21、In 1996, John Tierney suggested in the New York Times Magazine article that “recycling is garbage.” He wrote, “The money spent on recycling programs should have been spent on real social and environmental problems. Recycling programs not only increase energy use and pollution, but also cost more money than the disposal (处理) of plain old garbage. Recycling may be the most wasteful activity in modern America.”

Environmental groups were quick to express their disagreement. They wrote reports on how recycling programs in cities can reduce pollution and cost less than regular garbage pickup and disposal. Michael Shapiro, an official of the US Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), said that “recycling can be good value for money, although there’s still room for improvements.”

But in 2002, New York City, a pioneer of recycling, found that its recycling program was losing money, so it stopped glass and plastic recycling. Other major cities watched closely to see how New York was dealing with its remaining program (the city never stopped paper recycling). But then it closed its last landfill (垃圾填埋地), and private companies out of New York raised prices due to the increased workload of carrying away and disposing New York’s garbage. As a result, glass and plastic recycling became profitable for the city again, and New York brought the program back. According to Cecil Adams of The Chicago Reader, the lessons learned by New York are relevant everywhere. He believes that, if managed correctly, recycling programs should cost cities less than garbage disposal.

Even though the benefits of recycling over disposal are many, keep in mind that it better serves the environment to “reduce and reuse” before recycling is even considered as a choice.

【1】Why did John Tierney think “recycling is garbage”?

A. Because he considered recycling a wasteful activity.

B. Because he didn’t think recycling was a new idea.

C. Because he found few people would like to recycle.

D. Because he didn’t like the environmental groups.

【2】Which argument was put forward by the environmental groups?

A. Recycling technologies are mature.

B. Recycling programs save money.

C. Recycling programs cause pollution.

D. Recycling technologies are valueless.

【3】Why did other cities watch closely to see how New York was doing?

A. Because New York was doing extremely well.

B. Because they didn’t want to have a recycling program

C. Because they felt worried about the waste of money.

D. Because New York was running a new recycling program.

【4】Which of the following would the author most probably recommend?

A. Always bring your own shopping bag when you go shopping.

B. Always put your shopping bag into the dustbin after use.

C. Never go shopping where shopping bags are offered for free.

D. Never use a shopping bag which is not recycled.

22、One million species face extinction, more than ever before in human history, according to a UN report released in May. And humans should be responsible.

The Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) based the assessment(评估)on some 15, 000 sources considering the causes and results of environ- mental changes over the past 50 years.

The findings are clear and alarming. The researchers have found that about 25 percent of the world’s plants and animals are at risk of extinction. These include sea and land animals. Even the domesticated(驯养的)animals are at risk: Over 9 percent of the domesticated ani- mal species used for food and agriculture might have been lost.

There are some big problems. This rapid decrease of the natural world endangers global food safety and quality of life. For example, about 4 billion people rely on natural medicines, produced by the disappearing species, for their health care. And losses of species that pollinate(授粉)plants threaten up to ＄577 billion in crops each year.

The researchers identified five drivers responsible for the unpleasant news. They think at the top of the list is the change of land and sea use. The change in ecosystems towards agriculture, aquaculture and other human developments has led to changes in the natural living space of species. It is followed by the direct overuse of creatures (harvesting crops, cutting down the trees, hunting and fishing) and climate change, including rising sea levels and increasing extreme-weather events, wildfires, floods and droughts. The final causes of species extinction are pollution, especially plastics, and the spread of non-native species that can displace or kill native plants and animals.

The researchers say it is time for humans to make a change. They think maybe a new global way to save food and refuse waste in our life could turn the tables. Whether that is possible is an open question.

【1】What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To introduce the topic of the text.

B．To introduce the schedule of the report.

C．To introduce humans’ sense of responsibility.

D．To introduce the history of human development.

【2】What does paragraph 3 mainly show?

A．The reliability of the findings.

B．The species of animals worldwide.

C．The seriousness of species’ reduction.

D．The risky experiences of the researchers.

【3】What is the biggest threat of species’ survival according to the researchers?

A．Climate change.

B．Natural disasters.

C．Changes of their living space.

D．The direct overuse of creatures.

【4】What are the researchers in favor of?

A．Changing our living habits.

B．Spreading non-native species.

C．Limiting native plants and animals.

D．Stopping discussing the food problem.

23、Packing a suitcase (行李箱) well is a challenge. You want the clothes to look good when you take them out of the suitcase.

Travel experts recommend using a layer (层) technique: this means you put the items into the suitcase in several layers. First of all, open the suitcase and create the first layer on the bottom. Take the longer clothes, such as dresses or trousers and lay them flat, with the top part inside the suitcase and the bottom half hanging over the side. Next, place your pajamas, T-shirts and underwear in the suitcase as the second layer. Fill any gaps with toiletries, such as soap and shampoo, wrapped in bags to prevent spills.

The third layer is for clothes that might wrinkle easily such as blouses. Fold these clothes tightly and put them into plastic bags to avoid wrinkles. Place them on top of the second layer. Next, take the legs of the trousers or the end of the dresses that you have left hanging over the edge of the suitcase and fold them back over the top of the other clothes. This will stop your dresses or trousers from getting wrinkled.

There will be some space around the edges of the suitcase for shoes. Do not pack too many: choose one pair that you can wear for most occasions. Shoes can get crushed in the suitcase, so stuff them with socks or toiletries. Wrap the shoes in plastic bags so they will not make the clothes dirty.

If there is some space left on top, add a sweater or any other items that you might need during your journey. For example, if the weather turns cold, it will be easy for you to get your sweater without disturbing your tidy packing. Beware of packing too much into a suitcase. You might cause the locks and zippers to break.

【1】Why is packing a suitcase well a challenge?

A．You always have to do it in a hurry.

B．You want to keep clothes in good shape

C．You have to pack all you need into it.

D．You need a good plan before you start.

【2】What do you put in as a second layer?

A．Longer clothes.

C．T-shirts.

D．Sweaters

【3】What are right on the top of the third layer?

A．To keep you warm while leaving the packing tidy.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was a long weekend in May 2018 and my partner, Gabe Rosescu, and I were taking a road trip from my home to visit friends in Nelson. We are both adventurous, and we couldn’t wait to go hiking and exploring. It was our first trip together after six months of dating.

At around 5.30 pm, we were driving on a steep (陡峭) mountain road. I was texting messages to my family and enjoying the view. We weren’t aware there had recently been flooding in the area. When I looked up from my phone, I saw a wave of mud (泥) and an huge tree quickly moving down the mountain, right in front of our car. Gabe tried to brake, but it was too late.

I looked at him and we both said, “Oh, shoot!” .The mudslide sent our car suddenly falling nearly 300 meters down a rocky cliff (悬崖) .It landed on its side among some trees.

I don’t know how long we were unconscious, but I woke up by the sound of Ga bemoaning (呻吟) .He was bending over the steering wheel and there was blood everywhere. Outside my passenger window there was a steep drop. I had broken my breast bones and my right ankle was broken. It was so painful that I couldn’t move my right foot at all. Gabe had broken his nose and cheek bones. Parts of his head were crushed (挤压) and his eyes were damaged. With the side doors and my window crushed shut, the only way out was through the driver’s side window.

We both managed to get out of the car. With no phone signal, all we could do was to scream for help. We were shocked when, after just a few minutes, we heard someone callback.
