26、   With the electronics industry developing, electronic products have become ubiquitous （无处不在的）in today’s life. Meanwhile, there are more and more abandoned electronic products, commonly called e-waste. It’s estimated that the number will grow to more than 60 million tons by 2021.

What contributes to the sharp rise in e-waste? Technology is developing rapidly, covering almost every aspect of our lives. Meanwhile, the lifespan of devices is getting shorter—many products will be thrown away once their batteries die. Companies intentionally plan the obsolescence （淘汰）of their goods by updating the design or software and discontinuing support for older models, so that it is usually cheaper and easier to buy a new product than to repair an old one.

What can we do about the growing e-waste problem? Recycling is very important and essential. As more people buy electronic equipment, producers are facing shortages of the raw materials, needed to make their products, so recycling and reusing e-waste makes economic and environmental sense.

Recycling e-waste is practiced both formally and informally. Formal e-waste recycling usually involves taking apart the electronics, sorting the materials and cleaning them. Companies must obey health and safety rules to reduce the health and environmental harm of handling e-waste by using: pollution-control technologies. All this makes formal recycling expensive. Informal recycling is typically, unlicensed and uncontrolled. At informal recycling workshops, people recover valuable materials burning devices to melt away non-valuable materials. Usually they do not wear protective equipment and lack any awareness that they are handling dangerous materials.

With the flood of e-waste growing around the world, recycling alone will not be enough to solve the problem. In order to reduce e-waste, producers need to design electronics that are safer, and more long-lasting, repairable and recyclable. The best thing we can do is to resist buying a new device until we really need it. Try to get our old product repaired if possible and, if it can't be fixed, resell or recycle it responsibly and correctly.

【1】What is the main idea of paragraph 2?

A.The causes of devices' price dropping.

B.The results of updating devices.

C.The methods of recycling e-waste.

D.The reasons for more and more e-waste.

【2】Why is recycling e-waste necessary according to the text?

A.To improve the poor quality of e-devices.

B.To lower the costs of technology innovation.

C.To relieve producers’ lack of materials.

D.To increase the variety of electronic products.

【3】What can we know about formal recycling workshops?

A.There are many rules and steps to follow.

B.They aim to get valuable materials by burning devices.

C.It is convenient for them to recycle e-waste.

D.They are unaware of the danger while handling e-waste.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.E-waste is easy to deal with by ourselves.

B.Producers should be mainly responsible for reducing e-waste.

C.Everyone should shoulder responsibility to help reduce e-waste.

D.Fixing a device could cause more pollution than buying a new one.

27、   Most people who know about diabetes think there are two kinds: type l, which you are born with, and type 2, which you get later in life from eating too much. This isn't quite right, since the two types can occur at different life stages and for a number of reasons, but the broad distinction is well rooted in the public's mind.

Now some doctors want to change that and break the disease down into five subtypes (子类型), each with its own set of risk factors, outcomes and treatments. The new claim was made by researchers based in Sweden and Finland who assessed almost 15,000 people with diabetes in those countries. They found that these people fell into one of five categories based on their blood sugar, insulin (胰岛素) production and sensitivity, and their body mass index and age. The subgroups also vary genetically.

The researchers say that two of the subtypes are mild and can be largely treated with lifestyle changes and small amounts of a standard drug. People with the three more severe forms are more likely to develop eye and kidney disease, so treating them is a must.

So far, so good. After all, this is the way medicine is heading. The more we learn about common diseases, the more we realize there is huge variation in the way they present themselves. For example, research into the genetics of several cancers has helped identify which treatments might work best for individuals.

The idea that a cheap and fairly straightforward blood test could help doctors predict the cause and prognosis (预断) of that individuals' diabetes is appealing. This is especially the case given that an estimated 9 percent of the global population are affected by the disorder and many aren’t getting the right treatment.

But the five subgroups aren't the end of the story. Diabetes just isn't that simple. For a long time, we considered the condition as being either “childhood-onset” or “adult-onset”, and this is how many people still think of the disease. Yet in the last decade, this classification was questioned as it was discovered that adults in their 40s and 50s could develop a form of the disease that looked very “childhood” like, while more children are developing type 2 diabetes. It is also quite likely that the risks and outcomes of diabetes will look different in people who live outside Sweden and Finland, such as in the Middle East whose nations have some of the highest rates of the condition in the world.

