Printed circuit boards are vital components of modern electronics. However, once they have served their purpose, they are often burned or buried in landfills, polluting the air, soil and water. Most concerning are the flame retardants （阻燃剂）added to printed circuit boards to keep them from catching fire. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering have developed a ball-milling method to break down these potentially harmful compounds enabling safer disposal （处理）. Composed of 30% metallic and 70% nonmetallic particles, printed circuit boards support and connect all of the electrical components of a device. Metallic components can be recovered from circuit boards easily using traditional methods leaving behind nonmetallic particles including those flame retardants and other additives. Scientists have found that compounds in those flame retardants can do harm to people's health, especially to those women who are pregnant. Therefore researchers have been wanting to develop a new method to remove the flame retardants from waste printed circuit boards so that they wouldn't do harm to people and the environment. The researchers broke down printed circuit boards and removed the metallic components. Then，they put the nonmetallic particles into a ball mill — a rotating （旋转的）machine that uses hard stone balls to make materials into very small pieces. They also added iron powder, which prior studies had shown was helpful for removing chemicals from organic compounds. After ball-milling, the harmful chemicals on the surface of the particles had decreased by 50%・ The researchers determined that during the ball-milling process, iron transferred electrons to flame retardant compounds causing the internal structure to stretch and break. The authors acknowledge funding from the 111 Project, the Natural Science Foundation of Guangdong Province, China and the Pearl River Star of Science and Technology. 1.People are concerned most about the flame retardants because A.they are harmful and hard to remove B.they keep circuit boards from catching fire C.they make up the largest part in electronics D.they are mixed up with other components 2.What is the function of the printed circuit board? A.Making electronics small and light. B.Preventing electronics catching fire. C.Connecting all electrical components, D.Allowing easy disposal after being used, 3.What does the author mainly intend to tell us in paragraph 3? A.How to operate the ball milk B.The ball-milling process and its result. C.The high efficiency of the new method. D.Why iron powder is added to the process. 4.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.The authors are short of money. B.Over 100 projects support the authors, C.The researchers will make much money. D.The ball-milling method is promising.
Lions are most successful at hunting animals during the darker period of the moon’s cycle. But how those prey (猎物) respond to changing threats as the night’s light changes throughout a month has been a mystery. Scientists spied on four of the lions' favorite prey species for several years. They fixed 225 cameras across an area. When animals came by, the cameras responded by taking their pictures. The prey — wildebeests (角马), zebras, gazelles (瞪羚) and buffalo — are all plant eaters. To meet their food needs, such species must searching for food frequently, even at night. The cameras showed that these species respond to changing risks across the lunar cycle in different ways. Common wildebeests, which make up a third of the lion’s diet, were the most sensitive to the lunar cycle. These animals appeared to set their plans for the entire night based on the moon’s change. During the darkest period of the month, they’d park themselves in a safe area. But as the nights got brighter, wildebeests were more willing to venture into places where run-ins with lions were likely. Weighing as much as 900 kilograms, the African buffalo are a lion’s most tough prey. They also were least likely to change where and when they searched for food throughout the lunar cycle. But as nights got darker, the buffalo were more likely to form herds (兽群). Plain zebras and gazelles also changed their evening routines with the lunar cycle. But unlike the other prey these animals reacted more directly to changing light levels across an evening. Gazelles were more active after the moon had come up. Zebras were sometimes up and about and doing things before the moon had risen. These behaviors show the wide-reaching effects of moonlight. It offers a very clear example of how the presence or absence of the moon can have fundamental, ecosystem-level impacts. 1.What can we infer from the first paragraph? A.Lions are excellent night hunters. B.How lions hunt has always been a mystery. C.Moonlight is a threat to the lion’s prey. D.Lion’s prey likes hunting for food at night 2.What do wildebeests usually do when there is no moon at night? A.Look for food. B.Wander in the filed C.Stay in a safe place. D.Explore dangerous places. 3.How do buffalo deal with the risk from lions when it is darker? A.They stay still at a place. B.They troop to search food. C.They ignore the lion. D.They change places frequently. 4.Which part of the site might this article come from? A.Food. B.Animal. C.Astronomy. D.Environment.
