27、Shanghai became the first city to enforce its strictest-ever garbage regulation on July 1. According to the regulation, residents are required to separate dry refuse, wet trash, recyclable waste and dangerous waste. Individuals who fail to sort garbage face fines of up to 200 yuan (about $29). Enterprises can be fined up to 5, 000 yuan for failure to sort waste. China Daily readers share their opinions.

Fatdragon (UK)

In the UK, they force householders to sort the waste and administer heavy fines for getting it wrong. Needless to say, having acquired tons of waste that has been sorted for recycling, administers found the waste often just sits in a field because there is no market for it.

Bushier (Malaysia)

All that is needed is money invested in semi-auto sorting machines inside a factory and guaranteed, and then these garbage problems are solved. Some workers are still needed when machines are unable to sort correctly. New York has a garbage factory like this.

Mixamixa (Finland)

In Finland all apartment buildings with more than five apartments must recycle paper, cardboard, glass, metal and bio-waste. Failing to do so will give your apartment company a big fine. In Finland all soft drinks, wine bottles, beer bottles and strong alcohol bottles have a deposit. For example, a 1.5 liter Coca-Cola bottle has 0.4 euro deposit in the price when you buy it. You get the money back if you return the bottle to the store.

Ck47 (China)

I doubt whether it will achieve expected results, but things will improve for sure. Some people will start to put garbage in different bins and realize the importance of classifying garbage, but some will not do it as they are told, because it’s such a trouble. I am all for it though. It’s a good cause and with our efforts we will make it a nice planet for our kids.

A．Education.

B．Money.

29、Since its founding in 1923, Yellow Corporation has been a leader in the transportation industry, using trucks to transport goods between points in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. For decades, Yellow achieved success by concentrating virtually all of its attention on increasing efficiency at every turn. Yellow has long been a master at ensuring that trucks are full before they have a warehouse, and it has also developed precisely time delivery schedules.

Unfortunately, Yellow eventually fell victim to its own success. As operational efficiency increased, customer service received less and less attention, and before long, newer and more responsive companies were taking away the firm’s customers. Accompanying this problem was the fact that the customers most likely to seek a more service-oriented transportation provider were also the ones willing to pay high prices for the extra service. As a result, Yellow’s financial performance began to decline, slowly at first, but then more dramatically. Naturally, the decline in profit led to even worse across-the-board service.

To help turn Yellow around, the board of directors offered Bill Zollars the position of CEO. Already a highly respected manager, Zollars was attracted by the opportunity to revitalize the carrier. Zollars quickly learned that organizational change at Yellow would have to be fundamental. Over a period of decades, people throughout the company were often willing to do only the minimal amount necessary to get their jobs done. Zollars knew that he had to alter the attitudes, behavior, and performance of 30,000 employees. He began by improving communication. The CEO spent 18 months traveling to several hundred locations, and at each site, he talked face-to-face with customers and with employees at all levels.   He asked for opinions and provided his own message---namely, that enhanced customer service was to become the firm’s new focus.

Zollars’s plan consisted of more than promises and motivational speeches. While previous leaders often didn’t focus on problems and refused to reveal information about the firm’s   performance, Zollars openly acknowledged the company’s defect rate---the percentage of shipments that were late, wrong, or damaged. Employees were shocked to find that the rate was 40 percent, but that knowledge was necessary to enhance motivation and set a benchmark for improvement. Zollars also instituted the company’s first ongoing program for surveying customer satisfaction, and the results were reported openly throughout the company. Zollars made a real effort to listen to employees, gave them authority to make decisions, and developed an enviable reputation for honesty and commitment. “If people doing the work don’t believe what’s coming from the leadership,” says Zollars, “it doesn’t get implemented.”

【1】What caused Yellow Corporation’s financial performance to decline?

A．There was suddenly some difficulty finding enough warehouses.

B．Fewer customers were willing to pay high prices for extra services.

C．More transportation providers emerged with the market expanding.

D．It put more emphasis on operational efficiency than on customer service.

【2】What did Zollars do to facilitate the fundamental changes in Yellow Corporation?

A．He communicated with customers in person.

