30、ess57.How much do you have to pay if you read all the 4 books in the electronic version?A.$99.56. B.$91.57.C.$64.76. D.$12.97.BHappy was one of seven Asian elephant calves captured，probably from the same herd，in Thailand in the early 1970s.Named after Disneys seven dwarves，they were shipped to Ameri

31、ca and sold to circuses and zoos.Happy and Grumpy ended up in the Bronx zoo，where they lived in an enclosure for 25 years.In 2002 they were transferred to a larger enclosure with a second pair of pachyderms，Patty and Maxine.Their new environment was a little closer to the wild one，in which elephants

32、 form large families.But Patty and Maxine charged at Grumpy，injuring her.Unable to walk and with suppurating wounds，Grumpy was euthanised.Happy was then paired with a younger female elephant，Sammy.She died of kidney failure in 2006.But meanwhile Happy had become a scientific celebrity.In 2005 she be

33、came the first elephant to pass the “mirror self-recognition test”，an indicator of self-consciousness.Scientists painted a white cross over her left eye，and led her to a large mirror.Happy repeatedly touched the marking with her trunk，showing that she recognized herself.Most animals (and human infan

34、ts) cannot do this.Now Happy is stretching the limits of peoples understanding of animals once again.On December 14th a court in New York state heard a request to grant her a writ of habeas corpus.Steven Wise，a lawyer，argued that，as an intelligent，self-aware being，Happy is entitled to the full prote

35、ction of the law.Habeas corpus，an ancient common-law principle，guards against arbitrary imprisonment.So far，all applications for habeas corpus relief for animals have been turned down in American and European courts.However，in a case in May 2018 involving Tommy，a chimpanzee，one of the judges said he

36、 thought the main argument for denying habeas corpus to chimps was wrong.This is that they lack the capacity to carry out legal duties or be held accountable for their actions.As the judge pointed out，“The same is true for human infants and comatose human adults，yet no one would suppose it is improp

37、er to seek a writ of habeas corpus on behalf of ones infant child.” Happys case is likely to drag on for a while.When it is resolved，it could fundamentally alter the way some animalsespecially great apesare treated in law.Over the past few decades，the science of animal cognition has changed peoples

38、understanding of other species.In several，researchers have discovered emotions，intelligence and behaviour once thought to belong exclusively to humans.Recently，animal advocates have tried to push existing welfare laws into new areas.In Iowa，the Animal Legal Defence Fund sued a private zoo for infrin

39、ging the Endangered Species Act，which protects wild animals.It won，and the US Department of Agriculture revoked the zoos license.The same organization，arguing that Oregon law permits victims of violence to sue for redress，filed suit for damages on behalf of an eight-year-old racehorse，Justice，who ha

40、d been found severely frostbitten and malnourished and whose owner had been convicted of neglect.58.The fact that Happy repeatedly touched the marking with her trunk showed that .A.she was cleverer than other animalsB.she was aware of herselfC.she was curious about new thingsD.she liked to look at h

41、erself in the mirror59.Steven Wise held the opinion that .A.Happy should be protectedB.Happy should be kept in a zooC.Happy should be put into prisonD.Happy should be denied of her rights60.The underlined word “revoke” in the last paragraph probably means “ ”.A.issue B.renewC.obtain D.cancelCThe wor

42、ld is producing ever more rubbish.Households and businesses took out 2bn tonnes of trash in 2016，the equivalent of 740g each day for every person on the planet.The World Bank predicts the annual pile could grow by 70% by 2050，as the developing world gets richer.Such waste is not simply unsightly，it

43、also threatens public health.Diarrhoea(腹泻)，respiratory(呼吸的) infections and neurological conditions are more common in areas where waste is not regularly collected.And even where it is，it can cause environmental problems.Greenhouse gases from the waste industry，principally in the form of methane(甲烷)

44、from older landfill sites，could account for as much as a tenth of the global total by 2025.The case for taking action is clear.But what kind of action depends on where you are.Poorer countries often lack good waste infrastructure.Rubbish piles up on open dumps(垃圾堆)，if not in the street.In July，for e

45、xample，Indias Supreme Court warned that Delhi is buried under “mountain-loads of garbage”.Such places must invest enough to get the basics right.One study found that burning，dumping or discharging rubbish into waterways costs south Asian economies $375 per tonne in pollution and disease.Basic dispos

46、al systems would cost only $50100 per tonne.Moroccos government assumes the $300m it has recently invested in sanitary landfills has already averted $440m in damage.Such spending makes sense even when budgets are tight.The rich world has a different problem.It is good at collection.But at the start

47、of 2018，China，until then the destination for many of the worlds recyclable material，stopped importing most waste plastic and paper，and severely curtailed imports of cardboard.Rich countries must recycle more，dispose of more waste at home or no longer produce as much.For environmentalists the prefere

48、nce for recycling is obvious.Some even want economies to become “circular”ie，to reuse or recycle everything.But anyone arguing that reducing physical waste is a moral imperative(紧急的事情) needs to consider recyclings hidden costs.Somebody must pick out，clean，transport and process junk.When the time and

49、 effort obviously pay off，the economy is already naturally circular.Three quarters of all aluminium ever smelted remains in use，and there is a thriving market for used aluminium cans.But for other materials，recycling just isnt worth it.That is partly because chucking(扔掉) stuff out is artificially(人工

50、地) cheap.Were landfill and incineration(焚烧) priced to reflect their environmental and social costs，people would throw their rubbish in the river or dump it by the road instead.Rules to discourage waste should therefore focus on producers rather than households.The principle of taxing pollution shoul

51、d be extended to cover makers of things that will need disposing of.A good example is the requirement，pioneered in Europe，for firms to finance the collection and recycling of electronic waste.61.The example of Indias Supreme Courts warning in Para.3 is used to show .A.Delhi is buried under garbageB.

