Every order of takeout comes with a side of single-use plastics and each plastic fork. knife, spoon and straw-whether or not you wanted it or used it-ends up in the trash.
New research found that 139 million metric tons of single-use plastic waste was generated in 2021-six million metric tons more single-use plastics compared to 2019. A hunger for takeout meals during the pandemic contributed to the surge.
An estimated 60% of Americans order takeout or delivery at least once a week and online ordering is growing 300% faster than in-house dining; that means millions of single-use plastic utensils (餐具) are going out with every order.
New laws aim to address the problem. Some of the recent bills are thanks to The National Reuse Network, part of the environmental nonprofit Upstream, which launched a national Skip the Stuff campaign to work out policies that require restaurants to include single-use plastic utensils, straws, and napkins only when customers request them.
The bills also require meal delivery and online apps like Uber Eats, GrubHub and Door Dash to add single-use extras to their menus; customers can choose the items and quantities to have them included in the order. Customers that don’t order the single-use plastics won’t receive them. The goal of the bills is to reduce the 40 billion plastic utensils sent to the landfill (垃圾填埋场) every year.
“Most of the time, people are taking food home or to their offices where there are reusable utensils so these utensils wind up in a drawer or get thrown out,” says Alexis Goldsmith, national organizing director for a nationwide project Beyond Plastics. “Some people do need utensils, but for the most part, they’re not needed.”
To date, Skip the Stuff bills have been passed in several cities, including Denver, Washington, D.C. and Chicago, California and Washington state passed statewide bills that make single-use plastic “accessories” available with takeout orders only upon request.
Organizations like Upstream, Beyond plastics and NRDC have created toolkits to help additional communities launch their own Skip the Stuff campaigns.
8. What does the underlined word “surge” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Great desire. B. Sharp decline. C. Rapid increase. D. Obvious panic.
9. According to the Skip the Stuff campaign, what can be done by restaurants
A. Choosing green products. B. Adding single-use napkins.
C. Recycling and reusing utensils. D. Providing utensils only on request.
10. What’s the purpose of the recent new bills
A. To reduce plastic waste. B. To stop bad eating habits.
C. To encourage people to eat out. D. To better the dining environment.
11. What would Goldsmith probably think of the Skip the Stuff campaign
A. Unimportant. B. Damaging. C. Much-needed. D. Well-known.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于一次性塑料垃圾问题的现状、原因以及相关的解决策略。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词上文“New research found that 139 million metric tons of single-use plastic waste was generated in 2021-six million metric tons more single-use plastics compared to 2019.(新的研究发现，2021年产生了1.39亿吨一次性塑料废物——与2019年相比，一次性塑料增加了600万吨)”可知，2021年与2019年相比，一次性塑料增加了600万吨。由此可推测，疫情期间人们对外卖的渴望促成了这一激增。划线单词指的是“增加”。选项A“Great desire (极其渴望)”；选项B“Sharp decline (急剧下降)”；选项C“Rapid increase (快速增长)”；选项D“Obvious panic (明显的恐慌)”。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“New laws aim to address the problem. Some of the recent bills are thanks to The National Reuse Network, part of the environmental nonprofit Upstream, which launched a national Skip the Stuff campaign to work out policies that require restaurants to include single-use plastic utensils, straws, and napkins only when customers request them.(新的法律旨在解决这个问题。最近的一些账单要归功于国家再利用网络，该网络是环保非营利组织Upstream的一部分，它发起了一项全国性的“Skip the Stuff”运动，以制定政策，要求餐馆只有在顾客要求时才提供一次性塑料餐具、吸管和餐巾)”可知，根据Skip the Stuff活动，餐厅只有在顾客要求时才提供餐具。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“The goal of the bills is to reduce the 40 billion plastic utensils sent to the landfill (垃圾填埋场) every year.(该法案的目标是减少每年送往垃圾填埋场的400亿个塑料餐具)”可知，新法案的目标是减少每年送往垃圾填埋场的400亿个塑料餐具，也就是减少塑料垃圾。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第六段““Most of the time, people are taking food home or to their offices where there are reusable utensils so these utensils wind up in a drawer or get thrown out,” says Alexis Goldsmith, national organizing director for a nationwide project Beyond Plastics. “Some people do need utensils, but for the most part, they’re not needed.”(“大多数时候，人们把食物带回家或带到办公室，那里有可重复使用的餐具，所以这些餐具最终被放在抽屉里或被扔掉，” Alexis Goldsmith说，他是一个全国性项目“Beyond Plastics”的全国组织主任。“有些人确实需要餐具，但大多数人都不需要。”)”可知，Alexis Goldsmith认为大多数餐具最终会被浪费，因此“Skip the Stuff”运动是非常需要的。故选C。