【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A．It is believed that diabetes type 1 results from a bad diet.

B．The popular classification of diabetes is not so scientific.

C．Children catch diabetes type 1 easily when born.

D．People are not fully convinced of the different types of diabetes.

【2】The benefit of breaking diabetes down into five subtypes is that ________.

A．it helps researchers find out the risk factors of each type

B．it makes it possible to find the best treatment for each type

C．it helps to make the knowledge of diabetes popular

D．it leads people to believe treating diabetes is a piece of cake

【3】What does the author think of the research on diabetes?

A．It has found a quick solution for curing diabetes.

B．The outcome of the research is sure to be widely applied.

C．More researches are needed to know diabetes well enough.

D．It confirms that three of the five subtypes are mild form.

【4】The purpose of writing the passage is to ________.

A．stress the necessity of carrying out researches on diabetes

B．correct people's knowledge of classifying diabetes

C．advise doctors on how to treat diabetes scientifically

D．inform people of a brand-new view on diabetes

28、Once, a lioness and her cub were hunting in the jungle. The baby asked its mother, "Mother, why are we hunting when a deer is already at home?"

The mother said, "My love! We can't eat that deer because it has surrendered(投降)himself seeking our help. He is wounded and helpless. We must help him."

The baby cub was surprised and questioned again, "Why so? That's our food, we can eat it."

"Honey, you are right! It's our food and we can kill him in any second but do you think he deserves to be killed when he has come to us for protection?"

The baby cub couldn't understand her mother's vulnerability(软弱). It kept quiet and paced with its mother. At last, they didn't get anything and came back to their cave.

The deer, on the other hand, was terrified of his own decision of taking shelter in the cave. Unfortunately he had no choice! He was attacked by a hunter and somehow managed to escape. While running for his life, he saw the cave and without a second thought entered it. He had already got a shot from the hunter. When he realized he was in the lion's cave, he gave up the idea of running back again. The deer gazed at the lioness with a pitiful look, tears rolling down. He sat there as if he urged for the mercy of the lioness.

The lioness came closer to the deer, smelled it and slowly moved out of the cave with her cub.

When the lions came back, the cub asked its mother to kill the deer again. But the lioness was firm on her decision. She said, "Sweetheart! We can manage one night without any food. Tomorrow, I would definitely fetch out some food for you."

The cub said nothing, grunted(嘟哝)a little.

When the cub slept, the lioness whispered to the deer. "Run, away from this area because I doubt if I could save you any longer if the next time situation demands!".

The deer looked at the lioness with gratitude and slowly walked away from the cave.

【1】What contributes to the deer's survival?

A．The hunter's mercy.

B．The lioness's sympathy.

C．The cub's understanding.

D．The lioness's vulnerability.

【2】What do we know about the deer?

A．He trusted the lioness.

B．He regretted surrendering

C．He went to the cave by accident.

D．He tried to fight the lioness.

【3】What does the underlined sentence imply?

A．The deer might be killed.

B．The hunter would spot the deer again.

C．The lioness could cure the deer.

33、   We live in a heavily edited world. People in pictures are no longer people-they are perfect human beings whom we can only try, and_______, to live up to. And food in pictures is no longer food. It's_______, something to make you desire a lifestyle while_______you that you're not part of it.

But people are getting _______ and tired of such perfection, leading to something Pamela Grossman, a director at Getty Images, calls “perfection fatigue(疲劳)”. This new attitude is now _______ people to value something different: _______.

The pizza company Domino's, for example, is_______the trend by encouraging its customers to_______ unedited pictures of their pizzas on social media, as part of the nofilter(未过滤的) movement that’s become so popular on Instagram. This may mean oily boxes, _______ cheese and less-than-delicious-looking meat, but these________show what we're actually ________.

"It's________what it looks like when you really get a pizza."Dennis Maloney, chief digital officer of Domino's, told the website Fastcodesign. "It feels much more honest and transparent when the images are imperfect.”

