But a New Jersey-based company, called Terracycle, has taken on the challenge, and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette ends and turn them into industrial plastic products. Its aim is to recycle things that people normally consider impossible to reuse.‎ Obviously it would be even better for the environment if everyone just stopped smoking, but the statistics show that although there has been an increase in anti-smoking ads and posters, between 2000 and 2014, global sales of cigarettes increased by 8 percent, and a whole lot of those cigarette ends ended up as trash: Since most of our litter eventually ends up in waterways, cigarette ends can surely pollute the surrounding environment. "It only takes a single cigarette end to pollute a liter of water," Temacycle’s founder, Tom Swak, said. "Animals can also mistake cigarette ends littered for food."‎ So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful? Terracycle ‎ does this by first breaking them down into separate parts. They mix the remaining materials, such as the tobacco and the paper, with other kinds of rubbish, and use it on non-agricultural land, such as golf courses. The filters(过滤嘴)are a little harder. To recycle these, Terracycle first makes them clean and cuts them into small pieces, and then combines them with other recycled materials, making them into liquid for industrial plastic products.‎ They’re now also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 80 percent of household waste that currently can’t be recycled, such as chocolate packaging, pens, and mobile phones. The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in landfills, and then get companies to provide money for the process. And now, it works well.‎ ‎"We haven’t found anything that we can’t recycle," communications director of Terracycle, Albe Zakes, said. "But with the amount and varieties of packaging and litter in the world, we are always looking for new waste streams to address."‎ ‎24. What does Terracycle intend to do?‎ A. Search for recyclable materials for use.‎ B. Deal with as many cigarette ends as possible.‎ C. Produce new kinds of industrial plastic products.‎ D. Recycle what used to be considered unrecyclable.‎ ‎25. What does the underlined word "trash" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ A. Rubbish. B. Poison. C. Disaster. D. Ruin.‎ ‎26. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?‎ A. The effective use of cigarette ends. B. The process of recycling cigarette ends.‎ C. The difficulty in recycling cigarette ends. D. The reason for breaking down cigarette ends.‎ ‎27. What do Albe’s words in the last paragraph imply?‎ A. There is more and more waste to be recycled.‎ B. It is difficult for Terracycle to recycle everything.‎ C. Terracycle is trying to meet the challenge of new waste.‎ D. Terracycle has successfully recyeled a large amount of waste.‎ C In March 2013, on a rainy night, my partner Reece remembered that he had forgotten a box in his car and went out to get it. On his way back inside he noticed a small shadow moving on the ‎ driveway. As Reece moved towards the shadow, he realised it was a young hedgehog(刺稍), all wet in the grass, eating mud. He quickly removed his jacket and picked it up. The hedgehog was very weak and unable to move about quickly. He didn’t seem to be frightened, nor did he resist being lifted.‎ Once inside, Reece called out to me, saying that he had something that would make my heart melt -he was right! We named the hedgehog Alf, and this little creature was amazingly intelligent. Not only did he learn to eat his dinner and drink water from his bowls, and use a paper-covered mat for his "business", but he also learnt to wait for us inside his little indoor house and also jump into his pet carrier whenever we took him out with us. Alf knows us very well and recognises both our voices.‎ Unfortunately, in April 2014, 1 was caught in a car accident and had to spend two months in Auckland City Hospital. And I really missed Alf. Reece told me that Alf had been searching around the house for me, checking in places where I’d normally be, such as my desk, my favourite seat in front of the TV and even my side of the bed.‎ One evening, Reece set up a video call for me from my hospital bed and I was extremely happy when I saw the little guy appear on my phone. When I told Alf that I would be home soon, he started moving his head and holding out his arms as if trying to reach me through the screen.‎ The fact that Alf recognised that it was me, gave me the strength to get through my recovery. I cannot describe the feeling when I arrived home and saw his little face again.‎ ‎28. How was the hedgehog when he was found?‎ A. He was pitiful. B. He was scared. C. He was spirited. D. He was aggressive.‎ ‎29. What did Alf do when the author was in hospital?‎ A. He fell seriously ill. B. He learnt to play games.‎ C. He attempted to find her. D. He made a mess of the house.‎ ‎30. What do we know from the last two paragraphs?‎ A. Alf was trained as an actor. B. Alf showed the author a video.‎ C. Alf helped lift the author’s spirits. D. Alf kept the author company in hospital.‎ ‎31. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Alf saves the day B. An unfortunate accident C. Hedgehog hugs and kisses D. Clever pets, human friends D There’s a lot of confusion around exercising and eating. What should you eat before you work out? What about after? How long should you wait to eat? How will all of this benefit your goal of losing more fat? Scientists have now answered one important question.