Suddenly, a man rushed up to the driver’s side window, trying to rob her truck.However, the man didn’t know that this woman simply wasn’t your normal kind of grandma. This was Nancy Johnson—who owned a big farm in Texas, drove her own truck and had even shot a snake recently.With one hand in his pocket, the man said, “Get out of the truck. I have a gun and I will shoot you.”To his surprise, Grandma saw it as a joke. “If you really had a gun in your pocket, you would have pulled it out,” she said, looking the man straight in the eye.She was right. The man didn’t have a gun. So he wildly grabbed her through the window and tried to pull her out of the truck. With the door now open, Grandma started kicking the man anywhere her foot could reach. After about 5 minutes’ fighting, the man wanted to release her and run. But Grandma wouldn’t agree. It was now her turn to grab him. People around rushed to her. Together, they caught the man.At first, we grandkids were very angry with her, “Grandma, don’t you realize you could have gotten yourself killed?” But we all learned an important lesson from her that day—the same lesson that had been there through the years.She would push us out of the house at 8:00a.m., telling us to be back at dark. She taught us how to climb into the truck, which seemed frightening yet exciting. She taught us fearlessness.4.

After arriving at the airport, you might be told that you can’t take your suitcase on the airplane. Where does it go? What happens to your suitcase?Baggage handling systems differ from airport to airport, but they have three main jobs. First, they carry your baggage to the airplane that you’ll be flying on. Secondly, you may have to change airplanes in your trip. At this time, they move your baggage to the new airplane. Finally, the systems move your baggage from the airplane to a central collection area at the end of your journey.In 2018, about 24,800,000 bags were lost or damaged around the world. It seems like a big number. But you won’t think so when you compare it with the number of all passengers in the same year: 4,360,000,000 people. If each passenger brings at least one bag, only 0.6% of all bags were lost or damaged. Besides, only 5% of all missing baggage was not finally returned to their owners.If you truly lost your baggage, it may end up at one place: the Unclaimed Baggage Center(UBC). At UBC, all things are divided into three groups: things sold in the store, trash, and things given away to organizations for helping the poor. About 7,000 new things arrive every day. These include clothes, personal computers, guitars, etc. Only the best things are chosen to be sold again. And they can be sold at 20%-80% off.New technology is helping airlines and passengers to keep a closer eye on their baggage during their journeys. Besides, there are also a few steps passengers can take to watch their baggage…8. What does the second paragraph tell us?A. Where you can find your baggage.B. Where baggage is put on the airplane.C.

People do not know what to do with old televisions or computers so they throw them in the trash.National Solid Waste Management Association( NSWMA) state programs director Chaz Miller says the large amount of electronic waste Americans produce is not unexpected.The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items are dumped each year, and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills(垃圾填埋场) and create recycling programs. They can be torn apart and sorted for usable parts. Mike Fannon who runs the plant in Baltimore says, "There are lots of valuable metals that can be recovered and reused instead of just putting them in the landfill, and in certain components there are some materials that should not really be in the landfill.”Fannon says nearly 20% of electronic waste is recycled nationwide. Thirteen years ago, it was only about 6%. Recycling rates continue to rise as more communities have banned electronics from landfills in order to keep e-waste poisons like lead (铅) and mercury (汞) out of garbage dumps.This year several states like Vermont imposed a ban on electronic waste in landfills. More than 25 other states have also adopted bans on e-waste in landfills. Chaz Miller says more can be done to boost electronic waste recycling.“We can do much better,” noted Miller. “I think clearly our goal should be to do as well as we do recycling newspapers.”12. Which of the following does NOT belong to e-waste?A. Old computers.B. Old cell phones.C. Old newspapers.D. Old televisions.13. Why is e-waste banned from landfills in many states?A.

According to Mike Fannon, what might be the best way of dealing with e-waste?A. Selling it.B. Recycling it.C. Burying it.D. Breaking it.15. What can we lean from the passage?A. Miller is optimistic about the future of e-waste.B. At present, less than 10% e-waste is recycled.C. All states in the US have banned e-waste from landfills.D. Chaz Miller works for EPA.第二节七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
