Their office is actually a small laboratory. Sometimes, they spend a whole day boiling or “cooking”, adding sugar, vinegar, and salt among other ingredients. In doing so, an orange peel can be turned into orange dye and a rotten pineapple might be turned into a beautiful yellow color. At the beginning, Eric and Winnie were always laughed at by local vegetable sellers when they asked for their waste. But when the sellers saw the results of their up-cycling, they became more supportive. Over the past five years, Dyelicious has turned more than six tons of food waste into dyes for dresses, scarves and handicrafts, turning the old saying of “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” into a reality. Turning the food into dye is a small step in alleviating(缓解) food waste woes, but it’s at least a beginning. Dyelicious sells the dyed products and teaches people how to DIY their own nice clothes and handicrafts. While running the business is definitely not easy, the group says it’s worthwhile. The waste problem is a pressing issue in the city, as its landfills are expected to be full in two to three years. Eric and Winnie are trying to make a small step to change society and are hoping to gain big improvements for environmental protection in the city. 21. What does the underlined word “trash” in the first paragraph mean? A. Cooking equipment. B. Food waste, rubbish of food. C. A trap, a device to catch. D. A boiling and cooking container. 22. When was this passage written? A. In 2008. B. In 2009. C. In 2013. D. In 2017. 22. From the passage, we can see the writer may think that ________. A. Dyelicious is a bit too small as a kitchen trash workshop B. Dyelicious will make the clothes and handicrafts nice C. Dyelicious will make great contribution to the environment D. Dyelicious can make a lot of money by selling its dyed products B As a child, visiting the zoo was more a punishment than a treat. I didn’t find the chimps’ tea parties funny, nor the bird shows entertaining. Feeding time for seals was less painful, but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus. And I hated circuses, especially the animal acts — men teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty. Happily, during my lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed. Circuses using wild animals are now almost extinct, and zoos have definitely evolved. When my children were young, I occasionally took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors. Each cage had a sign which listed the animal’s name and where it came from. But, back then, there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced. As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose zoos. “Animals belong in the wild,” is a common and understandable complaint. But what do the animals themselves prefer? Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But — you may protest — they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and killed, free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isn’t so bad. Nowadays, things are different due to the work of BIAZA—the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums. These days every zoo requires BIAZA’s approval to operate, and the association sets the standards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animal-research programmes, both in the UK and abroad. BIAZA also organises the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world. Consequently, today, most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos, live in large, comfortable enclosures and are cared for by well-trained, knowledgeable and caring zoo employees. Of course it’s no substitute for living in the wild but unfortunately this isn’t always possible. Meanwhile, why not visit your local zoo and decide for yourself? 24. The passage is mainly about __________. A. how zoos have improved ] B. whether a zoo should be closed down C. a new environmental organisation D. the difference between zoos and circuses 25. From Paragraph 2, we can guess that the writer believes circus animals __________. A. had much shorter lives than those in the wild B. were not treated well by their trainers[来源:Z*xx*k C. should have been placed in zoos D. were not as intelligent as those in zoos 26. Which of the following roles are performed by BIAZA? A. Organising animal study projects and training zoo workers. B. Checking zoo conditions and arranging animal exchanges. C. Designing zoos and approving zoo operations. D. Caring for ill animals and setting zoo standards. 27. Which of the following statements about zoos would the writer agree with? A. Zoo animals should be freed into the wild. B. Zoos are more popular now than in the past. C. Zoo animals are more restricted than in the past. D. Zoos now provide caring living conditions for animals. C Taste is such a subjective matter that we don’t usually conduct preference tests for food. The most you can say about anyone’s preference is that it’s one person’s opinion. But because the two big cola companies—Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola—are marketed so aggressively, we’ve wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in brand loyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either Coca-Cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting. We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic or Pepsi, Diet Coke, or Diet Pepsi. These were people who thought they’d have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand. We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them with four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas as the one group, diet versions as the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants’ choices with what mere guesswork could have accomplished. Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed they could recognize their brand. In the end, only 7 out of 19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse-only 7 out of 27 identified all four samples correctly. Both groups did better than chance would predict, but nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so tiredness, or taste burnout, was not a factor. Our preference test results suggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price. 28. According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to ________. A. show that a person’s opinion about taste is mere guesswork B. compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks C. find out the role taste preference plays in a person’s drinking D. reveal which cola is more to the liking of the drinkers 29. The statistics recorded in the preference tests show that________. A. there is not much difference in taste between Coca-Cola and Pepsi B. few people had trouble telling Coca-Cola from Pepsi C. people’s tastes differ from one another D. Coca-Cola and Pepsi are people’s two most favorite drinks 30. It is implied in the first paragraph that________. A. the competition between the two colas is very strong B. blind tasting is necessary for identifying fans C. the purpose of taste test is to promote the sale of colas D. the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companies 31. