It is just too costly. But the eastern state Maryland has found a way to make such equipment available during some parts of the school year-they put it on a bus!The 13-meter-long Maryland BioLab is a mobile classroom filled with equipment that lets students explore many kinds of science. It travels around the state visiting schools. Today, the bus has stopped at Patapsco High School in the city of Baltimore. Science teacher Leah Warble is very pleased that her students could perform an experiment-using real chemicals. "Today the students are able to do an acid-based hydration (水合作用). Normally, they would do it through simulations on the puter. And now the BioLab allows them to do it in real life, actual time and actually apply it to something that we use in real life."The mobile lab has been bringing bioscience education to schools around Maryland for more than a decade. Scientist Angel Mangus, who is in charge of the mobile laboratory, says that many students finish their experiments and leave the bus excited about the possibility of being a scientist. She says their goal is to help create the next generation of scientists.That made a difference to 15-year-old Seda Sinan, who is interested in biology. "It gave me more materials to work with than what I have at school. It' s more interactive." Her classmate Shenara Jefferson agrees, "We students get real-life experience that we do not get in a classroom."Back in the school classroom, Leah Warblers students continue working on the results of their experiments on the bus. "It does help me do my job. " Ms. Warble says children usually do not know what they are interested in until they get real-life experience with a subject. "Well, the excitement of feeling like a real scientist, even just a change in what they are wearing, like wearing goggles (护目镜) and blue glovesmade them feel more like scientists. They are more likely to be involved in the science careers in the future.66.

Together, we’ve gone through both tears and happiness.About 12 years ago, I made acquaintance with it following an order from my mom. Many hours of boredom were spent practicing it. And to make things worse,the disappointment in my teacher’s eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer,striking on my heart.One day,I finally decided: I hate it!By chance, things changed when I was seven. I was at home lying on the sofa,wondering how those famous violinists dealt with this terrible dilemma.I searched online for the E-minor Concerto, a well-known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, and listened to it.A beautiful and mysterious sound came from the violin as the bow moved across it.It was like the music slid over the flowers,rose up,and started to fill the air.The violin’s voice woke up the sun,made the trees green,and freshened the air.As the music changed,the sky turned back to gray. A gloomy shade covered the grass as all the sunshine disappeared. I could hear children crying and men shouting. It was like aninvisible claw had grabbed my heart tightly, making it unable to beat.That glorious day set off my passion and interest in violin —I grabbed mine and never let it go. Before the memories faded, I stared at my instrument. Without hesitating, I picked it up, rosined( 用松香擦 ) the bow, and began to play. Peace filled my heart.My violin has been by my side for 12years.When I feel happy,an energetic tune makes it even better; when I’m deep in sorrow, a peaceful tune washes it away, when I’m walking on air, feeling especially pleased with my achievements, solemn(庄严的) tunes calm me down. Gradually, it has become a part of my life.My violin, shall I compare you to a summer’s day?4. What further contributed to the author’s dislike of violin-playing?A. Orders from mum.B. Boredom of practice.C. Loss of passion for violin.D. Disappointment in the teacher’s eyes.5. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. The author’s feeling was continuously influenced by the music.B. The weather actually changed because of the tune.C. The sudden change made the author’s heart unable to beat.D. The scenery outside the room was quite attractive.6.

