Alternatives to plastic straws — What’s that straw made of?
Plastic straws may seem harmless, but they pose a danger to the environment. Because they’re so small, they easily find their way into the ocean. There they can harm animals that try to eat them. They may be small, but the millions of plastic straws that are used and discarded daily add up to a huge problem. What can you use instead of plastic straws?
Bamboo straws
Fast-growing and plentiful, bamboo stalks are ideal for making drinking straws. Multiple companies now produce bamboo straws, often without the use of chemicals. Bamboo straws can be washed in a dishwasher or by hand and used again and again. When they do wear out, they break down easily.
Glass straws
Glass straws can also be reused, and if they’re clear, it’s easy to see if they’re clean or not. Some companies make bent glass straws, which means you don’t have to tip your glass to drink with them. They are available in a variety of lengths, colors and widths, so consumers have many options to choose from.
Metal straws
Straws made of metal last a very long time and are easy to clean. Steel is the most common variety, but those willing to pay more can get titanium or silver straws.
Bottles that come with straws
Many water bottles come equipped with built-in straws. Although that straw may be made of plastic, you keep it and use it repeatedly. That means it probably won’t end up in a landfill or the ocean any time soon. Water bottles can also replace disposable cups, which cuts down on waste even more. And they can be economical if you choose to fill the bottles with water rather than buying drinks.
No straw
For many drinks, straws aren’t required; people can drink straight out of a cup. And businesses can cut down on the number of straws they use by simply asking people if they want one. Many people scarcely notice whether they have a straw or not.
Plastic straws are far from the only way to enjoy your favorite drink. Giving them up is an easy way to help take care of our planet.
1.According to the passage, which one is the main reason for different alternatives to plastic straws?
A.market requirement B.consumption preference
C.price factor D.environmental concern
2.According to the passage, which one of the following statements is correct?
A.You can wash bamboo straws only by hand.
B.There are various shapes of glass straws.
C.Titanium or silver straws are valueless.
D.Straws are not necessary for all drinks.
3.What’s the author’s attitude to bottles that come with straws?
A.doubtful B.critical C.disappointed D.unclear
【答案】1.D 2.D 3.B
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了可以替代塑料吸管的四种吸管。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段“Plastic straws may seem harmless, but they pose a danger to the environment. Because they’re so small, they easily find their way into the ocean. There they can harm animals that try to eat them. They may be small, but the millions of plastic straws that are used and discarded daily add up to a huge problem.(塑料吸管可能看起来无害,但它们对环境构成危险。因为它们很小,所以很容易进入海洋。在那里,它们可以伤害试图吃掉它们的动物。它们可能很小,但每天使用和丢弃的数百万塑料吸管加起来是一个巨大的问题)”可知,塑料吸管会对环境造成危害,所以这是塑料吸管的不同替代品出现的主要原因。故选D。
2.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“For many drinks, straws aren’t required; people can drink straight out of a cup.(许多饮料不需要吸管;人们可以直接用杯子喝)”可知,并非所有饮料都需要吸管。故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据第一段“What can you use instead of plastic straws?(你可以用什么来代替塑料吸管?)”以及Bottles that come with straws部分“Many water bottles come equipped with built-in straws. Although that straw may be made of plastic, you keep it and use it repeatedly. That means it probably won’t end up in a landfill or the ocean any time soon.(许多水瓶都配有内置吸管。虽然那根吸管可能是塑料做的,但你要保留它并反复使用。这意味着它可能不会很快进入垃圾填埋场或海洋)”可知,作者将带吸管的瓶子介绍为代替塑料吸管的一种方式,认可它的作用,但强调要保留瓶子中的吸管并反复使用,由此可推知,作者对于带吸管的瓶子的态度是批判性的。故选B。

Do you know the following fun holidays?
Yellow Pig Day
The unofficial holiday that falls on July 17 was created in the early 1960s by Princeton mathematics students, David Kelly and Michael Spivak, while they were working on the special properties (属性) of the number 17, which is a prime number (质数) that has significance in mathematics.
