Garbage or trash is a major kind of environmental pollution. Each person produces about two kilograms of trash a day. We are making waste products faster than nature can break them down. And we are using up resources(资源) faster than they can be replaced(取代).

This adds up to trouble for the environment. Where does all that garbage go? What can be done to help dispose of(处理) garbage? How can we make less garbage?

Garbage isn’t just the smelly rotting fruit, vegetables or meat that we throw away in our homes. Those are only a small part of all the stuff we throw away. We create other kings of waste in construction, mining and in our factories.

Did you ever wonder what happens to your garbage? Most is burned or buried in landfills(垃圾填埋场).Less than a quarter of our waste is recycled.

With a population of 1.3 billion, garbage is a big problem for China. Chinese cities create around 148 million tons of garbage every year. The amount is growing at around 10 percent each year.

Once, we used about 3 billion plastic shopping bags every day in China. The result was a great waste of resources and serious pollution. Last year we did something about that. Now we use more cloth bags and shopping baskets when we shop.

In the coming years, China will build waste-to-energy plants in cities to clean up garbage. But there’s a lot more that needs to be done. And you can play a part.

1.What can be learned from the first paragraph?

A.Garbage is the most serious kind of environmental pollution.

B.Each person produces 20 kilograms of garbage a week.

A computer program that could help catch and even translate messages from aliens in outer space has been developed by a British scientist.

If aliens are discovered one day, scientists fear their language may make it impossible to understand them. But John Elliott of Leeds Metropolitan University in Britain has come up with a program that can figure out the structure(结构) of their language. He thinks that’s the first step in understanding what they are saying.

Dr Elliott’s program would compare an alien language to a database(数据库) of 60 different languages in the world to look for a similar structure. He believes that even an alien language will have its won structure. “Language has to be structured in a certain way, or it will be hard to use,” he told New Scientist Magazine.

Research has shown that it is possible to know if a signal(信号) carries a language rather than a picture or music. Dr Elliott has gone a step further by finding a way to pick out what might be words and sentences. Because languages have different word orders, Dr Elliott has set up a library of the sentence structures of 60 human languages.

If a message is received from outer space, it could be compared against this database. Scientists would then be able to see if it’s similar to any human language, or a mix of the languages.

However, Dr Elliott also said that in order to translate what the aliens are actually saying, it may still be necessary to have a “code(密码) book”.

1.Why did Dr Elliott come up with the program?

A.To learn more about outer space. B.To develop a new language.

C.To help translate messages from aliens. D.To compare an alien language to human languages.

2.According to Dr Elliott, what’s the first step of understanding an alien language?

A.Coming up with a program B.Knowing its structure

C.Understanding aliens D.Discovering aliens

3.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?

A.A way to make the program work.

B.Dr Elliott’s findings about different kinds of languages.

C.Three important functions of the program.

D.The number of sentence structures of human languages.

4.How does the program work when it receives a message from aliens?

A.Mix the message with 60 human languages.

B.Translate the message and send it to the database.

C.Pick out the sentence structure and translate it.

D.Compare the message to the database of 60 human languages.

5.What can we infer from the story?

A.Not all languages have their own structures.

B.To translate alien languages, there is much work to do.

C.The structure of alien languages is similar to that of human languages.

D.Alien languages are signals carrying pictures and music.

Since is was built during the Ming Dynasty, it’s said that the Forbidden City has survived more than 200 earthquakes. For an old building made from wood and stone, that’s really impressive. But what’s even more impressive is the intelligent(智能) design feature(特点) that’s kept it standing for all these years.

According to experts, the answer to the Forbidden City’s strength(牢固), as well as other ancient Chinese buildings’, lies in dougong — a centuries-old building method invented in China. This is the name for special brackets(构件) on building. Although being held together without any nails(钉子) or glue, the brackets are perfect at keeping structures together when the weather gets bad.

“Dougong design is an important earthquake resistant(抗震的) feature of classical Chinese structures, because the framework(框架) changes in shape when under pressure, much like the shock absorbers(减震器) of a car,” according to Chinese National Geography. “Ancient Chinese craftsmen(工匠) created structures that were both lasting and aesthetically(在美学方面) pleasing, showing their advanced understanding of architecture, materials, and structural science.”

A recent television documentary by UK broadcaster Channel 4 put the skills of the ancient building’s designers to the test. A group of Chinese craftsmen and engineers were shown building a scale model(按比例制作的模型) of one of the Forbidden City’s places, at one fifth of the size.

To show how strong ancient Chinese architecture really is, the model went through a simulated(模拟的) earthquake of 9.5 on the Richter scale—equivalent(等同于) to the largest ever recorded quake — and survived. Instead of falling apart, the model was just moved gently during the test.

The Forbidden City draws visitors because of its rich history and cultural importance, but perhaps it should add one more thing to its list of attractions: earthquake shelter.

1.What is the article mainly about?

A.What has made the Forbidden City a popular tourist destination.

B.What has helped the Forbidden City survive so many earthquakes.

C.The characteristics(特点) of Chinese architecture during the Ming Dynasty.

D.Different building methods used in ancient Chinese structures.

2.The aim of the test in the UK documentary was to __________.

A.recreate a real earthquake from the Ming Dynasty

B.discover a long-lost Chinese building method

C.explain the impact(影响) of earthquakes on ancient buildings

D.prove the strength of ancient Chinese architecture

3.According to the article, “dougong” is __________.

A.a paint that gives Chinese buildings an attractive look

B.a tool used by ancient people to measure earthquakes

C.a special building part that keeps a traditional Chinese building together

D.a building piece located in the center of a traditional Chinese house

4.The underlined word architecture in the third paragraph means __________.

A.方法 B.建筑 C.设计 D.应用

5.The Forbidden City is not attractive because of tis__________.

A.earthquake shelter B.rich history

C.ancient Chinese craftsmen D.cultural importance

Do you ever feel like you are just rushing from one subject to another? When things happen so fast, maybe you can’t understand clearly what you are doing or learning, so it is important to stop yourself to think about what you have been doing or learning.

Self-reflection(反省) means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind. By calming down and going slowly, you give your brain a chance to think about what it has already received. 1. Others keep a diary. What’s more, taking notes is also OK. Each method works, depending on your own personal learning. 2..

First, choose the proper time to do it. School textbooks are divided into units of study. This makes it easier to begin self-reflection. 3. Sometimes you know the unit is over because there is some kind of test. Use these natural breaks to stop and do self-reflection.

Then, find a quiet place and take out your reflection diary. 4. Let your mind think about the notes you have written and make some connections.

5. Maybe you learned a new way to work out a math problem, but you’re not sure when to use it.

Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic.

Successful students always know self-reflection is important. If you have never taken the time to do self-reflection, try it now.

A.Write down some notes on the new things that you learned in the unit.

B.You can follow the steps to do so self-reflection.

C.Some people prefer to do self-reflection only in their mind.

D.Finally, think about things that you are not sure of.

E.Look for time when you complete a unit of study.
