Last weekend, fifty volunteers from our school go to help promote garbage classification in Sunshine Community. Various activities held to spread the knowledge of garbage classification. After arrive at the community, we recommended the official account we created it on WeChat to local residents. Meanwhile, some volunteers put down posters and gave out brochures. Beside, we started to sort garbage in several trash can and collected recyclable waste from door to door. After a long day of hard work, the locals had a better insight into garbage classification but raised their environmental awareness with the help of us. Back to school, the organizer shared an event online to make it wide known.

8 . In an effort to create more environmentally-friendly vacations, Norwegian cruise operator (挪威邮轮公司) Hurtig-ruten is making a plan to power its ships using dead fish, which will come from Norway’s good fishing industry, to make shipping less wasteful.

So how do dead fish get transformed into fuel? Organic waste of any kind can be mixed to produce a type of fuel known as biogas (沼气), which can give off a bad egg smell. It’s not a particularly attractive process, but don’t worry: those smells won’t be given off from your cruise ship’s exhaust (排气管). The raw materials in the biogas can be cleaned, which creates liquid biogas.

“What others see as a problem, we see as a resource and a solution,” said Daniel Skjeldam, Hurtigruten chief executive. “By introducing biogas as fuel for cruise ships, Hurtigruten will be the first cruise company to power ships with fossil-free (无化石的) fuel.”

Biogas is certainly cleaner than heavy oil, but it’s not exactly carbon-free. So while the plan might be a creative way of making use of organic waste, as well as helping to get rid of fossil fuels, it’s not a perfect solution. However, it’s at least a step in a better direction. And the company will also be stopping single-use plastics on its 17 cruise ships. It’s good to see change happening in a dirty industry.

1. What does the underlined word “transformed” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Adjusted.

B．Divided.

C．Absorbed.

D．Changed.

2. What is the limitation of the plan?

A．Bioga si ssmellier than heavy oil.

B．The making of biogas is costly.

C．The raw materials are not enough to cover the needs.

D．Biogas burning produces chemicals containing carbon.

3. What does the author think of Hurtigruten's plan?

A．It will be of some help.

B．Itis all talk.

C．It is useless.

D．It will cause a debate.

4. What would be the best title for this text?

A．Smelly biogas has caused new problems

B．Norway’s fishing industry meets a challenge

C．Dead fish will soon make power

D．Hurtigruten points out the world resource issue

9 . The milk carton, made from layers of paperboard and plastic first, appeared in 1952 and soon replaced glass bottles. They were far lighter, could be piled and distributed more easily, and more significantly, they were found to have 78 percent less of an impact on the climate than glass bottles. The Tetra Pak cartons, with a layer of aluminum foil(铝箔) that allowed heat –treated milk to remain fresh, followed in 1961.

However, every technology has drawbacks and those of plastics are becoming painfully obvious. Landfills are stuffed with bottles and cartons, and trillions of pieces of plastic float in the world's oceans.

Carton makers are far from the only contributions to the ballooning volumes of packaging waste. In some ways, they're encouraging recycling. However, it is not universal even in Europe, only 47 percent of materials from the 37 billion cartons, made for European countries in 2016 were recycled.

Cartons are also stuck in a broader paradox(悖论): as economy advances, people tend not only to recycle more but also to consume more. Croatia’s overall recycling rate for packaging in 2016 was 55 percent, compared with Germany’s 71 percent, but the average German produced four times as much packaging waste as the average Croatian.

In theory, cartons are fairly recyclable. When pulped （打成浆） in liquid, their various layers are separated into paper, plastic and metal. All of them can then be turned to other uses. In practice, recycling is currently unfeasible for cartoons, because a cotton is carefully bonded and constructed often with a plastic lid and a straw fixed to the side.

This means carton makers need to do more to make their products not only useful but also sustainable. This involves stronger links with recycling factories and waste companies to ensure that containers they pump into the world are returned and reused. In the long term, they face a huge technological challenge to get to what Tetra Pak says is its ultimate aim -- to construct cartons entirely out of renewable materials.

1. What's the purpose of Paragraph 1?

A．To provide examples.	B．To introduce the topic.
C．To make comparisons.	D．To present the argument.

2. Why have numerous cartons ended up as waste？

A．Their materials are not recyclable.

B．Carton makers lack environmental awareness.

C．There are no recycling regulations in the world.

D．Consumption increases as recycling rate rises.

3. What does the underlying word unfeasible mean?

A．Urgent.	B．Expensive.
C．Impracticable.	D．Unimaginable

4. What is the top priority for carton makers?

A．To come up with new ways to reuse plastic

B．To make their products, the market leader.

C．To set up a new standard for the materials

D．To seek cooperation with recycling and waste companies.

10 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Save the Earth

Without the Earth we have nowhere to live, along with many other organisms. If we don’t save the Earth     1    (active) now, our children or grandchildren might not be able to see it for long. Our atmosphere       2     (weaken) and we have to do something about it quickly.

We could plant more     3     (tree) to create more oxygen to keep the bad air away from the atmosphere,    4     we could just stop cutting down the rainforest. We are living and we need the space but we aren’t the only species on this earth.    5     (save) the rainforest is not only good for the atmosphere but also good for the many different species that the earth provides for     6     (we).

We could try to get as many people as possible to switch to other energy using     7     (little) mineral fuels for energy and relying more on solar and wind energy     8     fossil fuels are destroying our earth and we need     9     (limit) the use of it.

Recycling is one of the simplest ways     10     helps our precious planet. Everyone can help. All they have to do is follow three simple rules: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

The world is precious and we need to keep it that way.
