You wont be for long. Miamis Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too.In Shantzis Hi-Rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated. The system, which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use, enables glass, plastic, paper, metal, and other rubbish to go into separate boxes. The system is controlled from a board next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recycling materials (as well as for unrecyclables). At the press of a button, a microputer locks all other floors chute door and sets the recycling container turning until the right box es under the chute. The puter also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the nonrecyclables.Sorting(分类) recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting. Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive, so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted. Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials bee more cost-effective.21. The purpose in writing this text is _.A. to encourage people to recycle their rubbishB. to introduce a recycling system for high risesC. to describe the use of puter technology in recyclingD. to explain the need for rubbish collection in high rises22. Before dropping rubbish into the chute you have to _.A. lock the other floors chute doorsB. check if the container is fullC. press the correct buttonD. break up the rubbish23. The biggest advantage of this new system is that _.A. it reduces the cost of recyclingB. it saves time and spaceC. it saves money for people living in high risesD. it makes better use of the existing recovery equipmentB Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father. But, Dad, you cant be healthy if youre dead.Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt-a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why.There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most mon.Myth Number One: Its best to be thrown clear of a serious accident.Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to throw you clear is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are youll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃) or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are thrown clear.Myth Number Two: Safety belts trap people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.Myth Number Three: Safety belts arent needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour.Truth: when two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.24. The reason Father was in a hurry to get home was that he _.A. wasnt feeling very well B. hated to drive in the darkC. wanted to take some exerciseD. didnt want to be caught by the police25. According to the text, to be thrown clear of a serious accident is very dangerous because you _. A. may be knocked down by other carsB. may get seriously hurt being thrown out of the carC. may find it impossible to get away from the seatD. may get caught in the car door26. Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe _.A. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accidentB. they will be unable to think clearly in an accidentC. they will be caught when help esD. cars catch fire easily27. What is the advice given in the text?A. Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.B. Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.C. Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.D. Drive slowly while youre not wearing a safety belt. C When Andrea Peterson landed her first teaching job, she faced the daunting task of creating a music program with almost no money for equipment or supplies in a climate where standards-based learning was the focus and music just provided a break for students and teachers. For her drive and creativity in overing those challenges, shes been named national teacher of the year. Principal Waynes Kettler said hes worked with many outstanding teachers in his 22 years as an educator, but Peterson is “just that one step above anybody Ive ever worked with before.”Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music. When students were reading S.E. Hintons novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom, Peterson helped them write a 30-minute play with scenes from the book. Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused on race, equality and social justice, the themes of the book. Peterson posed two other songs herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book.The honor means a lot to residents of Granite Falls. Its inspiring to know that people from small towns can even win national honors. As national teacher of the year, Peterson will spend the next year outside the classroom, as a national and international spokeswoman for education. Not surprisingly, she is a big believer in the value of arts education. She said its essential for schools to offer classes such as art or music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects is the only thing that motivates them to e back to school day after day. 28The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 1 most probably means _. Aunbearable Bdiscouraging Cinteresting Dcreative 29What is the most important reason that Peterson won the award? AShe motivated students to learn music with her creativity. BShe concerned herself with current social problems. CShe has taught music at the elementary school for 22 years. DShe made great efforts to amuse students interest in literature. 30Which of the following is an example of Petersons way of teaching music? AShe wrote plays on themes of race, equality and social justice. BShe organized classroom discussions of Broadway tunes. CShe made use of the contents of other classes in her teaching. DShe helped students pose songs by themselves. 31In Petersons opinion, _. Astudents should be motivated to attend art classes Bart, music and PE classes are all important Cmore subjects should be offered to students Darts education is more important than other subjects32It can be inferred from the text that _. APeterson will change her profession next year BPetersons honor was a surprise for the local people CPetersons art classes attracted students back to school DPeterson aroused the local residents passion for music D Sports shoes that work out whether their owner has done enough exercise to warrant time in front of the television have been devised in the UK. The shoes named Square Eyes contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny puter chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the days efforts. The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University to London, UK. “We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,” she says. “And I wanted to tackle that with my design.” Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps. Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the remended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time. Existing pedometers（计步器）normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. “It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort,” she says. “That was one of my main design considerations.” 33Which of the following is true of Square Eyes shoes? AThey contain information of the receiver. BThey have raised the hot issue of overweight. CThey regulate a childs evening TV viewing time. DThey determine a childs daily pocket money. 34What is stressed by health experts in their suggestion? AThe way of changing steps into TV watching time. BThe exact number of steps to be taken. CThe precise number of hours spent on TV. DThe proper amount of daily exercise and TV time. 35Which of the following would be the best title for the text? ASmart Shoes Stop Childhood OverweightBSmart Shoes Decide on Television Time CSmart Shoes Guarantee More Exercise DSmart Shoes Measure Time of Exercise 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The holidays are upon us.
