However, plastic cutlery is one of the biggest causes of pollution on our earth. While people are trying different ways to reduce plastic waste in their daily life, some companies are also taking action and among them is Biofase. Recently the company has found a new way to deal with plastic pollution—they succeeded in creating single-use cutlery with avocado seeds (鳄梨种子) that can biodegrade (生物降解) in 240 days. Biofase is based in Mexico and there is one thing they can easily get their hands on-avocados. The avocado is a fruit with hard dark green skin and a large seed inside. Mexico is the world leader in avocado growing—about 50% of the world’s avocados come from the country. As many companies there process avocados to make oil, Biofase wanted to collect avocado seeds from the companies and make use of them. But it was not so easy to find a suitable way to turn them into biodegradable cutlery. The biggest challenge (挑战) was to find a way to turn the material into a desired (期望的) shape. Everything comes to him who works hard. After studying for over a year and a half, Biofase was able to make single-use cutlery with avocado seeds. Their products look no different from plastic cutlery. Kept in a fresh and dry place, they stay usable for one year, but after that, they start to biodegrade without leaving anything behind. 31. What has Biofase done to deal with plastic pollution? A. It has encouraged people to eat out. B. It has created biodegradable cutlery. C. It has grown millions of avocado plants. D. It has ordered people to reduce plastic waste. 32. How does the writer show us that Mexico is the world leader in avocado growing? A. By listing numbers. B. By giving an example. C. By comparing facts. D. By telling a story. 33. What was Biofase’s biggest problem on its way to turn avocado seeds into biodegradable cutlery? · A. Growing avocados. B. Collecting avocado seeds. C. Finding a suitable way. D. Looking for avocado plants. 34. What can we know about the avocado? A. Its seeds are the best material to make oil. B. It is popular with people around the world. C. Biofase had difficulties getting the avocado. D. Mexico is the largest producer of the avocado. 35. What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A. the avocado seeds B. the common plastic cutlery C. the cutlery made of avocado seeds D. the plastic cutlery made of avocados 【答案】31. B 32. A 33. C 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了Biofase成功发明了含有鳄梨种子的一次性餐具，来减少环境污染。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Recently the company has found a new way to deal with plastic pollution—they succeeded in creating single-use cutlery with avocado seeds (鳄梨种子) that can biodegrade (生物降解) in 240 days.”可知，该公司找到了一种处理塑料污染的新方法——他们成功地制造出了鳄梨籽一次性餐具，可以在240天内生物降解。故选B。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Mexico is the world leader in avocado growing—about 50% of the world’s avocados come from the country”可知，墨西哥是世界鳄梨种植的领导者，世界上约50%的鳄梨来自该国，所以是通过列数字来展示墨西哥是世界鳄梨种植的领导者。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The biggest challenge (挑战) was to find a way to turn the material into a desired (期望的) shape.”可知，最大的挑战是找到一种方法将材料变成所需的形状。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Mexico is the world leader in avocado growing”可知，墨西哥是世界鳄梨种植的领导者，所以墨西哥是最大的鳄梨生产国。故选D。 【35题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“they succeeded in creating single-use cutlery with avocado seeds”以及“Their products look no different from plastic cutlery. Kept in a fresh and dry place, they stay usable for one year, but after that, they start to biodegrade without leaving anything behind.”可知他们的产品看起来和塑料餐具没什么不同，放在新鲜干燥的地方，它们可以使用一年，但之后，它们开始生物降解，不会留下任何东西，故此处they指代“鳄梨种子制作的餐具”。故选C。 C Like many foreigners, I only knew two words of Chinese (“hello” and “thank you”) when I came to China. As you can probably guess, my life was difficult for a while after I arrived. Simple tasks like ordering food or taking a taxi were quite hard for me. I knew I had to learn more Chinese, so I signed up for a class. My teacher was very helpful, although I didn’t learn enough to have a real conversation. Later, I studied on my own as well, but my progress was still slow. I became very frustrated (沮丧的). Finally, I found that the best way to learn Chinese is to make friends with native speakers and spend time with them. Around this time, I started playing in a band with a Chinese woman who became one of my best friends in Beijing. I learned a lot of Chinese by hanging out (出去消遣) with her. For example, she taught me a lot of words about music, such as “melody (旋律)”. She learned a lot of English from me in return, so it was a good way to exchange language and culture. She is still one of my best friends and we talk to each other nearly every day. I’ve learned enough Chinese to take care of complicated (复杂的) tasks, such as booking train tickets and chatting with my landlord (房东). However, going to the bank and understanding technological vocabulary are still tough for me. These days, there are more foreigners who are studying Chinese. I can understand why it’s a fascinating (迷人的) language. There are always new words waiting to be discovered. 