26、When we buy something new, we get rid of what’s old. That cycle of consumption (消费) has made electronics waste the world’s fastest-growing solid-waste stream, which is expected to grow as the world upgrades (升级) to 5G.

While promising faster speeds and other benefits, 5G will result in a sharp increase in e-waste. That’s good business for ERI, which charges customers to collect their electronics and to securely wipe their data. But less than a quarter of U.S. electronic waste is recycled, the rest ending up as rubbish, causing environmental risks.

Part of the problem concerns laws. In states without laws banning electronics from the regular trash, electronics often end up in garbage and recycling bins. Even when e-waste rules exist, it’s left to consumers to handle their old devices properly. But recycling them can be a pain. Rather than drop a used phone in a bin, lots of people have to take their electronics to a store, which may pay them for it or charge them to get rid of it. Many consumers simply throw their devices into the trash or throw them in a drawer.

One solution is to make electronics last as long as they once did. Yet, technology companies are speeding the pace of being deserted. “It’s a strategy by producers to force us into shorter upgrade cycles,” said Kyle Wiens, the founder of iFixit, which publishes do-it-yourself repair guides.

Some environmental groups say big companies like Apple and Samsung should pick up the cost of recycling the devices they sell. Lawmakers have passed Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws, which require producers to establish and fund systems to recycle or collect abandoned (抛弃) products.

Some companies are increasing their recycling efforts on their own, For example, Apple in 2018 introduced Daisy, a smartphone-recycling robot that can take apart 200 iPhones every hour. But that’s a drop in the bucket (桶) compared with the 50 million tons of e-waste generated globally last year.

【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A．Increasing e-waste caused by 5G.

B．Expenses paid for network services.

C．E-waste recycling capacity in the U. S.

D．Promising benefits of new electronics.

【2】What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 3?

A．Businesses charge consumers too much.

B．It’s easy for a store to handle used devices.

C．Each state must make laws to ban e-waste.

D．Recycling e-waste is a painful task.

【3】What can we expect of Daisy introduced by Apple?

A．It will be applied to more recycling centers.

B．It needs to be upgraded to work more efficiently.

C．It may reduce a large amount of e-waste.

D．It could bring great profit to big companies.

【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A．A Sharp Increase in 5G Charges

B．5G Technology’s Bright Future

C．Apple, a Globally Well know Brand

D．E-waste, Challenging the World

27、A warmer global climate will certainly mean more than just more sweat! It may, for example, change wind and rain patterns and it may lead to rising sea levels. These changes will affect plant and animal life as well as human health. The future climate will be determined partly by how many greenhouse gases are emitted (散发). The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has identified (识别) how much we can expect the climate to change. According to the IPCC, if we don t take action to limit emissions of greenhouse gases, by 2100 we can expect the mean surface temperature to increase by (1.4-58C) compared to 1990 the sea level to rise between 9 and 88 cm 5-20% more rain and snow.

The reason why scientists do not know whether the temperature will increase by a little more than one degree or up to six degrees is that, first, they do not know how many greenhouse gases will be emitted in the future, and second it is still uncertain how sensitive (敏感的) the climate on Earth is to emissions of greenhouse gases.

Moreover, the above figures are averages (平均值) for the entire planet. This means that some places may become much warmer, while others may change little, or even become cooler. But the degree of climate change that a certain country faces has little to do with how many greenhouses gases have been emitted. Greenhouse gases are well mixed with the other gases in the air. After they are emitted, they do not stay in the same place, but spread throughout the atmosphere. Once they are there they stay a long time. This is why it is not true that the biggest emitters will suffer the biggest climate changes. The most serious results of an increased greenhouse effect are just as likely to show up in places far away from where the emissions began.

【1】Global warming will lead to________.

A．higher sea levels

B．a good harvest

C．a changeable economy

D．greenhouse gases

【2】The reason for not knowing an accurate change in the temperature is that________.

A．the scientists haven’t found a way to measure it

B．the temperature is so changeable that we can not measure it

C．the scientists are not sure about the number of the greenhouse gases that will be emitted

D．there have been few changes in recent years

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The whole planet will become warmer and warmer.

B．The mixed air will stay in the same place.

C．The biggest changes always happen in the cities which are the biggest emitters.

D．It is possible that greenhouse gases will have effects on faraway places.

28、While many countries love their tea, UK citizens are particularly proud of being “tea people”. The average UK citizen consumes nearly 2 kilograms of tea each year.

Tea only made its way to England in large quantities in the first years of the 17th century. Tea from China and a few other Asian countries was being sold more widely in England at that time. Then tea was getting more and more popular among different social classes.

