If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of the city to a dump(垃圾站). Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs(澡盆) and other places.To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then youd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus(腐殖土), which looks like black earth. It is rich with kinds of things that feed plants and help make them grow. （1）You can most probably read the passage in _.A . a history bookB . a TV guideC . a science bookD . a telephone book（2）The underlined word “sewage” in the passage means_.A . 排污B . 染色C . 洗涤D . 吸尘（3）How should we take care of a used metal box according to the passage?A . By burning it off.B . By putting it in waterC . By throwing it awayD . By reusing and recycling it.14. （8分）One day when some government officials(官员) were building a barn(谷仓), they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to make the mice inside the hole come out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing(挤)out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they didnt run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other.Everyone was puzzled(困惑), so they stepped near to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and couldnt see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape.After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.One serious American official said, “I think the relationship between those mice was that of king and guard(卫兵).” The other thought for a while and said, “That is why!”A smart Frenchman said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.” Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense.A Japanese said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.” Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed(表达) agreement another time.At that moment, one Chinese asked, “Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?”Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and stayed speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame(羞愧), and did not dare to answer.In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty(忠诚) or blood relationship.Instead, it is based on no relationship.（1）Neither of the two mice ran away immediately because _.A . one was biting the otherB . the mouth of the hole was too smallC . they were not afraid of smokeD . one was trying to help the blind one（2）Why did the officials lower their heads in shame according to the passage?A .

They didnt express themselves much better.（3）It is clear that _.A . all the mice came out of the hole easilyB . each of the people understood the relationship differentlyC . the people wanted to kill the mice with smokeD . the people knew one of the mice was blind at first（4）The words “it made sense” probably mean _A . it was correctB . it was strangeC . it was funnyD . was sweety（5）The best title for the passage is _.A . Two Lovely MiceB . Help Produces LoveC . Love Is AllD . Friends in Need15. （8分） Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, Happiness depends upon (取决于)ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions（建议） to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future. For example, getting into college or getting a good job that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy lifes simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.（1）The best title of the passage is_.A . Money Makes You HappyB . The Secrets of HappinessC . Ideas for Helping Other People to Be HappyD . Good Friends Make You Happy（2）The passage gives us _pieces of advice on happiness.A . oneB . twoC . threeD . four（3）The writer thinks that_.A . everyone knows how to live a happier lifeB . its wrong to spend time on workC . hobbies take up too much timeD . doing good things for someone can make you happier（4）Which of the following is not mentioned（提及）in the passage?A . Reading a good book.B . Traveling to a foreign country.C . Playing a sport.D . Spending time with close friends.16. （8分）阅读理解(A)A good way to pass an exam is to work hard every day in the year.
