26、rid local dumps of toxic old computers and televisions, they found an unexpected ally: Hewlett-Packard Co. Teaming up with greens and retailers, hp took on IBM, Apple Computer, and several major TV manufacturers, which were resisting recycling programs because of the costs. Aided by hps energetic lo

27、bbying, the greens persuaded state lawmakers to adopt a landmark program that forces electronics companies to foot the bill for recycling their old equipment. “This bill puts our market-based economy to work for the environment,“ said Washington Governor Christine O. Gregoire as she signed the plan

28、into law on Mar 24. The movement to recycle electronic refuse, or “e-waste,“ is spreading across the nation, and so is hps clout. The company helped the greens win a big battle in Maine, In 2004 when the state passed the nations first e-waste “take-back“ law. Washington followed suit. Now, Minnesota

29、 and New Jersey are preparing to act, and 19 other states are weighing legislation. Activists hope to banish high-tech junk from landfills and scrub the nations air and water of lead, chromium, mercury, and other toxins prevalent in digital debris, hps efforts have made it the darling of environment

30、alists. They say take-back laws are more effective at getting digital junk recycled than point-of-sale fees, which tax consumer electronics products to fund state-run recycling programs. Theyre also pleased because effective programs in the U. S. reduce the likelihood that the products will be shipp

31、ed to less developed countries and disassembled under unsafe conditions. But hps agenda isnt entirely altruistic. Take-back laws play to the companys strategic strengths. For decades the computer maker has invested in recycling infrastructure, a move that has lowered its production costs, given it a

32、 leg up in the secondary market for equipment, and allowed it to build a customer service out of “asset management,“ which includes protection of dam that might remain on discarded gear. In 2005, hp recycled more than 70 000 tons of product, the equivalent of about 10% of company sales and a 15% inc

33、rease from the year before. And it collected more than 2.5 million units (in excess of 25 000 tons) of hardware to be refurbished for resale or donation. No other electronics maker has a resale business on this scale. But the others may soon wish to emulate hp. “We see legislation coming,“ says Davi

34、d Lear, hps vice-president for corporate, social, and environmental responsibility. “A lot of companies havent stepped up to the plate If we do this right, it becomes an advantage to us.“ 31 Environmentalists found an unexpected ally because _. （ A） hp has jointed with greens and retailers to rid lo

35、cal dumps （ B） hp doesnt mind the huge cost of recycling old computers （ C） hp has green retailers （ D） IBM, Apple Computer dont want to cooperate with greens and retailers 32 Washington Governor Christine O.

36、 pay for recycling their equipment （ C） can boost market-based economy （ D） helped spread hps clout 33 Which state first passed the take-back law? （ A） Maine. （ B） Washington. （ C） Minnesota. （ D） New Jersey. 34 Which of the following statements about the e-waste take back laws is NOT true? （ A） It

37、won support from both environmentalists and hp. （ B） It recommends recycling instead of burying hi-tech waste. （ C） It may cut recycling costs to manufactures compared to collection of point-of-sale fees. （ D） It may directly threat the livelihood of people in less developed countries relying on dis

38、sembling wastes. 35 Why does the author say hps agenda is not altruistic? . Because recycling infrastructure is a major sources of revenue. . Because secondary market is huge. .

39、than 2.5 million hardware units in order to （ A） renew them for resale or donation （ B） dissemble them for making cheap products （ C） built a large data base （ D） repair them before giving them to charity organizations 36 On an average of six times a day, a doctor in Holland practices “active” eutha

40、nasia (安乐死 ):intentionally administering a lethal (致死的 )drug to a terminally iii patient who has asked to be relieved of suffering. Twenty times a day, life-prolonging treatment is withheld or withdrawn when there is no hope that it can effect an ultimate cure. “Active“ euthanasia remains a crime on

41、 the Dutch statute books, punishable by 12 years in prison. But a series of court cases over the past 15 years has made it clear that a competent physician who carries it out will not be prosecuted. Euthanasia, often called “mercy killing“ is a crime everywhere in Western Europe. But more and more d

42、octors and nurses readily admit to practicing it, most often in the “passive“ form of withholding or withdrawing treatment. The long simmering euthanasia issue has lately boiled over into a, sometimes, fierce public debate, with both sides claiming the mantle of ultimate righteousness. Those opposed

43、 to the practice see themselves upholding sacred principles of respect for life, while those in favor raise the banner of humane treatment. After years on the defensive, the advocates now seem to be gaining ground. Recent polls in Britain show that 72 percent of British subjects favor euthanasia ill

44、 some circumstances. An astonishing 76 percent of respondents to a poll taken last year in France said they would like the law changed to decriminalize mercy killings. Euthanasia has been a topic of controversy in Europe since at least 1936, when a bill was introduced in the House of Lords that woul

45、d have legalized mercy killing under very tightly supervised conditions. That bill failed, as have three others introduced in the House of Lords since then. Reasons for the latest surge of interest in euthanasia are not hard to find. Europeans, like Americans, are now living longer: Therefore, linge

46、ring chronic diseases have replaced critical illnesses as the primary cause of death. And the euthanasists argue that every human being should have the right to “die with dignity,“ by which they usually mean the right to escape the horrors of a painful or degrading hospitalization (住院治疗 ). Most expe

47、rts believe that euthanasia will continue to be practiced no matter what the law says. 37 From the passage we can see that in Holland _. （ A） a doctor who practices euthanasia will not be punished （ B） euthanasia is regarded as illegal （ C） euthanasia is very popular （ D） active euthanasia is still

48、illegal, but people often tolerate an experienced doctor who carries it out 38 What is the comment of the author on the problem of euthanasia? （ A） Euthanasia is not regarded as a crime in France. （ B） More and more medical workers like to practice euthanasia, no matter what form it takes. （ C） The

49、problem of euthanasia is now being debated heatedly and openly. （ D） There is not much difference between “active“ and “passive“ euthanasia. 39 Which of the following statements can not be found in the passage? （ A） Those opposed euthanasia say that they believe the right to live is sacred. （ B） Those in favor of euthanasia maintain that they are for humane treatment. （ C） Recently the advocates of euthanasia have got more support from the
