21、With eco-tourism on the rise, eco-hotels are fast becoming the darling of the travel industry. These days, however, staying at an eco-hotel doesn’t necessarily mean vacationing in a tree house in the Costa Rican jungle, although that is certainly a choice.

The majority of eco-hotels fall into one of several categories: hotels and resorts that conserve ecologically important habitats; “green” hotels that reduce, recycle, minimize waste, and protect water; sustainable hotels that harvest food from gardens on the hotel property or get part or all of their power from renewable energy; hotels that encourage community involvement such as guests taking part in trail clearing; and hotels that offer some form of environmental education to their guests.

As such, eco-hotels are a various group. Stylish urban hotels like the Willard Inter-Continental Washington focus on energy conservation whereas the Rosario Resort & Spa on Orcas Island in Washington State offers a wildly popular “green” vacation package where guests can “take a hike, clear a trail”.

No matter what you call them, eco-hotel, eco-lodge, eco-resort, or green hotel, they’re all part of the “greening” of the tourism industry.

Part of what drives this greening of the hotel industry is no doubt competition. Going green is yet another way to distinguish a hotel from the mass of other excellent hotels that consumers have to choose from. But for many hotels, it’s also part of their philosophy. With the concept of “going green” firmly rooted in consumers’ minds, eco-hotels have taken it to the next level, and whether or not money is the driving factor behind the greening of the hotel industry doesn’t matter so much as it’s good for the planet.

【1】The underlined part in the first paragraph means ________.

A．lovers like staying at an eco-hotel when traveling

B．eco-hotels are very popular in the travel industry

C．eco-hotels are where young people love to live

D．romantic love stories often happen in eco-hotels

A．protects important habitats

B．harvests food from its own garden.

C．has courses on the environment for its guests

D．encourages its guests to participate in its greening activities

【4】From the last paragraph, we can learn that ________.

A．money is part of the driving force behind eco-hotels

B．eco-hotels have no advantages in competing for guests

C．eco-hotels teach their guests the philosophy of eco-hotels

D．the hotel industry cares more about money than the environment

B．have environmental awareness

C．want to live comfortably

22、   If you live in Shanghai, you might have to take a "lesson" in sorting garbage, as the city recently introduced new garbage-sorting regulations. It’s now required that people should sort garbage into four categories, namely recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. However, if people fail to sort their garbage properly, they can be fined up to 200 yuan. More cities are introducing similar regulations, following the practice in Shanghai. By the end of 2020, garbage-sorting systems will have been built in 46 major Chinese cities, including Beijing and Shenzhen, reported People’s Daily.

According to a study by the Policy Research Center for Environment and Economy, under the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, over 90 percent of the public believe that garbage sorting is important for the protection of the environment. However, garbage sorting is still a big problem in China. Only 30 percent of participants said they think they are adequately sorting their trash, the study noted.

According to Xinhua News Agency, it’s partly because many people lack the willingness to sort their own waste. In the past, some previous garbage regulations didn’t give clear fines for people who failed to sort garbage. "It’s a must to have a legal guarantee to promote garbage sorting." Liu Jianguo, a professor from Tsinghua University, told China Daily. He also added "the importance of the new regulations in Shanghai is to change the past voluntary action into compulsory action for everyone"

Aside from China, many other foreign countries have also introduced garbage-sorting regulations. In Japan, waste sorting has become a basic survival skill, reported Xinhua. There is a fixed time for disposal of each kind of garbage and littering can result in high fines and even jail time. In Germany too, people are asked to sort waste into specific categories, reported HuffPost. For example, in Berlin, people have yellow bins for plastic and metals and blue bins for paper and cardboard.

【1】What can we learn from paragraph 1?

A.Poisonous waste belongs to four categories in sorting.

B.People will be fined not less than 200 yuan.

C.All the cities use the same regulations as Shanghai.

D.Shanghai works as a pioneer in garbage sorting.

【2】Which statement is true according to the passage?

A.Garbage-sorting system have been built in 46 major cities.

B.Not all the public attach importance to garbage sorting.

C.People aren’t fined clearly if they fail to sort garbage now.

D.People may be put in prison because of littering in Germany.

【3】What can be inferred from Liu Jianguo’s words?

A.He thinks highly of the legal regulations in garbage sorting.

B.The sorting action should be changed from compulsory to voluntary.

C.Legal guarantee is a must to promote garbage sorting.

D.There is a growing concern over garbage sorting worldwide.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.Shanghai Puts Garbage-sorting Into Practice

B.Regulations Are of Great Importance

C.Garbage Is Hard to Recycle Appropriately

D.Cities Get Serious About Waste

23、Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.

The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly." It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed," he adds.

Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors to power the vehicle.

The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.

In New Zealand, Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to

1, 000meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.

Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack "is built around safety from the start". In his words, “Reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car.

The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute that would be used, if there should be an emergency. "It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot," he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.

【1】We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike

A. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quickly.

B. can fly for over 30 minutes, up to l, 000 meters high.

C. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teams.

D. can be transported quickly after being folded and packed.

【2】Peter Coker uses the example of Formula One racing car to show that

A. the Jetpack is very safe and reliable.

B. the engine of the Jetpack is powerful.

C. the actual structure of the Jetpack is unique

D. the Jetpack can reach a great speed and height

【3】The underlined word "It" in the last paragraph refers to   .

