1、阅读理解
Music festivals are environmental disasters when it comes to the amount of trash generated, and this seems mostly from festival-goers' strange disposable mentality. An estimated 80%of trash generated by music festivals comes from what's left behind by campers, and the Association of Independent Festivals guesses 1 to 2 out of every 6 tents are left behind. They get used for a single weekend and are often abandoned.
After the Isle of Wight Festival in the UK saw a shocking 10,000 tents left behind in 2011,some environmentally-minded people decided to take action. A campaign called" Love Your Tent(LYT)"was started, and its aim is to"make getting up and leaving absolutely everything behind you completely socially unacceptable".
The campaign took over a single campground at the festival and ensured that every person who wanted to camp there signed an agreement including promising to take their gear home. The first year 2012 was a success. Out of 1,500 campers, only 18 tents were abandoned. In 2018,the Isle of Wight Festival saw 1,450 campers staying in the designated(指定的)"Love Your Tent"fields,a nd no tents were left behind.
Unfortunately, it continues to be a frustrating battle. When LYT did a survey of students in 2017,they found that 60%of participants admitted to leaving tents behind in the past, even though86%recognized waste has an impact on the environment.36%were unsure if their behavior would ever change, and a pitiful 35%said their behavior would definitely never change.
While there's no easy solution to this trash disaster, it's clear that music festival organizers need to take responsibility for what their event creates, and demand that campers clean up their act, literally. Organizers could also provide tent-recycling facilities for those who insist on leaving their tents behind. Everyone could at least sign a code of conduct agreement when purchasing tickets.
Participants can also avoid attending festivals with bad reputations for waste management and support those with good policies. Most importantly,create your own zero-waste standards for camping and be an example to others. Camping,which is supposed to be a celebration of nature, should never turn into a garbage dump.
(1)、What led some environmentalists to launch the "Love Your Tent" campaign?A、Their need for disposal rules. B、People's waste disposal behavior. C、People's call for more music festivals. D、Their recognition of the festival trash.(2)、What do we know about the campaign in 2012 and 2018?A、They attracted few campers. B、No campers broke its rule. C、The campers remained constant. D、It resulted in cleaner campground.(3)、What does the author intend to show about the campaign by mentioning the survey?A、Its impact on the participants' attitudes towards littering. B、Its efforts to raise students' environmental consciousness. C、Its ongoing challenges in changing festival goers' behavior. D、Its progress in combating trash generation at music festivals.(4)、Which of the following is discussed in the last two paragraphs?A、The organizers' duty to manage waste. B、The value of solving trash problem. C、The role of festival plays in life. D、The urgency of spreading music. -

In 1983,thousands of runners from all over the world gathered in Australia to take part in the West field Sydney-Melbourne Ultramarathon—a distance of 875 kilometers. The first man to win this race was 61-year-old potato farmer Cliff Young.
When Cliff showed up in the race, he stuck out like a sore thumb. While all the other participants wore professional running equipment, Cliff was dressed as if he had just retumed from the field. Wearing his everyday clothes and work boots, he quickly attracted the attention of reportlers present,
"I grew up on a farm where we couldn't afford horses or tractors(拖拉机).Whenever the storms would roll in, I'd have to go out and round up the sheep," Clif told reporters."Sometimes I'd have to run those 2,000 sheep on 2,000 acres for two or three days.It took a long time, but I'd always catch them. I believe I can run this race. "No one actually believed him. Most competitors were in their 20s and early 30s,with years of training and marathon experience.
On the first day, Cliff was left far behind. But he had one advantage that no one had expected. All the other runners had been training to run for 18 hours a day and then stop and sleep for the other six, but he didn't stop until he reached the finish line. Although running at a slow pace, he simply didn't stop running, which helped him maintain the lead for the whole five and a half day. Upon being handed a $10,000 check as a prize for winning the race, Clif decided to keep none of it for himself and instead divided it evenly among the other five runners, who eventually managed to finish the race.
Cliff continued to run. In 1997,he set out to raise funds for homeless kids by running all 16,000 kilometers of the Australian coastline. In 2000,Cliff achieved a world age record in a six-day race in Victoria

D、Experienced physical discomfort.(2)、What was everyone's reaction to Cliffs optimism?A、Shock. B、Respect. C、Disbelief. D、Curiosity(3)、How did Cliff Young win the race?A、He saved his energy at first. B、He constantly ran without sleep. C、He developed a fast running rhythm. D、He sped up in the last two days of the race.(4)、What did Cliff do with his prize?A、He refused to accept it. B、He donated it to a charity. C、He gave it to other runners. D、He gave it away to homeless children. -

