Daniel Kish had serious problems with his eyes when he was born. And doctors took away both of his eyes before he was fourteen months old.Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He started to make clicking(咔嗒) sounds with his tongue(舌頭) to help him move around. Much like a bat(蝙蝠), he now moves about using sonar(聲吶). He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle in traffic. He and his group, World Access for the Blind, teach others how to use sonar. In this interview with National Geographic, Kish explains how the process works.How does sonar work?When I make a clicking sound, it makes sound waves. These waves reflect(反射) off surfaces all around and return to my ears. My brain then processes the sounds into images(圖像). Its like having a conversation with the environmentWhen you click, what do you see in your mind?Each click is like a camera flash. I make a 3D image of the things around me for hundreds of feet in every directionWhat is it like riding a bike using sonar?Its exciting and enjoyable but requires a lot of focus. I click up to two times per second, much more than I usually do.Is it dangerous to move around the world in this way?Much of the world lives in fear of things that we mostly imagine.

Others drink bottled water because its easyyou can carry it around with you. In hot countries, like Greece, we often buy bottles of cold water in summer. However, making lots of plastic is not a good idea for many reasons. First of all, we need a lot of oil for plastic products. We usually use oil as a source(資源) of energy. If we reduced the number of bottles we made, we wouldnt need so much oil. Plastic bottles also pollute the environment. If we recycled all our plastic bottles, we wouldnt need so much space for rubbish dumps. But in Greece, we dont recycle much of the plastic we use. In 2006, Greeks recycled only about 10% of plastic waste. The rest became rubbish on land and in rivers and seas. So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the litter bin, stop and think. If you recycled it, you would help the environment. But what can you do when there isnt a recycling bin near you? Well, there are lots of useful ways that you can use your bottles again. For example, an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money, and if you cut a bottle in half, you will have a plant pot. Go green! You can make a difference. （1）What is not mentioned about bottled water in this passage? A . Its healthy.B . Its clean.C . Its easy.D . Its expensive.（2）Plastic products are made from _. A . energyB . oilC . rubbishD . plants（3）About_ of plastic waste became rubbish in Greece in 2006. A . 10%B . 50%C . 80%D . 90%（4）Which is the best way to deal with used plastic bottles? A . To recycle them.B . To make a piggy bank.C . To make a plant pot.D . To drop them into the river.（5）The underlined part in this passage tells us _. A . To make a different life, youd better go outsideB . To look different, youd better wear green clothesC . To protect the environment, you can do somethingD . To go green, you should use plastic products二、 任務(wù)型閱讀(共5小題，每小題2分，滿分10分) (共1題；共10分)5. （10分）閱讀短文及文后A-E選項(xiàng)，選出可以填入各題空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。 Jellyfish and Crocrodiles（水母和鱷魚）Hi, my names Ben.
