The Master Gardener program is an all-volunteer organization where you can develop your own leadership and teaching skills while teaching the younger youth about healthy eating, agriculture, and so on! Master Gardeners involve people in activities to improve their general well-being and overall enjoyment of life by helping them find sound management practices for home and urban natural resources, by creating pleasing environments through people-plant interactions and horticultural therapy (园艺疗法), and by providing a safe food supply through home fruit and vegetable production. What Qualifications Must You Meet? Anyone can apply to be a Master Gardener — you don’t need to be an expert or have a degree. You do, however, need to: ●Have certain experience or know a little about gardening or landscape management. ●Be willing to share horticulture information with others. ●Be willing to attend a training program and can devote time to volunteering and continuing education. Besides, to become a Master Gardener volunteer, each applicant needs to complete an application, prepare background screening paperwork and schedule an interview with extension staff. What Does the Training Involve? Training sessions are offered one day a week over a three-month period and are led by expert educators in the region. Approximately 60 hours of classroom instruction and field study and 60 hours of volunteer internship (实习) work are required to complete the program and become certified. In order to remain a certified Master Gardener, 30 hours of volunteer work and 10 hours of continuing education or advanced training are required each year. 1. What does a Master Gardener do? A. Help promote the well-being of people. B. Train volunteers to help with gardening. C. Teach the young about cooking and farming. D. Increase the output of home fruit and vegetable. 2. What is required if you want to apply to be a Master Gardener? A. Acquiring excellent teaching skills. B. Having some relevant knowledge. C. Completing given training sessions. D. Obtaining rich volunteer experience. 3. How long will it take to become a certified Master Gardener? A. A year. B. Three months. C. About 160 hours. D. About 120 hours. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了“园艺大师志愿者”这一项目，包括成为园艺大师的好处、申请资格以及培训内容等。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Why Become a Master Gardener?部分中“Master Gardeners involve people in activities to improve their general well-being and overall enjoyment of life (园艺大师组织人们参与活动，以提高他们的整体幸福感和生活的整体享受)”可知，园艺大师主要做的是帮助提升人们的幸福感。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据What Qualifications Must You Meet?部分中“●Have certain experience or know a little about gardening or landscape management. (有一定的经验或了解一些园艺或景观管理知识)”可知，如果你想申请成为园艺大师，需要有一些相关知识。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据What Does the Training Involve?部分中“Approximately 60 hours of classroom instruction and field study and 60 hours of volunteer internship (实习) work are required to complete the program and become certified. (完成该项目并获得认证需要大约60个小时的课堂教学和实地学习，以及60个小时的志愿者实习工作)”可知，成为认证的园艺大师需要大约120个小时。故选D项。 B William Lindesay, a famous Great Wall expert and conservationist, and his wife Wu Qi have traveled the globe by the back paths, providing their sons with a unique growing environment. Sun hats, backpacks and sneakers (运动鞋)—these are the day-to-day must-haves for the family. Most of their trips seem far from relaxing—cultural study in the hot and dry desert, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb to three English mountaintops and a six-day train ride from Beijing to Moscow. Many assume the family must be wealthy and can afford their global travel, but they are not. Lindesay says they just choose to spend money on travel and eschew pricey hotels and restaurants where possible. Lindesay mentions the trip to Moscow as an example. Instead of taking a taxi from the railway station to the hotel, they took the subway. “We crossed the city for saving money, communicated with local people, and saw they are people just like us, everywhere. We arrived at our destination feeling comfortable.” However, their journeys, which can last weeks or months, have sometimes been inconsistent with their children’s schooling. Wu remembers once Lindesay let their elder son ask for leave so that they could go to New York for a 45-day lecture tour. Therefore the son missed his final exam. Things like that bother the family all the time. Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but traveling outside, in distant lands with different languages, cultures, and political structures, is the real test. “You can only get streetwise on the street. You can only get worldly-wise when seeing the world,” he says. 4. How can we describe the Lindesays’ trips? A. Pleasant. B. Conventional C. Challenging. D. Dangerous. 5. What does the underlined word “eschew” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Visit. B. Avoid. C. Compare. D. Evaluate. 6. What problem does the family meet when traveling? A. They have scheduling conflicts. B. They suffer from a tight budget. C. They are faced with language barriers. D. They hold different educational ideas. 7. Which statement may Lindesay agree with according to the text? A. Toughness is the best assistant of will. B. Man who travels far knows more. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. There is no royal road to learning. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要介绍著名长城专家、自然资源保护主义者威廉﹒林赛（William Lindesay）和他的妻子吴琪（Wu Qi）通过环游世界，为他们的儿子提供了一个独特的成长环境。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Most of their trips seem far from relaxing—cultural study in the hot and dry desert, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb to three English mountaintops and a six-day train ride from Beijing to Moscow. (他们的大多数旅行似乎都远非放松——在炎热干燥的沙漠中进行文化研究，53公里的新西兰徒步旅行，一天攀登三座英国山顶，以及从北京到莫斯科的六天火车旅行。)”可知，林赛他们一家人的旅行很有挑战性。故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Many assume the family must be wealthy and can afford their global travel, but they are not. Lindesay says they just choose to spend money on travel and eschew pricey hotels and restaurants where possible. Lindesay mentions the trip to Moscow as an example. Instead of taking a taxi from the railway station to the hotel, they took the subway. (许多人认为这个家庭一定很富有，能够负担得起他们的全球旅行费用，但事实并非如此。林赛说，他们只是选择把钱花在旅行上，尽可能eschew昂贵的酒店和餐馆。林赛提到莫斯科之行就是一个例子。他们没有从火车站乘出租车去旅馆，而是乘地铁去了。)”可知，林赛一家人并不是很富有，他们没有从火车站乘出租车去旅馆，而是乘地铁去了。所以，他们应该是尽可能避开昂贵的酒店和餐馆。所以，eschew的意思应该是“避开”，和选项B意思一致。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“However, their journeys, which can last weeks or months, have sometimes been inconsistent with their children’s schooling. Wu remembers once Lindesay let their elder son ask for leave so that they could go to New York for a 45-day lecture tour. Therefore the son missed his final exam. Things like that bother the family all the time. (然而，他们的旅程可能会持续数周或数月，有时与孩子的学业不一致。吴琪记得有一次林赛让他们的大儿子请假，让他们去纽约做45天的巡回演讲。因此，儿子错过了期末考试。这样的事情一直困扰着这个家庭。)”可知，林赛他们一家人的旅行会和孩子的学习安排不一致。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but traveling outside, in distant lands with different languages, cultures, and political structures, is the real test. “You can only get streetwise on the street. You can only get worldly-wise when seeing the world,” he says. (林赛非常重视在课堂外学习，他说孩子们可能在学校考试中得分很高，但真正的考试是在不同语言、文化和政治结构的遥远国度里外出旅行。他说：“你只能在街上变得有街头智慧。只有看到世界，你才能变得有世俗智慧。”)”可知，在林赛看来，只有远行才能让人更有智慧。故选B。 C There’s a famous story about NASA and the Russian space programme. It is said that NASA spent millions of dollars developing a pen that would write in space. The Russians, on the other hand, just used a pencil. This story isn’t true, but it helps illustrate the usefulness of pencils. The earliest form of the pencil was a metal stick that was used by the Romans. The pencil that we know, however, got its start in England in 1564. In that year, farmers in a county north of London discovered graphite (石墨), which they called “black lead” and used to mark sheep. There was only one problem: the graphite blackened their hands and clothes. To prevent this from happening, they covered sheep skin around graphite sticks. The Italians finally thought of putting the graphite into a wooden holder. At first, they dug out wood