24、   A new rubbish sorting system (垃圾分类系统) has been put into use in Fangchengyuan Community in Beijing. Local people not only sort their rubbish, but also put QR codes (二维码) on it.

"When the rubbish is collected and the codes are seen, I will get reward points to exchange for small gifts and even some money," one of the local people told reporters. "It's really creative and encouraging."

This smart system has been carried out in 350 communities in Beijing. The capital of China has joined a list of cities in the country that take action to support rubbish sorting. For example, Shenzhen and Shanghai have made laws to punish people and organizations for not sorting rubbish correctly.

China produces quite a lot of rubbish every year. Much of the rubbish is buried in soil or burned without being sorted. Landfills (填埋场) take up a lot of land and have a risk of polluting the soil and water nearby. And burning rubbish can produce harmful gases. Through rubbish sorting, we can reduce the use of landfills and air pollution.

What's more, rubbish sorting saves resources, which could bring economic benefits (经济利益). For example, a ton of waste paper can be reused to make about 850 kg of paper, saving 17 trees and 50 percent of water. Because of their benefits, some countries have developed successful sorting systems.

Japan has a strict and detailed system. When people throw away a water bottle, the cap, the wrapper (包装纸) and the bottle itself have to go into three different bins. Every year, families receive special rubbish sorting timetables and directions from their local governments. They are advised to follow the timetables and directions when they throw away rubbish.

In Australia, every family is provided with three rubbish bins -the red lid (盖子) bin for "general waste" like food and plastic bags, the yellow lid bin for "recycling" like steel and glass, and the green lid bin for "green waste" such as grass and leaves. On the streets, the bins are printed with pictures of the things that are allowed inside. It makes recycling quite easy.

【1】Which of the following is NOT the consequence (后果) of burying rubbish?

A.Polluting soil. B.Polluting water.

C.Taking up a lot of land. D.Saving resources.

【2】Which paragraph discuss the economic benefits of rubbish sorting?

A.Paragraph 3. B.Paragraph 4.

C.Paragraph 5. D.Paragraph 6.

【3】In Australia, which bin should you put food left after dinner in?

A.The red lid bin. B.The yellow lid bin.

C.The green lid bin. D.The black lid bin.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A.In Australia, the green lid bin is used for all kinds of recyclable (可回收的) waste.

B.In Japan, all kinds of things for recycling are printed on rubbish bins.

C.Japanese people cannot throw a bottle into a bin unless they move away the wrapper first.

D.Australian people have to obey local timetables and directions to throw away rubbish strictly.

25、People often say that an Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than in flats, and many people own their homes. They can paint and change them in any way they like. In a crowded city everyone knows that he or she has private space that is only for himself or herself and for invited friends.

People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting on a beach or a train or in a library? If you are on the beach you may have spread your sands around you; on the train you may have put your coat or a small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may have one corner or chair which is your own.

Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man sitting opposite me had his bag on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was made rather angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table! I took some newspapers out of my bag and put them on his. When I did this he sat up straight at once, opening his eyes wide. I had invaded（侵占）his space! A few minutes later, I took my newspapers off his bag in order to read them. He at once moved his bag to his side of the table.

【1】The English call their homes “castles” because ____________.

A. they don’t make friend with others

B. they are very important persons

C. they don’t want to stay with others

D. homes provide them with their own space

26、   In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.

My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.

Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.

You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo— a joyous zoo. Not surprising. I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.

The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.

In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree! I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember little steps add up to big dreams.

【1】When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be ________.

A. a writer B. a teacher C. a judge D. a doctor

【2】The underlined expression “withdraw from college” in Paragraph 2 means “________”.

A. quit college B. graduate from college

C. start college D. leave for college

【3】Why did the author withdraw from school in her second year of college?

A. She wanted to study by herself.

B. She fell in love and got married.

C. She suffered from a serious illness

D. She decided to look after her grandma.

【4】What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Little by little, one goes far.

C. Every coin has two sides. D. Well begun, half done.

【5】Which of the following can best describe the author?

A. Caring and determined. B. Honest and responsible.

C. Ambitious and sensitive. D. Innocent and single-minded.

27、   Earlier this year in Norway, people buried a steel bottle with plant seeds, a wristwatch and rock samples (样本) in it. Why did they do this? They were making a time capsule(时间胶囊).

Time capsules are small collections of goods or information that are stored somewhere safe. They can be opened by people many years later, giving future people a view of life in the past.

They may contain (包含) newspaper articles, popular music recordings, and photos. Historians can use time capsules to learn more about societies that lived in the past.

One of the earliest time capsules was the Detroit Century Box. On Dec 31st, 1900, the city picked several photos and letters to be placed in a box. The box was then locked until Dec 31st, 2000. The things inside the capsule give us a look at Detroit in the past. There were photos of people and places, as well as letters written by local people. Some of them even gave predictions for the future. One person predicted that Detroit would have a population of 4 million by 2000. But in fact, the city’s population was about 951,000 that year.

Humans have even sent time capsules into space! The US sent two capsules into space on the Voyager spacecraft (旅行者号航天器) in 1977. They are called the Voyager Golden Records. They contain sounds and pictures that show the diversity of human life and culture. For example, they have music by German composer (作曲家) Beethoven and pictures of plants, insects and landscapes (山水风景画). The Voyager spacecraft has traveled far away from our solar system(太阳系). It is hoped that aliens might find the time capsules someday and learn about us.

【1】A time capsule________.

A.is a subject about societies that lived in the past

B.is a small collection of things stored in a safe place

C.collects medicines and buries them deep underground

D.collects music recordings which will be popular in the future

A.23 years B.77 years C.100 years D.218 years

【3】From the collections in the Detroit Century Box, we may learn________.

A.what people wore in the past B.what Detroit was like in 1977

C.what would happen to Detroit in the future D.what the population of Detroit is in 2000

【4】What does underline word “diversity” in paragraph 5 probably mean in Chinese?

A.思想性 B.普遍性 C.预见性 D.多样性

【5】The Voyager Golden Records________.

A.contain pictures and plants B.were sent into space by Germany
