Many envirnmentalists and entrepreneurs are lking fr ideas n hw t “capture gld” ― that is, hw t cllect and cnvert plastic waste int new plastic r fuel.
OK, describing plastic waste as ptential “gld” may be verding it. But the campaigners say that publicizing the ntin that plastic is wrth smething may help reduce the amunt f waste that ends up in ceans and the bellies f sea creatures.
T that end, they have set up a cmpetitin inviting members f the public t submit ideas nline. Organizers will take the best nes t the Ri+20 Earth Summit in Ri de Janeir next mnth, where they are planning a daylng side event called Plasticity fcusing n issues related t plastic pllutin.

Mre than 260 millin metric tns f plastic are nw prduced per year, accrding t the trade assciatin Plastics Eurpe. The majrity f that is nt recycled. Mst f it ends up in landfill, and a significant amunt ends up as litter n land, in rivers and in the ceans.
Technlgical advances have made clear that it is pssible t reuse much f this plastic by turning it int fuel r new prducts. Yet the cmpanies that have cme up with such slutins have nt achieved the ecnmies f scale that wuld allw them t functin prfitably. Insufficient waste-cllectin and recycling systems in mst cuntries als stand in the way f “trash t cash” cncept, said Dug Wdring, an envirnmental entrepreneur in Hng Kng wh is amng the rganizer f the Plasticity frum in Ri.
Rather than breast-beating, the frum aims t highlight sme f the technlgies and ideas ut there fr cllectin and reuse. My persnal favrite fr nw is a vacuum cleaner with plastic parts made frm plastic waste.

A. T describe plastic waste as ptential “gld”.
B. T invite members f the public t their frum.

(2) I drve and drve n main rads and side rads fr the next few days and never saw a single ne.
(3) When I was in my teens and twenties, hitchhiking was a main frm f lng-distance transprt. The kindness r curisity f strangers tk me all ver Eurpe, Nrth America, Asia and suthern Africa. Sme f the lift-givers became friends, many prvided hspitality n the rad.
(4) Nt nly did yu find ut much mre abut a cuntry than when traveling by train r plane, but there was that element f excitement abut where yu wuld finish up that night. Hitchhiking featured imprtantly in Western culture. It has bks and sngs abut it. S what has happened t it?

Everyne was hitchhiking then.”
(10) Surely this is a gd idea fr sciety. Hitchhiking wuld increase respect by breaking dwn barriers between strangers. It wuld help fight glbal warming by cutting dwn n fuel cnsumptin as hitchhiker wuld be using existing fuels. It wuld als imprve educatinal standards by delivering instant lessns in gegraphy, histry, plitics and scilgy.
(11) A century befre Duglas Adams wrte his Hitchhiker’s Guide, anther adventure stry writer, Rbert Luis Stevensn, gave us what shuld be the hitchhiker’s mtt: “T travel hpefully is a better thing than t arrive.” What better time than putting a hliday weekend int practice.

