21、   It should be one of the main goals in today's society to reduce plastic consumption. Though many believe recycling will solve the problem, and continue using plastic, it's actually the opposite. In 2013, 254 million tonnes of trash was produced in the U.S. alone, and only around 30% was recycled. This means the rest ended up in a landfill and will stay there for up to 1000 years.

Now Asian countries, including Vietnam and Thailand, are looking for new ideas to avoid plastic. One of those ideas was a new, eco-friendly way to pack their goods by avoiding plastic packaging. One of Perfect Homes Chiangmai's team members noticed a creative way to reduce plastic that a supermarket called Rimping Supermarket was using. Little did he know that people all around the world would absolutely love this idea. “I just popped in to get a few items while we were waiting to sign some contracts with our lawyer, who was delayed. When I noticed the vegetables wrapped in banana leaves and simply liked the idea. So I took a few pictures and posted them online, he said.

With more than 3.5 million views and over 17 thousand shares, the idea became something people can encourage more supermarkets to implement (实施).

Some have noticed that not everything on the shelves is completely plastic-free to which the supermarket responded that they are taking one step at a time, but it's not that easy. Many products come to the supermarkets pre-packaged and many companies are interested in wrapping their produce in plastic since it is the cheapest and the easiest option.

It's now up to the shoppers to show the supermarket which they prefer. If everyone opts for the banana leaf packaging, they will probably stop stocking the items in plastic.

【1】What can we infer about recycling from Para. 1?

A．The author thinks highly of recycling.

B．The US did a great job in recycling in 2013.

C．Recycling has failed to solve the plastic problem.

D．Recycling helps a lot in reducing plastic consumption.

【2】Why did the man go to Rimping Supermarket?

A．To purchase some items.

B．To look for new ideas there.

C．To take photos of their shelves.

D．To sign a contract with a lawyer.

【3】Which might be one of the influential factors in encouraging leaf packaging?

A．The Internet.

B．The companies’ interest.

C．The contract.

D．The plastic-free shelves.

【4】According to the passage, we can learn that ________.

A．people tend to prefer farm produce wrapped in plastic

B．promoting leaf packaging requires people’s joint effort

C．China used to export part of its waste to other Countries

D．it's easy for supermarkets to change the way of packaging

22、If we jump in the air as high as possible, we can stay off the ground for about half a second. Michael Jordan could stay airborne for almost one second while ski jumpers are able to do that for five to seven seconds as they travel about the length of a football field through the air. So how do they do this?

Three major concepts from physics are at play in the ski jump: gravity, lift and drag. Gravity pulls any object in flight down toward the ground and there is nothing athletes can do to lessen its effect. But athletes also interact with the air as they move. It is this interaction that can produce lift, an upwards force produced by air pushing on an object. If the force produced from lift roughly balances the force of gravity, the object can fly. The same interaction also produces drag. It resists the forward motion of any object and slows it down.

In the ski jump, jumpers start high up on a slope and then ski   downhill to generate speed. Just before they reach the end of the slope, they jump. Once jumpers are in the air, the fun physics begins. They use careful body positioning to maximize lift while / minimizing drag. To do this, they adjust their skis and body nearly parallel to the ground and place their skis in a V-shape just outside the form of the body. This position increases the surface area that generates lift and puts them in the ideal angle of attack that will also maximize lift. As drag reduces the speed of the jumpers, lift decreases and gravity continues to pull on them. They will begin to fall faster and faster until they land.

As you tune into the Olympics to wonder at the physical power of the athletes, take a moment to consider also their mastery of the concepts of physics.

【1】What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Staying longer in the air.

B．Traveling forward slower.

C．Falling down the hill faster.

D．Jumping higher than average.

【2】How can ski jumpers fly in the air according to Paragraph 2?

A．They make use of the interaction with air.

B．They get more forces of gravity than lift.

C．They keep a good balance while skiing.

