One of the problems damaging our planet is the number of things we throw away. Rubbish of all kinds is piling up in landfill and polluting our rivers and oceans. A more recent addition to the list of things we chuck away is e-waste—electronic items that are broken and not recycled. Now solutions are being found to give this stuff a new life.

Many millions of tonnes of televisions, phones, and other electronic equipment are discarded each year, partly because it’s cheaper to replace them than fix them, but also because we lack the skills to repair them. A UN report claims the 50 million tonnes of e-waste generated every year will more than double to 110 million tonnes by 2050, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the world.

However, there’s a growing trend for repair events and clubs which could be part of a solution to the growing amount of electrical and electronic junk. The BBC visited a Restart Project in London, which is one of many found around the world. One of its volunteers, Francesco Calo, said that “This project allows you to reduce waste, extend the life of objects, and it helps people who cannot afford to get rid of items that have developed a fault. ”

As many electrical items contain valuable metals, another idea is e-waste mining. An experiment at the University of New South Wales involves extracting these materials from electronic gadgets. It’s thought that doing this could be more profitable than traditional mining. With phones typically containing as many as 60 elements, this could be part of the solution to our appetite for new technology.

These projects make total sense—collections of e-waste for recycling are “stagnating or even decreasing” according to RuedigerKuehr, director of the United Nations University. And in countries where there is no legislation, much of it just gets dumped. However, the European Union, for example, is trying to tackle the problem by insisting manufacturers have to make appliances longer-lasting and will have to supply spare parts for machines for up to 10 years.

24. According to the passage,which of the following statements is right?

 A. E-waste is thrown away because it’s cheaper to find a new substitute.

 B. UN reports the number of e-waste generated will nearly double by 2050.

 C. E-waste will be reduced if more projects like Restart Project are launched .

 D. The Re-start Project can help people who have found a fault to purchase items.

25. What does the author mean by the underlined word in the last paragraph ?

 A. Ceasing.  B. increasing.     C. falling.      D. disappearing.

26. What can be the best title for the text?

 A. What is damaging our planet? B.What is significant for E-recycling? 

 C. E-waste mining benefits more. D. New lives are brought to E-waste.

27. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of the problem?

 A. He is doubtful about it.    B. He is concerned but full of confidence.

 C.He thinks it’s just a piece of cake.    D. He supposes there’s a long way to go.

C

2020 is a leap year, and as we all know leap years happen every four years, right? Wrong. That extra day in February is designed to keep the Earth in sync with the astrological or seasonal year. But, what you might not realize is that the maths isn’t that simple and occasionally we have to wait eight years.

The method behind calculating when leap years occur might be a bit more complicated than you think. Way back in 1582 the calendar we now use was first put into effect. The Gregorian calendar was named after the pope at the time, GregoryXIV. The people who created it realized it wasn’t perfect to just add an extra day every four years.

Here’s where the maths comes in. A day, of course, is measured by the amount of time it takes for the Earth to complete one full rotation(旋转) on its axis. A year is the number of days it takes the Earth to orbit the Sun, which most people assume is 365. However, the Earth actually takes just under 365 and a quarter days to complete one full revolution around the Sun.

So, every four years we get an extra day, which falls on the 29th February. However, as mentioned earlier, it is in fact just under a quarter of a day. So, by rounding it up, we put the calendar out of sync again—which means that after a while we have too many days.

That imbalance has to be readdressed, otherwise after 400 years you’d end up with three extra days. So back in 1582, they realized that every turn of a century should skip their extra day to subtract those three extra days. This is why the years 1700, 1800, and 1900 weren't leap years.

But wait, there’s more. The year 2000, the millennium, was a leap year. That’s because over a period of four hundred years we only need to remove three days.So, every 400 years the turn of the century is a leap year. This means the next time you hear someone saying “leap years happen every four years”, you can tell them why they’re wrong.

28. What can be learned from the passage?

 A. The Gregorian calendar was created by Gregory XIV.

 B. Reducing3 days every three centuries, people perfected the calendar.

 C. It takes the Earth less than 365 days to go around the Sun.

D. The calendar wouldn’t be balanced if we had a leap year every four years.

29.What is the purpose of the second paragraph ?

 A. To show the history of the oldest calendar.

 B. To introduce Gregory XIV to the readers.

 C. To present how Gregorian calendar was named.

 D. To indicate calculation of the leap year is not easy.

30. Which of the following will be a leap year ?

 A. 2100.  B. 2400. C. 2700. D. 3000.

31. In which section is the text most likely to appear?

 A. A news report.   B. A geography textbook.

 C. A science magazine.  D. An astronomy book.

D

We all know that friends are special people who we share our lives with, and who share their lives with us in return. But seeking friends and keeping the friendship going are never easy.

According to research recently published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, the key is to use “we-talk”.

Led by University of California psychologist Megan Robbins and her colleagues, the researchers reviewed and analyzed 30 different studies involving over 5,000 participants. This largest-ever analysis of “we-talk” suggested that the frequent use of “we” and “us” is linked to happier and healthier relationships.

The word “we” moves people from an individual position into a partnership, which makes us more interdependent. “The pronouns offer an insight into whether people see themselves as individuals or as part of a whole...... Word use is a window into what people are thinking and feeling without asking them,” Robbins told Science Daily.

Their research also found that “we-talk” is helpful for resolving conflicts. “The primary point is that interdependence may bring about supportive and relationship-centered behaviors and positive perceptions (认知) of the partner-especially important in times of stress and conflict,” according to a statement released by Robbins’ lab.

US-based magazine Psychology Today used the word “union” to describe the impact on a partner upon hearing “we-talk”.

