AI waited in line for hours in Central Park for tickets to Shakespeare, so I could share my experience with you. I hope my experience will be helpful to you!1. Plan for the weather.You’ll be sitting outside for several hours waiting for tickets. If it’s going to be a sunny day, bring sun cream and water. If you think it might rain, bring your umbrella or raincoat. If the day promises to be unseasonably cool, you’ll be happy you’ve brought a sweater or jacket along.2. Keep yourself entertained.Bring an iPad, a good book, some magazines or even some work along with you to pass the time. You’ll be in line for about 3-4 hours, and you’ll be glad to have a crossword puzzle or other games to kill the time once the people-watching starts to get boring.3. Know the basics.Free tickets are being given out for the same day’s performance and the y are not changeable. That means if it rains, you’re out of luck. That also means that you have to wait for tickets in the morning and attend the evening’s performance the same night (Doors open around 8 p.m. for the 8:30 p.m. show.).4. Feeling fortunate? Enter the online ticket lottery(抽签获票).If you don’t want to spend several hours waiting in line for tickets, you can try your luck on the Internet. Once you set up your account, you can enter the online ticket lottery between midnight and noon. You’ll get an email message around noon if you’ve gotten tickets, and you can pick up your tickets at the Delacorte Theaterbetween 5:30 pm and 7:30 pm.1. Why is a crossword puzzle suggested by the author?A. To cool you down on a sunny day.B. To give you something to read.C. To entertain you while you are waiting.D. To make iPad games amusing .2. Which of the following is NOT allowed?A. Being seated for the evening show at 8:20 p.m.B. Changing your free tickets for another day.C. Getting free tickets in the rain.D. Trying your luck to get free tickets on the Internet.3. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?A. To give us some tips on buying online tickets.B. To make sure you are entertained while you are in line.C. To call on us to read more books about Shakespeare.D. To give practical advice about getting tickets.【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D【解析】这是一篇说明文。

As a big plant-eater, itlargely shapes the forest-and- savanna (大草原) surroundings in which it lives,therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in itshabitat (栖息地).great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the It is the elephant’senvironment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, andpulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deeptropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In theseopen spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety ofother plant-eaters.Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branchesoverhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. Bypulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing newplants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable forlarge hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their foodas well.What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become anendangered species.

There is a common ,usually round object that you can see every day and it appears in many expressions—buttons! Buttons, which are made of metal or plastic, are found on all sorts of clothing. They fasten or connect one pieceof clothing to another to make sure your clothes don’t fall off.To be cute as a button is an old saying, which means to be attractive or sweet, but in a small way. Babies are often described as cute as a button. Language experts don’t know why. But they do say the expression dates fromthe late 1860s.Here is another expression associated with button: button-down. People often wear button-down shirts to the office. Button-down as an adjective means to be conservative. People described as button-down stay as close as possible to thenormal way of dressing and behaving.When buttoning a button, you slip it into a buttonhole. A buttonhole trapsthe button. So, to buttonhole someone means you have trapped him in a spoken conversation. Now, let’s say you find yourself buttonholed in a conversation at a party. Someone just keeps talking and talking and talking! Finally, you can’t st and it any longer. You tell him to button it! This is a direct, but a little rude way of saying “Stop talking!”Button your lip is another equally rude way to stop a person who talks too much.Another kind of difficult person is someone who pushes one’s bu ttons. To push one’s buttons means to know how to get that person annoyed or upset. People who like to push other people’s buttons usually do it for selfish reasons.1. What do you think of someone who wears a button-down shirt to the office?A. Crazy.B. Traditional.C. Funny.D. Fashionable.2. What will you probably say to get rid of a long and boring talk?A. Be cute as a button.B. Push your button.C. Button your lip.D. Be button-down.3. How does the fourth paragraph mainly develop?A. By giving examples.B. By making contrasts.C. By listing figures.D. By analyzing cause and effect.4. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph mean?