Three-quarters of a million tourists flock to the primitive,white beaches every year—but this booming industry has come at a price.When foreigners left the government struggling to cope with a stream of rubbish,their answer was to turn one of these islands into a dumping ground. Clouds of sharp,poisonous smoke rising from open fires,piles of rubbish made up of plastic bottles,crisp packets and consumer junk.It’s a far cry from the white sands,crystal-clear waters and gently swaying palm trees that we associate with the Maldives(马尔代夫),the beautiful paradise island holiday destination set in the Indian Ocean.
Of its200inhabited islands,which are spread across an area of35,000square miles,99are dedicated resorts.Three-quarters of a million tourists visit every year—more than double the domestic population.of these,over100,000travel from the UK.The capital,Malé,is four times more densely populated than London.Given these facts,it’s hardly surprising that the Maldives on which has a waste disposal problem.
What you are seeing here is a view of the Maldives on which no honeymooners will ever fix
eyes.Four miles west of Maléis the country’s dumping ground,Thilafushi—or Rubbish Island as it has simply become known.
The country dumps upwards of330tons of rubbish on the island every day.A figure attributed largely to the tourist industry on which the chain of islands relies.Each visitor generates 3.5kg of waste per day.
Now,the government of the Maldives has banned the dumping of waste on the island,which is too late,due largely to an increase in the number of waste boats“fly-tipping”(非法倾倒) directly into the sea,fed up with waiting seven hours or more to offload their cargo.
5.The government of the Maldives is in troubled faced with________.
A.how to develop the tourist industry
B.where to set up a dumping ground
C.how to deal with the rubbish left by tourists.
D.where to set up dedicated resorts
6.It is true that________.
A.the Maldives are still paradise islands with clear waters.
B.the Maldives rely on tourist industry
C.the Maldives are called Rubbish Islands
D.the country dumps about330tons of rubbish on the island every month
7.The author’s attitude to the government of the Maldives is________.
A.positive
B.satisfied
C.forgiving
D.critical
8.The purpose of writing the passage is to________.
rm people of the present situation of the Maldives
B.expose people’s bad behavior on the islands
C.introduce the Maldives to the whole word
D.persuade people out of going to the Maldives
【答案】5.C 6.B7.D8.A
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文，文章叙述了游客来到纯净的马尔代夫海滩，但繁荣的旅游业也让当地付出了代价。

大量外国游客持续遗留下的垃圾令当地政府疲于应对，不得不将一座岛屿变成垃圾场。

【5题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第一段中的“When foreigners left the government struggling to cope with a stream of rubbish,their answer was to turn one of these islands into a dumping ground.”可知，当外国人离开政府努力处理一堆垃圾时，他们的答案是把其中一个岛屿变成垃圾场。

由此可知，马尔代夫的政府正面临着如何处理游客留下的垃圾的问题。

故选C。

【6题详解】
细节理解题。

根据倒数第二段中的“A figure attributed largely to the tourist industry on which the chain of islands relies.”可知，这一数字在很大程度上归功于岛链所依赖的旅游业。

由此可知，马尔代夫主要依靠旅游业。

故选B。

【7题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段“Now,the government of the Maldives has banned the dumping of waste on the island,which is too late,due largely to an increase in the number of waste boats “fly-tipping”(非法倾倒)directly into the sea,fed up with waiting seven hours or more to offload their cargo.”可知，Now,the government of the Maldives has banned the dumping of waste on the island,which is too late,如今，现在，马尔代夫的政府已经禁止向岛上倾倒垃圾，但为时已晚，这主要是因为越来越多的垃圾船已经厌倦了等待7个小时或更长时间卸载货物，直接“非法倾倒”入海。

