The garbage collected is recycled and sold to companies that pay above-market prices to help the cause.Liter of LightSince 2011, Liter of Light has been transforming plastic bottles into light sources (光源). There are millions of people who have no access to electricity. The company attaches plastic bottles filled with water and bleach to roofs. They reflect sunlight into the dark, windowless homes during the day. When the sun sets, a micro solar panel helps power an LED bulb (灯泡).The Ocean Cleanup FoundationIn 2013, 18-year-old Boyan Slat dropped out of college to start The Ocean Cleanup Foundation. The young inventor developed the first operational cleanup system in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The system is designed to collect the surface garbage as it floats past. The accumulated plastic will be brought to land for recycling. Slat believes his invention will allow us to clean 50 percent of the patch within five years.You and MeWe don’t have to be part of a major movement to help make a difference. Simply choosing to recycle, reuse, or avoiding plastic altogether can be a great start to reduce the waste. In addition, there are many other ways to reduce our ecological footprint. Consider walking instead of driving, taking shorter showers, ditching plastic straws, or even planting a tree!21.What does Plastic Bank mainly do to help reduce plastic pollution?A. They invent various ways.    B. They reward the collectors.C. They found a recycling company.   D. They call on the public to plant trees.22. How can plastic bottles become light sources?A. By reflecting sunlight.     B. By producing electricity.C. By working with a solar panel.   D. By being made into LED bulbs.23. What kind of person is Boyan Slat?A. Learned and ambitious.     B. Devoted and dutiful.C. Hard-working and careful.    D. Optimistic and creative.BSewing can be fun and creative. But have you ever thought that a sewing machine can also mean the world to many people around the globe that use it as their main source of income?When Margaret Jankowski discovered this, she decided to found The Sewing Machine Project, an organization that collects donated used machines and redistributes them in remote places like Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Guam, and Kosovo. It also aims to help those in Detroit and New Orleans.In 2004, when a tsunami(海啸）hit Sri Lanka,Margaret was deeply touched by the story of a particular woman. After the village she lived in was destroyed by the natural disaster, she lost everything, including her sewing machine, her approach to future earnings. This story made Margaret decide to collect used sewing machines and send them to Sri Lanka. After attending a local news program where she presented her idea, she started receiving scores of sewing machines.  The Sewing Machine Project covers a basic yet necessary need of many impoverished people around the world. For them, sewing can be a tool for survival. Whether in a factory or at home, a sewing machine can be the door to brighter financial opportunities.After Hurricane Katrina occurred in 2005, a community of New Orleans that wears skilfully made suits for their own traditional festival lost many of their sewing machines. Since then, the non-profit organization has distributed hundreds of machines among the creators of the costumes, helping them maintain their cultural identity as well as their income.24. Why does the author raise the question in the first paragraph?A. To make readers reflect.     B. To lead up to the project.C. To stress the role of sewing.    D. To introduce sewing machines.25. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Destruction of the 2004 tsunami.   B. Inspiration for the organization.C. The story of a woman in Sri Lanka.  D. The experience of Margaret in 2004.26. What does the underlined word “impoverished” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Disabled.   B. Exhausted.   C. Poor.    D. Pessimistic.27. Why is the community in New Orleans mentioned the end?A. To introduce its cultural identity.   B. To prove the importance of keeping traditions.C. To explain the project's achievement.  D. To show another function of sewing machine.CFor some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize musical notes (音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two-songs. Amusic can only hear the difference between two notes if they are far apart on the music scale (音阶).As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn’t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed. For years. Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. “When people invite me to a concert I just say, ‘No thanks. I'm amusic’,” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”28.Which of the following is true of amusics?A. Listening to music is not enjoyable for them. B. They can easily tell two different songs apart.C. Their situation is well understood by musicians. D. They love places where they are likely to hear music.29.According to paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who_______.A. dislikes listening to speeches     B. can hear anything musicalC. has a hearing problem      D. lacks the ability to see colors30.What does Margaret want to express in the last paragraph?A. Her problem with music should have been diagnosed earlier.B. She were seventeen years old rather than seventy.C. Her problem could be easily explained.D. She were able to meet other amusics.31. What is the passage mainly about?A. Amusics’ strange behaviours.          B. Some people’s inability to enjoy music.C. Musical talent and brain structure.      D. Identification and treatment of amusics.DExercise and a healthy diet in childhood leads to adults with bigger brains and lower levels of anxiety, according to a new research in mice.Though diet and exercise are consistently recommended as ways to promote health, this study is the first to examine the long-lasting, combined effects of both factors when they are experienced early in life.The researchers determined that early-life exercise generally reduced anxious behaviors in adults. It also led to an increase in adult muscle and brain mass. When fed “Western” style diets high in fat and sugar, the mice not only became fatter, but also grew into adults that preferred unhealthy foods.These findings have recently been published in the journal Physiology and Behavior. To obtain them, the researchers divided the young mice into four groups - those with access to exercise, those without access, those fed a standard, healthy diet and those that ate a Western diet.Mice started on their diets immediately after weaning (断奶), and continued on them for three weeks, until they reached physical maturity. After an additional eight weeks of “washout”, during which all mice were housed without motion and on the healthy diet, the researchers did behavioral analysis and various measurements.One of those they measured, leptin, is produced by fat cells. It helps control body weight primarily by lowering the sensation of hunger and also by increasing energy consumption. Early-life exercise increased adult leptin levels as well as fat mass in adult mice, regardless of the diet they ate.Previously, the research team found that eating too much fat and sugar as a child can change the microbiome (肠道菌群) for life, even if they later eat more healthily. Going forward, the team plans to investigate whether fat or sugar is more responsible for the negative effects they measured in Western-diet-fed mice.Together, both studies offer important opportunities for health interventions in childhood habits. The findings may be relevant for understanding the potential effects of activity reductions and dietary changes associated with fatness.32.What is unique about the new study?A.It involves adults’ eating behavior.    B.It shows key elements for a long life.C.It stresses separate impacts of exercise and diet. D.It highlights joint effects of early exercise and diet.33.How did the researchers get the study results?A.By trial and error.       B.By previous experience.C.By experimenting on grouped mice.   D.By comparing mice with human beings.34.What is the main function of leptin?A.It forms fat cells.       B.It brings down appetite.C.It stimulates hunger.       D.It limits energy consumption.35.How does the author look at health interventions in early-life habits?A.Favorably.   B.Critically.    C.Indifferently.   D.Doubtfully.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 With gas prices rising and airport security lines snaking longer than ever, why not book your next domestic vacation on a train?

Unfortunately, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake, Jane was so angry that she said to Tom. “I’m going to find a better spot for us to camp” and walked away.With no path to follow, Jane just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake. To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and, far beyond, a snowcapped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.“Tom! ”she cried. “Help!”No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving, but the farther she walked, the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall, Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.Jane rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落）somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to the lake.As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Jane heard a helicopter.Is that for me? Unfortunately, the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above. A few minutes later, another helicopter flew overhead. Jane took off her yellow blouse, thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.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, 每段的开头语已为你写好;Paragraph1: But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2: It was daybreak（黎明) when Jane woke up. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
