21、The LEGO Group, whose plastic building toys are familiar to many people, has been working on making LEGO bricks out of recycled plastic. The bricks aren't ready yet, but the company says it's making progress.
Since roughly 1960, LEGO bricks have been made from ABS plastic which makes LEGO bricks very tough and gives them great clutch power so that the things users build don't fall apart easily. Sadly, ABS plastic can't really be recycled and it takes an extremely long time to break down.
However, since 2015, LEGO has been trying to make earth-friendly products. Making bricks from recycled materials could cut pollution from the company's bricks by 70%. But making bricks out of recycled plastic is challenging. The goal is to make bricks out of PET plastic, which is softer than ABS plastic and can be found in things like bottles and clothing. A recycled one-liter plastic bottle could make about ten 2×4 LEGO bricks. Over the past three years, the company has tested over 250 different ways of creating LEGO bricks from recycled plastic. A team of more than 150 people are working on the problem. Tim Brooks,who focuses on environmental responsibility at LEGO, says that experimenting and failing is “an important part of learning”.
Now, the company says they can make a good 2×4 brick from PET. One important step was finding a way of adding things to PET plastic to make it tougher and give it better clutch power like ABS. They will also work on shaping bricks into other forms and adding color to them-right now they are just white. The bricks will go through many different tests, which will take at least a year.
The company aims to make all their main products out of sustainable materials by the year 2030. “We know kids care about the environment and we want to tell them we're working on it.” said Mr. Brooks.
【1】Which of the following can best describe LEGO bricks made from ABS plastic?
A．Strong and firm.
B．Recyclable and soft.
C．Cheap and familiar.
D．Popular and new.
【2】Why is LEGO working on making PET plastic bricks?
A．Because the company wants to show that it's making progress.
B．Because this has always been LEGO's goal since its foundation.
C．Because using PET plastic bricks can reduce pollution to the earth.
D．Because PET plastic bricks are much softer and cheaper.
【3】What can we learn about making PET plastic bricks?
A．LEGO has found a way to make colorful PET plastic bricks.
B．It's not necessary to put things into PET plastic to make it tough.
C．A lot of tests have been carried out and there will be more tests.
D．Children keep asking the company to replace ABS plastic bricks.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．LEGO becomes a leading toy company
B．LEGO works to make bricks from recycled plastic
C．LEGO recycles plastic toy bricks to protect the environment
D．LEGO makes the best of ABS plastic to reduce cost