Mole Day
It’s celebrated every year with a theme by scientists and chemistry students throughout the United States and around the world between 6: 02 am and 6: 02 pm on October 23 because when written in the month-date format, the date and time 6.02, 10/23 include the digits in Avogadro’s number (602×1023) in honor of the mole, a measuring unit in chemistry.
Tau Day
This has much to do with Pi (π) Day. It has been held every year since 2010 on June 28. The day began as a way to recognize tau. Tau is equal to 2π or 6.283. In recent years, some mathematicians and physicists have argued for the replacement of pi (π) by tau, but it is not yet widely accepted within the scientific community.
Palindrome Day
Palindrome (回文) is a word or phrase that reads the same backwards as forwards, for example madam. Palindrome Day happens when the day’s date can be read the same way backward and forward. Because date formats vary from country to country, not all dates that are palindromic in one kind of date format are Palindrome Days in another. For instance, April 21, 2024 or 4-21-24 is a palindromic date in the m-dd-yy format, but it isn’t if you write the date as dd-m-yyyy (21-4-2024) or dd-mm-yyyy (21-04-2024).
1.What is special about Mole Day?
A.It has a different theme every year.
B.It was created by a scientist.
C.It’s the oldest of the four holidays.
D.It’s celebrated only in America.
2.Which Day is closely related to Pi Day?
A.Palindrome Day. B.Mole Day.
C.Yellow Pig Day. D.Tau Day.
3.What can we know from the text?
A.Yellow Pig Day is related to a concept in chemistry.
B.The four holidays each represent a scientific idea.
C.21-4-2024 is a palindromic date in the m-dd-yy format.
D.The four holidays are all accepted by governments.
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.B
【导语】本文体裁为应用文。这段文字以客观、简练的方式介绍了几个特定节日的由来、庆祝方式或相关特点。
1.推理判断题。由文章Mole Day部分“It’s celebrated every year with a theme by scientists and chemistry students throughout the United States and around the world between 6: 02 am and 6: 02 pm on October 23 because when written in the month-date format, the date and time 6.02, 10/23 include the digits in Avogadro’s number (602×1023) in honor of the mole, a measuring unit in chemistry. (每年10月23日早上6点02分到下午6点02分之间,美国和世界各地的科学家和化学学生都会以一个主题来庆祝这个节日,因为当以月-日的格式书写时,日期和时间6.02,10/23包含了阿伏伽德罗数字(602×1023)中的数字,以纪念化学中的测量单位摩尔。)”可知,Mole Day每年都有一个主题。故选A。
2.细节理解题。由文章Tau Day部分“This has much to do with Pi (π) Day. (这与圆周率日有很大关系)”可知,Tau Day与Pi Day密切相关。故选D。
3.推理判断题。由文章Yellow Pig Day部分“The unofficial holiday that falls on July 17 was created in the early 1960s by Princeton mathematics students, David Kelly and Michael Spivak, while they were working on the special properties (属性) of the number 17, which is a prime number (质数) that has significance in mathematics. (7月17日这个非官方节日是在20世纪60年代初由普林斯顿大学数学系的学生大卫·凯利和迈克尔·斯皮瓦克创立的,当时他们正在研究17的特殊属性,17是一个质数,在数学中具有重要意义。)”、Mole Day部分“It’s celebrated every year with a theme by scientists and chemistry students throughout the United States and around the world between 6: 02 am and 6: 02 pm on October 23 because when written in the month-date format, the date and time 6.02, 10/23 include the digits in Avogadro’s number (602×1023) in honor of the mole, a measuring unit in chemistry. 每年10月23日早上6点02分到下午6点02分之间,美国和世界各地的科学家和化学学生都会以一个主题来庆祝这个节日,因为当以月-日的格式书写时,日期和时间6.02,10/23包含了阿伏伽德罗数字(602×1023)中的数字,以纪念化学中的测量单位摩尔。)”、Tau Day部分“This has much to do with Pi (π) Day. (这与圆周率日有很大关系)”、Palindrome Day部分“Palindrome (回文) is a word or phrase that reads the same backwards as forwards, for example madam. Palindrome Day happens when the day’s date can be read the same way backward and forward. (回文是向后读和向前读一样的单词或短语,例如madam。回文日发生在一天的日期可以以同样的方式向后和向前阅读。)”可知,它们各自代表了一个科学理念。故选B。

Alternatives to plastic straws — What’s that straw made of?
