三、阅读理解
When it comes to recycling the household waste, people have done it for about two decades. However, there’s still some confusion about what can and what can’t be recycled. With advances in technology, there are more things that can be recycled.
COFFEE PODS(咖啡包)
On average, Australians are using more than three million coffee pods per day, and about 1.5 million households have coffee machines. While the pods are disastrous for the environment, they can still be recycled. Nespresso has a free post-back program and drop-off points run by TerraCycle, so you can take the pods and directly drop off at Nespresso stores.
LIGHT BULBS
Rather than throwing light bulbs into the bin, some councils run specific recycling stations, which allow you to drop off these kinds of items. If you do regularly recycle household glass, remember all glass should be washed and have lids removed.
PIZZA BOXES
Normally, pizza boxes don’t make it into recycling because they’re covered in grease(油脂)and leftover bits of cheese. When a pizza box is too greasy, it won’t be made into a recycling processing plant. If possible, remove as much of the leftovers as you can before recycling. If the pizza box can’t be recycled, tear off the lid which can still be recycled.
HOUSEHOLD BATTERIES
Household batteries can also be recycled. Batteries that do end up in landfills can cause a serious problem to the environment as they can release poisonous chemicals into the soil which are harmful to both humans and animals. Button-cell batteries, which are used in hearing aids and watches, can also be recycled.
36、Why does TerraCycle run the free post-back program and drop-off points
A. To produce the best coffee.
B. To recycle coffee pods effectively.
C. To encourage people to drink coffee.
D. To offer some families coffee machines.
37、What needs to be done when recycling household glass
A. Clean it with water. B. Send it to the nearby store.
C. Pack it well with paper. D. Keep the lid of the glass closed.
38、What should people do first to recycle pizza boxes
A. Put them in recycling stations.
B. Fold them carefully and neatly.
C. Tear the whole boxes into pieces.
D. Clear the leftovers as much as possible.
39、What can we know about batteries from Paragraph 5
A. They can produce harmful materials.
B. They will take a long time to be recycled.
C. Battery recycling can bring economic benefits.
D. Different batteries have different recycling stations.
40、What is the theme of the passage
A. Creative ideas. B. Daily necessities.
C. Technical advances. D. Environmental protection.
A job is more than just a job, especially to the older generation. “It’s not the money that matters, but the sense of self worth,” 56 year old Cheng Wonlan said. So, every day Ms Cheng carries a bag of parcels, letters and documents of all shapes and sizes and does her rounds in North Point. She’s a courier (快递人员).
Five years ago, Ms Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic. She had worked there for almost 30 years but was made jobless when the doctor migrated. It was extremely difficult for her to find another job. “People do not trust my ability when they learn how old I am,” she said. After two years of searching, the mother of two eventually found another nursing job. But then after two years, she quit. Why
“My colleagues were young and they didn’t understand me because of my age. They often asked me, ‘You are so old; what are you working for ’ I was very unhappy.” she said. So while the rest of her family left for work, she was left to lonely boredom at home. The urge to work drove her to suffering. Then, one of Ms Cheng’s neighbours told her about Employee’s Retraining Board (ERB) offering retraining courses for older people on specific occupations, such as convenience store assistants, junior clerks and so on.
“I was interested in courier work. I didn’t think my age was a barrier because I was fit and healthy. So I thought why not give it a try.” she said. Upon graduation from the ERB, Ms Cheng was offered a job by the Speeding Shuttle Courier Service Company Limited. But then Ms Cheng was faced with a conflict: she was caught between honour and employment. It took Ms Cheng 24 hours to make up her mind and eventually came to the conclusion that there was nothing wrong or embarrassing about doing the job. So she took heart and went off to work as a courier.
Ms Cheng’s employer is delighted with her, “Ms Cheng has been working with us for two months and has shown a good responsible attitude to work.” Anthony Chong, who runs the company, said. Currently, Mr. Chong has 60 couriers working for his company: five of them are over fifty, four of whom have been through the ERB plan. Mr. Chong said he hired older people because they were able and reliable. “Age is not an important factor but attitude is. Many old people are more capable than the youngsters. They will not run from difficulties but the young ones will.” he said. “It is not easy to recruit young people since they shy away from hardship and challenges.”
