21．（6分） 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.

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?
22．（8分）The Domestication （驯化）of Cats
For centuries, the common view of how domestication had occurred was that prehistoric people, realizing how useful it would be to have animals kept for food, began catching wild animals and breeding （繁殖）them. Over time, by allowing only animals with “tame”（驯养）characteristics to produce their babies, human beings created animals that were less wild and more dependent upon people. Eventually this process led to the domestic farm animals and pets that we know today, having lost their ancient survival skills and natural abilities.
Recent research suggests that this view of domestication is incomplete. Prehistoric human beings did catch and breed useful wild animals, but specialists in animal behavior now think that domestication was not simply something people did to animals—the animals played an active part in the process. Wolves and wild horses, for example, may have taken the first steps in their own domestication by hanging around human settlements, feeding on people’s crops and getting used to human activity. The animals which were not too nervous or fearful to live near people produced their babies that also tolerated humans, making it easier for people to catch and breed them.
In this version, people succeededin domesticating only animals that had already adapted easily to life around humans. Domestication required an animal that was willing to become domestic. The process was more like a dance with partners than a victory of humans over animals.
At first glance, the laming of cats seems to fit nicely into this new story of domestication. A traditional theory says that after prehistoric people in Egypt invented agriculture and started farming, rats and mice gathered to feast on their stored grain. Wildcats, in tum, gathered at the same places to hunt and eat the rats and mice. Over time, cats got used to people and people got used to cats. Some studies of wildcats, however, seem to call this theory into question. Wildcats don’t share hunting and feeding areas, and they don’t live close to people. Experts do not know whether wildcats were partners in their own domestication. They do know that long after people had acquired domestic dogs, sheep and horses, they somehow acquired domestic cats. Gradually they produced animals with increasingly tame qualities.
1、What is suggested in recent research?
A．Animals were less afraid than thought.
B．Animals had an active role in their domestication.
C．Wolves and horses were the first to be domesticated.
D．Domestication meant something people did to animals.
2、The word “dance” is used in Paragraph 3 to show that ._
A．animals and humans were close
B．control over animals was easy
C．animals were independent of humans
D．domestication was like a game
3、What probably attracted cats to human settlements?

A．Cats were not friendly to people.
B．Cats were not as fierce as wolves.
C．Cats had the characteristic of independence.
D．Cats showed cleverness when they were hunting.
23．（8分）Have you ever heard of the following people? Maybe yes, maybe no. But they may be an inspiration for you.
The Tree Lady
Kate Sessions was an American botanist and landscape architect closely associated with San Diego, California. After becoming the first woman that graduate from the University of California, Berkeley, she took a job as a teacher far south in the dry desert town of San Diego. Kate decided that San Diego needed trees more than anything else. Therefore, this young woman single-handedly started a movement transforming the town into the leafy, garden-filled place as it is today.
The Snowflake (雪花) Man
Wilson Bentley is one of the first known photographers of snowflakes. His enthusiasm for taking photos of snowflakes began from his boyhood and was often misunderstood in his time, but his determination revealed two important truths ： no two snowflakes are alike, and each one is surprisingly beautiful. In 1931, he worked with William J. Humphreys of the U. S. Weather Bureau to publish Snow Crystals, a book containing 2,500 photographs.
The Father of His Country
By the late 1760s, George Washington had experienced first-hand the effects of rising taxes imposed on American colonies (殖民地) by the British, and came to believe that it was in the local peopled best interests to declare independence from England. During the American War of Independence, he led the colonial forces to victory. In 1787, he was elected president of the Convention that wrote the U. S. Constitution. Two years later, Washington became America’s first president. His retirement from office after two terms established a tradition that lasted until 1940, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt won a third term. The 22nd Amendment now limits the president to two elected terms.
1、Who made a great effort to make an area beautiful?
A．Kate Sessions. B．Wilson Bentley.
C．George Washington. D．William J. Humphreys.
2、What is Wilson Bentley well-known for?
A．His creative ideas to publish books.
B．His courage to fight against prejudice.
C．His persistence in photographing snowflakes.
D．His devotion to teaching kids scientific truths.
3、What can we infer about the people mentioned in the text?
A．They are really creative.
B．They are very determined.
C．They are highly educated.
D．They are pretty confident.
24．（8分） The hemlock(铁杉) trees along the Wappinger Creek, New York, look healthy. However, scientist Gary Lovett says the white balls which provide protection for the bugs are created by a tiny insect. It’s hard to believe the tiny bug could kill a tree. However, trees can end up with millions and millions of the pests. When there are that many, it ends up killing the tree.
The bug from East Asia is slowly killing trees across the USA．The trouble－making bug is just one of many invasive(入侵的) pests that have slipped into the United States. They can hurt other living things in their new home.
Many invasive pests arrive on wooden pallets piled inside shipping containers. They support and separate goods, and keep them from sliding around. Invasive pests often tunnel into the pallets. How can we stop pests from riding on pallets? Lovett says new rules are needed. The companies that make pallets don’t want more rules. Congress has added an amendment(修正案) in the 2018 Farm Bill to try and prevent this problem. However, Lovett is not hopeful it will make much of a difference. Pallets are checked by inspectors. Many are sprayed with bug－killing pesticide. “I believe in the system，” said Brent McClendon, president of The National Wooden Pallet and Container Association. He also said shipping containers are checked very carefully.
Still, each year 13 million containers are shipped to the U.S. Each is full of wooden pallets. Lovett says: “Inspectors can’t possibly check everything. All it takes are a few bad pallets; we should get rid of wooden pallets.” He believes pallets should be made of plastic or eco－composite wood. Eco－composite wood is a mix of wood fiber and plastic. Insects cannot hide into it. One problem is that these choices cost more. They may be worth the extra money, though. Invasive pests cost the U.S. $5 billion a year. Trees don’t just die in forests. They also die in cities and our yards. Then, they need to be replaced. That costs money, too.
1、All the statements are TRUE except that ________.
A．pesticide has been applied to bug－killing
B．invasive pests are native to Wappinger Creek
C．invasive pests hide in pallets used in shipping
D．the companies making pallets don’t want more rules
2、What can we infer from the passage?
A．Bugs can be easily spotted by eyes.
B．Bugs ruin the shipping goods slowly.
C．Bugs won’t bother the tree if just in few numbers.
D．Bugs cover trees with white soft balls for protection.
3、Why does Gary Lovett want to get rid of wooden pallets?
A．Because insects mostly die in them.
B．Because plastic pallets are eco－friendly.
C．Because they are not worth extra money.
D．Because they are the major pest carriers.
4、What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Invasive pests are harming plants in the USA．
B．Effective measures have stopped the pest invasion.
C．Congress contributes a lot to dealing with invasive pests.
D．Ecosystem in the USA is poorly damaged by invasive woods.
