Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of companies were eager to a

9、ccept the aluminum and glass as raw materials for new products, but because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound 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

10、 plastic soda bottles is recycled(回收利用) in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence posts, paint brushes, etc.As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more t

A discard remains a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second fifeand until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value. Without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for recycling, throwa

12、ways actually depress prices for used materials.Shrinking 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-man-agement option. For

13、 every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, 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 trims the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by g

18、分别完成每个句子。 As early as kindergarten we re taught that there are nine planets, but 200 years ago, even scholars were sure there were only six planets.2. As recently as the 1700s, people still believed that the planet Saturn was at the farthest extent of the solar system. That there might be other pla

19、net wasnt even a respectable idea.3. In 1781 a self-taught astronomer, William Herschel, was “sweeping the skies“ with his telescope. By March, he had reached the section including the constellation Gemini, and he spotted an object that appeared as a disk rather than a glowing star. Because it moved

20、 slightly from week to week, Herschel thought it was a comet. After a few mouths, however, he decided the orbit was circular“ and came to the shocking conclusion that it wasnt a comet, but an unknown planet.4. People were astonished. No one since ancient times had anyone named a planet. Herschel fel

21、t that is should be called “Georgium Sirius“ (Georges Star) after George , the king of England, some wanted to name it “Herschel“ after its discoverer. But one influential astronomer suggested “Uranus“, after the Greek god of the heavens. That made sense, since it was thought to be the limit of the

22、solar system.5. Could there be another planet affecting Uranus? A century earlier, Isaac Newton had come up with laws describing the effects that the gravitational forces of planets have on one another. Using Newtons laws, two young scientists, Jean Leverrier and John Couch Adams set out independent

23、ly in 1840 to find the unknown planet whose gravitational forces might be pulling on Uranus. Both hoped the unknown planet would be where their calculations said they could find it. Adams finished his calculations first, in September 1845. The following August, Leverrier completed his.6. Leverrier t

24、raveled to the Berlin Observatory in Germany, and the young assistant mana get, Johann Gottfried Galle, agreed to help search for the planet. That was September 23, 1846. That night, Galle looked through the telescope, calling out stars and their positions while a young student astronomer, Heinrich

25、Louis d Arrest, looked at a star chart, searching for the stars Galle described. Finally Galle called out an eighth-magnitude star that d Arrest couldnt locate on the charts. They had found the unknown planet! It had taken two years of researchbut only a half hour at the telescope. The honor of the

26、discovery belongs to both Adams and Leverrier, who had essentially discovered the new planet with just a pen and a new set of mathematical laws. The greenish planet was named after Neptune, god of the sea.（分数：8.00）(1).Paragraph 3 _（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_(2).Paragraph 4 _（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_(3).Paragraph 5 _（分数

S. Geological Survey has recently published a map showing the relative probability of

29、 earthquake activity for various areas in the United States.The major hazard represented by seismic events along the great earthquake belts of the world has now been clearly recognized, and a great deal of research money and effort is being directed toward earthquake prediction and possible control.

30、 Active fault systems, such as the San Andreas fault in California, are carefully monitored for observable changes that could indicate an impending earthquake. Although the nature of earthquakes and earthquake belts are rela tively well understood, the possibility of accurately predicting major eart

31、hquakes, much less controlling them, still appears remote.Probably the most intriguing development in this field relates to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes near Denver, Colorado. In 1962 injection of fluid wastes into the Precambrian basement rocks nearly 4000m below the ground surface was fo

32、llowed by a series of small earthquakes. Studies of this phenomenon have indicated that the injected fluid lubricated a fault zone under stress and thereby promoted release of seismic energy. Experimentation at the site is still going on, but the connection between the fluid injection and earthquake

33、 activity was quickly rea lized. Accordingly, the suggestion has been made that potentially destructive earthquakes could be converted into numerous nondestructive minor earthquakes by using fluid injection techniques. Thus, although man has no hope whatever of controlling the major earth movements

34、that lead to earthquakes, he may in some cases be able to influence the manner in which earthquake energy is dissipated.（分数：15.00）(1).Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?（分数：3.00）A.Awareness of Earthquake HazardsB.Earthquake Is a Dangerous ThingC.Earthquake Prediction and Co

43、it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bi

44、gger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can make som

45、e people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.（分数：15.00）(1).Adders are most likely to be found _.（分数：3.00）A.in wilder parts of Britain and IrelandB.in Scotland and nowhere elseC.on uncultivated land throughout BritainD.i
