Passage 3

      Bond had walked for only a few minutes when it suddenlyoccurred to him that he was being followed. There was no evidence for it except a slight headache and a little knowing the people near him but believed in his sixth sense and he at once stopped in front of the shop window he was passing and looked occasionally back along 46th street. Nothing but a lot of miscellaneous people moving slowly on the sidewalks, mostly on the same side as himself, the side that was back from the sun. There was no sudden movement into a doorway, nobody wiping his face with a handkerchief to avoid recognition, nobody bending down to tie a shoelace.

      He went on and turned into the Avenue of the Americans,  stopping in the-first doorway, the entrance to a woman's un-derwear store where a man in a blue hat with his back to him  was examining the black face paints on a particularly realistic dummy (模型) .    

      And then something grasped his arm and a voice came,  "All right, Limey. Take it easy unless you want lead for lunch. "and he felt something press into his back just above the  kidney. There was a tap as his fist was caught in the other man's left hand, and at the same time as the contact telegraphed to Bond's mind that there could have been no gun, there came the well remembered laughter and the lazy voice saying, "No good, James. The angles have got you."

      Bond straightened himself slowly and for a moment he could only gaze into the smiling face of Felix Leiter with bland disbelief, his built-up tension (紧张) slowly relaxing. 

      "So you were doing a front tail, you bastard?' he finally said.

1. What did the man mean by saying "Take it easy unless you  want lead for lunch"?
   A. Put up your hands.
   B. Don't move or I'll shoot you.
   C. If you want to have lunch, you must listen to me.
   D. You go first slowly and we'll have lunch together.
答案: B  指导：从上下文知，Bond当时以为是枪顶着他的后背，故推知本句决非本义。lead指子弹。

Passage 4

     With fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes of the recy cling of waste. The word "rubbish"could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dumps would be made into something useful.  Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.

     The latest project is to take a city of around half a million citizens and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go Out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw ma terials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.

     Another new-project is being set up to discover the best way of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: First, it will Pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that founders and rollers will break up everything that can be broken. Finally. the rubbish will pass under magnets (磁铁), which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.

     The first full-size giant recycling plants are perhaps fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.

1. The underlined part "should be well on with"(Para. 1 ) most probably means__________.
  A. complete                           B. get ready to start
  C. achieve a great deal in             D. put an end to
答案：C 指导：由下文介绍的关于回收利用废品的情况可以推断出来：be well on with sth.的意思是：achieve a greatdeal in sth．在某方面有很大成就。
2. What is not mentioned as a part of the recycling process described in Paragraph 3?
  A. Breaking up whatever is breakable.
  B. Sharpening metal bars.
  C. Separating light elements from the heavy ones.
  D. Sorting out small pieces of metal.
答案：B 指导：原文中的信息是：First，讧willpassthroughsharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags．．．而B项提供的信息却是“将铁条弄尖”。
3. What's the main reason for big cities to build their own recy cling plants?
   A. To deal with wastes in a better way.
   B. To protect the environment from pollution.
   C. To get raw materials locally.
   D. To make much money from those plants.
答案：C 指导：从最后一段"WiththegrowingCOStoftransporting rubbish tomore distant dumps(随着把垃圾运到遥远的垃圾场的费用增加)”可以推断出，在大城市当地处理垃圾可以节省运费。
4. The passage is mainly about _______
   A. a cheap way to get energy
   B. the place of recycling plants
   C. new ways of recycling wastes
   D. the probability of city environment
答案：B 指导：结合全文和第二段可以作出判断。
