Most mornings, she stops by Elviss Los Angeles apartment and asks if he has any recyclable materials for her. Through these conversations they struck up a friendship. One morning, Elvis saw a news article about a man in Oakland who has been making tiny houses out of deserted materials. He was inspired to put off paying a few bills so he could buy the wood and hardware to make Smokie a brand new shelter. It took him five days to build it, and now, for the first time ten years, Smokie has a place to hang the sign, “Home Sweet Home.” “I had nowhere to really build it, so I just built it in the street outside of my apartment,”Elvis told Good News Network. The local LAPD police have been super cool, and have told me they support itas long aswe move it to a different spot every 72 hours. ” He made this pretty time-lapse(延时的) video showing how he did it. The materials， including two locks on the front door and strong wheels for moving it around, cost him about $500. “Ive met so many homeless people, good people,” Elvis said in an email. “Since I built Smokies, Ive had several people asking me to make them a tiny home and its turned into much more than just the one house 1 wanted to build.” Although he runs an online retail store that sells EDM clothes，he has decided to launch an ambitious project to fund more shelters. He plans to get lighter and cheaper materialswithout sacrificing the strength of the housefor the next round.

According to the Ministry of Environmental Protection, China imported 7.3 million metric tons of plastic waste worth $3.7 billion in 2016, accounting for 56 percent of global imports of solid waste.Correct recycling of solid waste materials is an important part of the global economy, and moderate imports of scrap plastic, scrap paper and scrap rubber products, such as vehicle tires, can to some extent, make up for Chinas shortage of various raw materials.However, the lack of supervision has resulted in the countrys severe soil and environmental worsening.Given that Chinas continuing efforts to push for industrial transformation and upgrading have resulted in a noticeable decline in the demand for the materials recycled from solid waste imports. It is right for the country to restrict such imports for the sake of the environment and public health, and to better adapt to the changed industrial structure.8. Why will China ban the import of some waste materials?A. The amount of imported solid waste is increasing.B. The demand for imported solid waste is in decline.C. Some solid waste has damaged the environment and public health.D. People are more concerned about the environment and health now.9. Which phrase has the same meaning as the underlined word?A. Carrying out.B. Putting off.C. Calling off.D. Fighting against.10. What is the problem when China deals with the imported waste?A. Some imported waste is difficult to control.B. The environment cant afford the imported waste.C. Some departments havent shouldered their duties.D. Some useful materials are also among the solid waste.11. What can we learn from the passage?A. China will not rely on importing solid waste any more.B. Solid waste plays an important part in the global economy.C. People are against importing solid waste from developed countries.D. Some imported waste can relieve the urgent need for raw materials.DIll admit Ive never quite understood the obsession (难以破除的成见) surrounding genetically modified (GM) (改变) crops.To environmentalist opponents,GM foods are simply evil,an understudied,possibly harmful tool used by big agricultural businesses to control global seed markets and beat local farmers.They argue that GM foods have never delivered on their supposed promise,that money spent on GM crops would be better channeled to organic farming and that consumers should be protected with warning labels on any products that contain genetically modified ingredients.To supporters,GM crops are a key part of the effort to sustainably provide food to meet a growing global population.But more than that,supporters see the GM opposition of many environmentalists as fundamentally anti-science,no different than those who question the basics of man-made climate change.For both sides,GM foods seem to act as a symbol: youre pro-agricultural business or anti-science.But science is exactly what we need more of when it comes to GM foods,which is why I was happy to see Nature devote a special series of articles to the GM food controversy.The conclusion: while GM crops havent yet realized their initial promise and have been dominated by agricultural businesses,there is reason to continue to use and develop them to help meet the enormous challenge of sustainably feeding a growing planet.That doesnt mean GM crops are perfect,or a one-size-fits-all solution to global agriculture problems.But anything that can increase farming efficiencythe amount of crops we can produce per acre of landwill be extremely useful.GM crops can and almost certainly will be part of that suite of tools, but so will traditional plant breeding,improved soil and crop managementand perhaps most important of all,better storage and transport infrastructure (基础设施) especially in the developing world.(It doesnt do much good for farmers in places like sub-Saharan Africa to produce more food if they cant get it to hungry consumers.) Id like to see more non-industry research done on GM cropsnot just because wed worry less about prejudice,but also because seed companies like Monsanto and Pioneer shouldnt be the only entities (实体) working to harness genetic modification.Id like to see GM research on less commercial crops,like corn.I dont think its vital to label GM ingredients in food,but I also wouldnt be against itand industry would be smart to go along with labeling,just as a way of removing fears about the technology.Most of all,though,I wish a tenth of the energy thats spent endlessly debating GM crops was focused on those more pressing challenges for global agriculture.There are much bigger battles to fight.12.How do environmentalist opponents view GM foods according to the passage?A.They will eventually ruin agriculture and the environment.B.They are used by big businesses to dominate agriculture.C.They have proved potentially harmful to consumers health.D.They pose a big threat to current farming practice.13.What does the author say is vital to solving the controversy between the two sides of the debate?A.Breaking the GM food monopoly (垄断).B.More friendly exchange of ideas.C.Regulating GM food production.D.More scientific research on GM crops.14.What is the authors view on the solution to agricultural problems?A.It has to depend more and more on GM technology.B.It is vital to the sustainable development of human society.C.GM crops should be allowed until better alternatives are found.D.Whatever is useful to improve farming efficiency should be encouraged.15.What does the author think of the ongoing debate around GM crops?A. It arises out of ignorance of and prejudice against new science.B.It distracts the public attention from other key issues of the world.C.Efforts spent on it should be turned to more urgent issues of agriculture.D.Neither side is likely to give in until more convincing evidence is found.第二节（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Most of us lead unhealthy lives; we spend far too much sitting down. If in addition we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become loose and fatty and our systems slow moving. _16_I am thinking of such features of modern city life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects of these evils. The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other. While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them. For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports_17_there are such separate activities as cycling, walking, jogging and swimming. What often happens though is that you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, except for the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair.Even after you have found a way for keeping in shape, through sport or gymnastics, _18_, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete mental and physical relaxation. _19_Yoga, as practiced in the West, is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation. It seems ironical (讽刺性的), though, that as our lives have improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity_20_which were the natural way of life of our forefathers.A. be active and practise YogaB. There are some aspects of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid.C. and it is especially difficult to do so if you are not good at themD. physical effort on the one hand and relaxation on the otherE. they spent most of the time out of doorsF. you are still only half way to good healthG. It has to do with deep breathing, emptying your mind of all thoughts, meditation, and so on.第二部分英语知识运用（共三节，满分65分）第一节完形填空（共20小题, 每小题2分，共40分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。There is something graceful about a well-made hurricane lamp, especially the antique ones.
