    Bottled water is a drain on the environment: The US public goes through about 50 billion water bottles a year, and most of those plastic containers are not recycled, according to Elizabeth Royte’s book Bottlemania: How Water Went on Sale and Why We Bought It.

    Transporting the bottles and keeping them cold also burns fuels, which give off greenhouse gases. And groundwater pumping by bottled water companies draws heavily on underground aquifers(含水层) and harms watersheds(分水岭), according to the Sierra Club. And some studies suggest it takes up to three liters of water to produce one liter of bottled water.

    Yet more than $100 billion is spent every year on bottled water globally. In many cities in developing countries where there is not a safe source of tap water, bottled water becomes a trusted choice.

    In the US, tap water is controlled by the government and often examined for dangerous polluted substances. Each American drinks 79 liters of bottled water per year on average, according to the Columbia Water Center at Columbia University’s Earth Institute in New York. The bottled water industry is so successful that it has outpaced(超过) milk, coffee, and juice in the number of gallons of drinks sold — putting it behind only beer and soda.

    Though the sale and consumption (消费) of bottled water is still on the rise, certain policymakers have taken steps to reduce it and encourage people to drink tap water. In September 2009, the Australian town of Bundanoon became the first town in the world to completely ban bottled water from its stores’ shelves, building water fountains（喷泉） around the town instead.

    Among US cities that have taken action are San Francisco and Seattle, which no longer buy water for city use, and Chicago, which added a five-cent tax on each bottle. Several restaurants in those cities have also given up bottled water for tap water. Other cities are also considering taking action.

    1.What does the underlined word "drain" in the first paragraph probably mean?

    A. Value.B. Consumption.C. Solution.D. Relief (缓解).

    2.What is the second paragraph mainly about?

    A. Why bottled water is so popular.

    B. What Elizabeth Royte’s book is about.

    C. How much it takes to produce bottled water.

    D. What effects bottled water has on the environment.

    3.According to the passage, what drink sells best in the USA?

    A. BeerB. Bottled waterC. CoffeeD. Milk

    4.Which of the following statements about the US is TRUE?

    A. More than $100 billion is spent every year on bottled water in the US.

    B. About 79 billion water bottles a year are gone through by the US public.

    C. In Chicago, you have to pay 5 cents as tax if you buy a bottle of water.

    D. An American drinks 50 liters of bottled water every year on average.

    阅读理解。

    You wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!

    Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.

    Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.

    When you communicate with positive people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted．When the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that all in all, brings you down．

    Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or a relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person, but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.

    Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible．

    1.The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.

    A. make a comparisonB. offer an evidence

    C. describe a daily sceneD. introduce a topic

    2.How can negative people affect us?

    A. By changing our ways of thinking.

    B. By telling us the nature of life.

    C. By influencing our emotion.

    D. By comparing their attitudes to life with ours.

    3.Some negative people base their happiness on ________.

    A. making other people unhappy

    B. other people’s pity for them

    C. building up a positive attitude

    D. other people’s respect for them

    4.According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us，we are advised to ________.

    A. change negative people’s attitudes to life

    B. communicate with negative people as little as possible

    C. make negative people feel ashamed of themselves

    D. show our dissatisfaction to negative people

    Camels are large animals living in dry areas. There are two species of camels; the Arabian camel with a single hump(驼背) from the dry desert areas of West Asia, and the Bactrian camel with two humps from Central and East Asia. Camels are over 7 feet tall and weigh over 1,600 pounds. They will live up to 40 to 50 years. Most camels are domesticated(驯化) and fed by people. Camels are plant-eaters．

    Camels are very strong animals with wide, padded feet. They have thick leathery pads on their knees and chest. Camels have nostrils(鼻孔) that can open and close, protecting them from the desert environment. Bushy eyebrows and two rows of long eyelashes protect their eyes from sand. Their mouth is extremely tough, allowing camels to eat thorny(带刺的) desert plants. Their widened feet help them move without sinking into the sand. Their thick coats reflect sunlight, and also protect them from the intense heat from desert sand. Their long legs help by keeping them further from the hot ground.

    Camels can go without food and water for 3 to 4 days. They do not store water in their humps as is commonly believed．The humps are actually a container of fat. Camels are incredibly well-adapted to their environment. When conditions heat up, camels can increase their own body temperature, which prevents sweating and therefore water loss. They may not sweat at all during the day.

    Camels are sometimes called “ships of the desert” because people ride them around the hot, dry deserts of the world. However, the number of camels is becoming smaller for various reasons.

    1.According to the passage, camels usually live in ________.

    A. Asia B. Africa

    C. America D. Australia

    2.Paragraph 2 is mainly about ________.

    A. camels are useful animals

    B. camels are clever animals

    C. camels’ body structure and function

    D. camels’ characteristics and habits

    3.The reason why camels lose little water in deserts is that they ________.

    A. get water from green foods

    B. can adjust their temperature

    C. store enough water in the humps

    D. can manage without water

    4.What will the author probably talk about following the last paragraph?

