There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier， "Paper or plastic？" Well，which type of bag would you choose？
While both types of bags have some influence on the environment，it has long been supposed that paper bags are better.They are made from a renewable source，are broken down easily，burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled，However，the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones.How can this be true？
Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production.And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times larger.Besides，the influence on forests is very serious.It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags，which happen to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly.In terms of recycling，the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly .Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper.
Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones，plastic still seems to be considered as the more harmful of the two by governments.In Ireland，for example，a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags.People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag，and as a result，their use has dropped quickly.
There's no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags.However，we don't seem to be doing that at present.That may be because they fall apart quickly.If so，cloth bags are a better choice，but still，their production also has a bad influence on the environment.So what to do？How should we answer the question of "Paper or plastic？" It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question： "What can I do to help the environment？"
8. Why does the author ask the question at the end of paragraph 1？ ______
A. To express the author's doubt.
B. To tell readers how to save money.
C. To show the kindness of the cashier.
D. To introduce the point for discussion.
9. Compared with plastic bags，paper bags ______ .
A. need more water to produce B. require less energy to recycle
C. have less influence on forests D. take more time to break down
10. What does the underlined word "discarded" in paragraph 3 probably mean？ ______
A. Shared. B. Discussed. C. Given up. D. Put forward.
11. Which question does the author probably hope the cashier ask？ ______
A. Paper or cloth？ B. A new bag or your own one？
C. Paper or plastic？ D. A small bag or big one？
D
Dive into the classical world via the remains of an ancient merchant ship that dates all the way back to 5 BC as Greece is constructing its first underwater museum.
Some of Greece's vast heritage of ancient shipwrecks are accessible to the public （divers and non divers） for the first time ever in a series of underwater museums.The first opened on August 3，allowing visitors to explore the"Peristera shipwreck"，which has been at the bottom of the Aegean Sea for more than two thousand years after it sank in the 5th century BC near the northern Greek island of Alonissos.Since a fisherman discovered the ship in 1985，it has remained off-limits to the public but now visitors can explore it by sea or by virtual reality.
Researchers believe it's the most important shipwreck from the classical era It had been believed that a trading ship of that type didn't exist until the Roman era some 400 years later.So when it was discovered years ago，it completely changed our understanding of shipbuilding in the ancient world.
Experts have yet to determine how or why it sank although there are some indications that a fire may have broken out.It's believed that it was carrying 4，000 vases of wine when it sank，most of which are still lying on the seabed，along with fishes and some little creatures who now call it home.
Greece had banned diving until 2004 or so，due to worries that undersea ancient heritage would be taken away but now the country is wholeheartedly hugging its rich underwater heritage.Access to the Peristera shipwreck is available through a new project that will create underwater museums across the Greek islands over the next two years.Divers will be able to tour the shipwreck with licensed guides and non divers can feel like they 're underwater with virtual reality information centres on land.
12. What is the main idea of the text？ ______
A. An underwater museum is under construction.
B. An ancient merchant ship is discovered.
C. Greece is trying to protect its heritage.
D. Divers are interested in Greece.
13. How long has the ship remained off limits to the public？ ______
A. For about 2，000 years. B. For about 400 years.
C. For about 40 years. D. For about 20 years.
14. Why do researchers regard it as the most important shipwreck？ ______
A. It carried 4，000 vases of valuable wine.
B. It becomes the first underwater museum.
C. It corrected some of our misunderstanding.
D. It is the oldest merchant ship in the world.
15. What can be inferred from the text？ ______
A. Some virtual reality equipment is on the ship.
B. All the visitors need to stay underwater to visit.
C. A. fire must have broken out on the ancient ship.
D. There is more than one way to visit the museum.

【小题3】constantly
【小题4】Regarding
【小题5】be stopped
【小题6】the
【小题7】that
【小题8】organizations
【小题9】has made
【小题10】to protect
【解析】（1）考查固定短语。句意：首先，由于温室效应，冰川正在融化，南极和北极的一些生物正面临灭绝的危险。due to"因为，由于"。故填to。
（2）考查名词。句意：首先，由于温室效应，冰川正在融化，南极和北极的一些生物正面临灭绝的危险。介词后接名词extinction，作宾语，是不可数名词，故填extinction。
（3）考查副词。句意：此外，随着全球变暖越来越严重，海洋的其他部分的生命也不断受到影响，包括鲸鱼。修饰动词affect应用副词constantly，作状语。故填constantly。

本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了鲸鱼长期以来面临灭绝的主要原因，以及国际组织对这一问题的重视。

本文属于提纲作文，动笔前，一定要认真分析要点，理解要点要表达的含义，不能遗漏要点，跑题偏题．平时除了加强词汇积累，写作联系以外，还可以适当记忆一些类似的范文，这样在考试中可以起到事半功倍的效果．
高分句型一：I'd like to tell you that the International Student Center in our school will hold an annual holiday party in the school sports center this Saturday，whose theme is"fun"．我想告诉你，我们学校的国际学生中心将于本星期六在学校体育中心举办一年一度的假日聚会，主题是"有趣"．本句是一个定语从句，先行词是party，在定语从句中做定语，所以用whose来引导．
高分句型二：Secondly，there will be a student concert where we can really entertain and relax ourselves．第二，将有一场学生音乐会，我们可以真正娱乐和放松自己．本句是一个定语从句，先行词是concet，正在定语从句中做状语，所以用where来引导．

Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny's speech first.Overwhelmed with excitement，Jenny confidently made her way to the platform，words flooding out of her fluently.Never before in her life had she delivered such a terrific speech.  【高分句型一】Praises spread around the classroom and even Miss Walker nodded with approval.Feeling incredibly refreshed，Jenny finished her speech，which was greeted with thunderous applause.Relieved，Jenny exposed the truth and especially the magic of the watch.

解题方法点拨
       （1）品读原文，确定文章线索
       每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路，通过精读文章，找到该篇文章的写作线索。如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等这样有利于考生"顺藤摸瓜（结尾）"。
       （2）仔细审题，明确续写要求
       一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此类短文续写的具体要求，如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示，这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。
       （3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路
       根据文章后面的要求，再次快速阅读短文，抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
       （4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句
       在确定了思路和内容之后。最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
