It is reported that some developed countries have shipped(运往)broken parts of computers to China. Last month Hong Kong officers found 131,000 kilograms of broken computers,TVs and phones sent from Japan.
Things like these are called electronic waste,or e-waste. Dealing with them is not an easy job. Every time an old computer breaks down,it needs to be dealt with safely. What is worse,at present,broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds of years before they are really gone in the earth.
Many places in China are polluted by e-waste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as “the e-waste capital of the world”. It has to deal with 1.5 million kilograms of e-waste each year,from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost.
Many of the poisons in e-waste find their way into the environment. An environmental group has found the air,the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.
Luckily,the Chinese government wants to change the situation. This year,China passed a new environmental protection law. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. Hopefully,the problem with e-waste will be solved in the near future.
19. The e-waste found in Hong Kong last month was from ________.

This is a story from a meeting held by some people and two things in nature. We call it the Four-Sided Talk. Let's “listen to” everyone carefully and find out what they think.
People: We have lived on the earth since ancient times. The earth is our home. Now we regret what we have done to our home!The earth belongs to all of us. From now on,we should not only make full use of the resources(资源)on the earth,but also beautify and protect the earth. Let's try our best!
An old tree: I am thousands of years old,but I have fewer and fewer friends. I'm afraid that soon I will be cut. People cut down many trees to make paper and chopsticks. They destroy the forests and the natural environment. Now there are no trees to make air and to protect people from floods. Mother nature is making many disasters to teach people a lesson.
The river: What the old tree said is right. I not only make the earth more beautiful,but also provide the clean water for people and animals to drink. Now I'm sad because people put waste and garbage into us,which kills many animals and plants that drink our water. People drink this kind of water and get sick too.
The United Nations: We only know a little bit about the environmental problems. Hearing what all of you said,we have made up our minds to protect the earth and love the earth. We have also made the June 5th World Environment Day.
23. What's the United Nations' decision in the Four-Sided Talk?
A. Set an Earth Day.
B Find out what is making the pollution.
C. Hold an international meeting.
D. Protect and love the earth.
24. What doesn't the old tree tell us?

D. People are destroying the natural environment.
25. Why do some people get sick after drinking the water from the river?
A. Because the river is polluted.
B. Because the river makes the earth more beautiful.
C. Because the river can only offer water to animals.
D. Because there are too many animals and plants in the river.
26. What will people do according to the passage?
①Over-use the resources.
②Beautify the earth.
③Start a global group.
④Protect the earth.
A. ①④ B. ②③
C. ①③ D. ②④

Farthing is moving indoors,where the sun never shines,where rain never falls and where the weather is always proper. The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light, temperature,wetness,air quality and nutrition. It could be in a building in New York or in a desert in Sahara.
The world is already having trouble feeding itself. Half the people on Earth live in cities,and nearly half of those are hungry or ill﹣fed. Food prices are buffeted by,floods and the cost of energy required to plant, harvest and transport it. And prices will only get more changeable. Farmers in many parts of the world already are using water available to the last drop. And the world is getting more crowded by mid﹣century,the world's population will grow front 6. 8 billion to 9 billion.
To feed so many people may require more farmland , as a result , forests and wilderness(荒地)are becoming fewer and fewer.
Gertjan Meeuws has taken the idea of a greenhouse a step further, growing vegetables and houseplants in enclosed(封闭的)environments. In their research station , water flows into the fields when needed,and the temperature is kept the same. Lights go on and off, creating similar day and night,but according to the needs of the plants.
A building of 100 square meters and 14 layers(层)of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 grams of fresh fruit and vegetables to the entire population of Den Bosch, about 140,000 people. Their idea isn' t to grow foods that require much space,like corn or potatoes. Here sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful. Plants need only specific(特定地)light to grow. Their growth speed is three times faster than under greenhouse conditions. They use about 90 percent less water than outdoor agriculture. And city farming means producing food near the citizens, and there's no need to transport it long distances.
27 The underlined word "buffeted" in Paragraph 2 means .
A. badly influenced
B. caused
C. divided
D. well achieved
28. Which of the following is TRUE of the environments in the research station?
A. The temperature is often changed.
B. Sunshine is in great need for plants.
C. Day and night depends on plants.
D. Air quality is controlled by plants.
29. It can be inferred from the text that Gertjan Meeuws's farming .
A. is of great help to the people who live in the city
B saves less water compared with outdoor agriculture
C. is completely different from greenhouse agriculture
D. requires much space and suits the production of corn
30. What is the passage mainly about?
A Disadvantages of outdoor farming
B. Development of greenhouse farming
C. The world's food problems
D. Sunless,rainless indoor farming

In common with many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.
Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.
Part of the problem is the new “out of town” shopping centers. In the past, people often walked to shops near their home or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centers. As a result, the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.
Critics (评论员)say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport. Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600 km) can cost about 100 pounds, for example. A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over 1.00 pound.
Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.

