A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by a colonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and an American naturalist.At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an army officer. The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are, arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the officer says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has."The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of the hostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers to him. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor the servant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors.The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait for a snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the room but he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place—under the table.His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone. "I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred—that's five minutes —and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "…two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Four or five screams ring out as he jumps to slam shut the balcony doors."There is your proof!" the host says. "A man has just shown us real control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess, "How did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile comes across the woman's face as she replies. "Because it was lying across my foot."（1）What is the argument between the army officer and the young girl about?A.Whether women are afraid of mice.B.Whether men are calmer than women.C.Whether men are cleverer than women.D.Whether women would make suitable soldiers.（2）Why is the servant asked to put out some milk?A.To play a trick.B.To serve the guests.C.To attract the snake.D.To feed the hostess's pet.（3）Why does the scientist suggest the guests play a game?A.He doesn't want anyone to panic.B.He intends to test the officer's theory.C.He sees there was a snake in the room.D.He wants to entertain the other guests.（4）What does the author imply through the hostess's final statement?A.The army officer's opinion is wrong.B.The hostess understood the American's intention.C.The American was surprised by the snake's presence.D.The hostess has had previous experience dealing with snakes.6.Have you ever heard of a pawpaw（木瓜）? If not, do not feel bad. Most Americans do not know of the fruit, though it is native to the United States.Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods. A pawpaw is a tropical-like fruit that grows on trees found all over the eastern United States. It's also the largest fruit native to the US.It is similar to a typical mango in size. It has a dull green-colored skin, and a soft, almost-creamy orange inside. The pawpaw was not sold commercially in the past. The fruit requires a very special environment-low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it came from.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several states farmers haveorganized "pawpaw festivals" to reintroduce people to the food. At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws. There were pawpaw jams, pies, gelato（冰淇淋）and beer. Michael Judd helped organize the Maryland pawpaw festival.Farmers are trying to grow kinds of pawpaws that will be easier to ship and sell commercially. Donna and Jim Davis are pawpaw farmers in Westminster, Maryland. They said that they purchased their pawpaw trees in the 1990s and now sell the fruit at farmer's markets and online.（1）What can we know about the pawpaw according to the text?A.Its harvest season lasts long.B.It grows in Europe originally.C.It has already returned to its former position.D.It used to be well-received in North America.（2）What limited the pawpaw to being sold commercially in the past?A.It was unknown to the world.B.It's hard to grow, store and transport.C.It has similar taste with typical mangoes.D.The planters were unwilling to grow them for low profits.（3）Why do farmers hold "pawpaw festivals"?A.To show lots of delicious food to people.B.To make the pawpaw known to people again.C.To introduce people to a completely new fruit.D.To tell people the forgotten history about the fruit.（5）What is the best title for the text?A.The History of Pawpaws.B.How to Grow Pawpaws.C.The Comeback of Pawpaws.D.The Origin of Pawpaw Festival.四、七选五（本题共计 1 小题，共计5分）7. （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。

The peer activities we did with a partner gave me more belief in my ability and inspired me to do more to make my presentation the best it could possibly be.Interactions like these are what Summit Learning is all about.This style of learning brings a positive and hard-working culture that allows us to push our boundaries and keep going.It creates a sense of community since we are all working towards a similar goal.As an active boy,I have always been ahead and advanced,but in a normal classroom,there are restrictions on what I can do.With Summit Learning,I can go beyond expectations in projects or move ahead in learning new content when I’m ready.I have ownership of my work and pursue my goals.Summit Learning has showed me how much people can grow and change.It has helped me see people and myself differently.It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life,and I cannot see myself going back to a normal classroom.8．