Things are also changing with perfect human images. For example, US clothing company Gap, __________a "Dress Normal" campaign in 2014, ________simple clothes instead of smart suits like those of runway models.

"We spend so much time trying to________our shortcomings owing to the fact that our________has set it up that we have to be________ if we're not perfect," US filmmaker Cynthia Wade told The New York Times. "I think people are tired of it. They're suddenly much more willing to________the ugly or sarcastic."

But while it's probably true that we won't see a(n) ________to "perfect" pictures any time soon, at least some people are starting to see that it can actually be________to be imperfect, or to use the name of one of American singer Grace VanderWaal's albums, Perfectly Imperfect.

34、阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Smell the flowers before you go to sleep and you may just end up with rosy dreams. Have a whiff of rotten(腐烂的)eggs during the night and your dreams may be【1】(pleasant). So says researcher Dr. Boris Stuck, 【2】invited sleeping volunteers to a rose vs. rotten egg test in the University Hospital Mannheim in Germany. The subjects didn’t dream about roses【3】eggs, but rather he found that what they smelt affected the emotions of【4】(they) dreams.

And if you think【5】(smell) have a say in dreams, wait for what TV tells us. A UK study reveals that people exposed【6】black-and-white film and TV in their youth are to have monochromic(单色的)dreams throughout their life more【7】(probable). Eva Murzyn from the University of Dundee tested two age groups— one half 【8】(age) over 55 and【9】other half under 25.

The result? Under 5% of the dreams of the under-25s were in black and white. 【10】(watch)color TV in childhood seems to be the reason why.

35、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Driving an electric car 【1】 to the protection of environment, or so the marketing departments of their makers would have you believe. Yet a report which analyzes car emissions presents a rather different picture. A battery-powered car recharged with 【2】 generated by coal-fired power stations, it found, is likely to be more harmful. It could cause more than three times as many deaths from pollution as a 【3】 petrol-driven vehicle.

The study was carried out by the University of Minnesota. The researchers estimated how levels of fine particulate matter (细颗粒物) and ground-level ozone — two important 【4】 of air pollution — would change when a car is powered by different ways.

It was no surprise that electric cars whose batteries were recharged with power from wind, solar or hydro-electric sources came out to be virtually free from harmful 【5】. They were estimated to cause 231 deaths over the course of a year, compared with 878 for petrol cars. Electric cars recharged with power from natural gas-fired stations were also a lot less harmful than petrol-driven ones, with 439 deaths. But if those same electric cars were recharged 【6】 by coal, they would be responsible for over 3,000 deaths.

Biofuels also caused more health problems than petrol. But diesel, which often  【7】 concern about pollution, is slightly cleaner than petrol. This is because the study assumes for all cars that emission-control technologies will be more widely used, especially particulate filters which have a remarkable effect on cleaning diesel 【8】. Diesel cars are also more 【9】 of fuel than petrol-driven ones.

Overall, the study shows that electric cars are cleaner than those traditional vehicles only if the power used to charge then is also clean. That is hardly a surprise, but the 【10】 of the difference is. How green electric cars really are, then, will depend mainly on where they are driven. In France, which obtains more than half of its power from nuclear station, electric cars look like a good bet. In China and some other developing countries, where a large amount of electricity is produced from coal, they may not be so environment- friendly as they are marketed.

36、阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空，在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

B

Water is a precious resource. Every person needs it【5】 (survive),and we use it for cooking, drinking, growing our food and washing. However，it is scarce(缺乏的).Just 1% of water on Earth can【6】 (use)by humans. What’s more，treating water to make it clean and safe and pumping it to our homes uses up lots of energy. So, what can you do to help save water? One easy way is by【7】(turn)off the tap when you brush your teeth.

I see her as my best friend. I think she’d always come to me first if she had a problem. We have the same sense of humor, and share interests. 【1】 I don’t mind animals, she’s completely fascinated with them, and she has always had dogs, cats, horses, and goldfish in her life.

