When your pen is broken, the battery in your toy runs out, or you have some leftover food (厨余食物). What do you do with these things You will probably throw them into one bin.
But actually, all of these pieces of trash need to be sorted (分类) separately.
Garbage sorting is a big issue worldwide. In recent years, some Chinese cities have been working hard on it.
Shanghai has worked with Alipay (支付宝) to create a “green account (绿色账户)” service for its residents. Account holders get points by correctly sorting their garbage. Through the Alipay app, they can exchange the points for milk, phone cards and other products. The city is asking all of its residents to sort their garbage into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.
Wet waste is also known as household waste. “They are things you don’t want, but that pigs can eat,” Guangzhou Daily explained.
Paper, metal (金属), glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.
Harmful waste includes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯泡).
Finally, any waste that’s not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in the “dry waste” bin.
Many other Chinese cities are also using this method to sort their garbage. For example, Shenzhen has been sorting its garbage into the same four groups since 2012. Students there also receive waste-sorting guidebooks that they must study.
China is improving its waste-sorting efforts. There is still a long way to go. But it’s never too late to learn how to sort your trash properly and protect the environment.
If you don’t sort your garbage, all of it will go to a landfill (垃圾填理场) and be buried together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could have been used for planting trees or crops. The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries, can pollute the soil and groundwater (地下水). Other pieces of garbage, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.
29. How should we deal with all kinds of garbage
A. We can throw them into one bin.
B. We can throw them away freely.
C. We can reuse them all
D. We can sort them separately.
30. How is Shanghai encouraging people to sort their garbage
A. Creating a “green account” service with the help of Alipay
B. Paying people to sort their trash correctly
C. Allowing people to exchange garbage with each other
D. Providing its residents with guidebooks to help them
31. Which of the following would be classified as wet waste
A. Batteries B. Glasses C. Leftover food D. Medicine
32. What do we know about garbage sorting in China
A. It started its garbage sorting system in 2012.
B. Students have to take waste-sorting classes in school.
C. There is still a lot of work to be done in this area.
D. Burying garbage is a common method of getting rid of garbage.
33. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. Where we can bury our waste.
B. Why we should sort our garbage properly.
C. What kinds of waste can pollute the environment.
D. How some kinds of waste can be reused and recycled.
C
From tiny seeds (种子), great discoveries grow. Recently, China's Chang'e 4 (嫦娥4号) moon lander carried a mini-garden. It became home to the first plant to grow on another world. This is yet another success for Chang'e 4.
On January 2, the probe (探测器) became the first lander to touch down on the far side of the moon. This is the unknown face of the moon that is always looking away from us, so we never see it from down here on the earth. Although it is often regarded as the dark side of the moon, the far side actually gets as much sunshine as the near side. For example, when all we can see is a sliver of a new moon, the far side of the moon is in full sunlight.
Part of Chang'e 4's mission (使命) is to see how a moon base could be built for humans, including exploring (探索) whether humans could grow food and other plant products there. Chang'e 4 carried a mini-garden with air, water and soil with seeds planted in it. When plants shoot on the earth, their stems grow away from the gravity (the force that keeps your feet on the ground), and so they always shoot upwards. The moon's gravity is a sixth as strong as the earth's, so Chang'e 4's experiment was a test: would the earth plants know which way was up on the moon Four days after landing, a tiny cotton shoot showed that they do.
Night has now fallen on the far side of the moon; sunlight will not return until the start of February. As a result, the cotton shoots died. Besides the darkness, the plants can't stand the cold (it can drop to - 170℃ on the moon at night). However, the experiment is a success, since it has proved that it is possible for plants to grow in space.
34. What is the passage is mainly about
A. Another success for Chang'e 4. B. Chang'e 4 moon lander.
C. Tiny seeds in the soil. D. The steps of an experiment.
35. Which of the following is TRUE about Chang'e 4
A. It carried a mini-garden. B. It landed on the near side of the moon.
C. It explored the moon base. D. It found plants on the moon.
36. What can we know from the text
A. The far side of the moon gets less sunlight.
B. We can see the far side of the moon from the earth.
C. The stems fail to grow away from the earth's gravity.
D. The earth plants know the way to grow on the moon.
37. What can be inferred (推理) from the text
A. Plants can be grown on the moon soon.
B. It is perfect to do experiments on the moon.
C. The cotton shoots can last days on the moon.
D. We can see a new moon at the start of February.
38. In which section of a magazine can you read the text
A. Health and sport. B. History and culture.
C. Science and technology. D. Population and environment.

Dear Eric,
I right away realized that you needed help when I read your letter. Now I would like to share something about your problems.
During the last school year of your junior high school, studies have been so heavy that you can hardly breathe. Therefore, reducing stress seems more important. Meanwhile, you should study hard. First, you should improve learning efficiency. That is to say, you must listen carefully in class. When you face problems, you can ask the excellent students for help. In addition, relaxing yourself is also important. You can listen to music or play sports. Most importantly, you must communicate more with your parents. In my opinion, communication is a useful way to solve problems.
Yours
Miss Pear
