21、some years back,nobody paid much attention to the waste in homes and landfills.It became so vast that the government started getting concerned the phenomenon could create a disaster.A solution had to be found,but one that is kind to humans and the environment.【1】.Below are the reasons why we need to recycle.
Conserve natural resources
【2】.If a lot of pressure is put on these natural resources,they might be run out of fast.The only way to stop the pressure applied to these resources is recycling.According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency,recycling one ton of paper saves up about 17 trees as well as 7 tons of water.
Reduce carbon emissions
Recycling greatly minimizes carbon emissions,commonly referred to as greenhouse gases.【3】,they would end up being burned,giving out dangerous greenhouse gases.Whatever your opinion on global warming,a lot of people agree to the idea that everyone needs to play a role in minimizing the effects of pollution and emissions.
【4】
Recycling has been proved to save up lots of energy.Companies that use recycled aluminum save up to 95% energy during production of aluminum products when compared to companies that source raw materials.
One person can make a big difference
Most people have already made up their minds that one person cannot make any difference in regard to recycling waste.That thinking might apply in other fields.In recycling,an individual can make a big difference.Averagely,every American produces about 1,600 pounds of waste every year.Up to 1,100 pounds of waste is able to be recycled every year per person.【5】.

22、Steve Jobs knew from an early age that he was adopted (收养). “My parents were very open with me about that,” he recalled. He had a clear memory of sitting in the yard of his house, when he was six or seven years old, telling the girl who lived across the street. “Does that mean your real parents didn’t want you?” the girl asked. “My whole world was falling apart,” according to Jobs. “I remember running into the house, crying. And my parents said, ‘No, you have to understand.’ They were very serious and looked me straight in the eyes. They said, ‘We specially picked you out.’ Both of my parents said that and repeated it slowly for me. And they stressed every word in that sentence.”
Abandoned (被抛弃). Chosen. Special. These words became part of who Jobs was and how he thought of himself. His closest friends think that the knowledge that he was given up at birth left some scars (伤疤). “He wants to control everything because of his personality and the fact that he was abandoned at birth,” said one longtime colleague (同事), Del Yocam.“He wants to control his environment, and he sees his product as a part of himself.” Greg Calhoun, who became close to Jobs right after college, saw another effect. “Steve talked to me a lot about being abandoned,” he said. “It caused great pains and made him independent. He was different from others because he was born into a different world.”
Later in life, Jobs became a father and abandoned one of his children. Andy Hertzfeld, who worked with Jobs at Apple in the early 1980s, is among the few who remained close to Jobs. “To understand Jobs, you have to know the reason why he can’t control himself and is sometimes cruel and harmful to others,” he said. “That goes back to being abandoned at birth. The real problem was the theme of abandonment in Steve’s life.”
【1】Which of the following is true about Jobs’ childhood?
A. He left his parents at the age of six or seven.
B. He was shocked knowing he was abandoned.
C. He couldn’t remember how he was abandoned.
D. His parents chose him because his family was poor.
【2】What did Del Yocam think of Jobs?
A. He hated to be born with scars.
B. He liked to get things under control.
C. He enjoyed good working environment.
D. He wanted to influence everyone.
【3】What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to?
A. The fact that Jobs was abandoned.
B. Jobs’ pain from the abandonment.
C. Jobs’ talk with Greg Calhoun.
D. The world where Jobs lived.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Jobs didn’t bring up any children.
B. Jobs had a lot of close friends.
C. Abandonment influenced Jobs.
D. Nobody likes Jobs’ character.
【5】What is the best title for this text?
A. Steve Jobs B. Jobs’ Childhood
C. The Abandonment D. A Terrible Memory
23、 Sleepiness and boredom lead to yawning (打哈欠), so it has long been believed that the action makes us feel more awake by stretching the muscles surrounding the lungs, or by bringing more oxygen to the blood and the brain. Yet in tests, breathing air with high levels of carbon dioxide or even pure oxygen made no difference to the frequency of yawns.
Another theory, proposed by the French physician Olivier, is that yawning improves the circulation of the fluid (液体) that surrounds the brain. As a result, we can focus better on a task. This might explain why athletes often yawn naturally before they compete.
Recently, though, a new explanation has appeared: Yawning is a way to cool the brain. Experiments led by Gordon Gallup at the University at Albany showed that people yawned far less when their head was cooled by a cold pack compared with holding a heated pack to their forehead The temperature of the brain rises when we are tired, so it is possible that yawning is a way to protect the brain from overheating due to tiredness.
But a strange thing is that when we see another person yawn, we catch it too. In other words, yawning is contagious.
How can we make sense of these different types of yawning? It’s possible that contagious yawning is something different, and might have a social purpose. Steven Palek and his colleagues at the University at Albany say that contagious yawning may be linked to our ability to understand what others want to do. If you are good at reading others’ facial expressions you are more likely to “catch” a yawn. Therefore, lonely people tend to be less affected by yawing, according to research by Atsushi Senju, now at Birkbeck, University of London.
