(2019年广东省中山市第一中学高三上学期第二次统测)

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 anti­smoking 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 non­agricultural 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.

“We haven't found anything that we can't recycle，”communications director of TerraCycle，Albe Zakes，said. “But with the amount and variety of packaging and litter in the world，we are always looking for new waste streams to address. ”

1．What does TerraCycle intend to do?

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.

2．The underlined word “trash” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________．

A．rubbish       B．poison

C．disaster       D．ruin

3．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

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.

4．What Albe said in the last paragraph implies that ________.

A．there is more and more waste to be recycled

B．it is difficult for TerraCycle to recycle everything

C．TerraCycle is trying to meet the challenge of new waste

D．TerraCycle has successfully recycled a large amount of waste

答案与解析

这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述新泽西一个公司回收人们认为是不可回收的东西，例如烟头，并讲述了其回收利用过程，该公司表示他们还没有遇到不可回收的东西，并会继续迎接回收新垃圾的挑战。

1．D　细节理解题。根据第一段的Its aim is to recycle things that people normally consider impossible to reuse可知，TerraCycle的目的是要回收那些被人们认为不可再回收利用的东西，故选D。

2．A　词义猜测题。根据该词后的 Since most of our litter eventually ends up in waterways，cigarette ends can surely pollute the surrounding environment. 可推测出，此处trash指的是垃圾的意思。故选A。

3．B　段落大意题。根据第三段的首句So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful？(那么你怎么把这些垃圾变得有用呢？)可知，此段讲的是烟头回收利用的过程，故选B。

4．C　推理判断题。根据Albe说的话“But with the amount and variety of packaging and litter in the world，we are always looking for new waste streams to address.”可知，TerraCycle公司正试图寻找新垃圾来处理，也就是面对新垃圾的挑战。故选C。

B

Persuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks，there are three basic tools of persuasion：ethos，pathos，and logos.

Ethos is a speaker's way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy，honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all，you're more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trust you，you will not be able to persuade them.

Pathos is a speaker's way of connecting with an audience's emotions. For example，a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear，thus making them support him. Similarly，an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats，to make the viewers feel pity. If the audience feels bad for the animals，they will be more likely to donate money.

Logos is the use of facts，statistics，or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying “believe me”．

Although ethos，pathos，and logos all have their strengths，they are often most effective when used together. Indeed，most speakers use a combination of ethos，pathos，and logos to persuade their audiences. So，the next time you listen to a speech，watch a commercial，or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money，be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.

5．Why does the author say persuasion is an art?

A．They both entertain the audience.

B．They both require great skills to achieve.

C．They both demand full attention from the audience.

D．They were both common topics of ancient Greek writers.

6．How is a speaker able to show her ethos to the audience?

A．By expressing her sympathy with the audience.

B．By telling the audience about her personal preference.

C．By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive.

D．By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic.

7．What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion?

A．Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion.

B．Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.

C．Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.

D．Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.

8．An advertisement for washing powder which claims that “scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria” is mainly using ________．

A．ethos      B．pathos

C．logos      D．a combination of all three

答案与解析

本文叙述的是“说服”是使某人信服你的艺术。根据古希腊人的说法，有三种基本的说服方法ethos, pathos, and logos，通常需要这三者结合才可以发挥最大的效果。

5．B　细节理解题。根据第一段第二句According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion: ethos, pathos, and logos.和最后一段第一句Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together.可知，persuasion是需要三者结合才可以发挥最大的效果，也就是“说服”需要巨大的技巧才能达到，故选B。

6．D　细节理解题。根据文章第二段One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field.可知，Ethos是通过解释在某一领域所获得过的教育和所积累的经验，因此选D。

7．B　推理判断题。文章没有提到ethos是最重要的方面，而是说三个点都很重要，需要结合在一起，所以排除A选项；C项文中没有提到诚实是说服别人相信你的论点的关键。D项政治领袖大多用Pathos来说服听众错误，因此选B。

8．C　推理判断题。根据第四段第一句Logos is the use of facts, statistics, or other evidence to support your argument.可知，Logos是用事实、数据或其他证据来证明观点，故与95% of all bacteria相符，故选C。

Taking parts in recreation activities help us keep fit. There are different kinds of activity in our daily life, for example, listening to music, watching TV, playing chess, or going to cinema. But I think we'd better to have more outdoor activities. As students, we usually sit too longer in the classroom, and as a result our eyes and brains getting tired.
