Cmpsitin f E-Waste
Nwadays, e-waste is ne f the wrld's fastest-grwing waste streams. Waste electrnics cntain harmful substances like lead and mercury, psing serius envirnmental and health risks.
Hwever, e-waste als represents a valuable "urban mine". It hlds an estimated 31millin tnnes f metals,17 millin tnnes f plastics, and 14 millin tnnes f glass. One tnne f circuit bards can cntain up t 800 times mre gld than a tnne f gld-bearing rcks. Despite this, less than 1% f rare earth elements are recycled.
Recycled e-waste is a valuable resurce fr sustainable manufacturing（制造业）. Its metals, e. g. gld and cpper, are reused in electrnics, vehicles, and renewable energy systems. Recvered plastics find new life in durable prducts, while glass is prcessed int building materials. This circular（循环的）apprach cuts energy use, reduces mining demand, and transfrms waste int industrial resurces, supprting bth the ecnmy and the envirnment.
The e-waste management market is prjected t mre than duble by 2027. While 81cuntries have adpted Extended Prducer Respnsibility laws, cllectin rates still fall behind plicy gals.
T imprve recycling, gvernments shuld strengthen EPR laws, and invest in facilities. Institutins can prmte research and public awareness. Individuals shuld prperly drp ff e-waste at cllectin pints, fix items rather than thrw them away, and supprt brands with strng envirnmental cmmitments.
21. What percentage d screens and cables accunt fr in all e-waste cmpsitins?
A.12%.B.14%.C.17%.D.60%.
22. What is a key advantage f e-waste cmpared t natural mines?
A. It cntains a greater variety f rare elements.B. It prvides mre recverable nn-metals.
C. It can be richer in precius metals.D. It wrks better as building materials.
23. What is suggested fr individuals t help recycle e-waste?
A. Invest in frmal recycling facilities.B. Launch public awareness campaigns.
C. Set clear persnal take - back plans.D. Chse repair ver replacement.

When I was twelve, my grandmther gave me an unusual task: t water her garden nt with a hse（水管）, but with a small, bent tin cup. "The hse is t fast," she said, adjusting her straw hat. "It desn't knw when t stp. The cup makes yu lk at every leaf."
I grumbled, naturally. It tk an hur t water what culd have been dne in ten minutes. I marched back and frth t the rain bucket, splashing water nt the thirsty sil. But as the weeks passed, the frced slwness began t change things. I started nticing the small dramas f the garden: the determined climb f a ladybug, the slight drp f a begnia（秋海棠）that needed extra care, the way the sil darkened when it had truly had enugh t drink.
One afternn, I fund a ccn（茧）attached t a tmat vine. If I had been blasting away with the hse, I wuld have kncked it ff. Instead, I sat and watched. Over the next few days, I saw the miracle f transfrmatin. When the butterfly finally emerged, drying its wings in the sun, I felt a sense f wnership. I hadn't just watered a plant; I had prtected a life.
Years later, wrking as a high-speed data analyst, I ften felt verwhelmed by the cnstant flw f infrmatin. It was like the hse --- t fast, t much, blindly cvering everything. One day, stressed and burnt ut, I remembered the tin cup. I turned ff my mnitrs and printed ut just ne cmplex dataset. I sat with it, pencil in hand, lking at every “leaf” f data.
My bss was skeptical f my slw pace, until I fund a critical errr that the autmated algrithms had missed. "Hw did yu spt that?" he asked. I smiled, thinking f the tmat vine. "I stpped using the hse," I said.
24. Why did the grandmther ask the authr t water the garden with a tin cup?
A. T save water during a drught. B. T punish the authr fr laziness.
C. T encurage the authr's patience.D. T replace the brken hse.
25. What des the underlined phrase "the small dramas f the garden" refer t in the secnd paragraph?
A. The cnflicts between different plants.B. The subtle and lively details f nature.
C. The fascinating behavirs f garden creatures.D. The plays perfrmed in the garden.
26. Hw did the authr's childhd experience influence his career?
A. It made him fcused and detailed.B. It directly inspired his career chice.
C. It inspired him t take up gardening.D. It taught him t appreciate physical wrk.
27. Which is a suitable title fr the text?