People: We have lived on the earth since ancient times. The earth is our home. Now we regret what we have done to our home!The earth belongs to all of us. From now on,we should not only make full use of the resources(资源)on the earth,but also beautify and protect the earth. Let's try our best!
An old tree: I am thousands of years old,but I have fewer and fewer friends. I'm afraid that soon I will be cut. People cut down many trees to make paper and chopsticks. They destroy the forests and the natural environment. Now there are no trees to make air and to protect people from floods. Mother nature is making many disasters to teach people a lesson.
The river: What the old tree said is right. I not only make the earth more beautiful,but also provide the clean water for people and animals to drink. Now I'm sad because people put waste and garbage into us,which kills many animals and plants that drink our water. People drink this kind of water and get sick too.
The United Nations: We only know a little bit about the environmental problems. Hearing what all of you said,we have made up our minds to protect the earth and love the earth. We have also made the June 5th World Environment Day.

Farthing is moving indoors,where the sun never shines,where rain never falls and where the weather is always proper. The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light, temperature,wetness,air quality and nutrition. It could be in a building in New York or in a desert in Sahara.
The world is already having trouble feeding itself. Half the people on Earth live in cities,and nearly half of those are hungry or ill﹣fed. Food prices are buffeted by,floods and the cost of energy required to plant, harvest and transport it. And prices will only get more changeable. Farmers in many parts of the world already are using water available to the last drop. And the world is getting more crowded by mid﹣century,the world's population will grow front 6. 8 billion to 9 billion.
To feed so many people may require more farmland , as a result , forests and wilderness(荒地)are becoming fewer and fewer.
Gertjan Meeuws has taken the idea of a greenhouse a step further, growing vegetables and houseplants in enclosed(封闭的)environments. In their research station , water flows into the fields when needed,and the temperature is kept the same. Lights go on and off, creating similar day and night,but according to the needs of the plants.
A building of 100 square meters and 14 layers(层)of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 grams of fresh fruit and vegetables to the entire population of Den Bosch, about 140,000 people. Their idea isn' t to grow foods that require much space,like corn or potatoes. Here sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful. Plants need only specific(特定地)light to grow. Their growth speed is three times faster than under greenhouse conditions. They use about 90 percent less water than outdoor agriculture. And city farming means producing food near the citizens, and there's no need to transport it long distances.
27. The underlined word "buffeted" in Paragraph 2 means .
A. badly influenced
B. caused
C. divided
D. well achieved
28. Which of the following is TRUE of the environments in the research station?
A. The temperature is often changed.
B. Sunshine is in great need for plants.
C. Day and night depends on plants.
D. Air quality is controlled by plants.
29. It can be inferred from the text that Gertjan Meeuws's farming .
A. is of great help to the people who live in the city
B. saves less water compared with outdoor agriculture
C. is completely different from greenhouse agriculture
D. requires much space and suits the production of corn
30. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Disadvantages of outdoor farming
B. Development of greenhouse farming
C. The world's food problems
D. Sunless,rainless indoor farming
【答案】27. A 28. C 29. A 30. D
【解析】
文章主要讲了地球人口众多,这个世界已经很难养活自己了,价格昂贵,GertjanMeeuws把温室的想法更进一步,在封闭的环境中种植蔬菜和室内植物。
【27题详解】
推测词义题 根据Food prices are buffeted by,floods and the cost of energy required to plant, harvest and transport it.粮食价格被水灾和种植、收获和运输所需能源费用的……,这么多的费用粮食价格会被影响,比较贵,联系答案我们可以知道是影响,同时有下文And prices will only get more changeable是受这些因素影响价格多变,故选A。

细节理解题 根据Half the people on Earth live in cities are hungry or ill﹣fed. 城市的人受饿,而食物价格贵受运费等的影响,Gertjan Meeuws'scity farming means producing food near the citizens, and there's no need to transport it long distances.Gertjan Meeuws's city farming会让粮食价格降低,故对城市人有好处,故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题 根据文章第一段引入话题句子The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light, temperature,wetness可知,文章讲的是无光无雨的室内农业,同时根据正文为解决粮食问题而提出室内农业,不需要阳光雨水,故选D。
任务型阅读
In common with many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.
Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.
Part of the problem is the new “out of town” shopping centers. In the past, people often walked to shops near their home or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centers. As a result, the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.
Critics (评论员)say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport. Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600 km) can cost about 100 pounds, for example. A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over 1.00 pound.
Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.