and slid the graphite in. Later, though, they put the graphite between two pieces of wood and glued the wood together. Then, in 1662, some Germans learned how to use powdered (粉末的) graphite and began mass-producing pencils. The next major development occurred in the mid-18th century, when war broke out between England and France. Since England had the only source of graphite, France was unable to import the mineral. This led a Frenchman to mix clay (黏土) with the graphite powder that he had. By changing the amount of graphite in the mixture, he could control the hardness and darkness of the pencil. The HB (Hardness and Blackness) system of pencils was thus born. Soon after that, pencils were produced in large numbers and became common everywhere. Pencils are primarily used to write, but they can serve in other roles too. For example, rub a pencil over a newly- bought key to ensure that it slides easily into a lock. This method also works with zippers (拉链) that are repeatedly getting stuck. Additionally, use it as a replacement for a ruler to help you draw straight lines. Today, more than 15 billion pencils are made each year. For many, the pencil is their preferred choice for a writing tool. Its design may have changed throughout the years, yet its usefulness has allowed it to continue making a mark on our lives. 8. What does the story about the Russian space programme help to show? A. The darkness of pencils. B. The weakness of pencils. C. The hardness of pencils. D. The usefulness of pencils. 9. Who were the first to think of putting the graphite into a wooden holder? A. Italians. B. Germans. C. Englishmen. D. Frenchmen. 10. What made pencils become common everywhere? A. The outbreak of a war. B. The use of glued wood. C. The birth of the HB system. D. The import of the graphite. 11. What is the passage mainly about? A. The effect of pencils. B. The history of pencils. C. The design of pencils. D. The variety of pencils. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了铅笔的历史、发展、用途及其在人们生活中的持续影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“This story isn’t true, but it helps illustrate the usefulness of pencils.(这个故事不是真的，但它有助于说明铅笔的实用性)”可知，关于俄罗斯太空计划的故事有助于展示铅笔的用处。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The Italians finally thought of putting the graphite into a wooden holder.(意大利人最后想到了把石墨放进一个木架里)”可知，意大利人是第一个想到把石墨放进木架里的人。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“The HB (Hardness and Blackness) system of pencils was thus born. Soon after that, pencils were produced in large numbers and became common everywhere.(HB（硬度和黑度）铅笔系统就这样诞生了。此后不久，铅笔大量生产，并在各地变得普遍)”可知，让铅笔变得无处不在的是HB系统的诞生。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“The earliest form of the pencil was a metal stick that was used by the Romans.(最早的铅笔是罗马人使用的一根金属棒)”和最后一段“Today, more than 15 billion pencils are made each year. For many, the pencil is their preferred choice for a writing tool. Its design may have changed throughout the years, yet its usefulness has allowed it to continue making a mark on our lives.(如今，每年生产的铅笔超过150亿支。对许多人来说，铅笔是他们首选的书写工具。随着时间的推移，它的设计可能会发生变化，但它的实用性使它继续在我们的生活中留下印记)”可知，本文介绍了铅笔的历史、发展、用途及其在人们生活中的持续影响。由此可知，B选项“The history of pencils.(铅笔的历史)”能够概括文章主旨。故选B。 D Recycling is a great way of doing your bit for the environment and helping to protect the earth’s precious resources. However, a new study has revealed that our desire to be sustainable maybe doing more harm than good. According to waste company Biffa, this is because of “wish-cycling” — assuming that items such as disposable coffee cup sand pizza boxes will be recycled if put in the recycling bin. In fact, pollution from those items or other non-recyclables can result in recyclable items that have been put in the correct bin going to landfill. David Heaton, a business director at Biffa, said: “Pollution happens when items are disposed of in the wrong bins or haven’t been cleaned before being recycled.” Experts at Biffa analyzed the amounts of non-target and non-recyclable materials that entered UK material recycling facilities between 2016 and 2020. It was found that, in 2016, the average pollution