This report will examine this problem and provide ways to solve it.We live in a society that is producing and using electronics (电子产品) all the time. It is often cheaper to buy new products than to repair old ones. Also, through clever advertising, companies always encourage people to change their old TVs, mobile phones and computers for the latest models. E-waste is created when we throw away old one. In the EU alone, about 9000, 000 tons of e-waste is produced each year. Sadly, just over 1, 000, 000 tons is recycled. 8,000, 000 tons is burnt.Burying (填埋) e-waste or burning it causes serious problems for the environment. Electronics have dangerous things in them. These things can then get into the ground or pollute the air when they are burnt.In recent years, _. However, their plans are not always managed properly. Sometimes electronics are just sent to poor countries such as Ghana. There they are often burnt in public areas, which is very bad for peoples health. Setting up recycling centers is a good way to solve this problem. E-recycling centers could recycle the parts that can be reused and deal with the rest properly.Another way is to make producers responsible (负责任) for their used products. This means producers must take back old products which are no longer wanted. They should then make sure they are properly recycled or reused.As for us, we should try to cut down on e-waste. Change electronics only when we have to. And dont buy a product just to have the latest model.E-waste is a serious problem in the modem world. Both producers and users must take action and try to keep it to the smallest amount.21 . According to the passage, it is often _ to repair old ones than to buy new electronics.Amore expensiveBmore difficultCcheaperDworse22 . In the EU, about _ of the e-waste is recycled each year.A1/3B1/9C1/8D1/723 . Which of the following is the best for the blank in Paragraph 4? _Athe e-waste problem has been solvedBthe e-waste problem continues growingCmany countries have started recycling e-wasteDpeople havent realized the e-waste problem yet24 . You can probably read the passage in a (an) _.Ascience magazineBdictionaryCadvertisementDGuidebook阅读理解Students who get tired of looking at the four walls of a classroom might like to take the nature course being offered by Carvel College again this summer. Groups of about a dozen students each, led by an experienced guide, will go on ten-day camping trips to the mountains to study the plants and animals that grow and live there.Students carry their own things, which includes sleeping bags, warm clothing, food and water, and other useful tools. And what do the students do all day? Well, as soon as the sun comes up, they eat breakfast and start climbing up the mountain trail to the next campground, which is five to ten miles away. As the students take notes, the guide points out different plants and animals alongside the trail. The climb is usually over by early afternoon, so the group spends the rest of the day resting or swimming in a mountain lake. Before dinner each night, they all come together and discuss the days activities.At the end of the course, the students write reports using the information they have collected. But they dont mind at all. What they do mind is leaving the beauty of the wilderness and the good friends theyve made to return to their normal lives in the city.25 .

From the last paragraph we know the students are_.Aserious with the final reportBunwilling to go back to the cityClooking forward to returning homeDtoo tired to stay in the course any longerToday, more than half of the world owns a smart phone. Yet connectivity to the Internet can still be expensive. This can be a problem for both travelers and local residents (居民) who want to connect for freewherever they go. The Internet not only allows for communication, it provides access to information, jobs, and education. Furthermore, today people are accessing (使用) more data more frequently from smart phones,and laptops. Not only does free Wi-Fi drive economic development by increasing businesses and attracting tourism, it also provides online connectivity that many cannot afford.In the United States, many cities, including New York and San Francisco, have provided free public connectivity. Even smaller cities like Amherst, Massachusetts are offering free Wi-Fi. Municipalities (市政府)across the U.S. must work toward setting up necessary Wi-Fi hotspots in public areas. In todays society, such a move makes sense for a number of reasons.First, free public Wi-Fi leads to a well-connected, technologically advanced city and drives economic development. Connectivity provides access to information about local businessmen and government services. Moreover, it gives businesses greater opportunities for productivity, cooperation, and reforms. Free public Wi-Fi is also an attractive draw for tourists. Mary Bohlen, Administrative Services Director in Berlin, Maryland, stands by her towns decision to offer free Wi-Fi. “I think its been positively received, both by the businesses and visitors.” Bohlen believes the service makes the town visitor-friendly.Second, many people believe Internet access should be a public service. Cell phone contracts and data allowances can be expensive and some people cant afford them. Free municipal Wi-Fi is helpful to thosewith fewer resources (资源); Internet access opens the door to a world of information and opportunity, whichincludes health advice, job openings, and online education. So Many people who support equal opportunity are in favor of municipal Wi-Fi.On a personal level, parents desire free public Wi-Fi so their children can stay connected and, more importantly, safe. As children gain independence, many have cell phones to remain in touch with their parents. Some of those children have phone plans with limited minutes; some may have devices that require Wi-Fi connectivity. There are potential safety risks if these kids are left without access. For instance, imagine if some middle schoolers got injured while hanging out downtown. Should the children not have Internet connectivity to contact their parents, their health could be placed in serious danger.The bottom line is that online connectivity is necessary in todays high-tech society. Whether viewed as a public service or as a way to develop the local economy, people expect new technology on the go. Travelers, business owners, and local residents should be able to rely on the local government to help them stay connected.30 . Bohlen believes free Wi-Fi can .Ahelp businesses know fewer peopleBencourage kids to hang out more downtownCreduce the time of using smart phonesDmake travelers to the town feel more welcome31 . What is the purpose of writing the passage?ATo support that low-income residents should be given free smart phones.BTo argue that free Wi-Fi in cities benefits residents and the local development.CTo persuade parents that children should have phone plans with unlimited hours.DTo explain that small businesses are more likely to fail without access to free Wi-Fi.32 . What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?AFree Wi-Fi helps those with fewer resources get online.BFree Wi-Fi makes it convenient for people to stay connected.CFree Wi-Fi allows for communication as well as job opportunities.DFree Wi-Fi helps economic development and attracts more tourists.There was once a little orphan (孤儿) girl who had no family and no one to love her. She felt sad and lonely.One day, while she was walking in a garden, she noticed a small butterfly caught in a thornbush (荆棘丛). The more the butterfly tried to free itself, the deeper the thorn cut into its body. The girl carefully helped the butterfly out. Instead of flying away, the little butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy (仙女).“For your wonderful kindness,” said the fairy, “I will grant (保证) you any wish you like.”The little girl thought for a while and replied: “I want to be happy!”“Very well!” The fairy leaned toward her and whispered (耳语) in her ear. Then the good fairy disappeared.As the little girl grew up, she stayed happy. Everyone asked her the secret of her happiness. She would only smile and answer: “The secret of happiness is that I listened to a good fairy when I was a little girl.”When she was very old and on her deathbed, her neighbors were afraid that her secret of happiness would die “Tell us, please,” they begged. “Tell us what the good fairy said.”vwith her.The lovely old woman simply smiled and said: “She told me that everyone, no matter how secure (安稳的) they seemed, how old or young, how rich or poor, had need of me.”33 . What happened when the butterfly tried to free itself from the thornbush?AIt saved itself.BIt got cut deeper.CIt got tired.DIt was killed.34 . Why did the fairy grant the little girl a wish?ABecause the girl begged her to do so.BBecause it was the fairys job.CBecause the girl helped her out.DBecause the girl was too poor.35 .
