Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we cant eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of the city to a dump(垃圾站). Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs(澡盆) and other places.To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then youd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus(腐殖土), which looks like black earth. It is rich with kinds of things that feed plants and help make them grow. （1）You can most probably read the passage in _.A . a history bookB . a TV guideC . a science bookD . a telephone book（2）The underlined word “sewage” in the passage means_.A . 排污B . 染色C . 洗涤D . 吸尘（3）According to the passage, the food parts of rubbish can be used again_.A . to feed animalsB . to feed plantsC . to build a houseD . to make machines（4）How should we take care of a used metal box according to the passage?A . By burning it off.B . By putting it in water.C . By throwing it away.D . By reusing and recycling it.23. （8分）阅读理解The Smith family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country. Now the Smith children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many advantages to knowing more than one language.If you can speak more than one language, you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so youre more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a persons understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each others problems.Its clear that knowing more than one language is really good. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people dont try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.（1）The passage begins with the experience of the Smith family in order to_. A . discuss the need for teaching a new languageB . introduce the passages main characters to the readersC . describe the advantages of moving to another countryD . show the problems of speaking only one language（2）The underlined phrase “multi-language speakers” (Paragraph 4) means “people who know _.” A . their mother languageB . a new languageC . more than one languageD . body language（3）According to the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst? A . Not knowing another language.B . Forgetting ones mother language.C . Refusing to learn another language.D . Failing to communicate with others.（4）What is the passage mainly about? A . The advantages of learning other languages.B . The reasons why people come to America.C . The importance of learning EnglishD . How to learn another language四、 根据句意及汉语提示完成句子。 (共2题；共11分)24. （1分）_/pdn/?

What is it? China may become the second largest economy (经济体) in the world. Its only behind the US.But is China the second richest country, too?No. The economy is like a cake. The US, Japan and China each makes one. China makes the second biggest cake. But lots of people have to eat it. Why? There are 1.3 billion people in China. And there are only 300 million people in the US and 127 million in Japan. So, in China, each person only gets a very, very small piece of cake. But people in the US and Japan have bigger pieces.China is not as rich as the US and Japan. For example, in the US, in every 100 people, 75 can surf the Internet; in Japan it is 74 in 100. But in China, only 26 people in 100 use the In
