If plastic had been invented when the Pilgrims (清教徒移民) sailed from Plymouth, England, to North America and the Mayflower had been stocked with bottled water and plastic-wrapped snacks, their plastic waste would likely still be around, four centuries later. If the Pilgrims had been like many people today and had simply thrown their empty bottles and wrappers over the side, Atlantic waves and sunlight would have worn all that plastic into tiny bits. And those bits might still be floating around the world’s oceans today, waiting to be eaten by unfortunate fish, and eventually perhaps by one of us. Because plastic wasn’t invented until the late 19th century, and production really only took off around 1950, we have a mere 9.2 billion tons of the stuff to deal with. Of that, more than 6.9 billion tons have become waste. And of that waste, a shocking 6.3 billion tons never made it to recycling facilities. No one knows how much unrecycled plastic waste ends up in the ocean, Earth’s last sink. In 2015, Jenna Jambeck, a university of Georgia engineering professor, caught everyone’s attention with a rough estimate: between 5.3 million and 14 million tons each year just from coastal regions. Most of it isn’t thrown off ships, she and her colleagues say, but is dumped carelessly on land or in rivers, mostly in Asia. It’s then blown or washed into the sea. It’s unclear how long it will take for that plastic to completely biodegrade (降解). Estimates range from 450 years to never. Meanwhile, ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. Some are harmed visibly-strangled (勒死) by abandoned fishing nets. Many more are probably harmed invisibly. Marine species of all sizes, from fish to whale, now eat microplastics, the bits smaller than one-fifth of an inch across. On Hawaii’s Big Island, on a beach to which no paved road, I walked ankle-deep through mocroplastics. After that, I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as an approaching disaster, worth mentioning in the same breath as climate change. And yet there’s a key difference: Ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no mean waste deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we have to remake our planet’s entire energy system. “This isn’t a problem where we don’t know what the solution is,” says Jambeck. “We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to deal with it. We know how to recycle.” It’s a matter of building the necessary institutions and systems, she says--ideally before the ocean tums, for centuries to come, into a thin soup of plastic. 1.In the first paragraph the author emphasizes the fact that ______. A.British people migrated to America four centuries ago B.people have kept doing research in plastic for four centuries C.there was no plastic pollution four centuries ago D.plastic waste would remain in the ocean for four centuries 2.How are marine animals harmed invisibly by ocean plastic? A.They eat microplastics. B.They drown in microplastics. C.They are coated with waste plastic bags. D.They are struggling in abandoned plastic nets. 3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A.People all agree reducing plastic production is the solution. B.People tend to agree plastic waste has caused ocean plastic. C.It has been scheduled to reverse the trend of climate change. D.It has been scheduled to reverse the trend of ocean plastic.

Pinocchio may be just a children's fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated the so-called ''Pinocchio effect'' and found that our noses don't grow when we tell a lie, but actually shrink a bit.
Dr. Emilio Gómez Milán and his team developed a lie detector test that used thermography to tell if people were lying, and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful, the temperature of the tips of their noses dropped up to 1.2℃, while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5℃. Scientists also found that drop in temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is undetected by the human eye. ''One has to think in order to lie, which rises the temperature of the forehead, '' Dr. Gomez Milan explained the findings. ''At the same time we feel anxious, which lowers the temperature of the nose. '' For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while being scanned by thermal imaging technology. One of these tasks involved calling a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents, partner or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants had to devise the lie by themselves during the call, and the thermal cameras picked up this ''reverse Pinocchio effect'' caused by the fluctuation (起伏) in temperature in the nose and forehead. Interestingly, the thermal lie doctor picked up the temperature difference in 80 percent of test subjects, which is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie doctor. ''With this method we have achieved to increase accuracy and reduce the occurrence of 'false positives', something that is frequently with other methods such as the polygraph (测谎仪) , '' said Dr. Emilio Gómez Milán, who added that law enforcement interviewers could one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results. The thermal lie doctor has been the most reliable in the world, 10% more than the popular polygraph. 1.Why does the author mention ''Pinocchio'' at the beginning? A.To tell a fairy story B.To warn us not to lie. C.To introduce a research. D.To inspire us to doubt old beliefs. 2.According to the research, what might happen if you tell a lie? A.Your nose gets longer. B.Your nose becomes smaller. C.Your temperature gets higher. D.Your temperature remains stable. 3.What can we learn about the research? A.Researchers conduct the study by interviewing. B.Researchers design difference lies for participants. C.The thermal lie detector will prove a popular one. D.The thermal lie doctor may assist law enforcement. 4.Which might be the best title for the passage? A.Will lie detectors tell the truth? B.Will lying make your nose longer? C.Will lying make your temperature rise? D.Will thermal imaging technology be reliable?

