1．My Favourite Books Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series（系列） of lifestyle books.Here she picks her top reads.
Matilda
Roald Dahl
I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words.Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress，Miss Trunchbull，are equally funny and frightening，but they're also aspirational.
After Dark
Haruki Murakami
It's about two sisters- Eri，a model who either won't or can't stop sleeping，and Mari，a young student.In trying to connect to her sister，Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse "night people" who are hiding secrets.
Gone Girl
Gillian Fynn
There was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did，but the horror story is brilliant.There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust.It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable.
The Stand
Stephen King
This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around.After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world's population a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left.Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.

2．A city in Sweden has used rainbow-colored garbage recently.It has one of the most impressive recycling records in the world and met the EU's 2020 target of recycling 50% of waste many years ago.
Almost all the citizens in this city follow a strict recycling policy at home.People are expected to sort their household waste into seven separate categories，including food，textiles，cartons and metal.But what really makes the system stand out is the bright color code.
The significance for this becomes clear at the city's recycling factory.The bags are collected altogether，so when they arrive at the factory，they are mixed up.But thanks to those bright colors，scanners can select the bags and separate them easily.One of the benefits of this method of recycling is that there is less cross-pollution （交叉污染物），so more of the recycled waste can actually be used to make new things.The food waste in green bags is processed on site into mud to make biogas，which powers the city's buses.Waste that cannot be recycled is burned at a local factory to produce electricity.This creates greenhouse gases，reducing dependence on traditional fuels，such as coal.
As countries around the world try to improve their recycling degree，some may look up to this city as an example to follow - as long as they think they can persuade their citizens to get sorting work done properly at home.
（1）What makes the system of rainbow-colored recycling so outstanding？
A．The impressive colors of the rubbish bags.
B．The self-control of citizens.
C．The strict recycling policy.
D．The eco-friendly code.
（2）Which of the following statements is true？
A．Rainbow-colored rubbish is commonly seen around the world.
B．When the rubbish bags arrive at the plant，they are mixed up.
C．The food rubbish will not be recycled to make new things.
D．All rubbish is burned to create electricity.
（3）If other countries want to recycle waste like this Swedish city，they first should.
A．persuade citizens to use as much traditional fuel as possible
B．forbid citizens to create greenhouse gases
C．not allow citizens to create any waste
D．talk people into sorting household waste in a correct way
（4）Where is this text most likely from？
A．An announcement.
B．A poster.
C．A magazine.
D．A science fiction.組卷：2引用：2難度：0.5 -
3．A Russian natural gas tanker has completed an experimental round trip along the Northern Sea Route（NSR）-the first time the path across the Arctic has been made at this time of year.It returned to the Russian gas station at Sabetta on February 19.The voyage by the Christophe de Margerie tanker through the ice is the latest visual indicator of climate change in the cold region.
The tanker set out from a Chinese port on January 27 after delivering its cargo.It entered the Northern Sea Route，which traverses（橫越）Russia's north coast.A few days later near Cape Dezhnev，it was met by the Russian nuclear icebreaker 50 Let Pobedy（50 Years of Victory）.Together they completed the 2，500-nautical-mile voyage through the ice in 11 days and 10 hours.
The ship managed-to complete the first leg of the trip from Russia to China without an icebreaker.Both of the journeys broke records for winter navigation（航行）due to the changing climate in the Arctic allowing passage through thinner ice.Using the Northern Sea Route lets shippers in Russia and other countries avoid a much longer southern journey around Europe，the Middle East and all of southern Asia，saving millions of dollars.
The ships encountered no multi-year buildup of old ice on the route，and the deepest ice was about 5 feet thick.However，meteorologist and journalist Eric Holthaus called that a clear indicator of "a climate emergency".
Last May，Christophe de Margerie became the first large-capacity cargo ship to complete an eastbound transit of the Northern Sea Route，two months earlier in the year than the journey traditionally made.
"As a result of the early Northern Sea Route voyage completed by Christophe de Margerie in May 2020，as well as the current NSR voyage，the navigation in the Eastern part of the Arctic was practically doubled，" Eric Holthaus said.He noted that for decades the transit route along that part of the NSR had typically remained closed by ice from November until July.
（1）Which factor contributed most to Christophe de Margerie's successful trip？
A．The ideal equipment.
B．The ocean current.
C．The nuclear power.
D．The climate change.
（2）What's Eric Holthaus' attitude to the gas tanker's trip across the Arctic？
A．Skeptical.
B．Concerned.
C．Critical.
D．Tolerant.
（3）What does the underlined word "encountered" in paragraph 4 mean？
A．Picked up.
B．Prepared for.
C．Came across.
D．Depended on.
（4）How long can the NSR route be used by cargo ships now？
A．2 months.
B．3 months.
C．4 months.
D．6 months.組卷：1引用：2難度：0.5
