21、 Lewis Carroll was the pen-name o£ Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, an English writer and author of two of the best loved children's books in English literature — Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. The characters and phrases from these books have entered and become part of the English lexicon (词典) in a way that was comparable to those from Shakespeare's works.
Charles Dodgson was born on January 27,1832 and spent the first eleven years of his life at Warrington. Dodgson was educated first by homeschooling, then at boarding schools in Richmond and at Rugby, and finally at Charist Church College, Oxford. In later life, he remembered his boarding school experience with no fondness. Still, he was an excellent student and did very well academically throughout. For all his brilliance or perhaps because of it, he couldn't be bothered to spend long hours studying and so he didn't. If things came easily, that was fine; if they didn't, well, that doesn't seem to have bothered him overmuch.
His book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland first came into being in 1862 as a story he made up for Alice Liddell, the ten-year-old daughter of his friend Dean Henry Liddell. Later he wrote it down and showed the book, illustrated with his own drawings, to another friend, the fairy tale writer George Macdonald and his children. They loved it and enthusiastically urged him to get it published. Accordingly, Dodgson revised it for publication. And in 1865, with illustrations more professionally done by Sir John Tenniel, it became an immediate bestseller. Its sequel (续集) Through the Looking-Glass proved equally popular.
【1】What does paragraph 1 intend to tell us?
A.Charles Dodgson was more famous than Shakespeare.
B.Charles Dodgson had great achievements in literature.
C.Charles Dodgson once worked on the English lexicon.
D.Charles Dodgson was a writer with a few works.
【2】What do we know about Charles Dodgson from paragraph 2?
A.He was a hard-working student.
B.He struggled with his studies,
C.He received very little schooling.
D.He performed high study efficiency.
【3】What probably led to the publication of Alice's Adventures in Wonderlands
A.The persuasion from George Macdonald.
B.The help from Dean Henry Liddell.
C.The guidance of Sir John Tenniel.
D.The demand of a publisher.
【4】When Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland first came into being, Charles Dodgson ________.
A.had a little boy as its main character
B.wrote it just for his children
C.was sure it could be popular
D.didn't expect it to be published
22、On a boat near Costa Rica, a team of marine biologist is helping a turtle. The animal is having trouble breathing, and the team discovers why—there is something inside its nose. A scientist tries to extract the object, but the turtle cries in pain. Finally after eight long minutes, a long object is pulled out. It is a 10-centimeter plastic straw.
The video of the turtle's rescue has been viewed millions of times on YouTube. It has helped raise awareness of a growing problem: The world's seas are full of plastic. Since 2000, there has been a huge increase worldwide plastic production, but we recycle less than one-fifth of it. A lot of this plastic waste' ends up in the ocean. Today, scientists think about 8.1 billion kilograms goes into the sea every year from costal regions. Most of this plastic will never break into little pieces.
This ocean plastic hurts millions of sea animals every year. Some fish eat plastic because it is covered with sea plants, and it looks and smells like food. “In some cases, eating sharp pieces of plastic can seriously hurt sea animals and even result in death,” says marine biologist Matthew Savoca.
Plastic is useful to people because it is strong and lasts a long time, but this is bad news for sea creatures who eat or get stuck in it. According to Savoca, Single-use plastics are the worst.” These are items that are used only once before we throw them away. Some common examples include straws, water bottles, and plastic bags. About 700 sea species have been caught in or have eaten this kind of plastic. Luckily, the turtle survived and was released back into the ocean. How will plastic affect sea animals in the long term? “I think we’ll know the answers in 5 to 10 years’ time,” says an expert from Columbia University. But by then, another 25 million tons of plastic will already be in the ocean.
【1】Which of these questions is answered in Paragraph 1?
A.Where was the scientist from?
B.When did the incident take place?
C.What was the cause of the turtle's pain?
D.How did the scientists remove the object?
【2】What does “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The video.
B.The turtle.
C.YouTube.
D.The Plastic.
【3】Why are the seas full of plastic waste?
A.Because sea animals consume plastic.
B.Because more plastic is produced than recycled.
C.Because plastic can be dissolved in the sea quickly.
D.Because other places are already full of plastic waste.
【4】What can be concluded from the text?
A.Single-use plastics are people's favorite.
B.Plastic waste can cause deadly damage to sea animals.
C.More than 700 sea species can survive the ocean plastic.
D.The ocean’s plastic problem will be solved in a decade.
23、 "Basically,in life,rule of thumb:if you don't absolutely have to clean anything,don't clean it."Fashion designer Stella McCartney said this in an interview with the Observer this weekend.Instead,she says,the"rule"is to"let the dirt dry and you brush it off".
It may have been a throwaway comment at the end of the interview,but something about this line impressed readers—many of whom have been doing several loads of laundry a week.So does she have a point?Is it better to avoid washing your clothes?
This isn't the first time that McCartney has recommended not washing our clothes.In fact,she has long advocated avoiding the washing machine-both for the longevity of the clothes,but also because of the effect washing them has on the environment.
Laura Diáz Sánchez,from the Plastic Soup Foundation advocacy group,agrees with this,particularly when it comes to high-street clothes,which contain more synthetic materials such as polyester(聚酯纤维)and acrylic(腈纶).
"Every time we wash our clothes an average of nine million[plastic]microfibres are released into the environment,"she tells BBC News."The way we wash our clothes affects it,as well as the way our clothes are made-but the more we wash our clothes,the more microfibres are released."
When you do wash,she recommends setting the machine to a lower temperature and using liquid detergent:"Powder detergent creates more friction(摩擦)between the clothes[during washing],so more fibres are released,while liquid is smoother.The less friction there is in general,the fewer fibres are released."
She advises against overloading washing machines for the same reason-fewer clothes in the drum means there's less friction.But it's not just about microfibres.Washing an item of clothing too often can largely shorten its lifespan,meaning that you're more likely to throw it out and buy something new.
【1】Why does McCartney suggest not washing clothes?
A.To buy something more fashionable.
B.To make her interview more interesting.
C.To reduce the impact on the environment.
D.To avoid releasing microfibres.
【2】What does the underlined words"this line"in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.The rule. B.The newspaper.
C.The interview. D.The comment.
【3】According to Laura Diáz Sánchez,what can we do to release less microfibres?
A.Use powder detergent rather than liquid detergent.
B.Wash fewer clothes at a time.
C.Set the washing machine at a normal temperature.
D.Avoid using washing machines.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Why we should stop washing clothes.
B.A practical rule of washing clothes.
C.Fashion designer's recommendations.
D.How to lengthen clothes'lifespan.
