【題目】Answer the questions(根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答問題)

Mary Donaldson is worried about her 16-year-old daughter, Sophia. Six months ago, Sophia came back from a party, upset and unhappy. From then on, she thought of nothing but how to lose weight and become beautiful. She refused to eat and kept on doing exercise. Sophia had always been a little heavy, so when she decided to go on a diet, Mary encouraged her. She felt that her daughter would look more attractive if she lost 10 kilograms. However, Sophia has lost 20 kilograms until now. Her eating and exercising habits are having a harmful effect on her health. She is too thin and is often sick.

Her mother is trying to prevent her from going on a diet and losing weight, but Sophia thinks that she is still too heavy and refuses to eat as usual. Sophia’s mind is full of the idea of looking like a model(模特). Every day she goes to a club to do exercise. When she is not there, she spends her time reading magazines like “Fashion & Beauty”(《時尚與美》). The models in these magazines are very thin and beautiful. Sophia says, “If I look like models, I will be happy and all the boys will like me.”

Mary doesn’t know how to help her daughter. She feels sorry for having encouraged her at first, because Sophia no longer feels good or pleased with her body. She’s afraid that Sophia will never be happy if she keeps comparing herself with the models in the magazines. Mary tries to tell Sophia that true beauty comes from within. Common people are not supposed to look like models. The most ordinary face becomes beautiful when the person is filled with confidence, wisdom and the joy of life.

1When did Sophia decide to lose weight?

2Besides doing exercise, what else did Sophia do to lose weight?

3How much weight has Sophia lost until now?

4Does Sophia eat as usual after she has lost some weight?

5Why does she spend much time reading the magazine “Fashion & Beauty ”?

6Do you think Sophia really understands the meaning of the true beauty? Why?

【題目】 My neighbor’s eight-year-old daughter used to stay in the countryside, her native place. Recently parents brought her to town to live with them. Wild and uneducated, she would use dirty words when she was unhappy and even hit others when she was angry. Sometimes she went so far as to roll on the ground, which shocked all people around. Her parents tried to educate her by beating and kicking. However, it just made the problem more serious. Finally they became completely disappointed with her.

One day their next-door neighbor, a retired woman teacher, gave the girl a beautiful snow-white dress. It immediately caught the girl's eyes and made them shine brightly.

The girl put on the dress and became quite another person. She no longer acted rudely or hit others, and even less rolled on the floor. She knew running wild was not suitable for her in such a beautiful dress.

Since then the girl had been gentle, neat and lovely.

Perhaps everyone has a beautiful dress hidden somewhere in his or her heart. However, he may not know about it, forget it or give it up. Beauty is a powerful force—that's something unrealized by many of us. It can recall fine qualities that humans are born with, but have so far hidden somewhere.

【題目】I’ve been thinking about you and me And how our friendship came to be How long ago I hoped that we

Could be Forever Friends

And how I look back on these days

And smile at all the little ways

We made the hard times seem okay

Like true Forever Friends

At times we’d laugh so hard and then We’d catch out breath and start again Cause’ having fun comes easy when You’re with Forever Friends

Together we’ve shared wonderful sights

Like soft spring days and starlight

When all the world seems still and right

With my Forever Friend

And on those days when rain would fall

And life was not much fun at all

You were always there to take my call

A true Forever Friend

Life’s wandering roads may take us far But if we’re apart let each bright star Remind us how blessed we are

To be Forever Friends

And when the stars shine down we’ll see

Perhaps by fate or destiny

A friendship that was meant to be

You and Me

Forever Friends

【題目】 For convenience(方便). plenty of people prefer having a takeaway(外賣)to cooking at home. Now there is an app through which people can enjoy delicious and cheap takeaway food.

Too Good To Go, an app being used in the UK, allows users to order leftover(剩余的)food at a low price from restaurants. The purpose is to cut down on food waste, as lots of restaurants usually throw away the food that can still be eaten at the end of the day.

Users just need to pick a restaurant and pay through the app. Then they pick up their food at planned times usually around closing time or after peak (高峰期的) meal times.

"Food waste is one of the biggest problems we have in this world," one creator of the app said. "The restaurant industry is wasting about 600,000 tons of food each year." By the end of August, Too Good To Go had helped save about 600 meals in the UK.

Users also have the choice to give meals to people who are in need by donating one British pound or more through the app. By the end of August, more than 1,100 meals had been donated.

Too Good To Go isn't the first app to try to deal with food waste. In Spain, the Yo No Desperdicio app allows people to exchange leftover food with each other. In the US, the Food Cowboy app allows food shops to sell "ugly vegetables" that most customers don't buy to charities and food banks that need them.

根據(jù)上面短文的內(nèi)容問答問題(每小題答案不超過6個單詞).

1Too Goad To Go is the first app to try to deal with food waste, isn't it?

____________________________________________________________________________

2How many tons of food is the restaurant industry wasting each year?

3Why do plenty of people like having a takeaway?

4What is the purpose of the app Too Good To Go?

【題目】 Cars make our lives more convenient. But they can also be a problem. For example, fossil fuel(化石燃料) cars mainly cause air pollution.

To improve the environment, many countries are developing electric vehicles (EVs, 電動車). Among them, China is taking a leading role and has created the world's largest EV market.

Last year, over 40 percent of the 753,000 EVs sold in the world were sold in China, more than twice as many as the number sold in the United States.

"Filling up a fossil fuel car with gas(汽油) is more expensive than charging (充電) an electric car," said Wu Hao, who bought an electric car this year.

However, there are still some problems. It can be hard to find charging piles(充電樁) and the cars can't go far before needing to be recharged.

Some of these problems are being solved. In 2014,China had 31,000 charging piles. Now China has the world's largest EV charging network, with more than 167, 000 charging piles in total.

Developing EVs is one of many efforts that China has made to cut down pressure on its environment after the government promised to stop increases in carbon dioxide emissions(二氧化碳排放量) by 2030.

"As China goes, so will the world's car industry," The Wall Street Journal said. China has taken a leading role in the world's electric vehicle industry.

1_______ mainly cause air pollution according to the passage.

A.SubwaysB.Sharing bikesC.Electric vehiclesD.Fossil fuel cars

2Over _______ electric vehicles were sold in China last year.

A.150, 600B.167,000C.301, 200D.753,000

3What does Wu Hao think of charging an electric car?

A.It's more expensive than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.

B.It's less expensive than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.

C.It's as expensive as filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.

D.It's as cheap as filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.

4Which country has the world's largest EV charging network now?

A.America.B.Germany.C.China.D.England.

5What is the passage mainly about?

A.China has taken a leading role in the world's electric vehicle industry.

B.Electric cars will disappear in the future.

C.There is no problem using electric cars.

D.How to deal with air pollution.
