What do people do with their old, out of date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know how to deal with them. Many old computers are put away. Many more are simply thrown away as rubbish.
Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products（產(chǎn)品）. Dell, Hewlett Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers of their own brands.
In some countries, laws have been passed, too. Computer companies have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay for the cost. That will encourage them to make computers which are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade（升級）.
Yet many people are throwing away good computers, while others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working on this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers. These repaired computers then go to schools, charities（慈善團(tuán)體) or people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else’s useful things and cut down waste, too.

試題分析：這篇短文主要講述的是我們該如何處理舊電腦。有些國家通過法律，讓電腦公司出錢回收舊的產(chǎn)品，還有些組織把舊電腦修理之后，再送給需要他們的人。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文的第一段What do people do with their old, out of date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know how to deal with them. Many old computers are put away. Many more are simply thrown away as rubbish.可知，對于舊的、過時(shí)了的電腦，大多數(shù)人都不知道該如何處理，這樣的電腦被擱置起來，或像垃圾一樣被扔掉。A選項(xiàng)的賣掉和B選項(xiàng)的送給別人，在文中都沒有提到。故選C。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段的內(nèi)容可知，在這一段中一共提到了三家電腦公司，他們是Sony、 Dell和 Hewlett Packard。故應(yīng)選C。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段的內(nèi)容Computer companies have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled可知，在一些國家里，根據(jù)法律，電腦公司必須付錢來收集和回收他們用過的產(chǎn)品。故A選項(xiàng)與原文的意思一致。
小題4:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文最后一段They collect and repair old computers. These repaired computers then go to schools, charities（慈善團(tuán)體) or people who need them可知，有些組織中的人們收集舊電腦并修理，然后把它們送給學(xué)校、慈善機(jī)構(gòu)或需要他們的人。故選B。
小題5:主旨大意題。這篇短文主要講述的是如何來處理舊電腦的事，有些國家通過法律讓電腦公司付錢回收用過的產(chǎn)品。還有些組織中的人們把舊電腦修理了之后，再送給需要他們的人。所以整篇短文都是圍繞回收利用舊電腦展開的。故C選項(xiàng)回收電腦是最符合文意的。故選C。

No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world, but the number may be over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.
In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people. As we get older, many of us will become less mobile (可動的) , hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.
Disablement can take many forms and happen at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people’s attitude(態(tài)度) towards them.
　　Disabled people face many physical barriers(障礙). Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine what would you do if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. What would you do if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice(偏見)can be even harder to break down and ignorance (無知) represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully understand what the disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person(個(gè)人) and their ability, not their disability, which counts.
小題1:The first paragraph points out that ___________.
A．it is possible to get an exact number of the world’s disabled people
B．there are many disabled people in the world
C．the number of disabled people in India is the greatest
D．India has not much more disabled people than Canada
小題2:The key word in Paragraph 4 is ___________.
A．barriers B．disabledC．disability D．prejudice
小題3: Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．There are about 10 percent disabled persons in the UK.
B．The whole society should pay more attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.
C．Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.
D．There is still prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance.
小題4:It can be concluded（推斷）from the passage that ___________.
A．we should try our best to prevent disablement
B．we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled
C．the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled
D．both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down

Recent years , with the development of the computer and the Internet, many students often use computers to surf the Internet . Should students be allowed to surf the Internet? Here are some people’s opinions .
 Tracy
I study in a junior high school . I think students shouldn’t be allowed to surf the Internet . Surfing the Internet wastes a lot of time , so the students spend less time doing their homework . Also many students lose themselves in playing the computer games . In their minds , games are everything and they keep on playing the games for hours . That’s too bad for their study and their health .
Jimmy
  I don’t agree with Tracy . In my opinion , surfing the Internet can help us a lot . For example , I often get help from the Internet . I’m weak in learning English . When I have trouble in learning English, I can get on line to ask for help . Always I can get the answers soon . In this way , I have made great progress .Thanks to the Internet .
 Jeff
   Yes , I have the same opinion as Jimmy . My son , Bob studies very hard . After hours of working hard , he usually feels tired . If he goes on with his study , he will feel stressed out . So I often ask him to surf the Internet to listen to some light music . It can help him relax and he will study better later on .

Since the first Earth Day started on April 22, 1970, people around the world have been encouraged to protect the environment and natural resources．Gaylord Nelson started this holiday．On the first Earth Day， 20 million people took part in Earth Day events．
Earth Day activities can include learning something about technology like cars that are more environmentally friendly and special houses that save energy and water．An organization called the Earth Day Network encourages people to use clean energy which doesn’t pollute the environment．Most of our energy comes from fossil fuels (化石燃料) that are found underground． Coal， oil and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels．Fossil fuels come from plants and animals that lived millions of years ago． Burning fossil fuels to create energy pollutes the air and water． Many scientists think that burning fossil fuels also increases the temperature of the earth． To reduce the use of fossil fuels． scientists are experimenting with hydrogen-powered (氫化發(fā)動的) cars． These cars don’t pollute the air like gas-powered cars．
Some scientists guess that by 2025, fossil fuels will run out．When people can no longer use gasoline， they may use fuel cells instead． Fuel cells use hydrogen to create energy． People do not need to worry about hydrogen running out， because it is renewable and replaceable．
In Washington， D.C.， a few people drive cars that run on fuel cells． When these cars need more energy, drivers can go to a hydrogen pump．The first hydrogen pump for the public opened in November 2004， marking an important step toward a cleaner environment．

A．When we use them to create gasoline．
B．When people get them from the underground．
C．After being burned to get energy．
D．After getting them from a hydrogen pump．

Do you know how to write an English letter?
When we write a letter in Chinese, we always put the date at the end of the letter. But it is different in English. We have to put it on the top of the right corner. And above the date, we also write the number of our house and the names of our street, city and country. To begin the letter, we always use words like “Dear sir” “Dear Mr /Miss/ Mrs…”.To the end of the letter, we usually use words like “Yours” “Yours ever” or “Truly yours”.
It is also different to write an English envelope. If you write to an Australian friend named Jane Shute, write your name and address on the top of the left corner and write hers in the middle.
Now read the following envelope, please.

小題1:“We have to put it on the top of the right corner.” The word “It” here means
A．the dateB．the letterC．the envelopeD．the passage
