When we finish reading a newspaper, the paper will become waste. When TV sets or computers are broken, they will become electronic waste.Plastic bags are often used in our everyday life. The number of used plastic bags is increasing day by day. We like to use plastic bags because they are convenient. When we get home, we throw the plastics away. These are called “white pollution” as most plastics are white. Rubber is also common in our daily life. Many of our products are made of rubber, just like the tyres(轮胎) and the bottom part of our shoes. It’s true that rubber plays an important role in our life. However, it also brings us some trouble when it has been used for a long time. The old rubber pollutes the environment very badly because it can’t break down easily in nature—it will stay unchanged for a long time. This is really a big problem all over the world.Everyone should play a part in saving our world. For example, when we go shopping, we can bring cloth bags instead of plastic ones. And we should do something to recycle rubber. Our small actions can make a difference and lead to a better future.1.Which of the following things probably becomes electronic waste?

They joked that every time they took out their garbage, the staff(工作人员) standing by the bins would ask “What kind of garbage are you?”Starting on May 1, Beijing joined many Chinese cities by introducing a new garbage-sorting policy, People’s Daily reported. Residents should sort their garbage into four groups: kitchen, recyclable, hazardous(有害的) and other waste.These groups are represented(代表) by four different colors of trash bins—green, blue, red and grey. Those who fail to sort their trash correctly may face fines of up to 200 yuan, Xinhua reported.The way Beijing sorts its trash sounds different from others like Shanghai and Qingdao. These cities use four different groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry. Although their names aredifferent, the groups are actually the same. Wet garbage in Shanghai is, in fact, kitchen garbage. And dry garbage is the same as other waste, China Daily reported.To help residents sort their trash correctly, the Beijing government is offering online guidelines. If people don’t know how to throw away garbage, they can search for it on the WeChat account Guanchenglish(管城理事) to find out. By searching a key word or taking a photo, people can immediately find out which group their waste belongs to.1.What do we know from this story?

In 2008, the United Nations recognized(确立) June 8 as World Oceans Day. It’s a day to think about the important role that the oceans play in our lives, the dangers that our oceans are facing and the action we can take to protect them.The ocean is home to the most of plants and animals on Earth. Plants in the sea provide us with 70 percent of O2 we breathe. The ocean controls our climate(气候), providing heat in winter and cool air in summer. It also provides us with food and medicine.

Common sources of fur include foxes，rabbits and raccoons (浣熊). The clothes made of animal fur are considered to be more luxurious (奢侈的) than others and they're very expensive.One full-length fur coat is made of the fur of sixty rabbits.

Many of them have hurt their backs and necks because of the heavy school bags.But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight(重量).Scott Bautch, a back doctor, said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10%. But it is also important that older children don't stay with over 15%, because their bodies are still growing. "Children are losing their balance(平衡) and falling down with their school bags," he said.Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books they will be reading that night.

Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very nature for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep touch with the other sex(性别) in public instead of in secret.Don‟t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.Don‟t fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a gree n apple that can‟t be eaten. An apple won‟t taste sweet until it is full ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love. ( )61.

It was made by a Chinese named Cai Lun.For over 500 years paper was made only in China. People in Japan learned of paper around the year 600. As years went by, people in other places began to make paper.The lead（铅）pencil is not made of lead. It is made of graphite（石墨）. People found graphite in 1564. They thought it was a kind of lead. Today we still call pencils “lead pencils”. The first pencils were made by putting strings（线）around sticks of graphite.The first wooden pencils were made by Kasper Faber in Germany in 1761.Erasers（橡皮）like those we use today were first made in France by a man named Magellan in 1752.

