Sometimes it seems anti-pollution and recycling efforts are a long road to nowhere.That’s how engineer Toby McCartney felt，until visiting India in 2016.While on the trip he worked with a group filling holes on roads using a makeshift(权宜的) method combining waste plastics，diesel fuel(柴油)，and fire.Plastic has been used to construct roads in India since the turn of the century—and McCartney realized the idea could be applied to road construction in other countries，“to solve two world problems：plastic waste，and on the other side the poor quality of roads we have to drive on today.”
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了工程师托比·麦卡特尼使用废塑料代替一部分沥青来建造道路。
Upon returning home to Scotland，he and two friends started experimenting，melting down various combinations of consumer plastics on his kitchen stove(炉子).After going through over 500 different combinations of waste plastics，they found materials that worked and founded a company，named MacRebur，to start building their plastic-enhanced roads.
In MacRebur，waste plastics are broken down into small pieces and replace 20% of the sticky oil-based bitumen(沥青) that is used on traditional roads.The mixed material is up to 60% stronger，up to three times longer-lasting，and has huge environmental benefits.According to McCartney，each mile of road laid with his company’s product uses almost 1.2 million single-use plastic bags or 80,000 plastic bottles.For every one-mile road，there’s a carbon reduction of about 33 tons.
McCartney is sure that plastics in roads will not wash back into our rivers and oceans when it rains.Since the plastic is safely sandwiched between stone and bitumen，it can’t easily reenter the environment.“All our plastics are heated to around 180 degrees，” says McCartney.“They then fully mix with the remaining bitumen in the road，so there is no micro-plastic present in any of our roads.”
“At the end of the day plastic is a great product，” McCartney says.“It lasts long，which is a problem if it’s a waste product，but not a problem if we want it to last.”
1.What do we know about McCartney’s Indian trip
A.He got inspiration from it.
B.He taught the locals to fill road holes.
C.He witnessed serious plastic pollution.
D.He was disappointed by the poor roads.
√
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Plastic has been used to construct roads in India since the turn of the century—and McCartney realized the idea could be applied to road construction in other countries，‘to solve two world problems：plastic waste，and on the other side the poor quality of roads we have to drive on today.’”可知，麦卡特尼从印度之行中获得了灵感。故选A。
解析
2.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning MacRebur’s product
A.Its materials.
B.Its production procedures.
C.Its advantages.
D.Its potential applications.
√
段落大意题。根据第三段“In MacRebur，waste plastics...The mixed material is up to 60% stronger，up to three times longer-lasting，and has huge environmental benefits...For every one-mile road，there’s a carbon reduction of about 33 tons.”可知，关于MacRebur的产品，第三段主要讲了其优点，包括强度高、寿命长、环保等。故选C。
解析
3.What is McCartney’s attitude to the enhanced roads’ environmental cost
A.Reserved. B.Unworried.
C.Concerned. D.Uncertain.
√
观点态度题。根据倒数第二段中的“McCartney is sure that plastics in roads will not wash back into our rivers and oceans...it can’t easily reenter the environment.”和“there is no micro-plastic present in any of our roads”可知，McCartney确定道路中的塑料不会再次进入自然环境，且道路中没有微塑料，可推知他对增强道路的环境代价持不担忧的态度。故选B。
解析
4.What is the best title for the text
A.Plastics Can Save the Planet
B.Makeshift Roads Will Be the Norm
C.Engineer Invents New Plastic That Lasts Longer
D.Waste Plastics Could Build the Roads of Future
√
标题归纳题。通读全文尤其根据第一段和最后一段内容可知，文章主要介绍了工程师麦卡特尼使用废塑料代替一部分沥青来建造道路，这种方法有助于解决塑料污染和道路质量差两大世界性难题，所以D选项“废塑料可以建造未来的道路”最适合作文章标题。故选D。
解析
Imagine that you are in a remote village somewhere with no medical clinic.
语篇解读　本文为说明文，主要介绍了Andy Ozcan发明的一款将手机变成一种诊断工具的应用程序。这种经济又实用的医疗工具可以在世界的任何地方使用，能拯救全世界数百万人的生命。
Ⅳ.七选五
1 Once the doctors get to you，they examine you and take blood samples，but they won’t be able to help you until they take the samples back to the hospital to find out what is wrong.
