1 . 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。

The production of coffee beans is a huge, profitable business, but, unfortunately, full-sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage. The change     1     coffee is grown from shade-grown production to full-sun production endangers the very     2     (exist) of certain animals and birds, and even disturbs the world’s ecological balance.

On a local level, the damage     3     (cause) by full-sun fields affects the area’s birds and animals. The shade of the forest trees provides a habitat     4     birds and other species that depend on the trees’ flowers and fruits. Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result, many species are     5     (quick) dying out. On a more global level, the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also threatens human life.

Medical research often makes use of the forests’ plant and animal life,     6     the destruction of such species prevents researchers from finding cures for certain diseases. In addition, new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the local water and     7     (poison) the world’s groundwater in the future.

The loss of shade trees is gradually causing     8     slight change in the world’s climate, and studies show that loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming.

It is obvious that     9     (grow) much full-sun coffee affects many aspects of life, from the local environment to the global ecology. But consumers do have a choice. They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost. The future health of the planet and mankind     10     (be) surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.

2 . Scientists say they have found high levels of small plastic particles(颗粒) in Arctic snow. A German-Swiss research team collected snow samples(样本）from the Arctic and other areas. They included northern Germany, the Bavarian and Swiss Alps, and the North Sea island of Heligoland.When the researchers examined the samples in a laboratory, they were surprised to find very high levels of microplastics.

Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic. These plastic particles are generally smaller than 5 millimeters in length. They come from the breakdown of man-made plastic products and industrial waste.

The study found the highest levels of microplastics came from the Bavarian Alps. One snow sample from the area had 154,000 microplastic particles per liter. Samples collected from the Arctic had much lower levels. However, even samples from the Arctic contained up to 14,000 particles per liter.

The study also attempted to explore how some of the material could have been carried in the atmosphere. A limited number of earlier studies did find microplastics in the air of some cities, including Paris, Tehran and Dongguan, China.

Bergmann Melanie co-wrote the report on the new study. She believes the new study clearly shows that “the majority of the microplastic in the snow comes from the air.” The new study suggests that much of the microplastic found in Europe and the Arctic comes from the atmosphere and snow.

While there is growing concern about the effect of microplastics on the environment, scientists are still studying their possible harmful effects on humans and animals. “I hope the new study will lead to more research on this issue. I think   microscopic plastic particles should be included in worldwide observations of air pollution levels.We really need to know what effects microplastics have on humans, especially if inhaled with the air that we breathe.” Bergmann said.

4. What can be inferred from what Bergmann said in the last paragraph?

A．Scientists are worried about the the influence of microplastics.

B．We have found a practical solution to the environment problem.

C．The effect of microplastics on human must be urgently researched.

D．There is no need to change observations of air pollution levels.

3 . "Like a monster, it destroys everything. " That's how one school girl described a tsunami（海啸）.

On Dec. 26, 2004, a magnitude-9. 1 earthquake in Indonesia set off a massive tsunami. It killed more than 230,000 people across four countries and cost an estimated $ 10 billion in damage.

Nov. 5 is World Tsunami Awareness Day and at the United Nations Wednesday, disaster risk reduction was high on the agenda.

"What I can tell you is that the tsunami wave cannot be stopped," said Bulgarians U. N. Ambassador Georgi   Velikov Panayotov. He was on vacation in Thailand in 2004 and survived the tsunami. "What we can do is build early warning systems and, of course, educate the population about the damaging power of the tsunami wave," he said.

On March 11, 2011, a magnitude-9 earthquake rocked northeastern Japan triggering a fierce tsunami that also damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, south of Sendai.

"When the big earthquake hit Japan in 2011, people thought that we were prepared for it," said Japan's U. N. Ambassador Koro Bessho. "It caused severe damage. We had dams； we had drills. However, we had been counting on something that hits every 100 years and the earthquake was of the size of possibly every 500 years or thousand years, he said.

These two events sent the countries of the region into overdrive to review and improve disaster preparedness. In 2015 the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction was born. It aims to help create a better understanding of disaster risk and improve preparedness for an effective response.

Indonesia is made up of thousands of islands which are disaster-prone（易受灾地区）. Willem Rampangilei, head of the Disaster Management Agency of Indonesia, said his government now has plans for every disaster-prone city.

Countries at risk are also expanding their education programs. Children from an early age are taught how to react in case of a tsunami and then go with their classmates to higher ground away from coastal areas to avoid the walls of water the tsunami triggers.

1. What does Georgi Velikov Panayotov mainly talk about?

A．The general features of a tsunami.	B．Ways for humans to face a tsunami.
C．His suffering in the 2004 tsunami.	D．The loss caused by the 2004 tsunami.

2. In Koro Bessho's opinion, why did the 2011 earthquake cause severe damage?

A．It caused a fierce tsunami.	B．It destroyed a nuclear plant.
C．The size was beyond expectation.	D．There was no effective defense system.

3. What common belief pushed different countries to take action to face a coming tsunami?

A．Children should be protected by all means.

B．The improvement of preparedness can reduce damage.

C．Proper response in case of a tsunami can save one's life.

D．Stronger measures should be taken in disaster-prone areas.

4. Which can be the best title of the text?

A．World Tsunami Awareness Day

B．Nations Attacked by Massive Tsunami

C．The Unpredictable and Destructive Disaster

D．Learn from Disasters to Prevent Future Ones

We live in the countryside. Most of which we see is the beauty of nature. One of the exceptions to the beauty is the litter some people throw out their windows as they are driving on the roads. One of the few drawbacks to living in the countryside is that public service, such as litter collection, are little available than they are closer to the city.

