Module 4 Sandstorms in AsiaⅠ.阅读理解A(2020·河南省八市重点高中联盟高三上期“领军考试”试题)One young lady is being praised for perfect manners for an apology note she wrote to the National Park, after she reportedly took a rock home as a souvenir (纪念品). In expressing her regret, the girl also returned the stolen rock to the park and even gave a donation.On Aug. 17, the National Park shared the tale of the note to their Facebook page, where it has since been liked over 5,200 times, and shared about 700.“Dear Park Ranger (护林员), Deep Creek was awesome! I especially liked Tom Branch Falls，” the youngster, named Karina, began her letter, “I loved it so much. I wanted to have a souvenir to come home with me.”“So I took a rock. I'm sorry, and I want to return it，” she said. “Also, here's a donation！”Lucky for Karina, the park rangers were moved by her sincere apologies for the petty theft, and even wrote back.“Dear Karina, Thank you so much for returning the rock! It has made its way back to Tom Branch Falls. We are so glad you enjoyed your visit，” the park officials wrote in their Facebook post.“Already, you are becoming an amazing steward for the park. Thank you for recognizing that what is in the park should stay in the park. If every visitor took a rock home, that would mean 11 million rocks would be gone from the park every year！” they shared.The park rangers went on to explain the importance of rocks in the Natural Park as homes for “hundreds” of creatures, including salamanders.“Now that you know to leave nature the way you find it, we hope you will help share this message with others，” the officials concluded, “It is always a good thing to give another the chance to discover！”篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个女孩在自然公园拿了一块石头又幡然悔悟，她归还了石头，写了道歉信， 而且还捐了款。这样“诚实的小偷”，会被原谅吗？1．Why did the young lady take the rock home from the natural park?A．Because it's valuable.B．Because she liked Tom Branch Falls and wanted to have a souvenir.C．Because it looks nice.D．Because Deep Creek was so awesome that she wanted to have a souvenir.答案：B　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“I especially liked Tom Branch Falls”和“I loved it so much, I wanted to have a souvenir to come home with me.”可知正确答案为B。2．Besides writing an apology note, what did the girl do?A．Return the stone and give a donation.B．Become a steward for the park.C．Share the note to her Facebook page.      D．Take the stone back to Tom Branch Falls.答案：A　细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句中的“the girl also returned the stolen rock to the park and even gave a donation.”可知正确答案为 A。3．From this passage, we can learn that ________.A．not all the visitors can take a rock from the natural parkB．the salamanders are a kind of rare plantsC．when we go to the natural park, we should leave nature the way we find itD．it's always a good thing to share messages with others答案：C　推理判断题。A项的意思是并非所有的参观者都可以从自然公园带走石头，观点错误；根据文章倒数第二段中“... ‘hundreds’ of creatures, including salamanders”，可知salamanders (蝾螈)是动物，B项错误；D项语义过于笼统，文章的原意为与他人分享保护自然的信息是好的。故选C。4．What's the best title of this passage?A．A Pretty ThiefB．A Rock from the Natural ParkC．A Girl Who Have Perfect Manners      D．An Apology Note答案：D　标题判断题。文章从一封道歉信开始，然后这封道歉信被分享在网上，最后护林员回信，都说明这篇文章是围绕道歉信展开的，所以最佳标题为D。B(2020·安徽六校教育研究会高三第一次素质测试)Breathing dirty air comes at a high price. Air pollution lowers the average life spans (寿命) by a year worldwide and in more polluted parts of Asia and Africa, dirty air shortens lives up to twice that much. Scientists shared their new findings in Environmental Science & Technology Letters. The study used data gathered in 2016 as part of a project known as the Global Burden of Disease and was the first major country­by­country look at the connection between the length of life and what's known as fine PM.Air pollution has been linked to many health problems. Most earlier studies had looked at how tiny air pollutants affected rates of illness or death. Joshua Apte is an environmental scientist at the University of Texas at Austin. By looking at life expectancy (预期寿命), his team had hoped to make the threat easier to understand. PM2.5 is what scientists call tiny particles (颗粒) of pollution in the air. Higher levels of PM2.5 can cause health problems and cut months, if not years, from the average length of life. This analysis shows how pollution affects life expectancy in different parts of the world.The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting PM2.5 to 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air. Apte's group calculated how holding pollution to this low level would help people. In countries with very dirty air, meeting this standard would lengthen people's lives. However, in countries whose air already meets this standard, the study shows no gain in life expectancy. In other words, meeting the WHO standard won't reduce health costs resulting from dirty air because even below 10 micrograms per cubic meter, pollution still causes serious risks. Meanwhile, the scientists compared how other threats including smoking and cancer shorten the length of life across the globe.篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新发现，同时，该研究分析了不同国家居民的寿命与PM之间的关系。5．What is special about the study?A．It won recognition from a professional journal.B．It discussed health problems caused by air pollution.C．It gathered lots of data for the Global Burden of Disease.D．It analyzed the link between life spans and PM by country.答案：D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The study used data gathered in 2016 as part of a project known as the Global Burden of Disease and was the first major country­by­country look at the connection between the length of life and what's known as fine PM.”可知，研究的特殊之处是该研究分析了不同国家居民的寿命与PM之间的关系。故选D。6．What is Joshua Apte's team trying to do?A．Help people better understand air pollution.B．Study life expectancy in different countries.C．Know how small air pollutants affect health.D．Deal with different kinds of health problems.答案：A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Joshua Apte is an environmental scientist at the University of Texas at Austin. By looking at life expectancy (预期寿命), his team had hoped to make the threat easier to understand.”可知，通过观察预期寿命，他的团队希望能让这种威胁更容易理解，帮助人们更好地了解空气污染。故选A。7．What will happen if a country limits PM2.5 to 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air?A．People's life spans will surely increase. B．It will get strong support from the WHO.C．People's health may not be much improved. D．It will guarantee people clean air.答案：C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In other words, meeting the WHO standard won't reduce health costs resulting from dirty air because even below 10 micrograms per cubic meter, pollution still causes serious risks.”可知，如果一个国家将PM2.5浓度限制在每立方米10微克，人们的健康状况可能不会有太大改善。故选C。8．What might be discussed in the following paragraphs?A．How cleaning up the air can lengthen lives.B．How air pollution shortens lives by country.C．How other threats shorten life expectancy.D．How all the countries deal with severe pollution.答案：C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Meanwhile, the scientists compared how other threats including smoking and cancer shorten the length of life across the globe.”可推知，接下来要讨论的是“吸烟和癌症等其他威胁如何缩短预期寿命”。故选C。Ⅱ.七选五(2019·石家庄市重点高中高三毕业班摸底考试)As new car prices continue to climb, you can find reliable  but cheap used cars for sale.  Many are readily available online, but car lots and local auto auctions (拍卖) also provide excellent sources for inexpensive vehicles.

Private sellers may offer considerably lower prices for their cars than a dealer and be more receptive to negotiation.  You will find dealer lists on these sites as well.Visit local auctionsThough many car auctions take place online, you still can find a cheap used car at a specialized auto auction. These auctions, available in many bigger cities, are the same ones where local dealers purchase cars for sale. __2__， so check with your local auto auction center to confirm.__3__Many organizations that manage a fleet of vehicles sell their used cars when they remove them from active service. Car rental companies frequently sell late model, relatively low mileage former rental cars for well below the price a dealer would charge for a similar vehicle. For a very cheap used car, consider buying retired police cars and government surplus vehicles. __4__.Be prepared to negotiate__5__， you likely will have the opportunity to negotiate for a lower sales price. When negotiating with a dealer, according to the financial magazine Forbes, you may be able to get the lowest possible price on the last day of the month, a day with poor weather, or late at night on the weekend.

On the one hand, without classifying, some waste will remain where they were placed for a long time.  As a result, it will pollute the earth. On the other hand, waste is just the misplaced resources. We can recycle waste by classifying it and making full use of some leftovers.Thus, garbage classification is meaningful to us. We can do it just now.  For example, we can collect plastic bottles and sell them to the waste shop and throw used batteries into the correct dustbin.
