第二部分  阅读理解 (共两节，满分30分)

第一节  (共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Now that nobody knows for sure what the world will look like in the near future, it can be fun to picture some jobs we might be able to apply for in the coming decade!
     Distant drone （无人驾驶飞机）drivers and pilots
      How cool would it be to deliver packages from the comfortable office? That’s the way of the future with delivery drones and self-driving trucks. Zach Howard says, “Many delivery companies will soon need lots of drones and a large number of skilled pilots who can run the drones.”
     Rewilders
     To save Mother Nature, someone will need to remove the damage humans have done to the environment. Through the Jobs of 2030 project, an organization guesses we will need rewilders to remove the damage to the countryside caused by people, factories, cars and farming. These workers will be responsible for removing walls to give flight paths back to birds and replacing roads with forests.

Gamification （游戏化）marketing experts

This future expert will need to make online shopping feel like a game; that is, gamification is about keeping customers more delighted during shopping. The gamification marketing expert will help keep online buyers’ attention by making their experiences more playful and exciting.

11. According to Zach Howard, distant drone drivers and pilots ______

A. can earn lots of money.
  B. are required to work outdoors.
  C. need update drones regularly.
  D. will be in great need.

12. To remove the damage caused by humans, a rewilder’s job will be ______

A. keeping track of birds’ health.

B. returning the roads to forests.

C. constructing more roads for villagers.
D. preserving the cultural heritage.

13. How will the gamification marketing expert most likely influence customers?

A. By creating fun online shopping experiences.
  B. By reducing the competition between stores.
  C. By decreasing their daily cost of playing games.
  D. By making them more likely to communicate.

B

Most people have no idea what to do with their old drugs. Unused or expired (到期的) medicines lying around at home can get into the wrong hands, leading to accidental poisoning or drug overdose. When drugs are flushed or sent to landfill, the medicines can pollute our groundwater, rivers, and streams, threatening human and sea life.

In an effort to find a solution for drugs kept in medicine boxes or waterways, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration launched its first National Take-Back Day in September 2010. In the drug take-back program, the returned drugs are sent to medical waste incinerators (焚烧炉). However, the process of transporting and burning such waste can give off greenhouse gas emissions that could be potentially greater than those generated if the drugs were poured into landfills.

“But take-back programs are preferred as they reduce the risk of drug misuse and the incineration effectively prevents the entrance of these medicines into our nation’s waters,” says Tim Carroll, a spokesperson for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Perhaps surprisingly, not all unused medicines need to be thrown away. Every year five billion dollars’ worth of unexpired medicines end up being deserted in the U.S. “We’re wasting a lot of medicines which are already paid for,” says Anandi Law, a patient engagement specialist. “Millions of U.S. adults skip or delay getting their prescriptions (处方) filled due to high costs. We could give them to somebody else who needs it.” That may be why at least 40 states have passed law establishing drug donation programs that allow drug manufacturers, medical and long-term care facilities, and sometimes individuals to donate their unused drugs. For example, since its start in 2007, Iowa’s program, SafeNetRx, has served more than 117,000 patients and redistributed nearly 54-million-dollar worth of medicines and supplies.

 “All of these efforts are still relatively new,” Carroll says. “We still have a long way to go until households change their habits.”

14. What is the disadvantage of the U.S. drug take-back program?

 A. It costs large amounts of money.

 B. It increases the greenhouse effect.

 C. It can produce poisonous chemicals.

 D. It wastes lots of energy to deal with old drugs.

15. What is Tim Carroll’s attitude towards the take-back program?

A. Doubtful.     B. Uninterested.      C. Positive.       D. Negative.

16. What is Anandi Law’s suggestion about unused and unexpired medicines?

A. Sending them to landfills.

B. Selling them at a low price.

   C. Donating them to someone in need.

D. Developing technologies to recycle them.

C

The coronavirus pandemic（新冠疫情）has brought with it the rise of a new kind of single-use plastic in the form of personal protective equipment (PPE), like face masks and gloves. Experts warned that these sharply increasing single-use items could cause a new wave of plastic pollution and kill wildlife.

The charity Ocean Conservancy reported that volunteers had collected more than 100,000 PPE items from coasts and waterways during the last six months of 2020. They sent out a survey to more than 200 International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) coordinators and volunteers asking about their experience with PPE. The results show that it is a real problem. Volunteers collected 107,219 pieces of PPE in 70 of 115 participating countries. Of those surveyed, 94% reported seeing PPE at a clean-up, and 40% found five items or more. Further, 37% found the items had already sunk into the water.  

“During one of our clean-ups in the canals of Leiden, our volunteers found a latex（乳胶）glove with a dead fish trapped in the thumb,” said Auke-Florian Hiemstra, a study coauthor from Leiden University. “Also, in the Dutch canals, we observed that a water bird was using face masks and gloves in its nests.” Other animals that have gotten trapped in face masks include a fox in the UK, a pufferfish in Florida, and two crabs in France. Numerous dogs and cats have been observed eating PPE as well.

The danger posed by PPE goes deeper than what the eye can see. Luckily, there are ways that all of us can be part of the solution to the problem of PPE pollution. Hiemstra suggested using reusable PPE instead of single-use products. In that case, we should deal with them properly by cutting the ear loops to prevent animal entanglements（缠绕物）and throwing them away in a bin that is not overstuffed. “We definitely think it is important for citizens to understand how much PPE is ending up in the environment and impacting animals,” Hiemstra said.

17. What can we infer from the numbers in paragraph 2?

A. The large amount of PPE in the environment.

B. Volunteers’ great efforts to protect the ocean.

C. The leading cause of ocean pollution.

D. Difficulties of cleaning up plastic waste in the ocean.

18. Which of the statements is TURE according to the passage?

A. PPE is attractive to dogs and cats due to its smell.

B. PPE pollution has done harm to many animals’ lives.

C. Water birds may not be influenced by plastic pollution.

D. Litter makes it hard for boats to pass through the canals.

19. Which of the solutions did Hiemstra mention to reduce PPE pollution?

A. Raising the price of PPE items.

B. Cleaning the rubbish bin regularly.

C. Replacing single-use products with reusable ones.

D. Limiting the production of non-recyclable plastic.

20. What is the passage mainly talking about?

A. The decline of wildlife due to overhunting.

B. The shortage of personal protective equipment.

C. The increasing number of coronavirus patients.

D. The plastic pollution caused by anti-pandemic products.

书面表达范文

Dear Jack,

How’s everything going? These days, I have difficulty learning English, so I’m writing to ask for some helpful advice.

Ever since attending high school, there are three major problems which trouble me a lot. To begin with, following what the teacher said in class is a big problem. In addition, with much homework to do, there isn’t enough time for me to memorize all the new words I have come across. What troubles me most is that it is extremely challenging to figure out complex grammar rules without my teacher’s help. Now I am a little bit stressed out.

I would be grateful if you could offer me a few practical suggestions on them. Looking forward to your earliest reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

M: Do you read word by word? Or if you see words you don’t know, do you always look them up in your dictionary?
