Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of panies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw material for new products, but because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound end up buried in landfills(垃圾填埋场). The problem was not limited to New York. Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second-hand plastic.Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of panies across the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence post, paint brushes, etc.As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish. A discard remains a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second life and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value. Without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for recycling, throwaways actually depress prices for used materials.Shrinking landfill space and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste-management option. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to savings of more than $100 per ton. Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and reduces the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.6. What regulation was issued by New York State concerning beverage containers?A. A fee should be charged on used containers for recycling.B. Throwaways should be collected by the state for recycling.C.

But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51yearold owner of a ship supply pany modified a small wooden house that hed built years earlier for daughter Abbies toy horses, and made a door of glass.After adding the librarys final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book，” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.They stocked it with 20 or so books theyd already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again，” said Janey, a stayathome mom.Since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.The projects best payoff, says Peter, are the thankyou notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.” 文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。介绍了Little Free Library这家图书馆的由来及其发展。16In what way is the library “pedestrianfriendly”？AIt owns a yellow roof.BIt stands near a sidewalk.CIt protects book lovers from the sun.DIt uses palmtree stickers as decorations.答案：B细节理解题。文章第一段信息its pedestrianfriendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach country Estates表明这家图书馆是方便到达的，他就在人行道一侧等待读书爱好者。17Janey got the idea to build a library from _.Aa visit to Brian WilliamsBa spring break with her familyCa book sent by one of her neighborsDa report on a Wisconsinbased organization答案：D细节理解题。Janey Henriksen读了Brian Williams关于Little Free Library organization(一个威斯康辛州的非盈利组织)的报告，该组旨在促进文学，通过在社区提供可得到的免费书籍，普及这项文学意识)的一篇报告后，对家人说那就是春假期间他们一家四口要做的事。D项正确。18The library was built _.Aby a ship supply panyBon the basis of toy horsesClike a mailboxDwith glass答案：C细节理解题。第四段首句Son Austin, now a 10thgrader, didnt see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox.表明这个“图书馆”像个“邮箱”。19What can we infer about the signboard?AIt was made by a user of the library.BIt marked a final touch to the library.CIt aimed at making the library last long.DIt indicated the library was a family property.答案：C推理判断题。A它是由使用者建造的图书馆；B那标志着对图书馆的最后装点；C那是为了让图书馆延续下去；D那表明这家图书馆是家庭财产。结合第五段信息(尤其是instructing users to “take a book, return a book，” and making the Henriksen library)可知C项正确。20The passage tells us that the users _.Adonate books to the libraryBget paid to collect books for the libraryCreceive thankyou notes for using the libraryDvisit the library over 5 times on average daily答案：A细节理解题。倒数第二段表明，多亏了来自借阅者们不断的图书捐赠，图书供给得以补充，因此现在图书馆平均每天有5次借阅量。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。(xx陕西，A)Joshua, Helmut, and Bethlehem Michelle O.

The stationary probe will use its robotic arm to dig into the icy land and pick up soil samples to analyze. In 2002, the Mars Odyssey orbiter spotted evidence of ice-rich soil near the arctic surface. Scientists hope the Phoenix mission will find clues to the geologic history of water on the Red Planet and determine whether microbes existed in the ice.Phoenix will be the first mission of the Mars Scout program, a renewed, low-cost effort to study the Red Planet. “The Phoenix mission explores new territory in the northern plains of Mars analogous to the permafrost regions on Earth,” Peter Smith said. True to its name, Phoenix rose from the ashes of previous missions. The lander for Phoenix was built to fly as part of the 2001 Mars Surveyor program. But the program broke down after the well-known disappearance of the Mars Polar Lander in 1999. The Polar Lander lost contact during a landing attempt near the planets south pole after its rocket engine shut off prematurely, causing the spacecraft to fall about 130 feet to almost certain destruction. The Phoenix probe had been in storage at a Lockheed Martin clean room in Denver before it was reused for its present mission. It will carry science instruments that were designed for the Mars Surveyor program including an improved panoramic camera and a trench-digging robotic arm. Phoenix will lift off from the Kennedy Space Center in August xx and land on the planet nine months later.11. The passage mainly tells readers that _. A. clues of water will be found in Phoenix B.
