21．（6分） Blue Planet II’s latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.
Though it seems now that the world couldn’t possibly function without plastics, consumer plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.
We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don’t really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.
And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet energy system.
This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag----when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.
1、Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?
A．The plastics pollution research is too difficult.
B．Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.
C．The world couldn’t possibly function without plastics.
D．Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.
2、How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?
A．By statistics.
B．By quotations from leading experts.
C．By using examples from his own experience.
D．By comparison and contrast.
3、What can we infer about climate change?
A．Climate change is caused by human activities.
B．Some people hold some doubts about climate change.
C．Climate change is less important than ocean pollution.
D．Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change.
4、What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Ocean plastic is a global issue.
B．The oceans become choked with plastic.
C．Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken.
D．Plastics gain in popularity all over the world
22．（8分）20 years ago, a couple of ecologists, Daniel Janzen and Winnie Hallwachs, convinced Del Oro, a large orange juice producer, to donate part of their forestland to a national park in exchange for the right to dump (倾倒) massive amounts of orange peels on a 3-hectare piece of land within the national park, at no cost. Dealing with tons of waste peels usually involved burning them or paying to have them dumped at a landfill, so the proposal was very attractive.
A year after the contract was signed, Del Oro dumped around 12,000 tons of sticky orange waste in the land. However, another juice company and rival of Del Oro challenged the deal in court, arguing that their competitor was “polluting the national park”. They ended up winning, and the deal between Del Oro and the national park fell through. The 3-hectare piece of land virtually covered with fruit waste was completely forgotten.
Then, in 2013, Timothy Treuer, a scientist at Princeton University visited that piece of land 15 years earlier. What he found shocked him. “It was completely overgrown with trees and vines,” Timothy Treuer recently said, “the difference between fertilized and unfertilized areas was visually surprised us a lot! We needed to come up with some really good standards to evaluate exactly what was happening there.”
To confirm that the fruit waste was responsible for the revival of plant life, Treuer and his team spent months picking up samples, analyzing and comparing them. They found “dramatic differences between the areas covered in orange peels and those that were not. The area fertilized by orange waste had richer soil, greater tree-species richness and greater forest coverage. In a sense, it’s not just a win-win between the company and the local park—it’s a win for everyone.”
The effect the orange peels had on the land is probably not that surprising to people familiar with composting (堆肥), but what is shocking is that a judge actually called this particular example polluting the national park and stopped it from going forward. Now that Timothy Treuer’s study has received worldwide attention, this type of polluting is being seriously considered as a way of bringing tropical forests back to life.
1、Why was the deal proposed by the ecologists attractive to Del Oro?
A．It would make farmers produce more oranges.
B．It would help deal with the orange peel waste for free.
C．It would increase the production of orange juice.
D．It would save much space for the orange juice producer.
2、What does the underlined phrase ‘‘fell through” in the second paragraph?
A．became unbelievable B．failed to happen
C．made something possible D．changed the course of an event
3、What did Treuer find when he visited the land covered with orange waste?
A．The peel waste was hard to break down there.
B．Del Oro continued dumping peel waste there.
C．The peel waste enriched the soil of the land.
D．The whole national park was polluted.
4、What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Orange peel waste found its way to reshape the national park.
B．A couple of ecologists devoted themselves to restoring the forest.
C．A casual attempt led to a series of expected magic results.
D．Orange peel waste brought a forest back to life.
