2 . For millions of years, the water we use today has been recycled (再循环) over and over by natural cycles that clean the water after we use it. But those natural cycles are no longer enough to clean all the waste that humans put into it, and our water has become polluted.

Man is polluting all water systems and the greatest concern is the pollution of our oceans (海洋). We are polluting the ocean in a number of ways. In fact, about 80 percent of ocean pollution has been caused by people on land. Besides the pollution from land, another 20 percent of pollution is from ocean-based activities.

First of all, large boats carrying oil cause much waste. In one recent year, our oceans had 1 serious oil spill and 7 medium-sized oil spills. Cruise ships are also big polluters. It has been found that an average-sized cruise ship produces around 1 million gallons of wastewater in one week.

What’s more, the waste from ships and land, is another major cause of ocean pollution. One type of the waste is a big problem: studies have shown that 80 percent of ocean waste is plastic (塑料). Plastic waste can easily make fish and other sea animals die, such as whales, seals, dolphins, and penguins.

Finally, other human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels (燃料), are also polluting our oceans. The CO2 produced not only pollutes the air but finally enters the ocean’s ecosystem. The world’s oceans have taken in 40 percent of the CO2 emissions produced by humans.

Changes clearly need to be made as soon as possible to help make the ocean pollution less and less.

D．Nearly all the ocean pollution comes from people on land.

3. Which of the following best shows the structure of this passage? (P=paragraph)

C．	D．

4. The passage mainly talks about __________.

A．the causes of the water pollution	B．the future of the water environment

3 . Once upon a time, there was a man who loved fruit very much.

One day, he went to India with his friends. When he got there, he saw many kinds of fruits, but many of them were expensive. Finally, he saw a big basket of fruit. This kind of fruit was red and long. And it was the cheapest there.

So he went up and bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it, oh, my god, his eyes watered, his mouth watered and burnt, and his face became red. He jumped up and down, saying “Ah! Ah! Ah!”

But he still continued(继续) eating the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, “You’re crazy, man. Those are chilies(辣椒)! You can’t eat so many! People use them as relish(调味品), but only a little bit to be put into food for taste. You can’t just eat them like that.” But the silly(愚蠢的) man said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them up. It’s my money!”

We sometimes do a lot of things like that. We still continue just because we’ve put money, time, effort and love into it even though we suffer from(受害于) it.

So even if you’ve lost something, let it go and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.

5 . Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new.

When I was a teenager I volunteered to pass out water at a local race. I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past.

I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it, too! The next year I decided to run for the race, but I had little practice. I just wanted to finish. On the day of the race, it was terribly hot. After running for about 5 miles, I was thinking, "I must be crazy. Why did I do this? What was I thinking?" And at one moment, I said to myself, "I am never doing this again!"

That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and walked. At times, I didn't know if I could finish.

Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little embarrassed （尴尬的） that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldn't even keep up with him. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare（比较）ourselves to others when we really shouldn't? I decided that I would not give up on running races and that one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who were still running.

As I crossed the finishing line, I was proud of myself. I didn't regret（后悔） having such an experience.

6 . Gardening（园艺） is popular in many parts of the world. It brings us sweet smelling flowers, fresh fruit and vegetables. But you can get more from your garden.

Gardening helps to keep healthy. Today’s people sit indoors for too long and don’t get much exercise. When you garden, you have to move around. It’s a good chance for you to exercise your body by watering flowers or doing some digging. Also, when you are in your garden, you can feel the warm sunshine. This means you are getting Vitamin D. It helps your bodies use calcium（钙）, which is necessary to keep your bones（骨骼） strong.

Gardening is a great activity to do with children. It gets them off computers, televisions and phones. Gardening can be a great teacher to teach children about nature and healthy eating. It can also help them to understand the meaning of “No pains, no gains.”

Gardening is a great way to meet people and build relationships. When you are gardening, you are outdoors. So it is a perfect time to communicate with your neighbors.

8 . The Beatles were one of the most successful and influential pop-music groups of the 1960s. The members include rhythm guitarist Lennon, bass guitarist McCartney, lead guitarist Harrison, and drummer Starr.

Lennon formed a band in Liverpool, England, while in high school in the mid-1950s. McCartney and then Harrison joined the group in the late 1950s. In its early years, the band also had several other members. In 1962, they signed a recording contract（合同）with a large music company.

① 2019 marks the first year of the global commercial use of 5G. China is running ahead in this field. In March, 2019, the Shanghai Hongqiao Train Station became world’s first “5G train station”. What’s more, with the technology, it takes only 20 seconds to download a long movie. China is hopeful that we can even experience driver-less cars in daily life soon.

② However, the great technology is still new to most of us. What are the advantages (优势) of 5G? Here are some ideas.

③ It is faster, for sure. It is expected to be at least 10 times faster than 4G. The first 5G modem (猫,调制解调器) of the IT company Qualcomm supports (支持) speeds of up to 5 Gigabytes (千兆字节) per second. Most of us have never experienced anything close to that speed. And we are only talking about the first generation of 5G modems. Future modems are likely to be even faster.

④ But 5G is not all about speed. Have you ever been to a large event where your data (数据) connection slowed down? That is because 4G networks can only support a certain number of devices (设备) per square (平方) meter. 5G networks can do much better. They can support up to a million devices per square kilometer.

⑤ Are you looking forward to that 5G world now? Get ready for the amazing future.

1. If we put the passage into 3 parts, which is the best?

10 . It’s sure that having a lovely pet can make people’s home life better—and in fact, it is of great importance in the pet owners’ career lives (职业生涯). In fact, according to a new survey, people with pets may be more successful in their careers and this is good news for those pet parents who want to be successful and powerful.

How could it be possible for those pet owners to have career success? The researchers surveyed 857 people in the United States with different kinds of jobs. Well, according to the research, some successful people said that their pets helped teach them many useful lessons, like being more responsible (有责任心的) and creative, showing love for others, and keeping rules. And all of these are so important in the business world.

What about people who grew up without pets, but have adopted (领养) pets when they are adults (成年人)? Luckily for those, the survey showed that having pets now can also help with their career success.

According to the research, 86 percent of pet parents said owning pets can help them keep a good order in their lives, plan their time better, and finish more work without wasting time or money. But even though you don’t think your pet has truly helped you, it will be greatly useful when your workmates get to know that you have a pet.
