They are almost never recycled, and simply contribute to the great problem of plastic pollution; eight million tons of plastic is dumped into the oceans every year.‎ Plastic straws are now the target of a growing movement to reduce their use. Possibly the first of such campaigns, Be Straw Free was started in 2011 by Milo Cress, who was only nine years old at hat time.‎ ‎“I noticed that whenever I ordered a drink at a restaurant, it would usually ‎ come with a straw in it, and I don’ I usually need a straw,” he said. “This seemed like a huge waste. Straws are made of oil, a precious and finite resource. Is making single use plastic straws, which will be used for a matter of minutes before being tossed away, really what we want to do with this resource?”‎ Cress started asking restaurants in Burlington, Vermont, where he lived at the time, to stop providing straws automatically to customer and make them optional instead. Many agreed and his request made ripples (涟漪) nationwide. The restaurants that make the switch report a reduction in the number of straws they use between 50 and 80%.‎ The anti-straw sentiment has crossed borders into the UK, where straws have been included in a government plan to ban ail plastic waste by 2042.‎ Last year large pub chain Wetherspoons announced that it would replace plastic straws with paper alternatives across 900 outlets. After the announcement, many smaller chains and pubs across the country followed suit. According to Wetherspoons CEO John Hutson, the move will save 70 million plastic straws a year and the reaction from patrons has been “very positive”. ‎ Offering alternatives or making plastic straws optional, rather than banning them completely, is a common trait among these campaigns. “There are many other viable alternatives to single use plastic drinking straws that are less harmful to the environment, wildlife and humans,” said Jackie Nunez, founder of The Last Plastic Straw.‎ ‎24. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?‎ A. Plastic straws are too costly to produce.‎ B. All plastic straws are dumped into the sea.‎ C. Plastic straws are too small to be recycled.‎ D. Plastic straws cause great pollution.‎ ‎25. What did Milo Cress ask his local restaurants to do?‎ A. To make plastic straws optional. B. To stop the use of plastic straws.‎ C. To charge the use of plastic straws. D. To reject the request for ‎ plastic straws.‎ ‎26. What is the Wetherspoons’ effort to reduce the use of plastic straws?‎ A. To ban the use of plastic straws. B. To close some of its outlets.‎ C. To offer customers alternatives. D. To seek the government’s support.‎ ‎27. What is the Wetherspoons customers’ attitude towards the move?‎ A. Uncaring. B. Favorable. C. Critical D. Disapproving.‎ C I recently posted a picture on Facebook from the movie Mad Max, a film where two groups race through the desert in steam punk vehicles, and wrote, “Actual picture of my way to work today.” It was meant to be a joke because of the sandstorms in Beijing, but one of my friends from back home thought it was real.‎ I couldn’t imagine how they could think that is actually what China is like. China has so many more conveniences and advantages than the West, and many of my friends agree. “I don’t know how I will be able to deal when I go back home,” said a friend who is about to end her gap year in Beijing. “I’ve become so spoiled in China. China seems to be leading the way in innovation and convenience for daily life. Back home I could never shop, pull out my phone and scan a QR code to pay.‎ There have been rumors of starting bike sharing in my hometown for years with little success while bike sharing suddenly appeared in Beijing overnight. I just step outside and scan a code, and I am on my way. Going out to eat with a group of friends back home was troublesome for both the group and the servers. Splitting checks and swiping(刷) 10 different cards or making change for each person in the group can be a pain. But with China’s WeChat, you can quickly send your friends your part of the bill. The list goes on…‎ When I first arrived in Beijing, I was dead set on leaving in a month. That month has come and gone. Now, when someone asks me when I’m coming back, I think to myself, “Who knows?” With all the conveniences and technology here, I may never want to go back.‎ ‎28. What’s the function of Paragraph 1?‎ A. To introduce a movie. B. To introduce the topic.‎ C. To tell an interesting story. D. To show the weather in Beijing.‎ ‎29. How did the author feel when he first came to Beijing?‎ A. He didn’t want to stay long.‎ B. He couldn’t stand the weather.‎ C. He never wanted to go back home.‎ D. He was amazed at the bike sharing.