For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: First, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that founders and rollers will break up everything that can be broken. Finally, the rubbish will pass under magnets（磁铁）, which will remove the bits of iron and steel；the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.The first full-scale giant recycling plants are perhaps fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.11. The phrase “should be well on with...”（Para. 1）most probably means _____．A. have completed what was startedB. get ready to startC. have achieved a great deal inD. put an end to12. What is NOT mentioned as a part of the recycling process described in Para.3?A. Breaking up whatever is breakable．B. Sharpening metal bars.C. Separating light elements from the heavy ones.D. Sorting out small pieces of metal.13. What’s the main reason for big cities to build thei r own recycling plants?A. To make better use of rubbish.B. To cope with air pollution.C. To get raw materials locally.D. To get big profits from those plants.14. According to the passage, the first full-scale huge recycling plants _______.A. have begun to operateB. will take the place of distant dumpsC. will not facilitate rubbish transportationD. will probably be in operation in fifteen years15. The passage is mainly about _______.A. a cheaper way to get energyB. the choice of location of recycling plantsC. new ways of recycling wastesD. the protection of city environmentPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.People across the world use Airbnb to offer their homes to travelers usually for a nightly fee. The home-sharing service provides some people a way to make extra money while they work other jobs.The company announced recently that one of its most popular professions among American Airbnb hosts is teaching. The information came from an Airbnb study to find out what industries its American hosts work in. The study found that almost 10 percent of U.S. Airbnb hosts in 2017 identified themselves as teachers or in the field of education. The home-sharing service estimated it has about 45,000 active teacher hosts in America. In addition, the study says there are an estimated 75,000 other hosts living in households with a teacher.American teacher hosts earned more than $160 million dollars from Airbnb in 2017, the company said. That includes about $54 million earned during the summer alone. The average amount earned by teacher hosts individually was $6,500 in 2017. The study did not provide data from hosts about why they choose to become part of Airbnb. But the company noted that many teachers in America face difficult economic situations. Airbnb says additional earnings from hosting can help.The U.S. Department of Education reported this year that 94 percent of public school teachers said they had spent their own money on some classroom supplies in the 2015-2016 school year. It also reported that the average pay for public school teachers in 2015–2016 was lower than in the 1990-1991 school year when the inflation rate was considered. Some states had even higher rates of teacher host s than Airbnb’s estimated national average.Airbnb spokesman Christopher Nulty told The Atlantic magazine that the home-sharing industry was not a total solution for the current problems facing many teachers. But he said he thought Airbnb could be an “important tool” to help teachers make extra money and give them “the respect and dignity” they ha d earned.The report on the number of teacher hosts comes as Airbnb continues to face opposition by activists and officials in some areas. U.S. critics of the company say the service is driving up rental market prices in several cities. Elected officials in some areas have proposed or approved rules to limit the influence of the service. Hotel companies have also protested that the business presents unfair competition.16. According to the text, Airbnb is ________.A. one of the most popular professionsB. a home-sharing serviceC. a hotel companyD. an information company17. Teachers choose to become part of Airbnb because of ________.A. their economic difficultyB. respect and dignityC. the lack of classroom suppliesD. the high rental price。
