Passage 1 (2015 广东，B)It is reported that some developed countries have shipped broken parts of computers to China.Such a thing can be can be found almost every day although it is against international laws. Last month Hong Kong officers found 131,000 kilograms of broken computers, TVs and phones sent from Japan.Things like these are called electronic waste, or e-waste. Dealing with them is not an easy job because dangerous poisons like mercury (汞) and lead (铅) can be found in them. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs to be dealt with safely. But at present, broken computer parts are usually buried. It maybe hundreds of years before they are really gone in the earth.Many places in China are polluted by e-waste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as”the e-waste capital of the world”. It has to deal with 1.5 million kilograms of e-waste every year, from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost. Many of the poisons in e-waste find their way into environment. Plastic is burned outdoors and chemical water is poured into rivers. Greenpeace, an environmental group, has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.The Chinese government wants the country to develop, but in a way that doesn’t do harm to the environment and people’s life. This year, China passed a new environmental protection law, the strictest one we have ever had Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. This is because the companies that make computers know best how to deal with them safely. Hopefully, the problem with e-waste will be solved in the near future.1.The e-waste found in Hong Kong last month was from .A. FranceB. JapanC. GermanyD.

On their own,the two are “disabled”. But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North China’s Hebei Province into a rich, green forest. Meet 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia wenqi!Their story began in 2000, when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eyes, lost his left one after an illness. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither could find a job, so the two decided to team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee.Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundred of birds and many other wild animals. In addition, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season.When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7a.m. When the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Since they can not afford to buy some trees to plant, the two use branches from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the treetop and with Wenqi’s direction, selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area.Though hard-working, the men don’t make much money. But as Wenqi puts it,“We stand on our own feet, so the fruit of our work tast sweeter.”Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together, they already have everything they need--a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world!Passage4(2015广东广州，B)Most of us could probably live without vegetables, but a world without chocolate? Now that would be hard! According to chocolate markers it could happen if we don’t act soon.There are two main causes of the chocolate shortage---chocolate’s growing popularity and less production of cocoa, the plant from which chocolate is made. With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate, not much can be doneabout the first cause.Therefore, the only thing we can do is to increase cocoa production. However, a new plant diseases, little rain in Ivory Coast and Ghana, the world’s largest producers, have reduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past ten years. What’s worse, many cocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoa--producting countries like Indonesia and Venezuela are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber. This way, the farmers can make more money.To prevent more farmers from changing, researchers at the newly opened International Cocoa Control Centre, in the UK, are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger and faster growing. But first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow. This takes a long time.First, each new plant is stored at the Control Centre for six months to make sure it is healthy. It is then planted in the Centre’s fields, studied and tested for another two years. Only after scientists are certain that they are diseases-free, will the plants be sent to farmers in West Africa or wherever else they are needed.To creat new stronger types of cocoa, scientists at the Centre are combining the best parts from different cocoa plants. Though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage, there is now hope!Passage 5(2015广东广州，D)NATIONALGEOGRAPHIC News Video Photography The Magazine Enviroment Travel Adventure TelevisionMain Stories*Controlling the MekongThe 5,000 km long Mekong River provides China with fresh fish when it flows and electricity when it’s dammed.* Dolphin intelligence300 of these social animals have been studied for over 30 years by Dr. Denise Herzing.Find out What she discovered about dolphin communication and what dolphin says. * A Day in New YorkIt was once a city that people feared.
