Or do you often buy new clothes only to wear them once before throwing them away? Research shows that you are not alone; a recent survey in Australia has shown that roughly a quarter of Australians have thrown away a piece of clothing after wearing it just once.Sarah Freeman was so shocked by these findings that she decided to do something about it. She has founded a “clothes library” in Sydney, where customers can rent clothing instead of purchasing it; this way, you can still only wear it once but without being wasteful.Research suggests that global clothing production doubled between 2000 and 2014! Clothes these days can sometimes only last two or three washes before they need to be replaced. Not only are these short- lasting clothes not good for your wallet, but theyre also terrible for the environment. The majority of these clothes are produced in third world countries, and their factories use up huge amounts of energy and pollute the waterways nearby.Sarahs clothes library is a great way to get fantastic designer clothes at an affordable price, and its also good for the environment. Compared with a regular clothing store, Sarahs business hardly produces any waste. Customers can pay a monthly subscription fee(会员费) and enjoy 4 to 6 pieces of clothing per month.Sarah thinks that her clothes library can make a difference and hopes to see one in every shopping center. But will it be a hit? Reading books that have been read by another person is one thing, but to wear clothes that have been worn by others is another even though great brands are available to rent.The very similar Fashion Library in Amsterdam made news headlines in 2015, and others have sprung up in other places around the world as well.24What problem of Australians is mentioned in paragraph 1?ABeing enthusiastic about going after fashionBStoring piles of clothes in their cupboards.CBuying clothes regardless of their prices.DBeing wasteful in dealing with clothes.25Whats talked about modern clothes in paragraph 3?AWhy they last so short.BTheir fast developmentCTheir harmful influences.DWhat leads to their poor quality.26Whats the authors opinion on the clothes library?AHe/She thinks itll be well accepted.BHe/She throws doubt on its popularity.CHe/She believes its of great necessity.DHe/She strongly opposes its wide spread.27It can be inferred from the text that _.Athe clothes library concept isnt newBSarahs clothes library is completely waste-freeCdesigner clothes arent available in Sarahs clothes libraryDcustomers can rent unlimited pieces of clothing every monthCWhen shes playing with her children, Sandra Kims phone is nowhere in sight. For instance, she puts it upstairs before going downstairs to play with her children. Kim, a stay-at-home mother of three children between the ages of 3 and 8, knows that whenever she uses her phone, her kids get upset. When were playing, I call my husband to tell him that I wont be accessible for a few hours, Kim said.Its obvious that we are at a time when cellphones are causing trouble in relationships. A study asked college couples how dependent they were on their smartphones and how difficult it would be for them to go without their phones for a day. Those who felt that their partners were too dependent on their phones said they werent as satisfied with their relationship as those who considered their partners to be less dependent on them.“Its a very complicated issue,” said Brandon McDaniel, an assistant professor in the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences at Illinois State University who studied phones and relationships. It is often unrealistic to cut out phone use entirely, and it is also unrealistic to simply tell yourself that you will practice self-control and not check your phone, McDaniel said. But, he added, It can also begin to tear relationships apart so we need to be careful.McDaniel found that it damaged relationships when partners allowed their devices(设备) to interrupt their face-to-face interactions, turned to others online instead of believing in their partners or compared their relationship with those they saw on social media. In a 2014 study, he found that when technology devices frequently interrupted partners, couples had more conflict（冲突）over technology use, lower relationship satisfaction, more depressive symptoms and lower life satisfaction.But the phone doesnt even have to be turned on to be troublesome. If we can at least start from a common meaning that we love each other and want to connect, then we can set some ground rules(基本规则) for things that will help to keep us connected.28What can we know about Kim when she is playing with her kids?AShe always goes upstairsBShe frequently checks her phone.CShe stays away from her phone for hours.DShe keeps in touch with her husband on the phone.29Peoples frequent use of smartphones can lower their partners_.Aconflict in technologyBrelationship satisfactionCdependence on the InternetDconfidence in communication30What is McDaniels suggestion on the use of smartphone?ABeing careful.BTurning to other people.CPracticing self-control.DStopping using the phone.31What is the best title for the text?ATimes come when we depend on phonesBKids need your time spent with themCGreat changes brought by cellphonesDWatch out for your smart phoneDAstronomers have taken the first ever image of a black hole, which is located in a distant galaxy (星系). It measures 40 billion km across three million times the size of the Earth and has been described by scientists as “a monster”.The black hole is 500 million trillion km away and was photographed by a network of eight telescopes across the