A father and car fan, Craig Blackburn, built a Batmobile for his son’s hope for using the vehicle to brighten the lives of sick children. And now he hopes to use it for more than just his son’s hope after seeing the children’s reaction to the Batmobile.
Based on the number of failures he had seen in car groups, he estimated that only about one in fifty attempted constructions was actually finished and he realized what an incredible opportunity he had.
Mr. Blackburn started the project at the beginning of 2018 after hearing a friend in the US was doing the same thing. It started with importing an outer shell overseas, before picking brains of a friend who had a background as a worker in a car factory to gain knowledge of how to build the car. With the help of his friend, Mr. Blackburn built the Batmobile in 18 months with the cost reaching six figures.
Mr. Blackburn hoped to add a flamethrower onto the back of the vehicle and said he had thought about building the more recent Batman Tumbler from the series film Dark Knight. Though Mr. Blackburn encountered plenty of difficulties to get over during the construction, in September 2019, the car made its first show at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba, before being used by Blackburn’s son for his hope.
“It was great. It was so good to see the kids’ and adults’ excitement at seeing the Batmobile.” Mr. Blackburn said. As a result, the car lover’s hope is to make the car work on the roads as soon as possible, so he can visit sick children and take them out with his son.
4. What is Craig Blackburn’s initial purpose of making the Batmobile
A. To realize his son’s dream.
B. To donate it to sick children.
C. To pay his respects to the film Dark Knight.
D. To show off at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba.
5. How did Blackburn feel about the car-making at first
A. Hopeful. B. Confused. C. Impossible. D. Challenging.
6. How did Blackburn’s friend help him
A. By making an outer shell for him. B. By offering him financial support.
C. By sharing the knowledge of building cars. D. By telling him the background of the car factory.
7. What is the car lover’s expectation of the Batmobile
A. It will be driven soon on the roads. B. It can be displayed around the world.
C It can change the lives of sick children. D. It will appear in the next film about Batman.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了Craig Blackburn为了实现儿子的梦想，独自制造了一辆蝙蝠车的经过。

【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Mr. Blackburn started the project at the beginning of 2018 after hearing a friend in the US was doing the same thing.

With the help of his friend, Mr. Blackburn built the Batmobile in 18 months with the cost reaching six figures.(Blackburn在听说美国的一个朋友也在做同样的事情后，于2018年初启动了这个项目。一开始是从海外进口外壳，然后从一位有汽车工厂工人背景的朋友那里学习如何制造汽车的知识。在朋友的帮助下，布莱克本用18个月的时间造出了蝙蝠车，成本达到了六位数)”可知， Blackburn的朋友通过分享制造汽车的知识来帮助他。故选C。

In the old days, when you had to drive to a movie theater to get some entertainment, it was easy to see how your actions could have an impact on the environment. After all, you were jumping into your car, driving across towns, coughing out emissions (排放) and using gas all the way. But now that we’re used to staying at home and streaming (流式传输) movies, we might get a little proud. After all, we’re just picking up our phones and maybe turning on the TV. You’re welcome. Mother Nature.
Not so fast, says a recent report from the French-based Shit Project. According to Climate Crisis: The Unsustainable Use of Online Video, digital technologies are responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions, and that energy use is increasing by 9% a year. Watching a half-hour show would lead to 3.5 pounds of CO2 emissions. That’s like driving 6.28 kilometers. And in the European Union, the Eureca project found that data centers (where videos are stored) there used 25% more energy in 2017 compared to just three years earlier, reports the BBC.
Streaming is only expected to increase as we become more enamored of our digital devices (设备) and the possibility of enjoying entertainment where and when we want it to increase. Online video use is expected to increase by four times from 2017 to 2022 and account for 80% of all Internet traffic by 2022. By then, about 60% of the world’s population will be online.
You’re probably not going to give up your streaming services, but there’re things you can do to help lessen the impact of your online use, experts say. For example, according to Lutz Stobbe, a researcher from the Fraunhofer Institute in Berlin, we have no need to upload 25 pictures of the same thing to the cloud because it consumes energy every time. If instead you delete a few things here and there, you can save energy. Moreover, it’s also a good idea to stream over Wi-Fi, watch on the smallest screen as you can, and turn off your Wi-Fi in your home if you’re not using your devices.
8. What topic is the first paragraph intended to lead in
A. The environmental effects of driving private cars.
B. The improvements on environmental awareness.
C. The environmental impacts of streaming services.
D. The change in the way people seek entertainment.
9. What does the underlined phrase “become more enamored of” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Get more skeptical of. B. Become more aware of.
