【題目】 Enjoy the sunshine at the four best beaches in Los Angeles, including family-friendly shores and perfect places for surfers (沖浪者).

El Matador State Beach

Malibu

Small and beautiful, El Matador looks unlike any European beach. Comfortable shoes are necessary but remember not to bring too much gear (裝備). This western Malibu beach is only accessible via a steep rocky path. There are no lifeguards or other facilities (設(shè)施), so you are able to find some privacy on the beach. Arriving early or staying late can reward you with a memorable dawn or sunset.

Good for: nature lovers

Facilities: simple restrooms

Parking: parking lot $10, street parking free (watch out for “no parking” signs)

Zuma Beach

Malibu

It is a popular and touristy spot on weekends and holidays for locals and beach-goers. The wide, sandy beach is good for spreading out on beach towels and water sports, from swimming to volleyball. And it is one of the few beaches in Malibu where bonfires (篝火) are allowed.

Good for: sports lovers, groups

Facilities: restrooms, showers, volleyball courts and swings

Parking: parking lot $3 — $10, street parking free

Leo Carrillo State Park

Malibu

Leo Carrillo State Beach has the best of the both: a well-equipped stretch of sand plus scenic beauty. Groups and families can make use of the on-site camping grounds, picnic area, RV parking lot and coin-operated showers.

Good for: families, groups

Facilities: showers, camp site, RV parking lot and restrooms

Parking: parking lot $3 — $10

El Porto Beach

Manhattan

Newcomers love the sandy beach break, while winter wave hunters can brave overhead waves. Enter the parking lot from 45th Street, and note the five-hour limit. Those that prefer to stay on land can make use of the bike path.

Good for: surfers

Facilities: restrooms, showers and a bike path

Parking: $1.50 per hour metered parking

【題目】 It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a child's bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle. After a while the whistle blew. It was like throwing a basket of chum into a tank of sharks. I told my wife that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.

As the boxes of bikes began to gradually decrease, I saw my opportunity to wrap my hands around the corner of one of them. I lifted it off and suddenly felt some mild resistance. I looked up to see one of the largest men I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not enough to describe his presence. He was decorated with numerous leather belts with metal buttons around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos (紋身) were an obvious passion of his.

I started to loosen the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.”

My wife and I went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home. All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best Christmas gift I had ever received. The kindness of a human heart in a simple act of a stranger broke all preconceived notions (先入為主) I may have had. I will never forget it.

【1】What does the underlined word “chum” mean in Paragraph1?

A.Gifts.B.Food.

C.Goods.D.Souvenirs.

【2】Why did the author loosen the box when seeing the man?

A.The author didn't want to buy it.B.The man needed it more.

C.The author was frightened by the man.D.The man got the box first.

【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.The Best Christmas Gift.B.The Largest Man I Have Ever Seen.

C.An Unforgettable Bike.D.A Shopping Experience.

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

We all agree that we should recycle more — at home, in the office or when out and about. But for materials to be recycled, they first need to find their way to the right waste stream. 【1】 This is what the process of sorting allows us to do.

For effective recycling we need effective sorting. And this needs to happen first, in our own home and second, in sorting plants to which waste collected from our doorstep is taken. When you put a plastic bottle in the right recycling bin, you are helping sort recyclables. So the right material can be fed into the right recycling process. 【2】 They can be a loss of valuable resources from our economy.

【3】 For instance, in Brussels, Belgium, consumers put plastic packaging, cans and beverage cartons in blue bags designed for recyclable packaging; paper in yellow bags for recycling; and glass needs to be taken to specific collection bins. Somewhat differently, in Vienna (Austria), citizens can expect their paper, metal, glass and plastic to be separately collected in different weeks of the year. 【4】 In this way, they can sort their recyclables at home more effectively.

Once recyclable materials are collected from your doorstep, they are further sorted in specialized facilities which ensure the quality of the recycling process. 【5】 Traditionally, sorting has been done either manually with workers sorting what can be recycled and picking out the materials to be discarded or mechanically. Today, however, new technologies are being developed in order to speed up the process of sorting but to also yield better results. Exciting technologies using magnets or optical systems are being used to effectively sort materials so more of it can be recycled.

A.If sorting doesn't happen, recyclable materials can end up in landfills.

B.This is where different sorting techniques come into play.

C.In Europe, collection systems vary from country to country.

D.So citizens need to be aware of their local collection system.

E.Then they can be collected and taken to the right place for recycling.

F.The rest, though they could be recycled and reused, were landfilled or burned.

G.In recent years, Europe has seen a 25% growth in recycling secondary raw materials.