Even if you’ve never been to Phoenix, you know this about the place: It’s hot. But that doesn't stop hikers from attempting the 1.3-mile trek (跋涉) to the top of the city’s famed Camelback Mountain. Signs warn that the trail is “extremely difficult”. If you continue, a posted checklist suggests at least a liter of water per person. And if you keep climbing, another sign farther up declares; “If you’re halfway through your water turn around!” Unfortunately, many people do not pay attention to the warnings. Fortunately, Scott Cullymore does. The 53-year-old man hikes up and down Camelback a couple of times a day giving out cold bottles of water to worn-out hikers. He has helped so many hikers that he has earned a heavenly nickname: the Water Angel. I’d like a more manly name, but, you know, he told azfamily, com. Cullymore was on Camelback Mountain one day in 2015 when a British tourist died after being lost for nearly six hours in the July heat. That experience inspired him to start helping people caught unaware by Arizona’s unforgiving version of Mother Nature. “They underestimate the mountain, and they overestimate what they can do, and they get themselves in trouble,” he told the Arizona Republic. If a hiker has a red face and is not sweating anymore, Cullymore reaches into his insulated (隔热的) backpack, pulls out a frosty bottle, and hands it to the person. “It’s misleading that we’re in the middle of the city. You can die up here, and no one would know.” One hiker who received Cullymore’s water agrees. “You think you know the heat, but then you get out here in the desert and it surrounds you like a blanket,” he said, pointing to Cullymore, “but we are lucky, we run into this good man here.” And with that, the Water Angel goes in search of another hiker in need. 1.What is the purpose of the signs along the hike way? A.To show the trek is difficult. B.To warn hikers to take enough water. C.To frighten people to give up. D.To avoid hikers getting lost. 2.What does Scott Cullymone think of his nickname? A.It’s womanish. B.It’s manly. C.It’s ironic, D.It’s appropriate. 3.Who will Scott offer his help to? A.Anybody he meets. B.Those in the middle of the trek. C.Anyone in need of water. D.Those who sweat a lot. 4.What can be the best title of this text? A.A Desert-Like Mountain B.Fighting against Heat C.Necessities for Hiking D.Water Angel

Elephant, horse and cow wastes could be endless sources for a key element needed to make paper. It is good news for some nations where trees are scarce while animal wastes come in especially handy. The idea for the unusual use of elephant and cow wastes first came to mind when researcher Dr Alexander Bismarck noticed something strange about goat wastes while vacationing in Greece. He observed some goats eating summer-dry grass and came to an interesting conclusion about what they digest. Dr Bismarck said： “I realized what comes out in the end is partially digested plant matter so there must be cellulose （纤维素）there". Animals eat dry grass containing cellulose, chew it and digest it in their stomach and then produce wastes. Up to 40 percent of those wastes are cellulose, which is easily accessible. Therefore, making paper from the partially digested material would take much less energy than using raw wood. Additionally, it would require fewer chemical treatments. This supply of raw material is plenty： parks in Africa that are home to hundreds of elephants produce tons of wastes every day, and enormous cattle farms in the US and Europe produce mountains of wastes. In order to make paper, the material must be processed with a special method. But it requires little because there is no need to break it down into small parts for use in paper, in contrast to conventional methods which need a lot of energy to break down wood. Using wastes, we can reduce the number of steps needed in papermaking, simply because the animal already chewed the plant and attacked it with acid in their stomachs. You inexpensively produce a paper staff that has the same or even better properties than that from wood, with lower energy and chemical consumption. 1.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2? A.The observation of goat wastes. B.The usage of animal wastes. C.The origin of the unusual idea. D.The vacation spent in Greece. 2.Animal wastes can be used to make paper mainly because ________. A.they will never run out B.they are easy to access C.they are partly digested D.they contain much cellulose 3.What is the advantage of making paper from animal wastes? A.It is more profitable. B.It is energy-saving. C.It needs less material. D.It fits all parts of the world. 4.What is the probable explanation of the underlined word “attack"? A.Treat. B.Mix. C.Clean. D.Protect.