He was crazy about Felix Mendelssohn’s works.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Deep love for musicB. My dislike and like of violinC. An inspiring story of violinD. Musical soul mate—violinOn my fourth day in a self-driving car,I finally felt comfortable enough to let it stop itself. Before then, I'd allowed the car — a Volvo S90 sedan — to control the direction, with my hands still on the wheel, and to adjust speed in traffic. By Day 4, I was ready to make a jump into the future.With the car traveling on a busy road, I activated the driverless mode 〔形式〕 .Soon, a traffic light turned red. For a split second, I preparedto get on the brakes. There was no need. The cameras and computers in the Volvo recognized the traffic conditions and smoothly began applying the brake.If you're anything like most people, you're familiar with this anxiety. Almost 80percent of Americans fear traveling in a self-driving car, a recent survey found.Researchers at the University of Chicago have conducted some clever experiments studying the phenomenon. They asked participants 〔参与者〕 to complete tasks and compare their performance with a computer system's. After the computer made a mistake, people were unwilling to use it again. After the people made mistakes, their self-confidence wouldn't change. It didn't matter that the human beings made more mistakes than the computer. So it is with driving. More than 37,000 Americans died in crashes last year, most from human error. The death count from cars goes beyond that from guns. So if you are shocked and angry by guns and want things to change,you should feel the same about car crashes.Technology creates an opportunity to save puters don't getdrunk or distracted by text messages,and they don't have blind spots. Just look at commercial airlines: Automation 〔自动化〕 has helped all but get rid of deadly crashes among American air carriers.The last one happened in 2021.The technology for self-driving cars still isn't good enough. But it is improving rapidly. Within a few years, many cars will have advanced crash-avoidance systems and driving will be revolutionized sooner than many people now understand.8. How does the author introduce the topic?A. By offering a piece of news.B. By giving background information.C. By describing an experience.D. By introducing a latest car.9. What can be learnt about the participants of the experiments?A. They tended to accept the computer's faults.B. They seemed to care little about their own mistakes.C. They felt less confident after making mistakes.D. They performed better than computer systems.10. The author mentioned commercial airlines .A. to prove the advantage of technologyB. to assess the security ofdriverless carsC. to find fault with computersD. to advertise for the commercialairlines11. What does the author expect of the self-driving car?A. It'll avoid deadly crashes entirely.B. It'll occupy the market in a short time.C. It'll be bettered in every possible way.D. It'll be popularized sooner than expected.It is believed that around half the US adult population will be obese( 肥胖的 ) by 2030, while one in four will fall into the severely obese category.This is according to a new study led by the Harvard T.H.Chan School of Public Health, which found that levels of obesity are increasingin every state. Indeed the predictions show that levels of severe obesity could be higher than 25 percent in half of states.“Especially striking was our finding that among adults with very low income (less than $20,000 per year), severe obesity is predicted to be the most common in 44 states—almost everywhere in the US, 〞 a researcher said.The research was carried out to inform state policymakers—and perhaps help change the tendency.The study authors say the best form of attack is prevention. Limiting intake of sugar is stressed as one of the most effective and cost-effective methods for reducing obesity levels,and a tax likely to save more money than it costs.Sugar (and the sugar industry)has come under fire for its role in promoting obesity.Indeed,one recent study published in September 2021 puts responsibility for today ’s obesity epidemic (流行病 ) firmly on the shoulders of sugar,concluding high-sugar diets during childhood in the seventies and eighties could be behind the rise.“We knew from previous work that obesity is increasing in the US, and that some states and demographic groups (人群) are at higher risk, but we were surprised that even the states with the lowest obesity will be above35percent in 2030—a level currently considered high, a researcher told Newsweek. What is clear is that we will not be able to treat our way out of this epidemic—achieving and keeping weight loss is difficult—soprevention efforts will be key to making progress in this area.〞12. What’s the most surprising finding in the study?A. Over 25% of people will be seriously obese.B. Levels of obesity are increasing in every state.C. poor adults are more likely to be severely obese.D. Half of the US adults will be overweight by 2030.13. What is the best way to solve the problem according to the passage?A. To reduce the tax.B. To limit intake of sugar.C. To reduce obesity level.D. To inform policymakers.14. What does the underlined word “fire〞 actually refer to in paragraph 4?A. Blame from researchers.B. Rapid chemical change.C. Current obesity epidemic.D. High-sugar diets.15. What’s the main idea of the last two paragraphs?A. Obesity is increasing everywhere in the US.B. All states in America are at the same level of obesity.C. Maintaining weight loss is a good way to deal with obesity.D. Diets with less sugar are vital to preventing the problem of obesity.第二节 (一共 5 小题；每一小题 2.5 分，满分是 12.5 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

