【题目】Sputnik was the first artificial satellite.It can be described as an aluminium ball with diameter (直径) of 58 centimetres and weighing 83.6 kilograms, equipped with instruments to measure the temperature and the density (密度) of the atmosphere.Sputnik was launched into orbit around the Earth by the former Soviet Union on 4 October, 1957.Since then, hundreds of artificial satellites have been launched, each with a different purpose.

Some artificial satellites are used for telecommunications, which enable us to make telephone calls to any part of the world, to see live television transmissions and to communicate via the Internet.Other artificial satellites are used for navigation (导航), so that people on Earth can know at any moment the position of an object, within a few metres.Others are weather satellites, launched to observe the state of the atmosphere and to follow the movement of the clouds as they gather.There are also military satellites, for the purpose of gathering information on the weapons and the troops in countries which may be unfriendly and also to indicate the launch of a missile (导弹).

Each satellite has its own orbit which is selected according to its purpose.Communications satellites, for example, have a geostationary (与地球相对同步的) orbit.That is an orbit which turns at the same speed as the turning round of the Earth.Satellites used for weather forecasting pass over the two poles of the Earth.By doing so, a different part of the Earth’s surface is viewed on each successive orbit.All artificial satellites get the energy they need by huge solar panels which extend like wings.These are therefore controlled in such a way that they are always turned toward the Sun.

1The first manmade satellite was sent into space to ________.

A. do research on weather

B. communicate

C. show directions

D. broadcast TV programs

2Which kind of satellites has the same turning speed as the earth according to the passage?

A. Military satellites.

B. Weather satellites.

C. Satellites for communicating.

D. Experiment satellites.

3What’s the same character all satellites share?

A. Circling the earth at the same speed.

B. Providing useful information with the same purpose.

C. Having the same round shape with advanced instruments.

D. Getting energy from the Sun.

【答案】

【题目】Why Is Sorting Important When Recycling?

We all agree that we should recycle more at home, in the office or when out and about. 1Consequently, they can be collected and taken to the right place for recycling. This is what the process of sorting allows us to do.

2And the effective sorting needs to happen first, in our own home and second, in sorting plants to which waste is collected. When you put a plastic bottle in the right recycling bag or bin, you are helping sort recyclables so that the right material can be fed into the right recycling process. If sorting does not happena lot of recyclable materials can end up in landfills. It will lead to valuable resources lost from our economy.

3For instance, in Brussels consumers put plastic packaging, cans and beverage cartons in blue bags designed for recyclable packaging; paper in yellow bags for recycling; and glass needs to be taken to specific collection bins. Somewhat differently, in Vienna (Austria), citizens can expect their paper, metal, glass and plastic to be separately collected in different weeks of the year.4

Once recyclable materials are collected from your home, they are further sorted in specialized facilities which ensure the quality of the recycling process. 5Traditionally, sorting has been done either manually with workers sorting what can be recycled and picking out the materials to be discarded or mechanically. Today, however, new sorting technologies are being developed in order to speed up the process of sorting but to also cause better results. Exciting technologies using magnets or optical systems are being used to effectively sort materials so more of it can be recycled.

AFor effective recycling we need effective sorting.

BPackaging at work is the first step towards recycling.

CThis is where different sorting techniques come into play.

DSo citizens need to be aware of their local collection system.

ECollection systems can be very different from country to country.

FThe rest was landfilled or burned even though they could have been recycled or reused.

GBut for materials to be recycled, they first need to find their way to the right waste stream.

This morning I got up early and went to school as usually, only to find there were nobody in the classroom because it is Sunday. “How a bad memory I have!” I couldn’t help laughing. Stand in front of the school gate, I began to wonder what to do next. Suddenly a good idea occurs to me. “Why not get together with some good friends for a picnic in such a fine weather?” I immediately telephoned some of my best friends, but they all agreed to join me. About two hours late, we finally arrived a pleasant park with trees and flowers here and there. We really enjoyed us greatly.

【题目】Direction: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main file of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Declining mental function is often seen as a problem of old age, but certain aspects of brain function actually begin their decline in young adulthood, a new study suggests.

The study, which followed more than 2,000 healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 60, found that certain mental functions—including measures of abstract reasoning, mental speed and puzzle-solving—started to dull as early as age 27. Dips in memory, meanwhile, generally became apparent around age 37.

On the other hand, indicators of a person’s accumulated knowledge—like performance on tests of vocabulary and general knowledge—kept improving with age, according to the findings published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging. The results do not mean that young adults need to start worrying about their memories. Most people’s minds function at a high level even in their later years, according to researcher Timothy Salthouse.

“These patterns suggest that some types of mental flexibility decrease relatively early in adulthood, but that the amount of knowledge one has, and the effectiveness of integrating it with one’s abilities, may increase throughout all of adulthood if there are no diseases,” Salthouse said in a news release.

The study included healthy, educated adults who took standard tests of memory, reasoning and perception at the outset and at some point over the next seven years. The tests are designed to detect subtle (细微的) changes in mental function, and involve solving puzzles, recalling words and details from stories, and identifying patterns in collections of letters and symbols. In general, Salthouse and his colleagues found, certain aspects of cognition (认知能力) generally started to decline in the late 20s to 30s. The findings shed light on normal age-related changes in mental function, which could aid in understanding the process of dementia (痴呆), according to the researchers.

【题目】Forest Schools originated in Sweden in the 1950s and spread to other countries, particularly Denmark where they have become an important part of the Danish early years program.

In a typical Danish Forest School, young children from 3 years are taken into the forest for 4 hours each day of the week. They take no toys with them, but instead use only what the forest provides (and their imaginations) to develop their games. There is a primitive hut in the forest, which is used in extreme weather. Activities are childled and fun, such as finding small animals or stomping in puddles. Because of high adult to child ratios, children can safely try out activities which are often considered too dangerous, such as climbing trees or lighting fires, and by dressing the children in good protective clothing, they are able to play freely. By setting children small manageable tasks at which they are unlikely to fail, and giving genuine praise, children’s independence and confidence grow.

A Swedish scientific study found that children in the Forest School are more balanced and socially capable, have fewer sick days, are more able to concentrate and have better coordination than the city nursery children. The primary reason appeared to be the greater opportunities to play in nature, so that children play for longer at a time, tending not to disturb each other as much as children in the city nursery. The study observed that where children were interrupted, they became irritable, their stress level rose, and their ability to concentrate fell.

The study also showed that the Forest School children had 25% fewer sick days than the city children. One reason for this is that the air is nearly always better outside than indoors. Outside a child is not so exposed to virus and bacteria and not so likely to be infected by other children. Another reason may be that, since stress has been shown to have a negative effect on the immune system, high stress levels may be weakening the city children. The Forest School children, on the other hand are in a pleasant, natural, fun and less stressful environment.

1What kind of activities do the Forest School children have?

A. Activities usually played by braver kids.

B. Activities which are designed for adults.

C. Gradeimproving activities.

D. Activities with fun and a certain level of danger.

2The Forest School children are more able to concentrate because ________.

A. they have more interesting things to do

B. they are accompanied by adults

C. they are not disturbed so often

D. they are playing in small groups

3What does the last paragraph intend to tell us?

A. Why the Forest School children are healthier.

B. The Forest School children have a healthy diet.

C. What affects the city children.

D. Why the Forest School children have less stress.

4Which of the following best describes the Forest School children?

A. Free and wild.

B. Confident and happy.

C. Polite and calm.

D. Strong and adventurous.
