上海市九年级英语阅读理解真题专练-8 一、阅读理解题 （2021·上海金山区·期末 Have you ever stayed in a hotel Most Chinese hotels often provide people with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and so on. Many people like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing no longer provide people with these disposables. They want to ask people to use fewer disposable things. Many disposable things are made of plastic (塑料). People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources (资源) and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400 kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000,000 kg of plastic bags and 1,320,000 kg of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down (腐烂).

(1) Why do many people like disposable things (2) What did some hotels in Beijing do from June (3) When do people throw away the disposable things (4) How much waste does one Chinese person make one year (5) How long does it take to break down the plastic (6) What should we do to protect our environment （2020·上海·上海虹口区·期末） Recycling is one of the best environmental success stories of the late 20th century.

In Rockford, a city in Illinois, U. S., the government chooses one house each week and checks its rubbish. If the rubbish does not have any newspapers or metal drink cans, then that house gets a prize of at least $1,000. In one year Britain recycles: 1 out of every 3 newspapers. 1 out of every 4 glass bottles and jars. 1 out of every 4 shirts, trousers and other types of clothes. In China, Hong Kong transported 1.3 million tons of rubbish to the mainland for recycling in 1999. And around 535,000 tons of rubbish were recycled in Hong Kong of China itself. Over half of 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 planning and special machines.