But there may be a(n) 41 to doing so, as a study has claimed that 3D films exercise the brain and improve short-term functioning in a similar way to brain-training tests.The research was led by neuroscientist(神经科学家) Dr Patrick Fagan from Goldsmiths University in London. More than 100 people took part in the experiment, where participants watched Disney film Big Hero6 in either 42 type or RealD 3D. They also carried out a brain-training-style test before and after seeing a part from the film. The test covered memory, reaction time and cognitive (认知的) function, and the results were later 43 .According to the research, participants 44 a 23 per cent increase in cognitive processing, as well as an 11 percent increase in reaction time.Dr Fagan said that the results showed enough of an improvement in brain function to suggest that 3D could play a part in improving brain 45 in the future. “These findings are more significant than youmight think,” he said. “It is a fact that people are living longer and there is a(n) 46 decline in cognitive brain function in old age which can damage future quality of life. There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function. The initial results of this study indicate that 3D films may 47 play a role in slowing this decline.”A second part of the experiment involved those watching the film being fitted with headsets(耳机)that48 brain activity and this too showed heightened activity when watching 3D. According to the results, participants were seven percent more engaged with what they were watching, adding to the argument that 3D movies are more like watching real-life-something. “A seven percent rise in emotional engagement is 49 remarkable. Watching in 3D gives the viewer such an enriched and quality experience, as these results show,” he said. “In evolutionary 50 , the results of both parts of the test certainly make sense. 3D films are more likely to heighten the senses and cause emotional arousal—this, in turn, makes the brain run at quicker speeds,” Dr Fagan added.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, Cand D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Researchers recently find w omen likely face work environments that push against the “having it all” mentality, leading to feelings of guilt and depression.Trying to have it all could be bad for your mental health, according to a new study that finds that “supermoms” have higher rates of depression compared with working moms who let things 51 .The research, presented Aug. 20 at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association in Las Vegas, finds that working is 52 for mothers’ mental health. But among working mothers, the least depressed are those who don’t expect to 53 work and family life perfectly, said study researcher Katrina Leupp, a graduate student at the University of Washington in Seattle.“The ideal that women can do it all actually 54 the level of depressive symptoms compared to women who were more doubtful about whether or not work and family c an be balanced,” Leupp told LiveScience.Leupp analyzed survey 55 from 1,600 married women who participated in a large survey called the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. In 1987, the women answered questions to judge their support of women’s 56 , including whether they agreed with statements such as “Women are much happier if they stay at home and take care of their children.”In 1992 and 1994, the now 40-year-old women answered questions about their symptoms of depression. Like earlier studies, the survey data indicated that women who worked outside the home had fewer symptoms of depression, perhaps because outside work giveswomen more 57 interaction, more varied activities and a larger income, Leupp said.Among the employed women, though, the cheeriest were those who had indicated in their younger years the least 58 for women balancing career and family. The results held even after controlling for earlier levels of depression.“Somewhat 59 , women who don’t expect to be able to balance work and family have better mental health than those who do,” Leupp said.The study didn’t explain why optimistic (乐观的) views of balancing work and motherhood would60 later depression. “The reason may come down to 61 and real-world work environme nts,”Leupp said. “Women who expect to have it all probably come up against 62 that aren’t designed with work-life balance in mind. When they can’t balance everything perfectly, these supermoms are more likely to feel 63 .”“I think this research rea lly speaks to a 64 between women’s expectations and the actual structure of the workplace,” Leupp said.“The takeaway for working moms is to temper their optimism about balancing 65 and employmentand not to blame themselves if they struggle. Recognize that if it feels difficult, it’s because it is difficult.”51. A. happen B. continue C. slide D. end52. A. good B. ready C. hard D. possible53.