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.

26、   Ever since the invention of the e-reader came into being, book-lovers everywhere have been debating which is better — the e-book or the traditional paper book. Can the prices of paper books compete with the low prices of e-books? Does the convenience of e-books compare with the feeling of a real book in your hands?

When I was young, I really loved reading paper books. With the rapid development of the technology, e-books have become very popular. As a result, I personally enjoy both with many good reasons.

1. E-books are more convenient to carry around.

If you’re like me, before going on a vacation, the hardest part packing may be choosing what books to bring. Your suitcase can only hold some of the books you like. What if you finish those before your vacation is over? Or what if you get bored with them and want to read something else? With an e-reader, you never have to worry about these kinds of problems, which carries around thousands of books all on a device that weights than a pound.

2. E-books are more effectively to read.

Since e-books can show the words in different sizes and even read the books to us, it has the advantage for people who might have a hard time reading or people with poor eyesight. People can also choose how many words to display on one line or how much space there is between lines according to their personal preferences. This allows those with reading disabilities to read more effectively.

3. Paper books help with readers' understanding.

Though e-books may be easier and faster to read, studies show paper books are better for understanding. According to a study by James Madison University, readers are more likely to skim e-books than paper books, which leads to less understanding of the content. Paper books allow readers to read slowly and deeply which give readers more chances to think over and understand more.

4. Paper books help with readers' sleep.

Studies also show the light from some e-books causes sleeping problems. The bright screens of e-readers can cause people to take longer to fall asleep or in some cases insomnia. Paper books don't cause these problems. So, if you' re a person who can't easily fall asleep or has problems with insomnia, paper books have the advantage.

In a word, both e-books and paper books have their advantages. So, as for the beginning question, "Which is better — the e-book or the traditional paper book? I don't think there's a right answer. As for me, I say, why not both?

【1】What can we learn from the passage?

A.E-books help readers solve the problem of packing by displaying more words on one line.

B.E-books help readers with reading disabilities by showing more interesting storybooks.

C.Paper books help readers understand more by giving readers more chances to think.

D.Paper books help readers with sleeping problems by wider space between lines.

【2】What does the underlined word "insomnia" mean?

A.An inability to sleep. B.An inability to wake up.

C.An ability to sleep. D.An ability to wake up.

【3】Which of the following will the writer mostly take on vacation?

A.Some paper books that are easier to finish.

B.One thick paper book to keep his vacation longer.

C.An e-reader to keep away from boring chatting.

D.Both an e-reader and his favorite paper books.

28、

Have you ever heard about “E-sticks”? People 【1】（很少）connect sticks with GPS. Wang Zikuan, a 【2】（青少年） from Shenzhen China, made a big difference by inventing the walking sticks for the elderly people. Zikuan found that elderly people always get hurt badly or hit 【3】（碰；撞） things when they walked around. Inspired by car alarm system, he built a sensor（感应器）into his walking sticks. If the stick comes within 25 cm of a wall or other things, it will sound an alarm to 【4】（警告）the user. The stick’s GPS system also allows users to be found if they get lost.

His teacher Mr. Zhang noticed his talent and 【5】（建议）that he should take part in an inventing competition, which was organized by the 【6】（当地的）government. After trying for many times, he finally made it and won the first place in the competition. Now the walking sticks are 【7】（广泛地）used by the old and the disabled. Many accidents are 【8】（避免） with the help of the walking sticks.

Zikuan’s parents took 【9】（骄傲）in what he had done. In order to develop Zikuan’s creativity, his parents always encourage him to think of more ideas that are well 【10】（值得） considering and take him to different invention fairs.

29、Maybe you have seen this in schools: Some students study nearly all the time but they  just pass their exams, while some others may spend much l  【1】     time on their books but do much better in exams. How could this happen? People used to think that hard work is the only way to success. But now they understand that smart work can make them successful, too.

Hard workers don’t m  【2】    working for long hours, while smart workers always think of several different answers to these questions. “Why should I suffer this?” “Isn’t there a better way to do this?” Thanks to these people, we can use computers instead of the abacus now. P  【3】    in every field is the direct result of “try to find a better way” by smart workers. There was a large soap factory in Japan. Once it received an unusual letter from someone who c 【4】    that there was no soap in the soapbox he bought.

How could empty soapbox go out of the factory? The engineers checked the producing and packing. The producing was fine, but in about one in ten thousand cases, the packing machines let an empty soapbox go. There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing the machine for such a small problem. The engineer soon worked out a s  【5】  . He put a large X-ray (X射线) machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapbox. A 【6】 teaching the workers how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted.

“Sir, we could have solved the problems in a much simpler and cheaper way.” a worker said.

“Really? How?” “We can put a huge fan near the packing machine. The wind coming from the fan will blow away the empty boxes and leave the other o  【7】 with soap. There would be no need for an X-ray machine, two computers, and operating by workers.”

See, this is smart work. In order to succeed, we should not only learn from the engineers’ hard work, but also think smart like the workers.
