D. it is held every Wednesday.‎ B Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.‎ The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.‎ Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.‎ But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.‎ There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.‎ ‎24．What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to?‎ A. Using too much packaging. B. Recycling too many wastes.‎ C. Making more products than necessary. D. Having more material than is needed.‎ ‎25．The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _______.‎ A. the tendency of cutting household waste B. the increase of packaging recycling C. the rapid growth of supermarkets D. the fact of packaging overuse ‎26．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?‎ A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.‎ B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.‎ C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.‎ D. Other products are better packaged than food.‎ ‎27．What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.‎ B. Needless material is mostly recycled.‎ C. People like collecting recyclable waste.‎ D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.‎ C When the sand began kicking up and hitting our faces, I started to worry that maybe we had made a mistake.‎ That afternoon, my dad had stood on the deck (露台) of our home and laughed as our neighbors packed up their cars and headed inland. They left to spend the night in motels or at friends’ homes that were out of range of approaching summer storm.‎ Challenging the weather that threatened to damping our spirits, we lit a fire on the beach. Dad told jokes and we had a good time. When it was 6:30 p.m., all laughter disappeared. Our eyes were drawn to the sky. A tornado (龙卷风) was headed straight for us! In a flash, we were all on our feet. The wind started screaming and now we were running to the cottage. My mom stopped next to the front door. “Where can we go?” She shouted at my dad.‎ Most cottages on this part of Lake Michigan had been built without basements. Ours was no exception. The huge windows and the cottage itself wouldn’t offer safety from high wind.‎ ‎“Follow me!” my dad yelled. We crawled (爬) beneath the deck, pressing ourselves against the foundation of the cottage. Between the deck supports, we watched the approaching storm in silent terror.‎ My dad shouted, “Hold on!” and something else I couldn’t hear over the screaming wind. I think he was praying. By the time it reached our cottage, it was nothing more than a strong wind. The rest of the storm lasted for an hour and then simply blew away.‎ ‎“Next time, we’ll stay inland at Grandma’s. Okay?” my dad said.‎ ‎28. What did the family do before the storm came?‎ A. They left the motels. B. They packed up the cars. ‎ C. They stayed on the beach. D. They visited their neighbors.‎ ‎29. What was the family’s immediate action when they saw the tornado approach?‎ A. Closing their eyes tightly. B. Praying in silent terror.‎ C. Crawling on the ground. D. Running away at once.‎ ‎30. Where did the family stay in the storm?‎ A. Under a deck. B. In a basement. ‎ C. Inside the car. D. Behind a door.‎ ‎31. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Life on the beach B. An Unusual Cottage ‎ C. Surviving a Storm D. My Admirable Family D Global GDP in 2030 will be 14% higher as a result of AI(Artificial Intelligence), thanks to improving labor productivity and increasing consumer demand, says a report.‎ The report could increase the enthusiasm of economic policymakers and the public, and ‎ show the power of technology in changing not only people’s daily lives, but also economic activities. However, history tells us that, while technological advancements have brought us benefits, they have also led to great social disorders, by changing the production and labor structures, and forcing many workers to either adapt to the changes or lose their jobs. In the 18th century, for instance, skilled workers rose up to resist the Industrial Revolution, destroying machinery in the early 19th century. We may not see similar protests today, but history should serve as a warning against the application of AI technology.‎ While we may gain a lot of benefits from AI, we must work out plans to reduce its negative effect on society, especially for workers. AI can raise productivity and expand GDP, but it can also make non-adaptive workers jobless. In India, some technology personnel have already felt the negative effect of information technology. As technology industries across the world seek increasing support from automation（自动操作）, robotics and big data analysis, some technology workers have already lost their jobs.‎ In their 2013 research study, Michael Osborne and Carl Frey from Oxford University estimated 47% of the jobs in the United States are “at risk” of being automated in the next 20 years. They said jobs in transportation and office and administrative support are at high risk of being automated. And Kaifu Lee recently said that robots could take away about 50% of all jobs from humans in the next decade.‎ Those estimates may sound sensational and the impact of technological advancements may not be that serious, as they will also create jobs in new industries. However, policymakers should consider how to better embrace the technological wave to bring benefits while taking action to minimize its negative effects. The government therefore needs to work together with business leaders and social organizations, to promote training programs for potentially helpless workers, in order to make them more capable of adapting to the structural changes in industries and job markets in the future.‎ ‎32．Paragraph 2 mainly wants to tell us that technological advancements have ________.‎ A. brought us a lot of benefits B. improved our daily lives C. caused some social problems D. led to great unemployment ‎33．We can learn from the passage that ________.‎ A. the government should discover people’s potentials B. technology workers are more likely to survive AI technology C. we should take action to meet the challenge of the AI technology D. most workers are willing to accept the changes brought by AI technology ‎34．The underlined word “sensational” in the last paragraph probably means______.‎ A. shocking B. powerful C. inspiring D. wonderful ‎35．The passage is intended to ________.‎ A. warn us against the negative effects of AI technology B. present the good and bad effects of AI technology C. inform us of the development of AI technology D. arouse people’s enthusiasm for AI technology 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。‎ Memory loss can occur to anyone. If you are unable to take good care of your memory, then chances are that you will suffer from memory loss at a very young age. 36 ．‎ Stress is a state of mental or emotional fatigue(疲劳). 37 ．This is the reason why we fail to remember or learn new things when we are mentally stressed. To prevent stress-related loss of memory and learning ability, one has to find the factors that increase stress and anxiety and deal with them.‎ If you exercise on a regular basis, your body will become stronger over time. 38 .As your brain does more exercise, it gets healthier and works better.

However, many people neglect the importance of doing so. Also, always include healthy foods in your daily diet that can improve your memory, such as blueberries, spinach and broccoli.‎ These are just some of the causes of memory loss. At present, experts are unable to tell exactly what the main reason leading to memory loss is. This is because there could be many reasons leading to it, such as environmental factors.

A study says it is more dangerous than texting while driving. Researchers found that there are more 61 (injure) to texting pedestrians (行人) than there are to texting motorists. Their report says walking is not as easy 62 we think. We must focus on many things at the same time to walk safely in a straight line. The researchers said that people forget how to walk 63 (proper), so dangerous things happen to them. They bump into walls and other people. They walk into cars, fall over things in the street, and even fall into holes 64 down stairs.‎ A professor said walking is a difficult action. There are several reasons 65 texting makes walking dangerous. 66 is that people cannot see the street. Another is that they focus on their phone keyboard instead of their feet. A final reason is that their minds are somewhere else — they are not thinking about 67 (walk) from A to B safely. The professor said over 6,000 people 68 (visit) his hospital last year because of texting. He said 69 worst cases are head damage. When a pedestrian is tossed into the air he/she has nothing 70 (protect) the head.
