2017届高三一轮英语单元验收试题2 新人教版

　　M: Sure, Meg．What’s up?

　　W: I got a C for my report．I am wondering what I have done wrong．You know I have put a lot of time and energy to the report．

　　M: Well, Meg．I understand you have made much effort on the report．Maybe that’s why you are two days late to hand in the report．The due day is September 3rd．

　　W: Yes, Professor．I am sorry about that．

　　M: And this report is about the success of the Starbucks Coffee．In your report, you have mentioned the company’s management, selections of stores and service．But I am surprised that you didn’t mention anything about its coffee．It’s a coffee shop, Meg．Isn’t the taste of its coffee the most important thing to its success?

　　W: Yeah, I guess I have made a mistake by leaving it out．

　　M: And figures are important too．You also need to add an actual figure such as the monthly sales．

　　W: You are quite right professor．

　　M: And why not do more research, look for some figures and write the report again．

　　W: Are you giving me another chance, professor?

　　M: Seems like I am．Last August Susan and forty-two other students got wet and dirty while removing six tons of garbage from the river running across their city．They cleaned up the river as part of a weeklong environmental camp．Like one in three American rivers, this river is so polluted that it’s unsafe for swimming and fishing．Still, Susan, who has just completed her third summer on the river cleanup, sees a change in this river．nvironmental scientists praise the teenagers for removing garbage that can harm wild life．Water bird, for example, can choke on plastic bottle rings and get cut by scrap metal．hen the cleanup started, garbage was everywhere．But this year the teenagers had to hunt for their boats．By the end of the six-hour shift, they had removed enough garbage to fill more than two large trucks．“arbage in the river makes people begin to care about environmental issues,” Susan says．She hopes that when others read that she and her peers care enough to clean it up, maybe they would think twice before they throw garbage in the river．
