What were you doing when you were nine years old? Making crafts from a Klutz book? Kicking around a soccer ball? Designing a business plan to deal with plastic pollution and relieve childhood poverty? Zymal Umar shoved us the latter. The Pakistan's youngest businesswoman has started a project entitled Zee Bugs, which aims to reduce plastic pollution by providing an environmentally-friendly alternative to plastic grocery bags.When Zymal was on a shopping trip with her parents three years ago, she was shocked by the number of plastic bags on the streets. Depressed by the plastic pollution, she was reminded of the severe consequences our habits have on the environment. Then, she noticed a shopkeeper handing out newspaper bags. And at that moment, Zymal knew she had to act. Since then she has created beautiful, unique reusable newspaper bags for hundreds of customers.It's amazing to see this youngster using her brains and business skills for good. And she should certainly feel proud of the work she is doing. After all, plastic grocery bags are killing thousands of marine animals every year through their contribution to plastic waste According to The Earth Institute, over one trillion plastic bags are used worldwide annually—that's about two million bags used per minute around the world.And those bags certainly don't disappear into thin air. Instead, they end up in our oceans, putting approximately 700 marine species in danger of extinction due to the threat from pollution. And plastic bags are just one of the many forms of plastic trash that ends up in the oceans—in fact, an astonishing 8.8 million tons of this material make their way from land to the oceans every single year.But with Zee Bags, we're all empowered to make more thoughtful choices about our trash production. And Zymal's amazingness doesn't stop there—the profits from her sales go towards helping poor children.1. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．How Zymal felt about her shopping trip.B．How Zymal learned about plastic pollution.C．How Zymal was received by the shopkeeper.D．How Zymal was inspired to create her bags.2. Why are figures mentioned in the third and fourth paragraphs?A．To praise Zymal for her great efforts.B．To urge readers to stop using plastics.C．To stress the seriousness of plastic pollution.D．To show the rich knowledge of the author.3. What can we infer about Zymal from the last paragraph?A．She is amazing in every aspect of her life.B．She has concern for the disadvantaged.C．She urges everyone to be eco-friendly.D．She earns a lot of money from her business.4. Which of the following best describes Zymal?A．Caring. B．Determined.C．Confident. D．Selfless.3. When Edgar Allan Poe, the 19th century American writer best known today for his horror stories, first introduced the world to his fictional detective C. Auguste Dupin, he hit on a winning formula.Dupin was Sherlock Holmes before Sherlock Holmes, a genius detective who first appeared in the story of “The Murders in the Rue Morgue”. Though the roots of the detective story go as far back as Shakespeare, Poe's tales of rational crime-solving created a unique type. His stories mix crime with a detective narrative, inviting readers to try to solve the puzzle too.The key figure in such a story, then, is the detective. Poe's detective, Dupin is a gentleman of leisure who keeps himself occupied by using “analysis” to help the real police solve cr imes. The real police are, of course, absolutely incompetent, like Inspector Lestrade and Scotland Yard are to Holmes. Like Holmes, he smokes a pipe and is unnaturally smart and rational, a kind of superhero who uses powers of thinking to accomplish great tasks of crime-solving.“The elements Poe invented, such as the socially-awkward genius detective, his 'ordinary' helper, the impossible crime, the incompetent police force, the locked room mystery, etc. , have become firmly fixed in most mystery novels of today,” says English professor Karen 'Tan.Poe's formula appealed in the 19th century because detective stories promised that reasoning could hold the answer to every question. At the same time, with mysterious overtones, they appealed to19th-century readers' addiction to the mystical.The detective story, writes book critic William Mullins, was particularly appealing because it promised that “intellect will win out, the criminal will be caught by the rational detective, science will track down the evil-d oer and allow honest people to sleep at night.” At the same time, MacIntyre writes. 19Ih-century anxieties about the Industrial Revolution and new ways of living supported the idea that evil was everywhere. These two instincts —“people's increasing faith in reason and mistrust of appearance”- are what made 19th century readers love detective stories, a love that endures today.1. What do we learn about Poe's fictional detective stories?A．They created a new style of detective story telling.B．They eventually became Poe's most famous stories.C．The main character was inspired by the Sherlock Holmes.D．