A helping habit that my family practise regularly are picking up litter in our surrounding area. We have become so accustomed to do this that my little brother will often say, “There’s some litter. Daddy, stop the car!” and we would often pull over and pick it up. It may seem strange, and we actually enjoy it. We pick up litter in parks, on sidewalks, practically anywhere. Once I even saw a complete stranger picking up litter close to where we live in. He smiled at me and said, “I saw you doing it, and it seemed like the good idea.”

5 . 阅读短文内容，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Earlier 2019,the International Center for Integrated Mountain Development published    1    most comprehensive analysis up to now of how climate change will affect the glaciers of the world,    2    (warn) that about 18,00 glaciers(冰川) will disappear by 2100.

This is a bad    3    (predict) for some 1.9 billion South Asians,    4     use water from the glaciers not only for drinking but also for agriculture, hydroelectric power,and tourism. But the survey also looked at an immediate question: As the glaciers     5    (rapid) melt, where will all the water—more than a quadrillion gallons of it, almost the amount    6    (contain) in Lake Huron—go?

The answer is that the Himalaya, for example, long defined by    7    (it) glaciers,is becoming a mountain range defined by lake. In fact, another study found that from 1990 to 2010, more than 900 new glaciers-fed lakes     8    (form) across Asia's high mountain ranges.Because of those remote locations scientists must rely    9    satellites to count them ,and new lakes appear to be growing so quickly that it's difficult for scientific teams to agree on the precise number. I's all happening much    10    ( fast) than we expected it to even five or ten years ago.

6 . The Tokyo Summer Olympics is going green. The 5,000 medals Japan has made are more special than most.

One novel focus of the Tokyo Olympics is to be“sustainable”—to avoid using too many natural resources, so that the games are easy on the environment. As part of this goal, the organizers decided to make all of the Olympic medals out of metal recycled from old electronics.

Almost all electronics are made with small amounts of "precious metals", like gold and silver. But collecting enough of these metals to make 5,000 medals was a huge challenge. That's because the amount of metal in each device is tiny. It would take about 20,000 cell phones to get just 1 kilogram of gold.

Beginning in April 2017, the organizers placed collection boxes around the country, and asked people to turn in their old electronic devices. Soon people began to respond to the initiative, turning in smartphones, digital cameras, hand-held games, and laptops. At first, collection went slowly, but soon more and more areas began to take part. By the end, 1,621 local governments had helped out with the collection process.

Then came the job of breaking those devices down into smaller pieces. After being taken apart and sorted, the small electronics were smelted (熔炼) to get all the gold, silver, and bronze elements. This is a tricky job, which calls for careful attention and good skill. It's also dangerous, because some of the metals and other things aren't safe for people to touch or breathe.

By the end of March, 2019, the organizers had hit their targets of getting enough metal for the medals. They had collected around3xkilograms of gold, 4,100 kilograms of silver and 2,200 kilograms of bronze. And now all the 5,000 medals are available for the would-be winners.

1. What can we know about the Tokyo Olympics medals?

As we all know, there are many kinds of pollution all over the world, air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution and so on. Although we can't save the world in a short time, we can take   some measures to protect     1    . For example, we can prevent people throwing litter; we can sort the rubbish in the community; we can drive less and produce less carbon dioxide.

    2     (actual), there is a new recycling program at our school, which aims to help us create     3    better environment. The recycling we've planned is simply a three-part program: sorting, collecting and delivering. The first part — sorting is also the     4     (hard) one. Most people don't like taking the time to do the     5     (separate) of the rubbish and this is usually why most recycling     6     (program) fail. However, we have reasons     7     (believe) that our words will work. From now on, instead of seeing the usual black rubbish cans all over the school, you     8     (see) three different colors of rubbish cans. Pink cans are for paper, blue cans for bottles, and white ones for all other waste. After the rubbish     9     (sort), it needs to be collected and then taken     10     different rubbish recycling centers.

10 . For decades,Americans have been sorting their trash believing that most plastic could be recycled.But the truth is that the vast majority of all plastic produced can't be or won't be recycled.In 40 years,less than 10% of plastic has been recycled.

A news programme Frontline,by NPR and the PBS,found that oil and gas companies- the makers of plastic-have known that all along,even as they spent millions of dollars telling the American public the opposite.The plastics industry officials said the industry is providing money for new technology that they believe will get recycling plastic up to scale.The goal,they said,is to recycle 100% of the plastic they make in 5 years.

But the more plastic is recycled,the less money the industry will make by selling new plastic.And those profits have become increasingly important.Companies have told shareholders（股东）that profits from using oil and gas for transport are expected to decline in coming years with the increasing use of electric cars.The industry leaders expect oil and gas demands from the chemical industry will be much greater than the demand from the transport side in the coming decade.Plastic production overall is now expected to rise three times by 2050,and once again,the industry is spending money on advertisements and public relations to promote plastic recycling.

Plastic is now more common than it's ever been and harder to recycle.Gas prices remain at historic lows,making new plastic cheaper than recycled plastic.And the industry now produces many more different-and more complex-kinds of plastics that are more costly to sort and in many cases can't be recycled at all.Efforts to reduce plastic use are mounting nationwide,but any plan to slow the growth of plastic will face an industry with billions of dollars of future profits to lose.

1. What do we know about the goal of 100%plastic recycling?

A．It's modest.

B．It's achievable.

C．It's urgent.

D．It's unreal.

2. How will the oil and gas companies make more profits in the following years?

A．By selling electric cars.

B．By adding emphasis on recycling.

C．By increasing plastic production.

D．By meeting the needs of transport.

3. What does the underlined word"mounting"in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Increasing.

B．Working.

C．Failing.

D．Decreasing.

4. What may be the best title for the text?

A．Should Plastic Be Recycled?

B．Can Plastic Waste Be Handled?

C．Recycle Plastic or Sell More?

D．Plastic Products or Substitutes?
