Linwas 11 years old,he read an alarming article in the newspaper,which said that people were burying old computers in backyards,throwing TVs into streams,and dumping(丢弃)cell phones in the garbage.This was dangerous because e-waste contains harmful chemicals that can leak into the environment,getting into crops,animals,water supplies and people.Alex was really worried and decided to make it next project for WIN-the Westerly Innovations Network.Alex and six of his friends had formed this organization to help solve community problems two years before.But what could they do about this project with e-waste?The team spent several weeks gathering information about the harmful chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans.They learned how to dispose(处置)of e-waste properly and how it could be recycled.Then,they sent out a Survey and found only one in eight know what e-waste was,let alone how to properly dispose of it.Alex and his friends went into action.They advertised in the local newspaper and distributed notices to students,asking residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot.The drive lasted two days,and they collected over 9,500 kilograms of e-waste.The next step was to set up a long-term e-waste drop-off center for the town.After some research,theyd learned that reusing is the best way to deal with electronic devices and it is seven times more efficient than recycling.So,they began learning to retrofit(翻新)computers themselves and distributed them to students who didnt have their own.In this way,they could help students in the area and protect the environment at the same time.For a lasting solution to e-waste,the drop-off center wasnt enough.Lawswould have to be passed.In 2016,WIN helped push for an e-waste bill in their town,which required companies that manufactured or sold electronics to take back e-waste.The bill clearly forbids the dumping of e-waste.Because of the work of WIN,more and more people,like Alex and his team,are getting the message about safe disposal of e-waste.As Alex says,“Todays technology should not become tomorrows harmful garbage.”4.What was Alexs worry after he read the article?A.The littering of e-waste.B.The recycling of plastic.C.The change of environment.D.At 11 p.m.on Monday.5.What did Alex do to start the project?A.Set up WIN.B.Collect information.C.Ask friends for help.D.The overuse of old computer.6.Which can best describe the way Alex and his team did their work?A.Traditional.B.Competitive.C.Scientific.D.Convenient.7.What message does the story convey?A.There is no end to perfection.B.success comes through failure.C.Every positive attitude has a reward.D.young people can make a big difference.C InAsia,there are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds as the wind blows through them.Although all kites have a similar structure(结构),they are widely different in size and shape.Kite-fighting competitions are also held,in which competitors use their kites to attack and bring down their opponents(对手)kites or cut their strings(线).For more than 15 years,the Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kite-making and kite-flying classes for the children on an island inHawaii.In its kite-making lessons,students can make kites in as little as 20 minutes!Children as young as four years old can learn how to fly a kite.Jonathan Socher and his wife Daphne started the kite factory in 1980.Their kites are made of nylon(尼龙).Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne.The designs are cut out of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges and then fastened directly onto the kite.The kite that is used to give lessons is a regular diamond kite with a rainbow pattern.The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two-string controllable kite.Big Wind employees fly the kite and for a few minutes show students how pulling on one line and then on the other controls the direction the kite goes in.Then the controls are given to the students.Jonathan insists that it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite to have fun making and flying kites.Even the simplest structure can work,and can give hours of fun.Go on,give it a try!8.Which of the following is true according to the text?A.A hot knife is used to iron the nylon.B.Children never fly kites on their own in flying lessons.C.Kite strings must not be cut in kite-fighting competitions.D.Daphne designs kites for the Big Wind Kite Factory.9.What is different about the kite used for flying lessons?A.It has two strings.B.It is simple in design.C.It has a rainbow pattern.D.It is shaped like a diamond.10.According to Jonathan,what

lessons.C.Special competitions.D.The kite-making process.D People saved a 20-foot orca(虎鲸)that was stuck between rocks on an Alaskan shore by continuously pouring water over it and protecting it from birds who circled above the defenseless whale.The whale was ultimately saved after a six-hour,labor-intensive life-saving operation.Someone spotted the large whale on the Prince of Wales Island near the coast of British Columbia on the morning of July 29th.The Coast Guard was called around 9 a.m.local time.Chance Strickland,the captain of a private yacht in Alaska,and his crew anchored and began life-saving action that were videoed by Aroon Melane and posted on the Internet.Strickland could hear the orca calling out to killer whales swimming in the area.People on other boats stopped with water and buckets to pour water over the animal.“There were tears coming out of its eyes,”Mr.Strickland told the local newspaper.“It was pretty sad.”The group of people formed a chain that passed buckets of seawater back and forth and poured the water on the orca,which seemed to liven it up.It made a noise and raised its tail when it got water.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA)was called in,which can be seen on the video using a machine to spray amist of seawater on the orca,which doubled as a way to keep the whale cool and scare the large group of birds that were hoping to feast on the beast.Melane said in her video that the orca was stranded(搁浅)for about six hours until the tide came in andswept it back into the ocean.The group efforts of Stricklands crew and the NOAA saved the 13-year-old killer whale.12.Why did birds circle above the orca?A.They were eager to eat it.B.They wished to protect it.C.They were attracted by the people.D.They wanted to find a place to rest.13.What did Strickland do immediately after finding the whale?A.Posted pictures online.B.Called friends for help.C.Took action to save it.D.Videoed the trapped animal.14.Why did the whale make a noise and raise its tail?A.To express its eager for water.B.To extend its thanks to people.C.To call out to its fellow whales.D.To show its power and sadness.15.Which can be the best title for the text?A.Killer Whale Got Saved B.The Orca Inspired Kindness C.Combined Efforts Wanted D.Animals and Humans United 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10
