1. After a tour of duty in Afghanistan,Benjamin Blume began to attend Sam Houston State University,USA.But he felt there was something missing.That all changed when Blume attended a study program abroad.With the help of the staff at the Office of International Programs and the Veterans Resource Center (退伍老兵資源中心),he was able to take seven study trips abroad,visiting 19 countries in just three years.
Blume's first stop was Leipzig,Germany for a German language program in the summer of 2018.Later that summer,Blume visited Australia as part of the stars and galaxy (星系) course. "There was a major eclipse (日食) in Australia that summer and it was an amazing thing to see," Blume said. "We also visited Wyoming after leaving Australia for the same course to see the sky."
In the fall of 2018,Blume took off again this time visiting Bern,Switzerland for a business course.Blume returned for the 2019 spring term before his next adventure that summer in Tokyo for a month-long economics trip. "Tokyo was quite the experience and like nothing I had seen before," Blume said. "I had never experienced so much culture and history as I did there."
Blume went from Tokyo back to Germany,this time visiting Aachen for an economics program.After returning to the US and staying for a month,Blume travelled to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates for a three-week marketing program.Finally,Blume took his seventh and last study abroad trip to Auckland,New Zealand. "New Zealand was probably my favorite place to visit because the landscape is so diverse."

2.I was in the seventh grade,and we had moved to New Jersey in November.By then,everyone already had had their own friends,and no one wanted to talk to a new girl.To make things worse,they put me in "Section L".I found out later that everyone called Section L "Loserville".It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids.When I found out,I wanted to scream.I had always been a good student and had amazing friends,and now everyone thought I was a loser!
I did text my friends in Illinois almost every night,especially my best friend,Ana.At first my friends wanted to hear all about it.But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was.One night when I was texting with Ana,I complained about another friend who had just done that.
Ana's texts came really fast for the next few minutes and they surprised me.She said that she was tired of hearing about how bad everything was in New Jersey,too.She said she did not want to hurt my feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time,and I had to try to make things better.
The next day,I thought a lot about what Ana had said.She was right!
I wish I could say that everything changed overnight after that,but it didn't.I was still stuck in "Loserville",and some people were still mean to me,even though I tried to just stay out of their way.
But what did change was me - I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends.I signed up to make sets for the school play.I met a lot of new people there,and suddenly I had friends to say hi to in the halls!
I still miss Illinois sometimes,but life in New Jersey isn't so hard anymore.Even though I couldn't change my situation,I could change my attitude - and that made all the difference.

A.failures

D.newcomers
(2)The writer complained all the time in the new environment because

(3)What made a difference in changing the situation?

C.She fought back with her classmates.
D.She began to make friends with others.
(4)The best title for the passage can be

D.Say Goodbye to "Loserville"組卷:0引用:2難度:0.7 -
3.Recycling in general can be an effective way to reuse natural material resources.The U.S.'s high recycling rate of paper,68 percent,has proved this point.But although some materials can be effectively recycled and safely made from recycled content,plastics cannot.Plastic recycling does not work and will never work.
The problem with recycling plastic lies not with the concept or process but with the material itself.There are thousands of different plastics,each with its own characteristics.They all include different chemicals that cannot be recycled together,making it impossible to sort the trillions of pieces of plastics into separate types for processing.What's more,plastic recycling costs more than new plastic because collecting,sorting,transporting,and reprocessing plastic waste is very expensive.
Despite this obvious failure,the plastics industry has begun a decades-long campaign to keep the lie that the material is recyclable,which reminds the public of the tobacco industry's efforts to tell smokers that filtered (過濾的) cigarettes are healthier than unfiltered cigarettes.
Traditional mechanical recycling,in which plastic waste is ground up and melted (熔化),has been around for many decades.Now the plastics industry is promoting the benefits of so-called chemical recycling,in which plastic waste is broken down using high heat and turned into a low-quality fossil fuel.In 2018,Dow Chemical claimed that the Renewlogy chemical-recycling factory in Salt Lake City was able to reprocess mixed plastic waste through the "Hefty EnergyBag" program and turn it into diesel fuel (柴油).As Reuters showed in a 2021 survey,however,the pyrolysis (高溫分解) process was not worth it.
We're not making a case for hopelessness.Just the opposite(相反的).We need the facts so that individuals and policymakers can take action.Proven solutions to the plastic-waste and pollution problems exist and can be quickly copied across the country.These solutions include placing bans on single-use plastic bags and unrecyclable single-use plastic food-service products,and installing dishwashing equipment in schools.
Consumers can put pressure on companies to stop filling store shelves with single-use plastics by not buying them and instead choosing reusables and products in better packaging.And we should all keep recycling our paper,boxes,cans,and glass,because that actually works.
(1)What is the problem with recycled plastic?
A.It costs too much to produce.
B.It can hardly be selected out.
C.It is generally of poor quality.
D.It can't be stored in large numbers.
(2)What is the plastics industry trying to do?
A.To compete with the tobacco industry.
B.To cut down the cost of recycling plastic.
C.To uncover the lie of the tobacco industry.
D.To prove the possibility of recycling plastic.
(3)What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A.Traditional recycling proves to be safer.
B.Chemical recycling turns out to be a failure.
C.Chemical recycling can save energy resources.
D.Traditional recycling can deal with limited waste.
(4)What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To show the difficulty in recycling plastic.
B.To introduce a new way of recycling plastic.
C.To stress the importance of recycling plastic.
D.To call for a ban on single-use plastic products.組卷:1引用:2難度:0.5

When I was in Primary Five,I was in the basketball school team.Every month we would have a basketball match against another school's basketball team.In spite of all the cheers we received from our classmates and the amount of training we had,we had never won a single match before.That was due to our lack of teamwork and cooperation.
During one of our training sessions,our school team was divided into two to have a match against each ojye.air.The inter-school competition was coming up and none of us wanted to miss our chance of getting that gold trophy(獎(jiǎng)品). "Three,two,one,start!" our basketball coach,Coach Leong,shouted.John,who was in my team,managed to grab the ball that Coach Leong threw in the air.Since John grabbed the ball,he refused to let anyone,not even his teammates,take it.
"Pass the ball to me,John!" I shouted.I was in a good position to shoot the ball into the hoop(籃筺).To my shock,John made a rude face at me.I made an attempt to grab the ball from him.When I got my hands on the ball,it became a tug-of-war(激烈競(jìng)爭(zhēng)) between John and me.Coach Leong shook his head and exploded like an active volcano. "Children!Is this the type of behavior that I should be seeing?The match is in two weeks!Do you even know the importance of teamwork?" Coach Leong gave us a disappointed look.It seemed as if he had some sad news to tell us.
I was right.
Coach Leong explained that he would be retiring after the match. "I hope you can show me your teamwork and cooperate with one another in this match before I retire." I choked on my tears.My heart sank.We were giving Coach Leong such a tough time,when all he wanted was for us to show teamwork in the match.After that day,my teammates and I were determined to do our best and work as a team.
注意:
(1)續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;
(2)請(qǐng)按如下格式在相應(yīng)位置作答。
Para.1 On the day of the match,we stood face-to-face with our opponents,the team from River Primary School._____
Para.2 John did a perfect overhead throw and I caught the ball in mid-air.______組卷:9引用:4難度:0.2
