When your pen is broken，the battery（电池）in your toy runs out，or you have some leftover（吃剩的）food，what do you do with these things？You will probably throw them all into one bin． But actually，all kinds of rubbish need to be sorted（分类）separately．
Rubbish sorting is a big issue（议题）worldwide． In recent years，some Chinese cities have been working hard on it． Shanghai has worked with Alipay to create a" green account（账户）" service for its residents（居民）．Account holders get points by sorting their rubbish correctly．
Through the Alipay app，they can exchange the points for milk，phone cards and other products． The city is asking all of its residents to sort their rubbish into four groups： wet，recyclable，harmful and dry． Wet waste is also known as household waste． Paper，metal and glass are recyclable waste． Medicine and batteries are harmful waste． Finally，any waste that's not wet，recyclable or harmful will go in the"dry waste" bin． Many other Chinese cities are also doing this． Shenzhen has been sorting its rubbish into the same four groups since 2012．Students there must study waste﹣sorting guidebooks．
If you don't sort your rubbish，it will go to a landfill（垃圾填埋场）and be buried together． These landfills can take up large areas of ground． Some rubbish can pollute the soil and groundwater and it can also do harm to the environment around us． China is improving its waste﹣sorting efforts． There is still a long way to go．

Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. So animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering (不开花的) plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds (种子). Fruits protect the seeds. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.
Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores (孢子). Spores are very, very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float (飘) in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants. The main idea of the first paragraph is that _______.
| A．plants are important for life |
| B．plants can’t grow without air |
| C．there are many plants in the world |
| D．we can’t live without water |
Plants can make food from _______.
| A．flower, water and air | B．water, sunlight and air |
| C．air, water and soil | D．air, sun and light |
What fact does the passage lead you to believe?
| A．Of all living things, animals are the most important. |
| B．Spores are seeds. |
| C．All fruits of flowering plants have seeds. |
| D．Without plants, man will die out. |
What will the writer probably (可能) talk about in the following paragraph?
| A．how plants can make food from air |
| B．how spores grow into new plants |
| C．why some plants have no seeds |
| D．why non-flowering plants are more important than flowering plants |
A well－known poem by Tang dynasty poet Du Mu tells of a sad scene in early April: “Rains fall heavily as Qingming comes, and passersby with lowered spirits go.”
This scene takes place on Tomb Sweeping Day, also known as Qingming Festival. Tomb Sweeping Day is a traditional Chinese festival. It began in the Zhou dynasty, over 2,500 years ago.
Chinese people celebrate it to remember and honor their ancestors(祖先). This year, it falls on April 5. Tomb Sweeping Day became a public holiday in the Chinese mainland in 2008. People have one day off for that day.
On this day, families bring flowers, food and wine to the grave sites(墓地) of their ancestors. They place cakes, fruits in front of the graves and some may burn joss paper, as money for the dead. After that, they sweep the tombs and cherish(怀念) the memories of their dead family members.
Tomb Sweeping Day gives us a chance to show respect to our ancestors and family members who have passed away and show that we miss them. This tradition shows that family values are an important part of Chinese culture.
Tomb Sweeping Day is also the beginning of the time for gardening and outdoor activities in China. Families often get together for outings or to fly kites at this time.The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “passersby” is ________．
| A．故人 | B．陌生人 | C．古代人 | D．行人 |
