Next time you open your fridge, have a close look at what’s in it. What do you see? Vegetables, fruits, meat or some milk? What else can you see? There may be some kinds of plastic packaging (塑料包装) to protect your delicious food well. From food to water bottles, plastic containers and wrappers (容器和包装纸) are everywhere. However, plastic pollution is one of the biggest environmental problems in the world and packaging is the largest source (来源) of plastic waste.
It’s true that plastic pollution harms the environment and results. in lots of animal deaths each year. And plastic pollution can be harmful to people’s health, as well as the environment.
This happens when the material gives off harmful chemicals (化学物质) that have been added to it. Many countries have already brought in, or are planning to bring in bans (禁令) on single use plastics. This shows that it’s possible to live without them. While in some situations, for example, plastic packaging may be the best choice for wrapping food. It is stronger than glass or paper and also lighter than many other packing materials. So instead of not using plastic at all, we need to use it only when necessary. Lots of packaging can be recycled or reused. Instead of throwing it directly, perhaps we need to find better ways to reuse it.

How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries people have developed different ways of telling the time.
About 5, 500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial about 3, 500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows (流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3, 400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time.
In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, springs (发条) were added around 1500. This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It’s also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.
There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work.
13. According to the passage, we can’t use a ________ to tell the time on a rainy day.
A. water clock B. sun clock C. digital clock D. mechanical clock
14. How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage?
A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven.
15. Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage?
( ①=paragraph 1 ②= paragraph 2, …)
A. B. C. D.
16. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The importance of time. B. The development of timekeeping.
C. The inventions of clocks. D. The history of a digital clock.

This happens when the material gives off harmful chemicals (化学物质) that have been added to it. Many countries have already brought in, or are planning to bring in bans (禁令) on single use plastics. This shows that it’s possible to live without them. While in some situations, for example, plastic packaging may be the best choice for wrapping food. It is stronger than glass or paper and also lighter than many other packing materials. So instead of not using plastic at all, we need to use it only when necessary. Lots of packaging can be recycled or reused. Instead of throwing it directly, perhaps we need to find better ways to reuse it.

How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries people have developed different ways of telling the time.
About 5, 500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial about 3, 500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows (流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3, 400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time.
In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, springs (发条) were added around 1500. This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It’s also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.
There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work.
13. According to the passage, we can’t use a ________ to tell the time on a rainy day.
A. water clock B. sun clock C. digital clock D. mechanical clock
14. How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage?
A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven.
15. Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage?
( ①=paragraph 1 ②= paragraph 2, …)
A. B. C. D.
16. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The importance of time. B. The development of timekeeping.
C. The inventions of clocks. D. The history of a digital clock.
【答案】13. B 14. C 15. A 16. B