Contrary to “we-talk”, there is “I-talk”, which refers to the frequent use of first-person singular pronouns, such as “I”, “me”, and “mine”, when writing or speaking.

Earlier this year, researchers from the University of Arizona, US, analyzed a set of data that came from 4,700 people in Germany and the US. They found that too much “I-talk” was an accurate linguistic marker for the likelihood that someone is feeling stressed or experiencing negative emotions.

“If you are speaking in a personal context—so you’re speaking about something that’s of relevance

to you”, lead researcher Allison Tackman told The Independent. “But if you’re communicating in a context that’s more impersonal, such as describing a picture, we did not see the relationship emerge .”

As you can see from the two studies, too much “I-talk” can make you feel depressed . But “we-talk” can encourage you to become more positive and create a ripple effect (连锁反应) of healthy interdependence with others.

So next time you’re talking to a friend, try using more “we-talk”. You may find yourself feeling more positive-and the effect it will have on your friend will be positive as well.

32. According to Megan Robbin and her colleagues’ research,we can infer the following EXCEPT　　　.

A.Too much “I-talk” certainly indicates pressure or depression.

 B. More than 5,000 people were in involved in their research.  

C. The more we use “we” and “us”, the happier we may feel.

D. “we-talk” may help us build better teamwork in our work.

33. What can be the benefit of “we-talk”?

 A. We may avoid arguments and conflicts with it.

B. It may help promote friendship in our life.

C. It can help produce a feeling of individualism.

D. We can becomemore independent of others.

34. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 8 mean?

 A. A person tends to use “I-talk” too much if he is experienced.

 B. “I-talk” is an exact linguistic marker for people’s feelings.

C. If a person uses “I-talk” a lot, he is probably in a bad mood.

 D. It is possible that someone likes “I-talk” when he is in an impersonal context.

35. What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Using “we-talk” contributes to building good social relationships.

B. The importance of choosing the word in our daily conversation .

 C. Using too much “I-talk” may lead you to become upset.

D. Introduction to“we-talk” in our daily communication.

Traveling is what makes your life complete. You may often complain that there is too much work and no time to travel.  36  . There are hundreds of reasons why you should travel. Here are only 4 of them:

1. There is no tomorrow, take a break now.

Be spontaneous and travel whenever you feel like leaving your daily routine. Waiting for certain time of the year so that you could spoil yourself is wrong.

2. Your company won't bankrupt or disappear if you leave it for a week or two.

There are plenty of people who can substitute you and do your job while you are away. 37  Here the point is to plan a week ahead. If you work hard you can play hard. Always remember that the quality of your work will improve if you have a good rest and let yourself relax and recharge with energy and positive emotions

3. You cannot be a good employee if you are unhappy and tense.

Your family suffers, too. When your mind is free you can perform at 200 percent. 38  You lose balance and harmony if you experience too much stress, perform a lot of demanding routine and constantly take responsibilities. Take care of yourself. Make sure that your well-being does not suffer.

4.  39 

We all want to excel in our profession. We want to be in charge even at home We like to be appreciated by the community. Being such a person requires several important qualities.

A friend of mine recently said something nice to me.

“Those sunglasses just don’t  41   you,” she told me.

What was nice wasn’t the  42   into my sunglasses, but my friend’s honesty. She wasn’t being  43   . She wasn’t trying to hurt me. She really wanted what was best for me, and so she   44   causing offense to tell me what I needed to hear.

It is rare, this kind of honesty. And it’s getting rarer.

We live in an age when social media is changing our  45   communications. We post highly considered status updates on Facebook. We “like” the pictures of people we may not like  46   , and leave comments on other people’s posts that are  47   and meaningless.

We are  48   how to be real with each other.

We chat with a(an)  49   who has lipstick on her teeth and we pretend not to notice. We see our friend wearing an awful outfit and reassure her it’s fine. We ignore phone calls, or pretend to be busy,  50   telling someone we don’t want to see them. And when we get our feelings hurt, we  51   it down, because it’s far less difficult than facing the person who hurts us.

And we also refrain (避免) from being honest about ourselves when we are with friends. Sure, we might write about our emotional problems later, once the  52   is over.

We don’t talk about these problems  53   we’re deep in them, because they’re scary and make us weak. We keep the facade (假象) up and the smiles wide and the Instagram photos nice. And then when things  54  —when we end up in hospital, or unemployed—our friends are shocked, because they didn’t see it coming.

We didn’t let them see it coming.

Honesty is difficult, but without it, we can’t connect with each other.

Start small. Let someone know if they have lipstick on their teeth. Tell your friend that no, the outfit isn’t the best, maybe consider something else. Tell your friend   55   that you won’t be at her party, but you wish her all the best. Let your loved ones know when they’ve hurt you, and be prepared to hear the same from them. Be a little more real on social media, for your sake as much as for everyone else’s.

41. A. fit B. suit C. adapt D. attract

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数为150左右。

 Monty Roberts owns a horse ranch（大牧场）in San Francisco. He is willing to help the young who want to pursue their dreams. We were always curious about the reason behind and one day he told us his story.

 When Monty was young，he was the son of an itinerant(四处奔波的) horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track，farm to farm and ranch to ranch，training horses. As a result，his high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior，he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.

 That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing the goal of owning a horse ranch some day. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for 4, 000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.

 He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to the teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front was a large red F with a note that read, “See me after class. ”

 The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, “Why did I receive an F?”

 The teacher said,“This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you'll have to pay large stud (马群) fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.”Then the teacher added, “If you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”

注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已经为你写好。
