How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when theyre broken or you want a new one?Most people just throw them away. With the development of electric industry, e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in 2020, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 6.5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.Its important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful（有害的）, depending on how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban mine（城市矿藏）. The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic chemicals（有毒化学物质）can get into the earth or air,effectingthe environment and peoples health.Apple, for example, now recycle peoples used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce（减少）e-waste, we can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs.1. The following can become e-wasteEXCEPT_.A. computersB. mobile phonesC. plastic bags2. Which country produced most e-waste last year according to the United Nations?A. America.B. China.C. Japan.3.

The main purpose of this passage is to_.A. prove that e-waste is useless.B. encourage people to buy more electronic products.C. advise people to deal with e-waste properly to reduce pollution.D Recycling is a way to take trash and turn it into new products. There are a number of different recycling processes that allow materials to be used more than once. All kinds of materials can be recycled. Some of the most common processes in use today involve（牵涉）recycling plastic, glass, metals, paper, electronics and so on. Items made of these materials include soda cans, plastic boxes, newspapers, old computers, and cardboard boxes.There are many steps in recycling. It isnt actually a simple process and is different for each type of material. For example, paper starts its recycling process by being mixed with water and other chemicals to break it down. This process finally turns the paper into a pulp(纸浆). Then remove the plastics and other useless materials from the pulp. After that, it gets cleaned. Now the pulp is ready to be made into new paper. However, computers and batteries（电池）are usually recycled in order to remove harmful chemicals as well as to find again some valuable materials such as gold.In general, we should follow different steps in the recycling process. These steps are:Collecting recyclable materials, like cans and plastic bottles.Processing(加工) the old materials and making new items.Buying items made from recycled materials.1. What is recycling?A. It makes your heart and body strong. B. It is to reuse anything that can be used again.C. It means keeping the land , air and water clean.2.

When the chemicals are not completely used by the plants, they are washed away by the rainwater into rivers, lakes and seas, which pollute both surface water and underground water.IndustryFactories and industries oftenreleasepoisonous chemicals into seas, rivers or lakes, which is quite bad for Mother Nature. An example of industrial sea pollution happened in Japan in the 1950s. A local factory had poured waste water with mercury (水银) into the Minamata Bay for 20 years. Tuna fish in the bay took in the mercury and people ate the tuna. Many children were born with birth deformities (畸形). As a result, people lost their hearing and sight, and thousands of people died in the end.Sea transportation When ships transporting oil get damaged on the way, oil spillage (溢出) happens. One major disaster was the Exxon Valdez oil spill. An oil tanker sank off Alaska in 1989 and leaked (泄漏) oil into the ocean. To save cost, some ships also poured unwanted oil from their engine rooms into the sea, thus polluting the oceans.Home activities If the waste from the washing of clothes and dishes are not treated and poured into the sea, they will do harm to the sea life. Some diseases may also spread. Sometimes, rubbish is dumped into the sea.1. Farmers use large amounts of chemicals to.A. have more foodB. release poison C. save planting costD. plant more crops2.

In Beijing, only five days in Januarywere free ofsmog (雾霾). Whats the difference between fog and smog? According to scientists, fog is made up of tiny (微小的) drops of water and also ice particles (颗粒) during very cold conditions. Smog is dirty air that looks like a mixture of smoke and fog, caused mainly by smoke from cars and factories in cities.An official for the Ministry of Environmental Protection told Beijing News that PM2.5 pollution is the main problem with air pollution. PM 2.5 refers to pollution with small particles 2.5 micrometers or less in diameter (直径). According to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, two main factors that cause PM 2.5 are motor vehicles and the burning of coal. Poor air has done harm to peoples health. Children and the elderly are more at risk. A report from Beijing Childrens Hospital shows that from January 5 to January 11, 2020, half of the patients in the hospital came for respiratory (呼吸道的) problems. To respond to the air problem, the Chinese government and many Chinese people have started to take action.Beijingannounced a plan to use clean fuel in government vehicles and plant trees. It asked citizens to set off fewer fireworks for the Spring Festival celebration. They suggested that cars with large emissions (排放) should be banned and factories should be closely watched.Three students from No. 4 High School in Beijing wrote a report to advise to fight the air pollution. “We hope more people will join us to protect our environment. With all our efforts, the blue skies will certainly return soon,” said Shi Yucong, 15, one of the three students.1.

A. smog is a mixture of fog and smoke B. smog is formed (形成) during cold hours C. fog is made up of drops of water with smoke D. smoke from cars and factories cause fog3. Paragraphs 3 and 4 are mainly about _. A. what PM 2.5 is and what causes PM 2.5B. how to prevent PM 2.5 pollution and how PM 2.5 looksC. what PM 2.5 is and how to protect ourselves against PM 2.5 D. how seriously PM 2.5 affects us and how to deal with PM 2.54. What is the best title for the passage? A. A report about air pollution B.Lets fight the air pollution C. Dirty air is bad for us D.The air in BeijingI As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success.Scientists have found out thatradiation(辐射) is the greatest dangerto spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The damage(危害) done by radiation wont be discovered until their children or even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really helpful medicine has been.Space junk is also thoughta great danger to spacemen.Its reported that there are 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space junk. An explosion(爆炸) in 1996 made a cloud of 300,000.fragments, each at least 4mm in size, and even a small piece of these knocked against a spaceship window and did some damage. Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working on helpful ways to do with space junk.Although space is really dangerous, it interests everyone on the earth. In the near future, it may become usual for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. So we should care for space and do something to help improve the space environment.1._ shows the man-made things
