In rich cuntries like America, the absence f prfessinal waste-pickers presents a prblem. The general public is nt very gd at srting rubbish. Husehlds and businesses serviced by municipal waste-management prviders may actually have gt wrse at srting in the past 20 years, says Peter Keller f Republic Services, America's secnd-biggest waste management firm, which runs Newby Island in San Jse.
Citizens f rich cuntries, where almst 100% f municipal waste gets cllected, take such services fr granted - unless the cllectrs g n strike (罢工),as happened in the Belgian city f Ghent in early August, leaving streets in a stink (恶臭) fr days. In sme industrialized natins, increasingly, residents are charged based n vlume (knwn as "pay-as-yu-thrw") T encurage srting, such schemes ften exempt recyclables.
The vlume f recyclables has reached 1,400 tns a day, a lt by American standards, says Mr. Keller. That shuld cme as n surprise. After all, inhabitants f the San Francisc Bay area pride themselves n their recycling ability. San Francisc basts a recycling rate f 80% ne f the highest f any rich-wrld city. San Franciscans may therefre be shcked t learn that a lt f them, as Mr. Keller puts it, “aren't very gd at it"
Tw pssible reasns accunt fr Mr. Keller's remarks. The first is that many peple d nt knw what is recyclable. Beer bttles and sft-drink cans are, he says. Egg cartns and magazines are nt, fr there is nt market fr the materials f which they are made. Sme things are recyclable n their wn, but nt when cmbined, such as "paper" cups lined with plastic film. It is hard t blame cnsumers fr feeling increasingly puzzled, he admits
The ther prblem is that residents nly have t separate recyclables frm nn-recyclables Cans, bttles and papers are all thrwn int ne bin. This mix can, t sme degree, be srted at plants like Newby, enabled by clever technlgy which uses ptical sensr;(光电感应器) and magnets t separate materials autmatically. Anyway, these was n match fr humans when it came t srting.
As the vlume f recyclables increased in America and Eurpe, the quality f recycled utput decreased because everything was mixed in tgether. This did nt truble materials. recvery facilities (MRF) peratrs s lng as they wuld fflad their increasingly impure stck abrad. Then China annunced it wuld nt accept any plastics r carbard, and American waste-management cmpanies have been struggling t find what t d with their pr-quality waste.
83. Accrding t the passage, the biggest prblem in rich cuntries caused by lack f prfessinal waste-pickers is that_______.
A. waste cllectrs ften g n strike regardless f peple's needs
B.n ne teaches peple hw t tell apart recyclable and nn-recyclables
C. waste srting by machine is far frm perfect s far
D. citizens fail t deal with waste srting prperly
84. Which f the fllwing best defines the wrd *exempt"(Paragraph 2)?
A. make n charge fr B. set aside
C. fully expect D. set the standard fr
85. What can be inferred frm Mr. Keller's cmments n San Franciscans" recycling ability?
A. Mre advanced waste srting machines will be launched (推出) as sn as pssible.
B. San Franciscans are nt infrmed that there is n need t recycle egg cartns.
C. Recycling ability is nt all abut separating recyclables frm nn-recyclables
D. It's hard fr San Franciscans t change their recycling habits in the new times
86. The paragraph that fllws the passage will be prbably abut_____.
A. the reasn why MFR is nt wrried abut pr-quality waste
B. China's new plicy t keep freign rubbish ut
C. effrts t teach residents hw better t srt their rubbish
D. the cmpnents (成分) f the mixed waste in America
Sectin C
Directins: Cmplete the fllwing passage by using the sentences given belw. Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
A. The bear's death shuld never have happened.
B. The reality, hwever, is cnsiderably mre cmplex.
C. Simply clsing ff these regins is nt the answer.
D. Shuld we be in these envirnments at all?
E. Visitrs ften becme ambassadrs (大使) fr the endangered plar bear.
F. This can be by making financial decisins t cnservatin grups.
The images were shcking, and the reactin was cmpletely predictable. The sight f a plar bear lying hurt n a beach - bld matting the fur f its neck, with ne huge paw flded under its bdy - received immediate criticism glbally: By the shre in the backgrund stand a grup f guides, talking t each ther. One f them had a gun hanging casually n his shulder. This is nt smething that is taken lightly. 87 .
This pwerful image raises questins abut the mtivatins (动机) f this kind f turism r ecturism. 88 . Are there regins in the wrld where nature shuld be left cmpletely untuched? Has ur access t large animals in the wild, ften driven by a desire fr sensatinal images, led these animals t becme accustmed t human cntact? If s, the lser wuld surely pay a heavy price fr such an apprach.
Befre we answer these questins, we wuld cnsider the events that are f glbal cncern. Fr me, I was definitely shcked. I have recently returned frm a trip t Svalbard, and indeed std tw weeks ag n the very beach where the bear was sht. 89 . Was the beach examined frm the ship ffshre befrehand? Was there access t flares (信号弹) t scare ff a bear that appeared suddenly? These are standard measures fr a respectable peratr, and the accident culd be the result f a system failure.
Hwever, images and events shuld nt be used t criticize the cncept f ecturism. Ecturism is an expanding market that brings benefits as well as challenges t the regins arund the wrld in which it perates. 90 . The key is respnsibility and research befre bking. If ecturism is dne prperly, the benefits are immediate and lasting.

