The Garbage (垃圾) Project started at the University of Arizona in 1973. Since then, the students and teachers in it have studied the modern garbage in different cities.

    To study the garbage, the students had to travel to landfills (填埋场) , the places where cities bury (填埋) their garbage. While the students were studying the garbage they wore special clothes. Students were very careful when they opened bags of garbage.

    One important thing the students have learned from studying the garbage is that the garbage in landfills disappears very slowly. That was surprising to both the students and many scientists who had thought that about 70% of the garbage in landfills would disappear quickly. Even in cities where it rains a lot, the students found newspapers from 1948, 40﹣year﹣old hot dogs, and vegetables from 1970. And the students also found many more empty bottles of cola than they expected.

    How to dispose of our garbage well depends on what kind of garbage it is: regular(普通的) garbage, dangerous materials, or recyclable materials, such as newspapers and glass bottles. Regular garbage goes to regular landfills. Dangerous materials are harmful to people's health and the environment. They shouldn't go into regular landfills.

    Homes are full of dangerous waste. One kind of the dangerous waste in homes is batteries. When batteries are buried directly(直接地)in a landfill, they often break open. The poison inside them moves through rain water to the bottom of the landfill. Then it can pollute the natural water in the ground.

    Another dangerous waste from homes is motor oil. When people pour old motor oil on the ground or throw it in the garbage, it pollutes the environment.

    Our garbage problem is not new, but as the world's population continues to grow, it will become a bigger and bigger problem.

(1)The Garbage Project started at the University of Arizona in  

A. 1973

B. 1970

C. 1948

D. 1940

(2)To study the modern garbage, the students had to do many things except  

A. Wearing special clothes

C. burying the garbage themselves

D. opening bags of garbage

(3)The underlined words "dispose of" in Paragraph 4 means  

A. crash into

B. deal with

C. worry about

D. put up

(4)From the article, we know old motor oil  

A. should go to regular landfills

B. isn't harmful garbage

C. mustn't be poured on the ground

D. never pollutes the environment

(5)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?  

A. There are only two kinds of dangerous waste in homes.

B. Scientists thought about 70% of the garbage in landfills would disappear slowly.

Governments around the world are pushing for an end to plastic straws (吸管) and bags.More and more businesses are turning to paper products as a choice.Paper is considered by many to be better than plastic.However,it,too,is harmful to the environment.

   Firstly,paper bags and straws are made from trees.Trees,as you know,can reduce (减少) carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) levels in the atmosphere. Theycan slow down climate (气候) change.An increase in the use of paper bags can cause more acts of cutting down trees.

   Secondly,products made from paper require more energy and water.About 10 percent more energy and four times as much water is used to produce a paper bag than a plastic one.You might say that we can use recycled paper to save that energy and water.This seems to be a good idea.However,it takes even more energy and water to go through the recycling process than to make a brand new paper bag.Products made from recycled paper are also often short﹣lived.

   Thirdly,paper products are heavier than plastic ones.That means they require more oil to transport.Seven trucks are needed to transport two million paper bags,while only one truck is needed to transport the same number of plastic bags.The increased weight also leads to a large amount of waste once the bags are thrown away.

   Paper products are actually a lose﹣lose for both the environment and businesses.They are more expensive than plastic products.A paper straw costs about 5 to 12 cents,while a plastic one usually costs only about 2 cents.

   The most environment﹣friendly solution is to avoid single﹣use products altogether.Products like glass water bottles and steel straws can be used over and over again.They are much better than either paper products or plastic products.Through increasing the use of these products,you can greatly reduce your throwaway waste and truly make our Earth a greener place!

(1)What does the underlined word " They" in Paragraph 2 refer to?    

A.

Plastic products.

B.

Trees.

C.

Paper products.

(2)Compared with transporting two million plastic bags,transporting two million paper bags requires    .

When you feel a sneeze(喷嚏)or cough coming on, covering your mouth prevents the spread of germs(细菌). You probably knew that.

    But how to cover your mouth is very important. You might use tissues(纸巾), and put your used tissues into the bin. "If you don't have tissues, you should sneeze into your elbow, not your hand, even if you are used to doing that." The doctors advised.

    "If somebody sneezes into his hands, those germs will be passed on to other people, or other objects that people touch." said Dr. Hill.