[A. Shouts loudly.B. Learns of one’s secret.C. Gets someone to lose his temper.D. Argues with someone.4. As we all know ,trees are important to our life. They provide us with food, wood and most importantly, oxygen. Now there is one more thing we can add to this list—blocking out harmful bacteria in water.The discovery was made by some scientists and high school students who were seeking for a natural water filter( 过滤器 )—one that could help people in developing countries that don’t have access to modern water systems.The researchers, led by Rohit Karnik, a professor ,decided to turn to trees for help because they were able to allow liquid to flow through while blockingout air bubbles( 气泡) .They began by cutting 1.5-inch-wide sections of tree bark from the branch of a white pine tree. The researchers then tested th e wood’s filtering ability by pouring water containing red dye particles( 染料颗粒 )of different sizes through. To their surprise, they found it was effective in trapping all the particles. Encouraged, the team did another experiment, this time with water containing bacteria. Sure enough, the bark held back 99%of the bacteria, allowing only 1% to flow through.Mr. Karnik said the bark was able to filter water containing much smaller particles. This means that it can be used to get rid of most of the bacteria. However, what troubles them is that tree bark cannot hold back viruses, which tend to be much smaller.Though the experiment is successful, we must remember one thing—the bark only works when damp. This means that before this natural filter can be put to practical use, the researchers will have to figure out how to keep the bark damp, or find a way to keep the bark’s great filtering ability even whenit’s dry.But the study is not done. The researchers plan on testing other types of trees, including those flowering trees. They think those may be more effective in trapping smaller particles and even viruses.1. How will the discovery affect the world?A. No harmful bacteria will be found in water.B. There will be no water pollution around the world.C. More pine trees will be planted around the world.D. Clean water will be more accessible in developing countries.2. What problem troubles the researchers when using the trees bark as a water filter?A. Viruses cannot be prevented.B. Tree bark should be wet.C. It’s hard to remove air bubbles.D. Not all bacteria can be held back.3. Why does the team plan to do other experiments?A. To find other natural water filters.B. To improve the filtering ability of other trees.C. To find a way to keep the bark wet.D. To test the filtering ability of other trees.4. In which column of a newspaper can we read this text?A. Culture.B. Science.C. Lifestyle.D. Society.二、七选五5. We usually don’t mind when people call us by positive nicknames. 1. But when people call us by cruel nicknames, it can be difficult to get them to stop. So what should you do?Ask your friends to stop. Maybe you tripped( 绊倒) over your feet a few times, and your friends started calling you klutz, th inking that you don’t really mind. 2.Leave a nicknames behind. Sometimes, life gives us a chance to start fresh 3. If you’re moving from elementary school to middle school, let your friends know that don’t want to go by your old nickname.Ignore those who call you by a nickname. If the kids calling you by a bad nickname aren’t your friends, you should do your best to ignore them. 4. It may be hard to pretend that it doesn’t hurt, but if you get angry orobviously upset, it will just encourage them to use the nickname all the time.5. Remember that if you have a bad nickname now, you probably won’t be stuck with it. Just look at Elvis Presley! When he first started singing on stage,he wiggled( 摆动) his hips so much that cruel critics and the audience nicknamed him Elvis The Pelvis. He never stopped wiggling. People soon foundit impossible to ignore his talent and began to call him The King of Rock & Roll.A. If it does bother you, tell them.B. Believe that things will change.C. If the kids refuse to stop, talk to your teacher.D. It feels good when these nicknames are repeated.E. Although words can be hurtful, they can’t change who you really are.F. The chance can be a good time to get rid of a nickname that you don’t like.G. If you act li ke they aren’t hurting you, they’ll eventually get boredand stop.三、完形填空6.

But a New Jersey based company, called TerraCycle, hastaken on the challenge, and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette ends andturn them into industrial plastic products. Its aim is to recycle things that people normallyconsider impossible to reuse.Obviously it would be even better for the environment if everyone just stopped smoking, butthe statistics show that although there has been an increase in anti-smoking ads and messaging, between 2000 and 2014, global sales of cigarettes increased by 8 percent, and a whole lot of those cigarette ends are ending up as trash. Since most of our litter eventually ends up in waterways, cigarette ends can surely pollute the surrounding environment. "It only takes a single cigarette end to pollute a liter of water," TerraCycle founder, Tom Szaky, said. "Animals can also mistake littered cigarette ends for food."So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful? TerraCycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts. They mix the remaining materials, such as the tobacco and the paper, with other kinds of rubbish, and use it on non-agricultural land, such as golf courses. The filters(过滤嘴)are a little harder. To recycle these, TerraCycle first makes them clean and cuts them into small pieces, and then combines them with other recycled materials, making them into liquid for industrial plastic products.They're now also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 80 percent of household waste that currently can't be recycled, such as chocolate packaging, pens, and mobile phones. The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in landfill(垃圾填埋), and then get companies to provide money for the process. And so far, it's working."We haven't found anything that we can't recycle," communications director of TerraCycle, Albe Zakes, said. "But with the amount and variety of packaging and litter in the world, we are always looking for new waste streams to address."(1)What does TerraCycle intend to do?A Search for recyclable materials for use.B Deal with as many cigarette ends as possible.C Produce new kinds of industrial plastic products.D Recycle what used to be consi dered unrecyclable.(2)The underlined word "trash" in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A rubbishB poisonC disasterD ruin(3)What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A The effective use of cigarette ends.B The process of recycling cigarette ends.C The difficulty in recycling cigarette ends.D The reason for breaking down cigarette ends.