If you walk through the streets of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, you’ll immediately (立即) notice something wonderful about the city: the street art. All around the city, the walls are covered with colorful graffiti (涂鸦) and bright paintings. In the past, this street art was not allowed. But in 2009, the city passed a law allowing street art on private buildings if the owner gives permission (允许). In 2014, Rio de Janeiro became the first city in the world to legalize (合法化) graffiti in places such as skate parks and the walls.
People who want to create street art in Rio de Janeiro can’t just paint any wall with any picture, though. They still have to follow some rules. Street art and graffiti are allowed, but just signing a name on a wall is not. And if an artist wants to create a picture on the walls of someone’s house or shop, the artist must ask the owner first. But getting permission might not be too hard. Street art is very popular throughout the city, both with the local people and with visitors. Many tourists come to Brazil just to see it. They can even take special guided street-art tours through Rio de Janeiro. The city government has also set up a special online street-art project. Volunteers can join the project and travel around the city, taking photos.
16．We can see the street art ________ in Rio de Janeiro.
A．on the streets B．on the walls C．on the floors D．on the grass
17．What should you do if you want to create street art on private buildings?
A．I should pay the owners for that. B．I should ask the owners for permission.
C．I should create it with the owners. D．I should write the owners’ names on the walls.
18．Which of the following is not allowed according to the passage?
A．Taking photos of the street art. B．Taking special guided street-art tours.
C．Just signing a name on a wall. D．Creating the street art in skate parks.

B
The world has a plastic problem. And not just with bottles. Straws (吸管), toothbrushes, toys—all kinds of plastics are placed in landfills (垃圾填埋场). There are 5 billion tons of plastic waste in the world. Landfills have a large part of it. By 2050, they could have 13 billion tons.
Much of plastic rubbish finds its way into the ocean. Scientists say 165 million tons of plastic pieces are floating (漂浮) around out there. And most plastic won’t disappear itself. It will remain in the ocean forever. Whales get caught in plastic fishing nets. Birds die because of eating plastic straws and bottle caps. It endangers ocean life. Plastic rubbish even ends up in the food we eat.
Governments are realizing that recycling may not be enough. They are taking more actions. Though it is hard work, it is still a solvable problem. In Britain, people are not allowed to use plastic bags except in hospitals. Scotland and several coastal (沿海的) cities in the US stop people from using plastic straws as well. The US alone discarded (丢弃) some 500 million plastic straws a day. That’s enough to circle the Earth twice. “Saying no to a plastic straw is an easy way to protect the environment,” Diana Lofflin who started www.strawfree.org said. “Do we really want to pass on to our children a world harmed by plastic?”
People have found some tasty ways to reduce waste. A company in India made the first-ever spoon that people can eat. You don’t have to eat the spoon. You can throw it away. It decomposes (分解) in just a few days. David Edwards, a scientist at Harvard University, designed an eatable bag which can protect the food or drink inside. It is a delicious replacement (替代品) for plastic ones.
19．According to the writer, birds die because they ________.
A．eat plastic straws and bottle caps B．get caught in fishing nets
C．feed on ocean animals D．have the spoons in India
20．The underlined word “endangers” means ________ in the passage.

21．The writer writes this passage mainly to ________.
A．introduce some ways to recycle waste B．tell readers about the problem with plastics
C．compare air pollution and plastic pollution D．describe how the US is reducing plastic waste
22．From the passage, we can tell that the plastic problem ________.

Last year, I went to Italy as an exchange student. Before leaving, I asked my mother what gifts I should take to the teachers and the students there. Mom said that the Chinese fan was a good choice, for China is praised as “the Fan Kingdom”. I couldn’t agree more, because it is more than a tool for cooling. It’s also an important part of Chinese culture.
I went shopping and bought three kinds of Chinese fans. The first kind was the feather fan for the teachers, which was made of bird feathers. It was the symbol of Zhuge Liang, a very smart man in ancient China. The fans I bought for the girls were silk fans. Fans of this kind were made of silk with paintings of beautiful women, birds or flowers. They were very popular with women of all ages. As for the boys, I picked the folding fans from Rongchang, a place in the west of Chongqing. The folding fans were made of paper and bamboo and there were great paintings and calligraphy(书法) on them.
At the welcome party in Italy, my new teachers and classmates were all excited to get the wonderful fans. And they were even more excited after learning about the stories and culture behind them.

