32、istic ) about our chances of success.閱讀The definition of recycling is to pass a substance（物質(zhì)）through a system that enables that substance to be reused. Waste recycling involves the collection of waste materials and the separation and clean-up of those materials. Recycling waste means that fewer new

33、products need to be produced, saving raw materials and reducing energy consumption. In the UK, the household and commercial sectors have relatively low recycling rates. This is in comparison to some other wastes, such as construction waste（建筑廢渣料）and sewage（下水道）sludge（淤泥）. The government is hoping to

34、 increase the amount of household waste that we recycle to 33by 2015. Some of the materials that we can recycle include paper, plastics, metals and tyres. The paper industry generates vast quantities of waste in the form of paper off-cuttings and damaged paper rolls. This paper can be put back into

35、the pulping（制漿）process and recycled. Paper recycling in the UK became popular during the 1990s. Nearly a million tons of paper from household waste is now recycled each year. Although paper makes up over one third of all household waste recycled, this is still no more than about 10% of the total pap

36、er consumed. In contrast, over 50% of waste paper produced by the newspaper industry is currently being recycled. To encourage the public to recycle waste paper, many councils have arranged house-to-house collection schemes（安排）. Separate bins and containers are provided specifically for paper. They

37、are collected at regular intervals（間隔）and taken to be recycled. Other recycling depots（庫(kù)房）for paper can be found at municipal centers and supermarkets. Approximately 6% to 8% of the UK household waste comprises of glass jars and bottles. However, the largest producers of waste glass bottles are hote

38、ls and pubs, as the vast majority of drinks are bottled. A large proportion of glass is collected in bottle banks（玻璃瓶回收站）and taken to be recycled. There are over 20,000 bottle banks in the UK, and they are mainly found in car parks and at supermarkets. There are usually three bottle banks, one for e

39、ach colour of glass clear, green and brown. The UK currently recycles about one third of its glass. This is far behind glass recycling rates in other European countries. Switzerland and the Netherlands for example have recycling rates as high as 80%. Plastics make up a large amount of waste, since t

40、hey are available in numerous forms. There are two main types of plastic：thermoplastics（熱塑性塑料），which are the most common; and thermosetts（熱固樹(shù)脂）. Thermoplastics melt when heated and can therefore be remoulded（重鑄）. This enables thermoplastics to be recycled relatively easily. In Western Europe the lar

41、gest amounts of plastic occur in the form of packaging. Plastic waste tends to be sorted by hand, either at a materials recycling facility or the householder can separate it. This may then be taken to a plastic recycling point or collected by the council. The UK produces approximately about 4.5 mill

42、ion tomes of plastic waste each year. Most of this waste arises from packaging. The UK has a plastics recycling rate of only 3. In Germany the recycling rate for plastic is 70%. The UK has a recycling rate of approximately 60% for iron and steel. Most of this waste comes from scrap（廢棄的）vehicles, coo

43、kers, fridges and other kitchen appliances. It is estimated that the metal content of household waste is between 5and 10%. It is mainly made up of aluminium（鋁）drinks cans and tin-plated steel food cans. Aluminium recycling is widely established in the UK. It is an expensive metal and can therefore p

44、roduce high incomes for recycling schemes. Copper, zinc and lead are also recycled in the UK. At present, over a third of aluminium drinks cans are recycled. Some other countries have very high recycling figures for aluminium drinks cans. The USA and Australia for example, recycle nearly two thirds.

45、 Every year in the UK between 25 and 30 million scrap tyres are generated. Approximately 21of these tyres are retreaded（翻新）and reused. The old tread is ground off the tyre and replaced with a new tread. However, about half of all used tyres are dumped in landfill sites throughout the country. Other

46、tyres may be incinerated（燒棄）. Directions: Decide whether the following statements agree with the information given in the text.

48、t to farmers in many parts of the world is erosion. Erosion occurs if a large area of land is cleared of trees and is then badly treated by the farmer. The rain and winds may gradually wash away, or blow away, much of the top soil. When this happens, crops of wheat or corn become weaker and weaker u

49、ntil nothing grows well. If erosion continues, it will turn good land into a desert.In the past, when erosion appeared, farmers sometimes moved to a new place to farm. Sometimes they could not move, but continued to try to grow food in the unhealthy soil. This caused them to sink into poverty. Soon

50、some people realized that there was little rich, fertile soil in the world. Government began to try to stop erosion.One of the first experiments to stop erosion began in the United States in 1933. The experiment was carried out in the area of the Tennessee River. Floods and bad farming in this area

51、had ruined land that had once been rich. As a result, most of the people living around the Tennessee River were very poor.The government built big dams across the river and stored the water for use during the dry season when there was no rain. The government workers also helped farmers to fertilize

52、their soil and to learn new farming methods which could stop erosion.At the beginning, the farmers wee not interested. But soon, good healthy crops began to appear on the land where new methods were used, ten years after the experiment began the Tennessee River area had become extremely prosperous.

53、The great success of this experiment had led similar projects in the other parts of the worldDirections: Choose the best answer to each of the questions or unfinished statements according to the passage.1. The word “erosion” in the first paragraph means _. A) the cleaning of trees B) excessive use of the land C
