11．English is fast becoming the language of science around the world，but what is its future among everyday speakers？One expert points out that the percentage（比率） of native English speakers is declining（降低） while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of people．But English will continue to remain widespread and important．
However，British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance （主導(dǎo)） by the middle of this century to rank，after Chinese，about equally with Arabic，Hindi，and Urdu．"The number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise，but it isn't rising nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world，simply because the main population group has been largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken，"he says．
In a recent article in the journal Science，Mr．Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon．These are Bengali，Tamil，and Malay，spoken in south and Southeast Asia．
David Crystal，the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language，says about 1.5 billion of the world's six billion people speak it as a second language compared to the 400 million native speakers．But another expert on the English language says Mr．Graddol underestimates（低估） the future of its dominance．"All the evidence suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a hill and is getting faster， but nobody quite knows what's going to happen because no language has been in this position before．"he said．
（1）In David Graddol's opinion，English will．
A．remain widespread and important
B．be more important than any other language
C．lose its dominant position
D．die away in the near future
（2）The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that．
A．more and more language users will choose English
B．the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time in the past
C．English language will soon drop in dominance
D．snowballs will roll down faster than language balls
（3）How many experts does the passage mention who express their ideas about the future of English？
A．2
B．3
C．4
D．5
（4）What should be the best title for the passage？
A．English Remaining the Dominant Position
B．The Future of English？Who Knows
C．Opinions from Different Experts
D．The English Language Snowball Rolling Down．組卷：7引用：1難度：0.9 -
12．You've heard that plastic is polluting the ocean—between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year.But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference？Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage，forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year，the artist built a piece called "Strawpocalypse，" a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves，frozen mid-crash.Made of 168，000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups，the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City，Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled.Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source（來源）of plastic pollution，but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and，because of their small size and weight，they cannot be recycled.Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes.Once the drink is gone，the straw will take centuries to disappear.
In a piece from 2018，Von Wong wanted to illustrate（說明）a specific statistic：Every 60 seconds，a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean.For this work，titled "Truckload of Plastic，" Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10，000 pieces of plastic，which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped（傾倒） from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.
（1）What are Von Wong's artworks intended for？
A．Beautifying the city he lives in.
B．Introducing eco-friendly products.
C．Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
D．Reducing garbage on the beach.
（2）Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3？
A．To show the difficulty of their recycling.
B．To explain why they are useful.
C．To voice his views on modern art.
D．To find a substitute for them.
（3）What effect would "Truckload of Plastic" have on viewers？
A．Calming.
B．Disturbing.
C．Refreshing.
D．Challenging.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A．Artists' Opinions on Plastic Safety
B．Media Interest in Contemporary Art
C．Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
D．Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures組卷：175引用：5難度：0.5 -
13． Plenty of businesses have suffered during the novel coronavirus pandemic，but business for Laura Stone is booming.
Laura is the founder of Sydney by Kayak，a company that offers guided kayak （皮艇） tours of Sydney Harbor （海港） in Australia.Not only did their business not decrease during the pandemic，but one of their tours is actually more popular than ever.
A few years ago，Laura was paddling in the harbor when she noticed trash （垃圾） floating in the water.For reference，the United Nations Environment Programme estimates that about 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans each year，causing big problems for wildlife.
Laura was so appalled by the garbage in the water that she decided to dedicate a few paddles each week to trash cleanup.Incredibly，her clients were immediately on board with the idea，so Sydney by Kayak now leads four to five garbage-collecting tours every week!
At the start of the pandemic，Laura assumed her business would drop off as many others had.Instead，desperate for purpose and a way to get outdoors，people went to her "Clean Up Kayak" tours.They now routinely take about 441 pounds of garbage out of the harbor each week!
"We've been quite surprised，even through the pandemic，we've been very busy，" Laura said. "Because they can't travel，people are looking for something to do，that is not just good for them，but also good for the environment."
Each tour begins with participants preparing a paddle，bucket，picker stick，and sieve （篩子）.Some people come back multiple times for the satisfaction of collecting trash from the harbor.Julie Greening，for example，has done about 10 tours so far and says "every little bit is worth it".
"There're 7 billion people on this planet，so everyone does a little，and of course it's going to help，" she says.
Fresh air，sunshine，exercise，good company，and a great cause：What else do you need？Laura has found on an incredible，pandemic-proof business idea that helps the earth as much as it helps participants.
（1）Why is Laura's business more popular during lockdown？
A．Because her business is related to guided kayak tours.
B．Because she helps tackle the litter problem in the oceans.
C．Because she deals with the food problem for ocean wildlife.
D．Because she has unique business skills compared to other businessmen.
（2）What's the meaning of the underlined word "appalled" in Paragraph 4？
A．Shocked.
B．Curious.
C．Satisfied.
D．Excited.
（3）What qualities does Laura have according to the text？
A．Caring and devoted.
B．Active and gifted.
C．Creative but selfish.
D．Hard-working but mean.