Agriculture plays an essential role in the rise of the human civilization. Even though agriculture is contributing to employment of a significant part of the population in majority nations, over the years, the percentage of workers has witnessed a steep decline. According to world-wide estimations, not even five percentage of the population in rich nations is employed in the agricultural sector. Agriculture is still the backbone of the economy in several nations of Africa. According to data released by the World Bank in 2017, the top ten countries where agriculture plays a vital role in employment are in Africa. Burundi, the landlocked nation on the eastern side of the continent, has 91% of its population dependent on it. However, only 15% of the total agricultural production goes to the market. Sweet potatoes, beans, bananas and corn, are some major crops produced on the land. The second largest employment in agriculture was also registered in an African country； Chad with 87% population working on the field. Other nations which follow on the list are： Somalia, Central African Republic, Malawi, Eritrea, Guinea-Bissau, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Niger, Mauritania, Madagascar and Mozambique. Amid the developing countries of BRICS, it is India where more people are employed by agriculture. The agriculture in India can be traced back to the era of Indus Valley Civilization. By 2017, 43 % of the Indian population is dependent on the agriculture sector for employment. Meanwhile, many developed countries witness less than 15 percent of their population engaged in the agriculture sector. These nations include Greece, Malaysia, Russia, New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Australia, France, Italy, Japan, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and many others. At the bottom of the list stand United Arab Emirates , Singapore and Hong Kong, with 0 % of its people employed in agriculture. 1.What does the writer want to highlight in the first paragraph? A.Agriculture is the foundation of civilization. B.Agriculture is the main sector of employment. C.Agriculture is the backbone of the economy. D.The agricultural population is in sharp decline. 2.Most part of the agricultural produce in Burundi ________. A.is for family use B.goes to the market C.is used for export D.goes to the government 3.Where does Central African Republic rank in employment in agriculture in the world? A.Second. B.Third. C.Fourth. D.Fifth. 4.We can infer from the text that the larger population in agriculture ________. A.the more developed the country B.the less developed the economy C.the more advanced the civilization D.the longer the history of a country

Having confidence isn’t always an easy thing to gain no matter who you are. Let me help you by giving some tips on how to improve your self-confidence. Make sure you understand the concept of acceptance. You must accept who you are. 1.Everyone has good qualities and it’s important to understand that about yourself. Make a list of the positive things about you. Forget your flaws or what you aren’t good at. 2.If you aren’t really sure, then ask family and friends. Go out and experience challenges.3. Learn more about yourself. We don’t know everything about us. Try new things. Challenging yourself to experience other things will make you learn more about who you are. This will help you feel prouder of yourself. 4. Set your own standards and realize everyone is different. You don’t have to live up to what others expect to feel confident. They don’t know what is best for you. Everyone’s idea of being successful can differ from others’. Make sure you’re honest with yourself and others. I’ve discovered if people aren’t honest with themselves, others usually aren’t very confident in them.5.Honesty is the secret to many good things. Start being honest with yourself and others, and it can make you a better person with more confidence. A.Forget the idea of having to please others.

G.You can’t change who you are and must realize you have good qualities.