rate of recycling waste was 13.4 percent, rising over four years to 17 percent by the end of 2020. This shows that, even as people are becoming more eco-conscious, wish-cycling is increasing both in households and businesses. The Biffa experts say that one of the best ways to prevent pollution of recycling is to clean recyclable waste before putting it in the bin. They suggest cutting off the top of old pizza boxes and only recycling that part to avoid pollution from the grease (油脂). Check the on-packaging recycling label to check it can actually be recycled When it comes to plastics, Biffa recommends checking the resin code, the number in the plastic triangle, to know whether it should go in the recycling bin. In general, resin codes 1, 2, 4 and 5 are recyclable, while 3, 6 and 7 are not. Larger items, like electronics, furniture and batteries, can also be recycled but often can not go in household recycling bins as they need specialist separating. These will need to be taken to recycling centers or sustainable waste management companies. “It’s vital as a nation that we get better at effective ‘pre-cycling’— sorting waste correctly before collection to reduce pollution rates,” added Mr. Heaton. 12. What’s the truth of “wish-cycling” according to the first paragraph? A. The desire to lead a sustainable life. B. The good intention to help recycling. C. The habit of throwing items that end up in landfills. D. The practice of recycling items that can not be recycled. 13. What has experts at Biffa concluded after their analysis? A. People are becoming more eco-conscious. B. Wish-cycling is on the rise in recent years. C. Pollution happens less frequently in recycling facilities. D. People are used to cleaning recyclable waste before putting it in the bin. 14. Which of the following is a proper way of recycling? A. Dispose of electronics together with household waste. B. Skip the step of checking the on-packaging recycling label. C. Check the resin code of plastics to see whether it is recyclable or not. D. Cutoff the top of old pizza box and throw the rest to the recycling bin. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Recycling: a Big Project B. Wish-cycling: a New Trend C. Wish-cycling: a Growing Concern D. Pre-cycling: an Effective Method 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“希望循环”所带来的问题，同时文章就如何正确回收提出建议。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“However, a new study has revealed that our desire to be sustainable maybe doing more harm than good.(然而，一项新的研究表明，我们对可持续发展的渴望可能弊大于利)”和“this is because of “wish-cycling” — assuming that items such as disposable coffee cup sand pizza boxes will be recycled if put in the recycling bin. (这是因为“希望循环”——认为一次性咖啡杯和比萨饼盒等物品如果放入回收箱就会被回收)”可知，“希望循环”的真相是人们认为把垃圾扔进回收箱就会被回收。由此可推知，这是一种帮助回收利用的好意。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This shows that, even as people are becoming more eco-conscious, wish-cycling is increasing both in households and businesses.(这表明，尽管人们越来越注重环保，但在家庭和企业中，“希望循环”的数量都在增加)”可知，近年来，“希望循环”的数量正在不断增加。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“When it comes to plastics, Biffa recommends checking the resin code, the number in the plastic triangle, to know whether it should go in the recycling bin. (当谈到塑料时，Biffa建议检查树脂代码，即塑料三角形中的数字，以了解它是否应该放入回收箱)”可知，检查塑料的树脂代码，看看它是否可回收，这是合适的回收方法，故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“However, a new study has revealed that our desire to be sustainable maybe doing more harm than good. According to waste company Biffa, this is because of “wish-cycling” — assuming that items such as disposable coffee cup sand pizza boxes will be recycled if put in the recycling bin. In fact, pollution from those items or other non-recyclables can result in recyclable items that have been put in the correct bin going to landfill. (然而，一项新的研究表明，我们对可持续发展的渴望可能弊大于利。据废品处理公司 Biffa 称，这是因为“希望循环”——假设一次性咖啡杯和比萨饼盒等物品如果放入回收箱就会被回收利用。事实上，来自这些物品或其他不可回收物品的污染会导致已经放入正确垃圾箱的可回收物品被送往垃圾填埋场)”可知，文章主要讲述了“希望回收”所带来的问题，同时文章就如何正确回收提出建议，由此可推知，C项“希望循环：一个日益关注的问题”适合做文章标题。故选C。 第二节 阅读七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Fast Fashion Do you like fast fashion?

