New Practical English Course IModel Test FourPart One: Reading ComprehensionPassage OneWe all know that humans are damaging the environment, but what can we do about it? Some people are trying to do their bit to try to be more environmentally friendly (环保的).Local councils in Britain encourage certain aspects of green living, such as recycling paper, plastic and glass. They want to reduce the amount of rubbish going into landfill sites (垃圾处理场), because they are running out of places to dump rubbish. In some areas rubbish for recycling is collected from your doorstep, but in other areas, you have to take it to a special recycling place. Another way of reducing the amount of rubbish you create is to use reusable products instead of disposable (一次性的) ones. For example, some people use strong shopping bags or boxes for their groceries instead of plastic carrier bags, or use washable cloth bags instead of disposables.You can make “green” choices when buying food too. Its best to buy food which was locally grown or produced so that it hasnt been imported by air, or transported long distances by road. You can also create your own solar energy and wind energy though these can be expensive. You can also save water by using rain water for washing the car or watering the garden. Its even possible to use a system where “grey water” water which has been through a tap once already, is used to wash out toilets. Some new housing projects are being specifically to be as environmentally friendly as possible.1.The word “they” (Line 3, Para.2) refers to _.A) the amount of rubbishB) local councils in BritainC) landfill sitesD) recycled paper, plastic and glass2.Paragraph 2 mainly talks about _.A) how to create special recycling placesB) how to reduce the amount of rubbishC) how to recycle productsD) how to use reusable products3.You are advised to buy locally grown and produced food because _.A) it doesnt add pressure to transportationB) it is green and more freshC) it is much cheaperD) it is not polluted on the road4.What is said about saving water in the passage?A) To use rain water and recycle used water.B) To turn tap water to “grey water”.C) To use rain water to do washing.D) To use the tap water to wash out toilets.5.The best title for the passage is _.A) No more RubbishB) Saving EnvironmentC) Healthy FoodD) Green livingPassage TwoCommunity service is an important component of education here at our university.
