19．The answer to protecting and saving marine（海洋）wildlife can start with cutting back on something Americans use every day---plastic drinking straws（吸管）．Actor Adrien Grenier，best known for playing Vincent Chase in 2015 movie Entourage，has launched a campaign to reduce the amount of single-use plastic usage in this country in order to protect and save marine wildlife and the environment．Plastic drinking straws are among many single-use plastic products contributing to the shocking loss of marine life，but they're a great place to start because they're something Americans are using by the hundreds of millions without any awareness that they're so damaging．
According to Ecocycle，an international environmental organization，Americans use more than 500 million straws daily，which are enough to fill 127 school buses each day，and they can't be recycled．That means plastic straws end up in landfills or oceans，where fish and other marine wildlife mistake the small bits for food and swallow them．After seeing a photo of a whale beached on the shore with a belly full of plastic，Grenier felt the inspiration to launch the Lonely Whale Foundation，hoping to inspire and educate others on the challenges facing marine life．
Along with stopping the use of straws，Grenier hopes to educate consumers on the dangers of other single-use plastic items such as grocery bags and water bottles．While many Americans use these plastic products in their daily life，there are more sustainable alternatives that can help protect the environment．Ecocycle recommends the use of straws made from stainless steel，glass，and even bamboo instead of plastic．You can buy a number of these environmentally friendly straws online and in stores．

24．What initially contributed to the start of Grenier's campaign？B
A．Plastic straws in landfills
B．A picture of a dead whale
C．The severe damage done to the sea
D．The disappearance of some species under the sea
25．What is the primary purpose of the Lonely Whale Foundation？D
A．To advocate a green lifestyle
B．To promote Grenier's latest movie
C．To save precious natural resources
D．To encourage people to protect ocean life
26．Ecocycle advises people to use straws that areD．
A．easy to recycle
B．convenient to use
C．special to marine life
D．harmless to the environment．

9．Adults are happy to tell their children that crusts （面包皮） will give them curly hair，carrots will help them see in the dark，and spinach will make them strong．Even though adults know it's not totally true，they think it's good for their children's health，a study had found．
In a study about 31 percent of adults said they once told their children the curly hair tale，and 36 percent said they'd been told the same thing by their mother or father．Among the over-50s，almost half said they'd been promised curly hair if they ate their crusts．A quarter of the 2，000 adults questioned in the study told their children carrots would help them see in the dark．This could be true to some extent because of the high levels of vitamin A and beta-carotene in root vegetables．
Another favorite among parents is that milk will make one strong．A third surveyed said their parents told them this，and about 29 percent said they told their children the same thing．But while there is plenty of evidence to suggest milk is good for people's health，there are also a lot of scientific papers saying it isn't．
Thanks to Popeye，spinach is also fed to children，along with the idea that it will make them strong．While there is also some truth in this one，scientists now believe it is not the iron，but the inorganic nitrates （無機(jī)硝酸鹽） that improve physical power．
One in seven of the surveyed admitted telling their little ones that runner beans will make them run faster，which is nothing more than wordplay and has no basis in science．Almost one in five adults were subjected to the same tale in childhood．
Just over one in 10 parents told their children green food would turn them into a superhero，and a quarter admitted hiding vegetables in meals．
Lyndsay Jones，spokesman for Persil Washing Up Liquid，said，"It's clear that the most persuasive stories about food are passed on from generation to generation．Our research shows that the ideas continue，and we tell our kids the same things our parents told us，even if they're not always entirely true．"
Crusts may not make your hair curly，but there's plenty of research that says crusts contain more of the goodness than the rest of a loaf．Hopefully，as a result of our Cook with Kids promise，more parents will be encouraged to spend time with their children in the kitchen and teach them the truth about food．

32．We can know from Paragraph 3 thatC．
A．milk is beneficial to children's physical strength
B．a(chǎn) third people are forced to drink milk by their parents
C．there is doubt whether milk is helpful to people's health 
D．a(chǎn)bout 29 percent people wish their children good health
33．Which of the following does Lyndsay Jones agree？D
A．Most persuasive stories about food are false．
B．Adults are willing to teach their children as their parents did．
C．Stories about food shouldn't be passed on from generation to generation．
D．Parents can't make sure if some stories about food are totally true．
34．We can learn from the passage thatB．
A．parents are expected to tell children the truth about food
B．scientists think the iron in spinach helps children grow strong
C．runner beans can really make children run fast
D．crusts are said to contain less nutrition than a loaf
35．How is the passage mainly developed？C
A．By making comparisons．
B．By following time order                                   
C．By giving examples．
D．By analyzing causes．

