Why cant we go back to the society 60 the prevention of waste is a virtue?

For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as danger and with good guides, some education, and a few precautions, the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated. “Kids have to be online. If we tell our kids they cant be allowed to surf the Internet, were cutting them off from their future,” said an expert.Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way would be to use what is known as a “content screener”. But this cant be wholly reliable, and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.A few other tips:Dont put the PC in a childs room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make online.Tell your child not to give online strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.61.Who is this article written to?A. Teachers.B. Parents.C. Researchers.D. Children web fans.62.What is the main subject about the passage?A. Opposing childrens online. B. Internet in America.C. American children going online.D. Appreciating the Internet.63.What is the best way to protect children from improper material?A. To talk to the children and persuade them to tell right from wrong.B. To be nearby when they are surfing the Internet.C. To fix a content screener on the computer.D. To buy some search engines for children.64.Which of the following is right according to the passage?A. Surfing the Internet is the best way of educating children.B. Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children having ways to the Internet.C. Searching engines can help children to select materials fit for them.D. Childrens not having chances to go to the Internet may have effect on their progress.65.According to the passage, we can infer that _.A. software fit for children want programming B. the Internet contains a lot of harmful sitesC. the Internet will be protected by law D. a child who is online is in dangerBWhy should you learn Sign Language? Do you want to improve your communication with a family member or friend who is deaf? Do you want to be able to communicate with deaf people in general? Would you like to advance in your career by being able to communicate in ASL? Do you want to be a Sign Language interpreter?Sign language is not just a random (随意的) collection of gestures but a full-blown (完全成熟的) language in its own right, complete with its own grammatical rules. Each country or region has its own sign language, as different from each other as English is from Spanish. Each version of sign language is somewhat linked to the spoken language in its region. For example, American sign language does share similarities with English, even though it is its own language.The advantages of knowing sign language in addition to a spoken language are many. Communication becomes possible on many levels with the deaf community, with other people either hearing or not in any of the above situations, as well as many more.While other languages take years to learn, American Sign Language can be taught in a much shorter time period. It is one of the easiest languages to learn because most of the signs were developed to mimic the actual word or phrase it is representing. Even the alphabet signs look like the letters of the English alphabet.American Sign Language, or ASL, is the third most used language in the United States. Used by the deaf community, interpreters, and friends and family of the deaf. There are a lot of sites on the internet that not only shows you the sign with video, but will help you practice reading signs as well.Teaching even hearing babies sign language seems to be the fashion in recent years and for good reason. Communicating in sign language is fun and natural as babies naturally use body gestures in early communication. Teaching baby sign language actually appears to enhance the learning of verbal skills and brain development of the children involved.66. Which two regions share similarities in their sign language?A. Spain and Britain. B. Mexico and USA. C. Australia and Canada. D. Japan and Korea.67. Sign language _.A. is a collection of gestures B. is easier to learn than EnglishC. is not very popular in USA D. has no link to the spoken language68. One of the reasons for learning sign language is that it _.A. increase self-confidence B. provides more choices of careerC.trains brains D.is interesting69. Babies learning sign language cannot _.A. help them talk sooner B. help them walk soonerC. increase communication at a very early ageD. enrich relationship with parents and the people who take care of them70. Which of the following topics is not discussed in the passage?A. What is sign language? B. The advantages of knowing sign language.B. The relation of American sign language and English. D. Ways of learning sign language.CIn 1993, New York State ordered stores to charge money on beverage (饮料) containers. Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw material for new products, but because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound end up buried in landfills (垃圾填埋场). The problem was not limited to New York. Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second-hand plastic.Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded (被丢弃的) plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence post, paint brushes, etc.As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish. A discard remains a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second life and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value. Without enough markets to take in materials collected for recycling, throwaways actually reduce prices for used materials.Fewer landfill space and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste-management choice. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal (清除，处理), which, in parts of New York, amounts to savings of more than $100 per ton. Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and reduces the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a better raw material.71.What regulation was issued by New York State concerning beverage containers?A.A fee should be charged on used containers for recycling.B.Throwaways should be collected by the state for recycling.C.Consumers had to pay for beverage containers and could get their money back on returning them.D.Beverage companies should be responsible for collecting and reusing discarded plastic soda bottles.72.The returned plastic bottles in New York used to .A.be turned into raw materials B.be separated from other rubbishC.have a second-life value D.end up somewhere underground73.The key problem in dealing with returned plastic beverage containers is .A.how to reduce their recycling costs B.to sell them at a profitable priceC.how to turn them into useful things D.to lower the prices for used materials74.Recycling has become the first choice for the disposal of rubbish because .A.recycling causes little pollution B.other methods are more expensiveC.recycling has great appeal for the jobless D.local governments find it easy to manage75.It can be concluded from the passage that .A.recycling is to be suggested both economically and environmentallyB.local governments in the U. S. can expect big profits from recyclingC.rubbish is a potential remedy for the shortage of raw materialsD.landfills will still be widely used for waste disposal第二节: 信息匹配 (共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分)请阅读下列应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑 (若选择E，请涂AB；若选择F，请涂CD)。 以下是演讲会的资料：A.
