With fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word “rubbish” could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.

The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant(发电厂) for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.

Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: First, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that founders and rollers will break up everything that can be broken. Finally , the rubbish will pass under magnets(磁铁), which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.

The first full-scale giant recycling plants are perhaps fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.

1. The phrase “be well on with ……” (Para .1) most probably means __________.

A. have completed what was started

B. get ready to start

C. have achieved a great deal in

D. put an end to

2.What is NOT mentioned as a part of the recycling process described in paragraph 3?

A. Breaking up whatever is breakable.

B. Sharpening metal bars.

C. Separating light elements from the heavy ones.

D. Sorting out small pieces of metal.

3.What’s the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?

A. To deal with wastes in a better way.

B. To protect the environment from pollution.

C. To get raw materials locally.

D. To get big profits from those plants.

4.The first full-scale huge recycling plants __________.

A. began to operate fifteen years ago

B. will take less than fifteen years to build

C. will be built fifteen years later

D. will probably be in operation in fifteen years

5.The passage is mainly about __________.

A. a cheap way to get energy

B. the location of recycling plants

C. new ways of recycling wastes

D. the probability of city environment

TIME is an American weekly news magazine published in New York City. It was created in 1923 by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce, making it the first weekly news magazine in the US. Hadden was considered carefree, liked to tease Luce and saw TIME as important but also fun. That accounted for its heavy coverage of celebrities(including politicians), the entertainment industry, and pop culture—criticized as too light for serious news.

It tells the news through people, and for many decades, the magazine’s cover depicted a single person. On Hadden’s death in 1929, Luce became the most important man at TIME and a major figure in the history of 20th-century media.

TIME is also known for its signature red border, first introduced in 1927. It has only changed four times since then. The issue released shortly after the September 11 attacks on the United States featured a black border to symbolize mourning. However, this edition was a special “extra” edition published quickly for the breaking news of the event; the next regularly scheduled issue contained the red border. Additionally, the April 28, 2008 Earth Day issue, dedicated to environmental issues, contained a green border. The next change in border was in the September 19, 2011 issue, commemorating the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks with a metallic silver border. The most recent change(again with a silver border) was in the December 31, 2012 issue, noting Barack Obama’s selection as Man of the Year.

TIME has a division magazine, TIME FOR KIDS(TFK), which is especially published for children and is mainly distributed in classrooms. TFK contains some national news, a “Cartoon of the Week”, and a variety of articles concerning popular culture that the younger U.S. citizens are interested in. All the stories in TFK are written by young reporters.

In some advertising campaigns, the magazine has suggested that the letters TIME stand for “The International Magazine of Events”.

1.TIME has a history of _______.

A. about 50 years B. about 70 years

C. about 90 years D. about 150 years

2.Why did some people dislike TIME in the beginning?

A. It had kept its cover the same since the 1920s.

B. It didn’t have a serious tone for important events.

C. It didn’t report important events quickly enough.

D. Henry Luce was in charge of the magazine for too long.

3.Why did TIME change its red border for the first time?

A. To remember the 10th anniversary of an attack.

B. To remind readers to protect the environment.

C. To show great sadness about the deaths.

D. To call on readers to vote for Obama.

4.What do we know about TFK?

A. It has young reporters writing articles.

B. It has a division magazine called TIME.

C. It is designed for kids and teachers.

D. It mainly contains popular culture.

“Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.

One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.

Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.

Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.

Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold; First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw(缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.

Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow.

1..What are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose?

A. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.

B. A lot of care and the right soil.

C. Tomato plants grown alongside.

D. Cages placed around the roots.

2..The writer planted the tomato because _________.

A. there was room for it in the garden

B. the soil was just right for it

C. it cost only $1.25

D. the roses’ branches needed to be covered

3..This year the writer’s roses were __________.

A. removed from the rose bed

B. largely hidden under the tomato plant

C. mostly damaged by too much sunlight

D. picked along with the tomatoes

4..By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to ________.

A. express her liking for the roses

B. show the hardship of growing the roses

C. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes

D. express her care for the tomatoes

5..In the situation described in the text, one good thing is that ________.

A.the roses cost the writer little money

B.the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoes

C.someone will help the writer make the decision

D.the writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoes

Dear David,

I am an university student. I once thought life at the university must be excellent, but now I changed my mind. I have three roommates, and I was the last one move into the dormitory. Last term, I got along peacefully and happy. But I find they are not willing to be with me now. They don’t talk with me, and they’ve become cold towards me. Many time, I wanted to talk with them about how I felt like, but I failed to find an opening. When leaving alone, I always recall this sadness. But I am an honest student. Why don’t I win true friendship?
