A new study from the University of Southampton has shown that glass bottles are more than four times as environmentally damaging as plastic bottles. The researchers explained that the production of glass bottles involves much greater amounts of energy and natural resources.
Most current research focuses on the bad impact of plastic, which also requires a lot of energy to mass-produce, and breaks down into smaller particles (微粒) that are affecting natural environments worldwide. However, according to the new study, glass bottles’ total environmental impacts are much bigger than plastic bottles, when certain factors are accounted for, such as their contribution to climate change through overmuch energy use.
“A large amount of energy is needed to heat the raw materials to make glass,“ explained study co-author and postgraduate researcher Alice Brock. “During the melting of the raw materials for glass, gas pollutants (污染物) such as SO2 and CO2 can be released,” said Brock. “And since glass requires raw materials to be mined for its production - silica sand, soda ash and dolomite. All of these have the associated environmental impacts on mine such as land degradation (退化) and dust from the mines reaching water sources.” According to Brock, silica sand mine can also cause silicosis, a disease caused by tiny silica particles reaching lungs, so there is also a considerable impact on human health.
The major advantage of glass over plastic is that it is more durable (耐用的). A glass bottle can be reused between 12 and 20 times. Unfortunately, glass bottles are often thrown away after a single use. “I think we really have to move to use bottles and cans more than once. Just recycling isn’t enough, said Brock, “We need to change our mindset.”
4. What is the most current research mainly about?
A. The total energy consumption of making plastic.
B. The detailed production process of plastic.
C. Plastic’s popularity in people’s daily life.
D. Plastic’s negative impacts on the environment.
5. Why is the mining of raw materials mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To indicate the complex process of making glass.
B. To stress the importance of the quality of raw materials.
C. To warn people to reduce the frequency of mining.
D. To show its damage to the environment and people’s health.
6. What’s Alice Brock’s suggestion based on the new study?
A. Reusing glass bottles as much as possible.
B. Finding alternatives to the raw materials for glass.
C. Improving the technology of treating used bottles.
D. Replacing glass bottles with plastic ones.
7. Which section of a magazine does the text probably come from?
A. Geography. B. Healthcare. C. Economy. D. Environment.

Natalie Doan 14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.
October 29, that ocean turned fierce (激烈的) . That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family ran away to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed.
When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the old. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to go to a school in Brooklyn.
In the following few days, the men and women, who helped Rockaway recover, encouraged Natalie. Volunteers came with lots of clothing and toys. Neighbors offered their spare time to help others rebuild. Teenagers climbed stairs to deliver water and food to people trapped in powerless high buildings.
“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.”
Natalie’s choice was to help.
She created a website page matching survivors in need with people who wanted to help. In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person.
Today,the scars of destruction (破坏) are still seen in Rockaway,but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie says.“My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”

Social media use has been linked to depression, especially in teenagers. But a new study argues that the issue may be more complex than experts think.
The research involved interviews with 10,000 teenagers in England. “We find social media itself doesn’t cause harm, but that frequent use may disrupt (扰乱) activities that impact mental health, such as sleeping and exercising, while increasing exposure of young people to harmful content, particularly cyberbullying (网络欺凌),” study co-author Russell Viner said in a statement.
Bob Patton, a lecturer of the University of Surrey, said this means strategies focusing only on reducing social media use to improve mental health might not help. He said, “Building strategies to increase resilience (适应力) to cyberbullying and promote better sleep and exercise is needed to reduce psychological (心理的) harm.”
The research was conducted by interviewing teenagers once a year. They would report the frequency of their using social media. More than three times daily was considered “very frequent”. The researchers noted that they did not capture how much time the participants spent on these websites, which was a limitation of the study. “For boys, the impact on their mental health may result from other reasons,” the authors said.
The researchers found that, in both sexes, “very frequent” social media use was associated with greater psychological harm. The effect was especially clear among girls: The more often they checked social media, the greater their psychological harm was.
But most impact on psychological harm in girls could be accounted for by lower sleep quality and greater exposure to cyberbullying, with decreased physical activities playing a lesser role. But for boys, those factors explained only 12% of the effects of very frequent social media use on psychological harm.
“It’s an important distinction,” said Ann DeSmet, a professor at Ghent University in Belgium. “If healthy lifestyles can be replaced, the positive effects of social media use, such as encouraging social interactions, can be more supported.”
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The risk of cyberbullying. B. The content of the interview.
C. The findings of the research. D. The functions of social media.
13. What did Bob Patton mainly tell us?
A. The need to fight against mental harm. B. The impact of social media use on people.
C. The benefit of limiting social media use. D. The proper way to improve mental health.
14. What can we know about the research?
A. It had shortcomings. B. It needed more attention.
C. It was the first in its field. D. It was difficult to carry out.
15. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?
A. The research on teenage boys B. Social media use influences girls especially
C. The harm of using social media D. Social interactions are encouraged