There are many varieties of tea. Black tea mixtures are still the most common type drunk in the UK. Black tea is dark in colour, because the leaves have been allowed to oxidize (氧化) before drying. This is why we usually serve it with milk, although it is not uncommon to drink it black or with lemon. You may still find tea made with loose tea leaves, served up in a pot, and poured into the best china cups with saucers (茶托) for visitors.

Tea is still a large part of daily life in the UK today, but it seems to be on the decrease. The amount of tea sold in the UK fell by more than 10% in the five years leading up to 2002, and has been dropping ever since. Tea sales fell by 6% in 2014 alone, and most restaurants report selling more than twice as many cups of coffee as they do tea. More than ￡1 billion was spent on coffee in high street stores in 2013, more than twice what was spent on tea bags.

Still, what goes around comes around; it’s sure to become fashionable again.

【1】Which of the following is true according to the first three paragraphs?

A．Tea made its way to England in the early years of the 16th century.

B．The UK usually serves black tea with lemon.

C．Tea from China was being sold more widely in England now.

D．UK citizens take pride in being “tea people”.

【2】What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?

A．Tea sales fell by 6% in 2014 alone.

B．Since 2002, the sales of tea has been on the decrease.

C．In 2013, the money spent on tea was ￡3 billion.

D．Most restaurant like selling tea than coffee.

【3】What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?

A．It can never succeed again

B．The tea can become popular again.

C．Coffee is more popular than tea

D．The tea is becoming less popular.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To introduce tea in the UK.

B．To show the author’s preference for tea.

C．To introduce the functions of tea.

D．To compare tea in China and UK.

29、We went to the T. B. Blackstone Library, not far from Lake Michigan. You could easily miss the building if you didn’t know what you were looking for. But once you were inside, you could never mistake it for anything else. We passed through two sets of heavy brass doors to the lobby of the library. And if we turned right then, we could see an alcove with tables; this led, in turn, to a big reading room with a gigantic and ancient globe that sat in front of the largest windows. I liked to look at Africa, with the coded colours of the different countries like the Belgian Congo and Rhodesia, and try to remember which countries were fighting to be free just as we were struggling for civil rights. I had heard Daddy talking about the struggle, arguing with the television as someone discussed it on a news show.

One Saturday, as I wandered through the young adult section, I saw a title: Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott. I could tell from looking at the shelf that she'd written a lot of books, but I didn't know anything about her. I had learned from experience that titles weren't everything. A book that sounded great on the shelf could be dull once you got it home, and every bad book I brought home meant one less book to read until we went back in two weeks. So I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim the first paragraphs:

"Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents," grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.

"It’s so dreadful to be poor!" sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress.

"I don't think it’s fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all," added little Amy, with an injured sniff.

"We’ve got Father and Mother and each other," said Beth contentedly from her corner.

It was a good thing I’d already decided on some other books to take home, because I didn’t look through the rest of the section that day. I read and read and read Little Women until it was time to walk home, and, except for a few essential interruptions like sleeping and eating, I would not put it down until the end. Even the freedom to watch weekend television held no appeal for me in the wake of Alcott’s story. It was about girls, for one thing, girls who could almost be like me, especially Jo. It seemed to me a shame that she wasn't Black; then our similarity would be complete. She loved to read, she loved to make up plays, she hated acting ladylike, and she had a dreadful temper. I had found a kindred spirit.

A．He was uncomfortable discussing politics with his children.

B．He had strong feelings about the Civil Rights movement.

C．He did not approve of most news covered on TV.

30、When I first entered university my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was ________to see that it was an English- English dictionary, also known as a monolingual (只用一种语言的) dictionary. __________it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one, ________to be honest, I found it extremely _________to use at first.

Keeping fit-or maybe getting in shape-is often high on the list of New Year’s resolutions for Americans. In the past two decades, fitness has become a fashion. Many Americans have joined health clubs to work out with 【4】 equipment. Sports stores sell sports shoes and clothing for every possible exercise 【5】. People can even buy weights and equipment and set up their own exercise center at home!

Statistics give health experts good reason to be disappointed. Americans exercise less than they used to. The number of people taking part in fitness activities 【6】 from 41.7 million in 1991 to only 32 million in 1993. Among high school students, only 37 percent 【7】 three times per week. However, 70 percent of teenagers watch at least an hour of TV every day, and 38 percent watch over three hours. As a result, the 【8】 American gained eight pounds during the 1980s. At least one-third of Americans weigh 20 percent more than their ideal weight.

Still, by many 【9】, Americans enjoy good health. Medical care in the United States, while expensive, is among the best in the world. The U. S. Government 【10】 strict food inspections to ensure that food is of the highest quality. Food producers must label products accurately. Many resources, such as magazines, TV programs and even the Internet, allow people to find out how to improve their health. Americans know how to make themselves more healthy. They just need to do it.