He often used his fascinating stories of his youth to urge us children to fresh achievements. One day he came home from work early and saw me watching a local TV show-Talent Sprouts, a daily contest for kids fourteen and under. Four performances filled the half hour from 5:00 to 5:30.You might watch anything from a violin solo to a magic show. At the end the performers were spot lighted, and KMTV’s judges named a winner. It didn’t take Daddy long to look me in the eye. “You should go on Talent Sprouts. You can play ‘Ave Maria.’ Think of it-an unforgettable experience to be on TV as an eleven-year-old!” Before I argued, he had been already off on his story of the hilarious(滑稽的) glory of his performance. Thus, though I didn’t want to, I agreed. Actually, I did know Schubert’s “Ave Maria” a very easy version that used two hands to simplify those famous arpeggios(琶音). I did have it memorized. The next morning, I mailed my application with the required information. I had almost forgotten about it when the notice came for an audition time on a Saturday afternoon. Daddy said part of being independent and responsible was to go by myself. The bus went right by the KMTV studios. So that Saturday I checked in at the desk and sat down to wait. I was soon called. The host of Talent Sprouts, Lew Jeffrey, and the musical director, Warren Rudd described the routine for the participants and told me I could begin to play my piano piece. Into the eighth measure(小节) I noticed Warren Rudd nod to Lew Jeffrey. That gave me confidence, and I relaxed. Daddy was over the moon when I told him I had been assigned a day to perform less than two weeks away. Still, I had very little confidence in my talent. I knew I had an easy arrangement. I could never have played Schubert’s original. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: When my Monday came, I again took the bus to KMTV alone and waited. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Somehow my brain went to work and I continued playing. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para 1: When my Monday came, I again took the bus to KMTV alone and waited. Everything was familiar this time. But hearing the musical sounds and applause from time to time, I felt my heart was pounding with excitement and nervousness. Eventually, it was my turn. Taking a deep breath, I calmed down. Confident, I went to the piano and began to play. Easy, so easy! Fun almost ...right up to the coda at the end. I suddenly realized I should not be at the end! My heart jumped to my mouth. I had skipped a part. A huge part. How did that happen? Para 2: Somehow my brain went to work and I continued playing. I tried to smile at the camera and played the rest smoothly as if no skipping had happened. After what seemed an eternity, I stopped playing. However, it turned out that my performance had probably lasted barely a minute. Surely the result was as expected-I wasn’t the winner. On my way home, I surprised myself by feeling more relieved than disappointed. I could not pretend that my performance was best. In truth, the other three were far superior. When I came back home to talk about “The Big Skip”, Dad smiled, “It may not have been noticed by someone who doesn’t know Schubert’s ‘Ave Maria.’ Your movement was smooth. You didn’t fall apart. All in all, a worthwhile experience.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，这篇文章讲述了作者的父亲鼓励作者参加一个电视节目比赛。作者虽然没有信心，但还是同意了父亲的建议，并通过自己独自前往比赛的方式展示了独立和责任。在比赛中，作者忘记了一部分演奏内容，但仍然以自信的态度完成了演出。尽管没有得奖，但作者感到释然，父亲也鼓励她说这是一次有价值的经历。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当星期一到来的时候，我又独自坐公交车去KMTV并且等待比赛。”可知，第一段可描写作者等待过程中的心理以及商场比赛中发现自己忘记了一部分演奏内容的事实以及反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“不知怎么的，我的大脑开始工作了，我继续演奏。”可知，第二段可描写作者在表演现场中解决问题的方法以及得知比赛结果的反应，和父亲的安慰，同时也要描述作者的最终感悟。 2.续写线索：参加比赛——情绪紧张和激动——忘记一部分的演奏内容——坚持并完成表演——得知比赛结果——父亲安慰——最终感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走向钢琴：go to the piano/walk to the piano ②.错过一部分：skip a part/miss a part ③.回到家：come back home/return home 情绪类 ①.激动和紧张：with excitement and nervousness/excitedly and nervously ②.感到宽慰： feel relieved/ feel a sense of relief 【点睛】[高分句型1].  But hearing the musical sounds and applause from time to time, I felt my heart was pounding with excitement and nervousness. （由现在分词作状语，以及介词短语对情绪的描写） [高分句型2].

