I recently gave a talk about zero waste living to university students. During the Q&A afterward, the unavoidable question of cost came up. One student pointed out that he "can't afford to buy $ 30 toothpaste." While the $ 30 price may be a bi I generous, the student did raise a good point ---- that buying zero-waste products is often more expensive than the overly — packaged conventional ones.
I tried to handle the question as best I could in the moment, but I kept thinking about it afterward. I'm writing about it because I'm sure many others have similar doubts about their own abilities to reduce waste without breaking the bank.
First, once you begin to explore the zero waste world, you quickly realize how pointless many
products in your life are. You start using fewer, buying less, and using them interchangeably. Soon you'll find yourself spending less money overall, which balances the higher cost of the zero waste ones. The total number of products in my bathroom decreased by 50% when I became more focused on waste reduction.
Second, if you stop to examine those zero-waste products, you'll see that they are usually of superior quality. Companies rarely redesign their packaging to be reusable without also upgrading them to be healthier, safer, and greener. So you're paying extra money not just for non-disposable （一次性的）packaging, but also for a better product that does less harm.
In my experience, higher-quality skincare products last longer than cheap ones. My personal habits have developed gradually, loo. Knowing an item costs more leads me to use it in small quantities and use it to the very end. Moreover, 1 sometimes even make my own. The price-per-unit is cheap.
To quote Lindsey Miles, a zero waste blogger, "Zero waste is not about what we can afford to buy. It is about what we choose not to buy." To that student who got me thinking about this, I'd recommend starting with what matters to you. Over lime you will figure out where you get the most value for your money. In return, you'll gain a sense of liberation from the consumer culture, and a rewarding sense of accomplishment.
24. What can we benefit from zero waste products?
A. Saving regularly. B. Balancing totally.
C. Living conveniently. D. Spending economically.
25. What kind of products would the author like to recommend?
A. Zero-cost. B. Top-grade.
C. Mon-breakable； D. Well-packed.
26. What do Miles' words in the last paragraph mean?
A. Buy what is necessary.
B. Choose what is affordable.
C. Consider where we save money.
D. Learn what consumer culture means.
27. What is the author's purpose?
A. To oppose wasting. B. To analyze a social issue.
C. To promote a new product. D. To advocate eco-consumption.
C
An 85-year-old primary school constructed in 1935 in Shanghai has been lifted off the ground in its entirely and relocated using new technology called the "walking machine." The project marks the first lime this " walking machine" method has been used in Shanghai to relocate a historical building.
Urbanization （都市化）has continued to significantly threaten architectural heritage. In the capital Beijing, for instance, more than 1,000 acres of its historic hutongs and traditional courtyard homes were destroyed between 1990 and 2010.
In the early 2000s, cities including Nanjing and Beijing — due to the critics' protest about the loss of old neighborhoods — drew up long-term plans to preserve what was left of their historic sites, with protections introduced to safeguard buildings and restrict developers.
These conservation efforts have taken different forms. In Beijing, a near-ruined temple was transformed into a restaurant and gallery, while in Nanjing, a cinema from the 1930s was restored to its original form, with some additions providing it for modem use. In 2019, Shanghai welcomed Tank Shanghai, an arts center built in renovated （重修的）oil tanks.
'^Relocation is not the first choice, but better than destroying," said Lan, the Shanghai primary school's project supervisor. "I'd rather not touch the historical buildings at all." Building relocations he said however, are "a workable option." The central government is putting more emphasis on the protection of historical buildings. I'm happy to see that progress in recent years.”
Shanghai has arguably been China's most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a number of 1930s buildings and 19th-century " shikumen"（ or “stone gate" ） house have offered examples of how to give old buildings new life.
“We have to preserve the historical building no matter what, Lan said, "The relocation has challenges, but in general, it is cheaper than destroying and then rebuilding something in a new location.”
