Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often【1】guests(旅客) with things like disposable(一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste(牙膏), shampoo(洗發(fā)水) and slippers(拖鞋).

Many guests like the idea【2】they don’t have to bring their own. But if you travel to Beijing, 【3】[r’memb(r)] to bring these things of your own. That’s because some hotels in Beijing have no longer provided guests with these disposables (一次性用品). Many disposable things are【4】(make)of plastic. People throw them【5】[’we] after only using them once. It’s a waste of natural resources (資源) and is very bad for the environment.

In Beijing, people throw around about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of lunch bowls every year!

Plastic can take 100 to 400 years to break down(降解). So the【6】 (little) plastic we throw away, the better environment we will have.

So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and 【7】. Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your【8】[‘evride] life:

Use【9】(clothes)shopping bags, not plastic ones.

【題目】閱讀短文，根據(jù)要求完成文后的題目。

Do you know that in some parts of the world, people build temporary (暫時(shí)的) hotels made of snow and blocks of ice? These are known as ice hotels.

Unlike usual hotels, all the rooms in the ice hotels are made of ice. In some ice hotels, even the glasses for drinks are made of ice blocks. So they only serve cold drinks. Also, hot food is not served in the ice hotels, but guests can eat hot food at places nearby.

To keep warm, guests sleep in comfortable sleeping bags on ice blocks that are covered by mattresses (床墊) and reindeer skins (馴鹿皮).

There are some places in the ice hotels that are heated, such as the bathrooms. This is because, even though it is not as cold in the ice hotels as it is outdoors, indoor temperatures are still very low.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about the ice hotels is that they are rebuilt every year. They can be used only during the winter months. The ice hotels melt (融化) away when spring arrives. The ice blocks used to build these hotels are from nearby rivers. So, when the ice hotels melt away, they melt back into the rivers.

We'd spend the evening together talking about very little but what programme was on at that time. Then the family decided, after lots of arguments (爭(zhēng)論), that we would try to do without a for one year.

【題目】 In Jinzhong, Shanxi Province, there is a group of people who are busy drawing maps around. They are not workers on geography, but dispatchers(調(diào)度員) on Emergency(急救) Center of the city.

Since 2007, the dispatchers in the center have been drawing maps of the local areas.

“A dispatcher’s job is counted in seconds,” says Liang Ruimei, a dispatcher in the center. She has been working in the center since it started in 2007. “We must answer the phone in 3 seconds, get clear information about the patient in 60 seconds and dispatch(調(diào)度) emergency medical workers in 3 minutes at most. If we save one second, the patient may have a better chance to live.”

Although nowadays the center has electronic maps, the dispatchers still walk through the streets to draw maps by hand.

After many years’ hard work, the dispatchers keep every building and street of the city in mind. They even know whether or not a car can enter the gate of a building. Sometimes the caller can’t tell clearly where he is, but it doesn’t matter. As long as he describes the buildings around, the dispatcher can dispatch emergency medical workers to him.

“We are trying to be quicker than Death,” says Liang.

【1】Is Liang Ruimei a dispatcher in Emergency Center of Jinzhong?

______________________________________________________

【2】When did Emergency Center of Jinzhong start?

【3】To be quicker than Death, what do the dispatchers in Emergency Center of Jinzhong do?

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

【題目】 Mark Zuckerberg, who starts the social network Facebook, often wears jeans and a T-shirt to work, including to important business meetings. Not everyone agrees with him. Some people say he doesn't look serious this way.

Harvard Business School researcher, Franccsca Gino, has a different idea. While most people seem to think that dressing differently from those around you generally has a bad influence, she believes it can actually have a positive(積極的) effect. And she’s done experiments to support her idea. When her researchers, wearing sportswear, visited the expensive shops an Italy, they were usually viewed as wealthier and more important people than those who were well-dressed in designer clothes.

Do people always view less formal(正式的) clothing more positively? Researchers in France took their research out into the street, to the general public. The video they made shows an actor dressed in a well-cut suit and shiny shoes. While walking along the road, he begins to cough badly, stops to catch his breath and falls down. Before he even calls for help, people rush to help him. In another video, the actor appears at the same crowded place and repeats the actions in exactly the same way. But this time, no one comes to help. What’s the difference? He’s wearing untidy clothes and looks like a homeless person. In a situation like this, the clothes you’re wearing could mean the difference between life and death.

It seems that our clothing doesn’t only change the way others view us, but also the way we see ourselves. In an experiment testing students’ ability to pay attention to details(細(xì)節(jié)), the group wearing white lab coats did the best. Why? Researchers told them that they were wearing the doctors coats. The experiment didn’t show whether such influences would last long. More experiments are needed in the future before we decide to make the doctors’ coats a must of fashion.

【1】Mark Zuckerberg is not considered serious by some people because ____.

A. he does not listen to others’ adviceB. he sets up a network of video games

C. he wears jeans and a T-shirt to workD. he often plays jokes at business meetings

【2】Which of the following is Gino’s opinion according to Paragraph 2?

A. It is necessary to buy expensive clothes.

B. Wearing less formal clothes is in fact good.

C. It is bad to dress differently from people around you.

D. Wearing sports clothes makes you look less important.

【3】In Paragraph 3, the writer proves(證明) his ( her ) opinion mainly ____.

A. by giving reasonsB. by using pictures

C. by comparing factsD. by listing numbers

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A. What we wear makes a difference.B. Formal clothing makes a wise man.

C. Our value depends on what we wear.D. Our clothing influences our characters.