The Master Gardener program is an all-volunteer organization where you can develop your own leadership and teaching skills while teaching the younger youth about healthy eating, agriculture, and so on! Master Gardeners involve people in activities to improve their general well-being and overall enjoyment of life by helping them find sound management practices for home and urban natural resources, by creating pleasing environments through people-plant interactions and horticultural therapy (园艺疗法), and by providing a safe food supply through home fruit and vegetable production.

B William Lindesay, a famous Great Wall expert and conservationist, and his wife Wu Qi have traveled the globe by the back paths, providing their sons with a unique growing environment. Sun hats, backpacks and sneakers (运动鞋)—these are the day-to-day must-haves for the family. Most of their trips seem far from relaxing—cultural study in the hot and dry desert, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb to three English mountaintops and a six-day train ride from Beijing to Moscow. Many assume the family must be wealthy and can afford their global travel, but they are not. Lindesay says they just choose to spend money on travel and eschew pricey hotels and restaurants where possible. Lindesay mentions the trip to Moscow as an example. Instead of taking a taxi from the railway station to the hotel, they took the subway. “We crossed the city for saving money, communicated with local people, and saw they are people just like us, everywhere. We arrived at our destination feeling comfortable.” However, their journeys, which can last weeks or months, have sometimes been inconsistent with their children’s schooling. Wu remembers once Lindesay let their elder son ask for leave so that they could go to New York for a 45-day lecture tour. Therefore the son missed his final exam. Things like that bother the family all the time. Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but traveling outside, in distant lands with different languages, cultures, and political structures, is the real test. “You can only get streetwise on the street. You can only get worldly-wise when seeing the world,” he says. 4. How can we describe the Lindesays’ trips? A. Pleasant. B. Conventional C. Challenging. D. Dangerous. 5. What does the underlined word “eschew” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Visit. B. Avoid. C. Compare. D. Evaluate. 6. What problem does the family meet when traveling? A. They have scheduling conflicts. B. They suffer from a tight budget. C. They are faced with language barriers. D. They hold different educational ideas. 7. Which statement may Lindesay agree with according to the text? A. Toughness is the best assistant of will. B. Man who travels far knows more. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. There is no royal road to learning. C There’s a famous story about NASA and the Russian space programme. It is said that NASA spent millions of dollars developing a pen that would write in space. The Russians, on the other hand, just used a pencil. This story isn’t true, but it helps illustrate the usefulness of pencils. The earliest form of the pencil was a metal stick that was used by the Romans. The pencil that we know, however, got its start in England in 1564. In that year, farmers in a county north of London discovered graphite (石墨), which they called “black lead” and used to mark sheep. There was only one problem: the graphite blackened their hands and clothes. To prevent this from happening, they covered sheep skin around graphite sticks. The Italians finally thought of putting the graphite into a wooden holder. At first, they dug out wood and slid the graphite in. Later, though, they put the graphite between two pieces of wood and glued the wood together. Then, in 1662, some Germans learned how to use powdered (粉末的) graphite and began mass-producing pencils. The next major development occurred in the mid-18th century, when war broke out between England and France. Since England had the only source of graphite, France was unable to import the mineral. This led a Frenchman to mix clay (黏土) with the graphite powder that he had. By changing the amount of graphite in the mixture, he could control the hardness and darkness of the pencil. The HB (Hardness and Blackness) system of pencils was thus born. Soon after that, pencils were produced in large numbers and became common everywhere. Pencils are primarily used to write, but they can serve in other roles too. For example, rub a pencil over a newly- bought key to ensure that it slides easily into a lock. This method also works with zippers (拉链) that are repeatedly getting stuck. Additionally, use it as a replacement for a ruler to help you draw straight lines. Today, more than 15 billion pencils are made each year. For many, the pencil is their preferred choice for a writing tool. Its design may have changed throughout the years, yet its usefulness has allowed it to continue making a mark on our lives. 