The unwanted disturbing of a mobile phone ringing at a critical moment has led to some famously strong reactions．

      British actor Richard Grif-fiths，stopped a performance at the National Theatre and ordered The offending party to leave．

      Judge Robert Restaino went considerably further．He was hearing a session of domestic violence offenders in a court when proceedings were interrupted by rings of a phone．

      “Everyone is going to jail unless I get that instrument now,” he shouted．

      Over the next two hours，the judge entered what a state commission concluded was a period of “incredible madness”．He began by ordering the doors of the court locked，and set the officers to searching for the phone．

      When that failed to find the offending item he ordered each of the defendants present in the room up to his bench and in turn asked them if they had no idea, he sent each in turn to jail.

All 46 of them．

    When a defendant protested the judge’s actions were not fair to those who didn’t possess the phone，Restaino replied：“I know it isn’t．

    Judge’s actions caused chaos．Extra officers had to be drafted into the court to control the crowd．a(chǎn)nd booking officers at the city jail were at foil stretch．“We were playing Twister in here”, one said at the time．

Fourteen of the defendants were shackled in irons and sent to the county jail．

     The judge cooled off and later that afternoon released all 46．

     The “two hours of viral lunacy（瘋狂）”, has probably cost Restaino his job．The commission ruled that he should be removed from his$14,000 job．Restaino now has 30 days to appeal．

     His lawyer pointed out that until that moment he had served 11 years as a judge without any disciplinary issues．“With the exception of two hours．his record is spotless．”

1．The underlined sentence in the passage means ________．

      A．we are just playing games

B．we are struggling to control the crisis here

      C．we can hardly survive the crisis

D．we’re searching casually

2．Why is British actor Richard mentioned?

    A．To indicate the disadvantage of mobile phone．

    B．To scold the misusage of mobile phone．

    C．To provide an excuse for Richard’s offence．

    D．To support the opinion above．

Sir,

Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company, Cosmo books Ltd., offered this set (eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at what was claimed to be a ‘remarkable’ price: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing. I had wanted a set of Shakespeare’s plays and poems for some time, and these books, in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive; so I sent for them.

Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered. So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six book set of the plays of Moliere, in French. Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all. However, I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice.

You did not reply to that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds, and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks, the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I hardly know what I have. The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.

I have no room for any more books, and even if I read from now until the Last Judgment, I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me.

Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding payment. Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.

Yours faithfully,

SIMON WALKER

科目：高中英語 來源：四川省2010屆高三高考熱身英語試題 題型：閱讀理解

 

Disposing (處理) of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult.

    During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dump site. People would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by. Factories, mills, and

other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.

Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society. The first problem is space. Dumps(垃圾場), which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. A long distance dump has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is nonexistent. Awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people

can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.

Recycling efforts have become commonplace, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a city’s reusable waste.

1. The most suitable title for this passage would be ______.

   A. Places for Disposing of Waste         B. Waste Pollution Dangers

   C. Ways of Getting Rid of Waste         D. Waste Disposal Problem

2. During the 18th century, people disposed of waste in many ways except for ______.

   A. burying it    B. recycling it    C. burning it    D. throwing it into rivers

3. What can be inferred from the third paragraph?

   A. Farm areas will continue accepting waste from the city in modern society.

   B. There is cheap land to bury waste in modern society.

   C. It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modern society.

   D. Ways to deal with waste in modern society stay the same.

4. The main purpose of writing this article is to ______.

   A. draw people’s attention to waste management

   B. warn people of the pollution dangers we are facing

   C. call on people to take part in recycling programs

   D. tell people a better way to get rid of the waste
