I'm writing to tell you our plan to visit to Mount Huangshan. I'd be very happy to accompany you to go here.

Mount Huangshan, locating in southern Anhui Province, famous for its fantastic scenery. Mount Huangshan has more famous scenic attractions than many another mountains in China. It is especial well known for the beautifully-shaped pine tree, clouds and rocks. The hot springs, that come out from deep underground, are suitable to bathe in and even to drink.

As it was often cloudy and rainy on the mountain, it would be better to bring a raincoat and wear the suitable pair of shoes. Let's meet at 7：40 at the school gate this Saturday morning. Looking forward to seeing you.

2 . Though the harmful effects of plastic on wildlife and human health are well-documented, this material is hard to avoid. Nearly everything we touch, from grocery bags to drink bottles, to food packaging, contains plastic. Now, Amsterdam’s Ekoplaza supermarket is making it a little easier for consumers to reduce consumption of single-use plastic bags and containers, which are blocking our landfills at alarming rates, with a special plastic-free aisle (通道). Believed to be the world’s first, the aisle has 700 products on sale including rice, beans, yogurt, chocolate milk, cereal, snacks and meat.

While items still require packaging, everything is housed inside reusable or recyclable containers made of glass, metal or cardboard. The unique idea was given to the grocery-chain officials by UK-based environmental group A Plastic Planet, which takes the lead to advocate for at least one plastic-free aisle in supermarkets around the globe. The non-profit has even created a signature “plastic-free” mark to help consumers identify eco-friendly packaging. “This is a consumer-led campaign,” said a group co-founder Sian Sutherland. “We’re a grassroots organization. So obviously we’re working with industry and the government, but most importantly, we represent the public.”

Ekoplaza, which plans to roll out the plastic-free aisles across its 74 stores by the end of the year, is not the only company trying to reduce plastic waste. In Berlin, the Original Unverpackt grocery store has been trying to change customer habits since 2014 by selling everything, from grains to produce and even soaps without plastic packaging. The supermarket, which requires customers to bring their own reusable containers, even sells chewable toothpaste that needs no tubes.

Though it is encouraging to see companies trying to make a difference, for real change to happen, consumers have to avoid products encased in plastics, even if it means giving up their favorite food or drink. As Sutherland put it, “Plastic food and drink packaging remains useful and yet a destructive presence on the earth for centuries afterwards.”

3 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I couldn't even sort through the first box of our dog Bama's toys without bursting into tears. My husband, Alan, found me sitting on the floor, holding our dog's favorite toy. He gently pulled me to my feet. "It's okay, Lisa," he said. "I'll put these away. Why don't you go outside and get some air?"

I nodded.

It had been a few months since our beloved Bama had passed away. Alan and I didn't have children. Our boxer (拳师犬) was our baby. After Bama's death, we couldn't bring ourselves to go through his toys to decide what to keep. I told myself I'd do it when I was ready. Apparently, I still wasn't.

Now I sat on my front porch (门廊) and sobbed. Friends and family had suggested we get another dog, but Alan and I dismissed the idea. We couldn't go through that kind of heartbreak again.

I gazed out over the yard. Across the street was a dog. A boxer. Was he real or just my wishful imagination? I blinked. The boxer was still there. We locked eyes. He came across the street, straight toward me. Hesitantly, I offered my hand. He sniffed it eagerly then he licked (舔) me. I let out a surprised laugh. He pushed his head into my lap to be petted.

This dog was younger than Bama, smaller. He was well-fed and well-dressed. He wore a collar but had no ID. I knew he must belong to someone in the neighborhood, but I'd never seen another boxer around. I would have remembered if I had.

"Where did you come from?" I asked the dog, scratching him behind the ears.

He just sat there at ease. He didn't seem lost. Just as if he were dropping by for a visit.

"Alan!" I called. "You have to come to see this!"

Alan joined me, and we sat together in surprise for a moment. Then the boxer got up and slowly ran off.

4 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Of all the events in the universe, solar eclipses may lead to the     1    (great) change in animal behavior.    2    (puzzle) animals that are active during the day head back to their night places while night animals think they've overslept.

When the sun, moon and the earth are     3     a straight line, there will be an eclipse, so that the moon completely     4    (block) the sun. Around the world, when a solar eclipse occurs, unusual phenomena in animals are often reported.

Some spiders start breaking     5    (they) nets during the eclipse, just as they usually do at the end of the day. Once the solar eclipse has passed, they will start to rebuild them.     6    (similar) , fish and birds,     7     are active during the day, go to their night resting places while bats come out. They seem to be tricked by     8     sudden darkness.