D．They get rid of the effect of gravity.

【3】What does Paragraph 3 mainly discuss about the ski jump?

A．Its training equipment.

B．Its safety guidelines.

C．Its major concepts.

D．Its basic routine.

【4】What may be the best title for the text?

A．Ski jumpers flying in the sky

B．Falling or flying is your choice

C．Physics： as difficult as imagined

D．Ski jump booming in the Olympics

23、The International Baccalaureate (IB) Program is an internationally recognized qualification for entry into higher education. Usually, 16- to 19-year-olds take it during the last two years of high school. High-achieving high school students who want an international perspective in a variety of subjects should consider this program.

The IB Program includes three required courses. The first, Theory of Knowledge, discusses where knowledge comes from and how to analyze information. The second required course, Extended Essay, involves researching a subject of the student’s choice and writing a 4,000-word essay on it. The third requirement, called Creativity, Activity, Service, requires 50 hours of work outside of class in each of the three areas. Creativity includes theater, music and art. Activity refers to sports, and service means volunteering.

The program includes classes in six other subject areas as well: language and literature, language acquisition, individuals and societies, sciences, mathematics and the arts. Students are expected to take one class from each subject area. However, they can choose an additional course from one of the other areas as a substitution for the arts requirement.

The IB Program introduces students to a wide range of courses. This can give students a leg up in university applications because it shows they can learn about many different subjects. On the other hand, the variety of subjects means that students can only take one or two classes in any one area. Therefore, students who want to specialize in fields such as medicine or engineering may as well take more classes in a single subject area. IB may not be a good fit for these students.

The IB Program is time-consuming and intellectually challenging. Not all students will desire or feel equipped to put in the work. For those who pursue it, however, the IB Program offers a wide-ranging education focused on developing skills students will need in life.

【1】Who is recommended to participate in the IB Program?

A．Students pursuing engineering.

B．Students wanting to serve others.

C．Students hunting for an occupation.

D．Students interested in various fields.

【2】What can we know about the course arrangement of IB Program?

A．It demands students should be good at a particular sport.

B．It allows students to select another course to replace arts.

C．It advises students should graduate from high school first.

D．It requires students to choose one course in each subject area.

【3】What does the phrase “a leg up” probably mean in paragraph 4?

A．An advantage.

B．A certificate.

C．A fast speed.

D．A suggestion.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Applications for IB Program.

B．Required courses in IB Program.

C．An introduction of IB Program.

D．Suitable participants for IB Program.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

This is a story about a book that just kept selling, catching publishers, booksellers and even its author off guard. The book is Sapiens, by the Israeli academic Yuval Noah Harari, published in the UK in September 2014.It is a recondite(深奥的) work of evolutionary history charting the development of humankind through a scholarly examination of our ability to cooperate as a species.

Sapiens sold well on publication, particularly when it came out in paperback in the summer of 2015.What is remarkable about it, though, is that it's still selling in vast numbers. Sapiens has sold a further half million copies, establishing itself firmly at the top of the bestseller lists. The book's wild success is symptomatic of a broader trend in our book-buying habits: a surge in the popularity of intelligent, challenging nonfiction, often books that are several years old.

It was trade publication, the Booksellers, that first noted the rise of what is called the “brainy backlist”, it also highlighted a concomitant fall in the sales of the books that had been such a staple of publishers' catalogues-celebrity biographies. We are turning away from exciting but disposable stories of fame towards more serious, thoughtful, quiet books that help us understand our place in the world. Mark Richards, publisher at John Murray Prese, see the return to serious works of nonfiction as a response to the spirit of the age, “People have a hunger both for information and facts, and for nuanced(有细微差别的) exploration of issues, of a sort that books are in a prime position to provide.” he says.

In the end, the story of Sapiens is about a book becoming part of a national conversation. At a time when politics is more furious and fragmented than ever, when technology is colonizing our everyday existence.