While I and my family are waiting to compete, my friend Tomeu comes. He and his family are also part of our team.
“What if I’m not ready for this, Tomeu?” I ask.
Tomeu smiles at me. “We are never ready, Jordi. None of us knows for sure how it’ll go. But you must have faith in the others. You must trust those below who lift you up, and you must trust yourself.” Tomeu pats me on the shoulder. “Have faith. Have focus.”
Soon, too soon, it is our turn. Father and three of the strongest men stand in a circle and hold tightly to each other’s arms. Four smaller men climb up to stand on their shoulders, creating a strong second level. Our tower is growing taller and taller. Next, my mother helps form the fifth level.
Then suddenly it’s my turn. “Faith and focus,” Tomeu says. I climb over the backs of the first two levels without difficulty. But when I reach the fifth level, my knees start to tremble, for I’m very high off the ground. I place my foot into the waist belt of my mother and try to stand, but my foot slips off the belt, and the tower below me moves a bit. My heart begins a crazy dance.
“Tranquil. Easy.” My mother whispers. I take a deep breath to calm myself and again place my foot into her belt. I push myself to a stand and step onto her shoulders. With focus and trust, I straighten my knees slowly until I’m standing. Below me, I feel my mother’s strength. Opposite me, Tomeu has also come to a stand on his mother’s shoulders. He and I hold each other’s arms, making a strong sixth level.
I turn my face up to the sun and laugh, for I am no longer frightened. Soon, I feel my sister’s hands on my feet. I work hard to hold myself straight and strong for her. Once she climbs onto my shoulders. our tower is complete.
The crowd cheers loud. I smile across at Tomeu. Whether or not we win this competition, I know we’ve done what we set out to do. Today, I am a casteller!

It was the symbol of Zhuge Liang, a very smart man in ancient China. The fans I bought for the girls were silk fans. Fans of this kind were made of silk with paintings of beautiful women, birds or flowers. They were very popular with women of all ages. As for the boys, I picked the folding fans from Rongchang, a place in the west of Chongqing. The folding fans were made of paper and bamboo and there were great paintings and calligraphy(书法) on them.
At the welcome party in Italy, my new teachers and classmates were all excited to get the wonderful fans. And they were even more excited after learning about the stories and culture behind them.

“Desperta’t, Jordi! Wake up!” Father’s voice calls, and I sit up quickly. Today is the day! The day that I will be a casteller for the first time in my life. Here in Spain, building human towers, or castells, is very popular. People from different places get together to compete.
While I and my family are waiting to compete, my friend Tomeu comes. He and his family are also part of our team.
“What if I’m not ready for this, Tomeu?” I ask.
Tomeu smiles at me. “We are never ready, Jordi. None of us knows for sure how it’ll go. But you must have faith in the others. You must trust those below who lift you up, and you must trust yourself.” Tomeu pats me on the shoulder. “Have faith. Have focus.”
Soon, too soon, it is our turn. Father and three of the strongest men stand in a circle and hold tightly to each other’s arms. Four smaller men climb up to stand on their shoulders, creating a strong second level. Our tower is growing taller and taller. Next, my mother helps form the fifth level.
Then suddenly it’s my turn. “Faith and focus,” Tomeu says. I climb over the backs of the first two levels without difficulty. But when I reach the fifth level, my knees start to tremble, for I’m very high off the ground. I place my foot into the waist belt of my mother and try to stand, but my foot slips off the belt, and the tower below me moves a bit. My heart begins a crazy dance.
“Tranquil. Easy.” My mother whispers. I take a deep breath to calm myself and again place my foot into her belt. I push myself to a stand and step onto her shoulders. With focus and trust, I straighten my knees slowly until I’m standing. Below me, I feel my mother’s strength. Opposite me, Tomeu has also come to a stand on his mother’s shoulders. He and I hold each other’s arms, making a strong sixth level.
I turn my face up to the sun and laugh, for I am no longer frightened. Soon, I feel my sister’s hands on my feet. I work hard to hold myself straight and strong for her. Once she climbs onto my shoulders. our tower is complete.
The crowd cheers loud. I smile across at Tomeu. Whether or not we win this competition, I know we’ve done what we set out to do. Today, I am a casteller!

【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了Jordi一家和Tomeu一家去参加西班牙的“人堆城堡比赛”，他们互相鼓励，沉着冷静，无论结果如何，今天都是非常棒的。
56．细节理解题。根据第三段“What if I’m not ready for this, Tomeu...”可知，作者觉得自己没准备好。所以作者自己不是很有把握，故选A。
57．细节理解题。根据第六段“But when I reach the fifth level, my knees start to tremble, for I’m very high off the ground. I place my foot into the waist belt of my mother and try to stand, but my foot slips off the belt, and the tower below me moves a bit.”可知，当到达第五层的时候，作者尝试站起来，但是不稳，脚滑，觉得下面的“塔层”移动了，所以感觉要摔下来了。故选B。
58．细节理解题。根据第二段“While I and my family are waiting to compete, my friend Tomeu comes. He and his family are also part of our team.”可知，都是家庭来参加比赛，以及后面的描述，都是一家人一层层堆人型塔的，故选C。