28. How did cities respond to the loss of historical sites?
A. They criticized the developers.
B. They rebuilt the historic hutongs.
C. They ended the significant threat.
D. They proposed the protection project.
29. What docs the underlined word "il" in Para. 4 refer to?
A. An original form. B. A new addition.
C. A cinema. D. A temple.
30. What does the author intend to do in Para. 6?
A. Provide strong evidence. B. Introduce different opinions.
C. Summarize previous paragraphs. D. Add sonic background information.
31. What's the best title for the passage?
A. Walking Machine ： a New Technology
B. Rebuilding： a New Option for Relics
C. Old Building Torn down for Modern Use
D. Historical Site “Walks" to New Life
D
It is possible that interstellar （星际的）space explorers could face problems communicating with all the arrivals, their spoken language having changed in isolation （与世隔绝）along the way.
Therefore, a new paper by two American scholars Andrew McKenzie and Jeffrey Punske recommends that such crews include members with knowledge of what is likely to occur and how to adapt. They co-authored the article "Language Development During Interstellar Travel", in which they discuss the concept of language change over time.
In a recent interview, McKenzie gamed
“If you're on a spaceship for-10 generations； new concepts will emerge, new social issues will come up, and people will create ways of talking about them, " McKenzie said, and these will become vocabulary particular to the ship. People on Earth might never know about these words. And the further away you get, the less you're going to talk to people back home.
So if we have Earth English and spaceship English, you will have to learn a little Earth English to send messages back, or to read the information that came with the spaceship.
“Also, keep in mind that the language back on Earth is going to change, too. So they may well be communicating like we'd be using Latin - communicating with this version of the language nobody uses."
The authors also point out that an adaptation in the form of sign language will be needed for use
with and among crew members who, genetics tell us, are sure to be born deaf.
“Every new spaceship will essentially offload linguistic （语言学）immigrants to a foreign land. Given the certainly that issues such as whether they will be discriminated will arise, and the uncertainty of exactly how they will progress, we strongly suggest that any crew exhibit strong levels of linguistic training in addition to simply knowing the required languages. There will be need for an informed linguistic policy on board that can be maintained without referring back to Earth-based regulations."
If a study of the linguistic changes aboard ship could be performed, it would “ add to its scientific value, “ McKenzie and Punske conclude.
32. What does the underlined phrase "game il out" mean?
A. Offer a new concept. B. Make a further study.
C. Give a detailed explanation. D. Lose the game- completely.
33. What will happen to space travellers?
A. They will forget Earth English.
B. They will be using sign language.
C. They may have their own language system.
D. They may make adaptations to Earth English.
34. How can we solve the problem of interstellar immigrants?
A. Through Earth-based linguistic policy.
B. Through adequate language training.
C. By knowing the required language.
D. By referring to informed rules.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Why space travelers change their language.
B. How language is changed in the future time.
C. The language challenge during interstellar travel.
D. New concepts of language created in a spaceship.

第二节（满分25分）
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。
Ms Hart stood in front of her class on the very first day of school and told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students, saying that she loved them all the same, treating them all alike. And that was impossible because there in front of her, right on the third row, was a little boy named George.
Ms Hart had watched George the year before and noticed he was seldom engaged in school games, that he always wore torn dusty clothes and that he constantly needed a bath. As a whole, George was unpleasant.
When Ms Hart was required to review each child's records, she put George's off until last. But his file turned out a surprise. His first-grade teacher wrote, "George is a bright child with a ready laugh. He is a joy to be around."
Another teacher wrote, "George is an excellent student well-liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a serious illness and life at home must be a struggle." The next wrote. "George continues to work hard but his mother's death has been hard on him. Since his father doesn't show much interest, his home life will soon： affect him if some steps aren't taken."
The last record wrote," George is silent arid doesn't show much interest in school. He doesn't have many friends and sometimes, sleeps in class. He could become a problem.
By now Ms Hart realized the problem and Christmas was coming fast. Her children brought her presents, all in beautiful ribbon and bright paper, except for George's, which was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper of a scissored grocery bag. Ms Hart took pains to open it in the middle of the other presents. Some of the children started to laugh when she found a toy bracelet with some of the stones missing, and a bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume. She stopped the children's laughter when she declared how pretty the bracelet was, putting it on, and wearing some of the perfume behind the other wrist.
George stayed behind just long enough to say, “Ms Hart, today you smelled just like my mom used to.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
