【題目】 At most schools, “going green” means bringing out less trash or trying to recycle. But at New York’s Riverdale Country School, it means asking kids to run and even jump in the hallway. That’s because on January 7th, 2014, the school became the first place for the floor tiles（瓷磚）.

The tiles get energy made by the kids and turn it into electricity that can be used for classroom lights, science projects. The first US installation（安裝）of eight tiles near the school’s student center thanks to 14-year-old Zach Halem, who tried to ask the officials to buy them.

Besides providing fun green energy, the tiles also serve as a learning tool. Every time a student walks on one, a screen will show how much energy was generated（產(chǎn)生）. It makes kid feel proud because of saving energy.

Made largely from rubber and other recycled materials, the tiles that have been around since 2009, are the idea of 26-year-old British Industrial designer Laurence Kembell Cook. While new to the US, they have been installed in many places in Europe－from a London underground station during the 2012 Olympic to a street in Paris.

However, it was not until PaveGen started getting popular in London schools that Laurence realized that his invention not only saved energy, but was also fun!

【1】Trying to recycle means “going green” at most schools.

【2】14-year-old Zach Halem invented the special floor tiles.

【3】When students walk on a tile, it can provide energy.

【4】The tiles are made from rubber and some other new things.

【5】The tiles can save energy, but they are too boring.

【答案】

【1】T

【2】F

【3】T

【4】F

【5】F

【解析】

這篇短文主要講述了Laurence發(fā)明了一種新的節(jié)能方式，可以利用人走路跑跳動(dòng)能轉(zhuǎn)化為電能提供電力，這種方式不僅環(huán)保還很有趣，深受大眾歡迎。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中“At most schools, “going green” means bringing out less trash or trying to recycle.” 在大多數(shù)學(xué)校，變綠意味著少帶垃圾或設(shè)法回收。這個(gè)說法與“Trying to recycle means “going green” at most school.”一致。故選T。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中“thanks to 14-year-old Zach Halem, who tried to ask the officials to buy them.” 多虧14歲的扎克·哈勒姆（Zach Halem），他試圖讓政府官員購買這些瓷磚。題干“14-year-old Zach Halem invented the special floor tiles.”是錯(cuò)誤的，不是這個(gè)孩子發(fā)明的。故選F。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中“Every time a student walks on one, a screen will show how much energy was generated（產(chǎn)生）.”每當(dāng)一個(gè)學(xué)生走在一個(gè)上面，屏幕就會(huì)顯示出產(chǎn)生了多少能量。題干“When students walk on a tile, it can provide energy.”是正確的。故選T。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中“Made largely from rubber and other recycled materials the tiles that have been around since 2009, are the idea of 26-year-old British Industrial designer Laurence Kembell-Cook.”可知，主要由橡膠和其他再生材料制成的瓷磚。題干“The tiles are made from rubber and some other new things.”是錯(cuò)誤的，并沒有包含新材料。故選F。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中“Laurence realized that his invention not only saved energy, but was also fun!” 勞倫斯才意識(shí)到他的發(fā)明不僅節(jié)省了能源，而且很有趣！這個(gè)說法與“The tiles can save energy, but they are too boring.”矛盾。故選F。

【題目】 Maybe you are an average(一般的) student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how.

Plan your time carefully. When planning your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a plan of your time. First, your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don' t forget to set enough time for entertainment(娛樂). A weekly plan may not work out all your problems, but it will push you to realize what is happening to your time.

Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study place. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a comer of your room, free of everything but study materials(材料). No game, radio, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate(集中精力) on your subject.

Make good use of your time. Listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

Develop a good attitude(態(tài)度) to tests. The purpose(目的) of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don' t pass a test, so don't be overly worried.

There are other ideas that might help you with your studying. You will probably find many others after you have tried these.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，完成下列小題。

【1】How many ways of becoming a good student are mentioned in the passage?

________________________________________________________________________________

【2】Is it a good plan if you spend all your time studying?

【3】What should you keep on your desk in order to concentrate on your subject?

【題目】 Have you ever heard of e-waste(electric waste, 電子垃圾), which can be produced every day? How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they’re broken or you want a new one? Most people just throw them away. With the development of electric industry, e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in 2014, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 6.5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.

Whether e-waste can be valuable or harmful depends on how we deal with it. People should pay much more attention to e-waste. E-waste is a valuable urban mine（城市礦藏）. The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic chemicals（有毒化學(xué)物質(zhì)） can get into the earth or air, effecting the environment and people’s health.

What can we do if we don`t throw the e-waste away? We can recycle it. Now some companies have set up their recycling programs. First, they recycle the used products from those who buy new ones from their company. Then they test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce e-waste, we can get computers and phones from those recycling programs.

第一小題題完成句子,第二、三小題簡略回答問題, 第四小題找出并寫下第二段的主題句, 第五小題將穩(wěn)中劃線句子翻譯成漢語。

【1】According to the United Nations, China produced _____________ of e-waste in 2014.

【3】What do some companies do in order to reduce e-waste?