A. the jet stream   B. the engine

C. the Jetpack.   D. the parachute

【4】What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?

A. To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles.

B. To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles.

C. To show the differences between two flying vehicles.

D. To advertise the two personal flying vehicles.

24、Silly Mistakes Hit the Headlines

We have probably all had moments when we said the wrong thing. I certainly have. There was the time at university when I met a friend in a coffee bar after class and immediately started complaining about our tutor, who was called Dr Gray. I was going on and on about how miserable she was一strict, boring, unfriendly—and my friend wasn’t really saying much. After a minute or so, she interrupted me and said, “Um, I think I should introduce you”. She then turned to this other student who I hadn’t really noticed up till then and said, ”This is Tracy. Tracy Gray’!

Fortunately, the result of putting my foot in it was only an awkward moment and a stony silence. Maybe my friends thought a little less of me, maybe they thought I was an idiot, but no real harm was done. 【1】

Take Gerald Ratner. He was the multimillionaire owner of a chain of shops that sold cheap jewellery. In what was supposed to be a light-hearted speech to some fellow businessmen, he joked about the quality of some of his products. He said some earrings were ‘cheaper than a sandwich, but probably wouldn’t last as long’. Other products could be sold at such low prices because they were rubbish. 【2】 Ratner had to resign as director and shortly afterwards the company was taken over by a competitor.

In some ways, Ratner could be seen as unfortunate in that he was in a semi-private meeting with friends and colleagues he was at ease with, but there happened to be a journalist there. 【3】 And with the rise of social media, there have been plenty of others who have been caught out by the increasingly vague boundaries between our private and public faces. For example, a group of flight attendants made jokes about the engines on their planes failing and complained about their airline and clients (客户).【4】 Unfortunately, they did it publicly on Facebook and it led to thirteen of them being fired.

A．Unsurprisingly, when his customers heard about the jokes they didn’t see the funny side and the share price of the company crashed.

B．All I can say is that it’s the same with the famous!

C．The same is not true for everyone, particularly if you are famous.

D．What makes things worse for the famous is that these mistakes become even more widely publicised because of 24-hour news channels and websites.

E．This is the kind of thing many people might do privately when they get together with colleagues after work.

F．As a result, what was private suddenly became public.

25、Cruz Genet, 11, and Anthony Skop-ick, 10, couldn’t agree. Were the birds out on the ice ducks or geese? So on a _______January evening last year,the two friends ventured onto the _______ pond near their homes, to get a better look. First they tossed a rock onto the ice to _______ it. Then they stepped on it._______the ice would hold their weight,Anthony took a few steps,then...FOOMP. He crashed through the_______frozen surface.“There was no sound, no crack,” he recalled.“I just fell through instantly.“Cruz_______to help his panicked friend. FOOMP-he_______into the pond too.

The boys were up to their necks in icy water and quickly losing feeling in their limbs. Any chance of their_______themselves was slipping away. Cruz was sure he was going to die. Anthony’s older sister had seen the boys fall through the ice and started screaming for help.

John Lavin, a _______driving nearby on his way to the grocery store, heard her. He quickly ________.Seeing the boys, he grabbed a nearby buoy(救生圈), ________off his shoes, and ran into the slushy(融雪的)water, chopping his way through the ice with his free________.

Lavin made his way to Cruz and Anthony and hauled(拉)them back to land.They were taken to the hospital,where doctors discovered that their five-minute________in the water had lowered their body________nearly ten degrees.

26、阅读下列短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

His father said, “All set, boy?” and Johnson nodded, picking up his gun with awkward gloved bands. His father pushed open the door and they went out into the freezing dawn together. Ordinarily Johnson would take out his camera to record the scenery, but not this morning. This was the morning, particularly sacred, when 14-year-old Johnson would go duck hunting for the first time.

However, he hated it, and had bated the whole idea since his father bought him a gun. But he was determined to go through with it. He loved his father, and wanted his approval more than anything in the world

They came to a narrow and hidden place facing the bay. Johnson sat down nervously and waited. To reduce fear be took 8 picture of his father against the clean water. Then be put the camera hurriedly on the grass and picked up his gun.

Johnson got his gun ready. “I'll let you shoot first,” his father said, loading his own gun. “You know, I've been waiting for a long time for this day. Just the two of us...” He broke off, bending forward, eyes narrowed. “There's a small flight heading this way now. Keep your head down. I'll give you the word.”

The sun came out. Johnson could see everything clearly: his father's face, tense and eager, the white frost on the gun. His heart was beating wildly. He prayed, “Don't let them come, please!”

But they kept coming. “Four black,” his father said. “One mallard (绿头鸭).” High above, Johnson heard the pulsing whistle of wings as the fight began to circle. The mallard was leading, his feet dropping down, reaching for the silver-colored water. Closer, clos... “Get set,” his father whispered,

“Now!” cried Johnson's father. “Take them!”

Johnson felt his body obey. He stood up, holding the gun. In the same instant, the wild ducks saw the gunners and flew. “Shoot!” said something sharply in Johnson's brain. But up went the mallard higher still, until suddenly it caught the full force of the wind and flew away, out of range.
