Look around you—how many plastic things can you find in your house? Most homes today are almost full of plastic, from water bottles to clothes, chairs and even computers. Regretfully, so are our rivers and oceans.
According to research, about 583 billion (十亿) plastic bottles were produced in 2021. That is 100 billion more than just five years ago. This year, five trillion (万亿) plastic bags are used. That’s 160, 000 every second. Americans alone use 500 million drinking straws (吸管) every day.
However, very little of the plastic that goes into recycling bins (回收箱) can make it through the recycling process. It’s said that only around 9 percent of the plastic is recycled. About 19 percent is burned for electricity or heat. The rest ends up in landfills (填埋场) or bodies of water.
Not all the plastic things you put in your recycling bin can be recycled and reused. In most cases, plastic things can’t be used again if they have more than one kind of plastic in them. That’s because some plastic can’t be mixed together.
How about those plastic things that are able to be recycled at a recycling center? First, the workers make sure that each plastic is clean. After that, the plastic things are made into small pieces. At last, they are melted (熔化) and used to create new things. One of the commonly seen products is new plastic bottles. Recycled plastic can also be used to make clothes, pens, pencils and building materials!
13. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. We shouldn’t make plastic things.
B. People won’t use plastic things any more.
C. We can’t live without plastic.
D. People should worry about plastic.
14. How does the writer show plastic is a problem in Paragraph 2?
A. By telling a story. B. By asking questions.
C. By listing numbers. D. By describing a scene.
15. How much plastic can be reused according to Paragraph 3?
A. 19%. B. 28%. C. 9%. D. 75%.
16. Why can’t some of the plastic things be recycled and reused?
A. Because they aren’t put in the recycling bin.
B. Because they are used to create new things.
C. Because they have more than one kind of plastic in them.
D. Because they are valuable and helpful to us.
【答案】13. D 14. C 15. C 16. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了塑料污染的严峻现状、塑料回收利用率低的原因以及可回收塑料的处理过程和用途。
【13题详解】
根据第一段“Regretfully, so are our rivers and oceans.”可推知塑料污染已经蔓延到河流和海洋,情况令人遗憾,暗示人们应该担心塑料带来的环境问题。
【14题详解】
根据第二段“about 583 billion plastic bottles were produced in 2021. That is 100 billion more than just five years...are used.”可知,作者通过“列举大量具体的数字”来说明塑料使用量巨大,是一个严重的问题。
【15题详解】
根据第三段“It’s said that only around 9 percent of the plastic is recycled. ”可知,9%的塑料被回收再使用。
【16题详解】
根据第四段“plastic things can’t be used again if they have more than one kind of plastic in them.”可知,因为部分塑料物品中含有不止一种塑料,导致它们无法被混合回收再利用。
第二节
阅读下面短文,从短文后的五个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
What can decide whether you are happy or not? The International Day of Happiness falls on March 20. Do you think you are a happy person?
Some scientists have worked out “happiness formulas (公式)”. ____17____ In 2002, he shared his formula: Happiness=S(50%)+C(10%)+V(40%).
S stands for the genes (基因). Scientists found that some people are born to be happy more easily than others. C is for the environment around us, such as the place you live in and the work you do. ____18____ The UK scientist Cliff Arnall said that happiness is more about outdoor activities. ____19____ O stands for being outdoors. N is for nature, and S is for your social activities (社交活动). Cpm is for nice childhood memories (童年记忆) in summer. T is for temperature (温度) and He is for holiday excitement. Arnall said, “I wanted my formula to show that the key to happiness can really be simple.”
____20____ What is your “happiness formula”?
A. However, happiness may mean different things to different people.
B. The US psychologist (心理学家) Martin Seligman was one of them.
C. The other 40 percent comes from what you can do.
D. For example, you can learn to keep feeling good about your future.
E. His formula is: Happiness=O+(N×S)+Cpm/T+He.
【答案】17. B 18. C 19. E 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,围绕“幸福公式”这一主题,介绍了几位科学家提出的不同幸福计算公式,并指出幸福可能因人而异。
【17题详解】
前一句说“Some scientists have worked out ‘happiness formulas’”,空白处需介绍其中一位科学家,后一句“he shared his formula”指代此人,因此B项The US psychologist Martin Seligman was one of them.符合语境。
【18题详解】
第二段公式Happiness=S(50%)+C(10%)+V(40%),S和C已在前文解释,V占40%,但未说明,因此需补充说明V代表什么。C项The other 40 percent comes from what you can do直接对应V的含义,使公式完整。
【19题详解】
前一句提到英国科学家Cliff Arnall认为幸福与户外活动有关,后文解释了O、N、S、Cpm、T、He的含义,因此需填入他的具体公式,E项His formula is: Happiness=O+(N×S)+Cpm/T+He正好引出后文的符号解释,逻辑紧密。
【20题详解】
前文介绍了两种不同的幸福公式(Seligman和Arnall),空白处需引出对“幸福公式”的总结性观点,后文问“你的幸福公式是什么?”,暗示幸福因人而异,A项However, happiness may mean different things to different people既承接前文的多样性,又自然引出结尾提问。

