二、 完形填空（共10小题，每题1.5分，共15分）
I live in Missouri, near a river called the Jacks Fork. Before I was born, my grandparents decided to help keep the    21    clean. So they started a club called Stream Team 713. I like its another  22    better — the Jacks Fork River Rats! Our club makes sure the water is clean and healthy for fish and people. And now I’m big enough to help    23    the river too.
Picking up rubbish is    24    a treasure hunt (搜寻). My friends and I find plastic bags, bottles, paper, and all kinds of things. There used to be even more rubbish here. On one weekend, my grandparents    25   picked up 6 tons of rubbish. That’s as much as an elephant weighs!
That rubbish was    26    to the river or the animals and plants that lived there. So the River Rats taught people who were playing around the river to take rubbish with them rather than   27    it. Now there’s much less rubbish for    28    to pick up. Maybe one day we won’t find any rubbish here.
My favorite job is to look for water bugs (虫子)! The bugs like to stay at the river bottom. Some bugs don’t    29    how dirty the water is, but other bugs can only live in clean water.    30    we find lots of bugs that need clean water, then we will know the river is clean enough for fish and for us.
I love taking care of the Jacks Fork River. We help make sure it’s a clean, safe place for me and my friends to play.
(    ) 21. A. state            B. club          C. block             D. river

I used to be shy and my first day at the new school made me look stupid in front of the class. The teacher sent me to the blackboard to write my name and address. I knew my name and address, knew how to write them, knew how to spell them, but standing at the blackboard with the eyes of the many girls and boys looking at me made me nervous. I was unable to write a single letter.
“Write your name,” the teacher said to me. I lifted the white chalk to the blackboard and, as I was about to write my name, my mind went empty. I could not remember my name, not even the first letter. “Just forget about us and write your name and address,” said the teacher. I wanted to write but my hand refused to move. The children began to whisper (低语). “Don’t you know your name?” asked the teacher. I looked at her and could not answer. The teacher stood up and walked to my side, smiling at me to give me confidence (自信). She put her hand softly on my shoulder and asked, “What’s your name?”
“Richard Wright,” I whispered. I spelled my name very quickly.
“Now, can you write?”
“Yes, madam.”
Again, I turned to the blackboard. I wrote my name and address down quickly and correctly. “Good boy. You may go to your seat,” said the teacher.
Today I can still remember my teacher’s words and encouragement. They meant a lot to me.

You probably see a lot of things made of plastic, like bottles and bags, every day. What happens when that plastic gets thrown away? Scientists say much of it ends up in oceans and causes problems for creatures (生物) like fish and birds.
“Plastic puts ocean creatures in danger,” says Allison Schutes of the Ocean Conservancy. That's a group that works to protect the world's oceans.
A recent study shows that each minute, enough plastic reaches the ocean to fill up one garbage truck! That same study predicts that by the year 2050, our oceans will have more plastic than fish.
All that plastic is bad news for ocean life. Some ocean creatures die when they get tangled (使缠结) in pieces of plastic. Others accidentally eat it and die, too.
Most scientists say taking out all the plastic that's already in the ocean would be impossible. Instead, they say the best way is to prevent more plastic from getting there.
Many groups are already taking action. They organize cleanups on beaches to pick up litter before it reaches the ocean.   ▲  , volunteers from the Ocean Conservancy collected more than 16 million pounds of it last year!
Experts also encourage people to use less plastic. Many cities and towns in America have banned plastic shopping bags. Experts also suggest that people drink out of reusable bottles and try reusable shopping bags.
“These seem like small things,” says Schutes, “but they can help make a big difference.”
(    )36. It is predicted that in about 35 years, there will be ______.
A. no fish in the oceans
B. no plastic on the beaches
C. more plastic than fish in the oceans
D. more reusable shopping bags than plastic ones
(    )37. How many examples are given to show plastic is dangerous to ocean creatures?
A. One.               
B. Two.       
C. Three.              
D. Four.
(    )38. Which of the following can be put in    ▲   ?
A. At first.           
B. All in all.
C. To be honest.   
D. For example.
(    )39. What does the underlined word “banned” mean in Chinese?
A. 生产                     
B. 发明       
C. 销售                     
D. 禁止
(    )40. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. A sea of plastic
B. Litter in towns and cities
C. Ocean creatures in danger
D. A group that protects oceans

For many years, thousands of people went to the Arctic (北极) in summer, but in winter few people went there. In the winter of 1990, the French artist Jannot Derit was invited to have the opening of his exhibition in a building in the little village of Jukkasjarvi. The building, named the Arctic Hall, was made of snow. Many visitors went there. One night a group of visitors decided to sleep in the Arctic Hall. The following morning the brave group was very pleased with their experience and the idea of an ice hotel was born. Today the ICEHOTEL is world-famous.

No matter how cold it may be outside, the temperature inside the hotel is never colder than －5 ℃ to －8 ℃. Winter outer (外边的) clothes are included in the cost of visitors' stay at the hotel.
