26、 It's rare for pupils to have left the city or even to have gone anywhere in particular within the city. Whenever I ask some of my French high school pupils why they don't go outside, the answer always seems to be one of the followings: sleeping, seeing my friends or playing video games. Of course, these are simply excuses. In their mind, going outside to have fun means costing a large amount of money.
Money isn't easy to get when you're young. While Christmas and birthdays can leave you much pocket money, it is a temptation to use it up as soon as you've got it rather than putting it aside for a rainy day. Actually, you'd better think twice about how to use it.
We can have fun without money as well. At weekends and during holidays when I still lived in Scotland, I loved nothing more than being out and staying with my friends and family. But I took full advantage of the swimming dance and language clubs that were on offer in my school and university. In France, most school pupils have Wednesday afternoons free. Some of them use that time to go to the cinema or do some shopping in the supermarket. However, most of them will have entertainment that doesn't have to cost them money.
A couple of weeks ago, I started a weekly English club at my school. I wanted to give pupils the chance to practice and improve their conversational language skills. I was a little worried that the young pupils wouldn't choose my English club, especially when the traditional Wednesday afternoon sports clubs and training sessions were available. However, I was pleasantly surprised that many pupils did turn up later.
Yes, we all need a change of scenery and a break from our usual routine from time to time, but entertainment can be simple, and it doesn't always come with a price tag（标签）!
【1】Why do some pupils rarely leave their city in the author's view?
A.They must work hard at subjects.
B.They have no time to enjoy their life.
C.They prefer to make some friends.
D.They feel it impossible to go outside without much money.
【2】In France, what do the majority of pupils usually do on Wednesday afternoons?
A.Go swimming and dancing.
B.Go to the cinema with their friends.
C.Have entertainment without costing money.
D.Getting something for free in the supermarket.
【3】What is the best title for the passage？
A.Teaching is important B.Entertainment is necessary
C.Money isn't everything D.Have fun without money
27、Dear Teenage Self,
Oh, how I wish you could see what I see now. I’m older, and life has made me wiser. Nothing is the way I thought it would be. It’s so much better.
When I look back, I see you as one person but I know there were two of you: one that the world saw and the private one that only you knew. I remember the nights and days filled with worry, sadness, and confusion. I remember being both of you. I remember the smile I would show to my friends and then I remember the tears no one knew that I cried behind my closed bedroom door.
Oh, how I wish I knew that everything would be okay someday. But, I probably wouldn’t have believed it at the time.
Oh, how I remember those teenage years as the most painful years of my life. Living under a microscope. Everything was magnified (放大). I know it’s hard to believe, but your teenage feelings, friendships, family, and appearance are way out of proportion (比例). You think that whatever happens will stay that way forever. Nothing is farther from the truth.
Steve Carrell said it best in Little Miss Sunshine after Paul Dano told him that he just wants to go to sleep and wake up when he’s 18. Steve Carrell answered, “What? High school — those are your prime suffering years. They don’t get better suffering than that.” “Do you know Marcel Proust? He had a painful life. He gets to the end of his life and he looks back and decides that all those years he suffered, those were the best years of his life because they made him who he was. All those years when he was happy, you know ... a total waste. He didn’t learn a thing. Sleep until you’re 18? Think of the suffering you’ll miss.”
It’s hard to believe, but it’s true. Your teenage years were the best suffering of your life. Those painful breakups, lonely nights, and tears cried are the times that make you stronger, smarter and sculpt (塑造) you to become the rock-solid adult that you will become.
【1】Who might be the writer of the letter?
A.Paul Dano. B.Marcel Proust. C.An adult. D.A teenager.
【2】By “Nothing is farther from the truth”, the writer means that ________.
A.nothing stays the same B.teenage feelings are easy to hurt
C.everything remains unchanged D.teenage years are hard to tolerate
【3】What can we infer from Steve Carrell’s words?
A.Adolescence is disappointing. B.Adolescence promotes personal growth.
C.Blaming others is meaningless. D.Sleeping late benefits teenagers’ health.