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits bestaccording to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）The twenty-four horses dash around a racetrack. The thunder of their hooves (蹄) rings in the riders’ears, nearly drowning out the cheering of the crowd. After three or four minutes of suspense, one horse crosses the finish line first, winning the Melbourne Cup and earning a place in history.The horses that compete in the Melbourne Cup—one of the world’s most famous horseraces—were fated to race. Bred for speed, these horses are the few that were singled out as having potential to become champions.Preparing a racehorse to compete requires a team. A horse’s owner manages the team and decides which races to enter. A trainer determines the racehorse’s diet and exercise. Regular exercise makes a horse less likely to be injured, but overtraining tires the horse. A groomer (动物美容师) cares for the racehorse and reports any problems he discovers to the trainer. And of course, no horserace could be run without a rider. These riders train for long hours and travel constantly from one race to another. They need to make a strategy, adapt to changing conditions and communicate with their horse to guide it to victory.Australia’s most famous horserace, the Melbourne Cup, is 3,200 meters of pure excitement. Each year 300 or 400 horses are nominated(提名), but only 24 can run. The competitors are chosen based on a number of factors, but winners of certain races qualify automatically.Each racehorse receives a handicap—a certain weight it must carry to give each horse an equal chance of winning—two months before the race. Originally, horses that seemed likely to win were assigned larger handicaps. But the rules have changed, reducing the handicap for previous winners.The first Melbourne Cup in 1861 drew a crowd of 4,000 spectators, and the race’s popularity has grown since then. Held on the first Tuesday of November, the cup has become a four-day festival with fine food and entertainment.The Melbourne Cup began during a gold rush as a form of entertainment for the rich. Today it still attracts society’s upper class. They come dressed in their finest to enjoy the event in comfort.But anyway it’s all about the race—the effort of horses and riders, the suspense and the thrill of victory.66. What can be learned about the horses in the Melbourne Cup?A. They are all winners of a certain race.B. They are raised and trained by joint effort.C. They are chosen from ordinary horses.D. Their fates are determined by their trainers.67.

The solution may be just a few steps away.“Energy harvesting”promises to power countless consumer devices, often with nothing more thanyour body’s movement or heat. Dozens of companies around the world already offer such products, but many experts believe the market for the technology could explode due to electronic devices being developed for the Internet of Things.“It’s huge,”said Graham Martin, CEO of the EnOcean Alliance, a San Ramon-based group of businesses that promotes wireless energy-harvesting technologies. With the Internet of Things expected to combine billions of devices, “if they are all battery-powered, we’ll have a problem because there’s not enough lithium (锂) in the world,” he added. “So a lot of them will have to use energy harvesting.”Among the most basic forms of the technology is body power. When certain materials are squeezed or stretched, the movement of their atoms creates an electrical charge. Automatic watches have employed the concept for decades, for example, by winding themselves when their user moves their arm. Now, the concept is being considered for a number of other devices.In a contest seeking visionary ideas for wearable technologies, Intel awarded $5,000 for a concept to change the temperature difference between a person’s body and a special piece of clothing they’d wear into electricity for mobile devices.Using sound to power devices is another energy-harvesting variation. Stanford University engineers are testing smart microchips (芯片) that create electricity from ultrasound (超声波) to power implantable (可植入的) devices that can analyze a person’s nervous system or treat their diseases.A textile (纺织品) research association in Spain is proposing to obtain electricity from radio waves that flow around everyone to power sensors sewn into clothes, which can monitor a person’s heartbeat or other vital signs.Research firm IDTechEx has estimated that annual global sales of energy-harvesting products could hit $2.6 billion by 2024, while WinterGreen Research predicts sales of $4.2 billion by 2021.Obtaining stable energy from devices can be complex, however. For one thing, the motion that generates the electricity has to be constant to be useful. Moreover, the amount of power the devices produce depends on the person using them, according to a ColumbiaUniversity study. It determined that taller people on average provide about 20 percent more power than shorter ones when walking, running or cycling.It’s also unclear how eagerly consumers might welcome energy-harvesting products. While such devices are expected to cost less than battery-powered alternatives when compared over many years, experts say, people may continue buying ones with batteries merely because those would be cheaper in the short term.74. Which “explode”in the following sentences has the most similar meaning to the word “explode”inParagraph 2?A. They were clearing up when the second bomb exploded.B. The continued tension could explode into more violence.C. The population exploded to 40,000 during the last tourist season.D. The boss exploded when he heard of the resignation of the secretary.75.

