For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You shoulddecide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuesti ons 11 to 15 are based on the follow ing passage. With in fiftee n years Brita in and other n atio ns should be well on with the buildi ng ofhuge in dustrial complexes for the recycli ng of waste. The word rubbish could lose its meaningbecause everything which goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and un pleasa nt wastes would provide en ergy if no thi ng else.The latest project is to take a city of around half a millio n in habita nts and discoverexactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these rawmaterials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. Thisplant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber aswell.Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating therubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: First, it will passthrough sharp metal bars which will tear ope n the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed;then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest eleme nts from the heavy solids;after that foun ders and rollers will break up everythi ng that can be broke n. Fin ally, therubbish will pass under magnets (磁铁)，which will remove the bits of iron and steel ； the rubberand plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.The first full-scale gia nt recycli ng pla nts are perhaps fiftee n years away .In deed, withthe grow ing cost of tran sport ing rubbish to more dista nt dumps, some big cities will be forcedto build their own recycli ng pla nts before long.11.

The home-sharing service provides some people a way to make extra money while they work other jobs.The company announced recently that one of its most popular professions among American Airbnb hostsis teaching. The information came from an Airbnb study to find out what industries its American hosts work in. The study foundthat almost 10 percent of . Airbnb hosts in 2017 identified themselves as teachers or in the field of education. The home-sharing service estimated it has about 45,000 active teacher hosts in America. In addition, the study says there are an estimated 75,000 other hosts living in households with a teacher.American teacher hosts earned more than $160 million dollars from Airbnb in 2017, the company said. That includes about $54 million earned during the summer alone. The average amount earned by teacher hosts individually was $6,500 in 2017. The study did not provide data from hosts about why they choose to become part of Airbnb. But the company noted that many teachers in America face difficult economic situations. Airbnb says additional earnings from hosting can help.The . Department ofEducation reported this year that 94 percent of public school teachers said they had spent their own money on some classroom supplies in the 2015-2016 school year. It also reported that the average pay for public school teachers in 2015 -2016 was lower than in the 1990-1991 school year when the inflation rate was considered. Some states had even higher rates of teacher hosts than Airbnb i ma'tesd ensatt i o n a l average.Airbnb spokesman Christopher Nulty told The Atlanticmagazine that the home-sharing industry was not a total solution for the current problems facing many teachers. But he said he thought Airbnb could be an “importanttool ”to help teachers make extra money and give them “therespectanddignity” they hda earned.The report on the number of teacher hosts comes as Airbnb continues to face opposition by activists andofficials in some areas. . critics of the company say the service is driving uprentalmarket prices in several cities. Elected officials in some areas have proposed or approved rules to limit the influence of the service. Hotel companies have also protested that the business presents unfair competition.16.According to the text, Airbnb is ____ .A.one of the most popular professionsB. a home-sharing serviceC. a hotel companyD. an information company17.Teachers choose to become part of Airbnb because of ________ .A. their economic difficultyB. respect and dignityC. the lack of classroom suppliesD. the high rental price18.Airbnb is opposed by some people or organizations except ______ .A. officialsB. the Department of EducationC. activistsD. hotel companies19.We can learn from the passage that Airbnb _______ .A. can solve teachers'economic problemsB.drives up rental market prices in most citiesC.helps teachers find a new jobD.might be an “important tool ”for teachers to make money20.The writer 's attitude towards Airbnb is __ .A. approvedB. indifferentC. neutralD. opposedPassage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.When you ' re a teenager with little life experience, it ' s easy to build your entire life around whother people think. It can feel normal to let your friend 'idesas of what 'csool dictate （支配） the clothes you wear, how you behave yourself, and even the music you like. While this pressure is sometimes internal, teenagers are known for making each other feel ashamed if they don 't conformto social norms. And as we all know, young adults can be absolutely brutal in how they treat each other —not only those who are different, but even those who try really hard to fit in.Sadly, adulthood isn 'altways a whole lotbetter in this respect. Not only will you experience pressure to look your best, butyou 'blle forced to either keep up with —or ignore —the Joneses all throughout adulthood. That ' s right, even adulthood has itsgroups of cool kids, rich kids, outsiders, and rebels. And sometimes, the way someone else spends their money can make you feel like you should be doing the same thing, too. After all, most people still want to fit in; it doesn 'mt atter whether they ' re 15 or 50.But, should you give in to peer pressure and waste your hard-earned dollars If you truly want to get ahead financially —and build a successful, impressive life —theanswer should be a resounding “ no.T”he opportunities to spend money as an adult are nearly limitless, but they will drain your bank account if you give in every time. And at the end of the day, keeping up with your friends as an adult is just as pointless as it was in high school.Adulthood is a journey, not a race.Those who collectthe most material possessions don ' prize—no ribbon, no trophy, nothing . So, why does it feel like we need to competeI 'tlel ll you why: Because every commercial on television, online, and the radio is aimed at getting us to spend our money. Every ad campaign on Earth was created to convince us that what we have is not enough, and that we needthis item or that service—and that we' redepriving （使丧失） ourselves and our families if we don ' t buy it.Don' t believe thehype （大肆宣传）. You have nothing to prove, and you ' ll be a lot better off ifyou ignore the commercials, your friends, and the hype, and do what is best for you.21.What does the author say about teenagers 'inclination （倾向性） in their personal livesA.