What was the author’s initial response to Summit Learning?A．He was unwilling to attend it.B．He was excited to take part in it.C．He was astonished to hear about it.D．He was unhappy to withdraw from it.9．How did the poetry project benefit the author?A．It boosted his confidence.B．It developed his sense of humor.C．It reminded him to be independent.D．It taught him how to organize activities. 10．What can be inferred about Summit Learning?A．It proves the limits of one’s abilities.B．It teaches poetry in a normal classroom.C．It transforms the traditional way of learning.D．It promotes diversity of classroom objectives. 11．How does the author find Summit Learning now?A．Demanding.B．Admirable.C．Upsetting.D．Conventional.DMouse embryos(胚胎)have been cultured(培养)on the International Space Station(ISS),marking a significant step in understanding reproduction in space.Led by Teruhiko Wakayama from the University of Yamanashi in Japan,this experiment studied the possible safety of human pregnancy(怀孕) during long space journeys,such as a trip to Mars that lasts more than six months.Wakayama emphasized the importance of this research,saying,“We are conducting research to ensure we will be able to safely have children if that time comes.”The experiment began on Earth,where early two-cell stage embryos from pregnant mice were taken out,frozen,and sent to the ISS on a SpaceX rocket.Astronauts on the ISS then warmed up and cultured the embryos for four days using devices specially designed for this task.Afterward,the embryos were kept and returned to Earth.The four-day growth period was chosen as embryos can only survive for this length outside a uterus,according to Wakayama.Upon their return,the embryos were examined to check the impact of space’s unique conditions,第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

An aged man was standing at a window. He had already sixty of the stages leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and remorse.The days of his appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads.—one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, with flowers, fruits and resounding with soft, sweet songs ; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless.He looked towards the sky and cried , “ Oh, my youth, return! Oh ,my , place me once more at the entrance to life, and I ’ll the better way!” But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away.The clock in the high church tower struck and the sound made him remember his early love for him. They had taught him and prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way. His darkened eyes were full of , and with a despairing effort , he burst o ut a cry, “Come back, my early days! Come back!”And his youth did return, for all this was only a which he had on New Year’s Night.Those who still linger on the of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years pass away and your stumble on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain, “Oh , my youth, return! Oh , give me back my early days! ”【1】A．brought B．passed C．paid D．took【2】A．youth B．age C．work D．future【3】A．happy B．serious C．dangerous D．terrible【4】A．placed B．smiled C．covered D．put【5】A．painfully B．carefully C．faithfully D．terribly【6】A．mother B．father C．sister D．brother【7】A．talk B．write C．advise D．choose【8】A．sisters’B．parents’C．teachers’D．brothers’【9】A．jobs B．talks C．tears D．clothes【10】A．story B．dream C．chance D．joke【11】A．entrance B．building C．street D．way【12】A．teeth B．hands C．heads D．feet2.Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform. Why are uniforms so in the United States?Among the arguments for uniforms, one is that in most people’s eyes they look more professional than civilian clothes. A television repairman who appears in a uniform inspires more trust than one who doesn’t. Faith in the skill of a mechanic is by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, or a barber to lose professional than stepping out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical . They save on other clothes and laundry bills. They are often more durable than civilian clothes.Primary among the arguments uniforms is their lack of individuality. While there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act , on the job at least.Uniforms also practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial cost is greater. Some uniforms are also to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.【1】A．special B．fashionable C．popular D．common【2】A．increased B．created C．reduced D．presented【3】A．popularity B．ability C．stability D．identity【4】A．benefits B．characters C．functions D．purposes【5】A．about B．with C．against D．over【6】A．honestly B．similarly C．confidently D．differently【7】A．bring up B．come up with C．result from D．give rise to【8】A．expensive B．easy C．complex D．cheap三、阅读理解1.After nearly 50 years of separation，an elderly woman has been reunited with the family that she feared was lost to her forever.Celestine Thompson left Mississippi when she was 14 years old and eventually settled in New York，where she spent more than 30 years of her life，according to WLOX 13News. After surviving a fire in 1992，Thompson was in a coma（昏迷）for two years and has since experienced memory loss. The 90-year-old found it difficult to recall details about her family.But later she remembered the name of her nephew Clarence Woodway. Then another woman who knows Thompson in Mississippi was able to track Woodway down and help reunite Thompson with her large family. “In our minds，my brother and I were talking that she wasn’t here anymore，because we hadn’t heard from her for a very long time，”Donald Davis，another one of Thompson’s nephews，told the media.