21、A recent study published in the journal Science Advances has revealed that the United States ranks as high as third among countries contributing to coastal plastic pollution. The new research challenges the once-held assumption that the US is adequately “managing” its plastic waste. A previous study using 2010 data that did not account for plastic waste exports had ranked the US 20th, globally, in its contribution to ocean plastic pollution.

Using plastic waste generation (产生) data from 2016 — the latest available global numbers — scientists calculated that more than half of all plastics collected for recycling (1.99 million tons of 3.91 million tons collected) in the US were shipped abroad. Of this, 88% of exports went to countries struggling to effectively manage plastics; and between 15-25% was low-value or contaminated (受污染的). It means it was unrecyclable. Taking these factors into account, the researchers estimated that up to 1 million tons of US-generated plastic waste ended up polluting the environment beyond its own borders.

Using 2016 data, the paper also estimated that between 0.91 and 1.25 million tons of plastic waste generated in the US was either littered or illegally dumped into the environment domestically. Combined with waste exports, this means the US contributed up to 2.25 million tons of plastics into the environment. Of this, up to 1.5 million tons of plastics ended up in coastal environments. This ranks the US as high as third globally in contributing to coastal plastic pollution.

“The US generates the most plastic waste of any other country in the world, but rather than looking the problem in the eye, we have outsourced it to developing countries,” said Nick Mallos, senior director of Ocean Conservancy’s Trash Free Seas program and a co-author of the study. “The solution has to start at home. We need to create less, by cutting out unnecessary single-use plastics; we need to create better, by developing innovative new ways to package and deliver goods; and where plastics are inevitable, we need to greatly improve our recycling rates.”

“Previous research has provided global values for plastic input into the environment and coastal areas, but detailed analyses like this one are important for individual countries to further assess their contributions,” said Dr. Jenna Jambeck, Distinguished Professor at the University of Georgia’s College of Engineering and a co-author of the study. “In the case of the United States, it is critically important that we examine our own backyard and take responsibility for our global plastic footprint.”

【1】Compared with the previous study, the new one ________.

A．covers data more comprehensively

B．excludes plastic waste shipped abroad

C．is contrary to the latest global numbers

D．challenges the recycling way of plastics

【2】According to 2016 data, what can be learned about the plastic waste generated in the US?

A．Over half of it ended up polluting the environment outside the US.

B．Most of its exported plastic waste wasn’t worth recycling.

C．Less than half of it was actually recycled domestically.

D．More of it is littered or illegally dumped than exported.

【3】It is implied by Nick Mallos that ________.

A．plastic pollution in developing countries is more serious

B．US has been irresponsible in dealing with its plastic waste

C．US should cooperate with others to handle its plastic waste

D．innovative means are needed to eliminate single-use plastics

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A．Plastic Pollution Great Risk to Marine Life

B．US Top Contributor to Coastal Plastic Pollution

C．Plastic Waste Major Source of Coastal Pollution

D．Recycling Effective Way to Address Plastic Waste

22、Wisconsin has long been home to incredibly successful research and innovation thanks to our famous academic research institutions and some of the brightest scientific minds. From discovering how Vitamin D can best be absorbed, to unlocking the potential of stem cells, Wisconsin has pioneered remarkable breakthroughs in science that have improved health, saved lives and created jobs. These scientific breakthroughs have not only led to life-saving medical technologies but also have fostered (培育) a strong power in Wisconsin economy.

Across America, groundbreaking research supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) alone adds millions of dollars to our economy every year. In fact, NIH funding generated an estimated $58 billion in economic output nationwide in 2014. NIH funding spurs economic growth by supporting jobs in research and by generating biomedical innovations that are turned into new products. NIH-supported innovations also influence improvements in health that can bolster the economy, improve productivity, and reduce illness and disability at home and across the globe. But, budget cuts and inadequate funding for NIH in the past decade have put both medical innovation and our next generation of researchers at risk.

Today, too many of our talented young scientists are deciding to do something else, or are leaving the country to pursue their research. Simply put, scientific and medical innovation depends on our ability to foster, support and invest in these new researchers.

That is why I have worked across party lines with Senator Susan Collins of Maine and introduced the Next Generation (NextGen) Researchers Act. Our act builds opportunities for new researchers, helps address the debt burden that young scientists face today, and invests in the future of research, science, and innovation. This commonsense proposal would create the “Next Generation Researchers Initiative” within the NIH Office of the Director to coordinate (协调) all current and new NIH policies. The legislation (立法) also directs the NIH to consider recommendations from a National Academy of Sciences (NAS) comprehensive study and report on fostering the next generation of researchers.

