21、 Hardware in general, and smartphones in particular, have become a huge environmental and health problem in the Global South’s landfill sites(垃圾填埋场).
Electronic waste (e-waste) currently takes up 5 percent of all global waste, and it is set to increase rapidly as more of us own more than one smartphone, laptop and power bank. They end up in places like Agbogbloshie on the outskirts of Ghana’s capital, Accra. It is the biggest e-waste dump in the world, where 10,000 informal workers walk through tons of abandoned goods as part of an informal recycling process. They risk their health searching for the precious metals that are found in abandoned smartphones.
But Agbogbloshie legally should not exist. The Basel Convention, a 1989 treaty, aims to prevent developed nations from unauthorized dumping of e-waste in less developed countries. The e-waste industry, however, circumvents regulation by exporting e-waste labelled as “secondhand goods” to poor countries like Ghana, knowing full well that it is heading for a landfill site.
A recent report found Agbogbloshie contained some of the most dangerous chemicals. This is not surprising: smart phones contain chemicals like mercury(水银), lead and even arsenic(砷). Reportedly, one egg from a free-range chicken in Agbogbloshie contained a certain chemical which can cause cancer and damage the immune system at a level that’s about 220 times greater than a limit set by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Most worryingly, these poisonous chemicals are free to pollute the broader soil and water system. This should concern us all, since some of Ghana’s top exports are cocoa and nuts.
Some governments have started to take responsibility for their consumers’ waste. For example, Germany has started a project that includes a sustainable recycling system at Agbogbloshie, along with a health clinic for workers. However, governments cannot solve the problem alone, as there is an almost limitless consumer demand for hardware, especially when governments’ green policies are focused on issues like climate change.
Only the manufacturers can fix this. A more economically sustainable and politically possible solution is through encouraging hardware manufacturers to make the repair, reuse and recycling of hardware profitable, or at least cost-neutral.
【1】What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A.Electronic waste requires more landfill sites.
B.Electronic waste is too complex to get fully recycled.
C.Electronic products need to be improved immediately.
D.Electronic pollution is a burning question in Agbogbloshie.
【2】What does the underlined word “circumvents” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Relaxes. B.Abolishes. C.Avoids. D.Tightens.
【3】What should be the biggest concern according to the text?
A.The violation of EFSA’s standards. B.The threat of polluted food worldwide.
C.The lack of diversity in Ghana’s exports. D.The damage to chicken’s immune system.
【4】What does the author think is the best solution to the e-waste problem?
A.Letting governments take on the main responsibility.
B.Reducing customers’ demands for electronic products.
C.Governments adjusting their green policies about e-waste.
D.Manufacturers’ developing a sustainable hardware economy.
22、Have you ever wished you didn’t have to wake up early and go all the way to school? For 700,000 American kids, this wish comes true.【1】This kind of learning has different names: online learning or distance learning. Regardless of what it is called, this idea may create an impression of a lonely kid reading pages of information on a computer screen rather than from a book or an image of another kid spending the day playing video games instead of learning mathematics or reading a book. Where online education is concerned, both of these are false! Actually, online learning simply means learning differently.
【2】Flexibility is the main advantage. Students can attend school wherever and whenever they desire. Homework can be turned in from anywhere the student has Internet access. Additionally, many online schools will allow students to work at their own pace.
Another advantage of online schooling is with the variety of courses. Most online schools teach the same basic classes like English, math, science, and history.【3】However, traditional schools are often unable to offer these types of classes if there are not enough students.
Online schools also have different types of learning tools for kids to use. For example, many online schools have special Web sites where only students registered in online classes can watch videos, see lessons presented, or chat with teachers and other students. Some online schools have live class times where students can call and talk with the teacher directly. 【4】
Computer technology is amazing, and we use computers for chatting with our friends, listening to music, and playing games.【5】Since 2012, at least 38 states either have had their own online schools or made rules for students attending them. It looks like online schools are here to stay, but only you can decide if this type of learning is right for you.
A．Online schools offer many benefits for the learners.
B．Of course, there are some disadvantages of going to school online.
