Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that“the production，distribution，and use of productsas well as management of the resulting wasteall result in greenhouse gas release.”Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less waste at the startfor instance，buying reusable products and recycling.In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or has been put in place as an incentive(动机)for reducing waste.If producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products，would they reduce the packaging in the first place?Governments incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they produce is usually based on money.Why，they ask，should cities or towns be responsible for paying to deal with the bubble wrap(气泡垫)that encased your television?From the governments point of view，a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and taxpayers back to the producers.文章大意：文章主要讲述了电子垃圾的产生、危害以及相关解决措施。1By mentioning the Swiss study，the author intends to tell us that_.Athe weight of egoods is rather smallBewaste deserves to be made good use ofCnatural minerals contain more precious metalsDthe percentage of precious metals is heavy in ewaste答案：B推断判断题。结合第二段第一句“Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver.”可知，该段主要讲述电子设备中包含有很多贵重的金属；下文引用瑞士的研究进一步论证电子垃圾中的贵重金属含量比自然矿产中的高。由此可知，作者提及瑞士的研究旨在告诉我们电子垃圾应该得到很好的利用。故正确答案为B。2The responsibility of ewaste treatment should be extended_.Afrom producers to governmentsBfrom governments to producersCfrom individuals to distributorsDfrom distributors to governments答案：B细节理解题。结合文章最后一句“.a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and taxpayers back to the producers.”可知，电子垃圾的责任应该从政府延伸到生产者。故正确答案为B。3What does the passage mainly talk about?AThe increase in ewaste.BThe creation of ewaste.CThe seriousness of ewaste.DThe management of ewaste.答案：D主旨大意题。本文从电子垃圾与日俱增这一现象出发，分析了电子垃圾治理的必要性，并对一些国家政府将电子垃圾治理的责任延伸到生产者这一考虑进行评述。由此可知，本文通篇是围绕着电子垃圾治理这一话题展开的。故正确答案为D。B段【2020高考训练题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。One hometown owner in Detroit is intending to exchange his villa for the latest iPhone 6.The owner has dropped the asking price from $ 5,000 to a new iPhone 6 as the owner is desperate to sell before the tax auction (拍卖) season where “thousands” of homes near foreclosure (房屋止赎权) will flood into the market, a real estate broker (房地产经纪人) called Larry Else told ABC News.“This house is really not worth much at all,” Else said. The windows are broken and there is no front door. The broker himself has not been inside the home because his company has a policy of not going in unsecured houses alone. Detroits declining fortunes have left its population about a third of what it used to be in its peak, according to the U.S. Census Bureau（人口普查办公室）.Now, the property has accrued (拖欠) more than $6,000 in back taxes (退税款) and will enter foreclosure next year if that debt is not settled. So while the owner is asking for an iPhone 6, the true cost of the sale comes from the buyer including the cost of the back taxes.That attracted great interest in the property, as Else said that he received four offers today alone. One woman said she was interested in the house for the wood. Another said that they would be willing to hand over an iPhone 5, and another offered $ 850. But Else hinted that the most likely buyer is someone who already lives on the block and put in a $ 700 bid（出价）, and their familiarity with the area appeared to put them at the head of the pack. He said he expects one of the four offers to work out, and may even confirm the sale tonight.This is not the end of his bartering (物物交换) business, however, as Else said that hes already gotten another call from a homeowner who has had trouble selling their property.1、Why did the owner drop his price for the house?A. Because the house was too old.B. Because there is a boom in economy.C. Because he wanted to sell the house quickly.D. Because the population in Detroit is small.2、Larry Else hasnt come into the house because _.A. it is dangerous to enter itB. the owner doesnt permit itC. he is not familiar with the areaD. it will break the companys rule3、The house will most possibly be sold at the price of _.A. $ 5,000 B. $ 850 C. $ 700 D. an iPhone 64、The passage is most probably taken from _.A. a story book B. a news reportC. an economy report D. a tourist brochure参考答案14、CDCB四、七选五(2020山东济南市5月针对性训练)For some people，the warmest memories from childhood come from being read a great story._1_ It develops childrens language skills and increases their ability to succeed in school and，later，work.A new report by the American Academy of Pediatrics says reading aloud is so important that parents should start as soon as their children are born and continue to read aloud even after their children can read by themselves.They say parents should also point to and talk about pictures in books for infants(婴幼儿)_2_The company Scholastic is a major US.publisher of childrens books.Every two years，Scholastic publishes a report on American reading attitudes and habits.The 2020 report says only 31 percent of children in the US.read a book for fun almost every day._3_ One is simply to have books in the home.Elizabeth Lyttleton，the mother of three，is lucky.Her mother once wrote and illustrated childrens books，so the family always have plenty to read.She says all her children learn from books but in different ways._4_ Researchers from the Scholastic company found that 80%of children surveyed of all ages say they love being read to.And children ages 6 to 11 whose parents do not read to them anymore say they miss it._5_ Of all the six to 17yearolds in the Scholastic study，more than 90%said their favorite books are the ones they chose for themselves.AThe Scholastic report also suggests permitting children to choose their own books.BScholastic also identifies some ways to develop a love of reading in a child.CA book does not have to be serious to be good for kids.DFor young children，parents should ask questions about the book.EDo children still read for fun?FAnother way to develop a reading habit in children is to read to them.GBut reading to children does more than create warm memories.文章大意：作者主要介绍父母们给孩子读书的好处，帮助孩子养成良好的读书习惯，喜欢读书，让孩子受益一生。1G根据空前后与G中的关键词warm memories，reading，being read，children，childhood等可知答案。 But是关键提示词，首句意思是：对于很多人来说，童年最温暖的回忆(the warmest memory)就是有人给读故事(being read a great story)。选项G的“warm memories”对应空格前的“the warmest memory”；“reading to children”对
