    18．Cigarette ends are everywhere-littering our streets and beaches-and for decades they've been thought of as"unrecyclable"．But a New Jersey based company，called TerraCycle，has taken on the challenge，and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette ends and turn them into industrial plastic products．Its aim is to recycle things that people normally consider impossible to reuse．
    Obviously it would be even better for the environment if everyone just stopped smoking，but the statistics show that although there has been an increase in anti-smoking ads and messaging，between 2000 and 2014，global sales of cigarettes increased by 8 percent，and a whole lot of those cigarette ends are ending up as trash．Since most of our litter eventually ends up in waterways，cigarette ends can surely pollute the surrounding environment．"It only takes a single cigarette end to pollute a liter of water，"TerraCycle founder，Tom Szaky，said．"Animals can also mistake littered cigarette ends for food．"
    So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful？TerraCycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts．They mix the remaining materials，such as the tobacco and the paper，with other kinds of rubbish，and use it on non-agricultural land，such as golf courses．The filters （过滤嘴） are a little harder．To recycle these，TerraCycle first makes them clean and cuts them into small pieces，and then combines them with other recycled materials，making them into liquid for industrial plastic products．
    They're now also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 80 percent of household waste that currently can't be recycled，such as chocolate packaging，pens，and mobile phones．The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in landfill （垃圾填埋），and then get companies to provide money for the process．And so far，it's working．

    28．What does TerraCycle intend to do？D
    A．Search for recyclable materials for use．
    B．Deal with as many cigarette ends as possible．
    C．Produce new kinds of industrial plastic products．
    D．Recycle what used to be considered unrecyclable．
    29．The underlined word"trash"in Paragraph 2 probably meansA．
    A．rubbish
    B．poison 
    C．disaster  
    D．ruin
    30．What does Paragraph 3mainly talk about？B
    A．The effective use of cigarette ends．
    B．The process of recycling cigarette ends．
    C．The difficulty in recycling cigarette ends．
    D．The reason for breaking down cigarette ends．

    12．If you take a look at the best-selling books in the UK these days，it is almost certain that there will be a lot of autobiographies （自传） in that list．Bill Clinton，Nelson Mandela and actor Michael J Fox have all written them．An autobiography is the story of a person?s life，written by that person．It is usually a very famous person who might tell us all about their childhood，how they became famous and any other interesting things that have happened in their lives．
    Traditionally，someone would write an autobiography when they were older because they had had a long，successful life．However，these days there are many magazines with stories and photos of the stars which sell very well．Reality TV shows are extremely popular and lots of people become famous very easily just from being on the TV rather than being able to sing or act well．As a result，people become famous very quickly and as soon as they are famous，a lot of money can be made from writing an autobiography，even if they are very young．
    So now you can find an autobiography from almost everyone who is in the public eye．Even though we can follow the lives of the stars very closely on TV or in magazines nowadays，we maybe don?t know how they live their lives from day to day．Autobiographies often give the information we never knew about the stars．The British public are very curious to find out more so they are very eager to read autobiographies．
    Not every star wants to write though．Sometimes stars employ writers to write their life stories for them．The writer will interview the stars，listen to everything they want to say，record interviews and then write books based on their words．David Beckham did this with his book My Side．
    Not everyone likes to read books regularly but they might like to read about the lives of stars．Autobiographies are helping to get more British people reading books．About 100million autobiographies are sold in Britain every year．More stars depend on them for extra income and as more of these books appear in the shops，more people are sure to keep buying them．
    Autobiographies，stories writt en by famous people about themselves，are popular in the UK．（要点1）But unlike traditional ones，many of today's autobiographies are about young stars who rise to fame quickly．（要点2）As they often contain information unknown before，readers are keen on reading them．（要点3）Not fond of writing，however，some celebrities hire writers to write their autobiographies．（要点4）Besides，due to autobiographies，more British people are involved in reading now．（要点5）（68 words）．

    19．The trouble of having to charge（充电）your smartphone for hours a day could become a thing of the past．
    British scientists have created a material that replaces the screen glass for phones，i-pad and smartwatches，but uses no power----meaning they could be charged weekly．The discovery is important because more than 90percent of a device's battery power illuminates（照明）the screen．
    Technology firms have focused on improving battery life．But the British experts say dealing with the main power-using may give better results．Oxford University engineer Dr Peiman Hosseini，who invented the material，told the Sunday Telegraph："You have to charge smartwatches every night．But if you had smart glass，you could recharge it just once a week．"
    The invention uses electrical pulses to create displays that require no power and can be viewed even in direct sunlight．Dr Hosseini's company，Bodle Technologies，hopes to have a prototype（样机）in a year．
    Battery life is seen as a major obstruction for modern computing and technology．While the power of technology and lifestyle gadgets（小器件）has improved rapidly in recent years，batteries have not kept pace．The success of smart watches，including Apple's version，is thought to depend on solving this problem because few users are willing to charge a watch every day．
    Gadget firms are also desperate to solve the problem．
    Apple，for example，is investigating using fuel cells to power its phones and laptops，and this year had gained a patent for a system that it claimed could power its gadget for weeks．
    In 2012US energy secretary Steven Chu called for a big push to improve batteries，challenging scientists to produce a battery with five times the capacity within five years．
    Aside from mobile gadgets，improving battery technology is seen as being key to the success of electric cars，which currently have a limited journey before they must stop to be recharged．

