21、 One of the problems damaging our planet is the number of things we throw away. Rubbish of all kinds is piling up in landfill and polluting our rivers and oceans. A more recent addition to the list of things we throw away is e-waste—electronic items that are broken and not recycled. Now solutions are being found to give this stuff a new life.
Many millions of tons of televisions, phones, and other electronic equipment are discarded each year, partly because it’s cheaper to replace them than fix them, but also because we lack the skills to repair them. A UN report claims the 50 million tons of e-waste produced every year will more than double to 110 million tons by 2050, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the world.
However, there's a growing trend for repair events and clubs which could be part of a solution to the growing amount of electrical and electronic junk. The BBC visited a Restart Project in London, which is one of many found around the world. One of its volunteers, Francesco Calo, said that "this project allows you to reduce waste, make the life of objects longer, and it helps people who cannot afford to get rid of items that have developed a fault. '
As many electrical items contain valuable metals, another idea is e-waste mining. An experiment at the University of New South Wales involves extracting(提取)these materials from electrical items. It’s thought that doing this could be more profitable than traditional mining. With phones typically containing as many as 60 elements, this could be part of the solution to our appetite for new technology.
These projects make total sense — collection of e-waste for recycling are 'stagnating' (停滞不前的) or even 'decreasing' according to Ruediger Kuehr of the United Nations University. And in countries where there is no legislation(立法), much of it is just thrown away. However, the European Union, for example, is trying to deal with the problem by insisting that manufacturers have to make appliances longer-lasting and will have to supply spare parts for machines for up to 10 years.
【1】What does the underlined word 'discarded' in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.recycled B.thrown away C.dealt with D.produced
【2】What do we know about the Restart Project in London according to the text?
A.It helps people to use their electronics longer in order to reduce waste.
B.It collects all kinds of electronic items that are broken.
C.It encourages people to get rid of items that have developed a fault.
D.It is one of the famous clubs in the world.
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards these projects?
A.Negative. B.Positive. C.Neutral. D.Critical.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Giving the rubbish a new life B.The fastest growing waste stream
C.Solving the problem of e-waste D.The importance of recycling
22、Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani student and education activist who began speaking out for girls’ education at the age of 11. After surviving an assassination (暗杀) at the age of 15, she co-founded the Malala Fund with her father to create a world where girls everywhere could be educated without fear. Her fund supports every girl’s right to 12 years of free, safe, quality education and works mainly in countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and Nigeria.
Malala believes girls are the best investment (投资) in the future peace and further development of our world. It will never be a wrong choice to spend money on girls.
In 2014 the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded Kailash Satyarthi and Malala Yousafzai the Nobel Peace Prize for their fight against the suppression (镇压) of children and young people and for the right of all children to education. Malala became the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Accepting the award, Malala said, “This award is not just for me. It is for those forgotten children who want education. It is for those frightened children who want peace. It is for those voiceless children who want change.”
In her new picture book, Malala’s Magic Pencil, Malala returns to her childhood to teach young readers about the importance of hope, believing in magic, and making the world a better place.
Malala’s first book, her personal life story co-written with Christina Lamb, I Am Malala: How One Girl Stood Up for Education and Changed the World, was published in 2013. She is also the subject of the 2015 film He Named Me Malala.

23、When people think about improving their physical fitness, they often neglect (忽视) balance. Good balance is a necessary part of being physically fit and key to living a long life, according to research. It’s important for everyone, no matter your age.
Older adults are most affected by poor balance. Falls are the leading cause of injury and death for those 65 and older, with nearly 30% in this age group reporting at least one fall in 2018, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But younger adults frequently fall down, too.
Forty-eight percent of young adults reported falling at least once during one 16-week study. The falls most commonly happened during sports activities, with women in the study reporting more falls and fall-related injuries than men.
Falls within the previous two years were reported by 18% of young adults (ages 20 to 45) in another study published in the journal BMC Public Health. That figure (数据) compared with 21% of middle-aged adults (46 to 65) reporting falls and 35% of those over 65. While falls among young adults were often connected with sports, falls by the middle-aged group were typically related to health problems and physical changes.