由此推知，作者对于马尔代夫政府的做法是持批评的态度。

故选D。

【8题详解】
推理判断题。

根据文章的内容主要叙述了马尔代夫由于比较兴旺的旅游业，给它带来了另外一个问题，就是游客的垃圾无法及时处理。

由此推知，作者写这篇短文的目的就是告诉人们马尔代夫目前的情况。

故选A。

【点睛】写作意图，指作者创作作品时的动机，目的，态度等要素。

意图和主题是两个不同的概念。

意图：写作过程中，作者对于写什么的打算，具体指作者对叙写的事件或议论的问题，所持的观点、态度和评价。

主题：文章形成后，读者通过文章内容分析出来的基本意见或中心思想。

写作意图题可以通过概括文章的内容和主旨，分析作者的情感和写作意图。

如：4题，通过分析短文的内容进而得出作者的写作意图。

根据文章的内容主要叙述了马尔代夫由于比较兴旺的旅游业，给它带来了另外一个问题，就是游客的垃圾无法及时处理。

作者写
这篇短文的目的就是告诉人们马尔代夫目前的情况。

故选A。

C
Since2007,the American Psychological Association(APA)has conducted a survey of different aspects of stress in America.This year's analysis focused on teens,and on a10point scale,adolescents ranked their stress at5.8,compared with a score of5.1reported by adults.
“What is even more disturbing,”says Norman Anderson,CEO and executive vice president of the APA,“is the fact that most teens knew their stress levels weren't healthy—they said3.9was probably more desirable—but did little about it.”In fact,the survey revealed that42%of teens aren't doing enough to manage their stress.
The researchers were concerned about it,since unaddressed stress can lead to both short-term mental-health issues such as depression,as well as lay the seeds for long-lasting conditions such as heart disease,diabetes,and high blood pressure in adulthood.
What’s causing teens to feel so anxious?Eighty three percent cited school as a source of stress,including concerns about their future after high school and worries about college.For some, family financial issues also caused anxiety,which wasn’t surprising since previous studies found that parental stress can pass down onto children,even at very young ages.
“This branch of population is not taken seriously sometimes,”said Katherine Nordal,of the APA,“we wanted to shine light on some of the problems we know teens are having and whether they are successful at coping with them or not.”
“Clearly,”said Anderson,“we have work to do to manage stress overall.Stress levels among Americans continue to be high,but coping mechanisms(机制)remain ineffective,”Teens reported doing everything that they probably shouldn't in order to relieve stress—they aren't getting enough sleep,which can add to anxious feelings,and they're less physically active.Exercise is among the best ways to reduce stress,but the survey found that teens were beginning to rely on sitting activities,such as surfing the internet,engaging in social media or watching videos,to relieve stress.
9.From paragraph one,we can learn that___________.
A.no survey has been carried out among teens before
B.different aspects of stress mainly existed in adults
C.10percent of the teens are involved in the survey
pared with the adults,teens are suffering more stress in different aspects
10.How did the teens cope with their stress?
A.The government took some measures to reduce teens'stress.
B.Most teens took it for granted and did nothing about it.
C.42%of teens thought it natural to some stress.
D.Most teens were worrying about their stress levels.
11.The underlined word“depression”in paragraph3is closet in meaning to“___________”.
A.sorrow
B.surprise
C.unhappiness
D.depth
12.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A.America's Teens Outscore Adults on Stress
B.America Teens'Education in High School
C.American Adolescents'Mental and Physical Health Issues
D.Modern Psychology Teaching among America's Teens
【答案】9.D10.B11.C12.A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

主要介绍了一项调查结果：美国的青少年比成人所受的压力还大。

【9题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第一段“Since2007,the American Psychological Association(APA)has conducted a survey of different aspects of stress in America.This year's analysis focused on teens, and on a10point scale,adolescents ranked their stress at5.8,compared with a score of5.1 reported by adults.(自2007年以来，美国心理协会(APA)对美国压力的不同方面进行了一项调查。

今年的分析主要针对青少年，按照10分制，青少年给自己的压力打分为5.8分，而成年人的得分为5.1分)”可推断与成年人相比，青少年在不同方面承受着更多的压力。

故选D。

【10题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段“…the fact that most teens knew their stress levels weren't healthy—they said3.9was probably more desirable—but did little about it.”In fact,the survey revealed that42%of teens aren't doing enough to manage their stress.”(大多数青少年知道他们的压力水平不健康，他们说3.9可能更理想，但几乎没有采取行动。