Plastic straws may seem harmless, but they pose a danger to the environment. Because they’re so small, they easily find their way into the ocean. There they can harm animals that try to eat them. They may be small, but the millions of plastic straws that are used and discarded daily add up to a huge problem. What can you use instead of plastic straws?
Bamboo straws
Fast-growing and plentiful, bamboo stalks are ideal for making drinking straws. Multiple companies now produce bamboo straws, often without the use of chemicals. Bamboo straws can be washed in a dishwasher or by hand and used again and again. When they do wear out, they break down easily.
Glass straws
Glass straws can also be reused, and if they’re clear, it’s easy to see if they’re clean or not. Some companies make bent glass straws, which means you don’t have to tip your glass to drink with them. They are available in a variety of lengths, colors and widths, so consumers have many options to choose from.
Metal straws
Straws made of metal last a very long time and are easy to clean. Steel is the most common variety, but those willing to pay more can get titanium or silver straws.
Bottles that come with straws
Many water bottles come equipped with built-in straws. Although that straw may be made of plastic, you keep it and use it repeatedly. That means it probably won’t end up in a landfill or the ocean any time soon. Water bottles can also replace disposable cups, which cuts down on waste even more. And they can be economical if you choose to fill the bottles with water rather than buying drinks.
No straw
For many drinks, straws aren’t required; people can drink straight out of a cup. And businesses can cut down on the number of straws they use by simply asking people if they want one. Many people scarcely notice whether they have a straw or not.
Plastic straws are far from the only way to enjoy your favorite drink. Giving them up is an easy way to help take care of our planet.
1.According to the passage, which one is the main reason for different alternatives to plastic straws?
A.market requirement B.consumption preference
C.price factor D.environmental concern
2.According to the passage, which one of the following statements is correct?
A.You can wash bamboo straws only by hand.
B.There are various shapes of glass straws.
C.Titanium or silver straws are valueless.
D.Straws are not necessary for all drinks.
3.What’s the author’s attitude to bottles that come with straws?
A.doubtful B.critical C.disappointed D.unclear
【答案】1.D 2.D 3.B
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了可以替代塑料吸管的四种吸管。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段“Plastic straws may seem harmless, but they pose a danger to the environment. Because they’re so small, they easily find their way into the ocean. There they can harm animals that try to eat them. They may be small, but the millions of plastic straws that are used and discarded daily add up to a huge problem.(塑料吸管可能看起来无害,但它们对环境构成危险。因为它们很小,所以很容易进入海洋。在那里,它们可以伤害试图吃掉它们的动物。它们可能很小,但每天使用和丢弃的数百万塑料吸管加起来是一个巨大的问题)”可知,塑料吸管会对环境造成危害,所以这是塑料吸管的不同替代品出现的主要原因。故选D。
2.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“For many drinks, straws aren’t required; people can drink straight out of a cup.(许多饮料不需要吸管;人们可以直接用杯子喝)”可知,并非所有饮料都需要吸管。故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据第一段“What can you use instead of plastic straws?(你可以用什么来代替塑料吸管?)”以及Bottles that come with straws部分“Many water bottles come equipped with built-in straws. Although that straw may be made of plastic, you keep it and use it repeatedly. That means it probably won’t end up in a landfill or the ocean any time soon.(许多水瓶都配有内置吸管。虽然那根吸管可能是塑料做的,但你要保留它并反复使用。这意味着它可能不会很快进入垃圾填埋场或海洋)”可知,作者将带吸管的瓶子介绍为代替塑料吸管的一种方式,认可它的作用,但强调要保留瓶子中的吸管并反复使用,由此可推知,作者对于带吸管的瓶子的态度是批判性的。故选B。

Do you know the following fun holidays?
