一、阅读理解
A
“What kind of rubbish are you?” This question might normally cause anger,but in Shanghai it has become a special “greeting” among people over the past week.On July 1st,the city introduced strict trash-sorting regulations(条例)that are required to follow and expected to be used as a model for our country.Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss (投放) it into specific public dustbins.They must do so at specified times,when monitors are present to ensure correct trash-tossing and to ask the nature of one’s rubbish.Individuals who fail to follow the regulations face the possibility of fines and worse.They could be punished with fines of up to 200 yuan ($ 29).For those who repeat to go against them,the government can add black marks to their credit records,making it harder for them to get bank loans or even buy train tickets.
Shanghai government is responding to an obvious environmental problem.It generates 9 million tons of garbage a year,more than London’s annual output,which is rising quickly.But like other cities in China,it lacks a recycling system.Instead,it has relied on trash pickers to sift(筛选)through the waste,picking out whatever can be reused.This has limits.As people get wealthier,fewer of them want to do such dirty work.The waste,meanwhile,just keeps piling up.
Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are annoyed by the details.Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food,recyclable,dry or harmful,the distinctions among which can be confusing,though there are apps to help work it out.Some have complained about the rules concerning food waste.They must put it straight in the required public bins,forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand.What they complain most is the short periods for dropping trash,typically a couple of hours,morning and evening.Along with the monitors at the bins,this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out;no one wants to look bad.
1.What do we know about the trash-sorting regulations in Shanghai?
A.They are the first of their kind.
B.They are tied to one’s bank account.
C.They have the highest fines.
D.They’re aided by monitors.
2.Why has Shanghai introduced the trash-sorting regulations?
A.There are fewer and fewer trash pickers.
B.It aims to build a new recycling system.
C.It faces more and more serious garbage problems.
D.People throw the rubbish here and there.
3.What makes the residents upset most about the regulations?
A.Limited time for tossing the trash.
B.Confusing distinctions among the categories of trash.
C.Being fined due to improper behavior.
D.Being watched by monitors when throwing the garbage.
4.What can be the best title for the text?
A.A Good Way of Trash-sorting
B.A New Era of Garbage Classification
C.A Great Time in Dealing with Litter
D.An Effective Solution to Rubbish Problem

When photographer Simon Czapp took pictures of a curious five-month-old fox,he soon realized this little fox was attracted by his subject.The clever fox was so curious about the camera equipment that she climbed on top of it.And while she was supposed to be the subject of the shoot,the fox stood on the shutter release button(快门按钮) and took her own frames.
Mr Czapp visited the New Forest Wildlife Park to capture images of new arrival Jessie.Jessie is a lovely little fox.She has been at the animal park in Ashurst,Hampshire—home to wolves,deer and others in 25 acres of ancient woodland after being abandoned by her mother.
Mr Czapp said,“Jessie was very playful and curious and not shy at all in front of the camera.Soon after I arrived she was chewing my shoes and everything seemed to be a game to her.Then she started exploring the camera I had set up on a tripod(三脚架).She stood on her back legs to look at the back of the camera.She balanced her front paws on it and at one point knocked it over.”
He put the camera back on the tripod and Jessie soon jumped back up.At one point she had all four paws on the camera and was keeping her balance.Mr Czapp added,“She jumped up there several times and I realized it could make a good picture.As I was leaving away with the public’s viewing window(取景窗) behind me,I thought I heard the camera go off but didn’t think much of it.However,when I checked the memory card afterwards,I was amazed to see Jessie had actually taken two frames of me photographing her.I couldn’t believe I had been outfoxed(智取) by a fox! There were some lovely photos of her but she obviously thought the photographer was worthy of a picture too! ”

Since the first Earth Day in 1970,Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment.“We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment,let alone that there was a problem with it,”says Bruce Anderson,president of Earth Day USA.
But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement.Business people,political leaders,university professors,and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement.“The understanding has increased many,many times,”says Gaylord Nelson,the former governor from Wisconsin,who thought up the first Earth Day.
According to US government reports,emissions(排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons.The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9.Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with,the world is a safer and healthier place.A kind of “green thinking” has become part of practices.
Great improvement has been achieved.In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs;today in 1995 there are about 6,600.Advanced lights,motors,and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.
Twenty-five years ago,there were hardly any education programs for environment.Today,it’s hard to find a public school,university,or law school that does not have such a kind of program.“Until we do that,nothing else will change!”say Bruce Anderson.
9.According to Bruce Anderson,before 1970,Americans had little idea about .
A.the social movement
B.recycling techniques
C.environmental problems
D.the importance of Earth Day
10.Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?
A.The grass-roots level.
B.The business circle.
C.Government officials.
D.University professors.
11.What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?
A.They have cut car emissions to the lowest.
B.They have settled their environmental problems.
C.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.
D.They have reduced pollution through effective measures.
12.What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?
A.Education. B.Planning.
C.Green living. D.CO reduction.
二、七选五
As we “happen to be” the best creature in the world,it’s our duty to look after other species.Here are some points which might help to protect wildlife.
Join organisations like Greenpeace and World Wildlife Fund.They have devoted themselves to protecting the earth and its animals.Many volunteers join organisations like these and work for the environment. 1
2 Don’t buy anything made from ivory(象牙) or things like this.Baby seals(海豹) are hunted for their skin,as it is used to make expensive coats.Don’t buy them.
3 You can write a heartfelt and logical letter to the government,stating your ideas about this problem and how it can be solved.
Recycle and reuse.It will reduce the need to have more raw materials to produce something. 4 And wild animals’ home will not be destroyed.
Governments should create more safe zones and national parks for wild animals. 5 Governments should apply strict laws to stop hunting.
I hope you find this post helpful.Share your views about this issue and let your voice be heard.

