danger to the world in two important ways.First,the making of paper requires the loss of many millions of trees each year.And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years.Clearly,the planet cannot stand such a high rate of forest loss.The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful.A large amount of wastepaper ends up in landfills,where it can produce harmful gases and finally contribute to global climate change.One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems:paper recycling.Instead of cutting down trees,recycle existing paper to feed the paper-making process.Paper is mainly made from cellulose(纤维素)，which can be used repeatedly in papermaking.Unfortunately,it also means that paper waste takes a surprisingly long time to break down in landfills.So far,trees are the only source(来源)of cellulose that can fill the great demand for paper products.Therefore,recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees.Thanks to advances in processing,recycled paper need not be the dark-color1 edstuff many of us are familiar with.It now can offer the same print performance as non-recycled paper.Effective recycling requires a continuous effort from everyone at all levels of society.The way to begin is with education and understanding.Once enough people realize the need for recycling,more effective recycling systems can be developed.The need is real.The massive loss of trees affects everybody on earth.Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industry to do the same.The world will be a better place for it!4.What can we infer from the text?A.The use of recycled paper will double in 40 years.B.Recycling paper helps relieve global climate change.C.Wastepaper can easily break down in landfills.D.There are not enough landfills for wastepaper.5.What makes recycled paper more acceptable?A.The great demand of trees.B.The low processing cost.C.Its dark-color1 ed feature.D.Its improved print performance.6.What does the author propose?A.Punishing the act of cutting trees.B.Recycling paper.C.Improving recycling system.D.Promoting paper industry.7.How is the text mainly developed?A.By analyzing causes and effects.B.By offering research plans and data.C.By discussing problems and solutions.D.By comparing strengths and weaknesses.C Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional(情感的)intelligence.Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a persons makeup that cannotbe measured by an IQ test,such as character,motivation,confidence,mental stability,optimism and“people skills.”Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities,but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes.The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients,while a cheater might use it to control potential victims.Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support,the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful.The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis(重视)on emotion by employers,educators and others interested in promoting social well-being.The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable,we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion.It is our hope that in coming decades,advances in science will offer new perspectives(视角)from which to study how people manage their lives.Emotional intelligence,with its focus on both head and heart,may serve to point us in the right direction.8.What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?A.It can be measured by anIQ test.B.It helps to exercise a persons mind.C.It includes a set of emotional skills.D.It refers to a persons positive qualities.9.Why does the author mention“doctor”and“cheater”in paragraph 2?A.To explain a rule.B.To clarify a concept.C.To present a fact.D.To make a prediction.10.What is the authors attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?A.Favorable.B.Intolerant.C.Doubtful.D.Unclear.11.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?A.Its appeal to the public.B.Expectations for future studies.C.Its practical application.D.Scientists with new perspectives.D I was at my parents dinner table.Before me was a worn journal of thin and discolor1 ed pages.It was my grandfathers journal and now belonged to my father.My grandfather had passed away in the months leading up to my birth.I never got to visit the places he had frequented and the people who had been a part of his lifes journey.I was now about to enter his world,through the words he had left behind.Within minutes,I wascaptivatedby the power of the written words.In the magical script(笔迹)before me,I was transported to another age when food was an everyday art,planned,prepared and enjoyed in the company of others,and a time when people had the heart to pause their own lives to embrace(拥抱)each others struggles.All this was conveyed to me in the beauty of the words that flowed together to connect with the writers mind and understand the world they lived in.That kind of writing seems to be lost on us today.We have gotten used to writing in bite-sized pieces for a public looking for entertainment,and hungry for information.No wonder,there are nearly 200 million bloggers on the Internet and a new blog is created somewhere in the world every half a second.Instead of adding to our collective wisdom,most of these writings reflectthe superficiality(肤浅)and impatience of our day and age.This not only robs us of the skill of writing impressive essays,it also prevents us from exploring what is indeed important.Writing humbles(使谦卑)us in a way that is vital for our character growth,by reminding us about the limits of the self and our appropriate place in the vast flow of life.Writing frees us by helping us explore the unknown so that we really open up to magic of the world around us.I saw all of this in the writing of my grandfather.And Ive seen it again and again in the writings of the greatest thinkers of humanity.Their writing reflect deep thought on issues of human importance.12.The underlined word“captivated”in the second paragraph can be replaced by“_”.A.puzzled B.frightened C.attracted D.defeated 13.In the authors grandfathers age,people _.A.lived a hard life B.cared about each other C.were fond of writing D.treated food as an art 14.The author begins the text with her grandfathers journal in order to _.A.show her respect to her grandfather B.present the importance of good writing C.express her interest in reading as well as writing D.raise the problems with todays writing 15.In the last paragraph,the author is trying to _.A.discuss what good writing is like B.express her strong desire to learn writing skills C.stress the effects of her grandfathers journal on her D.show her admiration for her grandfathers writing 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 What do you imagine when you think of a forest?You probably imagine a vast area of land covered with trees.But as many traditional forests are destroyed,tiny forests some as small as a tennis court have sprung up(涌现)in cities around the world._16_.These mini forests are inspired by Akira Miyawaki,a botanist,or plant scientist from Japan who pioneered a special way of growing forests._17_It involves plantinga wide variety of native trees close together and leaving

to a 2018 study by Wageningen University,in the Netherlands.The study says the diversity of tree species attracts a greater variety of insects looking for food and shelter._19_Boomforest is an organization in Paris,France.It planted two forests using the Japanese botanists method.The group also teaches people how they can grow their own mini forests.In the Netherlands,IVN Nature Education has helped communities build 100 forests using the Miyawaki method.The group also educates kids about tiny forests.Simon Lewis,a professor of global change science at University College London,is excited about tiny forests.He explains that its important to grow trees because they absorb carbon dioxide._20_He hopes more people will use the Miyawaki method to plant mini forests.A.It plans to double that number by 2022.B.The Miyawaki method has become popular in Europe.C.Theyre increasing biodiversity(生物多样性)and fighting climate change.D.Thats a gas that contributes to climatechange.E.Lewis