    Germs are most commonly spread by sneezing and coughing. When they land on your hands, they are passed from hands to things like money, door knobs(扶手), elevator buttons(电梯按钮)and other surfaces. At the same time, the people around you can touch them.

    This isn't nagging(唠叨). The Centers for Disease Control also suggest that sneezing and coughing into your elbow is necessary. Even the New York City subway officers ask the passengers to "cough or sneeze into elbow or use a tissue."

    "The suggestion was taken seriously about 10 years ago. However, most people didn't pay much attention to it. That means the adults may have missed the advice. But children are often taught in school the right way to cough or sneeze." Dr Benjamin said.

    To be clear, people can't keep away from all the risks in this way, but it's the best choice. At the same time, we'd better wear masks(口罩) and often wash our hands. "Hand washing is one of the most important things people can do to keep healthy." Dr. Hill said.

(1)According to this passage, when sneezing or coughing, you'd better NOT  

A. sneeze into your elbow

B. cover your mouth with tissues

C. use your hand to cover mouth

D. put the used tissues in the bin

(2)If you sneeze or cough into hands, germs can spread through the following activities EXCEPT

A.To tell us the correct way to cover mouth when sneezing or coughing.

B.To tell us how to prevent the spread of germs.

C.To tell us it's necessary to sneeze or cough into elbow.

Living on an island might sound wonderful. But what if you left for a trip and found you could never return? What if your home, and even the land it stood on, was gone forever?For people living in the Pacific Islands,this is really possible.

    Why? Climate(气候) change. Climate change is causing the sea to rise. That's bad news for the Pacific Islands. Young people on the islands are even starting to wonder:Will they be the last generation(一代人)?

    Not if the islanders have anything to do about it.These people are deeply connected to their homelands. The Pacific Islands are made up of 11 different countries: the Marshall Islands, Fiji, Samoa,and others. But now, those countries are working together. They're joining forces to fight climate change.

    Why is climate change such a huge threat to this part of the world?Islands have low elevations(海拔).So they are among the first places influenced by rising sea levels. That's why countries of the Pacific Islands are working together to do their part.

    But these are small countries. When it comes to climate change, can they make a big difference? They can, because most of the things that people on islands buy are brought by ships.This is very harmful to the environment. After all, ships put out almost 3 percent of the world's carbon emissions(碳排放).That makes climate change worse.

    Pacific Islanders realize the problem. So, in 2019,six countries got together:Fiji,the Marshall Islands, Samoa,Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, and Tuvalu. They came up with a plan. They agreed to cut carbon emissions from shipping by 40 percent by 2030.And by 2050,they expect zero﹣carbon shipping.

    How will they pull this off? They plan to use some really cool carbon﹣free technologies.They'll make use of solar and wind energy.

    Sea levels are rising, but hopes aren't sinking in the Pacific Islands.

(1)What is the bad news for the Pacific Islands according to the passage?  

A. Some Pacific Island countries have disappeared.

B. The sea level is going up because of climate change.

C. All the sipping to the Pacific Islands has been stopped.

D. The Pacific Islands have nothing to do about the climate change.

(2)The underlined word "threat" in Paragraph 4 probably means"  ".

A. risk

B. step

C. project

D. development

(3)It can be inferred from the passage that   

A. there will never be zero carbon emissions from sipping

B. solar and wind energy will make climate change worse

C. all the Pacific Islanders may leave their homelands by 2050

D. some Pacific Island countries may have hopes to make a difference

(4)The passage mainly talks about   

A. why other countries are helping the Pacific Islanders fight climate change

B. how some countries are working hard to develop carbon﹣free technologies

D. why Pacific Island countries put out so much of the world's carbon emissions

It is no easy job.The high temperature in Korla makes it difficult for anyone to work day after day in the sunshine.Besides,water is a big problem.In fact,Wang Chengbang's work in the first few years failed as very few trees survived(存活).

But Wang Chengbang would not give up."After trying many different ways,I have learned how to grow young trees in a better way," said Wang Chengbang.He also worked out new ways to save water.With his hard work,more and more trees have survived.So far,he has planted more than 1.5 million trees.Those green trees prevent desertification,make the air cleaner and protect people from the hot sun.Now,Korla is a model city in environmental protection.

