Typically, families get on a train or into a car and travel to British seaside towns. They sunbathe on the beach, buy ice creams, eat fish and chips, build sandcastles and so on.In t
10、he early 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more and more British people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather isnt very good, even in summer, so a lot leave the UK for a vacation. Particularly popular with families
11、 on a budget is the “package holiday”, where the cost of flights and accommodation are offered as one discounted price by travel agents.In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became more wealthy, or at least had more disposable income. As a result, young people started to go abroad in groups
12、, to places such as Spain and Greece. Once at their destination, they socialized with other groups of young people and had one long party.British holidaying habits have begun to change, however, climate change means that the UK now has a warmer climate than before, so people dont always feel they ne
13、ed to go overseas to find good weather. Also, the world seems a less certain place as interconnected economics rise and fall, which means that the cost of foreign holidays is less predictable than it used to be. As a result, more and more Britons are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK
14、.In the UK, the domestic (国内的) tourism industry- when people go on holiday in their own country-is healthier than it has been in decades. There is now an increased appreciation among Britons for the diversity of the UK. It is not just the geography and the diversity of climate-based activities on of
15、fer. Its also the diversity of the cultures in the UK that is beginning to be of interest to domestic tourists. The UK has always been famous for its international explorers, but now it is starting to discover itself. 24.What mainly caused Britons travel abroad for holidays in the early 1970s?A. The
16、 bad weather in the UK.B. The lower cost of flights. C. The trend of going overseas.D. The rise of tourism industry.25. What does the underlined word “disposable” mean in paragraph 3?A. easy to handle B. steady in amountC. available for use D. flexible to change26. What can we learn from the passage
17、? A. Climate change has an impact on the change of British holidaying habits. B. Steady interconnected economics encourage more Britons holiday in the UK.C. Package holiday was particularly popular with rich families in the early 1970s.D. Both domestic and international tourists are interested in th
18、e diversity of the UK.27. Whats authors attitude towards UKs domestic tourism industry?A. Uncertain.B. Pessimistic.C. Optimistic.D. Objective.CRubbish of all kinds is piling up in landfill and polluting our rivers and oceans. A more recent addition to the list of things we discard is e-waste -electr
19、onic items that are broken and not recycled. A UN report claims the 50 million tons of e-waste produced every year will more than double to 110 million tons by 2050, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the world. Now ways are being found to give it a new life.Theres a growing trend for rep
20、air events and clubs which could be part of a solution to the growing amount of electrical and electronic garbage. The BBC visited a Restart Project in London, which is one of the many found around the world. One of its volunteers, Francesco Calo said, “This project allows you to reduce waste, lengt
21、hen the life of objects, and it helps people who cannot afford to get rid of items that have developed a fault.Electronics consist of materials like plastic, metals, chemicals and glass. As many electrical items contain valuable metals, another idea is e-waste mining. An experiment at the University
22、 of New South Wales includes extracting （提取）these materials from electronic items. Its thought that doing this could be more profitable than traditional mining. With phones typically containing as many as 60 components, this could be part of the solution to our appetite for new technology.These proj
23、ects make total sense -collections of e-waste for recycling are not progressing or even decreasing according to Ruediger Kuehr of the United Nations University. And in countries where there are no recycling laws, much of it is got rid of. However, the European Union, for example, is trying to settle
24、 the problem by insisting business firms have to make appliances longer-lasting and have to supply spare parts for machines for up to 10 years.28.What does the underlined word “discard in Paragraph 1 mean?A.throw awayB. take apartC. make the best of D. put together29.What does the Restart Project in

D.Get jobs in recycling companies.30.Which part of electrical items can be mined and used again?A.Hard plastic.B. Precious metals.C. Toughened glass.D. Various chemicals.31.What is sug
26、gested in the last paragraph about the problem of e-waste?A. Improving recycling process.B. Replacing spare parts timely.C. Making e-waste recycling laws.D. Using electronics permanently.DA research team led by UCLA materials scientists has shown ways to make super white paint that reflects as much
27、as 98% of incoming heat from the sun. The advance shows practical pathways for designing paints that, if used on rooftops and other parts of a building, could greatly reduce cooling costs, beyond what standard white cool-roof paints can achieve.When you wear a white T-shirt on a hot sunny day, you f
28、eel cooler than if you wear one thats darker in color- thats because the white shirt reflects more sunlight and its the same concept for buildings, said Aaswath Raman, a researcher of the study. A roof painted white will be cooler inside than one in a darker shade by rejecting heat at infrared(红外线的)
29、 wavelengths, which we humans cannot see with our eyes. This super white paint could allow buildings to cool down even more by radiative(辐射的) cooling.The best performing white paints now available typically reflect around 85% of incoming sun heat. The remainder is absorbed by the chemical makeup of
30、the paint. The researchers showed that simple changes in a paints ingredients could offer a big jump, reflecting as much as 98% of incoming radiation. The potential cooling benefits this super white paint can achieve may be realized in the near future because the changes suggested are within the abi
31、lities of the paint and coatings industry.Many cities and governments, including the stale of California and New York City, have started to encourage cool-roof technologies for new buildings. We hope that the work will inspire future creativity in super-white coatings for not only energy savings in
32、buildings, but also lessening the heat island effects of cities, and perhaps even showing a practical way that, if applied globally, could affect climate change, said Raman, who has studied cooling paint technologies for several years, This would require experts in diverse fields to work together.32
33、. Whats the function of the super white paint?A. Reflecting all the sun heat. B. Lowering building costs.C. Keeping buildings cool. D. Absorbing heat quickly.33. How does Aaswath Raman explain the working principle of the paint?A. By telling a story. B. By listing scientific data.C. By conducting a1
34、1 experiment. D. By making a similar comparison.34. What can be inferred about the super white paint from the text?A. It is completely chemical free. B. It is still unavailable in the market.C. Its ingredients still need improving. D. Is effects have been greatly improved.35. What do Ramans words in
35、 the last paragraph imply about the work?A. He has high expectations of it. B. He urges greater attention to it.C. He believes it can stop climate change. D. He thinks its easy to carry out worldwide.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。You never forget how to ri