九年级社会问题英语阅读理解25题

九年级社会问题英语阅读理解25题1<背景文章>Poverty is a global issue that affects millions of people around the world. In many developing countries, a large proportion of the population lives below the poverty line. For example, in some African and Asian countries, people struggle to meet their basic needs such as food, shelter, and clean water.There are several main causes of poverty. One of the significant factors is the lack of education. Without proper education, people have limited job opportunities and are more likely to be trapped in low - paying jobs or unemployment. Another cause is the unequal distribution of resources. Some regions are rich in natural resources, but due to political instability, corruption, or unfair economic systems, the benefits of these resources do not reach the ordinary people.The impact of poverty on society and individuals is profound. At the individual level, poor people often suffer from malnutrition, which can lead to various health problems. They may also lack access to quality healthcare, education, and other essential services. In society, poverty can lead to high crime rates as some people may turn to illegal activities to survive. It can also widen the gap between the rich and the poor, causing social unrest.To solve poverty, there are some possible measures. International cooperation is crucial. Developed countries can provide financial aid, technical support, and share their experience in economic development with developing countries. At the national level, governments should invest more in education and healthcare, and create more job opportunities through promoting economic development. Also, promoting gender equality can also play an important role in reducing poverty as women are often disproportionately affected by poverty.1. <问题1>What is one of the main causes of poverty according to the passage?A. Too much natural resources.B. Lack of education.C. High crime rates.D. Excessive international cooperation.答案：B。

初三社会观察英语阅读理解20题

初三社会观察英语阅读理解20题1<背景文章>In modern society, urban traffic congestion has become an increasingly serious problem. There are multiple reasons for this phenomenon. Firstly, the number of vehicles is constantly increasing. With the improvement of people's living standards, more and more families can afford private cars. As a result, the roads are filled with a large number of cars, especially during rush hours. Secondly, the road planning in some cities is not reasonable. Some old cities were not designed to accommodate such a large number of vehicles at the beginning of their construction. Narrow roads and insufficient intersections often lead to traffic jams.The impact of traffic congestion is far - reaching. On one hand, it causes serious environmental pollution. Vehicles stuck in traffic for a long time keep emitting exhaust gases, which contain a lot of harmful substances such as carbon monoxide and particulate matter. These pollutants not only damage the air quality but also pose a threat to people's health. On the other hand, traffic congestion also wastes people's precious time. People may be late for work, school or important appointments because of being stuck in traffic, which reduces work efficiency and affects the normal operation of life.To solve this problem, several measures can be taken. One important measure is to develop public transportation. By improving the convenience and comfort of public transportation, more people can be attracted to choose buses, subways or light rails. For example, increasing the number of bus routes, improving the frequency of subways, and upgrading the facilities in public transportation vehicles. Another measure is to establish an intelligent transportation system. Through the use of advanced technologies such as traffic monitoring cameras and intelligent traffic signal control, traffic flow can be better regulated, and the efficiency of road use can be improved.1. <问题1>What is the main reason for urban traffic congestion according to the article?A. People like driving too much.B. The increase in the number of vehicles and unreasonable road planning.C. There are too many traffic lights.D. Public transportation is not developed enough.答案：B。

The tiger mother is pretty strict with her daughter and the little girl is not allowed to watch TV or play computer games.

However, the cat father has an opposite view of how to raise their child. He gives her daughter more independence and doesn‟t make many rules for her.

For example, they often drive their cars 120 to 160 kilometres away just to have dinner with a friend or even fly to London or Paris just to watch a football match. In some states only one person in five lives in a place for more than five years. One may be born in one city, and go to school in another. He may finish his middle school in two or three cities, and then go to college far across the country. When he begins to work, he may possibly move from job to job. Moving from one job to another, which is called “job-hopping”, can be seen in many places in the United States.Job-hopping does good to workers because every change of a job gives them a chance to get better pay.