23、“Why do you have 9,632 emails in your inbox (收件箱)?”
I looked at my husband,“Um...is that a lot? How many are in your inbox?”
“About twenty,” he replied. I looked at my inbox. There were emails I had meant to deal with; emails from customers and the kids’ schools with information I needed; there were time-sensitive offers I’d never got around to investigating; endless updates from the social media platforms I subscribed to, and the rest I had kept just in case.
I realized that I had become an email hoarder (囤积者). I clearly had a problem and I needed to act. I paused my work and began to delete unwanted emails. An hour later I made little progress.
“Just delete the whole lot,” my husband strongly suggested.
Could I do that? It was appealing. But I paused. I couldn’t. I did have a problem! Then I decided to compromise. I kept the last month’s emails and deleted everything else. I looked at my almost empty inbox. Wow, it felt so good.
To be honest, I feel genuine anxiety about deleting emails, FOMO (错失恐惧症) is a real problem for many people like me with email issues. So many emails are “offers”. What if that amazing offer never comes up again? But the fact is that they do...frequently. What’s more,these great offers are often time-sensitive and so we hang on to them “just in case”, then miss the deadline anyway and still don’t delete them.
I found it useful to limit my emails to 50 and I use an email system which ensures all school emails go into a separate inbox, so I can see at a glance when “Dress like a Roman” day or “Bring an onion to school” day (yes really) is coming up! I feel more in control and organized now. I’m on top of my inbox. Now I’m off to handle the cupboard under the stairs!
【1】What was the author’s immediate reaction to her husband’s suggestion??
A．She approved of it.
B．She felt annoyed at it.
C．She hesitated about it.
D．She was astonished at it.
【2】What led to the author’s anxiety about deleting emails?
A．The deadline that she forgot to meet.
B．The fact that she liked keeping emails.
C．The offer that she might never give.
D．The fear that she would miss out something.
【3】What does the author do with her inbox at last?
A．Adopt an email system to classify all emails.
B．Separate unwanted emails into a new inbox.
C．Reply to school emails as soon as possible.
D．Set a restriction to the number of emails.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．How the author became an email hoarder.
B．How the author takes her inbox in hand.
C．Why FOMO is a real problem.
D．Why emails turned out to be a headache.
24、Urban sprawl (无序扩张) means a pattern of poorly-planned development stretching away from an urban center. This trend of outward growth became common in the United States after World War II when people started leaving heavily-populated cities for new suburbs.
The rise of the suburbs led to small communities connected by roads and dependent on cars. This trend generally comes with unfavorable environmental and social impacts, including traffic jams, air pollution, loss of forest and agricultural land and communities that are more segregated (隔离的) by race and class.
As suburban neighborhoods multiplied, public transportation failed to keep up. Instead, transportation in the suburbs centered around road construction for the use of cars rather than connecting neighborhoods with bus and rail systems or providing alternative options like cycling lanes and pedestrian paths.
Not everyone had an equal shot at the American suburban dream. Suburban communities were generally whiter and wealthier, while people of color were often stuck in urban centers.
As more land is taken up by housing, roads, and shopping centers, critical wildlife habitat is destroyed. This change can lead to a decrease in biodiversity. In addition, loss of open space contributes to declining air and water quality.
In the 1950s people became aware of negative impacts of urban sprawl. Over time, citizens and local governments sought to address those concerns. In the 1970s. Portland, Oregon became one of the first cities to apply smart growth strategies. The city concentrated on population growth in the urban center rather than expanding suburbs. Today, it reflects many smart growth principles; diverse housing options, plentiful greenspace, mixed-use developments, preservation of ecologically important areas, and multiple transportation options.
Today, cities around the world are adopting these principles to deal with pollution and climate change, conserve open space, energy and other natural resources, and generally improve the well-being of citizens.

D．Better connected neighborhoods.
【2】What transportation do the suburban neighborhoods communities mainly depend on?
A．Buses.
B．Cars.
C．Rail systems.
D．Bicycles.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards urban sprawl?
A．Supportive.
B．Skeptical.
C．Indifferent.
D．Disapproving.
【4】Why is Portland mentioned in Paragraph 6?
A．To explain one of the smart growth principles.
B．To show the importance of preserving natural resources.
C．To give an example of how people’s concerns are addressed.
D．To provide evidence of negative impacts of losing biodiversity.

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。
Laurie sat quietly in the empty dressing room at the ice-skating rink(溜冰场). She had not been skating in any competition since her left knee was badly injured in an accident six months ago. As she waited for her turn to skate. Laurie was very nervous. “If I can win today.” she thought, “I can skate in the World Cup next year and then maybe I can make it to the Olympics.”
Laurie was told that she had a tough competitor this year, a girl named Jinny Jordan who was really strong in everything. “She is the one you have to beat this year,” said the coach.
Minutes later, the door swung open and Laurie saw a young woman who was about her own age. The young woman dropped her skating bag onto a chair. The bag fell to the floor with a thud(砰地一声), “Hi. I’m Jinny Jordan,” she said.
Laurie felt uncomfortable as she looked at Jinny. “So this is my competitor,” thought Laurie, “Because of her. I may lose tonight.”
“This costume was my mom’s idea,” Jinny said, looking down at her red, white, and blue skating dress. “It looks like a flag.”
Laurie couldn’t keep from smiling. She pointed to Jinny’s bag, “Some stuff fell out of your bag.” Jinny looked down. As she began to gather her belongings, the door opened.
“Jinny.” called someone, “You’d better give the music tape to the sound engineer right away.”
“Oh, my God! I thought I had handed it hours ago. It’s a green box with my initials(姓名首字母)written on it,” screamed Jinny, hurrying out.
Laurie knew that music was nearly as important to the program as the skating itself. If she lost her music tape, she might as well forget about skating. Laurie stood up and walked to the chair to do a few more knee bends.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1
Suddenly Laurie saw a dark green box with letters “J.J” behind the leg of the dressing table.
Paragraph 2
Feeling relieved, Laurie skated quickly to the center of the rink after the announcer finally called her name.
