26、   Before you throw your trash into the nearest can, think for a moment. Not all your garbage can be dumped into one trashcan. It needs to be sorted out with different things going into different bins. Waste classification, a practice that has long been normal in developed countries like Japan, is the new challenge for many Chinese urban residents. However, though initially you might need to rack your brains to figure out which trash goes into which can, in the long run, the result is well worth the effort.

Landfills, sites where waste is buried and covered over with soil, are a major method of disposing of residential waste in China. However, considering the environmental disaster associated with burying waste, there is a pressing need to reduce the amount of waste that goes into a landfill. Classification, sorting waste into different categories such as harmful waste, recyclables and kitchen waste, is a key solution.

Currently, 46 cities across China, are carrying out a program that aims to put in place a classification-based garbage disposal system by the end of 2020. It is hoped that this will reduce the quantity of waste that ends up in landfills by a large degree. Shanghai came into the media focus in early July after it carried out compulsory garbage sorting rules that those who fail to dispose of garbage properly should be fined. Beijing is reviewing its regulations to follow in Shanghai’s footsteps. The new rules may cause short-term inconvenience but they are meant to help residents follow the concept of garbage classification for the common good.

As the programs show, residents can gradually develop this habit with their growing consciousness and the help of advanced technology. In future, this practice should be adopted across China, in urban cities and rural areas alike. With public involvement, China’s garbage sorting program will contribute not only to the nation’s sustainable (可持续的) development but also to making the planet a better place to live in.

【1】What is the most probable reason for classifying waste？

A.No site for burying waste. B.People’s habit.

C.Economic cost. D.Environmental pollution.

【2】What is the purpose of the program？

A.To practise waste classification. B.To protect environment.

C.To save oil for farming. D.To reduce the quantity of waste.

【3】What can be a suitable title for the text？

A.A program adopted across China B.Shanghai carried out new disposal rules

C.Doing the best with waste D.Protecting environment is necessary

27、Beijing Opera, as one of Chinese traditional opera forms, is regarded as the national opera of China and well received all over the world.

Beijing Opera arose in the late 18th century with a history of more than 200 years whose origin can date back to some old local operas, especially the Anhui Opera. It became fully developed and recognized by the mid-19th century. Now it's the biggest kind of opera in China, whose popularity spread all over the country, becoming the most popular dramatic (戏剧的) form on Chinese stage.

There are four basic methods employed in a Beijing Opera performance: chang, nian, zuo, da. Generally speaking, chang means singing, and nian recitation (背诵) and oral communication, while zuo means the facial and body expressions and acting and da is Chinese Kungfu. Beijing Opera also has four main types of performers namely Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou. Sheng and Dan mean the main roles in the opera. The painted face, in Chinese called 'jing', is a name for the role of the man that has some special characteristic or appearance. Chou is easily understood from the role's name as a clown with an ugly appearance, who is to provide light relief and comedy.

In recent years, Beijing Opera has tried to make some changes, including improving the performance quality. Widely spreading all over China with great influence, Beijing Opera contains the spirit of Chinese national culture, but the shortage of funding has become a big problem as the form enters the 21st century. There is no doubt that it is a treasure of Chinese culture!

28、Americans are now allowed to get a COVID-19 vaccine (疫苗). But the process in America is not going as smoothly as some had hoped. Many people are still facing a wait for their first shot. Moreover, the vaccines aren't available to kids under 16 yet. That's because scientists have only tested if the vaccine works in adults.

The good news is that there are two companies, Moderna and Pfizer, making COVID-19 vaccines. They are now running clinical trials (临床实验)to test their vaccines in teens and kids. Volunteers are given a treatment plan and then evaluated after.

Clinical trials are designed with safety in mind and usually done in adults first. They work like this: volunteers get placed into one of two groups. One group receives the vaccine. The other group gets a placebo. This is a shot given in the same way as the vaccine but with no effect. Scientists can compare the effects of the real vaccine against the placebo to see if the vaccine works. Researchers want to know everything that a person experiences when they get the shot, so they can detect any harmful effects. If anything did happen, the trial would stop immediately.

