Passage 5

I was travelling alone in Western Australia last year, and one day I set 41 off to climb a high peak in that area. Although in the summer there are many tourists, I was there out of season 42___so________ there weren’t any tour groups. Soon after I reached the top, it began to drizzle and the fog came 43 down . Very soon, it was so thick 44 that I couldn’t even make out the path. I take my phone with me everywhere 45 because you never know when you will need it. Eventually I called my dad, 46 that was 9,000 miles away in the UK. He told me to phone the local emergency services, but I felt 47 so stupid that I didn’t want to.

48 Unluckily , my dad realised this and made up his mind to call them himself. The rescuers called me 49 at my mobile to find out exactly where I was, but unfortunately the battery ran out after five seconds. I lay down under a rock and waited – it was nearly night-time and I was cold and wet. Just as they were about to call off the search for the night, they found me. Fortunately one rescuer had said ‘Let’s try for just five more minutes.’ 50 Unless they had given up, I would have died. Passage 6

Dealing with waste is a huge global problem. Unfortunately, many people don’t usually think much about what happens 51 at their old fridge when they update to the latest model. A few just dump it 52 in the street without another thought.

53 As a result , Britain currently has over a million old fridges rotting in dumps in fields and in warehouses because the country does not have enough equipment to dispose 54_____of_________ them. New European Union regulations say that from 1 January 2002, all material 55 that depletes the ozone layer, such as CFC coolants, must 56_____ be removed from _______ fridges before they are put in landfill sites. It is 57 likely to take quite a while to solve the problem.

But it is not only fridges 58 that are difficult to get rid of. What about old computers, TVs and other hi-tech junk? For example, Guangdong Province, in the southeast of China, has been suffering 59 from problems caused by imported waste electrical goods like computers. Workers there have been breaking up old computers to extract the recyclable parts like chips, and precious metals 60 like gold and platinum.

题目6 1.你刚接到妻子电话2.你不得不回家带小孩上医院看病3.晚上跟老板联系

Dear Mr. Burns,

I’m sorry to say that I cannot attend this afternoon’s meeting. I just received a phone call from my wife. She told me our child has a fever and is coughing all the time. He has refused to eat or drink anything since this morning, so I will have to go back home now and drive them to hospital. I will phone you this evening to discuss my new business plan. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Bob
