During the last five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric to deal with plastic pollution. But there’s a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea. Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara, California, has been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years now. He explains that every time synthetic clothes go into a washing machine, a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing machines can’t collect these microfibers. So every time the water gets out of a washing machine, microfibers are entering the sewers and finally end up in the sea. In 2011, Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic(合成的) clothing can produce more than 1, 900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples from seawater and freshwater sites around the world, and used a special way to examine each sample. He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers. This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can absorb other pollutants. Based on this evidence, it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental “solution.” Even though the science has been around for a while, Browne explains that he's had a difficult time getting companies to listen. When he asked well-known clothing companies to support Benign by Design-his research project that seeks to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didn’t get a satisfying answer. Only one women’s clothing company, Eileen Fisher, offered Browne funding. 8. What has happened during the past five years? A. Fabric has become much stronger. B. Plastic pollution has been less serious. C. Many plastic bottles have been reused. D. Microfibers have been greatly improved. 9. What does Browne think of washing synthetic clothes? A. It is adding microfibers to the clothes. B. It is worsening environmental problems. C. It is making synthetic clothes last longer. D. It is doing great damage to washing machines. 10. What can be inferred about Browne’s Benign by Design research project? A. It has achieved great success. B. It hasn’t got anything done. C. It is known to very few people. D. It is facing some difficulties. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. It’s important to learn to recycle B. It’s never easy to solve pollution problems C. Recycled plastic clothing: solution or pollution? D. Are human beings moving forward or backward? 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在处理塑料污染方面，把可回收塑料重组成衣服的一部分不失为一个好办法，但研究表明，合成型衣服的清洗会产生大量纤维，其中微纤维对海洋环境的危害最为严重。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段“During the last five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric to deal with plastic pollution. ”可知，在过去的五年里，很多制衣公司，企业和环境组织已经开始把塑料转换成纤维来解决环境污染问题。结合上文，企业是用可回收塑料瓶转换成纤维。由此，在这五年会有很多塑料瓶被再次利用，结合选项，故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段“He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers.”可知，Browne通过自己的研究发现世界各地海水样本中都存在微纤维。结合第四段Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten.可知，微纤维对海洋生物有很大的危害。由此，合成型衣服的清洗会产生大量微纤维，微纤维的排放会加重海洋问题，结合选项，故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段“When he asked well-known clothing companies to support Benign by Design-his research project that seeks to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didn’t get a satisfying answer. ”可知，在Browne要求世界知名制衣公司支持把对人类和环境有危害的衣服撤出市场的研究项目时，Browne并没有得到一个令人满意的答案。由此可推知，他的研究项目Benign by Design遇到了难题，结合选项，故选D。 【11题详解】 标题判断题。由第一段“ During the last five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric to deal with plastic pollution.”（ 在过去的五年里，大量的服装公司、企业和环保组织已经开始将塑料变成织物来处理塑料污染）和第一段“Research now shows that microfibers could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.”（ 研究显示,微纤维是海洋塑料的最大来源。）由此可知，文章就这项技术究竟是对环境的保护还是对环境的再次污染进行说明。故C项（Recycled plastic clothing: solution or pollution?）回收塑料服装：是解决方案还是污染？能够概括文章中心，可作为标题。故选C。 D Nelson Mandela was born in South Africa on July 18, 1918 and he is the first Black president of South Africa. Mandela was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1993. In 1944, Mandela joined the African National Congress (ANC) and became a leader of its Youth League. That same year he married Evelyn Ntoko Mase. In 1952, Mandela established South Africa’s first Black law practice. From 1964 to 1982 Mandela was kept at Robben Island Prison (监狱). He was then kept at the Pollsmoor Prison until 1990, when, after being treated for bad health, he was moved to the Victor Verster Prison. Throughout his incarceration between 1964 and 1990, Mandela gained wide support among South Africa’s Black people. On February 11 1990, the South African government set Mandela free from prison. Shortly after gaining freedom, Mandela was chosen deputy president (副总统)of the ANC and he became president of the party in July 1991. In April, 1994, the Mandela-led ANC won South Africa’s first election (选举) and on May 10, Mandela became president of the country. Mandela gave up his post with the ANC in December 1997. After leaving office, Mandela retired from active politics but maintained a strong international presence as an advocate of peace and social justice. Mandela Day was created to honour his contributions to promoting peace and justice around the world. It was first observed on July 18, 2009. Later that year the United Nations declared that the day would be observed every year as Nelson Mandela International Day. Mandela’s writings were collected in I Am Prepared to Die (1964), No Easy Walk to Freedom (1965), The Struggle Is My Life (1978), and In His Om Words (2003). The book Long Walk to Freedom, which records his early life and years in prison, was published in 1994. 12. What does the underlined word “incarceration” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Being free. B.