5 . A shocking 53.6 million tons of electronic waste were discarded（丢弃）last year, a new UN-backed report has revealed. The report shows that e-waste is up 21%from five years ago. This isn't surprising, considering how many more people are adopting new technology and updating devices regularly to have the latest versions, but the report also shows that national collection and recycling strategies are nowhere close to matching consumption rates.

E-waste contains materials including copper（铜）, iron, gold and silver, which the report gives a conservative value of $ 57 billion. But most are thrown away or burned rather than being collected for recycling. Precious metals in waste are estimated to be worth $ 14 billion, but only $4 billion-worth is recovered at the moment.

While the number of countries with national e-waste policies has grown from 61 to 78 since 2014, there is little encouragement to obey and a mere 17% of collected items are recycled. If recycling does occur, it's often under dangerous conditions, such as burning circuit boards to recover copper, which "releases highly poisonous metals" and harms the health of workers.

The report found that Asia has the highest amounts of waste overall, producing 24.9 million metric tons (MMT), followed by Europe at 12 MMT, Africa at 2.9 MMT, and Oceania at 0.7 MMT.

But whose responsibility is it? Are governments in charge of setting up collection and recycling points, or should companies be responsible for recycling the goods they produce? It goes both ways. Companies do need to be held accountable by government regulations and have incentives to design products that are easily repaired. At the same time, governments need to make it easy for citizens to access collection points and deal with their broken electronics in a convenient way. Otherwise, they may turn to the easiest option-the landfill.

6 . Some termite (白蚁) species have figured out how to enjoy the shelter of the huge complex nests that the insects build without contributing to their construction. They avoid the full anger of their builder hosts by being extremely easy-going.

Animals that live in the nests of another species without affecting them are known as inquilines. Inquiline termites are unique among termites in being unable to make their own nests. Instead, they live in the hallways built by another termite, Constrictotermes cyphergaster. Until now, it has been unclear how the two parties kept peaceful in such tight quarters because termites are typically very aggressive towards outsiders.

Helder Hugo at the University of Konstanz in Germany and his colleagues collected Constrictotermes cyphergaster’s nests in the Brazilian Cerrado and brought them into the laboratory. They then placed host and tenant (房客) termites in either open or narrow areas and used video to track and record the ways in which the two species reacted to each other.

Right from the start, the inquiline’ termites moved around less than their hosts and interacted little with them, even in the much narrower area. “Many times,” says Hugo, “when two unrelated groups are put together in a limited space—such as an experimental area—the outcome is conflict with losses from both sides.” But that didn’t happen here. Despite attacks from host termites, the tenant termites were obedient. Hosts would bite or attack the inquilines with strong chemicals, but their targets never responded in the same way, choosing to flee. Some ignored the hosts completely.

“We did not expect that they would never fight back,” says Hugo, noting that the inquilines are capable of protecting their own place with mouths. “By preventing conflict going worse, inquiline termites may considerably improve their chances of living together with their host termites peacefully.”

“Passiveness does not necessarily lead to defeat, but can be a very useful strategy, saving energy and resources,” she adds. “Nature may not always be red in tooth and claw, and aggression is not any more successful a strategy than ‘cowardice’ (儒弱).”

7 . Crows are not the most beautiful bird. They don't have a good fame in most countries of the world.     1     They are definitely one of the smartest, most adaptable of our winged friends.

    2     However, some of these species may also have small areas of white or gray feather around their body. And they are compact（结实的）birds with functional beaks and feet.

Crows are very socialized to groups These groups of crows are referral to as "flocks" or "murder". The American crow, also known as the common crow, is of the Corvidae family. This includes 120 species.     3    

In a variety of studies crows have been proven to be extremely intelligent. These studies confirm that the birds are able to construct and use tools in their life.     4     Crows have actually evolved into making hooked tools from twigs to help them forage. They are also able to drop pebbles into a lube of water to allow them to drink the water.

    5     And they also stash and store food in trees and other places for future use. They are highly adaptive birds that eat over six hundred different kinds of stuff. They eat almost all types of plants. And they also feed on insects like spiders, grasshoppers, weevils, beetles and crickets. As scavengers（食腐动物）they feed on decaying and dead matter. And also eat waste and food from garbage biw, especially in the winter months.

A．These birds consume many varieties of food.

B．Ravens and jackdaws are included in that number.

C．They usually don't spend too much time in their nets.

D．Common crows are generally all-black in appearance.

E．For example, they use sticks to dig bugs from trees to eat.

F．These birds get on well with each other when they hunt for food.

8 . The River Thames has some of the highest recorded levels of microplastics for any river in the world.