Here’s a suggestion: Make a flexible work schedule part of the deal.Asurvey this summer of 1,215 U.S. managers and employees across a variety of industries, by EY (formerly Ernst & Young), found those aged 18 to 32 rank flexibility among the perks (特殊待遇) they want most, with 33% saying they wouldn’t work anywhere that didn’t offer it. But it seems those aged 33 to 48value flextime even more: 38% of them consider it non-negotiable, with men who said so, at 40%, slightly outnumbering women (37%).“Companies first started offering flexible schedules, in the late 80s and the 90s, as a way to recruit (招募) and keep talented women, but it’s gone way beyond that now,” observes Karyn Twaronite, an EY partner who came up through the tax side of the business.Noting that both men and women, in all age groups, ranked flextime(弹性工作制) tops among non-cash perks, Twaronite adds, “That result mirrors exactly what we’re seeing here at EY.” The accounting and consulting giant, No. 57 on Fortune’s Best Companies to Work For, has had thousands of employees working flexible schedules for years—including, since 2004, six weeks’ of paid leave for new dads.“Flextime may have started out as a women’s issue, but it’s changed into something that people of both sexes have come to expect,” he adds. “I think it’s partly because of the large nu mber of two-career households now, where people have to adapt to two demanding professional schedules instead of just one.”The EY survey suggests that, in the next decade or so, the opportunity for a life outside the office will become an even bigger draw than it already is. Most of those surveyed still work a set schedule, the report notes, but “respondents expect a shift in the coming years to more flexible hours, as 62% currently work standard office hours and only 50% expect to do so in five to ten yea rs.”That doesn’t surprise Twaronite. “Work is changing,” she observes. “The technology to connect anywhere and anytime means that people are expected to be on call 24 hours a day, especially in global companies that operate across different time zones. The other side of that is that employers are adapting to people’s lives outside of work—because they have to be.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What is the main finding of the survey?79. Flextime was originally aimed at _____.80. The result of the survey is caused by the fact that _____.81. What makes flextime possible according to Twaronite?第Ⅱ卷（共47分）I. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1. 出国对于这个高中生来讲根本没有吸引力。

While that may be true, some of the best things in Texas are quite small. Case in point: tiny Mount Vernon, a town of just under 3,000 people. But if you do come across Mount Vernon, you might just get an intention to stay. That happens a lot around here, and it’s worth noting how remarkable that is.Tom Wilkinson was born in Mount Vernon 87 years ago and moved back after he retired from his career as a college English professor in Dallas. Like many of his neighbors, Wilkinson can track his ancestors back to the pioneers who settled here in the 1870s. And like many, he values the simple life you can’t easily find in big cities. “Peo ple are still polite. They hold the door open for you.” he says, “We grow strong roots here!”Preserving and honoring the past has been key to helping Mount Vernon survive. The residents have restored and reopened some of the empty stores, including the old barbershop, built more than 100 years ago. An old general store was turned into a combination space. Wander in on any given day and you might find a book club discussion, a Coffee Ladies meet-up, or a work session for the local genealogy(家谱) group among the tables of people chatting over cups of coffee and plates of food.Mount Vernon has the kind of big hearts you tend to find in a small town. For instance, when a local policeman was diagnosed with cancer last year, ten-year-old Lola McKellar set up a lemonade stand to raise money for his treatments. In 2015, when a 350-year flood sent water rushing into local homes, an army of volunteers showed up to get a wheelchair-boundneighbor and his wife to higher ground, and then came back to help rebuild.4．What does the author think of Mount Vernon?A．Remote. B．