Finally, we must demonstrate a commitment to our future scientists who, like so many of their peers pursuing other fields, are struggling with crushing student loan debt. Our plan would also increase the amount of loans that can be forgiven through the NIH’s loan repayment programs to better account for the current debt load of new scientists. Higher education should be a path to prosperity, not suffocating debt, and this provision not only helps make higher education more affordable, but can help give new researchers a fair shot at pursuing their dreams.

The NextGen Researchers Act will help to empower our next generation of researchers from Maine to Wisconsin, and across our country, with the resources they need to continue to lead the world in groundbreaking biomedical research and development. I’m proud to have earned the support of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Medical College of Wisconsin, and many others, for my bipartisan work supporting Wisconsin’s leadership in science, research and innovation.

At a time when America’s young researchers are facing the worst funding in decades, our best and brightest minds deserve to know that our country stands with them and is committed to building a stronger future.

【1】Why does the author talk about Wisconsin in the first paragraph?

A. To explain why some brightest scientific minds are rewarded for making contributions.

B. To indicate Wisconsin has made great breakthroughs without the support of NIH.

C. To illustrate that Wisconsin takes a lead in scientific breakthroughs and deserves his support.

D. To distinguish Wisconsin’s achievements in science and innovation from the other states’.

【2】The following are all the ways of NIH promoting America’s economic growth EXCEPT   .

A. supporting research jobs

B. encouraging medical innovations

C. improving health and productivity

D. handling budget cuts

【3】According to the passage, the introduction of the Next Gen Researchers Act is intended to   .

A. sing high praise for the work coordinating all current and new NIH policies

B. support and invest in young researchers involved in medical innovation

C. forgive NIH’s current loan debt to make higher education more affordable

D. consider suggestions from NAS’ comprehensive study and report

【4】What could be the, title of the passage?

A. It’s Time to Strengthen Our Commitment to the Next Generation of Researchers

B. It’s Time to Strengthen Our Biomedical Research and Development

C. It’s Time to Strengthen Our Next Generation Researchers Act of NIH Office

D. It’s Time to Strengthen Our Loan Repayment Programs of NIH

24、   The period 713-756 AD was when the Tang Dynasty reached its top. It was also China’s golden age of poetry. Then it is no surprise the period produced China’s two greatest poets, Du Fu and Li Bai.

Li Bai (701-762) was also called Tai Bai or Qing Lian Ju Shi as his poetic name. He is one of the most well-known and admired poets in China.

A diligent reader in his youth, he was directed by both Confucianism and Taoism(儒教和道教). He started out at 25 to travel in the country. At the age of 42, a friend suggested him to the court(朝廷).He was greatly pleased at first and eager to serve the emperor like an ancient able politician. But the Emperor Xuanzong only had him as a palace poet to write unimportant poems while the emperor and Yang Guifei, his favorite imperial concubine(皇妃), were treating themselves. Unwilling to serve such a meaningless function, Li Bai left the capital in less than two years.

Then Li Bai went on with his aimless wandering all over the country.Unfortunately, he was charged of being a member of the rebel and sentenced to exile(流放),though pardoned on the way.He died of illness at Dangtu in today’s Anhui.

Li Bai is considered as the first romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty (618-907).His political aim was destroyed,so he turned to drinking to hide from his sorrows and writing,which was described as “A hundred poems per glass wine.” His poetry is still very popular and recited by Chinese children today.Here are some of his poems in English.

【1】Li Bai served in the court during _______.

A.713-756 B.701-762 C.743-745 D.618-907

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

In 2000, when I was around seven years old, all my family were coming back from a T-ball game, which was our usual weekend adventure, but unlike every other weekend, a surprise was waiting for us in our driveway – two adult geese and a small goose. Obviously startled by our return, the adults flew away in panic, with their baby, too young to fly, left in place, tiny and delicate.

Hours passed one after another, and night eventually fell. However, with it also came a deep chill and a fear of watchful animals. It was apparent that the gosling needed protection, warmth, and food to make it to the morning, so we had to help it, and we brought him onto our back yard.

We all pretty much slept with one eye open till morning came. And then another morning. And still another. Each morning, we would try to drive the goose away to his parents, who kept coming back to our yard. He wouldn’t go to them, though, and neither would they come close enough to claim him. We kept this up for five days, but no luck. Realizing the young goose had clearly decided we were his family by then, we had to give him a name, calling the little guy Peeper, because he would often follow us around the yard making a peeping (唧唧叫) noise, nonstop. Besides, we decided that Peeper was a boy. I don’t know why; it just felt right.

A year passed and we settled into a routine. Peeper slept on our back yard each night and, in typical goose fashion, used it as a latrine (公共厕所). My dad would spray off all the goose droppings daily. Part of this ceremony included Dad throwing Peeper up into the air so he could flap its wings and flew a loop （圈）around the house, and then came back again once the porch was clean.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months.
