根据短文内容，判断正误（正确“T”，错误“F”），并将答案涂到答题卡的相应位置上。

“Which is the right bin for my rubbish?” This may be the most asked question in Shanghai since it started a new garbage-sorting (垃圾分类) program on July 1, 2019 When learning about the four kinds of rubbish-wet, dry, recyclable (可回收的) and harmful-many people maybe don' know how to properly sort it.

To help people solve this problem, China's technology companies are giving a hand. For example, if you want to know which bin your wet wipes (湿巾) should go in, you can just open a mini app in WeChat or Alipay and look for “wet wipes”. The app will give you the answer right away. Soon, you might do it in an easier way. Maybe you can just take a photo of the rubbish and then be told where it should go.

This kind of technology is called image recognition (图像识别). It uses artificial intelligence (AI, 人工智能). Many companies around the world are making garbage-sorting robots that use this technology. For example, AMP Robotics in the US has made a robot that can sort food and drink packages (包装).By “seeing” pictures on the packages, the robot will pick up the rubbish and put it in the right place.

The future of garbage-sorting looks good. But it's not the best way. The best thing we can do is to make less rubbish in the first place.

1.The people in Shanghai must put the rubbish into the right bin since July 1, 2019.

2.People know how to sort the five kinds of rubbish.

3.WeChat can help people sort the rubbish correctly.

4.According to paragraph 3, garbage-sorting robots can only “seeing”pictures on the packages.

5.Making less rubbish is the best thing we can do in the first place.

After a busy morning at work, lunchtime gives me a chance to do many things, such as exercise, read or watch TV. One cultural difference I've noticed between Britain and China is what we do during lunchtime.

Here in China, workers have longer lunch breaks, which gives them enough time to take a short nap. So Chinese people usually use lunchtime to rest. I often see office workers rest their heads on their desks. The room turns into a quiet “bedroom”. Once, I even saw workers in a restaurant taking short naps as well. This is also very common for students in China. After lunch, they will go back to their dormitories (宿舍) or classrooms to take a nap. Chinese people believe a short nap at noon can help them feel more energetic in the afternoon.

In Britain, this activity is quite uncommon. British students usually have a one-hour lunch break. Instead of napping, they fill that time by playing sports or talking with friends.

Most workers in Britain don't get the chance to nap. They generally have short lunch breaks-between 30 minutes to an hour. There is not enough time to have a nap. Because of the shortness of their lunch breaks, it is common for people to work through lunch or just finish their lunch at their desk.

1.What does the writer often do after lunch?

A.Sleeps or docs some reading. B.Talks with friends or sleeps.

C.Watches TV or plays sports. D.Does chores or takes a short rest.

2.The underlined word “Nap“ means_______.

A.聊天 B.锻炼 C.散步 D.小睡

3.Which of the sentence is TRUE?

A.Taking naps is not common for Chinese students.

B.Workers have shorter lunch breaks in Britain.

C.Workers in restaurants hardly take short naps during lunch breaks.

D.Chinese people believe a nap can help them feel less energetic.

4.In the last paragraph, “They“ refers to（指代） _______.

A.Chinese workers. B.Chinese students. C.English workers. D.English students.

5.The writer of this passage probably comes from________.

A.England B.China C.Japan D.Korea
