Perhaps you have some old technology that doesn’t work, like an out-of-date phone, or a slow computer. But when you throw away these things, do you know where they go? The journalist Peter Essick has followed rubbish to different countries around the world. Essick found a lot of e-rubbish in Ghana, with thousands of old computers in the local markets. Here, the sellers resell a few computers to people for their homes and offices, but you can’t sell many computers in the market because a lot of them don’t work. So they melt (熔化) some parts of the computers to recycle the metal (金属). These parts don’t have much metal, but sometimes there is a little gold inside. Unfortunately, recycling the metal can be dangerous for the workers because it produces a lot of chemicals which are bad for workers’ health. As a result, Peter Essick thinks we shouldn’t send any e-rubbish to other countries. It’s bad for the environment and it’s bad for people’s health. He believes we need to produce more environmentally-friendly electronics (电子产品) in the future: in other words, electronic products which you can recycle safely and in the country where they were made. 62. What does Peter Essick want to find? A. What old technology can do. B. How out-of-date phones work. C. Where a lot of e-rubbish goes. D. Why people throw away rubbish. 63. Why do people melt parts of the broken computers? A. To get useful things. B. To make new ones. C. To reduce pollution. D. To make room for others. 64. In Essick’s opinion, what kinds of electronic products are environmentally-friendly? A. They are made of few metal. B. They can be dealt with easily. C. They are made in other countries. D. They can be recycled safely. 【答案】62. C 63. A 64. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们生活中经常会制造电子垃圾，但是没人知道它们去了哪里，Essick为了得到答案去了不同的国家，他发现人们以不合理的方式回收这些电子垃圾，他意识到停止出口电子垃圾很重要而且应该制造对环境无害且能安全回收的电子产品。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But when you throw away these things, do you know where they go? The journalist Peter Essick has followed rubbish to different countries around the world.”可知，Peter Essick想找出很多电子垃圾去了哪里。故选C。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“So they melt (熔化) some parts of the computers to recycle the metal (金属).”可知，人们会熔化坏电脑的零件是为了得到有用的东西。故选A。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“He believes we need to produce more environmentally-friendly electronics (电子产品) in the future: in other words, electronic products which you can recycle safely and in the country where they were made.”可知，在Essick看来，能安全回收的电子产品是环保的。故选D。 D When you hear the word “shapeshifting” (变身), you may think of movies, and not the climate (气候). But that’s what animals are doing to deal with climate change. A new study shows that some animals are growing larger beaks (鸟嘴), legs and ears. In this way they can lose heat more easily to cool themselves down as Earth gets warmer. “A lot of the time when we talk about climate change, we ask ‘Can humans deal with this?’ or ‘What technology can solve this?’ But we should know that animals also have to get used to these changes,” said Sara Ryding from Deakin University, Australia. If animals fail to control their body temperature, they can overheat and die. In one example, the beaks of some Australian parrots have grown 4 to 10 percent larger since 1871. The study says it has something to do with rising summer temperatures over the years. Similar examples include wood mice. They have longer tails and legs and bats in warm climates have bigger wings. Although the changes are still small, Ryding said they could be much clearer as the days become hotter. “Body parts like ears are predicted to be bigger, so we might end up with a live-action Dumbo (big-eared elephant from a Disney cartoon) in the near future,” Ryding told BBC. 65. Why do animals change their shapes along with climate change? A. To collect heat. B. To stay cool. C. To hide themselves. D. To find more food. 66. What does Sara Ryding mean in Paragraph 3? A. Man can stop climate change. B. Man has got used to climate change. C. Climate change leads to animals dying out. D. Climate change influences both man and animals. 67. How does the writer prove his idea in Paragraph 4? A. By telling a story. B. By explaining terms. C. By giving examples. D. By making comparison. 68. What’s the best title for the text? A. Grow with the climate B. The change of animals C. Live with cold weather D. The future of the earth 【答案】65. B 66. D 67. C 68. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍气候变暖对动物和人类的影响。 【65题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In this way they can lose heat more easily to cool themselves down as Earth gets warmer.”可知动物随着气候变化而改变形状，这样，随着地球变暖，它们可以更容易地使自己凉爽。故选B。 【66题详解】 细节理解题。