Wealthy.C．Primitive. D．Attractive.5．Why did Tom Wilkinson come back to Mount Vernon?A．He preferred the simple and natural life. B．He could continue his language teaching. C．He could live together with his ancestors. D．He could meet more neighbors of his age.6．What can we infer about people’s way of life in Mount Vernon from Paragraph 3?A．It is in danger of extinction. B．It is quickly changing over time.C．It is conservative but harmonious. D．It is being disturbed by the outside world. 7．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．The history of Mount Vernon. B．The humanity of Mount Vernon. C．The volunteers of Mount Vernon. D．The reconstruction of Mount Vernon.Andrew Orkin was taking a break from his evening jog to sit by Prospect Park Lake when he was frightened to see a mass of snakes. They turned out to be swamp eels(黄鳝) that had escaped from one of two large plastic bags that split open as a man dragged them to the shoreline. After dumping the eels in the lake, the man walked away, explaining to bystanders that “I just want to save lives.”The illegal release became a curiosity on social media, but the dumping of exotic(外来的) animals in urban parks isn’t n ew. New Yorkers free thousands of non-native animals every year. “People like animals and they sometimes think they’re doing a good thing by letting them go,” said Jason Munshi-South, an urban ecologist at Fordham University. “Most will die. Some will beco me a problem, and then there’s no going back.”New York state and city officials say it’s too soon to know how the eels in Prospect Park might affect local species. The eels eat almost anything including plants, insects, frogs, turtles and other fish. And they could prey(捕食) upon or compete with the park’s native species for however long they survive.There are no plans to eradicate the eels. Since they’re active at night and spend most of their time in the mud of lakes and rivers, spotting and removing them from the lake could be impossible. Officials say they will look for swamp eels during the agency’s next survey in thespring, but don’t expect them to make it through the winter. However, University of Toronto freshwater ecologist Nicholas Mandrak said, “Even if they don’t survive, they could have negative short-term effects.”8．Why did the man pour the eels into the lake?A．To challenge the law. B．To increase the local species.C．To keep the eels alive. D．To become a web celebrity.9．Why did the released eels become a concern?A．They might get caught once again.B．They might not adapt to the new environment.C．They might frighten the joggers by the lake.D．They might pose a threat to local species.10．What does the underlined word “eradicate” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Get rid of. B．Look after.C．Sell. D．Examine.11．What is the officials’ opinion about dealing with the problem?A．It is risky. B．It is tricky.C．It takes patience. D．It requires legal support.The scientists who re-engineered the plastic-eating enzyme(酶) PETase have now created a new enzyme called “cocktail” , which can digest plastic up to six times faster.PETase breaks down PET back into its building blocks, creating an opportunity to recycle plastic and reduce plastic pollution. PET is the most common thermoplastic(热塑性塑料) used to make single-use drinks bottles, which takes hundreds of years to break down in the environment, but PETase can shorten this time to days. The initial discovery set up the prospect of a revolution in plastic recycling, creating a potential low-energy solution to tackle plastic waste.Now, the same trans-Atlantic team have combined PETase and its “partner”, a second enzyme called MHETase, to generate much bigger improvements: simply mixing PETase with MHETase doubled the speed of PET breakdown, and engineering a connection between the two enzymes to create a “super-enzyme”, increased this activity by a further three times.The team was co-led by the scientists who engineered PETase, Professor John McGeehan and Dr Greg g Beckham. Professor McGeehan said: “Gregg and I were chattingabout how PETase attacks the surface of the plastics and MHETase chops things up further, so it seemed natural to see if we could use them together. Our first experiments showed that they did