The boy tried to work it out himself. Through lots of research, Cress found out that Americans use about 500 million straws every day. In hopes of reducing plastic waste, he founded the Be Straw Free project in 2011.Cress started the project in his hometown Burlington, Vermont. He asked a local restaurant to stop offering straws with every drink order. It was a simple change. However, it would save money. And by doing that, the restaurant would cut down on its straw use by 50 percent.For the years that followed, Cress tried to spread his project across the United States. More and more restaurants agreed to join. They stop providing the customer with a straw unless he or she asks for one. Last April, Seattle became the first American city to completely ban (禁止) plastic straws.Plastic pollution has been one of the most serious problems today. According to scientists, more than eight million tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year. Plastic straws are especially terrible. They make it easy for people to get comfortable with single-use plastics.After his project became popular, Cress took his findings on the road. He has since spoken to tens of thousands of students around the world. He wants to encourage more people to say no to plastic straws.Focusing(聚焦) on straws is one simple step we all could take, Cress says. And it makes me feel that I, as a kid, could make a difference, too.（1）When did Milo Cress start to care about the problem of straws? A . Ten years ago.B . In the year 2011.C .

Britain? Which country is better to study in? We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.Its true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language.Students must also learn to live without parents care and deal with all kinds of things they havent had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden (负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.Title: Studying at home or study _?Phenomenon（现象）Studying abroad has become a _for Chinese students.AdvantagesIt is helpful for Chinese students to _themselves.It is helpful for Chinese students to _foreign language skills.It enables(使能够) Chinese students to find jobs more _._It _Chinese students too much time to learn a foreign language.Its hard for Chinese students to get used to the life abroad _parents care.Parents may be under pressure（压力）because the cost of studying abroad is very _Purpose: To tell us studying abroad is not the only way to be _by describing Liu Xiangs example.四、 单词拼写 (共1题；共1分)22. （1分）Many old people have difficulty_(sleepy), which makes them worried. 五、 短文填空 (共1题；共10分)23. （10分）根据短文及首字母填空。Walt Disney was b_ in Chicago in 1901.