(4)What Albe said in the last paragraph implies that ______.A there is more and more waste to be recycledB it is difficult for TerraCycle to recycle ev erythingC TerraCycle is trying to meet the challenge of new wasteD TerraCycle has s uccessfully recycled a large amount of waste3. In March 2013, on a rainy night, my partner Reece remembered that he had forgotten a box in his car and went out to get it. On his way back inside he noticed a small shadow moving on the driveway. As Reece moved towards the shadow he realised it was a young hedgehog (刺猬), all wet in the grass, eating mud. He quickly removed his Jacket and picked it up. The hedgehog was very weak and unable to move about quickly. He didn't seem to be frightened, nor did he resist (反抗) being lifted.Once inside, Reece called out to me, saying that he had something that would make myheart melt﹣he was right! We named the hedgehog Alf, and this little creature was amazingly intelligent. Not only did he learn to eat his dinner and drink water from his bowls, and use a paper﹣covered mat for his business, but he also learnt to wait for us inside his little indoor house and also jump into his pet carrier whenever we took him out with us. Alf knows us very well and recognises both our voices.Unfortunately, in April 2014 I was caught in a car accident and had to spend two monthsin Auckland City Hospital. And I really missed Alf. Reece told me that Alf had been searching around the house for me, checking in places where I'd normally be, such as my desk, my favourite seat in front of the TV and even my side of the bed.One evening, Reece set up a video call for me from my hospital bed and I was extremely happy when I saw the little guy appear on my mobile phone. When I told Alf that I wouldbe home soon, he opened up from being in a semi﹣ball position. He started moving his head and holding out his arms as if trying to reach me through the screen.The fact that Alf recognised that it was me, gave me the strength to get through my recovery. I cannot describe the feeling when I arrived home and saw his little face again.(1)How was the hedgehog when he was found?________A He was aggressive.B He was scared.C He was spirited.D He was pitiful..(2)What did Alf do when the author was in hospital?________A He fell seriously ill.B He attempted to find her.C He learnt to play games.D He made a mess of the house..(3)What do we know from the last two paragraphs?________A Alf helped lift the author's spirits.B Alf showed the author a video.C Alf was trained as an actor.D Alf kept the author company in hospital..(4)What is the best title for the text?________A Alf saves the day.B An unfortunate accident.C Clever pets, human friends.D Hedgehog hugs and kisses.4. There’s a lot of confusion around exercising and eating. What should you eat before you work out? What about after? How long should you wait to eat? How will all of this benefit your goal of losing more fat? Scientists have now answered one important question.In a new study researchers had a group of overweight males walk for one hour on an empty stomach, and then had them walk again for 2 hours on another day after eating a good breakfast. The researchers collected their blood samples after eating or fasting (禁食) aswell as after exercising. They also took fat samples directly before and directly following an hour of walking.The results showed differences in gene expression of the fat tissue in the two tests. Thetwo genes they looked at, PDK4 and HSL, increased as a result of the volunteers fasting and exercising, and decreased when they ate before exercising. The researchers believe that the rise in PDK4 likely shows that stored fat was used to fuel metabolism (新陈代谢) during exercise, and that HSL increased when the fat tissue used stored energy to benefit an increase in exercise.According to Dylan Thompson, an author of the study, the results support the viewpoint that “fat tissue often faces competing challenges”. “For example,” he says, “after eating the body is busy responding to the meal, and a short period of exercise at this time will not cause the same beneficial changes in fat t issue.”How long do you have to decline food to meet their definition of “fasting”? Thompson says, “The best advice would be to make sure that your last meal was 4 hours before exercise to get the effect that we reported.”(1)What is the focus of the study?A How we can avoid getting fat.B When we can eat after exercising.C What we should eat to lose weight.D Whether we should eat before or after exercise(2)What is the finding of the study?A Exercising before eating helps lose fat.B Eating a good breakfast helps us exercise better.C An hour of exercising is necessary for weight loss.D Fasting is better than exercising for burning off stored fat.(3)What does Thompson mainly want to say in Paragrapoh4?A It’s very difficult to burn off stored fat.B Fat can easily get stored in ourbodies. C We face many challenges when exercising. D Exercising after eating can't burn stored fat.(4)What does the underlined word “decline” in the last paragraph probably mean?A Share.B Store.C Refuse.D Prepare.二、七选五5. I’m an ironworker in New York City, one of 100 or so ironworkers who are now working on the steel frame (框架) of a new building in Times Square.(1) Many of today's ironworkers are descendants (后代) of the men who built New York’s first high buildings. My great-grandfather helped build the Empire State Building. My father and grandfather were also iron workers.To me, ironworkers are the kings of construction.

Many guys try it once, then back off and say, “This is not for me!”A You never stop in this job.B We have real pride in our work.C You also have to be OK with height.D You have to move them into place all the time.E Ironwork is trade that is still handed down from father to son.F Or like my father did, who helped build theWorld Trade Center. G Ironworkers depend on each other for their lives, and the pay is good.三、完形填空6.