B．He employed some highly respected managers.

C．He reevaluated all the employee’s performance.

D．He estimated the minimal amount of job each should do.

【3】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that it was ______ that contributed to the success of Zollars’s plan.

A．the precise calculation of the company’s defect rate

B．the ongoing survey of the employers’ satisfaction

C．the improvement of the leadership’s confidence

D．the revelation of information to the employees

【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A．The CEOs of Yellow Corporation

B．The Future at Yellow Corporation

C．The Success of Yellow Corporation

D．The Turnaround at Yellow Corporation

30、Microsoft Corp founder Bill Gates caught people’s eye in a recent interview, when he suggested that robots should be taxed in order to help humans keep their jobs. Gates is only one of many people in the tech world who have worried about _________ and its threat to workers.

It’s easy to see why the tech world is _________. The rise of machine learning has increased the fear that _________ humans could simply become out of date--_________, 3.5 million American truck drivers might soon find their jobs threatened by driverless trucks. Though in the past, technology usually complemented workers _________ replacing them, there’s no law of nature (自然法则) saying the technology of the future will work the same. A few economists even claim that cheap automation has already _________ income from workers to company owners.

Another _________ is that even if the mass of humanity ultimately does find new ways to add value by complementing new technology—to "race with the machines,” as economist Erik Brynjofsson puts it—this transition could take a long time and hurt a lot of people. As Bloomberg View’s Tyler Cowen has noted, wages in Britain fell for four decades at the start of the Industrial Revolution. More _________, we’ve seen very slow and painful adjustment to the impact of globalization. If the machine learning revolution hurts workers for 40 years before ultimately helping them, it might be worth it to _________ that revolution and give them time to adjust.

The main argument against taxing the robots is that it might hold back __________. Growth in rich countries has slowed markedly in the past decade, suggesting that it’s getting harder and harder to find new ways of doing things. Stagnating(停滞的) productivity, combined with falling business investment, suggests that __________ of new technology is currently too slow rather than too fast----the biggest problem right now isn’t too many robots, it’s too few. Taxing new technology, however it’s done, could make that slowdown worse.

The problem with Gate’s basic __________ is that it’s very hard to tell the difference between new technology that complement humans and new technology that replaces them. This is especially true over the long term. Power looms（织布机）replaced human weavers back in the Industrial Revolution. __________, people eventually became more productive, by learning to operate those looms. If taxes had slowed the development of power looms, the eventual (最终的) improvements would have come later.

This is a powerful argument __________ the taxation of automation. Gates is right to say that we should start thinking ahead of time about how to use policy to mitigate（缓和）the unintended consequences of automation. But given the importance of sustaining innovation, we should look at __________ policies.

【1】

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

“Yeah, a BATTLE!” said William, pulling my arm. “You see that, John?”

I looked up from my desk to see Ms. Chow writing on the board, “Battle of the Books!” She smiled and then said, “Are you ready to go into the battle? Get prepared for it next week!”

“Is it a reading contest?” I was so excited that I forgot to raise my hand first.

“Good question, John!” said Ms. Chow. “It is not a race and you are not going to beat each other. We are not going to see who can read the fastest or the most books, but you are going to form a team of three and then set a reading goal for your team. If your team meet your goal by the end of this month, you will get a prize!”

Even though the prize was something silly, that still sounded pretty good to me. I turned towards William immediately, saying,“Shall we be teammates?”

“Yes, for sure!” he said. William and I liked a lot of the same books, so we could set a goal together.

The be1l rang before Ms. Chow could explain any more rules. William and I were about to begin our discussion when Lily passed my desk and said “Teammates?” to William and me. Lily was a girl from Spain and she could read super-fast in both English and Spanish! If we set a goal like reading books by authors from different countries, she could help the team for sure.

“Yeah,of course!” William and I nodded. I had my team! The three of us settled down and started a discussion immediately, trying to figure out what we needed to do to get the prize. Just then, I saw my best friend Tom running towards my desk. I could clearly see the expectation shining in his eyes.

注意：

1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

“John, let’s be teammates!” Tom said to me excitedly.
