This trend is called “fast fashion,” and it is harmful to the environment in ways that most people may not realize. According to the United Nations, the fast-fashion industry is the second-largest water consumer in the world. To make one cotton shirt requires 2,700 liters of w ater. That’s how much an average person drinks in two and a half years! The fast -fashion industry not only wastes but also pollutes water, since it uses toxic chemicals for the colors and designs on its clothes. These chemicals end up in our clean water when chemical-filled water is left untreated and dumped by factories into our rivers and oceans. The environmental damage doesn’t stop there. Artificial fabrics, often used in fast fashion because they’re cheap, tend to shed fibers when washed in a washing machine. The fibers make their way to the oceans, where they’re eaten by fish and, in turn, by us. Furthermore, with more clothes available at cheaper prices, consumers tend to buy new clothes and throw away old ones more often than ever. In fact, 21 bill ion tons of clothes are sent to landfills every year! It’s difficult to resist buying new clothes, especially when they ’re cheap. But before you go to the stores next time to take advantage of a sale, think about fast fashion’s impact on the environment. ( )(1) How long does it take for an average person to drink up 5,000 liters of water? (A) Two and a half years. (B) Less than four years. (C) More than four years. (D) No more than three years. ( )(2) Based on the article, how can artificial fibers become harmful? (A) The toxic chemicals they carry come into people’s bodies. (B) The shed fibers pollute rivers. (C) The shed fibers damage washing machines. (D) The shed fibers are consumed by people. 1. ( ( 2. )(3) Which of the following is the writer ’s point of view about fast fashion? (A) Think twice before following fashion trends. (B) Fast fashion leads to the growth of the economy. (C) A smart shopper should keep in mind that less is more. (D) Speaking of fashion, customers are always right. )(4) Which of the following can be the best title of the article? (A) Fast Fashion: A Quick-Fix Solution for a Clean Environment (B) The Tug of War Between Fashion and the Environment (C) Low Prices Are the Best Policy (D) The Rise of Fast Fashion People disagree about climate change. Some say it’s real, while others believe it’s made up. Let’s look at both sides of the argument. Those who think climate change is happening argue that the last twenty years of the 20th century saw some of the highest temperatures in recent centuries. Furthermore, rising temperatures in the air and water have caused Arctic sea ice to melt, which leads to the rise of sea levels, and coral reefs die at a faster pace. According to climate -change believers, human activity, such as industrial production and rain-forest destruction, has caused carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere to rise over the last century. CO2 traps heat in the air, leading to higher temperatures on Earth. People who deny that climate change is real say the Earth ’s climate has always warmed and cooled. They think that the rise in temperatures during the 20th century is normal if we consider it within the context of the past 3,000 years. According to them, a large amount of CO2 is already in the Earth’s atmosphere, so more CO2 will have little effect on climate. Lastly, they claim that further studies are needed to understand climate, which is very complex. Whether or not we believe the Earth’s temperature is actually rising, it seems like a safer bet to assume that climate change is real. Otherwise, by the time we’re able to find additional proof of the existence of climate change, it may already be too late. ( ( ( ( )(1) Which of the following can be the best title of the article? (A) The Debate about Climate Change (B) The Long-term Impact of Climate Change (C) The Hidden Facts Behind Climate Change (D) Climate Change and Global Warming )(2) For the climate-change believers, which is NOT among the things that the rise of global temperatures results in? (A) The quick death of coral reefs. (B) The rise of sea levels. (C) The fast melting of Arctic sea ice. (D) More CO2 trapped in the atmosphere. )(3) What does the rise and fall of global temperatures mean to those who deny climate change? (A) A wake-up call. (B) A major killer of many creatures. (C) A natural phenomenon. (D) A hot potato to deal with. )(4) Based on the article, what does the writer think about climate change? (A) He sees climate change as nonsense. (B) He thinks climate change is a false alarm. (C) He tends to think climate change is certain. (D) He shows little concern for climate change. 十二、混合題(素養題)(1 小題,每題 0 分,共 0 分) 1. Every creature in the world needs energy to live. Plants depend on soil, water, and the sun, while animals consume plants or other animals to stay alive. The balanced situation in which all living things live together is called an ecosystem. We may describe the relationships among them as a food chain. Food Chain A food chain shows which creatures eat which other ones. It begins with a plant and ends with fungus or bacteria that eat an animal or a plant after it dies. Roles in a Food Chain The following are three key roles in a food chain. They express the functions each creature has in an ecosystem. ˙Producers: Plants are producers because they produce energy for the ecosystem by absorbing energy from sunlight. They also need water and nutrients from the soil. ˙Consumers: Animals are consumers because they eat other living things. Primary consumers are the animals that eat plants. Animals eating other animals are secondary consumers. A tertiary consumer takes a higher level in the food chain. Some animals play different roles, eating both plants and animals. ˙Decomposers: Decomposers eat dead plants and animals. They h elp put nutrients back into the soil for plants to eat. Decomposers include worms, bacteria, and fungi. (1) Choose the correct food chain. (A) plant→sheep→fungus (B) secondary consumer→ primary consumer→producer (C) lion→worm→grasshopper (D) decomposer→ tertiary consumer→secondary consumer (2) Why is a food chain necessary in an ecosystem? (A) To prove the strength of decomposers. (B) To trace the movement of animals. (C) To maintain a balance among creatures. (D) To save more lives on earth. Fill in the blanks in the food chain using the words or images below. (3) ico n ②_____ _ role ①_________ primary consume ③_________ r (A) fungus (B) secondary consumer (C) decomposer (D) producer (E) (F) 十三、篇章結構(1 小題,每題 0 分,共 0 分) 1. (A) If it gets into the soil or the water supply, it could be extremely damaging to humans and animals. (B) Thus, he threw away his old television and his remote control with me still inside, as I no longer had any use. (C) Throughout most of my life, I served as a useful item to that man, who placed me inside his TV remote control when I was still a baby. (D) Although this substance enables me to give life to certain objects, it is also harmful to humans and animals. I have a riddle * for you: I give life to objects that have none, but I also have the power to take life away. What am I? Okay, I’ll tell you: I’m a battery. A long time ago, a man bought me from a store.

However, one day, my owner decided to buy a new television. __②__ It seems he didn’t realize that inside me is a substance called lithium * . __ ③__ The next morning, I was carried away in a large truck and taken to a large pile of waste outside the city.
