【题目】When I was 12 years old, my family moved to a slightly nicer neighborhood in the Prince George’s County. I wasn’t happy about the move. I liked my school

and enjoyed riding the school bus; I had befriended (照顾) every dog in my old neighborhood and made good friends with them; and I would miss my special reading tree. Besides, we had only just moved to Maryland the year before.

Still, a new place to explore is always a good thing. Directly in front of our apartment building was a small wooded hill and that immediately became my domain (领地). I named a certain space “Buckingham Palace”, and didn’t allow anyone to disturb me there. A few years after I returned from my university in New Jersey to live in that neighborhood, only on the opposite side of the hill, I was pleased to share my palace with the friends who came to visit.

As I was not permitted to wander far without a good excuse, it took me slightly longer to discover the large field that was over a ridge (山脊) by the road. The field was, after all, in the opposite direction from my school and I had no reason to walk that way.

However, one day I did go off that way and happened to look down into the field and see, to my delight, lots of yellow flowers. The field was simply covered with them. Carefully, I began to climb down the ridge into the field, planning to pick a rose for my mother. Alas, I didn’t get far before the field of flowers rose and flew away. I had seen not a field of flowers but a garden of goldfinches (金翅雀).

1Before moving to a new neighborhood, the author    .

A. planted a reading tree

B. used to go to school on foot

C. moved there just from Maryland

D. got along well with dogs in the neighborhood

2In his new neighborhood, the author    .

A. invited his friends to have a visit

B. made friends with many dogs

C. ran away from the school

D. found a good place and named it “Buckingham Palace”

3When going near the field beyond the hill, the author    .

A. found his school was opposite the field

B. found many goldfinches on the yellow flowers

C. realized what he had seen were goldfinches

D. picked a lot of yellow flowers for his mother

4What does the author mainly talk about in the passage?

A. Exploring a new neighborhood.

【题目】When I was young, my father had one of the first telephones in our neighborhood. I remember the shiny box on the wall. But I was too little to reach it. I could only listen to my mother talk on it.

I discovered that inside the-wonderful box lived an amazing person whose name was Information Please. There was nothing she did not know.

One day my mother went out. I accidentally hurt my finger when I was playing with a hammer. I walked around the house sucking my finger, finally seeing the telephone. Quickly I dragged a chair over and climbed up.

“Information Please, ”I spoke into the receiver. A click or two and a small clear voice spoke into my ear. “Information.”

“I hurt my finger…”I cried into the phone.

“Isn’t your mother home?” came the question.

“Nobody’s home but me.” I sobbed.

“Are you bleeding?” the voice asked.

“No,” I replied, “I hit my finger with the hammer and it hurts.”

“Can you open your icebox?” she asked. I said I could.

“Then take a little piece of ice and hold it to your finger.” said the voice.

After that, I called “Information Please” for everything. I asked her for help with my geography and she told me where Philadelphia was. She helped me with my math. She told me her name was Sally.

Then, there was the time my pet canary(金丝雀)died. I called “Information Please” and told Sally the sad story. “Why is it that birds sing so beautifully and bring joy to all families, only to end up as a pile of feathers?” She listened, then said quietly, “Paul, always remember that there are other worlds to sing in.” Somehow, I felt better.

One day when I called “Information Please” again, a different voice answered “Information.”

I asked for Sally. “Are you a friend?” she said.

“Yes,” I answered.

“I’m sorry to have to tell you this,” she said. “She died five days ago.” Before I could hang up she said, “Wait a minute. Did you say your name was Paul?”

“Yes.”

“Well, Sally left a message for you. The note said, ‘Tell him I still say there are other worlds to sing in. He’ll know what I mean.’” I thanked her and hung up. I knew what Sally meant.

【题目】Are Your Clothes Causing Pollution?

Very small pieces of plastic, called microfibers, are polluting rivers and oceans.1Clothes worn for outdoor activities and exercise are often made of artificial material, which is useful in keeping warm. But they contain very small plastic fibers, which may also be harming the environment when you wash them. When people wash these clothes, very small pieces go down the drain (下水道) with the wash water.

2

Pollution caused by plastic is not new, but recent studies have shown the effect of microfibers in the environment.

Studies show very small microfibers are ending up in our waters, which may come from waste water treatment factories. A 2015 study found them in fish from California.

Microfibers, effect on food supplies.

Beyond the waterways, the researchers say microfibers may end up in soil and agricultural lands. 3This means there is much to be learned about microfibers and the environment. Some studies have shown that microfibers end up inside sea animals, like oysters.4Researchers say that the fibers tend not to move into the tissue of the fish, but it needs more study.

Steps to save or keep microfibers from the environment.

Until more information becomes known, there are steps to take to reduce the amount of microfibers in the environment. People should use less of the artificial materials. If we already have those in our lives and we’re using them, an important step would be washing them less.5A bag is being designed in which to wash these clothes. It traps the microfibers in the bag and it may be available for purchase soon.

A. New technology may also help.

B. Studies on microfibers in the environment.

C. They can also move around the atmosphere.

D. Studies on how much of the microfibers is released.

E. The source of these microfibers may surprise you: your clothes.

F. Washing machines keep microfibers from escaping with wash water.

G So if these microfibers have been found in fish and seafood, are they safe to eat?
