1、   If you are in Shanghai and want to throw away a cup of milk tea, be careful.1. From July.1st on, people in Shanghai have been required to sort garbage according to strict rules. Many other cities in China are planning to create similar garbage-sorting rules.

Why should we sort our garbage? 2. The answer lies in the increasing waste we are producing. Chinese cities produce over 200 million tons of waste each year, according to China Economic Net. Most of this waste is buried in landfills (垃圾填埋场), which may pollute water and soil. Moreover, we are running out of space for new landfills.

3 事实上，超过一半的废弃物可以被回收利用。Recyclable garbage can be made into new materials, while wet garbage can be used to make gas, heat and fertilizer (肥料). But in order to recycle efficiently, we need to sort our garbage.

Can't garbage-processing companies do the sorting job for us? They can.4. 但是这需要大量的工作并且花费大量金钱。5. Things will become much easier if each of us can sort our own garbage. Besides, the troublesome task of sorting might encourage people to produce less waste.

24、Do you think stones can move by themselves? There are some famous moving stones in Death Valley, the US. Many of the stones are small but a few of them are very big. Some of the big stones are as big as a man. The biggest stone weighs about 350 kg.

The stones only move at night. Nobody has ever seen them moving, but now scientists know the answer to the question. The answer is the wind. When the wind comes from the west, the stones move to the east. When the wind is from the north, they always move to the south. But how can the wind move a very heavy stone?

Death Valley is one of the hottest places in the world, but it can be very cold at night. Sometimes, there are even bad storms（风暴）at night. Rain falls, and the wind is strong and cold. The water on the ground turns into ice easily. Then the strong wind can move the stones along the flat（平坦的）ground. In the morning, the sun comes up and dries the ground. So people can find them move from one place to another in the daytime.

【1】When do the stones move in the Death Valley?

A．At night.

B．During the day.

C．All the day.

D．Nobody knows.

【2】If the wind comes from the northwest, the stones move to the________.

26、   What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves? Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them are worried about the road ahead.

Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless (无人驾驶) cars. These cars are now in testing (测试). If the tests are successful, these self-driving cars can be used very soon. But how is it possible for a car to drive itself?

Some cars already have many features (特点) allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they discover objects close by. They can also control the speed (速度) if there are dangerous conditions, such as snow or wet roads.

Other features have also changed the way drivers deal with some situations. Scientists believe, with the help of wireless signals (无线信号), cameras and GPS, making a safe self-driving car can be possible. The cause of serious road accidents is usually careless driving or dangerous conditions. The self-driving car may be able to prevent (阻止) these. However, some people do not like the idea. American lawyer White Drake, for example, doesn’t believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technology can also make mistakes.

【1】Driverless cars ________.

A.cost more than normal car B.make the road safer C.can’t control the speed   D.are still in testing

【2】From the passage, we know some cars already have the ability (能力) to ________.

【3】According to scientists, safe driverless cars can work well with the help of ________.

A.American lawyers B.excellent drivers

C.wireless signals, cameras and GPS D.scientists and passengers

【4】What’s the passage mainly talked about?

A.The successful tests of driverless cars.

B.Driverless cars will take the place of normal cars soon.

C.To introduce the advantages (优点) and disadvantages (缺点) of driverless cars.

D.The future of driverless cars.

27、Most people graduate from school and then get a job. Everyone wants a job and pays well. How much money can you make? Ask yourself these questions. What can I do? What skills do I have? Also ask yourself: How much education do I have? For most jobs, the higher your education, the higher your earning power (the money you can make).

For example, the United States, high school graduates make about $18,600 a year. If you don’t finish high school, you make only $10,800 a year. You can make $7,800 more each year by staying in high school.

If you stay in school, then you can make more money. Let's look at the example again. A person with a high school degree makes about $ 18,600 a year. If that person goes to college and gets a bachelor's degree, he can make $42,000. With a master’ s degree, he can make about $53,000. If the person gets a doctor's degree, he can make almost $ 79,000 or more a year.

We can learn a very important thing from this information. If you want to work and make more money, get a good education.

【1】In the United States, if you graduate from a high school, you can get _______every month.

A. $ 7,800 B. $18,600 C. $1,550 D. $10,800

【2】From the passage, we know a person_______usually makes the most money.

C. with a master's degree D. with a doctor's degree

【3】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. A high school degree is not important.

B. Everybody must go to university.

C. You can make more money with a higher education.

D. Many people can't get jobs after leaving school.

28、   Most great inventors often met with much trouble in their work. Before they could succeed, they had to overcome (客服) thousands of difficulties. The following is one of such e【1】.

George Stephenson (1781～1848), a famous British inventor made the first train in 1825, using a stream engine. When he was experimenting with the engine on the train, he met with troubles from the government, the newspapers and the gentlemen in the country. They said that the n【2】and the smoke would kill cows, horses and sheep, that the engine would burst (爆裂) or that the h【3】 coals from it would set fire to their houses.

George Stephenson told the people that the train could go on small rails, could pull carriages full of goods (货品) and p【4】and that there was no great d【5】 to them. It was a very difficult matter for him to convince (使信服) them. H【6】, after some time, the first train that was d【7】 by Stephenson himself proved him right. On the train there was a new steam engine. It was invented by him, and was proved a complete success.

The first day when the train ran on the rails, people along the way heard the noise of the train in the distance, and saw it r【8】 quickly to them. They thought it was a genie (妖怪). They were so full of fright that they ran quickly back home and closed their doors tightly. They did not dare to come out until it had passed. An old woman s【9】said that her hen had been so frightened that it hadn’t l【10】 any eggs for three days.

And ______ he found a fault(瑕疵) in his puppet, he would throw it away and start again. With each ______ attempt(尝试), his puppet became a little bit better. Years passed, his puppet was much better than anything his old apprentices could make, but he ______ making improvements. Living like that, the man wasn’t making any money, and many people ______ him and thought how silly he was.

When he was an old man, his puppet was ______ wonderful. Finally one day, after years of ______, he finished his puppet, and said, “I can’t find anything wrong with it.