根据“we ask ‘Can humans deal with this?’ or ‘What technology can solve this?’ But we should know that animals also have to get used to these changes,”可知气候变化会影响人类和动物。故选D。 【67题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“In one example, the beaks of some Australian parrots have grown 4 to 10 percent larger since 1871.”可知第四段主要用举例的方法介绍了动物变身的实际情况。故选C。 【68题详解】 最佳标题题。通过阅读全文可知，本文主要讲气候变暖对动物和人类的影响，A项“随着气候成长”可作为本文最佳标题。故选A。 E Gregg Bleakney’s dream was to travel the Americas from top to bottom. He got the idea after he finished a 1,600 kilometer bike ride. Gregg’s friend, Brooks Allen, was also a cyclist. The two friends talked and got a plan: they would travel from Alaska to Argentina—by bike. To pay for the trip, Gregg and Brooks worked at the airport and saved their money for years. Once they were on the road, they often camped outdoors or stayed in small hotels. In many places, local people opened their homes to the two friends and gave them food. During their trip, Gregg and Brooks cycled through deserts, rainforests, and mountains. They visited modern cities and ancient ruins such as Machu Picchu in Peru. And everywhere they went, they met other cyclists from all over the world. In May 2007—two years, twelve countries, and over 30,500 km later—Gregg eventually reached Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost city in the world. (Near Guatemala, Brooks had to return to the U.S., and Gregg continued without him.) The trip taught both men a lot about traveling especially if you travel abroad. What did they learn? 69. How did Gregg Bleakney travel the Americas? A. On foot. B. By bike. C. By car. D. By air. 70. What do we know about Gregg and Brook? A. They always lived outdoors in order to save money. B. They started the trip immediately they got the plan. C. They had quite rich experiences during their trip. D. They completed the whole trip hand in hand. 71. Which of the following word is most similar in meaning to “eventually” in Paragraph 4? A. Quickly. B. Hardly. C. Easily. D. Finally. 72 What will most probably be talked about next? A. Their advice on travelling. B. Their ideas of studying abroad. C. Their stories during the trip. D. Their dreams about future trips. 【答案】69. B 70. C 71. D 72. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Gregg Bleakney和Brooks Allen骑自行车环游美洲的旅行。 【69题详解】 细节理解题。根据“...they would travel from Alaska to Argentina—by bike.”可知，Gregg Bleakney骑自行车环游美洲。故选B。 【70题详解】 细节理解题。根据“During their trip, Gregg and Brooks cycled through deserts, rainforests, and mountains. They visited modern cities and ancient ruins such as Machu Picchu in Peru. And everywhere they went, they met other cyclists from all over the world.”可知，他们骑车穿越了沙漠、雨林和山脉，参观了现代城市和古代遗迹，无论到哪都会遇到来自世界各地的骑友。也就是他们在旅途中经历颇丰。故选C。 【71题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“In May 2007—two years, twelve countries, and over 30,500 km later—Gregg eventually reached Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost city in the world.”可知，两年之后，辗转12个国家，行驶了30500多公里，2007年5月Gregg……到达了世界上最南端的城市——阿根廷的乌斯怀亚。可以猜测“eventually”意为“最终”。故选D。 【72题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The trip taught both men a lot about traveling especially if you travel abroad. What did they learn?”可知，这次旅行教会了他们很多关于旅行的东西，尤其是出国旅行。由问题“他们学到了什么？”引出下文，可以推断接下来要谈论他们关于旅行的建议。故选A。 F 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题 (请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。 I found myself running around the tennis court. It was difficult to run ten laps (圈) because I hated running though I knew running was necessary for my ability to run faster. It would be helpful for me to attend the coming tennis competitions. I quietly went in the house to avoid facing my dad. No use. My dad saw me. “Did you run all the laps?” he asked. “I did,” I replied. “Okay, now let’s go out and do more practice,” he said. I didn’t argue but followed because he was my coach. I caught my tennis bag and we walked to the courts. We practiced for over four hours. That night, my arm was in huge pain and I went to bed early because I had hard matches the next day. Having a night’s rest, I felt much better. I won all three matches and it was really a wonder. The key competition arrived. I played against Ann Collins who was the No.1 player. I was confident (有信心的) to win because I had practiced thousands of times. However, my arm still hurt from time to time. I thought I must hold on. Otherwise, all the efforts my dad and I made would be useless. When I failed to hit the ball, I saw my dad holding his hands nervously. At the same time, I noticed the crowd cheering. I persisted (坚持) and kept calm. By the end, I won and I had never seen my dad so happy. The feeling of victory was special, which meant so much to me. Finally, I understand that ________ 73.

