19．In the United States alone，over 100 million cell-phones are thrown away each year．Cell-phones are part of a growing mountain of electronic waste like computers and personal digital assistants．The electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional garbage as a whole．
Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver．A Swiss study reported that while the weight of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in comparison to total waste，the concentration （含量） of gold and other precious metals was higher in So-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals．
   Electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals．Even when the machines are recycled and the harmful metals removed，the recycling process often is carried out in poor countries，in practically uncontrolled ways which allow many poisonous substances to escape into the environment．
Creating products out of raw materials creates much more waste material，up to 100 times more，than the material contained in the finished products．Consider again the cell-phone，and imagine the mines that produced those metals，the factories needed to make the box and packaging（包裝） it came in．Many wastes produced in the producing process are harmful as well．
  The U．S．Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that"the production，distribution，and use of products-as well as management of the resulting waste-all result in greenhouse gas release．"Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less waste at the start-for instance，buying reusable products and recycling．
  In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or has been put in place as an incentive （動機） for reducing waste．If producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products，would they reduce the packaging in the first place
Governments'incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they produce is usually based on money．Why，they ask，should cities or towns be responsible for paying to deal with the bubble wrap （氣泡墊） that encased your television
   From the governments'point of view，a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and tax-payers back to the producers．
32．Which does NOT belong to electronic waste？C
A．cell-phones    B．computers    C．television    D．personal digital assistant
33．What's the author's purpose to mention the Swiss study？C．
A．the weight of e-goods is rather small
B．natural minerals contain more precious metals
C．E-waste deserves to be made good use of
D．the percentage of precious metals is heavy in e-waste
34．The responsibility of e-waste treatment should be extendedD．
A．from producers to governments      
B．from government to individuals
C．from individuals to distributors      
D．from governments to producers
35．What does the passage mainly talk aboutB
A．how to increase e-waste．
B．how to manage e-waste．
C．what's the result of e-waste．
D．how serious the e-waste is．

18．Aria Ricardo was a beautiful，slim young woman with dark hair，dark eyes，and dark skin．She used to work as a model and earn as much as $ 2，000 in one day in front of the camera．She modeled for top magazines in Paris，Rome，Tokyo，and throughout the United States．
Aria's father，now retired because of a disability，was a police officer who really loved his work．Aria would rather follow in her father's footsteps than pursue her modeling career．She remembered listening to her father tell stories when he came home after a day on the beat．The excitement，tensions and risks of police work appealed to her．
   Aria got started in the modeling business quite by accident．She accompanied a friend to an interview at a modeling agency．Her friend wanted the job，while Aria didn't．The people at the agency were impressed with Aria's appearance and poise．They knew she'd be brilliant in front of the camera．So they sent her on her first modeling job-for Seventeen magazine-right away．
   While she was successful as a model，Aria never gave up her dream of being a police officer．She passed the written exam for the New York Police Department．She planned to enter the Police Academy as quickly as possible．Her family and friends thought she was out of her mind even to consider such a thing．Police work was dangerous and the pay couldn't compare to a top model's income．But Aria knew what she wanted，and she went for it．She had never really intended to be a model anyway．Finally she hooked her fish．
28．Aria's success as a model resulted fromA．
A．her appearance and shape

16．I'm sure you've asked this when traveling，"Can I drink the tap water？"It is easy to get confused about where it's safe to drink and where it's not，especially if you're planning a multi-destination trip．Some countries like India and Mexico are well known for unsafe tap water but where else is it a health risk？
If you want a quick reference for where on the Earth the water is safe，we've got you covered with this helpful graph．It was created by Just the Flight．All of the information about water safety is based on data from the CDC．The graph also shows pricing for bottled water and beer for each country as well!So if you can't drink the water you know what you're looking at for costs to stay hydrated．
Have plans to travel to a place where the tap water is deemed unsafe？Remember to skip ice in your drinks and avoid uncooked fruit and vegetables unless they've been peeled．Make sure to use bottled water when brushing your teeth as well．
Please know，not all of the countries listed on the graphic have dirty or polluted water．I know from personal experience，tap water may be safe at different elevations and in different areas within a country shown as unsafe on the graph．Ultimately，further research is required．Falling short of that，follow the advice on the graph to avoid an uncomfortable case of traveler's illness．
It's definitely better to be safe than sorry!
21．Which of the following is the best title？A
A．Where on the Earth Can You Drink Safe Tap Water？
