It is beautiful Lets find a special spot on the tree for it” Every year since, they are displayedA few hours after I started, the filled boxes were back in the garage, the room was vacuumed (用吸尘器清扫) and I sat staring at a barren (空荡荡的) corner The room seemed so empty It took me two days of work to assemble (收集) and decorate my tree, but only a few hours to take it apartMy tree is a good marriage or a great friendship Like the tree, they take a long time to assemble and decorate with memories, but can be torn down quicklyEvery year I have to put my tree away, but not my marriage or friendships I take great care of those They get to glow in the corner of my life for as long as I live I get to analyze my tree and find memories for a few weeks every year I can do the same with the loves in my life every day Take great care of your friendships and your marriage Once they e down, they arent as easy to put back together as a Christmas tree Stand them in that special spot in the corner of your heart and admire their glow24In the authors eyes, the Christmas tree _Ais a collection of childhood memoriesBis a symbol of long-lasting relationsCtakes too much time to decorateDis full of

main theme of the article?AWed better put away Christmas decorations and recycle them each yearBFriendships and marriages should be valued and managed carefullyCMemories with friends and family should be cherished and relivedDWe should decorate Christmas trees with personal stuff and recycleCIts a land where winter darkness is long, and summers bring continuous sunlightHowever, people are very happy in Finland, despite the countrys natural challenges Last month, the nation was named the happiest on Earth, according to the xx World Happiness Report released by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions NetworkThe Finns certainly have a high range of happiness, Eric Weiner wrote in his xx book The Geography of BlissTheres a stereotype (刻板印象) that Finns are introverted (内向的) and shy, because they often stay silent But in fact, “for Finns, it is extremely rude to interrupt someone This leads to us making pauses or taking our time to talk”, Krista Huhtala-jenks, a senior officer at Finlands Ministry of Transport and munications, explained to CNNPerhaps Finlands love for heavy metal music and tango reveals the countrys true personality, however Indeed, young Finns love heavy metal, while tango remains a huge part of Finnish culture for the older generation The passionate dance started in Argentina, but its Finland that became the tango capital of the world Every July, the Finnish town of Seinajoki draws thousands of people from all over the world to a four-day tango festival During the festival, a tango king and queen are chosenAnother trademark (特征) of Finnish culture is the sauna (桑拿) According to CNN, the nation has about 35 million saunas roughly one for every 16 people And 99 percent of Finns take at least one sauna a week, BBC News reportedIn Finns eyes, saunas are closely related to well-being For example, if a person gets sick, he or she will take a sauna Many women also prefer to give birth in a sauna, because “the walls of traditional smoke saunas were lined with naturally bacteria-resistant soot (抑菌的煤烟灰), making them the cleanest room in the house”, BBC News notedMedical benefits aside, the sauna is also seen as a place to collect your thoughts “Sauna is for your mind It really helps you to calm down in a modern society where it is never quiet,” Jarmo Lehtola from the Finnish Sauna Society, told BBC News “If somebody wants to understand what it is to be a Finn, they have to understand what a sauna is If you do not experience sauna, you do not experience Finland”28According to Huhtala-jenks, why do Finns often remain silent?AThey are too introverted to talkBThey prefer to take time to thinkCThey have plenty of time for conversationDThey believe its impolite to interrupt others29How does the author show the saunas popularity in Finland?ABy giving examplesBBy raising questionsCBy presenting dataDBy making a parison30How do Finns believe saunas benefit people?AThey help people to recover from cancerBThey can reduce the pain of giving birthCThey help people keep a peaceful mindDTheyre a good place to look for inspiration31Whats the authors main purpose in writing the article?ATo explore the interesting history of FinlandBTo introduce some aspects of Finnish cultureCTo study Finns true personalityDTo show Finlands love for saunasDWhile the dangers of climate change attract more attention than other environmental issues, the problems of waste and toxics (有毒物质) also continue and are worthy of attention and action One of the fastest growing environmental problems of the past decade has been the rapid increase in electronic waste As society has moved from the iPhone 2 to the iPhone 6, all of those old iPhones have had to go somewhere Tablets, PCs, old TVs, DVD players and countless other devices are nearly always abandoned before their useful life is over Many of these devices contain small amounts of toxic materials When they are thrown away, these toxics can enter our garbage system That system is not designed to handle dangerous wasteHere in New York City, efforts to manage electronic waste began during Mayor Bloombergs PlaNYC program and continue under Mayor de Blasios OneNYC This past January, New York City and New York State started a ban on disposing (处理) of electronic waste with regular garbage New Yorkers who throw their iPhone into the garbage could be subject to a $100 fineWhile the city will not pick up electronics for you, 90 locations throughout the city, including Best Buy and Staples stores and the Salvation Army, will accept electronics that are not needed any more In partnership with Electronic Recyclers International, the city began a collection program in November xx at apartment buildings Buildings provide rooms or large containers for local people who need to throw their old devices away Buildings can also decide on specific days for collectionHowever, consumers alone cannot address the issue of electronic waste The panies that build and sell these devices must play a key role Now it isnt the time to get into the short lives of iPhones or whether or not this is planned, but if these products are going to be replaced so often then Apple and its petitors must design the phones to be easily taken apart for raw materials or parts to be used in other devices This effort to recycle should bee part of the design for engineers working on the next generation of electronic toys In addition, panies should be offering rewards for consumers who trade in their old model to receive a new one The production chain from producer to market should bee a closed loop, with the product going back to an organization that can make some use of it32What is the fastest-growing environmental problem of the past decade according to the article?A Global warming B Electronic waste C Air pollution D Population growth33What measures have been taken in New York City to manage electronic waste?ANew Yorkers who throw away used iPhones now receive a $100 fineBThe city picks up electronic waste on certain days each monthCAll apartment buildings in the city now provide rooms to collect electronic wasteDNew Yorkers can now throw away unneeded electronics in specific locations throughout the city34Who should play a key role in dealing with electronic waste according to the article?AConsumers BLocal governmentsCProduction panies DInternational organizations35What is the best way to reduce electronic waste according to the author?AConsumers should use electronics up to the end of their useful lifeBpanies should try their best to produce electronics with longer livesCpanies should use less dangerous materials when producing electronicsDpanies should produce electronics that can be easily recycled第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。It had been a
