Beetl and its designers. TNS

Playing with dogs is enjoyable for dog owners.

However, it is not enjoyable to clean up their smelly feces（粪便）.The good news is that a company has designed a robot to do this for us.

With its sensors and cameras, the robot, called Beetl, is able to find and scoop up what dogs leave behind. The sensors also help it avoid things like trees and cars.

People can send it off to work within their yards. They can also limit its movement to a certain area. Once it finds feces, it moves over it and uses a claw（爪子）as a scoop.The robot then puts the feces in a container（容器）.

However, the robot is still being tested. So until it is ready to go to market, dog owners will still have to scoop up after their pets.

【1】We can know from the material that Beetl is________.

A.a dog B.a designer C.a dog owner D.a robot

【2】It’s clear that________.

A.dog owners must be happy with the product B.there are six designers in the company

C.the robot hasn’t been tested D.Beetl enjoys playing with dogs

【3】In the material, “sensors” can be kinds of________.

A.claws B.instruments C.phones D.scoops

【4】The writerwrote this material probably to________.

A.introduce some designers B.explain how Beetl works

C.introduce a new invention D.advertise Beetl

【5】Where can we probably read this material?

A.In a travel magazine. B.In a scientific report.

C.In a guidebook. D.In a science magazine.

25、   When your pen is broken, you think that’s the end of its life. You throw it away. It then joins tons of other garbage that is becoming a big problem in cities.

Each day, about 10,000 tons of waste is produced in Guangzhou, and 17,000 tons of household waste is produced in Beijing. In other countries, the case is similar. “If you’re like most of us, most Americans, you’re making seven pounds (3.17kg) of trash a day,” US writer Edward Humes told CNN. So, an American makes 102 tons of trash in a lifetime.

If you simply throw away that broken pen, it goes to a landfill(垃圾填埋场) and is buried together with many other trash. To prevent polluting the groundwater, workers cover the trash with soil and keep it dry. And your pen will stay there for a long, long time, without having further use. But it could have a better destination: the recycling bin.

Have you ever noticed the different colors of trash bins in the street? Many cities in China have been running a waste-sorting campaign. They divide trash into “recyclable waste” and “unrecyclable waste”. So in Yiwu there are many “Little Yellow Dog” appearing all around the city, even in our campus.

Recycling waste can save energy, reduce greenhouse gas, and keep space free for the unrecyclable trash. Take your pen as an example. At the recycling factory, its metal parts could be taken out and reused to make other things.

But recycling is not enough, experts say. Making less waste in the first place is the way forward. “The best thing to do is just to keep using your stuff for as long as you can,” US writer Adam Minter told Time Out magazine.

【1】How much trash does each American make every year on average?

A. 7 kg B. 3.17kg C. 102 tons D. over 1 ton

【2】According to the story, how should we deal with broken pens?

A. Throw them away. B. Bury them in a landfill.

C. Put them into a recycling bin. D. Give them to our friend.

【3】Waste should be recycled because this can ___.

  a. save energy  b. produce greenhouse gas  c. save landfill space  d. save water

A. ab B. bc C. ad  D. ac

【4】What is the best way to reduce waste？

A. Recycle different kinds of waste.

B. Keep using your things as long as you can.

C. Keep waste inside your house.

D. Tell people about the importance of recycling.

27、   A sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine the two to do something for the environment? It may well be possible next year. When you have finished with your mobile phone, you will be able to bury it in a garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.

A biodegradable (生物所能分解的) mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage consumers to recycle.

Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft, and is able to change shape. But over time it can also break down into the soil without giving out any poisonous chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it forms fertilizers (肥料). These feed the seed and help the flower grow.

Engineers have designed a small window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away. “We've only put sunflower seeds into the cover so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers will perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time." said one scientist.

As phone technology is developing so quickly, people are constantly throwing their mobiles away. This means producers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment. However, a biodegradable cover can offer some relief for nature.

【1】After you have finished using the new type of mobile phone, __________.

A.it can produce a sunflower seed

B.it will be recycled by some scientists

C.the phone will do harm to the environment

D.the phone cover will break down easily into the soil

【2】What can we know about the cover of the new type of phone?

A.It may make the seed grow at any time.

B.It can give out poisonous chemicals when breaking down.

C.It can turn into useful fertilizers for the sunflower seed.

D.Its shape can be changed into hard or soft plastic.

【3】The type of research is done because ___________.

A.too many waste mobile phones may lead to environmental problems

B.the technology of making phones is changing so quickly

C.nobody has ever thought of recycling mobile phones

D.it can help flowers grow better

【4】According to the passage, it’s TRUE that ___________.

A.about 650 million mobile phones are recycled every year

B.biodegradable mobile phones are available in the market

C.engineers have designed a small window to hold the rose seed

D.the flower only grows when the phone is thrown away

【5】What’s the purpose of the passage?

A.To discuss the development of the cell phone technology.

B.To introduce an environmental-friendly cell phone to the readers.

C.To persuade the readers to buy biodegradable cell phones.

D.To tell the popularity of biodegradable cell phones.

Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, b______ you go to sleep, it's a good idea to review the new things you learned that day.

Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what's right and what's w______, and it will lead to the right answer.