“You know，we were overjoyed when we found out that we had gotten in contact with her.”A few of Thompson’s relatives visited her in New York，and then arranged a larger reunion which was held this past Saturday in Gulfport，Mississippi，the Associated Press reported.Thompson now lives in Greensboro，Alabama，with a caretaker，and，although she is yet to meet them all，she has regained quite a sizeable family of 23 nieces and nephews，64 grand nieces and nephews，66 great-grand nieces and nephews and 34 great-great-grand nieces and nephews，according to the Associated Press. 【1】What can we know about Thompson?A．She suffered memory loss and forgot everything about herself.B．She lives with a caretaker and her relatives in Alabama at present.C．She’s lost contact with her family since she left her hometownD．She had a larger reunion with her family members in Mississippi.【2】Who helped Thompson get contact with her family?A．A woman who knows her.B．People from WLOX 13 News.C．The Associated Press.D．The caretaker she's living with.【3】How many generations are there in Thompson’s large family?A．"Three.B．Four.C．Five.D．Six.【4】What can we learn from Thompson’s story?A．Great hopes make a great woman.B．Time and tide wait for no man.C．Life wonders can really take place.D．Misfortune will tell what fortune is.2.Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim(苗条) and rarely goes to the gym.In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity — or extreme overweight — among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing.【1】In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?A．They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.B．They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.C．They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.D．They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.【2】This text is mainly about the relationship between _________.A．Americans and the FrenchB．children and adultsC．fast food and overweightD．life style and obesity【3】The text is mainly developed __________.A．by contrast B．by spaceC．by process D．by classification【4】Where does this text probably come from?A．A TV interview.B．A health reportC．A food advertisement.D．A book review.3.Below is a housing guide for students going to London.University accommodation (住所)officesMany university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房东). Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organizations. The advantage of using your university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have a problem. The disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to houses all their students.Property papers: Loot and RentingLoot is an important source (来源) of information about private housing for co-renters. The offers are from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters. They also have a website: . The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains. The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies. Their website is at .Accommodation agenciesThe majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that: you will have access to a large number of accommodations.A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.NoticeboardsAround the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic.Word of mouthSome of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students. However, don’t suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source.FamilyFaced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice.【1】What is the advantage of using Loot?A．There are some good bargains.B．It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.C．It gives you personal information about other co-renters.D．Their website is designed mainly for students.【2】A good agent can help you ____.A．know more peopleB．find cheap accommodationC．get the right accommodation quicklyD．get free information about most accommodations【3】The information passed on by word of mouth is important because____.A．it is better than that found through any other sourceB．the final year students always offer better informationC．the landlords have little valuable informationD．it helps you find some of the best housing never advertised.【4】For students going to London for the first time, which of the following provides the most reliable information? A．University accommodation offices.B．Loot and RentingC．Noticeboards.D．