AFour books that will inspire you to travel the worldThere's truly nothing like travel when it comes to gaining perspectives and exposing yourself to other cultures. To get you in the adventuring mood, we asked Amazon Senior Editor Chris Schlep to help you come up with a list of books that transport readers to another time and place. Below, see his list of four books that will inspire you to travel the world.ITALY: Beautiful Ruins by Jess W alterThis book by the popular author Jess Walter is a love story that begins on the Italian Coast in the early 60s and eventually concludes in contemporary Hollywood's screen. As the settings shift from Italy to Edinburgh and Los Angeles, you will find yourself longing to go as well. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $28.90SEATTLE: Where'd Y ou Go, Bernadette by Maria SempleMaria Semple's first novel is not exactly a love story in Seattle, but if you read it, you just might want to come here to see if people are really as self-involved as the characters in her book. What really shines through is the strange storytelling and the laughs. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $26.60ENGLAND: W olf Hall by Hilary MantelY ou can't travel to Thomas Cromwell's England without a time machine, but reading Mantel's prize-winning novel is the next best thing. It will make you long to see the ancient buildings and green grass of the English countryside, most of which are still there. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $25.10NANTUCKET: Here's to Us by Elin HilderbrandElin Hilderbrand has built a writing career out of writing about her hometown island of Nantucket. Her latest book is Here's to Us, which, perhaps not surprisingly, is a great beach book. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $30.8021. Which book has been produced into a film according to the text?A. Here's to Us.B. Wolf Hall.C. Beautiful Ruins.D. Where'd Y ou Go, Bernadette.22. What is the feature of the Where'd Y ou Go, Bernadette?A. Its low price.B. Its characters.C. Its content about love.D. Its storytelling and laughs.23. Why is Here's to Us suitable for reading on the beach?A. Because it's about the author’s hometown island.B. Because it needs a time machine.C. Because it's about ancient buildings.D. Because it exposes yourself to other cultures.BIt was many years ago. I was a young dad sitting on the couch reading a fairy tale to my little girl. She sat next to me with her head on my arm as I told the tale. When it came to the end I finished with those famous words: “And they lived happily ever after.” As I looked over to her with her wavy(鬈曲的), brown hair and big, innocent eyes I could see the smile on her face and I never wanted it to end. Then I realized that the ending of the book was what I wanted for her. I wanted her to “live happily ever after”.Still, deep in my heart I knew that this couldn't always be so. I knew that there would be times when her heart was broken. I knew there would be times when she cried in sorrow and I couldn't comfort her. I knew there would be times when all she felt was fear, sadness, sorrow, and despair. As I stroked(轻抚) her hair and smiled at her I hoped that those times would be brief and that she would have joy in her life more often than not. Living happily ever after, though, seemed out of the question.It takes me a lot of years to realize that it is possible to live happily ever after. Y ou just have to do it “one day at a time”. Happiness you see isn't some reward that you get at the end of your journey. Happiness isn't something that depends on what life you own. Happiness is something you create in your life choice by choice and day by day.The truth is happiness comes when you love. Love is a gift from God. It is love that mends broken hearts. It is love that heals grief. It is love that gives us joy. Choose to “live happily ever after, one day at a time”.24. What is the author's wish to his daughter?A. Getting a good job in the future.B. Making many friends in her school.C. Traveling around the world in her life.D. Having a happy life ever after.25. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. Life's meaning consists in devotion.B. Living happily ever after seemed out of question to the author.C. There are times that life goes against us.D. Everyone has the right to obtain happiness and freedom.26. How to get happiness in author's opinion?A. Reward yourself once a day.B. Create it by yourself in your daily life.C. Get rid of those disturbing things.D. Take charge of your life independently.27. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To show the significance of love.B. To describe a daughter's growth.C. To introduce the definition of love.D. To tell a young father's experience.CTablets(平板电脑)are useful devices, but their big screens always make them as a b urden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone withthe powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit neatly into the hand? Now something like a tablet-shaped but foldable(可折叠的)phone is about to become available. In February, Samsung and Huawei both introduced foldable phones, the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X separately, to the public for the first time. Mobile phone use has entered the “foldable future”, the Verge noted.The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want but still fit easily into the pocket. The technology could change other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers, which could help increase available space to the maximum. In a keynote address, Justin Denison, Samsung’s senior vice president, called the foldable screen “the basis for the smartphone of tomorrow”. “It’s a blank canvas (画布) for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future? According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of ten foldable screens produced were defective or unusable. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to almost 90 percent. However, at present these foldable devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17, 500 RMB. That's a price that few people will be able to afford.But if the foldable device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming. Patrick Moorhead, an industry expert told The V erge, “Few are debating if foldable mobile displays are the future of smartphones; the only question is when and by whom.”28. What do we know about foldable devices?A. They are too big to fit into the pocket.B. They could bring us much convenience.C. They have become available in January.D. They are a burden to carry around without a bag.29. What can we learn from Denison’s words?A. The foldable screen has great potential.B. The technology could change other devices too.C. There must be many problems with the technology.D. The production of foldable phones will soon decrease.30. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?A. completeB. properC. imperfectD. normal31. