Passage1
Governments must take an active part in encouraging people to preserve the environment．One of the best ways everyone can become involved is through recycling．
Recycling is a safe，less costly solution to the problem of waste disposal．It reduces the amount of solid waste taken to landfills and thereby decreases the amount of water and air pollution．
One of the most important reasons for recycling is to preserve natural resources．Recycled materials can be substituted for natural materials ones that come directly from the earth and would reduce such problems as deforestation．
Production of natural materials also uses more fossil fuels and other resources that could be saved by recycling．
Contrary to popular belief，recycling also saves governments and citizens money．For example，businesses and individuals can reduce their waste disposal costs by more than 70 percent by using a recycling program．Also，individuals or communities receive money from selling recyclables to recycling companies．So businesses are not only saving money，they are earning money as well．
Furthermore，production using recycled materials is usually cheaper for a company and reduces the cost of pollution control．In addition，the recycling industry provides employment for hundreds for thousands of people．
In spite of all these benefits，however，recycling is quite limited．A greater effort must be put forth to promote recycling．Governments must become environmentally responsible and act quickly to set recycling goals and implement a recycling program．
1.All of the following are benefits of recycling EXCEPT _______．
A.preserving natural resources
B.getting everyone involved
C.saving money
D.creating jobs
2.It can be inferred from the passage that many people believe recycling
A.costs money
B.saves money
C.produces profit
D.provides employment
3.What is the purpose of the passage？
A.To tell people that recycling preserves natural resources.
B.To discuss the benefits of recycling
C.To suggest promoting recycling
D.To point out that recycling is still quite limited. Passage 2
We often hear people talking about a generation gap.The name is new,but the idea is old.Young people and their parents don’t understand each other.The world keeps changing.It has always kept changing.During the second century after Christ a wise man said:“Bury me on my face because in a little while everything will be turned upside down.”
There has always been a gap between generations,but more people talk
about it now.Old Mr.Ellis thinks he understands what has happened:
“When I was a boy,I thought the world was a beautiful place.My life was” very pleasant.But when I was older.l learned about people who were treated badly,people who didn’t have enough to eat.I wanted to help them,and I married a girl who wanted to help them,too.We went to meetings and talked a lot,but it didn’t seem to make much difference."
“Our children grew up in a world at war.They didn’t know when the fighting would stop.They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys.They didn’t want to think about the future.They thought nothing could be done about it.”
“Now I have grandchildren,and they have their own ideas.They are trying to make the world better.They are trying to help other people.They’re making people listen to them．I am proud of their generation．”
4.The wise man mentioned in the passage told people to bury him on his face so that when everything is turned upside down he will ______ ．
A.lie on his stomach
B.lie on his back
C.stand quietly
D.sit in peace.
5.Which generation did NOT want to do anything to make the world a better one？
A.Mr．Ellis’generation
B.his children’s generation
C.his grandchildren’s generation
D.none of the above
6.Which generation is/was more efficient in making the world better one？
A.Mr．Ellis’generation
B.His children’s generation
C.His grandchildren’s generation
D.None of the above 完型填空
