二、完型填空

    The limits of how long human beings can stay awake have long been studied.

There is a widely recognized(公认的)   16    that was set in 1965 by an American high school student. He did not sleep for about 11 days for an experiment(实验). Other unofficial reports describe soldiers staying    17    for four days in battle and patients who have gone without sleep for three or four days. 

So far the reason why humans fall asleep    18    a mystery, but there is no doubt that enough sleep is good for us. As Erin Hanlon, an assistant professor at the University of Chicago, told the BBC, it seems that sleep can “reset” the systems in our    19   . That is why we feel refreshed after a good nap.

On the other hand, lack of sleep could affect our health both    20    and mentally. Director of Sleep Medicine, Atul Malhotra, at the University of California, told the BBC that when someone often    21    all night and does not have high quality sleep, stress hormones (荷尔蒙) increase in his or her blood, causing    22    blood pressure. Meanwhile, the rhythm (节奏) of the heart is affected, causing dizziness (头晕目眩) and a tight (憋闷的) chest. 

Another surprising    23    is that some people really don’t sleep for days or even months. This is because a rare genetic (基因的) disease leads to disorders of a deep area of the brain that controls sleep.    24    they do not feel sleepy, their organs (器官) and brain are actually hurt.

Good sleep is important for us. Burning the midnight oil is not always a good idea. Keeping a    25    between work and life seems to be the key to helping us feel energetic, healthy and powerful.

16．A．method B．record C．lifestyle

17．A．calm B．healthy C．awake

18．A．remains B．repeats C．represents (表现)

19．A．lives B．houses C．bodies

20．A．suddenly B．regularly C．physically

21．A．gives up B．stays up C．lifts up

22．A．large B．little C．high

23．A．fact B．reason C．cause

24．A．Since B．Until C．Although

25．A．promise B．secret C．balance (平衡)

    Elias Howe is always used to going to bed at 4 o’clock in the morning. Working all night became his living habit. Who’s Elias Howe? You may never hear of him. He was born in America. The sewing(缝纫) machine was invented by him.

Over 100 years ago, without modern machines, people had to do the sewing by hand. Elias decided to design a machine to do the sewing instead of our hands. However, he had a trouble. He couldn’t get the thread(线) to run around the needle(针). Inventing sewing machine was his dream. So he did not give up. He kept thinking about how to solve this problem.

Once he was tired, he slept in bed. He had a dream. In the dream he was caught by a king. The king ordered him to build a perfect sewing machine, or the king would kill him. Elias met the same problem as before. The king was so angry that he ordered his soldiers to kill him. The soldiers raised spears(长矛) and came up to him. Suddenly Elias noticed something. There was a hole in the tip (尖端) of each spear.

Before the spears stuck to his body, Elias woke up from the dream. And he realized that he had found the answer to the problem.

    Most people have a place to call home on Earth. What about in outer space? The International Space Station (ISS) became our first “home” in space in 2000. It welcomed its first crew that year, paving (铺设) the way for 20 years of future research.

“You just have this impression that we’re all citizens (公民) of not a country, but of the planet,” former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly told National Geographic about working in ISS. “We’re all in this thing called humanity (人类) together.”

Over the past 20 years, the ISS has mainly been used as a science lab, hosting 241 people from 19 countries, according to NASA．They have gone on spacewalks, done research on how space affects the human body, and even grown plants in space.

The station’s development has also benefited (有益于) people on Earth. For example, the station’s water purification (净化) technology has been used in poor areas to provide clean drinking water. The station also helps to warn us of natural disasters (灾难), such as earthquakes.

However, after being our home in space for over 7,000 days, the station is starting to get old. It has leaked (泄漏) air a few times. Scientists think that the station can keep working until 2024. After that, scientists will bring it down to Earth. It is believed that Earth’s atmosphere (大气) will burn up most of the station. Other debris (残骸) will fall into the Pacific Ocean.

In the future, space will be home to more stations like the ISS. NASA is building a space station that is smaller than the ISS near the moon. Also, China will have its own space station up and running in 2022.

