Module 6
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2015·河南开封市高三模拟)
Nowadays many people are concerned about the problem of what to do with electronic waste such as old televisions, computers, radios, cellular telephones and other electronic equipment.
Electronic trash, or e－waste, is piling up faster than ever in American homes and businesses. People do not know what to do with old televisions or computers so they throw them in the trash.
National Solid Waste Management Association (NSWMA) state programs director Chaz Miller says the large amount of electronic waste Americans product is not unexpected.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items are dumped each year, and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills (垃圾填埋场) and create recycling programs. They can be torn apart and sorted for useable parts. Mike Fannon who runs the plant in Baltimore says, “There are lots of valuable metals that can be recovered and reused instead of just putting them in the landfill, and in certain components there are some materials that should not really be in the landfill. ”
Fannon says nearly 20 percent of electronic waste is recycled nationwide. Thirteen years ago, it was only about 6 percent. Recycling rates continue to rise as more communities have banned electronics from landfills in order to keep e－waste poisons like lead (铅) and mercury (汞) out of garbage dumps.
This year several states like Vermont imposed a ban on electronic waste in landfills. More than 25 other states have also adopted bans on e－waste in landfills. Chaz Miller says more can be done to boost electronic waste recycling.
“We can do much better，” noted Miller. “I think clearly our goal should be to do as well as we do recycling newspapers.”

语篇解读：这是说明文阅读。文章主要介绍了一些爱父母的方法。我们要爱自己的父母，因为是他们创造了我们，养育了我们。
1．B 根据空后的A gentle “good morning” and “I love you” will warm a coldest heart与B Tell them you love them every morning中的关键词morning可知答案选B。
2．D 根据前句“It's OK to get angry but angry actions don't help you or your parents. Act calmly, cool off, write down your feelings, or talk to a friend.”生气没有关系，但是生气帮不了你或者你的父母。冷静下来，消消气，写下你的感受，或者和朋友聊聊。可知，下面讲的内容还是关于生气后该做的事情，浏览七个选项可以发现，只有D：After this, share your feelings with your parents(之后，和你的父母分享你的感受)符合段落内容。故选D。
3．A “Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes.Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents？”要理解父母都是普通的人，都会犯错误。既然你可以原谅你的朋友们，为什么不能谅解你的父母呢？所以中间一句应该也是关于“理解和原谅的”，只有A选项Forgiveness is the key.(谅解是关键)符合要求。故选A。
4．E 根据前文“Keep company with them.Do things with your parents like watching TV, or go somewhere with them.Listen to their old stories and learn from them.”陪伴着他们。和你的父母一起做一些事情，例如看电视，或者和他们一起去一些地方。听听他们的老故事，从中学习一些东西。可知，这一段重要讲花时间陪伴父母。浏览选项，E：Anyway, spend as much time with them as you can(无论如何，要尽可能地多花点时间陪着他们。)符合文章语境，故选E。
5．G “Some people simply may not be able to love their parents. 5 Seek help if you are being abused in anyway.Parents do not have a right to harm you.”有些人不能够爱他们的父母。如果你在某些方面被他们虐待，你要寻求帮助。父母没有权利伤害你。分析语境可知，有些人不能爱他们的父母原因可能是被虐待。所以中间应该填“这可能有一些原因”。浏览选项G. “There can be realistic reasons for this, family violence for example.”这可能有一些现实的原因，例如家庭暴力。故选G。
