Once upon a time, there was a man who had several sheep.

1 One morning, the man discovered that one of his sheep was missing. It turned out that, during the night, a wolf had stolen his sheep through a hole in the sheep pen(羊圈).

His neighbor said to him, “you should fix up the pen and cover the hole right away to avoid further losses(损失).” But the man said, “2 那只羊已经丢了，所以我不需要修理它。” And so he didn’t listen to the neighbor.

The next morning, the man discovered that another sheep was missing. 3 The wolf stole the sheep through the hole once again. 4 那个人后悔没有听他邻居的劝告。And he covered the hole at once. From then on, no more sheep were stolen by the wolf.

       The story tells us: 5 It is never too late to take action to correct mistakes and prevent future losses.

24、Recently, Lei Jun, the founder(创始人) of China’s tech company Xiaomi, called for more e-waste recycling plans in China. “China should set up different recycling ways to make full use of the unwanted electronics such as smartphones and computers to reduce the country’s carbon emission(碳排放), ” Lei told CCTV News.

According to the 2020 UN Global E-waste Monitor, the world’s e-waste will reach 74.7 million tons by 2030. That’s almost a doubling of e-waste in just 16 years. This makes e-waste the world’s fastest-growing household waste. The report also found that only 17.4 percent of the world’s e-waste was collected and recycled in 2019. This means that gold, silver, copper(铜) and other high-value materials were mostly burned or thrown a way instead of being reused. It’s a waste of 57 billion dollars, or 360 billion yuan, E-waste can also harm the environment and people’s health. For example, one mobile phone battery can pollute 600, 000 liters of water.

China is now the world’s largest producer of e-waste, followed by the US, India and Japan, according to the UN report. Tech companies are looking for different ways to solve the problem. For example, US company Apple built a robot called Daisy to take iPhones apart. With Daisy, valuable materials can be pulled out more easily and then they can be reused. Samsung plans to use recycled materials in all of its new products by the year 2025. Xiaomi is also setting up e-waste recycling platforms so that people can donate or sell their old electronics more easily.

【1】What is Lei Jun’s suggestion according to the first paragraph?

A．To reduce the use of e-products.

B．To reuse the old computers.

C．To recycle more e-waste.

【2】In which year did the amount of e-waste reach about 37.3 million tons?

A．2014.

B．2019.

C．2021.

【3】Throwing away e-waste can cause bad influences EXCEPT ________.

A．waste of valuable materials

B．no more electronics to use

C．harm to health and environment

【4】Why does the writer mention Apple’s Daisy, Samsung and Xiaomi?

A．To explain why we should deal with e-waste.

B．To advise our country to work with others.

C．To give examples of reusing e-waste.

【5】Where can we probably read this passage?

A．A travel magazine.

B．A comic book.

C．A newspaper.

25、When your pen is broken, the battery in your toy runs out, or you have some leftover food. What do you do with these things? You will probably throw them into one bin.

But actually, all of these pieces of trash need to be sorted (分类) separately.

Garbage sorting is a big issue worldwide. In recent years, some Chinese cities have been working hard on it.

Shanghai has worked with Alipay to create a “green account (账户)” service for its residents. Account holders get points by correctly sorting their garbage. Through the Alipay app, they can exchange the points for milk, phone cards and other products. The city is asking all of its residents to sort their garbage into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.

Wet waste is also known as household waste. “They are things you don’t want, but that pigs can eat,” Guangzhou Daily explained.

Paper, metal (金属), glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.

Harmful waste includes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯泡).

Finally, any waste that’s not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in the “dry waste” bin.

Many other Chinese cities are also using this method to sort their garbage. For example, Shenzhen has been sorting its garbage into the same four groups since 2012. Students there also receive waste-sorting guidebooks that they must study.

China is improving its waste-sorting efforts. There is still a long way to go. But it’s never too late to learn how to sort your trash properly and protect the environment.

If you don’t sort your garbage, all of it will go to a landfill (垃圾填理场) and be buried together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could have been used for planting trees or crops. The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries, can pollute the soil and groundwater (地下水). Other pieces of garbage, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.

【1】How is Shanghai encouraging people to sort their garbage?

A．Creating a “green account” service with the help of Alipay

B．Paying people to sort their trash correctly

C．Allowing people to exchange garbage with each other

D．Providing its residents with guidebooks to help them

【2】Which of the following would be classified as wet waste?

A．Batteries

B．Glasses

C．Leftover food

D．Medicine

【3】What do we know about garbage sorting in China?

A．It started its garbage sorting system in 2012.

B．Students have to take waste-sorting classes in school.

C．There is still a lot of work to be done in this area.

D．Burying garbage is a common method of getting rid of garbage.

【4】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A．Where we can bury our waste.

B．Why we should sort our garbage properly.

C．What kinds of waste can pollute the environment.

D．How some kinds of waste can be reused and recycled.