So at the weekend he does something different. He helps people for free. Every weekend, there’s a new project. This weekend Joel is helping to build a house. You can see him in the photo. He’s moving a large blue board. All the people are “weekend builders”. These “weekend builders” are from the small town of Greensburg in Kansas. A year ago, a tornado (龙卷风) hit their town. After the tornado, the community started a project to build new homes. The project is for thirty new homes. Joel says, “I heard about the tornado and the new project. I knew some people in Greensburg. I wanted to help.” Joel’s working with Jill and Scott Eller. Jill and Scott are building their “dream house”. They’re making the house “tornado-resistant (可抵御的)”—that’s why it has an unusual shape. The Ellers’ house is almost ready, so next weekend Joel is moving to a different project. Why does he do this at the weekend? “I have time, I can help people, I make friends and it’s fun! So why not?” he says. 59. What do we know about Joel Connor? A. He serves in building company. B.

But when you throw away these things, do you know where they go? The journalist Peter Essick has followed rubbish to different countries around the world. Essick found a lot of e-rubbish in Ghana, with thousands of old computers in the local markets. Here, the sellers resell a few computers to people for their homes and offices, but you can’t sell many computers in the market because a lot of them don’t work. So they melt (熔化) some parts of the computers to recycle the metal (金属). These parts don’t have much metal, but sometimes there is a little gold inside. Unfortunately recycling the metal can be dangerous for the workers because it produces a lot of chemicals which are bad for workers’ health. As a result, Peter Essick thinks we shouldn’t send any e-rubbish to other countries. It’s bad for the environment and it’s bad for people’s health.

A new study shows that some animals are growing larger beaks (鸟嘴), legs and ears. In this way they can lose heat more easily to cool themselves down as Earth gets warmer. “A lot of the time when we talk about climate change, we ask ‘Can humans deal with this?’ or ‘What technology can solve this?’ But we should know that animals also have to get used to these changes,” said Sara Ryding from Deakin University, Australia. If animals fail to control their body temperature, they can overheat and die. In one example, the beaks of some Australian parrots have grown 4 to 10 percent larger since 1871. The study says it has something to do with rising summer temperatures over the years. Similar examples include wood mice. They have longer tails and legs and bats in warm climates have bigger wings. Although the changes are still small, Ryding said they could be much clearer as the days become hotter. “Body parts like ears are predicted to be bigger, so we might end up with a live-action Dumbo (big-eared elephant from a Disney cartoon) in the near future,” Ryding told BBC. 65. Why do animals change their shapes along with climate change? A. To collect heat. B. To stay cool. C. To hide themselves. D. To find more food. 66. What does Sara Ryding mean in Paragraph 3? A.

Grow with the climate B. The change of animals C. Live with cold weather D. The future of the earth E Gregg Bleakney’s dream was to travel the Americas from top to bottom. He got the idea after he finished a 1,600 kilometer bike ride. Gregg’s friend, Brooks Allen, was also a cyclist. The two friends talked and got a plan: they would travel from Alaska to Argentina—by bike. To pay for the trip, Gregg and Brooks worked at the airport and saved their money for years. Once they were on the road, they often camped outdoors or stayed in small hotels. In many places, local people opened their homes to the two friends and gave them food. During their trip, Gregg and Brooks cycled through deserts, rainforests, and mountains. They visited modern cities and ancient ruins such as Machu Picchu in Peru. And everywhere they went, they met other cyclists from all over the world. In May 2007—two years, twelve countries, and over 30,500 km later—Gregg eventually reached Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost city in the world. (Near Guatemala, Brooks had to return to the U.S., and Gregg continued without him.) The trip taught both men a lot about traveling especially if you travel abroad. What did they learn? 69. How did Gregg Bleakney travel the Americas? A. On foot. B. By bike. C. By car. D. By air. 70. What do we know about Gregg and Brook? A. They always lived outdoors in order to save money. B. They started the trip immediately they got the plan. C. They had quite rich experiences during their trip. D. They completed the whole trip hand in hand. 71 Which of the following word is most similar in meaning to “eventually” in Paragraph 4? A. Quickly. B. Hardly. C. Easily. D. Finally. 72.
