10、eet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a childs bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle. After a while the whistle blew. It was like throwing a basket of chum into a tank o

11、f sharks. I told my wife that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.As the boxes of bikes began to gradually decrease, I saw my opportunity to wrap myhands around the corner of one of them, I lifted it off and suddenly felt some mild resistance. I looked up to see on

12、e of the largest men I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not enough to describe his presence. He was decorated with numerous leather belts with metal buttons around both arms and even his neck.I started to loosen the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He

13、 then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, Merry Christmas.”My wife and I went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home. All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best Christmas gift I had ever received. Thekindness of a human heart in a

14、 simple act of a stranger broke all preconceived notions(先入为主的观念) I may have had. I will never forget it.21. What does the underlined wordchummean in paragraph 1?A. Gifts.B.Food.C. GoodsD. Souvenirs.22. Why did the author loosen the box when seeing the man?A. The author didnt want to buy it.B. The m

15、an needed it more.C. The author was frightened by the man. D. The man got the box first.23. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Best Christmas GiftB. The Largest Man I Have Ever SeeC. An Unforgettable BikeD. A Shopping ExperienceBOne of the costs of being a lover of ol

16、d trees is the all-too-frequent loss of a beautiful soul youve grown fond of. Last summer was harder than most for old trees and their humansupporters. The springs nonstop rains flooded soils and caused root systems of many large,old trees to rot in part. Then, when the summer came, trees could not

17、tap deep sources ofwater that would normally have maintained them. Many valuable old trees died.When I volunteered on the Mount Rainier Tree Commission, I heard from many peopleconcerned about their trees. We had little to offer them. Thats because public and privateurban tree resources and programs

18、 were aimed almost entirely at planting trees and not at all maintaining trees. No state or province program that I could find provided any financialresources for maintaining tree health. Small and under-resourced cities such as ours were onheir own.This is backward, Scientists are learning that lar

19、ge, old trees are the most valuable,especially in cities,. They put on wood fastest and take the most carbon out of the air. Theyharbor the most wildlife. They can lower summer temperatures by 20 degrees or more. In arecent study, researchers found that Boston would get more benefit from keeping the

20、 trees ithas alive than from planting new trees. Theres the reason to think this finding would apply in other cities, too.Now, our public and private tree programs often ignore old trees until it is too late. Aslong as we abandon our old trees, planting more is merely to keep pace with growing losse

21、s.We want trees to help protect us, but we leave them unprotected. Consider this in the human world; Nobody would send a baby into the world and expect it to just make it, Children need caring for and its why we have schools and child health-insurance programs, We could get so much more out of our t

22、rees if we just put a little more into them.24. What does the underlined part in paragraph 1 suggest?A. Strong determination to plant trees. B. Real regret at growing old trees.C. Great concern about tree problems. D. Deep love for valuable old trees.25. Why was the author almost powerless to help p

23、eople worried about their trees?A. The urban tree programs were faced with financial problems.B. The author s knowledge of maintaining tree health was limitedC. The focus of the tree resources and programs was on tree planting.D. The organization the author volunteered on was short of tree experts.2

24、6. The author argues in paragraph 3 by_.A. comparing different cases_210B. presenting research findingsC. referring to scientists sayingsD. carrying out some experiments27. Why does the author give the example of nursing babies in the end?A. To stress the importance of tree insurance programs.B. To

25、show the close connection between trees and babies.C. To advocate protecting trees as humans care for babies.D. To persuade human beings to pay more attention to babies.CTime and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by

26、a pendulum(钟摆) and is not psychological time,which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.”Psychologists

27、have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, flyon swifter wings as we age. They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seers to pass. For example, a day at the office fliescompared with a day at the beach.Expectation

28、 and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of ushave had the experience of driving somewhere weve never been before, Surrounded byunfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when well arrive, we experience the trip as lasting along time. But the return trip, although exactly

29、as long, seems to take far less time. Thenovelty of the outward journey has become routine.When days become as identical as beads(小珠子) on a string,they mix together,andeven months become a single day. To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structureof your day-to stop time, so to speak.L

30、earning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of thereasons the days of our youth seems to be full and long is that these are the days of learningand discovery. For many of us learning ends when we leave school, but this doesnt haveto be.28. What is the underlined sentenc

31、e in paragraph 1 used to show?A. Psychological time is quite puzzling.B. Time should not be measured by a pendulum.C. Physical time is different from psychological time.D. Physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time.29. Why do units of time fly faster as we grow older?A. Our sense

32、of time changes.B. We spend less time at the beach.C. More time is structured and scheduledD. Time is structured with too many appointments.30. What doesnoveltyin paragraph 3 probably mean?A. ExcitementB.familiarity.C. Imagination.D. Amusement.31. What is the purpose of the passageA. To give various

33、 explanations about time,B. To describe how we experience time physically.C. To show the differences of two kinds of time.D. To explain why time flies and how to slow it down.DHardware in general, and smartphones in particular, have become a huge environmental and health problem in the Global South

34、s landfill sites(垃圾填埋场).Electronic waste(e-waste) currently takes up 5 percent of all global waste, and it is set toincrease rapidly as more of us own more than one smartphone, laptop and power bank. They end up in places like Agbogbloshie on the outskirts of Ghanas capital, Accra. It is the biggest

35、 e-waste dump in the world, where 10,000 informal workers walk through tons of abandoned goods as part of an informal recycling process. They risk their health searching for the precious metals that are found in abandoned smartphones. But Agbogbloshie should not exist. The Basel Convention, a 1989 t

36、reaty aims to preventdeveloped nations from unauthorized dumping of e-waste in less developed countries. TheE-waste industry, however, circumvents the regulations by exporting e-waste labelled as“secondhand goodsto poor countries like Ghana, knowing full well that it is heading for alandfill site.A

37、recent report found Agbogbloshie contained some of the most dangerous chemicals.This is not surprising: smartphones contain chemicals like mercury(水银), lead and evenarsenic (砷 ) Reportedly, one egg from a free-range chicken in Agbogbloshie contained acertain chemical which can cause cancer and damag

38、e the immune system at a level thats about 220 times greater than a limit set by the European Food Safety Authority(EFSA), Mostworryingly, these poisonous chemicals are free to pollute the broader soil and water system.This should concern us all, since some of Ghanas top exports are cocoa and nuts.

39、Some governments have started to take responsibility for their consumers waste. Forexample, Germany has started a project that includes a sustainable recycling system atAgbogbloshie, along with a health clinic for workers. However, governments cannot solve theproblem alone, as there is am almost lim

40、itless consumer demand for hardware, especiallywhen governments green policies are focused on issues like climate change.Only the manufacturers can fix this. A more economically sustainable and politicallypossible solution is through encouraging hardware manufacturers to make the repair, reuseand re

Electronic waste is too complex to get fully recycled.C. Electronic waste requires more landfill sites across Ghana.D. Electronic pollution is a burning qu
