I’m sure you all know how important recycling is. Recycling is when you take old things and turn them into new things. It sounds like magic. But it’s actually very scientific.
Materials The first thing you have to do is collect items that can be recycled. Only certain materials can be recycled. These include things made out of paper, metal, glass and plastic.
Daily things Can you think of everyday items made of these materials Soda cans are a good example. They are made out of metal. Magazines and newspapers are made out of paper. So are cereal boxes. Some bottles of juice are made out of glass. Bags and yogurt containers are made out of plastic. There are many things that can be recycled.
Loop These things are usually stamped with the recycling loop. It has 3 arrows that go in a triangular (三角形的) circle. This shows that the cycle (循环) continues. Items are thrown away but continue their lives as something else.

On a rainy day, about 150 volunteers worked for eight hours to clean up Carson Creek that is near a river. About nine tons of trash was taken out from there.
“We did a good job,” said Alan Specter, the organizer of the event. “We’ve planned to come back here one more time. Of course, we hope that there won’t be so much trash next time.”
The trash came in all shapes, sizes and colors: bottles, bicycles, batteries, furniture, clothing, plastic bags, dolls and even a golf bag with a full set of golf clubs (高尔夫球杆).
The dirty and tiring work was done by two volunteering groups—Save the Bay and Watch the Whales. Most of the volunteers came from a local police station and a fire station. And some of them were old people who had already been retired.
That day, it rained a little. All of them wore boots and raincoats. The work took place along a two-mile river with over 500 big yellow trash bags everywhere.
No one found anything that cost much. A five-year-old boy found an earring which he thought might be worth a million dollars. He said he’d sell it. Then he’d donate half of the money to Watch the Whales, and use the other half to buy his favorite ice-cream every day.
Many people laughed at the boy’s story.
However, it was easily found that the environment there did become better.

When your pen is broken, the battery（电池）in your toy runs out, or you have some leftover food, what will you do with these things You will probably throw them all into one bin. But actually, all of these pieces of trash need to be sorted（分类）separately.
Garbage sorting is a big issue worldwide. In recent years, some Chinese cities have been working hard on it.
Shanghai has worked with Alipay to create a “green account（账户）” service for its residents. Account holders get points by correctly sorting their garbage. Through the Alipay app, they can exchange the points for milk, phone cards and other products. The city is asking all of its residents to sort their garbage into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.
Wet waste is also known as household waste. “They are things you don’t want but pigs can eat,” Guangzhou Daily explained Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.
Harmful waste includes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs（荧光灯泡）.
Finally, any waste that’s not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in to the “dry waste” bin.
Many other Chinese cities are also using this method to sort their garbage. For example, Shenzhen has been sorting its garbage into the same four groups since 2012. Students there also receive waste-sorting guidebooks that they must study.
China is improving its waste-sorting efforts. There is still a long way to go. But it’s never too late to learn how to sort your trash properly and protect the environment.
If you don’t sort your garbage, all of it will go to a landfill（垃圾填埋场）and be buried together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could have been used for planting trees or crops. The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries, can pollute the soil and groundwater（地下水）. Other pieces of garbage, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.
11．What does the underlined word “residents” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese
A．清洁工 B．居民 C．农民 D．渔民
12．How is Shanghai encouraging people to sort their garbage
A．By creating a green account service with the help of Alipay.
B．By paying people to sort their trash correctly.
C．By allowing people to exchange garbage with each other.
D．By providing its residents with guidebooks to help them.
13．Which of the following would be classified as wet waste
A．Batteries. B．Glasses. C．Leftover food. D．Medicine.
14．What do we know about garbage sorting in China
A．It started its garbage sorting system in 2012.
B．Students have to take waste-sorting classes in school.
C．There is still a lot of work to be done in this area.
D．Landfills are a common method of getting rid of garbage.
15．What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A．Where we can bury our waste.
B．Why we should sort our garbage properly.

Google and Toyota have worked together to create a new smart car. It can run on the road without a driver. It drives itself. The self-driving car hasn’t been on sale to the public, so we don’t know how much it costs. Another thing most people want to know is whether it will be safe enough to run on the road.
The self-driving car uses electricity as its power, and it can’t drive very quickly—the top speed would be 25 miles per hour. It is actually controlled by a computer system (系统) on the car. The system keeps on collecting information by some video cameras inside the car and a LIDAR sensor (激光雷达传感器) on top of it. A computer processes the information and decides what to do. “The self-driving car has only buttons for go and stop, so it’s very easy to use,” an engineer of Google says. “And what’s more, it will make car accidents less and make the world a safer place.” The self-driving car has driven hundreds of thousands of miles in California, and it has only gotten into two accidents by human mistake.
According to CNN, self-driving cars will also help to reduce (减少) the number of cars in big cities. “Self-driving cars would be able to send you to the workplace and then pick up another person instead of stopping in a parking lot.”
26．We don’t know the price of the self-driving car because ________.
A．it is on sale only in America
B．it isn’t made for sale
C．people can get it for free
D．it hasn’t been on sale to the public
27．The self-driving car can collect information using ________.
①video cameras ②a computer
③a LIDAR sensor ④a computer system
A．①② B．①③
C．①②③ D．①②③④
28．According to CNN, self-driving cars will ________.
A．send us more quickly to the workplace
B．lead to heavier traffic
C．improve traffic condition in big cities
D．carry more people than a normal car
29．Which statements is not Right
A．The self-driving car uses electricity as its power.
B．it will make car accidents less.
C．Toyota created a new smart car.
D．It’s not difficult to use.
30．The underlined word “ button” means “________” in Chinese

Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don't know is that junk(垃圾)has become a problem in outer space too.
According to BBC News, there are more than 22, 000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes (望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.
Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle.
To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.
To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.
Many scientists also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.
The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers,” says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space
Researcher.
“The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,” he says.
31．What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．Telescopes.
B．Satellites.
C．Pieces of space junk.
D．BBC news reports.
32．Why is space junk considered a problem
A．It buns up after it re-enters the atmosphere
B．It often stops the view of telescopes on Earth
C．It could force new space tools to travel at slower speeds
D．It may crash into other space tools causing damage or death
33．Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth's atmosphere so that .
A．the tools can be reused later
B．the tools don't become space junk
C．the earth’s atmosphere can stay clean
D．the effects of space flight can be studied
34．How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk
A．Catch it with nets.
B．Use robots to collect it.
C．Burn it in the earth's atmosphere.

