第1题：
A
Each day every person in the United States throws away more than five pounds of rub-bish． There is more rubbish now than ever before and most of it is made up of the packages and cans in which we buy our food．The traditional ways of getting rid of solid wastes is quickly be-coming inadequate(不合适)． Many cities are experimenting with newer ways of handling their growing piles of rubbish．
One of these new ways is "recycling"． Through recycling，usable materials are taken out of wastes and added into something else． These usable parts of wastes are put through the cycle of going from a raw material（原材料） to a finished product again．
In some cities a machine called a hydrapuler (The machine got and named from hydra，which :means "fwater ．)is being used to help recycle rubbish A hydrapuler is like a huge mixing machine．The rubbish is dumped onto endless moving belt that feeds the machine． At the same time，water is pumped into the hydrapuler． With a whirling(旋转) and mixing action，the hydrapuler throws out the．heavy metal objects that can later be sold as waste metal． The rest of the rubbish-paper，food，plastic．rubber，rags，glass，wood，leaves，and other things disintegrates（碎裂） ，or falls apart． The rubbish is then mixed with water and carried in a slush(泥状物) to another piece of equipment where glass，sand and small pieces of metal come out．
With the hydrapuler，up t0 95 percent of the original rubbish is reclaimed． The remainder is turned into ash．
( ) 21． Rubbish means___________-
A． packages
B． cans
C． wastes
D． heavy metal objects

Polyester (聚酯 ) is now being used for bottles. ICI, the chemicals and plastics company, believes that it is now beginning to break the grip of glass on the bottle business and thus take advantage of this huge market.
All the plastics manufacturers have been experiencing hard times as their traditional products have been doing badly world-wide for the last few years. Between 1982 and 1984 the Plastics Division of ICI had lost a hundred and twenty million dollars, and they felt that the most hopeful new market was in packaging, bottles and cans.
Since 1982 it has opened three new factories producing "Melinar", the raw material from which high quality polyester bottles are made.
The polyester bottle was born in the 1970s, when soft drinks companies like Coca Cola started selling their drinks in giant two-liter containers. Because of the build-up of the pressure of gas in these large containers, glass was unsuitable. Nor was PVC, the plastic which had been used for bottles since the 1960s, suitable for drinks with gas in them. A new plastic had to be made.
Glass is still cheaper for the smaller bottles and will continue to be so, unless oil and plastic become much cheaper, but plastic does well for the larger sizes.
Polyester bottles are virtually unbreakable. The manufacturers claim they are also lighter, less noisy when being handled, and can be reused. Shopkeepers and other business people are unlikely to object to a change from glass to polyester, since these bottles mean few breakages, which are costly and time-consuming. The public, though, have been more difficult to persuade. ICI's commercial department is developing different bottles with interesting shapes, to try and make them visually more attractive to the public.
The next step could be to develop a plastic which could replace tins for food. The problem here is the high temperatures necessary for cooking the food in the container.
Plastics of various kinds have been used for making bottles__________.
查看材料A．since 1982
B．since the 1970s but only for large bottles
C．since the 1960s but not for liquids with gas in them
D．since companies like Coca Cola first tried them答案：C解析：根据第四段“Nor was PVC，the plastic which had been used for bottles since the 1960s．suitable for drinks with gas in them．"可知，作为“plastics of various kinds”中的一种，PVC在1960s就已用于瓶子包装，因此可以判断“plastics of various kinds”在1960s就已用于瓶子包装。 -