He was then kept at the Pollsmoor Prison until 1990, when, after being treated for bad health, he was moved to the Victor Verster Prison.（从1964年到1982年，曼德拉被关押在罗本岛监狱。然后，他被关押在波尔斯穆尔监狱，直到1990年，在因健康状况不佳而接受治疗后，他被转移到维克多·韦斯特监狱）”可知，从1964年到1982年，曼德拉一直被关在监狱里。由此猜测，划线词句子“Throughout his incarceration between 1964 and 1990, Mandela gained wide support among South Africa’s Black people.”意为“在1964年至1990年的监禁期间，曼德拉获得了南非黑人的广泛支持”，即incarceration的意思是“监禁”。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“In 1944, Mandela joined the African National Congress (ANC) and became a leader of its Youth League.（1944年，曼德拉加入非洲国民大会，并成为其青年团的领导人）”可知，曼德拉于1944年加入African National Congress，“In 1952, Mandela established South Africa’s first Black law practice. From 1964 to 1982 Mandela was kept at Robben Island Prison (监狱). He was then kept at the Pollsmoor Prison until 1990, when, after being treated for bad health, he was moved to the Victor Verster Prison. （1952年，曼德拉建立了南非第一个黑人法律机构。1964年到1982年，曼德拉被关押在罗本岛监狱。随后，他被关押在波尔斯莫尔监狱，直到1990年，在因健康状况不佳接受治疗后，他被转移到维克多·维斯特监狱）”可知，曼德拉于1952年建立了第一个黑人法律机构，1964到1982年被关在罗本岛监狱，然后1990年被转移到Victor Verster监狱；根据倒数第二段的“In April, 1994, the Mandela-led ANC won South Africa’s first election (选举) and on May 10, Mandela became president of the country. （1994年4月，曼德拉领导的非国大赢得了南非的第一次选举，5月10日，曼德拉成为南非总统）”可知，1994年5月曼德拉称为南非总统。因此，事件的正确顺序是②⑤③④①。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Mandela Day was created to honour his contributions to promoting peace and justice around the world. It was first observed on July 18, 2009. Later that year the United Nations declared that the day would be observed every year as Nelson Mandela International Day.（设立曼德拉日是为了纪念他为促进世界和平与正义所作的贡献。首次庆祝是在2009年7月18日。同年晚些时候，联合国宣布每年将这一天定为纳尔逊·曼德拉国际日）”可知，曼德拉日首次庆祝是在2009年。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第一段“Nelson Mandela was born in South Africa on July 18, 1918 and he is the first Black president of South Africa. Mandela was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1993.（纳尔逊·曼德拉1918年7月18日出生于南非，他是南非第一位黑人总统。曼德拉于1993年获得诺贝尔和平奖）”可知，本文的主要目的是介绍纳尔逊·曼德拉。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后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。 Have you ever felt like others don’t understand your pain when they seem to be living a happy life?

It was a one and-a-half-floor house. We had to decorate it first because it was so old. I started to paint the walls and the doors outside. I also broke the broken fence (篱笆) and grew some flowers. After I finished painting the walls of the bedroom upstairs inside, I brought up some water to wash the window. I washed the inside first, then opened the window and stepped out on the kitchen roof to wash the outside. The window was the kind that you couldn’t open from the outside. I was so devoted to my housework that I didn’t realize the window gradually closed. After finishing cleaning; I tried to open the window but failed. Standing on my kitchen roof, I looked around the neighborhood. That was a lovely afternoon. Where were the neighbor’s kids riding their bikes? They used to ride back from the park. Now no young voices shouted to one another. Carroll and Julie,an old couple, lived in the house at the corner. They were likely to be at home, but our kitchen was on the wrong side of our house for me to call them. I sat down and thought about my situation. Even if someone came along, they couldn’t walk in the house and open the window. The doors were locked by my husband before he went to work. “When you’re working on an indoor project, anyone could open the door and come in. So just keep the doors closed.” he said. I sat there, thinking how stupid I was and what I should do. 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。 Then I heard there was a child laughing nearby. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The boy went to ask for help. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Then I heard there was a child laughing nearby. I stood up and looked down the street. Sure enough, there was a little boy. He was riding his bike. I told him that I was washing the window and it shut. He looked up, saw me, and laughed. After all, it’s not an everyday case that you see an old lady on a roof. I told him to ask my next-door neighbors to come and help me. “Of course,” he simply answered. The boy went to ask for help. Soon Carroll and Julie came, bringing a long rope with them. And then I climbed down. I sincerely thanked them for their kind help. The doors were locked and the keys were in the house, so my lovely neighbors invited me to their house to celebrate my rescue with coffee, cookies, and laughter. A few hours later, my husband came back. I said thanks to them again and went home. From then on, I definitely believe that a far-off relative is not as helpful as a near neighbor. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和丈夫搬到新地方,买了一所老房子,需要粉刷和打扫，作者在粉刷房子以后开始清理窗子，意外地把自己关在房子外，陷入困境的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后我听到附近有个孩子在笑。”可知，第一段可描写作者遇到一个男孩并请他帮忙。 ②由第二段首句内容“男孩去请求帮助。”可知，第二段可描写小男孩请邻居帮助作者。 2.续写线索：等待——请求——获救——感谢——做客——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.帮忙：help/give a hand/do a favour for ②.返回：come back /return 情绪类 ①.感谢：thank sb. for/show one’s appreciation/show one’s gratitude/be grateful ②.开怀大笑：laughter/roar with laughter/a broad smile 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

