【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Disposing (处理) of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As more and more people choose to live close together in cities,the waste disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult.
During the eighteenth century,it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dump site. People would transport household rubbish,rotted wood and old possessions to the site. Regularly some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by. Factories and some other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just poured the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.
Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society. The first problem is space. Dumps(垃圾场), are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable. Farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere,cheap land in major city areas to dispose wastes is nonexistent(不存在的). Awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers,ground water,land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste,however, continues to grow.
Recycling efforts have become commonplace,and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs,however,can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a city's reusable waste,so more people should be involved in recycling programs.
(1)The most suitable title for this passage would be .
A.Places for Disposing of Waste
B.Waste Pollution Dangers
C.Ways of Getting Rid of Waste
D.Waste Disposal Problem
(2)During the 18th century, people disposed of waste in many ways except for .
A.burying it
B.recycling it
C.burning it
D.throwing it into rivers
(3)What can be inferred(推断)from the third paragraph?
A.Farm areas will continue accepting waste from the city.
B.There is cheap land to bury waste in modern society.
C.It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modern society.
D.Ways to deal with waste in modern society stay the same.
(4)The main purpose of writing this article is to .
A.select a suitable dump site
B.warn people of the pollution dangers
C.call on people to take part in recycling programs
D.tell people a better way to get rid of the waste

【答案】
(1)D
(2)B
(3)C
(4)C
【解析】文章讲述了垃圾处理问题的严重性、存在问题。号召更多的人参与到回收的项目中来。

(1)D主旨大意题。文章主要讨论垃圾处理的问题(D项),至于处理垃圾的地点(A项)、垃圾污染的危害(B项)和处理垃圾的方式(C项)都是垃圾处理问题的一个方面,不能以偏概全。所以选择D项。

(3)C推理判断题。从文章第三段The first problem is space.可知,在现代社会找到掩埋垃圾的地方是很困难的,故选C.

【题目】Young people in the United States do not have a strong understanding of the world and their place in it.

Two US-based groups, the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Geographic Society, conducted an online survey last year. They wanted to know what young people in American colleges knew about geography, U.S. foreign policy, recent international events, and economics.

The survey was given to over 1,200 Americans between the ages of 18 and 26 years. All of them presently attending, or having previously graduated from, a 2- or 4-year college or university.

The average test score, out of 75 total possible answers, was 55 percent. The study identifies a few important problems. For example, only 30 percent knew that the only part of the U.S. government that can declare war is Congress. Only 60% of those taking the survey could identify Brazil on a world map.

Part of the problem, argue the organizers of the survey, is the Internet. They say it is becoming harder to find high-quality information about world events amongst all the fake news and trivia which swamp the web. Forty-three percent of those questioned said they read about the news on Facebook.

Another problem is that most college courses do not require students to learn about international issues. If such information is not required, Richard Haass from the Council on Foreign Relations said, then the United States could have leaders like Gary Johnson. He was a recent presidential candidate who did not know about the Syrian city of Aleppo when a reporter asked him about it.

The survey results were not all bad. The young people also demonstrated a good understanding of climate change and renewable energy. And the majority of them said that international issues were becoming more important to them.

Haass says these findings suggest the need to find ways to get good information to students, both in school and online. To help, the Council on Foreign Relations is creating a new program called CFR Campus, designed to help build knowledge about global issues.

1What do we know about the survey?

A. The participants were all recent university graduates.

B. It was an online survey conducted by two US universities.

C. It was given to over 1,200 American people aged from 18 to 26.

D. It aimed to find out what the young people know about America.

2What’s one reason survey organizers give for young people’s lack of knowledge?

A. The poor quality of the US university system.

B. Young people’s unwillingness to travel abroad.

C. The sources from which they get their information.

D. Their lack of interest in knowing more about the world.

3What topic did the young Americans understand best according to the survey?

A. Government organizations. B. Geographic information.

C. Foreign relations. D. Environmental matters.

4In which column of a newspaper could we find this article?

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Uncivilized behavior by passengers unacceptable
For the first time, airline passengers have been blacklisted for uncivilized behavior. Their names will remain on the blacklist for one or two years, according to an announcement by the China Air Transport Association on Saturday. The blacklisting means they will not be able to travel by air until their names are removed from the list.
Blacklisting passengers who disobey the rules for traveling by air and so place their own interests before everything else, including safety, has long been overdue (迟到的,延迟的).
There have been frequent reports of passengers making a scene when their flight was delayed or when they believed that they were not treated as they should be on a flight.
Yet it is natural for some flights to be delayed because of reasons such as bad weather or mechanical problems that need to be solved. However, some passengers seem to take it for granted that their flight must take off at the time stated on their ticket, and they even assume that the members of the cabin crew are simply there to do their bidding(吩咐).
They forget that they should behave themselves in the first place and that respect is reciprocal (互相给与的).There is no reason for them to be respected when they do not show enough respect for others.
Observing rules can never be over-emphasized when it comes to flight safety. No one has the right to disregard the rules for any reason. Of course, airlines should provide quality services to meet the needs of passengers. Yet, even if passengers are not satisfied with the service provided, there is still no reason for them to flout the rules that are designed for the safety of all.
The blacklisting of these three passengers should serve for others to know they have to toe the line (顺从集体).
(1)Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Never before have airline passengers been blacklisted.
B.At no time should flights be delayed, whatever the reasons.
C.Members of the cabin crew should be at the passengers' service at any moment.
D.If an airline passenger is blacklisted, he or she will never be allowed to travel by air.
(2)The underlined word “observing” in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________.
A.abolishing
B.violating
C.setting
D.obeying
(3)According Paragraph 4, the author's attitude towards some passengers is ________.
A.Tolerate
B.Curious
C.Critical
D.Neutral
(4)The text is most probably taken from ________.
A.a research paper
B.a newspaper report
C.an advertisement
D.a flight guide