41、Why was it difficult for Ms Cheng to find another nursing job
A. Nursing clinics were hard to find.
B. People thought that old people couldn’t be trusted.
C. People thought she was too old to take on a new job.
D. People didn’t think she had enough working experience.
42、Ms Cheng left her second nursing job because _______.
A. the other staff made her feel uncomfortable
B. it was too difficult
C. she was too old to do the job
D. she was bored with changeless jobs
43、Employee’s Retraining Board is a plan for _______.
A. finding jobs for older people
B. teaching new skills to older people
C. training older people to be couriers
D. providing older people with something to do in their spare time
44、According to Anthony Chong, young people _______.
A. are able and reliable
B. are more likely to give up than the older ones
C. are fitter and stronger than the older ones
D. are less experienced than the older ones
45、From the text, we can learn Ms Cheng is _______.
A. capable but stubborn B. purposeful but lazy
C. determined and responsible D. intelligent and confident
British programmer Joshua Browder is helping people save much money on legal fees with his latest project — the world’s first robot lawyer. The 19-year-old first started the project last summer as a free website to help people appeal(诉讼)unfair parking tickets. He came up with the idea after getting a series of tickets himself for unimportant reasons. Having wasted several hours on writing appeals to these tickets, he realized that many people have no time or legal knowledge or even the energy to appeal. So he decided to create an automatic appeal generator, which he named DoNotPay.
DoNotPay was a huge success, and the tech genius has now gone a step further with the website, converting(转变)it into a robot lawyer equipped to help with various legal issues. “The robot can currently handle parking ticket appeals and delayed flights/trains. It can also answer some general legal questions like ‘I can’t afford my ticket. What do I do ’” said Browder.
To use the service, users need to go to the website donotpayco. uk and sign up for free. Once signed in, the robot will ask the user a series of questions about their situation. When it has collected enough information, and if the person has legal grounds(依据)for an appeal, the robot will then generate a letter for the person to use.
Browder said he received good advice from his professors at Stanford University, where he is currently a freshman. “Initially, I thought the best way to go about it was to create lots of individual rules for it to follow,” he explained. “However, I quickly failed with this approach because there are thousands of ways to say the same thing and it would be impossible to catch every one. The breakthrough came when I learned how to create a way for the robot to learn and compare phrases itself, so that it doesn’t matter how the user phrases his or her requests.”
So he programmed the robot to use test comparison that includes keywords, word order and pronouns. And the more people use the robot, the better the algorithm(演算法)gets. But there are situations where the robot can’t help. “If the robot can’t answer, it provides helpful message offering the user some sample phrases or the choice of contacting me directly.” Browder said, “On the backend, whenever the robot can’t answer, I get notified and I work as quickly as possible to add functionality for any future requests of a similar nature.”
46、What made Joshua Browder decide to develop the robot lawyer
A. His interest in law and robot.
B. Being often fined for serious reasons.
C. A waste of much money in appealing.
D. Realizing people’s need to write appeals.
47、According to the text, at present the robot lawyer can _______.
A. teach the users to write a letter of appeal
B. create a computer program to serve its users
C. recommend some useful legal websites to users
D. deal with some common legal issues
48、To use the robot lawyer’s service, a user should first _______.
A. register online B. pay a small amount of money
C. answer the robot’s questions D. provide legal grounds for his appeal
49、What did Browder’s professors advise him to do about his robot
A. Create enough individual rules for it to follow.
B. Teach it to communicate with its users.
C. Enable it to learn and compare phrases on its own.
D. Store enough legal knowledge in it.
50、The underlined word “notified” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “______”.
A. warned B. informed C. convinced D. blamed
Ever seen a great champion boxer like Manny Pacquiao With his speed and power, he has conquered lots of other great boxers of the 21st century. In between fights, he keeps his training and strengthens it when another fight approaches.
