The next day, all the students submitted (提交) their topics for the math exhibition． Almost all of them worked in a group except Manu． Kevin’s team decided to do Snakes and Ladders, Junaid’s team decided to do a crossword puzzle, and Manu decided to do a magic game, and of course, he did it all alone．

Around the world, people are more and more worried about the environment． Many people now prefer products and companies (公司) that care about the earth and cause less pollution． This need for green products has led large companies to change their business．

Before, customers used cheap plastic (塑料) bags, and then threw them away． But now most supermarkets and stores usually provide reusable shopping bags for them． This causes less waste． They also offer more local products, because less energy is needed for carrying them from one place to another．

To help lower air pollution, big car factories are looking for other ways to control the amount of oil． Cars that use much less oil are very popular． Many companies are also developing fully electric cars． They produce no air pollution at all． Both kinds of cars have another advantage: They are cheaper to run and people don’t need to worry about oil prices．

The airline companies face an even greater green challenge． Airplanes use much more oil than cars． So many airlines are now developing planes that can run on some other kinds of oil． They create less pollution and cost less． The companies are also developing a new kind of planes, and some of them use only solar panels (太阳能板) to fly!

Green businesses used to be popular with only a small group of people． But now, more and more companies have to show they care about the environment． Many products are marked “green” in order to look nice． However, people still have to be careful when choosing green products． It’s important to make sure the products are as environmentally friendly as the businessmen say．

46．What does the word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Local products．     B．Green products．    C．Cheap plastic bags． D．Reusable shopping bags．

47．What are the advantages of electric cars according to the passage?

a． Using cheap oil．                                    b． Making little noise．

c． Running at low costs．                            d． Producing no air pollution．

A．a and b                   B．c and d                   C．b and c                   D．a and d

48．The last sentence of the passage is written to ________．

A．show the green products are healthy

B．encourage people to buy green products

C．explain the importance of the environment

D．tell people to choose green products carefully

49．Which is the right structure of the passage?

(①＝Paragraph 1    ②＝Paragraph 2, ．．．)

50．What’s the best title for the passage?

Gossip is the information passed from one person to another about other people’s lives． You may think gossip is awful． Even dictionary suggests that it is often unkind or untrue, but this common idea is unreasonable．

Firstly, a study by Robbins and Karan shows that gossip is common but much of it is just people sharing information． For their study, 467 people’s conversations were recorded． Robbins and Karan found that, on average, these people gossiped for 52 minutes a day, with 75% of the time spent communicating non-evaluative (非评价性的) information． Only about 14 % of the gossip was thought malicious, a much smaller percentage (百分比) than the common idea suggests, although to be fair, that was almost double the percentage of positive (积极的) gossip．

Scientists consider gossip to be an important reason why people in the old times were able to stay alive． It helped spread important news, it also provided information about who was trustworthy and who might not work well with others in a group． It allowed humans to build small communities with those who could be trusted, ensuring a greater chance of living． Today, it seems that not much has changed． Gossip still allows us to develop relationships and find out who we can work with best． Gossip also explains the rules of our society． When we hear someone criticize a person’s behaviour, it is obvious that such behaviour is unacceptable and should not be copied． That’s not to say we should pay attention to everything we hear, but it gives us direction．

Of course, these days, our world is changing the nature of gossip． Our networks are now larger, and some gossip can spread like wildfire． And problems come up when gossip includes untrue information． This kind of gossip can destroy people’s lives．

So scientists say that it’s important to share information that can’t hurt others． If we fail to do this, people will see us as someone who can’t be trusted and may even avoid us． Similarly, gossiping to improve one’s own place in society is unacceptable． It’s best to share information that may act as a warning to others or encourage them to behave better． It’s these things that normally push people together rather than make them turn away from each other．

51．The word “malicious” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”．

A．important               B．harmful                  C．meaningful             D．interesting

52．What’s probably the percentage of positive gossip in Robbins and Karan’s study？

A．75%．                   B．25%．                   C．8%．                     D．14%．

53．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A．People who gossip a lot in a group are always welcome．

B．People who like gossiping can work well together in a group．

C．Gossip helps people build relationships today as well as in the past．

D．In the past, people who liked gossiping were untrustworthy．

54．The writer probably agrees that ________．

A．gossiping is commonly thought kind and true

B．gossiping to move up in society should be avoided

C．gossip as a warning may destroy people’s lives

D．we shouldn’t stay close to people who like gossiping

55．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A．To discuss the positive effect of gossiping．

B．To tell people the reason why gossip is common．

C．To remind people of the problems of gossiping．

D．To guide people to be responsible for gossiping．

Do you know that over 1/3 of all food produced in the world goes to waste? According to the United Nations (UN), every year around the world, about one billion tons of food is wasted． At the same time, there are about one billion people who go hungry． Simply 1/4 of the food wasted is enough to keep them out of hunger． In addition, the wasted food produces over three billion tons of carbon dioxide (CO₂), which speeds up climate (气候) change． What can we do to solve this food waste problem?

One effective solution is balancing food production with demand (需求)． In hotels and other similar places, special instruments should be used so that cooks just prepare and cook food as it is ordered．

Another effective solution is starting programs to reduce food waste． Stores and buyers can try their best to be creative in food waste reduction． For example, stores can show customers instructions telling them how to make full use of food． Buyers can try not fixing their eyes only on food of the best quality (质量)． Sometimes, the food of non-top quality is also good enough to eat, or can be bought and then used to make delicious dishes．

One of the hardest solutions to achieve is for each and every one to buy and prepare food with a plan of their own so that less food is wasted． Challenging as it is, the use of meal plans in preparing food can play an important role in ending food waste in the family．

Food recycling is one of the known solutions． Efforts are now already in progress． Food that is not safe for humans to eat is recycled into other products such as animal food and clothing． Yet, there is still a long way to go and much for improvement in this area．

In a word, food waste has been one of the biggest problems in the world that have influenced us greatly． Many solutions have been found and many more are yet to be worked out． If each of us can put in more efforts, food waste is sure to be reduced for the good of our future．

Before the night school was opened, young people had trouble    72    (find) classes in traditional art． Today, the night school provides all these classes    73    a reasonable price, taught by celebrated teachers and artists．

For many young people, night classes are a    74    (wise) choice to escape from the busy city life than electronic products． “The stress in city creates a lot of    75    (worry),” Yang said． “People need a place to rest their minds, and night art classes can be that one．”
