【题目】Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Today, Mandatory(强制的) recycling is a hard sell in the United States, where the economy runs largely along free market lines and the current landfilling waste remains inexpensive and efficient.
Plain and simple, recycling still costs more than landfilling in most places. This fact, 【1】(couple) with the disappearance of the so-called “landfill crisis” of the mid-1990s, means that recycling has not caught on, which runs 【2】 some environmentalists’ wishes.
However, many cities have found ways to recycle economically. They have cut costs by automating sorting and processing. They’ve also found profitable markets for the recyclables(可回收物) 【3】 cast-off items are acceptable or even welcome. Increased efforts by green groups 【4】(educate) the public about the benefits of recycling have also helped.
【5】 uneconomical recycling seems to some people, some cities, such as Pittsburgh, San Diego and Seattle, have made recycling mandatory. In these cities, recyclables are banned from both household and business garbage. Families 【6】 recycle all basic recyclables, such as paper, cardboard, glass and plastic. To businesses with garbage containers “polluted” with more than 10 recyclables,warnings 【7】(issue). If they fail to take action, fines are expected.
New York, a national leader on recycling, decided to stop its least cost-effective recycling programs (plastic and glass) in 2002. But rising landfill costs ate up the $39 million savings expected.
As a result, the city brought back plastic and glass recycling and committed to a 20-year contract with a recycling firm, Hugo Neu Corporation, which built the 【8】(advanced) recycling facility in the country.
The company focuses on 【9】could cut costs. Automation has streamlined the sorting process, and easy access to rail has cut both the environmental and transportation costs. The new deal and new facility have made recycling efficient for the city and its residents, 【10】(show) once and for all that responsibly-run recycling programs can actually save money, landfill space and the environment.

【题目】Londoners are great readers. They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and even of books—especially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy ‘proper’ books, too, printed on good paper and bound between hard covers.
There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts of being ‘the biggest bookshop in the world’ to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens’ time. Some of these shops stock, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize — in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philosophy(哲学), politics or any other of the myriad subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet.
Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the collector must venture(冒险) off the beaten path, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so grand as bookshops. Instead, the booksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on to small barrows(手推车) which line the gutters(贫民区). And the collectors, some professional and some amateur(业余爱好者)have been waiting for them. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.
【1】According to the passage, we can infer that __________.
A. Londoners like borrowing books from libraries
B. Londoners like buying books, magazines and newspapers
C. Londoners like reading books in libraries
D. Londoners don't like buying ‘proper’ books.
【2】Charing Cross Road which is well-known for ________ lies in the __________ of London.
A. bookstores, East Central district B. publishing houses, downtown
C. Bookshops, center D. libraries, countryside
【3】The underlined word “solely” in the second paragraph means__________.
A. wholly B. partly
C. jointly D. seldom
【4】The third paragraph mainly tells us _________in London.
A. where to buy the dear new books
B. where to buy the cheap new books
C. where to buy the cheap second-hand books
D. where to buy the dear second-hand books

Dealing with Difficult Relationships
Everyone has at least one awkward or 【1】 relationship. It may be with somebody who will 【2】 your energy whenever you are with them. Or worse, it could be someone who always cuts you down. This person may be a family member or even a friend. No matter who it is, it’s necessary that you learn to set boundaries for yourself. Otherwise this kind of relationship can chip away at your self-esteem.
Setting boundaries for difficult relationships starts by 【3】 how you are affected by the relationship. Do they bring you closer to your goals or pull you farther away? For example, it’s time to study for tomorrow’s test. But your friend wants to take you to a party. Here, setting boundaries will help protect your 【4】 goals.
Next, decide how much time you should spend with these people. It’s easy to overcommit yourself. But it’s difficult to help others if you forget to protect your own 【5】.
How do you know if a relationship is unhealthy, and it’s time to set boundaries? Here are a few practical questions to ask yourself.
1. How does this relationship affect me?
Every 【6】 can affect you positively or negatively. For example, someone who pressures you to something you’re not comfortable doing will 【7】 you out. But a friend who considers how you feel will respect your 【8】 to try something new.
2. Why am I in this relationship in the first place?
People may try to keep you in an unhealthy relationship. By 【9】 you it’s your obligation or duty, you forget about your own needs. Sadly, by remaining 【10】 to these people, you forget who you are. You allow them to take advantage of you or even belittle you.
Settling boundaries requires taking a long, honest look at yourself. By saying “no” to harmful patterns in relationships, you say “yes” to a healthier you.

【题目】 Self-driving cars have been backed by the hope that they will save lives by getting involved in fewer crashes with fewer injuries and deaths than human-driven cars. But so far, most comparisons between human drivers and automated vehicles have been unfair.
Crash statistics for human-driven cars are gathered from all sorts of driving situations, and on all types of roads. However, most of the data on self-driving cars' safety have been recorded often in good weather and on highways, where the most important tasks are staying in the car's own lane and not getting too close to the vehicle ahead. Automated cars are good at those tasks, but so are humans.
It is true that self-driving cars don't get tired, angry, frustrated or drunk. But neither can they yet react to uncertain situations with the same skill or anticipation of an attentive human driver. Nor do they possess the foresight to avoid potential perils. They largely drive from moment to moment,rather than think ahead to possible events literally down the road.
To a self-driving car, a bus full of people might appear quite similar to an uninhabited corn field. Indeed, deciding what action to take in an emergency is difficult for humans, but drivers have sacrificed themselves for the greater good of others. An automated system’s limited understanding of the world means it will almost never evaluate(评估) a situation the same way a human would. And machines can't be programmed in advance to handle every imaginable set of events.
Some people may argue that the promise of simply reducing the number of injuries and deaths is enough to support driverless cars. But experience from aviation(航空) shows that as new automated systems are introduced, there is often an increase in the rate of disasters.
Therefore comparisons between humans and automated vehicles have to be performed carefully. To fairly evaluate driverless cars on how well they fulfill their promise of improved safety, it's important to ensure the data being presented actually provide a true comparison. After all,choosing to replace humans with automation has more effects than simply a one-for-one exchange.
【1】What makes the comparison between self-driving cars and human-driven cars unfair?
A.Self-driving cars never get tired.B.Statistics are collected differently.
C.Machines can make decisions faster.D.Self-driving cars know the world better.
【2】What does the underlined word “perils” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A.Dangers.B.Self-driving cars.
C.Pedestrians.D.Human-driven cars.
【3】In which aspect can self-driving cars beat human-driven cars?
A.Driving steadily.B.Climbing steep slopes.
C.Evaluating the cost of loss.D.Making complex decisions.
【4】Why does the author write this text?
A.To support human-driven cars.
B.To show his doubt about self-driving cars.
C.To call for exact evaluation of self-driving cars.
D.To stress the importance of reducing car accidents.
