27、Masks that helped save lives are proving a deadly danger for wildlife, with birds and sea creatures trapped in the shocking number of thrown-away facial coverings. Single-use masks have been found around pavements, waterways and beaches worldwide. Worn once, the thin protective materials can take hundreds of years to decompose. “Face masks aren't going away any time soon—but when we throw them away, these items can harm the environment and the animals,” Ashley Fruno of animal rights group PETA said.
In Britain, a gull was rescued by the RSPCA after its legs became tangled in the straps of a mask for up to a week. The animal welfare charity took it to a wildlife hospital for treatment before its release.
The biggest impact may be in the water. More than 1.5 billion masks made their way into the world's oceans last year, accounting for around 6,200 extra tonnes of ocean plastic pollution, according to environmental group Oceans Asia.
Conservationists in Brazil found one mask inside the stomach of a penguin after its body was washed up on a beach, while a dead pufferfish was discovered caught inside another off the coast of Miami. French campaigners found a dead crab trapped in a mask near the Mediterranean. Masks and gloves are “particularly problematic” for sea creatures, says George Leonard, chief scientist from NGO Ocean Conservancy. “When those plastics break down in the environment, they then enter the food chain and impact entire ecosystems.” he added.
There has been a shift towards greater use of reusable cloth masks as the pandemic has worn on, but many are still using the lighter single-use varieties. Campaigners have urged people to bin them properly and cut the straps to reduce the risk of animals becoming trapped. Oceans Asia has also called on governments to increase fines for littering and encourage the use of washable masks.
【1】What's Paragraph 1 mainly about?
A．The problem of littering masks.
B．The long time to break down masks.
C．The threat of masks to wildlife.
D．The protective use of masks to people.
【2】What did the animal welfare charity do to the gull?
A．They gave first aid to the bird.
B．They released the bird at once.
C．They kept the bird for about a week.
D．They sent the bird to hospital.
【3】How is Paragraph 4 developed?
A．By providing examples.
B．By giving explanations.
C．By making comparisons.
D．By analyzing causes.
【4】Which measure has been taken to help solve the problem?
A．Forbidding the use of single-use masks.
B．Wearing reusable cloth masks.
C．Cutting the masks up before throwing.
D．Increasing fines for binning masks.
28、Los Angeles is always a popular holiday destination. To fully enjoy your travel there, you should know its food, weather, and also traffic. While driving in L. A. is similar to that in other areas, there are a few specific rules to note.
HOV lanes (车道)
On many L. A. freeways, one or more lanes at the far left are used as high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. They usually have limited access and you can only enter or exit where there is a break in the double yellow line. Most HOV lanes require a minimum of two people in the car; some require three. Vehicles towing trailers (拖车) are NOT allowed in the HOV lane, regardless of how many people are in them.
Toll (收费) lanes
On certain freeways, the HOV lanes are double-purposed as toll lanes for people driving alone who have a FasTrak, an electronic toll collection system. Therefore, you also have to have one in that lane as a HOV, which is inconvenient if you’re just visiting. FasTrak is in effect on parts of the 110 freeway between the 405 and 10 freeways, and on parts of the 10 freeway east of Downtown L. A.
Cell phones
It is against the law to talk on a cell phone while driving without using a hands-free device. Holding a cell phone to your ear while driving will land you with a ticket.
Alcohol
Driving under the influence is taken seriously in L.A. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08%, but you can be charged with lower levels if they show you can’t function normally. Placing an opened bottle of alcohol in the passenger area while driving (or sitting) is illegal. Any opened container of alcohol has to be transported in the trunk.
【1】What do you know about HOV lanes?
A．They encourage people to share cars.
B．They are on the far right of freeways.
C．They are intended for larger vehicles.
D．They allow cars to enter over the double yellow line.
【2】Which is surely against the road rules in L. A.?
A．Driving on the 110 freeway with a FasTrak.
B．Putting the cell phone in the car while driving.
C．Riding with an opened bottle of alcohol in back seats.
D．Going below the blood alcohol limit of 0. 08%.
【3】Where is the text most probably taken from?
A．A traffic law.
B．A road map.
C．A guidebook.
D．A report.
29、Types of Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers (灭火器) are marked according to the kind of fire on which they should be used. Using the wrong type of extinguisher can be dangerous and make things worse.
Type A extinguishers are used for fires on paper, cloth, wood, rubber, many plastics and so on. These types of fires usually leave ashes when they burn, so use Type A extinguishers for fires that leave ashes.
Type B extinguishers are used for burning liquids, such as oil, gasoline, and paints. These substances often come in barrel-shaped (桶形的) containers, so use Type B extinguishers for such barrels.
Type C extinguishers are used for electrical fires. Electricity travels in a circuit (电路), so use Type C extinguishers for circuits.
Remember, A is for Ashes, B is for Barrels, and C is for Circuits. Make sure you have the correct type of fire extinguisher before you try to use it.
Using a Fire Extinguisher
To help you remember how to use a fire extinguisher, learn PAPS. PAPS stands for Pull, Aim, Press, and Sweep.
Pull the pin (销) at the top of the extinguisher cylinder (圆筒).

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Hundreds of years ago, Charles Darwin predicted that facial expressions of emotion are 【1】. If you’ve ever seen an episode of the popular US TV drama Lie To Me, you will really understand facial expressions. The leading actor of the show, Dr. Cal Lightman has spent 20 years studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions, which allows him to point out other people’s studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions which allows him to point out other people’s 【2】 and on many occasions, to be skilled at tricking in order to get the truth.
Is there really much truth behind this science of 【3】 human emotions through expressions? Paul Ekman, a(n) 【4】 psychologist whose work focuses on mapping facial expressions, is Lie To Me’s scientific advisor and the following are some of his explanations.
Hand-to-face gesture indicates a lie.
Each micro-expression is unique to 【5】 specific emotions because the person is often unaware of doing it. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are lying when someone uses a hand to hide part of his face. The person could be holding back information but you may better consider looking at other more important clues rather than just the simple hand-to-face gesture.
A liar refuses eye contact.
People look away when they are thinking carefully and considering each word before it is spoken, not just when they are 【6】 an excuse. Oblique eyebrows are a very reliable 【7】of sadness and few people can make this 【8】 expression, so it is actually never faked.
Guilty knowledge technique is 【9】.
Lightman often uses the guilty knowledge technique, mentioning something that only the guilty person will know about and show a(n)【10】. This is often used in polygraph exams: “Was the person strangled, shot or stabbed to death?” Only the killer knows and is likely to respond physiologically when the actual weapon is mentioned.