One mrning a few years ag, Harvard President Neil Rudenstine verslept. Fr this busy man, it was a srt f alarm: after years f nn-stp hard wrk, he might wear himself ut and die an early death.
Only after a week’s leave — during which he read nvels, listened t music and walked with his wife n a beach — was Rudenstine able t return t wrk.
In ur mdern life, we have lst the rhythm between actin and rest. Amazingly, within this wrld there is a universal but silly saying: “I am s busy.”
We say this t ne anther as if ur tireless effrts were a talent by nature and an ability t successfully deal with stress. The busier we are, the mre imprtant we seem t urselves and, we imagine, t thers. T be unavailable t ur friends and family, and t be unable t find time t relax—— this has becme the mdel f a successful life.
Because we d nt rest, we lse ur way. We miss the guide telling us where t g, the fd prviding is with strength, the quiet giving us wisdm.
Hw have we allwed this t happen? I believe it is this: we have frgtten the Sabbath, the day f the week — fr fllwers f sme religins — fr rest and praying. It is a day when we are nt suppsed t wrk, a time when we devte urselves t enjying and celebrating what is beautiful. It is a gd time t bless ur children and lved nes, give thanks, share meals, walk and sleep. It is a time fr us t take a rest, t put ur wrk aside, trusting that there are larger frces at wrk taking care f the wrld.
Rest is s spiritual and bilgical need; hwever, in ur strng ambitin t be successful and care fr ur many respnsibilities, we may feel terribly guilty when we take time t rest. The Sabbath gives us permissin t stp wrk. In fact, “Remember the Sabbath” is mre than simply permissin t rest; it is a rule t bey and a principle t fllw.
24. Accrding t Paragraph 4, a successful persn is ne wh is believed t _______.
A. be able t wrk withut stress
B. be mre talented than ther peple
C. be mre imprtant than anyne else
D. be busying wrking withut time t rest
25. What is the main idea f the passage?
A. The Sabbath gives us permissin t rest.
B. We shuld balance wrk with rest.
C. It is silly t say “I am busy.”
D. We shuld be available t ur family and friends.
【答案】24. D 25. B
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。本文通过哈佛教授多年无休止的工作，最后由于身体不适，不得不休息一段时间再回去工作这件事，来进一步说明工作是必须的，但是休息也是精神和生理的需要，我们要做好工作和休息的平衡。
【24题详解】判断推理题。根据第四段“The busier we are, the mre imprtant we seem t urselves and, we imagine, t thers. T be unavailable t ur friends and family, and t be unable t find time t relax—— this has becme the mdel f a successful life.(我们越忙，对自己来说就越重要，我们想象，对别人来说也就越重要。无法与朋友和家人相处，找不到时间放松——这已成为成功生活的典范。)”可推知，一个成功的人就是忙于工作，没时间休息的人。故选D项。
【25题详解】主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“Rest is s spiritual and bilgical need; hwever, in ur strng ambitin t be successful and care fr ur many respnsibilities, we may feel terribly guilty when we take time t rest. The Sabbath gives us permissin t stp wrk. In fact, ‘Remember the Sabbath’ is mre than simply permissin t rest; it is a rule t bey and a principle t fllw. (休息是人的精神和生理需要；然而，在我们渴望成功和关心我们的许多责任的强烈愿望中，当我们花时间休息时，我们可能会感到非常内疚。安息日允许我们停止工作。事实上，‘记住安息日’不仅仅是允许休息；这是一条需要遵守的规则，也是一条需要遵循的原则。)”以及上文可知，本文通过哈佛教授多年无休止的工作，最后由于身体不适，不得不休息一段时间再回去工作这件事，来进一步说明工作是必须的，但是休息也是精神和生理的需要，我们要做好工作和休息的平衡，所以B项We shuld balance wrk with rest. (我们应该平衡工作和休息。)符合文意。故选B项。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在美国许多人生病仍然在工作，这是因为他们没有足够的带薪病假时间来承担奢侈品或呆在家里。为了解决此问题，国会颁发了《健康家庭法案》，该法案要求拥有 15 名或以上员工的雇主每年为其员工提供 7 天带薪病假。这些假期不仅可以用于员工生病的日子，还可以用于照顾他人或去常规医生处就诊。
【26题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“The reality fr many Americans is that they d nt have enugh paid sick time each year t affrd them the luxury f staying hme because they dn't feel well”（对许多美国人而言，现实情况是，他们每年没有足够的带薪病假，无法享受因身体不适而呆在家里的奢侈。）可知，许多美国人在生病的时候仍然来上班是因为呆在家里的代价是巨大的，故选B。
【27题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“This prblem desn’t just affect the wrking emplyees wh are sick, thugh. In an article by James Warren fr Blmberg Business Week, a secnd-grade schl teacher, Stilli Klikizs shares abut the sick children that must stay in schl all day lng because their parents can’t get ff wrk t cme and get them. In the past schl year, she had several children wh were unable t be picked up at schl wh were later diagnsed with H1N1.”（不过，这个问题不仅仅影响生病的在职员工。在詹姆斯·沃伦为《彭博商业周刊》撰写的一篇文章中，二年级教师斯蒂利·克利齐佐斯分享了生病的孩子必须整天待在学校，因为他们的父母无法下班来接他们。在过去的学年里，她有几个孩子无法被接到学校，后来被诊断出患有 H1N1。）可知，在这篇文章中詹姆斯沃伦的意思是说，成年人没有足够的带薪病假可能对儿童的发展有害，故选C。
【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“The Healthy Family Act wuld require emplyers with 15 r mre emplyees t prvide 7 paid sick days a year fr their wrkers. These days culd be used nt nly fr days when the wrker is sick, but the time can als be used when caring fr thers, r ging t rutine dctr’s appintments.”（《健康家庭法案》要求拥有 15 名或以上员工的雇主每年为员工提供 7 天带薪病假。这些病假不仅可以用于员工生病时，还可以用于照顾他人或去医院看病。）可知，根据健康家庭法案，员工可以用带薪病假来照顾生病的孩子，故选B。
【29题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Thse wh are against the Act argue that many businesses are struggling t make ends meet wing t recessin, and pint ut that this is the wrng time t frce emplyers t add an additinal expense.”（反对该法案的人认为，许多企业由于经济衰退而难以维持收支平衡，并指出现在不是强迫雇主增加额外开支的错误时机。）可知，一些人反对健康家庭法案是由于经济衰退，许多公司的财务状况不是很好的缘故，故选D。
【30题详解】词句猜测题。根据最后一句“Accrding t a reprt by Katie Curic n the CBS evening news, three furths f lw wage earners get dckedwhen they are sick. Thse individuals include daycare wrkers and restaurant wrkers, whse health can affect the health f many.”（据凯蒂·库里克在哥伦比亚广播公司晚间新闻中报道，四分之三的低收入者生病时会get dcked。这些人包括日托工作者和餐馆工作人员，他们的健康状况会影响许多人的健康。）可知，低收入者生病时，仍然工作，因为他们不工作就会被扣工资，由此可推知，画线短语get dcked的意思是“被扣工资”，故选D。
