第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分）Early excitement about the next generation of the iPhone is building months ahead of an expected autumn debut(问世). Analysts expect Apple to release three iPhones this year, but the one getting the most attention is a rumored super-premium model to celebrate the iPhone's tenth anniversary. And, for that phone, Apple is expected to change the type of screen the iPhone uses.
Here's a quick look at what you need to know about what it means if Apple switches from its current liquid crystal display (LCD) screens to a type of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screen called AMOLED．
The essential difference between an LCD screen and an AMOLED one is the presence of a backlight. Thanks to that difference, AMOLED screens can be very thin, which means you can make thinner products. They also provide more vivid colors, which is a reason that television makers have been pushing OLED in its various forms for their big screens. AMOLED screens, in particular, boast(夸口) even greater control over each individual pixel （像素）— which means better contrast for the viewer. These screens can also improve battery life. Because there's no backlight, AMOLED screens can be more energy-efficient when the
user is viewing darker subjects, allowing the phone to shut off pixels and stop drawing power.
So why hasn't Apple switched to AMOLED yet? After all, Apple competitors such as Samsung and LG already have these screens on their smartphones.
AMOLED screens are not cheap to produce. It's also not that easy to make the complex AMOLED screens, which could explain why most Apple fans expect that only the highest-end phone will have the new screen.
And then there's the cost. The switch to AMOLED has also been cited as a reason that the price of the high-end iPhone may jump above the $1,000 mark. Beauty, even in a mass-produced world, does not come cheap. Still, the expense may be worth it, especially as people shoot more photos and videos. 1、According to the passage, when will the iPhone’s tenth anniversary most probably be held? A．In June. B．In March. C．In November. D．In January.
2、According to most Apple fans, AMOLED screens will only be used on ________ this year. A．the cheapest iPhones B．the most massive iPhones C．the highest iPhones D．the most expensive iPhones
3、What does the underlined sentence indicate? A．It is very expensive to become beautiful. B．Everything has a price.
C．The more you pay, the more beautiful you will become. D．Practice more, and you will become better.
4、What’s the author’s attitude towards the expected iPhone? A．Negative. B．Critical. C．Positive. D．Uninterested.
22．The Alice Ferguson Foundation is a non-profit group that works to improve the environment （8分）by building relationships between people and nature. It teaches people ways to protect the environment. At the end of the year, it designs events to help children celebrate Christmas without increasing the amount of waste they create.
Hanna Seligmann works for the foundation. VOA joined Seligmann recently during one of her talks. “So let’s figure out what is in our bag of trash.” She shows adults and children how to reduce waste during the holiday gift-giving season. “You can sort it as a cardboard item or you can sort it as a plastic item,” Seligmann works with volunteers. “We encourage using things that are already in your house like newspaper, old magazines, using a gift within a gift. You can wrap something in a reusable napkin, wrap something in a scarf, or a shawl(围巾)or even a reusable to tote bag (大手提袋)。”
Lori Arguelles is the executive director for environmental education at the Alice Ferguson Foundation. “Over time we realized that really just doing trash, cleanups was the symptom of the problem, not getting to the root cause. And it was just a little over a decade ago that we started the initiative itself.”
One activity is called the Trash Timeline Game. It teaches children that the things they throw away do not decompose at the same rate. For example paper dissolves in about four weeks. An apple core takes two months. A metal can takes up to 100 years. A plastic bag will not decompose for 450 years Glass takes 1,000 years And, they say, Styrofoam (泡沫聚苯乙烯) never dissolves.
Young people taking part in the program learn that reducing waste is important not just during the holidays, but every day of the year.
1、Why is the Alice Ferguson Foundation created? A．To help children celebrate Christmas. B．To reduce the amount of waste. C．To make the environment better,
D．To build relationships between people and mature 2、What suggestion does Seligmann give on wrapping gifts? A．It is better to use cardboard items to wrap gifts.
B．It is better to wrap gifts in some things capable of being used again. C．It is better not to wrap gifts in plastic items. D．It is better not to wrap gifts at all.
3、What can we infer from Lori Arguelles’s words?
A．Doing trash cleanups means a lot to protecting the environment.
B．We still need to make great efforts on the way to protecting the environment. C．Over a decade our efforts to protect the environment proved fruitless. D．Over time we found the root cause of protecting the environment 4、What’s the meaning of “decompose”? A．break down B．break out C．store up D．store away
