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.

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.

Each year, the women of Olney and Liberal compete in an unusual footrace. Dressed in aprons (围裙) and headscarves, they wait at both towns’starting lines. Each woman holds a frying pan with one pancake inside. At the signal, the women flip (轻抛) pancakes and they’re off!
This “pancake racing” tradition is said to have started on Shrove Tuesday, 1445, in Olney. Shrove Tuesday is the day beforethe Christian season of Lent (大斋戒) begins. During Lent, many people decide to give up sugary or fatty foods.
Legend says that in 1445, an Olney woman was making pancakes to use up some of her sugar and cooking fats before Lent. She lost track of time and suddenly heard the church bells ring, signaling the beginning of the Shrove Tuesday service. Realizing that she was going to be late for church, she raced out the door still wearing her apron and headscarf and holding her frying pan with a pancake in it. In the following years, the woman’s neighbors imitated her dash to church, and pancake racing was born.
The rules are simple. Racers must wear the traditional headscarf and apron. They must flip their pancakes twice - once before starting and once after crossing the finish line. After the race, there are Shrove Tuesday church services. Then Liberal and Olney connect through a video call to compare race times and declare a winner.
In both towns, the races have grown into larger festivals. Olney’s festival is an all-day event starting with a big pancake breakfast. Liberal’s festival lasts four days and includes a parade, a talent show, and contests that feature
eating and flipping pancakes. Although the women’s race is still the main event, both towns now hold additional races for boys and girls of all ages.
8. How did pancake racing start?
A. A woman in Olney created it.
B. Women made pancakes before Lent.
C. A woman dashed to church with a pancake.
D. People followed the suit of an interesting incident.
9. What should racers obey during the race?
A. They can wear fashionable headscarves and aprons.
B. They must flip their pancakes once in the race.
C. They must flip their pancakes at the beginning of the race.
D. They can flip their pancakes in the middle of the race.
10. What can we learn about the race from the last paragraph?
A. People can show their talent in Olney festival.
B. People can enjoy a one-day holiday in Liberal.
C. The race is not only intended for women now.
D. People can have a big pancake breakfast in both towns.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The origin of pancake racing.
B. The history of pancake racing.
C. The development of pancake racing.
D. The introduction to pancake racing.

My family and I never talked about school as the ticket to a future. I was in theclassroom, but I wasn't there to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read, I wanted to hide. I was 13 years old, but I already hated being who I was.
I had an English teacher, Mr.Creech, who knew I couldn't read. In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up. I felt so embarrassed. But at the same time, it made me realize that I needed to change the situation. I was determined it wouldn't happen again. Later that day, Mr.Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read. From then on, I never gave up
practicing reading.
Then when I was 41 years old, one day, I planned to fly back toTexasto visit my friends and family. On my way from the airport, I saw Mr.Creech buying himself a drink. I rushed over and reached into my pocket to pay for him. “Do I know you？” he asked. “Yes, sir, you do know me，” I answered excitedly. “My name is Anthony Hamilton. You taught me English.” The look on his face told me that he remembered the boy he'd once encouraged.
“I'm so glad I had a chance to see you，” I said. “And Mr.Creech, I have great news to share.” I told him I had learned to read. But that wasn't all. I had become a published author and an active speaker. “The next time you get another Anthony Hamilton in your classroom, please encourage him to read as well，” I added.
The experts say what once worried me has a name：dyslexia(诵读困难). But I can tell you it was a lack of desire for education.
12. Why did the author want to hide?
A. Because he felt sorry for himself.
B. Because he hated being laughed at.
C. Because he couldn't read at all.
D. Because he didn't have a ticket.
13. Which of the following could best describe Mr.Creech?
A. Considerate and dutiful.
B. thoughtful and enthusiastic.
C. Emotional and devoted.
D. Friendly and wise.
14. Why couldn't the author read before meeting Mr.Creech?
A. Because his reading age was not long enough.
B. Because his parents didn't teach him how to read.
C. Because he was afraid of reading before the class.
D. Because he didn't have inner driving force to learn to read.
15. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Mr.Creech taught two students called Anthony Hamilton.
B. The author had become a published author and an active speaker.
C. Dyslexia was just the reason that made the author unable to read.
D. The author was grateful to Mr.Creech.
