細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)How do I enter? 中的第2 點“Write your entry--it should be a maximum of 1,500 words” 最多應(yīng)該有1500個字，所以A是錯誤的。根據(jù)第4點“Complete the simple online entry form.”B是正確的。第3點“maximum six pages long;” 最多六頁長可知C是錯誤的。故選B。

【2】Ｃ

　推理判斷題。根據(jù)“Important dates”部分中的“if you have just missed one of the entry deadlines, your submission will be automatically entered into the next session.”及后面的表格可知，如果你在3月4日提交的話錯過了1st June的時間，只好等到下一次的，也就是在12th June1評判。

【3】Ｃ

主旨大意。通讀全文可知，本文主要是讓人們參加這個活動，倡導(dǎo)向零廢物發(fā)展，一起來加入循環(huán)運動，減少浪費。通過分析可知C符合題意。

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
The US will have a new president this fall. Voters will decide between the Democratic candidate (候選人), Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump of the Republicans.
But the voting is not a must for each person in the US. So quite a lot of people choose not to vote, especially the young generation. According to Fox News, one-in-five young voters between the ages of 18 and 35 said clearly that they wouldn't vote for either of the two candidates. Just 12 percent of voters aged 35-54, and only nine percent of voters aged 55 and older said the same thing.
This is not only because young people don't like Clinton or Trump, according to the Fortune magazine. The truth is that they are traditionally less likely to vote than their parents.
“Young people are not at an age in their life when they think politics or government has anything to do with them,” said Rodd Freitag, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, US. “But for the older age groups, they have a home, they pay taxes (稅), they care about schools and the community.”
Many believe that the civic (公民的) education of an American youth is another reason why they don't vote.
Students usually just do community services like cleaning the neighborhoods. This means they haven't learned how to link real life problems to politics through voting, according to Christopher Beem, a politics professor at the Pennsylvania State University.
He said the country needs to help young people learn how to take part in politics and get them to see that they can make a difference.
（1）What percentage of young voters wouldn't go to vote?
A.9 percent.
B.12 percent.
C.20 percent.
D.55 percent.
（2）According to Rodd Freitag, young people are less likely to vote because ________.
A.they don't like either of the candidates
B.their parents don't like to vote
C.they don't think it is a part of their life
D.they have no work and care little about living problems
（3）Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A.US Young Not Voting
B.US Young and Their President
C.Young People's Power
D.Voting for the New US President

Frozen fish isn't as tasty as the fresh one.
There are many common methods used to cook fish. First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices（調(diào)料）.
Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it's ready to serve.

【題目】Haad Farang (Haad Sai Yao),KohMuk

This small but striking bay in Thailand has waters free from riptides（激流）,making it safe for families to play water in the sun.As its nickname implies—Farang is Thai for foreigners—you'll find a large concentration of backpackers here.Still,with only a couple of simple food shops,it's a far cry from the noises of Chaweng beach on Koh Samui or Kamala on Phuket,which makes it to be one of the top tourist destinations.

Where to eat

The Ko Yao Viewpoint Hotel is the best place for tourists.Drink the sweet cocktails in favour of an icy Chang beer and sit in the last rays of the day.
