Sneakers (运动鞋) Made from Old Chewing Gum Dutch fashion and shoe label Explicit Wear is hoping to solve one of life’s sticky situations—the annoyance of stepping in waste chewing gum on the pavement—while helping to keep Amsterdam’s city streets clean. The brand has partnered with local marketing organization Iamsterdam and sustainability firm Gumdrop 【1】(create) a limited edition sneaker for adults made from recycled gum collected from the city’s pavements. Chewing gum causes an incredibly serious ecological problem,【2】it is made from plastics that do not biodegrade ( 生物降解). It’s also the second 【3】(common) form of roadside litter, after cigarette ends. An incredible 3.3 million pounds of gum are incorrectly thrown away on the sidewalks each year,【4】(cost) the city millions of dollars to clean up. Gumdrop plans to collect waste gum from the streets of Amsterdam, clean them, and turn them into Gum-Tec, the material that forms the base of the shoe. The waste gum will be put to good use to make stylish kicks,【5】will also raise awareness for the anti-littering cause.【6】(price) at around $332, the shoes will come into the market sometime next month. Available for preorder now, the new Gumshoe sneakers—offered in both a bubblegum pink and a black/red colorway— 【7】 (feature) long-lasting rubber outsoles (鞋子外底) shaped from recyclable compounds produced by Gumdrop, 20 percent of which are made from gum. Nearly 2.2 pounds of gum 【8】(use) in every four pairs of shoes. A map of Amsterdam is made into the bottom of the soles to remind people of the littering problem. Even better, the sneakers actually still smell like bubblegum,【9】the annoying stickiness. Just as good as any sneaker with a rubber sole, the Gumshoes help get chewing gum off our streets and keep the dangerously non-biodegradable substance out of our eco-system. To help spread their sustainability message,【10】Gumshoe’s creators are hoping to do is to expand their project to other major cities around the world.

Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. In most democracies today, people expect women to vote. Women are just as able to make decisions about their 【1】 leaders as men. But 200 years ago, most people didn't think so. As late as the middle of the 19 century only men voted in most Western countries. A few countries or states let women vote in local elections. But women voting was far from 【2】. At that time, people believed that women belonged in the home. That meant they should not get involved with public life. But women in Europe, North America and New Zealand began 【3】 this situation. They believed that they should have a(n) 【4】 in their government's leaders. In 1792 an English novelist named Mary Wollstonecraft 【5】that women should be able to vote, In the United States, Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were important figures. They met while campaigning to put a(n) 【6】 to slavery. In the process, they decided that women also should have more 【7】. Yet despite the 【8】 of these women neither Great Britain nor the United States was the first country to let women vote. That honor goes to New Zealand, which changed their law on September 19, 1893. This was because of women like Kate Shepherd. She led a group that presented petitions(请愿书) to their parliament three years in a row. Shepherd is now honored on New Zealand's s10 bill. New Zealand was followed by Australia in 1902 and Finland in 19 zero six. By this time, some U.S. states and territories allowed women to vote. But the country as a whole didn't give women the right until after World War I. In many countries, the right to hold political office came along with the right to vote. And women have 【9】 that right. In many countries, women have even held their country's highest office. All of that is due to the efforts of women who fought for a(n) 【10】 voice

Some forests in four regions in California, Colorado, the Northern Rockies and the southwestern part of the United States have crossed 'a(n) ___________ climate tipping(转折)point for post-fire tree generation, ' the study says. Climate conditions over the past 20 years have _____________ changes that would have taken decades or even centuries to ___________ across broad regions of the country. This is leading to the sudden _____________ of trees and making these lands increasingly unsuitable for tree regeneration. 'Climate changes is _____________ our forests now, not just in some distant future.

Suddenly Uncle Henry stood up. “There’s a cyclone coming, Em,” he called to his wife. “I’ll go look after the stock.” Then he ran toward the sheds where the cows and horses were kept. Aunt Em dropped her work and came to the door. One glance told her of the danger close at hand. “Quick, Dorothy!” she screamed. “Run for the cellar!” Toto jumped out of Dorothy’s arms and hid under the bed, and the girl started to get him. Aunt Em, badly frightened, threw open the trap door in the floor and climbed down the ladder into the small, dark hole. Dorothy caught Toto at last and started to follow her aunt. When she was halfway across the room there came a great roar from the wind, and the house shook so hard that she lost her footing and sat down suddenly upon the floor. Then a strange thing happened. The house circled around two or three times and rose slowly through the air. Dorothy felt as if she were going up in a balloon. It was very dark, and the wind blew horribly around her, but Dorothy found she was riding quite easily. After the first few twists and turns, and one other time when the house tipped badly, she felt as if she were being rocked gently, like a baby in a cradle (摇篮). Toto did not like it. He ran about the room, now here, now there, barking loudly; but Dorothy sat quite still on the floor and waited to see what would happen. At last she crawled over the swinging floor to her bed, and lay down upon it; and Toto followed and lay down beside her. In spite of the swinging of the house and the crying of the wind, Dorothy soon closed her eyes and fell fast asleep. 【1】What does the underlined word “cyclone” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A.deadline B.flood C.monster D.tornado 【2】Why did Aunt Em go into the hole in the floor when the cyclone approached? A.To find the puppy Toto. B.To find shelter from the cyclone. C.To protect their fortune. D.To get tools to help Henry. 【3】Which of the following is True about Dorothy? A.She managed to control the house. B.She found herself flying in a balloon. C.She turned baby crying loudly. D.She remained undisturbed with Toto. 【4】Which words can be used to describe Dorothy in the emergency? A.Afraid and brave. B.Curious and tired. C.Flexible and calm. D.Excited and thrilled.