C. Ge more worried about. D. Feel much crazier about.
10. What can we infer about the use of streaming services
A. Its environmental effects are worsening. B. It is being reduced to protect the planet.
C. It is easily available to almost everyone. D. Its side effects have drawn global attention.
11. Which of the following is the most environmentally friendly
A. Playing Online games over mobile networks. B. Downloading music on a personal computer.
C. Uploading a lot of images of the same thing. D. Watching downloaded movies on a mobile phone.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了看流媒体电影也会对环境带来影响，呼吁人们做一些事情来帮助减少在线观看流媒体的影响。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“In the old days, when you had to drive to a movie theater to get some entertainment, it was easy to see how your actions could have an impact on the environment.(在过去，当你不得不开车去电影院看一些娱乐节目时，很容易看到你的行为对环境的影响)”和“But now that we’re used to staying at home and streaming (流式传输) movies, we might get a little proud.(但既然我们已经习惯了待在家里看电影，我们可能会有点骄傲)”以及第二段中“According to Climate Crisis: The Unsustainable Use of Online Video, digital technologies are responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions, and that energy use is increasing by 9% a year.(根据《气候危机：在线视频的不可持续使用》，数字技术造成了4%的温室气体排放，而能源消耗正以每年9%的速度增长)”可知，第一段提到了过去开车去看电影和现在待在家看电影对环境的影响，我们自以为在家看流媒体电影对环境就比较友好，下文则描述了在家看流媒体电影对环境的影响也很大，由此可推断出，第一段想要引出的主题是流媒体服务对环境的影响。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前“Streaming is only expected to increase(流媒体预计只会增加)”以及下文“Online video use is expected to increase by four times from 2017 to 2022 and ac count for 80% of all Internet traffic by 2022.(从2017年到2022年，在线视频的使用预计将增长四倍，到2022年将占所有互联网流量的80%)”可知，在线视频的使用会增长，故我们应是越来越迷恋数字设备，以及随时随地享受娱乐的可能性的增加，导致了流媒体的增长，become more enamored of意为“变得更加着迷”，故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“According to Climate Crisis: The Unsustainable Use of Online Video, digital technologies are responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions, and that energy use is increasing by 9% a year.(根据《气候危机：在线视频的不可持续使用》，数字技术造成了4%的温室气体排放，而能源消耗正以每年9%的速度增长)”和第三段中“Online video use is expected to increase by four times from 2017 to 2022 and ac count for 80% of all Internet traffic by 2022.(从2017年到2022年，在线视频的使用预计将增长四倍，到2022年将占所有互联网流量的80%)”可知，流媒体对环境有影响，它越来越受人们的喜爱，而由此对环境造成的影响也在不断恶化。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Moreover, it’s also a good idea to stream over Wi-Fi, watch on the smallest screen as you can, and turn off your Wi-Fi in your home if you’re not using your devices.(此外，通过Wi-Fi进行流媒体播放也是一个好主意，尽可能在最小的屏幕上观看，如果你不使用设备，请关闭家中的Wi-Fi)”可知，用手机观看下载好的电影是最环保的，因为无需使用Wi-Fi，减少了在线使用。故选D。
D
Clothing rental is a hot new industry and retailers (零售商) are demanding to get on board in hopes of attracting green shopper.
But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it, and if so, how much more Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline investigated (调查) this question and concluded that it's not as sustainable as it seems.
Take shipping, for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented — receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.
She writes, ''An item ordered online and then returned can send out 20 kilograms of carbon each way, and increases up to 50 kilograms for rush shipping. By comparison, the carbon impact of a pair of jeans purchased from a physical store and washed and worn at home is 33.4 kilograms, according to a 2015 study by Levi's.''
Then there's the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it's returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most rental services, this usually means dry cleaning, a high impact and polluting process. All the rental services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene (氯乙烯), a carcinogenic (致癌的) air pollutant, still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with alternatives, although these aren't great either.
Lastly, Cline fears that rental services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it's so easily accessible. There's something called ''share washing'' that makes people waste more precisely because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this, advertised as ''a way to share rides and limit ear ownership.'' and yet ''it has been proven to discourage walking,bicycling, and public transportation use.''
Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them in the dustbin after a few wears, but we shouldn't let the availability of these services make us too satisfied. There's an even better step — that's wearing what is already in the closet.