52、there are many open dumps in IndiaC.basic disposal system is expensiveD.India is poor and lacks infrastructure62.What happened at the start of 2018?A.Rich countries began to recycle more.B.China stopped importing more waste materials.C.Rich countries stopped producing more waste materials.D.China be

53、came the destination of recyclable materials.63.What attitude does the environmentalist hold towards recycling according to the passage?A.Objective. B.Indifferent.C.Supportive. D.Opposed.64.How should the world deal with the hidden costs of recycling?A.Producers should take more responsibility.B.Gov

54、ernments should finance firms for recycling.C.Poor countries must invest more on infrastructures.D.Rich countries should waste less and recycle more.DTo learn to think is to learn to question.Those who dont question never truly think for themselves.These are simple rules that have governed the advan

55、cement of science and human thought since the beginning of time.Advancements are made when thinkers question theories and introduce new ones.Unfortunately，it is often the great and respected thinkers who end up slowing the progress of human thought.Aristotle was a brilliant philosopher whose theorie

56、s explained much of the natural world，often incorrectly.He was so esteemed by the scientific community that even 1,200 years after his death，scientists were still trying to build upon his mistakes rather than correct them!Brilliant minds can intimidate up-and-coming thinkers who are not confident of

57、 their abilities.They often believe they are inferior to the minds of giants such as Aristotle，leading many to accept current paradigms instead of questioning them.I，like many thinkers of the past，once believed in my mental inferiority.I was certain that my parents，my teachersadults in generalwere a

58、lways right.They were like a textbook to me; I didnt question what was written on those pages.I respected them，and accepted whatever they told me.But that attitude soon changed.My minds independence was first stimulated in the classroom.A stern,65-year-old elementary-school science teacher once told

59、 me that light is a type of wave.I confidently went through years of school believing that light is a wave.One day，however I heard the German exchange student mention that light could be made up of particles.As the others laughed at his statement，I started to question my beliefs.Maybe the teachers a

60、nd textbooks hadnt given me the whole story.I went to the library，did some research and learned of the light-as-a-wave versus light-as-a-particle debate.I read about Einsteins discovery of the dual nature of light and learned the facts of a paradox(悖论) that puzzles the worlds greatest thinkers to th

61、is day.Light behaves as both a particle and a wave，it is both at once.I realized I had gone through life accepting only half of the story as the whole truth.Each new year brought more new facts，and I formulated even more questions.I found myself in the library after school，trying to find my own answ

62、ers to gain a more complete understanding of what I thought I already knew.I discovered that my parents and teachers are incredible tools in my quest for knowledge，but they are never the final word.Even textbooks can be challenged.I learned to question my sources，I learned to be a thinker.I once bel

63、ieved that everything I learned at home and at school was certain，but I have now discovered to reexamine when necessary.Questions are said to be the path to knowledge and truth，and I plan to continue questioning.How many things do we know for sure today that we will question in the future? At this m

64、oment，I know that our sun will burn for another five billion years，and I know nothing can escape the gravity of a black hole.This knowledge，however，may change in the next 20 yearsmaybe even in the next two.The one thing we can control now is our openness to discovery.Questions are the tools of open

65、minds，and open minds are the key to intellectual advancement.65.In the first paragraph，Aristotle is taken as an example to show that .A.he is the greatest and respected philosopher of all timeB.huge influence of great thinkers may block human thoughtC.advancements are made when thinkers question the

66、oriesD.great thinkers often make mistakes and then correct them66.What does the underlined word “intimidate” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Frighten. B.Encourage.C.Strengthen. D.Persuade.67.The author began to question his previous beliefs because .A.what he learned from textbooks before turned out to be wro

67、ngB.he was inspired by the different ideas from an exchange studentC.he was laughed at by other students for his unacceptable statementD.he was not satisfied with his life and desperate to achieve success68.According to the passage，the author .A.looks down upon great thinkers all the timeB.never dou

68、bts what he has learned in the textbookC.always throws himself into the laboratoryD.determines to be a thinker and questioner69.We can conclude from the last paragraph that .A.the author is not quite sure about his futureB.we human beings dont dare to predict futureC.questioning is necessary to prom

69、ote advancementD.the theory of black holes will change in two years70.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Following rules. B.Challenging yourself.C.Questioning giants.

70、t few decades，peopleespecially young people，have become aware of the need to change their eating habits，because much of the food they eat，especially processed food，is not good for the health.Consequently，there has been a growing interest in natural foods：foods which do not contain chemical additives

71、 and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers，widely used in farming today.Natural foods，for example，are vegetables，fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter.In simple terms，this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter，which pr

75、uch as honey，can be used to sweeten food if it is necessary，we can in fact do without it.It is not that sugar is harmful in itself.But it does seem to be addictive：the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a
