plastic bottles Some people think it is healthy and clean Others drink bottled water because it s easy you can carry it around with you In hot countries like Greece we often buy bottles of cold water in summer However making lots of plastic is not a good idea for many reasons First of all we need a lot of oil for plastic products We usually use oil as a source 资源 of energy If we reduced the number of bottles we made we wouldn t need so much oil Plastic bottles also pollute the environment If we recycled all our plastic bottles we wouldn t need so much space for rubbish dumps But in Greece we don t recycle much of the plastic we use In 2006 Greeks recycled only about 10 of plastic waste The rest became rubbish on land and in rivers and seas So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the litter bin stop and think If you recycled it you would help the environment But what can you do when there isn t a recycling bin near you Well there are lots of useful ways that you can use your bottles again For example an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money and if you cut a bottle in half you will have a plant pot Go green You can make a difference 1 What is

太阳系 It is a 第 3 页 共 11 页 planet that could support life This planet is just 4 2 light years away from us It is so close that space scientists have considered it as a next door neighbor They say it could be reached by an unmanned spaceship before the end of the century in time for people alive today to see it An international team of scientists found the planet moving around the star called Proxima Centauri The result came out last month from the scientific magazine Nature Scientists have long thought that a planet with water is important for life And it has to be neither too hot nor too cold The newly discovered planet is a little larger than earth Scientists have named it Proxima B It moves around its sun Proxima Centauri once every 11 days American scientists have been using instruments for years to look for earth like planets In 2013 scientists best guess was that there are about one billion 1 000 million earths in space Alan Boss is the chairman of a group for outer space research He said that Proxima B not only confirms 确认 the discovery of a planet but also increases the number of other possible earths greatly Boss said it is possible even likely that most stars have at least one earth like planet which he considers surprising So from the early number of a billion this new research suggests there may be as many possible earth like planets as there are stars in the Galaxy 银河系 That is anywhere from 250 billion to 500 billion earths This makes the possibility of living things increasingly likely Boss said he believes human beings will be able to show that there is life in places besides earth in his lifetime I am 65 he said but I expect to still be alive when it happens 1 When will it be possible for an unmanned spaceship to reach Proxima B A In about eighty years B In about 4 2 years C In about eleven days 第 4 页 共 11 页 D In about one billion years 2 In the fourth paragraph the writer thinks that is necessary for life A water B light C air D wind 3 What does the underlined word This stand for in the last paragraph A Scientists have discovered an earth like planet last month B There are far more earth like planets than people thought C Proxima B is not far from earth and is just like our neighbor D The Galaxy will be the only place for living things to live in 4 What does Alan Boss mean by saying but I expect to still be alive when it happens A His health is in good state and he s sure he will live a long life B Science is developing much faster than ever in recent years C Scientists may soon find fact that there s life on other planets D America is far ahead of other countries in space research 3 10 分 2016 天津 根据短文内容 选择最佳答案 Many people travel to different places in the world by air Usually it takes a long time perhaps half a day for passengers to stay in the plan So airlines 航空公司 offer passengers food But it is common that they feel bad about food taste Do you agree To solve this problem airlines try hard to improve their food They would like to do so because they don t want to lose customers However according to scientific research part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that 第 5 页 共 11 页 at high altitude 海拔 we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off As the plane moves up the change in air pressure 气压 reduces one third of the sensibility 感觉 of our taste buds 味蕾 So our taste buds become senseless The sad face however is that our noses don t know it All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy 辛辣的 food Without doing so the food would be tasteless Now there are many researches on this According to one of them some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks And scientists write down their feelings about food taste Though scientists try their best it is not as easy as they thought Because they can t deal with the special environment successfully such as the change in air pressure making food taste good is still hard for them 1 In Paragraph 2 this problem means A passengers stay long in the plane B food on the plane tastes bad C passengers have no food to eat D food on the plane is expensive 2 What do airlines do to solve this problem A Get more customers B Offer more food C Improve their food D Reduce the ticket price 3 As the plane moves up the change in air pressure reduces of the sensibility of our taste buds 第 6 页 共 11 页 A half B one third C one fourth D one fifth 4 Why do scientists feel it hard to made food on the plane taste good A The volunteers don t know about food taste B The volunteers don t understand them C They can t find enough volunteers D They can t deal with the special environment successfully 5 What is the best title of the passage A Taste of Airplane Food B Airplane Travel C Scientific Research on Noses D The Change in Air Pressure 4 10 分 2018 杭州模拟 阅读理解 Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes 基因 decide In fact because you have two parents your genes provide you a height that usually lands

灵学家 say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them To research whether such a sixth sense really exists Robert Baker a psychologist 心理学家 at the University of Kentucky did two experiments In the first one Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes The subjects 受试者 were eating drinking reading studying watching TV or working at a computer Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods Later when he questioned the subjects almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them For the second experiment Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren t Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren t Baker
