【题目】 Rainbow-coloured rubbish is the colourful waste created by a Swedish city with a unique recycling system. Like many cities in Sweden, Eskilstuna has an impressive recycling record. It met the EU's 2020 target of recycling 50% of waste many years ago.

Almost everyone who lives here follows a strict recycling policy at home. People are expected to sort their household waste into seven separate categories, including food, textiles, cartons and metal. But what really makes the system stand out is the bright colour code.

The reason for this becomes clear at the city's recycling plant. The bags arrive all jumbled up(被混在一 起)because they're collected altogether, once a fortnight from outside people's houses.

But thanks to those bright colours, scanners can select the bags and separate them efficiently. The food waste in green bags is processed on site into slurry to make biogas, which powers the city's buses. One of the benefits of this method of recycling is that there is less cross-contamination, so more of the recycled waste can actually be used to make new things.

Like the rest of Sweden, Eskilstuna is committed to sending zero waste from its citizens to landfill. Waste that cannot be recycled is incinerated(焚化)at a local plant to generate electricity. This reduces reliance on fossil fuels, but does create greenhouse gases.

As countries around the world try to improve their recycling rates, some may think of Eskilstuna as an example to follow, as long as they think they can persuade their citizens to get busy sorting at home.

1What can we say about the recycling system used in Eskilstuna?

A.It is a colorful policy.B.It is a temporary success.

C.It is an ordinary recycling system.D.It is a practical method of recycling.

2What really makes the system of rainbow-colored recycling outstanding?

A.The strict recycling policy.B.The self-discipline of citizens.

C.The bright colour.D.The eco-friendly code.

3Why is the non-recyclable waste burnt to ashes at a local plant in Eskilstuna?

A.To send zero waste to landfill.B.To make electricity.

C.To reduce dependence on fossil fuels.D.To decrease greenhouse gases

4What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Some countries set a good example to Eskilstuna.

B.Eskilstuna follows in the footsteps of other countries.

C.Some countries may adopt the system of rainbow-colored recycling.

D.Eskilstuna may force its citizens to get busy sorting at home.

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍瑞典城市Eskilstuna在垃圾回收时将不同类别的垃圾用不同颜色的垃圾袋收纳的独特之举,同时分析了此种举措存在的优势。

1

推理判断题。由第四段的第一句“But thanks to those bright colours, scanners can select the bags and separate them efficiently.”和最后一句“One of the benefits of this method of recycling is that there is less cross-contamination, so more of the recycled waste can actually be used to make new things.”可知,但是幸亏有那些明亮的颜色,扫描器能够有效地选择袋子和分离它们。这种回收方法的其中一个优势是有更少的交叉污染,所以更多的回收废物能够实际地被用来制造新的事物。由此可见,在Eskilstuna使用的回收系统,它是一种实用的回收方法。结合选项可知,选项D正确。

细节理解题。由第五段的第二句“Waste that cannot be recycled is incinerated(焚化)at a local plant to generate electricity.”可知,不能回收的废物在当地的工厂焚化来发电。由此可知,没有回收的废物会在Eskilstuna的当地工厂燃烧成灰烬,是因为这样可以发电。结合选项可知,选项B正确。

4

推理判断题。由最后一段“As countries around the world try to improve their recycling rates, some may think of Eskilstuna as an example to follow, as long as they think they can persuade their citizens to get busy sorting at home.”可知,当全世界的国家努力提高它们的回收率时,有些国家可能会想到Eskilstuna这个例子去跟随,只要它们认为它们能够说服它们的公民去在家忙于分类。由此可知,一些国家可能会采用这个彩虹颜色回收系统。结合选项可知,选项C正确。

【题目】 PCs are no longer the only things that can be hacked(非法侵入). Anything with an electronic pulse, including cars, TVs and refrigerators, is now a target for hackers. Here are several strangest hacks that show where the future is headed:

Remote-controlling a car – Well-known security researcher Charlie Miller is able to control a car by accessing the automotive computer. In 2011, a security company figured out how to unlock a car and start it just by texting and back in 2010, someone hacked into100 cars in Texas, causing them to honk(鸣响)uncontrollably before he remotely disabled them.

Well-known security researcher Barnaby Jack, who sadly passed away in July at the age of 35, had been prepared to demonstrate at Back Hat how to hack a pacemaker over Wi-Fi. The attack could kill a person by giving the pacemaker a high-voltage shock.

Spy Phone – By now, more people are becoming aware of the potential for a phone to be hacked. But what many fail to realize is the awesome potential of a smart phone to affect you, it has been hacked.

When Your TV Watches You – This type of hack makes it possible to monitor people in their homes via the internet. Smart TVs aren’t that common yet, but in the next few years they could become an important part of the living room, so watch out.

【题目】 Have you ever frequently put off things you should do for various reasons? If so, it is procrastination (拖延). Procrastinators often put off doing things and leave them to the very last moment. 1Lazy people simply don’t do anything and are just fine with it. Procrastinators, on the other hand, have the desire to do something but can’t force themselves to start.

You might think procrastination is a bit annoying but fairly harmless. However, long term procrastination has bad effects on your health. Not having seen the doctor when your illness was easier to treat may shorten your life. Just thinking about what you haven’t done may cause discomfort. 2

Don’t place too much pressure on yourself. “This project has to impress everyone; I really can’t blow this opportunity,” 3 Overcome this mental block by simply allowing yourself to be imperfect with the next small task. You can always improve your work later.

4 Concentrating on the size and difficulty of a task will overcome you and promote procrastination. Any work can be broken into smaller steps. The trick is - with each step along the way to focus on the next achievable tasks. Make sure you can easily imagine the outcome of your small task. Don’t write a book; write a page.

Focus on starting, rather than finishing. For someone who’s having a hard time starting a task, imagining a hard-to-grasp future can be depressing. The solution in this case, then, is to focus on starting. 5 We all know that if we start, we’ll eventually finish the task.

A.Break a long project down into short tasks.

B.So procrastination is about managing the time.

C.So we should apply ourselves to overcoming it.

D.However, procrastination is different from laziness.

E.Focus on the negative effects of the procrastination.

F.Bring your focus from the future to what can be done right now.

G.Placing such high hopes on a project only adds anxiety and fear of failure.
