People do not know what to do with old televisions or computers so they throw them in the trash.National Solid Waste Management Association (NSWMA) state programs director Chaz Miller says the large amount of electronic waste Americans produce is not unexpected.The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items are dumped each year, and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills (垃圾填埋场) and create recycling programs. They can be torn apart and sorted for useable parts. Mike Fannon who runs the plant in Baltimore says, “There are lots of valuable metals that can be recovered and reused instead of just putting them in the landfill, and in certain components（组成部分） there are some materials that should not really be in the landfill. ”Fannon says nearly 20 percent of electronic waste is recycled nationwide. Thirteen years ago, it was only about 6 percent. Recycling rates continue to rise as more communities have banned electronics from landfills in order to keep e-waste poisons like lead (铅) and mercury (汞) out of garbage dumps.This year several states like Vermont imposed(强加) a ban on electronic waste in landfills. More than 25 other states have also adopted bans on e-waste in landfills. Chaz Miller saysmore can be done to boost electronic waste recycling.“We can do much better,” noted Miller. “I think clearly our goal should be to do as well as we do recycling newspapers.”25. Which of the following does NOT belong to e-waste?A. Old televisions.B. Old computers.C. Old cell phones.D. Old newspapers.26. Why is e-waste banned from landfills in many states?A. Because it can not be recycled.B. Because the landfills are already full.C. Because it might damage the environment.D. Because it can be shipped to other countries.27. According to Mike Fannon, what might be the best way of dealing with e-waste?A. Recycling it.B. Selling it.C. Burying it.D. Breaking it.28. What can we learn from the passage?A. Chaz Miller works for EPA.B. Miller is optimistic about the future of e-waste.C. At present, less than 10 percent of e-waste is recycled.D. All states in the US have banned e-waste from landfills.C.Are you looking for some new and exciting places to take your kids to? Try some of these places:Visit art museums.

In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.The same is in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward others’ stare at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to move his gaze, his intention is obvious; that is, he wishes to attract her attention and to make her understand that he is admiring her.However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time in order to make sure that the listener doespay attention to what the former is saying, to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate you, you will feel uncomfortable. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. Quite the contrary.In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words cannot express.Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and specific situation.33. Which of the following behaviour is proper according to the passage?A．To the opposite, stare at him or her.B．To a stranger, avoid looking at him or her.C．In a conversation, look at the listener all the time.D．Make eye contact depending on the relationship and different situation.34. How can we tell if someone possibly lying?A．If he looks at you directly in the eye for too long. B. If he looks honest.C．If he looks at you occasionally. D．If he looks attentive.35. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Body language is important.B. Eye can tell a liar.C. Eye can speak.D. Eye contact benefits you.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
