CThe new garbage sorting regulation has taken effect in Shanghai starting July 1. Many citizens are still confused about the classification of the four different types o
24、f trash. Thankfully, authorities have released an official guideline to clarify the new rules.The guideline, published by the Shanghai Greenery and Public Sanitation Bureau, provides a rather clear definition on the four kinds of waste: recyclable waste, hazardous (有害的) waste, household food waste a
25、nd residual (剩余的) waste.Hazardous waste, as the name suggests, includes assorted poisonous materials like used batteries, light bulbs, out-of-date medicines, paint and pesticides.Household food waste, which is translated to “wet trash” in Chinese,refers to food leftovers, rotten food, pet food, frui
26、t peels, remains of TCM herbs (中药) and flowers.Paper, plastic, glass, metal and textiles (纺织品) are counted as recyclable waste.The definition of residual waste is a little confusing. Anything that is not listed above belongs in this category.As specific as the new guideline is, residents still have
27、a hard time sorting trash correctly and are finding it challenging to memorize them all. For instance, both plastic bottles and bubble tea or coffee cups are plastic materials. However, the former falls to the category of recyclable waste and the latter belongs to residual waste. To save the hassle,
28、 some netizens have come up with their own ways to sort trash.“We should do this from a pigs angle,” commented one netizen. “Those edible (可食用的) for pigs are household food waste. Those even pigs dont want to eat are residual waste. If a pig consumes something and dies of it, then something must be
29、hazardous waste. Those which can be sold and the money we gain can be used to purchase pigs are recyclable waste.” The new regulation has gone into effect on July 1. Those who do not sort their trash properly will be fined RMB200.28. What do the old thrown-away sweaters belong to?A. Residual waste.B
30、. Hazardous waste.C. Recyclable waste.D. Household food waste.29. What does “wet trash” have in common?A. They are completely wet.B. They all come from plants.C. They can give off bad smell.D. They can break up easily.30. What is the tone of the netizen?A. Humorous. B. Serious. C. Delightful. D. Unc

Citizens in Shanghai welcome the garbage sorting policy.DAs they reach school age, about 90 percent of children wil
32、l have experienced a condition in which fluid (液体) fills the middle ear, muffling (使模糊) sound and sometimes causing infection. The fluid usually clears on its own, but if not, it can lead to a painful ear infection called acute otitis (中耳炎) media. In some cases the fluid can persist for more than a
33、year, causing hearing loss during this period, and slowing down their development of language and social skills.Diagnosis usually requires a visit to a specialistbut researchers have now developed an app that detects this fluid just as accurately, with only a smartphone and a paper funnel (漏斗).Docto
34、rs typically detect the problem by peering into the ear for a visual assessment. Yet, this method has only a 50 percent accuracy rate. “Right now, if you bring your child to a pediatrician, or to any urgent care family doctor, the way they look at whether or not theres fluid in the middle ear is by
35、looking at the eardrum,” says Sharat Raju, a surgeon in the department of head and neck surgery at the University of Washington. For a cheaper and more accessible alternative, researchers at the University of Washington turned to smartphones. First the user follows a template to cut and tape a piece
36、 of paper into a funnel, which can be placed between a smartphone and the patients ear. Next the app plays a chirping sound through the phones speaker; the sound waves bounce off the eardrum and hit the phones microphone, where they register and are analyzed by the app. An eardrum with fluid behind
37、it will vibrate (振动) differently than if the middle ear is full of air, as it normally is.To develop the app, the researchers first played chirps for patients with and without fluid in their ears. They recorded the echoes (回音), which indicate the eardrums mobility. Then they used a machine learning
38、model to classify the returning sound waves, determining which audio characteristics indicated a normal ear and which suggested the presence of fluid. Once they tested the app on 98 children, ranging from 18 months to 17 years old, at Seattle Childrens Hospital. It correctly detected fluid in 85 per
39、cent of cases, and correctly identified fluid-free ears in 82 percent. The researchers are currently trying to get FDA approval for the app, and have founded a company to commercialize it. They hope to make it available by the end of the year, to help parents track childrens ear health at home. 32.
40、What do we know about the fluid from the first paragraph?A. It is mostly part of childrens growth. B. It is unavoidable for any child.C. It is a permanent physical condition.D. It is beyond any medical means. 33. What does the underlined word “pediatrician” refer to in Paragraph 3?A. A hospital. B.
41、A specialist. C. A relative. D. An app. 34. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. The application of the app.B. The causes of the kids ear problem. C. The purpose of developing the app. D. The experiment of the smartphone.35. What do the researchers expect of the app?A. It will upgrade the me
42、dical technology. B. It will hit the market in the near future. C. It will help children do better academically. D. It will save doctors medical operations.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。What does it mean to be intelligent?It seems that everyone goes to college now, w
43、hether or not they find themselves interested in studying something long term. Even though I know there are different ways to be intelligent, I struggle due to societys influence, which maintains that intelligence is quantifiable (可量化的) and that academic intelligence is one and the only.Where do IQ
44、tests come into play when one considers intelligence? Do they fall closest to priority when considering this unquantifiable concept? Intelligence simply cannot be reduced to an IQ test, which are not effective. While designed to measure “intelligence,” all they measure are biological developments th
45、at can change as one grows. 36 There are many factors that can indicate an intelligent being, such as academic intelligence, emotional intelligence, and worldly intelligence. For instance, if a student realizes that they havent studied appropriately for an exam, he or she would have the ability to a
46、cknowledge that, and then make revisions to his or her study habits accordingly. 37 Emotional intelligence is the intelligence that fosters self-awareness, self-reflection, and self-improvement. 38 We cannot function without forming relationships and communication. This proves that being aware of on
47、eself and reflecting in order to further better communication skills is an evidence to intelligence. Where would you be if you were a terrible communicator, unaware, and unwilling to improve, but academically thriving?Emotional intelligence is what surpasses (超越) those who are hard-headed. Those who
48、 maintain academic intelligence may still be a bit dull and unaware of themselves. 39 Even as a college student, there are certain skills such as teamwork and communication that require awareness and an open mind in order to further their growth. 40 Academia is not only pictured and taught unfairly,
49、 or even close to what intelligence is if you were to quantify it. If you want to strive for mental growth, and maintain self-awareness through self-reflection, you can apply that to any intelligence category.A. All of life is communicatory. B. Specifically, this is emotional intelligence. C. Intell
50、igence is determined by many factors.D. Stubbornness is a barrier towards communication. E. In fact, there are many with low IQ scores that are intelligent. F. Some connections exist between intelligence and communication.G. So there is academic intelligence, emotional intelligence, and worldly inte

I could then burst out with joy and happiness when we went out for a visit to some friends or relatives, a picnic, or even a car ride. I think thats one of the reasons why I became such a strong nature lover.