Family4.Three Yale University professors agreed in a discussion that the automobile was what one of them called “Public Health Enemy No. 1 in this century”. Besides polluting the air and overcrowding the cities, cars are involved in more than half the disastrous a ccidents, and they contribute to heart disease “because we won’t walk anywhere any more,” said Richard Weeinaman, professor of medicine and public health.Speaking of many of those man-made dangers of the automobile, Arthur W. Galson, professor of biology, said it was possible to make a kerosene-burning turbine car that would “lessensmog by a very large factor”. But he expressed doubt whether Americans were willing to give up moving about the countryside at 90 miles per hour in a large vehicle. “America see ms wedded to the motor car—every family has to have at least two, and one has to be a convertible (敞篷汽车) with 300 horsepower,” professor Galson continued. “Is this the way of life that we choose because we treasure these values?”For professor Sears, part of the blame lies with “a society that regards profit as a supreme value, under the illusion that anything that’s technically possible is, therefore, morally justified”. Professor Sears also called the country’s dependence on its modern automobiles “terrible economics” because of the large horsepower used simply “moving one individual to work”. But he admitted that Americans have painted themselves into a corner by allowing the national economy to become so dependent on the automobile industry.“The solution,” Dr Weeinerman said, “is not finding a less dangerous fuel but a different system of inner city transportation. Because of the increasing use of cars, public transportation has been allowed to wither (衰弱) and grow worse, so that if you can’t walk to where you want to go, you have to have a car in most cities,” he declared. This, in turn, Dr Weeinerman contended, is responsible for the “arteriosclerosis (动脉硬化)” of public roads, forthe pollution of the inner city and for the middle-class movement to the suburbs.【1】The main idea of the passage is that_______.A．Americans are used to traveling by carsB．American public transportation is growing worseC．American people’s health is threatened by automobilesD．American car industry caused disastrous road accidents【2】It can be inferred from the passage that .A．Americans prefer cars to anything elseB．Americans are interested in fast automobilesC．kerosene-burning engines cause more problemsD．kerosene-burning engines are green transportation【3】 In Paragraph 3, Professor Sears implies that .A．more attention should be paid to social effectsB．technology is always good for peopleC．technology is a sword with two sidesD．US doesn’t care about the environment at all【4】According to Dr Weeinerman, the best solution is .A．to look for a fuel alternativeB．to walk to where people want to goC．to control the production of the automobileD．to improve public transportation5.There are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of us has our own ideas of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.For some people，simply being able to live their life with the least misery and sufferings is considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoys his simple life with his family in the beauty of nature, and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of him and accepted by his family and his society. On the other hand, it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own standards of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one's goals at too low a level of achievement.A wise man once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration(挫折）with his own professional success, “You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park or riding the subway downtown,” The man added, "You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like，and to which you have given your best effort. ”【1】According to the first paragraph, what is implied as basic in achieving success?A．Ability and goals.B．Goals and determination.C．Ability and environment.D．Goals and environment.【2】Some rich people consider themselves unsuccessful because______.A．they haven't reached their own standardsB．their life is busy and miserableC．they set their goals at too low a levelD．they are not rich in material possessions【3】From the last paragraph we can tell that______.A．success means achieving great goalsB．success comes from great goal settingC．success has nothing to do with the distance of your travelD．success means efforts and favorites pay off【4】The purpose of the passage is______.A．to talk about how to achieve successB．to give us a clear definition of what success isC．to state what our life goal isD．to discuss the importance of goals四、书面表达1.请结合材料，按要求用英文写作，词数不少于60。

Hiking generally doesn't require any fancy equipment or special skills, just a piece of map and a thirst for adventure. This activity can be as relaxing as you make it.Backcountry CampingWhy limit yourself to just a day hike when you can have a full weekend（or longer）adventure? Backcountry camping involves packing your tent, sleeping gear, food, and water on your back to set up camp in a remote location. If you're an experienced hiker and camper, this is an excellent way to test your survival skills and explore the wilderness.Mountain and Rock climbingUnlike long hikes through the woods, biking allows you to cover more ground and travel farther in nature. Mountain biking typically involves riding up and down steep slopes, between trees, and over rocks. If this sounds too intense or your tires aren't suited for rugged terrain, consider taking a road bike on paved trails through forest preserves or along country roads.GardeningContrary to popular belief, you don't have to travel beyond your own backyard to experience the beauty of nature every day. If your personality is less adventurous or your mobility restricted, consider planting a garden to grow your own vegetables, fruits, herbs, or flowers. There's something truly satisfying about mixing up a salad with fresh ingredients you grew yourself. One of the best parts about spending time in nature is that it doesn't have to break your budget and anyone can do it.