As for Sunday, two big aftershocks have been recorded in the morning, with the latest in the afternoon with a magnitude of 7.1.

This is the most powerful earthquake to have hit Nepal in over 80 years. The tremor（震动） was felt by more than 4.6 million people across South and East Asia.

Search and rescue efforts are underway for survivors buried under the rubble(瓦砾) and flattened（扁平的） buildings, but efforts are influenced by rain and aftershocks. Nepal national television is reporting that 90 percent of historical structures in Kathmandu Valley were destroyed in the earthquake.

25、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 isn’t 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】Paragraph 2 mainly tells us _____.

A. recycling is very easy

B. recycling process is different

C. what materials can be recycled

【3】Which shows the recycling process of paper correctly?

a. cleaning it

b. removing useless materials

c. being mixed with water and other chemicals

d. turning the paper into a pulp

A. c-d-b-a B. b-a-d-c   C. c-a -b-d

【4】Batteries shouldn’t be thrown into the fields because ______.

A. the chemicals in them are harmful to the fields

B. some of the batteries are very expensive

C. the batteries are good for the plants in the fields

【5】According to the passage, the first step of recycling is ______.

27、What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves? Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping, but none of them are worried about the road ahead.

Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless (无人驾驶的) cars, which are currently in the testing stages. If the tests are successful, these electric, self-driven cars could be available very soon. But, how is it possible for a car to drive itself?

Cars already have many features allowing them to take over for drivers in certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they detect objects (物体) close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions, such as snow or slippery (滑的) roads.

Other features have also changed the way drivers react to some situations. Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creating a safe self-driving car might be possible.

The self-driven car may be the answer to lowering the number of deadly (致命的) accidents caused by careless drivers or dangerous conditions. However, there are still some people who do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesn’t believe these cars are safe. He thinks the possibility of the technology making a mistake will be too high.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “take over for” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. direct the way for B. take the place of

C. work better than   D. make use of

【2】Cars already have the following features EXCEPT ________.

A. parking itself

B. controlling its speed in dangerous situations

C. slowing itself down near an object

D. avoiding car accidents one hundred percent

【3】Scientists and engineers think that ________.

A. it’s possible to make safe self-driven cars

B. it’s a long way for self-driven cars

C. there will be no drivers in the future

D. self-driven cars may cause more accidents

【4】What does the article mainly talk about?

A. Advantages of self-driven cars.

B. Different opinions on self-driven cars.

C. Possibilities of self-driven cars.

D. Google’s new technology—self-driven cars.

28、   I remember a psychiatrist（精神病医生）once said that if you ever feel sad, the best thing to do is do something for someone else because it gets you focused. It’s hard to be unhappy while serving someone else. A byproduct（副产品）of h【1】 others is feeling wonderful yourself.

I remember sitting in an airport one day, waiting for my flight. I was e【2】 because I had been upgraded（升级）to a first-class ticket. I had the best seat on the plane, seat 1A.

B【3】 boarding, I noticed a young lady who had several carry-on bags and was holding a crying baby. Having just finished reading a book on doing acts of kindness, I heard my conscience（良心）speak to me, “You guy, let her h【4】 your ticket.” I fought these words for a while but finally gave in.

“Excuse me, but it seems that you could use this first-class ticket more than me. I know how hard it can be flying with a k【5】. Why don’t we trade（交换）our tickets.”

“Are you sure?”

“Oh yeah. I really don’t mind. I’m just going to be working the whole time, anyway.”

“Well, thank you. That’s very kind of you,” she said as we e【6】 our tickets.

As we boarded the plane, I was surprised at how good it made me feel to watch her sit down in seat 1A. In fact, at that time, seat 24B or wherever I was sitting didn’t seem that bad at all. During the flight I was so curious to see how she was doing that I could h【7】 stand（忍受）it. So I got up out of my seat, walked to the first-class section. There she was with her baby, both in big and comfortable seat 1A. And I felt like getting a million dollars. I’ve got to keep doing this kind of thing.

29、   A woman was waiting for her flight at an airport.

She bought a bag of cookies, found a place to ______ and took out her book. She started to read and ______ noticed that a man, sitting beside her, took a cookie from her bag. She just ______ not to see this. So she ate the cookies quickly and at the same time watched how the shameless thief was stealing her cookies. She thought to herself, "If I wasn't such a ______ person, I would hit him in the eye."

When only one cookie was ______, she looked with interest and wondered what he would do. He smiled, took the ______ cookie and broke it in half. She thought, "This guy is so impolite, he didn't even show any ______!

After her flight was called, the woman ______ her baggage (行李) and headed to the gate. She took her seat in the plane, and started to look for her book, which was almost complete. As she reached her baggage, she gasped (喘气) with ______ , as there was an unopened bag of cookies. A terrible thought crossed her mind, "If my cookie bag is here, the other one was his and he just tried to ______."She realized that she was the impolite one, but it was too late to say sorry to him.