12. What is Elizabeth Cline's attitude toward clothing rental
A. Approving. B. Unfavorable.
C. Objective. D. Enthusiastic.
13. The Uber example in Paragraph 6 indicates that .
A. rental services are on the rise
B. clothing rental will be as successful as Uber
C. renting clothes might waste more than expected
D. renting clothes might make people lose interest in fast fashion
14. The author suggests that we should .
A. give up renting any clothing
B. purchase inexpensive clothes
C. rent clothes rather than buy them
D. make full use of clothes we've possessed
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. Clothing rental is a new fashion.
B. Clothing rental is retailers' preference.
C. Renting clothes is not that eco-friendly.
D. Renting-clothes business is in a dilemma.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。服装租赁业是一种新型的流行的产业，并通过克莱因的调查说明了服装租赁业存在的一些缺点，比如相比于直接购买衣服，租衣服在运输方面消耗了更多的碳能源；干洗租赁的衣服会给空气造成污染；还会导致人们急于追求快速时尚，而随意浪费。最后作者提出最好的方法是要穿已经在衣柜里的衣服。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline investigated (调查) this question and concluded that it's not as sustainable as it seems.(记者兼作者Elizabeth Cline调查了这个问题，她总结服装租赁似乎没有看起来那么可持续)可推测，Elizabeth Cline不赞成服装租赁。B. Unfavorable.(不赞成的)符合以上说法，故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段的There's something called ''share washing'' that makes people waste more precisely because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this, (有一种叫“共享清洗”的东西，它让人们更精准的浪费，因为一个产品或服务是共享的，因此它被认为是更环保，优步就是其中的一个例子)可知，举Uber 的例子是为了说明服装租赁可能会造成比想象中更多的浪费。C. renting clothes might waste more than expected(服装租赁可能会造成比想象中更多的浪费)符合以上说法，故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的There's an even better step — that's wearing what is already in the closet.( 这儿有一个更好的办法——即穿已经在衣柜里的衣服)可推测，作者建议我们穿自己已经拥有的衣服。D. make full use of clothes we've possessed(充分利用我们已经拥有的衣服)符合以上说法，故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其是第三段的Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.(克莱因写道，消费者的交通工具的碳足迹仅次于制造业)，第五段的Then there's the burden of washing(此外，还有洗涤的负担)和第六段的Lastly, Cline fears that rental services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it's so easily accessible. (最后，Cline担心租赁服务会增加我们对快速时尚的兴趣，因为它很容易获得)可知，本文主要讲述衣服租赁并不是人们所说的那样环保 C. Renting clothes is not that eco-friendly.(服装租赁没有那么环保)符合以上说法，故选C项。

A father and car fan, Craig Blackburn, built a Batmobile for his son’s hope for using the vehicle to brighten the lives of sick children. And now he hopes to use it for more than just his son’s hope after seeing the children’s reaction to the Batmobile.
Based on the number of failures he had seen in car groups, he estimated that only about one in fifty attempted constructions was actually finished and he realized what an incredible opportunity he had.
Mr. Blackburn started the project at the beginning of 2018 after hearing a friend in the US was doing the same thing. It started with importing an outer shell overseas, before picking brains of a friend who had a background as a worker in a car factory to gain knowledge of how to build the car. With the help of his friend, Mr. Blackburn built the Batmobile in 18 months with the cost reaching six figures.
Mr. Blackburn hoped to add a flamethrower onto the back of the vehicle and said he had thought about building the more recent Batman Tumbler from the series film Dark Knight. Though Mr. Blackburn encountered plenty of difficulties to get over during the construction, in September 2019, the car made its first show at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba, before being used by Blackburn’s son for his hope.
“It was great. It was so good to see the kids’ and adults’ excitement at seeing the Batmobile.” Mr. Blackburn said. As a result, the car lover’s hope is to make the car work on the roads as soon as possible, so he can visit sick children and take them out with his son.
4. What is Craig Blackburn’s initial purpose of making the Batmobile
A. To realize his son’s dream.
B To donate it to sick children.
C To pay his respects to the film Dark Knight.