（1）What does hiking need for hikers?A.Practical skills.B.Necessary equipment.C.A world map.D.A strong desire.（2）Where will you go to show your survival potential in the wild?A.To a backyard.B.To a far-away place.C.To a mountain.D.To a forest.（3）Which of the following can take you to travel farthest?A.Hiking.B.Backcountry Camping.C.Mountain and Road Biking.D.Gardening.（4）What is the advantage of enjoying the nature beauty in your garden?A.It's adventurous.B.It saves money.C.It's popular.D.It requires carefulness.4.Daniel was born in New Orleans, LA., in 1962, slow to walk and talk, and short. He was the tiniest in his class, but he developed a warm, outgoing nature and was popular with his peers（同龄人）. And he becameskillful at sports.Baseball gave him his earliest challenge. He was an excellent players in Little League. At graduation, the coach named Daniel the team's most valuable player.His finest hour, though, came at a school science meeting. He entered an exhibit explaining how the circulatory system works. It was traditional, especially compared to（与……相比）the modern, computerized, blinking-light models entered by other students. My wife, Sara, felt embarrassed for him.It turned out that the other kids had made their exhibits. As the judges went on their rounds, they found that these other kids couldn't answer their questions. Daniel answered every one. When the judges awarded the Albert Einstein Plague for the best exhibit, they gave it to him.By the time Daniel left for college he stood six feet tall and weighed 170 pounds. He was in superb condition, but he quit baseball for English literature. I was sorry that he would not develop his athletic talent, but proud that he had made such a satisfactory decision.One day I told Daniel that the great failing in my life had been that I didn't take a year or two off to travel when I finished college. This is the best way, to my way of thinking, to broaden oneself. Once I had married and begun working, I found that the dream of living in another culture had disappeared. Daniel thought about this. After graduation, he worked as a waiter at college, a bike messenger and a house painter. With the money he earned, he had enough to go to Paris.The night before he was to leave, I tossed in bed. I was trying to figure out something to say. Nothing came to mind. Maybe, I thought, it wasn't necessary to say anything.（1）How can we describe little Daniel?A.He was thin and tall.B.He was slow in his study.C.He was good at basketball.D.He got on well with his classmates.（2）Why was Daniel's mother upset about his exhibit?A.Because it was not to the taste of the judges.B.Because it was computerized.C.Because it was designed by his father.D.Because it was attractive.（3）What can we infer according to Paragraph 6?A.Daniel will study in Paris.B.Daniel dropped out of college.C.What the author said impressed Daniel greatly.D.Daniel worked hard to pay off the money he borrowed.5.A handful of old mobile phones lay in a grey bucket. These outdated devices, which are about to be chopped into thousands of pieces, will be given a second life as recycled e-waste. But many phones won't.According to the latest estimates, the world gets rid of approximately 50 million metric tonnes of e-waste annually. E-waste is full of dangerous materials that can cause damage to human health and the environment if not managed properly. But only 20 percent of global e-waste is recycled. The rest ends up in landfill, or burned— or is not recycled at all.And yet, Switzerland is a good example of how to deal with the growing environmental issue. The country collects and recycles roughly 75 percent of this discarded material. This is thanks to a strongvoluntary "take-back" system, where consumers can take e-waste to a recycling collection point or any electronic shop retailer. A recycling station can be found within at most 300 meters from any residential area. Everyone gets involved. Switzerland's e-waste system is unique and can't be easily copied—due to a strong recycling culture within the country.However, Switzerland faces the same global challenges as every nation. The built-in lithium ion batteries aren't easy to take out. The only way to remove these potentially dangerous components is with a bar and hammer. This poses a significant risk to those handling the goods. As such, producers need to be more transparent（信息透明的）and indicate better, where the harmful substances are, and how they can be removed.Once the battery is removed, e-waste is sorted into different component parts —metals, plastics and other materials. Roughly 70 percent of the device can be recycled. The material that cannot be recycled is used for other purposes like construction material or is burned to generate energy. Mobile phones—from a material perspective, from a value perspective, and also from an environmental impact perspective —are very important.For the past 15 years, Switzerland has been actively encouraging and supporting electrical waste disposal practices. They are happy to share their knowledge, experience, lessons learned, and they are happy if other people pick up on it.【长难句分析】1. These outdated devices, which are about to be chopped into thousands of pieces, will be given a second life as recycled e-waste.翻译：这些过时的即将被切成成千上万块的设备，将使作为回收的电子垃圾获得第二次生命。

