other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes (结合)for the recycling of waste. the word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything that goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.the latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. the aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. this plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber.another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. when this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that grounders and rollers break up everything that can be broken. finally the rubbish will pass under magnets, which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.the first full-scale giant recycling plants are, perhaps, fifteen years away. indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.1. the main purpose of the passage is _.a. to show us a future way of recycling wastes b. to tell the importance of recycling wastesc. to warn people the danger of some wastes d. to introduce a new recycling plant2. how many stages are there

profits.c. its more economical than to dump wastes in some distant places.d. energy can be got at a lower price. 4. the first full-scale huge recycling plants _.a. have been in existence for 15 years b. takes 15 years to buildc. cant be built until 15 years later d. will remain functioning for 15 years5cevery once in a while, it is necessary to take a step back in order to take a long, hard look at where we are in our lives. at this point, it is good to ask yourself a bunch of critical questions. have you so far accomplished all of your goals in life ? if so, you have not accomplished your

to succeed in life. do not be unrealistic because life is not a fairy tale. but you should try to recognize what you want,when attempting to visualize（形象化） or otherwise express what your goals in life are. in order for a goal to sufficiently motivate you, it needs to be a major one. the bigger your goals are, then the more motivated you will need to be to work towards accomplishing them. if you want, you are a beginner, then no doubt mastering those tough songs is a very intelligent and realistic goal to set. but if that is your only goal as a pianist achieved. this is why it is necessary to constantly stop and re-evaluate our goals so that we are aware of what they are, and thus stay motivated.49. from the passage, if your goals have all been achieved, you should then _.a. ask yourself

peoples republic of china has maintained close contact with cambodia. bilateral(双边的) trade volume has increased rapidly in recent years, from 200 million us dollars in 2002 to nearly 2.5 billion us

in the internal affairs of other countries.”the ambassador says sihanouks death is a huge loss to both china and cambodia, but that bilateral relations will not be affected.pan guangxue said, “i
