Environmentalists and local governments are increasingly concerned
about the
toxic hazard posed by old electronic devices and
the cost of safely recycling those products. An estimated 6 million
televisions and computers are stocked in California homes, and an
additional 6,000 to 7,000 computers become outdated every day. The
machines contain high levels of lead and other hazardous
substances, and are already banned from California
landfills

To solve the problem, it’s necessary to take the following
measures. First, laws and regulations must be made to restrict
excessive packaging of companies. In addition, we need to
raise consumer’s awareness that excessive packaging doesn’t equal
to high quality and
advocate packaging recycling.
The first reason is that a large number of companies believe that
they can attract customers’ attention and stimulate their
purchasing desire by over-packaging their goods, thus gaining more
profits. On the other hand, quite a number of consumers mistakenly
hold that the more
delicate the package is, the better the
quality will be, thus encouraging
excessive packaging.

Public distrust of scientists stems in part from the blurring of
boundaries between science and technology, between discovery and
manufacture. Most government, perhaps all governments,
justify public expenditure on scientific research in terms

For most of the 20th century, Asia asked itself what it could learn
from the modern,
innovating West. Now the question must be
reversed. What can the West’s overly indebted and sluggish
(经济滞长的) nations learn from a
flourishing Asia?
6. To

shrinking labour force,
Japan would need ______.
[A] to

[B] large numbers of immigrants from overseas
[C] to automate its manufacturing and service industries
[D] a politically feasible policy concerning population
Laws have been written to govern the use of American National Flag,
and to ensure proper respect for the flag. Custom has also governed
the common practice in regard to its use. All the armed services
have
precise regulations on how to display the national
flag. This may vary somewhat from the general rules.

I’ve been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without
Teachers introduced me to one
distinction and one practice
that has helped my writing processes tremendously. The distinction
is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need
to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in
parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.
60. In Etzioni’s view, the latest rash of corporate scandals could

B) the executives’ lack of knowledge in legally manipulating

C) the increasingly fierce competition in the modern business
world
D) the moral
corruption of business school
graduates（A）

obstacles in
the way of foreign investors and foreign goods?

soar beyond
control.
B) The investors will have to make great efforts to re-allocate
capital.
C) The wealthy will attempt to buy foreign companies across
borders.
D) Foreign countries will place the same economic
barriers in return.
The same is true for food. Prices
fluctuate, in response to
harvests, natural disasters and political instability; and when
they rise, it takes some time before new sources of supply become
available.
For many families the
recession means more than not booking
a holiday A YouGov poll of 2, 000 people found 22% said they were
arguing more with their partners because of concerns about
money.
There are good reasons to be troubled by the violence that spreads
throughout the media. Movies, Television and video games are full

with a society that presents videos of
domestic violence as
entertainment.

randomly assigned interracial roommates were no longer

semester, compared with

together, and had fewer joint activities than the white
pairs.
Children in both double-income and “male breadwinner”
households spent comparable amounts of time interacting with

criteria for measuring farming
progress
D) To
urge people to rethink what sustainable
agriculture is

prejudice and
compel students to
engage in more
ethnically diverse friendships.
An Ohio State University study also found that black students
living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout
their college careers.
60.

edieval agriculture in northern Europe fed, clothed and

confrontation in the United States
B) can encourage black children to keep up with white
children
C) may seriously
aggravate racial
discrimination in
the United States
D) can help black parents make decisions about their children’s
education
Even in the world of make-believe, black women still can’t escape
the
stereotype of being eye-rolling, oversexed females
raised by our never-married, alcoholic (酗酒的) mothers.
Somehow the old male and female
stereotypes no longer fit.
Men and women in this country haven’t been fulfilling their

been taking over more responsibility in the business world, earning
higher salaries than ever before and entering fields of work that
used to be
exclusively male areas.

The American economy used to
thrive on
immigration but now it's a different story.
C)
The consensus among economists is that
immigration should not be encouraged.
D)
The general public thinks differently from most
economists on the impact of immigration.
At the heart of the debate over illegal immigration lies one key
question: are immigrants good or bad for the economy? The American
public overwhelmingly thinks they're bad. Yet the
consensus
among most economists is that immigration, both legal and illegal,
provides a small net
boost to the economy.
Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all
do the trick, but the biggest longevity (长寿)
boost seems to
come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect was
first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and
widowers (鳏夫) were at a much higher risk of dying than their
married
peers.
11.
A) They are delighted because they can enjoy the
