18、 it in one of the smaller bins. Then it compresses the waste so it occupies less space.It is thought that the bin could be stocked by department stores such as John Lewis, which said it is introducing more new hi-tech recycling bins.

By resetting the rotating time of the earth.B. By referring to ancient timekeeping records.C. By studying the moons gravitatio

32、nal effect on the oceans.D. By measuring time again with an atomic clock.14. What can we infer about the study from what the geographer said?A. Geography theory supports the result of the study.B. The geographer disagrees to the research conclusion.C. The scientists research is meaningless. D. Its r

33、ight to get geographers involved in the study.15. What is the meaning of the underlined word “deceleration” in Paragraph 2?A. Evolution B. Slowdown. C. Enlargement. D.