36．What do we know from what Scott Kelly said?

A．Astronauts see the ISS as their home.

B．Anyone can go to the ISS.

C．All of humanity has something in common.

D．Astronauts’ lives on the ISS are difficult.

37．What have the astronauts done while on the ISS?

a. Gone on spacewalks.

b. Learned how space affects the human body.

c. Grown plants.

d. Provided clean water for poor areas.

e. Stopped earthquakes.

A．abc B．abd C．ade D．bde

38．Paragraph 4 explains ________.

A．what people on the ISS have done

B．how the ISS has helped humans on Earth

C．who has visited the ISS over the years

D．how people live on the ISS

39．What will happen to the ISS?

A．The whole station will fall into the Pacific Ocean.

B．It will be brought back to Earth.

C．It will be left in outer space forever.

D．It will burn up in space.

40．From the last paragraph, we know that ________.

A．building a space station takes a long time

B．it will be easier to go to space in the future

C．China will send astronauts to the ISS

D．we will build more space stations

    Every day, China imports (进口) different goods from countries across the globe. These imports also include solid waste, such as plastics, paper and metals. They mainly come from countries like the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan.

These goods will no longer be imported next year. China has already banned (禁止) all imports of solid waste starting from Jan 1, 2021, said the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE).

Why does China import this waste? In 1980, China’s economy (经济) was gradually taking off because of the reform and opening-up policy. The country’s factories didn’t have enough raw materials at that time. Therefore, China began importing solid waste. After being processed(加工), it can be turned into materials that are used to make other products.

For years, China has been the world’s largest importer of solid waste, with about 45 million tons arriving each year. Countries that send this waste to China pay about $25 (163 yuan) to $50 per ton for recycling, China News Agency reported.

Although the waste has helped develop China’s economy, it has brought more risks than benefits. Waste that can’t be used is either burned or buried (填埋). The water used to wash the waste is allowed to flow into nearby rivers. This has polluted the air, soil and water, posing a risk to public health, China Daily reported.

China has made some efforts to ban waste since 2017. From 2017 to 2019, imports of solid waste fell by 68 percent, dropping from 42 million to 13 million tons, Xinhua reported.

What about China’s waste?

China can produce enough raw materials to support its economy now. However, it is also producing a rapidly-increasing amount of waste.

In 2019, the government worked out a guideline for the creation of zero solid waste programs. These programs have been carried out in 11 cities and five districts (区域), including Shenzhen in Guangdong province and Weihai in Shandong province.

41．After Jan 1, 2021, what will no longer be allowed in China?

A．Importing plastic products from abroad.

B．Buying solid waste from abroad.

C．Selling metals to other countries.

D．Producing solid waste.

42．What do we know from Paragraphs 3 and 4?

A．Many factories used to use solid waste to make products.

B．About 45 million tons of waste are processed worldwide each year.

C．China has made a lot of money by importing waste.

D．It costs very little money to recycle solid waste.

43．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?

A．How solid waste has helped China’s development.

B．What we can do to protect ourselves from waste.

C．What risks solid waste brought to China.

D．How solid waste should be dealt with.

44．According to the last paragraph, which word describes China’s efforts to ban waste?

A．wasteful B．effective C．challenging D．expensive

45．According to the passage, what has China done to solve the waste problem?

A．The government worked out a guideline for the creation of zero solid waste programs.

B．China imported different goods from countries across the globe.

C．For years, China has been the world’s largest importer of solid waste.

D．China can produce enough raw materials to support its economy now.

Dear friends,

My name is Li Mei, a Chinese girl. I’m very proud to introduce the high-speed rail. It’s the fastest train in the world. People call it one of China’s four new inventions. Its total length has reached more than 35,000 kilometers. The train is very clean, comfortable and quiet. Though it can run at the top speed of over 300 kilometers per hour, it’s still the safest vehicle. When you walk into the high-speed rail station, you must find it’s easy to get tickets through many ways, by telephone, by the Internet or on the self-service ticket machine. If you come to China, you’d better experience the fun of taking high-speed rail.
