26、Sustainability(可持续性), one of the biggest topics of the last decade, has become the ray of hope to protect the planet. It's a topic we can't ignore and we must act now in a more sustainable way.

What does that mean for the world of technology? E-waste is one of the planet's biggest contributing waste problems.

Not only e-waste, but the materials that go into tech products are part of the problem. Take the smartphone industry for example, dozens of metals, minerals which have to be taken from the earth(including 16 of 17 rare metals) go into making phones. And with demand for mobile phones bigger than ever, it's a problem that needs to be solved.

With a challenge comes an opportunity, and there's already some progress happening - great news for those of us wanting to be more sustainable with our tech. People used to turn their noses up at the idea of a second-hand product, but there's been a huge increase in demand for refurbished tech(翻新技术). For example, refurbished smartphone sales in the US have risen by 28% in the last 12 months while brand new sales have fallen by 21%.

Many communities are making an effort to deal with e-waste as well. Cities, schools, or churches will sometimes hold events to collect e-waste and send it to recycling centers. Some companies even offer buy-back programs where people will be given cash if they turn in old devices.

So the next time you want to deal with your e-waste, whether a smartphone, a laptop, an MP4 player or other, consider the more environmentally-friendly choices. It is possible to be sustainable with your tech after all.

【1】What is the main purpose of paragraph 1?

B．E-waste can't be dealt with in the end.

C．People act in a more sustainable way than before.

D．People would choose second-hand products in the past.

【3】Which of the following can be e-waste EXCEPT?

D．smartphones

【4】Which word best describes the author's attitude to sustainability?

A．Doubtful.

B．Unclear,

C．Negative.

27、The 15-year-old actor Reese Hartwig stars in this summer’s newest movie, Earth to Echo. Recently Jack and Jill interviewed this kid actor.

JJ: How did you get started in acting?

Reese: My family and I moved from Arizona to California because my dad worked for a company that provides cars for movies like Transformers. He was already in the business. When we came to California, I decided to give acting a shot.  

JJ: How was your first audition (试演)?

Reese: My brother Ryan and I auditioned in the same building and on his birthday. Our agent said, “Why don’t you each try out for both parts? ” I ended up booking the part he went in for, and he booked mine. That’s how it started.

JJ: Is acting your dream job?

Reese: I’ve always wanted to be a plastic surgeon (整形外科医生), but I will need money from acting to get through college and medical school. Acting has been really fun, but you need a backup plan just in case.

JJ: Tell us about your new movie:   Earth to Echo.

Reese: The movie’s about three friends who live in a neighborhood that’s being torn down to build a freeway. Soon, the friends begin receiving strange messages on their cell phones. It turns out they find an alien, Echo, and try to help the alien and save the neighborhood.

JJ: How was this — your first big acting role — different from other projects you’ve done?

Reese: Very different. The movie was filmed as if we, the characters, were holding the cameras and filming the scenes. It was an interesting shooting scene with the alien, Echo, because you acted with an inanimate (无生命的) object, and then the technical staff developed the character on the computer.

28、Lauren Elizabeth Pirie Bath, until a few years ago, was a chef, and a happy one at that time, but she wanted more out of life. She decided to travel. At that time, Lauren discovered blogging and found that she took pretty good pictures. So she decided to post pictures on her blog. In less than 18 months, there were over 200,000 people reading her blog! At first, Lauren only regarded it as a hobby, but companies started paying her to take photos and publish them. In 2013, she was determined to make her dream come true: to become Australia’s first professional photo blogger. It was a challenging job, but she did it. Now Lauren spends three weeks out of every month travelling and has over 464,000 fans following her online.

First visiting Western Australia for work in 2013, Lauren fell in love with northern WA and has been back six times. She has made over 140 work trips, but the best work trip ever was to Broome in the Kimberley region.

“It is extremely beautiful and I can experience the indigenous Australia there more than anywhere else. The Kimberley region, in particular, is unique and untouched.” She told the interviewer, and as a photographer, Lauren loves the bright light and amazing colours: red rocks, green plants, blue-green waters and blue skies.