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Types of foldable phones.B. The coming of foldable devices.C. Popular devices on the market.D. Difficulties in producing foldable phones.DBlue Planet II's latest episode(一集) focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench,haveplastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.Though it seems now that the world couldn't possibly function without plastics,plastics used by consumers are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don't really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species,including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.And it's not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don't have to remake our planet energy system.This is not a problem where we don't know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage.Anyone can do it.We know how to dispose (处理)of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use plastic products. Things may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag. But when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.32.Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?A. The plastics pollution research is too difficult.B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.C. The world couldn't possibly function without plastics.D. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.33.How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?A. By statistics.B. By quotations from leading experts.C. By using examples from his own experience.D. By comparison and contrast.34.What can we infer about climate change ?A. Climate change is caused by human activities.B. Climate change is not as simple as ocean pollution.C. Climate change is less important than ocean pollution.D. Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change.35.What is the main idea of this passage?A. Ocean pollution is a global issue.B. The oceans become choked with plastic.C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken.D. Plastics gain in popularity all over the world第二节七选五(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)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。

AMy first term at MIT(麻省理工学院) was awesome---- I got all A’s, and I declared math as my major. My parents were expecting me to become a doctor like them so I was trying to satisfy them. But I was desperately running away from them. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. My third term, I ended up with a D in math. I didn’t do that well in my other classes, either. It seemed like all my friends were doing so well, getting opportunities over the summers.My fifth term, I realized that I was awful at higher-level math. I had lost all confidence in myself. I went to a few classes at the beginning of the term, but after by midterm, I had totally stopped. My only relief was the dance team I was on. I would sleep all day, and then go to dance practice, and then go back to sleep. As expected, I failed in all of my classes and had to withdraw(退学) from MIT.I had no choice but to tell my parents. Instead of yelling or hitting me, they just held me and cried. The next day, my dad took a day off from work and took me to a nearby, small arts college.I had lost all confidence in myself. Before my first biology tes t, I didn’t think I could pass. I did pass. Since I had so much free time, I decided to join a biology lab. I realized that was what I wanted to do!

The couple, who spent 40 years collecting waste before opening the restaurant, are now busy cooking.What makes the restaurant unusual is that poor people can pay for their food with recyclable waste instead of money. This is part of the community's solution to reducing waste in the landfill.The restaurant seats about 30 people and serves meals that cost between $0.4 and $0.8 each. Since opening the restaurant, Sarimin and Suyatmi have seen their daily income more than double to $15 a day, compared to when they only depended on picking up plastic and glass to sell.Agus Junaedi, the former manager of Jạtibarang Landfill, came up with the idea for the restaurant in 2017 when Semarang's mayor wanted him to reduce the amount of plastic waste in the landfill. 40% of the 800 tons of waste that is added to the site daily is plastic.The price of plastic was very low at that time and, as Junaedi said,“Naturally, no one wanted to collect plastic waste. So why don't we get the poor to pay for their meal with plastic waste? We hope people change their mind and see waste as a useful thing."Additionally, after a fire in 2017 destroyed nearly 10 acres of land, Junaedi realized that the methane gas(甲烷)in the landfill could be used in life. It is now available to use free of charge for people around Jatibarang, as well as in the Methane Gas Canteen.24. What makes the restaurant special?A. Its location.B. Its delicious and cheap food.C. Its bosses experience and generosityD. Its way of charging customers.25. Why did people not want to pick up plastic waste in Semarang in 2017?A Plastic waste was too cheap then.B.There was little plastic waste in the landfill.C. No place wanted to recycle plastic waste.D. People thought plastic waste was of no value.26. Which of the following words can best describe Agus Junaedi?A Talented B. Creative C. Courageous D. GenerousCAn experimental cleanup device(设备) called RemoveDEBRIS has successfully cast a net around a dummy (仿真的) satellite, imitating a technique that could one day collect space born garbage.The test, which was carried out this week, is widely believed to be the first successful demonstration(展示)of space cleanup technology, experts told CNN. And it symbolizes an early step toward solving what has already been a critical issue: junk in space.Millions of pieces of junk are turning around in orbit, the result of 50 years of space travel and few regulations to keep space clean.Guglielmo Aglitter, the director of Surrey Space Center, said that an operational version of the RemoveDEBRlS technology would cast a net that remains fastened to the main satellite so the junk can be dragged out of orbit. It could target large pieces of junk, including dead satellites up to 10 meters long.The RemoveDEBRIS satellite will conduct a few more experiments in the coming months, including testing navigation features that could help guide the satellite to a specific piece of debris.Aglietti, the Surrey professor who helped lead the RemoveDEBRIS project, said “The challenge will lie in persuading the authorities to sponsor these tasks.” Aglietti said he hopes RemoveDEBRIS will conduct a few cleanup tasks per year, targeting the largest pieces of junk in the most crowded orbits.27. What is the use of the RemoveDEBRIS satellite?A. Demonstrating space technology.B. Imitating a developing technique.C. Collecting wastes existing in space.D. Symbolizing great progress in space.28. How does the RemoveDEBRlS satellite work?A. By throwing a net to take the junk from orbit.B. By fastening it to the main satellite tightly.C. By dragging satellites up to 10 meters long.D. By targeting large pieces of junk carefully.29. What does the underlined word “sponsor” in the last paragraph probablymean?A. Accomplish.B. Support.C. Oppose.D. Provide.30. What’s the best title for the text?A. The RemoveDEBRIS Project Is PerfectB. How RemoveDEBRIS Is Invented in the LabC. Why the RemoveDEBRIS Satellite Is InventedD.

