28、 请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A When you throw something in the trash, soon a garbage truck will come to take in away. Then where does it go? That depends on where you live. Different towns deal with trash in different ways. Recycling A recycling truck picks up paper, cardboard, metal,
29、plastic and glass. These go to the recycling plant to be sorted and made into new things. Incinerator An incinerator is a huge stove that burns trash to make heat and electricity. The ash thats left gets buried in a landfill. Trash ash can be poisonous, so it has to be stored carefully. But it takes
30、 up a lot less room than just plain trash. Compost Food waste might go to a composter. In a compost heap(堆肥 堆), bacteria and worms break down dead plants and old food. They turn it into good, rich oil. Some people keep compost heaps in their gardens. Big commercial composters handle waste from resta
31、urants and farms. 5 Landfills Some trash gets buried in landfills. A landfill starts as a big hole. Trucks dump trash. Big earth movers push it into place and crush it down. They cover the trash with dirt to keep scavengers(食腐动物) away. The bottom of a landfill is lined with a barrier to keep bad thi
32、ngs from leaking into the ground. Pipes drain away liquid. When the landfill is full, its covered with earth. It might become a park or lawn. ( )56. What can we learn from the passage? A. Recycling helps to generate energy. B. Bacteria and worms help handle food waste. C. The landfill is used to dri
33、ve scavengers away. D. Trash ash is carefully handled to save room. ( )57. Whats the purpose of the passage? A. To inform us of trash treatment. B. To appeal for trash classification. C.

34、ience is likely to have been Disney productionswhether we are talking about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or Frozenthat have long been considered safe, healthy choices for kids, and pictures that parents can feel they dont need to screen in advance. When you are a big person, a movie seen in a the
35、atre is much larger than life; when youre a little person, it can be like a new entry opening in the universe. Those experiences matter, and Disney knows the powerand the profit potentialof whats in its values, which helps explain the studios ongoing strategy of remaking its most popular animated fi
36、lms, often in liveaction versions. How do you feel about directors interpretation of these movies, a combination of liveaction filmmaking techniques, virtualreality methods and computergenerated imaginary, depends largely on how you feel about the original. The stories, even with a gently updated sc
37、ript, are roughly the same. If youve seen the original, you know how the rest of them go. In the following years, well also watch other Disneys remakes such as Mulan. Any children raised by Disney films would think that this is a great time to be alive. Right? But judging by critics ratings of some
38、liveaction movies, it seems that the powerful studio has been unable to wow audiences. So why more live actions? The money Lets face it: Walt Disney Pictures is all about generating more revenue. Even though it did not manage to capture critics, it still managed to catch the audiences hearts. And th
39、at is more than enough. After all, films are not made to entertain critics; its all about creating an ultimate cinematic experience for casual moviegoers. And as long as theyre entertained with new interpretations of beloved stories, why stop making liveaction films? Inclusion When you spend your en
40、tire childhood dancing and singing along to these characters，its beyond magical to see them again when youre an adult and are the same age as them. Thats one of the few magical effects of movies. Not to mention, Aladdins South Asian cast is also a strong 6 statement for the world. Perhaps this is al
41、so the reason why Disney wants Mulan to have an all Asian cast. Lets hope theyre not the only ones and Disney is bringing more diverse stories to be told. Nostalgia(怀旧) All of these Disney remakes are designed to fuel the nostalgia of boomers, Gen Xers and millennials, and many of the moviegoers who
42、 grew up with these movies, in particular, now have young kids of their own. Little wonder the studio is seeing big dollar signs in them. ( )58. Disney productions are parents first choice for kids because they _ A. promote childrens overall health B. dont need booking in advance C. dont need a scre
43、en to enjoy them D. have been enjoying a good reputation ( )59. Your feeling about the live- action films remade mainly relies on _ A. the filmmaking technology B. the popularity of the films C. the familiarity with the story line D. the computergenerated imaginary ( )60. In the authors opinion, wha
44、t could be the main reason for Disneys more live actions? A. Its trying its best to satisfy both critics and audience. B. Its sparing no efforts to earn as much revenue as possible. C. Its seeking and adding global elements to make diverse stories. D. Its bringing back those sweet memories to its lo
45、yal aging fans. C Pinocchio may be just a childrens fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated the socalled “Pinocchio effect” and found that our noses dont grow when we tell a lie, but actually shrink a bit. Dr. Emilio Gmez Miln and his team developed a li
46、e detector test that used thermography to tell if people were lying, and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful, the temperature of the tips of their noses dropped up to 1.2C, while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5. Scientists also found that dr
47、op in temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is undetected by the human eye. “One has to think in order to lie, which rises the temperature of the forehead， ” Dr. Gmez Miln explained the findings. “At the same time we feel anxious， which lowers the t
48、emperature of the nose.” For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while being scanned by thermal imaging technology. One of these tasks involved calling a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents, partner or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants h
49、ad to devise the lie themselves during the call, and the thermal cameras picked up this “reverse Pinocchio effect” caused by the fluctuation(起伏) in temperature in the nose and forehead. Interestingly, the thermal lie detector picked up the temperature difference in 80 percent of test subjects, which is a better rate of success than that of any mod