36. From Paragraph 2 we can know that the writer ________. A. is a born language learner B. is a good friend of his Chinese teacher’s C. met a lot of difficulties in learning Chinese D. managed to have a complicated conversation with others 37. How did the writer learn Chinese? ① by having classes ② by taking part in clubs ③ by studying by himself ④ by hanging out with natives A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 38. What does the underlined word “tough” mean? A. helpful B. difficult C. comfortable D. bored 39. Which of the following is TRUE about the writer? A. He falls in love with Chinese learning. B. It’s easy for him to learn Chinese at first. C. Booking tickets in Chinese is still hard for him. D. He had a hard time in staying with his Chinese friend. 40. What does the writer want to tell us by writing the text? A. The members in the band. B. His hard life in China. C. The days with his landlord. D. His experience in learning Chinese. 【答案】36. C 37. C 38. B 39. A 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者学习中文的经历。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“although I didn’t learn enough to have a real conversation. Later, I studied on my own as well, but my progress was still slow. I became very frustrated”可知我学的还不够多，无法进行真正的对话，后来，他自学，但进步仍然很慢，他变得非常沮丧，所以作者在学习中文时遇到很多困难。故选C。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“so I signed up for a class”可知作者报班学习；根据“I studied on my own as well”可知作者自学；根据“I learned a lot of Chinese by hanging out (出去消遣) with her.”可知作者和母语人士出去闲逛。故选C。 【38题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“I’ve learned enough Chinese to take care of complicated (复杂的) tasks, such as booking train tickets and chatting with my landlord (房东). However, going to the bank and understanding technological vocabulary are still tough for me.”可知已经学会了足够的中文来处理复杂的任务，然而，去银行和理解技术词汇仍然很困难，故此处划线部分意为“困难的”。故选B。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据“I can understand why it's a fascinating (迷人的) language”可知作者现在理解了汉语是迷人的语言，可见他爱上了学习汉语。故选A。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了作者学习中文的经历。故选D。 D Android phones (安卓手机) will be used to sense earthquakes around the world. They may one day be able to provide global warnings about earthquakes. Google, which helped develop Android, is helping build the quake alerts (警报器) into all phones that run the common mobile operating system. Android users who have enabled location services and are near a quake of magnitude (震级) 4.5 or greater will receive a full-screen earthquake warning, telling them to drop to the floor and look for cover. The screen will also provide information about the quake’s magnitude and distance from the user. Depending on their distance from a quake, people could get several seconds or perhaps a minute of warning. California's world-class earthquake early warning system will be a standard function on every Android phone-giving millions of people precious (宝贵的) seconds to drop, cover and hold on when the big one hits. Users don’t need to download California’s MyShake app in order to receive the warnings. IPhone users won’t receive the warnings through Apple’s operating system, but they can download the MyShake app. Also, Google announced that Android phones will begin sensing earthquakes from around the world. “Your Android phone can be a mini-seismometer (地震仪), joining millions of other Android phones out there to form the world’s largest earthquake detection network,” according to a Google blog post. Hundreds of millions of people live in areas where earthquakes take place often. But many countries are short of information to build detection and alert systems. The information will be used at first to provide fast and accurate (精确的) information on Google Search. But Google said it could begin sending out earthquake alerts next year. 41. You will benefit (得益) from the earthquake warning system if ________. A. you are an Android user B. you live in California C. you give up using MyShake app D. you have a smart phone 42. What can the earthquake early warning system do? A. Show us where to keep ourselves safe. B. Tell us how far the earthquake is from us. C. Advise us what to do during the earthquake. D. Give us information about who to ask for help. 43. What can we learn from the text? A. All the phones can receive the warnings without downloading the app. B. Android phones have begun sensing earthquakes from around the world. C. Google Search will begin sending out earthquake alerts in the near future. D. If there is a quake of magnitude 3.0, Android users will receive a warnıng. 44. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A. To share a new MyShake app. B. To show a report on Android phones. C. To make Google known to the world. D. To introduce a new function of Android phones. 45. What may be the best title for the text? A. A New Kind of Phone B. The First Alert of Earthquake C. The Development of a New Phone D. The Phone—the Earthquake Warner One Day 【答案】41. A 42. B 43. C 44. D 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了安卓手机能感应到地震，从而可以向人们发出地震预警。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Android phones (安卓手机) will be used to sense earthquakes around the world.

