(B) Eco-Friendly 3D-Printed Clay Cups Do you like to start your day with a cup of coffee?It cheers people up and helps in burning fat.However,the hobby also brings problems.One study shows that about 50 billion single-use coffee cups are thrown away in the USevery year while another believes the number is closer to 130 million.Whatever the actual number is,it is clear that our use of coffee cups is harmful to the environment. 一 Fortunately,some companies are trying their best to solve the problem.GaeaStar is one of them.It is trying to create single-use clay coffee cups to take the place of plastic ones. The cups are suitable for both cold and hot drinks.They are made of clay,water and salt, so they will produce no waste.You ev Jon't need to throw the cups into a rubbish bin. You can simply throw them onto theound and smash them.After all,they come from earth and return to earth in the same form.Recycling is no longer required./ In fact,the idea of using clay as a solution to the problem isn't new.But GaeaStar connects it with new technology.Using 3D-printers,it can make the cup within 10 seconds.Its CEO says that printing a day cup uses 60%less energy than creating a plastic or paper cup.This is an example of how new technology brings old ideas back to life. If you are interested in GaeaStar's special cups,visit the Verve Coffee Shop in California!

In 1950,Chen was born into a poor family in Fujian Province.After finishing junior high school,she became a factory worker in Jiangxi Province. At the age of 40,Chen decided to make a change.She started to learn simple English by watching TV.Then she passed an exam and studied in Jiangxi Open University for more than a year.After that,as she hoped,she got a job in an international trade company.There she worked until her retirement. In 2008,Chen came to Beijing to help care for her granddaughter,as many Chinese grandparents do.She found 798 Art District close to their home,and it seemed like a good place for a walk with her granddaughter.Knowing nothing about art,Chen was still amazed by the exhibitions.She became a member of the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art(UCCA)in the heart of the district and came here more than 40 times a year. With a great interest in art,Chen kept leaming and finally became an artge age of 67.Over the past years,she has volunteered for over 3,500 hours a UCC She has even been an English guide for foreign visitors to the center. Now,Chen is one of the most popular guides at UCCA.Many people get the center to book her tours."I don't feel tired.Every tour is a beautifuljoue new chance to learn,"said the73-year-old.She believes that the width oi cucs life ca expanded through learning. )41.Where did Chen Shaoqin work until she retired?

(D) Is there a connection between music and language?According to recent studies,the answer is yes:46. Here,we look at two examples. A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability.47. The people in the first group were musicians,while those in the second group had no musical training.The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly. 48. _Think about violinists in an orchestra(管弦乐团).When the violinists play with the group,they hear their own instrument and many others,too.But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing,and pay no attention t the other sounds.In this way,musicians are able to focus on certain sounds,even in a room with lots of noise. Gotfried Schlaug,a doctor at Harvard Medical School,works with stroke()patients. Because of their illness,these people cannot say their names,addresses or other information normally.However,they can still sing.49. Why does this work?Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work,including the damaged part. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again. Music improves concentration(注意力)，memory,listening skills and our language abilities.50. Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp as we get older.Music is not only enjoyable,it's also good for us in many other ways. 根据短文内容，‘从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余 选项。 A.It can even help sick people get better. B.Music improves certain language abilities in the brain. C.The violinists develop their memories by playing the violin. D.He was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak. E.Musicians hear better because they learned to pay attention to certain sounds F.In his study,two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. 第Ⅱ卷 V综合运用。阅读下面短文，根据上下文或者括号内提示，用单词的正确形式填空(15 分) When kids sit down to eat lunch at school,they may not choose fruit at first.A new study has found that kids are more possible to pick up those 51.(health)foods with more time at the lunch table.So if we want to improve 52.children)nutrition()and health, giving them a longer school lunch time can help achieve this goal.