事实上，调查显示42%的青少年在控制压力方面做得不够。

)可知大多数青少年认为这是理所当然的，并没有采取
任何行动。

故选B。

【11题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据前半句“since unaddressed stress can lead to both short-term mental-health issues such as depression”可知，不处理的压力会导致短期的精神健康问题，例如depression，所以depression应为压力带来的后果。

A.sorrow悲伤 B.surprise惊讶；C.unhappiness 不快，痛苦；D.depth深度。

故选C。

While the start of a new school year is always exciting,this year was even more so for some elementary school students in Auckland,New Zealand.They became the world's first kids to be "taught"by a digital teacher.Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom,Will is just an avatar that appears on the student's desktop,or smart phone screen, when ordered to come.
The autonomous animation platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system,allowing it to show human-like behavior.The digital teacher is assigned to teach Vector's "Be sustainable with energy"—a free program for Auckland elementary schools.
Just like the humans it replaced,Will is able to instantly react to the students'responses to the topic.Thanks to a webcam and microphone,the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have,but also picks up non-verbal cues.For instance,if a student smiles at Will,he responds by smiling back.This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students'attention,but also allows the program's developers to monitor their engagement,and make changes if needed.
Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the next generation.He says,"I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver
cost-effective,rich,educational experience in the future."
The program,in place since August2018,has been a great success thus far.Ravishankar says, "What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will.The way they look at the world is so creative and different,and Will really captured their attention."However,regardless of how popular it becomes,Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.
13.What is the benefit of this two-way interaction?
A.It can smile back.
B.It can use microphone.
C.It can change if necessary.
D.It can talk any topic for free.
14.What's Ravishankar's attitude to Will's replacing Human educators soon?
A.Disapproving.
B.Doubtful.
C.Unclear.
D. Optimistic.
15.What might be the best title for the passage?
A.New High-tech Contributes to Education
B.New Zealand Will Replace Teachers in Classrooms
C.The World's First Digital Teacher,a Help to Students
D.The World's First Digital Teacher Appears in Classrooms
【答案】13.C14.A15.D
【解析】
这是一篇新闻报道。

一款智能机器人Will走进小学课堂，文章介绍了Will的一些特点以及人们对机器人Will从事教学的一些看法。

【13题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第三段中“This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students' attention,but also allows the program's developers to monitor their engagement,and make changes if needed.(这种双向互动不仅有助于吸引学生的注意力，还能让程序的开发人员监督他们的参与情况，并在需要时做出改变)”可知，这种双向互动的好处是需要时可以更改。

故选C。

【14题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段中“However,regardless of how popular it becomes,Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.(然而，无论它变得多么流行，Will都不太可能在短时间内取代人类教师)”可推知，Ravishankar对Will即将取代人类教师持反对态度。

故选A。

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据第一段中“While the start of a new school year is always exciting,this year was even more so for some elementary school students in Auckland,New Zealand.They became the world's first kids to be"taught"by a digital teacher.(新学年的开始总是令人兴奋的，而对于新西兰奥克兰的一些小学生来说，今年更是如此。

他们成为了世界上第一批接受数字老师“教育”的孩子)”结合文章主要主要叙述一款智能机器人Will走进小学课堂，为孩子们讲授能源可持续发展。

文章还介绍了机器人老师Will的一些特点以及人们对机器人Will从事教学的一些看法。

可知，D选项“世界上第一个数字教师出现在教室里”最符合文章标题。

故选D。

As the saying goes,“many little drop of water make an ocean.”A small action may lead to major changes in society.My friends and I participated a voluntary activity at a nursing home last week.We first did some cleaning or washing.After that we spend half an hour chat with the old people living there.Though it was a tired day,we were happy with that we did.I felt a sense of responsibility by visiting the old.If all of us lend a helping hand to the people in the need,we can live in harmony with each other.A society is just like a family.If they are willing to help others, our small action can make a bigger difference.。