A.As a result，they may diagnose illnesses incorrectly.
B.People are trying to reduce the cost of this new medical tool.
C.This tool has become much more popular all around the world.
D.Another reason that Ozcan’s invention is important is that it is inexpensive.
E.You become very sick and must wait days until a mobile medical unit arrives to help.
F.Ozcan’s simple，cost-effective tool might just save millions of lives around the world.
G.Even though you may only have a simple infection，you might die because of the
　delay.
√
根据上文“想象一下，你在一个偏僻的没有医疗诊所的村庄”和空后的“Once the doctors get to you”可推知，村庄没有诊所，如果生病只能等医生前来，所以E项“你病得很重，必须等上几天，直到一个流动医疗队赶来帮助你”承上启下，故选E。
解析
2 Thanks to engineer Andy Ozcan，many people may never be in this situation.He has invented an app that turns your mobile phone into a diagnostic(诊断的) tool.
A.As a result，they may diagnose illnesses incorrectly.
B.People are trying to reduce the cost of this new medical tool.
C.This tool has become much more popular all around the world.
D.Another reason that Ozcan’s invention is important is that it is inexpensive.
E.You become very sick and must wait days until a mobile medical unit arrives to help.
F.Ozcan’s simple，cost-effective tool might just save millions of lives around the world.
G.Even though you may only have a simple infection，you might die because of the
　delay.
√
根据可知，如果你生病要等好几天才能等到医生来看病，之后还要等待血样检查的结果医生才能诊断，可推断这种耽误会导致病情加重，G项“即使只是简单的小感染，你也可能会因为耽搁而死”承接上文，选项中的the delay指上文描述的情况，故选G。
解析
Ozcan’s invention is important because it is very accurate and easy to use.In many remote places，even if doctors have microscopes and other instruments to help them make diagnoses，there may still be other problems.Many doctors，for example，don’t have enough training to correctly interpret what they see.
3 With Ozcan’s mobile phone app，health workers can take a special photo of a blood sample and send it to a central computer at a hospital.The computer will then automatically interpret the photo and send a diagnosis back in a few minutes.
A.As a result，they may diagnose illnesses incorrectly.
B.People are trying to reduce the cost of this new medical tool.
C.This tool has become much more popular all around the world.
D.Another reason that Ozcan’s invention is important is that it is inexpensive.
E.You become very sick and must wait days until a mobile medical unit arrives to help.
F.Ozcan’s simple，cost-effective tool might just save millions of lives around the world.
G.Even though you may only have a simple infection，you might die because of the
　delay.
√
根据上文“In many remote places...enough training to correctly interpret what they see.”可知，在许多偏远的地方，即使医生有仪器帮忙，仍然会出现其他问题。例如，许多医生没有足够的培训来正确解释他们所看到的，由此可推知这可能造成误诊，A项“因此，他们可能错误地诊断疾病”是前面情况可能的结果。故选A。
解析
4 His technology only requires a mobile phone and an Internet connection.As more than four billion people already have cell phones，the cost of establishing the diagnostic system is fairly low.
A.As a result，they may diagnose illnesses incorrectly.
B.People are trying to reduce the cost of this new medical tool.
C.This tool has become much more popular all around the world.
D.Another reason that Ozcan’s invention is important is that it is inexpensive.
E.You become very sick and must wait days until a mobile medical unit arrives to help.
F.Ozcan’s simple，cost-effective tool might just save millions of lives around the world.
G.Even though you may only have a simple infection，you might die because of the
　delay.
√
第二段说Ozcan的发明重要的一个原因，此处应是另一个原因。分析选项可知，D项“Ozcan的发明之所以重要的另一个原因是它很便宜”呼应下文的内容，适合作为本段主题句。D项中的inexpensive与本段最后的fairly low同义。故选D。
解析
By inventing a medical tool that uses existing technology—mobile phones—Ozcan has developed a medical tool that is both practical and economical.Therefore，it can be used effectively almost anywhere. 5
A.As a result，they may diagnose illnesses incorrectly.