Griffith himself oversaw the building of the outdoor theater that opened in 1930.Griffith Observatory: It's said that more people have explored the stars through the observatory's solar telescope than anywhere else on Earth. This landmark, which opened in 1935, offers great views of the heavens and the Hollywood sign.Besides the Greek Theatre and the Griffith Observatory, the park's best-known attractions, there arc camps for boys and girls, open lawns（草坪）and a lone mountain lion.Safety MeasuresSocial distancing: Like everywhere in L. A. County, all visitors are required to wear face coverings and stay at least six feet from others.Stay found: It's easy to lose your way in a place as big as Griffith Park. So use a map to plan your route. Then drop pins along your electronic course or use a GPS app such as Gaia to stay on track.Suggestions for a Tight ScheduleIf you have just one day to explore the green heart of L. A., Schreiner suggests this itinerary（行程）. Many of these sites are closed for now. To save time, go car-free and instead use ride shares, DASH shuttles, Metro trains and the new shuttle.（1）Which activity can you do in Griffith Observatory?A.Observing stars.B.Seeing mountain lions.C.Attending concerts.D.Watching Hollywood films.（2）What is a must for keeping safe in the Griffith Park?A.A telescope.B.A face covering.C.A GPS app.D.A pin.（3）How are visitors with limited time advised to travel?A.Driving private cars.B.Travelling on foot.C.Riding bicycles.ing public transport.4.Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.I walked to the door and knocked, "Just a minute," answered a weak, elderly voice.After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It's nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.""Oh, you're such a good man." She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?""It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly."Oh, I'm in no hurry," she said. "I'm on my way to a hospice（临终医院）. I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long."I quietly reached over and shut off the meter（计价器）.For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.At dawn, she suddenly said, "I'm tired. Let's go now."We drove in silence to the address she had given me."How much do I owe you?" she asked."Nothing." I said."You have to make a living," she answered. "Oh, there are other passengers," I answered.Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, "You gave an old woman a little moment of joy."（1）The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ________.A.show she was familiar with the cityB.see some places for the last timeC.let the driver earn more moneyD.reach the destination on time（2）The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he ________.A.wanted to do her a favorB.shut off the meter by mistakeC.had received her payment in advanceD.was in a hurry to take other passengers（3）What can we learn from the story?A.Giving is always a pleasure.B.People should respect each other.C.An act of kindness can bring people great joy.D.People should learn to appreciate others' concern.5.A machine that takes sweat-laden（浸满汗水的）clothes and turns the sweat into drinking water is in use in Sweden. The machine makes the clothes turn round quickly, heats them to remove the sweat, and then passes the steam through a kind of special material to make purified water.Since it was brought into use for the first time, its creators say more than 1,000 people have drunk others' "sweat" in Gothenburg. They add that the liquid is cleaner than local tap water.The machine was built for the United Nations' child-focused charity UNICEF to promote a campaign highlighting the fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water.The machine was designed and built by engineer Andreas Hammar, known locally for his appearances on TV tech show Mekatronik. He said the key part of the sweat machine was anew water purification part developed by a company named HVR, which worked with Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology."It uses a technique called membrane distillation（膜蒸馏）," he told the BBC. "We use a special kind of material that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clothing fibres and other things out. They have something similar on the International Space Station, but our machine was cheaper to build. However, one thing we are not satisfied with our machine is that the amount of water it produces depends on how sweaty the person is, but one person's T-shirt typically produces 10 ml, only about a mouthful."The machine has been put on show at the Gothia Cup—the world's largest international youth football tournament. Mattias Ronge, chief executive of Stockholm-based advertising agency Deportivo, said the machine had helped raise awareness for UNIEF, but in reality had its limitations."People haven't produced as much sweat as we hoped—right now the weather in Gothenburg is so bad," Mattias Ronge said.