It can help them to get the latest news and communicate with friends. But I think I should read more books besides the textbooks, the more, the better. It can open my eyes and improve my language skills. Of course, it also canhelp me to get good grades. Do you know how to read more and learn more? Here are some tips for you.◆ Clear your purpose for readingBefore you start reading, ask yourself why you are reading this book. Most people read for two main reasons, pleasure or knowledge. Clearing about your reading purpose can not only help you choose the books you really need to read, but also remind you why reading the book is important to you, so you will keep reading and complete the book faster.◆ Read only what you are interested inNo matter what you are reading, it is important to enjoy what you read. Your friends may tell you the books they love, but those books might not necessarily be the ones you enjoy.◆Give up books that you don‟t enjoyYou may have chosen books that you are interested in, and they are right to your purpose. But while you are reading them, there may still be some books that you don‟t enjoy reading. Whenever you realize that you aren‟t enjoying the book you are reading, give it up. Remember reading shouldn‟t be a chore.◆ Set a reading goalIt is interesting that I read the books borrowed from libraries faster than those I bought. The reason is the books I bought don‟t have a due date! I don‟t need to return those books. Having a reading goal helps you work out how much reading you need to do in a week or even a day. Before you read each book, ask yourself what time you need to complete this book by.根据短文内容，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出正确选项，并将所选答案涂到答题卡的相应位置上。

外研版中考英语阅读理解专题复习：社会现象类(一)DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in the UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programmes show people how to DIY.English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK——“As Englishman’s home is his castle”. A number of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their homes, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experience with their friends. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn(经济萎缩) at present, many people can not afford a big house. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.DIY can be difficult. There is a big market for DIY furniture which people need to get together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best intentions(意图). Many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional(专业的) worker. Unluckily, many people don’t care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.So DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew(贪多嚼不烂).

Although the 64-page handbook contains suggestions for Chinese tourists when traveling at home, the main purpose is to improve the poor reputation（声誉）of Chinese tourists abroad.In 2013, more than 83 million Chinese people traveled overseas, up 18 percent from the year 2012, according to the China Tourism Academy. But even as they travel farther, the Chinese tourists continue to take bad habits with them. From damaging ancient Egyptian temples to letting children defecate（排便）in the middle of airports, Chinese tourists have earned a bad fame. Chinese Vice-Premier Wang Yang even stressed the need for Chinese tourists to behave better while traveling overseas so as to protect China's image abroad.Now with the latest "guidebook", Chinese travelers should have no excuse for rude behavior. According to the guidelines, when using the restroom, Chinese tourists are asked not to forget to flush the toilet after using it.The guidelines also remind tourists of not fighting with others when they want to take pictures at tourist attractions. When flying, the guidelines advise travelers not to take life vests（救生衣）away from airplanes.Chinese tourists are also encouraged to be respectful of local customs wherever they travel. In t he United Kingdom, for example, it is not polite to ask people "Where are you going?" or"Have you eaten?", the handbook says.Nevertheless, with a very short history of traveling overseas, it is not surprising that many Chinese tourists behave badly on their foreign trips. We should give them time to change.（）1. What's the main purpose of the new guideline?A. To improve the Chinese tourists' behavior abroad.B. To guide the Chinese tourists how to travel farther.C. To introduce the famous places of interest all over the world.D. To give suggestions to Chinese tourists when traveling at home.（）2. How many people traveled abroad in 2012?A. About 83 million.B. About 18 million.C. About 98 million.D. About 70 million.（）3. Which of the following behavior is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Damaging ancient Egyptian temples.B. Taking life vests away from airplanes.C. Fighting with others when taking pictures.D. Taking photos in areas marked "No photos".（）4. What are Chinese tourists encouraged to do?A. Respect local customs wherever they travel.B. Try to be polite both at home and abroad.C. Ask questions when they meet with difficulty.D. Take the guidebook with them when traveling abroad.答案：1A 2D 3D 4A（三）Baltimore, MarylandSeptember, 16th, 2014Dear Editor,Can’t your newspaper do something about the habit if hitchhiking?On a recent car trip I counted at least 50 people standing beside the road, asking for rides.
