Since then, the students and teachers in it have studied the modern garbage in different cities.To study the garbage, the students had to travel to landfills (填埋场) , the places where cities bury (填埋) their garbage. While the students were studying the garbage they wore special clothes. Students were very careful when they opened bags of garbage.One important thing the students have learned from studying the garbage is that the garbage in landfills disappears very slowly. That was surprising to both the students and many scientists who had thought that about 70 % of the garbage in landfills would disappear quickly. Even in cities where it rains a lot, the students found newspapers from 1948, 40-year-old hot dogs, and vegetables from 1970. And the students also found many more empty bottles of cola than they expected.How to dispose of our garbage well depends on what kind of garbage it is: regular(普通的) garbage, dangerous materials, or recyclable materials, such as newspapers and glass bottles. Regular garbage goes to regular landfills. Dangerous materials are harmful to peoples health and the environment. They shouldnt go into regular landfills.Homes are full of dangerous waste. One kind of the dangerous waste in homes is batteries. When batteries are buried directly（直接地）in a landfill, they often break open. The poison inside them moves through rain water to the bottom of the landfill. Then it can pollute the natural water in the ground.Another dangerous waste from homes is motor oil. When people pour old motor oil on the ground or throw it in the garbage, it pollutes the environment.Our garbage problem is not new, but as the worlds population continues to grow, it will become a bigger and bigger problem.（1）The Garbage Project started at the University of Arizona in _. A . 1973B . 1970C . 1948D . 1940（2）To study the modern garbage, the students had to do many things except _. A . Wearing special clothesB . traveling to landfillsC . burying the garbage themselvesD . opening bags of garbage（3）The underlined words dispose of in Paragraph 4 means _. A . crash intoB . deal withC . worry aboutD . put up（4）From the article, we know old motor oil _. A . should go to regular landfillsB . isnt harmful garbageC . mustnt be poured on the groundD . never pollutes the environment（5）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A . There are only two kinds of dangerous waste in homes.B . Scientists thought about 70 % of the garbage in landfills would disappear slowly.C . The students found empty bottles of cola were not as many as they expected.D . Batteries often break open when they are buried directly in a landfill.5. （8分）阅读理解 You might see aliens in books and movies. They look strange. They are very smart. They travel in spaceships.

They may have small talk at parties, while waiting in line at the store, at family events or work. Its a way to say hi and express friendliness.Small talk is very useful. It can avoid uncomfortable silences and build stronger relationships. For example, when you first meet someone or talk to someone you dont know well, you can break the ice by making small talk. Small talk with a colleague(同事) about his child may help you to understand more of his life outside the office.In 2013, researchers from the University of Essex asked some people to make small talk in a study. They found small talk can make people happier. People who talked briefly(短暂地) with a waiter in a coffee shop felt happier than those who simply went in, ordered and left.However some people are not good at small talk. Here are some tips to improve your small-talking ability.Firstly, find common ground. When you have something similar with your speaking partner, that means you have something to talk about.Secondly, ask open-ended questions. They are suitable(合适的) for small talk. For example, if you ask visitors whether they like your city, they may simply say Yes. But if you ask What do you think of our city, they will have more freedom in how they answer.Thirdly, become a student. Nobody knows everything. So, as someone is answering one of your open-ended questions, they bring up something about which you know nothing. So, tell them! This lets the other person become the teacher. They feel good about sharing their knowledge and you get to learn something. Its a win-win situation.Finally, practice makes perfect. Like anything, getting good at making small talk takes practice.If you make small talk in your native language, you might become happier. If you are making small talk using English, you will most surely improve your speaking and listening skills.（1）Do Americans often have small talk? （2）Why is small talk useful? （3）What did some researchers from the University of Essex find in 2013? （4）What kind of questions are suitable for small talk? （5）What does the writer tell us about small talk in the passage? 六、 书面表达（共 1 小题，满分 20 分） (共1题；共20分)10. （20分）你的笔友Jack来自澳大利亚，想在寒假期间到中国的哈尔滨或海南岛旅游。假如你是Li Jin，请你根据以下两个城市的信息推荐其中一处旅游去处并阐述理由，写一篇110词左右的文章。 哈尔滨(Harbin)海南岛(Hainan Island)PlacenortheastsoutheastTemperature2522.525.6Flyingabout 13 hoursabout 12 hoursThings to dogo skating；visit theswim in the sea, lie onIce Festival.the beach.第 17 页 共 17 页参考答案一、 完形填空（共 15 小题，每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） (共1题；共15分)1-1、二、 阅读理解（共 15 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 30 分） (共4题；共30分)2-1、2-2、2-3、2-4、2-5、3-1、3-2、3-3、3-4、3-5、4-1、4-2、4-3、4-4、4-5、5-1、5-2、5-3、5-4、三、 词汇运用（共 15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） (共2题；共15分)6-1、7-1、四、 语法填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） (共1题；共10分)8-1、五、 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） (共1题；共5分)9-1、9-2、9-3、9-4、9-5、六、 书面表达（共 1 小题，满分 20 分） (共1题；共20分)10-1、