D. To show off at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba.
5. How did Blackburn feel about the car-making at first
A. Hopeful. B. Confused. C. Impossible. D. Challenging.
6. How did Blackburn’s friend help him
A. By making an outer shell for him. B. By offering him financial support.
C. By sharing the knowledge of building cars. D. By telling him the background of the car factory.
7 What is the car lover’s expectation of the Batmobile
A. It will be driven soon on the roads. B. It can be displayed around the world.
C. It can change the lives of sick children. D. It will appear in the next film about Batman.
C
In the old days, when you had to drive to a movie theater to get some entertainment, it was easy to see how your actions could have an impact on the environment. After all, you were jumping into your car, driving across towns, coughing out emissions (排放) and using gas all the way. But now that we’re used to staying at home and streaming (流式传输) movies, we might get a little proud. After all, we’re just picking up our phones and maybe turning on the TV. You’re welcome. Mother Nature.
Not so fast, says a recent report from the French-based Shit Project. According to Climate Crisis: The Unsustainable Use of Online Video, digital technologies are responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions, and that energy use is increasing by 9% a year. Watching a half-hour show would lead to 3.5 pounds of CO2 emissions. That’s like driving 6.28 kilometers. And in the European Union, the Eureca project found that data centers (where videos are stored) there used 25% more energy in 2017 compared to just three years earlier, reports the BBC.
Streaming is only expected to increase as we become more enamored of our digital devices (设备) and the possibility of enjoying entertainment where and when we want it to increase. Online video use is expected to increase by four times from 2017 to 2022 and account for 80% of all Internet traffic by 2022. By then, about 60% of the world’s population will be online.
You’re probably not going to give up your streaming services, but there’re things you can do to help lessen the impact of your online use, experts say. For example, according to Lutz Stobbe, a researcher from the Fraunhofer Institute in Berlin, we have no need to upload 25 pictures of the same thing to the cloud because it consumes energy every time. If instead you delete a few things here and there, you can save energy. Moreover, it’s also a good idea to stream over Wi-Fi, watch on the smallest screen as you can, and turn off your Wi-Fi in your home if you’re not using your devices.
8. What topic is the first paragraph intended to lead in
A. The environmental effects of driving private cars.
B. The improvements on environmental awareness.
C. The environmental impacts of streaming services.
D. The change in the way people seek entertainment.
9. What does the underlined phrase “become more enamored of” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Get more skeptical of. B. Become more aware of.
C. Ge more worried about. D. Feel much crazier about.
10. What can we infer about the use of streaming services
A. Its environmental effects are worsening. B. It is being reduced to protect the planet.
C. It is easily available to almost everyone. D. Its side effects have drawn global attention.
11. Which of the following is the most environmentally friendly
A. Playing Online games over mobile networks. B. Downloading music on a personal computer.
C. Uploading a lot of images of the same thing. D. Watching downloaded movies on a mobile phone.
D
Clothing rental is a hot new industry and retailers (零售商) are demanding to get on board in hopes of attracting green shopper.
But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it, and if so, how much more Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline investigated (调查) this question and concluded that it's not as sustainable as it seems.
Take shipping, for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented — receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.
She writes, ''An item ordered online and then returned can send out 20 kilograms of carbon each way, and increases up to 50 kilograms for rush shipping. By comparison, the carbon impact of a pair of jeans purchased from a physical store and washed and worn at home is 33.4 kilograms, according to a 2015 study by Levi's.''
Then there's the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it's returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most rental services, this usually means dry cleaning, a high impact and polluting process. All the rental services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene (氯乙烯), a carcinogenic (致癌的) air pollutant, still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with alternatives, although these aren't great either.
Lastly, Cline fears that rental services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it's so easily accessible. There's something called ''share washing'' that makes people waste more precisely because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this, advertised as ''a way to share rides and limit ear ownership.'' and yet ''it has been proven to discourage walking,bicycling, and public transportation use.''
Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them in the dustbin after a few wears, but we shouldn't let the availability of these services make us too satisfied. There's an even better step — that's wearing what is already in the closet.
12. What is Elizabeth Cline's attitude toward clothing rental
A. Approving. B. Unfavorable.
C. Objective. D. Enthusiastic.
13. The Uber example in Paragraph 6 indicates that .
A. rental services are on the rise
B. clothing rental will be as successful as Uber
C. renting clothes might waste more than expected
D. renting clothes might make people lose interest in fast fashion
14. The author suggests that we should .
A give up renting any clothing
B purchase inexpensive clothes
C. rent clothes rather than buy them
D. make full use of clothes we've possessed
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. Clothing rental is a new fashion.
B. Clothing rental is retailers' preference.
C. Renting clothes is not that eco-friendly.
D. Renting-clothes business is in a dilemma.