Scientists have estimated that 94,000 microplastics per second flow down the river in places. The quantity is larger than that measured in other European rivers, such as the Danube and Rhine. Tiny bits of plastic have been found inside the bodies of crabs living in the Thames.

Researchers at Royal Holloway, University of London, are calling for stricter regulations on the labelling and disposal of plastic products. They warn that careless disposal of plastic gloves and masks during the coronavirus pandemic might make the problem of plastic pollution worse.

“Taken together, these studies show how many different types of plastic, from microplastics in the water through to larger items of debris physically altering the foreshore, can potentially affect a wide range of organisms in the River Thames,” said Prof Dave Morritt from Royal Holloway, “The increased use of single- use plastic items, and the inappropriate disposal of such items, including masks and gloves, along with plastic- containing cleaning products, during the current COVID-19 pandemic, may well make this problem even worse.”

Many forms of microplastics were found in the Thames, including glitter, microbeads from cosmetics and plastic debris from larger items. Most of the microplastics came from the break-down of large plastics, with food packaging thought to be a significant source. “Flushable” wet wipes were found in high abundance on the shoreline forming “wet wipe reefs”.

Study researcher, Katherine McCoy, said, “Our study shows that stricter regulations are needed for the labelling and disposal of these products. There is great range to further research the impacts of microplastics and indeed microfibres on Thames organisms.”

1. What did the researchers mainly suggest?

A．Stricter regulations should be made.	B．People shouldn't eat crabs for a while.
C．People should cut the use of plastic gloves	D．Plastic masks shouldn't be thrown away carelessly.

2. Where did most microplastics found in the River Thames come from?

A．Wet wipes.	B．Food packaging.
C．Cleaning products.	D．Single-use plastic masks.

3. What is the best title for the text?

A．Wildlife Being Threatened by Microplastics.	B．Forms of Microplastics Found in the Thames.
C．River Thames Severely Polluted with Plastic.	D．Inappropriate Disposal of Single-use Plastics.

4. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A．Science.

B．Environment.

C．Health.

D．Education.

9 . Micro plastics are tiny bits of plastic often too small to be seen. Plastic doesn't decompose like natural materials. Instead, it just breaks into smaller and smaller pieces. No one knows exactly how much plastic is in the oceans. Since the sea is so large and so deep, it s hard to get a good idea of how much plastic it contains. But in recent years, scientists have made greater efforts to get a more accurate idea.

Some studies have suggested that since 1950. about 17 million metric tons(公吨)of plastic have entered the Atlantic Ocean. Scientists believe that the plastic previously found on beaches and on the surface of the water is only about 1% of all the plastic in the oceans. Researchers from the United Kingdom (UK) want to find out where the other 99% was.

For two months in 2016 the researchers took samples at 12 different locations in the Atlantic Ocean from the UK to South America. They collect water samples from three different depths in the top 200 meters. By running the water through special fllters(过滤器),they were able to collect the micro plastics, which they could view and study with a microscope.

Based on their measurments. the researchers learned that just the top 200 meters of the Atlantic Ocean holds between 12 and 21 million metric tons of plastics. But the Atlantic Ocean is very deep, and the scientists only checked the top 200 meters. They say that if microplastics are spread through the rest of the Atlantic like they were in the top 200 meters, thin there are probably about 200 million metric tons of microplastics in the Atlantic Ocean.

Though the scientists only studied the Atlantic ocean the results suggest that there may be far more microplastic in all oceans than we realized. The problems go far beyond ocean pollution. Microplastic particles have been found just in everywhere around the world from Antarctica to the bottom of the sea.

Scientist predict that the amount of plastic entering our oceans is likely to triplet over the next 20 years. Having a good idea of how much plastic is already then might be a good first step to fighting the problem.

10 . 阅读下列材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Saving the giant panda from extinction is a conservation success story. The panda is the symbol for endangered species and is the WWF logo (标识). An international conservation union     1     (remove) it from the endangered species list in 2016. It is still easy     2     (attack). Conservationists fear that the panda’s     3     (succeed) has come at a cost to other mammals sharing     4     (it) habitat. A study found that many animals have disappeared from areas     5     the panda lives.

A researcher was happy that the panda is     6     (safe) than ever before. However, he is sad that some of China’s meat-eating mammals are now     7     risk. Since panda conservation started in     8     1960s, Asian wild dogs     9     (disappear) from 95% of protected areas, wolves from 77%, and snow leopards (豹) from 38%. However, the research findings recognized “the power of the giant panda as an umbrella that has     10     (effective) sheltered many other species”.
