Then where does it go? That depends on where you live. Different towns deal with trash in different ways.RecyclingA recycling truck picks up paper, cardboard, metal, plastic and glass. These go to the recycling plant to be sorted and made into new things.IncineratorAn incinerator is a huge stove that burns trash to make heat and electricity. The ash thats left gets buried in a landfill. Trash ash can be poisonous, so it has to be stored carefully. But it takes up a lot less room than just plain trash.CompostFood waste might go to a composter. In a compost heap(堆肥堆), bacteria and worms break down dead plants and old food. They turn it into good, rich oil. Some people keep compost heaps in their gardens. Big commercial composters handle waste from restaurants and farms.LandfillsSome trash gets buried in landfills. A landfill starts as a big hole. Trucks dump trash. Big earth movers push it into place and crush it down. They cover the trash with dirt to keep scavengers(食腐动物) away. The bottom of a landfill is lined with a barrier to keep bad things from leaking into the ground. Pipes drain away liquid. When the landfill is full, its covered with earth. It might become a park or lawn.()56. What can we learn from the passage?A. Recycling helps to generate energy.B. Bacteria and worms help handle food waste.C. The landfill is used to drive scavengers away.D. Trash ash is carefully handled to save room.()57. Whats the purpose of the passage?A. To inform us of trash treatment. B. To appeal for trash classification.C. To discuss solutions to trash pollution. D. To raise awareness of the harm of trash.BYour first bigscreen experience is likely to have been Disney productionswhether we are talking about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or Frozenthat have long been considered safe, healthy choices for kids, and pictures that parents can feel they dont need to screen in advance.When you are a big person, a movie seen in a theatre is much larger than life; when youre a little person, it can be like a new entry opening in the universe. Those experiences matter, and Disney knows the powerand the profit potentialof whats in its values, which helps explain the studios ongoing strategy of remaking its most popular animated films, often in liveaction versions.How do you feel about directors interpretation of these movies, a combination of liveaction filmmaking techniques, virtualreality methods and computergenerated imaginary, depends largely on how you feel about the original. The stories, even with a gently updated script, are roughly the same. If youve seen the original, you know how the rest of them go.In the following years, well also watch other Disneys remakes such as Mulan. Any children raised by Disney films would think that this is a great time to be alive. Right?But judging by critics ratings of some liveaction movies, it seems that the powerful studio has been unable to wow audiences.So why more live actions?The moneyLets face it: Walt Disney Pictures is all about generating more revenue. Even though it did not manage to capture critics, it still managed to catch the audiences hearts. And that is more than enough. After all, films are not made to entertain critics; its all about creating an ultimate cinematic experience for casual moviegoers. And as long as theyre entertained with new interpretations of beloved stories, why stop making liveaction films?InclusionWhen you spend your entire childhood dancing and singing along to these characters，its beyond magical to see them again when youre an adult and are the same age as them. Thats one of the few magical effects of movies. Not to mention, Aladdins South Asian cast is also a strong statement for the world. Perhaps this is also the reason why Disney wants Mulan to have an all Asian cast. Lets hope theyre not the only ones and Disney is bringing more diverse stories to be told.Nostalgia(怀旧)All of these Disney remakes are designed to fuel the nostalgia of boomers, Gen Xers and millennials, and many of the moviegoers who grew up with these movies, in particular, now have young kids of their own. Little wonder the studio is seeing big dollar signs in them.()58. Disney productions are parents first choice for kids because they _A. promote childrens overall health B. dont need booking in advanceC. dont need a screen to enjoy them D. have been enjoying a good reputation()59. Your feeling about the liveaction films remade mainly relies on _A. the filmmaking technology B. the popularity of the filmsC. the familiarity with the story line D. the computergenerated imaginary()60. In the authors opinion, what could be the main reason for Disneys more live actions?A. Its trying its best to satisfy both critics and audience.B. Its sparing no efforts to earn as much revenue as possible.C. Its seeking and adding global elements to make diverse stories.D. Its bringing back those sweet memories to its loyal aging fans.CPinocchio may be just a childrens fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated the socalled “Pinocchio effect” and found that our noses dont grow when we tell a lie, but actually shrink a bit.Dr. Emilio Gmez Miln and his team developed a lie detector test that used thermography to tell if people were lying, and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful, the temperature of the tips of their noses dropped up to 1.2C, while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5. Scientists also found that drop in temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is undetected by the human eye.“One has to think in order to lie, which rises the temperature of the forehead，” Dr. Gmez Miln explained the findings. “At the same time we feel anxious，which lowers the temperature of the nose.”For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while being scanned by thermal imaging technology. One of these tasks involved calling a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents, partner or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants had to devise the lie themselves during the call, and the thermal cameras picked up this “reverse Pinocchio effect” caused by the fluctuation(起伏) in temperature in the nose and forehead.Interestingly, the thermal lie detector picked up the temperature difference in 80 percent of test subjects, which is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie detector.“With this method we have achieved to increase accuracy and reduce the occurrence of false positives， something that is frequent with other methods such as the polygraph(测谎仪)，” said Dr. Emilio Gmez Miln, who added that law enforcement interviewers could one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results.The thermal lie detector has been the most reliable in the world, 10% more than the popular polygraph.()61. Why does the author mention “Pinocchio” at the beginning?A. To tell a fairy story. B. To warn us not to lie.C. To introduce a research. D. To inspire us to doubt old beliefs.()62. According to the research, what might happen if you tell a lie?A. Your nose gets longer. B. Your nose becomes smaller.C. Your temperature gets higher. D. Your temperature remains stable.()63. What can we learn about the research?A. Researchers conduct the study by interviewing.B. Researchers design different lies for participants.C. The thermal lie detector will prove a popular one.D. The thermal lie detector may assist law enforcement.()64. Which might be the best title for the passage?A. Will lie detectors tell the truth? B. Will lying make your nose longer?C. Will lying make your temperature rise? D. Will thermal imaging technology be reliable?DFor people moving to Australia, Price(2001) has identified certain values which may give rise to cultural shock. Firstly, he argues that Australians place a high value on independence and personal choice. This means that a teacher or course tutor will not tell students what to do, but will give them a number of options and suggest they work out which one is the best in their circumstances. It also means that they are expected to take action if something goes wrong and seek out resources and support for themselves.Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believe there is one truth. This means that in an educational setting, students will be expected to form their own opinions and defend the reasons for that point of view and the evidence for it.Price also comments that Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status and hence idealize the idea of treating everyone equally. An illustration of this is that most adult Australians call each other by their first names. This concern with equality means that Australians are uncomfortable taking anything too seriously and are even ready to joke about themselves.Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As a consequence, some students may be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but study.Australian concepts of privacy mean that areas such as financial ma
