19、en thought of as “unrecyclable”. But a New Jersey-based company, called TerraCycle, has taken on the challenge, and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette butts and turn them into industrial plastic products. Its aim is to take items that people normally consider impossible to recyc

20、le, and then use science to figure out a way to do just that.Despite the increase in anti-smoking ads and messaging over the past 20 years, global sales of cigarettes increased by 4 percent, and a whole lot of those cigarette butts are ending up as trash, which can surely pollute the surrounding env

21、ironment.So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful? TerraCycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts. They mix the remaining materials, such as the tobacco and the paper, with other kinds of rubbish, and use it on non-agricultural land, such as

22、 golf courses. The filters (過濾嘴) are a little harder. To recycle these, TerraCycle first makes them clean and cuts them into small pieces, and then combines them with other recycled materials, making them into liquid for industrial plastic products.They now have more than 3,000 cigarette recycling b

23、ins in nine countries around the world. Theyre also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 40 percent of household waste that currently cant be recycled, such as chocolate packaging, pens, and mobile phones. The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste e

28、taring out of the window during a flight, not everyone will think carefully about the question why airplanes have rounded windows rather than square ones.Over the years, aerospace engineering has made huge steps in airplane technology, meaning planes can carry more passengers and go faster. The plan

29、es have also changed shape to increase safetyincluding the windows. As commercial air travel took off in the mid20th century, airline companies began to fly at higher altitudes to lower their costthe air density(密度) is lower up there, creating less drag(阻力) for airplanes. However, higher altitudes c

30、ame with problems, like the fact human beings cant really survive at 30，000 feet. To make that possible, the cabin was changed to a cylindrical(圓柱體) shape to support the pressure inside. But at first, plane builders left in the standard square windows and this expansion meant disaster. The de_Havill

31、and_Comet came into fashion in the 1950s. With a closed cabin, it was able to go higher and faster than other aircraft.However, where theres a corner, theres a weak spot. Windows, having four corners, have four potential weak spots, making them likely to crash under stresssuch as air pressure. By cu

32、rving the window, the stress that would eventually break the window corner is distributed and the chance of it breaking is reduced. Rounded shapes are also stronger and resist deformation(變形), and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressure between the inside and outside of the aircraft.For

33、tunately, designers figured out the lack of design pretty quick. Now we have nice, rounded airplane windows that can resist the pressure of traveling altitude. It gives being able to gaze out of your window to the world from 35，000 feet a whole new outlook, doesnt it?1、Why did airlines aim to fly at

34、 higher altitudes?ATo save money for less drag.BTo help the plane to take off.CTo increase safety of the plane.DTo carry more passengers and go faster.2、What does the underlined words “de Havilland Comet” in Paragraph 2 refer to?AAn aircraft.BA band.CA planet.DA design.3、Which is the advantage of th

Whether by design or by accident, there are some pioneers whose achievements changed the course of history but whose names are unknown to us.James Harriso

37、nJames Harrison has saved the lives of over two million people by donating his blood 1,173 times, a Guinness world record. His blood produces a rare antibody (抗體) which cures the otherwise deadly Rhesus disease in unborn children. It has also been used in the development of a medicine anti-D, which

38、will cure the Rhesus disease in children forever.Lewis LatimerAfter helping Alexander Graham Bell obtain his patent for the telephone, Lewis Latimer patented a carbon filament (碳燈絲), which allowed light bulbs to burn for hours before burning out, much more useful than that invented by Thomas Edison.

39、 Latimer went on to invent many other useful devices, including a device which cooled and cleaned patients rooms in hospitals.Maurice HillemanNot all achievements require bravery and self-sacrifice. Take Maurice Hilleman for example. He found another way to change the world. He developed the mumps v

40、accine (疫苗) after his daughter got the illness. And he didnt stop there. In total, he has single-handedly developed over 40 vaccines, including eight commonly given to children. His work has saved millions of lives and prevented serious consequences due to the diseases.Nils BohlinIn 1959 Nils Bohlin

41、 patented a revolutionary design that has saved millions of lives the three-point safety belt. After the initial resistance from drivers who hated being told what to do, and even for their own good, the three-point belt has become a standard feature in new cars around the world.1、Whose patent allowe

DNils Bohlin.2、Whats the similarity between James Harrison and Maurice Hilleman?AThey both had spirits of bravery and self-sacrifice.BTheir contributions saved the lives of many children.CThey d

43、evoted themselves to work because of family members.DThey both set a Guinness world record.3、What was drivers initial attitude to the three-point seat belt?AThey refused to use it. BThey were satisfied with it.CThey were surprised at it. DThey got excited about it.25（10分） Photography has opened our

44、eyes to a multitude of beauties, things we literally could not have seen before the invention of the frozen image. It has greatly expanded our notion of what is beautiful, what is aesthetically(審美上) pleasing. Items formerly considered trivial, and not worth an artists paint, have been revealed and h

45、onored by the photograph: things as ordinary as a fence post, a chair, a vegetable. And as technology has developed, photographers have explored completely new points of view: those of the microscope, the eagle, the cosmos.What is it that delights the human eye and allows us to claim that a photogra

46、ph is beautiful? Photography depends on the trinity of light, composition, and moment. Light literally makes the recording of an image possible, but in the right hands, light in a photograph can make the image soar. The same is true with composition. What the photographer chooses to keep in or out o

47、f the frame is all that we will ever see - but that combination is vital. And the moment that the shutter is pressed, when an instant is frozen in time, provides the whole image with meaning. When the three - light, composition, and moment - are in balance, there is visual magic.Light, composition,

48、and moment come together in a photograph to bring us the ultimate reality: a view of the world unknown prior to the invention of the camera. Before photography, the basic artistic rules of painting were rarely broken. Images were made to please, not to capture reality. But as photography evolved, pa

49、interly rules were often reacted in the pursuit of fresh vision. Photographers became interested in the real world, good and bad, and it was the accidental detail that was celebrated. Photography invited the world to see with new eyes - to see photographically - and all of the arts have drawn new in

50、spiration from this change.With these basic aesthetic tools, photographers have evolved from scientists longing to “fix” an image any image to artistic revolutionaries. Photographs have created a new way of seeing, changed our ideas of beauty and, most importantly, made art more democratic. They hav

51、e given us visual proof that the world is grander than we imagined, and that there is beauty, often overlooked,in nearly everything.1、Before the invention of photography, which of the following was least likely to appear in an artistic work?AA great person.BA lovely insect.CA grand building.DA beaut

52、iful landscape.2、What is the function of paragraph 2?ATo argue that photographic beauty is subjective.BTo explain the evolution of the concept of beauty.CTo describe the elements that make a successful photo.DTo illustrate different types of photographic techniques.3、How has photography affected oth

53、er art forms?AIt has reduced their popularity.BIt has forced them to change their rules.CIt has changed their methods of composition.DIt has provided them with new points of view.4、What does the author mean by saying photography has “made art more democratic ?AIt has expanded the concept of artistic

54、 beauty.BIt has challenged the status of traditional art forms.CIt has enabled the development of new artistic tools.DIt has allowed more people to take part in creative activities.第三部分 語言知識運用（共兩節(jié)）第一節(jié)（每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項26（30分）My mother has been a true inspirati