___________: 6 Tricks to Improve Your Life 1.Stop Early Meows(Pets) With the longer days and the birds sing at the crack of dawn, your kitten is likely an early riser now. Should you feed him when he meows? That will just encourage his inappropriate new habit. Instead, install blackout shades or blinds to block the sun. Then stick to strict feeding times:once before you leave in the morning and once shortly before you go to bed. 2. Keep Fruits and Veggies Fresh(Food) Most refrigerators have crisper drawers with adjustable vents that you can close to reduce airflow (and create more humidity) or open(to lower the humidity). The best way to extend the life of your fruits and vegetables is to set one drawer at low humidity and use it for anything that rots easily, such as peaches and melons. Set the other drawer at high humidity to store thin-skinned or leafy vegetables such as lettuce and fresh herbs. 3. Let Your Computer Breathe(Technology) “Don't put your computer on the carpet or up against a wall,” warns Ben Carmitchel , CEO of Data recovery. com. “Doing so can cause heat to build up, and if it can't melt away, it can damage the hard drive and other components.” 4. Create a Corkscrew( ) There are few things in life more frustrating than finding yourself with a nice bottle of wine to drink—but no corkscrew. The next time that happens, take out your house keys and drive one of them into the cork at 45-degree angle until it is all the way in. Slowly twist the key around and up, until you are able to hold the cork and pull it out. Cheers! 5. Stop a Radiator Leak(Auto) A heat wave has hit town, and your old car radiator isn't too happy about it. If it suddenly overheats and you think the cause is a pinhole leak, pepper can provide a short-term solution.Simply pour a handful of ground pepper into the radiator. That will temporarily plug the leak and likely won't cause any damage to your car until you can get it to a mechanic for repair . 6. Take a Photo of Your Passport(Travel) It may be your most important document, but travel blogger Suzanna advises against carrying your passport every day while you're travelling."I take a photo of my passport and keep it in my e-mail drafts folder so I can access it if needed," she explains."When shopping and filling out tax reclaim forms, I've used the photo in stores without an issue." 【1】Which of the following can best fill in the blank in the 4th paragraph? A.Health B.Entertaining C.Decoration D.Communication 【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.Once your pet cat becomes an early riser , you should feed him immediately . B.Pepper can save you the trouble of further repair by solving the leak of your car. C.You'd better switch your computer off to prevent the over-heating of it D.It's recommended that food be classified and stored accordingly in your fridge . 【3】Which of the following can best complete the title of the passage? A.We Played a Trick B.We Invented a Thing C.We Found a Fix D.We Created a Masterpiece

