The concept is being used to deal with one possibly dangerous form of waste — electronic junk (电子垃圾), such as old computers, cell phones, and televisions. But this process for managing e-waste may beused in an unscrupulous way more often than not used, a recent report suggests.“A lot of these materials are being sent to developing nations under the excuse of reuse —to bridge the digital divide,” said Richard Gutierrez, a policy researcher.One of the problems is that no one proves whether these old machines work before they hit the seaways. Because of this, the report says, e-waste is a growing problem in Lagos, Nigeria, and elsewhere in the developing world. Much of the waste ends up being thrown away along rivers and roads. Often it’s picked apart by poor people, who may face dangerous exposure to poisonous chemicals in the equipment.Businessmen also pay workers a little money to get back materials such as gold and copper. This low-tech recovery process could expose workers and the local environment to many dangerous materials used to build electronics. According to Gutierrez, this shadow economy exists because the excuse of recycling and reusing electronics gives businessmen “a green passport” to ship waste around the globe. “Developing nations must take upon some of the responsibility themselves,” Gutierrez said. But, he added, “A greater portion of this responsibility should fall on the exporting state.”China, for example, has become a dumping place for large amounts of e-waste. The nation is beginning to take action to stop the flow of dangerous materials across its borders. The Chinese government, after many years of denial is finally beginning to take the lead.56. The passage mainly tells us that _______.A. developing countries are facing serious environmental problemsB. e-waste is a growing problem in developed countriesC. developing countries are making full use of e-wasteD. e-waste is sent to developing countries under the excuse of reuse57. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?A. A lot of e-waste is dumped in developing countries.B. Poor people break up e-waste to collect some valuable materials.C. The problem of e-waste is growing in developing countries.D. Old computers and TVs still work before they are sent abroad.58. From what Gutierrez said we can learn that ________.A. exporting countries should be mainly responsible for this problemB. developing countries should be responsible for this problemC. neither rich nor poor countries should be blamed for this problemD. poor countries should be blamed for this problem59. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ____________.A. China has hidden a large amount of e-waste in many secret placesB. China has prevented poisonous materials from entering China for a long timeC. China has greatly changed her idea about the problem of e-wasteD. China is falling behind other countries in dealing with e-wasteBAn invisible smileMr. Dawson was an old grouch（总在怨天尤人的人）, and everyone in town knew it. Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick a delicious apple, even off the ground, because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his ball bullet gun.One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy. They had to walk by Dawson’s house on the way to Amy’s house, but as they got close Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over to the other side of the street. Like most of the children, she was scared of the old man because of the stories she’d heard about him.Amy said not to wo rry, Mr. Dawson wouldn’t hurt anyone. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown, but when he saw it was Amy, a broad smile changed his entire face as he said, “Hello Miss Amy. I see you’ve got a little friend with you today.”Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree.When they got out of Dawson on earshot, Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he’s the meanest man in town. How come was he so nice to us?”Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house he wasn’t very friendly and she was afraid of him, but she pretended he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled back at him. It took a while, but one day he half-smiled back at her.After some more time, he started smiling real smiles and then started talking to her."An invisible smile?" questioned Janet."Yes," answered Amy, "my grandma told me that if I pretended I wasn’t afraid and pretended he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back at him, that sooner or later he would really smile. Grandma says smiles are contagious."However, i t’s so easy to get caught up in everyday life that we forget how simple it can be to bring cheer to ourselves and others. If we remember what Amy’s grandma said, that everyone wears an invisible smile, we too will find that most people can’t resist our smile after a while.60.Many kids didn’t dare to go into Mr. Dawson’s yard to pick a sweet apple because _____.A. Mr. Dawson didn’t like kidsB. they were afraid of being punished by Mr. DawsonC. Mr. Dawson was a bad-tempered old manD. their parents told them not to61. Amy told Janet not to worry because she knew Mr. Dawson would _________.A. invite them to his yard for funB. give them each a fresh picked appleC. not aim at them with his gunD. be friendly to them62. The underlined word “contagious” means _________.A. powerfulB. friendlyC. infectiousD. fantastic63. What’s the last paragraph mainly about ?A. People are so busy in everyday life that they don’t know how to keep cheerful.B. People always hide their smiles though others smile at them.C. If you offer a friendly smile to others, they will smile in response sooner or later.D. If you wear an invisible smile, you will find it easy to smile at others.CI love my blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me . I also love my laptop computer ，as it holds all of my writing and thoughts .Despite this love of technology ,I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices（设备）and truly communicate with others.On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes andideas .Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom ,I have a rule —no laptop ,iPads ,phones ,etc .When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy .Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology . There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology . There’s no truth in that at all . I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas . I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the material and the class discussion .I’ve been teaching my history cl ass in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create .Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom .I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change ,I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.64. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with____A. the course materialB. others’ misuse of technologyC. the author’s class regulationsD. discussion topics65. The underlined word “engage ”in para.4 probably means ____A. rejectB. acceptC. changeD. explore66. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ____A. keep students from doing independent thinkingB. encourage students to have in-depth conversationsC. help students to better understand complex themesD. affect students’ concentration on course evaluation67. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ____A. is quite stubbornB. values technology-free dialogues in his classC. will change his teaching plan soonD. will give up teaching history第二卷一．请认真阅读下列短文，然后回答下列问题：DEating disorder is very common now. “When I first wrote about this. the problem was pretty much hidden … I didn't expect it to get as bad as it is.” Susie Orbach, an international authority on eating disorders, said.Orbach must at times think the anti-diet message of her book “fat is a Feminist Issue(女权主义问题)”has been lost since it was written more than 20 years ago.Girls, boys, old people—even the famously well-rounded female population of Fiji are falling victims to fat fear."If anything, the situation has got much, much worse. We now have kids as young as eight and women in old people's homes worried about the way they look." Orbach said.Even though it has been proved that repeated dieting results in a little more than regaining most of the lost weight, constant dieting has become a way of life for many women.48 per cent of British women aged 25 to 35 were on some kind of diet and 20 per cent of young women dieted all or most of time. Some of them said they would pop a pill to give them their beautiful shape, even if it meant risking their health. Worldwide, 70 million people have an eating disorder. Most are women, but men are increasingly affected, too.More than half the women and two thirds of the men in Britain weigh too much, while in the United States more than one quarter of adults and about one in five children are overweight. The idea that female beauty is a very thin body could be changed, if clothing factories and magazines showed images(形象) of women of all shapes instead of selecting skeletal-like models and stick-thin actress.回答下列问题：8％1.