10．The forces that make Japan one of the world's most earthquake-prone（有…傾向的）countries could become part of its long-term energy solution．
Water from deep below the ground at Japan's tens of thousands of hot springs could be used to produce electricity．Although Japanese high-tech companies are leaders in geothermal（地?zé)岬模?nbsp;technology and export it，its use is limited in the nation．
"Japan should no doubt make use of its resources of geothermal energy，"said Yoshiyasu Takefuji，a leading researcher of thermal-electric power production．
The disastrous earthquake and tsunami on March 11，2011 caused a reaction against atomic power，which previously made up 30 percent of Japan's energy needs，and increased interest in alternative energies，which account for only 8 percent．
Artist Yoko Ono has called on Japan to explore its natural energy，following the example of Iceland which uses renewable energy for more than 80percent of its needs．
For now，geothermal energy makes up less than 1percent of the energy needs in Japan，which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power．
The biggest problem to geothermal energy is the high initial cost of the exploration and constructing the factories．Another problem is that Japan's potentially best sites are already being developed for tourism or are located within national parks where construction is forbidden．
"We can't even dig 10cm inside national parks．"said Shigeto Yamada of Fuji Electric，adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow．
Researcher Hideaki Matsui said，"Producing electricity using hot springs is a decades-long project．We also have to think about what to do for now as energy supplies will decrease in the short term．"
The Earth Policy Institute in Washington，the US，believed Japan could produce 80，000 megawatts（兆瓦）and meet more than half its electricity needs with geothermal technology．
Japanese giants such as Toshiba are already global leaders in geothermal technology，with a 70 percent market share．In 2015，F(xiàn)uji Electric built the world's largest geothermal factory in New Zealand．

28．In the opinion of Shigeto Yamada，which of the following is important to achieve the growth of geothermal power in Japan？C
A．Financial support from the Japanese government．
B．Enough aid from local people．
C．A revolution of the policy．
D．Development of new high technology．
29．Geothermal energy is considered as a long term programme byB．
A．Yoshiyasu Takefuji
B．HideaJki Matsui
C．Shigeto Yamada
D．Yoko Ono
30．It can be learned from the last two paragraphs thatB．
A．the world's biggest geothermal plant was built by America
B．the potential of Japan's geothermal energy is great
C．it is hard to find geothermal energy in Japan
D．Japan will not export its geothermal technology
31．What would be the best title for the text？C
A．The world's largest geothermal plant
B．Japan takes the lead in geothermal technology
C．Japan thinks of geothermal energy
D．Alternative energies in Japan．

14．It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25．I was a nurse on duty that day．I didn't think there would be any patients，and sighed about having to work on Christmas．Just then five bodies showed up at my desk，a pale woman and four small children．
"Are you all sick？"I asked．
"Yes，"she said weakly and lowered her head．
But when they described their problems，things got a little unclear．Two of the children had headaches，but the headaches weren't accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still．Two children had earaches，but only one could tell me which ear was affected．The mother complained of a cough but seemed to work to produce it．
Something was wrong，but I didn't say anything but explained that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her．She responded，"Take your time； it's warm in here．"
I checked the chart after the clerk had finished registering（登記） the family．No address-they were homeless．The waiting room was warm．I looked out at the family gathering close together by the Christmas tree．The youngest one was pointing at the television and saying something to her mother excitedly．The oldest one was looking at the decorations on the Christmas tree．
I went back to the nurses'station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room．The nurses，complaining about working on Christmas，turned to compassion（同情） for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas．The team went into action，much as we do when there's a medical emergency．But this one was a Christmas emergency．
We were all offered a free meal in the hospital cafeteria on Christmas Day，so we took back that meal and prepared a large meal for our Christmas guests．We needed presents．We put together oranges and apples in a basket．We collected from different departments candies，crayons and other things available that could be presents．As seriously as we met the physical needs of the patients，our team worked to meet the needs，and exceed the expectations of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day．
Later，as the family walked to the door to leave，the four-year old came running back，gave me a hug and whispered，"Thanks for being our angels today．"

21．When all the nurses heard about the homeless family，theyB．
A．complained about being disturbed on Christmas
B．took pity on them and prepared a special gift for them
C．treated them as quickly as possible
D．drove them away immediately
22．What does the underlined word"exceed"in Para.8mean？B
A．create．B．do more than  C．do less than D．lower
23．What would be the best title for the passage？A
A．Working Christmas Day
B．Christmas nurses
C．Medical matters
D．Cold Christmas．

2．Humans have daydreamed for thousands of years，and yet，these days，spare moments are filled with using our smartphones and other devices-going through social media，listening to podcasts，responding to emails-leaving us little time to let our minds wander．
（36）CWhen you're in a daydreaming state of mind，you can imagine or pretend your own version of events．
"My most creative moments come when my brain is allowed to rest"says Megan King，a designer．But she is addicted to her smart phone．（37）G According to Nielsen，Americans spend 10.5hours a day consuming media．And UK residents are close behind at almost 10hours a day，according to eMarketer．
（38）BThis may seem a small change，but its effect，on the way our minds work and on our collective creativity could be serious．（39）D
Over years of studies，researchers have found that our brain has two separate attention systems-an external one and an internal one．The internal attention system，which is activated（激活）during daydreaming，is called the default network（默認(rèn)網(wǎng)絡(luò)）．
The default network is particularly active when we are thinking about ourselves，thinking about the past，thinking about the future．（40）EIf both systems can't be active at the same time and we're spending 10hours a day in one attention system，it begs the question：what is that doing to our brains-and our ability to come up with creative ideas？

A．Daydreaming is the opposite of our dreams．
B．This extended screen time has made some of us uncomfortable sitting alone with our own thoughts．
C．Daydreaming is how we access our big-picture state of mind．
D．In fact，it could be preventing your ability to come up with fresh，creative ideas．
E．We can't really have both attention systems active at the same time．
F．People spend too much time on screen suffer from headaches．
G．She's not alone．