“What kind of rubbish are you?” This question might normally cause anger,but in Shanghai it has become a special “greeting” among people over the past week.On July 1st,the city introduced strict trash-sorting regulations(条例)that are required to follow and expected to be used as a model for our country.Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss (投放) it into specific public dustbins.They must do so at specified times,when monitors are present to ensure correct trash-tossing and to ask the nature of one’s rubbish.Individuals who fail to follow the regulations face the possibility of fines and worse.They could be punished with fines of up to 200 yuan ($ 29).For those who repeat to go against them,the government can add black marks to their credit records,making it harder for them to get bank loans or even buy train tickets.
Shanghai government is responding to an obvious environmental problem.It generates 9 million tons of garbage a year,more than London’s annual output,which is rising quickly.But like other cities in China,it lacks a recycling system.Instead,it has relied on trash pickers to sift(筛选)through the waste,picking out whatever can be reused.This has limits.As people get wealthier,fewer of them want to do such dirty work.The waste,meanwhile,just keeps piling up.
Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are annoyed by the details.Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food,recyclable,dry or harmful,the distinctions among which can be confusing,though there are apps to help work it out.Some have complained about the rules concerning food waste.They must put it straight in the required public bins,forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand.What they complain most is the short periods for dropping trash,typically a couple of hours,morning and evening.Along with the monitors at the bins,this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out;no one wants to look bad.
1.What do we know about the trash-sorting regulations in Shanghai?
A.They are the first of their kind.
B.They are tied to one’s bank account.
C.They have the highest fines.
D.They’re aided by monitors.

D.People throw the rubbish here and there.
3.What makes the residents upset most about the regulations?
A.Limited time for tossing the trash.
B.Confusing distinctions among the categories of trash.

4.What can be the best title for the text?

When photographer Simon Czapp took pictures of a curious five-month-old fox,he soon realized this little fox was attracted by his subject.The clever fox was so curious about the camera equipment that she climbed on top of it.And while she was supposed to be the subject of the shoot,the fox stood on the shutter release button(快门按钮) and took her own frames.

He put the camera back on the tripod and Jessie soon jumped back up.At one point she had all four paws on the camera and was keeping her balance.Mr Czapp added,“She jumped up there several times and I realized it could make a good picture.As I was leaving away with the public’s viewing window(取景窗) behind me,I thought I heard the camera go off but didn’t think much of it.However,when I checked the memory card afterwards,I was amazed to see Jessie had actually taken two frames of me photographing her.I couldn’t believe I had been outfoxed(智取) by a fox!

Since the first Earth Day in 1970,Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment.“We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment,let alone that there was a problem with it,”says Bruce Anderson,president of Earth Day USA.
But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement.Business people,political leaders,university professors,and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement.“The understanding has increased many,many times,”says Gaylord Nelson,the former governor from Wisconsin,who thought up the first Earth Day.
According to US government reports,emissions(排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons.The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9.Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with,the world is a safer and healthier place.A kind of “green thinking” has become part of practices.
Great improvement has been achieved.In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs;today in 1995 there are about 6,600.Advanced lights,motors,and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.
Twenty-five years ago,there were hardly any education programs for environment.Today,it’s hard to find a public school,university,or law school that does not have such a kind of program.“Until we do that,nothing else will change!”say Bruce Anderson.
9.According to Bruce Anderson,before 1970,Americans had little idea about .
A.the social movement
B.recycling techniques
C.environmental problems
D.the importance of Earth Day
10.Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?
A.The grass-roots level.
B.The business circle.
C.Government officials.
D.University professors.
11.What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?
A.They have cut car emissions to the lowest.
B.They have settled their environmental problems.
C.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.
D.They have reduced pollution through effective measures.
12.What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?
A.Education. B.Planning.
C.Green living. D.CO reduction.
