A
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' Hi-Rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie-shaped 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 unrecyclables). At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other floors' 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 (分类) 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 cost-effective.
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

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

C. you won't wait long for your turn to recycle rubbish
D. it won't be long before you'll have to recycle your 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
D. it makes better use of the existing recovery equipment
【答案解析】
该篇文章讲述了高层建筑上所使用的一种新型的垃圾回收利用系统。
1.答:B最佳【分析】此题设计的意图是检测考生判断作者意图的能力。本文共分四个自然段。第一段提出Shantzis使生活在高楼上的人们利用拉圾来进行回收利用简单化。到最后一段Shantzis认为他的这个系统能使回收的材料更经济有效。各段文章都在围绕这个回收系统做文章(当然他是在为住高楼者介绍他的这一套系统)。因此B选项是正确答案。
2.答:D最佳【分析】此题设计的意图是检测考生对语篇中词语的深层含义的理解能力。文章一开始就说:因为住在有垃圾高楼里,你能不管垃圾回收利用吗?环境治理人人有责。从下文所推荐的简单易用的回收系统可得知你很快也会回收(垃圾)了。因此D选项是正确答案。
3.答:C最佳【分析】此题设计的意图是检测考生对所提供信息进行简单的判断的能力。第三段第二句指出操作板上对每类回收材料以及不能回收的材料都装有一按钮。因此在你把垃圾倒入垃圾道前,一定要根据垃圾的类别来按钮。因此C选项是正确答案。
4.答:A最佳【分析】此题设计的意图是检测考生对提供的事实进行综合判断的能力。最后一段讲述了若先把垃圾分类就不必再使用那些价格昂贵的垃圾分类设备,用了这种设备,所产出的回收利用材料自然也是昂贵的。文章最后得出结论:Shantzis相信他这个系统能够使回收利用材料更经济有效,大大降低成本。所以A选项是正确答案。
B

For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner.Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict.In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it.From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness.And of coursethe teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely.Both feel trapped
In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things.Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends.Second, blaminghe goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong.Thirdneeding to be right.It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something — and
therefore to command respect.Unfortunately, as long as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress
60.Why does the author compare the parentteen war to a border conflict?
A.both can continue for generations.B.Both are about where to draw the line
C.Neither has any clear winnerD.Neither can be put to an end

C.gain respect from the other D.get the other to behave properly
.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A.causes for the parent–teen conflicts B.Examples of the parent–teen war.
C.Solutions for the parent–teen problemsD.Future of the parent–teen relationship

Thousands of people living in the Chinese eapital will celebrate the start of the Chinese New Year by heading for the ski resorts(滑雪场). Never mind that Beijing’s dry weather seldom produces now. It is cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital. And the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this New craze(热潮).
Since Beijing’s first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed an astonishing increase. There are now more than a dozen resorts. Clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits to their winter collections. Mr. Wei, a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in Beijing, sees the growth of an industry that could soon lead Chinese to head for the ski resorts of Europe. In recent years ski resorts offering natural snow have opened in China. But many are in faraway areas of the country and can’t really match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in Europe.
Beijing’s sking craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private(私有的)cars. This has led to the growth of a leisure industry in the capital’s suburbs(郊区). which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people. According to Mr. Wei,About 40% of the visitors to his resort some in their own cars. The rest are bused in by schools, businesses or government offices.
The problem is making money. Starting ski resorturequires quite a lot of money:hiring land from the local government,preparing the hills,buying snow machines,making sure there are enough water and electricity to run them,and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customers. The ski resort where Mr. Wei works cost nearly $4m to set up. And,as so often in China when someone comes up with a good idea,many others rush in and price wars break out. Beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world,though with most people rather new to the sport, expecting a few more doing the same job.
50. What does this text mainly talk about?
A.Convenience for skiers brought about by private cars
B.Skiing as a new way of enjoying one’s spare time
C.Things to be considered when starting a ski resort
D.A sudden increase of ski training classes in Beijing
51. Why are some Chinese likely to go skiing in Burope?
A.To visit more ski areas
B.To ski on natrual snow
C.For a large collection of ski suits
D.For better services and equipment
52. The underlined words”leisure industry”in Paragraph 3 refer to
A.transport to ski resorts
B.production of familycars
C.business of providing spare time enjoyments
D.part-time work for people living in the suburbs
53. What is the main problem in running a ski resort?
A.Difficulty in hiring land
B.Lack of business experience
C.……ski resorts.
D.Shortage of water and electricity

考点::根据细节信息,做出简单判断和推理。
解析:文中 “And,as so often in China when someone comes up with a good idea,many others rush in and price wars break out”作了提示。中国的跟风现象,导致价格大战