In rich cuntries like America, the absence f prfessinal waste-pickers presents a prblem. The general public is nt very gd at srting rubbish. Husehlds and businesses serviced by municipal waste-management prviders may actually have gt wrse at srting in the past 20 years, says Peter Keller f Republic Services, America's secnd-biggest waste management firm, which runs Newby Island in San Jse.
Citizens f rich cuntries, where almst 100% f municipal waste gets cllected, take such services fr granted - unless the cllectrs g n strike (罢工),as happened in the Belgian city f Ghent in early August, leaving streets in a stink (恶臭) fr days. In sme industrialized natins, increasingly, residents are charged based n vlume (knwn as "pay-as-yu-thrw") T encurage srting, such schemes ften exempt recyclables.
The vlume f recyclables has reached 1,400 tns a day, a lt by American standards, says Mr. Keller. That shuld cme as n surprise. After all, inhabitants f the San Francisc Bay area pride themselves n their recycling ability. San Francisc basts a recycling rate f 80% ne f the highest f any rich-wrld city. San Franciscans may therefre be shcked t learn that a lt f them, as Mr. Keller puts it, “aren't very gd at it"
Tw pssible reasns accunt fr Mr. Keller's remarks. The first is that many peple d nt knw what is recyclable. Beer bttles and sft-drink cans are, he says. Egg cartns and magazines are nt, fr there is nt market fr the materials f which they are made. Sme things are recyclable n their wn, but nt when cmbined, such as "paper" cups lined with plastic film. It is hard t blame cnsumers fr feeling increasingly puzzled, he admits
The ther prblem is that residents nly have t separate recyclables frm nn-recyclables Cans, bttles and papers are all thrwn int ne bin. This mix can, t sme degree, be srted at plants like Newby, enabled by clever technlgy which uses ptical sensr;(光电感应器) and magnets t separate materials autmatically. Anyway, these was n match fr humans when it came t srting.
As the vlume f recyclables increased in America and Eurpe, the quality f recycled utput decreased because everything was mixed in tgether. This did nt truble materials. recvery facilities (MRF) peratrs s lng as they wuld fflad their increasingly impure stck abrad. Then China annunced it wuld nt accept any plastics r carbard, and American waste-management cmpanies have been struggling t find what t d with their pr-quality waste.
83. Accrding t the passage, the biggest prblem in rich cuntries caused by lack f prfessinal waste-pickers is that_______.
A. waste cllectrs ften g n strike regardless f peple's needs
B.n ne teaches peple hw t tell apart recyclable and nn-recyclables
C. waste srting by machine is far frm perfect s far
D. citizens fail t deal with waste srting prperly
84. Which f the fllwing best defines the wrd *exempt"(Paragraph 2)?
A. make n charge fr B. set aside
C. fully expect D. set the standard fr
85. What can be inferred frm Mr. Keller's cmments n San Franciscans" recycling ability?
A. Mre advanced waste srting machines will be launched (推出) as sn as pssible.
B. San Franciscans are nt infrmed that there is n need t recycle egg cartns.
C. Recycling ability is nt all abut separating recyclables frm nn-recyclables
D. It's hard fr San Franciscans t change their recycling habits in the new times
86. The paragraph that fllws the passage will be prbably abut_____.
A. the reasn why MFR is nt wrried abut pr-quality waste
B. China's new plicy t keep freign rubbish ut
C. effrts t teach residents hw better t srt their rubbish
D. the cmpnents (成分) f the mixed waste in America
Sectin C
Directins: Cmplete the fllwing passage by using the sentences given belw. Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
A. The bear's death shuld never have happened.
B. The reality, hwever, is cnsiderably mre cmplex.
C. Simply clsing ff these regins is nt the answer.
D. Shuld we be in these envirnments at all?
E. Visitrs ften becme ambassadrs (大使) fr the endangered plar bear.
F. This can be by making financial decisins t cnservatin grups.
The images were shcking, and the reactin was cmpletely predictable. The sight f a plar bear lying hurt n a beach - bld matting the fur f its neck, with ne huge paw flded under its bdy - received immediate criticism glbally: By the shre in the backgrund stand a grup f guides, talking t each ther. One f them had a gun hanging casually n his shulder. This is nt smething that is taken lightly. 87 .
This pwerful image raises questins abut the mtivatins (动机) f this kind f turism r ecturism. 88 . Are there regins in the wrld where nature shuld be left cmpletely untuched? Has ur access t large animals in the wild, ften driven by a desire fr sensatinal images, led these animals t becme accustmed t human cntact? If s, the lser wuld surely pay a heavy price fr such an apprach.
Befre we answer these questins, we wuld cnsider the events that are f glbal cncern. Fr me, I was definitely shcked. I have recently returned frm a trip t Svalbard, and indeed std tw weeks ag n the very beach where the bear was sht. 89 . Was the beach examined frm the ship ffshre befrehand? Was there access t flares (信号弹) t scare ff a bear that appeared suddenly? These are standard measures fr a respectable peratr, and the accident culd be the result f a system failure.
Hwever, images and events shuld nt be used t criticize the cncept f ecturism. Ecturism is an expanding market that brings benefits as well as challenges t the regins arund the wrld in which it perates. 90 . The key is respnsibility and research befre bking. If ecturism is dne prperly, the benefits are immediate and lasting.
