quiet that sometimes I need coffee to stop me from falling asleep.
But I like this job. Over the summer, we will spend hours in a laboratory (实验室), where we will look at our results together. It will be hard to stay there every day because of the hot weather — but it is very important to do this!【21教育名师】
( )16. What does the underlined word “hugely” mean?
A. Cheaply. B. Loudly. C. Greatly. D. Carefully.
( )17. What does the writer's team hope to find out about American black ducks?
A. What they do at night.
B. What food they live on.

( )18. When the writer spends a long time watching ducks, he _______.
A. often finds it is boring
B. is glad to be in a quiet place
C. dislikes the high temperatures
D. sometimes finds it hard to stay awake
( )19. What does the writer say about working in a laboratory over the summer?
A. He enjoys the working place.
B. It's an important part of his job.
C. He will study the results by himself.
D. It's a good way to work with other people.
( )20. The writer writes the passage mainly to _______.

If you take a look at your closet (衣柜), how many clothes do you actually need or use? Many people may buy clothes in a hurry and they may never wear them again. What do you do with them? Each year, many clothes are thrown away. Why don’t you donate the old clothes to others in need? But how to do it?www.21-cn-jy.com
◆Clean out your closet. This makes it easier to find which clothes you want to give away later on.
◆Check out shelters (收容所) across the city. Find out their phone numbers and make a few calls to see which one needs clothes.
◆Take the clothing to your local churches (教堂) or other charity organizations. Don’t just put it on the doorstep. Find a manager to make sure the church wants or needs the clothing.
Advice: To make this more fun, before you go out and look for shelters or organizations, hold a “clothing exchange” party. You’ll find that your old clothes may be someone’s treasures (财富).

Lauren Singer is a green person. She has produced almost no waste in the past two years. She is trying her best to reduce waste.
There was a moment that brought Lauren to do so. “One of my classmates in the college often brought food packaged ( 包 装) in plastic bags to class. She threw a lot of trash,” Lauren said. “I wanted to be a green girl, not the plastic girl like her! So I made the decision to eliminate all plastic from my life.”
It hasn’t been easy for her to be green. “I stopped buying packaged products and began bringing my own bags to fill with products at the supermarket,” she explained. “I stopped buying new clothes and shopped only second hand. I only bought things that were really necessary. I donated some used but good things, such as books and jeans. I even made my own toothpaste and laundry detergent (洗衣粉).”Lauren founded her own eco-friendly company,
The Simply Co., to sell her homemade products. Although Lauren says the journey has been hard, she is happy. While protecting the environment, she saves a lot of money. She also eats healthily because she never buys packaged food.

I work at a university in the USA where my team and I are trying to learn more about the American black duck, a kind of water bird. And now we are using an exciting piece of equipment (设备) called a“night vision scope”. By using it, we can see the ducks in the dark.
We're worried about black ducks mainly because their numbers are falling hugely. And we don't know whether there's enough food on the east coast for these birds. There's lots of information about their daytime activities, but nothing about what they do at night, because we simply don't have the equipment. But this new “scope” will make really clear pictures, even on moonless nights, so we will be able to find out more about the ducks.
It is very hard work. There are four of us, and we each work six hours every day. We study ducks in different places, and I sometimes have to take a boat to where I need to work. The weather is not helpful because most of the time it's wet. Oh, and it's so quiet that sometimes I need coffee to stop me from falling asleep.
But I like this job. Over the summer, we will spend hours in a laboratory (实验室), where we will look at our results together. It will be hard to stay there every day because of the hot weather — but it is very important to do this!【21教育名师】

Ⅴ. 任务型阅读（每小题1分，共10分）
根据材料内容，用正确的信息完成表格，每空一词(含缩略形式)。
If you take a look at your closet (衣柜), how many clothes do you actually need or use? Many people may buy clothes in a hurry and they may never wear them again. What do you do with them? Each year, many clothes are thrown away. Why don’t you donate the old clothes to others in need? But how to do it?www.21-cn-jy.com
◆Clean out your closet. This makes it easier to find which clothes you want to give away later on.
◆Check out shelters (收容所) across the city. Find out their phone numbers and make a few calls to see which one needs clothes.
◆Take the clothing to your local churches (教堂) or other charity organizations. Don’t just put it on the doorstep. Find a manager to make sure the church wants or needs the clothing.
Advice: To make this more fun, before you go out and look for shelters or organizations, hold a “clothing exchange” party. You’ll find that your old clothes may be someone’s treasures (财富).

Now we are trying to build an economized society. It’s time for us to do something useful. 21-cnjy*com
Each of us can do a little bit to help build an economized society. First, make sure that the lights are turned off when we leave the room. Second, when we eat, we’d better not use one-off chopsticks. Third, we should use both sides of the paper. By doing this, we can save many trees. What’s more, it is important for us to form the habit of saving water and food.
I believe if we all take action, we’ll make a big difference
