It's the most popular drink worldwide. According to the British Coffee Association, approximately two billion cups of coffee are consumed every day. But after the beans have been picked, roasted and brewed, the grounds（渣子）are often treated as waste. With the environment and resource consumption such hot topics at the moment, wouldn't it be great if we could reuse this waste to make something useful?

The company OCHIS produces sunglasses. Max Havrylenko, founder of the company, was searching for an alternative material to plastic. He wanted to "solve the problem of plastic use and overconsumption so as to create a greener world," he told the Guardian. OCHIS heats the grounds with vegetable oils, forming a bond. These are pressed into plates which are durable and flexible. These are then cut into the arms and frames of the glasses. "Don't worry," he says, "They won't dissolve（溶解）in the rain."

Rosalie McMillan, a London jeweler, uses recycled coffee grounds along with gold and silver to make handcrafted jewelry. Mixed with oils, the coffee is then subjected to heat and pressure to create a compound she calls "Curface". Her website says it has a "beautiful surface quality and texture" with similar properties to hardwood.

What about a coffee cup made from them? Kaffeeform is a German-based company that transforms used grounds and renewable plant-based raw materials into a durable composite. This is shaped into a variety of containers and polished and finished, ready to be sold. So, you can drink your coffee from a cup made of coffee.

And it doesn't stop there. Even without a factory, you can make use of coffee grounds. They make excel-lent fertilizer（肥料）. You can highlight something against them, or mix them with water to make a brown-toned paint. And the list goes on. So next time you finish your morning cup, lake a while to think again.

1.The first paragraph is mainly written to introduce 　　　　 .

A.how people treat coffee grounds B.annual consumption of coffee

C.growing popularity of coffee D.the big problem of wasting food

2.What can be inferred from the second paragraph?

A.OCHIS doesn't make sunglasses at all at present.

B.Plastic might be less eco-friendly to environment.

C.Coffee has become the raw materials of sunglasses.

D.Coffee-based plates are more durable and flexible.

3.The underlined word "subjected" in Paragraph 3 can be best replaced by 　　　　 .

A.accustomed B.exposed C.relevant D.sensitive

4.What does the author advise people to do in the last paragraph?

A.Think about how to recycle the coffee grounds. B.Take full advantage of their time.

C.Add more information to the list. D.Keep away from the coffee cups.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。续写的词数应为150左右。

A.J. shut the door of the truck. “Ready，” he said. His dad started the truck. It was six o’clock and freezing, but the strong morning sun promised warmer temperatures. It had been colder than normal over the past week, and the ground and ponds were already frozen.

“After we check on the cows，” Dad said, “you should have some time to practice roping.” A.J. wanted to enter the rodeos(竞技表演) in which cowboys rode wild horses, and caught cattle with ropes.

The best professionals could break from the gate on horseback, rope a calf(小牛), and hog­tie the calf in less than ten seconds. So far, A.J. needed nearly a minute and a half, but he’d only been at it a few months.

The truck bounced down the dirt road. In a few minutes, they turned through the field gate. A.J. pulled a pair of telescopes(望远镜). The black spots of cows on the far hill took shape. The cows gathered around the pond. A.J. guessed they wanted the water locked under the ice. The windmill­powered water pumps sometimes froze, leaving the cows with nothing to drink.

As they reached the top of the hill, they heard extremely frightened shouts from one cow and an answering bellow from another. Dad stopped the truck, and he and A.J. stared at the frozen pond anxiously.

A calf lay on the ice in the middle of the pond. A cow, no doubt the calf’s mother, stood onshore, shouting desperately. The calf struggled to get up but slipped and fell each time.

Suddenly, the morning sun seemed warmer. Too warmer. A.J. knew that the situation was urgent. If the calf lay there too long, she could fall through the ice and drown.

Dad eased the pickup down the hill and stopped at the edge of the pond. “No telling how long she’s been there，” he said.”The ice could be about to melt through. I don’t think we can risk it.”

“But, Dad...” Dad shook his head. “It’s just not safe.”

Paragraph 1:

A.J. watched the calf, whose eyes were wide with fright.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

It would be just like rodeo practice, A.J. thought, trying to stay calm.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Although air travel comes with jet lag, delays and awful food, it offers a brief digital detox—a precious few hours away from the wave of emails, messages and app announcements. But not anymore, In flight Wi-Fi is getting faster and cheaper, and is an increasingly common offering on budget and flagship airlines.

But how does in-flight Wi-Fi actually work? To simplify, there are two ways for an internet signal to reach your device when you’re up in the clouds. The first is via ground based mobile broadband towers, which send signals up to the aircraft’s antennas (天线). As you travel into different sections of airspace, the plane automatically connects to signals from the nearest tower, so there is (in theory at least) no interruption to your Internet. But if you’re passing over large areas of water or particularly remote zones, connectivity can be an issue.

The second method uses satellite technology. Planes connect to satellites in space (35,000 km above the planet), which send and receive signals via receivers and transmitters. Information is transmitted to and from your smart phone via an antenna on the top of the aircraft. These are the same satellites that are used in television signals and weather forecasting. Information is passed between the ground and the plane via the satellite.

All of that technology is expensive. The costs are usually passed on to customers. Over half of the world’s aircraft will be equipped with in-flight Wi-Fi within the next few years. It is set to become a billion-dollar industry by 2020. In the near future you’ll need to find a better excuse than “Sorry I missed your message—I was on a plane”.

1.What sends signals up to the aircraft’s antennas?

A.Internet companies. B.Ground-based receivers.

C.Budget and flagship airlines. D.Ground-based mobile broadband towers.

