【原文】

W: Nate, can you pick up the leaves in the front yard? The grass is covered in them. Our neighbors’ house looks much cleaner.

M: It’s just going to snow soon, so why does it matter?

W: It’s not supposed to snow for a week. Picking up leaves is part of what you do for your pocket money, remember? Or maybe I shouldn’t give you money every week…

M: Okay, fine, I’ll do it. Where are the trash bags?

W: Under the window. Speaking of the window, can you ask your sister to clean it? I’ll get dinner started. Have you heard from dad? He should have been home by now.

M: No, I haven’t. I think Tina is doing homework, so she probably can’t do her chores. Her book report is due in a week.

But what happens after you clean out those plastic containers and pour them into a recycling bin? Unfortunately, the outcome isn’t as rosy as many people think; recycling is unlikely to give plastic to-go containers new life. “Of all the waste produced in 2017, only 8.4% of it eventually got recycled. It’s not that consumers aren’t motivated to recycle or that they don’t have ready access to recycling programs; the United States simply doesn’t have the proper facilities (设施),” said John Hocevar, a marine biologist with Greenpeace USA.

A recent report surveyed the United States’ 367 materials recovery facilities—the facilities that sort our recycling—and found only plastic bottles were regularly recycled. The fate of most other types of plastic such as packaging usually ends up being buried or burnt.

Not all plastic is created equal. If you turn over a transparent plastic bottle, like those used to hold water, you’ll notice a number “1” inside a triangular recycling symbol. Non-transparent jugs, like the kind that hold milk, get a “2”. At materials recovery facilities, or MRF’s, plastics get sorted based on these numbers, which indicate how recyclable they are.

Numbers 1 and 2 are relatively recyclable. Recycling gets more difficult with higher numbers, called “mixed plastic”. This waste makes up around 69% of all the plastic we use. It’s much more expensive to process than numbers 1 and 2.

So what the United States needs is facilities equipped to process other kinds of plastic. But Hocevar came up with a different solution: “The really simple answer is that we have to stop making so much throwaway plastic.”

That said, is recycling worth it? For bottles labeled (贴标签) “1” or “2”, the answer is “yes”. There’s also a growing market for plastics labeled “5”. For other numbers, Hocevar’s answer was simple: a resounding (响亮的) “no” on numbers 3, 4, 6 and 7.

【1】Which problem is the USA facing according to the text?

A.People don’t know the best way to recycle.

B.Ready recycling programs are not accessible.

C.People lack awareness about plastic recycling.

D.There isn’t suitable equipment for plastic recycling.

【2】What may John Hocevar think of plastic recycling in the USA?

A.Productive.B.Promising.

C.Unsatisfying.D.Controversial.

【3】What information can the numbers on plastic bottles convey?

A.Whether it is easy to recycle them.

B.The recycling technology they need.

C.They places where they were produced.

D.Which dustbin we should put them into.

【4】What should we do with plastic according to Hocevar?

A.Give up the use of plastic.

B.Develop more cheaper facilities.

C.Only recycle plastics labeled 1 to 5.

D.Reduce the production of mixed plastic.

【题目】 It has been four years since Grandma Joy told her grandson that she had never seen the most beautiful views of America. Since then, they have gone on many cross-country trips.

Brad Ryan had been feeling tired of studying in a vet school when he visited his 85-year-old grandma in 2015. He hoped that spending some quality family time would help lift his spirits.

As he was telling his grandma stories of his travels, however, he was heartbroken to hear that she had never seen the ocean or mountains. Ryan then asked his grandmother if she would like to go hiking with him. Needless to say, she was more than happy to agree.

They have since visited 29 different national parks across America---from the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado to the Acadia National Park in Maine. Over the four years, Ryan and his grandma have driven 25,000 miles through 38 states. And it has greatly affected his quality of life. “Seeing it through my grandmother’s eyes, who every morning wakes up and is thankful to be alive has taught me how to live,” Ryan said. “With her, I’ve had to slow down and see life in a different way, which has made it a lot richer.”

“I love my grandma so much, and it’s just really giving me a lot of peace when she passed away. I can go back to these places, feel her spirit, and feel connected to her,” he added.