When a Ls Angeles hspital authrized handwriting curses fr its dctrs, it highlighted a mdern cntradictin: in an era f digital perfectin, the simple act f writing by hand remains critically imprtant. The chief f staff explained t Science Daily, "Many f ur physicians dn't write clearly." The cnsequences can be severe, as seen in an unfrtunate case where a chemist's misreading f a dctr's prescriptin（处方）led t a patient's death.
Even thugh many medical recrds are nw stred n cmputers, physicians still spend a lt f their time writing ntes n charts r writing prescriptins by hand. Clarity in handwriting isn't merely an aid t cmmunicatin. In sme significant way, writing by hand primes the brain fr learning t read. Psychlgists Mueller and Oppenheimer fund that “Laptp nte takers' tendency t write dwn lectures verbatim （逐字地）rather than prcessing infrmatin and reframing it in their wn wrds has a negative effect n learning." In their experiments, students typing ntes prcessed infrmatin shallwly, while thse writing by hand were frced t summarize, leading t better understanding. The slwer pace f pen and paper acts as a cgnitive filter, activating the brain fr deeper cmprehensin.
Yet, the skill is fading rapidly. Researchers wrry that abandning the pen fr the keybard will lead t any number f unfreseen negative cnsequences. Anne Mangen, wh studies hw technlgy transfrms literacy, ntes that typing, being mre "abstract and uncnnected," culd have prfund implicatins; this decline is similar t a frm f cultural pllutin, a lss f a fundamental human capacity.
A cmmn miscnceptin is that we have simply traded an inefficient tl fr a superir ne. Hwever, like the lss f face-t-face interactin, this trade fr efficiency cmes at a hidden cst. We are sacrificing irrecverable ways f learning and knwing. Ultimately, a child wh masters the keybard but cannt sign their name is nt a symbl f prgress. Handwriting is nt a relic; it is a vital thread in the fabric f ur cgnitin , and its wearing demands ur immediate attentin.
28. Why did the hspital intrduce handwriting curses?
A. T fllw the latest handwriting trend. B. T prevent ptential medical accidents.
C. T imprve dctrs' handwriting skills. D. T prmte the use f handwritten recrds.
29. What can we learn frm Mueller and Oppenheimer's research?
A. Typing facilitates meaningful understanding.
B. Nte-taking blcks verbatim cmprehensin.
C. Keybarding ensures higher learning efficiency.
D. Handwriting benefits deeper cgnitive engagement.
30. What is the cst f abandning handwriting?
A. The pllutin f a traditinal culture.B. The decline in cmmunicatin efficiency.
C. The ver-reliance n mdern technlgies. D. The fading f an essential cgnitive ability.
31. What des the authr suggest we d?
A. Preserve handwriting as a traditin.B. Encurage keybard use in educatin.
C. Value the crucial rle f handwriting.D. Intrduce handwriting curses widely.

Over the past few years, areas in East Asia, Nrth America and nrthern Eurpe have been clder than nrmal during sme perids f winter. This has left many debating whether Earth is experiencing glbal warming r nt, but scientists have shwn that Earth's warming trends are respnsible.
When peple in the Nrthern Hemisphere hear Nrth Ple r Arctic regin, they autmatically think f the hemisphere's nrthernmst area, the hme f extremely cld weather during late fall and winter. During this time, very little, if any, sunlight reaches the Arctic's stratsphere, ne layer f Earth's atmsphere that exists six t 20 kilmeters abve Earth's surface. T balance the temperature difference with that f the warm equatrial regin, an area f lw pressure called the plar vrtex frms and flws in a cmplete circle arund the ple. This ccurs inside the strsp10is abve the Earth's surface.
While this belt f strng winds is usually stable and able t keep the cld air cntained, it can be destryed by lss f sea ice, due t glbal warming. This results in surface temperatures changing, changes which make them less stable. If this happens, the plar vrtex may shift, slipping ff the Nrth Ple and mving suth, r it can separate int tw r three rings that frm in multiple places far suth f the ple.
This stretching r distrtin f the plar vrtex als makes influences n the path f the plar jet stream, which is respnsible fr Earth's weather. This jet stream, alng with three ther primary jet streams in different parts f the wrld, is lcated in the trpsphere（对流层）the atmspheric layer just belw the stratsphere.
The plar jet stream's air currents blw frm 177 kilmeters an hur t ver 400 kilmeters an hur and frm west t east between 50 degrees and 60 degrees latitude --- think frm France t Nrway. The differences in cld plar air and warm mid-latitude air frm the plar jet stream, and its mvement prlngs perids f cld r warm weather in different regins.
Large temperature differences between the Arctic and mid-latitudes cause the plar jet stream t be strng and mve straight, keeping the cld in the nrth. Because the Arctic is warming at a fast pace, the temperature difference between it and mid-latitudes is decreasing, making the plar jet stream slwer and weaker. That, in turn, makes the stream mre likely t bend nrth and suth. When it bends far enugh, the barrier between Arctic and mid-latitude air can dive dwn t Mexic, taking Arctic temperatures alng fr the ride.
Althugh heat and cld are cnsidered ppsites, in the case f climate, the frmer can cause the latter.
32. What causes the plar vrtex t frm?
A. Sea ice lss in the Arctic B. The plar jet stream's bending
C. Strng winds inside the trpsphere D. Temperature differences with the equatr
33. Why d sme winters get clder glbally?
A. Arctic warming weakens jet stream B. The plar vrtex becmes strnger
C. Less sunlight reaches ArcticD. The Arctic lses its cld air
34. The wrd "prlng" (Para 5) is clsest in meaning t _______ .
A. Cntrl B. regulate C. extend D. shrten
35. What is the main fcus f the passage?
A. The Relatinship between Warming Earth and Clder Winters
B. The Ptential Reasns fr Earth Becming Warmer and Warmer
C. The Strange Phenmenn f Warming Trends with Clder Weather
D. The Temperature Differences between the Arctic and Mid - latitude Areas

