Earthquakes are a natural disaster—except when they're man-made. The oil and gas industry has forcefully used the technique known as hydraulic fracturing (水力压裂法) to destroy sub-surface rock and liberate the oil and gas hiding there. But the process results in large amounts of chemical-filled waste water. Horizontal drilling (水平钻孔) for oil can also produce large amount of natural, unwanted salt water. The industry deals with this waste water by pumping it into deep wells.
On Monday, the US Geological Survey published for the first time an earthquake disaster map covering both natural and “induced” quakes. The map and a report show that parts of the central United States now face a ground-shaking disaster equal to the famously unstable terrain (不稳定地形) of California.
Some 7 million people live in places easily attacked by these man-made quakes, the USGS said The list of places at highest risk of man-made earthquakes includes Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Ohio and Alabama. Most of these earthquakes are ly small, in the range of magnitude (震级) 3, but some have been more powerful, including a magnitude 5.6 earthquake in 2011 in Oklahoma that was connected to waste water filling.
Scientists said they do not know ifthere is an upper limit on the magnitude of man-made earthquakes; this is an area of active research Oklahoma has had prehistoric earthquakes as powerful as magnitude 7.
It's not immediately clear whether this new research will change industry practices, or even whether it will surprise anyone in the areas of newly supposed danger. In Oklahoma, for example, the natural rate of earthquakes is only one or two a year, but there have been hundreds since hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, with the waste water filling, became common in the last ten years.
4. What kind of human activities can cause earthquakes?
A. The man-made produced waste water in the factories.
B. The process of digging deep wells in those poor areas.
C. The advanced techniques used to deal with waste water.
D. The oil or gas industry's work connected with the earth.
5. What does the underlined word “induced” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Man-made.
B. Reduced.
C. Newly-built.
D. Controlled.
6. How much magnitude can man-made earthquakes reach?
A. It's been said as small as magnitude 3.
B. It has been said as high as magnitude 7.
C. It's being studied without a final conclusion.
D. It has risen by an average of magnitude 5. 6.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Natural Earthquakes in America Are Disappearing Now
B. 7 Million Americans at Risk of Man-Made Earthquakes
C. Time for Oil and Gas Industry Change Their Working Practice
D. More Often Earthquakes as Powerful as Magnitude 7 in America
C
Many of us were delighted to learn that a high school senior Kwasi Enin was accepted to all eight Ivy League universities. To our surprise, he wasn't excited as expected, but appeared extra calm. He announced that he would revisit the universities to find the best suitable in music or medicine. He also wanted to compare their financial aid packages.
Kwasi's success story is rare, but his reaction is not. After the admission letters arrive at home, students have 30 days to really think about what kind of school would help them grow as a person, which school would best prepare them for the future, and at which school they would be happiest. And they also have to think about whether they can afford the school they choose.
But how to answer the questions about which school is the best suitable university? Some young people are attracted to large universities with great school spirit and a list of offerings. But besides those advantages, many of these universities focus on graduate work and research, with undergraduates taught mostly by part-time instructors. Others are attracted to smaller boarding schools with discussion-based classes. But some of these schools will have much limitation for students who want a high-energy city life experience.
Many students today seem to think they should pick the university where they will get the diploma that will help them get the most highly paid job. This is a sad misunderstanding of what a college education should provide.
A good college education should prepare them to overcome any difficulty andthrivein society. It helps them to form the habit of creative mind and spirit that will continue to develop far beyond their university years. So when you choose college, you should consider if it is filled with useful learning to help create new spaces for different possibilities of growth.
8. What can we know about Kwasi Enin from paragraph 1?
A. He was from a very poor family.
B. He would choose the top university.
C. He was too excited to calm himself at the good news.
D. He considered his interests when choosing his university.
9. What can you infer from paragraph 2?
A. Few students can be admitted to university.
B. Many students face the choices like Kwasi.
C. Top universities are the first choice for most students.
D. American students can afford their university by themselves.
10. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “thrive” in paragraph 4?
A. Fail
B. Succeed
C. Research
D. Work
11. What should the best university be like according to the text?
A. Very large and have good instructors.
B. Small boarding schools with discussion-based classes.
C. It will offerthe diploma to get the most highly paid job.
D. It will help continue to develop far beyond university years.
D
The measurable threat to the environment has been worsened by the spread of COVID-19 that increases the need for plastic protective equipment. Most plastic is made from fossil fuels. Millions of tons of greenhouse gas are released from the development of these resources and plastic production and burning.
The end life of plastic is just worrisome. Less than 10% of the plastic produced has been recycled. Even more of it has been burned. But the vast majority of plastic has been buried inland, and it is increasingly polluting the environment. We hear mostly about ocean plastic and the harm done to sea creatures that mistake plastic bags and bits for food. But microplastic is even more worrisome. Plastic doesn't break down biologically but instead breaks down into tiny particles（a very small piece of something）, which have been found in every corner of the planet, on land and in the air, in drinking water and food sources.
Yet the public has not given this global environmental disaster the attention it requires. Instead, they have viewed single-use plastic—which makes up about 40% of plastic used each year—as a litter issue that can be solved through better recycling and waste management. That attitude must change because the recent global
breakdown of the market for recycling has made it clear that it has never been, nor ever will be, able to keep up with plastic trash use.
California has been the forerunner of plastic waste reduction—it was the first state to ban single-use plastic bags and may be the first state to transform the way goods are packaged. The state also came close to passing an act which would have required that products sold in plastic packaging in the state have a proven recycling rate of 75% by 2032. California, though influential, can't solve this crisis alone. The US has long been producing a great amount of plastic trash and it should engage in reducing the use of plastic as well.
12. Why does the author mention the release of greenhouse gas in paragraph 1?
A. To show the harm of plastic
B. To warn of the climate change.
C. To call for the development of fossil fuels.
D. To highlight the importance of plastic equipment.
13. What's the author's attitude towards the public opinion on single-use plastic?
A. Favorable.
B. Tolerant.
C. Curious.
D. Opposed.
14. What's California's role in reducing plastic waste?
A. A pioneer.
B. A failure.
C. An objector.
D. A predictor.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Microplastic Products Are Harmful
B. Waste Recycling Is an Urgent Matter
C. Plastic Waste Pollution Is a Wake-up Call
D. Global Environmental Disasters Are Increasing

The 45-ycar-old Chen Liyan was sweeping the floor at Taiyuan Railway Station early last Tuesday morning when she found a small plastic bag near a chair and discovered 100-000 yuan inside. Chen was shocked but she was determined to return the money to its owner.
While working, Chen watched carefully for anyone who might have been the owner. She waited for over two hours, but having no luck, she went to the nearest police station to turn the money in. There, it was finally returned to its owner, Wang Zheng.
Wang thanked Chen repeatedly and apologized for the inconvenience, even offering her 5.000 yuan as a reward. To his surprise, however, Chen refused, believing that it would be wrong to accept money that she had not earned.
But what is even more surprising, perhaps, is that Chen's daughter, 16-year-old Liu Xia is currently seriously ill. Chen had already spent the last of her savings on the ongoing treatments and has also taken out a large loan.
Fortunately, Ma Dongbao, who works at the police station, stepped in. Living in the same apartment building as Chen's family, Ma was well aware of Chen's difficulties.
When Wang was told about Chen's situation, he decided to do something to help.
