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
Set at the entrance to beautiful bays and natural harbors, lighthouses have prevented ships from touching the
ground in shallow water for hundreds of years. Sadly, however, many of them are not needed because of effective
onboard navigational (导航的) systems. As they were designed to be visible, lighthouses often become very
distinctive landmarks: their shapes and colors stand out against the surrounding landscapes. Consequently, they
make for some fantastic photo opportunities and are usually set in impressive spots along rocky coastlines or wild
seas.
Galle Lighthouse
Located within the ancient walls of Galle Fort, the lighthouse of the same name has protected the surrounding
waters ever since it was first built in 1848. While it is the oldest lighthouse in the whole of Sri Lanka, the current
lighthouse’s blindingly bright white walls only date back to 1939, when it was rebuilt after a devastating fire.
Hercules Tower Lighthouse
Ever since the second century AD, Hercules Tower Lighthouse has watched out over Spain’s North Atlantic
coastline. This remarkably makes it one of the very few oldest lighthouses still in operation today. Such is its age
that it is believed to have been modeled after the Lighthouse of Alexandria—one of the Seven Wonders of the
Ancient World.
Big Red Lighthouse
Standing proudly at the south side of the Holland Channel, Big Red Lighthouse presents a striking red
appearance to increase its visibility in the daytime. Another unusual quality of Big Red is that the rare lighthouse
watches over two bodies of water—Lake Macatawa and Lake Michigan.
1. Who are probably the fans of lighthouses nowadays?
A. Photographers. B. Historians.
C. Sailors. D. Scientists.
2. Which of the following is currently used for navigation?
A. Galle Lighthouse. B. The Lighthouse of Alexandria.
C. Big Red Lighthouse. D. Hercules Tower Lighthouse.
3. What is special about Big Red Lighthouse?
A. It has the same name as the ancient walls.
B. It borders Lake Macatawa and Lake Michigan.
C. It gives off red light to increase its visibility.
D. It is modeled after the ancient wonder.
B
Last weekend, I said goodbye to another dear old friend. We had 12 fine years together, but our relationship
was becoming dysfunctional(不正常的). Unwanted emissions and serious health problems were the final straw,
leaving me with no choice but to make a trip to the knacker’s(收废汽车者的)yard.
I am now car-free for the first time in 20 years, and it feels strange. When I gave up meat, I did so mainly for
environmental reasons, and I didn’t miss it at all. I would like to say the same about my car, but I can’t. It was first
and foremost a financial decision: keeping the old car on the road was getting too expensive.
But doing the right thing for the wrong reasons is still doing the right thing — I now have a chance to rethink
how I move myself and my family around, and can try to find a more environmentally friendly means of transport.
Going car-free is, I think, a lifestyle change that many of us are going to make over the next few years, as car
ownership becomes increasingly unnecessary, expensive and socially unacceptable. However, it is easier said than
done. Now my car is gone. I still need to get around. But how? I already cycle to work and use public transport
when appropriate. But there are some occasions when a car seems to be the only way.
I won’t buy one: I have joined a car-share program and will use taxis more often. I will hire a car if I need to
drive a long distance. But then I am still travelling in fossil-fuelled cars(燃油汽车), like when I quit meat and
ended up eating more cheese. I fear I may have swapped one environmental problem for another.
I am also afraid to think about the ultimate fate of my car. I have just offloaded more than a ton of metal,
plastic, rubber, fabric, electronics, oil and petrol that will end up in a landfill. There are millions of similar vehicles
in the UK alone that will have to go somewhere.
Maybe I am overthinking it. According to Charlie Wilson, a climate scientist at the UK’s Tyndall Centre for
Climate Change Research, getting rid of a private car is no doubt a positive step to reduce CO2 emissions.
He points to research by the OECD’s International Transport Forum. “They showed that moving from a
private vehicle fleet(车队)to a shared vehicle fleet can greatly cut the number of vehicles you need to deliver the
mobility that we need and want. If that vehicle fleet is electrified, you can also bring CO2 emissions close to zero.”
So in other words, just get rid of your car.
4. What do we know about the author’s car?
A. It was old. B. It was green.
C. It was his first car. D. It was a second-hand car.
5. What do the author’s giving up meat and saying goodbye to his car have in common?
A. He did both for the wrong reasons. B. He thinks both help him save money.
C. He considers both are right decisions. D. He did both out of concern for the environment.
6. What does the author fear?
A. He may have to spend more on travel.
B. His lifestyle might be changed completely.
C. He might get bored with public transportation.
D. His decision may fail to help the environment.
7. What does Charlie Wilson say?
A. It is wise to do away with old private cars.
B. It is very easy to deal with old private cars.
C. Electric cars are the solution to traffic problems.
D. The OECD plays a key role in promoting car-sharing.
C
Like many teenagers, I was once troubled by anxiety and dissatisfaction-feelings that my parents often met
with puzzlement rather than sympathy. They were already in their 50s, and having grown up in postwar Britain,
they struggled to understand the sources of my discontentment.
“The problem with your generation is that you always desire to be happy.” my mother once said. I was
puzzled. Surely happiness was the purpose of living, and we should spare no efforts to achieve it at every
opportunity. I simply wasn’t prepared to accept my unhappiness as something that was beyond my control.