On Wednesday afternoon, a handsome, wealthy attorney renowned for handling affluent clients came into the restaurant. At least that’s how Lawrence described himself to me in his intro. He was dressed in a sharp navy suit, white shirt and silk tie. He asked, “How long have you been waiting tables?” Jokingly, I replied, “I’m new, so forgive me if your meal lands on your lap.” He replied, quite sternly, “Don’t make excuses for your mistakes.” I thought he was joking, but his face lacked even the hint of a smile. In the same tone, he said, “Come to dinner with me Saturday night.” I ignored his invitation, which seemed more like a demand, and asked, “How long have you been an attorney?” “As long as I’ve wanted.” Confused and curious, I prodded: “What kind of answer is that?” “The only one you’re going to get.” Lawrence placed his order: filet mignon, green beans instead of broccoli. Staring at me straight-faced, he added, “I’ll have bottled water. Tap is for the waitstaff.” As soon as I brought his food to the table, he took his fork and inspected the filet. “Saturday night I’ll take you to a restaurant that makes this one look like fast food.” “I enjoy fast food; it’s unpretentious,” I responded. “Besides, I haven’t agreed to any date.” After he asked for the bill, I carefully removed his glass, plate and utensils, trying not to drop anything on him or the floor. As I cleared the table, he asked, “So, are we on for this weekend?” Something about him was intriguing. So as not to appear too eager, I replied with a tentative, “I guess so.” Phone in hand, he asked, “What’s your name and number? I’ll call for your address.” I took out my phone and said, “First, you tell me yours.” He paid with cash, and instead of a tip, left a note stating he would make it up to me on Saturday night. He waited until Saturday morning before calling to ask for my address. I told him to park in the upper tier of the parking garage next to my apartment building. “Why can’t I just pick you up at your apartment?” he asked. “I don’t know you well enough for that. Is that a problem?” “No, but it’s weird.” “Not to me.” “OK, I’ll meet you there. Do you have any nice clothes to wear?” “Lawrence, you better shape up before tonight, or this date isn’t going to take off. I look good in anything.” “OK, OK, calm down.” I arrived early, and the adrenaline was rushing through my veins as I waited for Lawrence in the parking garage. The minutes passed slowly until I heard the sound of a car engine approaching from below. Lawrence had arrived in a black stretch limousine. Waiting for Lawrence were three FBI agents-colleagues of mine-with cameras. Lawrence wasn’t an attorney; he was an unemployed jewelry store employee who stole hundreds of thousands of dollars in merchandise. His ex-fiancée went to the police after he broke off their engagement. But her story hadn’t been enough; we needed evidence. I ran the prints from Lawrence’s glass and utensils- they matched perfectly with the ones found in the store’s safe. In the trunk of the limo, Lawrence had suitcases packed for a getaway. Hidden inside one was a small sack of jewels: rubies, diamonds, pearls, sapphires and emeralds. As I walked towards the limo, I heard Lawrence pleading, “Please, I needed the money to pay bills!” I yelled back, “Don’t make excuses for your mistakes!” 1.What did the author think of Lawrence’s introduction? A.Convincing. B.Unbelieving. C.Ambiguous. D.Joking. 2.What does the underlined word “sternly” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Stubbornly. B.Seriously. C.Friendly. D.Lively. 3.The author ignored Lawrence’s invitation because _______? A.she didn’t want to be connected with him. B.she thought him to be distant. C.he wasn’t the man she had affection for. D.she wanted to trick him into giving himself away. 4.Why did the author “carefully removed his glass, plate and utensils”? A.To avoid embarrassment. B.Not to land anything on his lap. C.To get the evidence for his crime. D.Not to break them. 5.Which of the following words can be used to describe “I” in the passage? A.Kind and friendly. B.Easygoing and clever. C.Distant and cautious. D.Brave and wise. 6.What is the best title for the passage? A.Familiar words. B.A thief. C.A mistake. D.A story of a famous attorney.

