The EU parliament notes that because of its slow rate of breaking down, plastic residue(殘余) has been found in marine species as well as fish and shellfish - and therefore also makes its way into the human food chain.Under the new European law, tobacco panies will be required to cover the costs for the collection of cigarette butts. Manufacturers of fishing tools will also have to pay for the retrieval(找回) of any plastic nets that have been left at sea. Theres also a new focus on further raising public awareness, where producers of items such as tobacco filters(濾嘴), plastic cups, and wet wipes will be required to clearly explain to users how to appropriately dispose of them.The European mission first suggested the ban in May, which was approved by member states in October. China last year banned the import of 24 varieties of solid waste, including types of plastic and unsorted paper, putting pressure on Europe to deal with its own waste.The World Economic Forum estimates that there are about 150 million tons of plastic in the worlds seas. A study published in Science in 2015 suggested that between 5 and 13 million tons more are flowing into them every year. Research shows there will be more plastic than fish by weight in the worlds oceans by 2050, which has encouraged policymakers, individuals and panies into action.24. What is the best title for the passage?A. Plastic drives fish out of seas. B. EU paves the way for the world.C. EU bans single-use plastic items.D. Plastic threatens marine life and human.25. Under what circumstances has EU passed the new law?A. Plastic pollution has reached a disastrous degree.B. EU bears the responsibility for sustainable development.C. Plastic residue has been found in human bodies.D. Manufactures are prepared to collect used products.26. Under the new EU law, what result will be unavoidable for plastic producers?A. Production will be reduced.B. Products will be more expensive.C. The staff will be larger.D. Factories will be moved out of EU.27. What message is implied in Paragraph 4?A. China once urged EU to control plastic pollution.B. Chinas ban on solid waste inspired EU.C. EU and China has signed relevant agreements.D. EU once exported plastic waste to China. CYouve heard the predictions from some of the brightest minds about AIs influence. Tesla and SpaceX chief Elon Musk worries that AI is far more dangerous than nuclear weapons. The late scientist Stephen Hawking warned AI could serve as the “worst event in the history of our civilization” unless humanity is prepared for its possible risks.But many experts, even those who are aware of such risks, have a more positive attitude, especially in health-care and possibly in education. That is one of the results from a new AI study released Monday by the Pew Research Center. Pew canvassed the opinions of 979 experts over the summer, a group that included famous technologists, developers, innovators and business and policy leaders. The interviewed experts, some of whom chose to remain anonymous, were asked to join in the discussion of a serious and important question: "By 2030, do you think it is most likely that advancing AI and related technology systems will improve human capacities and control them?"Nearly two-thirds experts predicted most of us will be mostly better off. But a third thought otherwise, and a majority of the experts expressed at least some concerns over the long-term impact of AI on the "essential elements(要素) of being human." Among those concerns were data abuse, loss of jobs and loss of control brought by autonomous weapons and cybercrime(網(wǎng)絡(luò)犯罪). Above all, by taking data in and spitting answers out, those "black box" tools make decisions in digital systems. It is an erosion(侵蝕) in our ability to think for ourselves. 28. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A. To stop human developing AI.B. To inform readers how AI develops. C. To tell readers the result of a study.D. To encourage a public discussion. 29. What does the underlined word “canvass” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Ask. B. Adopt. C. Weigh. D. Analyse. 30. What are experts most concerned about?A. AI will beat humans in abilities and qualities.B. Humans will suffer a decrease of thinking ability.C. Humans will develop autonomous weapons.D. AI will e to power in human societies.31. What do we know about AI from the text?A. Elon Musk holds a positive attitude towards AI. B. Stephen Hawking warned people not to develop AI. C. Few interviewed experts expressed their concerns about AI. D. Most interviewed experts believed AI makes human life better. DIn the early hours of the morning, Gary Miller was in his truck, traveling down the road alone to deliver. Everything seemed calm. But with the sound of a fire siren (警笛) cutting through the wind, he became alarmed.Miller, a trucker by trade, has been a volunteer firefighter for 40 years. That loud, sharp siren assured him that help was on the way. Most people never realize that this help is often a crew of volunteer firefighters. They make up 70 percent of the countrys nearly 1.2 million firefighters. “When I was a teenager there would be many who responded. About 20 people were ing into the voluntary fire station at one siren.” Miller laughed. But now, at his 54, that memory is almost ironic (諷刺的)to him. When a call es in, his station might get only three or four people responding. He said: “People dont want to, or rather, they dont have time to volunteer.” Adults burdens have bee greater. There isnt as much time left for volunteering when most people rely on a two-ine household now more than ever. Firefighters face far more than what we imagine. The emotional stress on a firefighter stands out. “Were asked to help someone at their most vulnerable (易受傷的) time. But we cant always save the day like we hope to.” Miller reflected on the case years ago. “A mothers car was hit hard, and she had two children in the backseat." By the time he arrived on the scene, there wasnt much to be done. “One child died in my arms and I felt so defeated.” Along with the emotional stress, the physical danger is just as great. Even with the progress of equipment and new training, thats still not always enough to save a firefighters life. In 2016, 60 firefighters died in the line of the duty. “When you respond, you never know if it is to be your last,” Miller said. “And thats just a risk we take.” Miller continued. "Its dangerous. But its also the most rewarding thing Ive ever done."32. What was Gary Miller doing when the fire siren sounded that morning? A. He was off duty.B. He was doing the daily routine. C. He was on the way to rescue.D. He was driving to the fire station.33. Why is the memory of the early time ironic to Miller? A. Because many of his crew lost their lives.B. Because he no longer serves the fire station. C. Because firefighter is not an appealing job any more.D. Because fewer people want to be volunteer firefighters.34. What mainly causes the number of volunteer firefighters to drop? A. The challenging task.B. The emotional stress. C. The increasing burden.D. The possible danger.35. What does being a volunteer firefighter mean to Miller? A. A worthwhile experience.B. A way to make a living.C. An ironic memory.D. A risky adventure.第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10 分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。 Understanding special education What will appear in your mind when you think about special education?
