          第一節 閱讀理解(共4小題;每小題2.5分,滿分37.5分)

          • 1.You've heard that plastic is polluting the ocean—between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year.But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference?Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage,forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
               At the beginning of the year,the artist built a piece called "Strawpocalypse," a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves,frozen mid-crash.Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups,the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam.
               Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled.Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source(來源)of plastic pollution,but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and,because of their small size and weight,they cannot be recycled.Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes.Once the drink is gone,the straw will take centuries to disappear.
               In a piece from 2018,Von Wong wanted to illustrate(說明)a specific statistic:Every 60 seconds,a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean.For this work,titled "Truckload of Plastic," Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic,which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped(傾倒) from a truck all at once.
               Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.

            (1)What are Von Wong's artworks intended for?

            A.Beautifying the city he lives in.
            B.Introducing eco-friendly products.
            C.Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
            D.Reducing garbage on the beach.
            (2)Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?

            A.To show the difficulty of their recycling.
            B.To explain why they are useful.
            C.To voice his views on modern art.
            D.To find a substitute for them.
            (3)What effect would "Truckload of Plastic" have on viewers?

            A.Calming.
            B.Disturbing.
            C.Refreshing.
            D.Challenging.
            (4)Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

            A.Artists' Opinions on Plastic Safety
            B.Media Interest in Contemporary Art
            C.Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
            D.Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures

          • 2.When I lived in Spain,some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car.Before they left,they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation.I suggested that they should stay at "bed and breakfast" houses,because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family.My friends listened to my advice,but they came back with some funny stories.
               "We didn't stay at "bed and breakfast" houses," they said, "because we found that most families were away on holiday."
               I thought this was strange.Finally I understood what had happened.My friends spoke little English,and they thought "VACANCIES" meant "holidays",because the Spanish word for "holidays" is "vacaciones".So they did not go to house where the sign outside said "VACANCIES",which in English means there are free rooms.Then my friends went to house where the sign said "NO VACANCIES",because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday.But they found that these houses were all full.As a result,they stayed at hotels!
               We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs.In Spanish,the word "DIVERSION" means fun.In English,it means that workmen are repairing the road,and that you must take a different road.When my friends saw the word "DIVERSION" on a road sign,they thought they were going to have fun.Instead,the road ended in a large hole.
               English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages.Once in Paris,when someone offered me some more coffee,I said "Thank you" in French.I meant that I would like some more.However,to my surprise,the coffeepot was taken away!Later I found out that "Thank you" in French means "No,thank you."

            (1)The writer's friends in Spain wanted to get advice about
            .
            A.the chance of learning English
            B.the way of going to England
            C.the traffic rules in England
            D.finding places to stay in England
            (2)The writer suggested that they stay at "bed and breakfast" houses because

            A.it would be convenient for them to have dinner
            B.it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels
            C.they would be able to practise their English
            D.there would be no problem about finding accommodation there
            (3)The writer's friends stayed at hotels at last because
            .
            A.they misunderstood the signs outside the door
            B.there were no such "bed and breakfast" houses in England
            C.they found there were no free rooms there
            D.people there were away on holiday
            (4)If you see a road sign that says "DIVERSION" in England,you will
            .
            A.fall into a hole
            B.have to take a different road
            C.find that the road is stopped by lots of people
            D.have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself
            (5)When a Frenchman is offered more coffee and he says "Thank you",he really means
            .
            A.he doesn't want any more coffee
            B.he wants to show his amazement
            C.he just wants to show his politeness
            D.he wants to have some more coffee

            HOW TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF TO EXERCISE Trying to motivate(激勵) yourself to exercise can sometimes feel like a fruitless attempt.Here are some tips on setting your mind on getting active,and getting fit.
                Make your fitness goals known.
                Tell your family,friends and co-workers about your fitness goals and encourage them to ask you how your goals come along. (1)

                Make an appointment with your doctor.
                Ask the doctor about your health condition and how becoming more physically fit can help you become healthier. (2)
            A government study found just three hours of advice by doctors over two years helped improve"couch potatoes"("沙發土豆"————不愛運動的人) physical fitness.
                (3)

                If you're new to exercise,it'll be better to have a fitness professional set your goals rather than doing it alone.That means setting the weights on machines for you,determining how long you should walk or run,or giving you a time limit for the running machines..
                Consider healthy living,not just workouts.
                Even if you spend three hours a week in the gym,what of the other 100-plus waking hours each week?Fit people keep energetic during their entire day. (4)
            You can simply stand up and walk around whenever you get on the phone and always take the stairs,not the lift.
                Do it for charity.
                (5)
            :If you fall into that category,then find a way to use your charitable nature to motivate yourself to exercise.For example,donate £1 for every mile you walk.Or commit to several fund-raising events that involve walking,biking,dancing,or a sports match.

            A.Hire a personal trainer.
            B.Then ask for some suggestions.
            C.Focus on what matters most to you.
            D.Some of us get great satisfaction from helping others.
            E.The ongoing everyday activity leads to a whole lot of fitness.
            F.Documenting your workouts and progress is a good way to hold yourself accountable.
            G.Knowing that everyone is watching you provides great motivation to stick to your goals.