【29题详解】
句意:但如果他把水放进水泵里,他可能会得到足够的水来帮助他走出沙漠,或者什么也得不到。
nothing没有什么;anything任何事;something一些事;everything一切事。根据“or”以及前文假设的两种情况,指的是一种是得到足够的水走出沙漠,或者什么都得不到。故选A。
【30题详解】
句意:他尽可能地喝了很多,然后又把瓶子装满了水。

阅读短文,然后根据短文内容回答问题。
With the development of technology, people’s life has changed greatly. In the past, connecting with friends meant spending time with them in person. Today, most young people like to connect with their friends online better. They think it is a good way to keep in touch with their friends. However, experts worry that many young people are so busy connecting with friends online that they may lose their real-world friendships.
Technology hurts friendships. When we communicate with our friends in front of a screen, it’s easier to misread their tones (语调) or body language. We might think friends are smiling while they are actually upset. A friend might send a text message as a joke that says,“You are the worst friend!” But our feelings might be hurt because we think he’s serious.
——Andy
Technology doesn’t hurt friendships. In fact, it can make them stronger. My best friends live in California where I used to live. The last time I met them in person was three years ago. But I talk to them online every week. It feels like they are right there with me. Without technology, there wouldn’t be close friends anymore.
——Anna
According to experts, staying connected online is not enough to build true friendships. Spending time together face-to-face is also quite important, especially when people are in trouble. During the hard times, people don’t need someone who likes their pictures or posts. What they really need is someone who can offer them help.
41. How do young people like to keep in touch with their friends now?
__________________________________________________________
42. According to Andy, what problem might people meet when communicating with their friends online?
__________________________________________________________
43. How long hasn’t Anna met her friends in California in person?
__________________________________________________________
44. Do you think technology is hurting your friendships? Why or why not? Write 30 words or more.
__________________________________________________________
【答案】41.
They like to connect with their friends online.
42.
It’s easier to misread their friends’ tones or body language and their feelings may get hurt.
43.
For three years.
44.
No, I don’t. Technology helps me keep in touch with my friends when we can’t meet in person. But I also value face-to-face time to make our friendship real and lasting.

【答案】例文:
Activities on Weekends
Last week, our school did a survey on students’ weekend activities.
The results show that 30% of students study or read books. Another 30% surf the Internet or play games. 25% watch TV or listen to music. However, only 10% do sports and 5% travel.

Look around you—how many plastic things can you find in your house? Most homes today are almost full of plastic, from water bottles to clothes, chairs and even computers. Regretfully, so are our rivers and oceans.
According to research, about 583 billion (十亿) plastic bottles were produced in 2021. That is 100 billion more than just five years ago. This year, five trillion (万亿) plastic bags are used. That’s 160, 000 every second. Americans alone use 500 million drinking straws (吸管) every day.
However, very little of the plastic that goes into recycling bins (回收箱) can make it through the recycling process. It’s said that only around 9 percent of the plastic is recycled. About 19 percent is burned for electricity or heat. The rest ends up in landfills (填埋场) or bodies of water.
Not all the plastic things you put in your recycling bin can be recycled and reused. In most cases, plastic things can’t be used again if they have more than one kind of plastic in them. That’s because some plastic can’t be mixed together.
How about those plastic things that are able to be recycled at a recycling center? First, the workers make sure that each plastic is clean. After that, the plastic things are made into small pieces. At last, they are melted (熔化) and used to create new things. One of the commonly seen products is new plastic bottles. Recycled plastic can also be used to make clothes, pens, pencils and building materials!
13. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. We shouldn’t make plastic things.
B. People won’t use plastic things any more.
C. We can’t live without plastic.
D. People should worry about plastic.
14. How does the writer show plastic is a problem in Paragraph 2?
A. By telling a story. B. By asking questions.
C. By listing numbers. D. By describing a scene.
15. How much plastic can be reused according to Paragraph 3?
A. 19%. B. 28%. C. 9%. D. 75%.
16. Why can’t some of the plastic things be recycled and reused?
A. Because they aren’t put in the recycling bin.
B. Because they are used to create new things.
C. Because they have more than one kind of plastic in them.
D. Because they are valuable and helpful to us.

With the development of technology, people’s life has changed greatly. In the past, connecting with friends meant spending time with them in person. Today, most young people like to connect with their friends online better. They think it is a good way to keep in touch with their friends. However, experts worry that many young people are so busy connecting with friends online that they may lose their real-world friendships.
Technology hurts friendships. When we communicate with our friends in front of a screen, it’s easier to misread their tones (语调) or body language. We might think friends are smiling while they are actually upset. A friend might send a text message as a joke that says,“You are the worst friend!” But our feelings might be hurt because we think he’s serious.
——Andy
Technology doesn’t hurt friendships. In fact, it can make them stronger. My best friends live in California where I used to live. The last time I met them in person was three years ago. But I talk to them online every week. It feels like they are right there with me. Without technology, there wouldn’t be close friends anymore.
——Anna
According to experts, staying connected online is not enough to build true friendships. Spending time together face-to-face is also quite important, especially when people are in trouble. During the hard times, people don’t need someone who likes their pictures or posts. What they really need is someone who can offer them help.
41. How do young people like to keep in touch with their friends now?
__________________________________________________________
42. According to Andy, what problem might people meet when communicating with their friends online?
__________________________________________________________
43. How long hasn’t Anna met her friends in California in person?