work better together, so we decided to physically link them. It took a great deal of work, but it was worth the effort — we were delighted to see that our new enzyme is up to three times faster than the separate enzymes.”The original PETase enzyme discovery indicated the first hope that a solution to the global plastic pollution problem might be within grasp, though PETase alone is not yet fast enough to handle the tons of PET bottles. Combining it with a second enzyme, and finding together they work even faster, means another leap forward has been taken towards finding a solution to plastic waste. PETase and the new combined MHETase-PETase both work by digesting PET plastic. This allows for plastics to be made and reused endlessly, reducing our reliance on fossil(化石) resources.12．What can we learn about “cocktail” from the text?A．It doubles the breakdown of plastics.B．It takes hundreds of years to break down.C．It contributes to breaking down plastic quickly.D．It deals with the plastic waste three times faster.13．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．A new study of PET. B．The breakdown of PET.C．The discovery of PETase. D．The functions of PETase.14．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．Co-leading the trans-Atlantic team. B．Combining PETase and MHETase. C．Attacking the surface of the plastics. D．Talking about conducting experiments. 15．What can we infer from the text?A．PET pollution is no longer a difficult problem to deal with.B．New enzyme is speeding up our reliance on fossil resources.C．MHETase-PETase makes the world free from plastic pollution.D．Plastic-eating enzyme “cocktail” promises new hope for plastic waste.二、七选五How to Reduce Gift Wrap WasteWrapping paper may have “paper” in its name, but that doesn’t automatically mean itcan be recycled. 16．Try these suggestions for cutting down the amount of wrapping paper you throw away.Reuse what you have. 17．It’s estimated that the U.S. produces 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper annually, and 2.3 million pounds of that stays in people’s homes, awaiting reuse.Use different materials. 18．Select basic brown thick paper that can be made up with a bow, ribbons, leaves, pinecones or markers. Repurpose newspapers, old posters and children’s school artworks as wrapping paper. There are plenty of other eco-friendly alternatives to wrapping paper that are just delightful and celebratory.19．Use baskets, fabric, gift boxes or bags, tea towels, and more to contain and display your presents. Learn the Japanese art of wrapping, using beautiful knots(绳结) to fasten colorful, reusable fabrics in attractive ways. This way, you’ll have no wrapping paper wasteto deal with.Ask for better paper. Shops store what customers want, and recyclability should be a top priority, so let that be known when you’re out shopping. As explained by Simon Ellin, CEOof the Recycling Association, a trade body that represents about 90 waste management companies and paper merchants in the United Kingdom, “It’s a campaign we’ve been on all year — do you really need to design a non-paper wrapping paper? Make paper with recycling in mind!” 20．A．Try zero waste.B．Shop with that in mind, too.C．You d on’t have to choose shining paper to decorate a present.D．In fact, many types of wrapping paper cannot due to their materials.E.When wrapping paper is extremely thin, it has few good quality fibers for recycling.F.Wrapping paper can be used many times if care is taken to unwrap it without tearing.G.Having a mix of recyclable and non-recyclable papers is a real problem for companies.三、完形填空Last month, Koch went to make breakfast and found a(n) 21 guest usinghis pool.

AMobility challenges? Help is at handExperiencing diminished (减弱的) mobility can be extremely difficult. When people talk about it, a lot of the focus is on the physical consequences, but coping with its emotional impact-the loss of freedom, the knock to your confidence and the feelings of frustration are just as significant as the physical.Mobility scootersThere are various resources and mobility aids out there that can help-wheelchair, mobility scooter or walking aid, etc. If you struggle to walk, but need to travel long distances, a mobility scooter might be a better choice.