8. What does the story about the Russian space programme help to show? A. The darkness of pencils. B. The weakness of pencils. C. The hardness of pencils. D. The usefulness of pencils. 9. Who were the first to think of putting the graphite into a wooden holder? A. Italians. B. Germans. C. Englishmen. D. Frenchmen. 10. What made pencils become common everywhere? A. The outbreak of a war. B. The use of glued wood. C. The birth of the HB system. D. The import of the graphite. 11. What is the passage mainly about? A. The effect of pencils. B. The history of pencils. C. The design of pencils. D. The variety of pencils. D Recycling is a great way of doing your bit for the environment and helping to protect the earth’s precious resources. However, a new study has revealed that our desire to be sustainable maybe doing more harm than good. According to waste company Biffa, this is because of “wish-cycling” — assuming that items such as disposable coffee cup sand pizza boxes will be recycled if put in the recycling bin. In fact, pollution from those items or other non-recyclables can result in recyclable items that have been put in the correct bin going to landfill. David Heaton, a business director at Biffa, said: “Pollution happens when items are disposed of in the wrong bins or haven’t been cleaned before being recycled.” Experts at Biffa analyzed the amounts of non-target and non-recyclable materials that entered UK material recycling facilities between 2016 and 2020. It was found that, in 2016, the average pollution rate of recycling waste was 13.4 percent, rising over four years to 17 percent by the end of 2020. This shows that, even as people are becoming more eco-conscious, wish-cycling is increasing both in households and businesses. The Biffa experts say that one of the best ways to prevent pollution of recycling is to clean recyclable waste before putting it in the bin. They suggest cutting off the top of old pizza boxes and only recycling that part to avoid pollution from the grease (油脂). Check the on-packaging recycling label to check it can actually be recycled When it comes to plastics, Biffa recommends checking the resin code, the number in the plastic triangle, to know whether it should go in the recycling bin. In general, resin codes 1, 2, 4 and 5 are recyclable, while 3, 6 and 7 are not. Larger items, like electronics, furniture and batteries, can also be recycled but often can not go in household recycling bins as they need specialist separating. These will need to be taken to recycling centers or sustainable waste management companies. “It’s vital as a nation that we get better at effective ‘pre-cycling’— sorting waste correctly before collection to reduce pollution rates,” added Mr. Heaton. 12. What’s the truth of “wish-cycling” according to the first paragraph? A. The desire to lead a sustainable life. B. The good intention to help recycling. C. The habit of throwing items that end up in landfills. D. The practice of recycling items that can not be recycled. 13. What has experts at Biffa concluded after their analysis? A.

Independence! New experiences! He often used his fascinating stories of his youth to urge us children to fresh achievements. One day he came home from work early and saw me watching a local TV show-Talent Sprouts, a daily contest for kids fourteen and under. Four performances filled the half hour from 5:00 to 5:30.You might watch anything from a violin solo to a magic show. At the end the performers were spot lighted, and KMTV’s judges named a winner. It didn’t take Daddy long to look me in the eye. “You should go on Talent Sprouts. You can play ‘Ave Maria.’ Think of it-an unforgettable experience to be on TV as an eleven-year-old!” Before I argued, he had been already off on his story of the hilarious(滑稽的) glory of his performance. Thus, though I didn’t want to, I agreed. Actually, I did know Schubert’s “Ave Maria” a very easy version that used two hands to simplify those famous arpeggios(琶音). I did have it memorized. The next morning, I mailed my application with the required information. I had almost forgotten about it when the notice came for an audition time on a Saturday afternoon. Daddy said part of being independent and responsible was to go by myself. The bus went right by the KMTV studios. So that Saturday I checked in at the desk and sat down to wait. I was soon called. The host of Talent Sprouts Lew Jeffrey, and the musical director, Warren Rudd described the routine for the participants and told me I could begin to play my piano piece. Into the eighth measure(小节) I noticed Warren Rudd nod to Lew Jeffrey. That gave me confidence, and I relaxed. Daddy was over the moon when I told him I had been assigned a day to perform less than two weeks away. Still, I had very little confidence in my talent. I knew I had an easy arrangement. I could never have played Schubert’s original. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: When my Monday came, I again took the bus to KMTV alone and waited. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Somehow my brain went to work and I continued playing. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
