C
Every day there is less and less space on Earth for rubbish. Yet every day we make more and more rubbish. What can we do? We can recycle some of our rubbish. Recycling means that the rubbish will be made into something that can be used again.
毕业学校_____________ 姓名________________ 考生号________________ ________________ ___________
Recycling helps Earth. And it saves space in rubbish dumps. Half of everything that we put into landfills could be recycled instead. In fact, most things made of paper, metal, glass and plastic can be recycled.
Paper can be broken into small pieces and made into new paper. Steel and aluminum cans(金属罐) can be melted down(熔化) and made into new cans. The same is true of glass bottles. This can be done over and over again. Recycling doesn't take as much energy as making these things the first time. So we can use less of Earth's fuel resources.
Plastic can be melted down, too. Then it can be formed into park benches, playgrounds and so on. Some people call plastic the "wood" of the future. Things made of plastic will last about 400 years - even if they stay outside in the weather. No wood can do that!

27. The underlined word "landfills" in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A. bench factories
B. places for rubbish
C. green mountains
D. recycling centres
28. According to the passage, what happens last to the can?
A. The can is put into a recycling bin.
B. The can is melted down and reused.
C. A steel can gets filled with corn.
D. A person uses the corn in the can.
29. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Cans should be melted down.
B. Old newspapers can be reused.
C. We can build benches that last 400 years.
D. We should recycle everything that we can.
D
Athletics vs. Gardening
The students of Southside School were asked to give their opinions about whether the school should run an athletic program or start a vegetable garden.

30. Which of these points do Liz and Sam both make?
A. Kids should take exercise.
B. Kids should eat vegetables.
C. Kids should try to win more.
D. Kids should be outside more.
31. What is one reason Liz gives for saying "a garden is a really bad idea"?
A. Some students don't like getting dirty.
B. Some students don't enjoy being outside.
C. Some students already know how to garden.
D. Some students may have no chance to garden.
32. Why does Sam say, "And think about it: what helps you to be good at sport?"
A. To change the subject.
B. To introduce his next reason.
C. To support Liz's idea.
D. To find an answer to the question.

It doesn't matter whether or not you make mistakes. What matters most is to correct and learn from them. In this way, others will understand you. Then you will feel much better.
I hope my experience can help you out.
