    In 1993, New York State ordered stores to charge money on beverage (饮料) containers. Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw material for new products, but because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound end up buried in landfills (垃圾填埋场). The problem was not limited to New York. Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second-hand plastic.

    Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded (被丢弃的) plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence post, paint brushes, etc.

    As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish. A discard remains a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second life — and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value. Without enough markets to take in materials collected for recycling, throwaways actually reduce prices for used materials.

    Fewer landfill space and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste-management choice. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal (清除，处理), which, in parts of New York, amounts to savings of more than $100 per ton. Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and reduces the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a better raw material.

    What regulation was issued by New York State concerning beverage containers?

    A. A fee should be charged on used containers for recycling.

    B. Throwaways should be collected by the state for recycling.

    C. Consumers had to pay for beverage containers and could get their money back on returning them.

    D. Beverage companies should be responsible for collecting and reusing discarded plastic soda bottles.

    The returned plastic bottles in New York used to         .

    A.    be turned into raw materials

    B.    be separated from other rubbish

    C.    have a second-life value

    D.    end up somewhere underground

    The key problem in dealing with returned plastic beverage containers is         .

    A.    how to reduce their recycling costs

    B.    to sell them at a profitable price

    C.    how to turn them into useful things

    D.    to lower the prices for used materials

    Recycling has become the first choice for the disposal of rubbish because         .

    A.    recycling causes little pollution

    B.    other methods are more expensive

    C.    recycling has great appeal for the jobless

    D.    local governments find it easy to manage

    It can be concluded from the passage that         .

    A.    recycling is to be suggested both economically and environmentally

    B.    local governments in the U. S. can expect big profits from recycling

    C.    rubbish is a potential remedy for the shortage of raw materials

    D.    landfills will still be widely used for waste disposal

    Forget chip fat, sugar cane or rapeseed oil — the latest source of biofuel could be watermelons. Scientists have discovered that the fruit is a great source of sugar that can be readily distilled (蒸馏) into alcohol to power cars and farm machinery.
    And sellers reject 360,000 tons of “substandard” fruit every year in America alone which could be used as an economical way to make fuel. The waste from US growers could produce nearly two million gallons (nine million litres) of biofuel per year.
    In the study, researchers at the United States Department of Agriculture set out to determine the biofuel potential of juice from rejected watermelons —those not sold due to cosmetic imperfections, and currently ploughed back into the field. About a fifth of each yearly watermelon crop is left in the field because of surface blemishes (瑕疵) or because they are misshapen.
    Dr. Wayne Fish, who led the team, found that 50 percent of the fruit was fermentable (可发酵的) into alcohol which could provide valuable fuel.
    “We’ve shown that the juice of these watermelons is a source of readily fermentable sugars, representing an unexploited raw material for alcohol biofuel production,” he said.
    The study, published in the journal Biotechnology for Biofuels, discovered that watermelons could produce around 20 gallons of fuel per acre from fruit that otherwise would go to waste.
    Production of biofuels has been targeted by Western governments as a way to support renewable energy targets.
    The European Union has a target for 2010 that 5.75 percent of transport fuels should come from biological sources, but the target is unlikely to be met.
    The British government’s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation requires five percent of the fuel sold at the pump by 2010 to be biofuel.

    1. 1.

      The passage mainly tells us ______.

      1. A.
        watermelon juice will be the largest source of renewable energy
      2. B.
        the advantages of fuel made from watermelons
      3. C.
        Western countries aim at producing biofuels
      4. D.
        watermelons could be used to make fuel
    2. 2.

      It can be learned from the text that ______.

      1. A.
        about two gallons of fuel could be made from rejected fruit per acre
      2. B.
        sellers in the world throw away 360,000 tons of watermelons every year
      3. C.
        half of the watermelons were fermentable into alcohol to provide energy
      4. D.
        five percent of fuel is required to be biofuel from watermelons by 2010 in Britain
    3. 3.

      The underlined word “cosmetic” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.

      1. A.
        fresh
      2. B.
        sweet
      3. C.
        surface
      4. D.
        inside
    4. 4.

      We can infer from the passage that ______.

      1. A.
        it will cost a lot to make biofuel from watermelons
      2. B.
        Western countries are engaged in biofuel study but still have a long way to go
      3. C.
        watermelon juice has been used as a source of sugars to produce alcohol biofuel
      4. D.
        the European Union is likely to meet its target of transport fuels from biological sources