Just like a boxer, we too, come face to face with many competitors in the arena (竞技场) of life ― problems and difficulties. The bad news is that we don’t really know when they occur.
Here are several reasons why you should train yourself for success like a champion boxer!
You don’t practice in the arena; that’s where your skills and your abilities are evaluated. This also means that you don’t practice solving problems and developing yourself when problems occur; you prepare yourself to face them long before you actually face them.
Talent is good but training is even better. Back in college, one of my classmates in Political Science didn’t bring any textbook or notebook in our classes. But he was always a top student because he attentively listened and actively participated in discussions. Obviously, he was gifted with a great memory and analytical skills. If you are talented, you maybe need less preparation and training time in facing life’s challenges. But even for people who are talented, training and learning are important, just like my classmate. Avoid the lazy person’s maxim: “If it isn’t broken, why fix it ” Why wait for your roof to leak in the rainy season when you can fix it right away
Training enables you to gain intuition and reflexes. Without training, you will mess up. Without training, you won’t be able to predict how your enemy will hit you. You will lose control of your race car after the first lap. With training, you lower the possibility of these accidents.
Keep in mind that training means self-command and strong will. Even if you meet with some setbacks in your training, if you keep at it and persevere, you will soon see results in your life and when problems come, you will be like the champion boxer who stands tall and fights until the final round is over and you’re proclaimed as the champion!
51、The passage starts with the champion boxer _______.
A. to lead in the topic
B. to explain the skill of boxing
C. to show the speed and power in boxing
D. to illustrate the difference between fights
52、Why does the author mention his classmate
A. To introduce his classmate’s learning methods.
B. To prove an average person doesn’t need more training.
C. To prove even talented people also need training.
D. To show respect for his classmate.
53、According to the passage, we can learn that _______.
A. talented students don’t need training
B. you can get intuition and reflexes naturally
C. training requires strong will and self-control
D. we may increase the possibility of accidents when we get training
54、What can we know from the last paragraph
A. Victory depends on the positive attitude to training.
B. It’s normal to meet with some difficulties in training.
C. Boxers often win the victory by persevering.
D. Perseverance in training is very important.
55、What does the text mainly tell us
A. To become a top boxer isn’t easy.
B. We should train ourselves for success.
C. Life is full of problems and difficulties.
D. Talent is more important than training for success.
Years ago, I took a class on writing for children. In this class, the students turned in a manuscript every week. One week I wrote a story that I really liked. It was about a small boy who was constant(经常地)in trouble. At this point, I made a mistake beginning writers often make. I fell in love with my first draft. I typed it up, and sent the manuscript out to five publishers.
For some reason, the teacher decided to read this story in class. At first, I thought she'd chosen the story because it was so good. But the teacher stopped after the first paragraph and pointed out the problems. The characters were flat, and the plot wasn't logical(合逻辑的). She couldn't find one good thing to say. I wanted to hide myself. How could I have been stupid enough to think the story was good After that, I dropped out of the class.
As the weeks went by, one by one, all the manuscripts came back. Only one copy never came back, and I figured it had been lost in the mail. I decided that, based on what my teacher said, the story was a loser. I was not made for writing. A year later, I got a call from the fifth publisher. An editor had read my story and wanted to publish it! I put down the phone and danced around the room. The publisher, Follett, did publish my book, The Grumpus Under the Rug. It has sold more than 40,000 copies.
So who was right Did the teacher have a point Well, yes, because the characters were flat. Was the editor who took the story wrong to publish it Well, no, because, despite its shortcomings, the story did have kid appeal. Stories are like people, and they are imperfect. You have to find a way to believe in yourself, even if others don't. You may think successful writers have some special talent that allows them to avoid all this heartbreak. They don't. They just stick with their own dreams.
56、What does the underlined word probably mean in Paragraph 2 (1 word)
57、What was the author considering doing before getting the editor's call (no more than 5 words)
58、What did the fifth publisher think of the author's story (no more than 10 words)