D
When astronauts land on Mars, a couple of decades from now, perhaps, they’ll need to find a way to communicate-with each other, with equipment on and around the planet, and with mission control back on Earth. Despite living so far from home, they’ll no doubt want to connect with loved ones, or stream their favorite shows or music.
But setting up a Wi-Fi connection to Earth’s internet won’t be a choice. Earth is simply too far away—around 55 million to 400 million kilometers, depending on where the planets are in their orbits. We will need another strategy.
Establishing good communication equipment is essential for human missions to Mars. Researchers are testing ways to upgrade existing networks, along with some far-out alternatives. For example, NASA’s Psyche mission, which lifted off in October with the job of exploring an asteroid (小行星) between Mars and Jupiter, will also test the communication using lasers. Lasers could carry far more data than the radio waves that have been used from the earliest days of space travel.
There is no strategy which can get rid of the time lag in communications between Earth and Mars; a message moving at the speed of light takes anywhere between 4 and 24 minutes for a one-way trip. In other words, a quick ping to mission control is out of the question, not to mention a WhatsApp call home.
There’s also the issue of solar conjunction (聚合), says Parfitt, when the sun comes between Earth and Mars. This happens for a couple of weeks every two years or so, cutting off communications between the planets. The last one took place in November.
But new approaches could open possibilities that make communications on Mars more like what we experience here on Earth. At least one research team has wondered: What if Mars had its own internet
12. What discourages Mars to have a net connection to Earth
A. The Earth is too far to reach. B. The Earth is hard to identify.
C. The current strategy doesn’t work well. D. Many planets are blocking the signals.
13. What writing skill is used in paragraph 3
A. Raising a question. B. Giving an example.
C. Listing numbers. D. Comparing facts.
14. What do we know about the communications between Earth and Mars
A. Laser carries less data than the radio waves. B. There is no such thing as time lag.
C. It takes only four minutes for a single trip. D. The process could sometimes be cut off.
15. What is going to be talked about in the following paragraph
A. The possible mission of the astronauts on Mars.
B. The communication among the astronauts on Mars.
C. The possibility for Mars to have its own network.
D. The opinions given by experienced astronomers.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了地球和火星之间建立网络连接的可能性，指出了其中存在的挑战以及可能得解决方案。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But setting up a Wi-Fi connection to Earth’s internet won’t be a choice. Earth is simply too far away—around 55 million to 400 million kilometers, depending on where the planets are in their orbits. (但建立一个Wi-Fi连接到地球互联网将不是一个选择。地球实在是太远了——大约5500万到4亿公里，这取决于行星在轨道上的位置。)”可知，地球太遥远了，我们无法到达阻碍了火星与地球的网络连接。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Establishing good communication equipment is essential for human missions to Mars. Researchers are testing ways to upgrade existing networks, along with some far-out alternatives. For example, NASA’s Psyche mission, which lifted off in October with the job of exploring an asteroid (小行星) between Mars and Jupiter, will also test the communication using lasers. Lasers could carry far more data than the radio waves that have been used from the earliest days of space travel. (建立良好的通信设备对人类火星任务至关重要。研究人员正在测试升级现有网络的方法，以及一些遥远的替代方案。例如，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）的普赛克（Psyche）任务于10月发射，任务是探索火星和木星之间的一颗小行星，它也将使用激光测试通信。激光可以比早期太空旅行中使用的无线电波携带更多的数据。)”可推知，第三段使用的写作技巧是举例子。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This happens for a couple of weeks every two years or so, cutting off communications between the planets. (这种情况每两年左右发生几周，切断了行星之间的通信。)”可知，地球和火星之间的通信过程有时会被切断。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But new approaches could open possibilities that make communications on Mars more like what we experience here on Earth. At least one research team has wondered: What if Mars had its own internet (但新的方法可能会使火星上的通信更像我们在地球上所经历的那样。至少有一个研究小组想知道：如果火星有自己的互联网会怎么样？)”可推知，下一段将讨论火星有自己网络的可能性。故选C。