（4）Which can be a suitable title for the text？
A．Sea Kayak Adventure Group
B．Properly Maintain Your Kayak
C．How to Clean the Outside of Your Kayak
D．Kayakers Remove Trash from Sydney Harbor組卷：1引用：3難度：0.5 -
14． When my father then died in June 2019，despite not wanting to leave my mother living up there all by herself，I couldn't imagine moving in.
And even when Ma was diagnosed with breast cancer in late 2019，and I started splitting my weeks between my overpriced studio apartment in Brooklyn and the house upstate to help manage her care，I never considered giving up my city life to move to the suburbs.Absolutely not!
What spells failure more than a single woman in her 40s moving in with her mother near the small town she grew up in？
Then the pandemic hit.Suddenly，all the myths I had bought into about what success looks like and how we were supposed to live as adults began to break down.My mother was going through her final round of chemo，the last she needed to save her life，and yet I couldn't be there.
And my mom needed me：She couldn't go to the grocery store，physically deal with people coming to the door to make deliveries.She needed help getting to her appointments.That，after all，was why I'd been splitting my time between my place and hers to begin with.
So after a three-week quarantine，I went home to stay with Ma.The plan was to stay for a month at first-until things "got back to normal".But，I'd already lost one parent；I wasn't ready to face the potential loss of another
In months that I was living with Ma，something else had happened，too.Long riddled with anxiety issues，l was calmer，more in touch with nature and eating better.We were able to heal from the loss of my father.
（1）Why did the author wish not to stay with her mom at first？
A．She was attached to her city life.
B．She was sad about her father's death.
C．She realized that her mother could manage her life on her own.
D．She was terrified by the pandemic.
（2）What does the underlined word "splitting" in Paragraph 2 mean？
A．Departing.
B．Dividing.
C．Settling.
D．Packing.
（3）Which of the following is true according to the passage？
A．The author wanted her mother to live alone.
B．The author had to keep her husband company in the city.
C．The author was desperately needed by her mom.
D．The author suffered greatly living in the countryside.組卷：0引用：2難度：0.5 -
15．Some years back，nobody paid much attention to the waste in homes and landfills.It became so vast that the government started getting concerned the phenomenon could create a disaster.A solution had to be found，but one that is kind to humans and the environment.（1）
.Below are the reasons why we need to recycle.
Conserve natural resources
（2）.If a lot of pressure is put on these natural resources，they might be run out of fast.The only way to stop the pressure applied to these resources is recycling.According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency，recycling one ton of paper saves up about 17 trees as well as 7 tons of water.
Reduce carbon emissions
Recycling greatly minimizes carbon emissions，commonly referred to as greenhouse gases.（3），they would end up being burned，giving out dangerous greenhouse gases.Whatever your opinion on global warming，a lot of people agree to the idea that everyone needs to play a role in minimizing the effects of pollution and emissions.
（4）
Recycling has been proved to save up lots of energy.Companies that use recycled aluminum save up to 95% energy during production of aluminum products when compared to companies that source raw materials.
One person can make a big difference
Most people have already made up their minds that one person cannot make any difference in regard to recycling waste.That thinking might apply in other fields.In recycling，an individual can make a big difference.Averagely，every American produces about 1，600 pounds of waste every year.Up to 1，100 pounds of waste is able to be recycled every year per person.（5）.
A.Save energy
B.Protect the environment
C.That's how recycling was born
D.If these wastes were not recycled
E.That represents half a ton per individual
F.Many kinds of resources are considered limited
G.You and your neighbor's effort to recycle will mean clean surrounding air組卷：1引用：2難度：0.7

18．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進行續(xù)寫，使之構(gòu)成一個完整的故事。
I live in a small but lovely neighborhood.Our house is neither large nor luxurious，but it has a fairly big garden.My father loves his garden.He planted some seeds in it and took good care of the plants，watering them，applying fertilizer，weeding and getting rid of bugs.He was never tired of doing all that stuff.But at that time，I didn't understand why working in the dirt excited him so much.
Unfortunately，in the summer vacation before senior high school，my father was seriously injured in an accident.He had to stay in bed for a while.My mother had several business trips，so she couldn't take care of the garden.I didn't want my father to worry.I said that I would take care of his garden until he recovered.I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water，and luckily it rained fairly often，so I didn't think much about the garden.
One Saturday morning，my father said to me， "Christine，the vegetables should be about ready to be picked.Let's have a salad today!" I went out to the garden and was upset to see that many of the lettuce （生菜） leaves and carrots had been half eaten by bugs.There were hundreds of bugs all over them!
I panicked for a moment but then I quietly went to the nearest supermarket to buy some vegetables.When I was making the salad，my mother came home and saw the bag from the supermarket in the kitchen.I was embarrassed and admitted， "Dad would like a salad，but the garden is a disaster.I don't want to disappoint him，so I went to the store and bought some vegetables." My mother smiled，saying， "Honey，you know what is the right thing to do."
My father seemed very pleased when I took the salad to him.______
Feeling guilty，I decided to do the right thing.______組卷：54引用：7難度：0.5 -
