2、ountries, like Greece, we often buy bottles of cold water in summer. However, making lots of plastic is not a good idea for many reasons. First of all, we need a lot of oil for plastic products. We usually use oil as a source(资源) of energy. If we reduced the number of bottles we made, we wouldnt nee

3、d so much oil. Plastic bottles also pollute the environment. If we recycled all our plastic bottles, we wouldnt need so much space for rubbish dumps. But in Greece, we dont recycle much of the plastic we use. In 2006, Greeks recycled only about 10% of plastic waste. The rest became rubbish on land a

4、nd in rivers and seas. So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the litter bin, stop and think. If you recycled it, you would help the environment. But what can you do when there isnt a recycling bin near you? Well, there are lots of useful ways that you can use your bottles again. Fo

5、r example, an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money, and if you cut a bottle in half, you will have a plant pot. Go green!

8、读理解 Possible Earth-Like Planet Next Door?Scientists say they discovered an earth-like planet outside our solar system (太阳系). It is a planet that could support life.This planet is just 4.2 light years away from us. It is so close that space scientists have considered it as a next door neighbor. They

9、say it could be reached by an unmanned spaceship before the end of the century - in time for people alive today to see it.An international team of scientists found the planet moving around the star called Proxima Centauri. The result came out last month from the scientific magazine Nature.Scientists

10、 have long thought that a planet with water is important for life. And it has to be neither too hot nor too cold. The newly-discovered planet is a little larger than earth Scientists have named it Proxima B. It moves around its sun, Proxima Centauri, once every 11 days.American scientists have been

11、using instruments for years to look for earth-like planets. In 2013, scientists best guess was that there are about one billion (1,000 million) earths in space.Alan Boss is the chairman of a group for outer space research. He said that Proxima B not only confirms (确认) the discovery of a planet, but

12、also increases the number of other possible“earths” greatly.Boss said it is possible, even likely, that most stars have at least one earth-like planet, which he considers surprising.So from the early number of a billion, this new research suggests there may be as many possible earth-like planets as

13、there are stars in the Galaxy (银河系). That is, anywhere from 250 billion to 500 billion earths.This makes the possibility of living things increasingly likely Boss said he believes human beings will be able to show that there is life in places besides earth in his lifetime. I am 65, he said, but I ex

14、pect to still be alive when it happens.（1） When will it be possible for an unmanned spaceship to reach Proxima B? A . In about eighty years.B . In about 4.2 years.C . In about eleven days.D . In about one billion years.（2） In the fourth paragraph, the writer thinks that _ is necessary for life. A .

15、waterB . lightC . airD . wind（3） What does the underlined word This stand for in the last paragraph? A . Scientists have discovered an earth-like planet last month.B . There are far more earth-like planets than people thought.C . Proxima B is not far from earth and is just like our neighbor.D . The

16、Galaxy will be the only place for living things to live in.（4） What does Alan Boss mean by saying but I expect to still be alive when it happens? A . His health is in good state and hes sure he will live a long life.B . Science is developing much faster than ever in recent years.C . Scientists may s

17、oon find fact that theres life on other planets.D . America is far ahead of other countries in space research.3. （10分） (2016天津) 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plan. So airlines（

18、航空公司）offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they dont want to lose customers.However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane foo

19、d tastes bad is that at high altitude（海拔）we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure（气压）reduces one third of the sensibility（感觉）of our taste buds（味蕾）

20、. So our taste buds become senseless. The sad face, however, is that our noses dont know it.All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy（辛辣的）food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.Now there

21、are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they cant deal with the sp

22、ecial environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.（1） In Paragraph 2, “this problem” means _. A . passengers stay long in the planeB . food on the plane tastes badC . passengers have no food to eatD . food on the plane is expensive（2） W

Reduce the ticket price.（3） As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces of the sensibility of our taste buds. A . halfB . one thirdC . one fourthD . one fifth（4） Why do scien

24、tists feel it hard to made food on the plane taste good? A . The volunteers dont know about food taste.B . The volunteers dont understand them.C . They cant find enough volunteers.D . They cant deal with the special environment successfully.（5） What is the best title of the passage? A . Taste of Air

25、plane FoodB . Airplane TravelC . Scientific Research on NosesD . The Change in Air Pressure4. （10分） (2018杭州模拟) 阅读理解 Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes (基因) decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the

26、height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then maybe you will be tall, too, but if you have questions about how tall youre going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it.But genes dont decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to y

27、our full potential (潜力). Getting enough sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the right height.No doubt (怀疑) youre wondering how fast you should grow .It depends. Theres no perfect or right answer. Kids grow about 2 inches (5 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when they start p

28、uberty (when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up). Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. 2 centimeters here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height youre at now, how youve been growing up to this point, and what other changes your

29、body may be going through.Dont be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt (高峰) during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about II for boys. But it can be earlier or later-between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.Yo