    A. Ways to protect camels.

    B. Habitats of camels.

    C. Reasons for raising camels.

    D. Functions of camels.

    Children who spend more time outdoors may have a lower risk of becoming nearsighted, new research suggests.

    In the study, researchers looked at about 1,900 schoolchildren. The scientists found that the kids who had been instructed to spend more time outdoors over three years were 23 percent less likely to develop nearsightedness during this time than those who had not been instructed to spend more time outdoors. Moreover, among the kids who did become nearsighted during the study, the degree to which their eyesight worsened was slightly smaller among those who spent more time outdoors.

    The researchers selected six schools and required the children, whose average age was 7 at the start of the study, to attend one additional 60-minute class of outdoor activities during each school day for three years. The parents of these children were also encouraged to engage their children in outdoor activities after school, especially during weekends and holidays. The other half of the children, from another six schools, continued their usual activity patterns. After three years, 30.4 percent of the kids in the intervention(干预) group had become nearsighted, compared with 38.5 percent of the kids in the other group.

    It is not clear exactly why spending more time outside would benefit children’s eyesight, the researchers said. However, some research has suggested that the higher levels of light intensity found outdoors may increase the release of the chemical dopamine(多巴胺) of the eye. In turn, dopamine is known to restrain（抑制） the type of growth in the eye that is associated with nearsightedness.

    Based on the new results, the researchers recommend that children spend more time outdoors because of the potential benefits to their eyesight. However, it’s important to protect kids’ skin and eyes from UV light, which can be damaging.

    1.What did the children in the intervention group do during each school day?

    A. Attend an extra class of outdoor activities.

    B. Continue to do their usual activities.

    C. Spend one hour in doing eye exercises.

    D. Participate in outdoor activities with parents.

    2.What can be inferred about the chemical dopamine?

    A. It can contribute to poor sight. B. It can damage people’s brain

    C. It is beneficial to eyesight. D. It means low levels of light intensity.

    3.What may be discussed in the following paragraph?

    A. How to design outdoor activities for kids.

    B. How to prevent kids becoming nearsighted.

    C. How to protect kids’ skin and eyes from UV light.

    D. How to encourage kids to join in outdoor activities.

    4.Which can serve as the best title for the passage?

    A. The More Time Outdoors, the Better

    B. Kids May See Better if They Play Outside

    C. It’s Time to Engage Kids in Outdoor Activities

    D. Researchers Found a Cure for Nearsightedness

    On Saturday 17 September 2016, you may catch sight of hundreds of apes(猩猩) running around the streets of London. They’ll have been filming a new Planet of the Apes movie, you’ll probably think. But in fact, when the starter’s pistol sounds for the Great Gorilla Run next year, this highly popular event will have been raising money for thirteen years. People from all over the world will run, jog or walk 8 km in gorilla costumes through the capital’s streets, passing such iconic landmarks as The Tower of London and St Paul’s Cathedral. By the time the last ape crosses the finishing line, the runners will have raised millions for endangered species and education projects in Central Africa.

    Unusual charity events such as these are a huge trend for raising money for worthwhile causes. If, however, you’re looking to really like the idea of running through mud and freezing cold ice, then The Tough Mudder is perhaps what you’ve been searching for. In this difficult and tiring team event, participants finish a 10 to 12-mile barrier course that tests physical strength and mental courage. It’s more about friendship than winning. Over 150 such events worldwide have raised £5 million.

    But fundraising doesn’t have to involve physical effort. Students at a school in Illinois played Justin Bieber’s song ‘Baby’ over loudspeakers and urged fellow students to pay to stop the song. They needed to raise $1,000 in one week to achieve this. Beyond expectations, they exceeded(超过) the goal within three days. Even teachers chipped in.

    If you want to join the ranks of gorillas next September, you only have to pay £60 to register. This includes the gorilla suit, which you can keep. If you take part, not only will you have been helping the gorillas and people who depend on their habitat, you’ll never have to buy another set of fancy clothes again!

    1.What is the Great Gorilla Run held for?

    A. To film a new Planet of the Apes.

    B. To collect money for Central Africa.

    C. To make a study of the origin of man.

    D. To enjoy famous senic spots in London.

    2.What can we learn about the Tough Mudder?

    A. It is disgusting.B. It is unique.

    C. It is competitive.D. It is challenging.

    3.What does the phrase “chipped in” in the third paragraph refer to?

    A. Joined in singing.B. Made a contribution.

    C. Scolded the organizers.D. Interrupted the activity.

    4.Which can be a suitable title for the passage?

    A. Going Crazy for Charity!

    B. Protecting Our Rare Animals!

    C. Competing in Unusual Events!

    D. Watching Out for Aggressive Animals!

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    I’m one of your customer. I ordered a set of books on your website two weeks ago, but I didn’t received it until yesterday. And much to my disappointment, the books were too poorly packed up that the cover of one book were torn. To make matters worse, it is not a complete set, as I found one book missed.

    I’m sorry to have received such poorly service, and I believe I have every right ask you to deal with this problem. I hope you either return my money back or deliver a new set of books to me. Beside, I’d like to be informed of the process of your deal with my complaint.

    I’m looking forward to your reply.
