　　下面有3篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题定1个最佳选项。
　　Recycling Around the World
　　Recycling is one of the best environmental success stories of the late 20th century. But we could do more. People must not see recycling .as fashionable， but essential.
　　The Japanese are very good at recycling because they live in a crowded country.
　　They do not have much space. They do not want to share their limited space with rubbish. But even so， Tokyo area alone is estimated to have three million tons of leftover rubbish at present.
　　In 1996， the United States recycled and composted （制成肥料）57 million tons of waste （27% of the nation’s solid waste）。 This is 57 million tons of waste which did not go into landfills and incinerators （焚化炉）。 In doing this， 7，000 rubbish collection programmes and recycling centres helped the authorities.
　　In Rockford， a city in Illinois， US， its officials choose one house each week and check its garbage （废物）。 If the garbage does not contain any newspapers or aluminium （铝） cans， then the resident of the house gets a prize of at least $1，000.
　　In Japan， certain cities give children weekly supplies of tissue paper and toilet paper in exchange for a weekly collection of newspapers.
　　In one year Britain recycles：
　　• 1 out of every 3 newspapers.
　　• 1 out of every 4 glass bottles and jars （罐子）。
　　• 1 out of every 4 items of clothing.
　　• 1 out of every 3 aluminium drink cans.
　　In 1999， Hong Kong transported 1.3 million tons of waste to mainland China for recycling. Around 535，000 tons of waste were recycled in Hong Kong itself.
　　Over half the things we throw away could be recycled. That means we could recycle
　　10 times as much as we do now.
　　However， recycling needs a lot of organisation and special equipment. Also， there is not much use for some recycled material.
　　31 Which of the following is NOT true of the Japanese？
　　A.They live in a crowded country.
　　B.They have recycled all their waste.
　　C.They are very good at recycling.
　　D.They have to share their limited space with rubbish
　　32 How much waste did the US recycle in 1996？
　　A.1.3 million tons.
　　B.27 million tons.
　　C.57 million tons.
　　D.53 million tons.
　　33 Where can people get a big prize for contributing to recycling？
　　A.Rockford.
　　B.Tokyo.
　　C.Hong Kong.
　　D.London.
　　34 In Japan， the newspapers collected by children
　　A.are given to poor people.
　　B.are used as reading materials.
　　C.are used as prizes.
　　D.are recycled.
　　35 Which of the following is NOT true of Britain？
　　A.It recycles 1 out of every 3 newspapers each year.
　　B.It recycles 1 out of every 4 glass bottles and jars each year
　　C.It recycles 1 out of every 3 aluminium cans each year.
　　D.It recycles 1 out of every 4 items of clothing each year.

Walking Robot Carries a Person
　　The first walking robot capable of carrying a person unveiled on Friday in Tokyo， Japan. Its creators at Waseda University in Tokyo and the Japanese robotics company
　　Tmsuk hope their two-legged creation will one day enable wheel-chair users to climb up and down the stairs and assist the movement of heavy goods over uneven ground.
　　The battery-powered robot， code-named WL-16， is essentially an aluminium chair mounted on two sets of telescopic poles. The poles are bolted to flat plates which act as feet. WL-16 uses 12 actuators （传动装置） to move forwards， backwards and sideways while carrying an adult weighing up to 60 kilograms （130 pounds）。 The robot can adjust its body and walk smoothly even if the person it is carrying shifts in the chair. At present it can only step up or down a few millimeters， but the， team plans to make it capable of dealing with a normal flight of stairs.
　　I believe this bipedal （两足的） robot， which I prefer to call a two-legged walking chair rather than a wheel-chair， will eventually enable people to go up and down the stairs，“ said Atsuo Takanishi， from Waseda University.
　　“We have had strong robots for some time but usually they have been manipulators， they have not been geared to carrying people around，” says Ron Arkin， at the Georgia Institute of Technology and robotics consultant for Sony. “But I don’t know how safe and how user-friendly WL-16 is.”
　　Tmsuk chief executive Yoichi Takamoto argues that bipedal or multi-legged robots will be more useful than so-called “caterpillar （毛毛虫） models” for moving over uneven ground.
　　WL-16’s normal walking step measures 30 centimetres， but it can stretch its legs to 136 cm apart. The prototype （原型） is currently radio-controlled， but the research team plans to equip it with a stick-like controller for the user in future. Takanishi said it will take “at least two years” to develop the WL-16 prototype into a working model.
　　Smaller， ground-hugging （紧贴地面行走的） robots have been developed to pass across tricky ground. One maggot-like （像蛆一样的） device uses a magnetic fluid to pulse its way along， while another snake-like robot uses smart software to devise new movement strategies if the landscape affects any one part. One ball-shaped robot even uses a leap-and-bounce approach to travel over rough territory. But none of these are big or strong enough to carry a person too.
