The watching children were as disappointed as he was. They looked at each other and spoke softly so he couldn’t hear. “Is that all?” “Is he giving up?” But Mark wasn’t giving up. He rested on the hot sand. He ate some chocolate biscuits and fed energy back into his body. Slowly his strength and determination returned. “Would the crayfish(鳌虾) still be there?” He wondered. Mark knew crayfish usually hid in the darkness beneath rocks, only coming out at night to feed. How long would his crayfish remain there before it went back under the rocks? Mark forced himself to be patient. He lay on his back in the sun, eyes closed, nearly asleep. Excitement and speed would only waste energy. Finally Mark rose and went back into the water. The children, watching from the shore, were silent. They waited, twisting(缠绕) curls of hair in their fingers, digging their teeth into their knees. Out in the bay, the crayfish was still there. Its feelers moved in the currents(水流). Mark took long, slow, deep breaths. He cheered himself up with encouraging words, “I can do it. I can.

Don’t dive until everything feels right,” he spoke to himself calmly, and he felt the confidence building up inside him. “I can do it. I can do it.” He felt good. It was going to be a good dive.

B Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) When a new cell phone starts to be sold in stores, many people rush out to buy one. We all want the newest, latest thing. But what should we do with our old cell phones? Mike Townsend works at Total Recall, a cell phone recycling company. “Don’t throw your old phone away. Send it to us and we’ll recycle it,” he says. “ If you throw it away, it goes with other rubbish to become landfill. In other words, it is put in a big hole in the ground—and it becomes a big problem.” Cell phones contain some toxic materials (有毒物质), like lead, mercury and cadmium. If your phone goes to a landfill, these toxic materials can get out and get into the water under the ground. That’s the water we want to drink or the water that goes into rivers or the ocean. Millions of cell phones are thrown away every year. “At Total Recall, we take the old phones apart. Most of the materials in a cell phone can be recycled and used again,” explains Mike. “We sell the parts and they are used to make new products. For example, phone batteries contain nickel and cadmium. The nickel is used to make steel, and the cadmium can be used to make new batteries. The plastic cases of the phones are made into plastic fence posts.” Mike says recycling your old phone is easy. “You can usually take it into a cell phone shop and they’ll send it to us.” So, before you throw your old cell phone away, use it one last time: search for a cell phone recycling company near you and give them a call. 41. Total Recall is a company which ________. A. sells new cell phones B. recycles old cell phones C. repairs old cell phones D. produces new cell phones 42. The underlined word landfill in the second paragraph probably means “________”. A. an area of land where large amounts of rubbish are buried B. an area of land that is higher than the land around it C. something used for filling holes D. something added to soil to make plants grow fast 43. What will happen if the old cell phones go to a landfill? A. They will make a big hole in the ground and cause a big problem. B. A cell phone company will reuse them again. C. They will be used to make new products in a short time. D. Toxic materials will come out and get into the water under the ground. 44. According to the passage, most of the materials can be recycled except ________. A. cadmium B. mercury C. plastic cases D. nickel 45. The right ways to deal with the old cell phones are to ________. ① break the old phones into pieces ② take them into a cell phone shop ③ throw them with other rubbish ④ call for a cell phone recycling company A. ① ② B. ② ③ C. ① ④ D. ② ④ 46. Which is the best title for the passage above? A. Don’t use old cell phones B. Take care of old cell phones C. New lives of old cell phones D. Changes of old cell phones C Is fake grass better than a living grass lawn? What do you need to know? · Fake grass is made from different types of plastics and used in gardens as well as sports grounds. · More and more people are using fake grass to replace living grass lawns (草坪) and cover other outdoor spaces. · One company selling fake grass has sold 50% more compared with last year. · Some people think fake grass is bad for wildlife and the environment, and mustn’t be sold. Environment protectors’ opinion There has been a large rise in the number of fake lawns. Environment protectors say fake grass lawns destroy (破坏) wildlife habitats (栖息地) at a time when we should be trying to improve the environment, which is not friendly to animals, birds or insects like bees which are important to us. However, looking after a garden can be hard work, which not everybody is willing or able to do. LAST WEEK’S POLL (投票) Last week, we asked if fake grass was better than a real lawn. Most readers said they preferred the natural kind of green space, especially because it’s much better for wildlife. Yes—fake grass makes gardening easy Fake grass not only looks tidier, it’s also easier to care for, especially for people who find gardening difficult or boring. Fake grass can be swept and cleaned, but a natural lawn needs mowing (修剪), weeding (除草) and watering, which takes effort and isn’t always good for the environment. A fake grass lawn looks fresh, bright and colourful in a shady (背阴的) outdoor space. No—fake grass should be replaced with real grass Gardens bring all kinds of nature into our lives. Birds can peck (啄食) through lawns for bugs and worms, and underground wildlife will not be starved of food. Plastic grass also heats up more than a natural lawn. In warm weather, it can be too hot for bare (光脚的) feet or paws to stand on. Also, there is now no easy way to recycle plastic lawns, so most will end up in rubbish dumps (堆). One of the best things about real grass gardens is that it’s rewarding (值得做的). You can’t plant flowers on a plastic lawn. Even a tiny real grass lawn—which provides food for birds and a home for insects, plants and other wildlife—is better than a fake, plastic one. 47 What does the word “fake” mean in the passage? A. Colourful. B. Unreal. C. Wild. D. Living. 48. What do 11% of the readers in the poll probably think of fake grass? A. It looks untidy and hard to care for. B. It makes gardening difficult or boring. C It takes effort to mow. weed and water. D. It makes shady space bright. 49. What do 89% of the readers in the poll probably think of fake grass? A. Friendly to wildlife. B. Hot for bare feet in warm days. C. Rewarding. D. Easy to recycle. 50. Which is mentioned in the passage? A Fake grass can be used indoors too. B. 50% more companies sold fake grass last year. C. Some people think fake grass mustn’t be sold. D. Everybody is willing to use fake grass. 51. Which is the main idea of the passage? A. What is fake grass? B. Gardening is hard work. C. Fake grass is better than a living grass lawn. D. People have different opinions about fake grass. D These days, a game called Treasure Find is getting popular among young people in some western countries. Would you like to have a try? What is Treasure Find? In a Treasure Find activity, you look for treasures in a city. They create each Treasure Find activity to help you explore （探索） a city and to learn about its most famous sights. How does it work? It’s better to explore in a group. So find a team of three or four people first. To begin your trip, you must download the Treasure Find app. Then touch “start” and the app will give you directions to your first place. Follow the directions to that place. They’re usually important buildings or city parks. Once you arrive, you’ll get information about the place. You only have 30 seconds to study the information, and then you’ll get a test. If you pass the test, you can get easy directions to the next place. If not, the directions can be difficult. How do you win? To win, your team has to go from place to place quickly. Once you get to the last place, there is a Treasure Find sign. Stand next to it and take a photo. Send your photo through the Treasure Find app. The app marks your time and sends a message to the winning team. The team gets a great prize. Treasure Find is a wonderful game that offers people chances to know about a city in a short time.