14、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One year ago, when we were in the fifth grade, a new classmate named Jack joined us. He was often late for class and had a strange smell on him, which made the girls not want to be "neighbours" with him, let alone sit next to him. It is said that once, a naughty boy curiously opened his backpack and many crushed soda cans and empty drink bottles that we usually throw into the trash fell out. Therefore, the boys in our class mocked (嘲笑) him as the "trash king".
Later, during a class meeting, our teacher, Ms. Zhang, told us about his story of using garbage to make inventions. It turns out that Jack is not an ordinary elementary school student, but a "garbage-inspired inventor" who has won the city invention award. According to Ms. Zhang, most of his inventions were picked up from garbage dumps (堆). During that class meeting, Jack showed us his invention of a"domestic wastewater separation system".
Afterwards, some of us became deeply interested in these small inventions and started to admire Jack's way of "picking up trash". We even joined him in picking up trash on weekends and during holidays. From then on, we no longer called him the "trash king". Instead, we formed a group of five boys and actively searched for usable materials in various garbage dumps around the city. Under Jack's guidance, we learned that there are many uses for seemingly useless trash. Once, we stayed at school to process the collected materials. Jack mentioned that he was facing a problem with his latest invention—a small cart for buying vegetables that needed to be lightweight. All other materials were solved except for the wheels. How could we find a suitable material for the wheels? We racked our brains (绞尽脑汁) and came up with different ideas, such as using soda cans or taking off the wheels from suitcases. However, Jack reminded us that our group should focus on making inventions from waste rather than causing damage to create them. We were all deep in thought.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When I got home and drank a bottle of water, I suddenly had an idea.
Jack indeed adopted my suggestion and fixed a row of bottle caps as wheels on his vegetable cart.

16、阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The ancient Chinese built two great engineering wonders: the Great Wall and the Grand Canal. Though the Great Wall's effect in military (defend) has worn off over time, the Grand Canal remains an important channel of cultural communication.
The Grand Canal, is made up of three parts (Suitang Grand Canal, Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal and Zhedong Grand Canal), is a (run) epic (史诗) of transformation. The man-made waterway runs more than 2,000 kilometres from north to south across the large eastern flatland of China. It is about 16 times size of the Suez Canal in Egypt and 33 times (long) than the Panama Canal, the world's second- and third-largest man-made waterways. "It sees the striking and early development of water engineering," the UNESCO website says (official).
In ancient times, the Grand Canal served the key waterway for grain transport and every kind of economic and cultural exchange. It also improved the time-consuming journeys of workers materials for the building of the Forbidden City in Beijing, the imperial city of the Yuan (1271-1368), Ming and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties.
Years ago, it (inspire) the name of Chenchen, one of the three mascots (吉祥物) of the Hangzhou Asian Games. Chenchen, from the Gongchen Bridge, which goes across the Hangzhou part of the Grand Canal, is coloured blue (suggest) science and technology.

18、阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You already know that playing sports helps keep you fit. But you might not know why it's so important to get a sports physical at the beginning of your sports season.
Most require students have a sports physical before they can play school sports. But even if a sports physical isn't required, doctors still recommend getting one if you are active in any sports.
A sports physical can help find out and deal with health problems that might affect your sports performance or increase the chance of getting hurt. For example, if you have frequent asthma (哮喘) attacks, the doctor can change your medicines. Your doctor may offer training tips or recommend exercises or physical therapy (疗法) to help you avoid injuries.
Most teens go to their regular doctor's office to get a sports physical, since your doctor knows you and your health history best. Some get their sports physical at school. Each one is armed with a medical professional who does a specific part of the physical exam.
Plan your sports physical at least 6 weeks before your sports season starts. Neither you nor your doctor will be very happy if your sports physical is the day before baseball practice starts and it turns out there's something that needs to be taken care of before you can suit up.
Sports physicals are usually good for 1 year, though you probably will have to complete a sports form each season. If there are any changes in your health history, like a new injury or you notice new symptoms (症状), you may need to see the doctor before being allowed to play. .
A. That way, you can breathe more easily when you run.
B. Let your gym teacher or coach know if your health has changed.
C. During school physicals, you may go to "stations" set up in the gym.
D. The medical history questions are usually on a form that you can bring home.
E. Mention you need a sports physical so your doctor can set aside time to do both.
F. The sports history and exam help to tell if it's safe for you to take part in your sport.
G. If your doctor finds a problem, this should leave enough time to for tests or treatment.