【答案】One Possible Version:
A Friendly Football Match Between Sister Schools
Last Friday, a friendly football match was held between our school and the British sister school. The stands around the football field were packed to full by a large group of fans!
At the beginning, the captain of our school team kicked off the match and he soon inspired his players greatly with an early goal. The British team then followed, giving a shot about twenty minutes later. The audience kept cheering for both sides, especially when two of our players stopped to tend a British player who fell suddenly. It was a very close match, and our school narrowly won by 3-2.
This activity serves as a window for us to have a glimpse of each other’s extra-curricular life. Both sides hope that more exchange activities like this will be held in the future to promote cultural communication.

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Every October, my neighborhood has a Halloween costume contest, And every time, my neighbor Ollie and I would race to the announcement board in the park to find out the theme.
One year, the theme was “Dress up as your favorite book character”. Another year, it was “Be something scary”. But this year, the theme was kind of, well, themeless. The board wrote “Be creative”. It was told that the judge would prefer something original. When I examined the paper on the announcement board, I was totally confused, since it was not really a theme. Ollie hopped off his skateboard to get a closer look. “You’re right,” he agreed.
“Since we don’t know exactly what we want to be yet, we should start by choosing some cool costume-making materials,” Ollie instantly scooped up a bunch of fallen leaves from the oak and proposed using leaves. It seemed impossible to make an entire costume out of leaves, Not to mention these terrible-looking yellow leaves. However, Ollie scooped up some more and try to persuade me, “They’re totally free and I can guarantee, no one will be a tree as great as me,” “Don’t you mean, a tree as great as we ” I grinned, We ended up filling two jumbo bags with different leaves. Ollie’s grandma, Abuela helped get us set up with tons of excellent costume-making supplies, We tried on part of our costumes, making the “branches” by gluing (粘) the leaves to our arms. We could tell the “trees” really would be tremendous, On the morning of the contest day, it took us hours to get ready, and we probably lost half our leaves shuffling over to the park. Still, when it was time for contestants (参赛者) to line up in the judging area, I felt pretty proud.
注意:

Except then, after a few minutes. I felt so itchy (发痒) that I just had to scratch.

Paragraph 2:
Just at that time, the judge called for everyone’s attention.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】A possible version:
Para 1. Except then, after a few minutes. I felt so itchy (发痒) that I just had to scratch. I started wriggling around uncomfortably, and when I looked over at Ollie, he was doing the same thing. “That is worst,” he whispered as he wiggled. “I feel like I’m covered with a million mosquito bites.” “Me too,” I whispered back. “It must be the leaves!” Both of us were burning to get out of the costumes, but at that moment, before all the audience, we had no choice but to press on. We managed a smile, glanced around elegantly, and nodded at those familiar faces, but inside we itched to death and couldn’t help but wriggle constantly. Time ticking away, I decided not to continue the torture for another minute.
Para 2. Just at that time, the judge called for everyone’s attention. “The winners of our ‘be creative’ costume contests are these two magnificent trees,” he announced. Hardly had the announcement been made when the crowd erupted into cheers and applauses. For a split second, Ollie and I just stared at each other in puzzlement when Abuela came up and said, “Fabulous work! I especially like the little dance that made it look as if your leaves were rustling in the wind.” That explained it! Ollie and I exchanged an understanding look and burst out screaming for joy. That day, we ended up as the tremendously great “trees”, but at the cost of being too “natural”. Anyway, it was creative enough to be remembered forever.

Every order of takeout comes with a side of single-use plastics and each plastic fork. knife, spoon and straw-whether or not you wanted it or used it-ends up in the trash.
New research found that 139 million metric tons of single-use plastic waste was generated in 2021-six million metric tons more single-use plastics compared to 2019. A hunger for takeout meals during the pandemic contributed to the surge.
An estimated 60% of Americans order takeout or delivery at least once a week and online ordering is growing 300% faster than in-house dining; that means millions of single-use plastic utensils (餐具) are going out with every order.
New laws aim to address the problem. Some of the recent bills are thanks to The National Reuse Network part of the environmental nonprofit Upstream, which launched a national Skip the Stuff campaign to work out policies that require restaurants to include single-use plastic utensils, straws, and napkins only when customers request them.
The bills also require meal delivery and online apps like Uber Eats, GrubHub and Door Dash to add single-use extras to their menus; customers can choose the items and quantities to have them included in the order. Customers that don’t order the single-use plastics won’t receive them. The goal of the bills is to reduce the 40 billion plastic utensils sent to the landfill (垃圾填埋场) every year.
“Most of the time, people are taking food home or to their offices where there are reusable utensils so these utensils wind up in a drawer or get thrown out,” says Alexis Goldsmith, national organizing director for a nationwide project Beyond Plastics. “Some people do need utensils, but for the most part, they’re not needed.”
To date, Skip the Stuff bills have been passed in several cities, including Denver, Washington, D.C. and Chicago, California and Washington state passed statewide bills that make single-use plastic “accessories” available with takeout orders only upon request.
Organizations like Upstream, Beyond plastics and NRDC have created toolkits to help additional communities launch their own Skip the Stuff campaigns.
8. What does the underlined word “surge” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Great desire. B. Sharp decline. C. Rapid increase. D. Obvious panic.
9. According to the Skip the Stuff campaign, what can be done by restaurants
A. Choosing green products. B. Adding single-use napkins.
C. Recycling and reusing utensils. D. Providing utensils only on request.
10. What’s the purpose of the recent new bills
A. To reduce plastic waste. B. To stop bad eating habits.
C. To encourage people to eat out. D. To better the dining environment.
11. What would Goldsmith probably think of the Skip the Stuff campaign
A. Unimportant. B. Damaging. C. Much-needed. D. Well-known.

