【题目】

When you throw something in the trash, soon a garbage truck will come to take it away. Then where does it go? That depends on where you live. Different towns deal with trash in different ways.

Recycling

A recycling truck picks up paper, cardboard, metal, plastic and glass. These go to the recycling plant to be sorted and made into new things.

Incinerator

An incinerator is a huge stove that burns trash to make heat and electricity. The ash that’s left gets buried in a landfill. Trash ash can be poisonous, so it has to be stored carefully. But is takes up a lot less room than just plain trash.

Compost

Food waste might go to a composter. In a compost heap (堆肥堆), bacteria and worms break down dead plants and old food. They turn it in into good, rich oil. Some people keep compost heaps in their gardens. Big commercial composters handle waste from restaurants and farms.

Landfills

Some trash gets buried in landfills. A landfill starts as a big hole. Trucks dump trash. Big earth movers push it into place and crush it down. They cover the trash with dirt to keep scavengers (食腐动物) away. The bottom of a landfills is lined with a barrier to keep bad things from leaking into the ground. Pipes drain away liquid. When the landfill is full, it’s covered with earth. It might become a park or lawn.

1What can we learn from the passage?

A.Recycling helps to generate energy.

B.Bacteria and worms helps handle food waste.

C.The landfill is used to drive scavengers away.

D.Trash ash is carefully handled to save room.

2What’s the purpose of the passage?

A.To inform us of trash treatment.

B.To appeal for trash classification.

C.To discuss solutions to trash pollution.

D.To raise awareness of the harm of trash.

【答案】

1B

2A

【解析】

这是一篇应用文。文章给读者介绍了四种处理垃圾的方式:回收利用,焚烧,堆肥和填埋。

1细节理解题。根据Compost部分下的In a compost heap (堆肥堆), bacteria and worms break down dead plants and old food. They turn it in into good, rich oil.可知,在一个堆肥堆里,细菌和蠕虫可以降解死去的植物和腐烂的食物,把他们变成富含营养的泥土。即,细菌和蠕虫可以处理腐烂的食物。B. Bacteria and worms helps handle food waste.(细菌和蠕虫帮助处理食物垃圾)符合以上说法,故选B项。

2推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容,尤其是第一段的Then where does it go? That depends on where you live. Different towns deal with trash in different ways.(那,它去了哪儿呢?这取决于你居住在什么地方,不同的城市用不同的方式处理垃圾)可推测,本文主要给读者介绍垃圾被处理的方式。A. To inform us of trash treatment.(告诉我们垃圾的处理)符合以上说法,故选A项。

【题目】Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be only used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Sept 27 is World Tourism Day. Of course, travel isn’t a new discovery. Imagine how Italian traveler Marco Polo must have felt when he found himself on Chinese 1, seeing a way of life quite different from anything he’d seen before.

And how 2 must it have been to listen to Zhang Qian when he returned to China from his journey through Central Asia and West Asia? His brain must have been packed with everything he’d seen and heard, leading to the 3 of the Silk Road.

Travel is one of the most exciting experiences a human being can have. Nowadays, more people are traveling than ever before. By train, plane and car, people all around the globe are 4 to places that people didn’t even know 5 a few centuries ago, or only knew from books.

Some people have traveled all over the world, and travel is a way of life to them. They perhaps know what to expect before they travel. That’s why the best travel is when it’s for the first time. Imagine a person who has always wanted to travel to the United States. Of course, they’ve probably seen the Statue of Liberty a thousand times on the TV, and the White House, and all the other famous 6 But none of that would compare to the 7 of looking out of the cabin window as the plane lands, watching the cities and streets of the real America come into 8.

Although travel is often just for fun, it’s also 9. We may not know that we are getting an education, but we still are.

We’re learning every day: new words in a new language, new people, and new ways of life. But this learning takes place in the school of the world, not the classroom. One of the lessons we learn is 10 a moral one. As we get to know foreign places, we come to understand that there are many different ways to live, and that the way we live isn’t necessarily the best way. The British politician Benjamin Disraeli summed this up well when he said, “Travel teaches toleration.”

【题目】 Recently there was a major discovery in the scientific research—the mapping of all DNA in a human gene is complete. Several years ago, it seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplish. All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day when human being will be cloned is not far away. Human cloning has always been a topic of argument in terms of morality (道德) or religion.

Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial, among many cases, it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning. Moreover, cloning would enable women who can't get pregnant to have children of their own.

Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned, so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs. This surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world who are expected to lose their lives due to organ problems. It is also arguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would rob people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of scientists.

However, arguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical side. Primarily, I believe that cloning would step in the normal "cycle" of life. There would be a large number of same genes, which reduce the chances of evolution, since it may be difficult for living creatures to naturally adapt to the ever-changing environment, which will result in ultimate disappearance. Furthermore, cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappear. Thus, leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purposes and, chances are that those individuals would be regarded as "objects" rather than people in the society.

Scientists couldn't surely guarantee that the first cloned humans will be normal. Thus this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human "gene-pool".

Regarding such arguable topics in "black or white" approach seems very innocent. We should try to look at all "shades" of it. I believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is for cloning organs; not humans. Then we could regard this as for "saving life" instead of "creating life". It is believed that cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable.

1What's the author's opinion on cloning?

A.Cloning should be entirely banned.

B.Cloning should be used in creating life.

C.Cloning will take away the right to reproduce.

D.Cloning is acceptable if it is used for cloning organs.

2Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

A.B.

C.D.

3Where is the text probably from?

A.A story book.B.A magazine.

C.A science fiction.D.A novel.
