Multiple Choice (Reading Comprehension)
Directions:
After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished
statements. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C
and D. You should make the correct choice. (10
points)
Task 1
The
United States is full of automobiles. There are still many families without
cars, but some families have two or even more. However, cars are used for more
than pleasure. They are a necessary part of life.
Cars are
used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have
no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of
the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to
drive into the city in order to get supplies.
Sometimes
small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are
provided only when children live more than a mile from the school. When the
children are too young to walk that far, their mothers take turn driving them
to school. One mother drives on Monday, taking her own children and the
neighbors' children as well. Another mother drives on Tuesday, another on
Wednesday, and so on. This is called forming a car pool. Men also form car
pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all
work.
More car
pools should be formed in order to put fewer automobiles on the road and to use
less gasoline. Parking is a great problem, and so is the traffic in and around
cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about
the use of cars.
|
21. |
Which
is NOT true according to the passage? |
|
A. Each American family has got at least one
car. B. Some American families have got more than
one car. C. Cars are very common in the United States. D.
Americans do not use cars for pleasure only. |
|
22. |
According
to the passage, children must be taken to school by car when ________. |
|
A. their homes are over one mile away from
their school B. there are no school buses available and the
school is too far away for the children to go to on foot C. there are a number of children in the
neighborhood and their families have their own cars D. the
children are too young to walk |
|
23. |
Which
people are forming a car pool? |
|
A. Three or four people who drive in turns to
the office or the factory where they all work. B. A woman who takes her own children and her
neighbors' children to school by car. C. Children who drive to school in turns. D.
Parents who drive their own children to school in turns. |
|
24. |
What
does the author think of forming car pools? |
|
A. It is a good practice. B. It is good only for mothers taking children
to school. C. It will cause parking problems. D. It helps cut down the number of cars
produced each year. |
|
25. |

|
A. There is a shortage of gasoline for a car. B. There are too many cars in the streets and
on the roads. C. There are not enough cars to go around. D. Some families still do not have their own
cars. |
Task 2
Did you know that the empty plastic soft drink
bottles you throw away every day can be turned into carpet or automobile parts,
that used glass bottles and aluminum cans (铝罐头盒) can be turned into new ones,
and that yesterday's newspaper can be turned into tomorrow's?
It all happens because of recycling. The simple
waste we throw away is a "natural resource" that, with recycling, can
be used to produce a variety of new products.
Unfortunately, America recycles only 10% of its
rubbish, burns 10% and deposits 80% in waste disposal grounds. As a result, it
has to cope with a serious solid waste problem. Every year, Americans throw
away about 160 million tons of rubbish. Of that total, plastics make up less
than 8%, paper about 36%, and glass and metal about 20%, all by weight.
Plastics are naturally lighter, but still, when pressed together, account for
only about 20% by volume.
As a result, in the past 10 years the United
States' waste disposal grounds have decreased from about 18,500 to 6,000. In
five years 2,000 more will close.
In the process of finding solutions, some people
have proposed to stop using plastics. Unfortunately, stop using plastics would
do much harm and no good. We would lose all of the safety, health and
convenience features of plastics. Besides, packaging would still be needed. A
1987 study shows what would happen if plastics were not used, the energy needed
to produce other packaging, its cost, and the volume of waste collected would
all rise greatly.
Some Americans believe part of the answer to
American's waste problem lies in recycling everything from glass to metals to
paper to plastic.
Today, recycling is on the rise. There are now
more than 1,000 waste recycling program in the U.S. Many are beginning to
recycle plastics.
Right now, almost 200 companies are recycling
millions of used plastic containers into toys, traffic signs, waste baskets,
floor materials, and park benches.
Plastics are among the easiest materials to
recycle. More than 150 million pounds or 20% of all plastic soft drink bottles
were recycled in 1987.
|
26. |
What
can't the plastic soft drink bottles be turned into? |
|||
|
|
27. |
On average,
waste plastics are ______ other wastes. |
|||

28. |

U.S. reused _______ of all its plastic soft drink bottles in 1987. |
|||
|
|
29. |
In

|||
|
|
30. |
The
author of this passage _________ the proposal of stopping using plastics. |