The Mona Lisa is the famous Leonardo da Vinci painting of a woman with a mysterious smile. This week, the painting gave up a secret.
Scientists used X-rays to examine the chemical organization of an extremely small part of the more than 500-year-old painting. The researchers discovered a technique Leonardo used in the work. A team in France and Britain discovered an oil paint used for the Mona Lisa was a special, new chemical mixture. It suggests that the Italian artist may have been in an experimental mood when he set to work on the painting early in the 16th century.
"He was someone who loved to experiment, and each of his paintings is completely different technically," said Victor Gonzalez. He is the study's lead writer. "In this case, it's interesting to see that indeed there is a specific technique for the ground layer of the Mona Lisa," he said in an interview with The Associated Press. Specifically, the researchers found a rare compound, plumbonacrite (水蛭石), in Leonardo's first layer of paint. The discovery, Gonzalez said, proved that da Vinci most likely used lead oxide to thicken and help dry his paint.
The scientists looked into its atomic structure using X-rays in a synchrotron (同步加速器). The machine moves particles at close to the speed of light, permitting researchers to look deeper into the paint structure. "Plumbonacrite is really a fingerprint of his recipe," Gonzalez said. "It's the first time we can actually chemically prove it."
Dutch artist Rembrandt may have used a similar mixture when he was painting in the 17th century. Gonzalez and other researchers have found plumbonacrite in his work, too. "It also tells us that those recipes were passed on for centuries," Gonzalez said. "It was a very good recipe."
But the Mona Lisa and additional works by Leonardo still have other secrets to tell. "There are plenty, plenty more things to discover," Gonzalez said. "What we are saying is just a little brick more in the knowledge."
(1)、What is the secret of the painting of the Mona Lisa?A、The use of plumbonacrite. B、Leonardo's love for experiment. C、The way to dry the painting. D、The oil in the first layer.(2)、What is Gonzalez's attitude to the painting's secret?A、Unclear. B、Positive. C、Doubtful. D、Disappointed.(3)、 How does the author support the topic of the text?A、By making comparisons. B、By listing related examples. C、By describing the study process. D、By quoting experts' opinions.(4)、 What is the best title for the text?A、A Creative Painter B、A Smiling Mona Lisa C、A New Discovery in the Mona Lisa D、A Pioneering Painting -

When it comes to travel, sometimes wandering is one of the most exciting things you can do. In a time when travellers are both more adventurous and eco-conscious than ever, it's no surprise that there's a wealth of new vocabulary to describe how we travel, when we travel and how the experience makes us feel. Here are eight of our favourite travel words that you may not have heard before.
We've kicked off a blog with the staycation, "a holiday in one's own country". The term first became popular in the mid-2000s, when the global financial crisis meant people had less income to spend on flash holidays and instead searched for cheaper local choices. Since 2020, the staycation is experiencing a revival (复兴). Benefits of staycations include cheaper travel costs, no spending hours in the airport and, of course, no need to worry about whether your passport expired (过期) last year.
Once upon a time, if you wanted to meet new people on your travels, you could stay at a hostel or with a host on Airbnb. Now, you can couch surf. And not just in "the staying at various friends' houses until you find a new place to rent" sense: couch surfing is quickly becoming a hot new travel trend. Travellers can now choose to couch surf all across the world via a website which treats travel as a cultural exchange, allowing people to connect with willing hosts and crash on their sofas.
Given that single-use and climate strike were selected as the Collins 2018 and 2019 Words of the Year respectively, it's clear that the climate crisis is very much on everybody's mind. This desire to make more sustainable choices is also affecting the way we spend our vacation days. Ecotourism is another popular travel trend, defined as tourism that is designed to contribute to the protection of the environment. Examples of ecotourism include ditching short-haul flights, staying at eco-friendly resorts, or booking a staycation.
(1)、When did the staycation become popular firstly?A、About in 2018. B、About in 2019. C、About in 2005. D、About in 2010.(2)、How many new travel words are mentioned in the text?A、Two. B、Three. C、Four. D、Six.(3)、What does the text mainly focus on?A、The eco-friendly travel ways. B、The cheap ways to get around. C、The changing words of travel. D、The spread of history and culture.(4)、 What is probably continued with the text?A、The other new travel words. B、Ways to protect environment. C、Other examples of ecotourism. D、Experiences of reaching culture.
