【解析】
本短文主要讲了一位英国野生动物摄影师Rebecca在看到因误食塑料袋等垃圾而亡的动物时感到很悲伤,于是她在自己家乡建议购物时避免使用塑料袋,减少使用塑料袋已经成为法律条文。
【1】句意:当她在太平洋为英国广播公司拍摄一部纪录片时,她深感悲伤。
深深的“deep”,形容词,句中修饰名词sadness“伤悲”,故答案为deep。
【2】句意:海滩应该是具有活力的。
根据下句But she sadly found that they were covered with plastic bags, toys, and ____3____ (瓶子) and dead animals. 但她伤心地发现,它们被塑料袋,玩具,瓶子和死去的动物覆盖。根据句意可知,句中they“它们”指代上句“沙滩”,沙滩beach,可知此处用名词beach的复数形式,故答案为beaches。
【3】句意:但她伤心地发现,它们被塑料袋,玩具,瓶子和死去的动物覆盖。
瓶子bottle,可数名词,根据句意,可知沙滩上瓶子不止一个,所以用复数形式bottles,故答案为bottles。
【4】句意:塑料袋具有许多优点,因此在人们的日常生活中得到了广泛的应用。
广泛地,widely,副词,修饰过去分词used,故答案为widely。
【5】句意:瑞贝卡决定她必须做些什么。
决定decide,动词。根据she had to do something,可知主句用过去时,故答案为decided。
【6】句意:在自己家乡,她建议当地的店主应该避免使用塑料袋。
家乡,hometown,根据In her own“她自己的”。可知hometown用单数,故答案为hometown。
【7】句意:在自己家乡,她建议当地的店主应该避免使用塑料袋。
避免avoid,动词。避免做某事“avoid doing”,情态动司should后用动词原形,故答案为avoid。
【8】句意:令她惊讶的是,他们接受了她的建议,莫德博里成为英国第一个没有塑料袋的地方。
接受accept,动词,根据Modbury became the first plastic bag-free place in Britain. 可知本句时态为过去时,所以用accept的过去式accepted,故答案为accepted。
【9】句意:现在,“生命之袋”是民族文化的一部分。
文化“culture”,不可数名词,故答案为culture。
【10】句意:减少使用塑料袋的任务已经成为法律。
法律,law名词,根据下句 Since October 2015, all shops in the UK must pay five pence for each plastic bag.“自2015年10月以来,英国所有商店都必须为每个塑料袋支付5便士。”可知,此处法律指的是这一条,所以用law的单数形式。故答案为law。

【题目】 My name is Wu Zhou. I have lived in Canada for twenty-three years. In Canada, I call myself Joe Wu. Joe is an English name that sounds like Zhou.
Though I have lived here for a long time, I still don’t feel Canadian. This is probably because there are so many differences between Chinese manners and North American ones.
In China, if someone says that your English is excellent, you should be modest(谦虚的) and say, “Oh, no. My English is still poor.” But in North America, this is usually a sign of being weak and not confident. People just say, “Thank you.”
In Canada, people only ask children about their ages. It’s not polite to ask about an adult’s age. They think it is private. But in China this is common in many places.
In China, it is polite to offer an elderly person a seat on the bus. In North America, however, an elderly person may feel embarrassed(不好意思的) about being offered a seat.
When Chinese people eat out in restaurants, they may take turns to pay for the meal. In Canada, however, people often share the cost of a meal.
In China, if there is no food left on guests’ plates, it’s polite to put food on them. In Canada, people pass food to guests, but seldom put food on their plates.
In China, guests seldom give money to waiters, waitresses, taxi drivers or hotel workers to show thanks. In North America, this is always done. It is called “tipping”.
It’s interesting to experience two different cultures. I think understanding cultural differences really helps us to understand each other, live together and work together.
【1】Wu Zhou is a person who_____________ .
A.feels CanadianB.is weak and not confident
C.is called Joe Wu in CanadaD.has lived in China for 23 years
【2】The underlined word “tipping” refers to “_____________”.
A.giving money to show thanksB.paying for the meal
C.offering a seat to an old personD.passing food to guests
【3】Elderly Canadians might feel_____________ when they are offered seats on the buses.
A.happyB.embarrassedC.comfortableD.worried
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.Canadian CultureB.Different Manners
C.Hard Life in CanadaD.A Person Named Wu Zhou

【题目】 Many people dream of travelling into outer space. However, spending too much time in space may cause health problems, according to NASA. That’s why astronauts shouldn’t spend more than six months on the International Space Station(ISS) at a time.
Muscle(肌肉) and boneless
In a weightless environment, astronauts don’t need to use their muscles to support themselves. Therefore, their muscles start shrinking(萎缩). To keep their muscles strong, astronauts need to exercise about 2 hours each day on the ISS. The weightless environment also causes astronauts bones to lose minerals, with density( 密 度 ) dropping at over 1 percent per month. The rate of bone loss for elderly people on Earth is 1 to 1.5 percent per year.
Sleep disorder(混乱)
In space, the Sun rises every 90 minutes. It is hard for astronauts to get used to this light-dark cycle when they sleep. Also, they need to sleep in a sleeping bag that is fixed to a wall, which is uncomfortable. Astronauts now have individual sleeping pods(分离仓) that help shut out some of the light. Still, studies have found that most astronauts only sleep about six hours each night, even though they should have eight and a half hours.
Brain changes
Scientists have found that the position of the brain changes during spaceflight. It shifts upward within the skull( 头 骨 ). This can affect how the brain deals with how we see, stay balanced and move around.
That’s why some astronauts can’t control their movement and balance after returning to the earth. Scientists have also found that astronauts may get used to this change after going on more spaceflights. But they still need to do more research.
【1】Astronauts suffer muscle problems after returning to the earth because ______ .
A.they are too busy to exercise in spaceB.they don’t have enough room to exercise in space
C.they don’t use their muscles in spaceD.they rarely walk while in space
【2】Astronauts sleep in individual sleeping pods to ______ .
A.shut out lightB.stay warm at night
C.enjoy a quiet atmosphereD.prevent themselves from floating around
【3】How can astronauts deal with the problem of losing their balance?
A.They can walk upside-down on the earth.B.They can go on more spaceflights.
C.They can take some medicine.D.They can sleep more and rest.
【4】What’s the best title for this passage: _______ .
A.Dream of travelling into spaceB.Health problems in space
C.Muscle and bone loss in spaceD.Astronauts in space