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填 1个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。 Chances are you have heard about the “marshmallow test.” Put a marshmallow in front of a child and give them two choices: eat it now or wait 15 minutes and get two. According to a classic study, children able to delay gratification (满足) and wait for the second marshmallow have better academic, social and health outcomes years later. Since these early experiments, researchers have shown that a wide range of childhood traits from social and emotional skills to motivation and self-control can predict better life outcomes. Now a new study has found another link between behavior in childhood and success later in life. Published in the medical journal JAMA Psychiatry, my colleagues and I report that children who were rated as “inattentive” by kindergarten teachers had lower earnings at ages 33 to 35, and those rated as prosocial--such as being kind, helpful and considerate--earned more. This study shows that inattention may be among the most powerful early behavioral predictors of future earnings. It also demonstrates that it is possible to identify children at risk of lower future earnings based on a single teacher assessment made in kindergarten, which has important practical implications. If these children can be identified, then it may be possible to intervene--for example, by flagging them for further assessment or by providing support or prevention programs--and thus improve their life chances. The classic marshmallow study failed to account for intelligence and family background, which are known to influence future life success. Recent efforts to replicate that experiment using a larger and more diverse sample found that the effect was roughly half of that seen in the classic study. When the researchers controlled for the children’s IQ and family background, the effect virtually disappeared. In another influential study, published in 2011, children aged three to 11 with good self-control were reported to have more wealth, better health and fewer criminal conviction in early adulthood. But the paper failed to consider the role of antisocial traits, such as aggression and opposition. When these were adjusted for in a replication study, the effects were considerably weakened. One problem with self-control studies such as these is that they lump many traits--such as attention, delayed gratification and conscientiousness--together to create a single composite self-control score, often combining traits assessed across multiple years. This approach makes it hard to identify the “active ingredients” that are linked with the outcome of interest, a crucial step if you plan to develop targeted intervention programs designed to improve life outcomes by promoting “good” traits and reducing “bad” ones.

请认真阅读下文信息，并按要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。 A new regulation by China’s Ministry of Education aims to grant primary and middle school teachers more room in punishing their students in order to achieve better teaching results. The regulation lists punishments available to teachers in three categories based on the level of severity of the offense, including naming and shaming, forced standing that lasts no longer than one class session, and suspension of class for no longer than one week. Zhang Lifeng, a 43-year-old parent, welcomed the move. “The regulation should have come earlier,” she said. “It will benefit both teachers and students as well as parents.” However, a ninth grader at a middle school, disagreed. “It is normal for adolescent students to make mistakes. I don’t think punishments are necessary. They may cause more trouble,” he said. Chen Xianzhe, a professor with the School of Education at South China Normal University, said punishments are just a part of the teaching process. The regulation asks schools to draft their own regulations accordingly to clarify the rules for teachers in taking disciplinary actions against their students. （写作内容） 1、用约30个单词概括上述信息的主要内容； 2、谈谈你如何看待教育惩戒，并简述理由； 3、请你对教育惩戒规则的实施提出合理建议(至少两点)。 （写作要求） 1、写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句； 2、作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称； 3、不必写标题。 （评分标准） 内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