One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.I walked to the door and knocked, "Just a minute," answered a weak, elderly voice.After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It's nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.""Oh, you're such a good man." She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?""It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly."Oh, I'm in no hurry," she said. "I'm on my way to a hospice（临终医院）. I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long."I quietly reached over and shut off the meter（计价器）.For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.At dawn, she suddenly said, "I'm tired. Let's go now."We drove in silence to the address she had given me."How much do I owe you?" she asked."Nothing." I said."You have to make a living," she answered. "Oh, there are other passengers," I answered.Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, "You gave an old woman a little moment of joy."（1）The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ________.A.show she was familiar with the cityB.see some places for the last timeC.let the driver earn more moneyD.reach the destination on time（2）The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he ________.A.wanted to do her a favorB.shut off the meter by mistakeC.had received her payment in advanceD.was in a hurry to take other passengers（3）What can we learn from the story?A.Giving is always a pleasure.B.People should respect each other.C.An act of kindness can bring people great joy.D.People should learn to appreciate others' concern.5.A machine that takes sweat-laden（浸满汗水的）clothes and turns the sweat into drinking water is in use in Sweden. The machine makes the clothes turn round quickly, heats them to remove the sweat, and then passes the steam through a kind of special material to make purified water.Since it was brought into use for the first time, its creators say more than 1,000 people have drunk others' "sweat" in Gothenburg. They add that the liquid is cleaner than local tap water.The machine was built for the United Nations' child-focused charity UNICEF to promote a campaign highlighting the fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water.The machine was designed and built by engineer Andreas Hammar, known locally for his appearances on TV tech show Mekatronik. He said the key part of the sweat machine was anew water purification part developed by a company named HVR, which worked with Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology."It uses a technique called membrane distillation（膜蒸馏）," he told the BBC. "We use a special kind of material that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clothing fibres and other things out. They have something similar on the International Space Station, but our machine was cheaper to build. However, one thing we are not satisfied with our machine is that the amount of water it produces depends on how sweaty the person is, but one person's T-shirt typically produces 10 ml, only about a mouthful."The machine has been put on show at the Gothia Cup—the world's largest international youth football tournament. Mattias Ronge, chief executive of Stockholm-based advertising agency Deportivo, said the machine had helped raise awareness for UNIEF, but in reality had its limitations."People haven't produced as much sweat as we hoped—right now the weather in Gothenburg is so bad," Mattias Ronge said. "So we've equipped the machine with exercise bikes and volunteers are cycling like crazy. Even so, the demand for sweat is much greater than the supply. And the machine will never be produced in large numbers, since there are better solutions out there such as water purifying pills."（1）What does the text manly tell us?A.A better solution to purifying dirty water.B.A machine which turns sweat into drinking water.C.The serious shortage of clean water the world is faced with.D.The advantages of a new invention over water purifying pills.（2）Why is UNICEF mentioned in the text?A.To show how the machine works.B.To tell us who invented the machine.C.To show the importance of the United Nations.D.To explain why the machine was invented.（3）What is the machine's disadvantage according to its inventor?A.It costs a large amount of money to build.B.The water produced by it isn't clean enough.C.The amount of water it produces is rather small.D.It needs too much time to turn sweat into drinking water.（4）What does Mattias Ronge think of the machine?A.It does not work at all.B.It is not worth popularizing.C.It can only be used in summer.D.The water it produces tastes sweet.6.Of all the animals on Earth, none are so driven to explore as humans. Other animals will go in search of food or water. But humans can be encouraged by the possibility of discovery. So what is it that caused us to spread out across the world 60,000 years ago, instead of just staying in Africa?Perhaps it's in our DNA. In 1999, Dr. Chuansheng Chen led a team of scientists who were studying a gene（基因）known as DRD4-TR. This gene is found in about 20% of all humans. It's been connected with higher rates（比例）of risk-taking, exploration, and interest in new ideas. Dr. Chen found that DRD4-TR is more common in societies that move around a lot than those who don't. For example, studies in Africa show that the gene is much more common in nomadic tribes（游牧的部落）than in tribes that prefer to stay in one place. Several other researchers have studied this topic and found additional evidence to support Dr. Chen's research.But can a single gene be a drive for something as complex as the need to explore? Dr. Kenneth Kidd doesn't think so. He thinks DRD4-TR might increase curiosity（好奇心）, but other important sets of genes also give us great minds and skilled hands. He believes that not just one gene, but groups of genes work together to create complex behaviors like exploration.The context（环境）we live in also plays a role in our need to explore. For example, during the European Age of Exploration, explorers became rich and famous for their discoveries. This drove others to try to increase their wealth through exploration. In this case, their exploration was more likely driven by money than by genes.Maybe the need to explore comes from something inside us, such as the DRD4-TR gene. Or maybe it has more to do with what's happening in the world around us. Maybe it's both. Whatever the reason, it seems we（or at least some of us）will keep exploring the mountains, the sea, the stars, and beyond, because that's just what humans do.【长难句分析】1. For example, studies in Africa show that the gene is much more common in nomadic tribes（游牧的部落）than in tribes that prefer to stay in one place.翻译：例如，在非洲进行的研究表明，这种基因在游牧部落中比在喜欢呆在一个地方的部落中更常翻译：见。
