22、During a waste collection session in May at the base of Mount Qomolangma, in the Tibet Autonomous Region, participants put garbage(mostly plastics)into bags and prepared to transport them downhill.
Dressed in camouflage and a blue vest, Samdrub dragged a sack to a blue truck parked a few hundred meters away. Scores of similar sacks were piled up along the roadside, waiting to be loaded onto the vehicle. Not far away, a couple of sheep roamed the deserted land looking for grass. “Loads of it here. Loads of it. This is the fifth consecutive time we have come here and we still haven’t finished the clean-up, ” said Samdrub, 64, who, like many Tibetans only uses one name. Samdrub and her companions are members of a regular clean-up campaign organized by the Lhasa Ban-White Association, an environmental advocacy group that taps the volunteer spirit to control abandoned plastic trash, also known as “white pollution”. The volunteers are of all ages and come from different walks of life. Now retired and with time to kill, Samdrub and her friends have taken to the city’s ravines and riverbanks to battle the pollution. “In recent years, I’ve read reports that livestock choked and died after eating plastic. I was born and raised in rural Shigatse, and I know how big a financial loss that is for herders. ” Samdrub said.
Tersing Dorji, 62, a member of the Lhasa Ban-White Association, said the worst pollution results from rural farmers’ markets and the common use of plastic bags, which are super-thin and relatively expensive to recycle. “They are of various colors and very light, and when the wind blows they fly everywhere. ” she said.
A rule was then implemented by authorities in Lhasa that banned the production of super-thin plastics and ordered retailers to charge customers a fee if they wanted a regular plastic bag. The ban was later extended to the entire region. It has worked well generally, especially in supermarkets and other large operations, where additional charges for plastic bags have prompted many shoppers to opt for reusable items, such as cloth bags.
【1】Why do the local volunteers like Samdrub participate in waste collection?
A.They are retired and have little time left.
B.They can make money by collecting waste.
C.They are encouraged by an environmental group.
D.They fight against pollution to help the Tibetans.
【2】What do we know about white pollution from Paragraph 2?
A.It will soon finish with people’s efforts.
B.People put it into sacks and dragged them downhill.
C.Clean-up campaigns are regularly organized to battle it.
D.It has been the main cause that leads to the death of livestock.
【3】What does the underlined word “prompted” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Caused.
B.Advised.
C.Promised.
D.Supported.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Ban on Plastic Bags
B.Pollution Caused by Plastic Bags
C.Action Against Plastic Waste in Tibet
D.Waste Collection Participated in by Locals
23、Before the end of the year, employees at Ubiquitous Energy, a company in Redwood City, Calif, will gather in a window-lined conference room to stare toward the future. That’s because their new glass windows will offer more than an amazing view of the mountains and blue skies of the North California landscape. They will also function as solar panels (太阳能电池板), able to power the company’s lights, computers and air conditioners.
Several years in the making, Ubiquitous’ energy-producing glass is a great technological achievement whose power lies in the layers of organic polymers (聚合物) between sheets of glass. As light enters the window, the flow of electrons between the polymer layers creates an electric current, which is then collected by tiny wires in the glass.
“It’s sort of like a transparent (透明的) computer display run backwards,” says Veeral Hardev, director of business development at Ubiquitous Energy. “That is, instead of electricity being sent to different points in a display to light them up, light is producing electricity to be sent out of different points in the window.”
Right now the windows produce about a third as much electricity from a given amount of sunlight as the typical solar batteries used in roof panels (板), and these windows, about half as transparent as ordinary glass, don’t work as well as transparent ones. But those standards are already enough to make the windows a promising product, says Hardev, adding the company is likely to improve the transparency significantly. As for the lower output of electricity, he notes that windows can cover a much greater surface area than a roof, so numerous windows will produce a surprisingly larger amount of electricity than the production from a rooftop full of higher-efficiency solar panels. “You could do both.” says Hardev. “But you’ll get more from the windows. The biggest challenge, he adds, is to make the windows from less than two square feet currently to about 50 square feet.”
【1】What makes the new glass windows special?
A.They can offer an amazing view.
B.They are controlled by computers.
C.They can power the conference room.
D.They can help stare toward the future.
【2】What is Hardev trying to explain in paragraph 3?
A.Where the light comes from
B.The importance of different points
C.The similarity of computers and glass
D.How the energy-producing glass works
【3】What can affect power production according to the passage?
A.The transparency of the glass.
B.The quality of the rooftop.
C.The height of the solar panels.
D.The thickness of the glass.
【4】What is the biggest problem Ubiquitous Energy needs to solve?
A.To change the window structure
B.To increase the size of the window
C.To protect the windows from lighting
D.To fix windows reasonably in an office
【5】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Windows: A New Challenge of Technology
B.Windows: No Longer Just for Letting in the Light
C.Power: A Pressing Problem in the Near Future
D.Power: Not Enough from Rooftop Solar Panels
24、It is inevitable (不可避免的) that students will make mistakes. Some teachers think punishing students is the most effective way for them to learn their lessons. Others choose a more moderate (温和的) way, like a face-to-face talk. I support the second.
In my opinion, punishment, especially physical punishment, will harm the students mentally. The students are likely to feel very ashamed. Their confidence may get lost as a result. They may end up locking themselves up and refusing to communicate with even their best friends. In such a situation, it will be very difficult to encourage them to open up again.
Furthermore, punishment is likely to cause additional misunderstandings between the teacher and the student. For example, my cousin once disturbed his teacher in class by talking to another student. The teacher only punished him instead of both of them. He believed the teacher to be partial towards students with better grades. Little by little, he started to dislike this teacher.
To help students learn lessons from their mistakes, there are many better methods for teachers to use than punishment. Here are some suggestions:
① Both the student and the teacher should calm down and then discuss the problem together.
② The teacher should give the student a chance to express his or her thoughts on the problem. In this way, the student may also be more willing to follow the teacher’s advice.
③ The teacher and the student can reach an agreement. For example, if the student promises not to make the same mistake again, the teacher can promise him or her a reward (奖励).
【1】According to the writer, if a student gets physical punishment, he or she may ________.
A.understand the teacher
B.lose the confidence
C.follow the teacher’s advice
D.learn some lessons

A.Para.1 and Para. 2
B.Para. 2 and Para. 3
C.Para. 2, Para. 3 and Para. 4
D.Para. 3 and Para. 4
【4】The writer writes the passage in order to________.
A.To call on students not to make mistakes
B.To ask both teachers and students to calm down.
C.To advise teachers to use a better way instead of punishment
D.To advise teachers to use physical punishment
【5】From the passage we know the writer is ________.
A.a nurse
B.not a good student
C.a strict teacher