【4】Which of the following sayings best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A.It is never too late to learn. B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C.Actions speak louder than words. D.There is a rainbow after every storm.
28、 Dazzling (眼花缭乱) with their bright colors and eye — catching displays, fireworks light up our night skies during the holidays. However, these crowd -pleasers can have some damaging side effects. Once a firework is set off, it only takes a couple of seconds before smoke, dust and harmful chemicals are let out into the atmosphere. The loud booming noises are caused by gunpowder. While the sounds may excite some people, they can be frightening to domestic and wild animals — as well as some humans.
The pretty colors you see are a result of more chemicals. Barium, added to make green, is known for its poisonous and radioactive qualities. Blue comes from copper compounds. Cadmium, lithium and lead — all found in fireworks — have been linked to diseases, such as allergies and skin rashes in both humans and animals. Acid rain has been linked to gases given off by fireworks, which sometimes go beyond the toxin (毒素) limits of the United States Clean Air Act.
Once all those chemicals come back down to the ground, they can cause problems too. Debris (碎片) from the fireworks falls to the ground, where animals can bum their paws or noses on piping hot pieces. Humans also are at risk of stepping on or picking up something sharp or hot. Meanwhile, debris that finds its way into waterways can damage animal habitats and water supply sources. Instead of setting off fireworks, try to come up with some new ways for fun. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Sky lanterns — a tradition that originated long ago in the most-populated Asian country.
Party crackers — a favorite in the United Kingdom — give you noise and surprises without the mess of fireworks. You can make your own or buy eco-friendly crackers.
Want noise excitement with less volume? Consider a fireworks sound recording beforehand or break out the party horns (号角) and blow up a storm!
【1】The advantages of fireworks can be seen below EXCEPT that _________.
A.the special sounds of fireworks excite people
B.the pretty and bright colors add to the beauty of night skies
C.fireworks are enjoyed as one of the crowd-pleasers
D.debris from fireworks can even find its way into water
【2】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Chemicals in fireworks are both poisonous and dangerous.
B.Too much gases from fireworks can result in acid rain.
C.Copper compounds are needed to make green in fireworks.
D.Chemicals in fireworks are harmful in the air and on the ground.
【3】What is implied from the passage?
A.Gunpowder in fireworks makes loud booming noises.
B.It must be Indians who first started to hang sky lanterns.
C.Fireworks can even break the balance of nature.
D.Fireworks does less harm in the air than on the ground.
【4】What can be concluded as the writer’s attitude towards fireworks?
A.It is not allowed to set off fireworks except during the holidays.
B.Night is the best time to set off fireworks and see the pretty colors.
C.You cannot set off fireworks unless you come up with new ways.
D.Fireworks should be banned and replaced by some other means.
29、 The idea of turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing is not new. During the past five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric to deal with plastic pollution. But there’s a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers (微纤维) could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.
Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara, California, has been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years. He explains that every time synthetic (合成的) clothes go into a washing machine, a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing machines can’t collect these microfibers. So every time the water gets out of a washing machine, microfibers enter the sewer and finally end up in the sea.
In 2011, Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic clothing can produce more than 1,900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples (样本) from seawater and freshwater sites around the world, and used a special way to examine each sample. He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers.
This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can absorb (吸收) other pollutants.
Based on this evidence, it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental “solution”. Even though the science has been around for a while, Browne explains that he’s had a difficult time getting companies to listen. When he asked well-known clothing companies to support Benign by Design, his research project that seeks to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didn’t get a satisfying answer. Only one women’s clothing company, Eileen Fisher, offered Browne funding.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?
A.Microfibers, the biggest source of plastic in the sea
B.Recycled plastic clothing: solution or pollution?
C.Environmental protection : moving forward or backward?
D.Turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing, a new step in environmental protection

31、
PISA is a two-hour test that compares the performance of 15-year-olds. In the latest test, the countries with the best readers were South Korea and Finland. But students in Shanghai. China, scored the highest of all in reading, mathematics and science. The next【1】 results were in Hong Kong. Singapore, Canada, New Zealand and Japan.