I teach English in a middle school. I thought that Canada would be a second home since we speak the same language. However, it turns out that there are some differences they don’t show you on TV, or in books! Stop signs Even when driving in the middle of the night, every Canadian I’ve seen will stop at the stop signs in the street. It seems that Canadians are much more careful drivers. Electrical plugs In England, electrical plugs for your computers or mobile phones are heavy and solid (坚硬的). In Canada, they always fall out of the wall. Not great when you’re drying your hair! Water Seriously, in Canada, water fountains are everywhere! It’s convenient (方便的), especially in places like supermarkets and parks. Somebody told me this is water fountains because Canada has a lot of fresh water. Advertisements (广告) on TV A one-hour TV show in Canada is actually only about 50 minutes; the other 10 minutes are advertisements. I’ll never complain (抱怨) about advertisements on British TV again because some British channels don’t have any advertisements at all! 26. What does the writer do in Canada? A. A driver. B. A teacher. C. A reporter. D. A TV host. 27. What is the writer pleased with? A. Fresh water in England. B. TV shows in Canada. C. Electrical plugs in England. D. Advertisements in Canada. 28. What can we infer from the text? A. Canadians like driving in the middle of the night. B. Drying your hair in Canada is a pleasant experience. C. There are many supermarkets and parks in Canada. D. It’s easy to get fresh water in public places in Canada. 29. What is the text mainly about? A. Traffic symbols in Canada. B. Water fountains in Canada. C Life in English-speaking countries. D. Differences between Canada and England. 30. Which section of a newspaper can we read the text? A. Culture. B. Health. C. Science. D. History. B We are often served single-use plastic cutlery (餐具) while eating out, like knives, forks and spoons. However, plastic cutlery is one of the biggest causes of pollution on our earth. While people are trying different ways to reduce plastic waste in their daily life, some companies are also taking action and among them is Biofase. Recently the company has found a new way to deal with plastic pollution—they succeeded in creating single-use cutlery with avocado seeds (鳄梨种子) that can biodegrade (生物降解) in 240 days. Biofase is based in Mexico and there is one thing they can easily get their hands on-avocados. The avocado is a fruit with hard dark green skin and a large seed inside. Mexico is the world leader in avocado growing—about 50% of the world’s avocados come from the country. As many companies there process avocados to make oil, Biofase wanted to collect avocado seeds from the companies and make use of them. But it was not so easy to find a suitable way to turn them into biodegradable cutlery. The biggest challenge (挑战) was to find a way to turn the material into a desired (期望的) shape. Everything comes to him who works hard. After studying for over a year and a half, Biofase was able to make single-use cutlery with avocado seeds. Their products look no different from plastic cutlery. Kept in a fresh and dry place, they stay usable for one year, but after that, they start to biodegrade without leaving anything behind. 31. What has Biofase done to deal with plastic pollution? A. It has encouraged people to eat out. B. It has created biodegradable cutlery. C. It has grown millions of avocado plants. D. It has ordered people to reduce plastic waste. 32. How does the writer show us that Mexico is the world leader in avocado growing? A. By listing numbers. B. By giving an example. C. By comparing facts. D. By telling a story. 33. What was Biofase’s biggest problem on its way to turn avocado seeds into biodegradable cutlery? · A. Growing avocados. B. Collecting avocado seeds. C. Finding a suitable way. D. Looking for avocado plants. 34. What can we know about the avocado? A. Its seeds are the best material to make oil. B. It is popular with people around the world. C. Biofase had difficulties getting the avocado. D. Mexico is the largest producer of the avocado. 35. What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A. the avocado seeds B. the common plastic cutlery C. the cutlery made of avocado seeds D. the plastic cutlery made of avocados C Like many foreigners, I only knew two words of Chinese (“hello” and “thank you”) when I came to China. As you can probably guess, my life was difficult for a while after I arrived. Simple tasks like ordering food or taking a taxi were quite hard for me. I knew I had to learn more Chinese, so I signed up for a class. My teacher was very helpful, although I didn’t learn enough to have a real conversation. Later, I studied on my own as well, but my progress was still slow. I became very frustrated (沮丧的). Finally, I found that the best way to learn Chinese is to make friends with native speakers and spend time with them. Around this time, I started playing in a band with a Chinese woman who became one of my best friends in Beijing. I learned a lot of Chinese by hanging out (出去消遣) with her. For example, she taught me a lot of words about music, such as “melody (旋律)”. She learned a lot of English from me in return, so it was a good way to exchange language and culture. She is still one of my best friends and we talk to each other nearly every day. I’ve learned enough Chinese to take care of complicated (复杂的) tasks, such as booking train tickets and chatting with my landlord (房东). However, going to the bank and understanding technological vocabulary are still tough for me. These days, there are more foreigners who are studying Chinese. I can understand why it’s a fascinating (迷人的) language. There are always new words waiting to be discovered. 