21、In recent years, Ethiopia has become a leader in solid waste management in Africa. Last year, the country transformed a rubbish site into a new waste-to-energy plant. The plant incinerates up to 1,400 tons of solid rubbish every day, supplying the capital with 25 percent of its electricity need.

Despite the great progress, challenges remain in Ethiopia. Laws and policies for the management of harmful wastes are still at an early stage and not effective in preventing illegal dumping (倾倒) of waste.

To help Ethiopia meet these challenges, the Waste Management Program that has been founded is supporting the country with a three-year project to improve institutional ability of sound management of harmful wastes.

In the initial stages, a project management unit will be formed. This unit will be responsible for reviewing and assessing Ethiopia’s present law frameworks, which does not specifically target the importation, production, transport, use and disposal (处理) of harmful wastes. Once legal gaps (漏洞) are identified, the project will seek to update existing law frameworks.

This project will work to promote the participation of women in policy development and decision-making processes. This will help make sure that existing policies and programs, as well as future institutional changes, are assessed with particular attention to women.

Many people in Ethiopia are not aware of the criminal influences of environmental violations and the need to report such crimes to the police. To solve this problem, Ethiopia will be conducting a series of activities, including creating awareness-raising programs. Ethiopia will also set up a national cooperation system for waste management. Authorities will also make budget in national and regional planning to make sure that these policies can survive even after the project’s completion.

The depth and breadth of these actions will make sure that this project has a lasting influence. In so doing, the recent progress Ethiopia has made in waste management will be not only kept, but become the basis for an environmental policy for years to come.

22、（重庆一中2016届高三5月模拟）For more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages.

Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1, 000 stars, all within 100 light years of earth. In addition, they will scan the entire sky to “listen” for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are looking for any signal they stands out from the background noise.

Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution of life. Based on the inhabitable（that can be lived in）planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life.

However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely.

Other scientists believe that our search hasn’t been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family is only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20 billion years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely that civilization much more advanced than ours have developed. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep looking.

【1】According to the passage, how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable?

A. 5 billion．   B. 10 billion.

C. 15 billion.   D. 200 billion

【2】The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about ________ .

A. how scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets

B. why scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets

C. where scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets

D. when scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets

【3】The underlined word “monitor” in the passage means“ ________ ”.

A. find   B. imitate

C. check   D. form

【4】Which of these statements is true based on the information in the passage?

A. The earth is one of the oldest planets in our galaxy.

B. Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets.

C. Scientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planets.

D. Scientists don’t believe that there might be life on other planets.

23、Several years ago, KenKeegan organized a gathering in Las Vegas, with a group of architects involved, who were asked what it would take to design a public school which used 50 percent less energy, cost much less to build and obviously improved students learning. “I think half of them fell off their chairs,” Keegan says.

Keegan is in charge of the management school facilities for Clark County, Nevada, a district roughly the size of Massachusetts. By 2028, 143,000 additional students will enter the already crowded public-education system. Keegan needs 73 new schools to house them. Four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes. With the intention of   constructing their schools in 2019, the district will assess how well the schools perform before allowing the winners to conduct their designs in 50 to 70 new buildings.

Green schools keep emerging all over, but in Clark County, which stands out for its vastness, such aggressive targets are difficult because design requirements like more natural light for students go against the realities of a desert climate. “One of the biggest obstacles is getting the right site orientation,” Mark. Mc, a director at SH Architecture, says. His team recently completed a high school in Las Vegas. “You have the same building, same set of windows, but if   its orientation is incorrect and it faces the sun, it will be really expensive to cool.”

Surprisingly, the man responsible for one of the most progressive green-design competitions has doubts about ideas of eco-friendly buildings. “I don’t believe in the new green religion,” Keegan says, “Some of the building technologies that you put forward are impractical. I’m only interested in those that work.” But he doesn’t mind if some green features inspire students. He says he hopes to set up green energy systems that allow them to learn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power. “You never know what’s going to start the interest of a child to study math and science,” he says.

【1】What can be inferred from the architects’ reaction in Paragraph 1?

A．Half of them lost balance in excitement.

B．Disbelief was obviously seen.

C．Most of them expressed little interest.

D．They burst into cheers.

【2】Which order of steps should be followed in carrying out the project?

A．Assessment－Construction－Design.

B．Assessment－Design－Construction.

C．Design－Construction－Assessment.

D．Design－Assessment－Construction.

【3】What is the biggest challenge Clark County faces if they are to build green schools?

A．The large size.

B．Limited facilities.

C．The desert climate.

D．Poor natural resources.

【4】In Keegan’s opinion, the ideas of green schools are .

A．questionable

B．out of date

C．advanced

D．practical.

24、There are some basic ways that we encounter potential new friends, the first of which is closeness. When we cross paths regularly, live in the same neighborhood, or share a workstation in the office with someone, it makes sense that acquaintanceship may deepen into friendship as a result of the consistent exposure that occurs through the use of shared space. While there is an old saying, familiarity generates disrespect, the opposite is also true, we tend to like someone more as we spend increasing amounts of time with them.

Shared life stage is the second way that we frequently find new friends. We take satisfaction and pleasure when spending time with people who are experiencing the same challenges or rewards that we are experiencing. When we move from high school to college or college to our first job, we tend to seek out the company of others who are experiencing the same transformation we are.

Shared interests are also a reliable path to friendship making. When we get into a new fitness program or start making our own beer, we are going to be bumping into new people who share these interests whether it’s through chatting in the juice bar or trying to decide what to buy at the craft beer making supply shop.

We know that there are three paths that lead to new friendship pools where we are likely to build our social networks, but do we ever know right from the start that we’ve met a friend? Science suggests it is absolutely possible. While we may all have felt the same excitement of instant connection with someone, the “someone” who generates that feeling of warmth in us is going to tell us a lot about who we are as individuals and what we think we need in a friend or partner.

While we may run across potential friends through some ways, there remains a bit of mystery as to why we “click” with some potential friends and not with others.

【1】What’s the common understanding of closeness?

A．It leads to more shared space.

B．It creates a mental distance.

C．It helps establish relationships.

D．It makes people more attractive.

【2】As a fresh staff in a company, you are more likely to be a friend of ________.

A．someone who lives in your community

B．someone who has richer work experience

C．someone who gets the job together with you

D．someone who has a wider range of interests

【3】What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?

A．A friend is easier lost than found.

B．True friendship is never peaceful.

C．Friendship is always the aid of virtue.

D．Friends hold a mirror up to each other.

【4】What can be concluded from the article?

A．We are unclear why we have a preference for someone.

B．It’s easy for people to be friends right from the first meeting.

C．Friendships can’t develop between those with diverse tastes.

D．People tend to possess the same interests after becoming friends.

25、   The complaints started a few weeks after Frances moved into her new apartment. Last year, the health-care worker and her roommate began _______ messages from the building's security officer, passed on from the woman living in the unit below — they were too _________, moved chairs too often and their guests talked and laughed loud.

To Frances, the noises were part of everyday living. Her roommate tended to drop things. Frances' children _________ visited and ran around. "It was _________”says Frances.
