Do you often use plastic straws? You probably use them to 1 lots of things, such as milk, cola or tea. Plastic straws are small 2 they are a big problem. They are made in 10 minutes, used in 20 3 and normally remain on the earth for over 100 years since they cannot be 4 easily.
But how do plastic straws get into the 5 ? Through human mistakes, they are often thrown away, left on beaches, or blown out of bins. The waste management in some areas are so poor, all gutters( 排水沟)lead to our ocean. 6 , plastic straws kill ocean life. Once a 7 was found bleeding because a 12-centimeter-long plastic straw was pushed into 8 nose. How terrible！
In fact, around 500 million plastic straws are used every day in the US alone. That is enough to circle 9 two- and-a-half times around our planet! If we didn't act now, there would be 10 plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050.
Luckily, more and more people around the world have realized this problem. They begin to think about 11 plastic straws are necessary or not when drinking drinks. So what can we do right now to reduce plastic pollution? The simplest way is to say“ 12 ” to single-use plastic, like straws. For example, next time if you go to a restaurant, make sure you order your drink without a straw. What if people need to use a straw? There are reusable straws instead. These straws can be used, 13 , and reused over and over again.
Coffee house chain Starbucks has started to 14 strawless lids and paper straws instead of plastic straws in almost 1, 000 stores in Shanghai and Shenzhen. Starbucks is not alone. McDonald's has 15 taken action to reduce the use of plastic straws. It is hoped that more businesses and customers will work together to protect our environment.

Sometimes I doubt if there is love between my parents. They don't act in the romantic ways that I see on TV. "I love you" is too luxurious(奢侈的)for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine's Day is even more out of the question. And my father has a bad temper.
One day,my mother was seeing a quilt(缝被子), I silently sat down beside her .
“Is there love between you and Dad? "I asked her in a low voice.
My mother stopped and raised her head in surprise. She didn't answer immediately.
I was worried because I thought I had hurt her. But finally I heard my mother say the following words.
“Susan, ”she said, “look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong.If life is a quilt, then love should be thread.It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there. Love is inside. ”
I listened carefully but I couldn't understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother stayed with him in the hospital for a month.
After they returned, every day my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so gentle. It seemed that they were the most harmonious(和谐的) couple. The sun gently shone through the leaves. All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world.
The doctor had said my father would get well in two months. But after two months, he
still couldn't walk alone. All of us were worried about him.
“Dad, how are you feeling?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t worry about me, ”he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
4. Which of the following is similar to the underlined phrase "out of the question "
in Paragraph 1?
A. possible.
B. impossible.
C. necessary.
D.unnecessary
5. What can we learn from her mother’s answer about love?
A. Love should be seen anywhere.
B. Love should be seen anytime.
C. Love should be a thread.
D. Love really exists everywhere and anytime.
6. What made her father change so greatly?
A. The real love from her mother.
B. The thread of the quilt.
C. The beautiful scenery of the country road.
D. All the other members of the family.
7. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. We should understand our parents.
B. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
C. Love is really very important to anyone.
D. Love should be outside, and can be seen everywhere.

What color are icebergs (冰山)? White or blue? Surprisingly, there are green icebergs in Antarctica (南极). Their unusual color has confused scientists for years. But scientists have finally solved the mystery of the green icebergs.
Icebergs are large pieces of ice in the sea. Icebergs form after breaking away from glaciers (冰川).
Most icebergs are white. There are also many icebergs in Antarctica that are blue. Glacial ice has a lot of small air bubbles (气泡). The icebergs appear to be blue because the air bubbles reflect blue light.
However, there are no air bubbles in green icebergs, which means these icebergs are made out of sea ice instead of glacial ice.
But why does sea ice look green? Scientists at the University of Washington, US, recently found the reason--- iron oxide (氧化铁). It comes from rock dust found on the Antarctic mainland. After studying the green icebergs, scientists found that they have 500 times more iron than glacial ice. The iron comes from bedrock in the ocean. When glaciers grind (碾磨) against bedrock, a powder (粉末) that is rich in iron is created. The powder later mixes with ocean water, which then freezes as green sea ice, Stephen Warren from the university suggested.
This is an important finding because these green icebergs can deliver iron to far parts of the ocean. There, tiny sea plants use the iron as a nutrient (营养物). We thought green icebergs were interesting. But now they may actually be important. 8．According to the story, icebergs can be ________.
A．white, blue and yellow B．white, green and blue
C．green, blue and yellow D．blue, red and green
9．Some icebergs look green because ________.
A．they are made out of bedrock B．air bubbles inside reflect green light C．some sea plants are frozen inside D. there is iron oxide inside of them
10．The iron in green icebergs comes from ________.
A．glacial ice B．bedrock in the ocean
C．dead bodies of sea animals D．industrial waste
11．What can we infer (推断) from the story?
A．Green icebergs can only be found in Antarctica.
B．Glaciers don’t have any color.
C．Sea ice does not have air bubbles.
D．Antarctica animals feed on colorful icebergs.
12．What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Iron Oxide
B．Mystery of the Green Icebergs
C．The Change of Colors
D．Differences between Glacial and Sea Ice

五、任务型阅读
You may have been in the situation that you knew someone had trouble but didn’t know what to say or do. There is one solution that is always correct. Listen, listen, and listen.
Listening is the greatest gift you can give someone—especially who is having a difficult time. Listening is more important than any words of comfort. Avoid providing with advice, stories of your own. You can choose to listen. It could be 5 or
10 minutes, an hour, or even all the night.
I have done this for many people in trouble. What I notice is that when they talk with
no interruption (打断), they often think more and more clearly.
My mother had been ill in hospital for eight years when a volunteer encouraged her
to talk. At first, she didn’t like it, and the volunteer continued encouraging and supporting her. She talked and talked, not at once, but in many different ways. Later, the doctor noticed she was not sad any longer, she smiled and smiled. When she left hospital at the age of 45, she enjoyed herself in our family.
Finally, she got a job as a volunteer in the community center, she even set up a support group so that others could talk and listen. She was much loved and well- respect. She lived until she was 82 years old. And she got all this life because someone took the time to listen.
True listening is not only a gift to people around you but also the medicine to help them get out of trouble. It seems like a simple way to change the mood of others and
Mistakes are good teachers. If you are willing to risk m 1 mistakes to realize your wishes, and able to learn from mistakes, success will come to you. In o 2 to learn from mistakes, you must be ready to pay for them.
Mistakes can be very valuable(有价值的), but when you try to make others pay for your mistakes, then you lose the c 3 to learn from them. When something goes w 4 , it’s usually very easy to find someone else’s mistakes, but is that useful? Of course not. Only you
y 5 pay the price for that mistake, you can learn the most from a mistake.
When you make a mistake, please a 6 running away from it. You need to a 7 the mistake bravely because you can learn a lot from it. The mistake has been made, so make the most of it. P 8 the price, learn the lesson and grow much stronger.
When you make a mistake, don’t look back at it long. Remember why you make the mistake and then look f 9 . You can’t c 10 the past. The present is still in your power(控制力). Make full use of your mistakes to realize your wishes.
