The feeling for most interviewees after they threw boxes can be described asA.indifferentB.considerateC.regretfulD.disappointed30. The successful example is mentioned in order toA. call on consumers to return glass bottles.B. show the reuse of glass bottle is very popular.C. recommend a standard model to courier companies to follow.D. ask all companies to handle waste with this method.31. This passage mainly talks aboutA.how to deal with package boxes.B.how to package the goodsC.the cause of package wasteD.the lack of garbage sorting systems in China.D“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before,” says Patsy Rowe, “Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达).” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don’t w ake up each morningand greet the singing birds with a complaint about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.Some people prefer to do almost everything over the internet. To them, dealing withan actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don’t work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that everynew message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous（匿名的）rude messages by email.However, rudeness is never acceptable. Don’t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you’re in touch with won’t recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a lett er or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and annoying.We shouldn’t blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is admitting our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we’d publi cly recognize good manners when we see them.32. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?A. People can tell good from bad behavior.B. Radar is able to observe human behavior.C. People care little about their behavior.D. Radar can be used t o predict human behavior.33. Some people are less willing to deal with humans because________.A. they are becoming less patientB. they are growing too independentC. they have to handle many important messagesD. they have to follow an evolutionary step backward.34. The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is ________.A. ridiculousB. hatefulC. acceptableD. reasonable35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. We should praise good behavior.B. Technology can never be blamed.C. We should keep pointing out mistakes.D. Technology will take over our lives one day.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）“Smart”IdiomsToday we take a look at the word “smart”. If someone says you ar e smart, what do they mean? Is it a good thing or something bad? 36 This is because the word smart has many meanings.That smarts!For example, someone could say you look smart or are dressed smartly. That means they like what you are we aring and your physical appearance. To use a slang expression, they could say, “You look reall y cool!” But if something smarts, it can be unkind or hurtful, either physically or mentally. If you accidentally trip over a chair and fall down, youmight shout, “Ow! That smarts!” Or if a friend says something that hurts your feelings, you can say you are smarting from the hurtful comments. 37●SmartingIf you are standing too close to a campfire, you could say your eyes are smarting from the smoke of the fire. He re the word “smarting” means a sharp pain. 38 If someone is smart as whip, they are able to think very quickly.●Street smart and book smart39 Some people are considered street smart. They may not have a strong education. But they are good at dealing with people and problems in the real world. Other people might be book smart. This means they have spent many years in school. But they may not be so smart when dealing with people or real-world problems.●Don’t get smart with me!And then there is the definition of smart that means to talk or behave disrespectfully. If you say something disrespectful to your parents, they might say, “Don’t get smart with me!” Here, “smart” means to show a lack of respect by saying something unkind. In fact, a child who has a smart mouth makes rude comments, not smart ones. This definition of smart can also be used as a verb. 40A.Do they really mean you are smart?B.People have different attitude toward being smartC.However, different people have different ways of being smart.D.In fact, maybe that person is no longer you friend.E.The answer is not as easy as you might think.F.But the most common meaning of smart is to be intelligent.G.If you smart off to the wrong people, they could hit you in the face.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）“I have to keep my han d from shaking,” thought Mark as he 41 the baseball card.
