Such a thing can be found almost every day although it is against international laws. Last month Hong Kong officers found 131,000 kilograms of broken computers, TVs and phones sent from Japan.Things like these are called electronic waste, or e-waste. Dealing with them is not an easy job because dangerous poisons like mercury (汞) and lead (铅) can be round in them. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs to be dealt with safely. But at present, broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds of years before they are really gone in the earth.Many places in China are polluted by e-waste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as the e-waste capital of the world. It has to deal with l.5 million kilograms of e-waste each year, from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost. Many of the poisons in e-waste find their way into the environment. Plastic is burned outdoors and chemical water is poured into rivers. Greenpeace, an environmental group, has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.The Chinese government wants the country to develop, but in a way that doesnt do harm to the environment and peoples life. This year, China passed a new environmental protection law, the strictest one we have ever had. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. This is because the companies that make computers know best how to deal with them safely. Hopefully, the problem with e-waste will be solved in the near future.（1）The e-waste found in Hong Kong last month was from .A . FranceB . JapanC . GermanyD . Australia（2）The underlined word buried probably means in the passage.A . 焚烧B . 降解C . 回收D . 掩埋（3）The town of Guiyu in Guangdong ProvinceA . is the e-capital of the worldB . has serious e-waste pollutionC . deals with the e-waste safelyD . spends much money on e-waste（4）This year, the Chinese government .A . tried to change peoples lifeB . closed some computer companiesC . made a new environmental protection lawD . asked people to hand in their old computers（5）The passage is mainly about .A . the ways to deal with e-wasteB . the cost of burning e-wasteC . the e-waste problem in ChinaD . the need to pass a law against e-waste5. （8分）阅读理解 My cousin Bill likes going to the beach on Sundays.
