His strange habit makes sense when you consider that hes an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Steins jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume. Among the bag makers argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today. The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic. Environmentalists dont dispute(质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.24What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A. Help increase grocery sales.B. Recycle the waste material.C. Stop things falling off trucks.D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.25What does the word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Bans on plastic bags.B. Effects of city development.C. Headaches caused by garbage.D. Plastic bags hung in trees.26What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?A. They are quite expensive.B. Replacing them can be difficult.C. They are less strong than plastic bags.D. Producing them requires more energy.27What is the best title for the text?A. Plastic, Paper or NeitherB. Industry, Pollution and EnvironmentC. Recycle or Throw AwayD. Garbage Collection and Waste ControlCMy First Marathon A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didnt do either well. He later informed me that I was not athletic. The idea that I was not athletic stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about petition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldnt even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself. Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted! At mile 3, I passed a sign: GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again. By mile 21, I was starving! As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running. I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had. Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a marathon winner.8Amonthbeforethemarathon,theauthor _.A. waswelltrained B. feltscaredC. madeuphismindtorun D. losthope29WhydidtheauthormentiontheP.E.classinhis7thyear?A.

Oneisnevertoooldtolearn.D Asias mountain glaciers (冰川) will lose at least a third of their mass through global warming by the centurys end, with serious consequences for millions of people who rely on them for fresh water, researchers have said. The high mountains of Asia consist of a geographical region surrounding the Tibetan Plateau, holding the biggest store of frozen water outside the poles. It feeds many of the worlds great rivers, including the Ganges, the Indus and the Yarlung Zangbo River, on which hundreds of millions of people depend. Nearly 200 nations adopted the Paris Agreement in xx, which sets the goal of limiting warming to a level of “well below” 2C, while “pursuing efforts” to achieve a lower ceiling of 1.5C. Earths surface has already warmed by about 1C, according to scientists.The Asian high mountains, the new study said, were already warming more rapidly than the global average. A global temperature rise of 1.5C would mean an average increase in the region of about 2.1C, with differences between mountain ranges - all of which will warm by more than 1.5C. The Hindu Kush mountain range would warm by about 2.3C and the eastern Himalaya Mountains by 1.9C, the study forecast. “Even if temperatures stabilize at their current level, (glacier) mass loss will continue for decades to e,” the researchers added. “For the high mountain glaciers to survive, it is vital to reduce the global temperature increase to the lowest possible level.” A study in July in the journal Nature Climate Change said there was only a 5% chance of holding global warming under 2C. For 1.5C, the chance was about 1%. On current trends, some experts project Earth is on track to warm by about 3C.32What is stressed about Asias mountain glaciers in the first paragraph?A. The reason for its melting.B. Its importance.C. Its geographical condition.D. The consequences caused by its decrease.33What do we know about the temperature on the earths surface?A. It keeps up its normal level.B. It has risen too much since the Paris Agreement was made.C. It is far below the level that the Paris Agreement demands.D. It is near the lower ceiling that the Paris Agreement demands.34How may we guarantee these glaciers, continued existence, according to researchers?A. Hold global warming under 2C.B. Try to save water as much as we can.C. Keep global temperature increase to a minimum.D. Make the global temperature stable at its current level.35How does the author develop the passage?A. Giving examples. B. Describing.C. Presenting data. D. paring.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，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。 You are one of the most familiar faces in class, not because you are funny or have great note-taking abilities but because you ask the most number of questions. 36 It is important to have a good way to ask questions. Here are a few tips for improving your questioning skills:Be clear about what you want to know. Be clear about what you want to know and frame your question accordingly. 37 If you beat around the bush, your teachers wont be entirely sure what it is that you havent understood, or need an explanation for. 38 . If you are uncertain about a particular subject, make it clear when it is being discussed. If you put your question in context (语境), you can be sure of it. Because questions often open up new avenues within a subject, doing this would benefit the whole class.Dont hesitate to talk to your teacher after class. 39 Therefore, if you feel unfortable about asking a question in front of your classmates, wait till the class is over. This will probably put you more at ease.Write down your questions. 40 They may appear when youre studying, reading or taking notes. Note them down on a piece of paper so that you wont forget to ask them later. This can also make sure that you dont have any unanswered questions when the exam approaches.A. Dont ask more questions once a time.B. Questions may appear at any time.C. Being curious is not a bad quality.D. You may think it is good to ask no questions.E. Ask questions related to the context.F. A question needs to be easy to be understood and to the point.G.
