阅读理解 Many editors have a rule that they will not even read stories that are not formatted and presented as requested in their Submission（投稿）Guidelines.Even if this policy is not stated,it affects their decision-making.There are a few reasonable reasons. A good editor likes to read all stories for the first time in the same format（格式）as the publication standard.A consistent format between manuscripts（手稿）removes distractions like unusual presentation and puts each manuscript on the same starting level,with the focus on content. Leading publications get thousands of submissions a year.Editor time is extremely valuable.Most editors enjoy finding gems among the manuscripts,but they really dislike reformatting(don't you prefer eating an elegant meal to washing dishes?).When an editor sees he will have to spend an extra half hour of precious time in reformatting,he subconsciously marks that submission down compared to other submissions of equal quality. Publications need to have consistency in formatting for all their published stories: letterform,type size,spacing, paragraph structure etc.This keeps the reader's focus on the words and not their structure.Since editors don't have a choice to just accept a weirdly（古怪的）formatted story as it is,they are forced to either reformat or decline the submission. Publications use different software and other tools in their operations.Editors know what makes their system go smoothly.Many invisible software formatting structures between types of documents create disasters. Editors are not pedantic（迂腐的）.Their job is to find great material and expose those works to appreciative readers.Differently formatted manuscripts steal time away from that responsibility,which is bad for everyone.Editors love nothing more than finishing a read and thinking “Wow.A great story-AND it's cut and paste!" （1）What does the underlined word "gems" refer to in the third paragraph? A.Precious Jewels. B.Creative formats. C.Great stories. D.Amazing characters. （2）What kind of manuscript is most likely to be refused? A.One with no special structures. B.One with a general letterform. C.One with attractive plots. D.One with a weird format. （3）What does the passage mainly talk about? A.How the editors usually work. B.Why publications need consistent format. C.Why the manuscript's format can influence the editor's decision. D.The ways on how to format manuscripts.

阅读理解 Drive through any suburb in the U.S. today,and it's hard to miss the bins that have become companions to America's trash cans.Recycling has become commonplace,as people recognize the need to care for the environment. Yet most people's recycling consciousness extends only as far as paper,bottles,and cans.People seldom find themselves facing the growing problem of e-waste. E-waste rapidly increases as the techno-fashionable frequently upgrade to the most advanced devices,and the majority of them end up in landfills（垃圾填埋地）.Some people who track such waste say that users throw away nearly 2 million tons of TVs,VCRs,computers,cell phones,and other electronics every year.Unless we can find a safe replacement,this e-waste may get into the ground and poison the water with dangerous toxins（毒素）,such as lead, mercury,and arsenic.Burning the waste also dangerously contaminates the air. However,e-waste often contains reusable silver.gold.and other electrical materials.Recycling these materials reduces environmental problems by reducing both landfill waste and the need to look for such metals,which can destroy ecosystems. A growing number of states have adopted laws to ban dumping e-waste.Still,less than a quarter of this refuse will reach lawful recycling programs.Some companies advertising safe disposal（处置）in fact merely ship the waste to some developing countries,where it still ends up in landfills.These organizations prevent progress by unsafely disposing of waste in an out-of-sight,out-of-mind location. However,the small but growing number of cities and corporations that do handle e-waste responsibly represents progress toward making the world a cleaner,better place for us all. （1）What can we infer from the first paragraph? A.Most Americans have realized the dangers of e-waste. B.E-waste cannot be put into trash cans in the U.S. C.Many Americans now have access to recycling bins. D.Most of America's trash cans are made of recycled material. （2）What can best replace the underlined word "contaminates" in Paragraph 2? A.Pollutes. B.Heats. C.Absorbs. D.Reduces. （3）How does the author feel about burying e-waste m landfills? A.It's important. B.It's unsafe. C.It's acceptable. D.It's uncommon. （4）What's the author's purpose in writing this text? A.To tell us how to recycle e-waste. B.To talk about the future of e-waste. C.To discuss if it's necessary to recycle e-waste. D.To encourage us to deal with e-waste properly.
