        The Garbage (垃圾) Project started at the University of Arizona in 1973. Since then, the students and teachers in it have studied the modern garbage in different cities.

    To study the garbage, the students had to travel to landfills (填埋场) , the places where cities bury (填埋) their garbage. While the students were studying the garbage they wore special clothes. Students were very careful when they opened bags of garbage.

    One important thing the students have learned from studying the garbage is that the garbage in landfills disappears very slowly. That was surprising to both the students and many scientists who had thought that about 70 % of the garbage in landfills would disappear quickly. Even in cities where it rains a lot, the students found newspapers from 1948, 40-year-old hot dogs, and vegetables from 1970. And the students also found many more empty bottles of cola than they expected.

        How to dispose of our garbage well depends on what kind of garbage it is: regular(普通的) garbage, dangerous materials, or recyclable materials, such as newspapers and glass bottles. Regular garbage goes to regular landfills. Dangerous materials are harmful to people's health and the environment. They shouldn't go into regular landfills.

        Homes are full of dangerous waste. One kind of the dangerous waste in homes is batteries. When batteries are buried directly(直接地)in a landfill, they often break open. The poison inside them moves through rain water to the bottom of the landfill. Then it can pollute the natural water in the ground.

        Another dangerous waste from homes is motor oil. When people pour old motor oil on the ground or throw it in the garbage, it pollutes the environment.

        Our garbage problem is not new, but as the world's population continues to grow, it will become a bigger and bigger problem.

    A、1973 B、1970 C、1948 D、1940

    (3)、The underlined words "dispose of" in Paragraph 4 means ___________.
    A、crash into B、deal with C、worry about D、put up
    (4)、From the article, we know old motor oil ____________.
    A、should go to regular landfills B、isn't harmful garbage C、mustn't be poured on the ground D、never pollutes the environment
    (5)、Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A、There are only two kinds of dangerous waste in homes. B、Scientists thought about 70 % of the garbage in landfills would disappear slowly. C、The students found empty bottles of cola were not as many as they expected. D、Batteries often break open when they are buried directly in a landfill.
  • 3.     TOKYO, JAPAN--What do you do when you see a cockroach (蟑螂)? Do you hit it with a newspaper? Do you step on it?
        When researchers at Tokyo University see a cockroach, they take the remote control and make the cockroach turn around, run left or right, or go forward. These scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots. Each cockroach has a very small pack that has in it a microprocessor(微处理器).Then researchers can send signals from the remote control to the pack. The signals control the movements of the cockroaches.
    Why does anyone want to control a cockroach? “Insects can do many things that people can't,” says Isao Shimoyama, head of robot research at Tokyo University. In a few years, he says, these robot insects will carry very small cameras. They will be able to move through earthquake rubble(瓦砾)to look for people or move under doors to find information about someone.
        This may seem strange, but the Japanese government thinks the research is very important. The government is giving the scientists $ 5 million for this research.
        First, the researchers breed (培育)hundreds of cockroaches. They use only the American cockroach because it is bigger and stronger than other cockroaches. Then they choose the best cockroaches and remove their wings and antennae(触须). They put small packs where the antennae were. The packs weigh about three grams, or about two times the weight of the cockroaches themselves. “Cockroaches are very strong,” says Ralph Holzer, who is a researcher at Tokyo University. “They can lift 20 times their own weight. ”
    With a remote control, the scientists send signals to the packs. When a cockroach gets the signal, it moves. The problem is that the cockroaches don't always move in the right direction.

    (1)、The scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots because ______.

    A、they want cockroaches to do things people can't in the future B、they want to control the movements of the cockroaches C、they want cockroaches to take photos of the earthquakes D、they want to send signals to the packs on the cockroaches
    (2)、What can cockroaches do to help people?

    A、They can lift 20 times their own weight. B、They can help people to carry very small cameras. C、They can breed hundreds of cockroaches. D、They can search for those people in rubble after an earthquake.
    (3)、Scientists control cockroaches' movements ______.

    A、by removing their wings B、by sending signals from the remote control C、by using very small cameras D、by removing their antennae
    (4)、What problem do the rcscarchcrs meet with?

    A、The cockroachcs sometimes clon;t move. B、The cockroachcs sometimes move in ihc wrong direction. C、The cockroachcs arc too big to move through earthquake rubble. D、The cockroachcs can only lift 20 times their own weight.
