Every family in the UK produces over a ton of rubbish every year. A large part of the waste could be recycled, but only about 50% of the family waste is recycled in the UK now. 1
First let's think about waste：Waste is created when we throw things away because we no longer need or want them. 2
When we throw things away, the waste is harmful to the environment in two ways. On the one hand, we are losing natural resources（资源）and energy, such as the wood which is made into chopsticks. So if we keep using and throwing away resources in this way, finally they will be used up. 3 The waste, or rubbish, has to go somewhere. In the UK, most waste is burned every year, which causes environmental pollution.
It is important for everyone to live sustainably（可持续地）, not just in the UK but around the world. 4 Then how can we do something smarter with our unwanted things
5 Recycling means turning waste products into materials to make new products. For example, old mobile phones can be separated into different parts and some of the parts can be used in new phones or other electronic products.
All in all, everyone needs to make an effort to live an environmentally friendly life.
阅读短文，把A~E五个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容完整。
A．Recycling is one way.
B．However, it is difficult to make it come true.
C．On the other hand, we are also polluting the environment.
D．This could be anything—an empty bottle or an old mobile phone.
E．The following explains why waste is bad for the environment and why it needs recycling.
Over 900 years ago, 18-year-old Wang Ximeng blew people away with his famous painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains（千里江山图）. Centuries later, a group of talented dancers allow the beauty of the painting to shine in a new way the dance show: The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting（只此青绿）.
A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains is the only extant （尚存的）work by Wang. It has been put on show only three times since 1949. The dance show tells the story of a researcher who has worked hard to study the painting. By chance, the researcher travels back in time to see the moment when Wang was about to finish the work.

It shows the process of how the painting is done. It also introduces lots of traditional techniques（技艺）like paintbrush making to the audience, which improves people’s understanding of traditional culture.
The production team planned the dance show carefully. The excellent dancers bring a great performance with their skills. Besides, the beautiful costurnes and music grace （为增色）the dance show.

Among all traditional Chinese operas, types of facial makeup in Peking Opera have developed into the most systematic one. Different colors are used to show different characters, but at first, only three colors were used: red, white, and black.
Red is generally used to show that a role is honest, frank and loyal. In fact, red is originally just to show the color of people’s skin. Because many roles use red and black to show they are very brave and honest, red gradually has another meaning. A typical “ red full face” is Guan Yu, known for his loyalty to his emperor, Liu Bei.
The role with the white face commonly seen on the stage is bad in human nature. Typical characters are Cao Cao, who was powerful but cruel in the time of the Three Kingdoms, and Qin Hui, who put the national hero Yue Fei to death.
The black face shows either a rude and brave character or a fair and selfless personality. Typical characters of the former are Zhang Fei with a black angry butterfly face of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Li Kui of Water Margin, and a typical character of the latter is Bao Zheng, a fearless and fair official of the Song Dynasty.
Later, other colors are gradually added to them, such as purple, symbolizing justice; yellow used for soldiers, showing bravery; blue, showing a character has a strong personality and is very calculating.
1. The color of red is originally used to show ________.
A．a person’s skin B．a character’s bravery C．a role’s honesty, frankness and loyalty
2. Why does the role of Qin Hui have a white face
A．Because he was powerful.
B．Because he was cruel.
C．Because he put the national hero to death.
3. Typical characters of the black face in this passage are ________.
A．Zhang Fei and Li Kui
B．Zhang Fei, Bao Zheng and Li Kui
C．Zhang Fei, Water Margin and Bao Zheng
4. There are ________ colors mentioned in the facial makeup of Peking Opera.
