26、 One of the problems damaging our planet is the number of things we throw away. Rubbish of all kinds is piling up in landfill and polluting our rivers and oceans. A more recent addition to the list of things we throw away is e-waste—electronic items that are broken and not recycled. Now solutions are being found to give this stuff a new life.
Many millions of tons of televisions, phones, and other electronic equipment are discarded each year, partly because it’s cheaper to replace them than fix them, but also because we lack the skills to repair them. A UN report claims the 50 million tons of e-waste produced every year will more than double to 110 million tons by 2050, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the world.
However, there's a growing trend for repair events and clubs which could be part of a solution to the growing amount of electrical and electronic junk. The BBC visited a Restart Project in London, which is one of many found around the world. One of its volunteers, Francesco Calo, said that "this project allows you to reduce waste, make the life of objects longer, and it helps people who cannot afford to get rid of items that have developed a fault. '
As many electrical items contain valuable metals, another idea is e-waste mining. An experiment at the University of New South Wales involves extracting(提取)these materials from electrical items. It’s thought that doing this could be more profitable than traditional mining. With phones typically containing as many as 60 elements, this could be part of the solution to our appetite for new technology.
These projects make total sense — collection of e-waste for recycling are 'stagnating' (停滞不前的) or even 'decreasing' according to Ruediger Kuehr of the United Nations University. And in countries where there is no legislation(立法), much of it is just thrown away. However, the European Union, for example, is trying to deal with the problem by insisting that manufacturers have to make appliances longer-lasting and will have to supply spare parts for machines for up to 10 years.
【1】What does the underlined word 'discarded' in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.recycled B.thrown away C.dealt with D.produced
【2】What do we know about the Restart Project in London according to the text?
A.It helps people to use their electronics longer in order to reduce waste.
B.It collects all kinds of electronic items that are broken.
C.It encourages people to get rid of items that have developed a fault.
D.It is one of the famous clubs in the world.
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards these projects?
A.Negative. B.Positive. C.Neutral. D.Critical.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Giving the rubbish a new life B.The fastest growing waste stream
C.Solving the problem of e-waste D.The importance of recycling
27、Saving money for the future is one of the great passions of wealthy people. The rich are getting richer because of the way they spend their money.
They are successful at controlling their expenses in order to grow their wealth. One example is Warren Buffett, one of the world’s wealthiest people. He always practices spending money wisely. He is not fond of buying expensive things. He knows the benefits of saving money.
John Poole said, “You must learn to save first and spend afterwards.” If you want to achieve your financial goal, the most important step is to save first. You can’t grow your wealth or money if you don’t start saving first. Did you know that Mark Zuckerberg, one of the youngest billionaires and co-founders of Facebook, is a great saver? During his wedding, the reception was held in his backyard in Palo Alto, California rather than in a fancy five-star hotel. During the couple’s honeymoon in Italy, many people saw them eating in McDonald’s. This guy is still wearing ordinary T-shirts to work every day. I understand why he practices saving. Saving money is important to him to grow his wealth and grow it quickly. He uses extra money to put into other businesses, investments and acquisitions.
Saving money for the future gives you protection for unexpected circumstances. You don’t know what will happen to you over the next days or weeks. And living below your means can give you plenty of room to save. You can use your savings to pay off your mortgage (按揭贷款) early. Also, people who are fond of saving money for the future can retire early.
Saving money for the future is essential. Today will not be the same as tomorrow. You don’t know when the rainy season will come. Every day is full of surprises, and to be ready for uncertainty, save now for your future.
【1】What does the example of Warren Buffett explain?
A．The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
B．Buying expensive things is not a good habit.
C．Saving money can bring us a lot of benefits.
D．Controlling our expenses helps to increase our wealth.
【2】Why did Mark Zuckerberg hold his wedding in his backyard?
A．He was not a generous man although he was rich.
B．He had to save money for his honeymoon with his wife.
C．He wanted to use extra money to expand his business.
D．He was practicing the skill of saving money.
【3】What does the underlined part in the fourth paragraph probably mean?
A．Spending according to your habit.
