第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、BC、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
When we talk about Americans barely into adulthood who are saddled with(担负着) unbearable levels of debt’ the conversation is almost always about student loan debt. But there’s a growing body of evidence suggesting that today’s young adults are also drowning in credit-card debt and that many of them will take this debt to their graves（坟墓）.
More than 20% overspent their income by more than $ 100 every single month. Since they haven’t built up their credit histories yet, it's a safe bet that these young adults are paying relatively high interest rates on the resulting credit card debt.
Although many young people blame "socializing" as a barrier to saving money, most of them aren’t purchasing $ 20 drinks in trendy bars. They’re struggling with much more daily financial demands.
To a disturbingly large extent, the young and the broke are relying on credit cards to make it until their next payday. This obviously isn’t permanent in the long run, and it’s going to put a huge drag on their spending power even after they reach their peak earning years, because they’ll still be paying interest on that bottle of orange juice or box of spaghetti (意式面条）they bought a decade earlier.
A new study out of Ohio State University found that young adults are accumulating credit card debt at a more rapid rate than other age groups, and that they're slower at paying it off. "If what we found continues to hold true, we may have more elderly people with substantial financial problems in the future’" warns Lucia Dunn, professor of economics at Ohio State. "If our findings persist, we may be faced with a financial crisis among elderly people who can’t pay off their credit cards."
Dunn says a lot of these young people are never going to get out from under their credit card debt. "Many people are borrowing on credit cards so heavily that payoff rates at these levels are not plenty to recover their credit card debt by the end of their life which could have loss impacts for the credit card issuing banks,"
1、What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A．Many young Americans will never be able to pay off their debts.
B．Credit cards play an increasingly important role in college life.
C．Credit cards are doing more harm than student loans.
D．The American credit card system is under criticism.
2、Why do young people have to pay a higher interest on their credit card debt?
A．They tend to forget about the deadlines.
B．They haven't developed a credit history.
C．They are often unable to pay back in time.
D．They are inexperienced in managing money.
3、What is said to be the consequence of young adults relying on credit cards to make ends meet?
A．It will place an unnecessary burden on society.
B．It will give them no motivation to work hard.
C．It will exert psychological pressure on them.
D．It will affect their future spending power.
4、What will happen to young adults if their credit card debt keeps accumulating according to Lucia Dunn?
A．They will have to pay an increasingly higher interest rate.
B．They may experience a financial crisis in their old age.
C．Their quality of life will be affected.
D．Their credit cards may be cancelled.
5、What does Lucia Dunn think might be a risk for the credit card issuing banks?
A．They go bankrupt as a result of over-lending.
B．They lose large numbers of their regular clients.
C．Their clients leave their debts unpaid upon death.
D．Their interest rates have to be reduced now and then.

B
Cigarette butts (烟蒂) are everywhere - clogging up our streets, littering our beaches - and for decades they’ve been thought of as “unrecyclable”. But a New Jersey-based company, called TerraCycle, has taken on the challenge, and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette butts and turn them into industrial plastic products. Its aim is to take items that people normally consider impossible to recycle, and then use science to figure out a way to do just that.
Despite the increase in anti-smoking ads and messaging over the past 20 years, global sales of cigarettes increased by 4 percent, and a whole lot of those cigarette butts are ending up as trash, which can surely pollute the surrounding environment.
So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful? TerraCycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts. They mix the remaining materials, such as the tobacco and the paper, with other kinds of rubbish, and use it on non-agricultural land, such as golf courses. The filters (过滤嘴) are a little harder. To recycle these, TerraCycle first makes them clean and cuts them into small pieces, and then combines them with other recycled materials, making them into liquid for industrial plastic products.
They now have more than 3,000 cigarette recycling bins in nine countries around the world. They’re also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 40 percent of household waste that currently can’t be recycled, such as chocolate packaging, pens, and mobile phones. The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in. landfill (垃圾填埋), and then get companies to fund the process. And so far, it’s working.
“We haven’t found anything that we can’t recycle,” communications director of Terra Cycle, Albe Zakes, said. “But with the amount and variety of packaging and litter in the world, we are always looking for new waste streams to address.”
1、Which of the following is true according to the text?
A．It is impossible for the filters to be recycled.
B．Terra Cycle has achieved a lot in recycling what used to be considered “unrecyclable”.
C．Anti-smoking ads and messaging have led to people’s quitting smoking.
D．Mobile phones can’t be recycled by means of the latest research.
2、What can we learn about the approach to recycling cigarette butts?
A．Unbelievable and costly.
B．Excellent but hard to carry out.
C．Useless in dealing with other household waste.
D．Practical and environmentally friendly
3、The underlined word ‘“trash” in Paragraph 2 probably means .
A．mineral B．fertilizer
C．rubbish D．poison
4、In Albe Zakes’s opinion, .
A．TerraCycle has successfully recycled everything.
B．they still have a long way to go.
C．it will be too difficult for them to find new ways.
D．the public should be aware of the environmental pollution.