Andrew Holleman, a 12-year-old boy,loved playing in the open land near his home.The land was wet and forested, and made a home for birds, other animals and many different plants.
It made the perfect place for him to study and get to know the nature. He had seen some red-tail hawks, red foxes, wood turtles and other animals. He also found special native flowers.
Suddenly it was announced that the “empty” land would be improved by a lot of houses on it. The plants would be removed, the animals would run away and most would probably die. Then the wet soil would be covered with extra grounds.

Why is clean water so important to developing countries A recent report shows that about 80 percent of diseases in developing countries are caused by poor water and low sanitation（卫生）conditions. In those countries, women and girls spend several hours collecting water, but often polluted, far away from their families. The polluted water more or less influences their health. In this case, there is an urgent（迫切的）need for people in developing countries to have access to（有机会或权利使用）clean water to improve their health.
Here is a short story about Hadjara Zakari, a 12-year-old girl in Niger. Having access to clean water changed her life. She learned about the importance of hand-washing when the school first received clean water three years ago. That evening, she told her father, “You shouldn’t eat with me unless you clean your hands.” Her father was very angry and shouted at her, “It’s not up to you to tell me what to do!” Stunned（目瞪口呆的），Hadjara sat in silence. But she knew she was right. In protest, Hadjara refused to eat dinner that night. After her father questioned Hadjara’s head teacher, he understood the importance of hand-washing and his daughter’s intentions（目的）. The girl really wanted her family to live longer and healthier lives.
For people in developing countries, clean water can change many things, especially improve their health. So, from now on, let’s avoid wasting water and take action to save water, which is important to people all over the world.

Thirty years ago, Lake Ponkapog in Hartwell, New Jersey, was full of life. Many birds and animals lived beside the water, which was full of fish. Now there are few birds, animals, and fish.
The lake water is polluted (污染的). It is in a color of dirty brown, and it is filled with strange plants.
How does this happen First we must think about how water gets into Lake Ponkapog. When it rains, water comes into the lake from all around. In the past there were forests all around Lake Ponkapog so the rain water was clean.
Now there are many homes around the lake. People often use chemicals (化学品) in their gardens. They use other chemicals inside their houses for cleaning or killing insects (昆虫). There are also many businesses. Businesses use chemicals in their machines or shops. Other chemicals fall onto the ground from cars or trucks. When it rains, the rain water picks up all the chemicals from homes and businesses and then carries them into the lake. They pollute the water and kill the animals.
Boats on the lake are also a problem. Lake Ponkapog is a popular place for motorboats. But oil and gas (油和汽) from boats often get into the lake. So more bad chemicals go into the water this way.
People in Hartwell are worried. They love their lake and want to save it. Will it be possible A clean lake must have clean rainwater going into it. Clean rainwater is possible only if people are more careful about chemicals at home and at work. They must also be more careful about gas and oil and other chemicals on the ground. And they mustn't use motorboats any more on the lake. All these may change people's lives. Only then can Lake Ponkapog be a beautiful, clean lake again.
46．In the past, the water in Lake Ponkapog was made clean by ______.
A．forests B．rain C．birds D．fish
47．Chemicals from homes and businesses ______.
A．are always clean

D．use more motorboats on the lake
50．The passage is about ______.
A．boats on Lake Ponkapog

Imagine 50 years from now. Imagine the perfect school.
Getting to school is already difficult because of traffic. In 50 years' time, it will be even more difficult. A solution is needed. Imagine there is a big cyber-school, but the classes are in many different places, both in the suburbs and the city. You would never need to walk more than 10 minutes to get to school.
Once you get there, there is no teacher speaking at the front of the class. Instead there is a large screen playing a video of the teacher. There is a classroom helper who walks around helping you with your problems. You can get the best teaching there, and you have a helper who can help you understand your work. You listen to the teacher for only 15 minutes. Then you work in teams to do group projects and solve problems together.
The days of pen and paper are gone. You each have your own computer and you do all your work and tasks on it. After classes finish, you can stay there and talk with your school friends.
You each have a locker to keep your personal things. There is a fridge to keep your lunch and a microwave to warm it. There are sofas to sit on when it's time to read a book.
Your class would always be cool in summer and warm in winter. There is solar and wind power on the roof of the building. Each room is kept at a comfortable temperature automatically.

“Save the whales!” That's what the picture on Jake Smith's bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important that showed he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood.
It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whales' coming. A group of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake's hometown. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they'd have to do anything about.
Then one whale swam in the direction, directly towards land. It came in with the waves, and when the waves receded, it stayed. Its huge body rested on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the animal. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use.
An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the animal. Jake and his family couldn't do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could help in some way.
Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump for joy, it rose high above the water—a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save its life.
56．What does the picture on Jake's wall tell us about him
A．He lived near the ocean.
B．He cared about the environment.
C．He worked as an animal rescuer.
D．He thought whales were the most beautiful animals.
57．Why did the local people go down to the beach that morning

59．How did Jake and his family help save the whale