We were 【2】 (close) when she was about four, which I think is a lovely age for a child. They know the parents best, and don’t have outside contacts. She must have grown up suddenly when she went to school, because I remember her growing away from her family slightly. Any father who has a teenager daughter comes across an extraordinary collection of people, and there seemed to be an endless stream of strange young men 【3】 (come) through our house. By the time I learned their names they 【4】 (go) away and I had to start learning a new lot.

I wanted more than anything else for her to be happy in 【5】 she was doing, and I was prepared to pull strings to help her on her way. When she left a good school she decided she wanted to become an actress so I got her into drama school. It wasn’t to her liking so she joined a theatre group and began doing bits and pieces in films. She was doing well, but then gave it up. She probably found it boring. Then she took up social work, and finally went to work 【6】a designer and he became her husband. And that’s really the story of her life. She must be happy with him—they’re always together.

We have such similar tastes in books and music 【7】 I used to take her to see an opera, which is my big passion. However, I don’t think she likes it very much. She doesn’t come with me anymore.

I don’t think she’s a big television watcher. She knows when I’m on the television, and she 【8】 watch, but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she tells me.

We’re very grateful for Amy. She’s a good daughter as daughters go. We’re looking forward to being grandparents.

The Dickensons lived on the eastern coast of America and the three boys, Carl, Simon, and little Ben loved the water. The elder brothers usually helped their dad on his farm and took care of their little brother.

There was an island off shore in the distance. One Saturday the two elder brothers decided to go there for an adventure. When they were leaving, their father said, “Boys, I have to go to town and I want you to take care of Ben. You can carry him together but be careful!” Although they thought Ben was too young to take risks, they still took him.

When the three arrived at the shore, they were lucky to find an old rowboat with oars (桨).Carl and Simon took turns to paddle (划桨)the boat.

Suddenly they noticed the old boat leaking slowly. Carl asked them not to worry and said that they could empty water when they got back. But as the boys neared the island, they struck a rock hidden under the water. It enlarged the hole, more water pouring in. They were glad to be safe on shore!

“How can we get back with the weight of us?” Simon wondered.

Carl answered “You row Ben across, and then come back for me. If we move fast, it won’t sink with only two.” Simon agreed.

The boys started to explore the island. It was flat with many trees. In a couple of hours they had gone all around the island, but when they headed for their boat, they were shocked! Their boat was bumping against trees. The tide was coming in! The island was disappearing!

The boys took a rock and tried to fill it into the hole but they only made it worse because of the old wood. Carl thought a minute “Simon, you take Ben as fast as you can. Then run for the house and see if Dad can come to rescue me. I can climb a tree or something that will give me maybe another hour.” The brothers hugged. Then Carl turned the boat around, helped Ben get in and pushed it as hard as he could toward home

Paragraph 1:

Half an hour passed and only a small part of the island was above water now.

Paragraph 2:

In a few minutes, dad picked up Carl into his motorboat and hugged him.

40、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Last Saturday, when I was checking out at the grocery store, the woman in front of me caught my attention. She was in a red coat and had long hair. She was pushing one shopping cart with a basket in front. The basket held just a few items：corm, a lot of bread, some canned goods and a bunch of gorgeous colored roses. Several times when I was looking at her, I caught her looking at those lovely roses and smiling. I thought she must like roses very much. Therefore, I commented that those roses were, indeed, very lovely and beautiful. She said, “Roses are my favorite flowers, and I really do love them.”

Then, when I was waiting to bill my items, I heard the woman say to the cashier, “Em…, you can put those roses back, because I really can’t afford them now. I don’t have enough money.”

On hearing that, I asked her if she allowed me to buy them for her. She shook her head and said, “Why would you want to do that? You certainly don’t have to.” I replied that I just wanted to give her “a special thing” because she loved them so much. However, she still seemed hesitant. Then I told her that she would be doing me a great kindness if she allowed me to gift them to her. With tears in her eyes, she agreed and said, “I really do love them. Thank you very much.”

The moment I handed the cashier the money for the roses, I noticed he was a little teary too. As I said goodbye to him and began to walk away, I found the woman holding the roses and staring at me at the gate.