Yellow Pig Day
The unofficial holiday that falls on July 17 was created in the early 1960s by Princeton mathematics students, David Kelly and Michael Spivak, while they were working on the special properties (属性) of the number 17, which is a prime number (质数) that has significance in mathematics.
Mole Day
It’s celebrated every year with a theme by scientists and chemistry students throughout the United States and around the world between 6: 02 am and 6: 02 pm on October 23 because when written in the month-date format, the date and time 6.02, 10/23 include the digits in Avogadro’s number (602×1023) in honor of the mole, a measuring unit in chemistry.
Tau Day
This has much to do with Pi (π) Day. It has been held every year since 2010 on June 28. The day began as a way to recognize tau. Tau is equal to 2π or 6.283. In recent years, some mathematicians and physicists have argued for the replacement of pi (π) by tau, but it is not yet widely accepted within the scientific community.
Palindrome Day
Palindrome (回文) is a word or phrase that reads the same backwards as forwards, for example madam. Palindrome Day happens when the day’s date can be read the same way backward and forward. Because date formats vary from country to country, not all dates that are palindromic in one kind of date format are Palindrome Days in another. For instance, April 21, 2024 or 4-21-24 is a palindromic date in the m-dd-yy format, but it isn’t if you write the date as dd-m-yyyy (21-4-2024) or dd-mm-yyyy (21-04-2024).
1.What is special about Mole Day?
A.It has a different theme every year.
B.It was created by a scientist.
C.It’s the oldest of the four holidays.
D.It’s celebrated only in America.
2.Which Day is closely related to Pi Day?
A.Palindrome Day. B.Mole Day.
C.Yellow Pig Day. D.Tau Day.
3.What can we know from the text?
A.Yellow Pig Day is related to a concept in chemistry.
B.The four holidays each represent a scientific idea.
C.21-4-2024 is a palindromic date in the m-dd-yy format.
D.The four holidays are all accepted by governments.
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.B
【导语】本文体裁为应用文。这段文字以客观、简练的方式介绍了几个特定节日的由来、庆祝方式或相关特点。
1.推理判断题。由文章Mole Day部分“It’s celebrated every year with a theme by scientists and chemistry students throughout the United States and around the world between 6: 02 am and 6: 02 pm on October 23 because when written in the month-date format, the date and time 6.02, 10/23 include the digits in Avogadro’s number (602×1023) in honor of the mole, a measuring unit in chemistry. (每年10月23日早上6点02分到下午6点02分之间,美国和世界各地的科学家和化学学生都会以一个主题来庆祝这个节日,因为当以月-日的格式书写时,日期和时间6.02,10/23包含了阿伏伽德罗数字(602×1023)中的数字,以纪念化学中的测量单位摩尔。)”可知,Mole Day每年都有一个主题。故选A。
2.细节理解题。由文章Tau Day部分“This has much to do with Pi (π) Day. (这与圆周率日有很大关系)”可知,Tau Day与Pi Day密切相关。故选D。

(7月17日这个非官方节日是在20世纪60年代初由普林斯顿大学数学系的学生大卫·凯利和迈克尔·斯皮瓦克创立的,当时他们正在研究17的特殊属性,17是一个质数,在数学中具有重要意义。)”、Mole Day部分“It’s celebrated every year with a theme by scientists and chemistry students throughout the United States and around the world between 6: 02 am and 6: 02 pm on October 23 because when written in the month-date format, the date and time 6.02, 10/23 include the digits in Avogadro’s number (602×1023) in honor of the mole, a measuring unit in chemistry. 每年10月23日早上6点02分到下午6点02分之间,美国和世界各地的科学家和化学学生都会以一个主题来庆祝这个节日,因为当以月-日的格式书写时,日期和时间6.02,10/23包含了阿伏伽德罗数字(602×1023)中的数字,以纪念化学中的测量单位摩尔。)”、Tau Day部分“This has much to do with Pi (π) Day. (这与圆周率日有很大关系)”、Palindrome Day部分“Palindrome (回文) is a word or phrase that reads the same backwards as forwards, for example madam.
