(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)Ronny’s BookRonny looked like every other kid in the first-grade classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mom. However, Ronny was different from his classmat es in other ways. He had a speech problem so he couldn’t 16 like other kids in his grade.I worked with all the students in Ronny’s class one by one to improve their reading skills. On the days when it was Ronny’s 17 , I’d give him a silent smile, and he’d fly out of his chair. He sat very close to me and opened the book as if he was opening a treasure nobody had ever seen.I watched his 18 move slowly under each letter as he struggled (努力) to read out. Every time he 19 to read a word with a strange pronunciation, the biggest smile would spread across his face and his eyes would shine with 20 . It broke my heart each and every time.A few weeks 21 the school year ended, I held an awards ceremony (颁奖典礼). I22 Ronny with a book — one of those Little Golden Books that only cost $5. Tears ran down his face as he held the book close to him and went 23 to his seat. I stayed with the class for the rest of the day. Ronny never let go of (放开) the 24 , not once. It never left his hands.A few days later, I returned to the school to visit. I 25 Ronny on a chair near the playground, the book open in his lap. His teacher said, “He hasn’t put that book down since you gave it to him. Do you know that’s his 26 bo ok he’s ever actually owned?”Keeping back my tears, I walked towards Ronny, placed my hand on his shoulder and aske d, “Will you read me your book, Ronny?” And then, for the next few minutes, he read to me more27 than I’d ever thought possible from him. The pages were already dog-eared (卷角的), like the book had been read thousands of 28 already. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction(满意), “29 book!”What a powerful contribution the writer of that Little Golden Book had made in the life of a disadvantaged child. At that moment, I knew I would become 30 about my own writing and do what that writer had done, and probably still does —care enough to write a story that changes a child’s life, c are enough to make a difference.16.

Local people not only sort（分类）their rubbish, but also put QR codes（二维码）on it."When the rubbish is collected and the codes are seen, I will get reward point to exchange for small gifts and even some money," one of the local people told reporters. "It's really creative and encouraging."The smart system has been carried out in 350 communities in Beijing. The capital of China has joined a list of cities in the country that take actions to support rubbish sorting. For example, Shenzhen and Shanghai have made laws to punish people and organizations for not sorting rubbish correctly.China produces quite a lot of rubbish every year. Much of the rubbish is buried（填埋）in soil or burned without being sorted. Landfills（填埋场）take up a lot of land and have a risk of polluting the soil and water nearby. And burning rubbish can prod e harmful gases. Through rubbish sorting, we can reduce the use of landfills and air pollution.What's more, rubbish sorting saves resources, which could bring economic benefits, for example, a ton of waste paper can be reused to make about 850kg of paper, saving 17 trees and 50 percent of water. Because of their benefits, some countries have developed successful sorting systems.Japan has a strict and detailed system. When people throw away a water bottle, the cap, the wrapper（包装纸）and the bottle itself have to go into three different bins. Every year, families receive special rubbish sorting timetables and directions from their local governments. They are advised to follow the timetables and directions when they throw away rubbish.In Australia, every family is provided with three rubbish bins—the red lid（盖子）bin for "general waste" like food and plastic bags, the yellow lid bin for "recycling" like steel and glass, and the green lid bin for "green waste" such as grass and leaves. On the streets, the bins are printed with pictures of the things that are allowed inside. It makes recycling quite easy.（1）What will local people probably get if they put daily rubbish into the new system in Fangchengyuan Community?A. A computer.B. A car.C. A lot of money.D. Some small gifts.（2）Which of the following is NOT the consequence（后果）of burying rubbish?A. Polluting soil.B. Polluting water.C. Taking up a lot of land.D. Saving resources.（3）Which paragraph discusses the economic benefits of rubbish sorting?A. Paragraph 3.B. Paragraph 4.C. Paragraph 5.D. Paragraph 6.（4）In Australia, which bin should you put food left after dinner in?A. The red lid bin.B. The yellow lid bin.C. The green lid bin.D. The black lid bin.（5）Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. In Australia, the green lid bin is used for all kinds of recyclable（可回收的）wastes.B. In Japan, all kinds of things for recycling are printed on rubbish bins.C. Japanese people cannot throw a bottle into a bin if they don't move away the wrapper first.D.
