第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The idea of turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing is not new. During the last five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric(织物）to deal with plastic pollution. But there’s a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.
Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara, California, has been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years now. He explains that every time synthetic(合成的)clothes go into a washing machine, a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing machines can’t collect these microfibers So every time the water gets out of a washing machine, microfibers are entering the sewers（下水道）and finally end up in the sea.
In 2011, Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic clothing can produce more than 1, 900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples from seawater and freshwater sites around the world, and used a special way to examine each sample. He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers.
This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can absorb other pollutants.
Based on this evidence, it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental “solution.” Even though the science has been around for a while, Browne explains that he's had a difficult time getting companies to listen. When he asked well-known clothing companies to support Benign by Design—his research project that seeks to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didn’t get a satisfying answer. Only one women’s clothing company, Eileen Fisher, offered Browne funding.
1What has happened during the past five years?
A．Fabric has become much stronger.
B．Plastic pollution has been less serious.
C．Many plastic wastes have been reused.
D．Microfibers have been greatly improved.
2、What does Browne think of washing synthetic clothes?
A．It is adding microfibers to the clothes.
B．It is worsening environmental problems.
C．It is making synthetic clothes last longer.
D．It is doing great damage to washing machines.
3、What can be inferred about Browne’s Benign by Design research project?
A．It has achieved great success. B．It hasn’t got anything done.
C．It is known to very few people. D．It is facing some difficulties.
4、What’s the best title for the text?
A．It’s important to learn to recycle
B．It’s never easy to solve pollution problems
C．Recycled plastic clothing: solution or pollution?
D．Are human beings moving forward or backward?

B
Away with words
The telegraph, an online news service, has teamed up with Saga, which provides products and services only for the over 50s, to hold a new competition to find the best travel writer. Three lucky winners will win a master class with two top Telegraph travel writers before travelling the world with Saga on one of three holidays of great comfort and pleasure. To enter, all you need to do is tell us something mysterious and wonderful about the world of travel—a favorite memory, a humorous tale, an unforgettable occasion or a sight worth writing about.
What we are looking for
You must be able to read not only those signs that help you find your way around but the ones that tell you how the locals tick. You must, in the words of Paul Theroux, an American travel writer, “descibe exactly what you see and give it life with your imgaination”.
In this competition, you can do that in anything from 150 words to 500, but they should be your words, and fresh ones. We do expect you not to hide the truth or the facts about your experience. Beyond that, you can make the most of the freedom travel writing gives you.
You’ll be editor as well as writer, so ensure those eyes are equally fresh when you check and recheck what you’ve written. We will make allowances for the occasional mistake, such as you have “fell” into a river. But we won’t put up with mistakes every few lines.
Terms ＆ conditions
Competitors must be aged 50 years or older.
The judging process is divided into two stages entries will be hosted on the website for one month. The top 20 articles will then be selected by public vote. The top three winners will be chosen by three judges.
The closing date for entries is August 15.
1、What does the prize for winners include?
A．a chance to learn from excellent writers. B．the publication of their works.
C．three wonderful holidays. D．an opportunity to work in the Telegraph.
2、Who will select the final winners?
A．the public. B．Paul Theroux
C．two top Telegraph travel writers D．three chosen judges.
3、What type of writing is this text ?
A．An essay B．A travel guide
C．A writing guide D．An announcement

Dear Mr.Zhang,
We have held a discussion whether it is good or not for a top student to share a desk with a slower student.Some are for the idea.It is well known that everyone had strengths as well as weaknesses.Although slower students are not good at lessons,they might do good in another fields.In addition,top students can help slower ones with their lessons, which benefit them too.However,others don't hold the same view.They think some slower ones are always making the trouble,such as break school rules.Besides,slower students often ask top students question,which affects our studies.
In my opinion,I support the idea so we can make progress together.
Yours,
Li Hua
