21、A new report says plastics are responsible for $13 billion in damage to the oceans and the undersea environment. The findings were announced recently at a United Nations conference.   【1】

Plastic thrown away carelessly makes its way into rivers and other waterways. The plastic eventually reaches coastal areas and ocean waters. After a while, it collects in the sea. And plastic never goes away. Plastic is not biodegradable — destroyed by bacteria or natural processes. Instead, it just breaks up into smaller pieces over time. The oceans contain a lot of chemicals and other pollutants. 【2】 . That means harmful materials may get into our food supply.

【3】 . Human beings cause pollution and they can take steps to stop it. They can use fewer single use product containers and throw plastics away correctly. Plastic recycling programs also works — where old bottles and other plastics are collected, broken down and used to make new products. We could reuse bottles in our households many times if we wish to, rather than end it after the first use. We could, when we get rid of that plastic, recycle and reuse it, which replaces the need for raw materials.

The report also calls on companies to improve methods for using plastics. 【4】And it calls for information about the way plastic is thrown out or removed from use. By putting a new value on plastic, industry has a special reason to clean up the environment. But all of the companies must join to deal with the problem.

A．But people can make a big difference.

B．Plastics should be gathered together and reused.

C．Then, fish may eat the plastics.

D．It is convenient to use plastic bags in everyday life.

E．It asks for them to better measure and direct plastic use.

F．The report tells about harm to sea life and what might be done to improve the situation.

22、   Global health experts say that each year some of the 1.5 million people die from vaccine-preventable diseases due to gaping holes in medical record-keeping, especially in developing countries where resources to properly document immunizations（免疫接种）may be lacking．

To solve that problem, researchers headed by a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Techmology（MIT）have invented a way to deliver vaccines（疫苗）through a microneedle patch（贴片）that is buried in the skin．It's a record that can't be seen, written in quantum dots（量子点）that contain vaccination history and give off light only readable by a specially equipped smartphone．The scientists say it doesn't require any link to a database and it doesn't tie into any personal information．

For now, the patch can only contain a handful of simple shapes．But adding more microneedles could make the designs more complex, potentially conveying information about a vaccination's date, dosage and more．From there, reading the dots becomes a lot like scanning a QR code（二维码）．These designs could be scanned and interpreted by smartphones, and someday allow health providers to access patients' past vaccinations without chaos of external records．

The next step, before trials in people, is to test its practicability among experts in the field．The researchers now plan to work with health care workers in developing nations in Africa to get input on the best way to carry out this type of vaccination record-keeping．

"Ultimately, we believe that this invisible 'on-body' technology opens up new possibilities for data storage and biosensing applications that could influence the way medical care is provided, especially in the developing world," the researchers conclude．

【1】What do the underlined words "that problem" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.Few medical resources．

B.Wrong ways to deliver vaccines．

C.Lack of vaccination record-keeping．

D.No vaccinations required in developing countries．

【2】What can we learn about quantum dots?

A.They keep a record of the vaccination．

B.They need to be connected to a database．

C.They give away one's personal information．

D.They can read light produced by smartphones．

【3】How will health providers access patients' past vaccinations?

A.By reading the QR code． B.By scanning the design．

C.By interpreting external records． D.By increasing microneedles．

【4】What do the researchers expect of the new technology?

A.It will be cost-saving． B.It will hit the market soon．

C.It may ensure the accuracy of data． D.It may bring changes to medical care．

23、Urbanization refers to the migration of the population from rural regions to cities.【1】Therefore, migration isn’t a new phenomenon. And as the cities harvest most of the benefits of science and technology urbanization continues to take place. As a result, the cities and its suburbs extend to the rural as along their boundaries 【2】

Urban expansion is linked to a number of factors. Lower housing costs in the suburb have attracted many to settle in these areas. There has been an increasing investment of infrastructure like transport and electricity in the suburbs.【3】 The increase in family income of an average person has raised his standard of living. Driving private cars from the suburb to the city is affordable for many people.

On the other hand, expansion is featured by smaller populations, less traffic jams and noise pollution.【4】 People are willing to live in expansion where they find life quieter and more peaceful than in cities.

【5】 Some view expansion as a venue where, public money, is being spent on excessive (过度的) infrastructure outside the urban areas. People living in urban expansion go to cities in their cars. This has resulted in heavier traffic on the toads, leading to traffic jams, an increase in the levels of air pollution and car accidents.

A．This brings convenience to life.

B．This spread is named as urban expansion.

C．Expansion has been criticized for some problems.

D．Therefore, these areas have increased in number quickly.

E．Overall, urban expansion is a phenomenon that can be avoided.

F．Despite anti-expansion views, urban expansion has its own benefits.

G．Man has always moved to newer places for better opportunities and pay.

24、Reading is the key to success. Apparently every successful person develops a passion for reading. This is because reading is a key element to obtain the information required to understand something. For instance, lawyers have to study and learn every established law on their specific branches. Sometimes the law changes according to people’s needs. A good lawyer has to be informed about the latest news in the court. A doctor has to be informed of the latest advances in medicine.

Reading is very important for all mankind. Everything is relative in this world, especially reading. Reading can open any doors and it can lead you into a path of success. Studies have confirmed that reading to your unborn child is very good. This way your child will develop a passion for reading.

How do you develop a passion for reading? There is only one way you can boost your passion for reading. Let me explain this to you. If you want to learn how to ride a bike, you have to get on the bike as many times as possible until you have learned. It works the same way with reading. If you want to boost your reading, take a book and read it all the way through. When you finish reading your first book, take another book and do the same. Try to read as much as you can. If you are going out, grab a magazine, a book, an article or something to read.

There is a very important factor behind the reading—reading comprehension. It’s what makes you understand the meaning behind the text. Let’s assume that you read a document and you are supposed to explain the meaning of the document. How would you explain the document if you couldn’t capture the message of the author?

【1】The first two paragraphs mainly talk about   .

A. the key to success

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When I was in seventh grade, my parents paid forty dollars a week for a tutor to come to my house and help me with math, which ended up raising my mark from fifty to fifty-five. OK, maybe it was partly my fault. Maybe I should have spent less time worrying about that important geography assignment and more time on math. But math is a tricky thing. And sitting down in a chair to work on confusing algebraic equations(代数方程) for two hours is a slow and painful process. Besides, people around tend to ask. “How’s your math this time?”

So I became afraid of anything to do with numbers. The thought of a teacher picking on me in class was terrifying. The red marking was like a component in a horror movie. It only got worse in ninth grade. Every report card I ever received was delivered with the comment: “Victoria needs to ask for assistance in class.” But I couldn’t tell my teachers the real reason why I didn’t ask for help: I didn’t want to be a fool. Every question I had was, in my opinion at the time, something that the entire class could understand but I couldn’t. So instead, I adopted the mindset of not caring about anything and concluding that everything would work out in the end.

It didn’t. After spending a semester not caring about homework and not trying on tests, still afraid of math and convinced that I would never succeed, my math teacher called one summer morning to tell me I would spend the next three weeks at school redoing the entire course so I could pass.

This news was met with sudden tears, and a loud “this can’t be happening to me!” That’s when it hit me. Why was I scared of a bunch of numbers, anyway? Why did I barely study for tests because I had convinced myself I would never do well? Who was this unconfident student and what happened to that determined and confident teenager I had once been?

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

I finally realized that I had let math take over my life.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

So I was off to three weeks of summer school, three hours of math each day.