world. Details have been published today in Astrophysical Journal Letters.Prof Heino Falcke, who proposed(提议) the experiment, told BBC News that the black hole was found in a galaxy called M87. “What we see is larger than the size of our entire Solar System,” he said. “It has a mass(质量) 6.5 billion times that of the Sun. It is an absolute monster, the heavyweight champion of black holes in the Universe.” The image shows an intensely bright “ring of fire”, as Prof Falcke describes it, surrounding a perfectly circular dark hole. Some scientists assumed that the bright ring is caused by superheated gas falling into the hole. The light is brighter than all the billions of other stars in the galaxy combined which is why it can be seen at such distance from Earth. The edge of the dark circle at the centre is the point at which the gas enters the black hole, which is an object that has such a large gravitational pull (引力) that even light cant escape.The image matches what theoretical physicists and indeed, Hollywood directors, imagined black holes would look like, according to Dr Ziri Younsi, of University College London. “Although they are relatively simple objects, black holes raise some of the most complex questions about the nature of space and time, and finally of our existence,” he said. “It is surprising that the image we observe is so similar to that which we obtain from our theoretical calculations (计算). So far, it looks like Einstein is correct once again.” But having the first image will enable researchers to learn more about these mysterious objects. They will be keen to look out for ways in which the black hole leaves from whats expected in physics. No one really knows how the bright ring around the hole is created. Even more interesting is the question of what happens when an object falls into a black hole.32What made the scientists call the black hole a “monster”?AThe holes larger size.BIts distance from the earth.CThe gravitational pull.DThe bright ring of the hole.33Why can the black hole be seen from the Earth?AThe superheated gas falling into the hole makes it brighter.BAn intensely bright “ring of fire” surrounds the black hole.CThe gravitational pull of the hole is so large that no light escapes.DThe light of the other stars combined cant match that of the hole.34About the image of the black hole, which of the following is CORRECT?AEight telescopes in the USA cooperated to take the image.BIt will help researchers to learn more about black holes.CIt is different from what Hollywood directors imagined.DIt enables scientists to know the nature of our existence.35What might be the best title for the passage?AThe Heaviest Black HoleBFirst Black Hole Image ReleasedCA Surprising MonsterDEinstein is Correct Once Again第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction(瘾). When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain, which makes us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. 36 In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, one that doctors suggest we all cut down on.“It seems like every time I study an illness and search for the first cause, I find my way back to sugar,” says scientist Richard Johnson. 37 Why? “Sugar, we believe, is one of the causes of the problem, if not the major reason,” says Johnson.Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored for when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. 38Well, what is the solution? Its obvious that we need to eat less sugar. 39 From breakfast cereals (谷物) to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it.40 Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier food like fruit. Other schools are growing their own food in gardens or building facilities (设施) like walking tracks for students and others in the community to exercise.ABut there are those who are fighting back against sugar.BHigh-sugar foods can negatively affect your energy levels.CSo the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us.DAll tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect.E. The trouble is, in todays world, its extremely difficult to avoid.F. The average person takes in about 24 kilograms of sugar each year.G. 1/3 of adults worldwide have high blood pressure and 2.5 billion suffer from obesity.第三部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分, 满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。When John Gurdon was 15, he ranked last out of the 250 boys in his grade at biology. He also came in last for every other science subject. His teacher wrote in a 41 , I believe he has ideas about becoming a 42 ; form his present performance this is quite foolish. Luckily the teachers words didnt 43 Gurdons love for science. He kept working hard. He went to labs earlier and left 44 than anyone else.

Japanese scientist Shinya Yamanaka had contributed to the research and therefore 46 the award.Gurdon got the honor 47 his research into cells and cloning. When he was studying at Oxford, he did some 48 on cells. He took a cell from an adult frog, moved its genes 49 , and put them into an egg cell(卵细胞). The egg cell then 50 into a clone(克隆) of the adult frog. His research 51 for the first time that every cell in the body contains the same genes.At that time, many people couldnt 52 Gurdons idea. But later it helped to 53 Dolly the sheep in 1996, the first cloned mammal in history. It also led to important findings in the 54 use of cells. For example, cells from someones skin can 55 into any type of tissue in the body. This is good news for those 56 who have diseased or damaged tissue.Gurdon always remembers the 57 he had when he was 15. He even p
