Sweden produces about 4. 4 million tons of waste a year, but only 1% makes its way to the landfill. When it comes to waste management, Sweden is ahead of its time. How has Sweden done it?

In Sweden, everyone works hard to make the environment free of waste. People are taught to recycle from a very young age. They are asked to return cans and bottles to supermarkets. The government places recycling stations no more than 300 meters from homes, schools, and offices. These all help waste management in Sweden much easier and more practical.

The country also rewards those who recycle. In 1984, Sweden started the panta system. It encourages people to recycle bottles in exchange for money. The process is very simple. People put their items into a machine. Each piece has a small barcode that tells the machine how much it is worth. People can collect a voucher for that amount by pressing a green button, or they can donate the money to charity by pressing a yellow button. In 2021, the Swedish recycled 1.8 billion bottles and cans by using panta system.

Sweden recycles nearly 50% of what it throws away. But what about the other half? ________ Altogether Sweden has 34 waste-to-energy plants that provide 1, 445, 000 homes with heat and 780, 000 homes with electricity. Changing waste into energy has reduced Sweden’s CO2 emissions by 2.2 million tons a year. In 2016, Sweden had started running out of trash, so it began importing waste from other countries. It not only keeps the plants working, but also lets Sweden make much money. That is what makes Sweden different from the other countries.

Sweden’s waste management has made a great success. But still, the country is wondering how it can do more. They hope to see a day when landfills are a thing of the past.

19．The word “These” in Para. 2 refers to the ________ that help to recycle the waste.

A．plans B．meanings C．actions D．reasons

20．In the panta system, people can ________.

A．find recycling stations easily B．sell bottles to supermarkets

C．change the waste into energy D．get rewards from machines

21．Which of the following can be best filled in the ________ in Para. 4?

A．This waste is recycled by Swedish at home.

B．This waste goes to landfills and is burnt there.

C．This waste is put into machines and is sold abroad.

D．This waste goes to plants and is changed into energy.

22．The purpose of this passage is to ________.

A．celebrate the success of waste recycling in Sweden

B．advise other countries to ask for help from Sweden

C．introduce the Swedish method of waste management

D．show Sweden earns much money by recycling waste

Humans are getting away from the nature gradually because of the developing technology. But now Digital Technology is offering us an opportunity to listen to the sounds in the nature in powerful ways, making us get closer to the worlds of animals and plants.

All around the nature, there are sounds that we struggle to pick up and understand. Elephants, for example, communicate with each other using infrasound, a sound far below our human hearing range. Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves, with one purpose of attracting baby coral to areas where it can successfully grow. This is a shocking fact as coral doesn’t have any ears!

To pick up sounds humans are normally unable to hear, scientists have placed listening devices in these environments. Researchers have attached tiny microphones to honeybees and turtles, and stuck listening posts that can receive different sound waves from coral reefs and trees. These devices are controlled by computers and networked with digital sensors and satellites. When interconnected, these digital devices work like a hearing aid: enabling humans to observe and record nature’s sounds beyond the limits of our own listening ability. After the sounds are recorded, AI is then able to determine their meanings.

With this technology, humans can not only understand the animals, but also communicate back to them. For example, a team of researchers in Germany decoded the honeybees’ behavior with AI. Then they taught tiny robots how to do the honeybee dance. Using these dancing machines, the scientists were able to order the honeybees to stop moving, and to communicate where to fly to collect a specific nectar. In addition to the possibility of speaking with animals, the research could also be used to create a form of healing for animals and plants. That’s to say, in the near future, scientists might be able to get coral to grow in certain areas by playing “healthy reef” sounds, which could help to heal some of the damage we have caused.

Now, Digital Technology provides a new way for humans to listen to the vivid sounds all around us. The dream of allowing humans to socialize with different animals and plants throughout the nature is being on its way.

23．According to the passage, now people can use Digital Technology to ________.

A．see coral’s ears B．listen to the sounds of trees

C．play with elephants D．dance with honeybees themselves

24．Which is the right order to pick up the sounds from the nature for scientists?

a. Analyze the meanings with the help of AI.     b. Place listening devices into the nature world.

c. Collect the sounds from the animals or plants.     d. Connect the devices with computers and networks.

A．b→d→c→a B．b→c→d→a C．c→b→a→d D．c→d→b→a

25．What could most probably happen with the help of Digital Technology?

A．More people will choose to live in the nature.

B．There will be much fewer animals in the nature.

C．People can protect the environment more easily.

D．Robots can be used to communicate with anything.

26．What’s the best title of this passage?

A．Digital-tech: An Invention to Change People’s Life

B．Digital-tech: A Suggestion to Rebuild the Nature World

C．Digital-tech: An Aid to Enable People to Hear Everything

D．Digital-tech: A Skill to Help People to Talk with the Nature

This was our last trip before high school. I had been looking forward to it for weeks. But at the roller coaster, my stomach felt too tight to say anything at all.

The big girl beside us was Tasha, my best friend Dan’s sister. We came here in her car. She was a singer. She was fantastic on the stage. Just the image of her up there made me think she was so cool.

Our roller coaster car pulled up, and my friends rushed forward, I felt my legs couldn’t move. All I could think about was the roller coaster might fly off into the sky.

Without a word, I turned, ran out of the line. I knew what people were saying about me, but I didn’t care. I just kept moving past the crowd, found a bench near the bathrooms to sit down and put my head in my hands.

“Hey! Are you okay?” I looked up. It was Tasha!

“Oh, uh, yeah, I just started feeling, um, sick.” I responded.

“You know, it’s okay if you were scared. Everyone gets scared.” She said.

“You don’t.” I said in a low voice. “I’ve seen you on that stage. You were fearless.”

“I’m glad it looks like I’m not scared!” Tasha smiled. “But that’s not true. I get really scared and nervous before I perform.”

Before I noticed she was on the bench by my side, her words moved on.

“Hey, look, singing is important to me. And I want to share what I love with my people. So, even if I’m scared. I do it anyway. I push through the fear and just get up and do it. Is taking roller coaster important to you?”

“Yeah, it is. And I want to be able to look back and remember having fun with my friends. I don’t want to remember running away and sitting alone by the bathrooms.”

“Everyone gets scared, but brave people don’t let fear control them.” She looked into my eyes.

Still being lost in what she said, I saw my friends coming towards me.

I ________.

When we were leaving, Tasha took a photo of my big smile in front of the coaster. I put it on my door. It stayed there through all four years of my high school, a reminder of what was more important to me than fear.