Thanks to this, Dad has come to love hot pot! But there are still some dishes that Dad dare not try even after many years of marriage to my mother. Even today he still does not take to eating things like chicken feet.But I enjoy that sort of food myself. Last week, I went to the butcher’s and asked, “Do you have pigs’ ears?” “No,” the butcher said, pulling at his own ears, “just these ordinary ones.” He must have thought I was joking.Dad can cook a super “full English breakfast” of bacon, eggs, beans, sausages and toast with butter. Mum and I just have to find a way to get him into the kitchen! He also does a typical Sunday roast. We all love roast beef and vegetables.I’ll never forget my first visit to China. Mum encouraged me to try different kinds of food. But just when I thought I could deal with all Chinese food, I came across stinky tofu, a horrible grey thing that looked and smelt like a burnt sports shoe. I gathered all my courage to take a bite and was amazed to find it wasn’t so bad. It reminded me of blue cheese, a similarly strong smelling type of food you either love or hate. Maybe I’ll fall in love with stinky tofu, someday.People say that one man’s meat is another man’s poison, but I feel at home with food from both my cultures.4.What can we learn from this passage?A.I have enjoyed the food from two cultures since a little child.B.Because of my Mum, Dad loves all kinds of Chinese food.C.We all like roast beef and vegetables except Mum.D.I have fallen in love the stinky tofu now.5.What is the character of the butcher?A.

A new exhibition called “How Cats Took Over The Internet”opened at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York. It looked at the history of how cats rose to Internet fame, and why people like them so much.Almost half of all original Youtube videos are of peoples pets,and around26billion views are just for cats, making them the single most popular category. Some cats have become famous and earned millions of pounds after their owners posted their pictures online.So how did cats become so popular?Since the Internet became widely used in the1990s, people have been sharing pictures of their cats via email. In 2005 one of Youtube’s co-founders Steve Chen posted a video of his cat called Pyjamas playing with a rope, making him the first person to upload a cat video to Youtube.In 2007 Eric Nakagawa and Kari Unebasami started a website sharing funny pictures of cats. The site quickly became popular, and users were able to upload pictures of their cats with writing over the top. It now has over 100 million views a month and has created a whole new form of communication on the Internet.Why cats?A scientific study has proved that looking at videos of cats can impr ove people’s mood. Assistant professor Jessica Gall Myrick from Indians University, America, asked 7,000 people how they felt before and after watching videos of cats. The results showed that people felt happier after watching videos of cats, and that they felt less anxious.The Internet has also been responsible for creating a number of famous cats such as Grumpy Cat, Lil BUB and Maru. They have appeared on lots of TV shows, advertisements and film festivals, and even have their own brands. Lil BUB even has her own charity, and has raised around $130, 000 for pets with special needs.8.What’s true about cats according to the text?A.Their fame is related to the widespread of the Internet and a relative website.B.Cat videos take up half of all the original Youtube videos.C.They are the first to be filmed among all the animals throughout the world.D.They earned millions with their videos in the 1990s.9.Why did Jessica make the study?A.To improve people’s mood and reduce people’s anxiety.B.To ask about people’s present feelings and living conditions.C.To find the effect of watching cat videos on people’s mood.D.To help people live their life to the fullest.10.What’s special about Lil BUB?A.She has the most videos online.B.She is popular at home and abroad.C.She has her own brands.D.She has her own charity.11.What’s the best title for the text?A.Cats become celebritiesB. Cat videos rule the InternetC. Watching cat videos countsD. Cats contributions to the worldDScientists think they have the answer to a puzzle that confused even Charles Darwin: How flowers evolved and spread to become the most important plants on earth.Flowering plants, or angiosperms (被子植物), make up about 90%of all living plant species, but how they did this has been a mystery. New research suggests it is due to genome size.Hundreds of millions of years ago, the earth was dominated by ferns and conifers. Then, about 150 million years ago, the first flowering plants appeared on earth. They quickly spread to all parts of the world.Why angiosperms were successful and diverse on earth has been debated for centuries. Charles Darwin himself called it a “mystery”, fearing this apparent sudden change might challenge his theory of evolution.Kevin Simonin from San Francisco State University in California US and other researchers analyzed data held by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, on the genome size of hundreds of plants, including flowering plants, gymnosperms (a group of plants including conifers) and ferns. They then compared genome size with structural features. This provides “strong evidence” that the success and rapid spread of flowering plants around the world is due to “genome downsizing”.By reducing the size of the genome, which is contained within the nucleus( 核) of the cell, plants can build smaller cells. The researchers say genome-downsizing happened only in the angiosperms, and this was “a necessary condition for rapid growth rates among land plants”.12.What do we know about angiosperms?A.They are superior in number among all plant species.B.They controlled the earth for hundreds of millions of years.C.They challenge Charles Darwin’s t heory.D.They are extinct plants in the world.13.It can be implied that .A.Simonin works in the Royal Botanic Gardens KewB.Simonin is probably an American biologistC.Darwin was confident of his theory of evolutionD.Darwin succeeded in figuring out the flower evolution14.What contributed to the success and diversity of angiosperms?A.The weaker ferns and conifer.B.The larger nucleus.C.The stronger cell.D.The smaller genome.15.What can be a suitable title of this passage?A.Why were gymnosperms successful on earth?B.What puzzle confused even Charles Darwin?C.How angiosperms dominated the earth?D.When angiosperms outnumbered conifers and Ferns?