Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.
Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源), we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.
1.Which is not mentioned in this passage?
A. Fresh water. B. Forest. C. Oil. D. Coal.
2.What may happen in 100 years?
A. We may still have enough oil.
B. We may still have enough coal.
C. We may have a little oil.
D. We may have no coal or oil to use.
3.Which of the following is right?
A. Waste brings problems.
B. Waste can bring no problem.
C. China is rich in fresh water.
D. Students never waste things.
4.Which is the best title of this passage?

D. Rich Resources in China

China’s high-tech buildings can be seen everywhere in places like Beijing and Shanghai, but a few hundred miles away in Shanxi province, some three million people still live in caves.
These simple homes often dot the countryside in small, hard-to-find groups, but in places like Lijiashan, where hundreds of caves are on nine different levels of a hillside, it is possible to find whole villages made up entirely of cave livers.
People have been living in caves in Shanxi for around 5,000 years, and it is believed that at one time a quarter of the population lived underground. These days around one-twelfth live in caves and for many of them, life is almost as it was for their ancestors.
Lijiashan, a 550-year-old cave village is typical. Like most cave villages, there is still no running water, meaning locals are using muddy water of the nearby Yellow River. Most homes still have paper windows rather than glass ones. Inside, their owners sleep on large stone beds, known as kang; cool in the summer, but fires can be lit inside them during the winter months.
Lijiashan once housed 600 families. But now there are just over 40. Mr Li’s family has lived in Lijiashan for six generations. After his kids left the village to find work elsewhere, he and his wife turned their 180-year-old home into a guest house with cave bed-rooms where Chinese art students stay when they come to paint the unusual village landscape.
“The only people left here now are old people,” he said, “As soon as the children grow up they leave. They don’t mind living here by the Yellow River. Sometimes they just move down the road. But they want to live in new apartments, not in these old caves.”
1.According to the passage, in Lijiashan________.
A. some three million people still live in caves B. hundreds of caves are hard to find
C. all the villagers are cave livers D. people live in small groups
2.In a typical cave village_________.
A. people usually use water of the river B. the houses have glass windows
C. people sleep on the ground D. there is running water
3.Why do the families in Lijiashan become fewer and fewer?
A. Because old people have to leave their homes to have a better life.
B. Because the students go to school in the city.
C. Because caves are not fit to live now.
D. Because young people don’t want to live there any more.
4.The underlined word “landscape” can probably be replaced by_______.
A. animal B. scenery C. clothing D. window

All animals produce waste. We call it “waste,” but we all know it can be very useful. In some parts of the world, animal waste, or poop, is collected, dried, and burned for cooking and heating. 1.
The Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Center has an unusual way of using animal “waste.” The center’s 40 pandas produce about two tons of poop a day. This material is being turned into a new product called Panda Poop Paper. 2. After all, paper is made from plant fiber, which cannot be digested and simply goes through the body as waste.
Since pandas eat nothing but bamboo, their “waste” is perfect paper material. 3.
Their stomachs haven’t fully developed for their vegetarian diet, so their bodies make use of just 20% of what they eat. The other 80% comes out as poop: very high in fiber and perfect for paper.
Once the poop is collected, it is cleaned with chemicals, crushed(碾碎), and put into frames(框架) to dry. 4. Because of its good quality as well as the worldwide popularity of the panda, gift products made from the paper sell well.
5.They got the idea from the elephant dung(大象粪) paper made at Elephant Conservation Center in Chiang Mai, Thailand. And Creative Paper Wales in the U.K. sell paper gifts made from sheep waste.
A. But do you know some paper from poop?
B. Where does the paper come from?
C. After these steps, good, strong paper comes into being.
D. Moreover, there is more special about pandas.
E. It’s not really that strange!
F. Yet, the Chinese weren’t the first people producing paper from animal waste.
G. Farmers have been using animal and human waste for a long time.

In the UK, students’ residence halls are run as profit-making business, but this can occasionally be to students’ disadvantage.
As many universities choose to contract out their hall’s management to private companies, room rents are rising and student rights are suffering.
In 2006, 55 percent of student rooms were managed by private companies — only 27 percent by universities and colleges, the National Union of Students (NUS) has reported.
These private companies are improving the hall’s facilities in return for higher room rents. The most noticeable example of this trend is the growth in luxury halls. These are halls for students willing to pay more for larger rooms with better services.
Chancellors Court, at Edinburgh University in Scotland, is one such luxury hall. Rooms are divided between standard and large, with larger rooms costing 173 pounds each week, 40 pounds more than smaller rooms. They come with a scenic view, color TV, fast Internet connection and a modern bathroom.
Other luxury halls have private gyms for their residents. Private companies capitalize (用…以牟利) on their investment by renting out the students rooms to travelers over the summer vacation period.
But the NUS is concerned that luxury halls are affecting room rents at standard un-privatized halls. Most students in the UK pay on average 126 pounds a week for a private room in catered (提供餐饮的) halls of residence, the International Students Advice and Welfare organization has reported. According to the NUS, rent in UK halls of residence has risen by almost a quarter from 2005 to 2007.
Veronica King, NUS vice-president of welfare, wants the privatization of university accommodation to stop.
“For the students for whom luxury is not affordable, there is a significant risk that accommodation costs, coupled with the burden of complete fees, may reduce the choice of where to go to university,” she said.
Legal quarrels with privatized halls may also account for some of the 10 percent per year rise in student complaints to the Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education (OIA). The OIA is an independent student complaints scheme that has authority over all higher education institutions in England and Wales.
Rob Behrens, chief executive of the OIA, said he was unsurprised by the rise in complaints. “The bottom line is that students are today more self-confident in thinking about what their rights are and what are the things they can get form the commitments they make.”
1.Why are room rents rising in British universities?
A.Because the world is facing a financial crisis.
B.Because most universities are getting bored about students’ complaints.
C.Because many universities let private companies run students’ halls.
D.Because not all universities can meet the demands of the students.
2. Which of the following is not mentioned about a luxury hall?
A.Students have to pay more for a luxury hall.
B.Students can have a good view in a luxury hall.
C.Students can enjoy their own gym in a luxury hall.
D.Students can have an Internet connection free of charge.
3.Why do some students want to pay more for a luxury hall?
A.Because they just want to show that they are rich.
B.Because they are better served in a luxury hall.
C.Because there are too much complaints about small rooms.
D.Because there are no other choices.