When astronauts land on Mars, a couple of decades from now, perhaps, they’ll need to find a way to communicate-with each other, with equipment on and around the planet, and with mission control back on Earth. Despite living so far from home, they’ll no doubt want to connect with loved ones, or stream their favorite shows or music.
But setting up a Wi-Fi connection to Earth’s internet won’t be a choice. Earth is simply too far away—around 55 million to 400 million kilometers, depending on where the planets are in their orbits. We will need another strategy.
Establishing good communication equipment is essential for human missions to Mars. Researchers are testing ways to upgrade existing networks, along with some far-out alternatives. For example, NASA’s Psyche mission, which lifted off in October with the job of exploring an asteroid (小行星) between Mars and Jupiter, will also test the communication using lasers. Lasers could carry far more data than the radio waves that have been used from the earliest days of space travel.
There is no strategy which can get rid of the time lag in communications between Earth and Mars; a message moving at the speed of light takes anywhere between 4 and 24 minutes for a one-way trip. In other words, a quick ping to mission control is out of the question, not to mention a WhatsApp call home.
There’s also the issue of solar conjunction (聚合), says Parfitt, when the sun comes between Earth and Mars. This happens for a couple of weeks every two years or so, cutting off communications between the planets. The last one took place in November.
But new approaches could open possibilities that make communications on Mars more like what we experience here on Earth. At least one research team has wondered: What if Mars had its own internet
12. What discourages Mars to have a net connection to Earth
A. The Earth is too far to reach. B. The Earth is hard to identify.
C. The current strategy doesn’t work well. D. Many planets are blocking the signals.
13 What writing skill is used in paragraph 3
A. Raising a question. B. Giving an example.
C. Listing numbers. D. Comparing facts.
14. What do we know about the communications between Earth and Mars
A. Laser carries less data than the radio waves. B. There is no such thing as time lag.
C. It takes only four minutes for a single trip. D. The process could sometimes be cut off.
15. What is going to be talked about in the following paragraph
A. The possible mission of the astronauts on Mars.
B. The communication among the astronauts on Mars.
C. The possibility for Mars to have its own network.
D. The opinions given by experienced astronomers.

Every October, my neighborhood has a Halloween costume contest, And every time, my neighbor Ollie and I would race to the announcement board in the park to find out the theme.
One year, the theme was “Dress up as your favorite book character”. Another year, it was “Be something scary”. But this year, the theme was kind of, well, themeless. The board wrote “Be creative”. It was told that the judge would prefer something original. When I examined the paper on the announcement board, I was totally confused, since it was not really a theme. Ollie hopped off his skateboard to get a closer look. “You’re right,” he agreed.
“Since we don’t know exactly what we want to be yet, we should start by choosing some cool costume-making materials,” Ollie instantly scooped up a bunch of fallen leaves from the oak and proposed using leaves. It seemed impossible to make an entire costume out of leaves, Not to mention these terrible-looking yellow leaves. However, Ollie scooped up some more and try to persuade me, “They’re totally free and I can guarantee, no one will be a tree as great as me,” “Don’t you mean, a tree as great as we ” I grinned, We ended up filling two jumbo bags with different leaves. Ollie’s grandma, Abuela helped get us set up with tons of excellent costume-making supplies, We tried on part of our costumes, making the “branches” by gluing (粘) the leaves to our arms. We could tell the “trees” really would be tremendous, On the morning of the contest day, it took us hours to get ready, and we probably lost half our leaves shuffling over to the park. Still, when it was time for contestants (参赛者) to line up in the judging area, I felt pretty proud.