‎ ‎30. What can we infer from the text?‎ A. China is the first country to start bike sharing.‎ B. The author has become used to mobile payment in China.‎ C. People always use WeChat to pay when eating out in the US.‎ D. The author’s friends all know the convenience of living in China.‎ ‎31. What does the text intend to tell us?‎ A. Bike sharing has spread all over China.‎ B. Foreigners have misunderstandings of China.‎ C. Life in foreign countries is not as easy as we thought.‎ D. Technology has brought much convenience in China.‎ D As self-driving cars come closer to being common on American roads, much of the rhetoric (说辞) promoting them has to do with safety. About 40,000 people die on U. S. roads every year, and driver errors are linked to more than 90 percent of crashes. But many of the biggest advocates(拥护者) of autonomous vehicles aren’t car companies which are willing to improve the safety of their existing products. In fact, huge support for self-driving technologies is coming from Silicon Valley giants like Google and Apple.‎ Those of us who have studied the relationship between technology and society tend to look more carefully at the motivations behind any technological push. In this case, it’s clear that, in addition to addressing safety concerns, Silicon Valley firms have a strong incentive (动机) to create a new venue for increasing the use of their ‎ digital devices. Every minute people pay money to tech companies for providing the data of their mobile phones. Still, money is their first concern.‎ At present, digital devices and driving are in conflict: there are serious, often fatal, consequences when drivers use smartphones to talk or to text. Regulators and safety advocates look to resolve the conflict by banning phone use while driving, which has happened in virtually every state. But the tech companies are taking a different approach. The obvious answer for Silicon Valley is creating an antomobile in which continuous cellphone use no longer poses a threat to anyone.‎ In recent years, the amount of time adults spend on their mobile devices has grown rapidly. At the moment, it’s around four hours a day for the average adult in the U. S. However, that rapid growth is likely to slow down as people run out of time that’s available for them to use their devices. Unless, of course, there’s a new block of time that suddenly opens up. The average American now spends about 48 minutes in a car every day, a sizable opportunity for increased cellphone use.‎ So as the public conversation around autonomous cars highlights the safety advantages, don’t forget the tech industry ’ s powerful desire for more profits, which goes well beyond simply saving us from ourselves.‎ ‎32. Who are responsible for most traffic accidents in America?‎ A. Car companies. B. Tech companies.‎ C. Drivers. D. Self-driving cars.‎ ‎33. What is Silicon Valley’s motive for promoting self-driving technologies?‎ A. To make more money. B. To reduce traffic accidents.‎ C. To limit the use of digital devices. D. To support car companies.‎ ‎34. What is the present solution to the conflict between digital devices and driving?‎ A. Teaching people traffic rules. B. Improving self-driving technologies.‎ B. Fixing digital devices in cars. D. Banning phone use while driving. ‎ ‎35. What does the underlined phrase “a new block of time” possibly refer to?‎ A. The working time. B. People’s spare time.‎ C. The time spent in the car. D. The time spent on mobile devices.‎ 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。‎ How similar are language and music?‎ Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. 36 Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities.‎ ‎• Both language and music have a writing system.‎ In English we record language by using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music. 37 By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago.‎ ‎• 38 ‎ You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation.‎ ‎• Both share emotion.‎ ‎ 39 Of course you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share in that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness. 40 I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.‎ A. Both are expressive.‎ B Both vary with culture.‎ C How do you know that I am angry?‎ D. We use language to express our thoughts.‎ E. So just as you read English, you can read music.‎ F. Similarly, music is part of many people’s lives.‎ G. In contrast, you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down.‎ 第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20 小题，每小题1.5分 ，满分30分）‎ When most of us get a text message on our cell phone from an unknown person, we usually say “sorry, 41 number!” and move on.
