Understanding the link between a clean environment and human life is not a new concept. In fact, it was noticed as early as ancient Rome. Today we see how green living has infiluenced our everyday lives. There is a growing community of people who embrace a zero waste lifestyle and make changes to the way they live to reduce their carbon footprint.
Living a zero waste lifestyle means doing one’s best to achieve the aim of not sending anything to a landfill. People who adopt this lifestyle ultimately cut down on their waste by reducing what they need and want. They reuse what they own, sending few things to be recycled.
Many people who adopt the zero waste lifestyle claim to be frustrated by the many harmful chemical substances found in beauty and cleaning products. They also find the uses of disposable items and excessive packaging. For example, how many times have we had to peel away layers of plastic wrap and cardboard before finally taking out the item which we had bought? Instead of buying pre-packed food and goods, those who identify with the zero waste philosophy tend to shop in stores that allow them to make purchases and bring their own cloth bags and glass jars to store their purchases.
Many people may have the misconception that it is easier to live a zero waste lifestyle in the West. Nevertheless, Malaysian environmental journalist, Ms. Aurora Tin, has proven that a zero waste lifestyle is possible even in the Asian context. Instead of going to the supermarket to buy pre-packaged foods, Ms. Tin now visits the wet market and brings her own bags for vegetables. She has even stopped using store-bought toothpaste and makes her own toothpaste from coconut oil and baking soda. This lifestyle may be too big a change for the average person, but we could follow her suit to make gradual changes to our own lives.
4. Which of the following is a zero waste lifestyle?
A. Bringing a resuable container to take away food.
B. Choosing appliances that cost less money.
C. Turning off a device to stop using power.
D. Classifying the garbage before throwing it away.
5. What may disappoint a person who adopts a zero waste lifestyle?
A. Recycable carboard.
B. Excessive packaging.
C. Glass jars to store purchases.
D. Natural substances in cleaning products.
6. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. How do people live a zero waste lifestyle.
B. Why Ms. Tin chooses to live a zero waste lifestyle..
C. We can also practice a zero waste lifestyle in Asia.
D. It is easy to live a zero waste lifestyle in the West.
7. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Living a zero waste lifestyle.
B. Going green ismore than a fashion.
C. A zero waste lifetyle is easy to achieve.
D. Making environmentally-conscious decisions.
C
She is one of mankind’s oldest ancestors and is more than three million years old. New analysis of the arm bones of Lucy, an early hominid, suggests she was a tree climber. Lucy’s remains were uncovered in Ethiopia in the 1970s, with the 3.18 million-year-old skeleton(骨骼)being the most complete of any upright, walking human ancestor. Since she was discovered, researchers have debated whether she spent her life in the trees or spent time walking on the plains as well.
The new evidence from scans of her arm bones proves she spent time climbing and used her arms to pull herself up. The scans were compared with cross sections of humans and chimpanzees, which spend a mixture of time in trees and walking on all fours on the ground. They found that the arm bones were more heavily built, similar to those of chimps, while her lower limbs(下肢)would have meant she walked less efficiently than modern humans. Professor John Kappelman, atUniversityofTexas, believes the advantage of his study was that it focused on characteristics that reflect actual behavior during life, suggesting that evenwhen Lucy walked upright, she may have done so less efficiently than modern humans, limiting her ability to walk long distances on the ground.
Previous studies suggested that Lucy was just 4 feet tall and weighed just 65 pounds. Combining the new data paints a picture of an ancestor who may have spent a great amount of her time in trees. It also expands on evidence from earlier this year which claimed that Lucy may have died from a fall, most likely from a tree. The
evidence suggests Lucy may have spent time on the ground, returning to the safety of the trees for food and to sleep, to avoid her enemies.
8. What did the researchers argue about after Lucy was discovered?
A. Where she lived.
B. How long she lived.
C. What she ate.
D. How she worked.
9. How could people tell Lucy spent time climbing?
A. By her walking style.
B. By her heavily built arm bones.
C. By her strong lower limbs.
D. By her large cross sections.
10. When Lucy walked, she may________.
A. have walked with bigger steps
B. have walked at a faster speed
C. have walked more efficiently than us
D. have walked a shorter distance than us
11. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Guesses about Lucy’s characteristics.
B. Some evidence of Lucy’s health.
C. The safety of Lucy.
D. The ancestor of Lucy.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项When you’re giving a speech, there isn’t a one-stop-shop approach that will address every individual._____16_____These requirements need to be considered when planning your speech.
___17___Larger audiences often have little or no audience participation, so your tone and body language are
more important than ever. Maintaining eye contact with as many individuals is necessary to keep them engaged. For smaller audiences, they often have more opportunities to be conversational and relaxed. This means you’ll need to prepare enough material to fill the time slot and allow for questions or comments throughout. Meanwhile, you still need to deliver your message in the time you have.
Keep it in mind that you naturally have different types of people in the audience._______18_______Generally, there are 4 different ways people learn: visual, auditory, reading and writing and kinaesthetic (动觉的). Including these elements of each learning style in your speech will help engage more of your audience.
Consider whether you are addressing other experts in the same field or beginners with limited knowledge around the topic_____19_____The most effective way to do this is to create two versions of your speech that have different contents entirely.
No matter how much you prepare and adapt your content for who you’ll be talking to, you may find you are losing audience engagement. It’s important that you read and act on these signals which can be anything from lack of eye contact, yawning or your listener being on their phone.___20___
A.Adapt your speech based on your audience size.
B.Adjust your approach to get back their attention.
C.It can assist in connecting with different audiences.
D.They learn and take in information in different ways.

I lived abroad last year. Thank to technology, I could create a home away from home. I chatted with my family online and have them with me on my adventures. Their year abroad was an amazing journey. It taught me so much, not only about other cultures and about myself. There is no doubt if language learning is hard but it is worthwhile. At the first, I found listening and speaking German all the time exhausting. Therefore, the more I did,
the less tiredly I became. It is the most satisfied feeling to understand and take part in a conversation.
