21、Saving the environment might seem like a tall order, but living an environmentally friendly life is actually quite easy. 【1】 Read on for some practical tips on how a single individual can help save the environment.

Recycle

Recycling is a simplest lifestyle to lower the amount of environmental waste. Every resident can get involved by taking advantage of nearby recycling services. 【2】 For instance, some places may not accept glass, while others might require you to separate the different materials. If you dispose of something improperly, the whole load will likely be rejected and end up in a landfill.

Buy locally-sourced foods

Eating fresh, local food consumes less fuel and packaging materials. Shipping products by truck, rail, flight, or boat creates pollution and goes against an environmentally friendly lifestyle. Instead, shop at local farmers’ markets and grocery stores stocking locally-sourced products. 【3】 .

Cut back on driving

Applying alternate forms of transportation consumes less gasoline. 【4】 If that isn’t an option, consider organizing carpools or using public transportation. By doing this, you help reduce traffic jams and the overall amount of gasoline consumption. Also, combine multiple trips into one to help minimize the distance traveled and fuel consumed.

【5】

Advocacy allows more people to create a positive impact. Spread the word about environmental conservation by sharing some of the lifestyle changes you’ve made on social media and in conversations with people around, calling on everybody to play a role.

A．Cut back your carbon footprint

B．Walk or ride a bike whenever possible

C．Encourage others to help save the environment

D．Check the regulations to ensure you use them properly

E．The topic of preserving natural resources entertains everyone

F．With just a few small lifestyle changes, you can make a difference

G．Alternatively, use community-supported services to get fresh produce regularly

22、If you have a chance to go to school in America, you should keep the following in mind.

If a teacher asks you a question, you are expected to give an answer.If you do not understand the question, you should raise your hand and ask the teacher to repeat the question. It is all right to tell your teacher that you do not know the answer. Then he or she knows what you need to learn.

There is no excuse for not doing your homework. If you are absent, you should call your teacher or your classmates and ask for the homework. It is your responsibility to find out what homework you have missed.

It is impolite to eat, drink or chew gum during class. This is allowed for the break. Removing one’s shoes in the classroom is also impolite.

You must not be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, you must call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows a makeup(补考),you should take it within one or two days after returning to class.

It is rude to be late. If you have to come in late, be sure to do it quietly by having your books and papers out of your bag, then go to your seat and sit very quietly. In the US, it is not necessary to knock before you enter the classroom. Most teachers will give you a low grade if you are often late.

23、Laughter is so important to humans that people can recognize it, even if they belong to a different culture or speak a different language. Humans also think of laughter as a way to connect and bond. What about other animals?

Scientists are studying if animals laugh to find out if there is a connection between laughing and playing. The work won’t just help us understand animals better, but it could also help us understand how humans changed over time to laugh the way we do now. Sasha Winkler, a graduate student at UCLA, works with small monkeys. These monkeys would play together by chasing each other. One day, Winkler noticed a sound the animals made during the play. The monkeys sounded like they were out of breath. Then, Winkler read and reviewed research written by other scientists studying animals. And he found out that many animals laugh so that their play partner knows they are having fun. This is important because animal play can sometimes look like fighting. During the play, some animals also make a “play face”, giving an expression like a smile to show that they are happy.

But animal laughs are not quite the same as human laughs. When compared to human laughs, animal laughter can sound very different. When some birds play, they make a purring (低鸣) sound. Humans may have started off panting like some monkeys do, but over time laughter became the sounds we use today.

One big difference between human laughs and animal laughs is that humans laugh much more loudly. Most sounds animals make during play are very quiet so they can only be heard by the animal they are playing with. But for humans, loud laughter is a sign that we’re part of a group. It’s really fascinating that so many animals use sounds during play. And those sounds are for reasons similar to why humans make sounds.

A．The animals can laugh when they are fighting.

B．The animals may have fight when playing together.

C．The animals make different kinds of “play face” during the play.

D．The animals will be out of breath in chasing each other.

【4】What does the underlined word “panting” mean in paragraph 3?

A．Playing happily.

B．Smiling slightly.

C．Breathing quickly.

D．Laughing loudly.

24、   The purpose of the American court system is to protect the rights of the people. According to American law, if someone is accused of a crime, he or she is considered innocent until the court proves that the person is guilty. In other words, it is the responsibility of the court to prove that a person is guilty. It is not the responsibility of the person to prove that he or she is innocent.

In order to arrest a person, the police have to be reasonable sure that a crime has been committed. The police must give the suspect the reasons why they are arresting him and tell him his rights under the law. Then the police take the suspect to the police station to “book” him. “Booking means that the name of the person and the charges against him are formally listed at the police station.

The next step is for the suspect to go before a judge. The judge decides whether the suspect should be kept in jail or released. If the suspect has no previous criminal record and the judge feels that he will return to court rather than run away -- for example, because he owns a house and has a family -- he can go free. Otherwise, the suspect must put up bail（保释金）. At this time, too, the judge will appoint a court layer to defend the suspect if he can’t afford one.

The suspect returns to court a week or two later. A lawyer from the district attorney’s office presents a case against the suspect. This is called a hearing. The attorney may present evidence as well as witnesses. The judge at the hearing then decides whether there is enough reason to hold a trial. If the judge decides that there is sufficient evidence to call for a trial, he or she sets a date for the suspect to appear in court to formally plead guilty（认罪）or not guilty.

At the trial, a jury of 12 people listens to the evidence from both attorneys and hears the testimony of the witnesses. Then the jury goes into a private room to consider the evidence and decide whether the defendant is guilty of the crime. If the jury decides that the defendant is innocent, he goes free. However, if he is convicted, the judge sets a date for the defendant to appear in court again for sentencing. At this time, the judge tells the convicted（宣判有罪的）person what his punishment will be. The judge may sentence him to prison, order him to pay a fine, or place him on probation（缓刑）.

The American justice system is very complex and sometimes operates slowly. However, every step is designed to protect the rights of the people. These individual rights are the basis, or foundation, of the American government.

【1】What is the main idea of the passage?

A.The American court system requires that a suspect prove that he or she is innocent.

B.The US court system is designed to protect the rights of the people.

C.Under the American court system, judge decides if a suspect is innocent or guilty.

D.The US court system is designed to help the police present a case against the suspect.

【2】According to the passage, ‘he can go free’ (para. 3) means _________.

B.the suspect does not have to go to trial because the judge has decided he is innocent

C.the suspect will be informed by mail whether he is innocent or not

D.the suspect does not have to wait in jail or pay money until he goes to trial

【3】What is the purpose of having the suspect pay bail?

A.To pay for the judge and the trial.

B.To pay for a court lawyer to defend the suspect.

C.To ensure that the suspect will return to court.

D.To ensure that the suspect will appear in prison.

【4】According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A.The American justice system sometimes operates slowly

B.The police can arrest a suspect without giving any reasons.

C.It is the responsibility of the suspect to prove he is innocent.

D.The jury considers the evidence in the court room.
