二、阅读理解

1. Taking away a city's rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use. If we kept these things, we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.

In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside the city to a dump. Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage(污水,排水)system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places.

To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you'd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.

In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything except the metal.Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus(腐殖质), which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help make them grow.

(1)、You can most probably read this kind of passage in a telephone book. B A:T B:F

(2)、The main idea of the passage is to tell people to take useful things out of rubbish. B A:T B:F

(4)、According to the passage, the food parts of rubbish can be used again to feed plants. A A:T B:F

2、 After having lived for over twenty years in the same district, Albert Hall was forced to move to a new neighborhood. He surprised his landlord by telling him that he was leaving because he could not afford to buy any more chocolate.

It all began a year ago when Albert returned home one evening and found a large dog in front of his gate. He was very fond of animals and as he happened to have a small piece of chocolate in his pocket, he gave it to the dog. The next day, the dog was there again. It held up its paws and received another piece of chocolate as a reward. Albert called his new friend \"Bingo\". He never found out the dog's real name, nor who his owner was. However, Bingo appeared regularly every afternoon and it was quite clear that he preferred chocolate to bones. He soon grew dissatisfied with small pieces of chocolate and demanded a large bar a day. If at any time Albert neglected his duty, Bingo got very angry and refused to let him open the gate. Albert was now at Bingo's mercy and had to bribe him to get into his own house! He spent such a large part of his weekly wages to keep Bingo supplied with that in the end he had to move somewhere else.

3、 Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and

self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?

It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person's conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.

Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing \"the right thing.\" Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, \"You're just saying that to make me feel good. I know it's not true.\" It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.

Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.

Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let's not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.

(11)、 What does the author try to prove by citing \"what kind of impression am I making?\" (Para. 1)______B____

B:People's shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions. C:It's natural that shy people don't believe other's compliments. D:Shy people think they are different from others.

(12)、According to the writer, self-awareness is ______A____. A:a good quality

B:the cause of unhappiness C:harmful to people D:a weak point of shy people

(13)、That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ______D_____. A:good

B:unreal C:very reasonable D:harmful

(14)、Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? ____C_____ A:Shyness helps us to develop our potential B:Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better C:Shyness can block our chances for a rich life D:Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem

(15)、It can be inferred from the passage that shy people _____B___. A:should find more of their weakness

B:should understand themselves in the right way C:had better ignore their weakness

D:can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteem