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Different Culture Makes Our Life Interesting
Culture often refers to things like food, holidays, clothing, and music, but it also goes much deeper than that. ___16___ So when we meet people from different backgrounds, we can sometimes find that there are big differences in how we see the world, even if we speak the same language.
One of the best ways to understand others’ cultures is to first examine your own. Do you take your shoes off when you go inside? ___17___ In Japan, you would never go inside without swapping your outdoor shoes for slippers, whereas in the US, many people don’t bother taking their shoes off when they come in. Therefore, it’s so important to understand your place in the world, which will help you understand other people better too.
___18___ When you meet people from a different culture you can politely ask them about their lives. Seek out books or watch movies by and about people who’re different from you. Additionally, you can immerse (沉浸) yourself in a different culture through travel to understand how different other lifestyles can be.
However, sometimes, learning a lot about a different culture can lead you into a trap. You may think you know much about a culture, which may lead you to show off your knowledge when you meet someone from that background. But it’s a problem to assume that everyone from one particular culture has the same attitudes and experiences. Your assumptions that lead you to pre-judge against others can be harmful. ___19___
Differences between us are what make life so interesting. So accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures. ___20___
On the one hand, ask questions if your friends are open to it, but on the other hand, you can also learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique.
A. To achieve it, do strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation.
B. Learning is another great way to understand different cultures.
C. Wherever you live, there are probably immigrant communities (移民团体)with their own customs.
D. The more you learn,the more you get used to respecting cultural differences
E. So don’t do it to others even if you understand their culture really well.
F. It is a simple thing, but it’s a huge marker of different culture!
G. Behaviors, customs, beliefs, and values are also part of your culture.

Could you tell me how you ______30______ to wear a smile despite all your sufferings?” The man said smilingly, “I’m afraid you’ve turned to the ______31______ person. I have never ______32______ any difficulty so far. My luck has always been good. This is the ______33______. How can I teach you how to smile always in difficulty?”

A new study from the University of Southampton has shown that glass bottles are more than four times as environmentally damaging as plastic bottles. The researchers explained that the production of glass bottles involves much greater amounts of energy and natural resources.

The research involved interviews with 10,000 teenagers in England. “We find social media itself doesn’t cause harm, but that frequent use may disrupt (扰乱) activities that impact mental health, such as sleeping and exercising, while increasing exposure of young people to harmful content, particularly cyberbullying (网络欺凌),” study co-author Russell Viner said in a statement.
Bob Patton, a lecturer of the University of Surrey, said this means strategies focusing only on reducing social media use to improve mental health might not help. He said, “Building strategies to increase resilience (适应力) to cyberbullying and promote better sleep and exercise is needed to reduce psychological (心理的) harm.”
The research was conducted by interviewing teenagers once a year. They would report the frequency of their using social media. More than three times daily was considered “very frequent”. The researchers noted that they did not capture how much time the participants spent on these websites, which was a limitation of the study. “For boys, the impact on their mental health may result from other reasons,” the authors said.
The researchers found that, in both sexes, “very frequent” social media use was associated with greater psychological harm. The effect was especially clear among girls: The more often they checked social media, the greater their psychological harm was.
But most impact on psychological harm in girls could be accounted for by lower sleep quality and greater exposure to cyberbullying, with decreased physical activities playing a lesser role. But for boys, those factors explained only 12% of the effects of very frequent social media use on psychological harm.
“It’s an important distinction,” said Ann DeSmet, a professor at Ghent University in Belgium. “If healthy lifestyles can be replaced, the positive effects of social media use, such as encouraging social interactions, can be more supported.”
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The risk of cyberbullying. B. The content of the interview.
C. The findings of the research. D. The functions of social media.
13. What did Bob Patton mainly tell us?
A. The need to fight against mental harm. B. The impact of social media use on people.
C. The benefit of limiting social media use. D. The proper way to improve mental health.
14. What can we know about the research?
A. It had shortcomings. B. It needed more attention.
C. It was the first in its field. D. It was difficult to carry out.
15. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?
A. The research on teenage boys B. Social media use influences girls especially
C. The harm of using social media D. Social interactions are encouraged
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。研究表明,频繁地使用社交媒体会给青少年造成心理危害,尤其对女孩危害更加明显。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The research involved interviews with 10,000 teenagers in England. “We find social media itself doesn’t cause harm, but that frequent use may disrupt (扰乱) activities that impact mental health, such as sleeping and exercising, while increasing exposure of young people to harmful content, particularly cyberbullying (网络欺凌),” study co-author Russell Viner said in a statement.(这项研究采访了英国的1万名青少年。“我们发现社交媒体本身并不会造成伤害,但频繁使用社交媒体可能会干扰影响心理健康的活动,比如睡眠和锻炼,同时增加年轻人接触有害内容的机会,尤其是网络欺凌,”研究报告的合著者拉塞尔·维纳在一份声明中说)”可知,第二段主要介绍了这个研究的结果。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Bob Patton, a lecturer of the University of Surrey, said this means strategies focusing only on reducing social media use to improve mental health might not help. He said, “Building strategies to increase resilience (适应力) to cyberbullying and promote better sleep and exercise is needed to reduce psychological (心理的) harm.”(萨里大学的讲师鲍勃·巴顿说,这意味着只注重减少社交媒体使用来改善心理健康的策略可能没有帮助。他说:“为了减少心理伤害,需要制定策略来提高对网络欺凌的抵御能力,促进更好的睡眠和锻炼。”)”可知,鲍勃·巴顿主要告诉了我们改善心理健康的正确方法。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The researchers noted that they did not capture how much time the participants spent on these websites, which was a limitation of the study.(研究人员指出,他们没有捕捉到参与者在这些网站上花费了多少时间,这是这项研究的一个局限性)”可知,这个研究的局限在于它没有监测参与者上网的时间。由此推知,这个研究是有不足之处的。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Social media use has been linked to depression, especially in teenagers. But a new study argues that the issue may be more complex than experts think.(社交媒体的使用与抑郁有关,尤其是在青少年中。但一项新的研究认为,这个问题可能比专家们想象的要复杂得多)”可知,文章主要介绍了频繁地使用社交媒体尤其会给女孩造成心理危害。由此可知,文章最好的标题是“社交媒体的使用对女孩的影响尤其大”。故选B。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Different Culture Makes Our Life Interesting
Culture often refers to things like food, holidays, clothing, and music, but it also goes much deeper than that. ___16___ So when we meet people from different backgrounds, we can sometimes find that there are big differences in how we see the world, even if we speak the same language.
One of the best ways to understand others’ cultures is to first examine your own. Do you take your shoes off when you go inside? ___17___ In Japan, you would never go inside without swapping your outdoor shoes for slippers, whereas in the US, many people don’t bother taking their shoes off when they come in. Therefore, it’s so important to understand your place in the world, which will help you understand other people better too.
___18___ When you meet people from a different culture, you can politely ask them about their lives. Seek out books or watch movies by and about people who’re different from you. Additionally, you can immerse (沉浸) yourself in a different culture through travel to understand how different other lifestyles can be.
However, sometimes, learning a lot about a different culture can lead you into a trap. You may think you know much about a culture, which may lead you to show off your knowledge when you meet someone from that background. But it’s a problem to assume that everyone from one particular culture has the same attitudes and experiences. Your assumptions that lead you to pre-judge against others can be harmful. ___19___
Differences between us are what make life so interesting. So accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures. ___20___
On the one hand, ask questions if your friends are open to it, but on the other hand, you can also learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique.
A. To achieve it, do strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation.
B. Learning is another great way to understand different cultures.
C. Wherever you live, there are probably immigrant communities (移民团体)with their own customs.
D. The more you learn,the more you get used to respecting cultural differences
E. So don’t do it to others even if you understand their culture really well.
F. It is a simple thing, but it’s a huge marker of different culture!
G. Behaviors, customs, beliefs, and values are also part of your culture.
【答案】16. G 17. F 18. B 19. E 20. A
【解析】

【16题详解】

【17题详解】
根据上文“Do you take your shoes off when you go inside? (你进去的时候会脱鞋吗?)”以及下文“In Japan, you would never go inside without swapping your outdoor shoes for slippers, whereas in the US, many people don’t bother taking their shoes off when they come in. (在日本,如果你不把户外鞋换成拖鞋,你就不会进去,而在美国,很多人进来时都懒得脱鞋。)”可知,空格处是对“进门脱鞋”这件事对于不同文化的影响。选项F. It is a simple thing, but it’s a huge marker of different culture! (这是一件简单的事情,但它是不同文化的巨大标志!)能够承上启下。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据下文“When you meet people from a different culture, you can politely ask them about their lives. Seek out books or watch movies by and about people who’re different from you. Additionally, you can immerse (沉浸) yourself in a different culture through travel to understand how different other lifestyles can be. (当你遇到来自不同文化背景的人时,你可以礼貌地询问他们的生活。找一些与你不同的人写的书或看关于他们的电影。此外,你可以通过旅行沉浸在不同的文化中,了解不同的生活方式。)”可知,空格处应该总的说明的是通过学习来了解不同文化的。选项B. Learning is another great way to understand different cultures. (学习是了解不同文化的另一个好方法。)能够作为本段的主题句,引出下文。故选B。
【19题详解】
根据上文“But it’s a problem to assume that everyone from one particular culture has the same attitudes and experiences. Your assumptions that lead you to pre-judge against others can be harmful. (但是,假设来自某一特定文化的每个人都有相同的态度和经历,这是一个问题。你的假设导致你对他人的预先判断可能是有害的。)”说明的是“假设导致你对他人的预先判断可能是有害的。”可知,空格处应该说明的是与此相反的情况。选项E. So don’t do it to others even if you understand their culture really well. (所以即使你非常了解他们的文化,也不要这样对他们。)能够承接上文。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Differences between us are what make life so interesting. So accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures. (我们之间的差异使生活如此有趣。所以接受你和来自不同文化背景的朋友之间的差异。)”说明的是接受不同文化的差异,可知,空格处应说明的是怎么做。选项A. To achieve it, do strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation. (要做到这一点,一定要在好奇心和欣赏之间取得平衡。)能够承接上文。故选A。

