阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AIn 1969 I was a young girl working in Toronto. I was from a small town in Ontario and had just moved to the big city about three months earlier. It was one week before Christmas and I was going home on the last streetcar of the evening. I remember looking at my paycheque(工资单) and asking myself how it was going to endure. At that time in my life I hardly had enough money to exist on. Bread for supper and oatmeal for breakfast was the only way I kept hunger at bay. I got off the streetcar and started walking up the street, when I suddenly noticed a man was running after me. I stopped, turned around, seeing that he was black. I snapped, “What do you want?” The man answered in a soft voice, “I am returning your wallet. You left it on the streetcar seat.” Because of that mans thoughtfulness, I was allowed the comfort of going home by bus for the summer holidays. Otherwise, I would have stayed alone in my small room with a hog plate. I have never been so ashamed of myself, and that poor, kind man had to walk, who knows how far, home. I recognized immediately that this was wrong of me and it changed my ways forever. 41. What can we learn from the second paragraph? A. The writer had no job when the story happened. B.

B There is a growing problem of what to do with electronic waste such as old televisions, computers, radios, cellular telephones and other electronic equipment. Electronic trash,or e-waste, is piling up faster than ever in American homes and businesses. People do not know what to do with old televisions or computers so they throw them in the trash.National Solid Wastes Management Association(NSWMA) state programs director Chaz Miller says the large amount of electronic waste Americans produce is not unexpected.The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items are dumped each year, and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills(垃圾填埋场) and create recycling programs. They can be torn apart and sorted for useable parts. Mike Fannon who runs the plant in Baltimore, says, There are a lot of valuable metals that can be recovered and reused instead of just putting them in the landfill, and in certain components there are some materials that should not really be in the landfill, Fannon explained. Fannon says nearly 20 percent of electronic waste is recycled nationwide.Thirteen years ago, it was only about 6 percent. Recycling rates continue to rise as more communities have banned electronics from landfills in an effort to keep e-waste poisons like lead(铅) and mercury（汞） out of garbage dumps. This year several states like Vermont imposed a ban on electronic waste in landfills. More than 25 other states have also adopted landfill bans, e-waste recycling programs or both. Chaz Miller says more can be done to boost electronic waste recycling.We can do much better, noted Miller. I think clearly our goal should be to do as well as we do recycling newspapers. 45.

According to Mike Fannon, what might be the best way of dealing with e-waste? A. Recycling it. B. Selling it. C. Burying it. D. Breaking it. 48. What can we learn from the passage? A. At present, less then 10 percent of e-waste is recycled. B. Chaz Miller works for EPA. C. All states in the US have banned e-waste from landfills. D. Experts are optimistic about the future of e-waste. CMonkeys are very similar to us in many ways. We enjoy watching them because they often act like us.