So the simple act of yawning tursout to be surprisingly complex Has this research made you yawn yet?
【1】Based on the theory of Olivier, yawning ________.
A.is caused by lack of sleep
B.contributes to concentration
C.is a way to bring more oxygen to the blood
D.increases the circulation of the fluid in lungs
【2】The underlined word “contagious” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________.
A.Infectious B.Influential
C. Attractive D.Comfortable
【3】How is the passage mainly developed?
A.By making comparisons.
B.By listing different figures.
C.By providing explanations.
D.By telling personal experiences.
24、Good manners are always good manners. That’s what I, as an English, thought, until I married Alexander, who is Russian.
When I first met Alexander, he said to me in Russian, “Nalei mnye chai — pour me some tea.” I got angry and answered, “Pour it yourself.” Translated into English, without a “Could you...?” and a “please”, it sounded really rude to me. But in Russian it was fine — you don’t have to add any polite words.
However, when I took Alexander home to meet my parents in the U.K., I had to give him an intensive course in pleases and thank yous (which he thought were completely unnecessary), and to teach him to say sorry if someone else stepped on his toes, and to smile, smile, smile.
Another thing that Alexander just couldn’t understand was why people said things like “Would you mind passing me the salt, please?” He said, “It’s only the salt, for goodness’ sake! What do you say in English if you want a real favor?”
He also watched in amazement when, at a dinner party in England, we swallowed some really disgusting food and I said, “Mmmm ... Delicious.” In Russia, people are much more direct. The first time Alexander’s mother came to our house for dinner in Moscow, she told me that my soup needed more flavoring. Afterward, when we argued about it, my husband said, “Do you prefer your dinner guests to lie?”
Alexander complained that in England he felt like “the village idiot” because in Russia if you smile all the time people think you are mad. In fact, this is exactly what my husband’s friends thought of me the first time I went to Russia because I smiled at everyone, and translated every “please” and “thank you” from English to Russian!
At home we now have an agreement. If we’re speaking Russian, he can say “Pour me some tea”, and just make a noise like a grunt(哼哼声) when I give it to him. But when we’re speaking English, he has to add a “please”, a “thank you”, and a smile.
【1】Why was the author worried when she took Alexander to visit her parents in England?
A. She was afraid that Alexander would think her parent were too proud.
B. She feared that her parents would think Alexander was impolite.
C. She thought that they would not able to communicate.
D. She believed that Alexander would dislike them.
【2】What did Alexander’s friends think of the author when they first met her?
A. She did not understand Russian customers.
B. She was mad.
C. She was very affected(做作的).
D. She was too polite.
【3】Which of the following word best describes the agreement reached by the author and her husband in the final paragraph?
A. An effect. B. A contract(合同). C. A compromise. D. An explanation.
【4】What is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Culture Shock B. Learning Manners
C. Unhappy Marriage D. Good Manners Are Easy

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The Gift of Kindness
Will, a nine-year-old boy, was such a kind soul that he brought home birds with broken wings. Money was very short for his family because his mother was ill. Every weekend, Will would mow his neighbors lawns to earn a little money.
One hot dry morning, on his way to school, Will saw a man sitting on the roadside with his head in his hands. Not far away was his truck. Previously, the man spared no efforts in repairing it, but he failed, exhausted and thirsty. Will came up to him, ready to help.
Hearing Will’s greeting, the man raised his head, looked at Will and asked for some water. Learning that he had even not had breakfast, Will walked into a shop, fingering the money in his pocket. Eventually, he picked up sandwiches and water. They cost all his money! He shrugged, walked back and handed him the food.
The man received the supplies gratefully and they shared the brief meal while introducing themselves. Allan, a boss with a small factory who delivered goods by himself, smiled,” The delivering job is so tiring that nobody seems to want it. By the way, thank you for your food. I’m sorry that I forget to take money with me today. I’ll..”
“It’s OK. My mom always says we should be kind to the world, and the world will be kind to you!” Will shrugged, “As for the job, don’t worry. There must be someone wanting to take it.”
“Perhaps. Today, I feel kindness in the world like your mom says. Maybe she is the one the world has been kind to.” Allan commented.
Will lowered his head, explaining quietly his mother’s situation and his father’s just being out of work because of the bankrupt of the company. Will pointed at a house. “My dad says we’ll have to sell it to pay for mom’s treatment. Sometimes, I hope the world could be kind to our family soon.” Tears rolled down Will’s cheeks and Allan patted his back gently. But soon, Will wiped his face, shouldered his school bag, waved goodbye to Allan and rushed for school, never imagining he would see Allan ever again.
Allan stared at Will’s fading figure, lost in thought.