B．Saving money for tomorrow’s uncertainty.
C．Saving money for living better in the future.
D．Spending less than you can afford.
【4】Which benefit of saving money is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A．It makes you feel at safe when an emergency happens.
B．It leads you to live a high-quality life.
C．It helps you achieve a debt-free life early.
D．It allows you to enjoy your retirement early.
28、The skin under the eyes is delicate, which is why it sometimes appears sunken and has darker coloring than elsewhere on the face. Aging and health problems play a role in sunken eyes but other factors can contribute too, so it may affect younger people as well.
Dehydration
The most common cause of sunken eyes is dehydration, or not having enough water in the body. Consuming too much coffee, soda, and prepackaged drinks may increase production of urine, which may lead to dehydration.
Vitamin shortages
Shortages of vitamin C, vitamin K, and iron can cause eyes to become sunken. Vitamin C helps with absorbing iron and decreasing bruising, while vitamin K is responsible for blood thickening, the lack of which may cause unhealthy skin. Easy bruising and unhealthy skin will result in sunken eyes.
Weight loss
Most people tend to lose weight in their face first. Sometimes, the weight loss is sudden enough to make blood vessels below the eyes easy to see, and the skin clear, producing the appearance of sunken eyes. Sudden weight loss may also cause nutritional shortages, which can lead to sunken eyes.
Not enough sleep or poor-quality sleep can cause sunken eyes and a person’s DNA or the habit of smoking can also contribute to sunken eyes. Most cases of sunken eyes relate to the quality of an individual’s nutrition and healthy living. When these causes are corrected, sunken eyes can be resolved without further treatment. This means that causes can be avoided or treated in good time to prevent the recurrence of sunken eyes.
【1】What can we do to prevent dehydration according to the text?
A．Have certain drinks less.
B．Refuse coffee.
C．Drink more water.
D．Say no to soft drinks.
【2】What will lead to bruising below the eyes?
A．Lack of vitamin K.
B．Water shortages.
C．Lack of vitamin C.
D．Nutritional shortages.
【3】Which of the following should be avoided for people losing weight?
A．Pale faces.
B．Sudden weight loss.
C．Clean skin.
D．Narrow blood vessels.
29、More than 30 students are taking part in a Massachusetts Clean Energy Center-supported program at the Norfolk County Agricultural High School this summer, learning more about green energy.
Instructor Peter Kane, of the school’s environmental science program, said Tuesday that the program is part of the center’s “Learn and Earn”plan.
“The idea was to provide a summer job for kids, as well as a chance for them to learn about clean energy, ”he said. “We re trying to encourage their study of science.”
The students were taking part in a number of clean-energy-centered projects. John Green was among those building solar-powered carts(车). The carts -which can power phones and similar things -will be given to schools as a way of showing the use of clean energy. Junior Cora Walsh showed how to use solar panels(板)to heat water going into a house, to either heat the building or create hot water for everyday use. She said she had attended a number of environmental science courses last year, and the interest excited by those led her to join the summer program.
Seniors Trinity Collette and Margot Mental were preparing to give a course to middle school teachers about climate change and green energy.“We’ll be teaching about different kinds of clean energy, like solar and wind power, “said Mental. “We’re also going to give them lesson plans.” Collette said it was a bit strange to be teaching teachers. “It is turning the tables a little bit,”she said.
Kane said the program had a number of other projects taking place as well, such as taking a field trip to Block Island to see the wind farm.Though some may think of the school as centered only on agriculture,he said,this kind of program shows the wide offerings of the school.
【1】What' s special about the program?
A．It prepares kids for future jobs.
B．It is aimed at senior high students.
C．It is run by Massachusetts Clean Energy Center.
D．It connects green energy with firsthand experience.
【2】What do John Green and Cora Walsh have in common?
A．Both were working on solar energy.
B．Both were farm electricity providers.
C．Both were teaching students clean energy.
D．Both were encouraged by science courses.
【3】What does the underlined word"It"in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A．Preparing lessons.
B．Teaching teachers.
C．Learning about clean energy.
D．Working with Margot Mental.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.
Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.
However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.
“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.
Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”