B.People are trying to reduce the cost of this new medical tool.
C.This tool has become much more popular all around the world.
D.Another reason that Ozcan’s invention is important is that it is inexpensive.
E.You become very sick and must wait days until a mobile medical unit arrives to help.
F.Ozcan’s simple，cost-effective tool might just save millions of lives around the world.
G.Even though you may only have a simple infection，you might die because of the
　delay.
√
根据上文“Ozcan has developed a medical tool that is both practical and economical.Therefore，it can be used effectively almost anywhere.
(Ozcan研制了实用又经济的医疗工具。因此，它几乎在任何地方都可以有效使用)”推断出空处描述这种工具的前景，F项“Ozcan的简单、有效的工具可能会拯救全世界数百万人的生命”符合语境。故选F。
解析
Writing a book is no easy task，even for adult professional writers.

Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读(共4小题；每小题2.5分，满分10分)
Sometimes it seems anti-pollution and recycling efforts are a long road to nowhere.That’s how engineer Toby McCartney felt，until visiting India in 2016.While on the trip he worked with a group filling holes on roads using a makeshift(权宜的) method combining waste plastics，diesel fuel(柴油)，and fire.Plastic has been used to construct roads in India since the turn of the century—and McCartney realized the idea could be applied to road construction in other countries，“to solve two world problems：plastic waste，and on the other side the poor quality of roads we have to drive on today.”
Upon returning home to Scotland，he and two friends started experimenting，melting down various combinations of consumer plastics on his kitchen stove(炉子)．After going through over 500 different combinations of waste plastics，they found materials that worked and founded a company，named MacRebur，to start building their plastic-enhanced roads.
In MacRebur，waste plastics are broken down into small pieces and replace 20% of the sticky oil-based bitumen(沥青) that is used on traditional roads.The mixed material is up to 60% stronger，up to three times longer-lasting，and has huge environmental benefits.According to McCartney，each mile of road laid with his company’s product uses almost 1.2 million single-use plastic bags or 80,000 plastic bottles.For every one-mile road，there’s a carbon reduction of about 33 tons.
McCartney is sure that plastics in roads will not wash back into our rivers and oceans when it rains.Since the plastic is safely sandwiched between stone and bitumen，it can’t easily reenter the environment.“All our plastics are heated to around 180 degrees，” says McCartney.“They then fully mix with the remaining bitumen in the road，so there is no micro-plastic present in any of our roads.”
“At the end of the day plastic is a great product，” McCartney says.“It lasts long，which is a problem if it’s a waste product，but not a problem if we want it to last.”
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了工程师托比·麦卡特尼使用废塑料代替一部分沥青来建造道路。
1．What do we know about McCartney’s Indian trip
A．He got inspiration from it.
B．He taught the locals to fill road holes.
C．He witnessed serious plastic pollution.
D．He was disappointed by the poor roads.
答案　A
解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Plastic has been used to construct roads in India since the turn of the century—and McCartney realized the idea could be applied to road construction in other countries，‘to solve two world problems：plastic waste，and on the other side the poor quality of roads we have to drive on today.’”可知，麦卡特尼从印度之行中获得了灵感。故选A。
2．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning MacRebur’s product
A．Its materials.
B．Its production procedures.
C．Its advantages.
D．Its potential applications.
答案　C
解析　段落大意题。根据第三段“In MacRebur，waste plastics...The mixed material is up to 60% stronger，up to three times longer-lasting，and has huge environmental benefits...For every one-mile road，there’s a carbon reduction of about 33 tons.”可知，关于MacRebur的产品，第三段主要讲了其优点，包括强度高、寿命长、环保等。故选C。
3．What is McCartney’s attitude to the enhanced roads’ environmental cost
A．Reserved. B．Unworried.
C．Concerned. D．Uncertain.