【題目】 People express their personalities in their clothes, their cars, and their homes. Because we might choose certain foods to 'tell' people something about us, our diets can also be an expression of our personalities. For example, some people eat mainly gourmet foods, such as caviar (魚子醬) and lobster (龍蝦), and they eat only in expensive restaurants. 【1】

Human beings can eat many different kinds of foods, but some people choose not to eat meat. 【2】Their personalities might be similar too. For example, vegetarians in the United States and Canada may be creative people, and they might not enjoy competitive sports or jobs. They worry about the health of the world, and they are probably strongly opposed to war.

【3】 One study shows that many fast food eaters have a lot in common with one another, but they are very different from vegetarians. They are competitive and good at business. 【4】 Many fast food eaters might not agree with this description of their personalities, but it is common picture of them.

Some people also believe that people of the same astrological sign (星座) have similar food personalities. Aries (born under the sign of Aries, between March 21 and April 20) usually like spicy foods, with a lot of onions and pepper. People with the sign of Taurus (April 21 to May 22) prefer healthful fruits and vegetables, but they often eat too much. 【5】 Aquarius (January 21 to February 19) can eat as much meat and fish as they want, but sugar and cholesterol (膽固醇) are sometimes problems for them.

【題目】 From kindergarten to graduate school there is a nearly unlimited supply of learning resources (資源) for students. These resources come in a variety of forms, all serving a single purpose—to improve learning outcomes for students.

【1】Educators spend a good deal of time searching for learning resources and are in a position to be approached by educational publishers and software developers. Educators may use open source material from well-known universities like Harvard and MIT or offer learning resources from independent publishers to their students.

While there are a variety of learning resources for all education levels, early-childhood learning resources are probably the most common. A wide range of websites, software and mobile applications are aimed at children and serve as learning resources in math, reading, science, writing, etc. 【2】

Learning resources for students in high school and college are also abundant. 【3】While there may be a large number of websites and computer applications that serve as an ancillary (輔助的) resource for a given subject, a teacher may recommend a reference book, biography, or literary work as a resource relevant to the specific area of study.

Many learning resources are designed to reinforce (充實(shí)) material taught in the class or simply provide additional help for struggling students. 【4】The American Disability Act provides the requirements for educational resources for disabled students in the United States, just as the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act in the UK provides for its special needs students.

【5】Libraries, teachers and other educators, higher learning institutions, and the Internet are all excellent sources for learning resources in nearly every area of study and educational development.

【題目】What it does

The self-cleaning door handle is combining with advanced photocatalytic ( 光 催 化 ) and blacklight technology. A light source activates the door’s handle coating, telling it to start cleaning. It can minimize the risk of infection by contact and improve the cleanliness of a space.

How it works

The working principle of the product is that a thin advanced photocatalytic coating can effectively decompose bacteria ( 細(xì) 菌 ) on the surface of a substance. A consistent UV light source—inside a transparent glass door handle—is required to activate the door’s handle coating on the outer surface for disinfection, so a generator is used to provide electricity to light up a UV LED lamp by the motion of an opening and closing door. Then, the door handle can clean by itself.

Design process

We made the first version by using stainless steel. However, it caused the door handle to be heavier. Then, we tried aluminum, which made it light and easy to fix. We also improved the generator output which effectively turned energy from door movement into a light source.

How it is different

Our innovative design is simple, effective, and attractive. It has an elegant smooth shape, and its minimalist appearance stands out in today’s world of inventions. Nowadays, people use chemical cleaning materials to clean up public areas but it harms the human body. Our design can be used for a long time and is effective. It can self-clean after each use. In the door lock and door handle market, it is a unique design because there are no similar products.

Future plans

In the future, we will commercialize the product and hope that it can compete on the market with similar products. We are going to connect with public properties, for example, shopping malls, hotels, hospitals and public restrooms, where the risk of spreading infection is higher.

Awards

In addition to winning the James Dyson Award, it has also received the Gold Award, and in 2016, it was featured in the 44th International Geneva Inventions Exhibition.

【1】How does the self-cleaning door handle function?

A.It controls the door movement automatically.

B.It minimizes the risk of infection by less contact.

C.Chemical cleaning materials are used to clean it up.

D.The light source tells the door handle coating to clean itself.

【2】Compared with the first version of the product, the present one is ______.

A.safer and cheaperB.cleaner and easier

C.less heavy and more effectiveD.more attractive and expensive

【3】What do we know about the new invention according to the passage?

A.It has been widely used in public areas.

B.It has received recognition for its innovation.

C.It is quite competitive among similar products.

D.It will replace traditional chemical cleaning materials.
