Millions of tons of electronic waste, known as e-waste, are produced every year. In 2016, the world's population made 49 million tons of electronic waste. It has been calculated that there will be more than 60 million tons by 2021. The amount of electronic waste is growing so rapidly that it has I become a global problem that needs to be addressed.
What is causing the upsurge(激增)in e-waste Technology is becoming more and more widespread, covering almost every aspect of our lives. Meanwhile, the lifespan of devices is getting shorter-many products will be thrown away once their batteries(电池)die, to be replaced by new panies update the design or software so quickly and it is usually cheaper and easier to buy a new product than to repair an old one. Since e prices are falling, electronic devices are in demand around the world.
As more people buy electronic e equipment, manufacturers(制造商)are beginning to face shortages of the raw materials needed to make their products, so recycling and reusing materials from discarded(废弃的)products and waste e makes economic and environmental sense. Recycling e-waste is practiced both formally and informally. Formal e-waste recycling usually involves taking apart the electronics, separating and sorting through the materials and cleaning panies must obey health and safety rules to reduce the health and environmental harm of handling e-waste by using pollution-control technologies. All this makes formal recycling expensive.
With the amount of e-waste s growing around the world, recycling alone will not be enough to handle the problem. In order to reduce e-waste, manufacturers need to design electronics that are safer, more durable(耐用的)and repairable. As a customer, you'd better get our old product repaired if possible and buy a new device only when you really need it.
1. The underlined word "addressed" in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by ________.
A. reduced
B. changed
C. controlled
D. solved
2. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The problems caused by the upsurge in e-waste.
B. The reasons for e-waste's sharp increasing
C. The bad effects of updating devices.
D. The causes of devices' price dropping.
3. What makes recycling e-waste meaningful according to the text
A. Improving the quality of e-devices.
B. Lowering the costs of technology innovation.
C. Relieving companies' lacking raw materials.
D. Increasing the variety of electronic products.
4. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph
A. Recycling is the only way to reduce e-waste.
B. Companies should be mainly responsible for reducing e-waste.
C. Repairing a device is better than buying a new one.
D. Everyone should take action to reduce e-waste.

A severe drought(干旱)has caused water levels in Southeast Asia's Mekong River to drop to their lowest in more than 100 years. It may have harmful effects on fish, as well as the tens of millions of people living and working along the river, experts warn.
This year, the dry conditions in t the Mekong region happened due to warm Pacific Ocean c currents (洋流)known as the El Nino. But climate change is also a driving factor, experts say, causing the monsoon(季风)season to s shorten sharply. The situation was made worse by water dam operators upstream, with holding water for their own purposes.
Many rice farmers in the area have been unable to plant their main crop, raising fears of a heavily decreased harvest this fall. Less water flow could also have a bad influence on fish reproduction in the Mekong River basin. This is normally the time when fish use rising water levels to reproduce their young, but there is little sign of this happening so far this year.
Perhaps what is more alarming is that experts expect that droughts and damage to the water flow of the Mekong River will become more common, and they warn that it could eventually destroy the entire ecosystem.
Starting from the Tibetan highlands, the Mekong River flows through six Asian countries, including China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, before emptying into the South China Sea. The river basin is home to the largest inland fishery in the world and more than 60 million people depend on it to make a living.
Few rivers in the world rise and fall with the seasons as much as the Mekong River, which can drop up to 40 feet in some places at the end of the dry season. When the monsoon rains arrive, they normally produce a flood that carries its sediment(沉积物)to agriculture as well as enormous amounts of larvae(幼虫)and tiny fish, including many endangered species, such as the Mekong giant catfish, that are swept into the Tonle Sap where they can grow.
5. How many reasons are t there for the drought of the Mekong River this year
A. One.
B. Two.
C. Three.
D. Four.
6. What can we know from the passage
A. Droughts are likely to happen more frequently in the future.
B. The water levels of the Mekong River are becoming lower and lower.
C. The Mekong River s starts from the Tibetan highlands and ends in the Tonle Sap.
D. The harvest of fish in the Mekong River hasn't been greatly affected because of the droughts.
7. What's the attitude of experts to the water flow of the Mekong River in the future
A. Positive.
B. Unconcerned.
C. Worried.
D. Negative.
8. In which magazine can we most probably find this passage
A. National Geography.
B. Scientific American.
C. Overseas English.
D. Tourism.

二、语法填空
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了苏格兰的一家公司制作出了一种环保砖——K-Brig,该新型砖头以建筑废料为原料,有效降低了制砖过程中的碳排放,为节能减排提供了一种新的可能。
1.are surrounded考查时态及语态。句意:尽管我们每天都被数以百万计的砖包围着,但我们大多数人并不经常去想它们。根据时间状语every day可知,本空应用一般现在时;且we和动词surround之间为被动关系,故本空应用一般现在时的被动语态。
2.natural考查形容词。句意:它们是用天然材料制成的,但生产砖的每一步都存在问题。本空修饰名词materials,故应用形容词natural,意为“天然的”。
3.which/that考查定语从句。句意:砖是由黏土制成的,黏土是世界各地都能找到的一种土壤。本空引导定语从句,修饰先行词s0l,本空在定语从句中作主语,指物,故应用关系代词which或that。

6.made考查过去分词。句意:一旦制成,砖块就必须运到建筑工地,产生更多的碳排放。本空在句中作状语,句子主语bricks和动词make之间为被动关系,故本空应用过去分词作状语。
7.globally考查副词。句意:由于全球生产了如此多的砖块,它们的影响积少成多。本空修饰过去分词produced,故应用副词globally。
8.to find考查不定式。句意:苏格兰赫瑞-瓦特大学教授Gabriela Medero决定寻找解决方案。decide to do sth.意为“决定做某事”,故本空应用不定式作宾语。
9.tenth考查序数词。句意:K-Brig由90%以上的建筑垃圾制成,其碳排放不到传统砖的十分之一。根据句意可知,a 9 (ten)表示“十分之一”,故本空应用序数词形式。
10.a考查冠词。句意:Medero希望她的砖将有助于建立一个更加可持续的世界。空后名词wold为可数名词,根据句意可知,本空应用不定冠词a。