Ryan posted all of their trips on Facebook. He hopes more young people will spare time to be with their elders. “I want young people to know that hanging out with your grandparents is cool. And there’s so much we can learn from our elders,” Ryan said.

【1】Why did Brad Ryan visit his grandma in 2015?

D.To share his travelling experiences.

A.Shocked.B.Sad.

C.Doubtful.D.Excited

【3】What influence did Brad Ryan’s grandma have on him?

A.She made him live a better life.

B.She helped him find his life goal.

C.She told him to have peace of mind.

D.She gave him a lot of encouragement.

【4】What is Brad Ryan’s purpose of posting their trips online?

A.To advise young people to take a trip.

B.To share his joy of travelling with his grandma.

C.To encourage the young to keep their elders company.

D.To show young people what they can learn from their elders.

Dear Sir,

Thank you for inviting me to the summer English course in your school. As for your choice between the two courses, I prefer the four-week course because this will allow me more time to do some traveling but make a few new friends. Of all the subjects I’m learning at school, I like English best. I had been learning English for eleven years but my spoken English remains poor. So I really hope to take this chance improve it. If possible, I’d like to stay with a family for a couple of days in order that I can know some customs in England, which I’m particularly interested in it. I believe I will have a wonderful time this summer.

Yours truly,

Grace

School uniforms should be required for all students for some important reasons. Firstly, wearing uniforms makes everyone feel equal. It makes students 【1】 come from poor families feel the same.

【题目】 Modern agriculture and its ability to feed billions of people may be among humanity’s greatest successes. However, it comes with hidden costs. For example, have you ever considered how much water is needed to provide you with a steak or a salad? It may surprise you.

In a recent study published in the journal Nutrients, scientists from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization(CSIRO), Australia's national science organization, took a close look at the diets of 9,341 adult Australians—specifically, their “water-scarcity footprints(水消耗足迹)”.

It turned out that a sweet tooth not only adds to our waistlines(腰围) but also stresses our water resources. The water-scarcity footprint is a widely recognized measurement of water consumption. First, it counts the liters of water you used. Then, it looks at the place where the water was used. The more lacking water is in your area, the larger your water-scarcity footprint.

The scientists found that the average Australian's diet had a water-scarcity footprint of 362 liters per day. Snacks—cookies, cakes and alcohol—accounted for 25 percent of the water-scarcity footprint. The research also included a glass of wine(41 liters), a single serving of potato chips(23 liters), and a small bar of milk chocolate(21 liters).

Not surprisingly, cutting out snacks would be the N0.1 priority if you wanted to lower your own water-scarcity footprint.

Earth's surface is 70 percent water, but only 2.5 percent of that can be used for drinking or farming. By 2030, a world of about 8.6 billion people will need 35 percent more water, 40 percent more energy, and 50 percent more food, according to the United States National Intelligence Council. So, we need to watch what we eat, not just for our personal health but for the health of our societies.

【1】What did the recent study closely focus on?

A.Modern agriculture.B.Average Australians.

C.Water resources.D.Water-scarcity footprints.

【2】What did scientists from CSIRO find in their study?

A.Sweet teeth lead to thin waistlines.

B.Australians' diets are mainly made up of snacks.

C.The water-scarcity fooprint is a measurement of saving water.

D.Lacking water in our area means a larger water-scarcity footprint.

【3】What does the underlined part “the N0.1 priority” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A.the least important thingB.the least impossible thing

C.something to be done firstD.something to be prevented first

【4】What does the last paragraph intend to tell us?

A.Take care of our diets.B.Protect our drinking water.

C.Make good use of energy.D.Produce more healthy food.

【题目】Why will Mr. Rogers ask for leave next week?

Sixteen years ago a boy 【1】(give) me an important gift. It was a smile. It was the early autumn of my first year at a middle school, and my old school was far away.

At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed by me and then 【6】(turn) back. He looked at me, with a smile. Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and 【7】(friend). It made me feel happy and warm. That smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and made friends. Day by day, I became 【8】(close) to everyone in my class. The boy 【9】 the lucky smile has become my best friend now. One day I asked him 【10】 he had smiled, but he couldn’t remember doing so! It doesn’t matter because all the dark days have gone.
