训练32 第三部分：阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 A Recycling is nothing new． Waste paper, rings, and many other things have been recycled and used again in many different ways for many years． It is only the word that is new． But now that natural materials（原料）are becoming more difficult to find, many countries are experimenting with other ways of keeping materials． In the U. S. A, a publishing firm has brought out several books on pollution and waste in the United States． The books are made of recycled paper—that is paper that has been used as paper before． In this way, several thousand trees are saved． Multiply（乘） those books by hundred, or even a thousand, and the whole forests are saved． One clever schoolboy has worked it out that if every schoolbook in the U．S．A． was recycled, there would be enough paper for fifty packets of peanuts（花生）for every child in the world for five years． He does not say where the peanuts are to come from． Several firms are experimenting with making containers（集装箱）from a hard plastic which, when the containers are finished, can be used as building materials, a kind of brick． If mountains of empty cans all over the world can be changed into building materials that are not too expensive, that too, is a new source（来源）of material． 1．What is recycling？It is ________． A．to invent something B．to produce and make C．to use materials for the second time D．to discover and use 2．Since natural materials are becoming ______, people are finding ways of making use of the waste materials．
A．more valuable B．more useful C．more expensive D．more difficult to find 3．From the passage, children are more likely to reuse ________． A．the paper for schoolbooks B．packets of peanuts C．containers D．plastic 4．The writer guesses that ________． A．people will pay less and less money for the house B．children will have more and more peanuts to eat C．there will be empty cans all over the mountain D．people will no longer need to build a house
B You can use our Business Telecard International at any card phone in the United Kingdom． Here is some information about making international phone calls． You can now phone almost any country in the world, although in some cases you can only call big cities． When you can’t make direct dialing calls, you can ask the international operator to help you． This is more expensive and takes more time, but it may be helpful． If you want to speak to a particular person and no one else, in this case you should ask for a “person-to-person” call． Even more expensive is a reserve（留下）charge call, where the person who receives the call pays． If the international line is busy, you can reserve a call to explain the number you want and the operator will call back when the line is free． You can save money by calling outside office hours, for example, early in the morning, late at night and on Sundays． Remember that the time may be different in the country you are calling． International time is based on GMT（Greenwich Mean Time）． London is on GMT and Moscow, for example, is 3 hours ahead． There is one problem: change to DST（Daylight Saving Time）for the summer． In the UK, clocks are put forward one hour in spring and put back in autumn, and so London is actually one hour ahead of GMT in the summer． 5．__________ is the most expensive type of call． A．Direct dialing call B．Calling through the operator C．Reserving charge call D．Calling outside office hours 6．When is it cheaper to make an international call？ A．10 a. m． B．5 p. m． C．11 p. m． D．8 a. m． 7．Moscow is __________ hours ahead of London during the summer． A．one B．two C．three D．four 8．If you want to use Business Telecard International, you have to __________ ． A．use a card phone B．make a direct dialing call C．phone on Sunday D．pay extra