Wang Chengbang is also successful in fighting cancer(癌症).In 2005,he had cancer and was told that he had only six months to live.However,he continued taking care of his trees rather than lying on the hospital bed."Working is the best medicine.Planting trees helps to fight cancer," he often jokes.

Do video games do harm to our children?Today,many children spend a lot of their free time playing games on the Internet.In the UK,99%of kids aged8 to 15 play video games every week.This information tells us that the benefits and dangers of video games must be carefully considered.

For many people,video games are fun.They have bright lights,funny cartoons and exciting stories.Everywhere you look,you can see children playing these games.They play on buses and trains,in restaurants and even at school.

Video games are educational too.They make kids think in a creative way and theyhave to move their hands and eyes quickly.This can improve the way that a child's brain works.What's more,video games make children use their imagination.The player has to do many creative things,like drawing,telling stories and building things.Video games are also a good way to teach children about technology because they can learn how computers and other devices work while they play.

However,a recent study suggests that video games can also be bad for children.First,children can download many games for free.This means that parents often don't know if their children are playing violent or scary games.Second,many children spend too much time playing games on computers and this can lead to health problems.Third,if children spend too much time playing games instead of doing homework,they can have problems at school and get bad grades.Finally,video games can affect children's social skills.If children spend too much time playing video games by themselves,they might not learn how to play with their friends.

In conclusion,it seems clear that video games have some advantages and some disadvantages.It is up to parents to know what games their children are playing and how much time they spend on them.Parents should also make sure their children get enough exercise and spend time with other children.

Dogs might have the latest tools in the fight against cancer (癌症):their noses!Researchers at California's Pine Street Foundation (PSF) say they have trained five dogs to smell cancer on a prison's breath.This could be exciting news.

   A dog's sense of smell may be 10,000 to 100,000 times stronger than ours.But can dogs really smell illness?PSF researcher Michael McCulloch says yes. "We were very surprised by how exact they were," he said. "They were telling who had cancer,and they were also saying who didn't."

    McCulloch and his team asked four healthy people and one with cancer to blow into plastic tubes (塑料管).Special materials in the tubes kept the things of each breath.The tubes were then placed one yard apart.Finally the dogs were allowed to smell the tubes.Each dog had been trained for three weeks to sit when it smelled cancer.Ninety﹣nine percent of the time,the dog sat next to the tubes blown into by patients with lung cancer.The dogs were right 88 percent of the time about breast cancer.

Dogs in the Pine Street Foundation test were trained to sit when they smelled cancer.How well did they perform?Take a look at this chart to find out.

Eight years ago, 1﹣week﹣old Diandian was left behind. When people found her in the reeds (芦苇) of a lake, she looked too weak to survive. Now she is the mother of three milu, thanks to the workers' attention and care at the East Dongting Lake National Nature Reserve.

    Li is the president of a milu conservation association in Yueyang and head of a local milu and bird rescue center, where 11 deer, including Diandian, have their families. Li and his workmates need to work extra hours to take care of the animals from March until mid﹣May. He remembers March 18 this year. He fed Diandian some fresh shoots and leaves for breakfast as usual, and moments later when he returned,a newborn milu was right beside her. Since it is her third baby and born in the third month of the year,people named it Sansan, referring to "three﹣three". Li has developed a deep affection for milu and made up his mind to protect them. "As our country is paying more attention to environmental and wildlife protection, people are increasingly aware that milu are state﹣protected animalsm," Li said.

    Milu habitats (栖息地) are usually centered around water, and fishing equipment that used to be a threat to the animals is no longer seen in nature reserves. On May 27, a team of experts went to watch milu near Dongting Lake. It takes time and luck to meet one and count them especially when they live in the thick reeds that are 4 to 5 meters tall. The team leader Song, saw a milu for the first time when he was studying for his doctorate in zoology early in 2009. Since then, he has helped protect the habitats at Dongting Lake. As the flood season is coming, Song and his workmates will go around the lake area day and night to save deer in trouble, and provide feed for the animals when needed.

    As the environment improves in and around Dongting Lake, China's second﹣largest freshwater lake, the wetland has become cover once again for wildlife. "We will continue to protect these rare animals and their living environment," Song said.
