aher family all supported arias dream baria now may be a woman police officer caria gave her dream to be a model daria passed the interview for the new york police departmentdin the united states alone, over 100 million cell-phones are thrown away each year. cell-phones are part of a growing mountain of electronic waste like computers and personal digital assistants. the electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional garbage as a whole.electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver. a swiss study reported that while the weight of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in comparison to total waste, the concentration (含量) of gold and other precious metals was higher in so-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals. electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals. even when the machines are recycled and the harmful metals removed, the recycling process often is carried out in poor countries, in practically uncontrolled ways which allow many poisonous substances to escape into the environment.creating products out of raw materials creates much more waste material, up to 100 times more, than the material contained in the finished products. consider again the cell-phone, and imagine the mines that produced those metals, the factories needed to make the box and packaging(包装) it came in. many wastes produced in the producing process are harmful as well. the u.s. environmental protection agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that “the production, distribution, and use of products as well as management of the resulting waste all result in greenhouse gas release.” individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less waste at the start for instance, buying reusable products and recycling. in many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or has been put in place as an incentive (动机) for reducing waste. if producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products, would they reduce the packaging in the first placegovernments incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they produce is usually based on money. why, they ask, should cities or towns be responsible for paying to deal with the bubble wrap (气泡垫) that encased your television from the governments point of view, a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and tax-payers back to the producers.32. which does not belong to electronic waste? _a. cell-phones b. computers c. television d. personal digital assistant33. whats the authors purpose to mention the swiss study? _ . a. the weight of e-goods is rather small b. natural minerals contain more precious metals c. e-waste deserves to be made good use of d. the percentage of precious metals is heavy in e-waste34. the responsibility of e-waste treatment should be extended _ . a. from producers to governments b. from government to individuals c. from individuals to distributors d. from governments to producers35. what does the passage mainly talk abouta. how to increase e-waste. b. how to manage e-waste.c. whats the result of e-waste. d. how serious the e-waste is.第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。“the chair is out to kill us, ”says james levine, a professor at the mayo school of medicine. most of us have years of sitting experiences, considering ourselves quite good at it. 36but unfortunately, a good deal of data suggests that were off our chairs to spend so much time on the vast variety of other seats where were fond of parking our bottoms. here are some things that scientists have learned about the insidious(潜伏的)nature of sitting. sitting position has gone wrong. 37 certainly people have done that for thousands of years. but lately, not so much. in general, scientists believe, americans now sit for more than half of their walking hours. sadly, the sitting position exerts force on the body which can lead to a lot of trouble including poor circulation(血液循环), aches and pains. make people become too fat.were not using much energy when were sitting still.38it is also just another way of saying “watch out for extra pounds . ”it is mainly the chair that has caused the increase in obesity rates. a person with a desk job may burn 300 calories a day at work, but the same person might burn 2, 300 calories a day in jobs that require considerable physical efforts. in other words, we need more walking to burn more calories. 39sitting at your desk and working hard for hours on end can increase your chances of getting a promotion. 40when comparing people who spent the most time sitting with those who spent the least time sitting, researchers found more sitting increases the risks of death from all causes. a. the human body is designed for walking. b. that is just another way of saying “we are not burning many calories”. c. they ought to work out to build their bodies. d. we should be more patient and work longer than before. e. realize the damage. f. but it also brings people diseases or even early death. g. we will say nature intends us to do it.第三部分完形填空(共20小题; 每小题1. 5分, 满分30分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。its a cold day in december. a little boy about 10-year-old was41in front of a shoe store on broadway, barefooted, peering42the window, and shivering with cold. a lady43the boy and said: “my little fellow, why are you looking so44in that window?
