【題目】Small and round transparent water bottles filled with natural water could help provide a solution to London's plastic waste problem,according to Skipping Rocks Lab,the company in the British capital that produces them.They added that the balls have been made of plant and seaweed extracts and will decompose（分解）after four to six weeks if not consumed.

With many cities struggling to get rid of vast numbers of used plastic water bottles,the 'Ooho' has begun to meet the thirst of consumers in San Francisco and London.A report published last Thursday said more than 4,000 plastic bottles had been removed from the River Thames in a month last year,proving the scale of the waste problem.

"We think Ooho may not be the solution for all the applications that plastic bottles have,but definitely for short term consumption it could be a solution,"said Rodrigo,the founder of Skipping Rocks Lab.In a trial near London Bridge last Wednesday,Ooho drew a mixture of surprise,amusement and delight among those who sampled them. London's city assembly said Ooho was a step forward."It could be part of the solution but not the only solution.You also need to be able to refill bottles at railway stations for example,"said Leonie Cooper,the Chair of the assembly's environment committee.

The company aims to target,among other consumers,marathon runners,who will be able to eat the Oohos mid-race without concerns about the environment.It is also considering sealing alcohol for a whole new market. "People see these small round bubbles and they just think 'shots'.So that's definitely something we're looking at,"said Skipping Rocks Lab Chief Operating Officer Lise."We have sealed alcohol,we want to perfect it,and hopefully this will be the great change of the future."

【1】'Ooho' can help solve the plastic waste problem because .

A. it is small and transparent B. it is filled with natural water

C. it is made of plant and seaweed D. it can disappear some time later

【2】How is Rodrigo's comment on 'Ooho'?

A. Subjective. B. Unreal.

C. Objective. D. Ridiculous.

【3】In which column can we find the text?

A. Technology and Invention. B. Health and Medicine.

C. Industry and Economy. D. Tourism and Development.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】A

【解析】文章介紹了一種幫助解決塑料浪費(fèi)的方法。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段內(nèi)容 They added that the balls have been made of plant and seaweed extracts and will decompose（分解）after four to six weeks if not consumed.他們補(bǔ)充說(shuō)這些小球是由植物和海藻提取物做成，如果不被食用的話它們會(huì)在4到6個(gè)禮拜之后分解�？芍�'Ooho'能幫助解決塑料浪費(fèi)問(wèn)題是因?yàn)樗茉谝欢螘r(shí)間之后消失。故選D。

【2】觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)文中Rodrigo的評(píng)論"We think Ooho may not be the solution for all the applications that plastic bottles have,but definitely for short term consumption it could be a solution,"我們認(rèn)為Ooho或許不是所有塑料瓶應(yīng)用的解決方法，但是對(duì)于短期消耗它確實(shí)是一個(gè)解決方法�？煽闯�Rodrigo對(duì)于'Ooho'的評(píng)論很客觀。故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。通讀文章，可看出文章介紹的是一種能幫助解決塑料問(wèn)題的一中新技術(shù)，故本文可能出現(xiàn)在“技術(shù)發(fā)明”欄。故選A。

I grew up in my grandparents’ home. My grandfather would take all his grandkid for walks. Usually we would go to his garden, which he would pick apples that had tasted by the bird and carve off the opposite side to give to us. I once asked, “Why do you not to offer the ripe-looking apples untouched by the bird?” Feel unhappy, I thought he was such mean. Maybe he wanted to sell the “good” apples instead of feed them to his grandkids. He rolled his hand over my head gentle. “Birds only eat the sweetest apples, but I pick the best for you,” he said. “Never assume; always ask.” My grandfather teaches me a good lesson.

【題目】Sometimes very odd things show up in ordinary places. In the 1800s, a strange sight began to be reported by farmers. Then in the 1970s, this strange event began to happen more and more often. People traveled for miles to stand in the fields and take photos of something they couldn't easily explain. What were they looking at? It was the crop circles — large and complex designs set into the middle of ordinary farm field. No one could understand how these huge designs were made.

Crop circles are found most often in fields of wheat, corn, or rice. They are usually created overnight, although some are reported to have appeared during the day. They have been seen all around the world, in more than 70 different countries. Scientists have found that the plants inside a crop circle are drier than the ones outside it. The plant stems (莖) are bent and not broken in most crop circles, and sometimes the soil in the design has more iron than the soil outside of the design. Unfortunately, these facts alone do not help scientists answer their questions about crop circles. These facts only make them more mysterious.

Some people believe crop circles are made by UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) landing in farm fields. Others think aliens are leaving us messages in the beautiful designs. Still others believe Earth energy under the ground makes plants bend over in designs. Some people say they actually made the crop circles with special equipment. Scientists have found some crop circles that are certainly made by people, but they are usually a little different from other crop circles. So who makes crop circles and why they make them can't be explained to this very day.

【1】It's generally thought that crop circles _____.

A. have very frightening designs

B. happen in the same places

C. are found in terrible places

D. are made during the night

【2】What happens to the paints inside the crop circles?

A. They are broken.

B. They die very soon.

C. They are bent.

D. They need little water.

【3】Which of the following have the scientists proved?

A. Earth energy is one reason for crop circles' appearance.

B. UFOs help create some crop circles.

C. There actually are crop circles made by aliens.

D. Some crop circles are man-made.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A. The History of Crop Circles

B. Different Designs of Crop Circles

C. Crop Circles: The Unsolved Mystery

D. Crop Circles: The Great Influence on Farms

【題目】閱讀理解。

There has been a dramatic increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years, and it is assumed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future. Some of the world’s leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves.

London

London’s flood defences are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier(水閘)has protected the city from the threat of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 26 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not addressed.

There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals, an airport and 80 billion worth of property in London’s flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous.

Paris

Over a six week period in July and August 2003, more than 1 1,400—mainly elderly people—died in France from dehydration(脫水)and extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave. Heat waves of similar intensity(強(qiáng)度)are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again?

One solution is to have air-conditioners installed in elderly care homes. But this is considered a short-term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions(排放).

In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower,” which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air-conditioner.

Shanghai

Shanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth. It has a population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century.

An estimated 250，000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption. China relies heavily on coal—fired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.

【1】What problem should be settled now in London?

A．How to protect the city’s property

B．Where to build its flood defences

C．How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the city

D．How to improve the function of the old flood defences

【2】Which of the following measures can’t solve the heat wave disaster in Paris?

A．Putting up new types of buildings with a covering of bamboo

B．Having air-conditioners installed in elderly care homes

C．Forbidding the city to build“Flower Tower”

D．Encouraging architects to design new types of buildings

【3】The major threats to Shanghai are ．

A．increasing population and coal-fired power stations

B．rising sea levels and typhoons

C．extremely high temperature and rising sea levels

D．extra demands on energy consumption and typhoons

【4】The purpose of the passage is ．

A．to tell us how to protect the big cities

B．to give advice on how to defend natural disasters

C．to explain what causes flood and heat waves

D．to warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big cities

【5】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Big Cities Facing Big Disasters

B．Big Disasters in the Future

C．The Increase of Natural Disasters

D．Solutions to Natural Disasters