    32．Who invented the new material？B
    A．Energy secretary．
    B．Oxford University engineer．
    C．Technology firms．
    D．Apple Corps．
    33．What can we know about the invention？C
    A．It has gained a patent．
    B．It is popular with customers．
    C．It is a kind of glass．
    D．It uses power to charge the phones．
    34．The author uses the example of Apple in para7 to showD．
    A．what the key to success is
    B．why Apple products are popular
    C．how often batteries must be recharged
    D．how gadget firms are making efforts to improve batteries
    35．What can be inferred from the passage？B
    A.90% of batteries will be replaced with smart glass．
    B．It is likely that mobile phones will be recharged once a week．
    C．Scientists are focusing on increasing the number of batteries．
    D．Many users are willing to pay more for watches of Apple version．

    9．Parents do anything they can to give their kids the best chance to succeed．According to a report published by the Sutton Trust，a third of"professional parents"with children aged between five and 16 have moved to an area because they think it has good schools，and 18% to a specific school's catchment area．Some go further：3% admitted using a relative's address to get children into a particular school；and 2% said they had bought a second home and used that address to qualify for a place．
    As well as a fair few white lies，it all adds up to a large amount of money spent on trying to improve your children's chances of doing better educationally-and the point the Sutton Trust wants to make is that the more money you have，the more you can do to"buy"an advantage．
    It seems strange that parents，while focusing so eagerly on school，seem often to ignore a much cheaper way of improving their children's educational fate．Because the more stable a home life children have，the better they will be able to concentrate at school，the better behaved they will be in school，and the better grades they will have on leaving school．
     There's plenty of research to back all this up：a recent study by the Childhood Wellbeing Research Centre found that children aged seven and older tended to do more poorly in exams and to behave badly at school if their parents split up．Another report funded by the Economic and Social Research Council，released at the end of last year，found that a stable family life meant children were more likely to take in what's being offered in the classroom．According to the Royal College of Psychiatrists，teenagers whose parents are fighting or separating may find it difficult to concentrate at school．
     Of course，many marriages are completely on track，100% hunky dory，and here the only thing worth stressing about is a school's SATs and GCSE results．But it may not be you，and I have to admit it's not me either：I've been married for more than a quarter of a century，and the one thing I'm sure of is that it's not a bed of roses．I've got four children aged between 11 and 21； and while I'm truly grateful to the many teachers who have taught them，and the schools they've been pupils at，I've become more convinced as the years go by that a stable home is an absolutely vital part in how they're getting on-and certainly much more crucial than where their school sits in the local league table．
    So spending a few hundred dollars for a course of Relate counselling sessions （and if you're on a low income，it can be a lot less，or even free） could be a much better use of the family's funds than spending thousands on moving house．Sure，your children might end up at a school whose exam results are far from satisfactory-but that's more than balanced against by the fact that they are likely to do better for having happier parents （and moving house，after all，puts even more pressure on a relationship）．
    According to Relate，80% of clients who went for adult relationship counselling said their partnership had been strengthened as a result．According to a whole pile of research stretching back across many decades，children tend to do best when they're raised in a stable family．I can't help wondering whether the only sure winners from the struggle to live by the best school gates are estate agents （房地产商） rather than the very children the move is designed to help．

    65．From the writer's point，to educate their children better，parents are expected toD．
    A．move to an area which has good schools
    B．use a relative's address
    C．buy a second home
    D．turn to adult relationship counselling sessions 
    66．The writer might subscribe to the idea thatC．
    A．the more money you have，the more you can do to"buy"an advantage 
    B．the more stable a home life children have，the more difficult it is for them to concentrate at school
    C．as to his marriage there is still room for improvement
    D．he is grateful to the many teachers，because the schools are more crucial than his family in how his children are getting on
    67．The fourth paragraph is mainly developedC．
    A．by contrast  
    B．by space  
    C．by example 
    D．by process
    68．What attitude does the writer hold towards spending thousands on moving house？B
    A．Positive   
    B．Negative  
    C．Neutral       
    D．Not Clear
    69．What is the meaning of the underlined word"hunky dory"in paragraph 5？B
    A．broken up
    B．satisfactory 
    C．departing from the right course 
    D．correct
    70．What is the main idea of the passage？D
    A．estate agents benefit a lot from the struggle to live by the best school gates
    B．some parents are going extremes to educate their children better
    C．the writer is satisfied with his children's achievement
    D．a stable home life is better than catchment areas in educating children．