The watching children were as disappointed as he was. They looked at each other and spoke softly so he couldn’t hear. “Is that all?” “Is he giving up?” But Mark wasn’t giving up. He rested on the hot sand. He ate some chocolate biscuits and fed energy back into his body. Slowly his strength and determination returned. “Would the crayfish(鳌虾) still be there?” He wondered. Mark knew crayfish usually hid in the darkness beneath rocks, only coming out at night to feed. How long would his crayfish remain there before it went back under the rocks? Mark forced himself to be patient. He lay on his back in the sun, eyes closed, nearly asleep. Excitement and speed would only waste energy. Finally Mark rose and went back into the water. The children, watching from the shore, were silent. They waited, twisting(缠绕) curls of hair in their fingers, digging their teeth into their knees. Out in the bay, the crayfish was still there. Its feelers moved in the currents(水流). Mark took long, slow, deep breaths. He cheered himself up with encouraging words, “I can do it. I can. I can do it.” Over and over he told himself, hoping his mind would get the idea and believe it. Down he dived. Down. Down. Down. Lungs bursting, ears popping, eyes painful. Nearly there.

Take your time. Prepare yourself. Don’t dive until everything feels right,’ he spoke to himself calmly, and he felt the confidence building up inside him. ‘I can do it.

We all want the newest, latest thing. But what should we do with our old cell phones? Mike Townsend works at Total Recall, a cell phone recycling company. “Don’t throw your old phone away. Send it to us and we’ll recycle it,” he says. “ If you throw it away, it goes with other rubbish to become landfill. In other words, it is put in a big hole in the ground—and it becomes a big problem.” Cell phones contain some toxic materials (有毒物质), like lead, mercury and cadmium. If your phone goes to a landfill, these toxic materials can get out and get into the water under the ground. That’s the water we want to drink or the water that goes into rivers or the ocean. Millions of cell phones are thrown away every year. “At Total Recall, we take the old phones apart. Most of the materials in a cell phone can be recycled and used again,” explains Mike. “We sell the parts and they are used to make new products. For example, phone batteries contain nickel and cadmium. The nickel is used to make steel, and the cadmium can be used to make new batteries. The plastic cases of the phones are made into plastic fence posts.” Mike says recycling your old phone is easy. “You can usually take it into a cell phone shop and they’ll send it to us.” So, before you throw your old cell phone away, use it one last time: search for a cell phone recycling company near you and give them a call. 41. Total Recall is a company which ________. A. sells new cell phones B. recycles old cell phones C. repairs old cell phones D. produces new cell phones 42. The underlined word landfill in the second paragraph probably means “________”. A. an area of land where large amounts of rubbish are buried B. an area of land that is higher than the land around it C. something used for filling holes D. something added to soil to make plants grow fast 43. What will happen if the old cell phones go to a landfill? A. They will make a big hole in the ground and cause a big problem. B. A cell phone company will reuse them again. C. They will be used to make new products in a short time. D. Toxic materials will come out and get into the water under the ground. 44. According to the passage, most of the materials can be recycled except ________. A. cadmium B. mercury C. plastic cases D. nickel 45. The right ways to deal with the old cell phones are to ________. ① break the old phones into pieces ② take them into a cell phone shop ③ throw them with other rubbish ④ call for a cell phone recycling company A. ① ② B. ② ③ C. ① ④ D. ② ④ 46. Which is the best title for the passage above? A. Don’t use old cell phones B. Take care of old cell phones C. New lives of old cell phones D. Changes of old cell phones 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. D 44. B 45. D 46. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了扔掉旧手机的危害以及如何处理旧手机。