For most kids, back-to-school time is usually bitter-sweet. The bitter part is saying goodbye to carefree, unscheduled summer days. The sweet part is saying hello to a new school year and school friends. This exciting time is filled with smells of new books, paper and pencils. Children might wear a new set of clothes. And, of course, there are the first-day-of-school pictures that parents share with family and friends. However, going back to school can also be a stressful time for children and families. Every kid must make the transition from easy summer life to routines, schedules and homework. Families will have financial concerns. Parents often need to pay school fees or to buy new school clothes, sports equipment, musical instruments and school supplies. Back-to-school stress is different for different ages. Younger children may feel scared to leave their families. Making new friends and dealing with bullying can also cause stress for them. Older students may be stressed about their appearances, grades and getting into a good college. However, parents, teachers and children can all help to make the transition back to school easier. Mary Anne Aidala, an award-winning teacher, advises parents to focus on the basics — let kids get enough sleep, eat healthy foods, and turn off electronics before bedtime. Lori Bambina has been a teacher for 22 years. She teaches first grade in NY now. According to her, routines and knowing what a teacher wants in the classroom help to reduce stress in kids. So, she focuses on the class routine during the start of the new school year. “Well, for the students, I have my classroom set up with a very clear system. So, I will introduce the system. Then I will revisit the system because at this young age they enjoy routines. And that routine is very comforting and will not cause them stress if they know exactly where things are located and what type of behavior is expected of them.” 1.Back-to-school time can be stressful for parents because ________. A.teachers will set many challenging tasks for them B.they don’t know how to reduce stress in their children C.they need to organize everything well for their children D.they have to spend a lot of money for the new school year 2.When older students go back to school, they may ________. A.be unwilling to go to college B.be worried about their studies C.be afraid to leave their parents D.have difficulty making friends 3.Lori Bambina believes students will feel less stressed ________. A.the classroom is decorated beautifully B.teachers have low expectations of them C.they know what they are expected to do D.they have a good relationship with teachers 4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A.Causes of back-to-school stress B.Mixed feelings about going back to school C.Getting school life back to normal D.Dealing with back-to-school stress
Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the greatest resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twentyfive thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort, even though some aspects of English usage and the meaning of many words have changed since Shakespeare’s day. However, it is surprising that we should know comparatively little about the life of the greatest English author. We know that Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford-on-Avon, and that he died there in 1616. He almost certainly attended the Grammar School in the town, but of this we cannot be sure. We know he was married there in 1582 to Anne Hathaway and that he had three children. We know that he spent much of his life in London writing his masterpieces. But this is almost all that we do know. However, what is important about Shakespeare’s life is not its details but the products, the plays and the poems. For many years scholars have been trying to add a few facts about Shakespeare’s life to the small number we already possess and for an equally long time critics have been theorizing about the plays. Sometimes, indeed, it seems that the poetry of Shakespeare will disappear under the great mass of comment that has been written upon it. Fortunately, this is not likely to happen. Shakespeare’s people have long delighted not just the English but lovers of literature everywhere, and will continue to do so after the scholars and critics and all their works have been forgotten. 1.What’s Para.1 mainly about? A.The great varieties in writing styles. B.The great length of Shakespeare’s works. C.The richness of the content in Shakespeare’s works. D.The rich English language used by Shakespeare in his works. 2.According to the passage, which of the following remains uncertain about Shakespeare? A.His date of birth. B.His marriage. C.His life in the Grammar School. D.His date of death. 3.What does the last sentence in Para.3 mean? A.People can’t see the poetry of Shakespeare any more. B.The comment is printed on the poetry of Shakespeare. C.People don’t think the poetry of Shakespeare good any more. D.Some people pay more attention to the comment than to Shakespeare’s poetry. 4.The underlined phrase “Shakespeare’s people” in Para.4 refers to ________. A.the characters in Shakespeare’s works B.the people whose native language is English C.the people living in Shakespeare’s day D.the readers of Shakespeare’s works
Coca-Cola, which reportedly produced more than 3 million tons of plastic packaging in 2017, announced Thursday it wants to “help fix the world’s plastic waste problem one community (社区) at a time.” The soda giant is doing so by providing $ 5.4 million for recycling programs in cities like Atlanta, Boston, Denver and Houston. In these cities, partners, like The Green Blue Institute and The Recycling Partnership, which receive the money, will work together to improve recycling rates. “We focus on areas where we have the ability to make the biggest influence on communities through the funding and expert skills of Coca-Cola employees,” Carlos Pagoagoa, Coca-Cola’s group director of community partnerships, said in a statement. “In each city, local partners will work together to identify barriers to recycling on a local level and test a range of solutions,” he added. “We hope the learnings from these ‘model markets’ can offer solutions to other cities facing similar challenges.” As part of the effort, The Recycling Partnership and the city of Atlanta, where the cola company’s headquarters are based, will send street teams out to open recycling carts and leave citizens cards informing them what they can and can’t recycle, and let them know how their efforts work. “Two of the most urgent problems with recycling in the U. S. today are lack of access, followed by pollution in recycling,” Keefe Harrison, CEO of The Recycling Partnership, said in a statement. “We know from the success of Atlanta in 2017 that the citizens want to recycle, and that communicating with them in the street works.” Last year, Coca-Cola announced its task to collect and reuse a bottle or can for each one it sells, and increase the amount of its products out of recycled materials to 50% by 2030. The brand also aims to make all its packaging fully recyclable by 2025. 1.What does Coca-Cola company intend to do in the program? A.Produce less packaging. B.Help deal with plastic waste. C.Pick up waste in communities. D.Build a plant to recycle plastic waste. 2.What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about? A.How Coca-Cola conducts its program. B.What organizations participate in the program. C.How Coca-Cola chooses cities for the program. D.What the local people do in Coca-Cola’s program. 3.What do street teams do to help? A.Sort out various waste in the city. B.Look into the cause of pollution. C.Instruct local people what to recycle. D.Hand cards to the locals in person. 4.What does Keefe Harrison think of the program? A.Promising. B.Difficult. C.Pioneering. D.Costly.
