Passage One

I can’t remember when I started collecting litter. But it was when I got tired of seeing litter near my home and realized that no one else was going to pick it up.

I live close to a forest in Ohio， America. I can walk there in three minutes！ I used to love going there to play with my dog. But one day there was so much litter there that I became very unhappy. I decided to clean up the forest. I wanted to feel happy going there again.

I made my first trip to clean the forest that afternoon. I took a big black rubbish bag with me. Ten minutes after starting to pick up litter， my bag was full！ It had cans， bottles， broken glass and newspapers in it.

Since that first trip three years ago， I’ve gone to the forest four times a year to pick up litter. I’m often there for three hours.It makes me feel great to do something for the environment.

After each trip， I look at all the litter I’ve found. If any of it is recyclable， I keep it. I can’t understand why people drop litter. But I will keep picking it up until they stop dropping it.

I know I can only do a small bit to help the earth， but I still think it is important.

（ ） 1. When did the writer begin to collect litter？

A. After he left school.

B. When he was young.

C. After he moved to a new place.

D. When he realized no one else picked it up.

（ ） 2. Where does the writer live？

A. In a forest.

B. Near a forest.

C. Far away from a forest.

D. In a place with much litter.

（ ） 3. Why does the writer collect litter？

A. To save the earth.B. To do his duty.

C. To get a prize.D. To make the place clean.

（ ） 4. From the passage we can infer that the writer ___ .

A. will go on collecting litter

B. always collects a lot of litter

C. thinks he is doing a great thing

D. thinks everyone should protect the environment

Passage Two

Think of all the things you throw away： juice bottles， soda cans， candy covers. It adds up. How much rubbish do you produce？ Americans throw away about 1 ton of rubbish per person every year. That’s 2000 pounds of rubbish！ Most of the rubbish gets covered in big holes in the round called landfills （垃圾掩埋法）.

A lot of this rubbish can be recycled， or turned back to something useful. The main things we recycle today are made from metal， paper.

People recycle for many reasons. One of the main reasons is to protect resources （資源）. Making new cans out of old ones means less aluminum （鋁） is needed for new cans.

This leads to a second reason people recycle： it saves energy. Recycling old aluminum cans takes much less energy than making new aluminum. To make new aluminum， you need to mine metal ore （礦石） from the ground， remove it， and refine （精煉） it， into a finished metal.

Recycling also protects valuable land. By recycling， we produce less rubbish. That means fewer landfills are needed for dropping our rubbish.

Because metals are somewhat costly to make， they are the world’s most recycled materials. About two-thirds of all steel （鋼） is recycled.

Almost all drink cans are made of aluminum. Americans recycle about one-third of their used aluminum cans. Empty cans are sent to special factories. There， they are cleaned， melted， and made into new pieces of aluminum.

Americans use lots of paper—mostly in the form of newspapers， magazines， and cardboard boxes. In fact， paper takes up more space in landfills than any other material.

Old paper can be cut and made into new paper. Americans recycle a little more than one-third of their paper rubbish. New papers are made from trees， each ton of recycled paper saves about 17 trees！

（ ） 1. You can most probably read the passage in ___ .

A. a science bookB. an advertisement

C. To protect valuable land， because there is no place to

bury rubbish.

D. To protect resources， save energy and protect valuable

land.

（ ） 3. Which of the following is true？

A. People recycle paper from the trees.

B. Papers take up less space in the landfills.

C. Recycling paper can’t protect environment.