To work full time in travel, she has to love nature and tries to take every opportunity to get outside and admire the natural world. She loves to photograph the rising sun, as well as enjoys photo graphing animals such as dolphins and kangaroos.

Lauren uses the photography to make an impact on people, especially when it comes to environmental issues. Today she has been photographing a crocodile swimming close to the boat the Kimberley Quest all day. When she posts the picture online, she will make a comment about how bad it is to feed wild crocodiles. This crocodile is used to passengers throwing food from boats and now she is becoming familiar with humans. Over time, this could make her a danger to people living to the area. If everyone can do something to make others aware of the problem, then that’s part of the solution.

【1】What made Lauren decide to change her job?

A．She desired to travel.

B．She wanted more out of life.

C．Companies paid her to take photos.

D．Many people read her blog in a short time.

【2】Which word has the closest meaning to the underlined word “indigenous” in Paragraph 3?

A．Foreign.

B．Native.

C．Attractive.

D．Familiar.

【3】Why does Lauren Bath post the crocodile’s picture online?

A．To tell people the crocodile is in danger.

B．To show her wonderful photographing skill.

C．To emphasize the importance of environmental protection.

D．To remind people of the consequences of feeding wild animals.

29、It was early winter several years ago. I had pulled out my old winter coat for another year’s use. It was still in pretty good shape although it was looking dirty from so many winters’ wear. I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually mentioned it to my daughter one day. She was such a sweet, loving girl that I should have guessed what would happen next. A few weeks later she gave me a new winter coat as a gift.

I put the old one in my closet and started to wear the new coat every day. Each day, though, when I opened my closet, something troubled me. It seemed a shame that my old but still good coat should just sit there keeping no one warm during the cold winter days. After a few weeks, I took it out and drove to a local charity shop. I knew that there was someone who couldn’t afford a coat but could get my old one.

My new coat is my old coat now. It is getting a little dirty and worn, too. It has black marks on the sleeves. It is in too bad shape to even donate to charity. I wonder if I should buy a new one soon, but I think I will wait for a while. I don’t really need a new one and maybe I can find something else to give to the charity shop instead.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover,” Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants then is to give instead. Love, after all, brings us the most joy. And the more of it you give away, the more of it you have.

【1】Which word can best describe the author’s daughter?

A．Thoughtful.

B．Wealthy.

C．Easy-going.

D．Hard-working.

【2】Why was the author in shame when seeing his old coat in the closet?

A．It cost too much.

B．It was looking dirty.

C．It was not sent to someone in need.

D．There was not enough room for his new coat.

【3】What is the author’s decision after his second coat becomes old?

A．Telling his daughter.

B．Buying a new one soon.

C．Sending something else to charity.

D．Donating it to charity.

【4】What does the author want to show in the last paragraph?

A．Love is the key to joy.

B．Giving fills our wants.

C．The more you give, the more you lose.

D．A coat is large enough to cover our wants

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Since the rise in popularity of MP3 players, working out has been done together with your personal music library. Whether it be running on the street on the treadmill or lifting weights in the gym, it seems every person is wearing a set of headphones when getting up.

We all feel that certain songs help us push that little bit harder but is there any science behind that? And if so, is there a particular type of music that helps you go that extra mile? It turns out, yes. While tiredness is physical during workout, a large part is also about how the brain sees this physical tiredness.

Listening to music while training takes the brain’s concentration away from the tired body. In a sense, it fights for the attention on the fact that the body is “working out”. This leads exercise to be viewed as less tough and makes working out more enjoyable.

The kind of music you listen to can depend on the type of workout you are doing. When running on a treadmill, most people choose a faster pace of 160 beats per minute (bpm).

It also depends on the intensity of the workout and your heartbeat. For example when training starts to get to average intense levels the sweet spot is around the 120-145 bpm mark. For reference, an analysis showed that out of 74000 popular songs produced between the1960s-1990s,120 bpm was the most common. So most songs will do the trick.

What is also worth mentioning is the psychological benefits of music on the individual. You should choose songs that have particular meanings and emotional connections with individuals because they can create encouragement and get people mentally prepared for the challenges This is very important when doing strong workouts or going for personal bests on the big lifts.