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to________. A. emphasize that taste and price are closely related to each other B. recommend that blind tasting be introduced in the quality control of colas C. show that taste preference is highly subjective D. argue that taste testing is an important marketing strategy D The death of languages is not a new phenomenon. Languages usually have a relatively short life span as well as a very high death rate. Only a few, including Egyptian, Chinese, Greek, Latin, have lasted more than 2,000 years. What is new, however, is the speed at which they are dying out. Europe’s colonial conquests caused a sharp decline in linguistic diversity, eliminating at least 15 percent of all languages spoken at the time. Over the last 300 years, Europe has lost a dozen, and Australia has only 20 left of the 250 spoken at the end of the 18th century. The rise of nation-states has also been decisive in selecting and consolidating national languages and sidelining others. By making great efforts to establish an official language in education, the media and the civil service, national governments have deliberately tried to knock out minority languages. This process of linguistic standardization has been pushed by industrialization and scientific progress, which have imposed new methods of communication that are swift, straightforward and practical. Language diversity came to be seen as an obstacle to trade and the spread of knowledge. Monolingualism became an ideal. More recently, the internationalization of economic markets, the spread of information by electronic media and other aspects of globalization have intensified the threat to “small” languages. A language not on the Internet is a language that “no longer exists” in the modern world. It is out of the game. The serious effects of the death of languages are evident. First of all, it is possible that if we all ended up speaking the same language, our brains would lose some of their natural capacity for linguistic inventiveness. We would never be able to figure out the origins of human language or resolve the mystery of “the first language”. As each language dies, a chapter of human history closes. Multilingualism is the most accurate reflection of multiculturalism. The destruction of the former will unavoidably lead to the loss of the latter. Imposing a language without any links to a people’s culture and way of life stifles the expression of their shared genius. A language is not only used for the main instrument of human communication. It also expresses the world vision of those who speak it, their ways of using knowledge. To safeguard languages is an urgent matter. 32. Which of the following does not contribute to the death of languages? A. Colonial conquests of Europe B. The boom of human population C. Advances in science and industrialization D. The rise of nation-states 33. The serious effects of the death of languages include all EXCEPT that_______. A. People would fail to understand how languages originated B. Language diversity would become an obstacle to globalization C. Monolingualism would lead to the loss of multiculturalism D. Human brains would become less creative linguistically 33. The underlined word “stifles” in the last paragraph probably means “_____”. A. indicates B. fuels C. imposes D. kills 34. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage? A. To explain the reasons why languages are dying out. B. To warn people of the negative aspects of globalization. C. To call people’s attention to the urgency of language preservation. D. To argue how important it is for people to speak more languages. 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 By 2025, water shortage will be a big problem for about 1.8 billion people. In a world where water resource is increasingly short, nations cannot afford to waste it. 36 After we use water in our homes and businesses, it is washed away, and takes many valuable resources with it. Waste water is rich in carbon and nutrients. 37 A number of nations and major cities have already built waste water treatment plants. They can effectively recover nutrients and bioenergy, and produce “new water” that can be reused. But more than 80% of all waste water still currently flows into natural ecosystems, polluting the environment and taking valuable nutrients and other recoverable materials with it. 38 This is still better than the situation in smaller cities. In Latin American countries, those living in small and medium sized cities at most treat it in the form of septic tanks (化粪池) that lack regular and proper maintenance. Imagine that outside one of these small cities lies a lovely piece of land on the surface which is pleasingly built and provides habitats for local wildlife. Beneath the surface is a wetland that treats waste water and produces energy. The energy produced saves families from having to use firewood collected in the wild. This is not a dream project. 39 A team of scientists have been looking into the potential of constructed wetland environments. Having analyzed 800 examples of biomass in more than 20 countries, they found that, depending on climate and the type of plant used in the construction of this type of wetland, up to 45 hectares of land could be irrigated(灌溉) with waste water. 40 A.But that is exactly what we do. B.This can provide easy access to clean water. C.There is no longer any good reason to waste any type of water. D.A constructed wetland environment is already in practice on a small scale. E.This would reduce the need for fresh water for irrigation and energy for pumping. F.If collected and treated properly, it could provide “new water”, fertilizer, and energy. G.Although waste water systems in large cities are effective, the whole procedure usually costs much. 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节,满分 45 分)第一节 完形填空(共 20 小题;每小题 1.5 分,满分 30 分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 The oldest person I know is a granny in a nursing home I often visit.

I saw her with a plastic 56 that goes through the nose, past the throat, and down into the 57 , which made me feel sad. Perhaps we weren’t 58 for paradise. Maybe we were meant to fight our way through and struggle, for every 59 of the way. The last time I visited her, she looked better, and was able to sit up and take a sunbath, smiling like a child.

Whenever something 69 (beat) us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is 70 great use to keep a diary in English for the development of our writing skills. 第四部分:写作(共三节,满分45分)第一节 单词拼写(共10小题,每题1分,满分10分)在空白处填入恰当的单词(仅1个单词),使句子意思完整,结构正确。请将所填单词 的完整形式填入答题卡相应位置。 71.

After getting up, I would like to invite my friends to go for a morning run in the park. It is a good idea to help my parents prepare a big meal at noon, after which my family will spend the whole afternoon enjoying the latest movie together. In the evening, we will stay at home, reading books. It is really a meaningful activity, so I am eager to call on more people around me to participate in the activity. Yours, 查看更多
