There's no doubt you will reap happiness.4The author took up crafting in college to Again some pleasureBavoid watching TVCget physical exercisesDprepare gifts for roommates5What does the underlined part “tallys with” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?AIs based on.BDiffers from.CCoincides with. DIs restricted to.6What's the 2017 review mainly about?ABenefits of knitting.BSkills required for knitting.CProper ages suitable for knitting.DWays of promoting knitting in community.7What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?AIntroduce her favourite leisure activities.BPersuade people to be more devoted to work.CShow the trick of making creative photo albums.DEncourage people to engage in crafting activities.CWith economy and population growing fast, an industrial revolution is impossible to avoid on the African continent.But what's going to power it? With renewable energy cheaper and more efficient than ever, countries in Africa have the unique opportunity to employ abundant renewable sources like wind, solar and geothermal energy to advance beyond the dependence on fossil fuels.Researchers from Harvard University and the University of Leicester did a new research recently.They focused on air pollution from power plants and transportation, as many African countries are working to add fossil fuels to power plants and vehicle infrastructure (基础设施).South Africa, for example, is putting the largest dry­cooled coal­fired power plant in the world into use.Namibia, Ghana and Mozambique are all turning to offshore power plants known as powerships that run on the dirty remains from crude oil refining (原油精炼).The researchers calculated emissions (排放量) from all the current power plants on the continent as well as the projected emissions of all power plants proposed as of November 2017.They calculated vehicle emissions based on increases in population that they showed is strongly tied to vehicle usage.They then plugged all the information into the GEOS­Chem global transport model, the open source pollution model developed and housed at Harvard.The research found that continent­wide, 13，000 people would die too early each year from exposure to vehicle emissions and 39，000 people would die from exposure to pollutants from power plants.Most of those deaths are in southern Africa, where most of the new power plants are being planned.Interestingly, some countries without any planned power plants also show high rates of death.Pollution from power plants in South Africa and Botswana, for example, travels as far as northern Angola because of winds and air circulation.“This research shows the great health benefit of choosing clean energy sources in Africa，” said Eloise Marais, an Associate Professor at the University of Leicester.“If we can cut emissions in southern Africa, and South Africa specifically, it can have a far­reaching impact on health，” said Marais.8What is the key point of African countries' industrial development according to Paragraph 1?AEnough financial support.BSolutions to air pollution.CAlternative energy resources.DThe control of population growth.9What do the countries mentioned in Paragraph 2 have in common?AThey rely increasingly on fossil fuels.BTheir air pollution is relatively severer.CThey pay much attention to industrial development.DTheir vehicle infrastructure needs to be improved.10What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?AThe harmful effects brought by power plants and transportation.BThe negative influence brought by winds and air circulation.CWhy many people would die of air pollution in Africa.DWhy there are no power plants in northern Angola.11What can be drawn from the study?AAfrica's energy crisis is expected to be solved.BIt's necessary for Africa to consider changing energy sources.CSeverer damage is avoided in some countries due to air circulation.DSome African countries have quitted building power plants because of pollution.DThe loss of indigenous languages around the world is a growing concern.The Rosetta Project, which gathers a network of language experts and native speakers, has suggested that one language is being lost every three months and the trend that 92 percent of the world's languages are spoken by fewer than ten people each still continues.UNESCO, meanwhile, has previously suggested that a language is becoming extinct every two weeks.The situation is getting worse and worse and that's why the Rosetta Project is established.David Crystal, a member of the International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language, has explained that language extinction occurs when the last person who speaks it dies.He states that while there is nothing unusual about a single language dying, we are witnessing language extinction on a large scale.This is due to the languages no longer being taught to emerging generations.In Crystal's words, this is an issue; those speaking a language are a living monument to what the community once was, which is a responsibility Crystal feels the next generation should carry.The globalization of English has also played a key role in a language's extinction.About 360 million people are currently estimated to be considering English as their first­language across almost 100 countries worldwide.Its use in many fields has aided this spread.Patricia Ryan, an English teacher, explains that while it is the undoubted global language, English does not translate every view and every term used by its local counterparts (对应的物).Campaigners such as those at the Rosetta Project are asking whether more languages should hold official status, such as Welsh.In Wales, both English and Welsh were made official languages in 1993 under the Welsh Language Act, the goal being for both tongues to carry the same importance and be widely used across the country extinction prohibited by legislation (立法).UNESCO is hoping this kind of strategy will be just as successful on a much larger scale, stressing that avoiding indigenous language extinction will play a vital role in the sustainable development of the communities that speak them.12What is the chief goal of the Rosetta Project?ATo train language experts.BTo protect indigenous people.CTo urge UNESCO to take action.DTo preserve endangered languages.13According to David Crystal, what is the cause of the worsening situation?ABarriers in law.BThe globalization of English.CLack of language education.DThe scale of language users.14What can be inferred from Patricia Ryan's words?AMore people will learn English.BWe need a better global language.CEnglish should be used worldwide.DLocal languages have their irreplaceable value.15What would the author most probably talk about next?AOther reasons for language extinction.BMore examples of language protection.CThe value of the Welsh language.DKey roles of languages in our life.阅读七选五If you love plants, you can decorate your corridor with indoor plants and flowers. 16 So, you can create a small garden at your cozy balcony to increase the freshness of your place.Creating a hydroponic (水栽的) garden can be an exciting hobby.Traditional soil­based farming can make the place dirty while this cultivation (栽培) process keeps the entire place clean and soil­free. 17 Even in your bedroom or in the kitchen or washroom you can grow some attractive flowers and plants in this way.Whatever the cultivation method you use, plants need some essential minerals to grow.Phosphorous (磷), copper, iron, zinc, manganese and calcium are some vital minerals plants absorb from the soil to grow and flourish.How can plants get all these minerals and other nutrients if they are grown in no soil? 18 These water­soluble nutrients can support the growth of plants and plants even grow 50% faster hydroponically than they grow traditionally. 19 For example, nutrients that boost cucumber growth can not benefit tomatoes or cherry trees to grow in the same manner.When you buy hydroponic nutrients, first consider what type of plants you are going to sow in your plot.Most of the indoor plants don't require sunlight.For cultivation where sunlight is a must, a hydroponic system is also a well­fit.It is because you can use artificial lights as the source of daylight.These growing lights may cost a little more than ordinary lights. 20 ATo buy the suitable equipment, choose a reliable online store.BYou need to take care of the young plants after you plant them.CTheir colors will make you feel good and create a refreshing environment.DWith the help of water and nutritive elements, plants can grow hydroponically.EThus, you can choose any place to cultivate your favorite items hydroponically.FBut services and functions they offer are limitless to help plants grow noticeably.GThe type of nutritive supplements required by hydroponic plants varies from plant to plant.必修 第二册 Unit 5 同步练习.阅读理解ATranslation As A CareerThe Open University has 50 years' experience of delivering flexible learning and 170，000 students are
