【題目】Do you drink water that's been left sitting out overnight or even for another day? Have you noticed it tastes different?

Tap water that has been left to sit out slowly begins to acquire an off taste. Many people think that this is because of microorganisms(微生物). But that's not what makes old water taste not fresh. For that we can thank carbon dioxide. After about 12 hours, tap water starts to go flat as carbon dioxide in the air starts to mix with the water in the glass, lowering its pH and giving it an off taste. But it's most likely safe to drink.

However, back to those microorganisms. If you use a dirty glass day after day, there is more of a chance of bacteria making themselves known; a risk that increases if you share the glass with another mouth as well. But assuming you use a fresh glass every few days, you probably won't have a problem unless the glass has been touched by dirty fingers, and especially if those dirty fingers went unwashed after using the bathroom.

As for plastic water bottles that have been left out in the sun or in the car, step away from the bottle, warns Dr. Kellogg Schwab, director of the Johns Hopkins University Water Institute. "A chemical called bisphenol-A, or BPA, along with other things used to make plastic can leach(過濾) into your water if the bottle heats up or sits in the sun," he explains. BPA, as you probably know, has been linked to everything from heart disease to cancer. Schwab also adds that plastic used for commercial bottled water isn't meant to be washed or refilled, so use only one time and recycle. Or don't buy them at all; use refillable water bottles instead.

1】Tap water begin to acquire an off taste because of ________.

A. BPAB. the glassC. the microorganismD. carbon dioxide

2According to Paragragh 2, tap water that's been left sitting out for 12 hours ________.

A. tastes betterB. is still safe to drink

C. contains few microorganismsD. is most likely undrinkable

3】What should we do with plastic water bottles that have been left out in the sun or in the car?

A. Throw them away.B. Refill them with fresh water.

C. Use them after they cool down.D. Clean them and use them again.

4】Which of the following is true about BPA?

A. It is safe for people to use.

B. It is a kind of new material.

C. It can cause great harm to people.

D. It is the main material to make plastic.

【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項 (A 、B 、C 和 D )中 ,選出最佳選項。

The sharing economy has grown in recent years to include everything from apartment sharing to car sharing to community tool sharing. Since 2009,a new form of sharing economy has been emerging in neighborhoods throughout the US and around the world—Little Free Libraries. The libraries are boxes placed in neighborhoods where residents(居民) can take out and leave books. Little Free Libraries come in all shapes and sizes. Some libraries also have themes, focusing on books for children, adults, or tour guides.

In 2009,Tod Bol built the first Little Free Library as a gift to his mother, a devoted reader. When he saw the people of his community gathering around it, exchanging conversations as well as books, he knew he wanted to take his simple idea further. “I think Little Free Libraries open the door to conversations we want to have with each other.” Bol said.

Since then, his idea has become a movement, spreading from state to state and country to country. According to Little Free Library. org, there are now 18,000 of the little structures around the world, located in each of the 50 US states and 70 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia.

The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries. But an Atlantic article says the little structures serve as a cure for a world of e-reader downloads. The little wooden boxes are refreshingly physical and human. For many people, the sense of discovery is Little Free Libraries’ main appeal. “A girl walking home from school might pick up a graphic novel that gets her excited about reading; a man on his way to the bus stop might find a volume of poetry that changes his outlook on life,” says the Atlantic article. “Every book is a potential source of inspiration.”

【1】How do Little Free Libraries get their books?

A. Citizens shared them. B. Tod Bol donated them.

C. US government provided them. D. The communities bought them.

【2】Why did Tod Bol want to build more Little Free Libraries?

A. He wanted to promote his idea worldwide.

B. He was inspired by the sharing economy.

C. They can offer neighbors more chances to talk.

D. They are a gift to please his mother.

【3】According to the Atlantic article , Little Free Libraries _________.

A. help cut down on e-reading

B. benefit the spread of the Internet

C. promote e-reader downloads

D. call on human to care about each other

【4】Little Free Libraries attract readers most in that .

A. they connect strangers together

B. they are located all over the world

C. they are in various shapes and sizes

D. they may give readers a sense of discovery
