There are reports that some developed countries have shipped broken parts of computers to China. Such a thing can be found 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 Hapan.
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 may be hundreds of years before they are really gone in the earth.
Many places in China are polluted by e-waste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province in 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 each 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 the 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 presents 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.
50. The town of Guiyu in Guangdong Province .
A. is the e-capital of the world
B. has serious e-waste pollution
C. deals with the e-waste safely
D. spends much money on e-waste
51.The underlined word buried probably means in the passage.
A.焚烧
B.障碍
C.回收
D.掩埋
52. This year, the Chinese government .
A. tries to change people's life
B. closes some computer companies
C.makes a new environmental protection law
D. asks people to hand in their old computers.
53. The passage is mainly about .
A. the ways to deal with e-waste
B. the cost of burning e-waste
C. the e-waste problem in China
D. the need to pass a law against e-waste
C
Globalization means that people, ideas, technology, money, services and many other things are moving between countries and changing the way people think and act.
Not everyone thinks the same way about globalization. Some people think it is bad, and some people think it is good. Some believe that globalization helps rich people get richer and makes poor people poorer. These people say that globalization helps big companies like Coca-Cola and McDonald's destroy local businesses. However, the people who think globalization is a good thing argue that globalization helps poorer people to become richer. They also think that it doesn't destroy local cultures. These people also believe globalization helps prevent wars. This is because countries with economic connections will try hard to keep good relationships so that their economies aren't destroyed.
No matter what you think about globalization, it affects the world in two areas: jobs and cultures.
Globalization has had a very strong influence on jobs all over the world. For some workers, such as engineers, lawyers and bankers, globalization has been a good development. These workers are able to successfully compete(竞争)globally and have seen an increase in their pay. But for those who work in factories or in the service industry(at hotels, shops and restaurants), it has not been good. Workers from poorer countries are trying to get these types of jobs. They will do the same job for less money. This decreases the pay for that job, so people get paid less to do it.
Cultures have also been affected by globalization. Foods such as Japanese noodles, Indian curry and French cheeses have spread around the world. We can also see an increase in the use of Chinese characters(汉字)in tattoos(纹身). Some people get these tattoos but they don't really know what the characters mean. Globalization also affects the film industry. Most people have
seen American movies. But because of globalization, Korean, Indian and Japanese movies have become more worldwide.
No one knows the future of globalization. Most experts agree that it will continue to grow and have an increasingly greater influence on people's lives in the future.
54. Some people think globalization is good because it may .
A. change local cultures
B. help local businesses develop
C. make rich people become richer
D. help stop wars among countries
55. According to Paragraph 4 we know .
A. engineers will get a lower pay
B. people can get favourite jobs more easily
C. globalization greatly affects people's jobs
D. workers from rich countries get paid less
56. Globalization helps people in the world .
A. know Chinese characters very well
B. go to different countries for movies
C. own the same culture in the end
D. enjoy foods from different countries
57. What can we infer(推断)from the passage?
A. Globalization is sure to do good to people.
B. Globalization will be limited in the future.
C. Globalization may change people's lives in the future.
D. Globalization will be loved throughout the world.

William Shakespeare died on April 23rd, 1616. This year's 400th anniversary of his death is not just a chance to remember one of the greatest writers of all time. It is a moment to celebrate his ongoing influence. Just as Ben Jonson, another great English writer of
his times, said, "he is not of an age, but for all time."
People like Shakespeare's plays because the characters show real human feelings. Romeo and Juliet, who are young lovers, don't quite know how to get ahead with their lives. They disagree with their parents. Their story has a sad ending. When we take the characters out of his period, they really speak to almost any time and place.
The language of Shakespeare is alive and well in modern, everyday English. Even if an English-speaker knows nothing about Shakespeare, they will surely know some sayings that come from his plays. When we have problems making up our mind, we say "to be or not to be, that is the question"(Hamlet). When a friend eats all the food in the house, we say he's "eating me out of house and home"(Henry Ⅳ)
As Shakespeare himself put it in his comedy As You Like It, "all the world's a stage." More than 400 years later, stages around the world still show this plays. Through his works, Shakespeare lives on. Perhaps we will still be attracted by his works 400 years from now.
83. How long has William Shakespeare been dead?
84. How can Shakespeare live on in some ways?
85. Would you like to read Shakespeare's works? Why or why not?
