    What do people do with their old, out-of-date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know what to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown out with the rubbish.　　
    Some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products. Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers.　　
    In some countries, laws are being passed, too. Computer companies will have to collect and recycle their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade（升级）.　　
    Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers.　　
    The computers then go to schools, charities and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else’s useful things—and cut down on waste, too.　　
    小题1: How do people usually deal with their old computers?　　
    A. They stop using them. B. They give them to others.   C. They fix them up.　　
    小题2: What do some computer companies do to bring down the number of old computers?　　
    A. They don’t do anything about them.　　
    B. They take back some old ones.       　　
    C. They donate them to some charities.　　
    小题3:According to some countries’ laws, what must computer companies do?　　
    A. Collect and recycle most of computer waste. 　　
    B. Repair and upgrade old computers.      　　
    C. Make much cheaper computers.　　
    小题4: What may people who can’t afford computers think of the used computers?　　
    A. Expensive.        B. Useful.         C. Out-of -date.　　
    小题5: What is the passage about?

    B. Selling old computers.              　　
    C. Recycling old computers.

    When the Audet family turns on the lights at Blue Farm, they are using electricity that comes from cows—cow manure (粪肥), to be specific.
    Cows produce a lot of wastes. One cow can create 30 gallons of wastes each day. Now imagine the output of over 1,000 cows at Blue Farm. That’s really a big amount.
    When farmers clean their barns, they put the wastes in a big heap, and spread some of them on their fields for fertilizer(肥料). But now places like Blue Spruce Farm have a new way of using cow wastes. They use them to produce electricity.
    Here’s how it works: A big machine moves back and forth cleaning the barn floor. “The cows aren’t bothered,” says Marie Audet. “They are animals of habit; they get used to it, and just lift one foot and then another to let it go by.”
    The machine pushes the manure into a big 600-gallon tank like a small swimming pool. The tank is called a digester (化粪池) because what happens there is just like what happens inside a cow: Bacteria(细菌) get to work and continue to digest the manure.
    Methane gas (甲烷、沼气)in the atmosphere is known as a “greenhouse” gas because it keeps heat just like a greenhouse does, causing our planet to warm up. That’s an environmental concern. But the digester has a good result. Its gas is kept and used to power electric generators (发电机).
    At Blue Farm, the generators make enough electricity to power 400 homes. The Audet family sells the extra electricity they can’t use themselves.
    小题1:We learn from the text that the Audet family is using cow wastes to ______.
    A．make electricity B．produce fertilizerC．build their farm D．feed the cows
    小题2:How are the cow wastes collected into the digester at Blue Farm?
    A．Marie Audet does the workB．The job is done by machine
    C．The cows lift the cow wastesD．Bacteria get to work on them
    小题3: According to the passage, which of the following is changed into electricity?
    A．The power of moving water. B．The heat of burning coal.
    C．The power of sunlight.D．The heat of the methane gas
    小题4:The new way of using cow wastes at Blue Farm might be best described as ______.
    A．reducingB．savingC．recyclingD．changing
    小题5: What is the main purpose for writing the passage?
    A．To introduce a new way of making electricityB．To explain how a new energy works better
    C．To show a new rebuilding plan for a big farmD．To explain the reasons for green house effect

    American schools are quite different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term, students must select their courses and teachers first. While in China students usually have no chances to select their courses and teachers.

    Selecting is very important for your grades in America. So at the first term, don’t select too many courses, 74.or you’ll feel very nervous and it may influence your study. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time arranging, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called “killer” by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him. Because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades.
    There is another thing after you select the course and the teacher. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each copy is about $30～50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library. You must get enough ready before class. In class, discussing is very important. 75. 老师鼓励你提出问题或展示你自己的观点。They don’t usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like. They don’t give you much homework to do. You can learn some knowledge and do exercises by yourself. So in American schools, you must do almost all things yourself.
    根据文章内容，补全71、72句中所缺单词、短语或句子。
    小题1: At the beginning of the new term, American students have to ask for some teaching plans and get their textbooks ready besides ____________________.
    小题2: The teacher____________________will always leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades.
    小题3: 根据文章内容回答问题。
    Why do many students in America buy used textbooks ?
    小题4: 请将文中黑体字译成汉语。
    小题5: 请将划线句子译成英语。

    阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）
    　　We need to be responsible for our environment. Being a frugal consumer(节俭的消费者) is one way to help. But, what exactly does that mean?
    　　Use It Up
    　　You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze that last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. Use the last little piece of soap. Don't throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.
    　　Wear It Out
    　　You do not always need to have new things. Suppose your sneakers have broken laces, but they still fit you. Repair them and wear them longer. You don't have the latest iPhone until the old one doesn't work anymore. Then you can get a new one. Think twice before replacing something that still works.
    　　Make It Do
    　　When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to take its place. Suppose you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich. You are out of butter. Have a cheese sandwich instead so that you can use all of the cheese. Learn to fix broken toys instead of just throwing them away. With a little thought, you can make something do, instead of buying something new.
    　　Do Without
    　　Think about all those things that you would like to have. Do you really need them? How long will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up your world's resources(资源). And, getting rid of the things we don't want any more takes up even more resources and space.
    　小题1:Do we need to be responsible for our environment?
    　小题2: How do we deal with the last little piece of soap?
    　小题3:When do we need to get a new iPhone?
    　小题4: What should we do when something we want is not on hand？
    小题5:What does the writer want to tell us?

    It is said that another acre of the world’s forest will be destroyed forever. Why is this happening? There are two reasons — land and wood. In many countries the trees have been cut down because the land was needed for animals or crops. In other parts of the world the trees are cut down because their wood is wanted. This wood is used by local people for firewood or it is used for building. But many people don’t know that in most places the trees won’t be replaced. The soil in the forests is very thin, but it is protected by the trees. When the trees are cut down, the soil is washed away by the rain or blown away by the wind. Soon nothing can be grown on it. The  forest becomes a desert. Then more land will be needed, and more trees will be cut down.
    When the forest is destroyed, it isn’t only the trees that are lost — the homes of millions of animals and plants are destroyed, too. All kinds of animals are in danger — fish，reptiles, birds, mammals, insects, and shellfish — as well as thousands of plants.
    Who is to blame for this? The answer is simple: all of us. There are just too many people in the world. The world’s population is now six billion. Of course, it’s very easy to blame the local people. We don’t cut down trees. They do. But the products are bought by people like you and me — wood houses, beds, tables, chairs, paper… Why are the forests being destroyed? Just look around. You are probably using it right now.
    小题1:People cut down large areas of trees in order to _________.
    A．grow cropsB．keep animalsC．build housesD．get land and wood
    小题2: In most places, __________after trees are cut down.
    A．new trees can grow betterB．forests will become deserts
    C．most animals can live thereD．people build new house there
    小题3: According to the passage, we should  _________________ to protect the forest.
    A．use fewer wood productsB．plant more trees
    C．blame the local peopleD．protect the soil

        Why do you think people who live in some hot countries eat very spicy(辛辣的)food? Is it because the spices make the food taste better? Is it just because their parents and grandparents and great-grandparents liked hot food，or is there some connection between spices and healthy food?
    Researchers from Cornell University think that it is because spice plants have some important chemicals(化学物质)．These chemicals can kill bacteria(细菌)which spoil food．
    “Most common spices can kill 75 to 100 percent of the bacteria in food，”explains one of the scientists．The bacteria grow more easily and spoil food more quickly at higher temperatures．For this reason，it is more difficult to keep food from spoiling in hot climates，
    Do you like your food spicy? Your answer probably tells something about the country you come from．If you like spicy food，it is possible that hundreds of years ago，when there were no fridges，people in your country started using spices to keep the food from spoiling．The traditional spicy dishes helped those people to live longer，healthier lives．Today，in a time of fridges，the spices just make the food taste good．
    小题1:The chemicals in spices keep food from spoiling by_________．
