Despite the convenience of this approach, it's worth considering a move away from bottled water.Plastic water bottles significantly contribute to the environmental crises that we're currently facing. Of course plastic can be recycled, but only a small portion of waste is processed properly and reused again. Most of the plastic packaging ends up either in the landfills or in the oceans. While our world's oceans are faced with 8.8 million tons of new plastic material every single year, we must acknowledge that plasticwater bottles share part of the blame for this problem.By using disposable water bottles on a regular basis, consumers create continued financial motivation for the water companies to keep producing huge amounts of waste, while it’s nearly impossible to monitor how the bottles are manufactured and which percentage is made of recycled plastic. Many brands advertise a variety of beneficial effects, but in reality bottled water passes through an industrial facility and may be polluted in quite a few ways.On the other hand, the impact of water impurities (杂质) can directly lead to serious health problems if such water is consumed over a long period. Some of the water impurities may be of chemical nature, like chlorine or calcium, and they can damage the skin. In rare cases it’s possible to trace amounts of highly toxic (有毒的) materials in the bottled water products, which apparently results in dangerous consequences. That’s why it’s highly recommended to use both your own portable water bottle on the road as well as a water purification device at home to ensure that the water you are drinking daily is completely free of anything that could harm your health.Now that you’re aware of how bottled water is pretty harmful not only to humans but also to wildlife and environment, are you ready to say good-bye to it?24.How does the author feel when it comes to plastic water bottles?A.They have caused terrible impact on the earth.B.They should have been recycled to great extent.C.They have created great convenience to our life.D.These bottles have caught most people's attention.25. What can we infer from the third paragraph?A.The bottles are made from non- recycled plastic.B.The water companies are seeking for high profits.C.You should choose the famous brands of bottled water.D.You should be cautious when deciding on bottled water.26. What is likely to make the consumers worried?A.The bottles made of different materials.B.Water in the bottles kept for a long time.C.The bottled water with a lot of impurities.D.The complex procedure of producing bottles.27. Which of the following can sum up the passage?A.Why You Need to Break Your Bottled Water HabitB.How the Plastic Bottled Water Is Actually ProducedC.How Plastic Bottles Create Influence to EnvironmentD.Why Most People Have a Preference for Bottled WaterC（芷兰）An author who surveyed 600 millionaires has claimed that she found the secrets of getting rich. Sarah Stanley Fallaw, the author of The Next Millionaire Next Door & Enduring Strategies for Building Wealth, got her findings after she surveyed many American millionaires. The book is a follow-up to her father’s research in the 1998 bestseller The Millionaire Next Door, which Thomas J. Stanley wrote with William D. Danko.Stanley Fallaw argues that resilience（弹性）in the face of rejection and strict goal setting are important to building wealth. “To build wealth, to build one’s own business, to ignore critics and media and neighbors, you must have the ambition to keep pursuing your goals past rejection and pain,” wrote Stanley Fallaw in the new book, ac cording to Business Insider. She added, “Millionaires and other economically successful Americans who decide to climb the corporate ladder, or struggle to create a financial independence lifestyle early do so by pushing on without stop.”Stanley Fallaw stresses the importance of setting goals and sticking to them, especially for budgeting. She says that living modestly even as your income grows will allow you to devote a greater percentage of your income towards savings and building wealth. “Most millionai res we interviewed highlighted the great freedom that comes from spending below their means,” Stanley Fallaw writes.The author says that the temptation to keep up with the spending habits of the people around can be highly harmful to building wealth. Particularly in the age of social media, when lavish vacations and new purchases are broadcast for the world to see, the perseverance to live thriftily is important, Stanley Fallaw argues.28 . What was Sarah Stanley Fallaw’s book mainly based on?A.Her own life experiences.B.Her father’s research.C.Her father’s friend WilliamD. Danko’s book.D. Her surveys of the American millionaires.29 . Which is vital for building wealth according to Stanley Fallaw?A.Ignoring others’ critics.B. Learning from failure.C. Sticking to your goals.D. Sharing with others.30. What is the topic of the third paragraph?A. Consumption habit.B. Determination.C. Ways of making money.D. How to save money.31 . What is the best title of the passage?A.The Importance of Building WealthB. The Significance of Setting GoalsC. The Secrets of Getting RichD. The Book of Stanley FallawD（芷兰）Dogs need to go on walks, and walking is good exercise for older adults. Seniors who combine the two---by walking a dog---are healthier than people who don’t, according to some research.But a new study by University of Pennsylvania researchers offers a warning note. “Strolling with a leashed (用皮带绑住的) dog”, it says,“gives a significant and rising injury risk in older adults.”Between 2004 and 2017, it found,bone fractures (断裂) associated with strolling leashed dogs more than doubled among U.S. residents 65 and older. Nearly 8 in 10 who suffered fractures were women, and the most commonly broken bones were hips,wrists and upper arms.The dog-walking fractures were reported in a public database published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, which records injuries reported at a nationally representative sample of about 100 emergency rooms nationwide.The number,which increased from 1,671 in 2004 to 4,396 in 2017, rose at arate significantly higher than the overall number of fractures did, said co-author Jaimo Ahn, an associate professor.Just why is unclear, although the senior population has grown as a percentage of the U.S. population. But Ahn said he thinks other factors may be driving the increase. Baby boomers are more active than previous generations of seniors, he said. And although he said he knows of no data that quantifies this, he believes health-care providers are increasingly suggesting dog ownership as one way to improve health.“We make all these recommendations about pets, and yet we don't really understand if there are potential negative implications, “ Ahn said. “There are things we should be aware of before saying, ‘Hey, you should get a dog and take your dog for a walk.’”The University of Pennsylvania researchers, whose study was published last week in JAMA Surgery, focused on only seniors, a group Ahn said would be most vulnerable (易受伤害的) to this sort of injury .Ahn emphasized that the study is not meant to discourage dog ownership --- or dog-walking---among seniors. But, he said, health-care providers should discuss the risks with patients, and older people thinking about dog ownership should talk about the idea with friends, family and others who know them and their lifestyles well. Dog training is also important, he said. “We occasionally see patients who are seemingly doing a good thing---trying to be active, taking their pet out and then having an accident they never expected,” Ahn said. “People go skiing and think they might get injured. But this is kind of surprising to them, and it turns their life upside down.”32. Which is the finding of the new study by University of Pennsylvania researchers?A. Women are more likely to get injured than men.B. Dogs are the main causes for the old people who get injured.C. Old people who walk dogs are healthier than those who don’t.D. Old people who own a dog pet are more likely to break their bones.33. Which of the following is a possible reason for the increase of dog-walking?A. Somebody’s recommendation.B. Improvement of people’s life condition.C. Increase of the senior population.D. Changes in people’s life style.34. Why do the researchers only focus on seniors?A. They have more time.B. They are weaker.C. They have more pets.D. They are more devoted.35. What is kind of surprising to seniors according to Ahn’s words in the last paragraph?A. They can get injured by skiing.B. Dog training is needed.C. Walking dogs has danger in store.D. Trying to be active is wrong.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）（汉寿一中）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
