第一节、（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
    For the business traveler who’s all about efficiency: check out these hotels that will get you in and out with a minimum trouble.
    When you’re pressed for time on a business trip, nothing can infuriate you more than a slow hotel check-in process. On your next trip, try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process.
    ◆ Marriott Detroit Airport
    Another option for business travelers in a hurry: Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325 hotels this year, including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel. (I’ve tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet.) here is the basic idea: you download the iPhone or Android app. The night before, you can “check-in” virtually. When you arrive, you get an alert that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk. 
    ◆Hyatt Regency Minneapolis 
    I happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk check-in works. The kiosk asks you to insert your credit card, similar to an airport terminal. The whole process took about 3 minutes. When I left, I was equally impressed with the fast check-out: An agent meets you in the lobby with, an iPad and asks for an email to use for a receipt. The big advantage: you never have to wait in line.
    ◆Radisson LaCrosse
    The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster. At a few select hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin，you use a mobile app to register and then receive a bar code by email or text. When you get to the kiosk, you can scan the bar code to get your key without any other steps required. It’s super fast. You can find this new check-in system at the Radisson hotels in Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Phoenix as well.

    It was a delightful family reunion at our lake cabin in Longville, Minnesota. My parents came from their home to spend the summer reconnecting with three generations. It was a week of happiness that my mother enjoyed from her wheelchair.
    Her six-year-old great-grandchild, Joy, seemed to understand she was fragile, and she would always slow down whenever she was close to her. She knew her arms weren’t strong enough to hold her, so she would lean gently into her lap and press her head against her chest. At night, after she was helped into bed, Joy would flash her sweet smile and hug her great-grandma for a goodnight kiss.
    One day, the women decided to go into town for a ladies’ coffee outing. We campaigned for my mother to go with us. “No, no,” she said with her limited speech ability. But we kept insisting, explaining it wouldn’t be as fun and definitely not complete without her. When she finally agreed, we all cheered.
    My daughters wheeled her to the van. I said to Joy, “Come on, Joy, jump into my car.” She climbed into my car and set her pink coin bag on her lap.
    “Grandma, how much will my coffee cost?” she asked, concerned.=“Sweetie, it’s my treat. I want to celebrate you.”
    “When you were my age, could great-grandma walk?”
    “She sure could. She walked me to school. I remember my mother cooked at the stove and the smell of coffee mixed with the warmth of breakfast.”
    “That’s why you’re so happy to bring great-grandma to coffee. You want to celebrate her,” Joy smiled.
    We entered the Common Coffee and found a large table and then I went to the counter to choose our coffee flavors. It was while I was waiting for Joy’s drink that I noticed her little hand reaching up to the counter to place her coins, 87 cents altogether.
    “I want to celebrate great-grandma, too,” announced Joy.

    How do you deal with plastic bags from the supermarket? Throw them away or reuse them? How about eating them?
    Indian company EnviGreen has made a bag with natural ingredients (成分). It looks and feels just like plastic, but can be broken down easily. The bags bring no harm to the environment. Both humans and animals can safely eat them.
    EnviGreen founder Ashwath Hedge spent four years doing experiments with a combination of 12 natural ingredients. They include potato, corn, vegetable oil and banana. He made the ingredients into liquid and used the liquid to make the bag. Although the EnviGreen bag is about 35 percent more expensive than a common plastic bag, it has many advantages. According to the Wall Street Journal, it takes 1,000 years for common plastic bags to break down. But an EnviGreen bag can naturally break down in less than 180 days. It also breaks down in less than a day in water, and in about 15 seconds in boiling water. Hedge was happy to show it in his interview with The Better India. In the interview, he put an EnviGreen bag in water and ate it with a smile.
    According to India’s Minister of State for Atmosphere, Forest and Weather Change, the country produces more than 15,000 tons of plastic waste every day. But only 9,000 tons are processed. In China, 3 billion plastic bags are used every day. Maybe the EnviGreen hag could be a solution to the world problem of plastic pollution.
9.Why is the EnviGreen bag eatable?
A.Because it looks like plastic.
B.Because it can be broken down easily.
C.Because it consists of natural ingredients.
D.Because it does no harm to the environment.
10.If a common plastic bag costs ¥ 0.5, what’s the price of an EnviGreen bag?
A.¥ 0.85. B.¥ 0.675. C. ¥ 0.65. D.¥ 0.475.
11.Which sentence can describe Ashwath Hedge’s experiment?
A.It took him less than four years to succeed.
B.He made a special liquid to form the material.
C.He combined 4 kinds of food to create the EnviGreen bag.
D.The EnviGreen bag can naturally break down in 15 seconds.
12.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Plastic pollution can be controlled with combined efforts.
B.India has benefited a lot from adopting the EnviGreen bag.
C.Chinese government has paid attention to plastic pollution.
D.Plastic pollution is a severe problem in some developing countries.

    In the United States, employees typically work five days a week for eight hours each day. However, many employees want to work a four-day week and are willing to accept less pay in order to do so.
    If a law required companies to offer their employees the option of working a four-day workweek for four-fifths of their normal pay, it would benefit the economy as a whole as well as the individual companies and the employees who would decide to take the option. The shortened workweek would increase company profits because employees would feel more rested and quicker, and as a result, they would make fewer costly errors in their work. More staff would be hired to ensure the accomplishment of the same amount of work, but it would not result in additional pay that the company has to prepare for these people. It is because four-day employees would only be paid 80 percent of the normal rate. In the end, companies would have fewer overworked and error-prone（容易出错的）employees for the same money, which would increase company profits.
    For the country as a whole, one of the primary benefits of offering this option to employees is that it would reduce unemployment rates. If many full-time employees started working fewer hours,  some of their workload would have to be given to others. Thus, for every four employees who would go on an 80 percent week, a new employee could be hired at the 80 percent rate.
    Finally, the option of a four-day workweek would be better for individual employees. Employees who could afford a lower salary in exchange for more free time could improve the quality of their lives by spending the extra time with their families, pursuing private interests, or enjoying leisure activities.
13.To take the option, the employees would like to        .
A.work longer
B.give up private interests
C.get less pay
D.make fewer costly errors
14.What would be one benefit from taking the option?
A.Employees in companies needn’t work overtime.
B.More work would be completed better in advance.
C.One-fifth of the pay would be saved by companies.
D.Higher efficiency would bring profits to companies.
15.What does the author agree with?
A.Employees will earn more money.
B.More people will have chances to work.
C.One out of four employees will be hired soon.
D.A law will he passed to offer employees the option.
