(2024·河南部分重点中学高一联考)
Tulane University students Franziska Trautmann and Max Steitz were sharing their disappointment about having no glass recycling in New Orleans.They wanted to create a system that would recycle glass into something useful.With that, their grassroots glass recycling organisation, Glass Half Full, was born.
In a period of a global sand shortage, Glass Half Full is creating a sustainable alternative to sand extraction(开采) techniques like digging and mining, which disturb ecosystems, damage coastlines, and cost millions of dollars.Louisiana, where the organisation is based, loses on average a football field of coastal wetlands an hour.Glass Half Full creates sand that, among other things, is used to rebuild coastlines and prevent floods.
Glass and drink bottles are collected through a system of free drop-off collecting stations and roadside pickup.The glass is pulverised(粉碎), separated and recollected for use in varieties of projects.The sand and glass pieces are used for disaster prevention, coastal restoration, eco-construction, and new glass products.
Founders Trautmann and Steitz also hope their project will make people think that they have the power to work to protect the environment as individuals and as a community.Trautmann said, “We always hear, ‘Oh, we can't do anything about global warming.We can't do anything about the environment.It's all the big companies and the government.It's up to them.’ But when you collect glass over one year, you will know individuals can do something.All those little things add up to something much bigger.”
Glass Half Full's work is supported by a team of volunteers and crowdfunding efforts, making it truly a community effort.A successful one, too— in their very first year, they helped to recycle over 650,000 pounds of glass.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了杜兰大学的学生特劳特曼和施泰茨建立了一个基层玻璃回收组织以保护环境的情况。
1.What is the idea behind Glass Half Full?
A.Selling more recyclable glass.
B.Recycling glass into something useful.
C.Founding a grassroots organisation.
D.Raising money to protect the environment.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知,杜兰大学的学生特劳特曼和施泰茨在分享他们对新奥尔良没有玻璃回收服务的失望。他们想要创造一个系统,将玻璃回收成有用的东西。因此,“玻璃半满”背后的想法是将玻璃回收成有用的东西。故选B项。
2.What does the underlined word“disturb” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Improve. B.Punish.
C.Break. D.Repair.
答案:C
解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段画线词所在句的内容可知,在全球沙子短缺的时期,“玻璃半满”正在创造一种可持续发展的方法,以替代挖沙和采矿等采砂技术,挖沙和采矿会破坏海岸线,耗资数百万美元。因此这里都在说挖沙和采矿的缺点,即“破坏”生态系统。故选C项。
3.What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The result of glass recycling.
B.The reason for glass recycling.
C.The future of glass recycling.
D.The way of glass recycling.
答案:D
解析:段落大意题。第三段开头提到了玻璃瓶和饮料瓶通过免费收集站和路边拾取系统收集;紧接着又介绍了玻璃被粉碎、分离和回收用于各种工程及沙子和玻璃碎屑的用途。因此,本段主要讲的是玻璃回收的方式。故选D项。
4.What can be drawn from Trautmann's words?
A.Individuals can make a difference.
B.Global warming affects governments.
C.Big companies can deal with global warming.
D.We can do nothing about environmental protection.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段特劳特曼的话“但当你收集玻璃超过一年,你就会知道个人是可以做一些事情的。所有这些小事积少成多,会产生更大的影响”可知,在环境保护方面,个人也可以有所作为。故选A项。

As one of the driest deserts on Earth, the Atacama Desert is a bucket list destination for star-observing tourists who come for some of the clearest views of the night sky.As its rocky landscape is much like Mars, the desert has even attracted the attention of NASA, which has tested rovers there.
But the Atacama has also got attention as one of the world's fast-growing dumps(垃圾场) of used clothes, thanks to the rapid mass production of inexpensive clothing known as fast fashion.The phenomenon has created so much waste that the UN calls it“an environmental and social emergency”.The challenge is turning off that tap.
The numbers tell the tale.Between 2000 and 2014, clothing production doubled and people began buying 60% more clothes and wearing them for half as long as they once did.Three-fifths of all clothing is estimated to end up in landfills within a year of production— that translates to a truckload of used clothing dumped or burned every second.Most of the facilities are in South Asia or Africa, where the nations receiving those loads cannot handle the amount.The scene in northern Chile has been called“the great fashion garbage patch”.Hills of used clothes, with labels from all over the world, stretch as far as the eye can see on the outskirts of Alto Hospicio, a city of 120,000 residents.
New efforts, large and small, are under way to deal with clothing waste.In 2018, Franklin Zepeda founded a company that produces building-insulation panels(建筑隔热板) from the waste.“I was inspired by the idea that there was a great deal of waste that could perfectly be changed into raw materials to make new products, reducing the amount of clothes in our desert,” he says.
These are small but crucial(关键性的) steps.The most promising solution— and one that can solve the problem in a wider range— lies in the hands of the Chilean government.

5.What attracts the star-observing tourists to the Atacama?
A.The clear night sky. B.The rocky landscape.
C.The driest desert. D.Mars-like scenery.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As one of the driest deserts on Earth, the Atacama Desert is a bucket list destination for star-observing tourists who come for some of the clearest views of the night sky.”可知,阿塔卡马沙漠晴朗的夜空吸引了观星游客。故选A项。
6.What can be inferred about Franklin Zepeda's company?
A.It is expert in producing panels.
B.It changes waste into raw materials.
C.It makes the desert into a tourist attraction.
D.It makes full use of the waste in the desert.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知,该公司利用垃圾生产建筑隔热板,从而减少了沙漠中的旧衣服数量。由此推知,它充分利用了沙漠中的废物。故选D项。
7.What will probably be talked about next?
A.Promising future of Chile.
B.Support from other governments.
C.The Chilean government's measures.
D.Similar problems in other countries.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。最后一段提到,最有希望的解决方案——也是一个可以在更大范围内解决问题的方案——掌握在智利政府手中,由此可推断,下文可能会谈论智利政府的措施。故选C项。
8.What can be the best title for the text?
A.A Bucket List Destination
B.Fashion Waste in Atacama
C.NASA's Attention to Atacama
D.Efforts to Deal With Fast Fashion
答案:B
解析:标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其是第二段内容可知,文章主要介绍了有着最晴朗夜空的阿塔卡马沙漠由于快时尚垃圾而成为世界上快速发展的旧衣服堆积地之一,下文介绍了为解决这一问题所作的努力。故B项(阿塔卡马的时尚垃圾)最能概括文章主旨,适合作为文章的最佳标题。