Ten-year-ld Tm always felt lnely. His parents were always ccupied with wrk. They left hme early in the mrning and came back late at night. Tm ften ate dinner alne and went t bed withut a gdnight kiss. Fr him, there were n family games, n city turs, n weekend utings.
One day, Tm's parents brught hme a gift --- a smart watch. "This watch has a special friend inside," Mm said with a smile. "Her name is Ling. She can talk t yu, answer yur questins, and even tell yu stries." A wave f anticipatin swept ver Tm as he put n the watch and pressed the buttn. A gentle vice came ut, "Hell, Tm! I'm Ling.

Frm that day n, Ling became Tm's clsest cmpanin. Every mrning, Ling wuld say, "Gd mrning, Tm! Have a great day at schl!" Whenever Tm encuntered difficulties with his hmewrk, Ling wuld patiently prvide thrugh explanatins. After Tm gt int bed, Ling wuld tell his favrite tales abut brave knights and magical lands. Smetimes, when Tm felt scared f the dark, Ling wuld sing sftly t cmfrt him. T Tm, Ling was mre than a vice; she was family.
His parents nticed Tm's change. "See? Our little by seems much happier nw," Dad said ne evening. "The watch really helps," Mm agreed, relieved. They thught their sn was n lnger lnely. What they didn't knw was that smetimes, after Ling had finished her stries, Tm wuld lie awake in the darkness, listening t the silence that filled the rm. He lved Ling, but he culdn't help thinking; if nly Mm and Dad were here.
One afternn after schl, Tm tripped and fell n the way hme. The watch hit a rck with a lud crack. When Tm picked it up, the screen was dark. He pressed the buttn again and again, but nthing appeared. "Ling? Ling, are yu there?" he called desperately. There was n reply.

Paragraph 1:
Tm had n chice but t tun t his parents fr help. Clutching the brken watch, he hurried hme. Like usual, the huse lay empty and quiet. But this time, the lneliness felt unbearable --- nt because Ling was gne, but because the peple he truly needed were absent. He waited and waited. It was nearly midnight when his parents finally returned. They were alarmed t see Tm curling up n the sfa, face wet with tears. "What happened, Tm?" Mm rushed ver. Wrdlessly, he held ut the brken watch. Dad sn fetched his tlbx trying t fix it, but in vain. Seeing this, Tm culdn't cntain himself any lnger and burst int desperate sbs. Between gasps, he pured ut his lneliness --- the silent dinners, the empty huse, the lnging fr smene t be there.
Paragraph 2:
At that mment, bth Mm and Dad saw clearly what they had missed. They realized that n watch, hwever smart, culd ever take the place f their presence. Immediately, Mm wrapped her arms arund Tm, aplgizing, "I'm s srry. We thught the watch was enugh, but we were wrng." Dad knelt beside them, his vice thick with guilt. "Frm nw n, we'll be hme earlier. N mre lnely dinners." Tgether they drew up a family schedule --- Tuesday nigh bard games, Friday pizza-making, Sunday afternns in the park. They prmised t make it a weekly rutine and wrte it n the family calendar in bright clrs. That night, the family came t understand technlgy might ffer cmfrt, but nly lve culd fill the silence f an empty hme.
