• 12．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

• 13．Astronauts travelling in space meet forms of radiation that are uncommon on Earth.Some of this radiation has been shown to be harmful to human health.It is linked to cancers and heart problems.Yet a new American study suggests the radiation does not shorten astronauts' lives.
     Researchers studied nearly 60 years of health records and other data about male astronauts from the United States.They then compared this data with information about a group of men who are in good health，richer than most Americans and receive good health care-professional athletes.The study found that neither group has higher rates of dying at a young age.In fact，both groups generally live longer than other Americans.
     Astronauts are usually well educated，earn more money and are in better physical condition than the average American.Some earlier research has linked being an astronaut to a lower risk of early death，the researchers noted.The findings were reported in the publication Occupational & Environmental Medicine.
     Much of the existing research on mortality rates in astronauts has not yet explored the mental and physical demands of this job.There also has not been a lot of research on whether astronauts show what is known as the "healthy worker effect".This effect leads people with employment of any kind to have fewer medical problems than people who are unable to work，said Robert Reynolds.
     Reynolds said， "The challenge has always been to understand if astronauts are as healthy as they would be had they been otherwise comparably employed but had never gone to space at all.To do this，we need to find a group that is comparable on several important factors."
  
  （1）How did researchers carry out their study？

  
  A．By doing interviews.
  B．By analysing some factors.
  C．By comparing different data.
  D．By doing experiments in the lab.
  （2）What can we learn from the text？

  
  A．All radiation is harmful to human health.
  B．Athletes tend to be poorer than most Americans.
  C．Healthy worker effect makes working people healthier.
  D．Research has explored the mental and physical demands of being astronauts.
  （3）What can be inferred from Reynolds' words？

  
  A．Researchers are determined to face the challenge.
  B．The research is almost impossible to conduct.
  C．Several important factors hold back the research.
  D．Astronauts are as healthy as they would be if they haven't been astronauts.
  （4）What can be a suitable title for the text？

  
  A．Astronauts-healthy or otherwise
  B．Astronauts are as healthy as athletes
  C．Radiation affects astronauts' health
  D．Astronauts-well-educated and earn more

• 14．We all agree that we should recycle more at home，in the office or when out and about. （1）

  Consequently，they can be collected and taken to the right place for recycling.This is what the process of sorting allows us to do.
    （2）

  And the effective sorting needs to happen first，in our own home and second，in sorting plants to which waste is collected.When you put a plastic bottle in the right recycling bag or bin，you are helping sort recyclables so that the right material can be fed into the right recycling process.If sorting does not happen，a lot of recyclable materials can end up in landfills.It will lead to valuable resources lost from our economy.
     （3）

  For instance，in Brussels consumers put plastic packaging，cans and beverage cartons in blue bags designed for recyclable packaging；paper in yellow bags for recycling；and glass needs to be taken to specific collection bins.Somewhat differently，in Vienna（Austria），citizens can expect their paper，metal，glass and plastic to be separately collected in different weeks of the year.（4）

  
     Once recyclable materials are collected from your home，they are further sorted in specialized facilities which ensure the quality of the recycling process.（5）

  Traditionally，sorting has been done either manually with workers sorting what can be recycled and picking out the materials to be discarded or mechanically.Today，however，new sorting technologies are being developed in order to speed up the process of sorting but to also cause better results.Exciting technologies using magnets or optical systems are being used to effectively sort materials so more of it can be recycled.
  
  A.For effective recycling we need effective sorting.
  B.Packaging at work is the first step towards recycling.
  C.This is where different sorting techniques come into play.
  D.So citizens need to be aware of their local collection system.
  E.Collection systems can be very different from country to country.
  F.The rest was landfilled or burned even though they could have been recycled or reused.
  G.But for materials to be recycled，they first need to find their way to the right waste stream.

     A funny thing happened to Arthur when he was on the way to work one day.As he walked along Park Avenue near the First National Bank，he heard the sound of someone trying to start a car.He tried again and again but couldn't get the car moving.Arthur turned and looked inside at the face of a young man who looked worried.Arthur stopped and asked， "It looks like you've got a problem."
     "I'm afraid so.I'm in a big hurry and I can't start my car."
     "Is there something I can do to help？" Arthur asked.The young man looked at the two suitcases in the back seat and then said， "Thanks.If you're sure it wouldn't be too much trouble，you could help me get these suitcases into a taxi."
     "No trouble at all.I'd be glad to help."
     The young man got out and took one of the suitcases from the back seat.After placing it on the ground，he turned to get the other one.Just as Arthur picked up the first suitcase and started walking，he heard the loud noise of an alarm.
     It was from the bank.There had been a robbery!
     Park Avenue had been quiet a moment before.Now the air was filled with the sound of the alarm and the shouts of people running from all directions.Cars stopped and the passengers joined the crowd in front of the bank.People asked each other， "What happened？" But everyone had a different answer.
     Arthur，still carrying the suitcase，turned to look at the bank and walked right into the young woman in front of him.
     She looked at the suitcase and then at him.Arthur was surprised. "Why is she looking at me like that？" He thought."The suitcase!She thinks I'm the bank thief！"
