【題目】 IKEA (瑞典宜家家具公司) is set to launch (上市) an air-purifying curtain coated with a mineral-based surface that breaks down common pollutants. The surface of the curtain is treated with a photocatalyst (光催化劑) mineral that causes air pollution to break down when light shines through it, allowing users to purify the air in their own homes.

The technology works in a similar way to photosynthesis - the natural process that plants and some other organisms use to change carbon dioxide and water into food, using light.

Developed over several years by IKEA in collaboration with universities across Europe and Asia, the purifying technology works with both natural and artificial light. “For me, it’s important to work on products that solve actual problems and are relevant to people,” explained IKEA product developer Mauricio Affonso. “We are creating an affordable and space-saving air purifying solution that also makes the home more beautiful,” he continued.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has stated that even now, 91 percent of the world's population live in areas where air pollution goes over WHO guideline limits. The effects of poor air kill about seven million people worldwide each year, research by the WHO has found.

“Besides enabling people to breathe better air at home, we hope that the curtain will increase people's awareness of indoor air pollution, inspiring behavioral changes that contribute to a world of clean air,” said IKEA head of sustainability Lena Pripp-Kovac. “It is the first product to use the technology, but the development will give us opportunities for future applications on other textiles (紡織品).”

“We know that there is no single solution to air pollution. We work long term for positive change, to enable people to live healthier lives,” added Pripp-Kovac.

【1】What do we know about the air-purifying curtain?

A.It needs light to work.B.It keeps the pollutants out.

C.It's made from a mineral.D.It works as a photocatalyst.

【2】What did Mauricio Affonso think of the curtain?

C.power-savingD.obvious

【3】What’s the advantage of the curtain?

A.It helps decrease the world population.B.It purifies the air in the city.

C.It changes people’s bad habits.D.It promotes green lives.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.IKEA's profitable eco curtains.

B.IKEA's plan to decrease air pollution.

【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。主要說(shuō)明了宜家將推出一款以礦物為基礎(chǔ)表面涂層的空氣凈化窗簾，可以分解常見(jiàn)的污染物。文章說(shuō)明了這項(xiàng)技術(shù)的工作原理，以及宜家工作人員對(duì)此窗簾的看法和態(tài)度。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中The surface of the curtain is treated with a photocatalyst (光催化劑) mineral that causes air pollution to break down when light shines through it, allowing users to purify the air in their own homes.可知，窗簾的表面經(jīng)過(guò)了光觸媒礦物處理，當(dāng)光線通過(guò)它照射時(shí)，會(huì)導(dǎo)致空氣污染分解，讓使用者在自己家里凈化空氣。由此可知，空氣凈化窗簾需要光來(lái)工作。故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“For me, it’s important to work on products that solve actual problems and are relevant to people,” explained IKEA product developer Mauricio Affonso. “We are creating an affordable and space-saving air purifying solution that also makes the home more beautiful,” he continued.可知，宜家產(chǎn)品開(kāi)發(fā)人員Mauricio Affonso解釋說(shuō)：“對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，研發(fā)能夠解決實(shí)際問(wèn)題、與人相關(guān)的產(chǎn)品很重要。”他繼續(xù)說(shuō)道：“我們正在創(chuàng)造一種經(jīng)濟(jì)實(shí)惠、節(jié)省空間的空氣凈化解決方案，它也能讓我們的家更漂亮。”由此可推知，Mauricio Affonso認(rèn)為這個(gè)窗簾很實(shí)用。故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“We know that there is no single solution to air pollution. We work long term for positive change, to enable people to live healthier lives,” added Pripp-Kovac.可知，“我們知道，空氣污染沒(méi)有單一的解決方案。我們長(zhǎng)期致力于積極的改變，使人們過(guò)上更健康的生活，”Pripp-Kovac補(bǔ)充道。由此可推知，窗簾的優(yōu)點(diǎn)是促進(jìn)了綠色健康的生活。故選D。

【4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段中IKEA (瑞典宜家家具公司) is set to launch (上市) an air-purifying curtain coated with a mineral-based surface that breaks down common pollutants.可知，宜家將推出一款以礦物為基礎(chǔ)表面涂層的空氣凈化窗簾，可以分解常見(jiàn)的污染物。結(jié)合文章主要內(nèi)容為說(shuō)明這種窗簾能夠改善室內(nèi)空氣質(zhì)量，讓人們擁有更健康的生活。故選D。

【題目】 Talent shows are common on Chinese television, but instead of casting starry-eyed(幻想的) hopefuls, a new series pairs young famous actors with big-name veterans who are ready to teach them a lesson.

