On July 1st, the city introduced strict trash-sorting regulations that are expected to be used as a model for our country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss it into specific public bins. They must do so at scheduled times, when monitors are present to ensure compliance（服从）and to inquire into the nature of ones rubbish.Violatorsface the prospect of fines and worse. They could be hit with fines of up to 200yuan($29). For repeat violators, the city can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to obtain bank loans or even buy train tickets.Shanghai authorities are responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9 million tonnes of garbage a year, more than Londons annual output and rising quickly. But like other cities in China, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on trash pickers to sift through the waste, plucking out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up. China churns out 80 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks a year.Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are frustrated by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or hazardous（有害的）, the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules surrounding food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bin, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand. Most vexing（令人烦恼的）are the short windows for dumping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out; no one wants to look bad.28. Whats the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To introduce the trash-sorting regulations.B. To explain the four categories of the waste.C. To present residents complaints about trash dividing.D. To show the goal of trash-sorting regulations.29. What does the underlined word “Violators” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. People who dont sort the waste.B. People who argue with the monitors.C. People who dont throw the trash on time.D. People who are against the regulations.30. What is the main direct environmental problem in Shanghai?A. The massive traffic.B. The increasing garbage.C. Lack of a recycling system.D. Lack of trash pickers.31. What makes the residents upset most about the rules?A. Complex distinction among the four categories of trash.B. Short scheduled time for tossing the trash.C. Being observed by monitors when throwing the garbage.D. Being fined when blamed due to improper behavior.32. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Restart of Trash-sortingB. A Great Change in Tackling LitterC. A New Era of Garbage ClassificationD. A Craze for Learning Waste SortingDA remarkable variety of insects live on this planet. More species of insects exist than all other animal species together. Insects have survived on earth for more than 300 million years，and may possess the ability to survive for millions more.Insects can be found almost everywhereon the highest mountains and on the bottom of rushing streams, in the cold South Pole and in bubbling hot springs. They dig through the ground, jump and sing in the trees, and run and dance in the air. They come in many different colors and various shapes. Insects are extremely useful to humans, pollinating (授粉) our crops as well as flowers in meadows, forests, deserts and other areas. But ticks and some insects, such as mosquitoes and fleas, can transmit disease.There are many reasons why insects are so successful at surviving. Their amazing ability to adapt permits them to live in extreme ranges of temperatures and environments. The one place they have not yet been found to any major extent is in the open oceans. Insects can survive on a wide range of natural and artificial foodspaint, pepper, glue, books, grain, cotton, other insects, plants and animals. Because they are small, they can hide in tiny spaces.A strong, hard but flexible shell covers their soft organs and is resistant to chemicals, water and physical impact. Their wings give them the option of flying away from dangerous situations or toward food or mates. Also, insects have an enormous reproductive capacity: An African ant queen can lay as many as 43,000 eggs a day.Another reason for their success is the strategy of protective color. An insect may be right before our eyes, but nearly invisible because it is cleverly disguised like a green leaf, lump of brown soil, gray lichen (青苔), a seed or some other natural object. Some insects use bright, bold colors to send warning signals that they taste bad, sting or are poisonous. Others have wing patterns that look like the eyes of a huge predator, confusing their enemies. Some insects also imitate bitter-tasting insects; hungry enemies are fooled into avoiding them.33. Insects protect themselves from chemicals by _.A. hiding in tiny spaces B. flying away when necessary C. having a strong shellD. changing colors or shapes34. Some insects disguise like natural objects so as to _.A. avoid being discovered B. frighten away their enemies C. send warning signalsD. look bitter-tasting35. The passage is mainly about _.A. how insects survive in different placesB. why insects can survive so successfullyC. what insects can do to the environmentD. where insects can be found in quantity第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Japans famously diligent workers spend more hours at the office than employees in almost any other country.
