People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man’s release of completely new and often artificial (人造)substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance (物质), such as oil from oil tankers into the sea. Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up there or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal (处理)of the products we use in our daily lives.Much of the pollution could be controlled if only ______.A. people would pay more attention to the problemB. governments would take effective measuresC. all sides concerned would make more effortsD. farmers would use less artificial fertilizers

阅读理解Waste. It's something we're often told not to do.At home, parents tell us not to waste food. In the classroom, teachers tell us not to waste time. On a sports team, coaches tell us not to waste energy. People who don't want to hear our ideas, tell us not to "waste our breath". Whether it's food, time, energy or breath—waste is a loss of something valuable. Waste happens because we use too much of a material or because we don't use it well.We often use "waste" in agreement. If we're unhappy with someone, we can say: "Don't waste my time." If we're really angry with someone, we can say, "You are a waste of space." And if you're not happy with the result of something you've done, you can say, "Well, that was a complete waste of time." If someone is very sick or is losing a lot of weight, we can say he is "wasting away". And if someone has too much time and cannot control his words and actions, we can say he is "wasted".We also find it in some useful expressions. "Haste makes waste." means if you do something in a hurry, you may make mistakes. And it takes more time and efforts to fix mistakes.(1)When we use something too much or don't use it well, it means we ________ it.A.cost B.afford C.disappoint D.waste(2)What can you say when you're really angry with somebody?A.Don't waste our time.B.You are a waste of space.C.That was a complete waste of time.D.You are wasting away.(3)What will happen if we do something in a hurry according to the last paragraph?A.We may waste space.B.We may waste money.C.We may make mistakes.D.We may fix our mistakes.It was a beautiful sunny spring day. I'd just finished driving my daughter to the airport to catch an early flight. My sons and I then went for breakfast. After eating we'd like to return home.The restaurant was on a hill. At the foot of the hill was a stop sign, so we had to wait behind a long line of traffic while the cars at the foot turned onto the main road one by one. As I looked down, I saw an elderly man standing by the sign. His clothes were old and he held a sign with the words. "Need Help Please!" written on it. My heart went out to him and I imagined myself in his situation. As car after car turned onto the road without stopping for him, I reached for my wallet to look for the money. Just then l saw a young lady walk up to him along the side of the road. She was carrying a bag full of food from the restaurant. I watched as the old man thanked her and smiled.Suddenly there was a loud noise from the car behind me. It made me realize that I hadn't been moving forward, because this simple choice for kindness had caught my attention and my heart so much. By the time I reached the sign, both the man and the lady had gone. Yet, as I drove home, the sun seemed to shine even brighter.A choice is such a powerful thing. It can touch a heart and change one's life. Each day we are given a thousand choices. May you make all of yours for kindness. May you make your whole life a choice for love and joy.(1)How did the writer go to the restaurant?A.By plane. B.On foot. C.By car. D.By bus.(2)Who helped the elderly man at last?A.The writer.

B.￥25. C.￥50. D.￥75.Don't you love it when you have a bit of free time? After school or work, during the weekends, or even in your lunch break, it's great to get a little time for yourself. In general, "free time" is a luxury; it's "free" time because it's time spent not working, studying, or running. To be honest, the beauty of free time is that you don't have to do anything; you can be free to choose what you want to do. When I have free time, I love to go for a run, draw and watch some of my favorite TV plays.I've just had a whole month of free time at home with my parents. I finished working as a teacher at the end of April, and I was just about to start a new job in a publishing company. However, this month was not all that I thought it would be. Before I came home. I had plans to get healthier, do more about art, read more and so on. And guess what...NONE of it happened. I was lazy, I watched TV all day and I ate too much chocolate.I've discovered that when you have too much free time, it just turns into "time", and trying to pass that time becomes boring. It becomes much more difficult to make yourself do interesting things. It's a strange thing, but I think it's the same for most people. When you only have a little lit of free time, it becomes more valuable, and you can use it well. But when you have too much free time, you simply waste it.(1)When the writer has free time, he likes to ________.A.go shopping and runB. play basketball and drawC.sing, dance and watch TVD.run, draw and watch TV plays(2)What does the underlined word "luxury" mean?A.Free thing.

D.Just at home.(4)When is the free time valuable?A.When you have a little free time.B.When you have much free time.C.When you have a long vacation.D. When you have many plans.(5)What is the best title for the passage?A.Free time make me happyB.I love to have free timeC.Too much free time is boringD.Have plans for your free time阅读短文,并按照要求完成下面的小题。Feeling Sad? Hug a Tree!To stay safe during COVID-19, we've had to give up many things we enjoy, including physical touch with others. Gone are handshakes, kisses and hugs.A survey shows that humans need physical touch to stay healthy. Without it, many of us become lonely, sad and even sick. So, if you feel you need a hug, we know something you can safely put your arms around and hold close: A tree!Tree hugging may sound a little strange. But humans have practiced forms of nature therapy(疗法)for years. The Japanese Shinrin-Yoku is an example. It means forest bath in Japanese. But no soap or water is needed for it. All that is spending time in nature: listening to its sound, breathing in its smell, connecting to its life force.Recently, Israel has been improving tree hugging on social media. The manager of a park said, "In this unpleasant special period, we advise people around the world to go out to nature, take a deep breath, hug a tree, express your love and get love." Inside the park. some visitors followed the advice and hugged trees. One of them said. "The most basic human need is connection(联系), touching and hugging. We aren't hugging many people these days. Hugging a tree is a quite nice thing to do."Iceland's Forest Service started a similar activity in April. They advised everyone in the country to hug a tree for at least five minutes every day. The officers also cleared ways in the forests so that visitors could socially distance while they searched for that special tree. "There are plenty of trees," said a worker, "no need for everyone to hug the same tree."(1)题完成句子;(2)、(3)题简略回答问题;(4)题找出并写下第四段的主题句;(5)题将文中画线句子译成汉语。 (1)To keep healthy, people have to give up ________ touch like handshakes, kisses and hugs during COVID-19.
