9、on my new furniture and Japanese, fine-bone-china bowls and asked where I got them. They were from the local op shop but instead I said “from the antique shop”.Many people in my Greek-Cypriot community would look down on me if I said I shopped at the op shop. They may pity me, consider me poor, a fa
10、ilure. Immigrants sacrificed their families and homes for a better life. Buying a house and having enough money to live comfortably, to educate your children and see them also live comfortably, are a big part of the immigrant dream, But has this dream made us materialistic at the cost of our own pla
11、net?Our love for purchasing the latest trendy clothes or furniture, then donating them when we are tired of them has become normal. I was once like this. But after watching the documentary The True Cost I learned donated clothes that dont get sold are sent to developing nations, many of them ending
12、up in landfills (垃圾填埋地). In addition, your new dress requires electricity and materials to make. But if you buy a second-hand dress, thats one less dress in a landfill and one less new dress to be made.A friend introduced me to op shopping only a few years ago. My first item was a dress she gifted m
13、e. It was lovely and I loved it. Nobody could tell it was second-hand. This opened me up to purchasing more second-hand high quality branded clothes. Once I visited a friend and was impressed by how she decorated her apartment. “Its all second-hand,” she said. I couldnt believe it. The truth is a lo
14、t of things sold at the op shop are in new or almost new condition. Thats when I made the decision to only buy second-hand things.Selling second-hand things isnt anything new but what the planet needs is more buyers. There is so much excess (过量) production in the world. So stop feeling ashamed, and
15、lets get shopping.4. What kind of feeling is expressed in Paragraph 1? A. Pride. B. Embarrassment. C. Delight. D. Sympathy.5. What are many people in the authors community like? A. They are probably materialistic.B. They care about the environment.C. They think highly of op shopping.D. They look dow
16、n upon immigrants.6. What was the author encouraged to do after visiting her friends apartment?A. Watch the documentary The True Cost.B. Donate more to local charities.C. Avoid shopping too much.D. Stop buying new things.7. Whats the purpose of the text?A. To entertain. B. To advertise. C. To persua
17、de. D. To describe.CWhen you walk with a backpack, do you know how the things inside move from side to side? Now scientists have figured out how to tap into that movement to produce electricity.Picture a pendulum (摆锤) fixed to a backpack frame and stabilized with springs on either side. The packs we
18、ight is attached to the pendulum, so the pendulum swings side to side as you walk. Then a machine is driven by that swinging movement, and spits out electrical current to charge a battery. Volunteers carried the pack while walking on a running machine and wore masks to measure the flow of O2 and CO2
19、. Walking with the slightly swinging 20-pound load, the device (设备) did not significantly affect the volunteers metabolic (新陈代谢的) rate compared to when they carried the same weight fixed in place. In fact, the energy-harvesting pack reduced the forces of acceleration theyd feel in a regular pack, wh
20、ich might mean greater comfort for a long hike. And the device did produce a steady trickle (涓流) of electricity. If you up the load to 45 pounds, the swing of the pack could fully charge a smart phone only after 12 hours. The details are in the journal Royal Society Open Science.The device produces
21、electricity from human movement and has been identified as a workable solution to providing a renewable energy source for portable electronic devices. It is particularly useful for those who work in remote areas, as these people often carry a lot of weight in a backpack for their exploration.But her
22、es a real conundrum: the energy-harvesting device currently weighs five pounds. The researchers say thats about four pounds too many to be a smart alternative to batteries. So they hope that more research lets them lighten the load, to ensure the pack charges you up without weighing you down.8. What
23、 does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. How the device works.B. What the device looks like.C. Who the device is designed for.D. Why scientists designed the device.9. Which of the following describes the device?A. It greatly affected the volunteers metabolic rate.B. It harvested energy as the voluntee
24、rs walk.C. It failed to produce steady electricity.D. It was useless for a long walk.10. What does the underlined word “conundrum” in the last paragraph mean? A. Problem. B. Method. C. Bond. D. Decision.11. What will the researchers try to do next?A. Increase the charging speed of their device.B. Fi
25、nd smarter alternatives to batteries.C. Reduce the weight of their device.D. Put their device on the market.DJapan is known to have higher than average rates of stomach cancer, Recently, the town of Kaneyama in Yamagata Prefecture decided to get its 6, 000 residents (居民) tested.However, the frozen u
26、rine samples (尿样) are not tested in conventional ways. Instead, Professor Masao Miyashita and his team are using them in a trial to determine if specially trained cancer-sniffing dogs can accurately detect the disease. Though the study is still in its early stages, Miyashita is thrilled with the res
27、ults. He said, “In our research so far, cancer detection dogs have been able to find signs of cancer with an accuracy of nearly 100 percent.”Researchers have known about the animals superior sensory skills for decades. However, their ability to detect cancer in humans came to light in 1989, after a
28、dog sniffed out early-stage malignant melanoma (恶性黑色素瘤) on a patients leg in London. Since then, scientists from many countries have conducted studies to test dogs great skill at identifying cancer chemicals. While most dogs can be trained for the task, researchers say the best candidates are dogs t
29、hat are precise, quiet, and perhaps even a little shy. The training process is similar to how dogs are taught to learn any trick by rewarding them with treats! However, it takes much longer because the dogs have to learn to separate the “cancer scent (气味)” from the thousands of organic compounds (有机
30、化合物) in the human body. Researchers begin by exposing the dogs to urine samples from people with cancer, people with other diseases, and patients with no health issues, Once the dogs are able to accurately identify cancer, they are further trained to detect particular kinds of cancer.Successful as t
31、hey may be, experts think dogs are unlikely to replace conventional tests. For one, it takes about seven years and costs as much as $45,000 to train a single dog. Klaus Hackner, a researcher and physician who studies dogs detecting cancer in breath samples at Krems University Hospital in Austria, is
32、 also not convinced dogs can be relied upon alone. Patients, therefore, have to receive further tests to confirm if they have the disease.12. What do we know about the cancer-sniffing dogs mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. They have done a great job. B. They are trained in a special way.C. They can easily
33、 learn to distinguish cancer.D. They can be seen in many Japanese hospitals.13. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?A. Offer readers some advice.B. Add some background information.C. Summarize the previous paragraphs. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.14. What kind of dog is suita
34、ble for the cancer-sniffing job? A. Smart and brave. B. Active and faithful.C. Strong and patient. D. Careful and peaceful.15. What is Klaus Hackners opinion on cancer-sniffing dogs? A. They should work as a team.B. They need to receive more training.C. They can replace doctors in detecting cancer.D
35、. They should be used together with traditional tests.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5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。Young People Enjoy Reading More during LockdownMore than a third of young people in the UK say they have read more during the coronavirus outbreak. 16 .Between January and Ma
