题文

A new factory that turns ud wine bottles into green sand could revolutionize the recycling industry and help to filter（过滤）the nation's drinking water.For the last 100 years special high grade white sand quarried（开采）at Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire has been ud to filter tap water to remove bacteria and impurities—but this may no longer be necessary.The green sand has already been successfully tested by water companies and is being ud in 50 swimming pools in Scotland to keep the water clean.Backed by one million pounds from the European Union and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs(Defar),a company bad in Scotland is building a factory to turn beverage bottles back into the sand from which they were made.The idea is not only to avoid using up increasingly scarce sand in Scotland and avoid any further quarrying but also to solve a crisis in the recycles only 750 000 tones of it.Howard Dryden, the scientist and managing director of the company has spent six years working on what he calls Active Filtration Meadia, or AFM, the recycled glass. He says he needs bottles that have already contained drinkable liquids to be sure that drinking water would not be polluted."The fact is that tests show that AFM does the job better than glass, it is easier to clean and reu and has all sorts of properties that make it ideal for other applications, "he claimed. He also thinks the market will be able to take 250 000 tones of green sand a year. The plan is to build five or six factories in cites in UK where the bottles come from to cut down on transport.The factory will be completed this month and is expected to go into full production on January 14 next year. once it is providing a "regular" product, the government's drinking water inspectorate will be asked to perform tests and approve it for general u by water companies.小题1:It may no longer be necessary to u high-grade white sand to keep water clean becau_____.A．there is no need to keep water cleanB．A new factory has been t upC．The green sand has been ud to keep the water cleanD．White sand is being u up小题2:According to the passage ,the new idea can do the following except_____.A．avoiding using up increasingly scarce sandB．avoiding further quarrying of white sandC．solving the crisis in the recycling industryD．cutting down the cost on transport小题3:Tests show that ______ in keeping the water clean.A．AFM is more efficient than white sandB．AFM is more efficient than glassC．glass is more efficient than AFMD．white sand is more efficient than green sand小题4:The underlined word "Backed" in the third paragraph can best be replaced by"_____".A．AllowedB．OppodC．SupportedD．Forbidden小题5:What would be the best title for the passage?A．Revolution in the Recycling for the Industry.B．Modern Technology an New Markets.C．Revolution in Environmental Protection.D．Unlocking the Benefits of Green Sand. 题型：未知难度：其他题型

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“A new factory that t.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
