18、y citizens are still confused about the classification of the four different types of trash. Thankfully, authorities have released an official guideline to clarify the new rules. The guideline, published by the Shanghai Greenery and Public Sanitation Bureau, provides a rather clear definition on the
19、 four kinds of waste: recyclable waste, hazardous(有害的)waste, household food waste and residual (剩余的)waste. Hazardous waste, as the name suggests, includes assorted poisonous materials like used batteries, light bulbs, out-of-date medicines, paint and pesticides. Household food waste, which is transl
20、ated to “wet trash“ in Chinese, refers to food leftovers, rotten food, pet food, fruit peels, remains of TCM herbs(中药)and flowers. 第 - 5 - 页 共 19 页 - 5 - Paper, plastic, glass, metal and textiles(纺织品)are counted as recyclable waste. The definition of residual waste is a little confusing. Anything th
21、at is not listed above belongs in this category. As specific as the new guideline is, residents still have a hard time sorting trash correctly and are finding it challenging to memorize them all. For instance, both plastic bottles and bubble tea or coffee cups are plastic materials. However, the for
22、mer falls to the category of recyclable waste and the latter belongs to residual waste. To save the hassle, some netizens have come up with their own ways to sort trash. “We should do this from a pigs angle,“ commented one netizen. “Those edible(可食用的)for pigs are household food waste. Those even pig
23、s dont want to eat are residual waste. If a pig consumes something and dies of it, then something must be hazardous waste.

Timothy Paul and Nicole Lindsey started the non-profit last year, focused on improving the Motor Citys “left behind“ commu
27、nities and educating people on bees. 第 - 6 - 页 共 19 页 - 6 - Timothy got interested in honey and honeybees because of a cough he couldnt shake. He was sick for months, until a store owner in nearby Ferndale recommended he try some local honey. Soon Timothys cough was gone. And he and Nicole found tha
28、t abandoned urban sites often became illegal dumping grounds, contributing to an overgrowth of allergens(过敬原)-not to mention the mess. The couple began to think about how to settle that issue by producing local honey on vacant sites, and Detroit Hives was born. To become certified beekeepers, Timoth
29、y and Nicole took two courses. They bought their first vacant lot for $340, with the aid of the Detroit Land Bank Authority community partnership program. From there, they built three hives and vegetable garden plots. Thousands of bees now buzz(嗡嗡)on the lot. “The neighbors say they wish we were the
30、re decades of years ago. That area had always been a place where people dumped garbage, so when we came here, we gave that area a sense of purpose. The neighbors keep an eye on the area to make sure that people dont dump any more,“ Lindsey said. Currently, Detroit Hives has partnered with local Detr
31、oit Soup and a homeless shelter to provide local, raw honey and they also sell their sweet product. In addition, Detroit Hives spreads awareness about bees through public tours of the farm.

D As they reach school age, about 90 percent of children will have experienced a condition in 第 - 7 - 页 共 19 页 - 7 - which fluid(液体)fills the middle ear, muffling(使模糊)sound and
35、 sometimes causing infection. The fluid usually clears on its own, but if not, it can lead to a painful ear infection called acute otitis(中耳 炎)media. In some cases the fluid can persist for more than a year, causing hearing loss during this period, and slowing down their development of language and
36、social skills. Diagnosis usually requires a visit to a specialist-but researchers have now developed an app that detects this fluid just as accurately, with only a smartphone and a paper funnel(漏斗). Doctors typically detect the problem by peering into the ear for a visual assessment. Yet, this metho
37、d has only a 50 percent accuracy rate. “Right now, if you bring your child to a pediatrician, or to any urgent care family doctor, the way they look at whether or not theres fluid in the middle ear is by looking at the eardrum,“ says Sharat Raju, a surgeon in the department of head and neck surgery
38、at the University of Washington. For a cheaper and more accessible alternative, researchers at the University of Washington turned to smartphones. First the user follows a template to cut and tape a piece of paper into a funnel, which can be placed between a smartphone and the patients ear. Next the
39、 app plays a chirping sound through the phones speaker; the sound waves bounce off the eardrum and hit the phones microphone, where they register and are analyzed by the app. An eardrum with fluid behind it will vibrate(振动)differently than if the middle ear is full of air, as it normally is. To deve
40、lop the app, the researchers first played chirps for patients with and without fluid in their ears. They recorded the echoes(回音), which indicate the eardrums mobility. Then they used a machine learning model to classify the returning sound waves, determining which audio characteristics indicated a n
41、ormal ear and which suggested the presence of fluid. Once they tested the app on 98 children, ranging from 18 months to 17 years old, at Seattle Childrens Hospital. It correctly detected fluid in 85 percent of cases, and correctly identified fluid-free ears in 82 percent. The researchers are current
42、ly trying to get FDA approval for the app, and have founded a company to commercialize it. They hope to make it available by the end of the year, to help parents track childrens ear health at home. 32. What do we know about the fluid from the fast paragraph? A. It is mostly part of childrens growth.
43、 B. It is unavoidable for any child. C. It is a permanent physical condition. D. It is beyond any medical means. 第 - 8 - 页 共 19 页 - 8 - 33.

44、 mainly about? A. The application of the app. B. The causes of the kids ear problem. C. The purpose of developing the app. D. The experiment of the smartphone. 35. What do the researchers expect of the app? A. It will upgrade the medical technology. B. It will hit the market in the near future. C. I

It will save doctors medical operations. 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分， 满分 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 What does it mean to be intelligent? It seems that everyone goes to college now, whether or not they find themselves interested in Studying
46、 something long term. Even though I know there are different ways to be intelligent, I struggle due to societys influence, which maintains that intelligence is quantifiable(可量化的)and that academic intelligence is one and the only. Where do IQ tests come into play when one considers intelligence? Do t
47、hey fall closest to priority when considering this unquantifiable concept? Intellligence simply cannot be reduced to an IQ test, which are not effective. While designed to measure “intelligence,“ all they measure are biological developments that can change as one grows. 36 There are many factors tha
48、t can indicate an intelligent being, such as academic intelligence, emotional intelligence, and worldly intelligence. For instance, if a student realizes that they havent studied appropriately for an exam, he or she would have the ability to acknowledge that, and then make revisions to his or her st
49、udy habits accordingly. 37 Emotional intelligence is the intelligence that fosters self-awareness, self-reflection, and self-improvement. 38 We cannot function without forming relationships and communication. This proves that being aware of oneself and reflecting in order to further better communication skills is an evidence to intelligence. Where would you be if you were a terrible communicator, unaware,