2.Who will pay for the in-flight Wi-Fi technology in the end?

A.Aircraft passengers. B.Satellite company.

C.Broadband towers. D.The local government.

3.What can we infer about in-flight Wi-Fi from the last paragraph?

A.It serves every customer. B.It has a bright future.

C.It develops very slow. D.It’s a high-tech industry.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.How to Use In-flight Wi-Fi? B.Why Only Some Airlines Have In-flight Wi-Fi?

C.Why Is In-flight Wi-Fi Expensive? D.How Wi-Fi Works on a Plane?

根据节选小说内容，回答问题。

“Hello,”said Bruno.

“Hello,”said the boy.

The boy was smaller than Bruno. He wore the same striped pajamas that all the other people on that side of the fence wore, and a striped cloth cap on his head. He wasn’t wearing any shoes or socks and his feet were rather dirty.

When Bruno first approached the boy, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, staring at the dust(尘土) beneath him. However, after a moment he looked up and Bruno saw his face. It was quite a strange face too. ... When the boy looked at him, all Bruno could see was an enormous pair of sad eyes staring back.

Bruno was sure that he had never seen a skinnier or sadder boy in his life. He thought that he had better talk to him.

...

Bruno stared at the boy and considered asking him why he looked so sad but hesitated(犹豫) because he thought it might sound rude. He knew that sometimes people who were sad didn’t want to be asked about it; sometimes they’d offer the information themselves and sometimes they wouldn’t stop talking about it for months on end, but on this occasion, Bruno decided that he should wait before saying anything.

Bruno sat down on the ground on his side of the fence and crossed his legs like the little boy and wished that he had brought some chocolate with him or perhaps a pastry that they could share.

“I live in the house on this side of the fence,” said Bruno. ... “I can see right over the fence from there. I’m Bruno, by the way.”

“I’m Shmuel,” said the little boy.

...

“... How old are you?” Bruno asked.

Shmuel thought about it and looked down at his fingers and they wiggled in the air, as if he was trying to calculate(计算). “I’m nine,” he said. “My birthday is April the fifteenth nineteen thirty-four.”

Bruno stared at him in surprise. “What did you say?” he asked.

“I said my birthday is April the fifteenth nineteen thirty-four.”

Bruno’s eyes opened wide and his mouth made the shape of an O. “I don’t believe it,” he said.

“Why not?” asked Shmuel.

“No,” said Bruno, shaking his head quickly. “I don’t mean I don’t believe you. I mean I’m surprised, that’s all. Because my birthday is April the fifteenth too. We were born on the same day.”

Shmuel thought about this. “So you’re nine too,” he said.

“Yes. Isn’t that strange?”

“Very strange,” said Shmuel. “Because there may be dozens of Shmuels on this side of the fence but I don’t think that I’ve ever met anyone with the same birthday as me before.”

“We’re like twins,” said Bruno. “A little bit,” agreed Shmuel.

Bruno felt very happy all of a sudden...

1.How did Bruno feel about the boy at the first sight?

2.After hesitation, what did Bruno decide to do?

3.Why did Bruno stare at Shmuel in surprise?

4.Why did Bruno feel very happy all of a sudden?

5.What kind of boy do you think Bruno was? And why?

Japanese fans who watched their national team be defeated by the Ivory Coast on Saturday showed it is possible to lose graciously (优雅地), when they stayed behind after the match to help clean up.

Despite seeing Japan's Blue Samurais lose 2-1 against the Ivory Coast' s national team at the Arena Perambuco in Recife, the Japanese audience armed with plastic bags searched their side of the stadium and gathered up dropped litter. While gathering waste after a sporting event is customary in Japan, the audience' s actions came as a shock to football fans from other countries.

This isn't the first time the Japanese have taken trash outside the stadium. The 1998 FIFA World Cup held in France was the first ever World Cup that Japan had qualified for. After their first group game against Argentina, the Japanese fans gave the world a lesson in politeness and respect by actually cleaning the football stadium seats. They picked up all the trash around them whether it was theirs or not. They then walked out and threw the trash in the garbage cans before leaving.

The all-around cleanliness of Japanese large cities comes as a culture shock to people coming from other big cities in the world. This tidiness is not due to millions of dollars spent on street cleaners and "Let's clean-up our city" campaigns. It's not due to effective public works or community service. It's due to one simple thing: They don't throw their rubbish on the floor. This unique and rare concept allows for both huge cities and the countryside to stay neat and tidy.

To reinforce this behavior, the common signs in Japan ask people to take their litter home with them. Then, to reinforce the sign, hey usually have no garbage cans in the parks. So when faced with the choice of throwing their garbage on the ground or keeping it with them, they keep it. They don’t need a “Don't Litter” or Keep Japan beautiful” sign. They have been doing it their whole lives and are used to taking their garbage with them.

1.The story in Paragraph 3 mainly shows that___________.

A.Japanese people are used to carrying their own trash

B.Japanese fans have a habit of cleaning up the stadium

C.Japanese fans often clean stadium seats before the game

D.the Japanese are very interested in watching football games

2.What can we say about Japanese big cities' cleanliness?

A.It has become common practice. B.It is the result of community service.

C.It costs millions of dollars every year. D.It exists because of public campaigns.

3.Which of the following do the Japanese accept as normal?

A.Punishing the behavior of littering. B.Many signs reading "Don't Litter"."

C.Lots of garbage cans in the parks. D.Taking litter away with them.

4.The author's attitude to the Japanese audience might be that of____________.

A.criticism B.unconcern C.respect D.doubt

Food pictures that you display on WeChat can look more stylish if you follow our tips. 36.1.