The Birth of Performer first appeared on Zhejiang Satellite TV in October and has already received 330 million online views for just its first two episodes. The show has caused debate on social media about the acting skills of some stars.

A flood of investment in China’s TV and film industry has driven up paychecks for popular young attractive persons and soap opera sweethearts, but some stars have been slammed by critics and the public for lacking professionalism and acting skills.

＂People wonder why some actors don’t take acting seriously with more and more money pouring in,＂Wu Tong wrote. However, he said that he had met many devoted young actors through the show, whose A-list cast of mentors(導(dǎo)師) includes Zhang Ziyi, who starred in the Oscar-winning kung fu epic Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; and comedy queen Song Dandan.

One highlight from the first episode saw Zhang appear to become angry when she disagreed with her fellow judge-mentor Liu Ye over the performance of contestant Zheng Shuang.

＂Do you know what acting is?＂Zhang questioned Liu. In response, Liu slammed his phone on the table — and then his shoe.

As the audience and contestants were left stunned(震驚的), Zhang turned to Liu and warmly said, ＂Give me a hug.＂The two mentors explained that their quarrel was intended to show how to act out a scene of conflict — but later, online commentators speculated(推測(cè)) that Zhang was concealing her genuine irritation.

【1】What can we learn about The Birth of Performer according to Paragraph 2?

A.Only the young love it.B.It proves popular.

C.The performers are excellent.D.There are fewer stars present.

【2】What does the underlined word ＂slammed＂in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.Praised.B.Employed.

C.Criticized.D.Applied.

【3】By mentioning Zhang Ziyi, Wu Tong wants to show _______.

A.she is famous worldwide

B.she earned a lot of money

C.she is devoted to performance

D.she has drawn public attention

【4】How did Liu react when Zhang Ziyi questioned Zheng Shuang’s performance?

A.He consulted with her patiently.

B.He behaved rather rudely.

C.He had words with her.

D.He fought against her.

【題目】 It is the season for long lines and frayed nerves. Here’s how to deal.

Lighten up

Do yourself a favor and ship your presents. Nearly every U.S. airline charges a fee to check a bag, so shipping gifts is now cheaper and more convenient than carrying them in your luggage.

Weigh your options

Now knowing what you’re going to pay for your luggage is annoying. So calculate your overweight-luggage fees at home. You can find the fees out in advance by visiting new site Luggage Limits, which provides the latest information on more than 90 airlines.

Leave amateurs in the dust

Trust us and get to the airport an extra half-hour early. The check-in and security lines are filled with inexperienced fliers, and it’s a hard walking. Plus, if you decide to cut it close, you may not get onto the flight at all. To reduce costs, airlines have reduced on flights and routes. The remaining flights are more likely to be oversold, especially on busy travel days. Fliers who check in early are the least likely to get bumped from oversold flights.

Take it public

The rates for renting a car at the airport have more than doubled over the past year because rental lot inventories (財(cái)產(chǎn)) have increased dramatically. True, renting at the airport is convenient, but it’s just not worth it anymore. Unless you really need a car, take public transportation, hop a cab, or beg a friend to pick you up at the airport instead.

Say no to bumper cars

Tell the people picking you up to avoid parking their car. They can hang out in their car for free while waiting to get a call from you when you land. Many airports, including JFK and LAX, now feature this sensible choice.

【1】Airlines have reduced flights to .

A.lower the costB.deal with crisis

C.reduce the time for leaveD.provide more job chances

【2】We can learn from the passage that _____.

A.many airports like JFK provides free parking service

B.shipping presents is more expensive than carrying them in luggage

C.taking a cab at the airport is less expensive than renting a car

D.Luggage Limits can give a discount on overweight luggage fees

【3】What’s the best title for the passage?

A.Cars at the AirportB.Good Seasons for Flight

C.How to Board a FlightD.5 Ways to Survive a Holiday Flight.

As is known to all that we students have to fix our attention on our lessons, so we know few of society. A holiday is the best time and the best chance to make up that. Take a part-time job is a good form of social practice. Neither that we have learned in books nor in class can have the same important effect on us as what we have learned through personally practice. In social practice, we can surely make a rapid progress in both knowledge and practical ability. However, when we take part-time jobs, we may get paid more or less to help our families. Thus, I suggested we senior school students should take part-time jobs in our holiday, if possible.