Climate emergencies are a bit like buses. You wait an age for one and then three come along at once. Parliaments in the UK and Ireland passed motions declaring a climate emergency in May. Last Monday, Canada followed suit. It isn’t just parliament sounding the alarm. “This is a climate emergency,” said U.N. climate chief Patricia Espinosa for the first time last Tuesday. Hours earlier, James Bevan of England’s Environment Agency and Vince Cable, the leader of the U.K.’s Liberal Democrats, also used the phrase. They join a cast of high-profile public figures already on the bus, from UK opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn to UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres. But how did the language of climate change campaigners jump to the lips of the establishment, and should we welcome its seemingly unstoppable adoption? Does this language make a difference? A day after Canada’s climate emergency motion, it approved a £4.4 billion oil pipeline. Bristol City Council in the UK also declared a climate emergency, yet the city’s mayor subsequently backed expansion of the local airport. Nothing changed on UK streets after parliament declared a climate emergency, notes former Labour Party leader Ed MIliband. “This silent response to an alarm that we ourselves have sounded symbolizes the challenge we face,” he wrote. _______?_______ Mike Hulme at the University of Cambridge argues against the phrase because it implies “time-limited radical(激进的)” action could end the emergency, when climate change is actually a “new condition of human existence.” Some, HUlme included, also fear the language may cause counterproductive responses. Bur Roz Pidcock of communication organization Climate Outreach says a climate emergency “suggests a response that is very radical in scale and ambition, but not incautious or knee-jerk(本能的),” and certainly not a license for extreme measure like geoengineering the climate. Despite the risk of phrase being devalued, Rebecca Willis at Lancaster University in the U.K. tells me it is still useful ---and that’s because it is true. As Spratt says, “You cannot solve a problem unless you name it for exactly what it is.” Getting politicians to adopt the language will also be crucial to holding them to tough policy decisions later, says Doug Parr of Greenpeace. The phrase’s widespread adoption isn’t a problem. The lack of action equivalent to such language is. And that action is going to include a lot of silently gliding electric buses. 【1】Which of the following sentences may best end Paragraph 4? A.We should strive to stimulate people’s initiative. B.The use of “climate emergency” highlights the challenge. C.Such a mismatch risks making the term meaningless. D.There are many people against the use of the phrase. 【2】It can be inferred from the passage that Mike Hulme thinks that ______. A.climate change call for deliberate consideration before action is taken B.immediate action should be taken to put climate emergency to an end C.the phrase “climate emergency” may lead to the opposite consequences D.people all over the world have been accustomed to climate change 【3】Which of the following arguments can be used in favour of the phrase “climate emergency”?. A.Extreme measures will be taken to address the issue of climate change B.The use of the phrase may contribute to substantial policymaking. C.The phrase will make no sense unless practical solutions are found. D.Less attention is paid to the phrase though it reflects a true story. 【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the phrase “climate emergency”? A.Negative B.Optimistic C.Indifferent D.Objective

California Preps for Fire Season WINDSOR, Calif—Grass and other vegetation have begun to cover the ash left behind when the largest blaze of the 2019 wildfire season burned the edge of this Northern California town about four months ago. 【1】 Unlike in other dangerous California blazes, including 2018's Camp Fire that destroyed the town of Paradise, first responders were able to focus entirely on the firefight rather than last-minute rescues. “It's not an accident that Windsor got saved,” Mayor Dominic Foppoli said. “We went through 2017. We watched it happen again in Paradise.” 【2】 The state's wet winter months have become a critical time for officials and residents hoping to protect themselves from a fire season that starts earlier and ends later than ever Some are organizing mass-evacuation drills and hosting events to help businesses and residents design emergency plans. 【3】 In Northern California, the communities of Orinda, Moraga and Lafayette banded together to build a 19-mile fuel break meant to slow a disastrous blaze from spreading into neighborhoods from nearby hills. Forecasters expect warmer and drier weather in California heading into spring, which could cause grasses to dry out and lead to an earlier than normal start to this year's fire season.【4】 "We have indicators that we're drying out already," said Scott McLean, a spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire. A.The season used to take off around June but has been starting earlier and earlier for the past few years. B.With deadly and destructive wildfires burning every season, California communities are preparing for the worst. C.Firefighters in the area were challenged by constantly shifting winds and narrow, winding roadways. D.Windsor still stands because most of its residents grabbed pre-packed emergency go-bags and evacuated immediately when ordered E.A few days later. Windsor officials stood roadside with signs to welcome residents back. F.Many also are reconsidering building codes and emphasizing the need to create defensible spaces by limiting flammables around homes and businesses

Directions : Read the following passage . Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60words. Use your own words as far as possible. Youth in the 21st Century It seems that everyone is talking negatively about the "Youth of today", Every TV programme the subject shows threatening young people . It is hard to find anything that shows young people in a positive light . In this country we think the elderly suffer the greatest discrimination, but read any of the reports written on youth discrimination and anyone can see that young people are probably the largest group in society to be discriminated against. A recent survey undertaken by the Children's Rights Alliance for England (CRAE) shows that 49% of the 7 to 17-year-olds surveyed have experienced unfair treatment because of their age. Around a quarter of them say they are treated unfairly during everyday activities. Shopkeepers routinely follow them around the shop or exclude them, bus drivers won't stop for them and when they are in groups, the police order them to move on. All of the young people I know are aware that modern society treats them unfairly . I've got two sons, aged 14 and 16, and both of them have been stopped from entering shops with their friends because there is a policy of only allowing two youths' in the shop at one time. Neither of them have a record of unruly behaviour and they hate the implication that all young people are potential thieves . I don't think either of my boys deserve such treatment - and from what they say none of their friends do either. There are more than 11 million under-18-year-olds in England and evidence shows that the vast majority positively participate within their communities, contributing to the arts, sports and achieving well at school. However, no TV programmes report that! Barbara Heam, Deputy Chief Executive of the National Children's Bureau, rightly says, Equality is for everyone, including for our youngest citizens. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