During the last five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric to deal with plastic pollution. But there’s a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea. Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara, California, has been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years now. He explains that every time synthetic clothes go into a washing machine, a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing machines can’t collect these microfibers. So every time the water gets out of a washing machine, microfibers are entering the sewers and finally end up in the sea. In 2011, Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic(合成的) clothing can produce more than 1, 900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples from seawater and freshwater sites around the world, and used a special way to examine each sample. He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers. This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can absorb other pollutants. Based on this evidence, it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental “solution.” Even though the science has been around for a while, Browne explains that he's had a difficult time getting companies to listen. When he asked well-known clothing companies to support Benign by Design-his research project that seeks to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didn’t get a satisfying answer. Only one women’s clothing company, Eileen Fisher, offered Browne funding. 8. What has happened during the past five years? A. Fabric has become much stronger. B. Plastic pollution has been less serious. C. Many plastic bottles have been reused. D. Microfibers have been greatly improved. 9. What does Browne think of washing synthetic clothes? A. It is adding microfibers to the clothes. B. It is worsening environmental problems. C. It is making synthetic clothes last longer. D. It is doing great damage to washing machines. 10. What can be inferred about Browne’s Benign by Design research project? A. It has achieved great success. B. It hasn’t got anything done. C. It is known to very few people. D. It is facing some difficulties. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. It’s important to learn to recycle B. It’s never easy to solve pollution problems C. Recycled plastic clothing: solution or pollution? D. Are human beings moving forward or backward? D Nelson Mandela was born in South Africa on July 18, 1918 and he is the first Black president of South Africa. Mandela was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1993. In 1944, Mandela joined the African National Congress (ANC) and became a leader of its Youth League. That same year he married Evelyn Ntoko Mase. In 1952, Mandela established South Africa’s first Black law practice. From 1964 to 1982 Mandela was kept at Robben Island Prison (监狱). He was then kept at the Pollsmoor Prison until 1990, when, after being treated for bad health, he was moved to the Victor Verster Prison.

After leaving office, Mandela retired from active politics but maintained a strong international presence as an advocate of peace and social justice. Mandela Day was created to honour his contributions to promoting peace and justice around the world. It was first observed on July 18, 2009. Later that year the United Nations declared that the day would be observed every year as Nelson Mandela International Day. Mandela’s writings were collected in I Am Prepared to Die (1964), No Easy Walk to Freedom (1965), The Struggle Is My Life (1978), and In His Om Words (2003).

It was a one and-a-half-floor house. We had to decorate it first because it was so old. I started to paint the walls and the doors outside. I also broke the broken fence (篱笆) and grew some flowers. After I finished painting the walls of the bedroom upstairs inside, I brought up some water to wash the window. I washed the inside first, then opened the window and stepped out on the kitchen roof to wash the outside. The window was the kind that you couldn’t open from the outside. I was so devoted to my housework that I didn’t realize the window gradually closed. After finishing cleaning; I tried to open the window but failed. Standing on my kitchen roof, I looked around the neighborhood. That was a lovely afternoon. Where were the neighbor’s kids riding their bikes? They used to ride back from the park. Now no young voices shouted to one another. Carroll and Julie,an old couple, lived in the house at the corner. They were likely to be at home, but our kitchen was on the wrong side of our house for me to call them. I sat down and thought about my situation. Even if someone came along, they couldn’t walk in the house and open the window. The doors were locked by my husband before he went to work. “When you’re working on an indoor project, anyone could open the door and come in. So just keep the doors closed.” he said. I sat there, thinking how stupid I was and what I should do. 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。 Then I heard there was a child laughing nearby. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The boy went to ask for help. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
