Chemicals used for industrial processes often create dangerous forms of waste. The amount of these chemicals has risen heavily in the past few years, as more areas of the world industrialize and new products are produced. Over 80,000 different chemicals are used in industries world-wide. Around the world hundreds of millions of tons of harmful waste are produced each year. Often, it is difficult and expensive to get rid of these chemicals or to store them in a way that does not endanger human life and the environment.
Every year, major health problems result from harmful waste. Sadly, it is often after someone has died or, become seriously ill that governments will take actions and reduce levels of dumped（倾倒的）harmful waste. In 1989, a school in New Jersey had to be closed because students there had suffered too much exposure（暴露）to chromium（铬）. It was later learned that large amounts of chromium had been dumped nearby and blown over to the school area.
Research has been done to provide information on the effects of every chemical.
Because waste chemicals often mix together, it will also be necessary to learn how the combinations of these chemicals affect human health.
Some governments have realized how serious the problem is and are making laws to get rid of harmful waste. They are also trying to limit the amount of waste industries are allowed to produce.
Not only governments but the public as well must form part of the solution. They can choose not to buy those products which require the production of harmful waste, attempt to affect policymakers, and produce less harmful waste themselves. Many scientists think that waste production can be cut. The waste can be reduced by at least one-third using existing technologies and methods.
1. What is mainly discussed in the text?
A. The effect of every chemical.
B. Problems of harmful waste.
C. Chemicals used for industrial processes.
D. Events related to waste chemicals.
答案解析：答案为B。

本题为主旨大意题。

文章先陈述工业生产过程中使用化学物产生的有害垃圾所导致的问题，并举例证明，最后探讨解决这一问题的方案。

在第一段的首句“Chemicals used for industrial processes often create dangerous forms of waste.”
和最后一句“Often, it is difficult and expensive to get rid of these chemicals or to store them in a wa y that does not endanger human life and the environment.”
都是在指出有害垃圾这一严峻的问题。

故答案为B。

2. From the text we know that .
A. chromium can poison people when there is a wind
B. chromium pollution makes the local government close the school
C. some governm ents don’t realize how serious the problems are until people suffer
a lot from harmful waste
D. about two-thirds of the waste can pollute the environment
答案解析：答案为C。

本题为细节推理题。

从第二段的第三句话“In 1989, a school in New Jersey had to be closed because students there had suffered too much exposure（暴露）to chromium（铬）.”可知，学校不得不被迫关闭是由于学生暴露在倾倒的垃圾铬之
中，生命受到了威胁，故答案为C “直到人们饱受有害废弃垃圾的危害，政府才意识到问题的严重性。

B选项只是文章的细节，属于表面现象；C选项真正概括了问题的本质，是通过细节推理出的总结性答案。

故选C。

从第二段的最后一句话“It was later learned that large amounts of chromium had been dum ped nearby and blown over to the school area.”可知，铬威胁着人的生命是由于“dumped nearby and blown over”即“倾倒而被风吹拂”, 而不仅仅由于风，故A选项错误。

D选项与文章最后一句话“The waste can be reduced by at least one-third using existing technologies and methods.”不符。

3. Which of the following least matches the solution the writer refers to?
A. Chemicals used for industrial processes should be banned.
B. People can make use of the existing technologies and methods to reduce the waste.
C. Policymakers make laws to limit the production of harmful waste.
D. People choose not to buy products which may produce harmful waste.
答案解析：答案为A。

本题考查作者的观点态度。

解答此题需看清题意“哪个选项与作者提到的解决方案最不匹配?”从文章的最后一段最后一句话“The waste can be reduced by at least one-third using existing technologies and methods.”可知，B选项正确；从最后一段“They can choose not to buy those products which require the production of harmful waste, attempt to affect policymakers, and produce less harmful waste themselves.”可知，作者的态度是号召政府与公众不买生产有害垃圾的产品；政策制定者可以生产较少的有害垃圾，而非禁止工业生产过程中使用化学物品。

故
C、D是正确的，A选项与作者的态度最不匹配。

4. The writer of the text thinks that .
A. governments should have forbidden the production of waste chemicals
B. mixed waste chemicals can always be stored without endangering people
C. industries must not produce waste chemicals which harm people so much
D. everyone can do something to help solve the problem of waste chemicals
答案解析：答案为D。

本题考查作者的观点态度。

结合上题分析，作者认为应该限制和减少有害化学物的生产，而不是A选项的禁止，也不是C选项的不允许生产，故A、C不正
确；B选项在文章中未提及， always 一词也使得该选项太绝对，故不选。

只有D选项才是作者的观点：人人都可以帮助解决有害化学物的问题。

故答案为D。

【2013·潍坊5月模拟】
When you tidy your messy bedroom，it gets a lot easier to find things.Dreams may work the same way for a messy brain，helping you learn by organizing memories and ideas.
To test how much dreams can help learning，Robert Stickgold had some students play a shape­fitting game called Tetris (俄罗斯方块) for a few hours and then go to sleep.Soon they were dreaming of falling Tetris shapes.Interestingly，the worst Tetris players had the most Tetris dreams and improved their game the most.Similar tests have shown the same results for all kinds of skills.
As we dream，many important tasks are getting done.The brain decides what to keep and what to forget.It is connecting new experiences to older learning.In fact，the brain is learning all night long.
Another important task of dreams may be to help us deal with emotions (情绪)．At night，emotions are in t he driver’s seat.People who have had an upsetting experience often dream about it afterward.Often the dream event changes somehow—another way the brain tries to make the memory less upset.So if your best friend moves away，you might dream that you’re the one who’s moving.In fact，dreams have a proven power to improve mood，and people who dream about what’s bothering them usually feel better sooner than those who don’t.
Everybody dreams for a couple of hours every night—in the course of your life，you’ll spend about 25 years asleep and 6 years dreaming.There’s probably no single answer to the question why we dream，but there doesn’t have to be.One dream might help you remember your math facts，while another might lead to a new invention，or give you a fun，cr azy story to tell your friends.It’s all in a night’s work for our busy，mysterious brains.
1．Robert Stickgold’s test shows that________.
A．games are useful for memory
B．dreams can help improve skills
C．players stop learning in dreams
D．tasks can only be settled through dreams
2．We can learn from Paragraph 4 that________.
A．dreams can get rid of sufferings
B．only drivers can deal with emotions
C．one may be less upset after a dream
D．dreams can copy what one experienced
3．Which of the following does the author probably agree with?
A．Dreaming does harm to one’s mood.
B．Dreaming affects the quality of sleep.
C．It’s hard to find out the secrets of dreaming.
D．It’s not so important to know the cause of dreaming.
4．What does the text focus on?
A．Dreams and memories. B．Dreams and emotions.
C．The benefits of dreams. D．The patterns of dreams.
5．In which part of a magazine can this text be found?
A．Entertainment. B．Tourism.
C．Science. D．Advertisement.

Recently，there has been an activity of “doing your bit for an energy­saving society”in our school.Our schoolmates are highly concerned about the increasing lack of energy and provide their own suggestions.
Some students suggest that we shouldn't waste any food or paper，though they appear very easy to get.Meanwhile，some other students think it advisable to refuse to use disposable chopsticks and plastic bags.Besides，it is also strongly recommended that those used textbooks as well as reference books of graduates，which are still in good condition，not be thrown but recycled.
Actually，there are still quite a lot that we can easily do：try to take buses
or ride bicycles instead of driving cars，etc.All of these will definitely help to build an energy­saving society.。
