Here is a 5R rule for us:1.ReduceIf you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely. Millions of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses a little paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people dont know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the waste2.ReuseYou should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out. Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor. With a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.3. RecycleBottle, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so, we save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat（压平）and melted (融化) and the melted things are made for new coke cans.4. RecoverWhen you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten（腐烂的）apples. You have two choices: one is to throw the whole apple away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and eat the good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.5. RepairIf one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it instead of throwing it away. If you want to change for better ones, It is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair. It is true that North America is a “throw-away” society（社会）. But the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment. Every one of us should try our best.（1）_ can be recycled.A . Only hard thingsB . Many thingsC . Few soft thingsD . All things（2）The “recover” rule mainly requires us _.A . to throw waste things awayB . to cover waste things with earthC . to get back the useful partsD . to throw the whole things away（3）We can infer（推断） that the writer of this passage may live in _.A . ChinaB . JapanC . AustraliaD . America（4）Which of the following is true?A . We will have no resources（资源） of nature unless we can do with the waste.B . Recycling is the best way to save resources.C . If we waste less, we can save more resources of nature.D . More things are wasted in developed countries than in developing ones.18. （6分）阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D选项中选出最佳选项。BWhen you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence How do you do? for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.Languages dont just have different sounds; they are different in many ways. Its important to master the rules for the word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener cant understand the speakers sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesnt change. Lets see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.She only likes apples. Only she likes apples. I have seen the movie already. I have already seen the movie.When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.（1）From the passage we know that _ when we are learning English.A . we shouldnt put every word into our own languageB . we should look up every word in the dictionaryC . we need to put every word into our own languageD . we must read word by word（2）The writer thinks it is _ in learning English.A . difficult to understand different soundsB . possible to remember the word orderC . important to master the rules for the word orderD . easy to master the rules for the word order（3）Which is the best title for this passage?A . Different Orders, Different MeaningsB . How to speak EnglishC . How to Put French into Our Own LanguageD . How to Learn English19. （6分） America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They dont feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand .Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending（延伸）deeply into both families.T here is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they dont show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take a day off from our work to act as guides to our friends. It is opposite in America. Americans cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality（好客）at home and enjoy your visit in America!（1）The underlined phrase pick up in Paragraph 1may mean _.A . put downB . give upC . pay no attention toD . continue（2）From the passage, we can know_.A . Americans are always generous with their time.B . Americans dont feel hurt if their friendships disappear soon.C . Chinese friendships develop more slowly but will never disappear.D . Chinese friendships develop faster than American friendships.（3）This passage is most probably written for _.A . American studentsB . Chinese studentsC . Chinese visitors to AmericaD . American visitors to China20. （25分）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Maker MomentLast year, Izzy Goldstein, 12, learned in science class that we can reduce air pollution by using natural energy sources, such as wind and solar power, instead of gasoline. This made her wonder what she and her schoolmates could do to help the environment. Maybe if my school got a bike rack（架子）, more kids would bike to school instead of depending on cars, Izzy told TIME for Kids. Rather than ask their school to buy a rack, Izzy and her friends decided to make a bike rack by themselves.They came up with a design. They calculated how much wood they might need. They measured how long the boards should be. They used power tools to cut them and put them together safely. And they did all this in their schools makerspace.Makerspaces are workspaces where kids can learn to create objects using technology, engineering, art and design. These spaces often feature a mix of high-tech machines, such as 3D printers and robotic Kits(工具箱), and simple materials like clay and cardboard.Izzy goes to the Harley School in New York. It is one of a growing number of schools across the United States with makerspaces. Makerspaces are largely inspired by Maker Faires(创客盛会), which are events that give people a chance to share their creative projects. Each year, about 250,000 people attend the Maker Faires in San Mateo, California, and Queens, New York. Maker Faires have also spread to countries around the world, including Egypt, France and Thailand.Schools are introducing makerspaces to the curriculum(课程)because makerspaces give kids a way to have ideas and build something from those ideas. Kima Enerson is a makerspace teacher at the Harley School. But she says kids can become extraordinary makers in an ordinary classroom, too.In Harleys Lower School (pre-kindergarten to Grade 4), students learn about the basics of computer software. By third grade, they study coding and how electricity works. In sixth grade, they learn to safely use tools such as drills and saws. When students get to high school, Enerson shows them how to apply their skills to solve global problems. Throughout the process of designing, students are learning to create something to better the world, she says（1）What did Izzy and her friends decide to make by themselves? （2）What are makerspaces? （3）How many people attend the Maker Faires in San Mateo and Queens each year? （4）Why are schools introducing makerspaces to the curriculum? （5）What can high school students learn in Enersons class? 四、 短文填词 (共1题；共10分)21. （10分）阅读下面的短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词，或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。You are visiting the pyramids in Egypt, but the next second you are in France.