C．Almost every part of our lives is affected by it, and school is no exception.
D．They attend school over the Internet using ordinary home or library computers.
E．Other online schools even have online clubs where kids can talk about their hobbies.
F．Some online schools also offer specialized classes in subjects such as space science, French, or zoology.
G．For some students, online school may be ideal, but for others, traditional school may better meet their needs.
23、Today’s journalists face modern challenges. Online media platforms are springing up. And the lowly newspaper---and its reporters---are fighting money, tech, and distrust issues. Journalism students and teachers must emphasize new skills to keep their profession alive.
A trustworthy press helps inform people and monitor all levels of government. That is essential to a nation. Yet this useful establishment is growing increasingly unpopular. According to the University of North Carolina (UNC), newsroom jobs across the Country are fewer than half what they were 10 years ago. And on many college campuses, the news about the news is bleak too.
Take the Syracuse, New York, student-run newspaper The Daily Orange: It isn’t daily anymore. The paper prints just three times each week. Next year, The Diamondback of the University of Maryland will be online only. Half the newspapers that still exist on paper say they don’t print as many copies. And UNC’s The Daily Tar Heel has cut staff pay and rented cheaper offices to make its budget.
Considering the problems in journalism, it’s surprising that the enrollment(注册人数) in college journalism programs is up. The Daily Orange managing editor Catherine Leffert calls the layoffs and cutbacks disheartening. “But what keeps me wanting to be a journalist is seeing the effect that The Daily Orange has,” he says.
But journalism educators wonder, “Are we preparing young people for a dying industry?” Years ago, journalism graduates took low-level reporter jobs at newspapers or television stations. That still happens. But today’s jobs more often involve digital editing, social media production, and video streaming. Some universities are taking action. The University of Florida offers a sports media program. Several schools highlight statistics-driven data journalism.
The news isn’t all bad. Journalism professor Kathleen Culver says, “When I look at 18-and 20-year-olds in journalism and see what they want to do, I’m optimistic.” Maddy Arrowood is the student editor of The Daily Tar Heel. She says her experience makes her more interested in a journalism career, not less. Her optimism “comes from knowing that people still need news. They still need information.”
【1】What does the underlined word “bleak” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Hopeless
B．Interesting
C．Useless
D．Encouraging
【2】How do some universities respond to today’s journalism?
A．They reduce student enrollment.
B．They offer students specialized programs.
C．They prepare students for low-level reporter jobs.
D．They encourage students to run their own newspaper.
【3】Why is Maddy Arrowood mentioned in the last paragraph?
A．To show people’s positive attitudes to journalists.
B．To prove the potential of a career in journalism.
C．To show the popularity of The Daily Tar Heel.
D．To prove people’s thirst for the latest news.
【4】What might be the best title for the text?
A．What is journalism?
B．What does a journalist do?
C．Does journalism have a future?
D．Are journalists still influential today?
24、By far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work．This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study．Many students muddle along，doing a bit of this subject or that，as the mood takes them，or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.
Few students work to a set timetable．They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it，or would have to change it frequently，since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be.
No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others．There are many who shy away from a self-controlled weekly timetable，and dislike being tied down to a fixed program of work．Many able students state that they work in cycles．When they become interested in a topic they work on it attentively for three or four days at a time．On other days they avoid work completely．It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation to work．Most people over 25 years of age have become used to a work routine，and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work．The “tough-minded” school of workers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally，under the influence of inspiration.
Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom”．Freedom from control and discipline leads to unhappiness rather than to “self-expression” or “personality development”．Our society insists on regular habits，timekeeping and punctuality (being on time)，and whether we like it or not，if we mean to make our way in society，we have to meet its demands.
【1】The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is __________ .
A． changing from one subject to another
B． the failure to keep to a set timetable of work

B． Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed timetable.
C． Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable.
D． Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally.
【3】The underlined part “as the fit takes them” means __________.
A． when they have the energy
B． when they are in the mood
C． when they feel fit
D． when they find conditions suitable
【4】A suitable title for the passage might be __________.
A． Attitudes to Study
B． A Study Plan
C． The Difficulties of Studying