23．（8分） "Big tobacco" is what the bosses of several large technology firms have started calling Facebook． Being compared to the tobacco giants is far from praise， but it is not the only wide﹣spread analogy（比拟）． A lower blow is the suggestion that Facebook may become like Yahoo， the once high﹣flying internet firm that fell．
Even a year ago the idea would have been unthinkable． But since January Facebook has become trapped in a series of misjudgments and missteps． It became clear that it had done too little to stop Russian interference（干涉） in America's election in 2016． It had to admit that it had shared the personal data of 90m users with outside firms without permission．
The comparison to Yahoo is imperfect． Even at its peak Yahoo's business was never as large and profitable as Facebook's． One of the main reasons Yahoo declined is because it lost out to a powerful competitor， Google， in online search； Marissa Mayer， its boss from 2012 until its sale to Verizon last year， was unable to restore advertisers' or employees' confidence as users left．
But people who watched Yahoo's falling see similarities． Executive（主管） turnover was a leading indicator of its decline； before Ms． Mayer was hired Yahoo went through four chief executives in three years． Mr． Zuckerberg， who controls the majority of Facebook's voting shares， is not leaving， but many top executives are． This year several have announced their departures， including Facebook's chief security officer．
When advertisers' faith in Facebook has been shaken， politicians in Washington are running out of patience with the company． Lawmakers' inspection of the firm is causing it to be more cautious about how it uses data for targeting advertisements and about what information it makes available to outsiders．
Mr． Zuckerberg and Ms． Sandberg are under pressure to prove to employees and advertisers that Facebook is not only trustworthy but worthy of their time and money． If they cannot do so， and the company's share price continues its slide， it is possible that Ms． Sandberg will be replaced in the next year． Mr． Zuckerberg will doubtless have thoughts about Yahoo's sorry tale．
1、For Facebook， being compared to "big tobacco" is　 　．
A．positive
B．ambitious
C．creative
D．negative
2、According to the author， what does Facebook currently have in common with the failed Yahoo？
A．Letting out users' data．
B．Being deep in financial crisis．
C．Leaders are leaving the company．
D．Laying off a large number of employees．
3、The author tries to support his judgment about Facebook by　 　．
A．questioning its management
B．using evidence related to it
C．analyzing its financial data
D．listing its advantages and disadvantages
4、What is the main idea of the passage？
A．Facebook gets trapped in trouble．
B．Two companies are deep in crisis．
C．How to save Facebook．
D．Faith is more valuable than gold．
24．（8分） Everyone has their favourite scenes and characters in Harry Potter books and films． One of the most memorable scenes for many came early on in the series． In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone， the owls began to send letters to Harry inviting him to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry． Owls were then mentioned frequently in the books and created amazing images in the films．
Everyone around the world loves the Harry Potter series． But if there has been one bad result of J．K． Rowling's creative gifts， it is the craze that has swept through many countries for owning an owl． Many experts suggest that because Harry Potter fans would like to own their own owl， there is a strong chance that owls may soon start to die out．
There are over 200 different species of owl． They are nocturnal birds， which means they are awake at night usually hunting． They have large round eyes that face forwards on their flat faces． Owls also like to be on their own， unless it is the mating season．
Indonesia is one of the main countries that are now selling owls to young and old Harry Potter fans． There are many bird markets throughout the country， with the largest being Pramuka in Indonesia's capital city， Jakarta． Birds are Indonesia's most popular pet， with about 20 percent of all homes keeping at least one． It is thought that about 13，000 owls are sold each year in Indonesia's bird markets． They cost between ﹩10 and ﹩30． This is affordable for most families where the parents work． Most of the owls have been taken from the wild and do not live for very long once they have been caught．
Not everyone is happy about the situation， including the Harry Potter author， J．K． Rowling． She said， "If anybody has been influenced by my books， to think an owl would be happiest shut in a small cage and kept in a house， I would like to take this opportunity to say as forcefully as I can， "you are wrong!""
1、What purpose does Paragraph 1serve？
A．To bring up the topic．
B．To express the main idea．
C．To advertise Harry Potter books．
D．To describe the author's favourite animal．
2、What harmful result do the Harry Potter series bring about？
A．Owls being forced out of their homes．
B．An increase in the animal attacks．
C．Damage to children's creativity．
D．A fall in the numbers of owls．
3、What do we know about Indonesia's bird market？
A．They mainly sell owls．
B．They have a ready sale for owls．
C．They usually sell home﹣raised owls．
D．They sell owls at a comparatively high price．
4、What did J．K． Rowling think of the situation？
A．It is something she dislikes．
B．It would be understandable．
C．It is too complex to change．
