waste will have to take it to the tip (垃圾站) or buy a limited number of extra bags. doretta cocks, protester of the campaign for weekly waste collections, said, “they must think we are fools. how can they claim to care for the environment when they tell people to drive to the local tip? and what do you do if you dont have a car? walk?”the plan pays little attention to the voice from ministers to end such heavy handedness (笨拙).it is to be carried out by the tory led council (市政厅) in wokingham, berkshire, and is already in operation in brozbourne in hertfordshire. many of the 180 councils that still offer unlimited weekly rubbish collections are watching the trial.wokingham officials have told residents(市民) that 75litre bags will be given to each household and anything not left in them will not be collected. “every household will receive 80 bags every year,” it said. “you can buy extra bags in rolls of ten but this will not be encouraged.”families of five will get 100 rubbish bags a year and households of six or more will get 120.residents will have a weekly recycling collection limited to cans, paper and cards, plastic bottles and so on.plastic packaging and glass including bottles must either go with the general waste or be taken to recycling points. green waste pick ups cost an extra 60 a year.the council has told residents it will save 922,000 a year under the new system. there will be no local consultation (商讨) before it is introduced next april.56. whats doretta cocks attitude towards the new plan?a. satisfied.b. curious.c. angry.d. interested.57. what does the underlined word “this” refer to in the seventh paragraph? a. receiving 80 rubbish bags every year. b. buying extra bags every year.c. driving to city tips. d. getting 100 rubbish bags a year.58. it

does not necessarily do good to the environment59. which of the following is the best title of the passage?a. english families are limited to 80 bags of rubbish a yearb. english families cant clear away their rubbishc. english families are angry with their governmentd. english government pays no attention to residents interest ( b )to extinguish （熄灭）different kinds of fires, several types of fire extinguishers have been invented. they must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out. most portable kinds operate for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires. the law requires ships, trains, buses and planes to carry extinguishers. since fuel（燃料）, oxygen and heat must be present in order for fire to exist, one or more of these things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire. if the heat is reduced by cooling the material below a certain temperature, the fire goes out. the cooling method is the most common way to put out a fire. water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get. another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen. this is usually done by covering the fire with sand, steam or some other things. a blanket may be used to cover a small fire. a third way is called separation, which includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from a fire, so that it can find no fuel. the method that is used to put out a fire depends on the type of fire. fires have been grouped in three classes（级别）. fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called class a fires. these materials usually help keep the fire on. such fires can be stopped most readily by cooling with water. 60. if a fire breaks out on a bus, which of the following should be ready there for you to use? a. sand b. an extinguisher c. a blanket. d. water 61. to cover a small piece of burning wood with a basin in order to stop the fire is an example of _. a. separating the fire b. cutting off the oxygen c. removing the fuel d. reducing the heat 62. in choosing how to put out a fire, we should first be clear about_. a. when it breaks out b. how it comes about c. what kind it is d. where it takes place 63. what would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? a. another class of fires b. another type of extinguishers c. how fires break out. d. how fires can be prevented. ( c ) if you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. this is the research finding of a team of japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise, and as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.professor taiju matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy farmers in northern japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a rather early age, and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.with a team of researchers at tokyo national university, he set about measuring brain sizes of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs.computer technology helped the researchers to get most exact measurements of the sizes of the front and side parts of the brain, which have something to do with thinking and feeling, and decide the human character. as we all know, the back part of the brain, which controls task like eating and breathing, does not contract(萎缩) with age.contraction of front and side parts, as cells(细胞) die off, was seen in some people in their thirties, but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction-using the head.the findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than those in the towns. those with least possibility, says matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. white-collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as possible to have contracting brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.64. the team of doctors wanted to find out _. a. at what point people grow live longer. b. how to make people live longer c. the size of certain peoples brains. d. which group of people are the busiest65. their research findings are based on _.c a. an examination of farmers in northern japan b. using computer technology c. examining the brain sizes of different people d. tests given a thousand old people 66. according to the article, _ are growing mentally old earlier. a. engineers b. office clerks c. professors d. researchers67. the most possible conclusion of the article is that _. a. most of us should take more exercise b. its better to live in the towns c. the brain contracts if it is not used d. the more one uses his brain, the sooner he becomes old（ d ） during the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another. it can be understood that many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything, from organized sports to music, dance and more. but we overdo it, leaving our children feeling a little tired, and according to parent educator diane loisie, its their school work that suffers the most. “after school, if theyre busy in a number of sporting events, besides they need to do their homework, then the time theyll feel sleepy is in the classroom. your child needs free time. so if youre filling up that after school time, then its during the day theyre going to be taking a break. ” professor claire mcdermott agrees that theres a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those planned lessons and activities away. “relaxing time is important for children. its time just to do the things they want to do. a child can go up to their room, or they can play around. it doesnt look like useful time; parents certainly wouldnt be saying wow, are they ever learning things now? but this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day. it helps a child prepare for sleep, but it also helps to understand the learning thats gone on that day. ” its hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons. after all, many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that. however, loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them. “when we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything, then what were doing is setting them up not to be good at one thing or gaining a skill. ” so choose your childrens activities wisely. it may be one of the best things youve ever done for your kids and for the family driver! 68. what is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school? a. they can get bored easily about everyt