第二节(共5 小题;每小题2.5 分,满分12.5 分)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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actually help save your life in case of a plane emergency.The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers’ eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one that’s completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus andsee the escape slide,” Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.”The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (小斑点) as your sight adjusts to a dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about 20 to 30 seconds to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane lights could shorten your “dark adaptation” time since you haven’t been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯) all flight.Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, but it reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. “It helps keep you in the right direction.” Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. “It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, that might affect an escape.” So next time a pilot dims the lights, just know it’s for your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your takeoff into the sky.7.The lights are turned down before takeoff to help passengers_______.A.escape in time of emergencyB.take a short breakC.create a comfortable atmosphereD.enjoy themselves8.Which of the following is True according to Paragragh 2 and 3?A.Dimming lights is required when accidents happen.B.Our eyes need some time to adapt to the change of light.C.Speckles are caused by the use of dimmed lights.D.It is required for pilots to turn off lights during the flight.9.What is the function of shortening “dark adaptation” time?A.Slowing down the landing.B.Adjusting the plane lights.C.Keeping passengers calm.D.Helping the crew judge outside risks.10.What is the text mainly about?A.A tip to make air travel safer.B.An emergency event happening on a plane.C.An explanation of an airline safety measure.D.A warning message from the pilot.二、完形填空I don’t know why I came to the decision to become a loser, but I know I made the choice ata young age.

Constantly ask yourself who you really write the information for.Write for the ear, not for the eyeOnce you’ve finished a draft of your speech, practice reading it out loud. 35.Revise so you are more comfortable giving your speech.

He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.“I didn’t think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier (码头) when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. Immediately, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting hiscamera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn’t realize his story of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.“I don’t really think I’m a hero,” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same thing.”24. Why was Duret in New York?A. To spend his holiday.B. To meet his girlfriend.C. To work as an engineer.D. To visit the Andersons.25. What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came?A.

The rescue happened on the day Duret left for France.D. Duret dived int o the water before the girl’s father.27. What is probably the headline of this news report?A Careless Father B. Brave Frenchman FoundC. Warm-hearted OnlookersD. A Poor GirlCThe African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem (生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and- savanna (大草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat (栖息地).It is the elephant’s great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deeptropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.28. What is the passage mainly about?A. Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.B.The effect of African elephants’ search for food.C. Disappearance of African elephants.D. The eating habit of African elephants.29. What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?A. Fixing the time.B. Worsening the state.C. Deciding the conditions.D. Improving the quality.30. What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?A. They result from the destruction of rain forests.B. They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.C. They provide food mainly for African elephants.D. They are home to many endangered animals31. The passage is developed mainly by .A. showing the effect and then explaining the causesB. pointing out similarities and differencesC. describing the changes in space orderD. giving examplesDThe summer is so hot and sticky, why would we want to sweat even more byexercising? Or is it just I who think like that? Sweat and clothes sticking to our bodies as we move make exercise seem rather uncomfortable. What can be done to fix it?Researchers at MIT have come up with a solution. The y’ve developed a workout suit with flaps that open as the wearer begins sweating. As the person cools off, the flaps shrink until they assume their original position.Sounds cool, sounds practical. These flaps are lined with live, microbial ( 微生物的)cells. These cells can detect when the body is heating up too much, and in response, expand. It’s just as if they were working within any other organism, recognizing patterns of heating and cooling, then responding appropriately to maintain body temperature. It seems kind of strange to have living cells (that aren’t your own) on you, right? Not to fear, these cells have been believed safe. Plus, there’s a material in the suit that helps the flaps/cells hover(盘旋,徘徊)ever so slightly above the exerciser's skin. The flaps start opening as soon as people start feeling warm and sweaty, and the bit of space between the suit and the skin helps develop that feeling of cool and refreshing air as they move. For more information about flaps, click here.According to , researchers have also been working to apply this technology to running shoes as well. Moisture-responsive workout clothing has the potential to revolutionize sport fashion industry. People can stay drier, cooler and fresher the moment they finish the workout, which sounds better than leaving the gym with a trail of sweat and a red face. It’s possible that the comfort of these suits can make people enjoy exercising more and exercise with more intensity.32.What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?A.To introduce the topic. B.To show his dislike of summer.C.To give an example. D.To tell of his dream.33.What can’t be learned from the passage?A.When a perso n doesn’t sweat, the flaps will come to its original position.B.When a person sweats, the flaps will expand.C. The flaps themselves can float slightly around the exerciser’s skin.D.The flaps are essential to cooling exercisers down.34.What’s mainly ta lked about in the last paragraph?A.The efficiency of the technology B.The influence of the technology.C.Different reviews on the technology. D.Author’s attitude to the technology.35.Where does the essay come from?A.Magazine B.NewspaperC.Brochure D. Website第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)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。

