9、 by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.15 Each day every person in the United States throws away more than five pounds of garbage(垃圾). There is more garbage now than ever before and most of it is made up of the packages and cans in which we put our food. The traditional way of g
10、etting rid of solid wastes is quickly becoming inadequate. Many cities are experimenting with newer ways of handling their growing piles of garbage.One of these new ways is “recycling“(回收使用). Through recycling usable materials are taken out of garbage and made into something else. These usable parts
11、 of garbage are put through the cycle of going from a raw material to a finished product again.In some cities a machine called Hydrapulper is being used to help recycle garbage. A Hydrapulper is like a huge mixing machine. The garbage is dropped onto a conveyor belt (传送带) that feeds the machine. At
12、the same time, water is pumped into the Hydrapulper. With a mixing action, the Hydrapulper throws out the heavy metal objects that can later be sold as waste metal. The rest of the garbagepaper, food, plastic, rubber, glass, wood, leaves, and other itemsfalls apart. The waste is then mixed with wate
13、r and carried to another piece of equipment where glass, sand and small pieces of metal are thrown out.With the Hydrapulper, up to 95 percent of the original garbage is made again useful. The rest turns into furnace ash(炉灰).16 Traditionally, garbage is thought to be _.（A）a worthless burden to big ci

They impose their own living conditions on the people who inhabit them.
18、 City-dwellers are obliged by their environment to adopt a wholly unnatural way of life. They lose touch with the land and rhythm of nature. It is possible to live such an air-conditioned existence in a large city that you are barely conscious of the seasons. A few flowers in a public park (if you h
19、ave time to visit it) may remind you that it is spring or summer. A few leaves clinging to the pavement may remind you that it is autumn. Beyond that, what is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. All the simple, good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are at a premium(珍贵). Tall build
20、ings blot out the sun. Traffic fumes pollute the atmosphere.Even the distinction between day and night is lost. The flow of traffic goes on unceasingly and the noise never stops.21 Which is NOT one of the reasons why city life is not preferable?（A）The people are not in regular communication with the
21、 rhythm of nature.（B） The people cant enjoy sunshine and fresh air.（C） Modern cities offer better schools, more chances of employment.（D）Traffic fumes pollute the air. 22 What are highly esteemed in big cities?（A）Living conditions.（B） Sunshine and fresh air.（C） Air-conditioned houses.（D）A few flower

23、f you want to know what season it is, _.（A）it is advisable for you to cling to the pavement（B） youd better visit a public park（C） you can remind yourself that it is spring or summer（D）you should be barely conscious of the seasons 25 Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?（A）Large moder
24、n cities are not good to live in.（B） Living in large modern cities has so many disadvantages.（C） All the simple, good things of life are imposed on the people who inhabit large cities.（D）Many things that are going on in nature are not connected with large cities. 25 Lawyers are regarded as Darth Vad
25、ers of the New Age in America. America has become overpopulated with lawyersthe legal profession has transformed the American system into a government of the lawyers, by the lawyers and for the lawyers. This has led to an explosion of litigation(诉讼), which has burdened the paying public with billion
26、s in legal bills. These are paid by all the people in the form of higher costs, higher prices and lower productivity.As a group, lawyers are one of the most reactionary forces in American society. In an age when we need cooperation and self-responsibility, they promote conflict and blame. Where we n
27、eed unity, they promote division. Where we need honest communications, they practice the art of distortion in an effort to win legal games.A recent study reported in the San Francisco Chronicle found lawyers bad for the economy. They are obviously bad for the total society; they have been called Ame
28、ricas own home grown terrorists due to their explosive, random, and negative impact on the nation. It has been suggested that nothing would benefit the society more than a five year moratorium(延期偿付) on all civil litigation and locking down the law schools until the next century. Of course, this will
29、 never happen. Lawyers are powerful figures in the Receding Age and they will not readily surrender their privileged positions.Given the negative impact of lawyers on society in general, it is not surprising that they have had a very negative impact upon the employee-employer relationship as well. T
30、he number of so-called “wrongful discharge“ cases has increased dramatically as lawyers have found a new area to exploit. Some employees now spend more time documenting their cases against their employers for future litigation than they do performing their duties.26 Which of the following is NOT the
31、 result of excessive lawyers in America?（A）Higher costs.（B） Higher prices.（C） Lower productivity.（D）Lower crime rate. 27 Why do we say that lawyers are one of the most reactionary forces in American society?（A）They practice the art of distortion in an effort to win legal games where we need honest c
32、ommunications.（B） They promote conflict and blame when we need cooperation and self-responsibility.（C） They promote division where we need unity.（D）All of the above. 28 Which of the following words describes the authors attitude to lawyers?（A）Optimistic.（B） Indifferent.（C） Negative.（D）Anxious. 29 Wh
33、ich of the following is NOT true?（A）Its reported that lawyers are bad for the economy.（B） Lawyers have been called terrorists due to their explosive, random, and negative impact on the nation.（C） A five year moratorium on all civil litigation and locking down the law schools until the next century h
34、ave been put into practice in America.（D）Lawyers gave a very negative impact upon the employee-employer relationship. 30 Which is the best title of the passage?（A）The Legal Profession in America.（B） How to Avoid the Negative Impact Caused by Lawyer.（C） Darth Vaders of the New Age in America.（D）Being
35、 a Good Lawyer. 30 I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers ar
36、e all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at (attempting to seize) one anothers hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set o
37、ff in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thusandsuch a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoons(蚕茧) into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager t
38、o stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of todays parents have come toward high marks for the popularity of their chi
39、ldren. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collectin
40、g records. You may have some thoughts that you dont care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will comewith the people who respect you for who you are. Thats the only kind of popularity that really counts.31 The authors purpose in writing this
