Of the 54 big cities studied by the World Health Organization and the United Nations，Milan was considered to have the worst air pollution. According to these two 10-year studies，the level of air pollution in Milan is twice as high as the levels in Paris and Beijing and three times those in Tokyo and London，and four times that in New York. The reason for Milans bad pollution，to some experts，is that the city lies in a valley that holds back the poisonous gases. Though Milan has taken some measures（措施）to lower the level of pollution，the situation is still worrying. People joke to each other，“If youre traveling to Milan，be sure to bring your gas mask（面具）.”In order to reduce the use of private cars in 1979.the authorities（当局）in Milan began an interesting experiment：Passengers in the city buses didnt have to pay for their tickets.36Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned（提到）in the passage? AMilans air is regarded to be worst polluted in Europe. BExperts thought that the air in Milan was badly polluted. CThe reason for the air pollution in Milan. DMeasures have been taken by Milan to reduce the air pollution.37Why is the air pollution in Milan so serious? ABecause the city 1ies in a place where it is difficult for polluted air to move away.BBecause too many cars are being driven in the city.C.Because the city lies in a place where there are some mountains near it. . DBecause Milan has taken some worrying measures.38According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE? AMilan has taken some measures and the air pollutions is being reduced. BMilan has taken some measuresbut the air pollution is still troublesome（麻烦的）. CMilan has taken no measures so far to 1ower the 1evel of pollution. DMilan has taken every step to reduce the air pollution.39The government of Milan encouraged the people to take city buses for free in order to _. Ahave a safer transport Bstop the air pollution completely Cincrease the income（收入）of the bus companyDreduce the pollution made by cars BThe Chinese government has announced measures to ban the production (生产)and free distribution (发放) of plastic bags to stop a growing tide of waste.Under new rules beginning on June 1, all supermarkets, department stores and shops will be banned from handing out free bags to customers. The laws, posted on a government website, called for “a return to cloth bags and shopping baskets to reduce the use of plastic bags”.While providing convenience to customers, they have also caused serious pollution, and waste of resources, because of excessive use and inadequate (不充分的) recycling,” the notice said.The elderly owner of a grocery shop, Wang Hai, said the Chinese measures could reduce sales at first but would be of great benefit in the future. Besides, it is strongly suggested that waste collectors should step up recycling efforts to reduce the amount of bags burned or buried. The government is also considering tax (税) measures to cut back on plastic bag production and sale. A similar action last year to ban free plastic bags in the southern town of Shenzhen caused a public debate, with shopkeepers worrying that customers might be turned away.Chinas action won praise from environmental organizations including Greenpeace, which officially made a statement welcoming the ban. “The governments announcement to ban free plastic bags is a perfect case to combine the two of the major forces in environment protection: public participation (参与) and government guidance,” Greenpeace said.Laws to reduce the use of plastic bags have been carried out in several countries including parts of South Africa, Ireland and Bangladesh. The governments in these countries either tax shoppers who use them or charge fees on companies that hand them out. Last year San Francisco became the first US city to ban plastic grocery bags and German stores must pay a recycling fee if they wish to offer them. 40. What does the passage mainly tell us about?A. Laws to reduce the use of plastic bags. B. Chinas new action: ban on plastic bags. C. Environment protection or plastic production. D. Production ban to stop a growing tide of waste. 41.

Teams of young people, many of whom were on opposite sides during the seven-year-long civil war, now compete peacefully and passionately (热诚地) on a football field.“We had no food to eat,” Edwin, 15, said. “My father and little brother died of sickness.” Edwin now plays for the Wild Lion Football Club. He has a football scholarship (奖学金) to attend a local high school. Sports have been a big help for Edwin. “Football,” he said, “makes me feel happy.” Each Saturday morning, lots of young people gather to take part in sports and music programmes that are part of the Support to War Affected Youth (SWAY) project. After joining the project, none of the young people have taken up arms(武器) in the recent border conflicts (冲突). And the teamwork learned on the sports field has had an effect on the way how they treat each other in their daily lives.With each new match, a bit more recovering takes place. “It does not depend on where you are from,” Edwin said. “We come together as one.” Liberia is not the only place where football and other sports are helping young people get an education. In Brazil, where football is a national passion, a programme called “Spaces of Hope” reaches out to poor children in poor areas. As part of the project, two members of the Brazilian national football team have founded centres that combine study and sports. Meanwhile, in southern Brazil, football provides an important way for troubled young people to control and direct their energy, failure and anger.44. Which of the following is TRUE about SWAY project in Liberia? A. It educates young people not to join the army. B. It helps young people to communicate in class. C.
