27、 People can reduce, reuse or recycle waste instead of throwing it away. Matt and Sam decided to do an experiment to see how much waste the three R's could save.
First, they collected the rubbish from six classrooms at their school and then divided the rubbish into three groups:
•things that were reusable, such as a pencil or a marker
•things that could be recycled, such as cans, glass, or paper
•things that were truly waste
Then, Matt and Sam weighed each of the three groups. They discovered that 84% of the total rubbish thrown away that day could be recycled or reused. They decided to do something about it.
Matt and Sam presented the idea of starting a recycling programme to the school leaders. Then they worked with the Student Council. They prepared brochures for the students and their families about recycling. After thinking over the possibility of the programme, the school bought colored containers for each classroom. Besides, each room received a blue container for paper and a green container for glass and cans as well as a red container for real rubbish.
Within a short time, each classroom in the school was sorting recyclable materials from rubbish before it was thrown. To check the school’s progress, Matt and Sam weighed the rubbish one more time. They collected the rubbish from the red containers from the same six classrooms as before, sorted the rubbish into three groups again and weighed each group. This time, they found that the red containers were filled with 90% real waste. Only 10% of recyclable materials had been thrown into the red containers. Matt and Sam were pleased with their efforts.
【1】Why did Matt and Sam do the experiment?

28、How often do you exercise? A new study found that most kids aged 12 to 15 weren't getting enough physical activity. The results were based on about 800 kids. As part of the study, the kids tracked and reported on their own activity levels, and took physical exams.
U. S. fitness guidelines suggest an hour or more of physical activity every day. According to the study, only 1in 4 U.S. kids get enough physical activity.
"It's certainly worrying to see that our kids have such a limited amount of physical activity each day,” said Dr. Stephen Pont. He is an expert on children's health.
Few kids in the study met the guidelines on physical activity that raises the heart rate and makes people breathe harder. Overall, about 25% said they got an hour of that kind of exercise every day. Kids also reported on which activities they did most often outside of school gym class--basketball for boys and running for girls.
The study found that fat teenagers were less active than normal-weight girls and boys. Fat girls were slightly less active than normal-weight girls, but levels were similar among overweight and normal-weight boys. The study also said that the percent of fat children aged 2 to 19 was 17%, or about 12.5 million kids.
"There's always room for improvement," said Tala Fakhouri, who was the leader of the study. She also said the results provide useful information to help with fitness campaigns such as Let's Move, which was initiated by Michelle Obama in 2010. To inspire kids to eat right and get in shape, Michelle visits schools and holds exercise events. She also calls on schools to offer regular gym classes.
The study also found kids who get physical education at school may get better grades.
【1】What is the result of the new study?
A.800 kids don't get enough physical activity.
B.Most U.S. kids don't get enough exercise.
C.Kids should get physical activity every day.

【4】According to the study children with enough exercise may__________.

29、 Twenty-four trains, nine countries, 13,500 miles. They are the numbers behind the train journey one man took from Southampton in the UK to eastern China.
Roger Tyers, 37, spent a month on board trains and over $2,500 — almost three times of the cost of a return flight — to travel to the Chinese port city Ningbo for academic (学术的) research in May. It was the climate crisis, not a love of trains, that drove the sociologist to choose this hard route over a return flight. Tyers told CNN that he felt it necessary to stop flying when UN climate experts warned last year that the world has less than 11 years to avoid destructive levels of global warming.
Tyers is not the only person to avoid air travel in response to climate change. Thousands of people worldwide have publicly promised to stop flying, including teenage activist Greta Thunberg, who has encouraged youth climate protests around the world.
Activist Maja Rosen launched the "Flight Free" activity in Sweden in 2018 with the aim of encouraging 100, 000 people not to fly for one year. Although only around 14, 000 people signed the online "flightfree2019" promise, Rosen told CNN that the campaign had made more people realize the urgency of the climate crisis and motivated them to travel by train more often. Rosen, who stopped flying 12 years ago, says the collective promise helps deal with the sense of hopelessness many people feel when it comes to fighting with climate change. "One of the problems is that people feel there's no point in what you do singly. The activity is about making people realize that if we do this together, we can actually make a huge difference,” she said.
Tyers calculated (计算)that his train journey to China produced almost 90% less emissions(气体排放)than a return flight.
【1】What does the underlined word "crisis" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Dangerous change. B.Difference in position.
C.Unexpected change. D.Difference in temperature.
【2】Who called on the young to protest climate change?
A.Roger Tyers. B.Greta Thunberg.
C.UN climate experts. D.Maja Rosen.
【3】We can infer from the fourth paragraph that__________.
A.the "Flight Free" activity in Sweden was not successful
B.many people don't keep their promise to travel by train
C.people used to struggle with climate change together
D.it was thought to be useless to fight with climate change
【4】Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Roger Tyers B.Journey to China
C.Long-distance Journey by train D.Travel by Air instead of by Train

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
NASA is on a journey to Mars, with a goal of sending humans to the Red Planet in the 2030s. That journey is already well under way.
For decades, the agency and its partners have sent orbiters, landers and rovers(探测器), 【1】 increasing our knowledge about the Red Planet and paving the way for future human explorers. The Curiosity rover has gathered radiation data to help us protect future astronauts, and the upcoming Mars 2020 rover will study the 【2】 of Martian resources, including oxygen.
Building on the robotic legacy(遗产), the human exploration of Mars crosses three thresholds(门槛), each with 【3】 challenges as humans move farther from Earth: Earth Reliant, the Proving Ground, and Earth Independent.
Earth Reliant explorations is 【4】 on research aboard the International Space Station. The orbiting microgravity laboratory serves as a world - class test bed for the technologies and communications systems needed for human missions to deep space. Astronauts are learning about what it takes to live and work in space for long periods of time, improving our understanding of how the body changes in space and how to protect astronauts' health.
Next, we move into the Proving Ground, 【5】 a series of missions near the moon called “cislunar space” to test the capabilities we will need to live and work at Mars. Astronauts on the space station are only hours away from Earth, but the proving ground is days away, a(n) 【6】 stepping stone to a Mars mission, which will be months away from home.
Also in the 2020s, we’ll send astronauts on a year-long mission into this deep space proving ground, confirming habitation and testing our 【7】 for Mars.
Finally, we become Earth Independent, building on the knowledge 【8】 on the space station and in deep space to send humans to low-Mars orbit in the early 2030s.
This phase will also test the entry, descent(降落)and landing techniques needed to get to the Martin surface and study what's needed for in-situ resource utilization or "living off the land". NASA is already studying the 【9】 "Exploration Zones" on Mars that would offer compelling science research and provide resources our astronauts can use.
There are challenges to 【10】 Mars, but we know they are solvable. We are well on our way to getting there, landing there, and living there.