Travel.BOn a freezing December morning Matthew Warwick, then a 20-year-old college student, climbed on the edge of Waterloo Bridge in London. That morning, Matthew escaped from a mental health hospital, where he’d been diagnosed with schizo-affective disorder. He headed straight to the bridge, convinced that his disease was a life sentence.Hundreds of people passed by. Only one man called Alex Owen, then 25, calmly and quietly walked to Matthew’s side.“You’re alright, man Why are you sitting on a bridge”@At first Matthew wanted Alex to leave him alone, but something in Alex’s calm, down-to-earth manner struck a chord. Matthew felt faith, like he could talk to him.“It’s cold here. Why not have some coffee in a warm cafe Everything will be OK.” For the first time after the diagnosis Matthew felt perhaps it really might. He climbed back.The police, having received calls from passers-by, were waiting there. They quickly put him into a police car, in case he was to panic and jump. He lost sight of Alex, the person who’d brought him hope.Matthew ended up back in hospital. Eventually, he was well enough to return to university and finish his degree. Over the next six years, Matthew often thought about the stranger who had talked him round. Eager to thank him in person, he posted a Facebook message nicknaming the good man Mike. His Find Mike post was shared millions of times around the world, as far as Canada.Matthew was overexcited when Alex called him two weeks after his post. They had a reunion, finally having that coffee they had first planned all those years ago.“Many people walked past, but because of Alex’s kindness and sympathy, I’ve lived a good life.” Matthew said.24. Why did Matthew climb up the bridgeA. His disease made him lose hope.B. He was badly treated in the hospital..C. He wanted to draw people’s attention.D. He studied poorly in the college.25. What does the underlined phrase “struck a chord” in Paragraph 4 meanA. Drew his attention.B. Touched his heart.C. Aroused his interest.D. Blew his mind.26. Which of the following best describes AlexA. Diligent.B. Strong-willed.C. Generous.D. Caring.27. How did Matthew find AlexA. By visiting homes door-to-door.B. By calling their friends.《C. By posting a message online.D. By asking the police.CWhen a child is told he is “uncool”, it can be very painful. He may say he doesn’t care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. But these are simple ways to handle sadness by pretending it’s not there.Helping a c hild feel better in school had to be careful. If you say, “Why are you worried about what other children think about you It doesn’t matter!” Children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, “I’m going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school.”If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child’s popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc.There are things that parents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider “super”. When you plan trips, picnics,movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.、What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendship of his own.28. A child who has been informed of being “uncool” may ______.A. care nothing about itB. pretend to get hurt very muchC. develop a sense of angerD. do something uncool on purpose29. A teacher can help an unpopular child by ______.A. seeing the child as the teacher’s favoriteB. offering the child chances to show his good qualitiesC. forcing other children to make friends with the child`D. asking the child to do something for partners30. Which of the following is TRUEA. Inviting children’s friends to family activities is good for them to make friends.B. It’s only teachers’ work to make children popular.C. Parents should take their children out for picnic and shows more often.D. Children don’t care others’ comments on them.31. Which is the best title of the textA. Who Care About Unpopular Children]B. Why Some Children Are UnpopularC. What Good Qualities Unpopular Children HaveD. How an Unpopular Child Can Be HelpedDThe stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.!Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it was like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories n ot told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share, and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.Honesty and openness is important. It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.32. What’s the function of the examp le in Paragraph 2A. It reflects that people are concerned about the spread of Ebola.<B. It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.C. It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.D. It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.33. One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _______.A. story-sharing highlights the importance of hard workB. some stories make people feel sadC. people are used to exposing their weaknessesD. people sometimes have no courage to share their stories<34. Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3A. freedB. brokenC. unfoldedD. untouched35. The writer aims to convince us to _______.A. remove the dangers that can be caused by untold storiesB. be open to people close to you by sharing some secretsC. share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselvesD. realize the importance of being honest when making friends,第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)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。
