But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source（来源）of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight,they cannot be recycled. Every straw that’s part of Von Wong’s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate（说明） a specific statistic:Every 60 seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped（倾倒） from a truck all at once.Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.What are Von Wong’s artworks intended for A. Beautifying the city he lives in. B. Introducing eco-friendly products.C. Drawing public attention to plastic waste. D. Reducing garbage on the beach.Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3 To show the difficulty of their recycling.To explain why they are useful.To voice his views on modern art.To find a substitute for them.What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers A. Calming. B. Disturbing. C. Refreshing. D. Challenging.Which of the following can be the best title for the text Artists’ Opinions on Plastic SafetyMedia Interest in Contemporary ArtResponsibility Demanded of Big CompaniesOcean Plastics Transformed into SculpturesDAccording to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China’s digital economy has increased by 15.9 percent annually since 2012, reaching 45.5 trillionyuan ($6.32 trillion) last year. Facing the growing digital economy and new vacancies developed in the sector such as deliverymen and livestreaming anchors(主播), young people, especially those born after 2000, are expressing a stronger willingness forflexible work relations with companies, and also wish to become “digital workers” with flexible work locations and schedules.“The Internet helps me a lot. I check emails from my clients and submit my proposals through WeChat, then we discuss plans via teleconference. I love working from home actually,” said Mi Lu, a 28-year-old new media operator in Beijing. “We work everywhere, perhaps in a cafe, or on a bullet train or even on the table of a restaurant.”To cater to young people’s work preferences, more companies have begun to include “flexible working mode” in their recruitment advertisements. Zhaopin, a website, said vacancies with flexible work available make up 15 to 20 percent of total vacancies on its platform, especially for industries in the growing gig economy such astransportation and logistics( 物流). According to Zhaopin, the proportion of flexiblevacancies in these industries has increased to 25 percent this year, up from 10 percent in 2018.However, the flexibility may bring risks to workers’ rights protection, according to Zhaopin. It said that though roughly 60 percent of companies posting vacancies on its platform offer insurance, the proportion is decreasing.Li Qiang, vice-president of Zhaopin, said that the greatest risk to those seeking flexible work is whether the company pays the salary fully and on time. “It’s necessary for job seekers to set up a long-term development plan, rather than be shortsighted.” He added that companies may bear risks that flexible employees can’t deliver high-quality work in a limited time period, which requires the companies to establish a sound work delivery standard to help evaluate employee performance.What factor contributes to flexible work A. The booming digital economy. B. The desire for more free time.C. The disappearance of some positions. D. The improvement of working conditions.How do companies react to young people’s work preference A. They ignore the youth’s requests. B. They follow the old working mode.C. They provide positions accordingly. D. They reduce working opportunities.What suggestions did Li Qiang give The companies pay higher salary.The job seekers make a detailed plan.The companies make reasonable rules.The job seekers apply for positions on time.What is the best title for the text A. A new internet-related working model B. Job seekers more keen on flexible workC. The rapidly developing digital economy D. Companies well prepared for new risks第二节、阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选 项中有两项为多余选项。（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）How to Become a More Social PersonSocializing is generally considered a pleasant and leisurely activity. 36 Here are some ways to help you become a more social person over all.Smile.

After I left junior high as a straight-A student, it felt strange starting over as a freshman. And to make matters worse, my closest friend went to a different high school. I felt very isolated.[2] I missed my old teachers so much that I would go back and visit them. They would encourage me to get involved in school activities so that I could meet new people.They told me that in time I would adjust and probably end up loving my new school more than I had loved my old one.[3] One Sunday afternoon not long after I had started high school, I was sitting at home doing homework. It was a cold and windy fall day, and we had a fire going in our fireplace. My mother kept stoking the fire to keep the house nice and warm. Suddenly, Ismelled something strange, and then I noticed smoke pouring in through the seams (接缝处) of the ceiling. The smoke began to fill the room so quickly that we could barely see anything. Feeling about our way to the front door, we managed to get into the front yard. By the time we made our way outside, the whole roof was engulfed (吞没) in flames and it was spreading quickly. I ran to the neighbors to call the fire department.[4] Five hours later, the fire was finally out. Our house was almost completely burned down. Everything was gone in the smoke. The firemen wouldn’t let us go back into the house that night. It was still too dangerous. We piled into the car with just the clothes on our backs, and made our way to my grandparents’ house to spend the night.[5] On Monday, I went to school. When the fire broke out, I was wearing pajamas (睡衣), and I had no shoes! I had kicked them off when I was doing my homework. “Why I have to be here!” I cried inside, head hung low.注意：1.续写词数应为 150 左右；2.请按下列格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1:I was totally embarrassed by everything.Paragraph 2:The next day, when entering the classroom, I was shocked.英语试题答案一、听力（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）1—5 BABCC 6—10 ABACB 11—15 CACAB 16—20 BACCA二．阅读理解A【答案】21.

C 29. A 30. C 31. D【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了艺术家 Benjamin Von Wong 用塑料垃圾 制作了一个巨大的雕塑作品，让人们通过这个雕塑重新审视自己与一次性塑料制品 的关系。此外他在 2018 的一件作品“Truckload of Plastic”说明了每 60 秒，就有一 卡车塑料进入海洋。Von Wong 通过用塑料垃圾制造巨型雕塑来唤醒和提高人们的 环保意识。【28 题】推理判断题。根据第一段“But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship tosingle-use plastic products.(但一根塑料吸管或一个塑料杯真的有什么区别吗？艺术家本杰明·冯·王（Benjamin Von Wong）想让你知道，它确实如此。他用塑料垃圾建 造巨大的雕塑，迫使观众重新审视他们与一次性塑料产品的关系。)”可知，Von Wong 用塑料垃圾制作的雕塑想让人们重新审视与一次性塑料制品的关系，由此可知他做 这个雕塑的目的是为了引起公众对塑料垃圾的关注。故选 C 项。【29 题】推理判断题。根据第三段“Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source(来源) of plastic pollution, but they ve recently come under fire because most people don t need them to drink with and, because of theirsmall size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that s part of Von Wong s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.(全球只有 9%的塑料垃圾被回收。塑料吸管绝不是最大的塑料污染源，但它们最近却受到了抨击，因为大多数人 不需要吸管喝饮料，而且由于它们体积小、重量轻，无法回收利用。冯·王作品中的 每一根吸管都很可能来自只喝了几分钟的饮料。一旦饮料消失了，吸管也要几个世纪才能消失。)”可知，吸管由于体积小，重量轻，无法回收利用，由此可推知，作 者在第三段讨论吸管是为了展示它们回收的困难。故选 A 项。【30 题】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In a piece form 2018, Von Wong wanted toillustrate(说明) a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload s worth of plastic enters the ocean.

G 考查段落的总分关系。前文提到通过问一些问题来表达对对方的兴趣。空处 位于段尾，应总结上文所述。分析选项可知，G 项（他们会表明你想要畅所欲 言并正等着人们跟你交谈。）符合该处语境，选项中的 They 指代的是前文列出 的那些问题。故选 G。四．完形填空【答案】41-45. CABCD 46-50. CBDBD 51-55.

I was good at lots of science subjects, including Physics and Maths, but I also loved entertaining people and I was good at Art. In the end, I went to a film school where I studied lighting, special effects, how to use a camera... all that! It was there that I started to think about working in the video game industry.People also ask me what I like best about being a video game writer. Well, the money is good and it s quite exciting.
