2.Maybe no one forgets their first bicycle and there is no exception to a woman like me.Mine was a Schwinn coaster bike,second-hand,painted a distinctive red and yellow by its previous owner.I remember riding too fast down the big hill on Springfield Avenue.I knew at once that the world was mine to explore.
A couple of years later,when I was 11,my grandmother visited from England,bringing me a bike.It was a shiny dark green,with three gears(齒輪)and hand brakes.As the owner of the first English bicycle my neighbors had ever seen,I was,for a time,almost a star.
Unlike my coaster bike,it was light and responsive — riding it felt like flying.I rode it past big stone houses with their huge yards and trees.I rode past brick row houses.I rode alone and with groups of friends.
That beloved bike went with me to college,carrying me to the library and to classes.Beyond transport,it was often a prop (道具):pushing it along as I walked the college paths made me feel less self-conscious.Somehow,conversation flowed more easily on either side of a bike.
After college,I lived abroad for a time.Returning from London,I discovered to my horror that my parents had sold my bike.They didn't even know who had bought it.
For years after that,I didn't have a bicycle that was specifically mine.Teaching in a New England prep school,I simply rode whatever bikes its graduates had left behind.I rode around the little town on bikes which slipped in and out of gear,with brakes that often failed.
I did not take any of those bikes with me when I moved south to the coastal town where I now live.But after a while I missed riding.Finally,on a fall day,I bought a bicycle.Called a comfort bike,it has wider tires than my old bike and seven gears.But it is green — a brighter green bike.
Still,I was a bit apprehensive.I was out of practice and a lot older.I brought the bike home and put on my helmet — I'd never worn a helmet before.Then I got on the bike.After a tentative,slightly shaky start,I fell exactly as I was on that long-ago day on Springfield Avenue:free.Soon I was riding along.It seemed that everyone I passed smiled and waved or call out,great day for a bike ride!And I knew they all remembered their first bike and how it had set them free.I wanted to call back to them, "I still can!"

3.You've heard that plastic is polluting the ocean—between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year.But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference?Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage,forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year,the artist built a piece called "Strawpocalypse," a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves,frozen mid-crash.Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups,the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled.Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source(來源)of plastic pollution,but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and,because of their small size and weight,they cannot be recycled.Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes.Once the drink is gone,the straw will take centuries to disappear.
In a piece from 2018,Von Wong wanted to illustrate(說明)a specific statistic:Every 60 seconds,a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean.For this work,titled "Truckload of Plastic," Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic,which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped(傾倒) from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.
(1)What are Von Wong's artworks intended for?
A.Beautifying the city he lives in.
B.Introducing eco-friendly products.
C.Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
D.Reducing garbage on the beach.
(2)Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?
A.To show the difficulty of their recycling.
B.To explain why they are useful.
C.To voice his views on modern art.
D.To find a substitute for them.
(3)What effect would "Truckload of Plastic" have on viewers?
A.Calming.
B.Disturbing.
C.Refreshing.
D.Challenging.
(4)Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Artists' Opinions on Plastic Safety
B.Media Interest in Contemporary Art
C.Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
D.Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures組卷:4引用:1難度:0.5

The rain came down steady and hard.Jason Storie heard it but was not worried as he prepared for a day of caving with five friends in a remote spot 80 miles northwest of his home in Duncan,on Canada's Vancouver Island.
It was 6 a.m.jye.ai December 5,2015.As a newcomer to the sport,Jason had gone caving only four times.This would be his toughest outing yet:a cave called Cascade.It was dangerous enough that the entrance was blocked by a locked metal door to keep the casual cavers out.About a mile long and 338 feet deep,Cascade was full of turns and barely passable tight squeezes.
Jason was new among the group,with the least experience and,at 43,older by a decade or more.It was his friend Andrew Munoz,33,who introduced him to the sport.Unlike Jason,Andrew was an expert caver-a former caving guide,actually.
They hiked a bit before coming to the door,which sat in the ground—you'd miss it if you weren't looking for jye.ai.It was 10 a.m.With their way lighted by headlamps,they walked down a narrow passage studded with sharp rocks.The silence was broken by a drip-drip-drip from above.Soon the drip turned into a light but steady flow,and they were wading in water up to their ankles,then to their shins.
Two hours later,they approached one of the features that made the cave unique:a narrow passage not big enough to stand up in that led into a short,tight downhill.This had a name:Bastard's Crawl.Four streams met here,and indeed,the water was flowing more quickly.The sound of the water had turned into a roar.When they finally neared the top of the Crawl,there were barely four inches of air left between the water and the ceiling not enough for them to keep their heads up to breathe.They came to terrifying realization that they were in danger!