B Last summer, Maria and her mother moved from their house in the countryside to a flat building inChicago.Maria really liked some things about the city, but she missed her house and yard in the countryside.One day, Maria was in her flat building when she noticed her neighbor, Mrs.Garcia, carrying a gardening tool and a bag of soil.Maria wondered how Mrs.Garcia was able to garden in the city.“My mom used to grow the most delicious vegetables, and I know she misses her garden now that we don't have a yard, ”said Maria.Mrs.Garcia laughed.“I'll show you, ”she said.Maria thought that Mrs.Garcia would take her to the park, but she took her to the roof (屋顶). When the door opened, Maria was surprised to see rows of flowers and vegetables on the roof.“What a wonderful garden！”said Maria.Mrs.Garcia told Maria that for a long time the roof was just an empty space.Then some of the people in the building asked the owners to turn it into a community garden.The building owners liked the idea because the plants not only helped to keep the air clean, but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmer weather.“I plant flowers in my own place, ”Mrs.Garcia said, “but you would be surprised by how different the plants are up here.Some people grow vegetables just like your mom.You can do some of the same things in the city as in the countryside.You just have to be creative！”4. When did Maria and her mother move to a flat building in Chicago?A. Last month.B. Last winter.st summer.D. Last week. 5. Where did Mrs.Garcia take Maria to one day? A. The park. B. The roof. C. The garden in front of her house. D. The countryside. 6. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the community garden? A. It used the empty space well. B. It helped keep the air clean. C. It helped keep the building cooler. D. It made the building stronger. 7. What is the best title for this passage? A. A Creative Lady B. A Rooftop Garden C. An Empty Roof D. A Special Building C Sports fandom is about more than just entertainment. It can boost your self-esteem (自尊) and make you happier—and you don’t have to root for the winning team to gain the benefits.Being a sports fan is a “very psychologically healthy activity,” says Daniel Wann, professor at Murray State University whose research program centers on the psychology of sport fandom. Fandom connects us to otherlike-minded people, which satisfies our human need for belonging, he says.These relationships are significant: People who identify as sports fans have higher levels of self-esteem, lower levels of lon eliness and tend to be more satisfied with their lives compared to those who aren’t interested in sports, Wann says. Fans tend to have more access to social support, help and resources as well. Research suggests that when people have support from their communities, they have better health.Beyond bonding, fans get to enjoy the psychological benefits of winning, even if they have nothing to do with the players or games, says Stephen Reysen, associate professor at Texas A&M University-Commerce who studies identity and fandom.“Individuals feel that the fan interest (in this case a sport team) is a part of them,” Reysen says. “So when theteam is winning, you feel like you are winning even though you are not a player.”Of course, teams sometimes lose.So, why do people continue to put their faith behind teams that tend to lose? People who feel a strong psychological connection to a team are more likely to root for a team when they’re having a losing season, Reysen says.“Sports fandom has nothing to do with the outcome of a game,” Wann says. For example, if a pizza restaurant continually got your order wrong, you’d likely switch to a more reliable one. But because being a fan is so central to people’s identities, people are willing to accept defeat and continue to be loyal to a team.Being part of a fan community can also help people cope with losses. A 2019 study found that watching a football game with other fans helps to ease the negative psychological effects of losing.“For fans of the losing team, sharing t he pain may have protected them from losing self-esteem,” Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, co-author of the study and professor of communication at The Ohio State University said in a release.8. According to the passage, why do sports fans feel happier?A. Because they could gain the benefits from the winning team.B. Because they can share pains and happiness with people who have the common interests.C. Because they could have a low level of self-esteem.D. Because most of them are optimistic.9. What is the significance of the relationships between sports fans?A. Sports fans have support from their favorite teams.B. Sports fans have higher levels of loneliness.C. Sports fans are likely more content with their lives.D. Sports fans tend to compare themselve s to those who aren’t interested in sports.10. According to the passage,if the team has a losing season, the sports fans may .A. display their identitiesB. have a boost of self-esteemC. not support the team any moreD. have a negative psychology period11. According to the passage, what can help sports fans deal with losses of their team?A. Being part of the team.B. Ordering a pizza in a different restaurant.C. Sharing the pain with family members.D. The loyalty to the team.DLife is filled with challenges. As we get older, we come to realize that those challenges are the very things that shape us and make us who we are. It is the same with the challenges that come with friendship. When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two choices. We can try to challenge it, or we can decide that the thing isn’t worth the trouble and call it quits. Although there are certainly times when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most case what we needed is commitment (投入) and communication.When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how painful or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to face it instead of running away from it. Communication is making space for discussion and talking abo ut how you feel instead of just saying what the other person did wrong. If you can say to a friend, “I got my feelings hurt.” rather than “You hurt my feelings.” you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for what they are: small hurdles (栏杆) you need to jump or get through on your way through life.
