三、阅读单选

                           （一）

Recycling is a way to take rubbish and turn it into new products. It’s helpful to our environment. There are a number of different recycling steps that allow materials to be used more than once.

All kinds of materials can be recycled. Some of the most common things in use today include recycling plastic (塑料), glass, metals and paper. Things made of these materials include plastic milk boxes, newspapers, computers and cardboard boxes.

    ▲    These include: Landfills (垃圾填埋)—Recycling materials means less rubbish and saves space in landfills. Resources—When we use materials again, this means we can take fewer resources from the earth. Pollution—in general, recycling materials can produce less pollution, helping to keep our environment clean.

Be sure to recycle everything you can in your house and school. There is almost a “recycle” rubbish bin around. Be sure to drop your used plastic bottles there. At home, be sure to put paper things like the newspapers, paper boxes, and homework pages into the recycle box.

Plastics are usually marked with an identification code(识别码）that shows a recycling symbol and a number from 1 to 7. This shows that the type of chemicals, or materials, is used in making the plastic. Used paper can be recycled around seven times.

It is high time we set up a recycle station in every street, across the city and the country, so the cleaners can transport the rubbish conveniently. This is the only way out for dealing with rubbish without causing danger to the environment and our health. For ourselves, our children and our children’s children, let’s take action NOW!

31．From the first paragraph, we know that ________.

Luis Morales is 18 years old and comes from a tiny village in Colombia. Until about seven years ago one of Luis’s favorites was to go into the thick forest around his home to hunt（猎杀）wild animals, especially birds. Now, however, he and a group of other local youths work with an international organization called Wildlife World, to study and protect the birds and their environment.

Wildlife World has set up several of these groups across the area. “Information we get from the children helps us learn how the birds and other animals use the forest, what they eat and how best we can protect them. The project has worked very well and we hope to set up more groups in the future,” says area leader Felipe Ramos.

Luis is the oldest and most experienced member of his group. “Before I joined, I planned to be a doctor and leave the village as soon as I was old enough , ” Luis says. “ But now I want to go to university, become a scientist and return here to save these birds and their environment. Being part of the group has had a huge effect（影响）on me.”

Luis also spends time with the younger children in the village. “There is not much to do here after school,” he says, “ so I try to ask them to join in our activities. As well as bird watching and nature studies, we also do drama and art. The drama has been successful and we now have a theater group of 30 children. We tour in the area, performing different plays.”

35．Seven years ago, what was Luis’s attitude towards birds in the forest ?

A．He knew they were in danger.

B．He thought it was fun to hunt them.

C．He was not interested in them at all.

36．What do the children do for Wildlife World?

A．They use the forest well.

B．They help look after wildlife.

C．They provide valuable information.

37．To know what Luis does with the younger children in his village, we can read ________ .

A．Paragraph 2 B．Paragraph 3 C．Paragraph 4

38．The writer wrote the passage mainly to ________.

A．explain why environmental protection is important

B．show how Wildlife World has changed a boy

C．suggest ways to help the environment

How to Behave Well

In order to build a civilized city, we should try our best to behave well in the activities.

It’s a good habit to keep our clothes clean and tidy. Our city should be kept clean every day. Don’t throw litter or spit about. It’s good manners to say “Thank you” and “Please” and so on. We should never say dirty words. Be friendly to others and always ready to help the people in need. For example, when we are on a bus, we should offer our seats to the old and the women with babies. We should also obey traffic rules. When the traffic lights are red, we should stop. And we’d better not talk or laugh loudly in public.

If everyone behaves well, our city will be more beautiful and more attractive.
