( ) 1. what is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry? a. it has been followed by the industry for over 400 years. b. it is different for mens clothing and womens. c. it woks better with men than with women. d. it fails to consider right-handed people. ( ) 2. what do we know about the rich men in the 17th century? a. they tended to wear clothes without buttons. b. they were interested in the historical matters. c. they were mostly dressed by servants. d. they drew their swords from the left. ( ) 3. womens clothes still button from the left today because.a. adopting mens style is improper for women b. manufacturers should follow standards c. modern women dress themselves d. customs are hard to change ( ) 4. the passage is mainly developed by. a. analyzing causes b. making comparisons c. examining differences d. following the time order 【语篇解读 语篇解读】本文由男女衣服的不同,分析产生这种不同的原因,并且告诉我们这种不同为

deposit on beverage (=drink) containers. within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles. plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw material for new products, but because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound end up buried in landfills(垃圾填埋场). the problem was not limited to new york. unfortunately, there were too few uses for second-hand plastic.today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled in the united states. the reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence post, paint brushes, etc.as the new york experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish. a discard remains a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second life and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value. without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for recycling, throwaways actually depress prices for used materials.shrinking landfill space and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. in many areas, the east coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste-management option. for every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of new york, amounts to savings of more than $100 per ton. recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and reduces the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.6. what regulation was issued by new york state concerning beverage containers?a. a fee should be charged on used containers for recycling.b. throwaways should be collected by the state for recycling.c. consumers had to pay for beverage containers and could get their money back on returning them.d. beverage companies should be responsible for collecting and reusing discarded plastic soda bottles.7 the returned plastic bottles in new york used to .a. be turned into raw materialsb. be separated from other rubbish c. have a second-life valued. end up somewhere underground8. the key problem in dealing with returned plastic beverage containers is .a. how to reduce their recycling costsb. to sell them at a profitable pricec. how to turn them into useful thingsd. to lower the prices for used materials9. recycling has become the first choice for the disposal of rubbish because .a. recycling causes little pollutionb. other methods are more expensivec. recycling has great appeal for the joblessd. local governments find it easy to manage10 it can be concluded from the passage that .a.recycling is to be recommended both economically and environmentallyb. local governments in the u. s. can expect big profits from recyclingc. rubbish is a potential remedy for the shortage of raw materialsd. landfills will still be widely used for waste disposal 全解全析本文讲美国纽约1993年颁布法令要求商场就饮料瓶对顾客收费后的执行情况。c 推理判断题。由第一段第一句和第二句可推知。d 细节理解题。由第一段第三句中的but分句可知。c 细节理解题。由第一段最后一句和第三段第二句可知。b 细节理解题。由最后一段第二句可知。a 推理判断题。由最后一段的最后一句可推知。阅读理解-cnasa is moving ahead with plans to put a long-armed lander on mars icy north pole to search for clues for water and possible signs of life.the $386 million phoenix mars is planned to touch down in the martian arctic in 2008. the stationary probe will use its robotic arm to dig into the icy land and pick up soil samples to analyze. in 2002, the mars odyssey orbiter spotted evidence of ice-rich soil near the arctic surface. scientists hope the phoenix mission will find clues to the geologic history of water on the red planet and determine whether microbes existed in the ice.phoenix will be the first mission of the mars scout program, a renewed, low-cost effort to study the red planet. “the phoenix mission explores new territory in the northern plains of mars analogous to the permafrost regions on earth,” peter smith said. true to its name, phoenix rose from the ashes of previous missions. the lander for phoenix was built to fly as part of the 2001 mars surveyor program. but the program broke down after the well-known disappearance of the mars polar lander in 1999. the polar lander lost contact during a landing attempt near the planets south pole after its rocket engine shut off prematurely, causing the spacecraft to fall about 130 feet to almost certain destruction. the phoenix probe had been in storage at a lockheed martin clean room in denver before it was reused for its present mission. it will carry science instruments that were designed for t