Dupin was the first detective to appear in a fictional story.2. What is Dupin's major strength as a detective?A．His experience. B．His determination.C．His fearlessness. D．His intelligence3. What can we infer about the Dupin and Sherlock Holmes stories?A．They are both set in England. B．They get readers to think and find.C．Both of the assistants are incompetent. D．Both of their detectives are very sociable.4. What made detective stories popular according to William Mullins?A．Readers' growing interest in the mysterious plot.B．People’s concern about the increasing level of crime.C．The public's confidence in the power of rational thought.D．Economic insecurity resulting from the Industrial Revolution.4. The rapid growth in skyscrapers worldwide has led to a high demand for window washers since most of these buildings feature large glass panes (窗格) to highlight their breathtaking views.Though the job offers a handsome salary, dangling alongside multi-story structures is dangerous, and accidents are not uncommon. However, if Israel-based company Skyline Technologieshas its way, the dangerous chore may soon be taken care of by Ozmo, an intelligent window cleaning robot. "As a society, we've become too comfortable watching people hanging off the sides of 30-story buildings," says Yaron Schwarez, co-founder and CEO of Skyline Robotics. "No salary could justify allowing people to put their lives in the hands of a system of ropes."Much like humans, Ozmo is placed on platforms suspended from the buildings and uses its arms and brushes to clean the dirt on the glass panes. A 3D map of the building's surface programmed into its system allows the robot to skillfully handle obstacles as it moves up and down the structure. Computer vision and touch sensors enable it to move out of the way in case of unexpected events, such as the sudden opening of a window.Unlike current window washers, the robot cleaner does not require soap to clean the glass. Instead, it uses distilled water (蒸馏水) and a process called dirt absorption to do the job. Schwarez explains, "We use pure water to absorb and remove the salts, the minerals, the oils, and the dirt from the building. We are environmentally-friendly."Ozmo is also expected to be much more efficient than humans. While it currently takes three cleaners 480 hours each to clean the windows of a 40-story glass building, the robot will single-handedly complete the task in just 80 hours. However, unlike other robots, Ozmo will not replace human workers. It will only make their jobs safer by lifting them to the role of supervisors, who will be remotely controlling the operation from below.Whether Ozmo, which is still undergoing testing, does as good a job as human remains to be seen.1. Which of the following can best replace the phrase "has its way" in paragraph 2?A．Succeeds. B．Hesitates.C．Struggles. D．Exists.2. What can we learn about Ozmo from the passage?A．It requires chemicals to clean.B．It has trouble crossing obstacles.C．It operates with great efficiency.D．It works without human helpers.3. What is the author's attitude towards the future application of Ozmo?A．Optimistic.B．DoubtfulC．Unconceded.D．Objective.4. What is the best title for the text?A．Ozmo: a Double-edged Sword.B．Ozmo: a Smart Window Cleaner.C．Window Washing: a Dangerous Job.D．Window Washing: a Blessing in Disguise.5. Smartwatches and fitness trackers (健身追踪器) have gained popularity recently. These tools can record your daily steps, heart rates, etc. 1 If yes, it might be a sign that you’re addicted to your fitness tracker.2 If you keep setting unrealistic daily goals that include doing exercise for too long, and if you begin to ignore friends and responsibilities to make time for your exercise, then you’re most probably addicted to your fitness tracker.It’s difficult to overcome the addiction to fitness trackers. 3 For example, the number in your smart watch showin g how far you’ve come can give you a sense of achievement.Of course, failing to meet your daily goal can be sad. You might focus on your weaknesses rather than your progress. Another problem is that you might find yourself paying too much attention to the step number rather than how your body feels. 4Therefore, if you’re spending too much time looking at your smartwatch, limit your daily step count to a comfortable level. 5 For example, concentrating on your hobbies or socializing with friends can be a great way to keep your mind on other things.6.

