【題目】Excused from recycling(回收利用)because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute(垃圾滑道)? You_won't_be_for_long. Miami's Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too.

In Shantzis' HiRise Recycling System, a chute leads to pieshaped 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 fixed next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recycling materials(as well as for un-recyclables). At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other floor's chute doors and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute. The computer 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(分類)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 become more costeffective.

【1】The purpose in writing this text is________.

A．to encourage people to recycle their rubbish

B．to introduce a recycling system for high rises

C．to describe the use of computer technology in recycling

D．to explain the need for rubbish collection in high rises

【2】When he says“You won't be for long”the writer means that________.

A．you'll soon be living in a cleaner building

B．rubbish chutes will become out of date before long

C．you won't wait long for your turn to recycle rubbish

D．it won't be long before you'll have to recycle rubbish

【3】Before dropping rubbish into the chute you have to________.

A．lock the other floors' chute doors

B．check if the container is full

C．press the correct button

D．break up the rubbish

【4】The biggest advantage of this new system is that________.

A．it reduces the cost of recycling

B．it saves time and space

C．it saves money for people living in high rises

【題目】I was never neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her projects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both get tired of each other.

War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “ take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.

The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.

Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “thanks.”

Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together; giving in, cleaning up and holding on.

【1】How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?

A. By listing facts. B. By doing comparison

C. By giving examples D. By drawing a conclusion

【2】What made Kate so angry that evening?

A. She got the news that her grandmother was ill.

B. She couldn’t find her shoes.

C. She heard the author shouting loud.

D. She saw the author’s shoes under her bed.

【3】What was the author’s attitude to Kate but for the call?

A. Annoyed B. Envious

C. tolerant D. Sympathetic

【4】What might be the best title for the story?

A. How to be organized B. My Friend Kate

C. Learning to Be Roommates D. Hard Work Pays Off.

When Dan Shaw gets up from the sofa in his home，Cuddles is never far away. When he wants to go outside，he doesn't take Cuddles out for a walkCuddles takes him for a walk.

They are clean, friendly，smart and have great memories. They can be trained to remain calm in noisy and crowded places. Best of all，they live for 25～35 years，which would enable Shaw to have the same guide companion for most or all of his life.

Shaw immediately applied to be and was accepted as the first person to receive a guide horse. The instant he met Cuddles，he knew he was making the right choice. Then he began his training.

Through training，Shaw and Cuddles learned to find their way on busy streets，step over curbs(便道沿兒)and find elevator buttons. Cuddles even demonstrated(顯示)its ability to step in front of Shaw and block him，to prevent him from walking into a dangerous situation. The little horse also expertly led Shaw through busy shopping malls. They got along without any difficulties. Now Shaw is confident that Cuddles will change his life for the better.

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項。

(2012年沈陽模擬) They're so young! What sets apart (區(qū)別) the new TV adaptation (改編) of the classic novel A Dream of Red Mansions is the youthfulness of the players.

The producers made a great effort to bring in young actors. Most of them were born in the late 1980s and 1990s. At the same time, a team of 20somethings was given responsibility for adapting the novel for TV screens.

It is unusual for a director to pick a group of young people with little scriptwriting (寫劇本) experience to take on such a big task. Most would expect the job to be given to more seasoned (經(jīng)驗豐富的) writers.

“I understand why director Li Shaohong has taken this unusual approach，” writes movie critic Raymond Zhou in China Daily. “She wants the drama to resonate (共鳴) with today's young people.”

Besides giving the remake a youthful flavor, Li also wanted to go back to the original. The popular 1986 adaptation left out many important parts of the novel that were considered superstitious (迷信的) back then. For this adaptation Li wanted strict faith to A Dream of Red Mansions, to make sure young audiences will get a real sense of the novel.

However, since people know the 1986 adaptation so well, they compare the old and new shows. The costumes, makeup and scenery in new drama are controversial (被爭論的). Nie Lina, 16, of Yantai No.1 High School in Shandong Province, believes it is a bad idea for actors to have such strange hairstyles. The actors remind me of Peking Opera performers, not people living in Qing Dynasty time. Li Youran, 16, of Nanjing Foreign Language School, complains the music is strange and some scenes are scary. She also believes the actors are not playing in the spirit of the characters.

But Zhou defends (捍衛(wèi)) the remake as an attempt at faithful adaptation. The value of the adaptation of a novel should be judged (評價) by how faithful it is to the novel—it shouldn't be judged against another adaptation. However, Zhou also argues that a director has the right to make his or her own work of art：an artist has the right to interpret (闡釋) a classic based on his or her own understanding...You may not like it, but you cannot deny (否認(rèn)) him or her that right.

【1】Which of the following statements is the difference between the new adaptation and the old one?

A．The actors are very famous.

B．The actors are very young.

C．The director is very famous.

D．The producers are very young.

【2】According to Zhou，a movie critic，the director Li Shaohong picked young players because ________.

A．she wanted today's young people love the new drama

B．she wanted to train young actors

C．she liked to attempt a new unusual approach

D．she thought the new drama is fit for young players to act

【3】Besides the youthfulness，the director wants to make the new adaptation ________.

A．superstitious

B．sensible

C．faithful

D．unexpected

【4】What does the underlined word in the third paragraph mean，according to the passage?

A．young

B．old

C．famous

D．experienced

【5】According to the audiences，which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．Mostspan> audiences are satisfied with the new drama.

B．Lina believes the music in the drama is strange.

C．Zhou thinks it is right to be faithful.

D．Li Youran thinks it is wrong for players to have strange hairstyles.