‎ In a new study researchers had a group of overweight males walk for one hour on an empty stomach, and then had them walk again for 2 hours on another day after eating a good breakfast. The researchers collected their blood samples after eating or fasting(禁食)as well as after exercising. They also took fat samples directly before and directly following an hour of walking.‎ The results showed differences in gene expression of the fat tissue in the two tests. The two genes they looked at, PDK4 and HSL, increased as a result of the volunteers fasting and exercising, and decreased when they ate before exercising. The researchers believe that the rise in PDK4 likely shows that stored fat was used to fuel metabolism(新陈代谢)during exercise, and that HSL increased when the fat tissue used stored energy to benefit an increase in exercise.‎ According to Dylan Thompson, an author of the study, the results support the viewpoint that "fat tissue often faces competing challenges". "For example," he says, "after eating the body is busy responding to the meal, and a short period of exercise at this time will not cause the same beneficial changes in fat tissue."‎ How long do you have to decline food to meet their definition of "fasting"? Thompson says, "The best advice would be to make sure that your last meal was 4 hours before exercise to get the effect that we reported."‎ ‎32. What is the focus of the study?‎ A. How we can avoid getting fat. B. When we can eat after exercising.‎ C. What we should eat to lose weight. D. Whether we should eat before or after exercise.‎ ‎33. What is the finding of the study?‎ A. Exercising before eating helps lose fat.‎ B. Eating a good breakfast helps us exercise better.‎ C. An hour of exercising is necessary for weight loss.‎ D. Fasting is better than exercising for burning off stored fat.‎ ‎34. What does Thompson mainly want to say in Paragrapoh4?‎ A. It’s very difficult to burn off stored fat. B. Fat can easily get stored in our bodies.‎ C. We face many challenges when exercising. D. Exercising after eating can’t burn stored fat.‎ ‎35. What does the underlined word "decline" in the last paragraph probably mean?‎ A. Share B. Store C. Refuse D. Prepare 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ I’m an ironworker in New York City, one of 100 or so ironworkers who are now working on the steel frame(框架)of a new building in Times Square. 36 Many of today’s ironworkers are descendants(后代)of the men who built New York’s first high buildings.

I spotted an empty place and walked there. Just as I put my tray(餐盘) down, I felt a bump against my hip. The tray dropped on the table and the soup spilled all over my camp shirt and jeans. And I heard a burst of laughter.‎ ‎"Can’t you look where you are going, you clumsy fool!" I shouted, glaring at the troublemaker, a tall boy with wild hair.‎ ‎"Sorry! Can’t help laughing! You look so funny!" said the boy, bending over with laughter. I was too annoyed to respond and just walked away to change my clothes.‎ The next morning, we all assembled for roll-call(点名), when I saw the same boy run out of the dorm, with his unbuttoned shirt flying behind him. Before he could slide into his place, he was spotted by the Camp Commandant. As a punishment for being late, he was made to do a hundred push-ups. As I walked past him later, I let out a loud laugh, saying, "Sorry. I can’t help laughing. You look so funny."‎ So the war of words continued in the following three days with the wild-haired boy, whose name, I found out, was Ben.‎ A mountain hike marked the last day of the camp. On the way back, I found myself left far behind my team. Soon, they were out of sight. The camp site was a long way away and I was getting anxious as night fell. I risked taking a short-cut(近路)clinging to the mountain side, but suddenly, I tripped off the path and slid right down the slope(斜坡).‎ Fortunately, my fall was stopped by a bunch of bamboo. I saw I was about ten meters below the track. There was no way I could climb up the slope as evidently I had my ankle broken. After making several vain attempts, I waited hopelessly. It got dark and I became increasingly afraid.‎ Paragraph 1:‎ Then, I saw a faint light, and heard a voice calling out my name. ‎ ‎ ‎ Paragraph 2:‎ The next day, as we were boarding the buses which would take us back to our own homes Ben came up to me. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ 听力 ‎1-5 ACBAB 6-10 CAACA 11-15 BCABA 16-20 CBAAC 阅读理解 ‎21-23 DBD 24--27 DABC 28-31 ACCC 32—35 DADC 七选五 ‎36-40 EBAFC 完形填空 ‎41-45 BABDC 46-50 BCACB 51-55 DBDAC 语法填空 ‎56 in 57 surveyed 58 videos 59 which/ that 60 unforgettable 61 was interviewed 62 Although/Though/While 63. a 64 how 65 have adopted 应用文写作 Dear Peter,‎ Our school will hold an environment protection activity entitled “Our Earth, Our Home” in our school stadium this Saturday.

Scared and exhausted, I could couldn’t help thinking that maybe the campers wouldn’t find me and I would die alone in the ‎ mountain. Finally, I heard " There he is. I was saved, thank goodness! I told them that I had hurt my ankle, and they helped me slowly back to the camp. The next day I was going home for treatment.‎ paragraph 2‎ The next day, as we were boarding the buses which would take us back to our own homes, Ben came up to me. He said, “This isn’t funny at all. I hope you will get better soon. " "Thank you. I hope we can be friends from now on. "I said. So the battle between me and the wild-haired boy was over, and a new friendship between us started.‎
