阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项
A
One day when I was 5, my mother blamed me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. When angrily opening the screen door (纱门) with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no regret, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.
Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have blamed my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. However, my parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, in the defense against unwanted insects.
For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would constantly make me think about my mistake. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing (嗡嗡) in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. Iwould wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhapscould not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.

There will be more plastic than fish in the world’s oceans by 2050. That is what a new report from the World Economic Forum and Ellen MacArthur Foundation warns. If the current trend continues, the report said, oceans will contain one ton of plastic for every three tons of fish in 2025. By 2050, plastics will weigh more than fish. The problem is that each year at least 8 million tons of plastics end up in oceans around the world. This is the same as dumping the contents of one garbage truck into the ocean every minute.
Not all plastic ends up in the ocean because someone throws a plastic bottle into the water. Plastic containers and other trash thrown onto streets and sidewalks often are swept into oceans. Unlike other types of trash in the ocean, the plastic never bio-degrades. There is a way to slow the amount of plastics going into the oceans — people can recycle more. Currently only about 14 percent of plastics are recycled. Research in Europe shows as much as 53 percent of plastic could be recycled using available technology. The report says that another solution is using less plastic for packaging products. But that is not likely to happen.
“Given plastic packaging’s many benefits, both the possibility and desirability of an across-the-board dramatic reduction in the volume of plastic packaging used is clearly low, ”the report said. But the authors note reducing the use of plastics should be tried“where possible. ”For decades, scientists warned that plastics are killing fish. Research shows that fish are dying from choking after eating plastics. Another cause of death is that plastics cause“intestinal blockage and starvation, ”the environmental group said.
4. Why is the garbage truck mentioned in Paragraph 1 ?
A. To explain how plastics end up in the ocean.
B. To warn people against the ocean pollution.
C. To clarify the seriousness of the problem.
D. To point out some details of the report.
5. Why is plastic more dangerous than other types of trash?
A. There is too much of it.
B. It poisons the ocean water.
C. It is from different sources.
D. It is hard to break down.
6. What is the author’s attitude to the suggested solutions?
A. Pessimistic.
B. Curious.
C. Unconcerned.
D. Terrified.
7. What can we infer from the text?
A. People are not aware of the problem.
B. Recycling is limited by lack of technology.
C. Plastic packaging has become part of our life.
D. Fish in the ocean will be replaced by plastics.
C
Susan Scott, 71, is glad that she didn't think about her age when she took up bodybuilding at the age of 59.
“I reinvent myself every ten years. I started my 60s as a bodybuilderand now I'm beginning my 70s as a writer,” she said. “People usually limit themselves by age, and it's discouraging. With age, I remain young at heart.”
Dr Susan started bodybuilding at an age when most are considering retirement though she was an athlete from an early age. As a child in Venezuela, she took to gymnastics and later graduated with a physical education degree.
Then she obtained a master's degree in education and later a Ph. D. in Adult Personal Development. She taught at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for 16 years, while raising two daughters.
“I started bodybuilding when I met Steve Pfiester, a gym guy who practiced yoga. He invited me to his gym and offered to train me. I started in January and in June he took me to my first competition in Bradenton, Florida,” she recalled.
Dr Susan's photos show that she has devoted long hours to taking care of her body. But she also develops her mind and spirit. On any given day, she gets up at 3 am to read books. At 4:30 am she's out to walk three miles and run another three. This is followed by yoga and a swim at the beach while the sun rises. After writing her journal and working on her book between 8 and 10 am, she hits the gym for at least two hours. “I don't lose track of time,” she said.
Dr Susan's war on ageism has rubbed off on her two daughters, both in their early thirties. “They both take care of their bodies and minds. If you give them a good foundation as a parent, you know that they will always come back to their roots. I tried to remind myself of that during their difficult teen years.”
8. What's Dr Susan's opinion on age?
A. Age cannot be hidden.
B. Age is a state of mind.
C. Every age has its pains and sorrows.
D. Old age is not suitable for further study.
9. What made Dr Susan start bodybuilding?
A. The need of her job.
B. Her youthful dream.
C. Steve Pfiester's influence.
D. Her daughters' encouragement.
10. Which of the following best describes Dr Susan's morning schedule?
A. Dull.
B. Tight.
C. Flexible.
D. Controversial.
11. What can be inferred about Dr Susan from the last paragraph?
A. She will set up a fitness foundation.
B. She will soon return to retirement.
C. She often thinks of her teenage years.
D. She sets an example to her daughters.
D
A team of researchers from several institutions in the UK and one in Estonia has created a type of buoy（浮标）that has proven to be effective at frightening seabirds, thus preventing them from getting caught in gillnets—a type of vertical fishing net that is made of a material that makes it nearly invisible underwater.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of seabirds die when they get caught in gillnets. Some estimates suggest that up to a half-million birds are caught in them each year. Over the years, researchers have created devices（装置）to prevent the birds from trying to catch fish near or in gillnets, but those didn't work well.
To find a way that would work for all seabirds, the researchers first studied seabirds in a general sense, looking to find things that they would avoid. They noted that seabirds avoided eye contact with other creatures. Then the researchers came up with a simple idea—they put a small pole to a regular buoy and then attached a pair of googly eyes（金鱼眼）to the top of it. They made the eyes big enough so that even birds with poor eyesight, such as geese, would see them. Adding to the effectiveness of the device, waves made the eyes move back and forth. And the wind made the buoy spin very slowly, making sure that birds from every direction would get a good look at the eyes.
To test their idea, the researchers selected several sites near gillnets and counted how many birds approached and how many attempted to catch fish near the nets. They then set up their googly-eyed buoys and once again counted birds. Over the course of 62 days, they found the number of birds that tried to catch fish near the gillnets dropped by approximately 25% for a distance of up to 50 meters. They also found that the birds were less likely to fish near where the buoys had been for up to three weeks after they had been removed.
12. What is the function of paragraph 2?
A. Introducing a new topic to discuss.
B. Providing background information.
C. Summarizing the previous paragraph.
D. Pointing out the main idea of the text.
13. Why did the researchers make the googly eyes big?
A. To ensure all the seabirds can see them.
B. To clearly observe seabirds' eye contact.
C. To allow them to survive the strong wind.
D. To effectively identify the right direction.
14. What does the researchers' test result mainly suggest?
A. The new device still needs improving
B. Gillnets are a death valley for seabirds.
C. Seabirds hardly catch fish near the nets.
D. The googly-eyed buoy proves effective.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. A group of researchers interested in seabirds.
B. A way to help seabirds catch fish effectively.
C. A device keeping seabirds safe from gillnets.
D. A googly-eyed buoy guiding seabirds to hunt.

选项中有两项为多余选项Being a leader can be exhausting. Serving as a role model can leave leaders feeling tired and in need of refreshment.____16____. Fortunately, research provides the answer.
In their leisure time, leaders need to stop drawing on the resources they used up at work.____17____. For example, Bill Gates takes regular “Think Weeks”, during which he stays alone in a remote cabin.

Leaders need to relax.____19____. If leaders are away from the office but still answering emails and responding to texts, they can’t get psychologically relaxed and won’t be fully refreshed. Mark Cuban accomplishes this by putting away his phone when he’s at home. This allows him to distance himself from work.
