Ever since I graduated from high school I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer. However, making the transformation between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be unacceptable, getting to a factory by 6 o’clock each morning is torture. My friends never seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation. There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down. The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like being laid off and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour. After working 12-hour shifts in a factory, the other options have become only too clear. "This job pays well, but it’s hell on the body," said one co-worker. "Study hard and keep reading." she added. When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale now ring true. My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good. 【1】What does the author think of his summer holiday? A.It was no holiday for him at all. B.It brought him nothing but suffering. C.It was a relief from his hard work at school. D.It offered him a chance to make more friends. 【2】What does the underlined word “torture” mean? A.misery B.fortune C.anxiety D.acceptance 【3】What is the biggest pressure for blue-collar workers? A.A low income B.The lack of security C.An unstable location D.Less break 【4】How did the working experiences change the author? A.He became responsible for his work. B.He learned to be more practical at work. C.He began to respect blue-collar workers. D.He came to appreciate his college education. |

"What kind of rubbish are you?" This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it has become a special "greeting" among people over the past week. On July 1st, the city introduced strict trash-sorting regulations （条例〉that are required to follow and expected to be used as a model for our country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss （投放）it into specific public dustbins. They must do so at specified times, when monitors are present to ensure correct trash-tossing and to ask the nature of one's rubbish. Individuals who fail to follow the regulations face the possibility of fines and worse. They could be punished with fines of up to 200 yuan （ $ 29）. For those who repeat to go against them, the government can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to get bank loans or even buy train tickets. Shanghai government is responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9 million tons of garbage a year, more than London's annual output, which is rising quickly. But like other cities in China, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on trash pickers to sift （筛选）through the waste, picking out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up. Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are annoyed by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or harmful, the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules concerning food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bins, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand. What they complain most is the short periods for dropping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out； no one wants to look bad. 【1】What do we know about the trash-sorting regulations in Shanghai? A.They are the first of their kind. B.They are tied to one's bank account. C.They have the highest fines. D.They're aided by monitors. 【2】Why has Shanghai introduced the trash-sorting regulations? A.There are fewer and fewer trash pickers. B.It aims to build a new recycling system. C.It faces more and more serious garbage problems. D.People throw the rubbish here and there. 【3】What makes the residents upset most about the regulations? A.Limited time for tossing the trash. B.Confusing distinction among the categories of trash. C.Being fined due to improper behavior. D.Being watched by monitors when throwing the garbage. 【4】What can be the best title for the text? A.A Good Way of Trash-sorting B.A New Era of Garbage Classification C.A Great Time in Dealing with Litter D.An Effective Solution to Rubbish Problem |

The artificial control of the weather, known as weather modification, seems like something out of a science fiction novel, but now it seems to have become a reality. Weather Modification International, a North Dakota-based company, is using planes to target clouds and draw out more rain from them. The concept behind the practice, which is called cloud seeding, has been around for decades. But there is new urgency due to climate change and a rapidly growing global population, which have disrupted (中断) global water supplies. Weather Modification describes cloud seeding as "an improvement"of the natural raining process. The technology makes storms more efficient by getting additional moisture (水汽) out of clouds. "If there are no clouds in the sky that have any moisture in them, then we can't do anything."said Brian Kindrat, an aircraft captain at Weather Modification. "What we can do is tap into what is there and assist mother nature." To do this, pilots target clouds with lots of moisture and put small amounts of a silver iodide (碘化银) mixture. The water in the clouds condenses (凝结) and becomes heavy. Then, it falls to the ground as rain. The company sees cloud seeding as part of a solution for droughts (干旱). "We aren't going to solve large climate shifts in areas, but if you went back and you looked in California and said if we had an additional 10%, 15%, 20% of snowpack and rain over the last 10 year...it would be significantly different." said Neil Brackin, president of Weather Modification. "With such a program as cloud seeding, additional water for cities and agriculture is available. In fact everybody can benefit from it." Brackin added. But there are concerns about cloud seeding's long-term impacts. For example, it's unclear how making it rain in one state affects a neighboring state. It's also up for debate who "owns" the water―such as which state or country―that comes out of the clouds. There are also environmental questions, such as ones related to the long-term impacts of silver iodide. Although some critics may have concerns about companies impacting the weather, the company denies that it's "playing God". "We're not really playing God. I think that's really overstating what we're doing."Brackin said. "We're being very specific and environmentally friendly in what we're doing to enhance the natural raining." 【1】What can we learn about cloud seeding from paragraph 2 and 3? A.It has not been put into practice yet. B.It will enable people to control the weather at will. C.It is a new concept put forward recently. D.It can help deal with drought. 【2】What did Brian Kindrat want to say about Weather Modification？ A.It can create rain magically. B.It can only depend on nature. C.It has the ability to change nature. D.It can produce rain from any cloud. 【3】What can be inferred from Brackin's words in the last paragraph？ A.He is full of confidence in the future of cloud seeding. B.He thinks the existing cloud seeding needs to be improved. C.He disagrees with the criticism aimed at the impact of cloud seeding. D.He believes cloud seeding can do much more than increasing rainfall. 【4】What's the author's attitude to the practice of cloud seeing？ A.Objective B.Critical C.Approving D.Doubtful |