But I have noticed a shift in thinking, and I am now coming to the conclusion that my mother’s judgement was
spot on. Over the past 10 years, numerous studies have shown that our obsession (痴迷) with happiness and high
personal confidence may be making us less content with our lives, and less effective at reaching our actual goals.
Indeed, we may often be happy when we stop focusing on happiness altogether.
While greater contentment is achievable, don’t expect miracle, and accept that no matter how hard you try,
feeling of frustration and unhappiness will appear from time to time. In reality, certain negative feelings can serve a
useful purpose.
When we feel sad, it’s often because we have learned something painful but important, while stress can
motivate you to make some changes to your life. The last thing you should do is to blame yourselves for
occasionally feeling bad when plans don’t work out.
Eventually, you might adopt the old saying “Prepare for the worst, hope for the best and be unsurprised by
everything in between.” As my mother tried to teach me all those years ago, ease the pressure off yourself. and you
may find that contentment arrives when you’re least expecting it.
8. Which of the following best explain “spot on” underlined in Paragraph 3?
A. Confusing. B. Correct. C. Ridiculous. D. Controversial.
9. According to the passage which of the following mainly leads to teenager’ unhappiness?
,
A. High expectations.
B. Low living-purposes.
C. Inadequate efforts.
D. Improper preparations.
10. Which of the following statements is the author most likely lo agree with?
A. Stress in your life will probably ruin your happiness and life.
B. Higher personal confidence makes us more satisfied with our life.
C. You needn’t be guilty of feeling awful since you may learn a lot from it.
D. If we try hard, feelings of frustration and unhappiness will disappear from our life.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Can we benefit from negative feelings?
B. Why it’s time to stop fighting for happiness?
C. How can we overcome our unhappiness?
D. Can we generation be happier than our parents?
D
In WALL-E, a science fiction movie, a little robot is responsible for cleaning a world covered in garbage; a
world where there is no longer room for anything else, not even humans! The film encourages common people,
worldwide leaders and businessmen to ask the obvious question: What can be done to prevent something like this
happening? For some, microfactories could become the most promising answer.
Veena Sahajwalla, a materials scientist and engineer in Sydney, Australia, has discovered a solution to the
challenging waste problem. Her one-stop approach could go beyond the existing recycling processes. Her waste
microfactories mainly target electronic waste and plastic, and are essentially little trash processors. These can
transform waste into new materials with the help of thermal(热的) technology.
“Using our green manufacturing technologies, these microfactories can transform waste, enabling local
businesses and communities to not only solve local waste problems, but to develop a commercial opportunity from
the valuable materials that are created,” she explains.
Humans generate 2.01 billion tons of solid waste annually. And as the fastest growing waste stream,
approximately 53.6 million tons of e-waste were generated globally by 2019. Despite current efforts, only 17.4
percent of this is known to have been collected and properly recycled. Meanwhile, worldwide e-waste generation is
expected to continue to grow, reaching almost 80 million tons by 2030.
Although the most effective solution to the waste challenges would not generate as much trash, Sahajwalla
microfactories provide hope for all the waste that already exists. Her solution not only decreases the amount of
waste, but it also improves its management and enables new manufacturing opportunities around the new materials
created.
WALL-E shows us the best and the worst of what human beings have to offer. It shows where the world is
headed unless the human species slows down and stops developing at the current pace. But it also provides hope,
showing that we also have a great power to change and improve.
12. What’s the aim to write the first paragraph?
A. To tell us what WALL-E is about. B. To show the wide future of robots.
C. To introduce the use of microfactories. D. To praise Veena Sahajwalla’s contribution
13. What do we know about Veena Sahajwalla?
A. She is a top scientist in Australia. B. She has been devoted to garbage factories.
C. Her waste microfactories are practical. D. Her trash processors are being widely promoted.
14. How does the fourth paragraph develop?
A. By making contrasts. B. By listing relevant figures.
C. By summarizing the above. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards microfactories?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Unclear. D. Indifferent

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选
项。
Some people are so rude. Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you?” Who leaves a
voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on the Internet? ______16______
Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little courtesies(礼节). But many social norms(规范) just
don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.
Take the thank-you note. Daniel Post Senning, a coauthor of Emily Post’s Etiquette，asked, “At what point
does showing appreciation outweigh the cost?”
_____17_____ Think of how long it takes to listen to one of those messages. In texts, you don’t have to
declare who you are or even say hello. E-mail, too, is slower than a text. The worst are those who leave a voice
mail and then send an e-mail message to tell you they left a voice mail.
This isn’t the first time technology has changed our manners, ____18____ Alexander Graham Bell, the
inventor, suggested that people say, Ahoy! Finally, hello won out, and the victory sped up the greeting's use in
face-to-face communications.
In the age of the smart phone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about:the weather forecast, a
business’s phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, or an office, which can be easily found on a digital
map. _____19_____ And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.
How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people,especially older ones,
appreciate a thank-you message. ____20____ In traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern
societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here's hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that
time-wasting forms of communication do.
A. Then there is voice mail.
B. Others, like me, want no reply.
C. But people still ask these things.
D. Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?
E. Won't new technology bring about changes in our daily life?
F. Face-to-face communication makes comprehension much easier.
G. When the telephone was invented, people didn't know how to greet a caller.
