二、阅读理解

认真阅读下列两篇短文，每篇短文后有5个问题，根据短文的内容从A、B、 C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。错选、多选或未选均无分。(本大题共10小题，每小题2分，共20分)

11.Passage 1Ian Guppy smiles broadly in his sunny backyard. “Point in any direction,” he says, “and you'll find junk.”The 46-year-old engineer is midway through framing a ten-by-ten-foot greenhouse, made almost entirely of castoffs.“How many shovels have you collected?”asks his wife, Elizabeth Peirce.Guppy walks into his workshop, where there are different types of snow shovels, some so new their stickers are still on. And inside the house are more second-hand items, including a suitcase. The couple found most of these goods within four blocks of their home. For them, it's not necessarily about saving money. “I could afford to buy a suitcase，” Peirce says. “But sometimes I see things and they're crying out to be pulled from the trash. There's just so much out there that's too good to waste.”In Halifax, roughly 64,000 tons of residential curbside (马路边）waste is collected annually. While citizens such as Peirce and Guppy are helping to reduce the amount of waste, the city government is also taking action. The city now holds biannual “Curbside Giveaway Weekends" when residents put out items they no longer want. Similar events are held across Canada.Another venue for exchanging junk is Freecycle.org, an international online network where members can connect with others in their communities and offer up used items they want to give away, or make requests for specific goods. Hayley Paquette, a 22-year-old student in Guelph, furnished her apartment almost completely through Freecycle and garage sales. Her motivation to make use of used goods is financial, but also practical.People who are reusing others' castoffs enjoy other benefits as well. “Because I don't spend a whole lot of money on material possessions,”says Wayne Groszko, a renewable-energy researcher, “I actually gain the freedom of not having to work quite as much. And that's pretty important to me.”In 2008, Groszko found a freezer on the street with a sign on it saying that it worked. He got out his bicycle trailer and took the castoff home. Today, he uses the freezer to store local fruit that he'll eat in the winter. “I don't see the point in buying lots of new stuff,” Groszko says. “I don't believe it contributes to our overall happiness.”Helen Spiegelman, coordinator of Zero Waste Vancouver, thinks Groszko's sentiment will become more common as global resources gradually decline and the costs of oil and consumer goods soar. Then, says Spiegelman, our own goods—from out-of-fashion bags to used hockey skates—will become more valuable to us and to others. What is Ian Guppy doing at the beginning of the passage?

A. He is sorting out junk.
B. He is designing a frame.
C. He is examining his castoffs.
D. He is building a greenhouse.

16.Passage 2In India, chai is more than just a cup of tea to start the day—the thick sweet drink is an integral part of the rhythm of life. Zach Marks and Rcsham Gellatly have been documenting the culture of Indian chai and the people who sell it—known as chai wallahs.Tea is India's most popular drink—the country consumes 837,000 tons of it every year. The ritual of drinking chai goes beyond all boundaries, and roadsides are dotted with chai wallahs who serve it boiled up with spices (香料)，sugar and milk.Santosh began selling tea at his shop 15 years ago. The neighboring area in Mumbai has changed dramatically. Many of the small businesses where Santosh once delivered chai have been replaced by large office buildings which he can't enter. But many people working in the new developments have become regular customers, preferring Santosh's chai made with thick milk and fresh ginger to the tea bags available in their offices.A popular ingredient in north Indian chai, ginger is believed to have numerous health benefits and is thought to keep your body warm in winter. The spicy root has been used in hot, milk-based beverages in India for hundreds of so when the British made tea popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, adding ginger to the mix was a natural thing to do.Shobhan Barwa's stand is in the heart of Alipore, a fashionable neighborhood in Calcutta. During the annual Hindu festival of Durga Puja, crowds of visitors gather here to see the elaborate pandals—temporary structures housing Hindu gods. He usually closes shop by 22:00, but for the week of Durga Puja, he stays open until 05:00 serving chai, eggs and French toast to visitors who need a caffeine kick to keep them going through the night.On the final day of the festival, thousands join a procession (游行队伍）to the Hooghly River where giant statues of Hindu gods and goddesses are put in the water. Last year, though, celebration turned to tragedy—a young man drowned when a statue fell on him. People gathered at a nearby chai stand to mourn his death.Several decades ago, chai was served in small clay pots, known as kulhar in Hindi or bhar in Bengali. While the bowls are still popular in Calcutta, plastic cups, tiny glasses and steel mugs have become the vessels of choice across most of India.According to Para. 1, what have Zach Marks and Resham Gellatly been doing?

A. They have been documenting the annual Hindu festival of Durga Puja.
B. They have been studying how the British made tea popular in India.
C. They have been describing the great changes in big cities of India.
D. They have been recording the Indian tea culture and tea sellers.

17. Which word is closest in meaning to the underlined word“developments”in Par a.3?

18. According to the passage, what is commonly used in north Indian chai and thought to be good for health?

19. What can be inferred from the passage about visitors during the annual Hindu festival of Durga Puja?

A.They usually stay up late.
B.They seldom join a procession.
C.They regularly bathe in the water.