36. From Paragraph 2 we can know that the writer ________. A. is a born language learner B. is a good friend of his Chinese teacher’s C. met a lot of difficulties in learning Chinese D managed to have a complicated conversation with others 37. How did the writer learn Chinese? ① by having classes ② by taking part in clubs ③ by studying by himself ④ by hanging out with natives A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 38. What does the underlined word “tough” mean? A. helpful B. difficult C. comfortable D. bored 39. Which of the following is TRUE about the writer? A. He falls in love with Chinese learning. B. It’s easy for him to learn Chinese at first. C. Booking tickets in Chinese is still hard for him. D. He had a hard time in staying with his Chinese friend. 40. What does the writer want to tell us by writing the text? A. The members in the band. B. His hard life in China. C. The days with his landlord. D. His experience in learning Chinese. D Android phones (安卓手机) will be used to sense earthquakes around the world. They may one day be able to provide global warnings about earthquakes. Google, which helped develop Android, is helping build the quake alerts (警报器) into all phones that run the common mobile operating system. Android users who have enabled location services and are near a quake of magnitude (震级) 4.5 or greater will receive a full-screen earthquake warning, telling them to drop to the floor and look for cover. The screen will also provide information about the quake’s magnitude and distance from the user. Depending on their distance from a quake, people could get several seconds or perhaps a minute of warning. California's world-class earthquake early warning system will be a standard function on every Android phone-giving millions of people precious (宝贵的) seconds to drop, cover and hold on when the big one hits. Users don’t need to download California’s MyShake app in order to receive the warnings. IPhone users won’t receive the warnings through Apple’s operating system, but they can download the MyShake app. Also, Google announced that Android phones will begin sensing earthquakes from around the world. “Your Android phone can be a mini-seismometer (地震仪), joining millions of other Android phones out there to form the world’s largest earthquake detection network,” according to a Google blog post. Hundreds of millions of people live in areas where earthquakes take place often. But many countries are short of information to build detection and alert systems. The information will be used at first to provide fast and accurate (精确的) information on Google Search. But Google said it could begin sending out earthquake alerts next year. 41. You will benefit (得益) from the earthquake warning system if ________. A. you are an Android user B. you live in California C. you give up using MyShake app D. you have a smart phone 42. What can the earthquake early warning system do? A. Show us where to keep ourselves safe. B. Tell us how far the earthquake is from us. C. Advise us what to do during the earthquake. D. Give us information about who to ask for help. 43. What can we learn from the text? A. All the phones can receive the warnings without downloading the app. B. Android phones have begun sensing earthquakes from around the world. C. Google Search will begin sending out earthquake alerts in the near future. D. If there is a quake of magnitude 3.0, Android users will receive a warnıng. 44. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A. To share a new MyShake app. B. To show a report on Android phones. C. To make Google known to the world. D. To introduce a new function of Android phones. 45. What may be the best title for the text? A. A New Kind of Phone B. The First Alert of Earthquake C. The Development of a New Phone D. The Phone—the Earthquake Warner One Day E 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Believe it or not, soaps (肥皂) change lives in Cambodia (柬埔寨). A group named Eco-Soap Bank collects used soap from hotels and turns it into new bars to give out for free. ____46____ In 2014, he visited Cambodia, which is in Southeast Asia, for the first time. There he watched a mother bathe her baby using detergent (洗衣粉). He learned that many people in Cambodia were very poor and didn’t have soap. He wanted to help solve the problem. ____47____ Each year, millions of tourists visit Cambodia. The country’s many hotels use large amount of soap.