The skin under the eyes is delicate, which is why it sometimes appears sunken and has darker coloring than elsewhere on the face. Aging and health problems play a role in sunken eyes but other factors can contribute too, so it may affect younger people as well. Dehydration The most common cause of sunken eyes is dehydration, or not having enough water in the body. Consuming too much coffee, soda, and prepackaged drinks may increase production of urine, which may lead to dehydration. Vitamin shortages Shortages of vitamin C, vitamin K, and iron can cause eyes to become sunken. Vitamin C helps with absorbing iron and decreasing bruising, while vitamin K is responsible for blood thickening, the lack of which may cause unhealthy skin. Easy bruising and unhealthy skin will result in sunken eyes. Weight loss Most people tend to lose weight in their face first. Sometimes, the weight loss is sudden enough to make blood vessels below the eyes easy to see, and the skin clear, producing the appearance of sunken eyes. Sudden weight loss may also cause nutritional shortages, which can lead to sunken eyes. Not enough sleep or poor-quality sleep can cause sunken eyes and a person’s DNA or the habit of smoking can also contribute to sunken eyes. Most cases of sunken eyes relate to the quality of an individual’s nutrition and healthy living. When these causes are corrected, sunken eyes can be resolved without further treatment. This means that causes can be avoided or treated in good time to prevent the recurrence of sunken eyes. 1.What can we do to prevent dehydration according to the text? A.Have certain drinks less. B.Refuse coffee. C.Drink more water. D.Say no to soft drinks. 2.What will lead to bruising below the eyes? A.Lack of vitamin K. B.Water shortages. C.Lack of vitamin C. D.Nutritional shortages. 3.Which of the following should be avoided for people losing weight? A.Pale faces. B.Sudden weight loss. C.Clean skin. D.Narrow blood vessels.

Five biggest career mistakes young workers make When you begin to dive into the working world, there are a few common mistakes you should try to avoid. 1. Whether it is asking for a raise or just voicing an opinion, it is important to stand up for yourself in the office. As long as you do it in a respectful and professional way, your colleagues will be impressed by your confidence. Goofing off（混日子） You may think no one is looking at what you are doing all day, but the fact is your computer screen can be seen by all who pass by.2. Even though your boss may seem relaxed, he is not going to appreciate an employee who seems to care more about his friend’s status updates than his actual work. Dressing inappropriately One thing that can either help or hurt you is how you present yourself. If you dress too casually, you could be sending the wrong message to your coworkers. Just because you have it doesn’t mean the office is the place to wear it. 3. Being late for work You could be the hardest worker in the office or do extra work at home, but if you are consistently late for work, you give off the impression that you are lazy.4.Your professional reputation is a vital part of getting ahead in your industry and being late for work might be unimportant, but could result in all your hard work being gradually ignored. Acting too confidently It is a common problem with young professionals. It is sometimes hard for recent college graduates to change from top-of-the-food-chain seniors to professional “freshmen.” 5.In addition, you must know your place in the company. A.If you want to be taken seriously, dress seriously. B.Talking unprofessionally. C.So it is important to limit the amount of time you spend on non-work-related sites. D.Being afraid to speak up. E.Sometimes, it can be difficult to be taken seriously as a young professional. F.Now that you are out of the college, you must remember to be modest. G.People notice who stays late and who comes in early and will form an opinion about you.
