More than one million single-use straws (吸管), most of them plastic, are used in the United States each day. They end up in waterways, harm sea animals, and break down into micro-plastics. Quantities of places have passed plastic-straw bans as a way to start handling the global plastic waste problem.
Straw materials: advantages and disadvantages
1. Metal
Made of stainless steel, aluminum, or even titanium, metal straws have become popular. They draw some criticism for having a metallic taste and conducting heat from a hot drink, but they’re strong and can be reused.
2. Paper
Paper drinking straws, which date from the late 1800s, often absorb liquid over time and can leave a taste or fibers in drinks. They’re the most popular throwaway choice in places with plastic-straw bans.
3. Glass
Though glass straws may be more breakable and thus less portable than reusable straws of other materials, they hold up well to washing and reuse. Some straws are made to look artistic, with colors and blown-glass designs.
4. Bamboo
This natural material can be sustainably produced and is a plant-based replacement of plastic straws. Bamboo straws are easily disposed of and turned into fertilizer. They are reusable but can be hard to clean completely and may absorb flavors.
1.What is the major problem with plastic straws?
A.Function. B.Flavor.
C.Weight. D.Pollution.
2.Which of the following belongs to single-use straws?
A.Metal straw. B.Paper straw.
C.Glass straw. D.Bamboo straw.
3.What is the advantage of the bamboo straw?
A.It can become fertilizer. B.It is easy to clean.
C.It is portable and bendable. D.It has different designs.

Scientists have recently discovered a major habitat where live more than 1.5 million Adelie penguins(企鹅)near the Antarctic Peninsula. Based on direct ground counts and computer counts, the researchers found a total of 751,527 pairs of Adelie penguins on the Danger Islands in the Weddell Sea on the east side of the Antarctic Peninsula. The Adelie penguins discovered here is more than the rest in the other places of Antarctic Peninsula, which was published in the journal Scientific Reports.
Moreover, the number represents the first complete census of Adelie penguins in the Danger Islands, the researchers added. “Until recently, the Danger Islands wasn't known to be an important penguin habitat.” Heather Lynch, an ecologist from Stony Brook University who led the study, said, “These super habitats have gone undiscovered for decades partly because the islands themselves are distant and the dangerous waters that surround them.” The Danger Islands appears to have avoided recent loss in penguin population documented on other parts of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Another study published earlier suggested that more than 70 percent of king penguins may disappear by the end of the century as a result of global warming and overfishing. As the Danger Islands is likely to remain important islands for many penguins under climate change, scientists believe it deserves special consideration in the design of Marine Protected Areas in this area. “Now that we know how important this area is for penguin, we can better move forward designing Marine Protected Areas and managing the fishery,” said Lynch.
The idea of building the Marine Protected Areas, which covers 1.8 million square km of the Weddell Sea and around the Antarctic Peninsula, was first put forward by the European Union and supported by nongovernmental organization Greenpeace. In January, a global campaign has been started in the vast fishing-free zone to better protect wildlife.
1.What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A. Researchers knew the number of penguins only by computers.
B. There are 751,527 pairs of penguins on the Antarctic Peninsula.
C. Researcher may have never been to the Antarctic Peninsula.
D. The Danger Islands may be fit for penguins to live on.
2.What does the underlined word “census” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Population count. B. Living condition.
C. Birth. D. Desert.
3.Why are there many penguins on the Danger Islands?
A. The Danger Islands is unknown for humans.
B. There is little climate change there.
C. Many people are protecting penguins.
D. The Danger Islands is free from being disturbed by humans.
4.What can we know from what Lynch said?
A. Half of king penguins will die out in the future.
B. The Antarctic Peninsula needn't become Protected Areas.
C. Because the Danger Islands is dangerous, it becomes a super habitat.
D. The number of penguins discovered here is the largest in the Antarctic Peninsula.

iPhone owners are vainer and spend more on clothes and grooming (仪容) than those who have BlackBerrys and Android phones, new research claims.
BlackBerry owners earn the most and are more likely to have long-term relationships, while people with Android handsets are most creative and the best cooks.
The study, carried out by TalkTalk Mobile, surveyed 2,000 owners of the three major smartphone brands to determine whether the choice of handset was an extension of their personality. The study rated users in various walks of life using a point scoring system including personalities, daily habits and the type of industries they work in.
Other results from the study found that people with an iPhone are more image conscious and generally rate themselves more attractive than those with other handsets. They are most likely to describe themselves as adventurous, bright and are most likely to work in media, publishing and education. They also believe their boss rates them highly. Apple owners also tend to have done more travelling and are the most active on social media sites.
BlackBerry owners were found to be the least punctual, but despite putting in the least hours at work they are the most active phone user — sending more texts and making more calls in the average day than any other phone user. They are more social and have more friends overall. They also earn nearly two and a half thousand pounds a year more than other smartphone owners, with an average salary of $27,406. BlackBerry users classed themselves so loud and mainly work in the health, finance or property sectors. They were also found to drink more tea and coffee each day than any other phone user.
Android owners were found to watch more TV than others and drink the most alcohol — consuming more in an average week than iPhone and BlackBerry drinkers. They have the most jobs in engineering, the government and public services and environmental services. They have the best manners and are more shy and relaxed than their counterparts.
Dan Meader, Director of Mobile at TalkTalk, said, “Many of us have our mobile phones on us almost constantly so they do become an extension of us in many ways. It’s interesting to see then how the choice in handset may reflect different aspects of personality and the results do show some unusual differences.”
1.The underlined words “image conscious” (Paragraph4) mean “caring about ________”.
A. income B. appearance
C. social media D. interpersonal relationships
2. What were Android users found to be like?
A. Loud. B. Brave. C. Polite. D. Confident.
3. Dan Meader may agree that the kind of mobile phone we use ________.
A. will decide the way we live our life
B. can be a window into the lives we lead
C. can change our personalities gradually
D. has become the most important part of our life
4.How is the text organized?
A. By drawing comparisons. B. By giving reasons only.
C. By providing examples. D. By giving solutions.

In a very real sense, people who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read. To have read Gulliver’s Travels is to have had the experience of listening to Jonathan Swift, of learning about man’s cruelty to man. To read Huckleberry Finn is to feel what it is like to drift (漂流) down the Mississippi River on a raft . To have read Byron is to have suffered his rebellions with him and to have enjoyed his nose—thumbing at (对……的蔑视) society. To have read Native Son is to know how it feels to be frustrated in the particular way in which Blacks in Chicago are frustrated. This is effective communication. It enables us to feel how others felt about life, even if they lived thousands of miles away and centuries age.
