Observing the amazing night sky on Tuesday nights.BI could feel the judging eyes of my family burning a hole into the back of my head as I picked up my phone. All
17、of a sudden, the chattering in the living room died and all I could hear was the sound of the turkey sizzling (发出嘶嘶声) in the oven. “Look at her! Shes been on her phone all day long! Its all your fault! Children will never respect elders if they are not taught how to behave! ” my grandmother shouted.
18、I was very shocked and angry! I opened my mouth to say something, but words failed me and I just sat down quietly on the chair like a mouse in its trap. I thought “Here we go again.” I truly love my family and I would do anything for them. I also know that should the need arise they would do anythin
19、g for me as well. However, there are moments that make me feel like they are just stuck with me. They all agree on one thing: technology is wrecking me.If I am going to be treated like a child or completely ignored, I will most likely not enjoy your company, and I feel like this applies to the major
20、ity of the people. So I sometimes simply shut myself in my room and listened to the voices coming from the living room, thinking: They all grew up in a world so different that it amazes me how they have actually gotten this far. They did not have phones or any type of advanced technology, which is b
21、oth good and bad. Bad because they had almost no type of fast communication, and good because they were forced to interact with one another, which is something todays society is lacking in. However, maybe if they made an effort to be aware of how things work nowadays, they would not be so against ev

25、 each other more. C A new “smart bin” could mean the end of environment-conscious families spending hours sorting tins, bottles, and cardboard for recycling. The invention, which automatically sorts rubbish into recycling categories, is being trialed in Poland and is set to go on sale in the UK with
26、in a few years. The bin, designed by start-up company Bin. E, recognizes different types of waste via a system positioned inside the bin which uses sensors, image recognition and artificial intelligence. Once waste is placed inside, the camera and sensors identify its type and place it in one of the
27、 smaller bins. Then it compresses (压缩) the waste so it occupies less space. News of the launch showed that more than a million households are being forced to accept bin collections every three or four weeks, because councils are trying to force them to recycle more. Data collected by The Telegraph h
28、as showed at least 18 areas have moved or will shortly be moving to three-weekly rubbish collections, while a further three have adopted or are trialing four-weekly collections. While reducing general bin collections, councils are increasing the frequency of recycling collections in a bid to change
29、peoples behavior. It is thought that the bin could be stocked by department stores such as John Lewis, which said it is introducing new hi-tech recycling bins to satisfy increasing customer appetite for them. Matt Thomas, a utility (家用设施) seller at John Lewis, said, “Weve recently seen a jump in spe
30、cialist bins sales, with a 25 percent increase in the last few months alone. We have noticed our customers are becoming more and more sustainability-focused, choosing dual compartment (双格) recycling bins that make it far easier to recycle different types of waste. In response to this demand, we are
31、really excited to introduce a new voice and sensor activated smart bin this autumn / winter season designed to use new technology to make recycling more efficient and functional for the everyday home.”28.What can we know about the smart bin from the first two paragraphs?A.

35、ll for Rubbish CollectionC. A Smart Bin That Sorts Different RubbishD. A Recycling Campaign in the UKDFor the last few months, I have given up what was previously one of my favorite foods: beef. Eating less red meat to be healthier and better for the environment is surprisingly to me really easy to
36、do. Sometimes it seems like much of our food is stuck in a cycle of excessive (过度的) production and excessive consumption.Meat consumption today contributes to global warming and the worsening environment . Its estimated that 14.5% of global man-made greenhouse gas emission come from livestock(家畜) wh
37、ich is more than the contribution from all forms of transport. Beef production makes up 41% of those emissions. Last year, Brazil reported a 28% increase in Amazonian deforestation 80% of deforested land in Brazil is then used for cattle farming. Modern beef farming is also a huge drain(流干) on water
38、 resources.But it is possible to change. Reducing meat consumption is a growing trend, driven by health and environmental considerations. A switch to a “healthy diet” as recommended by Harvard Medical School which still includes eating meat, fish and eggs would reduce greenhouse gas emissions from f
39、ood production by 36%. The Norwegian military announced it is switching a one-day to a one-week vegetarian diet in a move against global warming, while even in the US consumption of red-meat is falling.As far as Im concerned, I feel healthier, more active and by making my diet more varied I never fe
40、el like I am missing out on anything. Stopping eating beef has also had a knock-on effect on the rest of my diet, and I am eating less. Cattle and other livestock dont have to be environmentally harmful. Grass-fed cattle need much smaller resource input. And as it has been shown, livestock, if manag
41、ed properly, can even restore degraded land.In the longer term, as Bill Gates highlighted, there is also great potential for advance in fields like synthetic(合成) meat. And there are other more sources of efficient protein; like insects! But in a world where more people are now dying from obesity tha
42、n malnutrition(营养不良) when hundreds of millions of people still dont have enough to eat, we cant solve this problem by simply continuing to make “conventional” intensive farming more intensive.32.

45、第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据对话情景和内容，从对话后的选项中选出能入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。We are surrounded by messages trying to get our attention. Advertisers, politicians and other groups all try to get us to agree with them. 36 . Propaganda is not always a bad thing, but it often hides the truth about a topic. Its very
46、similar to advertising, whose goal is to get people to buy something, while propaganda is to change what people believe.Propaganda TechniquesTo create propaganda, a common technique is name-calling. A politician might call someone a traitor or liar, which makes the other person look bad. Another is
47、the trend technique. People want to be on the side in the favor. 37 . Some propaganda is based on fear. It scares people into choosing a certain side or taking action, which might not be bad. Anti-smoking campaigns are one example.
