英语阅读理解专项练习1．阅读理解When throwing away rubbish, do you know which Bin it should go in? Have youever noticed the differently-colored Bins on the street?Some of you might not be able to answer this question. However, it's actually quite important to know how to sort your waste. Not knowing how to sort waste can makeit harder to save energy and protect the environment.If you don't sort your waste, all of it will go to a landfill and be buried（埋）together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could have been usedfor planting trees or crops. The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries,can pollute the soil and groundwater. Other pieces of waste, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.With this in mind, many cities in China have been running waste-sorting campaigns（活动）in recent years. For example, Shanghai announced in July that within three years, all of its residents（居民）should sort their waste into four groups wet, recyclable, harmful and dry."Wet" waste is also known as household waste." They are things you don't want butthat pigs can eat," Guangzhou Daily explained. Paper, metal, glass and other thingsthat can be reused are recyclable waste.Harmful waste includes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs. Finally, any waste that's not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in the" dry waste" bin.Many other Chinese cities, including Shenzhen, plan to use this method to sort their garbage. Now that you know this, perhaps you can do your part to protect the environment and encourage others to sort their waste.（1）The passage is most probably from a（an）__________.A. newspaperB. notionC.

There was a little golden key on it. She picked it and put it in all the locks on the doors but it didn't open any of them. She moved a curtain on one of the walls and discovered another door, a very small one. She put the key in the lock. It was exactly the right size! She opened the door and looked through it. At the end of a low passage she saw a beautiful garden. It was full of brightly coloured flowers and fountains."Oh, how beautiful!" she said. "I'd love to go there but I'm too big to get through the door."She walked back to the table. There was a bottle on it now."I'm sure that bottle wasn't there before," she said, a little confused.She put down the key and picked up the bottle. She read the words "DRINK ME" on it. Alice wasn't a stupid girl. She didn't drink it immediately. First she looked at the bottle carefully. There wasn't a label on it that said "POISON".So she put the bottle to her lips and drank."Mmm, it’s nice," she said. It tasted like cherry tart, pineapple, roast turkey and toast-all the things that she liked to eat-so she drank some more. And some more. Soon the bottle was empty."What a curious feeling," she said. "I'm getting smaller and smaller.'" It was true! She was now as small as her cat Dinah."Good! I can go through the door into the garden," she said. But, poor Alice! When she got to the door, she didn't have the key! It was on the table. She couldn't reach it because she was too small now. She sat down and cried.After a while she said, "Alice! Stop crying! Crying doesn't help! Dry your tears immediately!"When she looked at the table again, she saw a small glass box under it. She picked it up and opened it. There was a small cake inside. It had the words "EAT ME" on it. She put a small piece of it in her mouth."If I grow bigger I can reach the key," she thought. "And if I grow smaller I can go under the door."But nothing happened so she finished it.（1）From the passage we can know that _______________________.A. at first Alice could go through the door into the garden easilyB. then Alice found there was a little golden key on a small wooden tableC.

Here is a 5R rule for us:ReduceIf you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely（明智地）. A larger number of trees are cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly, soon we will not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don't know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to use things wisely.ReuseYou should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them away. For example, you can give your clothes you do not wear any more to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.RecycleBottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By recycling them we save lots of time and money. For example, Coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat （压平） and melted（融化） and the metal things are made for new Coke cans.Recover（恢复）When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten（腐烂的） apples, you have two choices（选择）: One is to throw the whole apples away, or you can cut off the rotten parts and keep the good parts. In the way, you are recovering the eatable （能吃的） parts of food.RepairIf one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other peoplewho can use them after doing some repair.（1）The "reduce" rule mainly wants us .A. to use things wiselyB. to cut down many treesC. to use a lot of paperD. to throw away your old things（2）What's the right order of recycling Coke cans?a. collect the used cansb. melt themc. smash them flatd. send them to a factoryA. a, b, c, dB. a, d, c, bC. d, b, c, aD. c, a, b, d（3）The "recover" rule mainly wants us .A. to throw waste things awayB. to cover waste things with earthC. to get back the useful partsD. to throw the whole things away（4）Which is the best way to do with your broken tables?A.

However, my family is very big on having a traditional career （职业）and so when I said that I wanted to go to college and study writing, my parents told me that I couldn't. They told me that I had to study for a degree so that I would achieve a career, and not something as risky as writing. I suppose I could have studied joumalism （新闻）,but I didn't want to lose interest in writing because it would be something I would do every day for work, not for pleasure. I thought that teaching looked like a pretty good compromise （妥协） , especially because of the long holidays. It was a good choice: by the time I was twenty-five，I'd already finished two novels and had an agent.To be honest, I never meant to keep my being a crime writer a secret or anything, and my friends have always known. One of the reasons most people don't know is because my agent told me that my name Hazel sounded too much like a romance （浪漫） novelist for older women. She suggested Brooke Lane and I thought, "Well, if you think it'll make me successful, okay," I'd totally forgotten about it until I walked into school one day and saw one of my workmates reading my novel. I asked hersome questions about it, and it was so clear that she had no idea that I'd written it - sheeven offered to lend it to me after she'd finished! Of course, sometimes I wonderwhat my students would think if they knew that their teacher was going home on the weekend to write about murders and dead bodies, but I think my parents probably didme a favor: my teaching job keeps me in touch with the real world.（1）Hazel is probably ． A. an agentB. a journalistC. a teacher and artistD. a teacher and writer（2）The underlined words "is very big on " in the passage most probably mean .A. to give no adviceB. to like something very muchC. to have more experiencesD. to misunderstand something（3）It's clear that Hazel .A. agreed to study journalism for a degreeB. accepted Brooke Lane as her pen nameC. would like to write something for teachingD. told her workmates about her writing novels（4）Hazel finally realized that her parents' advice on her career was .A. helpfulB. excitingC. disappointingD. risky（5）We can infer from the passage that .A. Hazel likes showing off in publicB. Hazel's students all want to write novelsC. Hazel's agent has played a role in her successD. older women prefer the name Brooke to Hazel7．阅读短文，判断正误。
