Your phone shuts down randomly.You have to charge it constantly.And you can barely see the screen through a spiderweb of cracks.Time for a new phone.But what should you do with the old one?The number one rule:never throw it in a garbage can or recycle bin.It might start a fire or even explode.
   Smartphones contain lithium-ion batteries.So do tablets,laptop computers,electric cars,and many other devices,including some cameras,headphones,power tools,and more.These batteries offer the most energy for their size compared to other batteries.But if a lithium-ion battery gets damaged,it may overheat,leading to flames,fire,or even an explosion.
   In 2017,cleaners in New York City threw an innocent-looking cardboard box into their garbage truck.When the truck's compactor (垃圾搗碎機(jī)) squeezed the box and a battery hidden inside —BOOM!The battery exploded.The workers managed to take out the box and throw it in a puddle (水坑),putting out the flames.But explosions and fires are on the rise at recycling centers around the world,and lithium-ion batteries are usually to blame.
   To safely get rid of a device that contains these batteries,take it to an electronics recycler.You can search for a drop-off location at call2 recycle.org.
   Even professionals have trouble handling some devices.Isauro Flores-Hernandez takes apart electronics at Cascade Asset Management in Madison,Wisconsin.Safely removing the battery from one iPad took him 40 minutes.
   Many tech companies are more concerned about selling new devices than repairing or recycling old ones.They make more money that way.So they tend not to make it easy to break down their products.It may cost more to take the item apart than the materials inside are worth.That's a deal-breaker for recycling centers.If an item is too tough to break down,it will go into a landfill.Do you think tech companies should do more to support safe and easy recycling?

C

D

A.To prove cleaners are not professional.
B.To note lithium-ion batteries cause fires easily.
C.To show lithium-ion batteries are pretty dangerous.
D.To reveal the importance of dealing with batteries properly.
(4)What can be inferred about tech companies?
A
A

  • 2.Shawn Seipler is on the way to saving lives with soap.It began about seven years ago as a tiny business with a few friends and family in a single car garage in Florida,where they recycled used soap into fresh bars.The organization,now called Clean the World,has grown to include cities where hotels are plentiful and used bars of soap can be gathered easily.
       As a frequent traveler while working for a tech company,Seiler had a sudden thought one night at a hotel."I picked up the phone and called the front desk and asked them what happened to the bar of soap when I was done using it." he recalled.Learning that they would go to the dustbin,he began his task to help save lives with soap and even half-used bottles of shampoo.It's a huge problem.One of the most common kinds of illnesses in the world are those that are passed from person to person and to oneself because of dirty things that are on one's hands.
       In the U.S.and other developed nations,hygiene(衛(wèi)生)products are everywhere.Not so in some other countries,where Seipler recalled visiting a hospital once in the Middle East to find that soap was in such short supply that patients had to provide their own. "It's such an important part of the interruption of infectious germs that could save so many lives," he said.
       Clean the World now collects used soap from more than 4,000 hotels and has delivered 25 million bars to 99 countries.The process is fairly simple with the collected soap being cut into pieces and then run through machines that remove any remaining bacteria before being pressed into new bars of soap and packaged for delivery.

    (1)Shawn Seipler got the idea of collecting seconding soap
    .
    A.by chance
    B.from the front desk
    C.a(chǎn)fter calling his friend
    D.a(chǎn)fter visiting the Middle East
    (2)How do hotels deal with used soap traditionally?

    A.They sell it.
    B.They save it.
    C.They drop it.
    D.They recycle it.
    (3)What can be learned from Paragraph 3?

    A.Soap isn't fully appreciated.
    B.Soap can prevent many illnesses.
    C.Soap is needed in developed countries.
    D.Soap means little to developing countries.
    (4)Which of the following can best describe Shawn Seiler?

    A.Determined and optimistic.
    B.Friendly and open-minded.
    C.Warm-hearted and creative.
    D.Hard-working and ambitious.

  • 3.Paper is one of our oldest,simplest and most important inventions.But it also presents a danger to the world in two significant ways.
       First,the making of paper requires the loss of millions of trees each year.Between 2001 and 2019,the world lost 386 million hectares of forest.(1)
    And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years.Clearly,the planet cannot sustain such a high rate of forest loss.The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful.A huge quantity of wastepaper ends up in dumps and landfills,where it can produce harmful gases.(2)

       One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems:paper recycling.Paper is mainly made from cellulose(纖維素),which makes up the cell walls of trees and many other plants.(3)
    So far,trees are the only source of cellulose that can fill the massive demand for paper products.Therefore,recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees.
       (4)
    It now can offer the same print performance as non- recycled paper.
       Effective recycling requires a consistent effort.(5)
    Once enough people realize the need for recycling,more effective recycling systems can be carried out.The massive loss of trees affects everybody on earth.Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industries to do the same.

    A.The way to begin is with education and understanding.
    B.Paper-recycling produces cellulose to make more paper.
    C.Harmful paper in landfills results in global climate change.
    D.Of the trees that were cut down,42%went to paper production.
    E.Because of its structure,cellulose can be used repeatedly in papermaking.
    F.The gas released is called methane which is a significant contributor in global warming.
    G.Thanks to advances in processing,recycled paper isn't the dull-colored stuff we are familiar with any more.