A篇Foods to Eat to Burn More CaloriesWATERMELONWatermelon is brimming with B vitamins which boost your energy levels and curb your need to munch on an extra snack. A cup of diced watermelon contains 46 calories and virtually no fat. Watermelon is a rich source of potassium, dietary fiber, protein, vitamin A, magnesium, vitamin C, and iron.Watermelon is one of powerful foods to eat to burn more calories. Watermelon is also high in lycopene, the antioxidant that lower your risk of macular degeneration, heart disease, and cancer. With 90 percent water, watermelon is filling you up but are not filling you out. Enjoy fresh watermelon juice, smoothie, or use it any summer fruit salad you like.GRAPEFRUITGrapefruits speed up your metabolism and help burn a lot of calories. This fruit will help feel full faster and longer. According to the U. S. Department of Agriculture National Nutrient Database one half of a grapefruit contains around 53 calories. Moreover, grapefruit is rich in fiber that may help stabilize your blood glucose levels. You can add grapefruit to your fruit salad, smoothies or drink a grapefruit juice.CELERYThe secret of celery is very simple：it contains less calories and helps burn more than you eat. Celery mostly consists of water and that's why it is good as a part of a balanced dietHowever, this food is not suitable for celery diet only as your body won't get the necessary minerals and nutrients. So the best decision will be to combine it with some other foods.WHOLE GRAINSStudies show that whole grains are healthier than refined grains and that they lower the risk of getting a chronic disease. This type of grains is also a good part of a diet as it takes more time to digest and you won't get hungry for a longer period of time. Whole grains are rich in various vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates but low in fat.GREEN TEARich in antioxidants green tea boosts your metabolism and helps lose weight, which is just fantastic for ladies, isn't it? Simply enjoy a cup of hot fragrant green tea and do a great favor to your body.1. To balance blood glucose levels, you'd better take in regularly.A. green teaB. whole grainsC. watermelonD. grapefruit2. From the passage we can know that _______.A. grapefruit contains more calories than watermelon.B. whole grains are healthier because they contain more water and various minerals.C. both grapefruit and green tea can help speed up metabolism for those who are eager to lose weight.D. having celery diet before a cup of green tea can help get enough nutrients to lose weight.3. Which column can we read this passage in the newspaper?A. Book ReviewB. HealthC. EntertainmentD. Learning KitB篇Recently, a group of scientists decided to find out what the funniest joke in the world was. This was obviously a difficult task, as no two people really agree about what is funny and what is not—especially when they are from different countries.Here is the joke which the experts decided was the funniest joke in the world：Two hunters were out in the woods. One of them fell to the ground. He didn’t seem to be br eathing; his eyes were closed. The other hunter took out his mobile phone and called the emergency services.“My friend is dead!” he cried to the operator. “What can I do？”The operator said，“Don’t worry. First, make sure he’s dead.” There was a silence, and then a shot was heard. Bang! The hunter’s voice came back on the line. He said, “OK, now what?”This is perhaps amusing. Culturally, it depends on us knowing that often hunters are not considered to be veryintelligent people, and that often they are qui te violent. But perhaps this is not so all over the world. It’s also quite a “black” joke—a joke about something which isn’t really a funny subject. The experts also found the second funniest joke in the world. Here it is：Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. After dinner, they went to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes woke up. “Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.” “I see millions of stars, Holmes,” replied Watson.“And what do you infer from that? ”“Well, there are billions of stars ... we are a small part of the universe ...”“Watson, you idiot!” he said. “Someone has stolen our tent!” I personally think this is better.Can scientists in the end decide what is funny? Some things are much too complicated, even for scientists.4. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Few jokes can make scientists laugh.B. Only scientists can find out the funniest joke.C. There are different jokes in different countries.D. People hold different opinions about what is funny.5. What does the author think of the first joke?A. It is not so funny as the experts thought.B. It is really the funniest joke he has ever heard.C. It can greatly affect readers’ attitudes toward hunters.D. It shows that not all hunters are brave and intelligent.6. We can learn that a person’s understanding of a joke can be affected by.A. the reader’s feelingB. the length of the jokeC. the reader’s cultural backgroundD. the language that the teller uses7. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Uninteresting jokesB. Different kinds of jokesC. The funniest jokes in the worldD. Tips on how to make others laughC篇You’ve likely noticed them by now. School buses are back on the street packed with students. Many of thosekids step off the buses with a potential health danger over their shoulder — a backpack filled with homework.My family and I never talked about school as the ticket to a future. I was in the classrooms, but I wasn’t there to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read, I wanted to hide. I was 13 years old, but I already hated being who I was.I had an English teacher, Mr. Creech, who knew I couldn’t read. In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up. I felt so embarrassed. But at the same time, it made me realize that I needed to change the situation. I was determined it wouldn’t happen again. Later that day, Mr. Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read. From then on, I never gave up practicing reading.Now I was 41 years old. One day, I planned to fly back to Texas to visit my friends and family. On my way from the airport, I saw Mr. Creech buying himself a drink. I rushed over and reached into my pocket to pay for him. “Do I know you?” he asked. “Yes, sir, you do know me,” I answered excitedly. “My name is Anthony Hamilton. You taught me English.” The look on his face told me that he remembered the boy he’d once encouraged.“I’m so glad I had a chance to see you,” I said. “And Mr. Creech, I have great news to share.” I told him I had learned to read. But that wasn’t all. I had become a published author and an active speaker. “The next time you get another Anthony Hamilton in your c lassroom, please encourage him to read as well,” I added.The experts say what once worried me has a name: dyslexia (诵读困难症). But I can tell you it was a lack of desire for education.8. Why did the author want to hide?A. Because he felt sorry for himself.B. Because he hated being laughed at.C. Because he couldn’t read at all.D. Because he didn’t have a ticket.9. Which of the following could best describe Mr. Creech?A. Considerate and dutiful.B. Demanding and enthusiastic.C. Emotional and dedicated.D. Friendly and ambitious.10. Why couldn’t the author read before meeting Mr.Creech?A. Because his reading age was not long enough.B. Because his parents didn’t teach him how to read.C. Because he was afraid of reading before the class.D. Because he didn’t have inner driving force to learn to read.11. What can we infer from the passage?A. Mr. Creech taught two students called Anthony Hamilton.B. The author had become a published author and an active speaker.C. Dyslexia was the underlying reason that made the author unable to read.D. The author was grateful to Mr. Creech.D篇The invention of steel frames in the late 1800s meant that the walls did not carry the weight of a structure. This development meant that suddenly much taller buildings were possible, and they could be built quickly. Skyscrapers had been born, and they were about to change the face of our cities.Since 1901 the world’s tallest building had always been a skyscraper and until 1974 this was always in New York. Only after the end of the century did the tallest building appear outside North America, with the opening of the first building to be more than half a kilometer tall, Taipei 101.Tall building are seen as a symbol of success and status by many but they are not always popular with local residents. The construction of the Shard, the tallest building in London and in the entire European Union, has been highly controver-sial. It is only a few hundred meters across the River Thames from the Tower of London--one of the oldest and most famous landmarks in London.Many feel that such modern constructions should not be built near to historic sites.London residents should hope that the opening of the Shard doesn’t lead to a major downtown in their economy. The Empire State Building was finished in 1931, very soon after Wall Street crashed. The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur were built in 1988, just after the Asian financial crisis. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai was opened in early 2010, and shortly afterwards the emirate’s（酋长国的）investment company collapsed.The Burj Khalifa might be the tallest structure in the world currently but its status is under threat from numerous planned buildings around the world. One tower which will probably never be built is the 4km highX-Seed 4000 in Tokyo.It was designed in 1995 to attract publicity rather than as a serious proposal, but who knows when such fanciful ideas could become a reality? The Burj Khalifa is more that double the height of the Empire State Building, and surely no one in 1931 would have imagined that.12. What make the building of skyscrapers possible?A. The using of the steel frames.B. The improvement of the wall material.C. The changing of the city face.D. 'The increase of the building height.13. What is most Londoners' attitude towards the construction of the Shard?A. Supportive.B. Uncooperative.C. Acceptable.D. Critical.14. How is paragraph 4 developed?A. By analyzing possible reasons.B. By stating general characters.C. By providing typical examples.D. By listing practical proposals.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Skyscrapers: symbol of successB. Skyscrapers: ideal buildingsC. The sky's fanciful ideas and realityD. The sky's the limit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。