Some teens are eager to volunteer because they want to help people. Maybe you're the right age to be part of a clinical trial for the COVID-19 vaccine. Why not volunteer For A Vaccine Trial? Interested kids should read about the trials because every trial has risks. They should talk to their doctor and weigh the benefits and risks. Every vaccine has rare side effects in a few patients.

If you want to participate in a trial, you can try to sign up online by just clicking here, clinical trials gov. which lists every clinical trial in the US, including COVID-19 vaccine trials.

D．Because the effectiveness of the vaccine for kids hasn't been tested .

【2】How do the clinical trials work?

A．One group receives the vaccine and the other group gets a substance to comfort patients.

B．One group receives the vaccine and the other group gets a pill to treat patients.

C．One group receives the vaccine and the other group gets a prize to award patients.

D．One group receives the vaccine and the other group gets a way to cure patients.

【3】What's the purpose of this article?

A．To tell American adults they can get a COVID-19 vaccine.

B．To inform that American children can't get a COVID-19 vaccine.

C．To give information about clinical trials of vaccines in teens and kids.

29、   Technology offers conveniences such as opening the garage door from your car or changing the television station without touching the TV.

Now one American company is offering its employees a new convenience: a microchip implanted in their hands. Employees who have these chips can do all kinds of things just by waving their hands. Three Square Market is offering to implant microchips in all of their employees for free. Each chip costs $300 and Three Square Market will pay for the chip. Employees can volunteer to have the chips implanted in their hands. About 50 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so. The president of the company, his wife and their children are also getting chips implanted in their hands.

The chip is about the size of a grain of rice. Implanting the chip only takes about a second and is said to hurt only very briefly. The chips go under the skin between the thumb and forefinger. With a chip in the hand, a person can enter the office building, buy food, sign into computers and more, simply by waving that hand near a scanner. The chips will be also used to identify employees. Employees who want convenience, but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin, can wear a wristband (腕带) or a ring with a chip instead. They can perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip.

Three Square Market is the first company in the United Slates to offer to implant chips in its employees. Epicenter, a company in Sweden, has been implanting chips in its employees for a while.

Three Square Market says the chip cannot track the employees. The company says scanners can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them. “The chips protect against identity theft, similar to credit cards.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the chips back in 2004, so they should be safe for humans, according to the company.

In the future, people with the chips may be able to do more with them, even outside the office. Todd Westby is Chief Executive Officer of Three Square Market. He says, “Eventually, this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities, etc.”

【1】What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A.The substitutes of the chips.

B.The potential risks of implanting the chips.

C.The places to implant the chips.

D.The advantages of the chips.

【2】What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A.the hands B.the scanners

C.the employees D.the credit cards

【3】We can infer that ________.

B.the price of the chips is reasonable

The Safe (保险箱)

----- A Rich Man Finds the Best Way to be Truly Rich

Once upon a time, a rich man hired a great mathematician (数学家) to find him a way to make him more money. The rich man was so g【1】 that he even built a giant safe and his dream was to fill it with gold and jewels.

The mathematician worked on the problem for months. One night he said to the rich man “I’ve done it! My idea is perfect! You’ll be wealthy b【2】 your wildest dreams.” The rich man was d【3】 to hear this. Before he left on a long journey, he promised the mathematician double pay to run his business for him.

When the rich man returned, he found that all of his wealth was gone. Very angry, he asked the mathematician to explain. The mathematician told him he’d g【4】 everything away to people in the neighborhood.

The mathematician said “There is a limit to how much wealth one can get by himself. Then I realized that many people could help us a【5】 our goal. By helping o【6】, you could gain the most!”

Disappointed, the rich man went away. As he was walking, every neighbor he met was so thankful to him that they o【7】 him anything he needed.

Over the next few weeks, the man saw the mathematician’s idea really w【8】. He was received with great honor w【9】 he went. Everyone did all they could to help him.

He no longer dreamed of keeping his wealth in a safe. I 【10】 he shared it with hundreds of friends. He was now truly rich.