45. to observe
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类并不是地球上唯一用投票的方式来做决策的生物,很多动物也会通过投票的方式做出集体决策。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:事实上,很多动物也会做出集体决策。,此处应填形容词various,作定语修饰名词animals。故填various。
【37题详解】
考查代词。句意:他们只是因为不同的原因而采取不同的方式来做出集体决策。空格处应填代词it搭配do代指上文提到的make a group decision这一动作。故填it。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:当寻找食物时,动物们会聚集在一起以保护自己不受猎人的伤害。空处需填非谓语动词与前面的连词when一起构成状语从句的省略,又因search和逻辑主语the animals为主谓关系,需填现在分词形式。故填searching。
【39题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:如果有三只或更多的猫鼬发出这种信号时,就可以达成加速的共识。主语agreement与reach之间为动宾关系,用被动语态;空处前面有情态动词can。故填be reached。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:一组研究动物行为的科学家发现,动物也会投票决定是否捕猎。空处引导定语从句,先行词scientists表示人,关系词在从句中作主语,需用关系代词who或that引导。故填who或that。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:狗是否真的会去打猎取决于打喷嚏的数量。空格处填the与其后的number of构成固定短语,the number of表示“……的数量”。故填the。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:就像人类一样,动物不总是会同意其他动物。短语agree with sb.意为“同意某人(的看法、说法)”。故填with。
【43题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意:但参与集体决策有利于他们的生存。空处需要谓语动词,该句主语为动名词短语joining in group decisions,视为单数,时态参考全文的一般现在时,be动词应用is。故填is。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:但参与集体决策有利于它们的生存。空格处作for的宾语,又因空格前有形容词性物主代词their修饰,所以填名词形式;survive 的名词形式survival,为抽象名词没有单复数。故填survival。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:对于我们来说,观察动物如何投票决定并团结在一起是一件非常有趣的事情。It为形式主语,空处需填非谓语动词形式做真正的主语,符合句型it is+adj. for sb. to do sth.即后面要用不定式。故填to observe。
第三节 单句填空 (共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面句子,根据句意填入单词的适当形式

【答案】belongs
【解析】
【详解】考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:他十年前买下了这所房子,所以它属于他。固定短语belong to“属于”,句子描述的是事情的一般状态,应用一般现在时,由it可知,空处应用第三人称单数形式。故填belongs。
48. Research ________ (显示) that eating habits are changing fast. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】indicates
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意:研究表明,饮食习惯正在迅速改变。根据句意和汉语提示,设空处应填动词indicate,作谓语。陈述客观存在,谓语动词应用一般现在时态。主语为Research,应用第三人称单数形式。故填indicates。
49. Tom was at home when the accident happened. So it________(have) nothing to do with him. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】had
【解析】
【详解】考查一般过去时。句意:汤姆在家里,事故发生时他并不在场,所以这与他无关。have nothing to do with是一个固定搭配,意思是“和……无关”。根据前一句的时态,整个句子都是一般过去时,故答案是had。
50. Tom explained _______ (惊慌地) why he forgot to finish the reading task. (根据汉语提示完成句子)
【答案】in panic
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语。句意:汤姆惊慌地解释他为什么忘记完成阅读任务。根据句意和空前的“explained”,空处应是作状语,修饰谓语动词explained,根据所给中文提示词,应是介词短语in panic,意为“惊慌地”。故填in panic。
51. The money will be used to repair school_______ (设施) and buy classroom materials. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】facilities
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:这笔钱将用于维修学校的设施和购买教室用品。“设施”使用名词facility在句中作宾语,为可数名词,空前没有限定词修饰,用可数名词复数形式。故填facilities。
52. I had _______ (心里发慌) while waiting for the result of my exam. (根据汉语提示完成句子)
【答案】butterflies in my stomach
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。句意:我在等待考试结果时,心里发慌。根据汉语提示“心里发慌”可知,空处应用固定短语butterflies in one’s stomach,结合句意以及主语I可知,one’s应变成my。故填butterflies in my stomach。
53. When time is up, each team member shares the findings of their experiments_______ (依次地). (根据汉语提示完成句子)
【答案】one by one
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。句意:当时间结束时,每个团队成员依次分享他们实验的结果。“依次地”译为one by one,在句中作状语。故填one by one。
54. You had ________(good) not sleep in class every day. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】better
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词。句意:你最好不要每天都在课上睡觉。题目给的提示词是good,再结合句意,可推断这道题考查了情态动词词组had better,better是good的比较级,意思是“最好”,符合题意,故答案是better。
55. If you break this rules, you will be ________(取消资格). (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】disqualified
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意:如果你违反这些规则,你将被取消资格。根据汉语提示“取消资格”和句子结构可知,此处应为动词disqualify意为“使失去资格”,you和disqualify之间是被动关系,与will be构成一般将来时的被动语态,所以设空处需填disqualify的过去分词disqualified。故填disqualified。
