But there is a new mobile game that may change your opinion about it, and you might even learn something while you play it-Meet Sortee.Meet Sortee is a puzzle game developed by Flow Studio, a UK company. It makes you think deeply about everyday objects(物体)and their meanings.The rule of the game is quite simple. Two bins are placed on either side of the screen. Each of the bins has a label(标签)next to it and the label explains what it is for. When an object, such as a car or an apple, appears on the screen, you need to decide which bin it should be sorted into and then send it there by moving your finger.The game seems easy enough at first. But as you move on to more levels, it gets harder. The number of bins increases(增长)to three or four and the time given gets shorter. You need to think and move faster. That can be really difficult.There are 400 objects in total and more than 100 bins in the game. The more objects you correctly sort, the more game coins' you can get. It's a bit like working in a rubbish recycling center, but it has no bad smell.You can download the free game from Apple's app store(苹果软件下载中心)，but it only lets you play the first few levels. If you want to open the next 40 levels, you need to pay 6 yuan for the full game.26. The passage is probably taken from .A. a postcardB. a newspaperC. a comic bookD. a novel27.

What's the best title of the passage?A. A mobile gameB. Rubbish sortingC. Apple's app storeD. A recycling centerBDid you know that each day one person in the US throws away 4.4 pounds of rubbish? Almost every month, we throw away our own rubbish in packaging alone. Packaging ( including boxes, bags, etc) comes to our homes with the things we have bought. Several weeks ago, the TV news said that in a city in Italy, tons of rubbish were piled up in the streets, and the smell was rather terrible. What can we do to help? We should get to know the following Rs.To reduce means to make less rubbish That is one of the first things we all should do for the environment. Reduce your rubbish by doing things like packing your lunch in reusable containers(可再利用的容器)，taking smaller potions(份)at dinner so you don't waste food when you have had enough, writing on both sides of paper, and using less water when taking a shower.To reuse is to use things again. Think about the bags you get from the store. They can be reused to carry your lunch, to hold your rubbish, or to collect used cans. You can even take them back to the store the next time to carry your things instead of getting a new bag!Recycling is an important part of keeping our planet clean and green. It can also save energy. Be sure that you don't throw things in the rubbish that can be recycled to make something else. Paper, plastic, cans and bottles can all be recycled, but food, electrical waste and mobile phones can't. When you are not sure whether something can be recycled, go to your parents and teachers for advice.Follow the three Rs, and every one of us can do something to save the Earth. It is also the best way to save ourselves.31. The first paragraph of the passage implies(暗示) that .A. packaging should be given upB. Italy is too dirty for us to visitC. the US produces most rubbishD. the Earth is becoming dirtier32. The writer seems to ask people to reuse the bags .A. only as rubbish bagsB. only for carrying other thingsC. mainly to have a cleaner worldD. mainly to save some money33. Which of the following can be recycled?A. Food and bottles.B. Books and newspapers.C. Paper and mobile phones.D. Plastic and electrical waste.34. The passage mainly tells us that .A. all useless things can be recycledB. the environment is greatly improvingC. the three Rs can help us clean the EarthD. we should never throw any rubbish awayCWaste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources, we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can I moves Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example,turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.35. Which is NOT mentioned in this passage?A. Fresh water.B. Forest.C. Oil.D. Coal.36.

Waste brings problems.B. Waste can bring no problem.C. China is rich in fresh water.D. Students never waste things.DNow more and more parents have their children learn to play music. They think musicians have a lot of advantages. They get much satisfaction from playing music and they can use their skills to make a good living. Now, a new research suggests that musicians benefit in another way: they are better at learning languages.Some researchers in Hong Kong made the research. It showed that children who were studying music had better memories in learning languages than children who were not. Ninety boys, aged six to fifteen, were tested on their ability to remember words from a list. Half of them were learning to play musical instruments(乐器)，while the other half were not. The researchers found that the children who were studying music had much better verbal memory. The longer they studied music, the better their memories were.Studying music seemed to help the brain develop in ways that helped it process information, although the researchers were not sure why. In any case, improved verbal memory is very helpful to the children, and seems to make it easier to learn foreign languages.38. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Parents think musicians can get a lot of satisfaction from playing music.B. Parents think musicians can live a good life.C. Music is very popular now.D. More and more children are learning music now.39. What did the research show?A. Half of the children were learning to play musical instruments.B. All children were better at learning languages.C.