Many factors (因素) can affect your balance outside of age, such as vision changes, brain injuries, overweight and a general lack of physical fitness. Even if you have no risk factors, simply neglecting to work regularly on your balance will result in increased instability (不稳定性).
“Our body is conditioned to lose what we don’t regularly use and practice, and balance is no different,” said Susan Baxter.
【1】What role does a good balance play in our lives?
A．It helps us live a healthy and long life.
B．It enables us to build a perfect shape.
C．It protects us from getting seriously sick.
D．It has the power to make us look young.
【2】How does the author show the research results?
A．By having a discussion.
B．By following the time order.
C．By raising questions.
D．By giving a list of figures.
【3】In which situation are young adults likely to fall down?
A．When a health problem comes up.
B．When working regularly.
C．When a physical change appears.
D．When joining in a sport.
【4】What can we learn from what Susan Baxter said?
A．We’ll lose our balance if we don’t practise it often.
B．Our body is used to working in its own way.
C．We should manage our body properly.
D．We are naturally born with balance.
24、James Joyce called Dublin the “center of paralysis (瘫痪),” and complained in a letter: “How sick I am of Dublin! It is the city of failure and unhappiness. I long to be out of it.” He spent the last 30 years of his life settling for periods in Trieste, Rome, Zurich, Paris-anywhere but Dublin.
It is a noticeable irony that his masterpiece Ulysses is not only set in Dublin, but never allows us to forget it. The novel tells the story of the hour-by-hour events of one day in Dublin—June 16, 1904, as an ordinary Dubliner, Leopold Bloom, makes his way through the urban landscape, the journey of a modern-day Ulysses, Streets, shops, pubs, churches, bridges—something of Dublin pops up on nearly every page. The city is always there no matter how difficult to understand Joyce’s prose (散文) becomes.
Bloomsday—June 16—is an annual celebration among Joyce fans throughout the world, from Fort Lauderdale to Melbourne. It is celebrated in at least 60 countries worldwide, but nowhere so imaginatively, of course, as in Dublin. There the events of Leopold Bloom’s day are acted out all across Dublin by anyone who cares to participate.
At lunchtime, it’s traditional to stop off for a glass of wine and a Gorgonzola sandwich at Davy Byme’s Pub on Duke Street, just as Bloom did. In the afternoon, the Ormond Hotel, where Bloom had feelings for the barmaids in the Sirens chapter, is the spot for an afternoon drink.
The years since 1904 have made following Bloom’s exact route impossible—Bloom’s home at 7 Eccles Street no longer exists and the red-light district, in which the unreal Circe chapter takes place, has been leveled; only the street pattern remains.
Bloomsday celebrations also feature readings of Ulysses, James Joyce lookalike contests, various other semi-literary activities, and a good excuse for drinking a few Guinnesses. In the eyes of many, it’s easier and a lot more fun than trying to work your way through the novel.
【1】What does the underlined word “irony” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Joyce hated Dublin but showed his love for it in Ulysses.
B．Joyce complained about Dublin but still spent time there.
C．Joyce disliked Dublin but his novel set in it was impressive.
D．Joyce’s prose was hard to understand despite being successful.
【2】The novel Ulysses is mentioned to ________.
A．prove the greatness of Joyce’s literary works.
B．clarify the misunderstanding about Joyce.
C．show Joyce’s hidden love for Dublin.
D．introduce the origin of Bloomsday.
【3】According to the article, Bloomsday ________.
A．started on June 16, 1904 in Dublin.
B．is a day to celebrate James Joyce and Ulysses.
C．is celebrated worldwide every other year.
D．is a holiday for people to fully explore Dublin.
【4】Which of the following is a typical Bloomsday celebration?
A．Taking part in Ulysses reading contests.
B．Trying to set a Guinness record in drinking.
C．Following Blooms’s route to visit the red-light district.
D．Experiencing certain scenes described in Ulysses