答案　B
解析　观点态度题。根据倒数第二段中的“McCartney is sure that plastics in roads will not wash back into our rivers and oceans...it can’t easily reenter the environment.”和“there is no micro-plastic present in any of our roads”可知，McCartney确定道路中的塑料不会再次进入自然环境，且道路中没有微塑料，可推知他对增强道路的环境代价持不担忧的态度。故选B。
4．What is the best title for the text
A．Plastics Can Save the Planet
B．Makeshift Roads Will Be the Norm
C．Engineer Invents New Plastic That Lasts Longer
D．Waste Plastics Could Build the Roads of Future
答案　D
解析　标题归纳题。通读全文尤其根据第一段和最后一段内容可知，文章主要介绍了工程师麦卡特尼使用废塑料代替一部分沥青来建造道路，这种方法有助于解决塑料污染和道路质量差两大世界性难题，所以D选项“废塑料可以建造未来的道路”最适合作文章标题。故选D。
Ⅳ.七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Imagine that you are in a remote village somewhere with no medical clinic. 1 Once the doctors get to you，they examine you and take blood samples，but they won’t be able to help you until they take the samples back to the hospital to find out what is wrong. 2 Thanks to engineer Andy Ozcan，many people may never be in this situation.He has invented an app that turns your mobile phone into a diagnostic(诊断的) tool.
Ozcan’s invention is important because it is very accurate and easy to use.In many remote places，even if doctors have microscopes and other instruments to help them make diagnoses，there may still be other problems.Many doctors，for example，don’t have enough training to correctly interpret what they see. 3 With Ozcan’s mobile phone app，health workers can take a special photo of a blood sample and send it to a central computer at a hospital.The computer will then automatically interpret the photo and send a diagnosis back in a few minutes.
4 His technology only requires a mobile phone and an Internet connection.As more than four billion people already have cell phones，the cost of establishing the diagnostic system is fairly low.
By inventing a medical tool that uses existing technology—mobile phones—Ozcan has developed a medical tool that is both practical and economical.Therefore，it can be used effectively almost anywhere. 5
A．As a result，they may diagnose illnesses incorrectly.
B．People are trying to reduce the cost of this new medical tool.
C．This tool has become much more popular all around the world.
D．Another reason that Ozcan’s invention is important is that it is inexpensive.
E．You become very sick and must wait days until a mobile medical unit arrives to help.
F．Ozcan’s simple，cost-effective tool might just save millions of lives around the world.
G．Even though you may only have a simple infection，you might die because of the delay.
语篇解读　本文为说明文，主要介绍了Andy Ozcan发明的一款将手机变成一种诊断工具的应用程序。这种经济又实用的医疗工具可以在世界的任何地方使用，能拯救全世界数百万人的生命。
1．答案　E
解析　根据上文“想象一下，你在一个偏僻的没有医疗诊所的村庄”和空后的“Once the doctors get to you”可推知，村庄没有诊所，如果生病只能等医生前来，所以E项“你病得很重，必须等上几天，直到一个流动医疗队赶来帮助你”承上启下，故选E。
2．答案　G
解析　根据可知，如果你生病要等好几天才能等到医生来看病，之后还要等待血样检查的结果医生才能诊断，可推断这种耽误会导致病情加重，G项“即使只是简单的小感染，你也可能会因为耽搁而死”承接上文，选项中的the delay指上文描述的情况，故选G。
3．答案　A
解析　根据上文“In many remote places...enough training to correctly interpret what they see.”可知，在许多偏远的地方，即使医生有仪器帮忙，仍然会出现其他问题。例如，许多医生没有足够的培训来正确解释他们所看到的，由此可推知这可能造成误诊，A项“因此，他们可能错误地诊断疾病”是前面情况可能的结果。故选A。
4．答案　D
解析　第二段说Ozcan的发明重要的一个原因，此处应是另一个原因。分析选项可知，D项“Ozcan的发明之所以重要的另一个原因是它很便宜”呼应下文的内容，适合作为本段主题句。D项中的inexpensive与本段最后的fairly low同义。故选D。
5．答案　F
解析　根据上文“Ozcan has developed a medical tool that is both practical and economical.Therefore，it can be used effectively almost anywhere.(Ozcan研制了实用又经济的医疗工具。因此，它几乎在任何地方都可以有效使用)”推断出空处描述这种工具的前景，F项“Ozcan的简单、有效的工具可能会拯救全世界数百万人的生命”符合语境。故选F。
