The process of recycling food waste and turning it into usable soil is called composting（堆制肥料）.Food waste that can be composted includes fruit and vegetable peels, coffee g

19、rounds, tea bags, and eggshells. Garden waste such as stems and leaves can also be composted. Meat, fish, and dairy food waste cannot be recycled.According to environmental groups, composting reduces the amount of trash going into landfills, and composted waste holds a wide range of nutrients. When

20、compost is added to the soil in gardens and fields, it helps crops grow.Reducing the amount of waste that goes into landfills is one reason why cities and states are passing food -waste recycling laws. “Our landfills are far from enough for the creation of new ones is shrinking.” Renee Crowley, a pr

21、oject manager at the Lower East Side Ecology Center in New York City, told TFK.Officials in Seattle, Washington, say that food waste makes up 30% of the trash going into landfills, and they are looking to reduce that percentage.

Many schools and colleges have also started compo

23、sting programs.Those who ate against food-recycling laws say that the composting process is costly.

26、i Fergusons attitude towards food-recycling laws is probably .A. thankfulB. negativeC. uncaring D. supportiveDIt is thought that the Moon was formed when a planet about the size of Mars struck the early Earth around 4.5 billion years ago. The pieces left over from the hit combined to form the Moon.

27、At the time of its formation, the Moon was just 14,000 miles away from our planet, compared with a quarter of a million miles between the Earth and the Moon today.The Moon continues to spin away from the Earth, at the rate of 3.78cm per year. Without the Moon, the Earth could slow down enough to bec

28、ome unstable（不稳定的）, but this would take billions of years and it may never happen at all. The Moon is getting away from the Earth mainly due to the action of the Earths tides（潮汐）.While 3.78cm may not seem like much, this small difference over a long enough period of time could affect life on the Ear

29、th, making the planet slow down. On the early Earth, when the Moon was newly formed, days were five hours long. but with the Moons braking（减速）effect operating on the Earth for the last 4.5 billion years, days have slowed down to the 24 hours that we are familiar with now, and they will continue to s

30、low down in the future.The length of a day, or in other words the rotation（旋转）speed of the planet, plays a big part in its stability. Just like keeping a plate spinning on a stick, the key is to have the plate spinning fast, because once it slows down it falls to the floor. In a similar way, as the

31、Earths rotation slows down, our whole planet may start to slowly shake.If this were to happen, and the Earth became unstable, then parts of the world could experience much greater temperature changes. As humans we have the ability to adapt to our local surroundings to meet our needs. By the time any

32、 change occurred, humans might even have developed technology to solve the problem. So we have little to fear at present. Unfortunately most animals are not so adaptable and if these changes happened rapidly, then most animals would not be able to evolve（进化）quickly enough to survive.12.What can we l

33、earn about the Moon when it was born？A. It created a lot of pieces.B. It had hit the Earth very hard.C. It was about the size of Mars.D. It sat much closer to the Earth.13.What will be the length of a day in the future？A. Around 5 hours.B. Shorter than 5 hours.C. Still around 24 hours.D. Longer than

34、 24 hours.14.In Paragraph 4, what is the plate compared to？A. The Moon.B. The Earth.C. The stick.D. The floor.15.How does the author look at the Earths slowdown？A. Humans wont get used to it.B. It will be good for most animals.C. There is no need to worry now.D. It will bring a better climate.第二节(共5