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Mike Townsend works at Total Recall, a cell phone recycling company. ”可知，Total Recall是一家回收旧手机的公司。故选B。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“In other words, it is put in a big hole in the ground”可知，如果你把手机扔掉，它就会和其他垃圾放在地上的一个大洞里，这就是掩埋大量垃圾的地方。故选A。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If your phone goes to a landfill, these toxic materials can get out and get into the water under the ground. ”可知，如果你的手机被扔进垃圾填埋场，这些有毒物质可能会流出并进入地下的水中。故选D。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“For example, phone batteries contain nickel and cadmium. The nickel is used to make steel, and the cadmium can be used to make new batteries. The plastic cases of the phones are made into plastic fence posts.”可知，镍和镉以及塑料外壳都可以被回收，但是汞不可以，故选B。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据“You can usually take it into a cell phone shop and they’ll send it to us.”和“So, before you throw your old cell phone away, use it one last time: search for a cell phone recycling company near you and give them a call.”可知，可以把手机带去手机店或者打电话给手机回收公司。故选D。 【46题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了扔掉旧手机的危害以及如何处理旧手机，所以C选项“旧手机的新生活”最恰当，故选C。 C Is fake grass better than a living grass lawn? What do you need to know? · Fake grass is made from different types of plastics and used in gardens as well as sports grounds. · More and more people are using fake grass to replace living grass lawns (草坪) and cover other outdoor spaces. · One company selling fake grass has sold 50% more compared with last year. · Some people think fake grass is bad for wildlife and the environment, and mustn’t be sold. Environment protectors’ opinion There has been a large rise in the number of fake lawns. Environment protectors say fake grass lawns destroy (破坏) wildlife habitats (栖息地) at a time when we should be trying to improve the environment, which is not friendly to animals, birds or insects like bees which are important to us. However, looking after a garden can be hard work, which not everybody is willing or able to do. LAST WEEK’S POLL (投票) Last week, we asked if fake grass was better than a real lawn. Most readers said they preferred the natural kind of green space, especially because it’s much better for wildlife. Yes—fake grass makes gardening easy Fake grass not only looks tidier, it’s also easier to care for, especially for people who find gardening difficult or boring. Fake grass can be swept and cleaned, but a natural lawn needs mowing (修剪), weeding (除草) and watering, which takes effort and isn’t always good for the environment. A fake grass lawn looks fresh, bright and colourful in a shady (背阴的) outdoor space. No—fake grass should be replaced with real grass Gardens bring all kinds of nature into our lives. Birds can peck (啄食) through lawns for bugs and worms, and underground wildlife will not be starved of food. Plastic grass also heats up more than a natural lawn. In warm weather, it can be too hot for bare (光脚的) feet or paws to stand on. Also, there is now no easy way to recycle plastic lawns, so most will end up in rubbish dumps (堆). One of the best things about real grass gardens is that it’s rewarding (值得做的). You can’t plant flowers on a plastic lawn. Even a tiny real grass lawn—which provides food for birds and a home for insects, plants and other wildlife—is better than a fake, plastic one. 47. What does the word “fake” mean in the passage? A. Colourful. B. Unreal. C. Wild. D. Living. 48. What do 11% of the readers in the poll probably think of fake grass? A. It looks untidy and hard to care for. B It makes gardening difficult or boring. C. It takes effort to mow. weed and water. D. It makes shady space bright. 49. What do 89% of the readers in the poll probably think of fake grass? A. Friendly to wildlife. B. Hot for bare feet in warm days. C. Rewarding. D. Easy to recycle. 50. Which is mentioned in the passage? A. Fake grass can be used indoors too. B. 50% more companies sold fake grass last year. C. Some people think fake grass mustn’t be sold. D. Everybody is willing to use fake grass. 51. Which is the main idea of the passage? A. What is fake grass? B. Gardening is hard work. C. Fake grass is better than a living grass lawn. D. People have different opinions about fake grass. 【答案】47. B 48. D 49. B 50. C 51.
